(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 If thou wilt returne, O Israel, saith the Lord, returne vnto mee: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.

2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth, in Trueth, in Iudgement, and in Righteousnes, and the nations shall blesse themselues in him, and in him shall they glorie.

3 ¶ For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah and Ierusalem, Breake vp your fallow ground, and sow not among thornes.

4 Circumcise your selues to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your heart, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my furie come forth like fire, and burne that none can quench it, because of the euill of your doings.

5 Declare ye in Iudah, and publish in Ierusalem, and say, Blow yee the Trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into the defenced cities.

6 Set vp the standards toward Zion: retyre, stay not; for I will bring euil from the North, and a great destruction.

7 The Lion is come vp from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; hee is gone foorth from his place to make thy land desolate, and thy cities shall be layed waste, without an inhabitant.

8 For this gird you with sackcloth; lament and howle: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.

9 And it shall come to passe at that day, saith the Lord, that the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the Princes: and the Priests shalbe astonished, & the prophets shall wonder.

10 Then said I, Ah Lord God, surely thou hast greatly deceiued this people, and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, whereas the sword reacheth vnto the soule.

11 At that time shall it bee said to this people, and to Ierusalem; A dry winde of the high places in the wildernes toward the daughter of my people, not to fanne, nor to cleanse.

12 Euen a full winde from those places shall come vnto mee: now also will I giue sentence against them.

13 Behold, hee shall come vp as cloudes, and his charets shall bee as a whirlewinde: his horses are swifter then Eagles: woe vnto vs, for wee are spoiled.

14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednesse, that thou mayest bee saued: how long shall thy vaine thoughts lodge within thee?

15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.

16 Make ye mention to the nations, behold, publish against Ierusalem, that watchers come from a farre countrey, and giue out their voice against the cities of Iudah.

17 As keepers of a fielde are they against her round about; because shee hath bene rebellious against mee, saith the Lord.

18 Thy way and thy doings haue procured these things vnto thee, this is thy wickednes because it is bitter, because it reacheth vnto thine heart.

19 ¶ My bowels, my bowels, I am pained at my very heart, my heart maketh a noise in mee, I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soule, the sound of the Trumpet, the alarme of warre.

20 Destruction vpon destruction is cried, for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtaines in a moment.

21 How long shal I see the standard and heare the sound of the Trumpet?

22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me, they are sottish children, and they haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe good they haue no knowledge.

23 I beheld the earth, and loe, it was without forme and void: and the heauens, and they had no light.

24 I beheld the mountaines, and loe they trembled, and all the hilles mooued lightly.

25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauens were fled.

26 I beheld, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.

27 For thus hath the Lord said; The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full ende.

28 For this shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue be blacke: because I haue spoken it, I haue purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.

29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen, they shall goe into thickets, and climbe vp vpon the rockes: euery city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.

30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou doe? though thou clothest thy selfe with crimsin, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vaine shalt thou make thy selfe faire, thy louers will despise thee, they will seeke thy life.

31 For I haue heard a voice as of a woman in trauel, and the anguish as of her that bringeth foorth her first childe, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth her selfe, that spreadeth her hands, saying; Woe is me now, for my soule is wearied because of murderers.

Larry Falzitto's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 5/16/2013, 9:55am...

We should interject Jeremiah 4: 23-26 in between Genesis 1:2 and 1:3! Then take a good long studied look at what it now states! And after doing that, take a good very long studied look into the new discoveries and fact being dug up of the last decade, concerning the destruction of earth by a comet that broke into many pieces(the instrument of God's judgment!)that happened back before and during the Younger-Dryas event of 12,900 years ago! That's what I think. There is a 'gap' between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 but it is not billions, millions or even 100's of thousands of years, but rather only a few thousand, and the recreation from the damage caused by the comet, took God only SIX literal days to restore! That's what I think. God bless!

 


MDB's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 7/07/2012, 5:42am...

This is the 1st Earth Age,
Genesis 1:1-2
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Our Father didnt create nothin "Void" this word was means became that way.
To understand our Fathers 7 thousand year plan, one must understand the 3- Earth Age's

 


Hawk's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 1/14/2012, 12:51am...

Wow! That's a raelly neat answer!

 


Garyloyd's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 1/01/2012, 10:37pm...

The 1000 years is for teaching.the Elect are Priest and teach. Know one, not even the wicked die until the Great White Throne judgment. The wicked maybe in a pit. But after the 1000 years satan will be let out as lucifer the created man and even then it says that some will follow him into the fire. They get lied to again by a man lucifer and they Don't think they will lose. They do! Now in Revelation the acting roll and the power given the false prophet go into the fire but satan goes into the pit until that short season.

 


Garyloyd's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 1/01/2012, 10:26am...

Catharine this says in verse 22 my people, that's all. That and in the Hebrew it says at this flood God took the Earth and submerged it in the water and washed it top to bottom, turned it like a bowl. Here the waters where gone! As with in Noahs flood the waters receeded as a normal flood would do. Noahs flood with Boat and two of every flesh and a bird and trees were about. I'm pretty sure that Noahs flood was targeted to get rid of a bunch of bad angels trying to disrupt Gods plans. The 6th of Genesis speaks of these angels who left their first estate. Fallen sons of God and it will be like this in the end times with the locust coming. If you go and google search the companion Bible appendixes you can scroll down to appendix #146 and see of the different worlds or ages we will live in.(ge) beatiful green and the katabole or attempted overthrow by satan wanting and trying to steal Gods throne. This age ended with this flood, God got mad because we were stupit.

 


Itsme Thistime's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 12/03/2011, 12:48pm...

It's my understanding that this chapter is God emphasizing the fact that he has distroyed this earth once before(in the first earth-age) and, in essence, he's not afraid to do it again

 


Johnny Hodges's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment on 6/08/2011, 10:32am...

Jeremiah 4:23-27 speaks of an earth that was created
and destroyed before the present earth in Genesis
1 was created and there's a well known Preacher on
the TV that agrees with me

 


Catharina's Jeremiah Chapter 4 comment about verse 23 on 3/04/2011, 6:14pm...

I belief that this scene will be reality at the end of the tribulation when Jesus and the Father will gather his elect to take them to heaven to be with them for the 1000 years and the earth is in absolute ruins and empty of the wicked people who perished at that time.
