New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jeremiah 5
30 "An appalling and horrible thing Has happened in the land:
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it?
Jeremiah 6
1 "Flee for safety, O sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem! Now blow a trumpet in Tekoa And raise a signal over Beth-haccerem; For evil looks down from the north, And a great destruction.
2 "The comely and dainty one, the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.
3 "Shepherds and their flocks will come to her, They will pitch their tents around her, They will pasture each in his place.
4 "Prepare war against her; Arise, and let us attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day declines, For the shadows of the evening lengthen!
5 "Arise, and let us attack by night And destroy her palaces!"
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts, "Cut down her trees And cast up a siege against Jerusalem. This is the city to be punished, In whose midst there is only oppression.
7 "As a well keeps its waters fresh, So she keeps fresh her wickedness. Violence and destruction are heard in her; Sickness and wounds are ever before Me.
8 "Be warned, O Jerusalem, Or I shall be alienated from you, And make you a desolation, A land not inhabited."
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts, "They will thoroughly glean as the vine the remnant of Israel; Pass your hand again like a grape gatherer Over the branches."
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
