<h3>The Broken Covenant</h3>11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant 4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you. So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5 that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.” 6 And the Lord said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, warning them persistently, even to this day, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.” 9 Again the Lord said to me, “A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape. Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings, but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13 For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame, altars to make offerings to Baal. 14 “Therefore do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. 15 What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done many vile deeds? Can even sacrificial flesh avert your doom? Can you then exult? 16 The Lord once called you ‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed. 17 The Lord of hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”<poetry> 18 <poetry>The <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> made it known to me and I knew; <indent>then you showed me their deeds.</indent> </poetry> 19 <poetry>But I was like a gentle lamb <indent>led to the slaughter.</indent> I did not know it was against me <indent>they devised schemes, saying,</indent> “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, <indent> let us cut him off from the land of the living,</indent> <indent>that his name be remembered no more.”</indent> </poetry> 20 <poetry>But, O <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> of hosts, who judges righteously, <indent>who tests the heart and the mind,</indent> let me see your vengeance upon them, <indent>for to you have I committed my cause.</indent></poetry></poetry> 21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”

 1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2  “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 3 You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel:  Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant 4 that I commanded your fathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt,  from the iron furnace, saying,  Listen to my voice, and do all that I command you.  So shall you be my people, and I will be your God, 5  that I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers,  to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.” 6 And the Lord said to me,  “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem:  Hear the words of this covenant and do them. 7 For I solemnly warned your fathers when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt,  warning them persistently, even to this day, saying,  Obey my voice. 8  Yet they did not obey or incline their ear,  but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all  the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not.” 9 Again the Lord said to me,  “A conspiracy exists among the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10 They have turned back to  the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words.  They have gone after other gods to serve them.  The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their fathers. 11 Therefore, thus says the Lord, Behold, I am bringing disaster upon them that they cannot escape.  Though they cry to me, I will not listen to them. 12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem  will go and cry to the gods to whom they make offerings,  but they cannot save them in the time of their trouble. 13  For your gods have become as many as your cities, O Judah, and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to shame,  altars to make offerings to Baal. 14 “Therefore  do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf,  for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. 15  What right has my beloved in my house,  when she has done many vile deeds?

I did not know  it was against me they devised schemes, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,  let us cut him off from  the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more.”  20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously, who  tests  the heart and the mind,  let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause. 21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of  Anathoth,  who seek your life, and say,  “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of  Anathoth,  the year of their punishment.”

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
