Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

Jeremiah 2

1 God, having shewed his former kindness, expostulateth with the Jews their causeless revolt, 9 beyond any example. 14 They are the causes of their own calamities. 20 The sins of Judah. 31 Her confidence is rejected.

 2:1 ¶ Moreover the word 1697 of Yahweh 3068 came x1961 to x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 2:2 Go 1980 z8800 and cry 7121 z8804 in the ears 241 of Jerusalem, 3389 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh; 3068 I remember 2142 z8804 thee, the kindness 2617 of thy youth, 5271 the love 160 of thine espousals, 3623 when thou wentest y3212 z8800 x1980 after 310 me in the wilderness, 4057 in a land 776 [that was] not x3808 sown. 2232 z8803

 2:3 Israel 3478 [was] holiness 6944 unto Yahweh, 3068 [and] the firstfruits 7225 of his increase: 8393 all x3605 that devour 398 z8802 him shall offend; 816 z8799 evil 7451 shall come 935 z8799 upon x413 them, saith 5002 z8803 Yahweh. 3068

 2:4 Hear 8085 z8798 ye the word 1697 of Yahweh, 3068 O house 1004 of Jacob, 3290 and all x3605 the families 4940 of the house 1004 of Israel: 3478

 2:5 ¶ Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 What x4100 iniquity 5766 have your fathers 1 found 4672 z8804 in me, that x3588 they are gone far 7368 z8804 from x4480 x5921 me, and have walked y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 vanity, 1892 and are become vain? 1891 z8799

 2:6 Neither x3808 said 559 z8804 they, Where x346 [is] Yahweh 3068 that brought us up 5927 z8688 x853 out of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 that led y3212 z8688 x1980 us through the wilderness, 4057 through a land 776 of deserts 6160 and of pits, 7745 through a land 776 of drought, 6723 and of the shadow of death, 6757 through a land 776 that no x3808 man 376 passed through, 5674 z8804 and where x8033 no x3808 man 120 dwelt? 3427 z8804

 2:7 And I brought 935 z8686 you into x413 a plentiful 3759 country, 776 to eat 398 z8800 the fruit 6529 thereof and the goodness 2898 thereof; but when ye entered, 935 z8799 ye defiled 2930 z8762 x853 my land, 776 and made 7760 z8804 mine heritage 5159 an abomination. 8441

 2:8 The priests 3548 said 559 z8804 not, x3808 Where x346 [is] Yahweh? 3068 and they that handle 8610 z8802 the law 8451 knew 3045 z8804 me not: x3808 the pastors 7462 z8802 also transgressed 6586 z8804 against me, and the prophets 5030 prophesied 5012 z8738 by Baal, 1168 and walked 1980 z8804 after 310 [things that] do not x3808 profit. 3276 z8686

 2:9 ¶ Wherefore x3651 I will yet x5750 plead 7378 z8799 with x854 you, saith 5002 z8803 Yahweh, 3068 and with x854 your children's 1121 children 1121 will I plead. 7378 z8799

 2:10 For x3588 pass over 5674 z8798 the isles 339 of Chittim, 3794 and see; 7200 z8798 and send 7971 z8798 unto Kedar, 6938 and consider 995 z8708 diligently, 3966 and see 7200 z8798 if there be x1961 such x2063 a thing.

 2:11 Hath a nation 1471 changed y3235 z8689 x4171 [their] elohim, 430 which x1992 [are] yet no x3808 elohim? 430 but my people 5971 have changed 4171 z8689 their glory 3519 for [that which] doth not x3808 profit. 3276 z8686

 2:12 Be astonished, 8074 z8798 O ye heavens, 8064 at x5921 this, x2063 and be horribly afraid, 8175 z8798 be ye very 3966 desolate, 2717 z8798 saith 5002 z8803 Yahweh. 3068

 2:13 For x3588 my people 5971 have committed 6213 z8804 two 8147 evils; 7451 they have forsaken 5800 z8804 me the fountain 4726 of living 2416 waters, 4325 [and] hewed them out 2672 z8800 cisterns, 877 broken 7665 z8737 cisterns, 877 that x834 can hold 3557 z8686 no x3808 water. 4325

 2:14 ¶ [Is] Israel 3478 a servant? 5650 [is] he x1931 a homeborn 1004 3211 [slave]? why 4069 is x1961 he spoiled? 957

 2:15 The young lions 3715 roared 7580 z8799 upon x5921 him, [and] yelled, 5414 6963 z8804 and they made 7896 z8799 his land 776 waste: 8047 his cities 5892 are burned 3341 z8738 without x4480 x1097 inhabitant. 3427 z8802

 2:16 Also x1571 the children 1121 of Noph 5297 and Tahapanes 8471 have broken 7462 z8799 the crown of thy head. 6936

 2:17 Hast thou not x3808 procured 6213 z8799 this x2063 unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken 5800 z8800 x853 Yahweh 3068 thy Elohim, 430 when 6256 he led y3212 z8688 x1980 thee by the way? 1870

 2:18 And now x6258 what x4100 hast thou to do in the way 1870 of Egypt, 4714 to drink 8354 z8800 the waters 4325 of Sihor? 7883 or what x4100 hast thou to do in the way 1870 of Assyria, 804 to drink 8354 z8800 the waters 4325 of the river? 5104

 2:19 Thine own wickedness 7451 shall correct 3256 z8762 thee, and thy backslidings 4878 shall reprove 3198 z8686 thee: know 3045 z8798 therefore and see 7200 z8798 that x3588 [it is] an evil 7451 [thing] and bitter, 4751 that thou hast forsaken 5800 z8800 x853 Yahweh 3068 thy Elohim, 430 and that my fear 6345 [is] not x3808 in x413 thee, saith 5002 z8803 Adonai 136 Yahweh 3069 Sabaoth. 6635

 2:20 ¶ For x3588 of old time 5769 x4480 I have broken 7665 z8804 thy yoke, 5923 [and] burst 5423 z8765 thy bands; 4147 and thou saidst, 559 z8799 I will not x3808 transgress; 5674 z8799 z8675 y5647 when x3588 upon x5921 every x3605 high 1364 hill 1389 and under x8478 every x3605 green 7488 tree 6086 thou x859 wanderest, 6808 z8802 playing the harlot. 2181 z8802

 2:21 Yet I x595 had planted 5193 z8804 thee a noble vine, 8321 wholly x3605 a right 571 seed: 2233 how x349 then art thou turned 2015 z8738 into the degenerate x5494 plant y5494 of a strange 5237 vine 1612 unto me?

 2:22 For x3588 though x518 thou wash 3526 z8762 thee with nitre, 5427 and take thee much 7235 z8686 soap, 1287 [yet] thine iniquity 5771 is marked 3799 z8737 before 6440 me, saith 5002 z8803 Adonai 136 Yahweh. 3069

 2:23 How x349 canst thou say, 559 z8799 I am not x3808 polluted, 2930 z8738 I have not x3808 gone 1980 z8804 after 310 Baalim? 1168 see 7200 z8798 thy way 1870 in the valley, 1516 know 3045 z8798 what x4100 thou hast done: 6213 z8804 [thou art] a swift 7031 dromedary 1072 traversing 8308 z8764 her ways; 1870

 2:24 A wild ass 6501 used 3928 to the wilderness, 4057 [that] snuffeth up 7602 z8804 the wind 7307 at her pleasure; 185 5315 in her occasion 8385 who x4310 can turn her away? 7725 z8686 all x3605 they that seek 1245 z8764 her will not x3808 weary 3286 z8799 themselves; in her month 2320 they shall find 4672 z8799 her.

 2:25 Withhold 4513 z8798 thy foot 7272 from being unshod, 3182 x4480 and thy throat 1627 from thirst: 6773 x4480 but thou saidst, 559 z8799 There is no hope: 2976 z8737 no; x3808 for x3588 I have loved 157 z8804 strangers, 2114 z8801 and after 310 them will I go. y3212 z8799 x1980

 2:26 As the thief 1590 is ashamed 1322 when x3588 he is found, 4672 z8735 so x3651 is the house 1004 of Israel 3478 ashamed; y3001 z8689 x954 they, x1992 their kings, 4428 their princes, 8269 and their priests, 3548 and their prophets, 5030

 2:27 Saying 559 z8802 to a stock, 6086 Thou x859 [art] my father; 1 and to a stone, 68 Thou x859 hast brought me forth: 3205 z8804 for x3588 they have turned 6437 z8804 [their] back 6203 unto x413 me, and not x3808 [their] face: 6440 but in the time 6256 of their trouble 7451 they will say, 559 z8799 Arise, 6965 z8798 and save 3467 z8685 us.

 2:28 But where x346 [are] thy elohim 430 that x834 thou hast made 6213 z8804 thee? let them arise, 6965 z8799 if x518 they can save 3467 z8686 thee in the time 6256 of thy trouble: 7451 for x3588 [according to] the number 4557 of thy cities 5892 are x1961 thy elohim, 430 O Judah. 3063

 2:29 Wherefore x4100 will ye plead 7378 z8799 with x413 me? ye all x3605 have transgressed 6586 z8804 against me, saith 5002 z8803 Yahweh. 3068

 2:30 In vain 7723 have I smitten 5221 z8689 x853 your children; 1121 they received 3947 z8804 no x3808 correction: 4148 your own sword 2719 hath devoured 398 z8804 your prophets, 5030 like a destroying 7843 z8688 lion. 738

 2:31 ¶ O generation, 1755 see 7200 z8798 ye x859 the word 1697 of Yahweh. 3068 Have I been x1961 a wilderness 4057 unto Israel? 3478 a land 776 of darkness? 3991 wherefore x4069 say 559 z8804 my people, 5971 We are lords; 7300 z8804 we will come 935 z8799 no x3808 more x5750 unto x413 thee?

 2:32 Can a maid 1330 forget 7911 z8799 her ornaments, 5716 [or] a bride 3618 her attire? 7196 yet my people 5971 have forgotten 7911 z8804 me days 3117 without x369 number. 4557

 2:33 Why x4100 trimmest 3190 z8686 thou thy way 1870 to seek 1245 z8763 love? 160 therefore x3651 hast thou also x1571 taught 3925 z8765 x853 the wicked ones 7451 x853 thy ways. 1870

 2:34 Also x1571 in thy skirts 3671 is found 4672 z8738 the blood 1818 of the souls 5315 of the poor 34 innocents: 5355 I have not x3808 found 4672 z8804 it by secret search, 4290 but x3588 upon x5921 all x3605 these. x428

 2:35 Yet thou sayest, 559 z8799 Because x3588 I am innocent, 5352 z8738 surely x389 his anger 639 shall turn 7725 z8804 from x4480 me. Behold, x2009 I will plead y8199 z8737 with x8199 thee, because x5921 thou sayest, 559 z8800 I have not x3808 sinned. 2398 z8804

 2:36 Why x4100 gaddest x235 thou about y235 z8799 so much 3966 to change 8138 z8763 x853 thy way? 1870 thou also x1571 shalt be ashamed 954 z8799 of Egypt, 4714 x4480 as x834 thou wast ashamed 954 z8804 of Assyria. 804 x4480

 2:37 Yea, x1571 thou shalt go forth 3318 z8799 from x4480 x854 him, x2088 and thine hands 3027 upon x5921 thine head: 7218 for x3588 Yahweh 3068 hath rejected 3988 z8804 thy confidences, 4009 and thou shalt not x3808 prosper 6743 z8686 in them.
