Jer 11, 14:11, 14 | ESV | STEP | The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord :

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 ^a“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ^bCursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant 4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, ^cfrom the iron furnace, saying, ^dListen to my voice, and do all that I command you. ^eSo shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5 ^fthat I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, ^gto give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”

6 And the Lord said to me, ^h“Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ⁱHear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, ^jwarning them persistently, even to this day, saying, ^kObey my voice. 8 ^lYet they did not obey or incline their ear, ^mbut everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all ⁿthe words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”

9 Again the Lord said to me, ^o“A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to ^pthe iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. ^qThey have gone after other gods to serve them. ^rThe house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. ^sThough they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem ^twill go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, ^ubut they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 ^vFor your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, ^waltars to make offerings to Baal.

14 “Therefore ^xdo not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, ^yfor I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. 15 ^zWhat right has my beloved in my house, ^aawhen she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? ^abCan you then exult? 16 The Lord once called you ^ac‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But ^adwith the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and ^aeits branches will be consumed. 17 The Lord of hosts, ^afwho planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, ^agprovoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”

18 The Lord made it known to me and I knew;
then you showed me their deeds.
19 But I was ^ahlike a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
I did not know ^aiit was against me
they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
^ajlet us cut him off from ^akthe land of the living,
that his name be remembered no more.”
20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
who ^altests ^amthe heart and the mind,
^anlet me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of ^aoAnathoth, ^apwho seek your life, and say, ^aq“Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of ^arAnathoth, ^asthe year of their punishment.”

Jeremiah 14:11

11 The Lord said to me: ^at“Do not pray for the welfare of this people.

Jeremiah 14:14

14 And the Lord said to me: “The ^auprophets are prophesying lies in my name. ^avI did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, ^awworthless divination, and ^axthe deceit of their own minds.
