Jeremiah 6:28Easy To Read VersionMy people have turned against me,\par and they are very stubborn.\par They say bad things about people.\par They are like bronze and iron,\par that are covered with rust and tarnish.\par See the chapter |
Then the enemies of Jeremiah said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost. And the advice from the wise men will still be with us. We will still have the words of the prophets. So let us tell lies about him. That will ruin him. We will not pay attention to anything he says.”
I hear people whispering against me.\par Everywhere, I hear things that scare me.\par Even my friends are saying things\par against me.\par People are just waiting for me\par to make some mistake.\par They are saying,\par “Let us lie and say he did some bad thing.\par Maybe we can trick Jeremiah.\par Then we will have him.\par We will finally be rid of him.\par Then we will grab him\par and take our revenge on him.”\par
The people of the world were angry;\par but now is the time for your anger.\par Now is the time for the dead people\par to be judged.\par It is time to reward your servants,\par the prophets, {\cf2\super [87]} \par and to reward your holy people, {\cf2\super [88]} \par the people, great and small, who respect you.\par It is time to destroy those people\par who destroy the earth!”\par
