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.

Jeremiah 17
Common English Bible
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.

Jeremiah 17
New International Version
17 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool,(A)
inscribed with a flint point,
on the tablets of their hearts(B)
and on the horns(C) of their altars.
2 Even their children remember
their altars and Asherah poles[a](D)
beside the spreading trees
and on the high hills.(E)
3 My mountain in the land
and your[b] wealth and all your treasures
I will give away as plunder,(F)
together with your high places,(G)
because of sin throughout your country.(H)
4 Through your own fault you will lose
the inheritance(I) I gave you.
I will enslave you to your enemies(J)
in a land(K) you do not know,
for you have kindled my anger,
and it will burn(L) forever.”
5 This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,(M)
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.(N)
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places(O) of the desert,
in a salt(P) land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed(Q) is the one who trusts(R) in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.(S)
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(T)
and never fails to bear fruit.”(U)
9 The heart(V) is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart(W)
and examine the mind,(X)
to reward(Y) each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”(Z)
11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools.(AA)
12 A glorious throne,(AB) exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope(AC) of Israel;
all who forsake(AD) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust(AE)
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.(AF)
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;(AG)
save(AH) me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.(AI)
15 They keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it now be fulfilled!”(AJ)
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(AK) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(AL) to me;
you are my refuge(AM) in the day of disaster.(AN)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(AO)
Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy
19 This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and stand at the Gate of the People,[c] through which the kings of Judah go in and out; stand also at all the other gates of Jerusalem.(AP) 20 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah and all people of Judah and everyone living in Jerusalem(AQ) who come through these gates.(AR) 21 This is what the Lord says: Be careful not to carry a load on the Sabbath(AS) day or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem. 22 Do not bring a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors.(AT) 23 Yet they did not listen or pay attention;(AU) they were stiff-necked(AV) and would not listen or respond to discipline.(AW) 24 But if you are careful to obey me, declares the Lord, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy(AX) by not doing any work on it, 25 then kings who sit on David’s throne(AY) will come through the gates of this city with their officials. They and their officials will come riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by the men of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.(AZ) 26 People will come from the towns of Judah and the villages around Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin and the western foothills, from the hill country and the Negev,(BA) bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27 But if you do not obey(BB) me to keep the Sabbath(BC) day holy by not carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire(BD) in the gates of Jerusalem that will consume her fortresses.’”(BE)
