Jeremiah 21:1-10

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>_.

Jeremiah 27:12--28:17

27:12

I spake
<01696> (8765)

also to Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

according to all these words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring
<0935> (8685)

your necks
<06677>

under the yoke
<05923>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

him and his people
<05971>_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_.

27:13

Why will ye die
<04191> (8799)_,

thou and thy people
<05971>_,

by the sword
<02719>_,

by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

against the nation
<01471>

that will not serve
<05647> (8799)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_?

27:14

Therefore hearken
<08085> (8799)

not unto the words
<01697>

of the prophets
<05030>

that speak
<0559> (8802)

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

Ye shall not serve
<05647> (8799)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_:

for they prophesy
<05012> (8737)

a lie
<08267>

unto you.

27:15

For I have not sent
<07971> (8804)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

yet they prophesy
<05012> (8737)

a lie
<08267>

in my name
<08034>_;

that I might drive you out
<05080> (8687)_,

and that ye might perish
<06> (8804)_,

ye, and the prophets
<05030>

that prophesy
<05012> (8737)

unto you. {a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly}

27:16

Also I spake
<01696> (8765)

to the priests
<03548>

and to all this people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Hearken
<08085> (8799)

not to the words
<01697>

of your prophets
<05030>

that prophesy
<05012> (8737)

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

Behold, the vessels
<03627>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>

shall now shortly
<04120>

be brought again
<07725> (8716)

from Babylon
<0894>_:

for they prophesy
<05012> (8737)

a lie
<08267>

unto you.

27:17

Hearken
<08085> (8799)

not unto them; serve
<05647> (8798)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_:

wherefore should this city
<05892>

be laid waste
<02723>_?

27:18

But if they [be] prophets
<05030>_,

and if the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

be
<03426>

with them, let them now make intercession
<06293> (8799)

to the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that the vessels
<03627>

which are left
<03498> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and [in] the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

go
<0935> (8804)

not to Babylon
<0894>_.

27:19

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

concerning the pillars
<05982>_,

and concerning the sea
<03220>_,

and concerning the bases
<04350>_,

and concerning the residue
<03499>

of the vessels
<03627>

that remain
<03498> (8737)

in this city
<05892>_,

27:20

Which Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

took
<03947> (8804)

not, when he carried away captive
<01540> (8687)

Jeconiah
<03204>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

from Jerusalem
<03389>

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and all the nobles
<02715>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_;

27:21

Yea, thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

concerning the vessels
<03627>

that remain
<03498> (8737)

[in] the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and [in] the house
<01004>

of the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and of Jerusalem
<03389>_;

27:22

They shall be carried
<0935> (8714)

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and there shall they be until the day
<03117>

that I visit
<06485> (8800)

them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

then will I bring
<05927> (8689)

them up, and restore
<07725> (8689)

them to this place
<04725>_.

28:1

And it came to pass the same year
<08141>_,

in the beginning
<07225>

of the reign
<04467>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>_,

[and] in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_,

[that] Hananiah
<02608>

the son
<01121>

of Azur
<05809>

the prophet
<05030>_,

which [was] of Gibeon
<01391>_,

spake
<0559> (8804)

unto me in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in the presence
<05869>

of the priests
<03548>

and of all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

28:2

Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I have broken
<07665> (8804)

the yoke
<05923>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

28:3

Within two full
<03117>

years
<08141>

will I bring again
<07725> (8688)

into this place
<04725>

all the vessels
<03627>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

that Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

took away
<03947> (8804)

from this place
<04725>_,

and carried
<0935> (8686)

them to Babylon
<0894>_:

{two...: Heb. two years of days}

28:4

And I will bring again
<07725> (8688)

to this place
<04725>

Jeconiah
<03204>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

with all the captives
<01546>

of Judah
<03063>_,

that went
<0935> (8802)

into Babylon
<0894>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

for I will break
<07665> (8799)

the yoke
<05923>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

{captives: Heb. captivity}

28:5

Then the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the prophet
<05030>

Hananiah
<02608>

in the presence
<05869>

of the priests
<03548>_,

and in the presence
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>

that stood
<05975> (8802)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

28:6

Even the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_:

the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

so: the LORD
<03068>

perform
<06965> (8686)

thy words
<01697>

which thou hast prophesied
<05012> (8738)_,

to bring again
<07725> (8687)

the vessels
<03627>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and all that is carried away captive
<01473>_,

from Babylon
<0894>

into this place
<04725>_.

28:7

Nevertheless hear
<08085> (8798)

thou now this word
<01697>

that I speak
<01696> (8802)

in thine ears
<0241>_,

and in the ears
<0241>

of all the people
<05971>_;

28:8

The prophets
<05030>

that have been before
<06440>

me and before
<06440>

thee of old
<05769>

prophesied
<05012> (8735)

both against many
<07227>

countries
<0776>_,

and against great
<01419>

kingdoms
<04467>_,

of war
<04421>_,

and of evil
<07451>_,

and of pestilence
<01698>_.

28:9

The prophet
<05030>

which prophesieth
<05012> (8735)

of peace
<07965>_,

when the word
<01697>

of the prophet
<05030>

shall come to pass
<0935> (8800)_,

[then]
<0227>

shall the prophet
<05030>

be known
<03045> (8735)_,

that the LORD
<03068>

hath truly
<0571>

sent
<07971> (8804)

him.

28:10

Then Hananiah
<02608>

the prophet
<05030>

took
<03947> (8799)

the yoke
<04133>

from off the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah's
<03414>

neck
<06677>_,

and brake
<07665> (8799)

it.

28:11

And Hananiah
<02608>

spake
<0559> (8799)

in the presence
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Even so will I break
<07665> (8799)

the yoke
<05923>

of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

from the neck
<06677>

of all nations
<01471>

within the space of two full
<03117>

years
<08141>_.

And the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>

went
<03212> (8799)

his way
<01870>_.

28:12

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Jeremiah
<03414>

[the prophet], after
<0310>

that Hananiah
<02608>

the prophet
<05030>

had broken
<07665> (8800)

the yoke
<04133>

from off the neck
<06677>

of the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

28:13

Go
<01980> (8800)

and tell
<0559> (8804)

Hananiah
<02608>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Thou hast broken
<07665> (8804)

the yokes
<04133>

of wood
<06086>_;

but thou shalt make
<06213> (8804)

for them yokes
<04133>

of iron
<01270>_.

28:14

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I have put
<05414> (8804)

a yoke
<05923>

of iron
<01270>

upon the neck
<06677>

of all these nations
<01471>_,

that they may serve
<05647> (8800)

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_;

and they shall serve
<05647> (8804)

him: and I have given
<05414> (8804)

him the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

also.

28:15

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the prophet
<05030>

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto Hananiah
<02608>

the prophet
<05030>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, Hananiah
<02608>_;

The LORD
<03068>

hath not sent
<07971> (8804)

thee; but thou makest this people
<05971>

to trust
<0982> (8689)

in a lie
<08267>_.

28:16

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will cast
<07971> (8764)

thee from off the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_:

this year
<08141>

thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,

because thou hast taught
<01696> (8765)

rebellion
<05627>

against the LORD
<03068>_.

{rebellion: Heb. revolt}

28:17

So Hananiah
<02608>

the prophet
<05030>

died
<04191> (8799)

the same year
<08141>

in the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_.

Jeremiah 34:2-22

34:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Go
<01980> (8800)

and speak
<0559> (8804)

to Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and tell
<0559> (8804)

him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)

this city
<05892>

into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_:

34:3

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

of his hand
<03027>_,

but shalt surely
<08610> (8800)

be taken
<08610> (8735)_,

and delivered
<05414> (8735)

into his hand
<03027>_;

and thine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

the eyes
<05869>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and he shall speak
<01696> (8762)

with thee mouth
<06310>

to mouth
<06310>_,

and thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)

to Babylon
<0894>_.

{he shall...: Heb. his mouth shall speak to thy mouth}

34:4

Yet hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

O Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_;

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of thee, Thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_:

34:5

[But] thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_:

and with the burnings
<04955>

of thy fathers
<01>_,

the former
<07223>

kings
<04428>

which were before
<06440>

thee, so shall they burn
<08313> (8799)

[odours] for thee; and they will lament
<05594> (8799)

thee, [saying], Ah
<01945>

lord
<0113>_!

for I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)

the word
<01697>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

34:6

Then Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>

spake
<01696> (8762)

all these words
<01697>

unto Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

34:7

When the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

army
<02428>

fought
<03898> (8737)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and against all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

that were left
<03498> (8737)_,

against Lachish
<03923>_,

and against Azekah
<05825>_:

for these defenced
<04013>

cities
<05892>

remained
<07604> (8738)

of the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

34:8

[This is] the word
<01697>

that came unto Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

after
<0310>

that the king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>

had made
<03772> (8800)

a covenant
<01285>

with all the people
<05971>

which [were] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to proclaim
<07121> (8800)

liberty
<01865>

unto them;

34:9

That every man
<0376>

should let his manservant
<05650>_,

and every man
<0376>

his maidservant
<08198>_,

[being] an Hebrew
<05680>

or an Hebrewess
<05680>_,

go
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>_;

that none should serve
<05647> (8800)

himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew
<03064>

his brother
<0251>_.

34:10

Now when all the princes
<08269>_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

which had entered
<0935> (8804)

into the covenant
<01285>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

that every one
<0376>

should let his manservant
<05650>_,

and every one
<0376>

his maidservant
<08198>_,

go
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>_,

that none should serve
<05647> (8800)

themselves of them any more, then they obeyed
<08085> (8799)_,

and let [them] go
<07971> (8762)_.

34:11

But afterward
<0310>

they turned
<07725> (8799)_,

and caused the servants
<05650>

and the handmaids
<08198>_,

whom they had let go
<07971> (8765)

free
<02670>_,

to return
<07725> (8686)_,

and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799) (8675) <03533> (8686)

for servants
<05650>

and for handmaids
<08198>_.

34:12

Therefore the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

34:13

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with your fathers
<01>

in the day
<03117>

that I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

out of the house
<01004>

of bondmen
<05650>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

34:14

At the end
<07093>

of seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

let ye go
<07971> (8762)

every man
<0376>

his brother
<0251>

an Hebrew
<05680>_,

which hath been sold
<04376> (8735)

unto thee; and when he hath served
<05647> (8804)

thee six
<08337>

years
<08141>_,

thou shalt let him go
<07971> (8765)

free
<02670>

from thee: but your fathers
<01>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto me, neither inclined
<05186> (8689)

their ear
<0241>_.

{hath been...: or, hath sold himself}

34:15

And ye were now
<03117>

turned
<07725> (8799)_,

and had done
<06213> (8799)

right
<03477>

in my sight
<05869>_,

in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)

liberty
<01865>

every man
<0376>

to his neighbour
<07453>_;

and ye had made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

before
<06440>

me in the house
<01004>

which is called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_:

{now: Heb. to day} {which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called}

34:16

But ye turned
<07725> (8799)

and polluted
<02490> (8762)

my name
<08034>_,

and caused every man
<0376>

his servant
<05650>_,

and every man
<0376>

his handmaid
<08198>_,

whom ye had set
<07971> (8765)

at liberty
<02670>

at their pleasure
<05315>_,

to return
<07725> (8686)_,

and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799)_,

to be unto you for servants
<05650>

and for handmaids
<08198>_.

34:17

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Ye have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto me, in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)

liberty
<01865>_,

every one
<0376>

to his brother
<0251>_,

and every man
<0376>

to his neighbour
<07453>_:

behold, I proclaim
<07121> (8802)

a liberty
<01865>

for you, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

to the sword
<02719>_,

to the pestilence
<01698>_,

and to the famine
<07458>_;

and I will make
<05414> (8804)

you to be removed
<02189> (8675) <02113>

into all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{to be...: Heb. for a removing}

34:18

And I will give
<05414> (8804)

the men
<0582>

that have transgressed
<05674> (8802)

my covenant
<01285>_,

which have not performed
<06965> (8689)

the words
<01697>

of the covenant
<01285>

which they had made
<03772> (8804)

before
<06440>

me, when they cut
<03772> (8804)

the calf
<05695>

in twain
<08147>_,

and passed
<05674> (8799)

between the parts
<01335>

thereof,

34:19

The princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the princes
<08269>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

the eunuchs
<05631>_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and all the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_,

which passed
<05674> (8802)

between the parts
<01335>

of the calf
<05695>_;

34:20

I will even give
<05414> (8804)

them into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of them that seek
<01245> (8764)

their life
<05315>_:

and their dead bodies
<05038>

shall be for meat
<03978>

unto the fowls
<05775>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

and to the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_.

34:21

And Zedekiah
<06667>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and his princes
<08269>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

into the hand
<03027>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of them that seek
<01245> (8764)

their life
<05315>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

army
<02428>_,

which are gone up
<05927> (8802)

from you.

34:22

Behold, I will command
<06680> (8764)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and cause them to return
<07725> (8689)

to this city
<05892>_;

and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)

against it, and take
<03920> (8804)

it, and burn
<08313> (8804)

it with fire
<0784>_:

and I will make
<05414> (8799)

the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>

a desolation
<08077>

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.

Jeremiah 37:2-21

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>_.

Jeremiah 38:14-28

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)_.
