절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	—	The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2	—	Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3	Jeremiah Speaks in the Temple The Lord told me to stand by the gate of the temple and tell the people who were going in that the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, had said: Pay attention, people of Judah! Change your ways and start living right, then I will let you keep on living in your own country.	Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4	Don't fool yourselves! My temple is here in Jerusalem, but that doesn't mean I will protect you.	Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5	I will keep you safe only if you change your ways and are fair and honest with each other.	For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6	Stop taking advantage of foreigners, orphans, and widows. Don't kill innocent people. And stop worshiping other gods.	If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7	Then I will let you enjoy a long life in this land I gave your ancestors.	Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8	But just look at what is happening! You put your trust in worthless lies.	Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9	You steal and murder; you lie in court and are unfaithful in marriage. You worship idols and offer incense to Baal, when these gods have never done anything for you.	Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10	And then you come into my temple and worship me! Do you think I will protect you so that you can go on sinning?	And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11	You are thieves, and you have made my temple your hideout. But I've seen everything you have done.	Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12	Go to Shiloh, where my sacred tent once stood. Take a look at what I did there. My people Israel sinned, and so I destroyed Shiloh!	But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13	While you have been sinning, I have been trying to talk to you, but you refuse to listen.	And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14	Don't think this temple will protect you. Long ago I told your ancestors to build it and worship me here, but now I have decided to tear it down, just as I destroyed Shiloh.	Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15	And as for you, people of Judah, I'm going to send you away from my land, just as I sent away the people of Ephraim and the other northern tribes.	And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16	Punishment for Worshiping Other Gods Jeremiah, don't pray for these people! I, the Lord, would refuse to listen.	Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17	Do you see what the people of Judah are doing in their towns and in the streets of Jerusalem?	Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18	Children gather firewood, their fathers build fires, and their mothers mix dough to bake bread for the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven. They even offer wine sacrifices to other gods, just to insult me.	The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19	But they are not only insulting me; they are also harming themselves by doing these shameful things.	Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20	And now, I, the Lord All-Powerful, will flood Judah with my fiery anger until nothing is left—no people or animals, no trees or crops.	Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21	It Is Useless To Offer Sacrifices The Lord told me to say to the people of Judah: I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, but I won't accept sacrifices from you. So don't even bother bringing them to me. You might as well just cook the meat for yourselves.	Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22	At the time I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, I didn't command them to offer sacrifices to me.	For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23	Instead, I told them, “If you listen to me and do what I tell you, I will be your God, you will be my people, and all will go well for you.”	But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24	But your ancestors refused to listen. They were stubborn, and whenever I wanted them to go one way, they always went the other.	But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25	Ever since your ancestors left Egypt, I have been sending my servants the prophets to speak for me.	Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26	But you have ignored me and become even more stubborn and sinful than your ancestors ever were!	Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27	Slaughter Valley / The said: Jeremiah, no matter what you do, the people won't listen.	Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
28	So you must say to them: People of Judah, I am the Lord your God, but you have refused to obey me, and you didn't change when I punished you. And now, you no longer even pretend to be faithful to me.	But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29	Shave your head bald and throw away the hair. Sing a funeral song on top of a barren hill. You people have made me angry, and I have abandoned you.	Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30	You have disobeyed me by putting your disgusting idols in my temple, and now the temple itself is disgusting to me.	For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31	At Topheth in Hinnom Valley you have built altars where you kill your children and burn them as sacrifices to other gods. I would never think of telling you to do this.	And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32	So watch out! Someday that place will no longer be called Topheth or Hinnom Valley. It will be called Slaughter Valley, because you will bury your dead there until you run out of room,	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33	and then bodies will lie scattered on the ground. Birds and wild animals will come and eat, and no one will be around to scare them off.	And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34	When I am finished with your land, there will be deathly silence in the empty ruins of Jerusalem and the towns of Judah—no happy voices, no sounds of parties or wedding celebrations.	Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
