010:021 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired
of Yahweh: therefore they have not prospered, and all their
flocks are scattered.
010:022 The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out
of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
a dwelling place of jackals.
010:023 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself:
it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
010:024 Yahweh, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger,
lest you bring me to nothing.
010:025 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you,
and on the families that don't call on your name:
for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him
and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
011:001 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
011:002 Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
011:003 and say you to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed be
the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,
011:004 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying,
Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you:
so shall you be my people, and I will be your God;
011:005 that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers,
to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.
Then answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh.
011:006 Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words
of this covenant, and do them.
011:007 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I
brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day,
rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
011:008 Yet they didn't obey, nor turn their ear, but walked
everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart:
therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant,
which I commanded them to do, but they didn't do them.
011:009 Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah,
and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
011:010 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers,
who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods
to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah
have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
011:011 Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them,
which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me,
but I will not listen to them.
011:012 Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense:
