| The men of Anathoth--It is pleasant to see so many of this Jewish town returning. It was a city of the Levites; but the people spurned Jeremiah's warning and called forth against themselves one of his severest predictions (Jer 32:27-35). This prophecy was fulfilled in the Assyrian conquest. Anathoth was laid waste and continued a heap of ruins. But the people, having been brought during the captivity to a better state of mind, returned, and their city was rebuilt. |
27 Behold, I am the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of all flesh [01320]: is there any thing [01697] too hard [06381] for me?
28 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], and into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall take [03920] it:
29 And the Chaldeans [03778], that fight [03898] against this city [05892], shall come [0935] and set [03341] fire [0784] on this city [05892], and burn [08313] it with the houses [01004], upon whose roofs [01406] they have offered incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and poured out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto other [0312] gods [0430], to provoke me to anger [03707].
30 For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and the children [01121] of Judah [03063] have only done [06213] evil [07451] before [05869] me from their youth [05271]: for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have only provoked me to anger [03707] with the work [04639] of their hands [03027], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
31 For this city [05892] hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger [0639] and of my fury [02534] from the day [03117] that they built [01129] it even unto this day [03117]; that I should remove [05493] it from before my face [06440],
32 Because of all the evil [07451] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], which they have done [06213] to provoke me to anger [03707], they, their kings [04428], their princes [08269], their priests [03548], and their prophets [05030], and the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389].
33 And they have turned [06437] unto me the back [06203], and not the face [06440]: though I taught [03925] them, rising up early [07925] and teaching [03925] them, yet they have not hearkened [08085] to receive [03947] instruction [04148].
34 But they set [07760] their abominations [08251] in the house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], to defile [02930] it.
35 And they built [01129] the high places [01116] of Baal [01168], which are in the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], to cause their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] to pass [05674] through the fire unto Molech [04432]; which I commanded [06680] them not, neither came [05927] it into my mind [03820], that they should do [06213] this abomination [08441], to cause Judah [03063] to sin [02398].
