CHAP. XI.
3 A curse of them that obey not the worde of Gods couenant.
10 The people of Iudah, following the steppes of their fathers,
worship strange gods. 15 The Lorde forbiddeth Ieremiah to
pray for them.
1 The worde that came to Ieremiah from the
Lord, saying,
2 Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and
speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants
of Ierusalem,
3 And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the
Lorde God of Israel, note Cursed be the man that obeyeth
not the wordes of this couenant,
4 Which I commaunded vnto your fathers,
when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt,
from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce,
and doe according to all these things, which I
commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I
will be your God,
-- --
The peoples idolatrie.
5 That I may confirme the othe, that I haue
sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande,
which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth
this day. Then answered note I and sayde, So be
it, O Lord.
6 Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these
words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of
Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant,
and doe them.
7 For I haue protested vnto your fathers, wh&ebar;
I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto
this day, note rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey
my voyce.
8 Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline
their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse
of his wicked note heart: therefore I will
bring vpon them all the note wordes of this couenant,
which I commanded them to do, but they
did it not.
9 And the Lord sayd vnto me, A note conspiracie
is found among the men of Iudah, and among the
inhabitants of Ierusalem.
10 They are turned backe to the iniquities of
their forefathers, which refused to heare my
wordes: and they went after other gods to serue
them: thus the house of Israel, & the house of Iudah
haue broken my couenant, which I made
with their fathers.
11 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I
will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall
not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto
me, note I will not heare them.
12 Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants
of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the
gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they
shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their
trouble.
13 noteFor according to the number of thy cities
were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to
the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee
set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense
vnto Baal.
14 Therfore thou shalt not pray note for this people,
neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for
when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will
not heare them.
15 What shoulde my note beloued tarie in mine
house, seeing they haue committed abomination
with manie? and the holy flesh note goeth away
from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou
reioycest.
16 The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue
tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with note noyse
and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the
branches of it are broken.
17 For the Lorde of hostes that planted thee,
hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the
wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house
of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues
to prouoke me to anger in offering incense
vnto Baal.
18 And the Lorde hath taught me, and I
knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee note their
practises.
19 But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that
is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that
they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs
note destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut
him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name
may be no more in memory.
The wicked prosper.
20 But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously,
and triest the reines and the heart, let me see
thy note vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened
my cause.
21 The Lorde therefore speaketh thus of the
men of note Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say,
note Prophecie not in the Name of the Lorde, that
thou die not by our hands)
22 Thus therefore sayth the Lorde of hostes,
Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall
die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters
shall die by famine,
23 And none of them shall remaine: for I will
bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen
the yeere of their visitation.
