24_JER_07_01 the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD , saying ,
24_JER_07_02 stand in the gate of the LORD's house , And proclaim there this word , And say , hear the word of the LORD , all [ ye of ] Judah , that enter in at These gates to worship the LORD .
24_JER_07_03 thus saith the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel , amend your ways And your doings , And I will cause you to dwell in this place .
24_JER_07_04 trust ye not in lying words , saying , the temple of the LORD , the temple of the LORD , the temple of the LORD , [ are ] These .
24_JER_07_05 for if ye thoroughly amend your ways And your doings ; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between A man And his neighbour ;
24_JER_07_06 [ if ] ye 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 :
24_JER_07_07 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place , in the land that I gave to your fathers , for ever And ever .
24_JER_07_08 behold , ye trust in lying words , that cannot profit .
24_JER_07_09 will ye steal , murder , And commit adultery , And swear falsely , And burn incense unto Baal , And walk after other gods whom ye know not ;
24_JER_07_10 And come And stand before me in this house , which Is called by my name , And say , we are delivered to do all These abominations ?
24_JER_07_11 Is this house , which Is called by my name , become A den of robbers in your eyes ? behold , even I have seen [ it ] , saith the LORD .
24_JER_07_12 but go ye now unto my place which [ was ] in Shiloh , where I set my name at the first , And see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel .
24_JER_07_13 And now , because ye have done all These works , saith the LORD , And I spake unto you , rising up early And speaking , but ye heard not ; And I called you , but ye answered not ;
24_JER_07_14 therefore will I do unto [ this ] house , which Is called by my name , wherein ye trust , And unto the place which I gave to you And to your fathers , as I have done to Shiloh .
24_JER_07_15 And I will cast you out of my sight , as I have cast out all your brethren , [ even ] the whole seed of Ephraim .
24_JER_07_16 therefore pray not thou for this people , neither lift up cry nor prayer for them , neither make intercession to me : for I will not hear thee .
24_JER_07_17 seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah And in the streets of Jerusalem ?
24_JER_07_18 the 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 .
24_JER_07_19 do they provoke me to anger ? saith the LORD : [ do they ] not [ provoke ] themselves to the confusion of their own faces ?
24_JER_07_20 therefore thus saith the LORD God ; behold , mine 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 .
24_JER_07_21 thus saith the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel ; put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices , And eat flesh .
24_JER_07_22 for I spake not unto your fathers , nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt , concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices :
24_JER_07_23 but this thing commanded I them , saying , obey my voice , And I will be your God , And ye shall be my people : And walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you , that it may be Well unto you .
24_JER_07_24 but they hearkened not , nor inclined their ear , but walked in the counsels [ And ] in the imagination of their evil heart , And went backward , And not forward .
24_JER_07_25 since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets , daily rising up early And sending [ them ] :
24_JER_07_26 yet they hearkened not unto me , nor inclined their ear , but hardened their neck : they did worse than their fathers .
24_JER_07_27 therefore thou shalt speak all These words unto them ; but they will not hearken to thee : thou shalt also call unto them ; but they will not answer thee .
24_JER_07_28 but thou shalt say unto them , this [ Is ] A nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God , nor receiveth correction : truth Is perished , And Is cut off from their mouth .
24_JER_07_29 cut off thine hair , [ O Jerusalem ] , And cast [ it ] away , And take up A lamentation on high places ; for the LORD hath rejected And forsaken the generation of his wrath .
24_JER_07_30 for the children of Judah have done evil in my sight , saith the LORD : they have set their abominations in the house which Is called by my name , to pollute it .
24_JER_07_31 And they have built the high places of Tophet , which [ Is ] in the valley of the son of Hinnom , to burn their sons And their daughters in the fire ; which I commanded [ them ] not , neither came it into my heart .
24_JER_07_32 therefore , behold , the days come , saith the LORD , that it shall no more be called Tophet , nor the valley of the son of Hinnom , but the valley of slaughter : for they shall bury in Tophet , till there be no place .
24_JER_07_33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven , And for the beasts of the earth ; And none shall fray [ them ] away .
24_JER_07_34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah , And from the streets of Jerusalem , the voice of mirth , And the voice of gladness , the voice of the bridegroom , And the voice of the bride : for the land shall be desolate .
