24:018:013 Therefore thus saith the lord; Ask
ye now among the heathen,
who
hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath
done a
very
horrible thing.
24:018:014 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?
24:018:015 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;
24:018:016 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual
hissing; every
one
that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his
head.
24:018:017 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.
24:018:018 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.
24:018:019 Give heed to me, O lord, and hearken
to the voice of them that
contend
with me.
24:018:020 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.
24:018:021 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.
24:018:022 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.
24:018:023 Yet, lord, 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.
24:019:001 Thus saith the lord, Go and get a
potter’s earthen bottle, and
take
of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients
of the
priests;
24:019:002 And go forth unto the valley of the son
of Hinnom, which is by
the
entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words
that
I
shall tell thee,
24:019:003 And say, Hear ye the word of the lord,
O kings of Judah, and
inhabitants
of Jerusalem; Thus saith the lord of hosts, the
God
of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place,
the
which
whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
