Gegen die bösen Hirten. Verheißung eines gerechten Königs

1 Wehe den Hirten, die die Herde meiner Weide umkommen lassen und zerstreuen!, spricht der HERR. (Jer 10,21; Hes 34,1; Sach 11,5) 2 Darum, so spricht der HERR, der Gott Israels, über die Hirten, die mein Volk weiden: Ihr habt meine Herde zerstreut und verstoßen und nicht nach ihr gesehen. Siehe, ich will euch heimsuchen um eures bösen Tuns willen, spricht der HERR. 3 Und ich will die Übriggebliebenen meiner Herde sammeln aus allen Ländern, wohin ich sie verstoßen habe, und will sie wiederbringen zu ihren Weideplätzen, dass sie fruchtbar sein sollen und sich mehren. 4 Und ich will Hirten über sie setzen, die sie weiden sollen, dass sie sich nicht mehr fürchten noch erschrecken noch heimgesucht werden, spricht der HERR. (Jer 3,15) 5 Siehe, es kommt die Zeit, spricht der HERR, dass ich dem David einen gerechten Spross erwecken will. Der soll ein König sein, der wohl regieren und Recht und Gerechtigkeit im Lande üben wird. (Jes 32,1; Sach 3,8) 6 Zu seiner Zeit soll Juda geholfen werden und Israel sicher wohnen. Und dies wird sein Name sein, mit dem man ihn nennen wird: »Der HERR ist unsere Gerechtigkeit«. (1Kön 5,5; Jes 45,24; Jer 32,37; Jer 33,16)

1Kön 5,5Jes 45,24Jer 32,37Jer 33,16

7 Darum siehe, es wird die Zeit kommen, spricht der HERR, dass man nicht mehr sagen wird: »So wahr der HERR lebt, der die Israeliten aus Ägyptenland geführt hat!«, (Jer 16,14) 8 sondern: »So wahr der HERR lebt, der die Nachkommen des Hauses Israel heraufgeführt und hergebracht hat aus dem Lande des Nordens und aus allen Landen, wohin er sie verstoßen hatte.« Und sie sollen in ihrem Lande wohnen.

Über die falschen Propheten

9 Wider die Propheten. Mein Herz will mir in meinem Leibe brechen, alle meine Gebeine zittern; mir ist wie einem trunkenen Mann und wie einem, der vom Wein taumelt, vor dem HERRN und vor seinen heiligen Worten. (Hes 13,2) 10 Denn das Land ist voller Ehebrecher, und wegen des Fluches vertrocknet das Land und die Weideplätze in der Steppe verdorren. Böse ist, wonach sie streben, und ihre Stärke ist Unrecht. (Jer 12,4) 11 Denn Propheten wie Priester sind ruchlos; auch in meinem Hause finde ich ihre Bosheit, spricht der HERR. (Jer 5,31; Jer 6,13) 12 Darum ist ihr Weg wie ein glatter Weg, auf dem sie im Finstern gleiten und fallen; denn ich will Unheil über sie kommen lassen, das Jahr ihrer Heimsuchung, spricht der HERR. (Ps 35,6) 13 Auch bei den Propheten zu Samaria sah ich Anstößiges, dass sie weissagten im Namen des Baal und mein Volk Israel verführten; (5Mo 18,20; Jes 1,10; Hes 13,22) 14 aber bei den Propheten zu Jerusalem sehe ich Gräuel, wie sie ehebrechen und mit Lügen umgehen und die Boshaften stärken, auf dass sich ja niemand bekehre von seiner Bosheit. Sie sind alle vor mir gleichwie Sodom und die Bürger Jerusalems wie Gomorra. 15 Darum spricht der HERR Zebaoth über die Propheten: Siehe, ich will sie mit Wermut speisen und mit Gift tränken; denn von den Propheten Jerusalems geht Ruchlosigkeit aus ins ganze Land. (Jer 9,14) 16 So spricht der HERR Zebaoth: Hört nicht auf die Worte der Propheten, die euch weissagen! Sie betrügen euch, sie verkünden euch Gesichte aus ihrem Herzen und nicht aus dem Mund des HERRN. (5Mo 8,3; Jer 6,13; Jer 14,14) 17 Sie sagen denen, die des HERRN Wort verachten: Es wird euch wohlgehen –, und allen, die im Starrsinn ihres Herzens wandeln, sagen sie: Es wird kein Unheil über euch kommen. (Jer 7,24) 18 Aber wer hat im Rat des HERRN gestanden, dass er sein Wort gesehen und gehört hätte? Wer hat sein Wort vernommen und gehört? (Hi 15,8; Jes 40,13; Am 3,7) 19 Siehe, es wird ein Wetter des HERRN kommen voll Grimm und ein schreckliches Ungewitter auf den Kopf der Gottlosen niedergehen. (Jer 30,23) 20 Und des HERRN Zorn wird nicht ablassen, bis er tue und ausrichte, was er im Sinn hat; zur letzten Zeit werdet ihr es klar erkennen. 21 Ich sandte die Propheten nicht, und doch laufen sie; ich redete nicht zu ihnen, und doch weissagen sie. (Jer 14,14) 22 Denn wenn sie in meinem Rat gestanden hätten, so hätten sie meine Worte meinem Volk gepredigt, um es von seinem bösen Wandel und von seinem bösen Tun zu bekehren. 23 Bin ich nur ein Gott, der nahe ist, spricht der HERR, und nicht auch ein Gott, der ferne ist? 24 Meinst du, dass sich jemand so heimlich verbergen könne, dass ich ihn nicht sehe?, spricht der HERR. Bin ich es nicht, der Himmel und Erde erfüllt?, spricht der HERR. (Ps 139,7) 25 Ich höre es wohl, was die Propheten reden, die Lüge weissagen in meinem Namen und sprechen: Mir hat geträumt, mir hat geträumt. 26 Wann wollen doch die Propheten aufhören, die Lüge weissagen und ihres Herzens Trug weissagen 27 und wollen, dass mein Volk meinen Namen vergesse über ihren Träumen, die einer dem andern erzählt, so wie ihre Väter meinen Namen vergaßen über dem Baal? (Ri 3,7) 28 Ein Prophet, der Träume hat, der erzähle Träume; wer aber mein Wort hat, der predige mein Wort recht. Wie reimen sich Stroh und Weizen zusammen?, spricht der HERR. 29 Ist mein Wort nicht wie ein Feuer, spricht der HERR, und wie ein Hammer, der Felsen zerschmeißt? (Hebr 4,12) 30 Darum siehe, ich will an die Propheten, spricht der HERR, die meine Worte stehlen einer vom andern. 31 Siehe, ich will an die Propheten, spricht der HERR, die ihr eigenes Wort führen und sprechen: »Er hat’s gesagt.« 32 Siehe, ich will an die Propheten, spricht der HERR, die falsche Träume erzählen und verführen mein Volk mit ihren Lügen und losem Geschwätz, obgleich ich sie nicht gesandt und ihnen nichts befohlen habe und sie auch diesem Volk nichts nütze sind, spricht der HERR. (Jer 14,14)

Die Last des Herrn

33 Wenn dich dies Volk oder ein Prophet oder ein Priester fragen wird und sagt: Was ist die Last, die der HERR jetzt ankündigt?, sollst du zu ihnen sagen: Ihr seid die Last, ich will euch abwerfen, spricht der HERR. – (Jes 13,1) 34 Und wenn ein Prophet oder Priester oder die Leute sagen werden: »Das ist die Last des HERRN«, den will ich heimsuchen und sein Haus dazu. 35 Vielmehr sollt ihr einer mit dem andern reden und zueinander sagen: »Was hat der HERR geantwortet?«, und: »Was hat der HERR gesagt?« 36 Aber sagt nicht mehr »Last des HERRN«; denn einem jeden wird sein eigenes Wort zur Last werden, weil ihr so die Worte des lebendigen Gottes, des HERRN Zebaoth, unseres Gottes, verdreht. 37 So sollst du zum Propheten sagen: »Was hat dir der HERR geantwortet?«, und: »Was hat der HERR gesagt?« 38 Wenn ihr aber sagt: »Last des HERRN«, so spricht der HERR: Weil ihr dies Wort Last des HERRN nennt, obgleich ich zu euch gesandt habe und euch sagen ließ, ihr sollt nicht »Last des HERRN« sagen, – 39 siehe, so will ich euch aufheben wie eine Last und euch samt der Stadt, die ich euch und euren Vätern gegeben habe, von meinem Angesicht wegwerfen 40 und will euch ewige Schande und ewige Schmach zufügen, die nie vergessen werden soll. (Jer 20,11)

King James Version

1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. 5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. 9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. 10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. 11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. 12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. 13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. 14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. 16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it ? 19 Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. 25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. 33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house. 35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? 36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man' word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. 37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken? 38 But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; 39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: 40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

The Righteous Branch

1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the LORD. (Jes 56,11; Jer 6,3; Jer 10,21; Jer 22,22; Jer 25,34; Jer 25,36; Hes 34,2; Sach 11,17; Joh 10,12; Joh 10,13)

2 Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the LORD. (Jer 1,1; Jer 4,4; Jer 23,22) 3 Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. (1Mo 1,28; 5Mo 30,3; Ps 107,3; Jer 8,3; Jer 29,14; Jer 32,37; Hes 20,34; Hes 20,41; Hes 37,21)

4 I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the LORD. (Jer 3,15) 5 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. (Jes 4,2; Jes 11,1; Jes 32,1; Jer 30,9; Jer 33,14; Hes 37,24; Hos 3,5; Sach 9,9; Mt 2,2; Lk 1,32; Lk 19,38; Joh 1,49)

6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’ (5Mo 33,28; Jer 32,37; Sach 14,11; Röm 10,4; 1Kor 1,30)

5Mo 33,28Jer 32,37Sach 14,11Röm 10,41Kor 1,30

7 “Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they shall no longer say, ‘As the LORD lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ (Jer 16,14; Jer 16,15) 8 but ‘As the LORD lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he^[1] had driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”

Lying Prophets

9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD and because of his holy words. (Hes 6,9; Hab 3,16) 10 For the land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land mourns, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right. (Ps 10,7; Ps 59,12; Ps 107,34; Jer 4,28; Jer 5,7; Jer 5,8; Jer 9,2; Jer 9,10; Jer 12,4; Jer 22,17; Hos 4,2; Hos 4,3)

11 “Both prophet and priest are ungodly; even in my house I have found their evil, declares the LORD. (Jer 6,13; Jer 7,30; Jer 32,34; Hes 8,16; Hes 23,39)

Jer 6,13Jer 7,30Jer 32,34Hes 8,16Hes 23,39

12 Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall be driven and fall, for I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment, declares the LORD. (Ps 35,6; Ps 73,18; Spr 4,19; Spr 13,16; Jer 11,23)

Ps 35,6Ps 73,18Spr 4,19Spr 13,16Jer 11,23

13 In the prophets of Samaria I saw an unsavory thing: they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. (Jes 7,9; Jes 9,16; Jer 2,8; Kla 2,14; Hes 16,46; Hes 16,51; Hes 16,53; Hes 16,55; Hes 23,4; Hes 23,33; Mi 3,5)

14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies; they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his evil; all of them have become like Sodom to me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.” (Ps 64,5; Jes 1,9; Jes 1,10; Jes 13,19; Jer 29,23; Hes 13,22)

Ps 64,5Jes 1,9Jes 1,10Jes 13,19Jer 29,23Hes 13,22

15 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with bitter food and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.” (Spr 5,4; Jer 8,14; Jer 9,15) 16 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. (4Mo 16,28; Ps 12,2) 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the LORD, ‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, ‘No disaster shall come upon you.’” (Jer 3,17; Jer 5,12; Mi 3,11; Sach 6,14; Sach 10,2)

Jer 3,17Jer 5,12Mi 3,11Sach 6,14Sach 10,2

18 For who among them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and to hear his word, or who has paid attention to his word and listened? (Jes 40,14; Jer 23,22) 19 Behold, the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. (Jer 25,32; Jer 30,23) 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly. (Jes 55,11; Jer 30,24) 21 “I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied. (Jer 14,14) 22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have proclaimed my words to my people, and they would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their deeds. (Jer 23,2; Jer 23,18; Jer 25,5; Lk 1,17)

Jer 23,2Jer 23,18Jer 25,5Lk 1,17

23 “Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away? (Ps 94,7; Ps 94,9; Am 9,2; Am 9,3)

Ps 94,7Ps 94,9Am 9,2Am 9,3

24 Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD. (Jes 66,1; Jer 23,1; Apg 7,49) 25 I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ (Jer 5,31; Sach 10,2) 26 How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, (4Mo 16,28) 27 who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal? (Ri 3,7; Ri 8,33; Ri 8,34; Jer 25,1)

Ri 3,7Ri 8,33Ri 8,34Jer 25,1

28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? declares the LORD. (4Mo 12,6; Jer 23,25; Lk 3,17) 29 Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? (Jer 28,1; Dan 2,34; Dan 2,45) 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who steal my words from one another. (5Mo 18,20; Hes 13,8; Hes 14,15) 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the LORD.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the LORD. (Jer 14,14; Jer 23,13; Jer 23,21) 33 “When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden,^[2] and I will cast you off, declares the LORD.’ (Hes 14,1; Hos 4,6) 34 And as for the prophet, priest, or one of the people who says, ‘The burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household. (Jer 33,1) 35 Thus shall you say, every one to his neighbor and every one to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’ 36 But ‘the burden of the LORD’ you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man’s own word, and you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God. (Ps 42,2; Mt 15,6) 37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’ 38 But if you say, ‘The burden of the LORD,’ thus says the LORD, ‘Because you have said these words, “The burden of the LORD,” when I sent to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The burden of the LORD,’” 39 therefore, behold, I will surely lift you up^[3] and cast you away from my presence, you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers. (Jer 33,1) 40 And I will bring upon you everlasting reproach and perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.’” (Jer 20,11)
