Jeremiah 4 If you will return, O Israel, said the LORD, return to me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H518 If H7725 you will return, H3478 O Israel, H5002 said H3068 the LORD, H7725 return H518 to me: and if H5493 you will put H5493 away H8251 your abominations H6440 out of my sight, H5110 then shall you not remove.

2 H7650 And you shall swear, H3068 The LORD H2416 lives, H571 in truth, H4941 in judgment, H6666 and in righteousness; H1471 and the nations H1288 shall bless H1984 themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

3 H3541 For thus H559 said H3068 the LORD H376 to the men H3063 of Judah H3389 and Jerusalem, H5214 Break H5215 up your fallow H2232 ground, and sow H413 not among H6975 thorns.

4 H4135 Circumcise H3068 yourselves to the LORD, H5493 and take H5493 away H6190 the foreskins H3824 of your heart, H376 you men H3063 of Judah H3427 and inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem: H6435 lest H2534 my fury H3318 come H3318 forth H784 like fire, H1197 and burn H369 that none H3518 can quench H6440 it, because H7455 of the evil H4611 of your doings.

5 H5046 Declare H3063 you in Judah, H8085 and publish H3389 in Jerusalem; H559 and say, H8628 Blow H7782 you the trumpet H776 in the land: H7121 cry, H4390 gather H559 together, and say, H622 Assemble H935 yourselves, and let us go H413 into H4013 the defended H5892 cities.

6 H5375 Set H5251 up the standard H6726 toward Zion: H5756 retire, H5975 stay H935 not: for I will bring H7451 evil H6828 from the north, H1419 and a great H7667 destruction.

7 H738 The lion H5927 is come H5441 up from his thicket, H7843 and the destroyer H1471 of the Gentiles H5265 is on his way; H3318 he is gone H3318 forth H4725 from his place H7760 to make H776 your land H8047 desolate; H5892 and your cities H5327 shall be laid waste, H369 without H3427 an inhabitant.

8 H2063 For this H2296 gird H8242 you with sackcloth, H5594 lament H3213 and howl: H2740 for the fierce H639 anger H3068 of the LORD H7725 is not turned H7725 back from us.

9 H1961 And it shall come H3117 to pass at that day, H5002 said H3068 the LORD, H3820 that the heart H4428 of the king H6 shall perish, H3820 and the heart H8269 of the princes; H3548 and the priests H8074 shall be astonished, H5030 and the prophets H8539 shall wonder.

10 H559 Then said H162 I, Ah, H136 Lord H3069 GOD! H403 surely H5377 you have greatly deceived H2088 this H5971 people H3389 and Jerusalem, H559 saying, H1961 You shall have H7965 peace; H2719 whereas the sword H5060 reaches H5315 to the soul.

11 H6256 At that time H559 shall it be said H2088 to this H5971 people H3389 and to Jerusalem, H6703 A dry H7307 wind H8205 of the high H4057 places in the wilderness H1323 toward the daughter H5971 of my people, H2219 not to fan, H3808 nor H1305 to cleanse,

12 H4392 Even a full H7307 wind H428 from those H935 places shall come H6258 to me: now H1571 also H1696 will I give H4941 sentence against them.

13 H2009 Behold, H5927 he shall come H6053 up as clouds, H4818 and his chariots H5492 shall be as a whirlwind: H5483 his horses H7043 are swifter H5404 than eagles. H188 Woe H7703 to us! for we are spoiled.

14 H3389 O Jerusalem, H3526 wash H3820 your heart H7451 from wickedness, H3467 that you may be saved. H5704 How H5704 long H205 shall your vain H4284 thoughts H3885 lodge H7130 within you?

15 H6963 For a voice H5046 declares H1835 from Dan, H8085 and publishes H205 affliction H2022 from mount H669 Ephraim.

16 H2142 Make you mention H1471 to the nations; H2009 behold, H8085 publish H5921 against H3389 Jerusalem, H5341 that watchers H935 come H4801 from a far H776 country, H5414 and give H6963 out their voice H5921 against H5892 the cities H3063 of Judah.

17 H8104 As keepers H7704 of a field, H5921 are they against H5439 her round H3588 about; because H4784 she has been rebellious H5002 against me, said H3068 the LORD.

18 H1870 Your way H4611 and your doings H6213 have procured H428 these H2063 things to you; this H7451 is your wickedness, H3588 because H4751 it is bitter, H3588 because H5060 it reaches H3820 to your heart.

19 H4578 My bowels, H4578 my bowels! H3176 I am pained H7023 at my very H3820 heart; H3820 my heart H1993 makes a noise H3808 in me; I cannot H2790 hold H2790 my peace, H3588 because H8085 you have heard, H5315 O my soul, H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet, H8643 the alarm H4421 of war.

20 H7667 Destruction H7667 on destruction H7121 is cried; H3605 for the whole H776 land H7703 is spoiled: H6597 suddenly H168 are my tents H7703 spoiled, H3407 and my curtains H7281 in a moment.

21 H5704 How H5704 long H7200 shall I see H5251 the standard, H8085 and hear H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet?

22 H5971 For my people H191 is foolish, H3045 they have not known H5530 me; they are silly H1121 children, H3808 and they have none H995 understanding: H2450 they are wise H7489 to do evil, H3190 but to do good H3808 they have no H3045 knowledge.

23 H7200 I beheld H776 the earth, H2009 and, see, H8414 it was without H8414 form, H922 and void; H8064 and the heavens, H369 and they had no H216 light.

24 H7200 I beheld H2022 the mountains, H2009 and, see, H7493 they trembled, H3605 and all H1389 the hills H7043 moved H7043 lightly.

25 H7200 I beheld, H2009 and, see, H369 there was no H120 man, H3605 and all H5775 the birds H8064 of the heavens H5074 were fled.

26 H7200 I beheld, H2009 and, see, H3759 the fruitful H4057 place was a wilderness, H3605 and all H5892 the cities H5422 thereof were broken H5422 down H6440 at the presence H3068 of the LORD, H2740 and by his fierce H639 anger.

27 H3541 For thus H3068 has the LORD H559 said, H3605 The whole H776 land H8077 shall be desolate; H6213 yet will I not make H3615 a full end.

28 H2063 For this H776 shall the earth H56 mourn, H8064 and the heavens H4605 above H6937 be black; H5921 because H3588 H1696 I have spoken H2161 it, I have purposed H5162 it, and will not repent, H3808 neither H7725 will I turn H7725 back from it.

29 H3605 The whole H5892 city H1272 shall flee H6963 for the noise H6571 of the horsemen H7411 and bowmen; H7198 H935 they shall go H5645 into thickets, H5927 and climb H3710 up on the rocks: H3605 every H5892 city H5800 shall be forsaken, H376 and not a man H3427 dwell H2004 therein.

30 H7703 And when you are spoiled, H4100 what H6213 will you do? H3588 Though H3847 you clothe H8144 yourself with crimson, H3588 though H5710 you deck H5716 you with ornaments H2091 of gold, H3588 though H7167 you rend H5869 your face H6320 with painting, H7723 in vain H3302 shall you make yourself fair; H5689 your lovers H3988 will despise H1245 you, they will seek H5315 your life.

31 H8085 For I have heard H6963 a voice H2470 as of a woman in travail, H6869 and the anguish H1069 as of her that brings H1069 forth her first H6963 child, the voice H1323 of the daughter H6726 of Zion, H3306 that mourns H6566 herself, that spreads H3709 her hands, H188 saying, Woe H4994 is me now! H5315 for my soul H5888 is wearied H2026 because of murderers.
