Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:7 - The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:11 - And now, speak, I pray thee, unto men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, Saying: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am framing against you evil, And devising against you a device, Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way And amen your ways and your doings.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:15 - But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways -- paths of old, To walk in paths -- a way not raised up,
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:16 - To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:17 - As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:18 - And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:19 - Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:20 - Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:21 - Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle,
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:22 - A cry is heard from their houses, For Thou bringest against them suddenly a troop, For they dug a pit to capture me, And snares they have hidden for my feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:23 - And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known, All their counsel against me is for death, Thou dost not cover over their iniquity, Nor their sin from before Thee blottest out, And they are made to stumble before Thee, In the time of Thine anger work against them!
