Jeremiah 7
7
1The word that came to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying,
2Stand in the gate of the Lord-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), all [you2f of] Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
3Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4Trust you2f not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The temple of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), The temple of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [are] these.
5For if you2f thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you2f thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 [If] you2f oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.
8Behold, you2f trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9Will you2f steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and walk after other gods whom you2f know not;
10And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
12But go you2f now unto my place which [was] in Shiloh [Place of Rest], where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
13And now, because you2f have done all these works, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, but you2f heard not; and I called you, but you2f answered not;
14Therefore will I do unto [this] house, which is called by my name, wherein you2f trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh [Place of Rest].
15And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, [even] the whole seed of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].
16Therefore pray not youi for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear youi.
17See youi not what they do in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and in the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]?
18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and you2f shall be my people: and walk you2f in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24But they listened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending [them]:
26Yet they listened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27Therefore youi shall speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to youi: youi shall also call unto them; but they will not answer youi.
28But youi shall say unto them, This [is] a nation that obeys not the voice of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], nor receives correction: tis perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29Cut off youi hair, [O Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]], and cast [it] away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30For the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] have done evil in my sight, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31And they have built the high places of Tofet [place of fire], which [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation], to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded [them] not, neither came it into my heart.
32Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that it shall no more be called Tofet [place of fire], nor the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation], but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tofet [place of fire], till there be no place.
33And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten (make afriad) [them] away.
34Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and from the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the voice of gladness, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
