Is there injustice on my tongue

or can my palate not taste disaster?

Isn't each person consigned to forced labor on earth?

Are not his days like those of a hired worker?

While still uncut shoots,

they would dry up quicker than any other plant.

The tents of robbers are safe,

and those who trouble God are secure;

God holds them in his hands.[fn]

Would God's majesty not terrify you?

Would his dread not fall on you?

Do you really take notice of one like this?

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

What do you know that we don't?

What do you understand that is not clear to us?

This is why my unsettling thoughts compel me to answer,

because I am upset![fn]

Can anyone teach God knowledge,

since he judges the exalted ones?[fn]

Can a man be of any use to God?

Can even a wise man be of use to him?

Isn't God as high as the heavens?

And look at the highest stars ​— ​how lofty they are!

Doesn't disaster come to the unjust

and misfortune to evildoers?

if I have eaten my few crumbs alone

without letting the fatherless eat any of it —

For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;

evil cannot dwell with you.

Will evildoers never understand?

They consume my people as they consume bread;

they do not call on the LORD.

There is no speech; there are no words;

their voice is not heard.

“Now, Lord, what do I wait for?

My hope is in you.

“Something awful has overwhelmed him,[fn]

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

wouldn't God have found this out,

since he knows the secrets of the heart?

Will evildoers never understand?

They consume my people as they consume bread;

they do not call on God.

God, haven't you rejected us?

God, you do not march out with our armies.

I am at rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

Yet he was compassionate;

he atoned for their iniquity

and did not destroy them.

He often turned his anger aside

and did not unleash[fn] all his wrath.

Can the one who shaped the ear not hear,

the one who formed the eye not see?

God, haven't you rejected us?

God, you do not march out with our armies.

LORD, don't I hate those who hate you,

and detest those who rebel against you?

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD — 

how much more, human hearts.

But the royal spokesman replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men who are sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine? ”

Who gave Jacob to the robber,[fn]

and Israel to the plunderers?

Was it not the LORD?

Have we not sinned against him?

They were not willing to walk in his ways,

and they would not listen to his instruction.

“Isn't this the fast I choose:

To break the chains of wickedness,

to untie the ropes of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free,

and to tear off every yoke?

Have you not brought this on yourself

by abandoning the LORD your God

while he was leading you along the way?

Look to the barren heights and see.

Where have you not been immoral?

You sat waiting for them beside the highways

like a nomad in the desert.

You have defiled the land

with your prostitution and wickedness.

“But are they really provoking me? ” This is the LORD's declaration. “Isn't it they themselves being provoked to disgrace? ”

I know, LORD,

that a person's way of life is not his own;

no one who walks determines his own steps.

Can any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?

Or can the skies alone give showers?

Are you not the LORD our God?

We therefore put our hope in you,

for you have done all these things.

The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Terror Is on Every Side,[fn]

“Am I a God who is only near” ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration ​— ​“and not a God who is far away?

“Is not my word like fire” ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration ​— ​“and like a hammer that pulverizes rock?

“Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did not the king fear the LORD and plead for the LORD's favor,[fn] and did not the LORD relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves! ”

Jeremiah replied to Zedekiah, “If I tell you, you will kill me, won't you? Besides, if I give you advice, you won't listen to me anyway.”

“As for the incense you burned in Judah's cities and in Jerusalem's streets ​— ​you, your ancestors, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land ​— ​did the LORD not remember them? He brought this to mind.

I know his outburst.

This is the LORD's declaration.

It is empty.

His boast is empty.

How can the city of praise not be abandoned,

the town that brings me joy?

“They are saying, ‘Isn't the time near to build houses?[fn] The city is the pot, and we are the meat.'

“You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Will it flourish? Will he not tear out its roots and strip off its fruit so that it shrivels? All its fresh leaves will wither! Great strength and many people will not be needed to pull it from its roots.

“But you say, ‘The Lord's way isn't fair.' Now listen, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair? Instead, isn't it your ways that are unfair?

“But the house of Israel says, ‘The Lord's way isn't fair.' Is it my ways that are unfair, house of Israel? Instead, isn't it your ways that are unfair?

Then I said, “Oh, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Isn't he just composing parables? ' ”

“As for you, son of man, know that on that day I will take from them their stronghold ​— ​their pride and joy, the delight of their eyes, and the longing of their hearts ​— ​as well as their sons and daughters.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in alarm. He said to his advisers, “Didn't we throw three men, bound, into the fire? ”

“Yes, of course, Your Majesty,” they replied to the king.

Won't the day of the LORD

be darkness rather than light,

even gloom without any brightness in it?

All this will happen because of Jacob's rebellion

and the sins of the house of Israel.

What is the rebellion of Jacob?

Isn't it Samaria?

And what is the high place of Judah?

Isn't it Jerusalem?

Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe,

her priests teach for payment,

and her prophets practice divination for silver.

Yet they lean on the LORD, saying,

“Isn't the LORD among us?

No disaster will overtake us.”

Are you not from eternity, LORD my God?

My Holy One, you[fn] will not die.

LORD, you appointed them to execute judgment;

my Rock, you destined them to punish us.

Won't all of these take up a taunt against him,

with mockery and riddles about him?

They will say,

“Woe to him who amasses what is not his —

how much longer? —

and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.”

Don't all of us have one Father? Didn't one God create us? Why then do we act treacherously against one another, profaning the covenant of our ancestors?
