1
The Word of Yahuah came to Yirmeyahu son of Chilqiyahu, saying:
2
“Speak to this people: How long will you add sin to sin and lawlessness to lawlessness?
3
You have forsaken the fountain of living waters and have turned toward the works of your own hands.
4
You have oppressed the weak, dealt falsely with one another, and profaned the Name while claiming the protection of My House.
5
Therefore speak plainly. If they turn, I shall receive them. If they harden themselves, the city and the House shall be delivered into the hand of a foreign king.”
6
And Yirmeyahu received the Word with fear and went to proclaim it.
