절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	How Israel Can Return to the The Lord said: Israel, if you really want to come back to me, get rid of those disgusting idols.	If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
2	Make promises only in my name, and do what you promise! Then all nations will praise me, and I will bless them.	And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3	People of Jerusalem and Judah, don't be so stubborn! Your hearts have become hard, like unplowed ground where thornbushes grow.	For thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4	With all your hearts, keep the agreement I made with you. But if you are stubborn and keep on sinning, my anger will burn like a fire that cannot be put out. *	Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5	Disaster Is Coming / The said: “Sound the trumpets, my people. Warn the people of Judah, ‘Run for your lives!	Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6	Head for Jerusalem or another walled town!’ “Jeremiah, tell them I'm sending disaster from the north.	Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7	An army will come out, like a lion from its den. It will destroy nations and leave your towns empty and in ruins.”	The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8	Then I told the people of Israel, “Put on sackcloth! Mourn and cry out, ‘The Lord is still angry with us.’ ”	For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.
9	The Lord said, “When all this happens, the king and his officials, the prophets and the priests will be shocked and terrified.”	And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10	I said, “You are the Lord God. So why have you fooled everyone, especially the people of Jerusalem? Why did you promise peace, when a knife is at our throats?”	Then said I, Ah, Lord God! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
11	—	At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12	The Coming Disaster When disaster comes, the Lord will tell you people of Jerusalem, “I am sending a windstorm from the desert— not a welcome breeze. And it will sweep you away as punishment for your sins.	Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13	Look! The enemy army swoops down like an eagle; their cavalry and chariots race faster than storm clouds blown by the wind.” Then you will answer, “We are doomed!”	Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14	But Jerusalem, there is still time for you to be saved. Wash the evil from your hearts and stop making sinful plans,	O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
15	before a message of disaster arrives from the hills of Ephraim and the town of Dan.	For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16	—	Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17	The Lord said, “Tell the nations that my people have rebelled against me. And so an army will come from far away to surround Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. I, the Lord, have spoken.	As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.
18	“People of Judah, your hearts will be in pain, but it's your own fault that you will be punished.”	Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
19	Jeremiah's Vision of the Coming Punishment I can't stand the pain! My heart pounds, as I twist and turn in agony. I hear the signal trumpet and the battle cry of the enemy, and I cannot be silent.	My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20	I see the enemy defeating us time after time, leaving everything in ruins. Even my own home is destroyed in a moment.	Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21	How long will I see enemy flags and hear their trumpets?	How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22	I heard the Lord say, “My people ignore me. They are foolish children who do not understand that they will be punished. All they know is how to sin.”	For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23	After this, I looked around. The earth was barren, with no form of life. The sun, moon, and stars had disappeared.	I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24	The mountains were shaking;	I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25	no people could be seen, and all the birds had flown away.	I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26	Farmland had become a desert, and towns were in ruins. The Lord's fierce anger had done all of this.	I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
27	—	For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28	The Death of Jerusalem The Lord said: I have made my decision, and I won't change my mind. This land will be destroyed, although not completely. The sky will turn dark, and the earth will mourn.	For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29	Enemy cavalry and archers shout their battle cry. People run for their lives and try to find safety among trees and rocks. Every town is empty.	The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30	Jerusalem, your land has been wiped out. But you act like a prostitute and try to win back your lovers, who now hate you. You can put on a red dress, gold jewelry, and eye shadow, but it's no use— your lovers are out to kill you!	And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31	I heard groaning and crying. Was it a woman giving birth to her first child? No, it was Jerusalem, gasping for breath and begging for help. “I'm dying!” she said. “They have murdered me.”	For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
