Jeremiah 29:20-32

29:20

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye therefore the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

all ye of the captivity
<01473>_,

whom I have sent
<07971> (8765)

from Jerusalem
<03389>

to Babylon
<0894>_:

29:21

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

of Ahab
<0256>

the son
<01121>

of Kolaiah
<06964>_,

and of Zedekiah
<06667>

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04641>_,

which prophesy
<05012> (8737)

a lie
<08267>

unto you in my name
<08034>_;

Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_;

and he shall slay
<05221> (8689)

them before your eyes
<05869>_;

29:22

And of them shall be taken up
<03947> (8795)

a curse
<07045>

by all the captivity
<01546>

of Judah
<03063>

which [are] in Babylon
<0894>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

make
<07760> (8799)

thee like Zedekiah
<06667>

and like Ahab
<0256>_,

whom the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

roasted
<07033> (8804)

in the fire
<0784>_;

29:23

Because they have committed
<06213> (8804)

villany
<05039>

in Israel
<03478>_,

and have committed
<06213> (8804)

adultery
<05003> (8762)

with their neighbours
<07453>_'

wives
<0802>_,

and have spoken
<01696> (8762)

lying
<08267>

words
<01697>

in my name
<08034>_,

which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)

them; even I know
<03045> (8802)_,

and [am] a witness
<05707>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

29:24

[Thus] shalt thou also speak
<0559> (8799)

to Shemaiah
<08098>

the Nehelamite
<05161>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{Nehelamite: or, dreamer}

29:25

Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Because thou hast sent
<07971> (8804)

letters
<05612>

in thy name
<08034>

unto all the people
<05971>

that [are] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to Zephaniah
<06846>

the son
<01121>

of Maaseiah
<04641>

the priest
<03548>_,

and to all the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

29:26

The LORD
<03068>

hath made
<05414> (8804)

thee priest
<03548>

in the stead of Jehoiada
<03077>

the priest
<03548>_,

that ye should be officers
<06496>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

for every man
<0376>

[that is] mad
<07696> (8794)_,

and maketh himself a prophet
<05012> (8693)_,

that thou shouldest put
<05414> (8804)

him in prison
<04115>_,

and in the stocks
<06729>_.

29:27

Now therefore why hast thou not reproved
<01605> (8804)

Jeremiah
<03414>

of Anathoth
<06069>_,

which maketh himself a prophet
<05012> (8693)

to you?

29:28

For therefore he sent
<07971> (8804)

unto us [in] Babylon
<0894>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This
<01931>

[captivity is] long
<0752>_:

build
<01129> (8798)

ye houses
<01004>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8798)

[in them]; and plant
<05193> (8798)

gardens
<01593>_,

and eat
<0398> (8798)

the fruit
<06529>

of them.

29:29

And Zephaniah
<06846>

the priest
<03548>

read
<07121> (8799)

this letter
<05612>

in the ears
<0241>

of Jeremiah
<03414>

the prophet
<05030>_.

29:30

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

29:31

Send
<07971> (8798)

to all them of the captivity
<01473>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning Shemaiah
<08098>

the Nehelamite
<05161>_;

Because that Shemaiah
<08098>

hath prophesied
<05012> (8738)

unto you, and I sent
<07971> (8804)

him not, and he caused you to trust
<0982> (8686)

in a lie
<08267>_:

29:32

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)

Shemaiah
<08098>

the Nehelamite
<05161>_,

and his seed
<02233>_:

he shall not have a man
<0376>

to dwell
<03427> (8802)

among
<08432>

this people
<05971>_;

neither shall he behold
<07200> (8799)

the good
<02896>

that I will do
<06213> (8802)

for my people
<05971>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

because he hath taught
<01696> (8765)

rebellion
<05627>

against the LORD
<03068>_.

{rebellion: Heb. revolt}
