Jeremiah 11:19-21

11:19

But I [was] like a lamb
<03532>

[or] an ox
<0441>

[that] is brought
<02986> (8714)

to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_;

and I knew
<03045> (8804)

not that they had devised
<02803> (8804)

devices
<04284>

against me, [saying], Let us destroy
<07843> (8686)

the tree
<06086>

with the fruit
<03899>

thereof, and let us cut him off
<03772> (8799)

from the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_,

that his name
<08034>

may be no more remembered
<02142> (8735)_.

{the tree...: Heb. the stalk with his bread}

11:20

But, O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that judgest
<08199> (8802)

righteously
<06664>_,

that triest
<0974> (8802)

the reins
<03629>

and the heart
<03820>_,

let me see
<07200> (8799)

thy vengeance
<05360>

on them: for unto thee have I revealed
<01540> (8765)

my cause
<07379>_.

11:21

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of the men
<0582>

of Anathoth
<06068>_,

that seek
<01245> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that thou die
<04191> (8799)

not by our hand
<03027>_:

Jeremiah 15:10

15:10

Woe
<0188>

is me, my mother
<0517>_,

that thou hast borne
<03205> (8804)

me a man
<0376>

of strife
<07379>

and a man
<0376>

of contention
<04066>

to the whole earth
<0776>_!

I have neither lent on usury
<05383> (8804)_,

nor men have lent to me on usury
<05383> (8804)_;

[yet] every one of them doth curse
<07043> (8764)

me.

Jeremiah 18:18-23

18:18

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they, Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us devise
<02803> (8799)

devices
<04284>

against Jeremiah
<03414>_;

for the law
<08451>

shall not perish
<06> (8799)

from the priest
<03548>_,

nor counsel
<06098>

from the wise
<02450>_,

nor the word
<01697>

from the prophet
<05030>_.

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us smite
<05221> (8686)

him with the tongue
<03956>_,

and let us not give heed
<07181> (8686)

to any of his words
<01697>_.

{with...: or, for the tongue}

18:19

Give heed
<07181> (8685)

to me, O LORD
<03068>_,

and hearken
<08085> (8798)

to the voice
<06963>

of them that contend
<03401>

with me.

18:20

Shall evil
<07451>

be recompensed
<07999> (8792)

for good
<02896>_?

for they have digged
<03738> (8804)

a pit
<07745>

for my soul
<05315>_.

Remember
<02142> (8798)

that I stood
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

thee to speak
<01696> (8763)

good
<02896>

for them, [and] to turn away
<07725> (8687)

thy wrath
<02534>

from them.

18:21

Therefore deliver up
<05414> (8798)

their children
<01121>

to the famine
<07458>_,

and pour out
<05064> (8685)

their [blood] by the force
<03027>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and let their wives
<0802>

be bereaved
<07909>

of their children, and [be] widows
<0490>_;

and let their men
<0582>

be put
<02026> (8803)

to death
<04194>_;

[let] their young men
<0970>

[be] slain
<05221> (8716)

by the sword
<02719>

in battle
<04421>_.

{pour...: Heb. pour them out}

18:22

Let a cry
<02201>

be heard
<08085> (8735)

from their houses
<01004>_,

when thou shalt bring
<0935> (8686)

a troop
<01416>

suddenly
<06597>

upon them: for they have digged
<03738> (8804)

a pit
<07745> (8675) <07882>

to take
<03920> (8800)

me, and hid
<02934> (8804)

snares
<06341>

for my feet
<07272>_.

18:23

Yet, LORD
<03068>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

all their counsel
<06098>

against me to slay
<04194>

[me]: forgive
<03722> (8762)

not their iniquity
<05771>_,

neither blot out
<04229> (8686)

their sin
<02403>

from thy sight
<06440>_,

but let them be overthrown
<03782> (8716)

before
<06440>

thee; deal
<06213> (8798)

[thus] with them in the time
<06256>

of thine anger
<0639>_.

{to slay...: Heb. for death}

Jeremiah 20:7-10

20:7

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast deceived
<06601> (8765)

me, and I was deceived
<06601> (8735)_:

thou art stronger
<02388> (8804)

than I, and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:

I am in derision
<07814>

daily
<03117>_,

every one mocketh
<03932> (8802)

me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}

20:8

For since
<01767>

I spake
<01696> (8762)_,

I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,

I cried
<07121> (8799)

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>_;

because the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was made a reproach
<02781>

unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,

daily
<03117>_.

20:9

Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)

of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)

any more in his name
<08034>_.

But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>

as a burning
<01197> (8802)

fire
<0784>

shut up
<06113> (8803)

in my bones
<06106>_,

and I was weary
<03811> (8738)

with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,

and I could
<03201> (8799)

not [stay].

20:10

For I heard
<08085> (8804)

the defaming
<01681>

of many
<07227>_,

fear
<04032>

on every side
<05439>_.

Report
<05046> (8685)_,

[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)

it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>

watched
<08104> (8802)

for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,

[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,

and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)

our revenge
<05360>

on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}

Jeremiah 37:1--38:28

37:1

And king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

instead of Coniah
<03659>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,

whom Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

made king
<04427> (8689)

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

37:2

But neither he, nor his servants
<05650>_,

nor the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

did hearken
<08085> (8804)

unto the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>_.

{by...: Heb. by the hand of the prophet}

37:3

And Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

Jehucal
<03081>

the son
<01121>

of Shelemiah
<08018>

and Zephaniah
<06846>

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04641>

the priest
<03548>

to the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Pray
<06419> (8690)

now unto the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

for us.

37:4

Now Jeremiah
<03414>

came in
<0935> (8804)

and went out
<03318> (8802)

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_:

for they had not put
<05414> (8804)

him into prison
<01004> <03628>_.

37:5

Then Pharaoh's
<06547>

army
<02428>

was come forth
<03318> (8804)

out of Egypt
<04714>_:

and when the Chaldeans
<03778>

that besieged
<06696> (8802)

Jerusalem
<03389>

heard
<08085> (8799)

tidings
<08088>

of them, they departed
<05927> (8735)

from Jerusalem
<03389>_.

37:6

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

37:7

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

that sent
<07971> (8802)

you unto me to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of me; Behold, Pharaoh's
<06547>

army
<02428>_,

which is come forth
<03318> (8802)

to help
<05833>

you, shall return
<07725> (8804)

to Egypt
<04714>

into their own land
<0776>_.

37:8

And the Chaldeans
<03778>

shall come again
<07725> (8804)_,

and fight
<03898> (8738)

against this city
<05892>_,

and take
<03920> (8804)

it, and burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_.

37:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Deceive
<05377> (8686)

not yourselves
<05315>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The Chaldeans
<03778>

shall surely
<01980> (8800)

depart
<03212> (8799)

from us: for they shall not depart
<03212> (8799)_.

{yourselves: Heb. your souls}

37:10

For though ye had smitten
<05221> (8689)

the whole army
<02428>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

that fight
<03898> (8737)

against you, and there remained
<07604> (8738)

[but] wounded
<01856> (8794)

men
<0582>

among them, [yet] should they rise up
<06965> (8799)

every man
<0376>

in his tent
<0168>_,

and burn
<08313> (8804)

this city
<05892>

with fire
<0784>_.

{wounded: Heb. thrust through}

37:11

And it came to pass, that when the army
<02428>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>

was broken up
<05927> (8736)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

for fear
<06440>

of Pharaoh's
<06547>

army
<02428>_,

{broken...: Heb. made to ascend}

37:12

Then Jeremiah
<03414>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

out of Jerusalem
<03389>

to go
<03212> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

to separate
<02505> (8687)

himself thence in the midst
<08432>

of the people
<05971>_.

{separate...: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people}

37:13

And when he was in the gate
<08179>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

a captain
<01167>

of the ward
<06488>

[was] there, whose name
<08034>

[was] Irijah
<03376>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shelemiah
<08018>_,

the son
<01121>

of Hananiah
<02608>_;

and he took
<08610> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou fallest away
<05307> (8802)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>_.

37:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

[It is] false
<08267>_;

I fall not away
<05307> (8802)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>_.

But he hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not to him: so Irijah
<03376>

took
<08610> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to the princes
<08269>_.

{false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie}

37:15

Wherefore the princes
<08269>

were wroth
<07107> (8799)

with Jeremiah
<03414>_,

and smote
<05221> (8689)

him, and put
<05414> (8804)

him in prison
<0612>

in the house
<01004>

of Jonathan
<03083>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_:

for they had made
<06213> (8804)

that the prison
<03608>_.

37:16

When Jeremiah
<03414>

was entered
<0935> (8804)

into the dungeon
<01004> <0953>_,

and into the cabins
<02588>_,

and Jeremiah
<03414>

had remained
<03427> (8799)

there many
<07227>

days
<03117>_;

{cabins: or, cells}

37:17

Then Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took him out
<03947> (8799)_:

and the king
<04428>

asked
<07592> (8799)

him secretly
<05643>

in his house
<01004>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Is there [any] word
<01697>

from the LORD
<03068>_?

And Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

There is
<03426>_:

for, said
<0559> (8799)

he, thou shalt be delivered
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

37:18

Moreover Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>_,

What have I offended
<02398> (8804)

against thee, or against thy servants
<05650>_,

or against this people
<05971>_,

that ye have put
<05414> (8804)

me in prison
<01004> <03608>_?

37:19

Where [are] now
<0346>

your prophets
<05030>

which prophesied
<05012> (8738)

unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

against you, nor against this land
<0776>_?

37:20

Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)

now, I pray thee, O my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_:

let my supplication
<08467>_,

I pray thee, be accepted
<05307> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee; that thou cause me not to return
<07725> (8686)

to the house
<01004>

of Jonathan
<03083>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

lest I die
<04191> (8799)

there. {let...: Heb. let my supplication fall}

37:21

Then Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

that they should commit
<06485> (8686)

Jeremiah
<03414>

into the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_,

and that they should give
<05414> (8800)

him daily
<03117>

a piece
<03603>

of bread
<03899>

out of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_'

street
<02351>_,

until all the bread
<03899>

in the city
<05892>

were spent
<08552> (8800)_.

Thus Jeremiah
<03414>

remained
<03427> (8799)

in the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_.

38:1

Then Shephatiah
<08203>

the son
<01121>

of Mattan
<04977>_,

and Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Pashur
<06583>_,

and Jucal
<03116>

the son
<01121>

of Shelemiah
<08018>_,

and Pashur
<06583>

the son
<01121>

of Malchiah
<04441>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

that Jeremiah
<03414>

had spoken
<01696> (8764)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

38:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

He that remaineth
<03427> (8802)

in this city
<05892>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_:

but he that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>

shall live
<02421> (8804)_;

for he shall have his life
<05315>

for a prey
<07998>_,

and shall live
<02421> (8799) (8675) <02425> (8804)_.

38:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

This city
<05892>

shall surely
<05414> (8736)

be given
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

army
<02428>_,

which shall take
<03920> (8804)

it.

38:4

Therefore the princes
<08269>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

We beseech thee, let this man
<0376>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

for thus
<03651>

he weakeneth
<07503> (8764)

the hands
<03027>

of the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

that remain
<07604> (8737)

in this city
<05892>_,

and the hands
<03027>

of all the people
<05971>_,

in speaking
<01696> (8763)

such words
<01697>

unto them: for this man
<0376>

seeketh
<01875> (8802)

not the welfare
<07965>

of this people
<05971>_,

but the hurt
<07451>_.

{welfare: Heb. peace}

38:5

Then Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, he [is] in your hand
<03027>_:

for the king
<04428>

[is] not [he that] can
<03201> (8799)

do [any] thing
<01697>

against you.

38:6

Then took
<03947> (8799)

they Jeremiah
<03414>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

him into the dungeon
<0953>

of Malchiah
<04441>

the son
<01121>

of Hammelech
<04428>_,

that [was] in the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_:

and they let down
<07971> (8762)

Jeremiah
<03414>

with cords
<02256>_.

And in the dungeon
<0953>

[there was] no water
<04325>_,

but mire
<02916>_:

so Jeremiah
<03414>

sunk
<02883> (8799)

in the mire
<02916>_.

{of Hammelech: or, of the king}

38:7

Now when Ebedmelech
<05663>

the Ethiopian
<03569>_,

one
<0376>

of the eunuchs
<05631>

which was in the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

that they had put
<05414> (8804)

Jeremiah
<03414>

in the dungeon
<0953>_;

the king
<04428>

then sitting
<03427> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>

of Benjamin
<01144>_;

38:8

Ebedmelech
<05663>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

to the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

38:9

My lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

these men
<0582>

have done evil
<07489> (8689)

in all that they have done
<06213> (8804)

to Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_,

whom they have cast
<07993> (8689)

into the dungeon
<0953>_;

and he is like to die
<04191> (8799)

for
<06440>

hunger
<07458>

in the place
<08478>

where he is: for [there is] no more bread
<03899>

in the city
<05892>_.

{he is like...: Heb. he will die}

38:10

Then the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Ebedmelech
<05663>

the Ethiopian
<03569>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

from hence thirty
<07970>

men
<0582>

with thee
<03027>_,

and take up
<05927> (8689)

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

out of the dungeon
<0953>_,

before he die
<04191> (8799)_.

{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}

38:11

So Ebedmelech
<05663>

took
<03947> (8799)

the men
<0582>

with him
<03027>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

under the treasury
<0214>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

thence old
<01094>

cast clouts
<05499>

and old
<01094>

rotten rags
<04418>_,

and let them down
<07971> (8762)

by cords
<02256>

into the dungeon
<0953>

to Jeremiah
<03414>_.

38:12

And Ebedmelech
<05663>

the Ethiopian
<03569>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

Put
<07760> (8798)

now [these] old
<01094>

cast clouts
<05499>

and rotten rags
<04418>

under thine armholes
<0679> <03027>

under the cords
<02256>_.

And Jeremiah
<03414>

did
<06213> (8799)

so.

38:13

So they drew up
<04900> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

with cords
<02256>_,

and took him up
<05927> (8686)

out of the dungeon
<0953>_:

and Jeremiah
<03414>

remained
<03427> (8799)

in the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_.

38:14

Then Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

unto him into the third
<07992>

entry
<03996>

that [is] in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

I will ask
<07592> (8802)

thee a thing
<01697>_;

hide
<03582> (8762)

nothing from me. {third: or, principal}

38:15

Then Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Zedekiah
<06667>_,

If I declare
<05046> (8686)

[it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely
<04191> (8687)

put me to death
<04191> (8686)_?

and if I give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,

wilt thou not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto me?

38:16

So Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

sware
<07650> (8735)

secretly
<05643>

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

that made
<06213> (8804)

us this soul
<05315>_,

I will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)_,

neither will I give
<05414> (8799)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of these men
<0582>

that seek
<01245> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_.

38:17

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto Zedekiah
<06667>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

If thou wilt assuredly
<03318> (8800)

go forth
<03318> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

princes
<08269>_,

then thy soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8804)_,

and this city
<05892>

shall not be burned
<08313> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_;

and thou shalt live
<02421> (8804)_,

and thine house
<01004>_:

38:18

But if thou wilt not go forth
<03318> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

princes
<08269>_,

then shall this city
<05892>

be given
<05414> (8738)

into the hand
<03027>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

and they shall burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_,

and thou shalt not escape out
<04422> (8735)

of their hand
<03027>_.

38:19

And Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

I am afraid
<01672> (8802)

of the Jews
<03064>

that are fallen
<05307> (8804)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

lest they deliver
<05414> (8799)

me into their hand
<03027>_,

and they mock
<05953> (8694)

me.

38:20

But Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They shall not deliver
<05414> (8799)

[thee]. Obey
<08085> (8798)_,

I beseech thee, the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which I speak
<01696> (8802)

unto thee: so it shall be well
<03190> (8799)

unto thee, and thy soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8799)_.

38:21

But if thou refuse
<03986>

to go forth
<03318> (8800)_,

this [is] the word
<01697>

that the LORD
<03068>

hath shewed
<07200> (8689)

me:

38:22

And, behold, all the women
<0802>

that are left
<07604> (8738)

in the king
<04428>

of Judah's
<03063>

house
<01004>

[shall be] brought forth
<03318> (8716)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

princes
<08269>_,

and those [women] shall say
<0559> (8802)_,

Thy friends
<0582> <07965>

have set thee on
<05496> (8689)_,

and have prevailed
<03201> (8804)

against thee: thy feet
<07272>

are sunk
<02883> (8717)

in the mire
<01206>_,

[and] they are turned away
<05472> (8738)

back
<0268>_.

{Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}

38:23

So they shall bring out
<03318> (8688)

all thy wives
<0802>

and thy children
<01121>

to the Chaldeans
<03778>_:

and thou shalt not escape out
<04422> (8735)

of their hand
<03027>_,

but shalt be taken
<08610> (8735)

by the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_:

and thou shalt cause this city
<05892>

to be burned
<08313> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_.

{thou shalt cause...: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc}

38:24

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Zedekiah
<06667>

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

Let no man
<0376>

know
<03045> (8799)

of these words
<01697>_,

and thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.

38:25

But if the princes
<08269>

hear
<08085> (8799)

that I have talked
<01696> (8765)

with thee, and they come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee, and say
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Declare
<05046> (8685)

unto us now what thou hast said
<01696> (8765)

unto the king
<04428>_,

hide
<03582> (8762)

it not from us, and we will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)_;

also what the king
<04428>

said
<01696> (8765)

unto thee:

38:26

Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, I presented
<05307> (8688)

my supplication
<08467>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

that he would not cause me to return
<07725> (8687)

to Jonathan's
<03083>

house
<01004>_,

to die
<04191> (8800)

there.

38:27

Then came
<0935> (8799)

all the princes
<08269>

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

and asked
<07592> (8799)

him: and he told
<05046> (8686)

them according to all these words
<01697>

that the king
<04428>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.

So they left off speaking
<02790> (8686)

with him; for the matter
<01697>

was not perceived
<08085> (8738)_.

{they...: Heb. they were silent from him}

38:28

So Jeremiah
<03414>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>

until the day
<03117>

that Jerusalem
<03389>

was taken
<03920> (8738)_:

and he was [there] when Jerusalem
<03389>

was taken
<03920> (8738)_.
