| 4 | Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. | The sin of Israel's ancestors. Jr.2.4-13 | שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר־יְהוָה בֵּית יַעֲקֹב וְכָל־מִשְׁפְּחֹות בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
| 5 | Thus says Yahweh: "What wrong did your fathers find in me | כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה מַה־מָּצְאוּ אֲבֹותֵיכֶם בִּי עָוֶל כִּי רָחֲקוּ מֵעָלָי וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרֵי הַהֶבֶל וַיֶּהְבָּלוּ׃ | |
| 6 | They did not say, 'Where is Yahweh who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, in a land that none passes through, where no man dwells? | וְלֹא אָמְרוּ אַיֵּה יְהוָה הַמַּעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם הַמֹּולִיךְ אֹתָנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר בְּאֶרֶץ עֲרָבָה וְשׁוּחָה בְּאֶרֶץ צִיָּה וְצַלְמָוֶת בְּאֶרֶץ לֹא־עָבַר בָּהּ אִישׁ וְלֹא־יָשַׁב אָדָם שָׁם׃ | |
| 7 | And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. | וָאָבִיא אֶתְכֶם אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַכַּרְמֶל לֶאֱכֹל פִּרְיָהּ וְטוּבָהּ וַתָּבֹאוּ וַתְּטַמְּאוּ אֶת־אַרְצִי וְנַחֲלָתִי שַׂמְתֶּם לְתֹועֵבָה׃ | |
| 8 | The priests did not say, 'Where is Yahweh?' Those who handle the law did not know me; the rulers transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after things that do not profit. | הַכֹּהֲנִים לֹא אָמְרוּ אַיֵּה יְהוָה וְתֹפְשֵׂי הַתֹּורָה לֹא יְדָעוּנִי וְהָרֹעִים פָּשְׁעוּ בִי וְהַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאוּ בַבַּעַל וְאַחֲרֵי לֹא־יֹועִלוּ הָלָכוּ׃ | |
| 9 | "Therefore I still contend with you, says Yahweh, and with your children's children I will contend. | לָכֵן עֹד אָרִיב אִתְּכֶם נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְאֶת־בְּנֵי בְנֵיכֶם אָרִיב׃ | |
| 10 | For cross to the coasts of Cyprus and see, or send to Kedar and examine with care; see if there has been such a thing. | כִּי עִבְרוּ אִיֵּי כִתִּיִּים וּרְאוּ וְקֵדָר שִׁלְחוּ וְהִתְבֹּונְנוּ מְאֹד וּרְאוּ הֵן הָיְתָה כָּזֹאת׃ | |
| 11 | Has a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. | הַהֵימִיר גֹּוי אֱלֹהִים וְהֵמָּה לֹא אֱלֹהִים וְעַמִּי הֵמִיר כְּבֹודֹו בְּלֹוא יֹועִיל׃ | |
| 12 | Be appalled, O heavens, at this, be shocked, be utterly desolate, says Yahweh, | שֹׁמּוּ שָׁמַיִם עַל־זֹאת וְשַׂעֲרוּ חָרְבוּ מְאֹד נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ | |
| 13 | for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. | כִּי־שְׁתַּיִם רָעֹות עָשָׂה עַמִּי אֹתִי עָזְבוּ מְקֹור מַיִם חַיִּים לַחְצֹב לָהֶם בֹּארֹות בֹּארֹת נִשְׁבָּרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָכִלוּ הַמָּיִם׃ | |
