	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	These are the wordes that God spake vnto Ieremie, saying:	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:	This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2	Stande vnder the gate of the Lordes house, & crye out these wordes there with a loude voyce, and say, Heare the word of the Lorde all ye of Iuda, that go in at this doore to worship the Lorde:	“Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD.	“Stand at the gate of the LORD’s house and there proclaim this message: “’Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the LORD.
3	Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes, the God of Israel: Amende your wayes and your counsels, and I wyll let you dwell in this place.	Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place.	This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place.
4	Trust not in false lying words, saying: Here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lorde:	Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’	Do not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD!”
5	But rather in deede amende your wayes and counsels, and iudge right betwixt a man and his neighbour,	“For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another,	If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly,
6	Oppresse not the straunger, the fatherlesse, and the widowe, shed not innocent blood in this place, cleaue not to straunge gods to your owne destruction:	if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,	if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,
7	Then wyll I let you dwell in this place, yea in the land that I gaue afore tyme to your fathers for euer.	then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.	then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors for ever and ever.
8	But take heede, ye trust in lying tales, that beguile you and do you no good.	“Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.	But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.
9	For when ye haue stollen, murthered, committed adultrie and periurie, when ye haue offered vnto Baal, folowing straunge and vnknowen gods: shall ye be vnpunished?	Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,	“’Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known,
10	Yet then come ye and stande before me in this house (whiche hath my name geuen vnto it) and say, tushe, we are absolued quite, though we haue done all these abhominations.	and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations?	and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe\|—safe to do all these detestable things?
11	What, thinke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of thieues? And yet I see what you thinke, saith the Lorde.	Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the LORD.	Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the LORD.
12	Go to my place in Silo, wherevnto I gaue my name aforetyme, and looke well what I did to the same place for the wickednesse of my people of Israel.	Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.	“’Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13	And now seing ye haue done all these deedes saith the Lorde, and I my selfe rose vp euer betimes to warne you and to commune with you, yet would ye not heare me, I called, ye would not aunswere:	And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,	While you were doing all these things, declares the LORD, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer.
14	Therefore, euen as I haue done vnto Silo, so wyll I do to this house that my name is geuen vnto, and that you put your trust in, yea vnto the place that I haue geuen to you and your fathers:	therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.	Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors.
15	And I shal thrust you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren the whole seede of Ephraim.	And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim.	I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’
16	Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, thou shalt neither geue thankes nor bid prayer for them: make thou no intercession for them, for in no wise will I heare thee.	“As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you.	“So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.
17	Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Iuda, and in the streetes of Hierusalem?	Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?	Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18	The chyldren gather stickes, the fathers kindle the fire, the wome kneade the dough to bake cakes for the queene of heauen: they powre out drinke offeringes vnto straunge gods, to prouoke me vnto wrath.	The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. And they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.	The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger.
19	Howbeit they hurt not me saith the Lord, but rather confounde and shame them selues.	Is it I whom they provoke? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves, to their own shame?	But am I the one they are provoking? declares the LORD. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?
20	And therefore thus saith the Lorde God: Beholde, my wrath and indignation shalbe powred out vpon this place, vpon men and cattell, vpon trees in the fielde, and fruite of the lande: and it shall burne, so that no man may quench it.	Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched.”	“’Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place—on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the crops of your land—and it will burn and not be quenched.
21	Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes the God of Israel: Heape vp your burnt offeringes with your sacrifices, and eate the fleshe.	Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.	“’This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
22	For when I brought your fathers out of Egypt, I spake no worde vnto them of burnt offeringes and sacrifices:	For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.	For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
23	But this I commaunded them, saying, Hearken and obay my voyce, and I shalbe your God, and ye shalbe my people, so that ye walke in al the wayes whiche I haue commaunded you, that ye may prosper.	But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’	but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.
24	But they were not obedient, they inclined not their eares there vnto: but went after their owne imaginations, and after the motions of their owne wicked heart, and so turned them selues away, and conuerted not vnto me.	But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.	But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
25	And this haue they done from the tyme that your fathers came out of Egypt, vnto this day: Neuerthelesse, I sent vnto you all my seruauntes the prophetes, I rose vp early, and sent you worde.	From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day.	From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets.
26	Yet woulde they not hearken nor offer me their eares, but were obstinate, and worse then their fathers.	Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.	But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’
27	And thou shalt nowe speake all these wordes vnto them, but they shall not heare thee: thou shalt crye vpon them, but they shall not aunswere thee.	“So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.	“When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.
28	Therefore shalt thou say vnto them, This is the people that neither heareth the voyce of the Lorde their God, nor receaueth his correction: faythfulnesse and trueth is cleane rooted out of their mouth.	And you shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.	Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.
29	Wherefore cut of thine heere, O Hierusalem, and cast it away, take vp a complaint on hye: for the Lorde hath cast away and forsaken the people that he is displeased withall.	“‘Cut off your hair and cast it away; raise a lamentation on the bare heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.’	“’Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath.
30	For the chyldren of Iuda haue done euyll in my sight, saith the Lorde: they haue set vp their abhominations in the house that hath my name, and haue defiled it:	“For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight, declares the LORD. They have set their detestable things in the house that is called by my name, to defile it.	“’The people of Judah have done evil in my eyes, declares the LORD. They have set up their detestable idols in the house that bears my Name and have defiled it.
31	They haue also buylded an aulter at Topheth, whiche is in the valley of the chyldren of Hennom, that they might burne their sonnes and daughters in fire: whiche I neuer commaunded them, neither came it euer in my thought.	And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.	They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.
32	And therfore beholde the dayes shall come (saith the Lorde) that it shall no more be called Topheth, or the valley of the chyldren of Hennom, but the valley of slaughter: for in Topheth they shall be buried, because they shall els haue no roome.	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when it will no more be called Topheth, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere.	So beware, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, for they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
33	Yea the dead bodyes of this people shalbe eaten vp of the foules of the ayre, and wylde beastes of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.	And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and none will frighten them away.	Then the carcasses of this people will become food for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
34	And as for the voyce of mirth and gladnesse of the cities of Iuda and Hierusalem, the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride, I wyll make them ceasse: for the lande shalbe desolate.	And I will silence in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, for the land shall become a waste.	I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.
