| Jeremiah 6 Text (WEB)
|
- "Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
- The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
- Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed everyone in his place."
- "Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
- Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
- For Yahweh of Armies said, "Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
- As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
- Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited."
- Thus says Yahweh of Armies, "They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets."
- To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen. Behold, the word of Yahweh has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
- Therefore I am full of the wrath of Yahweh. I am weary with holding in. "Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
- Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh."
- "For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
- They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, 'Peace, peace!' when there is no peace.
- Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them, they shall be cast down," says Yahweh.
- Thus says Yahweh, "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, 'Where is the good way?' and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
- I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen!'
- Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
- Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
- To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me."
- Therefore thus says Yahweh, "Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend shall perish."
- Thus says Yahweh, "Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
- They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion."
- We have heard its report; our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
- Don't go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, [and] terror, are on every side.
- Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us.
- "I have made you a tester of metals [and] a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way.
- They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
- The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
- Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them."

- העזו בני בנימן מקרב ירושלם ובתקוע תקעו שופר ועל־בית הכרם שאו משאת כי רעה נשקפה מצפון ושבר גדול׃
- הנוה והמענגה דמיתי בת־ציון׃
- אליה יבאו רעים ועדריהם תקעו עליה אהלים סביב רעו איש את־ידו׃
- קדשו עליה מלחמה קומו ונעלה בצהרים אוי לנו כי־פנה היום כי ינטו צללי־ערב׃
- קומו ונעלה בלילה ונשחיתה ארמנותיה׃ ס
- כי כה אמר יהוה צבאות כרתו עצה ושפכו על־ירושלם סללה היא העיר הפקד כלה עשק בקרבה׃
- כהקיר מימיה כן הקרה רעתה חמס ושד ישמע בה על־פני תמיד חלי ומכה׃
- הוסרי ירושלם פן־תקע נפשי ממך פן־אשימך שממה ארץ לוא נושבה׃ ף
- כה אמר יהוה צבאות עולל יעוללו כגפן שארית ישראל השב ידך כבוצר על־סלסלות׃
- על־מי אדברה ואעידה וישמעו הנה ערלה אזנם ולא יוכלו להקשיב הנה דבר־יהוה היה להם לחרפה לא יחפצו־בו׃
- ואת חמת יהוה מלאתי נלאיתי הכיל שפך על־עולל בחוץ ועל סוד בחורים יחדו כי־גם־איש עם־אשה ילכדו זקן עם־מלא ימים׃
- ונסבו בתיהם לאחרים שדות ונשים יחדו כי־אטה את־ידי על־ישבי הארץ נאם־יהוה׃
- כי מקטנם ועד־גדולם כלו בוצע בצע ומנביא ועד־כהן כלו עשה שקר׃
- וירפאו את־שבר עמי על־נקלה לאמר שלום שלום ואין שלום׃
- הבישו כי תועבה עשו גם־בוש לא־יבושו גם־הכלים לא ידעו לכן יפלו בנפלים בעת־פקדתים יכשלו אמר יהוה׃ ס
- כה אמר יהוה עמדו על־דרכים וראו ושאלו לנתבות עולם אי־זה דרך הטוב ולכו־בה ומצאו מרגוע לנפשכם ויאמרו לא נלך׃
- והקמתי עליכם צפים הקשיבו לקול שופר ויאמרו לא נקשיב׃
- לכן שמעו הגוים ודעי עדה את־אשר־בם׃
- שמעי הארץ הנה אנכי מביא רעה אל־העם הזה פרי מחשבותם כי על־דברי לא הקשיבו ותורתי וימאסו־בה׃
- למה־זה לי לבונה משבא תבוא וקנה הטוב מארץ מרחק עלותיכם לא לרצון וזבחיכם לא־ערבו לי׃ ס
- לכן כה אמר יהוה הנני נתן אל־העם הזה מכשלים וכשלו בם אבות ובנים יחדו שכן ורעו ׃ ף
- כה אמר יהוה הנה עם בא מארץ צפון וגוי גדול יעור מירכתי־ארץ׃
- קשת וכידון יחזיקו אכזרי הוא ולא ירחמו קולם כים יהמה ועל־סוסים ירכבו ערוך כאיש למלחמה עליך בת־ציון׃
- שמענו את־שמעו רפו ידינו צרה החזיקתנו חיל כיולדה׃
- אל־ השדה ובדרך אל־ כי חרב לאיב מגור מסביב׃
- בת־עמי חגרי־שק והתפלשי באפר אבל יחיד עשי לך מספד תמרורים כי פתאם יבא השדד עלינו׃
- בחון נתתיך בעמי מבצר ותדע ובחנת את־דרכם׃
- כלם סרי סוררים הלכי רכיל נחשת וברזל כלם משחיתים המה׃
- נחר מפח עפרת לשוא צרף צרוף ורעים לא נתקו׃
- כסף נמאס קראו להם כי־מאס יהוה בהם׃ ף

| Jeremiah 6 Text (Latin)
|
- Confortamini, filii Benjamin, in medio Jerusalem : et in Thecua clangite buccina, et super Bethacarem levate vexillum, quia malum visum est ab aquilone, et contritio magna.
- Speciosæ et delicatæ assimilavi filiam Sion.
- Ad eam venient pastores et greges eorum, fixerunt in ea tentoria in circuitu, pascet unusquisque eos qui sub manu sua sunt.
- Sanctificate super eam bellum : consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie : væ nobis, quia declinavit dies, quia longiores factæ sunt umbræ vesperi !
- Surgite, et ascendamus in nocte, et dissipemus domus ejus.
- Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Cædite lignum ejus, et fundite circa Jerusalem aggerem. Hæc est civitas visitationis, omnis calumnia in medio ejus.
- Sicut frigidam fecit cisterna aquam suam, sic frigidum fecit malitiam suam. Iniquitas et vastitas audietur in ea, coram me semper infirmitas et plaga.
- Erudire, Jerusalem, ne forte recedat anima mea a te ; ne forte ponam te desertam, terram inhabitabilem.
- Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Usque ad racemum colligent quasi in vinea reliquias Israël. Converte manum tuam quasi vindemiator ad cartallum.
- Cui loquar, et quem contestabor ut audiat ? Ecce incircumcisæ aures eorum, et audire non possunt : ecce verbum Domini factum est eis in opprobrium, et non suscipient illud.
- Idcirco furore Domini plenus sum, laboravi sustinens. Effunde super parvulum foris, et super consilium juvenum simul : vir enim cum muliere capietur, senex cum pleno dierum.
- Et transibunt domus eorum ad alteros, agri et uxores pariter, quia extendam manum meam super habitantes terram, dicit Dominus :
- a minore quippe usque ad majorem, omnes avaritiæ student, et a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt dolum.
- Et curabunt contritionem filiæ populi mei cum ignominia, dicentes : Pax, pax ! et non erat pax.
- Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt : quin potius confusione non sunt confusi, et erubescere nescierunt. Quam ob rem cadent inter ruentes : in tempore visitationis suæ corruent, dicit Dominus.
- Hæc dicit Dominus : State super vias, et videte, et interrogate de semitis antiquis quæ sit via bona, et ambulate in ea : et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris. Et dixerunt : Non ambulabimus.
- Et constitui super vos speculatores : audite vocem tubæ. Et dixerunt : Non audiemus.
- Ideo audite, gentes, et cognosce, congregatio, quanta ego faciam eis.
- Audi, terra : ecce ego adducam mala super populum istum, fructum cogitationum ejus, quia verba mea non audierunt, et legem meam projecerunt.
- Ut quid mihi thus de Saba affertis, et calamum suave olentem de terra longinqua ? Holocautomata vestra non sunt accepta, et victimæ vestræ non placuerunt mihi.
- Propterea hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego dabo in populum istum ruinas : et ruent in eis patres et filii simul, vicinus et proximus peribunt.
- Hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce populus venit de terra aquilonis, et gens magna consurget a finibus terræ.
- Sagittam et scutum arripiet : crudelis est et non miserebitur : vox ejus quasi mare sonabit : et super equos ascendent, præparati quasi vir ad prælium adversum te, filia Sion.
- Audivimus famam ejus, dissolutæ sunt manus nostræ : tribulatio apprehendit nos, dolores ut parturientem.
- Nolite exire ad agros, et in via ne ambuletis, quoniam gladius inimici, pavor in circuitu.
- Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio, et conspergere cinere : luctum unigeniti fac tibi, planctum amarum, quia repente veniet vastator super nos.
- Probatorem dedi te in populo meo robustum : et scies, et probabis viam eorum.
- Omnes isti principes declinantes, ambulantes fraudulenter, æs et ferrum : universi corrupta sunt.
- Defecit sufflatorium, in igne consumptum est plumbum : frustra conflavit conflator, malitiæ enim eorum non sunt consumptæ.
- Argentum reprobum vocate eos, quia Dominus projecit illos.

| Jeremiah 6 Text (KJV)
|
- O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
- I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
- The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
- Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
- Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
- For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
- As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
- Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
- To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
- Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
- And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
- For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
- They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
- Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
- Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
- Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
- Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
- Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
- To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
- Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
- Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
- They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
- We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
- Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
- O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
- I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
- They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
- The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
- Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
