Commentary on Jeremiah Volume 1 John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
Jeremiah 19:14-15
14. Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whether the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,
14. Et venit (reversus est) Jeremias e Thopheth, quo miserat eum Jehova ad prophetandum; et stetit in atrio domus Jehovae, et dixit ad totum populum,
15. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
15. Sic dicit Jehova exercituum, Deus Israel, Ecce ego adduco super urbem hanc et super omnes urbes ejus omne malum quod loquutus sum super eam, quia obduraverunt cervicem suam, ut non audirent sermones meos.
Jeremiah had been led to the very place, when he foretold the punishment, which was nigh at hand, on account of the superstitions of Tophet or of the valley of Hinnom.
That his doctrine might be more efficacious, God intended that he should preach before the very altar and in the very valley, then well known for ungodly and false modes of worship. He says now that he went to the Temple and delivered there the same message. We hence learn how great must have been the stupidity and indifference of the people, for the repetition of the prophecy was not unnecessary.
For as God knew that the Jews were extremely tardy and slow, he caused them to be warned twice by his servant, and in two different places.
Jeremiah, it is said, returned from Tophet, where God had sent him to prophesy; which last words were added, that we may not suppose that he without reason preached in the valley of Hinnom. God then commanded Jeremiah to denounce there, as it were in the very place, on the Jews their own destruction. And he stood, it is added, in the court of Jehovah's house. As it was not lawful for the people to enter into the Temple, they usually assembled in the court, which was a part of the
Temple. Then Jeremiah stood there; for he had to speak, not to a few, or in a corner, but to the whole people, and to make them witnesses of his prophecy. But we read here nothing new; for, as it has been stated, he was bidden to declare twice the same thing --- the approaching calamity; and he was so bidden, because the Jews were so hardened, that they could not easily be moved. That he connects other cities with
Jerusalem is not to be wondered at; he thereby intimates, that the whole land was guilty before God, and that therefore desolation was near at hand, as to all the towns and cities; as though he had said, ``God will not spare Jerusalem, though it has been hitherto his sanctuary; but as lesser cities are not innocent, they shall also feel the hand of God together with Jerusalem.''
The reason is subjoined, Because they have hardened their neck. He again confirms what we have before observed, --- that they had fallen, not through ignorance, but through perverseness; for they had learned with sufficient clearness from the law what was right, and they had also been often warned by the prophets. Hence then their wickedness appeared and their untameable spirit, for they had heard the sound doctrine of the law, and had many to warn them.
Now this passage teaches us that there is no pardon left for us, when we, as it were, avowedly reject the yoke of God. And this ought to be carefully noticed, for
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
we see how difficult it is to subdue men, even when they confess that the word of
God is what they hear. Since then there is in all mankind an innate perverseness, that hardly one in a hundred allows himself to be ruled by God's word, it behoves us seriously to consider what is here said, --- that they are unworthy of mercy who harden their neck. Hence it is said in Psalm 95:8,
not your hearts like your fathers.''
And a clearer definition follows, That they might not hear my words. Though there be hardness in all mortals, yet when the doctrine of salvation is made known and not received, then a greater impiety and pride shew themselves; for in that case, men hear God speaking, and yet rob him of his authority. It then follows, that the more clearly God makes known his truth, the less ground of excuse there is; for then especially comes to light the impiety of men, and their disdain seems incapable of being subdued.
PRAYER
Grant, Almighty God, that since thou hast been pleased to prescribe a rule for us, by which we may truly and purely worship thee, --- O grant, that we may follow this plain rule, and never indulge our own imaginations, nor trifle with thee through our own fancies or through the foolish wisdom of our flesh, but continue in thy law, and in the doctrine which thine only-begotten Son, our Lord, has delivered to us, so that we may advance more and more in the knowledge of that glory, the foretaste of which thou givest us now, until we shall at length fully and perfectly enjoy it, when we shall be gathered into that celestial kingdom, which thy Son has procured for us by his own blood. --- Amen.

CHAPTER 1
1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in
Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin:
2 Even the word of Jehovah came to him in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon,
The king of Judah, in the tenth year of his reign;
3 And it came in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, to the transmigration of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ---
5 Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee; Before thou camest forth from the womb, I sanctified thee; A prophet to the nations have I made thee.
6 And I said, --- Ah! Lord Jehovah, Behold, I know not how to speak, for I am a child.
7 And Jehovah said to me, --- Say not, I am a child; For wheresoever I send thee, thou shalt go; And whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt say:
8 Fear not their face, for I am with thee, To deliver thee, saith Jehovah.
9 And Jehovah extended his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said to me, --- Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth;
10 See, I have set thee today Over nations and over kingdoms, To pull down and to destroy, To root up and to demolish, To build and to plant. (1:47)
11 Then the word of Jehovah came to me saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And
I said, The rod of a watcher is what I see.
12 Then Jehovah said to me, Thou hast rightly seen, for I watch over my word to do it.
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me again, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A pot boiling is what I see; its face is towards the north.
14 And Jehovah said to me, --- From the north shall break forth an evil On all the
JOHN CALVIN
inhabitants of the land:
15 For behold, I am calling all the families Of the kingdoms of the north, saith
Jehovah; And they shall come, and set shall each his throne, At the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, And on all its walls around, And on all the cities of Judah:
16 And I will execute my judgments on them For all their wickedness; Because they have forsaken me, And have burnt incense to strange gods, And bowed down to the works of their own hands. (1:58)
17 Thou then, gird thy loins and arise, And speak to them whatsoever I command thee; Fear not their face, Lest I dismay thee before them.
18 And I, behold I have made thee this day A fortified city, an iron pillar, And a brazen wall, as to the whole land, Against the kings of Judah, Against his princes, against his priests, Against the people of the land:
19 And they shall fight with thee, But shall not prevail over thee, For with thee am I, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.

CHAPTER
1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ---
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, Saying, Thus saith Jehovah, --- I remember thee for my kindness to thine youth And my love at thy espousal, When thou didst follow me in the desert, In a land not sown. (1:70)
3 Holiness was Israel to Jehovah, The first-fruits of his increase: Whosoever devour him shall be punished, Evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.
4 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye house of Jacob, And all the families of the house of Israel:
5 Thus saith Jehovah, --- What iniquity did your fathers find in me? For they alienated themselves from me, And walked after vanity, and became vain; (1:75)
6 And they said not, ``Where is Jehovah, Who brought us out of the land of Egypt,
And led us through the wilderness, In a land waste and rugged, In a land horrible and deadly, In a land through which none passed, And in which no man dwelt?'' (1:79)
7 And I brought you into a fertile land, To eat its fruit and its abundance; But ye entered and polluted my land, And my heritage have ye made an abomination:
8 The priests said not, ``Where is Jehovah?'' And they who handled the law, knew not me; And the pastors dealt treacherously with me, And the prophets prophesied by Baal, And after things which did not profit, they walked.
9 Therefore still will I contend with you, saith Jehovah; And with your children's children will I contend.
10 For pass over to the isles of Chittim, and see; And to Kedar send, and consider diligently; And see whether such a thing as this has been done ---
11 Has a nation changed its gods, Though they are no gods? Yet my people have changed their glory Unto that which does not profit.
12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and terrified, Be ye wholly desolated, saith
Jehovah: (1:92)
JOHN CALVIN
13 Surely, two evils have my people done, --- Me have they forsaken, the fountain of living waters, And dug have they for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns, which hold no waters!
14 Is Israel a servant? Is he one born in the house? Why is he become a prey?
15 Over him roar the lions, They have raised their voice; They have made his land waste; His cities are burnt up, Without an inhabitant.
16 Even the children of Noph and Thaphanes Do break thy crown.
17 Hast thou not done this for thyself, By forsaking Jehovah thy God, While he was leading thee in the way?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, That thou mightest drink the waters of the Nile? And what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, That thou mightest drink of the water of the river?
19 Chastise thee shall thine own wickedness, And thy apostasies, they shall punish thee; And thou shalt understand and know, That it is an evil and a bitter thing for thee To have forsaken Jehovah thy God, And that my fear has not been in thee,
Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
20 For of old have I broken thy yoke, Have I burst thy bands; But thou hast said, ``I will not serve;'' For on every high hill and under every shady tree Hast thou rambled like a harlot. (1:107)
21 I indeed planted thee a choice vine, Altogether a good seed; How then art thou turned to me A degenerated foreign vine!
22 Even though thou washest thyself with nitre, And multipliest to thee the herb of the fuller; Yet imprinted is thine iniquity Before my face, saith the Lord Jehovah.
23 How canst thou say, ``I am not polluted, After Baalim have I not gone?'' See thy ways in the valley, Know what thou hast done, --- Thou swift dromedary, traversing her ways, ---
24 A wild she-ass, used to the desert, In her own lust snuffing up the wind she meets with: Who can thence bring her back? Whosoever seeks her, needs not weary himself; In her month will he find her. (1:118)
25 Keep thy foot from being unshod, And thy throat from thirst: Yet thou hast said, ``It is all over, No, for I have loved strangers, And after them will I go.''
26 As there is shame to a thief when caught, So ashamed shall be the house of
Israel, Their kings and their princes, Their priests and their prophets, ---
27 Who say to the wood, ``My father art thou;'' And to the stone, ``Thou hast begotten me:'' For they have turned to me the back, not the face; But in the time of their calamity they say, ``Arise and save us.''
28 But where are thy gods, Which thou hast made for thyself? Let them arise, if they can save thee In the time of thy calamity; For according to the number of thy cities Have been thy gods, O Judah!
29 Why do ye contend with me? Ye have all dealt perfidiously with me, saith
Jehovah.
30 In vain have I chastised your children; Correction they received not; Devoured has the sword your prophets, As a destroying lion.
31 O generation! see ye the word of Jehovah; Have I been a desert to Israel, or a
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
land of darkness? Wherefore have my people said, --- ``We have ruled, we will come no more to thee.'' (1:135)
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, A spouse her attire? But my people have forgotten me, Days without number.
33 Why trimmest thou thy ways to seek love? Thou hast even thus taught wickedness by thy ways.
34 Even in thy skirts is found The blood of the souls of the poor innocents; Not in digging under have they been found, But on account of all these things: (1:143)
35 Yet thou hast said, ``Surely I am clean; Only let his fury depart from me.''
Behold I will contend with thee in judgment, Because thou hast said, ``I have not sinned.''
36 Why ramblest thou so much to change thy ways? Even of Egypt shalt thou be ashamed, As thou hast been ashamed of Assyria.
37 Even now for this thou shalt go forth, And thine hands on thine head; For abhorred hath Jehovah thy confidences, And in them thou shalt not prosper. (1:151)
1 It is said, when a man puts away his wife, And she goes from him to another man, Shall he return to her again? Would not the land be thus greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many friends; Yet return to me, saith Jehovah.
2 Raise thine eyes to the high places, And see where thou hast played the harlot:
By the ways thou didst sit for them, As the Arabian in the desert; And polluted hast thou the land With thy whoredoms and thy wickedness.
3 Restrained therefore have been the showers, And the late rain has not been;
Yet the front of a strumpet has been thine, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not hereafter cry to me, --- ``My Father, the guide of my youth art thou?
5 Will he keep wrath for ever? Will he reserve it perpetually?'' Behold, thou hast spoken, And hast done evils with all thy might. (1:162)
6 And Jehovah said to me in the days of Josiah the king, --- Hast thou seen what the apostate Israel has done? She went on every high mountain And under every shady tree, And played there the harlot:
7 And I said, after she had done all these things, ``Return to me;`` but she returned not; And see this did her perfidious sister Judah.
8 And I saw, that when for all these things, Because rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had dismissed her and given her a bill of divorce, Yet fear did not her perfidious sister Judah, But went and played also the harlot. (1:166)
9 And it happened through the levity of her whoredom, That she polluted the land,
And played the harlot with stone and with wood.
10 And yet after all this, returned to me Has not her perfidious sister Judah, With her whole heart, but feignedly, saith Jehovah.
11 And Jehovah said to me, --- Justified herself has apostate Israel Rather than perfidious Judah:
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
12 Go and publish these words towards the north, And say, Return, rebellious
Israel, saith Jehovah; I will not let fall my wrath upon you, For I am merciful, saith
Jehovah; I will not keep it for ever:
13 But know thine iniquity, That against Jehovah thy God thou hast acted wickedly, And prostituted thy ways to strangers Under every shady tree; (1:176)
And to my voice thou didst not hearken, saith Jehovah.
14 Return, ye rebellious children, saith Jehovah; For I am your husband; And I will take you, one from a city, And two from a family, and bring you to Sion;
15 And will give you pastors according to my heart, And they shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall be, when ye shall multiply and increase In the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, That they will no more say, --- ``The ark of the covenant of Jehovah;''
And it shall not come to mind, And they shall not remember nor visit it; Even this shall not be done any more. (1:185)
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem, The throne of Jehovah; And assemble to it shall all nations, For the name of Jehovah, even to Jerusalem; And walk shall they no more After the evil hardness of their own hearts. (1:186)
18 In those days shall come The house of Judah with the house of Israel; Together shall they come from the land of the north, To the land which I have given For an inheritance to your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, And give thee the desirable land, The heritage coveted by hosts of nations? And I said, ``My Father,'' shalt thou call me, And from me thou wilt not depart. (1:189)
20 Surely as a woman deals perfidiously with her partner, So hast thou dealt perfidiously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.
21 A voice on high places was heard, The weeping of the prayers of the children of Israel; Because they had perverted their way, And forgotten Jehovah their God.
22 ``Return, ye rebellious children, I will heal your transgressions.'' ``Behold we come to thee, For thou art Jehovah our God:
23 Surely deceit is from the hills, From the multitude of mountains; Surely, in
Jehovah our God Is the salvation of Israel. (1:194)
24 Even shame hath devoured the labor Of our fathers, from our youth, Even their sheep and their cattle, Their sons and their daughters.
25 We have lain down in our shame, And our reproach hath covered us, Because with Jehovah our God We have dealt wickedly, we and our fathers, From our childhood even to this day, (1:196) And have not attended to the voice of Jehovah our God.''
1 If thou wilt return, Israel, saith Jehovah, Return to me; Even if thou wilt take away Thine abominations from my sight, And wilt not wander: (1:199)
2 And thou shalt swear, ``Live does Jehovah, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness;'' Then bless themselves in him shall nations, And in him shall they glory.
3 For thus saith Jehovah To the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, --- Plough again the first ploughing, And sow not among thorns:
4 Be ye circumcised to Jehovah, And take away the foreskin of your heart, Ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Lest my fury go forth like fire, And burn that none may quench it; On account of the evil of your doings.
5 Proclaim ye in Judah, And publish in Jerusalem, and say, ``Sound the trumpet in the land;'' Call, assemble, yea, say, --- ``Be assembled, and let us enter into fortified cities;''
6 Raise the standard in Sion; Flee, stay not, for an evil do I bring From the north, even a great ruin. (1:208)
7 Ascended has the lion from his thicket, And the waster of nations is gone forth;
He is come forth from his place, To make thy land a waste; Thy cities shall be destroyed, So as to be without an inhabitant.
8 For this gird yourselves with sackcloth, Lament and howl; for turned away from us Is not the fury of Jehovah's wrath.
9 And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, That perish shall the heart of the king,
And the heart of the princes; And amazed shall be the priests, And the prophets shall be astonished. (1:212)
10 Then I said, Ah! Lord Jehovah! Surely, deceiving thou hast deceived This people and Jerusalem, by saying, ``Peace shall be to you;'' Yet reached has the sword to the soul. (1:214)
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
11 At that time it shall be said To this people and to Jerusalem, --- A dry wind from the heights of the desert Shall be towards the way of the daughter of my people, Not to fan nor to cleanse;
12 A wind stronger than this shall come for me; Now also will I pronounce judgments on them. (1:217)
13 Behold as clouds shall he ascend, And as a whirlwind his chariots; Swifter than eagles his horses: Woe to us! for we are lost.
14 Cleanse from evil the heart, Jerusalem; That thou mayest be saved: How long will remain within thee The thoughts of vanity! (1:221)
15 For a voice proclaims from Dan And publishes ruin from Mount Ephraim.
16 Rehearse it to the nations; Behold, publish against Jerusalem, --- Besiegers come from a remote land, And raise over the cities of Judah their voice;
17 As keepers of the field they shall be over her around; Because she hath provoked me, saith Jehovah.
18 Thy way and thy doings have done this for thee; This is thy wickedness, though it be bitter, Though it reaches to thy heart. (1:227)
19 My bowels! my bowels! I am in pain; The walls of my heart! My heart is in a tumult within me; I will not be silent, for the sound of the trumpet Has my soul heard, And the clamor of war has it heard. (1:229)
20 Calamity on calamity is cried; For destroyed is the whole land; Suddenly destroyed are my tents, In an instant my curtains.
21 How long shall I see the standard --- Shall I hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 Because foolish are my people, Me have they not known; Sottish children are they, And they are not intelligent; Acute are they for evil, But how to do good they know not.
23 I beheld the land, and lo, it was waste and without form; And the heavens, and they had no light:
24 I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled; And all the hills were shaking:
25 I beheld, and lo, there was no man, And every bird of the heavens was fled:
26 I beheld, and lo, Carmel was a desert; And all its cities were destroyed, At the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the burning of his wrath.
27 For thus saith Jehovah, Laid waste shall be the whole land; But an end will I not make.
28 For this mourn shall the land, And black shall become the heavens above; For
I have spoken, I have purposed, And will not repent nor be turned from this.
29 At the voice of the horseman and of the bowmen, Flee shall the whole city;
They shall penetrate into thick clouds, They shall ascend into rocks; Every city shall be forsaken, And no man shall dwell in them. (1:245)
30 And thou, wretched one, what wilt thou do? Though thou puttest on crimson,
Though thou deckest thyself with ornaments of gold, Though thou adornest with paint thine eyes, In vain wilt thou decorate thyself; Hate thee will thy lovers, Thy life will they seek.
31 Surely, the voice of one in travail have I heard, The distress as of one giving birth to a first-begotten, The voice of the daughter of Sion; Who mourns, who spreads
JOHN CALVIN
her hands, --- ``Wo to me now! for fainted has my soul On account of murderers.''
1 Go round through the streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray, and know, Inquire also in its cross-ways, Whether ye shall find a man, Whether there be any, who doeth judgment, Who seeketh the truth, And I will spare it. (1:252)
2 Though they say, ``Live does Jehovah;'' Yet in this they swear falsely.
3 Jehovah! are not thine eyes on the truth? Thou hast smitten them, But they have not grieved; Thou hast consumed them, But they have not received correction:
They have made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to return.
4 But I said, Surely the poor are these; They have acted foolishly, Because they knew not the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God:
5 I will go to the great and speak to them, For they know the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God: But these have altogether broken the yoke, They have burst the bonds.
6 Therefore smite them shall the lion from the forest, The wolf of the desert shall spoil them, The leopard shall watch over their cities; Whosoever goeth out shall be torn: For manifold are their transgressions, Increased are their defections.
7 How for this shall I spare thee? Thy children have forsaken me, And have sworn by one that is not a god; When I fully satisfied them, they committed adultery, And at the house of the harlot they assembled:
8 Fed horses! rising early in the morning, Every one at his neighbor's wife neigheth.
9 Should I not for these things visit? saith Jehovah, And on such a nation as this
Shall not my soul be avenged?
10 Ascend her walls and demolish, But an end make not; Take away her foundations, For they are not Jehovah's:
11 For by transgressing they have transgressed against me, The house of Israel and the house of Judah saith Jehovah.
JOHN CALVIN
12 They have denied Jehovah and said, ``He is not, and come on us shall no evil;
Yea, the sword and the famine we shall not see:
13 And the prophets shall be wind, For the word is not in them: Thus shall it be done to them.''
14 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, --- Because you have uttered this word, Behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, And this people wood, And it shall devour them:
15 Behold I will bring on you a nation from far, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah,
A strong nation, an ancient nation, A nation whose language thou knowest not, And understandest not what it says: (1:286)
16 Their quiver is like an open sepulcher, All of them are valiant;
17 And they will devour thy harvest and thy bread; They will devour thy sons and thy daughters, They will devour thy flocks and thy herds, They will devour thy vine and thy fig-tree; To want shall they reduce thy fortified cities, To which thou trustest, by the sword:
18 But even in those days, saith Jehovah, I will not make with you an end.
19 And it shall be, when ye say, ``Why hath Jehovah our God done to us All these things?'' that thou wilt say to them, --- As ye have forsaken me, And served foreign gods in your land, So shall ye serve foreigners in a land not your own.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, And publish it in Judah, saying, ---
21 Hear this, I pray, Ye foolish people and void of heart, Who have eyes and see not, Who have ears and hear not:
22 Will ye not fear me? saith Jehovah; Will ye not at my presence tremble? Who have set the sand a bound to the sea, By a perpetual decree that it cannot pass it;
Though its waves rage, yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
23 But this people hath a perverse and rebellious heart; They have turned aside and departed:
24 And they have not said in their heart, --- Let us now fear Jehovah our God, Who giveth rain, both the early And the latter shower in its season, Who keeps to us the appointed weeks of harvest.
25 Your iniquities have prevented these things, And your sins have restrained good from you.
26 For found among my people are the wicked; They look, as though they would set snares; A trap they set, in which they catch men. (1:303)
27 As a cage is full of birds So their houses are full of fraud: Therefore they are increased and become rich;
28 They are become fat, they shine; They even surpass the deeds of the wicked:
The cause they judge not, The cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; And the judgment of the poor they judge not. (1:306)
29 Shall I not for this visit, saith Jehovah? On such a nation as this Shall not my soul be avenged?
30 A monstrosity and baseness is in the land!
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their means; (1:309)
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
And my people wish it to be so: But what will ye do at the end of it?
1 Be assembled, ye children of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And in
Tekoa sound the trumpet; In Beth-haccerem also set up a sign; For evil is seen from the north, And great distress.
2 To a quiet and delicate woman Have I likened the daughter of Sion:
3 To her shall come shepherds and their flocks; They shall pitch their tents near her around, Feed shall each in his own place.
4 Prepare ye war against her: ``Arise ye, and let us ascend at mid-day; Alas for us! for declined has the day, For extended are the evening shadows:
5 Arise, and let us ascend in the night, And let us demolish her palaces.'' (1:319)
6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- Cut ye down wood, And form against.
Jerusalem a mound; It is a city of visitation, Entire oppression is in the midst of her:
7 As a fountain casts out its waters, So she casts out her wickedness; Violence and plunder is heard of in her; Before me continually is grief and smiting.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest my soul be torn from thee, Lest I make thee a desert, A land not inhabited.
9 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- By gleaning they shall glean, as a vine, The remnant of Israel: Turn back thine hand, As a grape-gatherer into the baskets. (1:326)
10 To whom shall I speak and protest, That they may hear? Behold, uncircumcised is their ear, And they cannot hear; Behold, the word of Jehovah is to them a reproach;
They delight not in it.
11 Of Jehovah's indignation therefore am I full, I am wearied with refraining To pour it on the children in the streets, And on the assembly of young men also; For the husband with his wife shall be taken, The aged with the full of days:
12 And turned shall be their houses to aliens, Their fields and their wives in like manner; For I will stretch out my hand On the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah:
13 For from the least to the greatest of them, Every one is given to covetousness;
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
And from the prophet to the priest, Every one acts deceitfully;
14 And healed have they the wound Of the daughter of my people slightly By saying, ``Peace, peace,'' when there was no peace. (1:336)
15 Were they ashamed, that they had done abomination? Even of shame they were not ashamed, And how to blush they knew not: Fall therefore shall they among the fallen; At the time of their visitation They shall perish, saith Jehovah. (1:339)
16 Thus said Jehovah, --- Stand in the ways and see, Inquire also concerning the old paths, Which is the right way, and walk ye in it, That ye may find rest to your soul: And they said, ``We will not walk in it.''
17 I also set over them watchmen, That they might, attend to the sound of the trumpet; But they said, ``We will not attend.''
18 Hear therefore, ye nations, And know, thou assembly, what shall be to them:
19 Hear, thou land; behold I bring an evil On this people, the fruit of their thoughts;
Because to my words they have not hearkened, And my law have they despised.
20 To what purpose is this to me? Incense cometh from Sheba, And the sweet came from a far country; Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, And your sacrifices are not pleasant to me.
21 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, --- Behold, I lay before this people stumblingblocks; And stumble shall fathers and sons alike; Neighbor and friend, they shall perish.
22 Thus saith Jehovah, --- Behold, a people shall corns from the north country,
And a great nation shall be roused From the sides of the earth:
23 On the bow and spear shall they lay hold; They are cruel and will not spare;
Their voice, like the sea, will roar, And on horses shall they mount; Arrayed shall they be as men for war, Against thee, O daughter of Sion.
24 We have heard its fame; Relaxed are our hands, Anguish has laid hold on us,
The pain as of one in travail.
25 Go not forth into the field, Nor walk by the way; For the sword of the enemy Is a terror on every side.
26 Daughter of my people! gird on sackcloth, And roll thyself in the dust; Make thee mourning, as for an only son, Most bitter lamentation; For suddenly shall come on thee the spoiler.
27 A tower have I made thee to my people, --- A fortress; that thou mightest know
And try their ways:
28 All are entire apostates, Walking in detraction; Brass and iron are they; All of them are corrupters. (1:358)
29 Burnt are the bellows by the fire, Entire is the lead, In vain has melted the melter; For the wicked have not been refined:
30 Reprobate silver shall they call them, Because rejected them has Jehovah
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, ---
2 Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, And proclaim there this word, and say, --- Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye Judah, Who enter through these gates to worship Jehovah:
3 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, --- Make good your ways and your doings, And I will dwell with you in this place:
4 Trust not in words of falsehood, by saying, ``The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah, are these buildings.'' (1:364)
5 Surely, if by making good ye make good Your ways and your doings, If by doing ye do judgment Between man and his neighbor,
6 If the stranger, the orphan and the widow, Ye oppress not, and innocent blood
Ye shed not in this place, And after strange gods Ye walk not to your hurt, ---
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this places In the land which I gave to your fathers, For ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in words of falsehood, Which are without profit.
9 Will ye steal, kill, and commit adultery, Swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, And walk after alien gods, Whom ye do not know;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, Which is called by my name, and say, ``We have been made free To do all these abominations?'' (1:373)
11 Is this house, called by my name, Become a den of robbers in your eyes? Even
I, behold I see, saith Jehovah.
12 But go now to my place in Shilo, Where I made to dwell my name at first, And see what I did there, For the wickedness of my people Israel:
13 And now, because ye have done All these works, saith Jehovah, And I spoke to you, rising early, And when I spoke, ye heard not, When I called you, ye answered not;
COMMENTARY ON JEREMIAH
14 I will therefore do to this place, Which is called by my name, In which ye trust
--- Even to the place which I gave to you And to your fathers, as I did to Shilo;
15 And I will cast you out from my presence, As I have cast out all your brethren,
The whole seed of Ephraim.
16 And thou, pray not for this people, And raise not for them a cry and a prayer,
And intercede not with me; For I will not hear thee. (1:384)
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah And in the streets of
Jerusalem?
18 Children gather wood, And fathers kindle a fire, And women knead a dough,
To make cakes for the queen of heaven; And they pour libations to alien gods, That they may provoke me to wrath! (1:387)
19 Do they provoke me to wrath, saith Jehovah? Is it not to the shame of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, --- Behold my wrath, even my fury, It shall be poured on this place, Upon men and upon beast, Upon the tree of the field and the fruit of the land; And it shall burn, and none shall quench it.
21 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, --- Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye the flesh:
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, Nor commanded them in the day, In which I brought them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning burnt-offerings and sacrifices;
23 But this is what I commanded them, saying, --- ``Hear my voice, And I will be to you a God, And you shall be to me a people; And walk ye in all the ways Which I have commanded you. That it may be well with you:
24 Yet they heard not, nor inclined their car; But walked in perverse counsels, In the wickedness of their own evil heart, And went backward and not forward.
25 From the day in which your fathers came out From the land of Egypt, to this day, Have I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, Every day rising early and sending them:
26 Yet they heard not nor inclined their ear, But hardened their neck; They have acted more perversely than their fathers.
27 Thou also shalt say to them all these words, But they will not hear thee; And thou shalt call to them, But they will not answer thee:
28 Therefore say to them, --- This is a nation, Which have not hearkened to the voice Of Jehovah, their God, And have not received correction: Perished has the truth, And cut off has it been from their mouth.
29 Shave off thy hair and cast it away, Raise on the heights a lamentation; Nor rejected thee has Jehovah; And forsaken hath he the generation of his wrath:
30 For the children of Judah have done evil Before mine eyes, saith Jehovah; They have set their abominations in the house, On which my name is called, to pollute it;
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, Which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; Which I have not commanded, Nor has it ever come into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That it shall no more be called
Tophet, And The valley of the son of Hinnom, But, The valley of slaughter; And they
JOHN CALVIN
shall bury in Tophet, For elsewhere there will be no place:
33 And the carcasses of this people shall be for meat To the birds of heaven and to the beasts of the earth; And there will be none to frighten them:
34 And to cease will I make, from the cities of Judah And from the streets of
Jerusalem, The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; For to a waste shall the land be reduced.
1 In that day, saith Jehovah, they shall bring forth The bones of the kings of Judah,
And the bones of his princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of the citizens of Jerusalem, Out of their graves;
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, And the moon, and all the host of heaven, Which they have loved and served, And after which they have walked, And which they have sought, And before which they have bowed themselves; They shall not be gathered nor buried; For dung on the face of the land shall they be:
3 And chosen shall be death, Rather than life, by all the residue, Who shall remain of this wicked nation, Who shall remain in all the places Where I shall drive them, saith Jehovah of hosts.
4 Thou shalt also say to them, Thus saith Jehovah, --- Shall not they who have fallen rise again? If any one turns aside shall he not return?
5 Why rebel does this people at Jerusalem With a perpetual rebellion? They have held fast deceit, They have refused to return.
6 I hearkened and heard; they will not speak aright; There is no one who repents of his wickedness, And says, ``What have I done?'' Every one turns to his own course,
Like a horse who rushes into battle. (1:425)
7 Even the stork in the heavens knows its times; The turtle also, and the swallow and the crane, Observe the time of their journey; But my people know not the judgment of Jehovah.
8 How say ye, ``We are wise And the law of Jehovah is with us:'' Surely, behold in vain Hath the writer prepared his pen, In vain are the scribes!
9 Ashamed are the wise, terrified and taken; Behold the word of Jehovah have they rejected; And wisdom, what is it to them! (1:432)
10 I will therefore give their wives to aliens, And their fields to inheritors; For from the least even to the greatest, Every one is given to covetousness; From the prophet
JOHN CALVIN
even to the priest, All have acted deceitfully;
11 And healed have they the wound Of the daughter of my people slightly, By saying, ``Peace, peace,'' when there was no peace.
12 Had they shame, that they had done abomination? Even of shame they were not ashamed, And how to blush they knew not: Fall therefore shall they with the fallen; At the time of their visitation They shall perish, saith Jehovah.
13 Destroying, I will destroy them, saith Jehovah; No grapes shall be on the vine,
And no figs on the fig-tree; The leaf also shall fall, And what I gave them shall pass from them.
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble ye, And let us enter into fortified cities, And let us rest there: Surely, Jehovah our God hath made us silent, And given us waters of gall to drink: Because we have sinned against Jehovah. (1:442)
15 We looked for peace, but there was no good; For time of healing, but behold terror.
16 From Dan is heard the snorting of his horses; At the sound of the neighing of his strong ones, Tremble does the whole land; For they will come and devour The land and its abundance, The city and its inhabitants.
17 For behold, I will send among you Serpents and basilisks, Which will not be charmed; And they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
18 I would strengthen myself against grief: But within me my heart is weak.
19 Behold the voice of the crying Of the daughter of my people from a far country!
not Jehovah in Sion? Is not her king within her?'' --- Why have they provoked me to wrath With their images, with foreign vanities?
20 Past has the harvest, ended is the summer, And we have not been saved!
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt, I am become black;
Astonishment has laid hold on me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? For why is not restored
The healing of the daughter of my people! (1:456)
1 Who will make my head waters And mine eye a fountain of tears! Then would I bewail, day and night, The slain of the daughter of my people.
2 Who will set me in the desert, In the lodging of travelers! Then would I leave my people And depart from them: For all of them are adulterers, An assembly of perfidious men.
3 And they shoot lies with their tongue as with a bow; But not for truth are they strong in the land; For from evil to evil they proceed; (1:462) And me they know not, saith Jehovah.
4 And every one of his friend take ye heed, And in a brother trust ye not; For every brother by supplanting will supplant, And every friend walks fraudulently:
5 And a man deceives his neighbor, And the truth he speaks not; They have taught their tongues to speak falsehood; With doing evil they weary themselves.
6 Thou dwellest in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse To know me, saith Jehovah. (1:469)
7 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- Behold, I will try them, and will prove them; For how should I deal With the daughter of my people?
8 A sharpened arrow is their tongue, Falsehood it speaks; His mouth speaks peace to his neighbor, But within he sets up intrigues.
9 For this shall I not visit, saith Jehovah, On such a nation as this Shall not my soul be avenged?
10 For the mountains will I raise up weeping and wailing, For the pastures of the wilderness, lamentation; Because they are laid waste, So that there is not a man passing through, And they hear not the voice of cattle; From the bird of heaven to the beast. Have they fled, have they departed. (1:475)
11 I will also make Jerusalem heaps, A place for dragons; And the cities of Judah will I make a waste, So that there shall be no inhabitant.
JOHN CALVIN
12 Who is a wise man to understand this? And to whom has Jehovah's mouth spoken, That he may declare why the land is to perish --- Is to be laid waste like the desert, So that no man should pass through? (1:480)
13 Then Jehovah said, --- Because they have forsaken my law, Which I have set before them, And hearkened not to my voice, Nor walked according to it;
14 But walked after the imaginations Of their own hearts, and after Baalim, As their fathers taught them;
15 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, The God of Israel, --- Behold, I will feed this people with bitterness, And will give them the water of gall to drink;
16 I will also scatter them among the nations, Whom they have not known nor their fathers, And I will send after them the sword, Until I shall have consumed them.
17 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- Attend ye and call for the mourning women,
That they may come, And send for those who are skillful, That they may come.
18 And let them hasten and make a wailing for us, That our eyes may let fall tears, And our eyelids drop down waters. (1:489)
19 For a voice of wailing is heard from Sion, ``How we are wasted! How greatly shamed! Because we have left the land, They have cast down our dwellings.''
20 Therefore hear, ye women, the word of Jehovah, And let your ears receive the word of his mouth, And teach your daughters wailing, And each one her friend lamentation:
21 For come up is death to our windows, It has entered into our palaces, To cut off the infirm from the street, The young men in the broad places. (1:493)
22 Speak, thus saith Jehovah, fall shall the carcasses of men As dung on the face of the field, And as the handful after the reaper, And none gathering it.
23 Thus saith Jehovah, --- Let not the wise glory in his wisdom, And let not the brave glory in his courage, Let not the rich glory in his riches;
24 But in this let him glory who glorieth, In understanding, and in knowing me,
That I am Jehovah, who doeth mercy, Judgment and righteousness in the land; For in these things I delight, saith Jehovah. (1:502)
25 Behold the days are coming, saith Jehovah, That I will visit every one circumcised, Who is in uncircumcision, ---
26 Egypt and Judah and Edom, The sons of Ammon and Moab, And all those who are in extreme recesses, Who dwell in the wilderness; For all these nations are uncircumcised, And the whole house of Israel, They are uncircumcised in heart.
1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith Jehovah, --- The way of the Gentiles learn not, And of the signs of heaven be not afraid, For fear them do the Gentiles:
3 Because the rites of the heathens are vanity, For a tree from the forest does one cut --- The work of the craftsman's hands by the ax;
4 With silver and gold they beautify it, With nails and hammer they make it fast,
That it should not move;
5 As a palm, erect, but they speak not; And being raised, they are raised, for they cannot walk: Fear them not, for they cannot do evil, And to do good is not in their power. (2:14)
6 From no time has been found any Like thee, Jehovah; great art thou, And great is thy name in power.
7 Who should not fear thee, king of nations? For to thee this belongs; For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, From no time has there been one like thee. (2:28)
8 Even in this one thing they are foolish and fatuitous --- The teaching of vanities the wood is:
9 Silver, extended, is from Tarshish brought, And gold from Ophas, --- The work of the artificer and of the melter's hands; Hyacinth and purple are their garments, The work of the wise, all of them.
10 But Jehovah is God, the truth, God, the life and the king of ages: Through his fury tremble will the earth, And the nations will not bear his wrath.
11 Thus shall ye say to them, --- The gods who made not the heaven and the earth, Let them perish from the earth and from under heaven:
12 He who made the earth by his power, Who set in order the world by his wisdom,
And by his understanding extended the heavens, ---
JOHN CALVIN
13 At his voice there is abundance of waters in the heavens, And he makes vapors to ascend from the extremity of the earth; Lightnings he makes for rain, And brings the wind from his treasures. (2:31)
14 Foolish is every man through his knowledge, Ashamed is every maker of the graven image, For a falsehood is the molten image, And there is no breath in them.
15 Vanity they are, the work of illusions; At the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 But not like them is the portion of Jacob, For the Creator of all things is he, And
Israel is the rod of his inheritance; Jehovah of hosts is his name.
17 Gather from the land thy treasures Thou who dwellest in a fortress:
18 For thus saith Jehovah, --- Behold! will cast out as with a sling The inhabitants of the land at this time, And I will straiten them, That they may find what they deserve.
19 Woe is me on account of my bruising! Full of pain is the smiting given to me!
and I said, --- Surely it is my stroke, and I will bear it:
20 My tent is pulled down, And all my cords are broken; My sons are gone from me, and there are none --- No one to extend any more my tent, And to set up my curtains!
21 For infatuated are the pastors, And Jehovah have they not sought; Therefore have they not prospered, And all that was in their pastures has been destroyed.
22 A sound of rumor! lo, it comes, And a great tumult, from the land of the north,
To make the cities of Judah a waste, The habitation of dragons!
23 I know Jehovah, That his way is not in the power of man, That it is not in man who walketh to guide his steps.
24 Chastise me, Jehovah, but only in moderation; Not in thy wrath, lest thou shouldest consume me:
25 Pour thy wrath on the nations, who know thee not, And on the families who have not called on thy name; For they have devoured Jacob, Yea, they have devoured and consumed him, And his tents have they laid waste.
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, ---
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant; and say ye to the men
3 of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, --- Cursed
4 Is the man who hears not the words of this covenant, which I commanded your fathers in the day in which I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, --- Hear ye my voice, and do according to all those things which I have commanded you; and ye shall be to me a people and I will
5 Be to you a God; that I may confirm the oath which I swear to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, according to what it is at this day. And
I answered and said, Amen, Jehovah.
6 And Jehovah said to me, Proclaim these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, --- Hear the words of this covenant and do them;
7 For protesting I protested to your fathers, In the day in which I brought them
Out of the land of Egypt, to this day, Rising up early and protesting, and saying, ---
8 ``Hear ye my voice:'' Yet they heard not, nor inclined their ear, But walked, every one of them, After the wickedness of his own evil heart: I have therefore brought on them All the words of this covenant, Which I commanded them to do, But they did them not. (2:84)
9 And Jehovah said to me, --- Found out is a conspiracy, Among the men of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem:
10 Returned are they to the iniquities of their forefathers, Who refused to hear my words, But walked after foreign gods to serve them: Broken have the house of
Israel and the house of Judah My covenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, --- Behold, I will bring upon you an evil, From which ye shall not be able to escape; And they shall cry to me, but I will not hear
JOHN CALVIN
them:
12 And go shall the cities of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem, And cry to the gods to whom they have offered incense; But by saving they will not save them In the time of their affliction:
13 For according to the number of thy cities Have been thy gods, O Judah; And according to the number of streets of Jerusalem, Have ye set up altars for reproach
--- Altars to offer incense to Baal. (2:94)
14 And thou, pray not for this people, And raise not for them a cry and a prayer;
For I will not hear them at the time When they shall cry to me for their distress.
15 What has my beloved to do in mine house, While she commits abomination with many? And the flesh of the sanctuary is taken from thee; For when thou didst evil, thou didst then glory. (2:102)
16 A green olive, fair in fruit and form, Hath Jehovah called thy name; At the noise of great tumult hath he kindled a fire on it, And broken down are its branches:
17 For Jehovah of hosts who planted thee Hath spoken against thee an evil, For the wickedness of the house of Israel And of the house of Judah, Which they have done for themselves, To provoke me by offering incense to Baal.
18 Jehovah hath made me to know, and I knew it; Thou didst then discover to me their works.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox Led to be slain; and I knew not That they meditated thoughts against me: ``Let us spoil with wood his bread, And cut him off from the land of the living; And let his name be remembered no more.'' (2:113)
20 Now, Jehovah of hosts, who judgest righteously, Who searchest the reins and the heart, Let me see thy vengeance on them, For to thee have I revealed my cause.
21 Therefore thus saith Jehovah To the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life and say, ``Prophesy thou not in the name of Jehovah, That thou mayest not die by our hand;''
22 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- Behold, I will visit them; Their young men shall die by the sword, Their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,
23 And there shall be no remnant of them; For I will bring evil on the men of
Anathoth, In the year of their visitation.
1 Just art thou, Jehovah, though I contend with thee; Yet of judgments will I speak to thee: How long shall the way of the ungodly prosper? Secure are all they who by transgressing transgress. (2:121)
2 Thou hast planted them, they have even taken root; They have grown, they have even produced fruit: Nigh art thou in their mouth, But far from their reins.
3 But thou, Jehovah, knowest me, Thou seest me and hast tried my heart towards thee; Draw them forth as sheep for the slaughter, And prepare them for the day of destruction.
4 How long shall mourn the land, And the grass of every field wither For the wickedness of those who dwell in it? Consumed are the beasts and the birds, Because they have said, ``He shall not see our end.'' (2:129)
5 If with footmen thou hast run, And they have wearied thee, How canst thou contend with horsemen? In the land of peace thou hast trusted, How then canst thou do in the rising of Jordan?
6 Truly, even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even these act perfidiously towards thee; Yea, they cry after thee with a loud voice: Trust them not, even when they speak good things to thee.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given up the darling of my soul Into the hand of her enemies!
8 My heritage has become to me like a lion in the forest; It has sent forth its voice against me; Therefore have I hated it.
9 Is my heritage to me a speckled bird? Is there not a bird around over it? Come, gather yourselves all ye beasts of the field; Come to devour it. (2:140)
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, They have trodden under foot my portion, They have made nay choice portion a desolate wilderness;
11 They have made it a desolation, It mourns to me, being desolate; Desolate is
JOHN CALVIN
become the whole land; Though no one hath laid it to heart.
12 On all high places in the wilderness have come destroyers; For the sword of
Jehovah hath devoured, From one end to the other end of the land; There is no peace to any flesh.
13 They have sown wheat And thorns have they reaped; An heritage have they got, but have not succeeded: Ashamed have they been of your produce, Through the burning of the wrath of Jehovah. (2:149)
14 Thus saith Jehovah, --- As to all my evil neighbors, Who touch my heritage,
Which I have inherited, even my people Israel, Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, And the house of Judah Will I pluck up from the midst of them.
15 And it shall be, after I draw them out, That I shall return and shew mercy to them, And will restore them, every one to his heritage, And every one to his own land.
16 And it shall be, that if by learning they will learn The ways of my people, To swear by my name, ``Live does Jehovah,'' As they taught my people to swear by
Baal, They shall then be built up In the midst of my people:
17 But if they will not hear, I will then pluck up that nation, Plucking it up and destroying it, saith Jehovah.
1 Thus saith Jehovah to me, --- Go and get thee a linen belt, and put it on thy loins, and
2 In water set it not. So I got for me a belt, as Jehovah had
3 commanded, and put it on my loins. Then came the word of
4 Jehovah to me again, saying, --- Take the belt which thou hast got, which is on thy loins, and rise, go to Euphrates and hide
5 It there in the hole of a rock. Then I went and hid it by
6 Euphrates, as Jehovah had ordered me. And it was, that at the end of many days, Jehovah said to me, Rise and go to Euphrates, and take thence the belt which
I commanded thee
7 To hide there. So I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the belt from the place where I had hid it; and behold the belt
8 Was marred, and it was good for nothing. Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying, ---
9 Thus saith Jehovah, --- In this way will I mar the excellency of Judah And the great excellency of Jerusalem:
10 This wicked people, who refuse to hear my words, Who walk in the wickedness of their own heart, And walk after foreign gods, That they may serve them and worship them, --- Shall be even as this belt, Which is good for nothing.
11 For as the belt cleaves to the loins of man, So had I joined to me the whole house of Israel And the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah, That they might be to me a people and a name, Yea, a praise and a glory; But they hearkened not.
12 Thou shalt also say this word to them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel,
--- Every bottle shall be filled with wine. When they shall say to thee, Knowing do we not know, that every
13 Bottle shall be filled with wine? then shalt thou say to them, --- Thus saith
JOHN CALVIN
Jehovah, --- Behold, I will fill with drunkenness All the inhabitants of this land, And all the kings who sit for David on his throne, The priests also and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
14 And I will dash them, every one against his brother, The fathers also and the sons together, saith Jehovah: I will not spare, nor will I be propitious, Nor shew pity until I destroy them.
15 Hear ye and attend, be not lifted up, For Jehovah hath spoken:
16 Give to Jehovah your God the glory, Before he makes it to grow dark, And before your feet stumble at the dark mountains, And before he turns the light ye hope for Into the shadow of death, And makes it thick darkness. (2:179)
17 But if ye will not hear this, In secret will my soul mourn for pride, And weeping my eye will weep And run down with tears; For led captive is the flock of Jehovah.
18 Say to the king and to the queen, Be ye humbled, lie ye down, For come down from your heads Shall the crown of your glory.
19 The cities of the south are closed up, And there is no one to open them; For carried away has been all Judah, He has been carried away completely. (2:185)
20 Raise ye your eyes, And behold them who come from the north: Where is the flock, which has been given to thee, The sheep of thy glory?
21 What wilt thou say when he visits thee? But thou hast taught them to be leaders over thy head; Shall not sorrows lay hold on thee, As on a woman in travail?
22 But if thou wilt say in thine heart, ``Why have these evils happened to me?''
For the multitude of thine iniquity Are thy skirts discovered, And naked are made thy heels.
23 Can the Ethiop change his skin, And the panther his spots? Even so can ye do good, Who have been taught evil. (2:192)
24 I will therefore scatter them like the stubble, That passeth away by the wind of the desert.
25 This thy lot is the portion of thy measures From me, saith Jehovah, For thou hast forgotten me, And thou hast trusted in falsehood;
26 And I also will uncover thy skirts on thy face, That seen may be thy shame.
27 Thy adulteries and thy neighings, The thought of thy whoredom, On the mountains, in the field, have I seen, Even thine abominations; Woe to thee, Jerusalem! Wilt thou not at length be made clean? How long yet!
1 The word which came to Jeremiah respecting the drought:
2 Mourned has Judah, And his gates have been weakened; They are become black on the ground, And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up: (2:205)
3 And their chiefs sent the common people to the waters; They came to the cisterns, they found no water; They returned with empty vessels; They were confounded and ashamed, And they covered their head:
4 For the chapt ground, as there was no rain in the land, Ashamed were the husbandmen, And they covered their head:
5 Moreover the hind brought forth young in the field, And forsook it, for there was no grass:
6 And the wild asses stood on the cliffs, They drew in wind like serpents; Fail did their eyes, for there was no grass. (2:209)
7 Though our iniquities testify against us, O Jehovah, Deal with us for thine own name's sake; For multiplied have our defections, Against thee have we done wickedly,
8 Hope of Israel! Savior art thou In the time of trouble; Why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land? As a traveler, turning aside to pass the night?
9 Why shouldest thou be as a man terrified? As a strong man, who yet cannot save? Thou art in the midst of us, O Jehovah, And on us is thy name called, Forsake us not. (2:214)
10 Thus saith Jehovah of this people: As they have loved to wander, And have not restrained their feet, Therefore Jehovah has not been pleased with them; He will now remember their iniquities, And visit their sins.
11 Jehovah said also to me: Pray not for this people for their good:
12 When they fast I will not hear their cry; And when they offer a sacrifice and an oblation, I will not be pleased with them; For with the sword and with famine, And
JOHN CALVIN
with pestilence, will I consume them.
13 And I said, Ah! Lord Jehovah, Behold, the prophets say to them, --- ``Ye shall not see the sword, And famine shall not be to you, Nay, sure peace will I give you in this place.''
14 Then said Jehovah to me, --- Falsehood do the prophets prophesy in my name;
I have not sent them nor commanded them, Nor have I spoken to them; A false vision and divination, Yea, vanity and the deceit of their own heart, Do they of themselves prophesy to you. (2:226)
15 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah, of the prophets who prophesy in my name, and
I have not sent them, and who say, The sword and the famine shall not be in this land, --- By the sword and
16 Famine shall these prophets be consumed; and the people, to whom they have prophesied, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem through the famine and the sword, and there will be none to bury them, --- they, their wives: and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour upon them their own wickedness.
17 Therefore shalt thou say to them this word, --- Run down shall mine eyes with tears Day and night, and they shall not rest, For with a great breach is broken down
The virgin, the daughter of my people; The stroke is very grievous:
18 If I go out to the field, behold the slain with the sword! And if I enter the city, behold the sorrowful with famine! For both the prophet, and the priest, Go round through the land, and know not what to do.
19 Repudiating hast thou repudiated Judah? Has thy soul abominated Sion? Why hast thou so smitten us, that we have no healing? We have looked for peace, and there is no good, And for time of healing, and behold terror!
20 We know, O Jehovah, our wickedness, And the iniquity of our fathers; For we have done wickedly against thee.
21 Reject not, for thy name's sake, Overthrow not the throne of thy glory; Remember. render not void, Thy covenant with us. (2:240)
22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles, Who can cause it to rain?
And can they give rain from heaven? Art not thou thyself, Jehovah, our God? And we have looked to thee, For thou hast done all these things.
1 Then Jehovah said to me: Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, My soul would not be towards this people; Send them from my presence, and let them depart.
2 And it shall be, if they say to thee, ``Whither shall we go forth?'' Then shalt thou say to them, --- Thus saith Jehovah, --- They who are for death, to death, And they who are for the sword, to the sword, And they who are for the famine, to the famine, And they who are for captivity, to captivity:
3 And I will set over them four kinds, saith Jehovah, --- The sword to kill, and the dogs to drag, And the bird of heaven, and the beast of the earth, To devour and to destroy:
4 And I will set them a vexation, To all the kingdoms of the earth, For Manasse, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, On account of what he did in Jerusalem.
5 For who will pity thee, O Jerusalem? And who will condole with thee? And who will turn aside To inquire of thy welfare?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith Jehovah; Backward hast thou gone; I will therefore stretch my hand against thee, And I will destroy thee; I am wearied with repenting:
7 And I will fan them with a fan Through all the gates of the earth; I have bereaved,
I destroyed my people; From their own ways they have not returned.
8 Multiplied have their widows to me Above the sand of the sea; I brought to them, on the troop of youths, A waster at mid-day; And I cast on them suddenly A tumult and terrors.
9 Weakened did she become who had born seven, Expire did her soul, Go down did her sun while it was yet day, Confounded has she been and ashamed: And the remainder of them to the sword will I give, Before their enemies, saith Jehovah.
480The beginning of this chapter is evidently connected with the end of the last, and ought not to have been separated. — Ed.
JOHN CALVIN
10 Wo to me, my mother! That thou hast born me a man of strife, And a man of contention to the whole land: I have not lent on usury, And they have not on usury lent to me; Yet every one curses me.
11 And Jehovah said, --- Surely thy latter end shall be well; Surely I will cause to meet thee the enemy, In the time of evil and in the time of distress. (2:273)
12 Shall iron break The iron from the north and the steel!
13 Thy wealth and thy treasures To plunder will I give, Not in exchange, but for all thy wickedness, And for all thy counsels:
14 And I will make thee to pass to the enemy Into a land which thou knowest not;
For a fire is kindled in my wrath, On you it shall burn.
15 Thou knowest, O Jehovah, Remember me and visit me, And avenge me on my persecutors, Lest thou shouldest take me away By protracting thy wrath: Know that for thee have I borne reproach. (2:280)
16 Found were thy words, and I did eat them; And thy word was my joy and the gladness of my heart; For called on me was thy name, O Jehovah, the God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of mockers, Nor exulted on account of thy hand; I sat apart, for with indignation Hast thou filled me.
18 Why is my pain strong, and my stroke incurable, And refuses to be healed?
Wilt thou be to me As the deception of unfaithful waters?
19 Therefore, thus saith Jehovah, --- If thou wilt be turned, then I will turn thee,
That thou mayest stand before me; And if thou separatest the precious from the worthless, As my mouth shalt thou be: Let them turn to thee, but turn not thou to them.
20 I have even made thee to this people A wall of brass, fortified; They shall therefore fight against thee, But over thee they shall not prevail; For with thee am I to save thee, And to deliver thee, saith Jehovah:
21 Yea, I will save thee from the hand of the wicked, And deliver thee from the hand of the strong. (2:300)
1 Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying, ---
2 Take not to thee a wife, And have no sons and daughters in this place:
3 For thus saith Jehovah, --- As to the sons and daughters, born in this place, And as to the mothers who shall bear them, And as to the fathers, who shall beget them in this land ---
4 With deaths of sicknesses shall they die, They shall not be lamented nor buried;
As dung on the face of the earth shall they be; With the sword also and the famine shall they be consumed, And their carcasses shall be for meat To the birds of heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. (2:305)
5 For thus saith Jehovah, --- Enter not the house of mourning Nor go to lament, nor be moved for them; For I have taken away my peace From this people, saith
Jehovah, My kindness also and mercies:
6 And die shall they, great and small, in this land; They shall not be buried, Nor shall any lament for them nor cut themselves, Nor shall baldness be made for them;
7 And they shall not for them smite the hand, To console them for the dead; Nor shall they drink to them the cup of consolations, For their father or for their mother.
8 The house of feasting also enter not, To sit with them to eat and to drink;
9 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, --- Behold, I will take away from this place Before your eyes and in your days, The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 And it shall be, when thou declarest to this people All these words, that they will say to thee, --- ``Why has Jehovah spoken against us All this great evil? And what is our iniquity? and what is our sin? Which we have wickedly done against Jehovah, our God.''
11 Then thou shalt say to them, --- Because your fathers forsook me, saith Jeho-
JOHN CALVIN
vah: For they went after foreign gods, And served them and bowed down to them,
And me they forsook, and my law they did not keep;
12 And worse are ye become than your fathers; For, behold, ye have walked, every one of you, After the wickedness of his own evil heart, So as not to hearken to me.
13 I will therefore cast you out of this land, Into a land which ye have not known, nor your fathers, And there shall ye serve foreign gods, day and night; For I will shew you no favor.
14 Therefore, behold, the days will come, saith Jehovah, When it shall be no more said, Live does Jehovah, Who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt:
15 But, Live does Jehovah, who has brought up The children of Israel, from the land of the north, And from all the lands to which he had driven them; For I will restore them to the land Which I gave to their fathers.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah; And they shall fish them;
And afterwards I will send for many hunters, And they shall hunt them from every mountain, And from every hill and holes of rocks:
17 For mine eyes are on all their ways; They are not hid from my face, Nor are their iniquities hid from mine eyes:
18 And I will render double, from the beginning, For their iniquities and their sins;
For they have polluted my land With the carcasses of their abominations; And with their defilements Have they filled mine inheritance. (2:325)
19 O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, And my refuge in the day of distress,
To thee shall come the Gentiles From the extremities of the earth, and shall say, ---
falsehood did our fathers inherit; Vanity and nothing profitable had they.''
20 Can men make gods for themselves, When they themselves are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will make them to know at this time, I will make them to know My hand and my power; And they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
1 The sin of Judah is written With a pen of iron, with the point of adamant, It is graven on the tablet of their hearts, And on the horns of your altars:
2 For their children remember Their altars and their groves, Under the shady tree, on high hills.
3 Dweller on mountains! in the field will I give for spoil Thy wealth and all thy treasures, Because of thy high places, Because of thy sin in all thy borders:
4 And dismissed shalt thou be, even thyself, From thine inheritance which I gave thee; And I will make thee to serve thine enemies In a land which thou knowest not;
For ye have kindled a fire in my wrath, Perpetually shall it burn. (2:342)
5 Thus saith Jehovah, --- Cursed is the man who trusts in man, And makes flesh his arm, And whose heart turns away from Jehovah:
6 And he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, And shall dwell in dryness in the desert, In the land of salt and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, And whose hope Jehovah is:
8 And he shall be like a tree, That is planted near waters, And nigh the stream sends its roots, And shall not see when heat comes; And green shall be its leaf, And in the year of drought it shall not fear, Nor cease from bringing forth fruit. (2:347)
9 Insidious is the heart above all things, And vicious, --- who can know it?
10 I Jehovah, who search the heart And try the reins, to give to every one, According to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. (2:354)
11 A partridge, which gathers and produces not, Is he who gains riches, and not by right; In the midst of his days he leaves them, And at his end he is nothing.
12 A high throne of glory, from the beginning, Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 The hope of Israel art thou, Jehovah; All who thee forsake shall be ashamed:
They who turn aside shall on the earth be written; For they have forsaken The fountain of living waters, even Jehovah.
JOHN CALVIN
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, And I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For my praise art thou.
15 Behold they say to me, --- ``Where is the word of Jehovah? let it now come.''
16 But I hastened not to be a pastor following thee, And the day of grief I desired not, thou knowest: What went forth from my lips, Before thy face has it been.
17 Be not to me a terror; My protector art thou in the day of evil.
18 Ashamed let them be who persecute me, And let not me be ashamed; Terrified let them be, And let not me be terrified: Bring upon them the day of evil, And with a double breach break them.
19 Thus said Jehovah to me, --- Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter, and through which they go
20 out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; and say to them, --- Hear the words of
Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in through these
21 gates, Thus saith Jehovah, --- Take heed to yourselves, And bring not a burden on the Sabbath-day, Yea, bring it not through the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Nor bring a burden from your houses On the Sabbath-day, nor do any work,
But sanctify the Sabbath-day, As I commanded your fathers;
23 Though they heard not nor inclined their ear, But hardened their neck, So as not to hear nor receive correction:
24 And it shall be, if by hearing Ye will hear me, saith Jehovah, So as not to bring a burden Through the gates of the city on the Sabbath-day, And if ye sanctify the
Sabbath-day By doing on it no work;
25 Then shall enter through the gates of this city Kings and princes, sitting on
David's throne, Riding in chariots and on horses, They and their princes, the men of
Judah And the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And inhabited shall be this city perpetually:
26 And come shall they from the cities of Judah, And from the circuits of Jerusalem,
And from the land of Benjamin, And from the plain, and the mountain, and the south,
Bringing burnt-offering and sacrifice, And oblation and incense, And bringing praise, to the house of Jehovah. (2:388)
27 But if ye will not hearken to me, So as to sanctify the Sabbath-day, And not to bring a burden, nor enter Through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath-day; Then will I kindle a fire in its gates, And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, And it shall not be extinguished.
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, ---
2 Rise and go down to the potter's house, and I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 And I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the stone:
4 And the vessel was marred, which he made of the clay in the hand of the potter; and he again made another vessel, as it seemed good in the eyes of the potter to make.
5 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, ---
6 Cannot I as this potter do to you, O house of Israel? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay is in the hand of the potter, So are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 Suddenly will I speak of a nation and a kingdom, To pull down and to eradicate and to destroy:
8 If that nation turn from its evil, For which I spoke against it; Then will I repent of the evil Which I had thought of doing to it.
9 Suddenly also will I speak of a nation and a kingdom, To build up and to plant:
10 But if it do evil before mine eyes, So as not to hearken to my voice; Then will
I repent of the good Which I had said that I would do to it. (2:398)
11 And now, I pray, say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, --- Thus saith Jehovah, --- Behold, I frame for you an evil, And I think for you a thought; Return ye then, every one from his evil way, And make right your ways and your doings.
12 And they said, --- It is all over; For after our own thoughts will we walk, And we will do, every one, The wickedness of his own evil heart.
13 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, --- Ask, I pray, among the heathens, Who hath heard such a thing? A monstrous thing hath the virgin of Israel done.
14 Will any one leave the snow of Libanus from the rock of the field? Will waters
JOHN CALVIN
brought from another place, And cold streams, be relinquished? (2:408)
15 For forgotten me have my people; In vain do they offer incense, Since they have made them to stumble In their ways --- the paths of ages, That they might walk in paths, In a way not trodden;
16 To make their land a desolation, A perpetual hissing: Whosoever shall pass through it Shall be astonished and shake his head.
17 By the east wind will I scatter them Before the face of the enemy; The back and not the face will I shew them In the day of their calamity.
18 And they said, --- Come, and let us think thoughts against Jeremiah; For perish shall not the law from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet: And let us smite him with the tongue, And not attend to any of his words.
19 Hearken, O Jehovah, to me, And hear the voice of those who contend with me.
20 Shall evil be rendered for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul: Remember that I stood before thee To speak good for them --- To turn away from them thy wrath.
21 Therefore give their children up to famine, And deliver them into the hands of the sword, And let their wives be bereaved and be widows, And their men be smitten to death, And their youths be smitten with the sword in battle:
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, When thou bringest on them an army suddenly; For they have dug a pit to take me, And snares have they hid for my feet.
23 And thou, Jehovah, who knowest their counsels To be against me for death, Be not propitious to their iniquity, And their sin from thy sight blot not out, But let them stumble before thee; In the time of thy wrath deal thus with them.
1 Thus saith Jehovah, --- Go and get a potter's vessel, even with the elders of the people and with the elders of the priests;
2 And enter into the valley of Hinnom, which is at the entrance of the oriental gate, and proclaim there the words which I shall speak to thee:
3 And thou shalt say, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, --- Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, --- Behold I bring an evil on this place, The which whosoever hears, tingle shall his ears:
4 Because they have forsaken me, And have alienated this place, And have made incense in it to foreign gods, Whom they have not themselves known, Nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah, And have filled this place With the blood of innocents:
5 And they have built high places to Baal, To burn their sons with fire, For a burntoffering to Baal; Which I have not commanded nor spoken of, And which came not into my mind.
6 Therefore behold the days shall come, saith Jehovah, When this place shall no more be called Tophet, Nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, But, The valley of slaughter:
7 And void will I make the counsel of Judah And of Jerusalem in this place, And lay them prostrate by the sword before their enemies, And by the hand of those who seek their life; And I will give their carcasses for meat To the birds of heaven and to the beasts of the earth;
8 And will set this city For an astonishment and for hissing; Whosoever shall pass through it shall be astonished, And shall hiss on account of all her stroke:
9 And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, And with the flesh of their daughters; And they shall eat, every one the flesh of his friend, In the tribulation and straitness, By which their enemies shall straiten them, And those who seek their life.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the presence of the men who shall go with
JOHN CALVIN
thee;
11 And thou shalt say to them, --- Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, --- So will I break this people and this city, As one breaks an earthen vessel, Which can no more be repaired: And in Tophet shall they be buried, For there will be no other place to bury them:
12 Thus will I do to this place, Saith Jehovah, and to its inhabitants, I will even make this city like Tophet;
13 For the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses of the kings of Judah, Shall be, like the place of Tophet, unclean, Even all the houses, on whose roofs They have made incense to all the host of heaven, And poured a libation to foreign gods.
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and stood in the court of the house of Jehovah, and said to the whole people, ---
15 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, --- Behold, I will bring upon this city And upon all her towns, all the evil Which I have pronounced against her;
Because they have hardened their neck, That they might not hear my words.
