1THE word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2Listen to the terms of this covenant and repeat them to the inhabitants of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem,
3telling them: These are the words of the LORD the God of Israel: A curse on everyone who does not observe the terms of this covenant
4which I enjoined on your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, from the smelting furnace. I said: If you obey me and do all that I command, you will become my people and I shall become your God.
5I shall thus make good the oath I swore to your forefathers, that I would give them a land flowing with milk and honey, the land you now possess. I answered, “Amen, LORD.”
6Then the LORD said: Proclaim these terms throughout the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Say: Listen to the terms of this covenant and carry them out.
7I gave solemn warning to your forefathers, from the time when I brought them out of Egypt till this day; I was at pains to warn them: Obey me, I said.
8But they did not obey; they paid no attention to me, and each followed the promptings of his own stubborn and wicked heart. So I brought on them all the penalties laid down in this covenant which I had enjoined upon them, but whose terms they did not observe.
9The LORD said to me: The inhabitants of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem have entered into a conspiracy:
10they have gone back to the sins of their earliest forefathers and refused to listen to me. They have followed other gods and served them; Israel and Judah have broken the covenant which I made with their forefathers.
11Therefore these are the words of the LORD: I am about to bring on them a disaster from which they cannot escape. They may cry to me for help, but I shall not listen.
12The inhabitants of the towns of Judah and of Jerusalem may go and cry for help to the gods to whom they have burnt sacrifices, but assuredly they will not save them in the hour of disaster.
13For you, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns; you have set up as many altars to burn sacrifices to Baal as there are streets in Jerusalem.
14So, Jeremiah, offer up no prayer for this people; raise no plea or prayer on their behalf, for I shall not listen when they call to me in the hour of their disaster.
15What right has my beloved in my house with her shameless ways? Can the flesh of fat offerings on the altar ward off the disaster that threatens you? Now you will feel sharp anguish.
16Once the LORD called you an olive tree, leafy and fair; with a great roaring noise he has set it on fire and its branches are consumed.
17The LORD of Hosts who planted you has threatened you with disaster, because of the evil which Israel and Judah have done, provoking him to anger by burning sacrifices to Baal.
18It was the LORD who showed me, and so I knew; he opened my eyes to what they were doing.
19I had been like a pet lamb led trustingly to the slaughter; I did not realize they were hatching plots against me and saying, “Let us destroy the tree while the sap is in it; let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name will be wholly forgotten.”
20LORD of Hosts, most righteous judge, testing the heart and mind, to you I have committed my cause; let me see your vengeance on them.
21Therefore these are the words of the LORD about the men of Anathoth who seek to take your life, and say, “Prophesy no more in the name of the LORD or we shall kill you” --
22these are his words: I am about to punish them: their young men shall die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
23Not one of them will survive; for in the year of reckoning for them I shall bring disaster on the people of Anathoth.
