Jeremías 17
Reina-Valera 1960
El pecado escrito en el corazón de Judá
17 El pecado de Judá escrito está con cincel de hierro y con punta de diamante; esculpido está en la tabla de su corazón, y en los cuernos de sus altares, 2 mientras sus hijos se acuerdan de sus altares y de sus imágenes de Asera, que están junto a los árboles frondosos y en los collados altos, 3 sobre las montañas y sobre el campo. Todos tus tesoros entregaré al pillaje por el pecado de tus lugares altos en todo tu territorio. 4 Y perderás la heredad que yo te di, y te haré servir a tus enemigos en tierra que no conociste; porque fuego habéis encendido en mi furor, que para siempre arderá.
5 Así ha dicho Jehová: Maldito el varón que confía en el hombre, y pone carne por su brazo, y su corazón se aparta de Jehová. 6 Será como la retama en el desierto, y no verá cuando viene el bien, sino que morará en los sequedales en el desierto, en tierra despoblada y deshabitada.
7 Bendito el varón que confía en Jehová, y cuya confianza es Jehová. 8 Porque será como el árbol plantado junto a las aguas,(A) que junto a la corriente echará sus raíces, y no verá cuando viene el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de dar fruto.
9 Engañoso es el corazón más que todas las cosas, y perverso; ¿quién lo conocerá? 10 Yo Jehová, que escudriño la mente, que pruebo el corazón,(B) para dar a cada uno según su camino,(C) según el fruto de sus obras.
11 Como la perdiz que cubre lo que no puso, es el que injustamente amontona riquezas; en la mitad de sus días las dejará, y en su postrimería será insensato.
12 Trono de gloria, excelso desde el principio, es el lugar de nuestro santuario. 13 ¡Oh Jehová, esperanza de Israel!, todos los que te dejan serán avergonzados; y los que se apartan de mí serán escritos en el polvo, porque dejaron a Jehová, manantial de aguas vivas.
14 Sáname, oh Jehová, y seré sano; sálvame, y seré salvo; porque tú eres mi alabanza. 15 He aquí que ellos me dicen: ¿Dónde está la palabra de Jehová? ¡Que se cumpla ahora! 16 Mas yo no he ido en pos de ti para incitarte a su castigo, ni deseé día de calamidad, tú lo sabes. Lo que de mi boca ha salido, fue en tu presencia. 17 No me seas tú por espanto, pues mi refugio eres tú en el día malo. 18 Avergüéncense los que me persiguen, y no me avergüence yo; asómbrense ellos, y yo no me asombre; trae sobre ellos día malo, y quebrántalos con doble quebrantamiento.
Observancia del día de reposo
19 Así me ha dicho Jehová: Ve y ponte a la puerta de los hijos del pueblo, por la cual entran y salen los reyes de Judá, y ponte en todas las puertas de Jerusalén, 20 y diles: Oíd la palabra de Jehová, reyes de Judá, y todo Judá y todos los moradores de Jerusalén que entráis por estas puertas. 21 Así ha dicho Jehová: Guardaos por vuestra vida de llevar carga en el día de reposo,[a] y de meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén.(D) 22 Ni saquéis carga de vuestras casas en el día de reposo,[b] ni hagáis trabajo alguno, sino santificad el día de reposo,[c] como mandé a vuestros padres.(E) 23 Pero ellos no oyeron, ni inclinaron su oído, sino endurecieron su cerviz para no oír, ni recibir corrección.
24 No obstante, si vosotros me obedeciereis, dice Jehová, no metiendo carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en el día de reposo,[d] sino que santificareis el día de reposo,[e] no haciendo en él ningún trabajo, 25 entrarán por las puertas de esta ciudad, en carros y en caballos, los reyes y los príncipes que se sientan sobre el trono de David, ellos y sus príncipes, los varones de Judá y los moradores de Jerusalén; y esta ciudad será habitada para siempre. 26 Y vendrán de las ciudades de Judá, de los alrededores de Jerusalén, de tierra de Benjamín, de la Sefela, de los montes y del Neguev, trayendo holocausto y sacrificio, y ofrenda e incienso, y trayendo sacrificio de alabanza a la casa de Jehová. 27 Pero si no me oyereis para santificar el día de reposo,[f] y para no traer carga ni meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén en día de reposo,[g] yo haré descender fuego en sus puertas, y consumirá los palacios de Jerusalén, y no se apagará.

17 Judah’s sin is engraved
with an iron pen.
It’s etched with a diamond point
on the tablets of their hearts
and on the horns of their altars.
2 Their children remember their altars and sacred poles[a]
by the lush trees and high hills.
3 Because you have committed such sins throughout your country,
I will give to your enemies
my mountain in the land,
as well as your wealth and all that you treasure.[b]
4 You will lose the inheritance that I gave you.
I will make you slaves of your enemies
in a land you don’t know,
for my anger blazes like a fire
that won’t go out.
5 The Lord proclaims:
Cursed are those who trust in mere humans,
who depend on human strength
and turn their hearts from the Lord.
6 They will be like a desert shrub
that doesn’t know when relief comes.
They will live in the parched places of the wilderness,
in a barren land where no one survives.
7 Happy are those who trust in the Lord,
who rely on the Lord.
8 They will be like trees planted by the streams,
whose roots reach down to the water.
They won’t fear drought when it comes;
their leaves will remain green.
They won’t be stressed in the time of drought
or fail to bear fruit.
9 The most cunning heart—
it’s beyond help.
Who can figure it out?
10 I, the Lord, probe the heart
and discern hidden motives,
to give everyone what they deserve,
the consequences of their deeds.
11 Like a partridge gathering a brood that is not its own,
so are those who acquire their wealth corruptly.
By midlife it will be gone;
afterward they will look like fools.
12 Splendid and exalted throne,
the place of our sanctuary
from the beginning!
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will suffer disgrace;
those who turn away from you[c] in the land
will be written off,[d]
for they have abandoned the Lord,
the fountain of living water.
14 Heal me, Lord, and I’ll be healed.
Save me and I’ll be saved,
for you are my heart’s desire.
15 See how they harass me:
“Where’s the Lord’s word?
Let it come now!”
16 Yet I didn’t urge you to bring disaster;[e]
I didn’t want the calamity to happen.
You know what comes out of my mouth;
it’s always before you.
17 Don’t terrorize me;
you are my refuge in time of disaster.
18 Let my tormentors be disgraced, but not me;
let them be terrorized, but not me.
Bring on them the time of disaster,
as they deserve; destroy them repeatedly.
19 The Lord proclaimed to me: Go and stand by the People’s Gate where Judah’s kings go in and out, and then by all the gates of Jerusalem, 20 and say to them: Listen to the Lord’s word, you kings of Judah, all you people of Judah, and anyone living in Jerusalem who passes through these gates. 21 The Lord says: Be on guard not to carry a load on the Sabbath day or conduct business at the gates of Jerusalem. 22 Don’t carry a load from your houses or do any kind of work on the Sabbath day. Rather, keep the Sabbath day holy as I commanded your ancestors, 23 although they didn’t listen or pay attention. They were stubborn and wouldn’t obey or accept correction. 24 If you are careful to obey me, declares the Lord, and don’t conduct business at the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, if you keep the Sabbath day holy by not working, 25 then through the gates of this city will come kings who occupy the throne of David and their officers, all riding on chariots and horses. They will be accompanied by the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. And this city will always be inhabited. 26 Others will come from the towns of Judah and Benjamin, from all around Jerusalem, and from the western foothills, the highlands, and the arid southern plain—they will come bringing entirely burned offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, incense, and thanksgiving offerings to the Lord’s temple. 27 But if you don’t obey me by keeping the Sabbath day holy, if you carry your loads and conduct your business at the gates of Jerusalem as usual, then I will set fire to those gates that will completely engulf the fortresses of Jerusalem; it will not be put out.

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 Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
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 Lord, and whose hope the Lord 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 when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Thus said the Lord unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
