TSK · Jeremiah 4:20

For the LORD had said to Moses,“Tell the Israelites,‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I went up among you for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments, that I may know what I should do to you.’”

“‘If you walk in hostility against me and are not willing to obey me, I will increase your affliction seven times according to your sins.

I will walk in hostile rage against you and I myself will also discipline you seven times on account of your sins.

“Get away from this community, so that I can consume them in an instant!” But they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground.

His glorious name deserves praise forevermore! May his majestic splendor fill the whole earth! We agree! We agree!

Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals! You will see Jerusalem, a peaceful settlement, a tent that stays put; its stakes will never be pulled up; none of its ropes will snap in two.

Make your tent larger, stretch your tent curtains farther out! Spare no effort, lengthen your ropes, and pound your stakes deep.

I said,“Indeed, let them come quickly and sing a song of mourning for us. Let them wail loudly until tears stream from our own eyes and our eyelids overflow with water.

But our tents have been destroyed. The ropes that held them in place have been ripped apart. Our children are gone and are not coming back. There is no survivor to put our tents back up, no one left to hang their tent curtains in place.

ו(Vav) He destroyed his temple as if it were a vineyard; he destroyed his appointed meeting place. The LORD has made those in Zion forget both the festivals and the Sabbaths. In his fierce anger he has spurned both king and priest.

Terror is coming! They will seek peace, but find none.

How awful that day will be! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Divine Destroyer.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
