1
 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2
 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3
 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4
 When Christ,
who is
our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5
 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6
 for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7
 in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8
 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9
 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10
 and have put on the new
man,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11
 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond
nor
free: but Christ
is
all, and in all.
12
 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13
 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also
do
ye.
14
 And above all these things
put on
charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15
 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17
 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
32
 For all this they [Israel] sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33
 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34
 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.
35
 And they remembered that God
was
their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36
 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37
 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38
 But he,
being
full of compassion, forgave
their
iniquity, and destroyed
them
not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
 For he remembered that they
were but
flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40
 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and
grieve him in the desert!
41
 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42
 They remembered not his hand,
nor
the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43
 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44
 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45
 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46
 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47
 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost.
48
 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49
 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels
among them.
50
 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
51
 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of
their
strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
52
 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53
 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54
 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary,
even to
this mountain,
which
his right hand had purchased.
55
 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
27
 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
1
 Hear ye the word which the L
ORD
speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2
 Thus saith the L
ORD
, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3
 For the customs of the people
are
vain: for
one
cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4
 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5
 They
are
upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also
is it
in them to do good.
6
 Forasmuch as
there is
none like unto thee, O L
ORD
; thou
art
great, and thy name
is
great in might.
7
 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise
men
of the nations, and in all their kingdoms,
there is
none like unto thee.
8
 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
is
a doctrine of vanities.
9
 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple
is
their clothing: they
are
all the work of cunning
men.
10
 But the L
ORD
is
the true God, he
is
the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11
 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
even
they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12
 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13
 When he uttereth his voice,
there is
a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14
 Every man is brutish in
his
knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image
is
falsehood, and
there is
no breath in them.
15
 They
are
vanity,
and
the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16
 The portion of Jacob
is
not like them: for he
is
the former of all
things;
and Israel
is
the rod of his inheritance: The L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name.
17
 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18
 For thus saith the L
ORD
, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find
it so.
19
 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this
is
a grief, and I must bear it.
20
 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they
are
not:
there is
none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21
 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the L
ORD
: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22
 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate,
and
a den of dragons.
23
 O L
ORD
, I know that the way of man
is
not in himself:
it is
not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24
 O L
ORD
, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25
 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
11:
1
 The word that came to Jeremiah from the L
ORD
, saying,
2
 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3
 and say thou unto them, Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel; Cursed
be
the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
4
 which I commanded your fathers in the day
that
I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
5
 that I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as
it is
this day.
Then answered I, and said, So be it, O L
ORD
.
6
 Then the L
ORD
said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7
 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day
that
I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
even
unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8
 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded
them
to do; but they did
them
not.
9
 And the L
ORD
said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10
 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11
 Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
12
 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13
 For
according to
the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and
according to
the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to
that
shameful thing,
even
altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14
 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear
them
in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
15
 What hath my beloved to do in mine house,
seeing
she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
16
 The L
ORD
called thy name, A green olive tree, fair,
and
of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17
 For the L
ORD
of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18
 And the L
ORD
hath given me knowledge
of it,
and I know
it:
then thou shewedst me their doings.
19
 But I
was
like a lamb
or
an ox
that
is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me,
saying,
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20
 But, O L
ORD
of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
21
 Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the L
ORD
, that thou die not by our hand:
22
 therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23
 and there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth,
even
the year of their visitation.
