1The word that came to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] from the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, 2Hear you^2f the words of this Covenant, and speak unto the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; 3And say youⁱ unto them, Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; Cursed [be] the man that obeys not the words of this covenant, 4Which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you^2f be my people, and I will be your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: 5That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

6Then the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and in the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], saying, Hear you^2f the words of this covenant, and do them. 7For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], [even] unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked everyone in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] not.

9And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and among the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 10They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. 12Then shall the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 13For [according to] the number of yourⁱ cities were yourⁱ gods, O Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; and [according to] the number of the streets of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] have you^2f set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn incense unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)].

14Therefore pray not youⁱ for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

15What has my beloved to do in my house, [seeing] she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from youⁱ? when youⁱ do evil, then youⁱ rejoice.

16The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) called youⁱ name, A green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

17For the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], that planted youⁱ, has pronounced evil against youⁱ, for the evil of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and of the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)].

18And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me knowledge [of it], and I know [it]: then youⁱ showed me their doings.

19But I [was] like a lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

20But, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], that judge righteously, that try the reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) and the heart, let me see yourⁱ vengeance on them: for unto youⁱ have I revealed my cause.

21Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) of the men of ‘Anatot [answers to prayer], that seek yourⁱ life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that youⁱ die not by our hand: 22Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: 23And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of ‘Anatot [answers to prayer], [even] the year of their visitation.
