RF JER 6:1 A Warning to Benjamin.
Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, on the walls of Jerusalem, and blow aloud with the trumpet, and hoist a standard over the Castle of Olives, for trouble appears from the north, with a great crash!
RF JER 6:2 My idle, delicate, and tender daughter of Zion!
RF JER 6:3 Misery and desolation comes on you! They pitch their tents around you! each at the side of his mate!
RF JER 6:4 They proclaim war against her, they mount and go up to the forts! Woe for us! for the day turns! for the dark shadows extend!
RF JER 6:5 They rise up by night and destroy her palaces!
RF JER 6:6 For thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, "Cut timber, and pile up an embankment against Jerusalem. It is a city crammed with wrong in its breast.
RF JER 6:7 As a spring pours out water, so she pours out wrong-doing; violence and plunder are heard in her; wounding and murder are always before Me!
RF JER 6:8 Return to Me, Jerusalem, lest My soul becomes sick of you!—for fear I should make you a desert, a land where no one dwells!"
RF JER 6:9 Thus says the LORD OF HOSTS, "Glean, glean the remnant of Israel like a vine! Turn your hand like a grape-picker over the boughs."
RF JER 6:10 The Prophet.
To whom shall I speak, and give instructions, that they will hear? See! They have artificial ears, that cannot listen! The word of the EVER-LIVING has become their scorn they have no pleasure in it!
RF JER 6:11 Therefore I am full of the spirit of the EVER-LIVING. I am unable to restrain myself.
The Lord.
"Pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the crowd of youths, at once, for the Man and the Woman shall be captured with the old man who is full of days!
RF JER 6:12 And their homes shall be transferred to strangers, with their lands and their wives, for I will extend My hand against this country," says the EVER-LIVING,"
RF JER 6:13 and from the least to the greatest they shall all be plundered! for from the Preacher to the Priest, they are all false!
RF JER 6:14 And the fragments of My People shall be scattered in shame, for crying Peace! Peace! when there is no peace!
RF JER 6:15 Were they honoured when they acted disgracefully? Nay! they were not ashamed of shame, any of them, they would not recognize it, therefore they shall fall when they are attacked, they shall fall and totter at the hour of punishment!" says the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 6:16 A Plea To Israel to Repent.
Thus said the EVER-LIVING, "Stand in the roads, and examine, and enquire in the old paths, which is the best way, and walk in it, and find comfort to your lives." But they replied, "We will not walk there!"
RF JER 6:17 "Then I appointed watchmen over them, to make them listen to the voice of the trumpet. But they replied, 'We will not listen.'
RF JER 6:18 Therefore hear the heathen, and recognize the proof of what has come upon you!
RF JER 6:19 Let the land hear! See! I will bring misery upon this People, the fruit of their thoughts, because they would not listen to My words, and rejected My laws.
RF JER 6:20 "Why do you bring frankincense to Me from Sheba, and cinnamon from a distant land? Your burnt-offerings please not, and I cannot accept your sacrifices.
RF JER 6:21 "Therefore," the EVER-LIVING adds, "I will give this People to the Kasdim, and they shall fall by them, fathers and children together, the host and his friend shall perish."
RF JER 6:22 Thus says the EVER-LIVING, "Look! a People come from a northern land! and a Great Nation appears from a distant country!
RF JER 6:23 They are mighty with bows and arrows; they are bold and without mercy; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses, prepared as men of war against you, O Daughter of Zion!
RF JER 6:24 The Prophets Comment.
On hearing the report of them our hands faint! We are distressed and anguished as in the anguish of childbirth!
RF JER 6:25 Go not to the field, walk not on the roads, for there the sword of the enemy affrights.
RF JER 6:26 Daughter of my People, gird on sackcloth! roll in the dust. Weak! Forsaken! place yourself with the wretched weepers, for the plunderer comes suddenly on us!
RF JER 6:27 The Lords Reply to Him.
"I will make you a beacon to My People; a pillar and guide-post, and you shall point out their path.
RF JER 6:28 They are all sullen mutineers, they go on complaining, they are all brass and iron, they have corrupted themselves.
RF JER 6:29 The bellows snort on the lead in vain, in their fire, it refines,—it refines, but their dross will not go!
RF JER 6:30 Their silver is sick, they cry! For the EVER-LIVING has been sickened by them!"
