Jeremiah - Chapter: 3

>
3:1They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
3:2Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3:3Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
3:4Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
3:5Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
3:6The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
3:7And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
3:8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
3:9And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
3:10And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
3:11And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
3:12Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
3:13Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
3:14Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
3:15And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
3:16And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
3:17At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
3:18In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
3:19But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
3:20Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
3:21A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
3:22Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
3:23Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
3:24For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
3:25We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.

 

3:1לאמר הן ישׁלח אישׁ את אשׁתו והלכה מאתו והיתה לאישׁ אחר הישׁוב אליה עוד הלוא חנוף תחנף הארץ ההיא ואת זנית רעים רבים ושׁוב אלי נאם יהוה׃
3:2שׂאי עיניך על שׁפים וראי איפה לא שׁגלת על דרכים ישׁבת להם כערבי במדבר ותחניפי ארץ בזנותיך וברעתך׃
3:3וימנעו רבבים ומלקושׁ לוא היה ומצח אשׁה זונה היה לך מאנת הכלם׃
3:4הלוא מעתה קראתי לי אבי אלוף נערי אתה׃
3:5הינטר לעולם אם ישׁמר לנצח הנה דברתי ותעשׂי הרעות ותוכל׃
3:6ויאמר יהוה אלי בימי יאשׁיהו המלך הראית אשׁר עשׂתה משׁבה ישׂראל הלכה היא על כל הר גבה ואל תחת כל עץ רענן ותזני שׁם׃
3:7ואמר אחרי עשׂותה את כל אלה אלי תשׁוב ולא שׁבה ותראה בגודה אחותה יהודה׃
3:8וארא כי על כל אדות אשׁר נאפה משׁבה ישׂראל שׁלחתיה ואתן את ספר כריתתיה אליה ולא יראה בגדה יהודה אחותה ותלך ותזן גם היא׃
3:9והיה מקל זנותה ותחנף את הארץ ותנאף את האבן ואת העץ׃
3:10וגם בכל זאת לא שׁבה אלי בגודה אחותה יהודה בכל לבה כי אם בשׁקר נאם יהוה׃
3:11ויאמר יהוה אלי צדקה נפשׁה משׁבה ישׂראל מבגדה יהודה׃
3:12הלך וקראת את הדברים האלה צפונה ואמרת שׁובה משׁבה ישׂראל נאם יהוה לוא אפיל פני בכם כי חסיד אני נאם יהוה לא אטור לעולם׃
3:13אך דעי עונך כי ביהוה אלהיך פשׁעת ותפזרי את דרכיך לזרים תחת כל עץ רענן ובקולי לא שׁמעתם נאם יהוה׃
3:14שׁובו בנים שׁובבים נאם יהוה כי אנכי בעלתי בכם ולקחתי אתכם אחד מעיר ושׁנים ממשׁפחה והבאתי אתכם ציון׃
3:15ונתתי לכם רעים כלבי ורעו אתכם דעה והשׂכיל׃
3:16והיה כי תרבו ופריתם בארץ בימים ההמה נאם יהוה לא יאמרו עוד ארון ברית יהוה ולא יעלה על לב ולא יזכרו בו ולא יפקדו ולא יעשׂה עוד׃
3:17בעת ההיא יקראו לירושׁלם כסא יהוה ונקוו אליה כל הגוים לשׁם יהוה לירושׁלם ולא ילכו עוד אחרי שׁררות לבם הרע׃
3:18בימים ההמה ילכו בית יהודה על בית ישׂראל ויבאו יחדו מארץ צפון על הארץ אשׁר הנחלתי את אבותיכם׃
3:19ואנכי אמרתי איך אשׁיתך בבנים ואתן לך ארץ חמדה נחלת צבי צבאות גוים ואמר אבי תקראו לי ומאחרי לא תשׁובו׃
3:20אכן בגדה אשׁה מרעה כן בגדתם בי בית ישׂראל נאם יהוה׃
3:21קול על שׁפיים נשׁמע בכי תחנוני בני ישׂראל כי העוו את דרכם שׁכחו את יהוה אלהיהם׃
3:22שׁובו בנים שׁובבים ארפה משׁובתיכם הננו אתנו לך כי אתה יהוה אלהינו׃
3:23אכן לשׁקר מגבעות המון הרים אכן ביהוה אלהינו תשׁועת ישׂראל׃
3:24והבשׁת אכלה את יגיע אבותינו מנעורינו את צאנם ואת בקרם את בניהם ואת בנותיהם׃
3:25נשׁכבה בבשׁתנו ותכסנו כלמתנו כי ליהוה אלהינו חטאנו אנחנו ואבותינו מנעורינו ועד היום הזה ולא שׁמענו בקול יהוה אלהינו׃

 

3:1Saying, `Lo, one sendeth away his wife, And she hath gone from him, And she hath been to another man, Doth he turn back unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And thou hast committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
3:2Lift thine eyes to the high places, and see, Where hast thou not been lain with? On the ways thou hast sat for them, As an Arab in a wilderness, And thou defilest the land, By thy fornications, and by thy wickedness.
3:3And withheld are showers, and gathered rain hath not been. The forehead of a whorish woman thou hast, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
3:4Hast thou not henceforth called to Me, `My father, Thou `art' the leader of my youth?
3:5Doth He keep to the age? watch for ever?' Lo, these things thou hast spoken, And thou dost the evil things, and prevailest.
3:6And Jehovah saith unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, `Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green tree, and committeth fornication there.
3:7And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me thou dost turn back, and she hath not turned back, and see `it' doth her treacherous sister Judah.
3:8And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister hath not feared, and goeth and committeth fornication -- she also.
3:9And it hath come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she committeth fornication with stone and with wood.
3:10And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned back unto Me with all her heart, but with falsehood, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
3:11And Jehovah saith unto me: `Justified herself hath backsliding Israel, More than treacherous Judah.
3:12Go, and thou hast proclaimed these words toward the north, and hast said, Turn back, O backsliding Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah! I cause not Mine anger to fall upon you, For I `am' kind, an affirmation of Jehovah, I watch not to the age.
3:13Only, know thine iniquity, For against Jehovah thy God thou hast transgressed, And thou dost scatter thy ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And to My voice thou hast not hearkened, An affirmation of Jehovah.
3:14Turn back, O backsliding sons, An affirmation of Jehovah. For I have ruled over you, And taken you one of a city, and two of a family, And have brought you to Zion,
3:15And I have given to you shepherds According to Mine own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
3:16And it hath come to pass, when ye are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days -- an affirmation of Jehovah, They say not any more, `The ark of the covenant of Jehovah,' Nor doth it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
3:17At that time they cry to Jerusalem, `O throne of Jehovah,' And gathered unto her hath been all the nations, For the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
3:18In those days do the house of Judah Go unto the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, unto the land That I caused your fathers to inherit.
3:19And I have said, How do I put thee among the sons, And give to thee a desirable land, A beauteous inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, My father -- ye do call to Me, And from after Me ye do not turn back.
3:20But -- a woman hath deceived her friend, So ye have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah.
3:21A voice on high places is heard -- weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way, They have forgotten Jehovah their God.
3:22Turn back, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease. -- Behold us, we have come to Thee, For Thou `art' Jehovah our God.
3:23Surely in vain from the heights, The multitude of mountains -- Surely in Jehovah our God `is' the salvation of Israel.
3:24And the shameful thing hath devoured The labour of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
3:25We have lain down in our shame, and cover us doth our confusion, For against Jehovah our God we have sinned, We, and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, Nor have we hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God!
