6 "O bij të Beniaminit, kërkoni një strehë jashtë Jeruzalemit. I bini borisë në Tekoa dhe ngrini një sinjal zjarri në Beth-kerem, sepse nga veriu po vjen një gjëmë, një shkatërrim i madh.
2 Unë do ta shkatërroj bijën e bukur dhe delikate të Sionit.
3 Në drejtim të saj vijnë barinj me kopetë e tyre; ngrenë çadrat e tyre rreth e qark kundër saj; secili kullot për veten e tij.
4 Përgatitni luftën kundër saj; çohuni dhe le të dalim në mes të ditës! Mjerë ne, sepse dita po kalon dhe hijet e mbrëmjes po zgjaten!
5 Çohuni dhe të dalim natën, të shkatërrojmë pallatet e tij!".
6 Sepse kështu thotë Zoti i ushtrive: "Prisni drurët e tij dhe ndërtoni një ledh kundër Jeruzalemit; ky është qyteti që duhet ndëshkuar; në mes të tij nuk ka veçse shtypje.
7 Ashtu si një pus nxjerr ujërat e tij, kështu ai nxjerr ligësinë e vet; në të flitet vetëm për dhunë dhe për shkatërrim; para meje qëndrojnë vazhdimisht dhembje dhe plagë.
8 Lejo të të korrigjojnë, o Jeruzalem, përndryshe shpirti im do të largohet nga ti, përndryshe do të të katandis në një shkretim, në një tokë të pabanuar".
9 Kështu thotë Zoti i ushtrive: "Ata që kanë mbetur nga Izraeli do të mblidhen si vilet e pavjela të një vreshti; kaloje përsëri dorën tënde si vjelësi mbi degëzat e hardhisë.
10 Kujt do t’i flas dhe cilin do të qortoj që të më dëgjojë? Ja, veshi i tyre është i parrethprerë dhe ata nuk janë të zotë të tregojnë kujdes; ja, fjala e Zotit është bërë për ta objekt përçmimi dhe ata nuk gjejnë tek ajo asnjë kënaqësi.
11 Prandaj jam mbushur me zemërimin e madh të Zotit; jam lodhur duke e përmbajtur. Do ta hedh mbi fëmijët në rrugë dhe mbi të rinjtë e mbledhur bashkë, sepse do të kapen si burri ashtu dhe gruaja, si plaku ashtu dhe burri i ngarkuar me vite.
12 Shtëpitë e tyre do t’u kalojnë të tjerëve, së bashku me arat e tyre dhe bashkëshortet e tyre, sepse unë do të shtrij dorën time mbi banorët e vendit," thotë Zoti.
13 "Sepse nga më i vogli deri tek më i madhi të gjithë lakmojnë fitime; nga profeti deri te prifti janë të gjithë gënjeshtarë.
14 Ata e mjekojnë shkel e shko plagën e popullit tim, duke thënë: "Paqe, paqe," kur nuk ka paqe.
15 A ju vinte turp kur kryenin gjëra të neveritshme? Jo! Nuk kishin turp fare dhe as nuk dinin se ç’ishte të skuqeshe. Prandaj do të rrëzohen midis atyre që rrëzohen; kur do t’i vizitoj, do të rrëzohen," thotë Zoti.
16 Kështu thotë Zoti: "Ndaluni nëpër rrugë dhe shikoni, pyesni për shtigjet e vjetra, ku është rruga e mirë, dhe ecni nëpër të; kështu do të gjeni prehje për shpirtrat tuaj". Por ata përgjigjen: "Nuk do të ecim nëpër të".
17 "Kam vënë roje mbi ju: Kushtojini kujdes zërit të borisë!". Por ata përgjigjen: "Nuk do t’i kushtojmë kujdes".
18 "Prandaj, dëgjoni, o kombe, dhe dije, o kuvend, çfarë do t’u ndodhë atyre.
19 Dëgjo, o tokë! Ja, unë do të sjell mbi këtë popull një gjëmë, vetë frytin e mendimeve të tij, sepse nuk u kanë kushtuar kujdes fjalëve të mia dhe as ligjit tim, por e kanë hedhur poshtë.
20 Ç’më hyn në punë temjani që vjen nga Sheba, kanella erë mirë që vjen nga një vend i largët? Olokaustet tuaja nuk më pëlqejnë dhe sakrificat tuaja nuk më pëlqejnë".
21 Prandaj kështu thotë Zoti: "Ja, unë do të vendos para këtij populli disa gurë pengese në të cilët do të pengohen bashkë etër dhe bij; fqinji dhe miku do të vdesin".
22 Kështu thotë Zoti: "Ja, një popull vjen nga një vend i veriut dhe një komb i madh do të dalë nga skajet e tokës.
23 Ata rrokin harkun dhe ushtën; janë të egër dhe nuk kanë mëshirë; zëri i tyre i ngjet zhurmës së detit; ata kanë hipur mbi kuaj dhe janë gati të luftojnë si një njeri i vetëm kundër teje, o bijë e Sionit".
24 "Kemi dëgjuar famën e tyre dhe na ranë duart; ankthi na ka mbërthyer, ashtu si dhembjet që zënë një grua që po lind".
25 Mos dilni nëpër ara, mos ecni nëpër rrugë, sepse shpata e armikut dhe tmerri janë kudo.
26 O bijë e popullit tim, vishu me thes dhe rrotullohu në hi; mbaj zi si për një bir të vetëm, me një vajtim shumë të hidhur, sepse shkatërruesi do të sulet mbi ne papritmas.
27 Unë të kisha vënë midis popullit tim si një provues dhe një fortesë, me qëllim që ti të njihje rrugën e tyre dhe ta provoje atë.
28 Ata janë të gjithë rebelë midis rebelëve, shkojnë rreth e qark duke përhapur shpifje; janë bronz dhe hekur, janë të tërë korruptues.
29 Gjyryku fryn me forcë, plumbi konsumohet nga zjarri; më kot e rafinon rafinuesi, sepse skorjet nuk shkëputen.
30 Do të quhen "argjend i refuzimit," sepse Zoti i ka hedhur poshtë.

New International Version
Jerusalem Under Siege
6 “Flee for safety, people of Benjamin!
Flee from Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet(A) in Tekoa!(B)
Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!(C)
For disaster looms out of the north,(D)
even terrible destruction.
2 I will destroy Daughter Zion,(E)
so beautiful and delicate.(F)
3 Shepherds(G) with their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents around(H) her,
each tending his own portion.”
4 “Prepare for battle against her!
Arise, let us attack at noon!(I)
But, alas, the daylight is fading,
and the shadows of evening grow long.
5 So arise, let us attack at night
and destroy her fortresses!”
6 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Cut down the trees(J)
and build siege ramps(K) against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished;
it is filled with oppression.(L)
7 As a well pours out its water,
so she pours out her wickedness.
Violence(M) and destruction(N) resound in her;
her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
8 Take warning, Jerusalem,
or I will turn away(O) from you
and make your land desolate
so no one can live in it.”
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Let them glean the remnant(P) of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
like one gathering grapes.”
10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen(Q) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](R)
so they cannot hear.(S)
The word(T) of the Lord is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(U) of the Lord,
and I cannot hold it in.(V)
“Pour it out on the children in the street
and on the young men(W) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
and the old, those weighed down with years.(X)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(Y)
together with their fields and their wives,(Z)
when I stretch out my hand(AA)
against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
13 “From the least to the greatest,
all(AB) are greedy for gain;(AC)
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.(AD)
14 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.(AE)
15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.(AF)
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish(AG) them,”
says the Lord.
16 This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,(AH)
ask where the good way(AI) is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest(AJ) for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 I appointed watchmen(AK) over you and said,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’(AL)
But you said, ‘We will not listen.’(AM)
18 Therefore hear, you nations;
you who are witnesses,
observe what will happen to them.
19 Hear, you earth:(AN)
I am bringing disaster(AO) on this people,
the fruit of their schemes,(AP)
because they have not listened to my words(AQ)
and have rejected my law.(AR)
20 What do I care about incense from Sheba(AS)
or sweet calamus(AT) from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable;(AU)
your sacrifices(AV) do not please me.”(AW)
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“I will put obstacles before this people.
Parents and children alike will stumble(AX) over them;
neighbors and friends will perish.”
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(AY)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(AZ)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(BA)
They sound like the roaring sea(BB)
as they ride on their horses;(BC)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(BD)”
24 We have heard reports about them,
and our hands hang limp.(BE)
Anguish(BF) has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(BG)
25 Do not go out to the fields
or walk on the roads,
for the enemy has a sword,
and there is terror on every side.(BH)
26 Put on sackcloth,(BI) my people,
and roll in ashes;(BJ)
mourn with bitter wailing(BK)
as for an only son,(BL)
for suddenly the destroyer(BM)
will come upon us.
27 “I have made you a tester(BN) of metals
and my people the ore,
that you may observe
and test their ways.
28 They are all hardened rebels,(BO)
going about to slander.(BP)
They are bronze and iron;(BQ)
they all act corruptly.
29 The bellows blow fiercely
to burn away the lead with fire,
but the refining(BR) goes on in vain;
the wicked are not purged out.
30 They are called rejected silver,(BS)
because the Lord has rejected them.”(BT)

Jeremiah 6
King James Version
Jeremiah 6
King James Version
6 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
6 For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
