¶ The .vii. Chapter.
¶ Ieremy is commaunded to shewe vnto the people the
worde of God, whych trusteth in the outwarde seruyce
of the t&ebar;ple. The euelles that shall happen to the Iewes
for the despysynge of theyr prophetes, Sacryfyces doth
not the Lorde chefely require of the Iewes, but þt; they
shuld obey hys word.
A These are the wordes that God spake
vnto Ieremye: say&ebar;ge. noteSt&abar;de vnder
the gate of the Lordes house, and
crye out these wordes there &wt; a loude voyce,
and saye. Heare þe; worde of the Lord all
ye of Iuda, that go in at this dore, to worshyppe
the Lorde. Thus sayeth the Lord of
Hostes the God of Israell. noteAm&ebar;de youre
wayes ∧ your councels, and I wyll let you
dwell in this place. Trust not in false ly&ebar;ge
wordes, sayeng: here is þe; temple of þe; Lord,
here is the temple of the Lord, here is þe; temple
of the Lorde.
B But rather in deade am&ebar;de your wayes
and councels, note and iudge ryght betwixte
a man and his neyghbour: oppresse not the
stra&ubar;ger, þe; fatherles, ∧ the wyddowe: shede
not innocent bloud in thys place: cleue not
to stra&ubar;ge goddes to your awne destrucci&obar;:
then wyll I let you dwell in this place, yee,
in þe; l&abar;d that I gaue afore tyme vnto youre
fathers for euer. But take hede: ye trust in
lyinge tales, þt; begyle you ∧ do you no good.
For when ye haue stollen, murthured, commytted
aduoutry, ∧ periury. When ye haue
offred vnto Baal, folowyng straunge ∧
vnknowne goddes shall ye be vnpunyshed?
Yet then come ye, ∧ stande before me in this
house, note (which hath my name geuen vnto
it) ∧ saye. Tush, we are absolued quite, thoughe
we haue done all these abhominacy&obar;s.
C noteWhat? thyncke you this house þt; beareth
my name, is a denne of theues? noteAnd
yea I se what you thynke, sayeth the Lorde.
-- --
Go to my place in Siloh, note wherunto
I gaue my name a fore tyme, and loke well
note what I dyd to þe; same place for the wyckednes
of my people of Israell. And nowe,
though ye haue done all these dedes (sayeth
the Lorde) and I my self rose vp euer by tymes
to warne you ∧ to comen with you, yet
wolde ye not heare me. noteI called, ye wolde
not answere. And therfore, note euen as I haue
done vnto Siloh, so wyll I do to thys
house, that my name is geuen vnto (∧ that
ye put youre trust in) ye vnto þe; place that
I haue geuen to you and your fathers.
D And
I shal thrust you out of my syght, note as I ha
e
cast out all youre brethren the whole sede
of Ephraim.
noteTherfore, thou shalt not praye for thys
people, thou shalt nether geue th&abar;ckes, nor
byd prayer for them: þu; shalt make no intercession
to me for them, for in no wyse wyll
I heare þe;. Seyst þu; not what they do in the
cyties of Iuda, ∧ in þe; streats of Ierusalem.
noteThe chyldren gather styckes, the fathers
kyndle þe; fyre, þe; women kneade þe; dowghe,
to bake cakes for the quene of heauen.
They poure out drynckoffrynges vnto
stra&ubar;ge goddes, to prouok me vnto wrath.
Howbeit they hurte not me (sayeth þe; lord)
but rather c&obar;founde, ∧ shame them selues.
And therfore thus sayeth the Lord God:
behold, my wrath ∧ my indignacion shalbe
poured out vp&obar; this place, vp&obar; men ∧ catell
vpon þe; trees in þe; felde ∧ frute of þe; l&abar;de, ∧ it
shall burne so þt; no man maye quench it.
E Thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes þe; God
of Israel: &rhand; Heape vp your note burnt offrynges
wyth your sacrifyces, and eate þe; fleshe.
noteFor when I brought youre fathers out
of Egypt, I spake no worde vnto them of
burnt offrynges ∧ sacryfyces: but this I c&obar;maunded
them, sayinge: note herken ∧ obeye
my voyce, and I shalbe youre God, and ye
shall be my people: so that ye walcke in all
the wayes, whych I haue c&obar;maunded you,
that ye maye prospere.
noteBut they were not obedi&ebar;t, they inclyned
not theyr eares there vnto, but w&ebar;t after
theyr awne ymagynacyons ∧ after the
mocyons of theyr awne wycked herte, ∧ so
turned them selues awaye, and conuerted
not vnto me. And this haue they done, fr&obar;
the tyme that youre fathers came out of
Egypt, vnto thys daye.
F noteNeuertheles, I sent vnto you, all my seruauntes
þe; prophetes. I rose vp early, ∧ sent
you worde, yet wolde they not herken, ner
offre me theyr eares, but were obstynate, ∧
worse then theyr fathers. And þu; shalt now
speake al these wordes vnto them, but they
shall not heare the: þu; shalt crye vpon them,
but they shall not answere the. Therfore,
shalt thou saye vnto them: this is the people,
þt; nether heareth the voyce of the Lorde
theyr God, ner receaueth hys correccyon.
noteFaythfulnesse and treuth is cleane roted
out of theyr mouth.
G noteWherfore cut of thyne hearre O Ierusalem,
∧ cast it awaye, take vp a c&obar;playnte
on hye, for þe; Lord hath cast awaye, and scatred
þe; people þt; he is displeased withall. For
the chyldren of Iuda haue done euell in my
syght, sayeth the Lord. noteThey haue set vp
theyr abhominacy&obar;s, in þe; house þt; hath my
name, and haue defyled it. They haue also
buylded an aulter at note Topheth, which is
in the valley of þe; chyldren of Hennom: that
they myght burne theyr sonnes ∧ daughters
in fyre, which I neuer c&obar;ma&ubar;ded them,
nether came it euer in my thought. And
therfore beholde, þe; dayes shall come (sayeth
the Lorde) þt; it shall nomore be called Topheth,
or þe; valley of þe; chyldren of H&ebar;nom,
but the valley of slaughter, note for in Topheth,
they shalbe buried, because they shall
els haue no rowme. noteYee, the deed bodyes
of this people shalbe eaten vp of the foules
of the ayre ∧ wylde beastes of the erth, and
no man shall fraye them awaye. noteAnd as
for þe; voyce of myrth ∧ gladnes of þe; cytyes
of Iuda, ∧ Ierusalem, the voyce of þe; brydegrome,
and of the bryde. I wyll make them
ceasse, for the lande shalbe desolate.
