24:006:018 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O
congregation, what is
among
them.
24:006:019 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.
24:006:020 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.
24:006:021 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.
24:006:022 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.
24:006:023 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.
24:006:024 We have heard the fame thereof: our
hands wax feeble: anguish
hath
taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
24:006:025 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by
the way; for the
sword
of the enemy and fear is on every side.
24:006:026 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.
24:006:027 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress
among my people,
that
thou mayest know and try their way.
24:006:028 They are all grievous revolters, walking
with slanders: they
are
brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
24:006:029 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed
of the fire; the
founder
melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked
away.
24:006:030 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because
the lord hath
rejected
them.
24:007:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from the lord, saying,
24:007:002 Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house,
and proclaim there this
word,
and say, Hear the word of the lord, all ye of
Judah,
that
enter in at these gates to worship the lord.
24:007:003 Thus saith the lord of hosts, the
God of Israel, Amend your
ways
and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this
place.
24:007:004 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The
temple of the lord,
The
temple of the lord, The temple of the lord,
are these.
