34:1

The word
<01697>

which came unto Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

when Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and all his army
<02428>_,

and all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the earth
<0776>

of his dominion
<03027> <04475>_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

fought
<03898> (8737)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and against all the cities
<05892>

thereof, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{of his...: Heb. the dominion of his hand}

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)_,
