The Coming Destruction of Jerusalem
6 “Flee to safety, you sons of (A)Benjamin,
From the midst of Jerusalem!
Blow a trumpet in Tekoa
And raise a warning signal over [a](B)Beth-haccerem;
For evil looks down from the (C)north,
Along with a great destruction.
2 The beautiful and (D)delicate one, (E)the daughter of Zion, I will destroy.
3 (F)Shepherds and their flocks will come to her,
They will (G)pitch their tents [b]around her,
They will pasture, each in his [c]place.
4 ‘[d](H)Prepare for war against her;
Arise, and let’s [e]attack at (I)noon.
Woe to us, for the day declines,
For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
5 Arise, and let’s [f]attack by night
And (J)destroy her [g]palaces!’”
6 For this is what the Lord of armies says:
“(K)Cut down her trees
And pile up an (L)assault ramp against Jerusalem.
This is the city to be punished,
In whose midst there is only (M)oppression.
7 (N)As a well [h]keeps its waters fresh,
So she [i]keeps fresh her wickedness.
(O)Violence and destruction are heard in her;
(P)Sickness and wounds are constantly before Me.
8 (Q)Be warned, Jerusalem,
Or [j](R)I shall be alienated from you,
And make you a desolation,
An uninhabited land.”
9 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“They will (S)thoroughly glean the (T)remnant of Israel like the vine;
Pass your hand over the branches again
Like a grape gatherer.”
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their (U)ears are [k]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, (V)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
11 But I am (W)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am (X)weary of holding it in.
“(Y)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the [l]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old [m]and the very old.
12 Their (Z)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will (AA)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.
13 “For (AB)from the least of them to the greatest of them,
Everyone is (AC)greedy for gain,
And from the prophet to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
14 They have (AD)healed the brokenness of My people superficially,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
But there is no peace.
15 Were they (AE)ashamed because of the abomination they had done?
They were not ashamed at all,
Nor did they know even how to be ashamed.
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They will collapse,” says the Lord.
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the (AF)ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
Then (AG)you will find a resting place for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 And I set (AH)watchmen over you, saying,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
18 Therefore hear, you nations,
And know, you congregation, what is among them.
19 (AI)Hear, earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people,
The (AJ)fruit of their [n]plans,
Because they have not listened to My words,
And as for My Law, they have (AK)rejected it also.
20 (AL)For what purpose does (AM)frankincense come to Me from Sheba,
And the [o](AN)sweet cane from a distant land?
(AO)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable
And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me.”
21 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, (AP)I am [p]placing stumbling blocks before this people.
And they will stumble against them,
(AQ)Fathers and sons together;
Neighbor and [q]friend will perish.”
The Enemy from the North
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, there is (AR)a people coming from the north land,
And a great nation will be stirred up from the (AS)remote parts of the earth.
23 They seize (AT)bow and spear;
They are (AU)cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice (AV)roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Lined up as a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Zion!”
24 We have (AW)heard the report of it;
Our hands are limp.
(AX)Anguish has seized us,
Pain like that of a woman in childbirth.
25 (AY)Do not go out into the field,
And (AZ)do not walk on the road;
For the enemy has a sword,
(BA)Terror is on every side.
26 Daughter of my people, (BB)put on sackcloth
And (BC)roll in ashes;
[r](BD)Mourn as for an only son,
A most bitter mourning.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come against us.
27 “I have (BE)made you an assayer and an examiner among My people,
So that you may know and put their way to the test.”
28 All of them are stubbornly rebellious,
(BF)Going about as a slanderer;
They are (BG)bronze and iron.
They are, all of them, corrupt.
29 The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the (BH)wicked are not [s]separated.
30 (BI)They call them rejected silver,
Because the (BJ)Lord has rejected them.

Jerusalem Under Siege
6 “Flee for safety, people of Benjamin!
Flee from Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet(A) in Tekoa!(B)
Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!(C)
For disaster looms out of the north,(D)
even terrible destruction.
2 I will destroy Daughter Zion,(E)
so beautiful and delicate.(F)
3 Shepherds(G) with their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents around(H) her,
each tending his own portion.”
4 “Prepare for battle against her!
Arise, let us attack at noon!(I)
But, alas, the daylight is fading,
and the shadows of evening grow long.
5 So arise, let us attack at night
and destroy her fortresses!”
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Cut down the trees(J)
and build siege ramps(K) against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
it is filled with oppression.(L)
7 As a well pours out its water,
so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence(M) and destruction(N) resound in her;
her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
8 Take warning, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away(O) from you
and make your land desolate
so no one can live in it.”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Let them glean the remnant(P) of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
like one gathering grapes.”
10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen(Q) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](R)
so they cannot hear.(S)
The word(T) of the Lord is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(U) of the Lord,
and I cannot hold it in.(V)
“Pour it out on the children in the street
and on the young men(W) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
and the old, those weighed down with years.(X)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(Y)
together with their fields and their wives,(Z)
when I stretch out my hand(AA)
against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
13 “From the least to the greatest,
all(AB) are greedy for gain;(AC)
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(AD)
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.(AE)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.(AF)
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish(AG) them,”
says the Lord.
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,(AH)
ask where the good way(AI) is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest(AJ) for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 I appointed watchmen(AK) over you and said,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’(AL)
But you said, ‘We will not listen.’(AM)
18 Therefore hear, you nations;
you who are witnesses,
observe what will happen to them.
19 Hear, you earth:(AN)
I am bringing disaster(AO) on this people,
the fruit of their schemes,(AP)
because they have not listened to my words(AQ)
and have rejected my law.(AR)
20 What do I care about incense from Sheba(AS)
or sweet calamus(AT) from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;(AU)
your sacrifices(AV) do not please me.”(AW)
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“I will put obstacles before this people.
Parents and children alike will stumble(AX) over them;
neighbors and friends will perish.”
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(AY)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(AZ)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(BA)
They sound like the roaring sea(BB)
as they ride on their horses;(BC)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(BD)”
24 We have heard reports about them,
and our hands hang limp.(BE)
Anguish(BF) has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(BG)
25 Do not go out to the fields
or walk on the roads,
for the enemy has a sword,
and there is terror on every side.(BH)
26 Put on sackcloth,(BI) my people,
and roll in ashes;(BJ)
mourn with bitter wailing(BK)
as for an only son,(BL)
for suddenly the destroyer(BM)
will come upon us.
27 “I have made you a tester(BN) of metals
and my people the ore,
that you may observe
and test their ways.
28 They are all hardened rebels,(BO)
going about to slander.(BP)
They are bronze and iron;(BQ)
they all act corruptly.
29 The bellows blow fiercely
to burn away the lead with fire,
but the refining(BR) goes on in vain;
the wicked are not purged out.
30 They are called rejected silver,(BS)
because the Lord has rejected them.”(BT)

Destruction of Jerusalem Impending
6 “Run for safety, you children of Benjamin,
Out of the midst of Jerusalem!
And blow a trumpet in Tekoa [in Judah]
And raise a signal-fire in Beth-haccherem [near Jerusalem];
For evil is looking down [with eager anticipation] from the north,
And great destruction.
2
“I will destroy the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem), the lovely and delicate one [so like a luxurious pasture].
3
“Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;
They will pitch their tents all around her;
They will pasture, each one in his place [eating up all her rich grasses].
4
“[They shout], ‘Prepare for war against her;
Arise, let us [take her by surprise and] attack her at noon.
But alas, the daylight pales,
The evening shadows grow long.
5
‘Arise, let us [awaken to] attack her at night
And destroy her [fortified] palaces!’”
6 For the Lord of hosts has said,
“Cut down her trees
And build a siege [mound] against Jerusalem.
This is the city which must be punished;
There is nothing but oppression inside her [walls].
7
“As a fountain springs up and pours out its fresh waters,
So she [continually] pours out her fresh wickedness.
Violence and destruction are heard inside her [walls];
Sickness and wounds are always before Me.
8
“Be wise and be warned, O Jerusalem,
Or I will be alienated from you,
And make you a desolation,
An uninhabited land.”
9
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“They will thoroughly gather like [fruit on] a vine what is left of Israel;
Pass your hand [over the vine] again and again [Babylon, tool of destruction] like a grape gatherer,
Over the branches [stripping the tendrils off the vine].”
10
To whom shall I (Jeremiah) speak and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold, their ears are [a]closed [absolutely deaf to God]
And they cannot listen.
Behold, the word of the Lord has become a reprimand and an object of scorn to them;
They have no delight in it.(A)
11
But I am full of the wrath (judgment) of the Lord;
I am tired of restraining it.
“[I will] pour it out on the children in the street
And on the young men gathered together;
For both the husband and wife shall be taken,
The aged and the very old [though full of days they are not exempt from judgment].
12
“Their houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” says the Lord.
13
“For from the least of them even to the greatest of them,
Everyone is greedy for [unfair] gain;
And from the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals deceitfully.
14
“They have treated superficially the [bloody] broken wound of My people,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’
When there is no peace.
15
“Were they ashamed because they had committed disgusting and vile things?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
They did not even know how to blush [at their idolatry].
Therefore they will fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them
They will be overthrown,” says the Lord.
16
Thus says the Lord,
“Stand by the roads and look; ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is; then walk in it,
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’(B)
17
“I have set watchmen (prophets) over you,
Saying, ‘Listen and pay attention to the [warning] sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
18
“Therefore hear, O [Gentile] nations,
And see, O congregation, what [vengeful act] is to be done to them.
19
“Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people,
The fruit of their schemes,
Because they have not listened and paid attention to My words,
And as for My law, they have rejected it also.
20
“For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from [b]Sheba
And the sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable
And your sacrifices are not sweet and pleasing to Me.”
21 Therefore, thus says the Lord,
“Behold, I am laying stumbling blocks before this people.
The fathers and the sons together
Will stumble against them;
The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
The Enemy from the North
22
Thus says the Lord,
“Behold, a people is coming from the north country,
And a great nation shall be stirred up and put into action from the remote parts of the earth.
23
“They seize bow and spear;
They are cruel and inhuman and have no mercy.
Their voice sounds like the roaring sea;
They ride [in formation] on horses,
Arrayed as a man for battle
Against you, O Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)!”
24
We have heard the report of it;
Our hands become limp and helpless.
Anguish has gripped us,
Pain like that of a woman in childbirth.
25
Do not go out into the field
Nor walk on the road,
For the enemy is armed with the sword;
Terror is on every side.
26
O daughter of my people [says Jeremiah],
Clothe yourself in sackcloth and wallow in ashes;
Mourn [aloud] as for an only son,
A most bitter cry [of sorrow and regret],
For suddenly the destroyer will come upon us [on both prophet and people].
27
“I [the Lord] have set you as an assayer [O Jeremiah] and as a tester [of the ore] of My people,
That you may know and analyze their acts.”
28
They are all the worst [kind] of [stiff-necked, godless] rebels,
Going around spreading slander.
They are [not gold and silver ore, but] bronze and iron;
They are all corrupt.
29
The bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain they continue refining,
But the wicked are not separated and removed.
30
They call them rejected silver [only dross, without value],
Because the Lord has rejected them.

The ruins of the capital city of Mariaba attest to the splendor of the ancient kingdom. The Queen of Sheba visited Solomon the king of Israel in about 950 b.c. The purpose of her 1,200 mile journey was most likely to establish a fair trade agreement. Incense was among the most desirable and valuable exports of Sheba.

6 Fugi para salvação vossa, filhos de Benjamim, do meio de Jerusalém; tocai a buzina em Tecoa e levantai o facho sobre Bete-Haquerém; porque da banda do Norte espreita um mal e um grande quebrantamento. 2 A formosa e delicada, a filha de Sião, eu deixarei desolada. 3 A ela virão pastores com os seus rebanhos; levantarão contra ela tendas em redor, e cada um apascentará no seu lugar. 4 Preparai a guerra contra ela, levantai-vos, e subamos ao pino do meio-dia; ai de nós, que já declina o dia, que já se vão estendendo as sombras da tarde! 5 Levantai-vos, e subamos de noite e destruamos os seus palácios. 6 Porque assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Cortai árvores e levantai tranqueiras contra Jerusalém; esta é a cidade que há de ser visitada; só opressão há no meio dela. 7 Como a fonte produz as suas águas, assim ela produz a sua malícia; violência e estrago se ouvem nela; enfermidade e feridas há diante de mim continuadamente. 8 Corrige-te, ó Jerusalém, para que a minha alma não se aparte de ti, para que não te torne em assolação e terra não habitada.
9 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos: Diligentemente, respigarão os resíduos de Israel como uma vinha; torna a tua mão, como o vindimador, aos cestos. 10 A quem falarei e testemunharei, para que ouça? Eis que os seus ouvidos estão incircuncisos e não podem ouvir; eis que a palavra do Senhor é para eles coisa vergonhosa; não gostam dela. 11 Pelo que estou cheio do furor do Senhor; estou cansado de o conter; derramá-lo-ei sobre os meninos pelas ruas e nas reuniões dos jovens juntamente; porque até o marido com a mulher serão presos, e o velho, com o que está cheio de dias. 12 E as suas casas passarão a outros, herdades e mulheres juntamente; porque estenderei a mão contra os habitantes desta terra, diz o Senhor. 13 Porque, desde o menor deles até ao maior, cada um se dá à avareza; e, desde o profeta até ao sacerdote, cada um usa de falsidade. 14 E curam a ferida da filha do meu povo levianamente, dizendo: Paz, paz; quando não há paz. 15 Porventura, envergonham-se de cometer abominação? Pelo contrário, de maneira nenhuma se envergonham, nem tampouco sabem que coisa é envergonhar-se; portanto, cairão entre os que caem; no tempo em que eu os visitar, tropeçarão, diz o Senhor.
16 Assim diz o Senhor: Ponde-vos nos caminhos, e vede, e perguntai pelas veredas antigas, qual é o bom caminho, e andai por ele; e achareis descanso para a vossa alma; mas eles dizem: Não andaremos. 17 Também pus atalaias sobre vós, dizendo: Estai atentos à voz da buzina; mas dizem: Não escutaremos. 18 Portanto, ouvi, vós, nações, e informa-te tu, ó congregação, do que se faz entre eles! 19 Ouve tu, ó terra! Eis que eu trarei mal sobre este povo, o próprio fruto dos seus pensamentos; porque não estão atentos às minhas palavras e rejeitam a minha lei. 20 Para que, pois, me virá o incenso de Sabá e a melhor cana aromática de terras remotas? Vossos holocaustos não me agradam, nem me são suaves os vossos sacrifícios. 21 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor: Eis que armarei tropeços a este povo, e tropeçarão neles pais e filhos juntamente; o vizinho e o seu companheiro perecerão.
22 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que um povo vem da terra do Norte, e uma grande nação se levantará das bandas da terra. 23 Arco e lança trarão; eles são cruéis e não usarão de misericórdia; a sua voz rugirá como o mar, e em cavalos irão montados, dispostos como homens de guerra contra ti, ó filha de Sião. 24 Ouvimos a sua fama, afrouxaram-se as nossas mãos; angústia nos tomou, e dores como de parturiente. 25 Não saiais ao campo, nem andeis pelo caminho; porque espada do inimigo e espanto há em redor. 26 Ó filha do meu povo, cinge-te de cilício e revolve-te na cinza; pranteia como por um filho único, pranto de amarguras; porque presto virá o destruidor sobre nós.
27 Por torre de guarda te pus entre o meu povo, por fortaleza, para que soubesses e examinasses o seu caminho. 28 Todos eles são os mais rebeldes e andam murmurando; são duros como bronze e ferro, todos eles andam corruptamente. 29 Já o fole se queimou, o chumbo se consumiu com o fogo; em vão vai fundindo o fundidor tão diligentemente, pois os maus não são arrancados. 30 Prata rejeitada lhes chamarão, porque o Senhor os rejeitou.

Jerusalém Sitiada
6 “Fuja para um lugar seguro,
povo de Benjamim!
Fuja de Jerusalém!
Toquem a trombeta em Tecoa!
Ponham sinal em Bete-Haquerém!
Porque já se vê a desgraça
que vem do norte,
uma terrível destruição!
2 Destruirei a cidade[a] de Sião;
você é como uma bela pastagem,[b]
3 para onde os pastores vêm
com os seus rebanhos;
armam as suas tendas ao redor dela
e apascentam, cada um no seu lugar.
4 “Preparem-se para enfrentá-la
na batalha!
Vamos, ataquemos ao meio-dia!
Ai de nós! O dia declina
e as sombras da tarde já se estendem.
5 Vamos, ataquemos de noite!
Destruamos as suas fortalezas!”
6 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos:
“Derrubem as árvores
e construam rampas de cerco
contra Jerusalém.
Ó cidade da falsidade![c]
Ela está cheia de opressão.
7 Assim como um poço produz água,
também ela produz sua maldade.
Violência! Destruição!
É o que se ouve dentro dela;
doenças e feridas estão sempre
diante de mim.
8 Ouça a minha advertência, ó Jerusalém!
Do contrário eu me afastarei
inteiramente de você
e farei de você uma desolação,
uma terra desabitada”.
9 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos:
“Rebusque-se o remanescente de Israel
tão completamente
como se faz com uma videira,
como faz quem colhe uvas:
e você, repasse os ramos cacho por cacho”.
10 A quem posso eu falar ou advertir?
Quem me escutará?
Os ouvidos deles são obstinados[d],
e eles não podem ouvir.
A palavra do Senhor é para eles desprezível,
não encontram nela motivo de prazer.
11 Mas a ira do Senhor
dentro de mim transborda,
já não posso retê-la.
“Derrama-a sobre as crianças na rua
e sobre os jovens reunidos em grupos;
pois eles também serão pegos
com os maridos e as mulheres,
os velhos e os de idade bem avançada.
12 As casas deles
serão entregues a outros,
com os seus campos
e as suas mulheres,
quando eu estender a minha mão
contra os que vivem nesta terra”,
declara o Senhor.
13 “Desde o menor até o maior,
todos são gananciosos;
profetas e sacerdotes igualmente,
todos praticam o engano.
14 Eles tratam da ferida do meu povo
como se não fosse grave.
‘Paz, paz’, dizem,
quando não há paz alguma.
15 Ficarão eles envergonhados
da sua conduta detestável?
Não, eles não sentem vergonha alguma,
nem mesmo sabem corar.
Portanto, cairão entre os que caem;
serão humilhados
quando eu os castigar”,
declara o Senhor.
16 Assim diz o Senhor:
“Ponham-se nas encruzilhadas e olhem;
perguntem pelos caminhos antigos,
perguntem pelo bom caminho.
Sigam-no e acharão descanso.
Mas vocês disseram:
‘Não seguiremos!’
17 Coloquei sentinelas entre vocês e disse:
Prestem atenção ao som da trombeta!
Mas vocês disseram:
‘Não daremos atenção’.
18 Vejam, ó nações;
observe, ó assembléia,
o que acontecerá a eles.
19 Ouça, ó terra:
Trarei desgraça sobre este povo,
o fruto das suas maquinações,
porque não deram atenção
às minhas palavras
e rejeitaram a minha lei.
20 De que me serve o incenso
trazido de Sabá,
ou o cálamo aromático
de uma terra distante?
Os seus holocaustos[e] não são aceitáveis
nem me agradam as suas ofertas”.
21 Assim diz o Senhor:
“Estou colocando obstáculos
diante deste povo.
Pais e filhos tropeçarão neles;
vizinhos e amigos perecerão”.
22 Assim diz o Senhor:
“Veja! Um exército vem do norte;
uma grande nação
está sendo mobilizada
desde os confins da terra.
23 Eles empunham o arco e a lança;
são cruéis e não têm misericórdia,
e o barulho que fazem é como
o bramido do mar.
Vêm montando os seus cavalos
em formação de batalha,
para atacá-la, ó cidade de Sião”.
24 Ouvimos os relatos sobre eles,
e as nossas mãos amoleceram.
A angústia tomou conta de nós,
dores como as da mulher
que está dando à luz.
25 Não saiam aos campos
nem andem pelas estradas,
pois o inimigo traz a espada,
e há terror por todos os lados.
26 Ó minha filha, meu povo,
ponha vestes de lamento
e revolva-se em cinza.
Lamente-se com choro amargurado,
como quem chora por um filho único,
pois subitamente o destruidor
virá sobre nós.
27 “Eu o designei para
examinador de metais,
provador do meu povo,
para que você examine
e ponha à prova a conduta deles.
28 Todos eles são rebeldes obstinados,
e propagadores de calúnias.
Estão endurecidos
como o bronze e o ferro.
Todos eles são corruptos.
29 O fole sopra com força
para separar o chumbo com o fogo,
mas o refino prossegue em vão;
os ímpios não são expurgados.
30 São chamados prata rejeitada,
porque o Senhor os rejeitou.”
