 <div class="p">1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2&#8220;Listen to the terms of this covenant and tell them to the people of Judah and to those who live in Jerusalem. 3Tell them that this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: &#8216;Cursed is the one who does not obey the terms of this covenant&#8212; 4the terms I commanded your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Obey me and do everything I command you, and you will be my people, and I will be your God. 5Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey&#8217;&#8212;the land you possess today.&#8221;</div><div class="p">I answered, &#8220;Amen, Lord.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 6The Lord said to me, &#8220;Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: &#8216;Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them. 7From the time I brought your ancestors up from Egypt until today, I warned them again and again, saying, &#8220;Obey me.&#8221; 8But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubbornness of their evil hearts. So I brought on them all the curses of the covenant I had commanded them to follow but that they did not keep.&#8217;&#8198;&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 9Then the Lord said to me, &#8220;There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. 10They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors. 11Therefore this is what the Lord says: &#8216;I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them. 12The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they will not help them at all when disaster strikes. 13You, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.&#8217;</div><div class="p"> 14&#8220;Do not pray for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their distress.</div><div class="q1"> 15&#8220;What is my beloved doing in my temple</div><div class="q2">as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes?</div><div class="q2">Can consecrated meat avert your punishment?</div><div class="q1">When you engage in your wickedness,</div><div class="q2">then you rejoice.#11:15 Or Could consecrated meat avert your punishment? / Then you would rejoice&#8221;</div><div class="b"></div><div class="q1"> 16The Lord called you a thriving olive tree</div><div class="q2">with fruit beautiful in form.</div><div class="q1">But with the roar of a mighty storm</div><div class="q2">he will set it on fire,</div><div class="q2">and its branches will be broken.</div><div class="m"> 17The Lord Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused my anger by burning incense to Baal.</div><div class="s1">Plot Against Jeremiah</div><div class="p"> 18Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing. 19I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying,</div><div class="q1">&#8220;Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;</div><div class="q2">let us cut him off from the land of the living,</div><div class="q2">that his name be remembered no more.&#8221;</div><div class="q1"> 20But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously</div><div class="q2">and test the heart and mind,</div><div class="q1">let me see your vengeance on them,</div><div class="q2">for to you I have committed my cause.</div><div class="p"> 21Therefore this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are threatening to kill you, saying, &#8220;Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord or you will die by our hands&#8221;&#8212; 22therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: &#8220;I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine. 23Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.&#8221;</div>
