Jeremiah 6 1 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 . Copy 2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. Copy 3 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 . Copy 4 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 . Copy 5 Arise , and let us go by night , and let us destroy her palaces . Copy 6 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. Copy 7 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 . Copy 8 Be thou instructed , O Jerusalem , lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate , a land not inhabited . Copy 9 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 . Copy 10 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. Copy 11 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 . Copy 12 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 . Copy 13 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 . Copy 14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly , saying , Peace , peace ; when there is no peace . Copy 15 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 . Copy 16 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. Copy 17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet . But they said , We will not hearken . Copy 18 Therefore hear , ye nations , and know , O congregation , what is among them. Copy 19 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. Copy 20 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. Copy 21 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 . Copy 22 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 . Copy 23 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 . Copy 24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble : anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain , as of a woman in travail . Copy 25 Go not forth into the field , nor walk by the way ; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side . Copy 26 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. Copy 27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people , that thou mayest know and try their way . Copy 28 They are all grievous revolters , walking with slanders : they are brass and iron ; they are all corrupters . Copy 29 The bellows are burned , the lead is consumed of the fire ; the founder melteth in vain : for the wicked are not plucked away . Copy 30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Copy
