절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Is Anyone Honest and Faithful? / The said to me: “Search Jerusalem for honest people who try to be faithful. If you can find even one, I'll forgive the whole city.	Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2	Everyone breaks promises made in my name.”	And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3	I answered, “I know that you look for truth. You punished your people for their lies, but in spite of the pain, they became more stubborn and refused to turn back to you.”	O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4	Then I thought to myself, “These common people act like fools, and they have never learned what the Lord their God demands of them.	Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
5	So I'll go and talk to the leaders. They know what God demands.” But even they had decided not to obey the Lord.	I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6	The people have rebelled and rejected the Lord too many times. So enemies will attack like lions from the forest or wolves from the desert. Those enemies will watch the towns of Judah, and like leopards they will tear to pieces whoever goes outside.	Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7	Enemies Will Punish Judah / The said: People of Judah, how can I forgive you? I gave you everything, but you abandoned me and worshiped idols. You men go to prostitutes and are unfaithful to your wives.	How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8	You are no better than animals, and you always want sex with someone else's wife.	They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9	Why shouldn't I punish the people of Judah?	Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10	I will tell their enemies, “Go through my vineyard. Don't destroy the vines, but cut off the branches, because they are the people who don't belong to me.”	Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord’s.
11	In every way, Judah and Israel have been unfaithful to me. *	For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12	Their prophets lie and say, “The Lord won't punish us. We will have peace and plenty of food.”	They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13	They tell these lies in my name, so now they will be killed in war or starve to death.	And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14	I am the Lord God All-Powerful. Jeremiah, I will tell you exactly what to say. Your words will be a fire; Israel and Judah will be the fuel.	Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15	People of Israel, I have made my decision. An army from a distant country will attack you. I've chosen an ancient nation, and you won't understand their language.	Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16	All of them are warriors, and their arrows bring death.	Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17	This nation will eat your crops and livestock; they will leave no fruit on your vines or fig trees. And although you feel safe behind thick walls, your towns will be destroyed and your children killed.	And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18	Israel Refused To Worship the The Lord said: Jeremiah, the enemy army won't kill everyone in Judah.	Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.
19	And the people who survive will ask, “Why did the Lord our God do such terrible things to us?” Then tell them: I am the Lord, but you abandoned me and worshiped other gods in your own land. Now you will be slaves in a foreign country.	And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20	Tell these things to each other, you people of Judah, you descendants of Jacob.	Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21	You fools! Why don't you listen when I speak? Why can't you understand	Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22	that you should worship me with fear and trembling? I'm the one who made the shore to hold back the ocean. Waves may crash on the beach, but they can come no farther.	Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23	You stubborn people have rebelled and turned your backs on me.	But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24	You refuse to say, “Let's worship the Lord! He's the one who sends rain in spring and autumn and gives us a good harvest.”	Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25	That's why I cannot bless you! *	Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26	A hunter traps birds and puts them in a cage, but some of you trap humans and make them your slaves.	For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27	You are evil, and you lie and cheat to make yourselves rich. You are powerful	As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28	and prosperous, but you refuse to help the poor get the justice they deserve.	They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29	You need to be punished, and so I will take revenge.	Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30	Look at the terrible things going on in this country. I am shocked!	A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31	Prophets give their messages in the name of a false god, my priests don't want to serve me, and you—my own people— like it this way! But on the day of disaster, where will you turn for help?	The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
