24:018:010 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
24:018:011 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
24:018:012 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our
own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his
evil heart.
24:018:013 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen,
who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a
very horrible thing.
24:018:014 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the
rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come
from another place be forsaken?
24:018:015 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
24:018:016 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every
one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his
head.
24:018:017 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I
will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their
calamity.
24:018:018 Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
24:018:019 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
