The Wickedness of Judah
for the Lord has spoken:
“Children1:2 Or Sons; also verse 41:2 [Deut. 32:6, 10, 15]have I reared and brought up,
but they have rebelled against me.
and the donkey its master’s crib,
but Israel does 1:3 [Jer. 8:7]not know,
my people do not understand.”
4Ah, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
1:4 [Matt. 3:7] offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they are utterly 1:4 Ezek. 14:5estranged.
Why will you 1:5 ch. 31:6continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores
and raw wounds;
they are 1:6 [Jer. 8:22]not pressed out or bound up
or softened with oil.
your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
foreigners devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
8And 1:8 ch. 10:32; 37:22; Zech. 2:10; 9:9the daughter of Zion is left
like a 1:8 Job 27:18booth in a vineyard,
like a lodge in a cucumber field,
like a besieged city.
we should have been like 1:9 ch. 13:19; Gen. 19:24, 25Sodom,
and become like 1:9 ch. 13:19; Gen. 19:24, 25Gomorrah.
10Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of 1:10 Ezek. 16:46, 48, 49, 55; [ch. 3:9; Rev. 11:8] 1:10 [Deut. 32:32]Sodom!
Give ear to the teaching1:10 Or law of our God,
you people of 1:10 [Deut. 32:32]Gomorrah!
111:11 Prov. 15:8; Jer. 6:20; Mal. 1:10; [ch. 66:3]; See 1 Sam. 15:22“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
1:13 Num. 28:11; 1 Chr. 23:31New moon and Sabbath and the 1:13 Ex. 12:16; Lev. 23:36calling of convocations—
I cannot endure 1:13 [Jer. 7:9, 10] iniquity and 1:13 See Joel 2:15-17solemn assembly.
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15When you 1:15 1 Kgs. 8:22spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
1:15 Prov. 1:28; Mic. 3:4even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
1:15 ch. 59:3your hands are full of blood.
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
1:16 [1 Pet. 3:11]cease to do evil,
17learn to do good;
1:17 Jer. 22:3seek justice,
correct oppression;
1:17 [ver. 23; James 1:27]bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow’s cause.
though your sins are like scarlet,
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
191:19 Deut. 30:15, 16If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword;
The Unfaithful City
21How the faithful city
1:21 [Jer. 31:23]she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
221:22 [Jer. 6:30; Ezek. 22:18]Your silver has become dross,
your best wine mixed with water.
23Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.

the 1:24 Ps. 132:2Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
1:24 [Deut. 32:41]and avenge myself on my foes.
and will smelt away your 1:25 [Ezek. 22:20; Mal. 3:3]dross as with lye
and remove all your alloy.

and like a garden without water.

and his work a spark,
and both of them shall burn together,
with 1:31 ch. 66:24none to quench them.
