7:1 The word 1697 that came to Jeremiah 3414 from the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800,

7:2 Stand 5975 8798 in the gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, and proclaim 7121 8804 there this word 1697, and say 559 8804, Hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, all [ye of] Judah 3063, that enter in 935 8802 at these gates 8179 to worship 7812 8692 the LORD 3068.

7:3 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, Amend 3190 8685 your ways 1870 and your doings 4611, and I will cause you to dwell 7931 8762 in this place 4725.

7:4 Trust 982 8799 ye not in lying 8267 words 1697, saying 559 8800, The temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, The temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, The temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, [are] these.

7:5 For if ye throughly 3190 8687 amend 3190 8686 your ways 1870 and your doings 4611; if ye throughly 6213 8800 execute 6213 8799 judgment 4941 between a man 376 and his neighbour 7453;

7:6 [If] ye oppress 6231 8799 not the stranger 1616, the fatherless 3490, and the widow 490, and shed 8210 8799 not innocent 5355 blood 1818 in this place 4725, neither walk 3212 8799 after 310 other 312 gods 430 to your hurt 7451:

7:7 Then will I cause you to dwell 7931 8765 in this place 4725, in the land 776 that I gave 5414 8804 to your fathers 1, for 5704 ever 5769 and ever 5769.

7:8 Behold, ye trust 982 8802 in lying 8267 words 1697, that cannot profit 3276 8687.

7:9 Will ye steal 1589 8800, murder 7523 8800, and commit adultery 5003 8800, and swear 7650 8736 falsely 8267, and burn incense 6999 8763 unto Baal 1168, and walk 1980 8800 after 310 other 312 gods 430 whom ye know 3045 8804 not;

7:10 And come 935 8804 and stand 5975 8804 before 6440 me in this house 1004, which is called 7121 8738 by my name 8034, and say 559 8804, We are delivered 5337 8738 to do 6213 8800 all these abominations 8441?(which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called)

7:11 Is this house 1004, which is called 7121 8738 by my name 8034, become a den 4631 of robbers 6530 in your eyes 5869? Behold, even I have seen 7200 8804 [it], saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

7:12 But go 3212 8798 ye now unto my place 4725 which [was] in Shiloh 7887, where I set 7931 8765 my name 8034 at the first 7223, and see 7200 8798 what I did 6213 8804 to it for 6440 the wickedness 7451 of my people 5971 Israel 3478.

7:13 And now, because ye have done 6213 8800 all these works 4639, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, and I spake 1696 8762 unto you, rising up early 7925 8687 and speaking 1696 8763, but ye heard 8085 8804 not; and I called 7121 8799 you, but ye answered 6030 8804 not;

7:14 Therefore will I do 6213 8804 unto [this] house 1004, which is called 7121 8738 by my name 8034, wherein ye trust 982 8802, and unto the place 4725 which I gave 5414 8804 to you and to your fathers 1, as I have done 6213 8804 to Shiloh 7887.

7:15 And I will cast you out 7993 8689 of my sight 6440, as I have cast out 7993 8689 all your brethren 251, [even] the whole seed 2233 of Ephraim 669.

7:16 Therefore pray 6419 8691 not thou for this people 5971, neither lift up 5375 8799 cry 7440 nor prayer 8605 for them 1157, neither make intercession 6293 8799 to me: for I will not hear 8085 8802 thee.

7:17 Seest 7200 8802 thou not what they do 6213 8802 in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389?

7:18 The children 1121 gather 3950 8764 wood 6086, and the fathers 1 kindle 1197 8764 the fire 784, and the women 802 knead 3888 8802 [their] dough 1217, to make 6213 8800 cakes 3561 to the queen 4446 of heaven 8064, and to pour out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto other 312 gods 430, that they may provoke me to anger 3707 8687.(queen…: or, frame, or, workmanship of heaven)

7:19 Do they provoke me to anger 3707 8688? saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion 1322 of their own faces 6440?

7:20 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, mine anger 639 and my fury 2534 shall be poured out 5413 8737 upon this place 4725, upon man 120, and upon beast 929, and upon the trees 6086 of the field 7704, and upon the fruit 6529 of the ground 127; and it shall burn 1197 8804, and shall not be quenched 3518 8799.

7:21 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Put 5595 8798 your burnt offerings 5930 unto your sacrifices 2077, and eat 398 8798 flesh 1320.

7:22 For I spake 1696 8765 not unto your fathers 1, nor commanded 6680 8765 them in the day 3117 that I brought them out 3318 8687 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, concerning 1697 burnt offerings 5930 or sacrifices 2077:(concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of)

7:23 But this thing 1697 commanded 6680 8765 I them, saying 559 8800, Obey 8085 8798 my voice 6963, and I will be your God 430, and ye shall be my people 5971: and walk 1980 8804 ye in all the ways 1870 that I have commanded 6680 8762 you, that it may be well 3190 8799 unto you.

7:24 But they hearkened 8085 8804 not, nor inclined 5186 8689 their ear 241, but walked 3212 8799 in the counsels 4156 [and] in the imagination 8307 of their evil 7451 heart 3820, and went backward 268, and not forward 6440.(imagination: or, stubbornness)(went: Heb. were)

7:25 Since the day 3117 that your fathers 1 came forth out 3318 8804 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 unto this day 3117 I have even sent 7971 8799 unto you all my servants 5650 the prophets 5030, daily 3117 rising up early 7925 8687 and sending 7971 8800 [them]:

7:26 Yet they hearkened 8085 8804 not unto me, nor inclined 5186 8689 their ear 241, but hardened 7185 8686 their neck 6203: they did worse 7489 8689 than their fathers 1.

7:27 Therefore thou shalt speak 1696 8765 all these words 1697 unto them; but they will not hearken 8085 8799 to thee: thou shalt also call 7121 8804 unto them; but they will not answer 6030 8799 thee.

7:28 But thou shalt say 559 8804 unto them, This [is] a nation 1471 that obeyeth 8085 8804 not the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 their God 430, nor receiveth 3947 8804 correction 4148: truth 530 is perished 6 8804, and is cut off 3772 8738 from their mouth 6310.(correction: or, instruction)

7:29 Cut off 1494 8798 thine hair 5145, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away 7993 8685, and take up 5375 8798 a lamentation 7015 on high places 8205; for the LORD 3068 hath rejected 3988 8804 and forsaken 5203 8799 the generation 1755 of his wrath 5678.

7:30 For the children 1121 of Judah 3063 have done 6213 8804 evil 7451 in my sight 5869, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: they have set 7760 8804 their abominations 8251 in the house 1004 which is called 7121 8738 by my name 8034, to pollute 2930 8763 it.

7:31 And they have built 1129 8804 the high places 1116 of Tophet 8612, which [is] in the valley 1516 of the son 1121 of Hinnom 2011, to burn 8313 8800 their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323 in the fire 784; which I commanded 6680 8765 [them] not, neither came 5927 8804 it into my heart 3820.(came…: Heb. came it upon my heart)

7:32 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that it shall no more be called 559 8735 Tophet 8612, nor the valley 1516 of the son 1121 of Hinnom 2011, but the valley 1516 of slaughter 2028: for they shall bury 6912 8804 in Tophet 8612, till there be no 369 place 4725.

7:33 And the carcases 5038 of this people 5971 shall be meat 3978 for the fowls 5775 of the heaven 8064, and for the beasts 929 of the earth 776; and none shall fray [them] away 2729 8688.

7:34 Then will I cause to cease 7673 8689 from the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, and from the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389, the voice 6963 of mirth 8342, and the voice 6963 of gladness 8057, the voice 6963 of the bridegroom 2860, and the voice 6963 of the bride 3618: for the land 776 shall be desolate 2723.
