Jeremiah 15 📜 📕 ↷
Judgment to Continue
1 AND our Lord said to me: If Moyses & Samuel shall stand before me, my soul is not toward this people: cast them out from my face, and let them go forth.📜💬📚
2 And if they shall say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? Thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord: They that to death, to death, & they that to sword, to sword: & they that to famine, to famine: & they that to captivity, to captivity.📜💬📚
3 And I will visit upon them four kinds, saith our Lord: The sword to kill, and dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air, and beasts of the earth to devour and to destroy.📜💬📚
4 And I will give them into rage to all the kingdoms of the earth: because of Manasses the son of Ezechias the king of Juda, for all things that he did in Jerusalem.📜💬📚
5 For who shall have pity on thee Jerusalem? Or who shall be sorry for thee? Or who shall go to pray for thy peace?📜💬📚
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith our Lord, thou hast gone backward: and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, & will kill thee: I am weary in praying thee.📜💬📚
7 And I will scatter them with a fan in the gates of the land: I have slain and destroyed my people, and yet they are not returned from their ways.📜💬📚
8 Their widows are multiplied unto me above the sand of the sea: I have brought into them upon the mother of the young man a waster at noon day: I have cast terror suddenly upon the cities.📜💬📚
9 She is weakened that bare seven, her soul hath fainted: the sun went down to her, when it was yet day: she is confounded, and ashamed: and the residue of them I will give unto the sword in the sight of their enemies, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
Jeremiah's Woe
10 Woe is me, my mother: why hast thou born me a man of brawling, a man of discord in all the earth? I have not lent to usury, neither hath any man lent unto me to usury: all curse me.📜💬📚
11 Our Lord saith: if thy remnant shall not be to good, if I have not holpen thee in the time of affliction, and in the time of tribulation against the enemy.📜💬📚
12 Why, shall iron be confederate with the iron from the North, and also brass?📜💬📚
13 Thy riches & thy treasures I will give into spoil for naught for all thy sins, and in all thy borders.📜💬📚
14 And I will bring thine enemies out of a land, which thou knowest not: because a fire is kindled in my fury, it shall burn upon you.📜💬📚
15 Thou knowest o Lord, be mindful of me, and visit me, and defend me from them, that persecute me: do not receive me in thy patience, know that I have sustained reproach for thee.📜💬📚
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them, & thy word was made to me a joy & gladness of my heart: because thy name is invocated upon me, o Lord God of hosts.📜💬📚
17 I sat not in the councel of jesters, & I have gloried at the face of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast fillest me with threatening.📜💬📚
18 Why is my sorrow made perpetual, and my desperate plague refuseth to be cured? It is become unto me as a lie of unfaithful waters.📜💬📚
LORD's Promise
19 For this cause thus saith our Lord: If thou wilt be converted, I will convert thee, & thou shalt stand before my face: & if thou wilt separate the precious thing from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall be turned to thee, & thou shalt not be turned to them.📜💬📚
20 And I will give thee unto this people as a brazen wall, strong: and they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: because I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the most wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of strong.📜💬📚
