The Lord gave Jeremiah a message about these people. The Lord said,“ They really love to wander away from me. Their feet go down the wrong path. I do not accept these people. I will remember the evil things they have done. I will punish them for their sins.”

耶和华对这百姓如此说：“这百姓喜爱妄行，不禁止脚步，所以耶和华不悦纳他们。现今要记念他们的罪孽，追讨他们的罪恶。”

耶和华论到这百姓如此说：“这百姓喜爱游荡，不约束自己的脚步，所以耶和华不悦纳他们。现今他要记起他们的罪孽，惩罚他们的罪恶。”

耶和华论到这百姓如此说：“这百姓喜爱游荡，不约束自己的脚步，所以耶和华不悦纳他们。现今他要记起他们的罪孽，惩罚他们的罪恶。”

永恆主論這人民是這麼說的：『這人民怎樣喜愛飄流，不檢束腳步；因此永恆主不悅納他們，他現在就要記起他們的罪孽來，並察罰他們的罪了。』

耶和華論斯民曰、彼喜妄行、不禁厥足、故耶和華不納之、今必念其愆尤、罰其罪戾、

耶和華曰、斯民樂於背道、不回步履、故我不悅、念其罪愆、加以刑罰。

主論斯民如是云、斯民樂於背道、不禁步於邪途、故我不悅之、必憶其愆尤、罰其罪惡、

This is what the Lord says about this people:“ They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.”

Thus says the Lord concerning this people:“ They have loved to wander thus; they have not restrained their feet; therefore the Lord does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.”

You have sunk very deep into sin, just as your people did at Gibeah long ago. God will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins.

They offer sacrifices as gifts to me. They eat the meat of the animals they bring. But the Lord is not pleased with any of this. He will remember the evil things they have done. He will punish them for their sins. And they will return to Egypt.

I’ve kept my feet from every path that sinners take so that I might obey your word.

What do I care about incense from the land of Sheba? Why should I bother with sweet- smelling cane from a land far away? I do not accept your burnt offerings. Your sacrifices do not please me.”

You bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings. But I will not accept them. You bring your best friendship offerings. But I will not even look at them.

I will forgive their evil ways. I will not remember their sins anymore.”( Jeremiah 31:31–34)

You sacrifice blind animals to me. Isn’t that wrong? You sacrifice disabled or sick animals. Isn’t that wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord who rules over all.“ Now plead with God to be gracious to us! But as long as you give offerings like those, how can he accept you?” says the Lord.“ You might as well shut the temple doors! Then you would not light useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord.“ I will not accept any of the offerings you bring.My name will be great among the nations. They will worship me from where the sun rises in the east to where it sets in the west. In every place, incense and pure offerings will be brought to me. That’s because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord.“ But you treat my name as if it were not holy. You say the Lord’ s altar is‘ unclean.’ And you look down on its food.You say,‘ What a heavy load our work is!’ And you turn up your nose. You act as if you hate working for me,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ You bring animals that have been hurt. Or you bring disabled or sick animals. Then you dare to offer them to me as sacrifices! Should I accept them from you?” says the Lord.

Then why have the people of Jerusalem turned away from me? Why do they always turn away? They keep on telling lies. They refuse to come back to me.

My people have made up their minds to turn away from me. Even if they call me the Most High God, I will certainly not honor them.”

The woman said to Elijah,“ You are a man of God. What do you have against me? Did you come to bring my sin out into the open? Did you come to kill my son?”

They will not need to teach their neighbor anymore. And they will not need to teach one another anymore. They will not need to say,‘ Know the Lord.’ That’s because everyone will know me. From the least important of them to the most important, all of them will know me,” announces the Lord.“ I will forgive their evil ways. I will not remember their sins anymore.”

Why do you keep on changing your ways so much? Assyria did not help you. And Egypt will not help you either.

The Lord who rules over all says,‘ I will punish the Amalekites because of what they did to Israel. As the Israelites came up from Egypt, the Amalekites attacked them.

“ You say,‘ I am“ clean.” I haven’t followed the gods that are named Baal.’ How can you say that? Remember how you acted in the valley. Consider what you have done. You are like a female camel running quickly here and there.You are like a wild donkey that lives in the desert. She smells the wind when she longs for a mate. Who can hold her back? The males that run after her do not need to wear themselves out. At mating time they will easily find her.Do not run after other gods until your sandals are worn out and your throat is dry. But you said,‘ It’s no use! I love those gods. I must go after them.’

I will not be so angry with you anymore. I will not completely destroy you again. After all, I am God. I am not a mere man. I am the Holy One among you. I will not direct my anger against their cities.

“ Didn’t the Lord know you were burning incense in the towns of Judah? Didn’t he care that you were also doing it in the streets of Jerusalem? You and your people of long ago were doing it. Your kings and officials were doing it too. So were the rest of the people in the land.The Lord couldn’t put up any longer with the evil things you were doing. He hated the things you did. So your land became a curse. It became a dry and empty desert. No one lived there. And that’s the way it still is today.You have burned incense to other gods. You have sinned against the Lord. You haven’t obeyed him or his law. You haven’t followed his rules. You haven’t lived up to the terms of the covenant he made with you. That’s why all this trouble has come on you. You have seen it with your own eyes.”

May the Lord remember the evil things their fathers have done. May he never erase the sins of their mothers.May the Lord never forget their sins. Then he won’t let people remember the names of my enemies anymore.

“ Suppose a man divorces his wife. What if she then marries another man? Should her first husband return to her again? If he does, won’t the land become completely‘ unclean’? People of Israel, you have lived like a prostitute. You have loved many other gods. So do you think you can return to me now?” announces the Lord.“ Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there any place where you have not worshiped other gods? You have been unfaithful to me like a wife committing adultery. By the side of the road you sat waiting for lovers. You sat there like someone who wanders in the desert. You have made the land impure. You are like a sinful prostitute.
