Jeremiah 16
16
Jeremiah’s Life-Style and Message
1The word of the Lord also came to me, saying, 2“You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.” 3For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them and their fathers who begot them in this land: 4“They shall die #Jer. 15:2gruesome deaths; they shall not be #Jer. 22:18; 25:33lamented nor shall they be #Jer. 14:16; 19:11buried, but they shall be #Ps. 83:10; Jer. 8:2; 9:22like refuse on the face of the earth. They shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, and their #Ps. 79:2; Is. 18:6; Jer. 7:33; 34:20corpses shall be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.”
5For thus says the Lord: #Ezek. 24:17, 22, 23“Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people,” says the Lord, “lovingkindness and mercies. 6Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried; #Jer. 22:18neither shall men lament for them, #Lev. 19:28; Deut. 14:1; Jer. 41:5; 47:5cut themselves, nor #Is. 22:12; Jer. 7:29make themselves bald for them. 7Nor shall men break bread in mourning for them, to comfort them for the dead; nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to #Prov. 31:6drink for their father or their mother. 8Also you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink.”
9For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, #Is. 24:7, 8; Jer. 7:34; 25:10; Ezek. 26:13; Hos. 2:11; Rev. 18:23I will cause to cease from this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10“And it shall be, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, #Deut. 29:24; 1 Kin. 9:8; Jer. 5:19‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them, #Deut. 29:25; 1 Kin. 9:9; 2 Chr. 7:22; Neh. 9:26–29; Jer. 22:9‘Because your fathers have forsaken Me,’ says the Lord; ‘they have walked after other gods and have served them and worshiped them, and have forsaken Me and not kept My law. 12And you have done #Jer. 7:26worse than your fathers, for behold, #Jer. 3:17; 18:12each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart, so that no one listens to Me. 13#Deut. 4:26; 28:36, 63Therefore I will cast you out of this land #Jer. 15:14into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night, where I will not show you favor.’
God Will Restore Israel
14“Therefore behold, the #Is. 43:18; Jer. 23:7, 8; (Ezek. 37:21–25)days are coming,” says the Lord, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ 15but, ‘The Lord lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the #Jer. 3:18north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For #Jer. 24:6; 30:3; 32:37I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.
16“Behold, I will send for many #Amos 4:2; Hab. 1:15fishermen,” says the Lord, “and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17For My #2 Chr. 16:9; Job 34:21; Ps. 90:8; Prov. 5:21; Jer. 23:24; 32:19; Zech. 4:10; (Luke 12:2; 1 Cor. 4:5); Heb. 4:13eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. 18And first I will repay #Is. 40:2; Jer. 17:18; Rev. 18:6double for their iniquity and their sin, because #(Ezek. 43:7)they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable idols.”
19O Lord, #Ps. 18:1, 2; Is. 25:4my strength and my fortress,
#Jer. 17:17My refuge in the day of affliction,
The Gentiles shall come to You
From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies,
Worthlessness and #Is. 44:10unprofitable things.”
20Will a man make gods for himself,
#Ps. 115:4–8; Is. 37:19; Jer. 2:11; 5:7; Hos. 8:4–6; Gal. 4:8Which are not gods?
21“Therefore behold, I will this once cause them to know,
I will cause them to know
My hand and My might;
And they shall know that #Ex. 15:3; Ps. 83:18; Is. 43:3; Jer. 33:2; Amos 5:8My name is the Lord.
