Jeremiah 21:1--23:8

21:1

The word
<01697>

which came unto Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

when king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>

sent
<07971> (8800)

unto him Pashur
<06583>

the son
<01121>

of Melchiah
<04441>_,

and Zephaniah
<06846>

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04641>

the priest
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:2

Enquire
<01875> (8798)_,

I pray thee, of the LORD
<03068>

for us
<01157>_;

for Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

maketh war
<03898> (8737)

against us; if so be that the LORD
<03068>

will deal
<06213> (8799)

with us according to all his wondrous works
<06381> (8737)_,

that he may go up
<05927> (8799)

from us.

21:3

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto them, Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to Zedekiah
<06667>_:

21:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Behold, I will turn back
<05437> (8688)

the weapons
<03627>

of war
<04421>

that [are] in your hands
<03027>_,

wherewith ye fight
<03898> (8737)

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and [against] the Chaldeans
<03778>_,

which besiege
<06696> (8802)

you without
<02351>

the walls
<02346>_,

and I will assemble
<0622> (8804)

them into the midst
<08432>

of this city
<05892>_.

21:5

And I myself will fight
<03898> (8738)

against you with an outstretched
<05186> (8803)

hand
<03027>

and with a strong
<02389>

arm
<02220>_,

even in anger
<0639>_,

and in fury
<02534>_,

and in great
<01419>

wrath
<07110>_.

21:6

And I will smite
<05221> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of this city
<05892>_,

both man
<0120>

and beast
<0929>_:

they shall die
<04191> (8799)

of a great
<01419>

pestilence
<01698>_.

21:7

And afterward
<0310>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I will deliver
<05414> (8799)

Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and his servants
<05650>_,

and the people
<05971>_,

and such as are left
<07604> (8737)

in this city
<05892>

from the pestilence
<01698>_,

from the sword
<02719>_,

and from the famine
<07458>_,

into the hand
<03027>

of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of those that seek
<01245> (8764)

their life
<05315>_:

and he shall smite
<05221> (8689)

them with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

he shall not spare
<02347> (8799)

them, neither have pity
<02550> (8799)_,

nor have mercy
<07355> (8762)_.

21:8

And unto this people
<05971>

thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I set
<05414> (8802)

before
<06440>

you the way
<01870>

of life
<02416>_,

and the way
<01870>

of death
<04194>_.

21:9

He that abideth
<03427> (8802)

in this city
<05892>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_:

but he that goeth out
<03318> (8802)_,

and falleth
<05307> (8804)

to the Chaldeans
<03778>

that besiege
<06696> (8802)

you, he shall live
<02421> (8804) (8675) <02421> (8799)_,

and his life
<05315>

shall be unto him for a prey
<07998>_.

21:10

For I have set
<07760> (8804)

my face
<06440>

against this city
<05892>

for evil
<07451>_,

and not for good
<02896>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

it shall be given
<05414> (8735)

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_.

21:11

And touching the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

[say], Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

21:12

O house
<01004>

of David
<01732>_,

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Execute
<01777> (8798)

judgment
<04941>

in the morning
<01242>_,

and deliver
<05337> (8685)

[him that is] spoiled
<01497> (8803)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the oppressor
<06231> (8802)_,

lest my fury
<02534>

go out
<03318> (8799)

like fire
<0784>_,

and burn
<01197> (8804)

that none can quench
<03518> (8764)

[it], because
<06440>

of the evil
<07455>

of your doings
<04611>_.

{Execute: Heb. Judge}

21:13

Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of the valley
<06010>_,

[and] rock
<06697>

of the plain
<04334>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

which say
<0559> (8802)_,

Who shall come down
<05181> (8799)

against us? or who shall enter
<0935> (8799)

into our habitations
<04585>_?

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

21:14

But I will punish
<06485> (8804)

you according to the fruit
<06529>

of your doings
<04611>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)

a fire
<0784>

in the forest
<03293>

thereof, and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

all things round about
<05439>

it. {punish: Heb. visit upon}

22:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Go down
<03381> (8798)

to the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

there this word
<01697>_,

22:2

And say
<0559> (8804)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

O king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

that sittest
<03427> (8802)

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>_,

thou, and thy servants
<05650>_,

and thy people
<05971>

that enter
<0935> (8802)

in by these gates
<08179>_:

22:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Execute
<06213> (8798)

ye judgment
<04941>

and righteousness
<06666>_,

and deliver
<05337> (8685)

the spoiled
<01497> (8803)

out of the hand
<03027>

of the oppressor
<06216>_:

and do no wrong
<03238> (8686)_,

do no violence
<02554> (8799)

to the stranger
<01616>_,

the fatherless
<03490>_,

nor the widow
<0490>_,

neither shed
<08210> (8799)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

in this place
<04725>_.

22:4

For if ye do
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>

indeed
<06213> (8800)_,

then shall there enter in
<0935> (8804)

by the gates
<08179>

of this house
<01004>

kings
<04428>

sitting
<03427> (8802)

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>_,

riding
<07392> (8802)

in chariots
<07393>

and on horses
<05483>_,

he, and his servants
<05650>_,

and his people
<05971>_.

{upon...: Heb. for David upon his throne}

22:5

But if ye will not hear
<08085> (8799)

these words
<01697>_,

I swear
<07650> (8738)

by myself, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that this house
<01004>

shall become a desolation
<02723>_.

22:6

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>_;

Thou [art] Gilead
<01568>

unto me, [and] the head
<07218>

of Lebanon
<03844>_:

[yet] surely I will make
<07896> (8799)

thee a wilderness
<04057>_,

[and] cities
<05892>

[which] are not inhabited
<03427> (8738) (8675) <03427> (8737)_.

22:7

And I will prepare
<06942> (8765)

destroyers
<07843> (8688)

against thee, every one
<0376>

with his weapons
<03627>_:

and they shall cut down
<03772> (8804)

thy choice
<04005>

cedars
<0730>_,

and cast
<05307> (8689)

[them] into the fire
<0784>_.

22:8

And many
<07227>

nations
<01471>

shall pass
<05674> (8804)

by this city
<05892>_,

and they shall say
<0559> (8804)

every man
<0376>

to his neighbour
<07453>_,

Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

thus unto this great
<01419>

city
<05892>_?

22:9

Then they shall answer
<0559> (8804)_,

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them.

22:10

Weep
<01058> (8799)

ye not for the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

neither bemoan
<05110> (8799)

him: [but] weep
<01058> (8798)

sore
<01058> (8800)

for him that goeth away
<01980> (8802)_:

for he shall return
<07725> (8799)

no more, nor see
<07200> (8804)

his native
<04138>

country
<0776>_.

22:11

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

touching
<0413>

Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which reigned
<04427> (8802)

instead of Josiah
<02977>

his father
<01>_,

which went forth
<03318> (8804)

out of this place
<04725>_;

He shall not return
<07725> (8799)

thither any more:

22:12

But he shall die
<04191> (8799)

in the place
<04725>

whither they have led him captive
<01540> (8689)_,

and shall see
<07200> (8799)

this land
<0776>

no more.

22:13

Woe
<01945>

unto him that buildeth
<01129> (8802)

his house
<01004>

by
<03808>

unrighteousness
<06664>_,

and his chambers
<05944>

by wrong
<04941>_;

[that] useth his neighbour's
<07453>

service
<05647> (8799)

without wages
<02600>_,

and giveth
<05414> (8799)

him not for his work
<06467>_;

22:14

That saith
<0559> (8802)_,

I will build
<01129> (8799)

me a wide
<04060>

house
<01004>

and large
<07304> (8794)

chambers
<05944>_,

and cutteth him out
<07167> (8804)

windows
<02474>_;

and [it is] cieled
<05603> (8803)

with cedar
<0730>_,

and painted
<04886> (8800)

with vermilion
<08350>_.

{large: Heb. through-aired} {windows: or, my windows}

22:15

Shalt thou reign
<04427> (8799)_,

because thou closest
<08474> (8808)

[thyself] in cedar
<0730>_?

did not thy father
<01>

eat
<0398> (8804)

and drink
<08354> (8804)_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>_,

[and] then [it was] well
<02896>

with him?

22:16

He judged
<01777> (8804)

the cause
<01779>

of the poor
<06041>

and needy
<034>_;

then [it was] well
<02896>

[with him: was] not this to know
<01847>

me? saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

22:17

But thine eyes
<05869>

and thine heart
<03820>

[are] not but for thy covetousness
<01215>_,

and for to shed
<08210> (8800)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_,

and for oppression
<06233>_,

and for violence
<04835>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

[it]. {violence: or, incursion}

22:18

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

They shall not lament
<05594> (8799)

for him, [saying], Ah
<01945>

my brother
<0251>_!

or, Ah
<01945>

sister
<0269>_!

they shall not lament
<05594> (8799)

for him, [saying], Ah
<01945>

lord
<0113>_!

or, Ah
<01945>

his glory
<01935>_!

22:19

He shall be buried
<06912> (8735)

with the burial
<06900>

of an ass
<02543>_,

drawn
<05498> (8800)

and cast forth
<07993> (8687)

beyond
<01973>

the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

22:20

Go up
<05927> (8798)

to Lebanon
<03844>_,

and cry
<06817> (8798)_;

and lift up
<05414> (8798)

thy voice
<06963>

in Bashan
<01316>_,

and cry
<06817> (8798)

from the passages
<05676>_:

for all thy lovers
<0157> (8764)

are destroyed
<07665> (8738)_.

22:21

I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto thee in thy prosperity
<07962>_;

[but] thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not hear
<08085> (8799)_.

This [hath been] thy manner
<01870>

from thy youth
<05271>_,

that thou obeyedst
<08085> (8804)

not my voice
<06963>_.

{prosperity: Heb. prosperities}

22:22

The wind
<07307>

shall eat up
<07462> (8799)

all thy pastors
<07462> (8802)_,

and thy lovers
<0157> (8764)

shall go
<03212> (8799)

into captivity
<07628>_:

surely then shalt thou be ashamed
<0954> (8799)

and confounded
<03637> (8738)

for all thy wickedness
<07451>_.

22:23

O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Lebanon
<03844>_,

that makest thy nest
<07077> (8794)

in the cedars
<0730>_,

how gracious
<02603> (8738)

shalt thou be when pangs
<02256>

come
<0935> (8800)

upon thee, the pain
<02427>

as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_!

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

22:24

[As] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

though Coniah
<03659>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

were the signet
<02368>

upon my right
<03225>

hand
<03027>_,

yet would I pluck
<05423> (8799)

thee thence;

22:25

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

thee into the hand
<03027>

of them that seek
<01245> (8764)

thy life
<05315>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

[of them] whose face
<06440>

thou fearest
<03016> (8801)_,

even into the hand
<03027>

of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.

22:26

And I will cast thee out
<02904> (8689)_,

and thy mother
<0517>

that bare
<03205> (8804)

thee, into another
<0312>

country
<0776>_,

where ye were not born
<03205> (8795)_;

and there shall ye die
<04191> (8799)_.

22:27

But to the land
<0776>

whereunto they desire
<05375> (8764) (8676) <05315>

to return
<07725> (8800)_,

thither shall they not return
<07725> (8799)_.

{desire: Heb. lift up their mind}

22:28

[Is] this man
<0376>

Coniah
<03659>

a despised
<0959> (8737)

broken
<05310> (8803)

idol
<06089>_?

[is he] a vessel
<03627>

wherein [is] no pleasure
<02656>_?

wherefore are they cast out
<07993> (8717)_,

he and his seed
<02233>_,

and are cast
<02904> (8717)

into a land
<0776>

which they know
<03045> (8804)

not?

22:29

O earth
<0776>_,

earth
<0776>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

22:30

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Write
<03789> (8798)

ye this man
<0376>

childless
<06185>_,

a man
<01397>

[that] shall not prosper
<06743> (8799)

in his days
<03117>_:

for no man
<0376>

of his seed
<02233>

shall prosper
<06743> (8799)_,

sitting
<03427> (8802)

upon the throne
<03678>

of David
<01732>_,

and ruling
<04910> (8802)

any more in Judah
<03063>_.

23:1

Woe
<01945>

be unto the pastors
<07462> (8802)

that destroy
<06> (8764)

and scatter
<06327> (8688)

the sheep
<06629>

of my pasture
<04830>_!

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

23:2

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

against the pastors
<07462> (8802)

that feed
<07462> (8802)

my people
<05971>_;

Ye have scattered
<06327> (8689)

my flock
<06629>_,

and driven them away
<05080> (8686)_,

and have not visited
<06485> (8804)

them: behold, I will visit
<06485> (8802)

upon you the evil
<07455>

of your doings
<04611>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

23:3

And I will gather
<06908> (8762)

the remnant
<07611>

of my flock
<06629>

out of all countries
<0776>

whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)

them, and will bring them again
<07725> (8689)

to their folds
<05116>_;

and they shall be fruitful
<06509> (8804)

and increase
<07235> (8804)_.

23:4

And I will set up
<06965> (8689)

shepherds
<07462> (8802)

over them which shall feed
<07462> (8804)

them: and they shall fear
<03372> (8799)

no more, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,

neither shall they be lacking
<06485> (8735)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

23:5

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will raise
<06965> (8689)

unto David
<01732>

a righteous
<06662>

Branch
<06780>_,

and a King
<04428>

shall reign
<04427> (8804)

and prosper
<07919> (8689)_,

and shall execute
<06213> (8804)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>

in the earth
<0776>_.

23:6

In his days
<03117>

Judah
<03063>

shall be saved
<03467> (8735)_,

and Israel
<03478>

shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

safely
<0983>_:

and this [is] his name
<08034>

whereby he shall be called
<07121> (8799)_,

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
<03072>_.

{THE LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}

23:7

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that they shall no more say
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

which brought up
<05927> (8689)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_;

23:8

But, The LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

which brought up
<05927> (8689)

and which led
<0935> (8689)

the seed
<02233>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

out of the north
<06828>

country
<0776>_,

and from all countries
<0776>

whither I had driven
<05080> (8689)

them; and they shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in their own land
<0127>_.
