katapi HOME Jeremiah 6:9-15 - Rebellious Israel.  Jr.6.9-15

6 9 Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
"Glean thoroughly as a vine
the remnant of Israel;
like a grape-gatherer pass your hand again
over its branches."
6 10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
that they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed,
they cannot listen;
behold, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn,
they take no pleasure in it.
6 11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of Yahweh;
I am weary of holding it in.
"Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
the old folk and the very aged.
6 12 Their houses shall be turned over to others,
their fields and wives together;
for I will stretch out my hand
against the inhabitants of the land,"
says Yahweh.
6 13 "For from the least to the greatest of them,
every one is greedy for unjust gain;
and from prophet to priest,
every one deals falsely.
6 14 They have healed the wound of my people lightly,
saying, 'Peace, peace,'
when there is no peace.
6 15 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,"
says Yahweh.
