If one wanted to take him to court,

he could not answer God[fn] once in a thousand times.

Do you really take notice of one like this?

Will you bring me into judgment against you?[fn]

Does he correct you and take you to court

because of your piety?

I cannot be silent about his limbs,

his power, and his graceful proportions.

“Something awful has overwhelmed him,[fn]

and he won't rise again from where he lies! ”

My heart is moved by a noble theme

as I recite my verses to the king;

my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

In God, whose word I praise,

in the LORD, whose word I praise,

For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,

let them be caught in their pride.

They utter curses and lies.

They adopt[fn] an evil plan;

they talk about hiding traps and say,

“Who will see them? ”[fn]

Bless the LORD,

all his angels of great strength,

who do his word,

obedient to his command.

Until the time his prediction came true,

the word of the LORD tested him.

He sent his word and healed them;

he rescued them from their traps.

My life is down in the dust;

give me life through your word.

Then I can answer the one who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

Remember your word to your servant;

you have given me hope through it.

LORD, you have treated your servant well,

just as you promised.

I long for your salvation;

I put my hope in your word.

I am severely afflicted;

LORD, give me life according to your word.

You are my shelter and my shield;

I put my hope in your word.

Champion my cause and redeem me;

give me life as you promised.

I wait for the LORD; I wait

and put my hope in his word.

He sends his word and melts them;

he unleashes his winds,[fn] and the water flows.

lightning[fn] and hail, snow and cloud,

stormy wind that executes his command,

for understanding a proverb or a parable,[fn]

the words of the wise, and their riddles.

“If you respond to my warning,[fn]

then I will pour out my spirit on you

and teach you my words.

The righteous hate lying,

but the wicked bring disgust and shame.

The one who gives an answer before he listens —

this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

Listen closely,[fn] pay attention to the words of the wise,

and apply your mind to my knowledge.

in order to teach you true and reliable words,

so that you may give a dependable report[fn]

to those who sent you?

for destruction will come suddenly from them;

who knows what distress these two can bring?

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter

and the glory of kings to investigate a matter.

A word spoken at the right time

is like gold apples in silver settings.

The one who sends a message by a fool's hand

cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

If a ruler listens to lies,

all his officials will be wicked.

Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.

Give me neither poverty nor wealth;

feed me with the food I need.

Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

and do not curse a rich person even in your bedroom,

and a winged creature may report the matter.

you rulers of Sodom!

Listen to the instruction of our God,

you people of Gomorrah!

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.[fn]

Israel, even if your people were as numerous

as the sand of the sea,

only a remnant of them will return.

Destruction has been decreed;

who rule this people in Jerusalem.

he awakens my ear to listen like those being instructed.

“If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath,

from doing whatever you want on my holy day;

if you call the Sabbath a delight,

and the holy day of the LORD honorable;

seeking your own pleasure, or talking business;[fn][fn]

You who tremble at his word,

hear the word of the LORD:

“Your brothers who hate and exclude you

for my name's sake have said,

‘Let the LORD be glorified

so that we can see your joy! '

But they will be put to shame.”

Hear the word of the LORD, house of Jacob

and all families of the house of Israel.

Evil generation,

pay attention to the word of the LORD!

Have I been a wilderness to Israel

or a land of dense darkness?

Why do my people claim,

“We will go where we want;[fn]

we will no longer come to you”?

“Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and there call out this word: ‘Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.

“When you speak all these things to them, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer you.

“The wise will be put to shame;

they will be dismayed and snared.

They have rejected the word of the LORD,

so what wisdom do they really have?

Now hear the word of the LORD, you women.

Pay attention to[fn] the words from his mouth.

Teach your daughters a lament

and one another a dirge,

Hear the word that the LORD has spoken to[fn] you, house of Israel.

So I bought underwear as the LORD instructed me and put it on.

You are to speak this word to them:

Let my eyes overflow with tears;

day and night may they not stop,

for my dearest people[fn]

have been destroyed by a crushing blow,

an extremely severe wound.

“Announce to them, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the residents of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.

Let a cry be heard from their houses

when you suddenly bring raiders against them,

for they have dug a pit to capture me

and have hidden snares for my feet.

This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and announce this word there.

“For if you conscientiously carry out this word, then kings sitting on David's throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses ​— ​they, their officers, and their people.

Earth, earth, earth,

hear the word of the LORD!

“They keep on saying to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has spoken: You will have peace.' They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart, ‘No harm will come to you.' ”

“The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has my word should speak my word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain? ” ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration.

“But if you say, ‘The burden of the LORD,' then this is what the LORD says: Because you have said, ‘The burden of the LORD,' and I specifically told you not to say, ‘The burden of the LORD,'

“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The LORD roars from on high;

he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling.

He roars loudly over his grazing land;

he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

The prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do that. May the LORD make the words you have prophesied come true and may he restore the articles of the LORD's temple and all the exiles from Babylon to this place!

and tell it among the far off coasts and islands!

Say, “The one who scattered Israel will gather him.

He will watch over him as a shepherd guards his flock,

This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore their fortunes,[fn] they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, righteous settlement, holy mountain.'

“ ‘Yet hear the LORD's word, King Zedekiah of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;

King Zedekiah sent for the prophet Jeremiah and received him at the third entrance of the LORD's temple. The king said to Jeremiah, “I am going to ask you something; don't hide anything from me.”

But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am worried about the Judeans who have defected to the Chaldeans. They may hand me over to the Judeans to abuse me.”

“that the LORD your God may tell us the way we should go and the thing we should do.”

And they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we don't act according to every word the LORD your God sends you to tell us.

“then hear the word of the LORD, remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are firmly resolved to go to Egypt and stay there for a while,

“Instead, we will do everything we promised:[fn] we will burn incense to the queen of heaven[fn] and offer drink offerings to her just as we, our ancestors, our kings, and our officials did in Judah's cities and in Jerusalem's streets. Then we had enough food, we were well off, and we saw no disaster,

Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.

“Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, all you Judeans who live in the land of Egypt: ‘I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name will never again be invoked by anyone of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord GOD lives.”

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.

“You are to say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

“But I, the LORD, will speak whatever message I will speak, and it will be done. It will no longer be delayed. For in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.' ”

“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination, ‘Hear the word of the LORD!

“They saw false visions and their divinations were a lie. They claimed, “This is the LORD's declaration,” when the LORD did not send them, yet they wait for the fulfillment of their message.

“ ‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!

“and say to the forest there, ‘Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite a fire in you, and it will devour every green tree and every dry tree in you. The blazing flame will not be extinguished, and every face from the south to the north will be scorched by it.

“Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD: This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you said, “Aha! ” about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile,

“As for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, give them a warning from me.

“ ‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the LORD.

“Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.

therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become plunder and a mockery to the rest of the nations all around.

He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

and over them three administrators, including Daniel. These satraps would be accountable to them so that the king would not be defrauded.

He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man treasured by God.[fn] Understand the words that I'm saying to you. Stand on your feet, for I have now been sent to you.” After he said this to me, I stood trembling.

Hear the word of the LORD, people of Israel,

for the LORD has a case

against the inhabitants of the land:

There is no truth, no faithful love,

and no knowledge of God in the land!

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;

he was exalted in Israel.

But he incurred guilt through Baal and died.

Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken against you, Israelites, against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt:

Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan

who are on the hill of Samaria,

women who oppress the poor

and crush the needy,

who say to their husbands,

“Bring us something to drink.”

Listen to this message that I am singing for you, a lament, house of Israel:

They hate the one who convicts the guilty

at the city gate,

and they despise the one who speaks with integrity.

Now hear the word of the LORD. You say:

Do not prophesy against Israel;

do not preach against the house of Isaac.

Look, the days are coming —

this is the declaration of the Lord GOD —

when I will send a famine through the land:

not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the LORD.

Now listen to what the LORD is saying:

Rise, plead your case before the mountains,

and let the hills hear your complaint.[fn]
