in him, behold, they [are] written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the kings
<04428>

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

36:10

And when the year
<08141>

was expired
<08666>_,

king
<04428>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

sent
<07971> (8804)_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Babylon
<0894>_,

with the goodly
<02532>

vessels
<03627>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and made Zedekiah
<06667>

his brother
<0251>

king
<04427> (8686)

over Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{when...: Heb. at the return of the year} {goodly...: Heb. vessels of desire} {Zedekiah...: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother}

36:11

Zedekiah
<06667>

[was] one
<0259>

and twenty

old

when he began to reign

eleven
<0259> <06240>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

36:12

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

[and] humbled
<03665> (8738)

not himself before
<06440>

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

[speaking] from the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

36:13

And he also rebelled
<04775> (8804)

against king
<04428>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>_,

who had made him swear
<07650> (8689)

by God
<0430>_:

but he stiffened
<07185> (8686)

his neck
<06203>_,

and hardened
<0553> (8762)

his heart
<03824>

from turning
<07725> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

36:14

Moreover all the chief
<08269>

of the priests
<03548>_,

and the people
<05971>_,

transgressed
<04603> (8800)

very
<04604>

much
<07235> (8689)

after all the abominations
<08441>

of the heathen
<01471>_;

and polluted
<02930> (8762)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he had hallowed
<06942> (8689)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

36:15

And the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to them by
<03027>

his messengers
<04397>_,

rising up betimes
<07925> (8687)_,

and sending
<07971> (8800)_;

because he had compassion
<02550> (8804)

on his people
<05971>_,

and on his dwelling place
<04583>_:

{by: Heb. by the hand of} {betimes: that is, continually and carefully}

36:16

But they mocked
<03931> (8688)

the messengers
<04397>

of God
<0430>_,

and despised
<0959> (8802)

his words
<01697>_,

and misused
<08591> (8700)

his prophets
<05030>_,

until the wrath
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>

arose
<05927> (8800)

against his people
<05971>_,

till [there was] no remedy
<04832>_.

{remedy: Heb. healing}

36:17

Therefore he brought
<05927> (8686)

upon them the king
<04428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

who slew
<02026> (8799)

their young men
<0970>

with the sword
<02719>

in the house
<01004>

of their sanctuary
<04720>_,

and had no compassion
<02550> (8804)

upon young man
<0970>

or maiden
<01330>_,

old man
<02205>_,

or him that stooped for age
<03486>_:

he gave
<05414> (8804)

[them] all into his hand
<03027>_.

36:18

And all the vessels
<03627>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

great
<01419>

and small
<06996>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king
<04428>_,

and of his princes
<08269>_;

all [these] he brought
<0935> (8689)

to Babylon
<0894>_.

36:19

And they burnt
<08313> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

and brake down
<05422> (8762)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and burnt
<08313> (8804)

all the palaces
<0759>

thereof with fire
<0784>_,

and destroyed
<07843> (8687)

all the goodly
<04261>

vessels
<03627>

thereof.

36:20

And them that had escaped
<07611>

from the sword
<02719>

carried he away
<01540> (8686)

to Babylon
<0894>_;

where they were servants
<05650>

to him and his sons
<01121>

until the reign
<04427> (8800)

of the kingdom
<04438>

of Persia
<06539>_:

{them...: Heb. the remainder from the sword}

36:21

To fulfil
<04390> (8763)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the mouth
<06310>

of Jeremiah
<03414>_,

until the land
<0776>

had enjoyed
<07521> (8804)

her sabbaths
<07676>_:

[for] as long as
<03117>

she lay desolate
<08074> (8715)

she kept sabbath
<07673> (8804)_,

to fulfil
<04390> (8763)

threescore and ten
<07657>

years
<08141>_.

36:22

Now in the first
<0259>

year
<08141>

of Cyrus
<03566>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

[spoken] by the mouth
<06310>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

might be accomplished
<03615> (8800)_,

the LORD
<03068>

stirred up
<05782> (8689)

the spirit
<07307>

of Cyrus
<03566>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

that he made a proclamation
<05674> (8686) <06963>

throughout all his kingdom
<04438>_,

and [put it] also in writing
<04385>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,
