Jeremiah 7:29

They call them rejected silver Because Yahweh has rejected them.

“For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing, And for the pastures of the wilderness a funeral lamentation, Because they are turned into ruin so that no one passes through, And the lowing of the cattle is not heard; Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

“For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion, ‘How we are destroyed! We are put to great shame, For we have left the land Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

“I have forsaken My house; I have abandoned My inheritance; I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.

Have You completely rejected Judah? Or have You loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us? We hoped for peace, but there was no good; And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!

Even if You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.

Hear this word which I take up for you as a funeral lament, O house of Israel:
