Jeremiah 44:16King James Bible with Strong NumbersH1697As for the wordH1696that thou hast spoken[H8765] H8034unto us in the nameH3068of the LORDH8085, we will not hearken[H8802] unto thee. See the chapter |
H3705NowH2006ifH383ye beH6263readyH5732that at what timeH8086ye hear[H8748] H7032the soundH7162of the cornetH4953, fluteH7030, harp[H8675] H7030 H5443, sackbutH6460, psalteryH5481, and dulcimerH3606, and allH2178kindsH2170of musickH5308, ye fall down[H8748] H5457and worship[H8748] H6755the imageH5648which I have made[H8754] H2006; well : but ifH5457ye worship[H8748] H3809notH7412, ye shall be cast[H8729] H8160the same hourH1459into the midstH3345of a burning[H8751] H5135fieryH861furnaceH4479; and whoH426is that GodH7804that shall deliver[H8755] H4481you out ofH3028my hands?
H8269Therefore the princesH559said[H8799] H4428unto the kingH376, We beseech thee, let this manH4191be put to death[H8714] H3651: for thusH7503he weakeneth[H8764] H3027the handsH582of the menH4421of warH7604that remain[H8737] H5892in this cityH3027, and the handsH5971of all the peopleH1696, in speaking[H8763] H1697such wordsH376unto them: for this manH1875seeketh[H8802] H7965not the welfareH5971of this peopleH7451, but the hurt.
H559Then said[H8799] H3212they, Come[H8798] H2803, and let us devise[H8799] H4284devicesH3414against JeremiahH8451; for the lawH6shall not perish[H8799] H3548from the priestH6098, nor counselH2450from the wiseH1697, nor the wordH5030from the prophetH3212. Come[H8798] H5221, and let us smite[H8686] H3956him with the tongueH7181, and let us not give heed[H8686] H1697to any of his words.
H7725They are turned back[H8804] H5771to the iniquitiesH7223of their forefathersH1 H3985, which refused[H8765] H8085to hear[H8800] H1697my wordsH1980; and they went[H8804] H310afterH312otherH430godsH5647to serve[H8800] H1004them: the houseH3478of IsraelH1004and the houseH3063of JudahH6565have broken[H8689] H1285my covenantH3772which I made[H8804] H1with their fathers.
H8085Yet they obeyed[H8804] H5186not, nor inclined[H8689] H241their earH3212, but walked[H8799] H376every oneH8307in the imaginationH7451of their evilH3820heartH935: therefore I will bring[H8686] H1697upon them all the wordsH1285of this covenantH6680, which I commanded[H8765] H6213them to do[H8800] H6213; but they did[H8804] them not.
H3001Were they ashamed[H8689] H6213when they had committed[H8804] H8441abominationH954? nay, they were not at all[H8800] H954ashamed[H8799] H3045, neither could[H8804] H3637they blush[H8736] H5307: therefore shall they fall[H8799] H5307among them that fall[H8802] H6256: in the timeH6486of their visitationH3782they shall be cast down[H8735] H559, saith[H8804] H3068the LORD.
H7181I hearkened[H8689] H8085and heard[H8799] H1696, but they spake not aright[H8762] H376: no manH5162repented[H8737] H5921him ofH7451his wickednessH559, saying[H8800] H6213, What have I done[H8804] H7725? every one turned[H8804] H4794to his courseH5483, as the horseH7857rusheth[H8802] H4421into the battle.
H7451This evilH5971peopleH3987, which refuseH8085to hear[H8800] H1697my wordsH1980, which walk[H8802] H8307in the imaginationH3820of their heartH3212, and walk[H8799] H310afterH312otherH430godsH5647, to serve[H8800] H7812them, and to worship[H8692] H232them, shall even be as this girdleH6743, which is good[H8799] for nothing.
H559Then spake[H8799] H5838AzariahH1121the sonH1955of HoshaiahH3110, and JohananH1121the sonH7143of KareahH2086, and all the proudH582menH559, saying[H8802] H3414unto JeremiahH1696, Thou speakest[H8764] H8267falselyH3068: the LORDH430our GodH7971hath not sent[H8804] H559thee to say[H8800] H935, Go[H8799] H4714not into EgyptH1481to sojourn[H8800] there:
H559Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH5975, Stand[H8798] H1870ye in the waysH7200, and see[H8799] H7592, and ask[H8798] H5769for the oldH5410pathsH2896, where is the goodH1870wayH3212, and walk[H8799] H4672therein, and ye shall find[H8798] H4771restH5315for your soulsH559. But they said[H8799] H3212, We will not walk[H8798] therein .
H559Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH6635of hostsH430, the GodH3478of IsraelH559, saying[H8800] H802; Ye and your wivesH1696have both spoken[H8762] H6310with your mouthsH4390, and fulfilled[H8765] H3027with your handH559, saying[H8800] H6213, We will surely[H8800] H6213perform[H8799] H5088our vowsH5087that we have vowed[H8804] H6999, to burn incense[H8763] H4446to the queenH8064of heavenH5258, and to pour out[H8687] H5262drink offeringsH6965unto her: ye will surely[H8687] H6965accomplish[H8686] H5088your vowsH6213, and surely[H8800] H6213perform[H8799] H5088your vows.
