18
 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19
 Husbands, love
your
wives, and be not bitter against them.
20
 Children, obey
your
parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21
 Fathers, provoke not your children
to anger,
lest they be discouraged.
22
 Servants, obey in all things
your
masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23
 and whatsoever ye do, do
it
heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24
 knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25
 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
4:
1
 Masters, give unto
your
servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2
 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3
 withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4
 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5
 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6
 Let your speech
be
alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7
 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you,
who is
a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8
 whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9
 with Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is
one
of you. They shall make known unto you all things which
are done
here.
10
 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11
 and Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only
are my
fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12
 Epaphras, who is
one
of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13
 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them
that are
in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis.
14
 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15
 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16
 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the
epistle
from Laodicea.
17
 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18
 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace
be
with you. Amen.
56
 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
57
 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58
 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59
 When God heard
this,
he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
60
 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
which
he placed among men;
61
 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
62
 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63
 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64
 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
28
 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive
not
with thy lips.
29
 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
1
 Righteous
art
thou, O L
ORD
, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of
thy
judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
wherefore
are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2
 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou
art
near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3
 But thou, O L
ORD
, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4
 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5
 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and
if
in the land of peace,
wherein
thou trustedst,
they wearied thee,
then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6
 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7
 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8
 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9
 Mine heritage
is
unto me
as
a speckled bird, the birds round about
are
against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10
 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11
 They have made it desolate,
and being
desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth
it
to heart.
12
 The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the L
ORD
shall devour from the
one
end of the land even to the
other
end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13
 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain,
but
shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the L
ORD
.
14
 Thus saith the L
ORD
against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15
 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16
 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The L
ORD
liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17
 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the L
ORD
.
13:
1
 Thus saith the L
ORD
unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
2
 So I got a girdle according to the word of the L
ORD
, and put
it
on my loins.
3
 And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me the second time, saying,
4
 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which
is
upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5
 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the L
ORD
commanded me.
6
 And it came to pass after many days, that the L
ORD
said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7
 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8
 Then the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
9
 Thus saith the L
ORD
, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
10
 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
11
 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the L
ORD
; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
12
 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13
 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the L
ORD
, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14
 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the L
ORD
: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
15
 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the L
ORD
hath spoken.
16
 Give glory to the L
ORD
your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death,
and
make
it
gross darkness.
17
 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for
your
pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the L
ORD
's flock is carried away captive.
18
 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down,
even
the crown of your glory.
19
 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open
them:
Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
20
 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where
is
the flock
that
was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
21
 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them
to be
captains,
and
as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22
 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered,
and
thy heels made bare.
23
 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
then
may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24
 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
25
 This
is
thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the L
ORD
; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26
 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
27
 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom,
and
thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when
shall it
once
be?
14:
1
 The word of the L
ORD
that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
2
 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3
 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits,
and
found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
4
 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
5
 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook
it,
because there was no grass.
6
 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because
there was
no grass.
7
 O L
ORD
, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou
it
for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
8
 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man
that
turneth aside to tarry for a night?
9
 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man
that
cannot save? yet thou, O L
ORD
,
art
in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
10
 Thus saith the L
ORD
unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the L
ORD
doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
