iniquity? or what
is
our sin that we have committed against the L
ORD
our God?
11
Then shalt thou
say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the L
ORD
, and have walked after other
gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept
my law;
12
And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the
imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
13
Therefore will I cast you out
of this land into a land that ye know not,
neither
ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other
gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
14
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the L
ORD
, that it shall no more be said, The L
ORD
liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15
But, The L
ORD
liveth, that
brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had
driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
16
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the L
ORD
, and they shall fish them; and after will
I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and
out of the holes of the rocks.
17
For mine eyes
are
upon all their ways: they are not hid from my
face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18
And first I will recompense their iniquity and
their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the
carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19
O L
ORD
, my strength, and my fortress, and
my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and
shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and
things
wherein
there is
no profit.
20
Shall
a man make gods unto himself, and they
are
no gods?
21
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause
them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my
name
is
The L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 17
The sin of Judah
is
written with a pen of iron,
and
with the point of a diamond:
it is
graven upon
the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2
Whilst their children remember their
altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
3
O my mountain in the field, I will
give thy substance
and
all thy treasures to the spoil,
and
thy high places for sin, throughout all thy
borders.
4
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will
cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in
mine anger,
which
shall burn for ever.
5
Thus saith the L
ORD
; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and
whose heart departeth from the L
ORD
.
6
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not
see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in
a salt land and not
inhabited.
7
Blessed
is
the man that trusteth in the L
ORD
, and whose hope the L
ORD
is.
8
For he shall
be as a tree planted by the waters, and
that
spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see
