| 20 | Declare this in the house of Jacob, proclaim it in Judah: | God warns his people. Jr.5.20-31 | הַגִּידוּ זֹאת בְּבֵית יַעֲקֹב וְהַשְׁמִיעוּהָ בִיהוּדָה לֵאמֹר׃ |
| 21 | "Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but see not, who have ears, but hear not. | שִׁמְעוּ־נָא זֹאת עַם סָכָל וְאֵין לֵב עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאוּ אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמָעוּ׃ | |
| 22 | Do you not fear me? says Yahweh; Do you not tremble before me? I placed the sand as the bound for the sea, a perpetual barrier which it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot prevail, though they roar, they cannot pass over it. | הַאֹותִי לֹא־תִירָאוּ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אִם מִפָּנַי לֹא תָחִילוּ אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי חֹול גְּבוּל לַיָּם חָק־עֹולָם וְלֹא יַעַבְרֶנְהוּ וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ וְלֹא יוּכָלוּ וְהָמוּ גַלָּיו וְלֹא יַעַבְרֻנְהוּ׃ | |
| 23 | But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and gone away. | וְלָעָם הַזֶּה הָיָה לֵב סֹורֵר וּמֹורֶה סָרוּ וַיֵּלֵכוּ׃ | |
| 24 | They do not say in their hearts, 'Let us fear Yahweh our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.' | וְלֹא־אָמְרוּ בִלְבָבָם נִירָא נָא אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַנֹּתֵן גֶּשֶׁם כ= וְיֹרֶה ק= יֹורֶה וּמַלְקֹושׁ בְּעִתֹּו שְׁבֻעֹות חֻקֹּות קָצִיר יִשְׁמָר־לָנוּ׃ | |
| 25 | Your iniquities have turned these away, and your sins have kept good from you. | עֲוֹנֹותֵיכֶם הִטּוּ־אֵלֶּה וְחַטֹּאותֵיכֶם מָנְעוּ הַטֹּוב םִכֶּם׃ | |
| 26 | For wicked men are found among my people; they lurk like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. | כִּי־נִמְצְאוּ בְעַמִּי רְשָׁעִים יָשׁוּר כְּשַׁךְ יְקוּשִׁים הִצִּיבוּ מַשְׁחִית אֲנָשִׁים יִלְכֹּדוּ׃ | |
| 27 | Like a basket full of birds, their houses are full of treachery; therefore they have become great and rich, | כִּכְלוּב מָלֵא עֹוף כֵּן בָּתֵּיהֶם מְלֵאִים מִרְמָה עַל־כֵּן גָּדְלוּ וַיַּעֲשִׁירוּ׃ | |
| 28 | they have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of wickedness; they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy. | שָׁמְנוּ עָשְׁתוּ גַּם עָבְרוּ דִבְרֵי־רָע דִּין לֹא־דָנוּ דִּין יָתֹום וְיַצְלִיחוּ וּמִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיֹונִים לֹא שָׁפָטוּ׃ | |
| 29 | Shall I not punish them for these things? says Yahweh, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?" | הַעַל־אֵלֶּה לֹא־אֶפְקֹד נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה אִם בְּגֹוי אֲשֶׁר־כָּזֶה לֹא תִתְנַקֵּם נַפְשִׁי׃ ס | |
| 30 | An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: | שַׁמָּה וְשַׁעֲרוּרָה נִהְיְתָה בָּאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 31 | the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes? | הַנְּבִיאִים נִבְּאוּ־בַשֶּׁקֶר וְהַכֹּהֲנִים יִרְדּוּ עַל־יְדֵיהֶם וְעַמִּי אָהֲבוּ כֵן וּמַה־תַּעֲשׂוּ לְאַחֲרִיתָהּ׃ | |
