Jeremiah Chapter 8 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ Here is what Yahweh says: “At that time, they will desecrate the graves of Jerusalem and bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of its princes, the bones of the priests,[1] the bones of the false prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of the city.

² They will spread them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, which they loved and served. They went after cosmic powers, inquired of them, bowed down before them in adoration, and worshiped them. Because they did these things, their bones will not be buried but will become fertilizer for the ground.[2]

³ However, I will leave some of these evil people alive and banish them to other places. Yet all the survivors will prefer death over life.[3] For I, Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, have spoken.”

⁴ “Jeremiah, say to the people, ‘Yahweh says:

⁵ So why have you, the people of Jerusalem,

⁶ I have listened carefully to what they say,

⁷ “Even the stork[6] in the skies

⁸ How dare you say, ‘We are wise,

⁹ The know-it-alls will be shamed, terrorized, and trapped.

¹⁰ Therefore I will give their wives to other men

¹¹ And they[16] treat the wounds of my beloved people[17]

¹² They have acted shamefully,

¹³ Yahweh says:

¹⁴ Why are we just sitting here?

¹⁵ We had hoped for peace and prosperity,

¹⁶ The snorting of his[21] horses is heard from Dan.

¹⁷ “For look! I am sending slithering snakes to bite you—

¹⁸ My joy has vanished,[25]

¹⁹ Listen! I hear my beloved people[26]

²⁰ “Summer has ended,

²¹ I am broken over the brokenness of my dear people.[29]

²² Is there no healer[31] in Gilead?
