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.
