ASV_Strong : Jeremiah 17
1. The sin[H2403] of Judah[H3063] is written[H3789] with a pen[H5842] of iron[H1270], and with the point[H6856] of a diamond[H8068]: it is graven[H2790] upon the tablet[H3871] of their heart[H3820], and upon the horns[H7161] of your altars[H4196];
2. whilst their children[H1121] remember[H2142] their altars[H4196] and their Asherim[H842] by the green[H7488] trees[H6086] upon the high[H1364] hills[H1389].
3. O my mountain[H2042] in the field[H7704], I will give[H5414] thy substance[H2428] and all thy treasures[H214] for a spoil[H957], and thy high places[H1116], because of sin[H2403], throughout all thy borders[H1366].
4. And thou[H8058], even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage[H5159] that I gave[H5414] thee[H5647]; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies[H341] in the land[H776] which thou knowest[H3045] not[H6919]: for ye have kindled a fire[H784] in mine anger[H639] which shall burn[H3344] for[H5704] ever[H5769].
5. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: Cursed[H779] is the man[H1397] that trusteth[H982] in man[H120], and maketh[H7760] flesh[H1320] his arm[H2220], and whose heart[H3820] departeth[H5493] from Jehovah[H3068].
6. For he shall be like the heath[H6199] in the desert[H6160], and shall not see[H7200] when good[H2896] cometh[H935], but shall inhabit[H7931] the parched places[H2788] in the wilderness[H4057], a salt[H4420] land[H776] and not inhabited[H3427].
7. Blessed[H1288] is the man[H1397] that trusteth[H982] in Jehovah[H3068], and whose trust[H4009] Jehovah is[H3068].
8. For he shall be as a tree[H6086] planted[H8362] by the waters[H4325], that spreadeth out[H7971] its roots[H8328] by the river[H3105], and shall not fear[H7200] when heat[H2527] cometh[H935], but its leaf[H5929] shall be green[H7488]; and shall not be careful[H1672] in the year[H8141] of drought[H1226], neither shall cease[H4185] from yielding[H6213] fruit[H6529].
9. The heart[H3820] is deceitful[H6121] above all things[H605], and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it[H3045]?
10. I[H3068], Jehovah, search[H2713] the mind[H3820], I try[H974] the heart[H3820], even to give[H5414] every man[H376] according to his ways[H1870], according to the fruit[H6529] of his doings[H4611].
11. As the partridge[H7124] that sitteth[H1716] on eggs which she hath not laid[H3205], so is he that getteth[H6213] riches[H6239], and not by right[H4941]; in the midst[H2677] of his days[H3117] they shall leave[H5800] him[H319], and at his end he shall be a fool[H5036].
12. A glorious[H3519] throne[H3678], set on high[H4791] from the beginning[H7223], is the place[H4725] of our sanctuary[H4720].
13. O Jehovah[H3068], the hope[H4723] of Israel[H3478], all that forsake[H5800] thee shall be put to shame[H954]. They that depart[H3249] from me[H5493] shall be written[H3789] in the earth[H776], because they have forsaken[H5800] Jehovah[H3068], the fountain[H4726] of living[H2416] waters[H4325].
14. Heal[H7495] me[H3068], O Jehovah, and I shall be healed[H7495]; save[H3467] me[H3467], and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise[H8416].
15. Behold[H559], they say unto me[H1697], Where is the word of Jehovah[H3068]? let it come now[H935].
16. As for me[H213], I have not hastened from being a shepherd[H7462] after[H310] thee[H183]; neither have I desired the woeful[H605] day[H3117]; thou knowest[H3045]: that which came out[H4161] of my lips[H8193] was before[H5227] thy face[H6440].
17. Be not a terror[H4288] unto me[H4268]: thou art my refuge in the day[H3117] of evil[H7451].
18. Let them be put to shame[H954] that persecute[H7291] me[H954], but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed[H2865], but let not me be dismayed[H2865]; bring[H935] upon them the day[H3117] of evil[H7451], and destroy[H7665] them with double[H4932] destruction[H7670].
19. Thus said[H559] Jehovah[H3068] unto me[H1980]: Go, and stand[H5975] in the gate[H8179] of the children[H1121] of the people[H5971], whereby the kings[H4428] of Judah[H3063] come in[H935], and by which they go out[H3318], and in all the gates[H8179] of Jerusalem[H3389];
20. and say[H559] unto them[H8085], Hear ye the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068], ye kings[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and all Judah[H3063], and all the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389], that enter in[H935] by these gates[H8179]:
21. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], Take heed[H8104] to yourselves[H5315], and bear[H5375] no burden[H4853] on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], nor bring[H935] it in by the gates[H8179] of Jerusalem[H3389];
22. neither carry forth[H3318] a burden[H4853] out of your houses[H1004] on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], neither do[H6213] ye any work[H4399]: but hallow[H6942] ye the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], as I commanded[H6680] your fathers[H1].
23. But they hearkened[H8085] not[H5186], neither inclined their ear[H241], but made their neck[H6203] stiff[H7185], that they might not hear[H8085], and might not receive[H3947] instruction[H4148].
24. And it shall come to pass[H8085], if ye diligently hearken[H8085] unto me[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068], to bring[H935] in no burden[H4853] through the gates[H8179] of this city[H5892] on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], but to hallow[H6942] the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], to do[H6213] no[H1115] work therein[H4399];
25. then shall there enter[H935] in by the gates[H8179] of this city[H5892] kings[H4428] and princes[H8269] sitting[H3427] upon the throne[H3678] of David[H1732], riding[H7392] in chariots[H7393] and on horses[H5483], they[H8269], and their princes, the men[H376] of Judah[H3063], and the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389]; and this city[H5892] shall remain[H3427] for ever[H5769].
26. And they shall come[H935] from the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063], and from the places round about[H5439] Jerusalem[H3389], and from the land[H776] of Benjamin[H1144], and from the lowland[H8219], and from the hill-country[H2022], and from the South[H5045], bringing[H935] burnt-offerings[H5930], and sacrifices[H2077], and meal-offerings[H4503], and frankincense[H3828], and bringing[H935] sacrifices of thanksgiving[H8426], unto the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068].
27. But if ye will not hearken[H8085] unto me to hallow[H6942] the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], and not to bear[H5375] a burden[H4853] and enter in[H935] at the gates[H8179] of Jerusalem[H3389] on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117]; then will I kindle[H3341] a fire[H784] in the gates[H8179] thereof[H398], and it shall devour the palaces[H759] of Jerusalem[H3389], and it shall not be quenched[H3518].
