¹The word that came to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] from the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , saying,

²Hear you2f the words of this Covenant, and speak unto the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] ;

³And say youi unto them, Thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ; Cursed [be] the man that obeys not the words of this covenant,

⁴Which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] , from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you2f be my people, and I will be your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] :

⁵That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

⁶Then the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and in the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] , saying, Hear you2f the words of this covenant, and do them.

⁷For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] , [even] unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

⁸Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked everyone 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 they did [them] not.

⁹And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and among the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] .

¹⁰They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

¹¹Therefore thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

¹²Then shall the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

¹³For [according to] the number of youri cities were youri gods, O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] ; and [according to] the number of the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] have you2f set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn incense unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)] .

¹⁴Therefore pray not youi for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

¹⁵What has my beloved to do in my house, [seeing] she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from youi ? when youi do evil, then youi rejoice.

¹⁶The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) called youi name, A green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

¹⁷For the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] , that planted youi , has pronounced evil against youi , for the evil of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and of the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)] .

¹⁸And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me knowledge [of it] , and I know [it] : then youi showed me their doings.

¹⁹But I [was] like a lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying] , Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

²⁰But, O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] , that judge righteously, that try the reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) and the heart, let me see youri vengeance on them: for unto youi have I revealed my cause.

²¹Therefore thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) of the men of ‘Anatot [answers to prayer] , that seek youri life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , that youi die not by our hand:

²²Therefore thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] , Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

²³And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of ‘Anatot [answers to prayer] , [even] the year of their visitation.
