          DASV: Jeremiah 11    

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 "Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 Tell them, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel says:
"Cursed is the person who does not obey the words of this
covenant,
4 which I commanded your forefathers in the day that I brought
them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace,'
saying, 'Obey my voice, and do everything that I command you
then you will be my people, and I will be your God,
5 so that I may keep the promise that I swore to your forefathers,
to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,'" the very
land you have this day.'" Then I answered, and said, "Amen,
may it be so, LORD."

6 The LORD told me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of
Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, 'Listen to the
words of this covenant, and do them.
7 For I solemnly warned your forefathers when I brought them up
out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, repeatedly warning them,
"Obey my voice."
8 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but everyone
walked in the stubbornness of their own evil hearts. So I brought
on them all the words contained in this covenant which I commanded
them to do, but they did not do them.'"

9 Then the LORD said to me, "A conspiracy has been exposed among the
men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 They have turned back to the sins of their forefathers, who refused
to obey my words. They have pursued other gods and worshipped them.
The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant
that I made with their forefathers.
11 Therefore, this is what the LORD says, 'I will bring disaster on
them, which they will not be able to escape. They will cry out to me,
but I will not listen to them.
12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go
and cry to the gods to which they made offerings, but they will never
save them in the time of their trouble.
13 You have as many gods as you have cities, O Judah. You have as
many altars devoted to shameful things as you have streets in
Jerusalem. There are even altars for burning incense to Baal.'"

14 "Therefore do not pray for this people, Jeremiah, or lift up a
cry or prayer for them, for I will not listen to them when they
cry to me in their trouble.
15 What right do my beloved people have to be in my house,
           seeing they have committed such vile deeds?
      Can sacrificial meat really spare you of punishment,
           when you do evil then celebrate it?'
16 The LORD called your name, A flourishing olive tree,
          beautiful with good fruit.
      But with the roar of a blazing fire
          he will set it on fire,
                with its branches burned off.

17 For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced disaster
against you, because of the evil the house of Israel and
Judah have done. They have provoked me to anger by offering
incense to Baal.

18 Then the LORD gave me knowledge of their plots, and I understood
it. Then you showed me what they were doing.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; and I did
not realize that they were devising plans against me, saying,
      "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
           and let us cut him off from the land of the living
      so that his name may be remembered no more."
20 But, O LORD of hosts, who judges righteously,
           who tests the heart and the mind,
      I will see your vengeance on them,
           for I have committed my situation to you.

21 Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning the men of
Anathoth who seek your life, saying, "Do not prophesy in the
name of the LORD, or you will die by our hands."
22 This is what the LORD of hosts says, "Look, I will punish
them. The young men will die by the sword; their sons and
daughters will die by famine.
23 There will be no survivors, for I will bring disaster on
the men of Anathoth, in the year of their punishment."
