JER-16:1 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
JER-16:2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou
have sons or
daughters in this place.
JER-16:3 For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and
concerning the
daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their
mothers that bare
them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
JER-16:4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be
lamented;
neither shall they be buried; [but] they shall be as dung upon
the face of the
earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine;
and their
carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the
beasts of the
earth.
JER-16:5 For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of
mourning,
neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my
peace from this
people, saith the LORD, [even] lovingkindness and mercies.
JER-16:6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land:
they shall not
be buried, neither shall [men] lament for them, nor cut
themselves, nor make
themselves bald for them:
JER-16:7 Neither shall [men] tear [themselves] for them in
mourning, to
comfort them for the dead; neither shall [men] give them the cup
of
consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
JER-16:8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to
sit with them
to eat and to drink.
JER-16:9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Behold, I will
cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days,
the voice of
mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom,
and the voice
of the bride.
JER-16:10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this
people all
these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the
LORD pronounced
all this great evil against us? or what [is] our iniquity? or
what [is] our
sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
JER-16:11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers
have forsaken
me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have
served them,
and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not
kept my law;
JER-16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold,
ye walk
every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may
not hearken
unto me:
JER-16:13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a
land that ye know
not, [neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve
other gods day
and night; where I will not show you favour.
JER-16:14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that it shall no
more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
Israel out of
the land of Egypt;
JER-16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
Israel from
the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had
driven them: and
I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.
JER-16:16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD,
and they
shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and
they shall hunt
them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the
holes of the
rocks.
JER-16:17 For mine eyes [are] upon all their ways: they are not
hid from my
face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
JER-16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their
sin double;
because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine
inheritance with the
carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
JER-16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge
in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of
the earth, and
shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and
[things]
wherein [there is] no profit.
JER-16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no
gods?
JER-16:21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to
know, I will
cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know
that my name
[is] The LORD.
