Jeremiah 18 - King James Bible with Strong Numbers1 H1697 The word H3414 which came to Jeremiah H3068 from the LORD H559 , saying [H8800] , 2 H6965 Arise [H8798] H3381 , and go down [H8804] H3335 to the potter's [H8802] H1004 house H8085 , and there I will cause thee to hear [H8686] H1697 my words. 3 H3381 Then I went down [H8799] H3335 to the potter's [H8802] H1004 house H2009 , and, behold H6213 , he wrought [H8802] H4399 a work H70 on the wheels. 4 H3627 And the vessel H6213 that he made [H8802] H2563 of clay H7843 was marred [H8738] H3027 in the hand H3335 of the potter [H8802] H6213 : so he made [H8799] H7725 it again [H8804] H312 another H3627 vessel H5869 , as seemed H3474 good [H8804] H3335 to the potter [H8802] H6213 to make [H8800] it . 5 H1697 Then the word H3068 of the LORD H559 came to me, saying [H8800] , 6 H1004 O house H3478 of Israel H3201 , cannot [H8799] H6213 I do [H8800] H3335 with you as this potter [H8802] H5002 ? saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H2563 . Behold, as the clay H3335 is in the potter's [H8802] H3027 hand H3027 , so are ye in mine hand H1004 , O house H3478 of Israel. 7 H7281 At what instant H1696 I shall speak [H8762] H1471 concerning a nation H4467 , and concerning a kingdom H5428 , to pluck up [H8800] H5422 , and to pull down [H8800] H6 , and to destroy [H8687] it; 8 H1471 If that nation H1696 , against whom I have pronounced [H8765] H7725 , turn [H8804] H7451 from their evil H5162 , I will repent [H8738] H7451 of the evil H2803 that I thought [H8804] H6213 to do [H8800] unto them. 9 H7281 And at what instant H1696 I shall speak [H8762] H1471 concerning a nation H4467 , and concerning a kingdom H1129 , to build [H8800] H5193 and to plant [H8800] it; 10 H6213 If it do [H8804] H7451 evil H5869 in my sight H8085 , that it obey [H8800] H6963 not my voice H5162 , then I will repent [H8738] H2896 of the good H559 , wherewith I said [H8804] H3190 I would benefit [H8687] them. 11 H559 Now therefore go to, speak [H8798] H376 to the men H3063 of Judah H3427 , and to the inhabitants [H8802] H3389 of Jerusalem H559 , saying [H8800] H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H3335 ; Behold, I frame [H8802] H7451 evil H2803 against you, and devise [H8802] H4284 a device H7725 against you: return [H8798] H376 ye now every one H7451 from his evil H1870 way H1870 , and make your ways H4611 and your doings H3190 good [H8685] . 12 H559 And they said [H8804] H2976 , There is no hope [H8737] H3212 : but we will walk [H8799] H310 after H4284 our own devices H376 , and we will every one H6213 do [H8799] H8307 the imagination H7451 of his evil H3820 heart. 13 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H7592 ; Ask [H8798] H1471 ye now among the heathen H8085 , who hath heard [H8804] H1330 such things: the virgin H3478 of Israel H6213 hath done [H8804] H3966 a very H8186 horrible thing. 14 H5800 Will a man leave [H8799] H7950 the snow H3844 of Lebanon H6697 which cometh from the rock H7704 of the field H7119 ? or shall the cold H5140 flowing [H8802] H4325 waters H2114 that come from another place [H8801] H5428 be forsaken [H8735] ? 15 H5971 Because my people H7911 hath forgotten [H8804] H6999 me, they have burned incense [H8762] H7723 to vanity H3782 , and they have caused them to stumble [H8686] H1870 in their ways H5769 from the ancient H7635 paths [H8675] H7635 H3212 , to walk [H8800] H5410 in paths H1870 , in a way H5549 not cast up [H8803] ; 16 H7760 To make [H8800] H776 their land H8047 desolate H5769 , and a perpetual H8292 hissing [H8675] H8292 H5674 ; every one that passeth [H8802] H8074 thereby shall be astonished [H8799] H5110 , and wag [H8686] H7218 his head. 17 H6327 I will scatter [H8686] H6921 them as with an east H7307 wind H6440 before H341 the enemy [H8802] H7200 ; I will shew [H8799] H6203 them the back H6440 , and not the face H3117 , in the day H343 of their calamity. 18 H559 Then said [H8799] H3212 they, Come [H8798] H2803 , and let us devise [H8799] H4284 devices H3414 against Jeremiah H8451 ; for the law H6 shall not perish [H8799] H3548 from the priest H6098 , nor counsel H2450 from the wise H1697 , nor the word H5030 from the prophet H3212 . Come [H8798] H5221 , and let us smite [H8686] H3956 him with the tongue H7181 , and let us not give heed [H8686] H1697 to any of his words. 19 H7181 Give heed [H8685] H3068 to me, O LORD H8085 , and hearken [H8798] H6963 to the voice H3401 of them that contend with me. 20 H7451 Shall evil H7999 be recompensed [H8792] H2896 for good H3738 ? for they have digged [H8804] H7745 a pit H5315 for my soul H2142 . Remember [H8798] H5975 that I stood [H8800] H6440 before H1696 thee to speak [H8763] H2896 good H7725 for them, and to turn away [H8687] H2534 thy wrath from them. 21 H5414 Therefore deliver up [H8798] H1121 their children H7458 to the famine H5064 , and pour out [H8685] H3027 their blood by the force H2719 of the sword H802 ; and let their wives H7909 be bereaved H490 of their children, and be widows H582 ; and let their men H2026 be put [H8803] H4194 to death H970 ; let their young men H5221 be slain [H8716] H2719 by the sword H4421 in battle. 22 H2201 Let a cry H8085 be heard [H8735] H1004 from their houses H935 , when thou shalt bring [H8686] H1416 a troop H6597 suddenly H3738 upon them: for they have digged [H8804] H7745 a pit [H8675] H7882 H3920 to take [H8800] H2934 me, and hid [H8804] H6341 snares H7272 for my feet. 23 H3068 Yet, LORD H3045 , thou knowest [H8804] H6098 all their counsel H4194 against me to slay H3722 me : forgive [H8762] H5771 not their iniquity H4229 , neither blot out [H8686] H2403 their sin H6440 from thy sight H3782 , but let them be overthrown [H8716] H6440 before H6213 thee; deal [H8798] H6256 thus with them in the time H639 of thine anger. |
