7 Orðið sem kom til Jeremía frá Drottni:
2 Nem staðar við hlið musteris Drottins og boða þar þessi orð og seg: Heyrið orð Drottins, allir Júdamenn, þér sem gangið inn um þetta hlið til þess að falla fram fyrir Drottni.
3 Svo segir Drottinn allsherjar, Guð Ísraels: Bætið breytni yðar og gjörðir, þá mun ég láta yður búa á þessum stað.
4 Reiðið yður ekki á lygatal, er menn segja: "Þetta er musteri Drottins, musteri Drottins, musteri Drottins."
5 En ef þér bætið breytni yðar og gjörðir alvarlega, ef þér iðkið réttlæti í þrætum manna á milli,
6 undirokið ekki útlendinga, munaðarleysingja og ekkjur, og úthellið ekki saklausu blóði á þessum stað, og eltið ekki aðra guði, yður til tjóns,
7 þá vil ég láta yður búa á þessum stað, í landinu, sem ég gaf feðrum yðar, frá eilífð til eilífðar.
8 Sjá, þér reiðið yður á lygaræður, sem ekki eru til nokkurs gagns.
9 Er ekki svo: Stela, myrða, drýgja hór, sverja meinsæri, færa Baal reykelsisfórnir og elta aðra guði, er þér ekki þekkið,
10 og síðan komið þér og gangið fram fyrir mig í þessu húsi, sem kennt er við nafn mitt, og segið: "Oss er borgið!" og fremjið síðan að nýju allar þessar svívirðingar.
11 Er þá hús þetta, sem kennt er við nafn mitt, orðið að ræningjabæli í augum yðar? Já, ég lít svo á _ segir Drottinn.
12 Farið til bústaðar míns í Síló, þar sem ég forðum daga lét nafn mitt búa, og sjáið, hvernig ég hefi farið með hann fyrir sakir illsku lýðs míns Ísraels.
13 Og þar eð þér nú hafið framið öll þessi verk _ segir Drottinn _ og eigi hlýtt, þótt ég hafi talað til yðar seint og snemma, og eigi svarað, þótt ég hafi kallað á yður,
14 þá ætla ég að fara með húsið, sem kennt er við nafn mitt og þér treystið á, og staðinn, sem ég hefi gefið yður og feðrum yðar, eins og ég fór með Síló,
15 og útskúfa yður frá augliti mínu, eins og ég útskúfaði bræðrum yðar, öllum niðjum Efraíms.
16 Þú skalt ekki biðja fyrir þessum lýð og ekki hefja þeirra vegna grátbeiðni né fyrirbón, og legg ekki að mér, því að ég heyri þig ekki.
17 Sér þú ekki hvað þeir hafast að í Júdaborgum og á strætum Jerúsalem?
18 Börnin tína saman eldivið og feðurnir kveikja eldinn, en konurnar hnoða deig til þess að gjöra af fórnarkökur handa himnadrottningunni, og færa öðrum guðum dreypifórnir til þess að skaprauna mér.
19 En skaprauna þeir mér _ segir Drottinn _, hvort ekki miklu fremur sjálfum sér, til þess að þeir verði sér herfilega til skammar?
20 Fyrir því segir herrann Drottinn svo: Reiði minni og heift mun úthellt verða yfir þennan stað, yfir menn og skepnur, yfir tré merkurinnar og yfir ávexti akurlendisins, _ og hún skal brenna og eigi slokkna.
21 Svo segir Drottinn allsherjar, Ísraels Guð: Bætið brennifórnum yðar við sláturfórnir yðar og etið kjöt!
22 Því að ég hefi ekkert talað til feðra yðar né boðið þeim nokkuð um brennifórnir og sláturfórnir, þá er ég leiddi þá burt af Egyptalandi.
23 En þetta hefi ég boðið þeim: Hlýðið minni raustu, þá skal ég vera yðar Guð og þér skuluð vera mín þjóð, og gangið jafnan á þeim vegi, sem ég býð yður, til þess að yður vegni vel.
24 En þeir heyrðu ekki og lögðu ekki við eyrun, en fóru eftir vélráðum síns illa hjarta og sneru við mér bakinu, en ekki andlitinu.
25 Frá þeim degi, er feður yðar fóru burt af Egyptalandi, og fram á þennan dag, hefi ég stöðugt dag eftir dag sent þjóna mína, spámennina, til yðar.
26 En þeir heyrðu mig ekki og lögðu ekki við eyrun, heldur gjörðust harðsvíraðir og breyttu enn verr en feður þeirra.
27 Og þótt þú talir öll þessi orð til þeirra, munu þeir ekki hlýða á þig, og þótt þú kallir til þeirra, munu þeir ekki svara þér.
28 Seg því við þá: Þetta er þjóðin, sem eigi hlýðir raustu Drottins, Guðs síns, og engri umvöndun tekur. Horfin er trúfestin, já, upprætt úr munni þeirra.
29 Sker af þér höfuðprýði þína og varpa henni frá þér og hef upp harmakvein á skóglausu hæðunum, því að Drottinn hefir hafnað og útskúfað þeirri kynslóð, sem hann reiddist.
30 Júdamenn hafa gjört það, sem illt er í mínum augum _ segir Drottinn _, þeir hafa reist upp viðurstyggðir sínar í húsi því, sem kennt er við nafn mitt, og saurgað það
31 og byggt Tófet-fórnarhæðir í Hinnomssonar-dal til þess að brenna sonu sína og dætur í eldi, sem ég hefi ekki boðið og mér hefir ekki í hug komið!
32 Sjá, fyrir því munu þeir dagar koma _ segir Drottinn _, að eigi mun framar verða talað um "Tófet" og "Hinnomssonar-dal," heldur um "Drápsdal," og menn munu jarða í Tófet vegna rúmleysis.
33 Lík þessa lýðs munu verða æti fyrir fugla himinsins og dýr jarðarinnar, og enginn mun fæla þau burt.
34 Þá mun ég láta öll ánægju- og gleðihljóð, öll fagnaðarlæti brúðguma og brúðar hverfa burt úr Júdaborgum og af strætum Jerúsalem, því að landið skal verða auðn.

False Religion Worthless
7 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Stand(A) at the gate of the Lord’s house and there proclaim this message:
“‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord. 3 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways(B) and your actions, and I will let you live(C) in this place. 4 Do not trust(D) in deceptive(E) words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!” 5 If you really change(F) your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly,(G) 6 if you do not oppress(H) the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood(I) in this place, and if you do not follow other gods(J) to your own harm, 7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land(K) I gave your ancestors(L) for ever and ever. 8 But look, you are trusting(M) in deceptive(N) words that are worthless.
9 “‘Will you steal(O) and murder,(P) commit adultery(Q) and perjury,[a](R) burn incense to Baal(S) and follow other gods(T) you have not known, 10 and then come and stand(U) before me in this house,(V) which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?(W) 11 Has this house,(X) which bears my Name, become a den of robbers(Y) to you? But I have been watching!(Z) declares the Lord.
12 “‘Go now to the place in Shiloh(AA) where I first made a dwelling(AB) for my Name,(AC) and see what I did(AD) to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord, I spoke(AE) to you again and again,(AF) but you did not listen;(AG) I called(AH) you, but you did not answer.(AI) 14 Therefore, what I did to Shiloh(AJ) I will now do to the house that bears my Name,(AK) the temple(AL) you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. 15 I will thrust you from my presence,(AM) just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’(AN)
16 “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea(AO) or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen(AP) to you. 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven.(AQ) They pour out drink offerings(AR) to other gods to arouse(AS) my anger. 19 But am I the one they are provoking?(AT) declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?(AU)
20 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign(AV) Lord says: My anger(AW) and my wrath will be poured(AX) out on this place—on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the crops of your land—and it will burn and not be quenched.(AY)
21 “‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices(AZ) and eat(BA) the meat yourselves! 22 For when I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands(BB) about burnt offerings and sacrifices,(BC) 23 but I gave them this command:(BD) Obey(BE) me, and I will be your God and you will be my people.(BF) Walk in obedience to all(BG) I command you, that it may go well(BH) with you. 24 But they did not listen(BI) or pay attention;(BJ) instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts.(BK) They went backward(BL) and not forward. 25 From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again(BM) I sent you my servants(BN) the prophets.(BO) 26 But they did not listen to me or pay attention.(BP) They were stiff-necked(BQ) and did more evil than their ancestors.’(BR)
27 “When you tell(BS) them all this, they will not listen(BT) to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.(BU) 28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction.(BV) Truth(BW) has perished; it has vanished from their lips.
29 “‘Cut off(BX) your hair and throw it away; take up a lament(BY) on the barren heights, for the Lord has rejected and abandoned(BZ) this generation that is under his wrath.
The Valley of Slaughter
30 “‘The people of Judah have done evil(CA) in my eyes, declares the Lord. They have set up their detestable idols(CB) in the house that bears my Name and have defiled(CC) it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth(CD) in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(CE) to burn their sons and daughters(CF) in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.(CG) 32 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call it Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter,(CH) for they will bury(CI) the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 33 Then the carcasses(CJ) of this people will become food(CK) for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.(CL) 34 I will bring an end to the sounds(CM) of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom(CN) in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem,(CO) for the land will become desolate.(CP)

Jeremiah 7
King James Version
7 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
