- I cried:
- "My bowels,ª my bowels!ª I am painedª²°°° at my veryª heart;ª my heartª maketh a noiseª° in me; I cannot¹ hold my peace,ª° because¹ thou hast heard,ª° O my soul,ª the soundª of the trumpet,ª the alarmª of war.ª ... For¹ my peopleª [is] foolish,ª they have not¹ knownª° me; they¹ [are] sottishª children,ª and they¹ have none¹ understanding:ª° they¹ [are] wiseª to do evil,ª° but to do goodª° they have no¹ knowledge.ª°" {Jer 4:19-22} + "Run ye to and froª° through the streetsª of Jerusalem,ª and seeª° now,¹ and know,ª° and seekª° in the broad placesª thereof, if¹ ye can findª° a man,ª if¹ there beª [any] that executethª° judgment,ª that seekethª° the truth;ª and I will pardonª° it." {Jer 5:1} + "Wherefore¹¹ a lionª out of the forestª¹ shall slayª° them, [and] a wolfª of the eveningsª shall spoilª° them, a leopardª shall watchª° over¹ their cities:ª every one¹ that goeth outª° thence¹¹ shall² be torn in pieces:ª° because¹ their transgressionsª are many,ª° [and] their backslidingsª are increased.ª°" {Jer 5:6} + "Lo,¹ I will bringª° a nationª upon¹ you from far,ª¹ O houseª of Israel,ª saithª° the LORD:ª it¹ [is] a mightyª nation,ª it¹ [is] an ancientª¹ nation,ª a nationª whose languageª thou knowestª° not,¹ neither¹ understandestª° what¹ they say.ª° ... And they shall eat upª° thine harvest,ª and thy bread,ª [which] thy sonsª and thy daughtersª should eat:ª° they shall eat upª° thy flocksª and thine herds:ª they shall eat upª° thy vinesª and thy fig trees:ª they shall impoverishª° thy fencedª cities,ª wherein¹ thou²¹ trustedst,ª° with the sword.ª" {Jer 5:15-17} + "For¹ thus¹ hath the LORDª of hostsª said,ª° Hew ye downª° trees,ª and castª° a mountª against¹ Jerusalem:ª this¹ [is] the cityª to be visited;ª° she [is] wholly¹ oppressionª in the midstª of her. ... As a fountainª casteth outª° her waters,ª so¹ she casteth¹ out²° her wickedness:ª violenceª and spoilª is heardª° in her; before¹¹ me² continuallyª [is] griefª and wounds.ª" {Jer 6:6-7} + "Will ye steal,ª° murder,ª° and commit adultery,ª° and swearª° falsely,ª and burn incenseª° unto Baal,ª and walkª° afterª otherª godsª whom¹ ye knowª° not;¹" {Jer 7:9} + "Then shalt thou sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Behold,¹ I will fillª°¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª° of this¹ land,ª even the kingsª that sitª° upon¹ David'sª throne,ª and the priests,ª and the prophets,ª and all¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem,ª with drunkenness.ª ... And I will dashª° them oneª against¹ another,ª even the fathersª and the sonsª together,ª saithª° the LORD:ª I will not¹ pity,ª° nor¹ spare,ª° nor¹ have mercy,ª° but destroyª°¹ them." {Jer 13:13-14} + "Then saidª° the LORDª unto¹ me, Though¹ Mosesª and Samuelª stoodª° beforeª me, [yet] my mindª [could] not¹ [be] toward¹ this¹ people:ª cast¹ [them] out²° of¹¹ my sight,ª and let them go forth.ª° ... And I will causeª° them to be removedª°² into all¹ kingdomsª of the earth,ª because² of¹ Manassehª the sonª of Hezekiahª kingª of Judah,ª for¹ [that] which¹ he didª° in Jerusalem.ª" {Jer 15:1-4} + "Thy substanceª and thy treasuresª will I giveª° to the spoilª without¹ price,ª and [that] for all¹ thy sins,ª even in all¹ thy borders.ª ... And I will make [thee] to passª° with¹ thine enemiesª° into a landª [which] thou knowestª° not:¹ for¹ a fireª is kindledª° in mine anger,ª [which] shall burnª° upon¹ you." {Jer 15:13-14} + "But if¹ ye will not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ me to hallowª°¹ the sabbathª day,ª and not¹ to bearª° a burden,ª even entering¹ in²° at the gatesª of Jerusalemª on the sabbathª day;ª then will I kindleª° a fireª in the gatesª thereof, and it shall devourª° the palacesª of Jerusalem,ª and it shall not¹ be quenched.ª°" {Jer 17:27} + "To makeª° their landª desolate,ª [and] a perpetualª hissing;ª° every one¹ that passethª° thereby¹ shall be astonished,ª° and wagª° his head.ª ...

And shalt sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Even soª will I breakª°¹ this¹ peopleª and this¹ city,ª as¹ [one] breakethª°¹ a potter'sª° vessel,ª that¹ cannotª°¹ be made whole¹ again:²°¹ and they shall buryª° [them] in Tophet,ª till [there be] no¹¹ placeª to bury.ª°" {Jer 19:7-11} + "The prophetsª that¹ have been¹ beforeª me and beforeª thee of¹ oldª prophesiedª° both against¹ manyª countries,ª and against¹ greatª kingdoms,ª of war,ª and of evil,ª and of pestilence.ª" {Jer 28:8}
