Jeremiah 7

English Standard Version



1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “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. (Jer 26:2) 3 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. (Jer 18:11; Jer 26:13) 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’ (Jer 7:8) 5 “For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, (De 24:14; Jer 22:3) 6 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, (De 6:14; Jer 7:5; Jer 13:10; Jer 25:6) 7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever. (De 4:40; Jer 3:18) 8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, (Jer 1:16; Jer 5:2; Jer 7:6; Ho 4:1) 10 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? (Jer 32:34; Jer 34:15) 11 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. (Isa 56:7; Jer 7:10; Eze 7:22; Mt 21:13; Mr 11:17; Lu 19:46) 12 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. (De 12:11; Jud 18:31; 1Sa 1:3; 1Sa 4:3; Ps 78:60; Jer 26:6) 13 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, (2Ch 36:15; Pr 1:24; Isa 50:2; Isa 65:12; Jer 7:25; Jer 7:27) 14 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. (De 12:5; 1Ki 9:7; Jer 7:10; Jer 7:12) 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim. (2Ki 17:6; 2Ki 17:23; Ps 78:67; Jer 7:14; Ho 4:17; Ho 5:3; Ho 5:9; Ho 6:4; Ho 12:1) 16 “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. (Ex 32:10; De 9:14; Jer 11:14; Jer 14:11; 1Jo 5:16) 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 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. (De 32:16; De 32:21; 1Ki 14:9; 1Ki 16:2; 2Ki 23:13; 2Ch 34:25; Jer 11:17; Jer 19:13; Jer 44:17; Jer 44:19; Ho 7:4) 19 Is it I whom they provoke? declares the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own shame? (Job 35:6; Jer 51:51) 20 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.” (2Ch 34:25; Jer 17:27; Jer 42:18; Jer 44:6; La 4:11) 21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. (Jer 6:20) 22 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. (Ho 6:6) 23 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.’ (Ex 15:26; Le 26:12; De 4:40; De 5:33; De 6:3; Jer 11:4; Jer 11:7; Jer 42:6) 24 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. (Ps 81:11; Ps 81:12; Jer 2:19; Jer 2:27; Jer 3:17; Jer 8:5; Jer 15:6; Jer 32:33; Ho 4:16) 25 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. (2Ch 36:15) 26 Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers. (2Ch 30:8; Jer 7:24; Jer 16:12) 27 “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. (Jer 1:17; Jer 7:13) 28 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. (Jer 9:3) 29 “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.’ (Job 1:20; Jer 3:2) 



30 “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. (2Ki 21:4; 2Ki 21:7; Jer 7:10; Jer 19:5; Jer 32:34; Eze 5:11; Eze 7:20) 31 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. (De 17:3; Jos 18:16; 2Ki 23:10; Ps 106:38; Jer 7:21; Jer 31:40) 32 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. (Jer 7:31; Jer 19:6; Jer 19:11; Eze 6:5) 33 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. (De 28:26; Ps 79:2; Isa 17:2; Jer 12:9; Jer 16:4; Jer 19:7; Jer 34:20) 34 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. (Le 26:31; Le 26:33; Ps 78:63; Isa 24:7; Jer 16:9; Jer 25:10; Jer 27:17; Jer 44:2; Jer 44:6; Eze 26:13; Ho 2:11; Re 18:22)

الكتاب المقدس



1 هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ لإِرْمِيَا: 2 «قِفْ فِي بَابِ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ وَأَعْلِنْ هُنَاكَ هَذَا الْكَلامَ: اسْمَعُوا كَلامَ الرَّبِّ يَا جَمِيعَ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا الْمُجْتَازِينَ هَذِهِ الأَبْوَابَ لِيَسْجُدُوا لِلرَّبِّ: 3 هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ القَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: قَوِّمُوا طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ فَأُسْكِنَكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ. 4 لَا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى أَقْوَالِ الْكَذِبِ قَائِلِينَ: هَذَا هَيْكَلُ الرَّبِّ: هَذَا هَيْكَلُ الرَّبِّ 5 لَكِنْ إِنْ قَوَّمْتُمْ حَقّاً طُرُقَكُمْ وَأَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَأَجْرَيْتُمْ قَضَاءً عَادِلاً فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ، 6 إِنْ لَمْ تَجُورُوا عَلَى الْغَرِيبِ وَالْيَتِيمِ وَالأَرْمَلَةِ، وَلَمْ تَسْفِكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَضِلُّوا وَرَاءَ الأَوْثَانِ مُسِيئِينَ بِذَلِكَ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ، 7 عِنْدَئِذٍ أُسْكِنُكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لِآبَائِكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. 8 هَا أَنْتُمْ قَدِ اتَّكَلْتُمْ عَلَى أَقْوَالِ الْكَذِبِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَدْوَى. 9 أَتَسْرِقُونَ وَتَقْتُلُونَ وَتَزْنُونَ وَتَحْلِفُونَ زُوراً وَتُبَخِّرُونَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَتَضِلُّونَ وَرَاءَ الأَوْثَانِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَعْرِفُوهَا، 10 ثُمَّ تَمْثُلُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِي فِي هَذَا الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي قَائِلِينَ: ’قَدْ نَجَوْنَا‘؛ ثُمَّ تَرْتَكِبُونَ جَمِيعَ هَذِهِ الرَّجَاسَاتِ؟ 11 هَلْ أَصْبَحَ هَذَا الْهَيْكَلُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي، مَغَارَةَ لُصُوصٍ فِي أَعْيُنِكُمْ؟ هَا أَنَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُ كُلَّ هَذَا الشَّرِّ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. 12 «لَكِنِ امْضُوا إِلَى مَوْضِعِي فِي شِيلُوهَ، حَيْثُ جَعَلْتُ فِيهِ مَقَرّاً لاِسْمِي أَوَّلاً، وَشَاهِدُوا مَا فَعَلْتُ بِهِ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ شَرِّ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. 13 وَالآنَ لأَنَّكُمُ ارْتَكَبْتُمْ هَذِهِ الشُّرُورَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ تَحْذِيرَاتِي الْمُبَكِّرَةِ الَّتِي أَبَيْتُمْ الاسْتِمَاعَ لَهَا، وَرَفَضْتُمُ الاسْتِجَابَةَ لِدَعْوَتِي، 14 فَإِنَّ مَا أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِشِيلُوهَ سَأُنْزِلُهُ بِالْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي وَالَّذِي عَلَيْهِ تَتَّكِلُونَ، وَبِالْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَهَبْتُهُ لَكُمْ وَلِآبَائِكُمْ، 15 وَأَطْرَحُكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي كَمَا طَرَحْتُ جَمِيعَ أَقْرِبَائِكُمْ، جَمِيعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ أَفْرَايِمَ. 16 أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلا تُصَلِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ وَلا تَرْفَعْ لأجْلِهِمْ دُعَاءً وَلا ابْتِهَالاً، وَلا تَتَشَفَّعْ لَهُمْ لأَنِّي لَنْ أَسْتَجِيبَ لَكَ. 17 أَلا تَشْهَدُ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ فِي مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَفِي شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ 18 الأَبْنَاءُ يَلْتَقِطُونَ الْحَطَبَ وَالآبَاءُ يُشْعِلُونَ النَّارَ، وَالنِّسَاءُ يَعْجِنَّ الدَّقِيقَ لِيَصْنَعْنَ أَقْرَاصاً مِنْهَا لِعَشْتَارُوثَ إِلَهَةِ السَّمَاءِ، وَيَسْكُبُوا سَكَائِبَ لِآلِهَةِ الأَوْثَانِ لِيُغِيظُونِي. 19 هَلْ أَنَا حَقّاً الَّذِي يُغِيظُونَهُ؟ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. أَلا يُسِيئُونَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى ذَوَاتِهِمْ عَامِلِينَ عَلَى خِزْيِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ 20 لِذَلِكَ يُعْلِنُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ: هَا غَضَبِي وَسَخَطِي يَنْصَبَّانِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، وَعَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَالأَشْجَارِ وَالْحُقُولِ وَأَثْمَارِ الأَرْضِ، فَيَتَّقِدَانِ وَلا يَخْمُدَانِ». 21 وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَضِيفُوا مُحْرَقَاتِكُمْ إِلَى ذَبَائِحِكُمْ وَكُلُوا لَحْمَهَا. 22 فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُكَلِّمْ آبَاءَكُمْ وَلَمْ آمُرْهُمْ يَوْمَ أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِشَأْنِ مُحْرَقَةٍ أَوْ ذَبِيحَةٍ 23 إِنَّمَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُطِيعُوا صَوْتِي فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهاً، وَيَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَنْ يَسْلُكُوا فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، فَيَنَالُوا خَيْراً. 24 إِلّا أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا وَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ سَلَكُوا بِمُقْتَضَى مَشُورَاتِ قُلُوبِهِمِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ وَعِنَادِهِمْ، وَأَدَارُوا لِي ظُهُورَهُمْ بَدَلَ وُجُوهِهِمْ. 25 فَمُنْذُ أَنْ خَرَجَ آبَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، ثَابَرْتُ عَلَى إِرْسَالِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ لِيُنْذِرُوهُمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. 26 وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يُطِيعُونِي أَوْ يَسْمَعُونِي، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ قَسَّوْا قُلُوبَهُمْ، فَكَانُوا فِي تَصَرُّفِهِمْ أَشَرَّ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ. 27 وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا تُكَلِّمُهُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْعِبَارَاتِ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَسْمَعُوا، وَتَدْعُوهُمْ فَلا يُجِيبُونَكَ. 28 فَتَقُولُ لَهُمْ: هَذِهِ هِيَ الأُمَّةُ الَّتِي تَعْصَى صَوْتَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهَا، وَلا تَقْبَلُ التَّأْدِيبَ. لَقَدْ تَلاشَى الْحَقُّ وَانْقَطَعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ. 29 جُزِّي شَعْرَكِ وَاطْرَحِيهِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَانْصُبِي مَرْثَاةً عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الْجَرْدَاءِ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ رَفَضَ هَذَا الْجِيلَ الرَّازِحَ تَحْتَ سَخَطِهِ». 



30 «لأَنَّ ذُرِّيَّةَ يَهُوذَا قَدِ ارْتَكَبَتِ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَأَقَامَتْ أَوْثَانَهَا الرِّجْسَةَ فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بِاسْمِي، لِتُدَنِّسَهُ. 31 وَشَيَّدَ الشَّعْبُ مَعَابِدَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ تُوفَةَ الْقَائِمَةَ فِي وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، لِيَحْرِقُوا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ، مِمَّا لَمْ آمُرْ بِهِ وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ لِي عَلَى بَالٍ. 32 لِذَلِكَ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ»، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، «يُمْحَى فِيهَا اسْمُ تُوفَةَ، وَيَتَلاشَى اسْمُ وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، وَيُدْعَى ’وَادِي الْقَتْلِ‘ لأَنَّهُمْ سَيَدْفِنُونَ الْمَوْتَى فِي تُوفَةَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى فِيهَا مُتَّسَعٌ بَعْدُ، 33 وَتُصْبِحُ جُثَثُ هَذَا الشَّعْبِ طَعَاماً لِجَوَارِحِ السَّمَاءِ وَلِوُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يَزْجُرُهَا. 34 وَأُلاشِي مِنْ مُدُنِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ شَوَارِعِ أُورُشَلِيمَ أَهَازِيجَ الطَّرَبِ وَأَصْدَاءَ الْفَرَحِ، وَأَصْوَاتَ بَهْجَةِ الْعَرِيِسِ وَالْعَرُوسِ، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ يَعُمُّهَا الْخَرَابُ».
