THE BROKEN COVENANT
So be the word to Yirme Yah from Yah Veh, saying, 2 Hear the words of this covenant; and word to the men of Yah Hudah and to the settlers of Yeru Shalem; 3 and say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Cursed is the man who hearkens not to the words of this covenant, 4 which I misvahed your fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Misrayim - from the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and work them, according to all I misvah you: and you are my people, and I am your Elohim: 5 to raise the oath I oathed to your fathers - to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as this day. And I answer, and say, Amen, O Yah Veh. 6 And Yah Veh says to me, Call all these words in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and work them. 7 For in witnessing, I witnessed to your fathers in the day I ascended them from the land of Misrayim to this day - starting early and witnessing, saying, Hearken to my voice! 8 And they neither hearkened nor spread their ear; and every man walked in the warp of his evil heart: and I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I misvahed them to work: and they worked them not. 9 And Yah Veh says to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Yah Hudah and among the settlers of Yeru Shalem: 10 they return to the perversities of their forefathers who refused to hear my words; and go after other elohim to serve them: the house of Yisra El and the house of Yah Hudah break my covenant which I cut with their fathers. 11 So thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I bring evil on them, which they are not able to escape; and though they cry to me I hearken not to them: 12 and the cities of Yah Hudah and settlers of Yeru Shalem go and cry to the elohim to whom they incense: and in saving, they save them not in the time of their evil: 13 for as the number of your cities are your elohim, O Yah Hudah; and as the number of the outways of Yeru Shalem, you set up sacrifice altars to the shameful - sacrifice altars to incense to Baal. 14 And you - you neither pray for this people, nor lift a shout or prayer for them: for I hearken not in the time they call to me for their evil. 15 What - to my beloved in my house, her working intrigue with many and pass the holy flesh from you? when you work evil, you jump for joy. 16 Yah Veh calls your name, Green Olive! Beautiful! Formed Fruit! With the voice of a great rush he kindles fire thereon, and shatters the branches thereof. 17 And Yah Veh Sabaoth who plants you, words evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Yisra El and of the house of Yah Hudah, which they work against themselves to vex me by incensing to Baal. 18 And Yah Veh gives me knowledge thereof and I know it: then you show me their exploitations: 19 and I am as a lamb or a bullock brought to the slaughter; and I know not that they fabricate fabrications against me: - we ruin the tree with the bread and we cut him off from the land of the living so that we remember his name no more. 20 And, O Yah Veh Sabaoth, who judges justly, who proofs the reins and the heart, I see your avengement on them: for to you I expose my plea. 21 So thus says Yah Veh of the men of Anathoth who seek your soul, saying, Prophesy not in the name of Yah Veh, that you die not by our hand. 22 So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, Behold, I visit on them: their youths die by the sword their sons and their daughters die by famine: 23 and they have no survivors: for I bring evil on the men of Anathoth, the year of their visitation.
