18有人想谋害我,耶和华告诉了我,并让我看见他们的所作所为。19我好像一只被牵去宰杀的驯良羊羔,不知他们要谋害我。他们说: “我们把这棵树连果子一同毁灭, 从世上除掉它, 使它被遗忘吧!”20然而,审判公正、洞察肺腑心肠的万军之耶和华啊, 愿我能看见你报应他们, 因为我已向你陈明我的冤屈。21亚拿突人想杀我,他们威胁我说:“你不要奉耶和华的名说预言,免得死在我们手上。”因此,万军之耶和华说:“看啊,我必惩罚他们。他们的青年必丧身刀下,他们的子女必死于饥荒,23一个不留。因为在我报应之年,我必降灾难给亚拿突人。”

The Broken Covenant
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:2“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.3You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant4that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God,5that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”6And the Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and do them.7For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice.8Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.”9Again the Lord said to me, “A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.10They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers.11Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them.12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble.13For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, altars to make offerings to Baal.14“Therefore do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble.15What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? Can you then exult?16The Lord once called you ‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed.17The Lord of hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”18The Lord made it known to me and I knew; then you showed me their deeds.19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter. I did not know it was against me they devised schemes, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more.”20But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause.21Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”—22therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,23and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”
