| 1 | The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, |
| 2 | Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; | Jer 11:6 Jer 34:13-16 Ex 19:5 2Ki 11:17 2Ki 23:2 2Ki 23:3 2Ch 23:16 2Ch 29:10 2Ch 34:31 |
| 3 | and say you to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who doesn`t hear the words of this covenant, | Dt 27:26 Dt 28:15-68 Dt 29:19 Dt 29:20 Ga 3:10-13 |
| 4 | which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God; | Jer 31:32 Ex 24:3-8 Dt 5:2 Dt 5:3 Dt 29:10-15 Ezk 20:6-12 Heb 8:8-10 |
| 5 | that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh. | Gn 22:16-18 Gn 26:3-5 Ps 105:9-11 |
| 6 | Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them. | Jer 3:12 Jer 7:2 Jer 19:2 Isa 58:1 Zc 7:7 |
| 7 | For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. | 1Sa 8:9 Eph 4:17 2Th 3:12 |
| 8 | Yet they didn`t obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn`t do them. | Jer 3:17 Jer 6:16 Jer 6:17 Jer 7:24 Jer 7:26 Jer 9:13 Jer 9:14 Jer 35:15 Jer 44:17 Ne 9:16 Ne 9:17 Ne 9:26 Ne 9:29 Ezk 20:8 Ezk 20:18-21 Zc 7:11 |
| 9 | Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | Jer 5:31 Jer 6:13 Jer 8:10 Ezk 22:25-31 Hos 6:9 Mic 3:11 Mic 7:2 Mic 7:3 Zep 3:1-4 Mt 21:38 Mt 21:39 Mt 26:3 Mt 26:4 Mt 26:15 Jn 11:53 Ac 23:12-15 |
| 10 | They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. | Jer 3:10 1Sa 15:11 2Ch 34:30-33 Hos 6:4 Hos 7:16 Zep 1:6 |
| 11 | Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them. | Jer 11:17 Jer 6:19 Jer 19:3 Jer 19:15 Jer 23:12 Jer 35:17 Jer 36:31 2Ki 22:16 2Ch 34:24 Ezk 7:5 |
| 12 | Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble. | Jer 2:28 Jer 44:17-27 Dt 32:37 Jg 10:14 2Ch 28:22 Isa 45:20 |
| 13 | For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal. | Jer 2:28 Jer 3:1 Jer 3:2 Dt 32:16 Dt 32:17 2Ki 23:4 2Ki 23:5 2Ki 23:13 Isa 2:8 Hos 12:11 |
| 14 | Therefore don`t you pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble. | Jer 7:16 Jer 14:11 Jer 15:1 Ex 32:10 Pr 26:24 Pr 26:25 1Jn 5:16 |
| 15 | What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked lewdness [with] many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice. | Lk 8:28 |
| 16 | Yahweh called your name, A green olive-tree, beautiful with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken. | Ps 52:8 Ro 11:17-24 |
| 17 | For Yahweh of Hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal. | Jer 2:21 Jer 12:2 Jer 24:6 Jer 42:10 Jer 45:4 2Sa 7:10 Ps 44:2 Ps 80:8 Ps 80:15 Isa 5:2 Isa 61:3 Ezk 17:5 |
| 18 | Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings. | Jer 11:19 1Sa 23:11 1Sa 23:12 2Ki 6:9 2Ki 6:10 2Ki 6:14-20 Ezk 8:6-18 Mt 21:3 Ro 3:7 |
| 19 | But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I didn`t know that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit of it, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. | Pr 7:22 Isa 53:7 |
| 20 | But, Yahweh of Hosts, who judge righteously, who try the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause. | Jer 12:1 Gn 18:25 Ps 98:9 Ac 17:31 |
| 21 | Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, that you not die by our hand; | Jer 12:5 Jer 12:6 Jer 20:10 Mic 7:6 Mt 10:21 Mt 10:34-36 Lk 4:24 |
| 22 | therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine; | Jer 9:21 Jer 18:21 2Ch 36:17 Lam 2:21 1Th 2:15 1Th 2:16 |
| 23 | and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. | Jer 11:19 Jer 44:27 Isa 14:20-22 |
