My son, do not reject the chastening of Jehovah, and do not loathe His correction;

If you faint in the day of distress, your strength is small.

For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.

You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which is to try you, as though something unheard of was happening to you;

And it happened when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall die the death!

And the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But Jehovah hid them.

Therefore the rulers said to the king, Please let this man be put to death. For in this way he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm.

And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchijah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And there was no water in the pit, only mud. So Jeremiah sank into the mud.

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the dwelling of the strong. But I will suddenly make him run away from her. And who is a chosen one that I may appoint over her? For who is like Me? And who will summon Me? And who is that shepherd who will stand before Me?

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the dwelling of the strong. But I will make them suddenly run away from her. And who is a chosen one whom I may appoint over her? For who is like Me? And who will set My appointments? And who is that shepherd who will face Me?

and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped into the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),

These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me.

i1 [To the chief Musician. Shoshannim. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Deliver me, O God; for the waters have come in upon my soul!

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I have come into deep waters, where the floods have overflowed me.
