1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord , saying:
2Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[#Ex 19:5; Jer 11:6]
3And say you to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,[#Dt 27:26]
4which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey My voice, and do according to all which I command you. So you shall be My people, and I will be your God,[#Dt 4:20; #Lev 26:12]
5that I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.[#Dt 7:12–13; Ps 105:9–11]
Then I answered, “So be it, O Lord .”
6Then the Lord said to me: Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.[#Ro 2:13; Jas 1:22]
7For I earnestly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and warning, saying, Obey My voice.[#Ex 15:26; 1Sa 8:9]
8Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the imagination of their evil heart. Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they did not do.[#Jer 7:26; #Jer 7:24]
9The Lord said to me: A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[#Hos 6:9]
10They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear My words. And they have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.[#1Sa 15:11; #Dt 31:16]
11Therefore thus says the Lord , behold, I will bring calamity upon them which they will not be able to escape. And though they cry to Me, I will not listen to them.[#Pr 1:28; Isa 1:15]
12Then the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense. But they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.[#Dt 32:37; #Jer 2:28]
13For according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah. And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.[#Jer 2:28; #2Ki 23:13]
14Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them. For I will not hear them in the time that they cry to Me because of their trouble.[#Ex 32:10; #Jer 11:11]
15What right has My beloved in My house,
seeing that she has done many lewd deeds?
Can the sacrificial meat take away from you your disaster,
so that you can rejoice while doing evil?
16The Lord called your name,
“A green olive tree, fair in fruit and form.”
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire upon it,
and its branches are broken.
17For the Lord of Hosts, who planted you, has pronounced disaster against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.[#Isa 5:2; Jer 2:21]
18The Lord has made it known to me and I knew it; then You showed me their deeds.[#1Sa 23:11–12; 2Ki 6:9–10]
19But I was like a gentle lamb that is brought to the slaughter, and I did not know that they had devised plots against me, saying,[#Jer 18:18]
“Let us destroy the tree with the fruit,
and let us cut him off from the land of the living
so that his name may be remembered no more.”
20But, O Lord of Hosts, who judges righteously,
who tries the feelings and the heart,
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for to You I have revealed my cause.
21Therefore thus says the Lord of the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord so that you not die by our hand.”[#Jer 12:5–6; #Isa 30:10]
22Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts: Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.[#2Ch 36:17; #Jer 18:21]
23And there shall be no remnant of them, for I will bring calamity upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.[#Jer 23:12; Hos 9:7]
