hath attended to His word, and heard it? 19Behold, a storm of the Lord is gone forth in fury,Yea, a whirling storm;It shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.20The anger of the Lord shall not return,Until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart;In the end of days ye shall consider it perfectly.21I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran;I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.22But if they have stood in My council,Then let them cause My people to hear My words,And turn them from their evil way,And from the evil of their doings. 23Am I a God near at hand, saith the Lord,And not a God afar off?24Can any hide himself in secret placesThat I shall not see him? saith the Lord.Do not I fill heaven and earth?Saith the Lord.25I have heard what the prophets have said,That prophesy lies in My name, saying:'I have dreamed, I have dreamed.'26How long shall this be?Is it in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies,And the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?27That think to cause My people to forget My nameBy their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour,As their fathers forgot My name for Baal.28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;And he that hath My word; let him speak My word faithfully.What hath the straw to do with the wheat?Saith the Lord.29Is not My word like as fire?Saith the Lord;And like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal My words every one from his neighbour. 31Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use there tongues and say: 'He saith.' 32Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies, and by their wantonness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither can they profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
33And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying: 'What is the burden of the Lord?' then shalt thou say unto them: 'What burden! I will cast you off, saith the Lord.' 34And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say: 'The burden of the Lord', I will even punish that man and his house. 35Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother: 'What hath the Lord answered?' and: 'What hath the Lord spoken?' 36And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more; for every man's own word shall be his burden; and would ye pervert the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God? 37Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: 'What hath the Lord answered thee?' and: 'What hath the Lord spoken?' 38But if ye say: 'The burden of the Lord'; therefore thus saith the Lord: Because ye say this word: 'The burden of the Lord', and I have sent unto you, saying: 'Ye shall not say: The burden of the Lord'; 39therefore, behold, I will utterly tear you out, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from My presence; 40and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten
24The Lord showed me, and behold two baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord; after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. 2One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. 3Then said the Lord unto me: 'What seest thou, Jeremiah?' And I said: 'Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.' 4And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying: 5'Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good. 6And I will set Mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart. 8And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the Lord: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt; 9I will even make them a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. 10And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.'
25The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; 2which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, speaking betimes and often; but ye have not hearkened. 4And the Lord hath sent unto you all His servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often—but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear—5saying: 24
'Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers, for ever and ever; 6and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke Me not with the work of your hands, and I will do you no hurt.' 7Yet ye have not hearkened unto Me, saith the Lord; that ye might provoke Me with the work of your hands to your own hurt. 8Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because ye have not heard My words, 9behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10Moreover I will cause to cease from among them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp. 11And this whole land shall be a desolation, and a waste; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it perpetual desolations. 13And I will bring upon that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands.
15For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be like madmen, because of the sword that I will send among them.—17Then took I the cup of the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me: 18Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them an appalment, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 19Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20and all the mingled people; and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; 21Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; 22and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; 23Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners of their hair polled; 24and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness; 25and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; 26and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth.—And the king of 4Sheshach shall drink after them. 27And thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more,
