18:1 ¶
The word°
which°
came°
to°
Jeremiah°
from°°
Yahweh,°
saying,°° |
|
18:2
Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there thou shalt hear my words. |
|
18:2
Arise,°°
and go down°°
to the potter's°°
house,°
and there°
I will cause thee to hear°°°
my words.° |
|
18:3
So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel on the stones. |
|
18:3
Then I went down°°
to the potter's°°
house,°
and, behold,°
he wrought°°
a work°
on°
the wheels.° |
|
18:4
And the vessel which he was making with his hands fell: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to him to make [it]. |
|
18:4
And the vessel°
that°
he°
made°°
of clay°
was marred°°
in the hand°
of the potter:°°
so he made°°
it again°°
another°
vessel,°
as°
seemed°
good°°
to the potter°°
to make°°
[it]. |
|
18:5
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, |
|
18:5
Then the word°
of Yahweh°
came°
to°
me, saying,°° |
|
18:6
Shall I not be able, O house of Israel, to do to you as this potter? behold, as the clay of the potter are ye in my hands. |
|
18:6
O house°
of Israel,°
cannot°°°
I do°°
with you as this°
potter?°°
saith°°
Yahweh.°
Behold,°
as the clay°
[is] in the potter's°°
hand,°
so°
[are] ye°
in mine hand,°
O house°
of Israel.° |
|
18:7
[If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them]; |
|
18:7
[At what] instant°
I shall speak°°
concerning°
a nation,°
and concerning°
a kingdom,°
to pluck up,°°
and to pull down,°°
and to destroy°°
[it]; |
|
18:8
and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I repent of the evils which I purposed to do to them. |
|
18:8
If that°
nation,°
against°
whom°
I have pronounced,°°
turn°°
from their evil,°°
I will repent°°
of°
the evil°
that°
I thought°°
to do°°
unto them. |
|
18:9
And [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it]; |
|
18:9
And [at what] instant°
I shall speak°°
concerning°
a nation,°
and concerning°
a kingdom,°
to build°°
and to plant°°
[it]; |
|
18:10
and they do evil before me, so as not to hearken to my voice, then will I repent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them. |
|
18:10
If it do°°
evil°
in my sight,°
that it obey°°
not°
my voice,°
then I will repent°°
of°
the good,°
wherewith°
I said°°
I would benefit°°
them. |

18:11 ¶
And now say to the men of Judah{gr.Juda}, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Behold, I prepare evils against you, and devise a device against you: let every one turn now from his evil way, and amend your practices. |
|
18:11 ¶
Now°
therefore go°
to, speak°°
to°
the men°
of Judah,°
and to°
the inhabitants°°
of Jerusalem,°
saying,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
I°
frame°°
evil°
against°
you, and devise°°
a device°
against°
you: return°°
ye now°
every one°
from his evil°
way,°°
and make your ways°
and your doings°
good.°° |
|
18:12
And they said, We will quit ourselves like men, for we will pursue our perverse ways, and we will perform each the lusts of his evil heart. |
|
18:12
And they said,°°
There is no hope:°°
but°
we will walk°°°
after°
our own devices,°
and we will every one°
do°°
the imagination°
of his evil°
heart.° |
|
18:13
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Enquire now among the nations, who has heard such very horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done? |

thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Ask°°
ye now°
among the heathen,°
who°
hath heard°°
such°
things: the virgin°
of Israel°
hath done°°
a very°
horrible thing.° |
|
18:14
Will fertilising streams fail [to flow] from a rock, or snow [fail] from Lebanon{gr.Libanus}? will water violently impelled by the wind turn aside? |
|
18:14
Will [a man] leave°°
the snow°
of Lebanon°
[which cometh] from the rock°°
of the field?°
[or] shall the cold°
flowing°°
waters°
that come from another place°°
be forsaken?°° |
|
18:15
For my people have forgotten me, they have offered incense in vain, and they fail in their ways, [leaving] the ancient tracks, to enter upon impassable paths; |
|
18:15
Because°
my people°
hath forgotten°°
me, they have burned incense°°
to vanity,°
and they have caused them to stumble°°
in their ways°
[from] the ancient°
paths,°°
to walk°°°
in paths,°
[in] a way°
not°
cast up;°° |
|
18:16
to make their land a desolation, and a perpetual hissing; all that go through it shall be amazed, and shall shake their heads. |
|
18:16
To make°°
their land°
desolate,°
[and] a perpetual°
hissing;°°
every one°
that passeth°°
thereby°
shall be astonished,°°
and wag°°
his head.° |
|
18:17
I will scatter them before their enemies like an east wind; I will shew them the day of their destruction. |
|
18:17
I will scatter°°
them as with an east°
wind°
before°
the enemy;°°
I will shew°°
them the back,°
and not°
the face,°
in the day°
of their calamity.° |
|
18:18 ¶
Then they said, Come, and let us devise a device against Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and we will hear all his words. |
|
18:18 ¶
Then said°°
they, Come,°°°
and let us devise°°
devices°
against°
Jeremiah;°
for°
the law°
shall not°
perish°°
from the priest,°°
nor counsel°
from the wise,°°
nor the word°
from the prophet.°°
Come,°°°
and let us smite°°
him with the tongue,°
and let us not°
give heed°°
to°
any°
of his words.° |
|
18:19
Hear me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my pleading. |
|
18:19
Give heed°°
to°
me, O Yahweh,°
and hearken°°
to the voice°
of them that contend°
with me. |
|
18:20
Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me; remember that I stood before thy face, to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them. |
|
18:20
Shall evil°
be recompensed°°
for°
good?°
for°
they have digged°°
a pit°
for my soul.°
Remember°°
that I stood°°
before°
thee to speak°°
good°
for°
them, [and] to turn away°°°
thy wrath°
from°
them. |
|
18:21
Therefore do thou deliver their sons to famine, and gather them to the power of the sword: let their women be childless and widows; and let their men be cut off by death, and their young men fall by the sword in war. |
|
18:21
Therefore°
deliver up°°°
their children°
to the famine,°
and pour out°°
their [blood] by°
the force°
of the sword;°
and let their wives°
be°
bereaved°
of their children,°
and [be] widows;°
and let their men°°
be°
put°°
to death;°
[let] their young men°
[be] slain°°
by the sword°
in battle.° |
|
18:22
Let there be a cry in their houses: thou shalt bring upon them robbers suddenly: for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me. |
|
18:22
Let a cry°
be heard°°
from their houses,°°
when°
thou shalt bring°°
a troop°
suddenly°
upon°
them: for°
they have digged°°
a pit°°°
to take°°
me, and hid°°
snares°
for my feet.° |
|
18:23
And thou, Lord, knowest all their deadly counsel against me: account not their iniquities guiltless, and blot not out their sins from before thee: let their weakness come before thee; deal with them in the time of thy wrath. |
|
18:23
Yet, Yahweh,°
thou°
knowest°°°
all°
their counsel°
against°
me to slay°
[me]: forgive°°
not°
their iniquity,°
neither°
blot out°°
their sin°
from thy sight,°°
but let them be°
overthrown°°
before°
thee; deal°°
[thus] with them in the time°
of thine anger.° |
