TSK · Jeremiah 2:19

The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

He answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baals.

So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.

His bones are full of his youth, but youth shall lie down with him in the dust.

Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don't hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Thus says Yahweh, "Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.

"Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yahweh your God, when he led you by the way?

Yahweh said to me, "Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

"Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart."

Don't you fear me?' says Yahweh 'Won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.'

Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that [the king] cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.

For Israel has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.

Don't rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

Israel, return to Yahweh your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.

But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
