¶ The .xi. Chapter.
¶ A cursse of them that obey not the worde of Goddes
promesse. The people of Iuda folowyng the steppes of
theyr fathers, worshyppeth straunge Goddes. The Lorde
sayeth that he wyll not heare the Iewes, and forbyddeth
also Ieremy to praye for them.
A Thys is another Sermon, whych
the Lorde c&obar;ma&ubar;ded Ieremy for
to preach, saying: Heare the wordes
&rhand; of the couenaunt, ∧ speake
vnto þe; men of Iuda, ∧ to all th&ebar; that dwell
at Ierusalem. And saye thou vnto them.
Thus sayeth þe; Lord God of Israell: note Cursed
be euery one þt; is not obedi&ebar;t vnto þe; wordes
of this couenaunt: whych I c&obar;ma&ubar;ded
vnto youre fathers, what tyme as I broughte
them out of Egipt, from þe; yron fornace,
saying: note Be obedient vnto my voyce,
∧ do acordynge to all þt; I c&obar;maunde you: so
shall ye be my people, ∧ I wilbe youre God,
and wyll kepe my promyse, note that I haue
sworne vnto youre fathers. Namely, that
I wolde geue them a lande which floweth
&wt; mylck ∧ hony: as ye se, it is come to passe
vnto this day. Then answered I, and sayd:
Amen. &rhand; Let it be euen so Lorde, as thou
sayest.
B Then the Lorde sayde vnto me agayne:
Preache this in the cyties of Iuda ∧ ro&ubar;de
aboute Ierusalem, ∧ saye. Heare þe; wordes
of this couena&ubar;t, that ye maye kepe them.
for I haue dilig&ebar;tly exhorted your fathers,
euer sence þe; tyme that I brought them out
of þe; land of Egypt, vnto this daye. I gaue
them warnyng by tymes, saying: herken
vnto my voyce. noteNeuertheles, they wolde
not obeye me, nor encline theyr eares vnto
me, but folowed the wicked ymaginacions
of theyr awne hertes. And therfore, I haue
accused th&ebar; as transgressours of all þe; wordes
of this couenaunt, that I gaue them to
kepe which they (notwithstandinge) haue
not kepte.
And the Lorde sayde vnto me. It is fo&ubar;de
out, that whole Israel and all these citezins
of Ierusalem are gone backe. They haue
turned them selues to the blasphemyes
of theyr forefathers, which had no lust to
heare my worde. Euen lykewyse haue these
also folowed straunge goddes, and worshypped
them.
C The house of Israel ∧ Iuda
haue broken my couena&ubar;t, which I made
with theyr fathers.
Therfore, thus sayeth þe; Lord. Behold,
I wyll sende a plage vpon th&ebar;, which they
shall not be able to escape: ∧ thoughe they
crye vnto me, I wyl not heare th&ebar;. noteThen
shall the townes of Iuda ∧ the citezins of
Ierusalem go, ∧ call vpon note theyr goddes
vnto whom they made theyr oblacy&obar;s: but
they shall not be able to helpe them in tyme
of theyr trouble. noteFor as many cyties
as þu; hast, O Iuda, so many goddes hast þu;
had also. And loke how many stretes there
be in þe;, (O Ierusalem) so many shamefull
aulters haue ye set vp, aulters I saye to offre
vpon th&ebar; vnto Baal. noteTherfore, praye
not þu; for this people, byd nether prayse ner
prayer for th&ebar;, for though they crie vnto me
in theyr trouble, yet will I not heare them.
What parte hath my beloued in my house,
seinge he hathe worked abominacion seruynge
many goddes? noteThe holy fleash offringes
in the t&ebar;ple ar goone fr&obar; the O Iuda,
and thou when thou hast done euell makest
thy boast of ytt. noteThe Lorde called þe;
a grene olyue tre, a fayre one, a frutefull
one, a goodly one: but with greate clamor
hath the enemy sett fyre vppon it and the
br&abar;ches of yt are destroyed. For the Lorde
of Hoostes that planted the, hath deuysed a
plage for the (O thou house of Israell and
Iuda) for þe; euell that ye haue done to prouoke
hym to wrath, in that ye dyd seruyce
vnto Baal.
D This (O Lord) haue I lerned of the, and
vnderst&abar;d it, for thou hast shewed me theyr
ymaginacy&obar;s. noteBut I am (as a meke lambe
an oxe) that is caryed awaye to be slayne,
not knowynge, þt; they had deuysed soch
a councell agaynst me, sayeng: note We wyll
destroye his meate with wodd, ∧ dryue him
out of þe; land, of þe; lyuyng: þt; his name shall
neuer be thought vpon. Therfore, note I will
beseche the now (O Lord of hoostes) thou
ryghteous iudge, thou that tryest þe; reynes
∧ the hertes: lett me se the au&ebar;ged of them,
for vnto þe; haue I c&obar;mitted my cause. note The
Lorde therfore spake thus of the cytezins
of Anathoth, that sought to slaye me, say&ebar;ge: note
Preache not vnto vs in the name of þe;
Lord, or els þu; shalt dye of our h&abar;des. Thus
(I saye) spake þe; Lorde of hoostes. Behold,
-- --
I wyll vyset you. Youre younge men shall
perysh with þe; swearde, your sonnes ∧ your
daughters shall vtterly dye of honger, so þt;
none shall remayne. For vpon the cytezins
of Anathoth will I bryng a plage, euen the
yeare of theyr vysytacyon.
