Jeremiah, Chapter 6

1 “Flee for safety, O sons of Benjamin,
From the midst of Jerusalem!
Now blow a trumpet in Tekoa
And raise a signal overa I.e. house of the vineyardBeth-haccerem;
For evil looks down from the north,
And a great destruction.
 2 “The comely and dainty one, the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.
 3 “Shepherds and their flocks will come to her,
They will pitch their tentsb Lit against her round aboutaround her,
They will pasture each in hisc Lit handplace.
 4 “d Lit SanctifyPrepare war against her;
Arise, and let use Lit go upattack at noon.
Woe to us, for the day declines,
For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
 5 “Arise, and let usf Lit go upattack by night
And destroy herg Or fortified towerspalaces!”
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts,
“Cut down her trees
And cast up a siege against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only oppression.
 7 “As a wellh Lit keeps coldkeeps its waters fresh,
So shei Lit keeps coldkeeps fresh her wickedness.
Violence and destruction are heard in her;
Sickness and wounds are ever before Me.
 8 “Be warned, O Jerusalem,
Orj Lit my soulI shall be alienated from you,
And make you a desolation,
A land not inhabited.”
 9 Thus says the LORD of hosts,
“They will thoroughly glean as the vine the remnant of Israel;
Pass your hand again like a grape gatherer
Over the branches.”
 10 To whom shall I speak and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold, their ears arek Lit uncircumcisedclosed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, the word of the LORD has become a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.
 11 But I am full of the wrath of the LORD;
I am weary with holding it in.
“Pour it out on the children in the street
And on thel Lit councilgathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The agedm Lit with fullness of daysand the very old.
 12 “Their houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the LORD.
 13 “For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is greedy for gain,
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyonen Or makes liesdeals falsely.
 14 “They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
 15 “Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done?
They were not even ashamed at all;
They did not even know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the LORD.
 16 Thus says the LORD,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
 17 “And I set watchmen over you, saying,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
 18 “Therefore hear, O nations,
And know, O congregation, what is among them.
 19 “Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people,
The fruit of theiro Or devicesplans,
Because they have not listened to My words,
And as for My law, they have rejected it also.
 20 “For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba
And thep Lit goodsweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable
And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me.”
21 Therefore, thus says the LORD,
“Behold, I amq Lit givinglaying stumbling blocks before this people.
And they will stumble against them,
Fathers and sons together;
Neighbor andr Lit his friendfriend will perish.”
 22 Thus says the LORD,
“Behold, a people is coming from the north land,
And a great nation will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.
 23 “They seize bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Arrayed as a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Zion!”
 24 We have heard the report of it;
Our hands are limp.
Anguish has seized us,
Pain as of a woman in childbirth.
 25 Do not go out into the field
And do not walk on the road,
For the enemy has a sword,
Terror is on every side.
 26 O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
And roll in ashes;
s Lit Make for yourself mourningMourn as for an only son,
A lamentation most bitter.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come upon us.
 27 “I have made you an assayer and a tester among My people,
That you may know and assay their way.”
 28 All of them are stubbornly rebellious,
Going about as a talebearer.
They are bronze and iron;
They, all of them, are corrupt.
 29 The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the wicked are nott Or drawn offseparated.
 30 They call them rejected silver,
Because the LORD has rejected them.
