Jeremiah 17       ISR  HRB  NKJV  KJV  NIV   (Show plain text in new window)
1.	'The sin of Yehudah is written with a pen of iron, engraved with the point of a diamond on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars,
2.	while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the spreading trees on the high hills.
3.	'My mountain in the field, I give as plunder your wealth, all your treasures, your high places of sin, throughout all your borders.
4.	'And you, even of yourself, shall let go of your inheritance which I gave you. And I shall make you serve your enemies in a land which you have not known, for you have kindled a fire in My displeasure which burns forever.'
5.	Thus said YHWH, 'Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from YHWH.
6.	'For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and not see when good comes, and shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land that is not inhabited.
7.	'Blessed is the man who trusts in YHWH, and whose trust is YHWH.
8.	'For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and does not see when heat comes. And his leaf shall be green, and in the year of drought he is not anxious, nor does he cease from yielding fruit.
9.	'The heart is crookedr above all, and desperately sick - who shall know it?
10.	'I, YHWH, search the heart, I try the kidneys, and give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
11.	'As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, so is he who gets riches, but not by right. It leaves him in the midst of his days, and at his end he is a fool.'
12.	An esteemed throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our set-apart place.
13.	O YHWH, the expectation of Yisra'el, all who forsake You are put to shame. 'Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken YHWH, the fountain of living waters.'
14.	Heal me, O YHWH, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I am saved, for You are my praise.
15.	See, they say to me, 'Where is the word of YHWH? Let it come now!'
16.	And I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows You, nor have I longed for the desperately sick day. You Yourself have known, that which came out of my lips was before You.
17.	Do not be a ruin to me, You are my shelter in the day of evil.
18.	Let these who persecute me be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be broken, but do not let me be broken. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction!
	Keeping the Sabbath Holy...
19.	Thus YHWH said to me, `Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the sovereigns of Yehudah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Yerushalayim.
20.	'And you shall say to them, 'Hear the word of YHWH, you sovereigns of Yehudah, and all Yehudah, and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, who enter by these gates.
21.	'Thus said YHWH, 'Guard yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Yerushalayim,
22.	nor take a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work. And you shall set apart the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23.	'But they did not obey, or incline their ear, and they made their neck stiff not to hear and not to receive instruction.
24.	'And it shall be, if you diligently obey Me,' declares YHWH, 'to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and set apart the Sabbath day, to do no work in it,
25.	then sovereigns and heads sitting on the throne of Dawid shall enter in through the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their heads - the men of Yehudah and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And this city shall be inhabited forever.
26.	'And they shall come from the cities of Yehudah and from the places around Yerushalayim, and from the land of Binyamin and from the low country, from the mountains and from the South, bringing burnt offerings and slaughterings, grain offerings and incense, bringing offerings of praise to the House of YHWH.
27.	'But if you do not obey Me to set apart the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden when entering the gates of Yerushalayim on the Sabbath day, then I shall kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall consume the palaces of Yerushalayim, and not be quenched.'''
