Jeremiah 6

6 Bring yourselves to safety, sons of Benjamin,

from the midst of Jerusalem!

And in Tekoa blast a horn!

And over Beth Haccerem lift up an uplifting!

For evil looks down from the north,

and a great collapse.

2 I liken[fn] the daughter of Zion

to the beautiful and delicate woman.

3 To them shepherds and their flocks will go;

they will pitch tents against her all around;

they shall pasture each in his place.

4 “Consecrate yourselves for war against her!

Arise and let us go up at noon!

Woe to us for the day faces away,

for the shadows of evening are lengthening.

5 Arise and let us attack at night

and destroy her palaces.”

6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts:

Cut a tree,

and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem!

She is the city he left behind,[fn]

all of her is oppression in her midst.

7 Like a well keeps its waters fresh,

thus she keeps her evil fresh.

Violence and oppression are heard in her;

always before my face are sickness and plague.

8 Let yourself be instructed, Jerusalem,

lest my soul turns away in disgust from you,

lest I make you a wasteland,

a land not inhabited.’ ”

9 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,

“Gleaning they will glean as the vine,

the remnant of Israel.

Cause your hand to return

as a grape gatherer over the branches.

10 To whom shall I speak and give warning

that they may listen?

Behold! Their ear is uncircumcised,

and they are not able to pay attention!

Behold! The word of Yahweh has come to them for disgrace,

but they would not delight in it.”

11 Therefore I am filled with the heat of Yahweh.

I am tired of holding it in.

“Pour it out on the children outside

and on the groups of young men who are together.

For also a husband will be captured with a wife,

an old person with fullness of days.

12 And their houses will be turned over to others,

fields and wives together.

For I shall stretch out my hand

against the inhabitants of the land

—the declaration of Yahweh.

13 For from the smallest and to the greatest,

all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.

And from prophet and to priest,

each deals deceitfully.

14 And they have healed the wound of my people lightly,

saying, ‘Peace, Peace,’ but there is no peace.

15 Were they ashamed when they did an abomination?

Indeed to be ashamed, they were not ashamed;

they did not even know to blush!

Therefore they will fall among the fallen ones;

At the time I punish them they will stumble

says Yahweh.

16 Thus says Yahweh,

“Stand by the roads and look,

and ask for the ancient paths,

where the good way is;

and walk in it,

and find rest for your souls.

But they said, ‘We shall not walk in it.’

17 And I stationed watchmen over you.

Pay attention to the sound of the horn!

But they said, ‘We shall not pay attention.’

18 Therefore, hear, you nations!

And know, assembly,

what will be among them.

19 Hear, O earth:

Behold, I shall bring disaster to this people—

the fruit of their plans.

For to my words they did not pay attention,

and my law, they rejected it.

20 What is this to me, frankincense coming from Sheba?

Or reed perfume from a distant land?

Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,

and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.

21 Therefore thus says Yahweh,

‘Behold, I shall give stumbling blocks to this people,

and they will stumble on them—fathers and sons together.

A resident and his neighbor will perish.’

22 Thus says Yahweh,

‘Behold, a people is coming

from the land of the north,

and a great nation is being woken up

from the farthest parts of the earth.

23 They hold bows and spears.

They are cruel and they are not compassionate.

Their sound roars like the sea,

and they ride on horses,

arranged like men for battle

against you, daughter of Zion.’ ”

24 We have heard the reports about them;

our hands fall limp.

Distress seizes us,

anguish as a woman giving birth.

25 Do not go out to the field,

and do not walk on the road,

for the sword of the enemy,

terror from all around.

26 Daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth

and roll about in ash;

make mourning for yourself as for an only son

a lamentation of bitterness,

for suddenly the destroyer

will come upon us.

27 “I have given you as a tester among my people, an appraiser,

so you can know and test their way.

28 All of them are stubborn ones[fn] who rebel,

going about in gossip

All of them are bronze and iron;

they act corruptly.

29 The bellows fiercely blow

the lead from their fire.[fn]

In vain he refines to refine,

but the evil things are not torn away.

30 They will be called, ‘rejected silver,’

for Yahweh has rejected them.”
