“ Will you judge them? Will you judge them, son of man? Then confront them with the detestable practices of their ancestors

Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Let them know the abominations of their fathers,

“ Son of man, bring charges against them and condemn them. Make them realize how detestable the sins of their ancestors really were.

“ Will you pass judgment against them, will you pass judgment, son of man? Explain the detestable practices of their ancestors to them.

Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Make known to them the abominations of their fathers;

Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Then make known to them the abominations of their fathers.

Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;

“ Will you pass judgment against them, will you pass judgment, son of man? Explain the detestable practices of their fathers to them.

Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge[ them]? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:

“ Are you willing to pronounce judgment? Are you willing to pronounce judgment, son of man? Then confront them with the abominable practices of their fathers,

“ Will you judge them, son of man? Will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers.

“ Son of man, are you going to judge Jerusalem? Will you judge this city that has so many murderers in it? Then tell its people they have done many evil things. I hate those things.

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, are you going to judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then tell them they have done many evil things. I hate those things.

The Lord continued,“ Do not pray that things will go well with them.Even if they go without food, I will not listen to their cry for help. They might sacrifice burnt offerings and grain offerings. But I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with war, hunger and plague.”But I said,“ Lord and King, the prophets keep telling them something else. They say,‘ You won’t have to suffer from war or hunger. Instead, the Lord will give you peace and rest in this place.’ ”Then the Lord said to me,“ The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them. I have not even spoken to them. Everything they tell you about their visions or secret knowledge is a lie. They pretend to bring you messages from other gods. They try to get you to believe their own mistaken ideas.

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!Was there ever a prophet your people didn’t try to hurt? They even killed those who told about the coming of the Blameless One. And now you have handed him over to his enemies. You have murdered him.

“ Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not make any appeal or request for them. They will call out to me when they are in trouble. But I will not listen to them.

In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day. Certainly no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!“ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and throw stones in order to kill those who are sent to you. Many times I have wanted to gather your people together. I have wanted to be like a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings. And you would not let me.Look, your house is left empty. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,‘ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”( Psalm 118:26)

“ Son of man, tell the people of Jerusalem the evil things they have done. I hate those things.Tell them,‘ The Lord and King speaks to Jerusalem. He says,“ Your history in the land of Canaan goes back a long way. Your father was an Amorite. Your mother was a Hittite.

And suppose Noah, Daniel and Job were in that country. Then these three men could save only themselves by doing what is right,” announces the Lord and King.

And suppose Noah, Daniel and Job were in that land. Then they could not save their own sons or daughters. They could save only themselves by doing what is right. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.

“ Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not make any appeal or request for them. Do not beg me. I will not listen to you.

“ How terrible for you! You build tombs for the prophets. It was your people of long ago who killed them.So you show that you agree with what your people did long ago. They killed the prophets, and now you build the prophets’ tombs.So God in his wisdom said,‘ I will send prophets and apostles to them. They will kill some. And they will try to hurt others.’So the people of today will be punished. They will pay for all the prophets’ blood spilled since the world began.I mean from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah. He was killed between the altar and the temple. Yes, I tell you, the people of today will be punished for all these things.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Suppose Moses and Samuel were standing in front of me. Even then my heart would not feel sorry for these people. Send them away from me! Let them go!

So the Lord said,“ People of Jerusalem and Judah, you be the judge between me and my vineyard.

But judges who are right with God will sentence the sisters to be punished. They will be punished in the same way as women who commit adultery and murder. After all, they have committed adultery. And their hands are covered with the blood of the people they have murdered.”

Or don’t you know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? Since this is true, aren’t you able to judge small cases?

“ How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You build tombs for the prophets. You decorate the graves of the godly.And you say,‘ If we had lived in the days of those who lived before us, we wouldn’t have done what they did. We wouldn’t have helped to kill the prophets.’So you are witnesses against yourselves. You admit that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets.So go ahead and finish the sins that those who lived before you started!“ You nest of poisonous snakes! How will you escape from being sentenced to hell?So I am sending you prophets, wise people, and teachers. You will kill some of them. You will nail some to a cross. Others you will whip in your synagogues. You will chase them from town to town.So you will pay for all the godly people’s blood spilled on earth. I mean from the blood of godly Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berekiah. Zechariah was the one you murdered between the temple and the altar.What I’m about to tell you is true. All this will happen to those who are now living.“ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and throw stones in order to kill those who are sent to you. Many times I have wanted to gather your people together. I have wanted to be like a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings. And you would not let me!
