1	The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lorde, saying,	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:	This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2	Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates 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 sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will 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 lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lorde, the Temple of the Lorde: this is the Temple of the Lord.	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	For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene 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	And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your 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 will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and 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	Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.	“Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.	But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.
9	Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?	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	And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?	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	Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.	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	But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people 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	Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lorde, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).	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 will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you & to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.	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 will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen 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, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not 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 doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?	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 children gather wood, & the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.	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	Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lorde, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?	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	Therefore thus sayeth the Lorde God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.	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 sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.	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 I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commaunded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings 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 thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commaunded you, that it may be well vnto you.	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 would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.	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	Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.	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 would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke & did 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	Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere 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	But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lorde their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone 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	Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lorde hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.	“‘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 children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lorde: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute 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	And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes & their daughters in the fire, which I commaunded them not, neither came it in mine heart.	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	Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.	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	And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie 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	Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth & the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom & the voice of the bride: 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.
