As they remember their children, [so they remember] their altars and their Asherah-trees, beside leafy trees and upon lofty hills.
17:2
O [idolaters] on mountain in the field: Your wealth, all your treasures, shall make into booty, because of your high places [made] in sin throughout your boundaries.
17:3
Thus said Hashem: Accursed is the man who trusts in people and makes flesh [and blood] his strength and turns his heart away from Hashem.
:5
Blessed is the man who trusts in Hashem, then Hashem will be his security.
:7
The heart is the most deceitful of all, and it is fragile — who can know it?
:9
I, Hashem, plumb the feelings and test the innermost thoughts, to give to man according to his ways, the fruit of his deeds.
:10
[Like a partridge summoning together [chicks] it did not bear, so is one who amasses wealth unjustly, in the middle of his days it will leave him, and at his end he will be considered a scoundrel.
:11
O Hashem, Hope of Israel! May all who forsake You be ashamed; may those who turn aside from my [teachings] be inscribed [for burial] in the earth; for they have forsaken Hashem, the Source of fresh water.
:13
Heal me, Hashem, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved; for You are my praise.
:14
I was not anxious to become a shepherd for You and I did not lust for a day of distress; You know [this]! The words of my lips were directed to Your presence.
:16
May You not cause me dismay, for You are my shelter on a day of evil.
:17
Let my pursuers be shamed, and let me not be shamed; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed; bring upon them a day of evil and devastate them with double disaster.
:18
Thus said Hashem: ‘Beware for your souls, do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it into the gates of Jerusalem.
:21
And do not bring a burden out from your houses on the Sabbath day; you shall not do any [manner of] work. Sanctify the Sabbath day as I commanded your forefathers.
:22
But they did not listen and did not incline their ear; they stiffened their neck, in order not to hear and in order not to accept rebuke.
:23
And it shall be that if you truly listen to Me — the word of Hashem — not to bring a burden into the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and to sanctify the Sabbath day, not to do any [manner of] work on it,
:24
But if you do not listen to Me, to sanctify the Sabbath Day and not to carry a burden and enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I shall set a fire to its gates, which will consume the palaces of Jerusalem and not be extinguished.”
:27

1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, with a diamond point, engraved on the tablet of their heart and on the horns of your altars.
2 As they remember their children, [so do they remember] their altars, and their asherim by the green trees upon the high hillocks.
3 You, who sit upon the mountain in the field, I will give your substance, all your treasures for a spoil! Your high places are made for sin within all your borders.
4 And you shall release, and [I will avenge Myself] of you because of your heritage that I gave you, and I will make you serve your enemies in the land that you did not know, for you have kindled fire in My nostrils that shall burn forever.
5 So says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 He shall be like a lone tree in the plain, and will not see when good comes, and will dwell on parched land in the desert, on salt-sodden soil that is not habitable.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord; the Lord shall be his trust.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the water, and by a rivulet spreads its roots, and will not see when heat comes, and its leaves shall be green, and in the year of drought will not be anxious, neither shall it cease from bearing fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and when it is sick, who will recognize it?
10 I, the Lord, search the heart, test the kidneys, to give everyone according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
11 The cuckoo calls but has not laid, so it is he who gathers riches but not by right; he shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end he stands dishonored.
12 As a Throne of Glory, exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuary.
13 The Lord who is the source of the hopes of Israel, all that forsake You shall be shamed, and they who turn away from me shall be marked out on the earth that they have forsaken the source of living waters, the Lord.
14 Heal me, O Lord, then shall I be healed; help me, then I shall be helped, for You are my praise!
15 Behold, they say to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now.”
16 But I did not hasten since I was a shepherd after You, and I did not desire the woeful day, You know it. What came out of my lips was before Your face.
17 Let it not be to me for a ruin; You are my shelter on a day of evil.
18 May my pursuers be shamed, but let me not be shamed; may they be broken, but let me not be broken; bring upon them a day of evil, and with a second destruction destroy them.
19 So said the Lord to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, in which the kings of Judah come, and out of which they go, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
20 And you shall say to them: Hearken to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and all of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who come into these gates.
21 So said the Lord: Beware for your souls and carry no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring into the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Neither shall you take a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day nor shall you perform any labor, and you shall hallow the Sabbath day as I commanded your forefathers.
23 But they did not hearken, neither did they bend their ear[s], and they hardened their nape not to hearken and not to receive instruction.
24 And it shall be if you hearken to Me, says the Lord, not to bring any burden into the gates of this city on the Sabbath day and to hallow the Sabbath day not to perform any labor thereon,
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on David’s throne, riding in chariots and with horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city shall be inhabited forever.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from the environs of Jerusalem and from the land of Benjamin and from the lowland and from the mountain and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices and meal-offerings and frankincense, and those bringing thanksgiving offerings to the house of the Lord.
27 And if you will not hearken to Me to hallow the Sabbath day and not to carry burdens and to come into the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath, I will kindle a fire in her gates, and it will consume the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.
