KJV_Strong : Jeremiah 16
1. The word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] also unto[H413] me, saying,[H559]
2. Thou shalt not[H3808] take[H3947] thee a wife,[H802] neither[H3808] shalt thou have[H1961] sons[H1121] or daughters[H1323] in this[H2088] place.[H4725]
3. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] concerning[H5921] the sons[H1121] and concerning[H5921] the daughters[H1323] that are born[H3209] in this[H2088] place,[H4725] and concerning[H5921] their mothers[H517] that bore[H3205] them, and concerning[H5921] their fathers[H1] that begot[H3205] them in this[H2088] land;[H776]
4. They shall die[H4191] of grievous[H8463] deaths;[H4463] they shall not[H3808] be lamented;[H5594] neither[H3808] shall they be buried;[H6912] but they shall be as dung[H1828] upon[H5921] the face[H6440] of the earth:[H127] and they shall be[H1961] consumed[H3615] by the sword,[H2719] and by famine;[H7458] and their carcasses[H5038] shall be meat[H3978] for the fowls[H5775] of heaven,[H8064] and for the beasts[H929] of the earth.[H776]
5. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Enter[H935] not[H408] into the house[H1004] of mourning,[H4798] neither[H408] go[H1980] to lament[H5594] nor[H408] bemoan[H5110] them: for[H3588] I have taken away[H622] [H853] my peace[H7965] from[H4480] [H854] this[H2088] people,[H5971] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] even[H853] lovingkindness[H2617] and mercies.[H7356]
6. Both the great[H1419] and the small[H6996] shall die[H4191] in this[H2063] land:[H776] they shall not[H3808] be buried,[H6912] neither[H3808] shall men lament[H5594] for them: nor[H3808] cut themselves,[H1413] nor[H3808] make themselves bald[H7139] for them:
7. Neither[H3808] shall men tear[H6536] themselves for them in[H5921] mourning,[H60] to comfort[H5162] them for[H5921] the dead;[H4191] neither[H3808] shall men give them the cup[H3563] of consolation[H8575] to drink[H8248] for[H5921] their father[H1] or for[H5921] their mother.[H517]
8. Thou shalt not[H3808] also go[H935] into the house[H1004] of feasting,[H4960] to sit[H3427] with[H854] them to eat[H398] and to drink.[H8354]
9. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel;[H3478] Behold,[H2009] I will cause to cease[H7673] out of[H4480] this[H2088] place[H4725] in your eyes,[H5869] and in your days,[H3117] the voice[H6963] of mirth,[H8342] and the voice[H6963] of gladness,[H8057] the voice[H6963] of the bridegroom,[H2860] and the voice[H6963] of the bride.[H3618]
10. And it shall come to pass,[H1961] when[H3588] thou shalt show[H5046] this[H2088] people[H5971] [H853] all[H3605] these[H428] words,[H1697] and they shall say[H559] unto[H413] thee, Wherefore[H5921] [H4100] hath the LORD[H3068] pronounced[H1696] [H853] all[H3605] this[H2063] great[H1419] evil[H7451] against[H5921] us? or what[H4100] is our iniquity?[H5771] or what[H4100] is our sin[H2403] that[H834] we have committed[H2398] against the LORD[H3068] our God?[H430]
11. Then shalt thou say[H559] unto[H413] them, Because[H5921] [H834] your fathers[H1] have forsaken[H5800] me, saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] and have walked[H1980] after[H310] other[H312] gods,[H430] and have served[H5647] them, and have worshiped[H7812] them, and have forsaken[H5800] me, and have not[H3808] kept[H8104] my law;[H8451]
12. And ye[H859] have done[H6213] worse[H7489] than your fathers;[H4480] [H1] for, behold,[H2009] ye walk[H1980] every one[H376] after[H310] the imagination[H8307] of his evil[H7451] heart,[H3820] that they may not[H1115] hearken[H8085] unto[H413] me:
13. Therefore will I cast[H2904] you out of[H4480] [H5921] this[H2063] land[H776] into[H5921] a land[H776] that[H834] ye know[H3045] not,[H3808] neither ye[H859] nor your fathers;[H1] and there[H8033] shall ye serve[H5647] [H853] other[H312] gods[H430] day[H3119] and night;[H3915] where[H834] I will not[H3808] show[H5414] you favor.[H2594]
14. Therefore,[H3651] behold,[H2009] the days[H3117] come,[H935] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] that it shall no[H3808] more[H5750] be said,[H559] The LORD[H3068] liveth,[H2416] that[H834] brought up[H5927] [H853] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Egypt;[H4714]
15. But,[H3588] [H518] The LORD[H3068] liveth,[H2416] that[H834] brought up[H5927] [H853] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] from the land[H4480] [H776] of the north,[H6828] and from all[H4480] [H3605] the lands[H776] whither[H834] [H8033] he had driven[H5080] them: and I will bring them again[H7725] into[H5921] their land[H127] that[H834] I gave[H5414] unto their fathers.[H1]
16. Behold,[H2009] I will send[H7971] for many[H7227] fishers,[H1771] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] and they shall fish[H1770] them; and after[H310] [H3651] will I send[H7971] for many[H7227] hunters,[H6719] and they shall hunt[H6679] them from[H4480] [H5921] every[H3605] mountain,[H2022] and from[H4480] [H5921] every[H3605] hill,[H1389] and out of the holes[H4480] [H5357] of the rocks.[H5553]
17. For[H3588] mine eyes[H5869] are upon[H5921] all[H3605] their ways:[H1870] they are not[H3808] hid[H5641] from my face,[H4480] [H6440] neither[H3808] is their iniquity[H5771] hid[H6845] from[H4480] [H5048] mine eyes.[H5869]
18. And first[H7223] I will recompense[H7999] their iniquity[H5771] and their sin[H2403] double;[H4932] because[H5921] they have defiled[H2490] [H853] my land,[H776] they have filled[H4390] [H853] mine inheritance[H5159] with the carcasses[H5038] of their detestable[H8251] and abominable things.[H8441]
