Jeremiah 17

CHAPTER 17 Judah's Sin and Punishment

1 Thus says the lord. The sin of Judah is being written with [²stylus ¹an iron] with clawed adamantine being carved upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of their shrines. 2 even in the remembering of their sons of their shrines and their sacred groves upon tree woods, upon the [²hills ¹high]. 3 O mountain in the plain, of your wealth and all of you treasures [²for plunder ¹I shall give]; your heights for sin in all your boundaries. 4 And you shall be forsaken from your inheritance which I gave to you. And [³to serve ²you ¹I will make] to your enemies in the land which you knew not. For [²fire ¹you kindled] in my wrath; unto the eon it shall blaze. 5 Thus says the lord, Cursed is the man who [²hope ¹has] upon man, and shall fix firmly the flesh of his arm, and [³from ⁴the lord ¹should separate ²his heart]. 6 And he will be as the tamarisk in the wilderness; he shall not see whenever [²come ¹good things]. But he shall encamp in salty lands, and in a wilderness in a land brackish which is not dwelt. 7 And being blessed is the man who relies upon the lord, and the lord will be his hope. 8 And he shall be as a tree prospering by waters; and upon a moist place he shall shoot his roots; and he will not be fearful whenever [²comes ¹sweltering heat]; and there will be for him tree trunks of the woods. In the year of drought he shall not be fearful, and he shall not stop producing fruit. 9 [³is deep ¹The ²heart] beyond all things, and man is, who shall know him? 10 I the lord am examining hearts, trying kidneys, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruits of their practices. 11 [²speaks out loud ¹The partridge], gathering together what she did not give birth. So the man having his riches but not with equity; in the first half of his days his riches will leave him, and at the last half of his days he will be a fool. 12 [²is a throne ³of glory ⁴being raised up high ⁵from ⁶the beginning ¹Our sanctuary]. 13 The waiting of Israel, O lord, all the ones forsaking you, let them be disgraced! Ones revolting, [²upon ³the ⁴ground ¹let them be written]! for they abandoned the spring of life -- the lord.

Sanctify the Day of the Sabbath

14 Heal me, O lord! and I shall be healed. Deliver me! and I shall be delivered. For [³my boasting ¹you ²are]. 15 Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the lord? Let it come! 16 But I tired not following closely after you; and the day of man I desired not. You have knowledge of the things having gone forth through my lips; [²before ³your face ¹it is]. 17 You should not be to me for alienation; but one sparing me in [²day ¹the evil]. 18 May [⁴be disgraced ¹the ones ²pursuing ³me], and may I not be disgraced myself. May they be terrified, but may I not be terrified myself. Bring upon them [²day ¹the wicked]! In double destruction destroy them! 19 Thus says the lord to me, Proceed and stand in the gates of the sons of the people! by which [³enter ¹kings ²of Judah], and by which they go forth by them, and in all the gates of Jerusalem. 20 And you shall say to them, Hear the word of the lord, O kings of Judah, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem! O ones entering by these gates. 21 Thus says the lord, Guard your souls, and do not lift burdens on the day of the Sabbaths! and you should not carry in through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 And do not bring forth burdens from out of your residences on the day of the Sabbaths! And [²any ³work ¹you shall not do]. Sanctify the day of the Sabbaths! as I gave charge to your fathers. 23 And they hearkened not, and leaned not their ear. And they hardened their neck over their fathers to not hear me, and to not take instruction. 24 And it will be, if you should hearken to me, says the lord, to not carry in burdens through the gates of this city in the day of the Sabbaths, and to sanctify the day of the Sabbaths to not do any work in it, 25 that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and rulers sitting upon the throne of David, and mounting upon [²chariots ³and ⁴horses ¹their], they and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the ones dwelling in Jerusalem. And [²shall be settled ¹this city] into the eon. 26 And they shall come from out of the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, and from out of the land of Benjamin, and from out of the plain, and from out of the mountain, and from out of the country to the south, bringing whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and incenses, and manna, and frankincense; bringing praise into the house of the lord. 27 And it will be if you should not hearken to me to sanctify the day of the Sabbaths, to lift no burdens, and to not enter through the gates of Jerusalem in the day of the Sabbaths; then I will kindle a fire in her gates; and it shall devour the plazas of Jerusalem, and it shall not be extinguished.
