Book 24: Jeremiah

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

Jeremiah 6:19 “Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. To what purpose cometh there to me incense from She’-ba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.”

Jeremiah 10:13 “When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.”

Jeremiah 13:1 “Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Eu-phra’-tes, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. So I went, and hid it by Eu-phra’-tes, as the LORD commanded me. And it came to pass after many days, that the lord said unto me, Arise, go to Eu-phra’-tes, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. Then I went to Eu-phra’-tes, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.”

Jeremiah 18:1 “The word which came to Jer-e-mi’ah from the LORD. saying, “Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.”

Jeremiah 22: 5 “But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the lord, that this house shall become a desolation. For thus saith the LORD unto the king’s house of Ju’-dah; Thou art Gil’-e-ad unto me, and the head of Leb’-a-non; yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. And I will prepare destroyers agains thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.”

Jeremiah 24:1 “The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Neb-u-chad-rez’-zar king of Bab’-y-lon had carried away captive Jec-o-no’-ah the son of Je-hoi’-a-kim king of Ju’-dah, and the princes of Ju’-dah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Je-ru’-sa-lem, and had brought them to Bab’-y-lon. One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad. Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jer-e-mi’-ah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.”

Jeremiah 27:21 “Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is’-ra-el, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Ju’-dah and of Je-ru’-sa-lem; They shall be carried to Bab’-y-lon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.”

Jeremiah 31:13 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And i will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 32:42 “For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.”

Jeremiah 36:11: When Mi-chai’-ah the son of Gem-a-ri’-ah, the son of Sha’-phan, had heard out of the book all the words of the lORD, Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even E-li’-sha-ma the scribe, and Del-ai’-ah the son of Shem-ai’-ah, and El-na’-than the son of Ach’-bor, and Gem-a-ri’-ah the son of Sha’-phan, and Zed-e-ki’-ah the son of Han-a-ni’-ah, and all the princes. Then Mi-chai’-ah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Ba’-ruch read the book in the ears of the people.”

Jeremiah 38:10 “Then the king commanded E’-bed-me’-lech the E-thi-o’-pian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jer-e-mi’-ah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. So E’-bed-me’-lech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jer-e-mi’-ah.”

Jeremiah 42:18 “For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is’-ra-el; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Je-ru’-sa-lem; so shall my fury be poured upon you, when ye shall enter into E’-gypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.”

Jeremiah 45:5 “And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.”

Jeremiah 50:38 “A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.”

Jeremiah 52:15 “Then Neb-u’-zar-ad’-an the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Bab’-y-lon, and the rest of the multitude. But Neb-u’-zar-ad’-an the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.”
