P. 50

Justice to him that sits in judgment whom shall I make to understand my Law? I
                   have said to my chosen, this is the place of my rest hear I will cause the weary to
                   rest. This is the place of tranquility;
                   Judah and Jerusalem will not listen. The word of the Lord will be to them filth
                   upon filth, filth upon filth, vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit and a little here a
                   little there. They might return and fall backward and be broken and snared and
                   taken. You have said we have made a covenant with death. We have made an
                   agreement with each other when the overflowing Word shall pass through they
                   shall not come near us. We have placed our hope in lies and under falsehood we
                   have covered ourselves.

                                               Quintessence of Jeremiah


                   To whom the word of the Lord came. The word of the Lord said to me before I
                   formed you in the belly I knew you. Before you came out of the womb I sanctified
                   you and ordained you a prophet to the nations.


                   Hear the word of the Lord oh house of Jacob and all the families of the house of
                   Israel. Thus, says the Lord what iniquity have your fathers found in me that they
                   are gone far from me and have walked after vanity and have profited nothing?
                   The word of the Lord said hews down her trees and cast a mound against
                   Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited with destruction. All of her calumnies are
                   in the midst of her. As a cistern that gathers its water so has she gathered her
                   wickedness, violence and plunder are heard in her?

                   To whom shall I speak and give warning that they may hear? Their ears are dull
                   and they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is to them a reproach. They have no
                   delight in him. Therefore, you are full of the fury of the Lord and you are weary. I
                   will measure and then I will pour it out upon the children in the streets and upon
                   the assembly of young men together. Husbands and wives shall be taken the old
                   men with the infants. Their houses shall be given to others with their fields and
                   wives together. I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land says
                   the Lord. From the least of them even to the greatest of them everyone commits
                   treachery. From the false prophets, even to the Priest and high priests every one
                   of them deals falsely.


                   The word of the Lord said to me go and buy for you a linen girdle and put it on.  I
                   bought a girdle according to the word of the Lord and put it on. The word of the
                   Lord came to me the second time and said take the girdle which you have bought
                   arise go to the Euphrates and bury it there in a hole of the rock. I went and buried
                   it by the Euphrates, as my Lord commanded me. After many days, my Lord said
                   to me arise go to the Euphrates and take from there the girdle which I
                   commanded you to bury there. I went to the Euphrates and dug and took the
                   girdle from the place where I had buried it. The girdle was rotted and was good
                   for nothing. The word of the Lord then came to me and said in this manner will I
