And he heard the Words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, read more And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp? And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both. This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight. And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount. And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. show less

Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these Words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the Words of this covenant, and do them.

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the Words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my Words; and they went 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.

For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair Words unto thee.

This evil people, which refuse to hear my Words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

Thy Words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these Words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my Words.

• Jeremiah
• Conspiracy
• Slander

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.

And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the Words that I shall tell thee,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my Words.

But if ye will not hear these Words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the Words of his holiness.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the Words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my Words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my Words every one from his neighbour.

And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the Words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my Words,

And I will bring upon that land all my Words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these Words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

• Temple

Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the Words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

To hearken to the Words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these Words in the house of the LORD.

Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the Words that ye have heard.

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these Words in your ears.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the Words of Jeremiah:

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his Words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these Words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

• Temple

Therefore hearken not unto the Words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

• Temple

Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the Words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy Words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD'S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

• Priest

Now these are the Words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

Because they have not hearkened to my Words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

• Israelites
• Adultery

Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying Words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.

Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the Words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

And these are the Words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these Words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the Words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the Words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the Words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the Words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.

• Temple

Then read Baruch in the book the Words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.

When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the Words of the LORD,

Then Michaiah declared unto them all the Words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.

Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the Words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these Words.

And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these Words at his mouth?

Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these Words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.

And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the Words in the ears of the king.

Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these Words.

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the Words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former Words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like Words.

• Zedekiah
• Impenitence

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the Words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.

Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the Words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,

Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such Words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these Words, and thou shalt not die.

Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these Words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my Words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your Words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose Words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my Words shall surely stand against you for evil:

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these Words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these Words that are written against Babylon.

And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these Words;

And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the Words of Jeremiah.

• Scorpions

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their Words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their Words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my Words unto them.
