Jeremiah 34:1--45:5

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}
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>_:
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}
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>_:
[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>_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
spake
<01696> (8762)
all these words
<01697>
unto Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
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>_.
[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;
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
Therefore the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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)_,
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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,
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>_;
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>_.
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.
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)_.
The word
<01697>
which came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>
in the days
<03117>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)
unto the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto them, and bring
<0935> (8689)
them into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
into one
<0259>
of the chambers
<03957>_,
and give them wine
<03196>
to drink
<08248> (8689)_.
Then I took
<03947> (8799)
Jaazaniah
<02970>
the son
<01121>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
the son
<01121>
of Habaziniah
<02262>_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and all his sons
<01121>_,
and the whole house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_;
And I brought
<0935> (8686)
them into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
into the chamber
<03957>
of the sons
<01121>
of Hanan
<02605>_,
the son
<01121>
of Igdaliah
<03012>_,
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
which [was] by
<0681>
the chamber
<03957>
of the princes
<08269>_,
which [was] above
<04605>
the chamber
<03957>
of Maaseiah
<04641>
the son
<01121>
of Shallum
<07967>_,
the keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>_:
{door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel}
And I set
<05414> (8799)
before
<06440>
the sons
<01121>
of the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>
pots
<01375>
full
<04392>
of wine
<03196>_,
and cups
<03563>_,
and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Drink
<08354> (8798)
ye wine
<03196>_.
But they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will drink
<08354> (8799)
no wine
<03196>_:
for Jonadab
<03122>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
our father
<01>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall drink
<08354> (8799)
no wine
<03196>_,
[neither ye], nor your sons
<01121>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
Neither shall ye build
<01129> (8799)
house
<01004>_,
nor sow
<02232> (8799)
seed
<02233>_,
nor plant
<05193> (8799)
vineyard
<03754>_,
nor have [any]: but all your days
<03117>
ye shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
in tents
<0168>_;
that ye may live
<02421> (8799)
many
<07227>
days
<03117>
in
<06440>
the land
<0127>
where ye [be] strangers
<01481> (8802)_.
Thus have we obeyed
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
our father
<01>
in all that he hath charged
<06680> (8765)
us, to drink
<08354> (8800)
no wine
<03196>
all our days
<03117>_,
we, our wives
<0802>_,
our sons
<01121>_,
nor our daughters
<01323>_;
Nor to build
<01129> (8800)
houses
<01004>
for us to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:
neither have we vineyard
<03754>_,
nor field
<07704>_,
nor seed
<02233>_:
But we have dwelt in
<03427> (8799)
tents
<0168>_,
and have obeyed
<08085> (8799)_,
and done
<06213> (8799)
according to all that Jonadab
<03122>
our father
<01>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
us.
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came up
<05927> (8800)
into the land
<0776>_,
that we said
<0559> (8799)_,
Come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us go
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
for fear
<06440>
of the army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and for fear
<06440>
of the army
<02428>
of the Syrians
<0758>_:
so we dwell
<03427> (8799)
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Go
<01980> (8800)
and tell
<0559> (8804)
the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Will ye not receive
<03947> (8799)
instruction
<04148>
to hearken
<08085> (8800)
to my words
<01697>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The words
<01697>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>_,
that he commanded
<06680> (8765)
his sons
<01121>
not to drink
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_,
are performed
<06965> (8717)_;
for unto this day
<03117>
they drink
<08354> (8804)
none, but obey
<08085> (8804)
their father's
<01>
commandment
<04687>_:
notwithstanding I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto you, rising early
<07925> (8687)
and speaking
<01696> (8763)_;
but ye hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto me.
I have sent
<07971> (8799)
also unto you all my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
rising up early
<07925> (8687)
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them], saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Return
<07725> (8798)
ye now every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
and amend
<03190> (8685)
your doings
<04611>_,
and go
<03212> (8799)
not after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
them, and ye shall dwell in
<03427> (8798)
the land
<0127>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
to you and to your fathers
<01>_:
but ye have not inclined
<05186> (8689)
your ear
<0241>_,
nor hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me.
Because the sons
<01121>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
have performed
<06965> (8689)
the commandment
<04687>
of their father
<01>_,
which he commanded
<06680> (8765)
them; but this people
<05971>
hath not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon Judah
<03063>
and upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
all the evil
<07451>
that I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against them: because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto them, but they have not heard
<08085> (8804)_;
and I have called
<07121> (8799)
unto them, but they have not answered
<06030> (8804)_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Because ye have obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the commandment
<04687>
of Jonadab
<03082>
your father
<01>_,
and kept
<08104> (8799)
all his precepts
<04687>_,
and done
<06213> (8799)
according unto all that he hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
you:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Jonadab
<03122>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
shall not want
<03772> (8735)
a man
<0376>
to stand
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
me for ever
<03117>_.
{Jonadab...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off from Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand, etc}
And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[that] this word
<01697>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_,
and write
<03789> (8804)
therein all the words
<01697>
that I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thee against Israel
<03478>_,
and against Judah
<03063>_,
and against all the nations
<01471>_,
from the day
<03117>
I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto thee, from the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>_,
even unto this day
<03117>_.
It may be that the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
will hear
<08085> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
which I purpose
<02803> (8802)
to do
<06213> (8800)
unto them; that they may return
<07725> (8799)
every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_;
that I may forgive
<05545> (8804)
their iniquity
<05771>
and their sin
<02403>_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
called
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_:
and Baruch
<01263>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
from the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto him, upon a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I [am] shut up
<06113> (8803)_;
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Therefore go
<0935> (8804)
thou, and read
<07121> (8804)
in the roll
<04039>_,
which thou hast written
<03789> (8804)
from my mouth
<06310>_,
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
upon the fasting
<06685>
day
<03117>_:
and also thou shalt read
<07121> (8799)
them in the ears
<0241>
of all Judah
<03063>
that come out
<0935> (8802)
of their cities
<05892>_.
It may be they will present
<05307> (8799)
their supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and will return
<07725> (8799)
every one
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the anger
<0639>
and the fury
<02534>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against this people
<05971>_.
{they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to all that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him, reading
<07121> (8800)
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
And it came to pass in the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_,
[that] they proclaimed
<07121> (8804)
a fast
<06685>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
to all the people
<05971>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
that came
<0935> (8802)
from the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then read
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in the chamber
<03957>
of Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
in the higher
<05945>
court
<02691>_,
at the entry
<06607>
of the new
<02319>
gate
<08179>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
in the ears
<0241>
of all the people
<05971>_.
{entry: or, door}
When Michaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Gemariah
<01587>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
had heard
<08085> (8799)
out of the book
<05612>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Then he went down
<03381> (8799)
into the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
into the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_:
and, lo, all the princes
<08269>
sat
<03427> (8802)
there, [even] Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Delaiah
<01806>
the son
<01121>
of Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Elnathan
<0494>
the son
<01121>
of Achbor
<05907>_,
and Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Hananiah
<02608>_,
and all the princes
<08269>_.
Then Michaiah
<04321>
declared
<05046> (8686)
unto them all the words
<01697>
that he had heard
<08085> (8804)_,
when Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8800)
the book
<05612>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_.
Therefore all the princes
<08269>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
the son
<01121>
of Cushi
<03570>_,
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
in thine hand
<03027>
the roll
<04039>
wherein thou hast read
<07121> (8804)
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_,
and come
<03212> (8798)_.
So Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
took
<03947> (8799)
the roll
<04039>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto them.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Sit down
<03427> (8798)
now, and read
<07121> (8798)
it in our ears
<0241>_.
So Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8799)
[it] in their ears
<0241>_.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
all the words
<01697>_,
they were afraid
<06342> (8804)
both
<0413>
one
<0376>
and other
<07453>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
We will surely
<05046> (8687)
tell
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of all these words
<01697>_.
And they asked
<07592> (8804)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
us now, How didst thou write
<03789> (8804)
all these words
<01697>
at his mouth
<06310>_?
Then Baruch
<01263>
answered
<0559> (8799)
them, He pronounced
<07121> (8799)
all these words
<01697>
unto me with his mouth
<06310>_,
and I wrote
<03789> (8802)
[them] with ink
<01773>
in the book
<05612>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the princes
<08269>
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
hide
<05641> (8734)
thee, thou and Jeremiah
<03414>_;
and let no man
<0376>
know
<03045> (8799)
where
<0375>
ye be.
And they went in
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
into the court
<02691>_,
but they laid up
<06485> (8689)
the roll
<04039>
in the chamber
<03957>
of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
all the words
<01697>
in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_.
So the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
and he took
<03947> (8799)
it out of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_.
And Jehudi
<03065>
read
<07121> (8799)
it in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_,
and in the ears
<0241>
of all the princes
<08269>
which stood
<05975> (8802)
beside
<05921>
the king
<04428>_.
Now the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the winterhouse
<01004> <02779>
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_:
and [there was a fire] on the hearth
<0254>
burning
<01197> (8794)
before
<06440>
him.
And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi
<03065>
had read
<07121> (8800)
three
<07969>
or four
<0702>
leaves
<01817>_,
he cut
<07167> (8799)
it with the penknife
<08593> <05608> (8802)_,
and cast
<07993> (8687)
[it] into the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_,
until all the roll
<04039>
was consumed
<08552> (8800)
in the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_.
Yet they were not afraid
<06342> (8804)_,
nor rent
<07167> (8804)
their garments
<0899>_,
[neither] the king
<04428>_,
nor any of his servants
<05650>
that heard
<08085> (8802)
all these words
<01697>_.
Nevertheless Elnathan
<0494>
and Delaiah
<01806>
and Gemariah
<01587>
had made intercession
<06293> (8689)
to the king
<04428>
that he would not burn
<08313> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
but he would not hear
<08085> (8804)
them.
But the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Jerahmeel
<03396>
the son
<01121>
of Hammelech
<04429>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Azriel
<05837>_,
and Shelemiah
<08018>
the son
<01121>
of Abdeel
<05655>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
Baruch
<01263>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
hid
<05641> (8686)
them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Then the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>_,
after
<0310>
that the king
<04428>
had burned
<08313> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_,
and the words
<01697>
which Baruch
<01263>
wrote
<03789> (8804)
at the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee again
<07725> (8798)
another
<0312>
roll
<04039>_,
and write
<03789> (8798)
in it all the former
<07223>
words
<01697>
that were in the first
<07223>
roll
<04039>_,
which Jehoiakim
<03079>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
hath burned
<08313> (8804)_.
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)
to Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Thou hast burned
<08313> (8804)
this roll
<04039>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Why hast thou written
<03789> (8804)
therein, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall certainly
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)
and destroy
<07843> (8689)
this land
<0776>_,
and shall cause to cease
<07673> (8689)
from thence man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_?
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_;
He shall have none to sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>_:
and his dead body
<05038>
shall be cast out
<07993> (8716)
in the day
<03117>
to the heat
<02721>_,
and in the night
<03915>
to the frost
<07140>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
him and his seed
<02233>
and his servants
<05650>
for their iniquity
<05771>_;
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
upon them, and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and upon the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
all the evil
<07451>
that I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against them; but they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Then took
<03947> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
another
<0312>
roll
<04039>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
it to Baruch
<01263>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_;
who wrote
<03789> (8799)
therein from the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
which Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had burned
<08313> (8804)
in the fire
<0784>_:
and there were added
<03254> (8738)
besides unto them many
<07227>
like
<01992>
words
<01697>_.
{like: Heb. as they}
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_?
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>_?
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}
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>_.
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)_,
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)_.
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.
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}
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.
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}
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>_;
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)_,
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}
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}
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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}
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?
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>_.
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>_:
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>_.
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.
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)_.
But if thou refuse
<03986>
to go forth
<03318> (8800)_,
this [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath shewed
<07200> (8689)
me:
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}
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}
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)_.
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:
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.
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}
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)_.
In the ninth
<08671>
year
<08141>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
and all his army
<02428>
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and they besieged
<06696> (8799)
it.
[And] in the eleventh
<06249> <06240>
year
<08141>
of Zedekiah
<06667>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
month
<02320>_,
the ninth
<08672>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the city
<05892>
was broken up
<01234> (8717)_.
And all the princes
<08269>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came in
<0935> (8799)_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
in the middle
<08432>
gate
<08179>_,
[even] Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Samgarnebo
<05562>_,
Sarsechim
<08310>_,
Rabsaris
<07249>_,
Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Rabmag
<07248>_,
with all the residue
<07611>
of the princes
<08269>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8804)
them, and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
then they fled
<01272> (8799)_,
and went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the city
<05892>
by night
<03915>_,
by the way
<01870>
of the king's
<04428>
garden
<01588>_,
by the gate
<08179>
betwixt the two walls
<02346>_:
and he went out
<03318> (8799)
the way
<01870>
of the plain
<06160>_.
But the Chaldeans
<03778>_'
army
<02428>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
them, and overtook
<05381> (8686)
Zedekiah
<06667>
in the plains
<06160>
of Jericho
<03405>_:
and when they had taken
<03947> (8799)
him, they brought him up
<05927> (8686)
to Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>
in the land
<0776>
of Hamath
<02574>_,
where he gave
<01696> (8762)
judgment
<04941>
upon him. {gave...: Heb. spake with him judgments}
Then the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
slew
<07819> (8799)
the sons
<01121>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
in Riblah
<07247>
before his eyes
<05869>_:
also the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
slew
<07819> (8804)
all the nobles
<02715>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Moreover he put out
<05786> (8765)
Zedekiah's
<06667>
eyes
<05869>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him with chains
<05178>_,
to carry
<0935> (8687)
him to Babylon
<0894>_.
{with...: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
And the Chaldeans
<03778>
burned
<08313> (8804)
the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and the houses
<01004>
of the people
<05971>_,
with fire
<0784>_,
and brake down
<05422> (8804)
the walls
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
carried away captive
<01540> (8689)
into Babylon
<0894>
the remnant
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)
in the city
<05892>_,
and those that fell away
<05307> (8802)_,
that fell
<05307> (8804)
to him, with the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)_.
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
But Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
left
<07604> (8689)
of the poor
<01800>
of the people
<05971>_,
which had nothing
<03972>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them vineyards
<03754>
and fields
<03010>
at the same time
<03117>_.
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {at the...: Heb. in that day}
Now Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
gave charge
<06680> (8762)
concerning Jeremiah
<03414>
to
<03027>
Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{to: Heb. by the hand of} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
Take
<03947> (8798)
him, and look well
<05869> <07760> (8798)
to him, and do
<06213> (8799)
him no harm
<03972> <07451>_;
but do
<06213> (8798)
unto him even as he shall say
<01696> (8762)
unto thee. {look...: Heb. set thine eyes upon him}
So Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and Nebushasban
<05021>_,
Rabsaris
<07249>_,
and Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Rabmag
<07248>_,
and all the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
princes
<07227>_;
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
Even they sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
out of the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
and committed
<05414> (8799)
him unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
that he should carry
<03318> (8687)
him home
<01004>_:
so he dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_.
Now the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
while he was shut up
<06113> (8803)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)
and speak
<0559> (8804)
to Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
my words
<01697>
upon this city
<05892>
for evil
<07451>_,
and not for good
<02896>_;
and they shall be [accomplished] in that day
<03117>
before
<06440>
thee.
But I will deliver
<05337> (8689)
thee in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
and thou shalt not be given
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the men
<0582>
of whom
<06440>
thou [art] afraid
<03016> (8801)_.
For I will surely
<04422> (8763)
deliver
<04422> (8762)
thee, and thou shalt not fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
but thy life
<05315>
shall be for a prey
<07998>
unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust
<0982> (8804)
in me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
after
<0310>
that Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had let him go
<07971> (8763)
from Ramah
<07414>_,
when he had taken
<03947> (8800)
him being bound
<0631> (8803)
in chains
<0246>
among
<08432>
all that were carried away captive
<01546>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
which were carried away captive
<01540> (8716)
unto Babylon
<0894>_.
{chains: or, manicles}
And the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
this evil
<07451>
upon this place
<04725>_.
Now the LORD
<03068>
hath brought
<0935> (8686)
[it], and done
<06213> (8799)
according as he hath said
<01696> (8765)_:
because ye have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
his voice
<06963>_,
therefore this thing
<01697>
is come upon you.
And now, behold, I loose
<06605> (8765)
thee this day
<03117>
from the chains
<0246>
which [were] upon thine hand
<03027>_.
If it seem good
<02896> <05869>
unto thee to come
<0935> (8800)
with me into Babylon
<0894>_,
come
<0935> (8798)_;
and I will look well
<07760> (8799) <05869>
unto thee: but if it seem ill
<07489> (8804) <05869>
unto thee to come
<0935> (8800)
with me into Babylon
<0894>_,
forbear
<02308> (8798)_:
behold
<07200> (8798)_,
all the land
<0776>
[is] before
<06440>
thee: whither it seemeth
<0413>
good
<02896>
and convenient
<03477> <05869>
for thee to go
<03212> (8800)_,
thither go
<03212> (8798)_.
{were...: or, are upon thine hand} {I will...: Heb. I will set mine eye upon thee}
Now while he was not yet gone back
<07725> (8799)_,
[he said], Go back
<07725> (8798)
also to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath made governor
<06485> (8689)
over the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
with him among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_:
or go
<03212> (8798)
wheresoever it seemeth convenient
<03477> <05869>
unto thee to go
<03212> (8800)_.
So the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
gave
<05414> (8799)
him victuals
<0737>
and a reward
<04864>_,
and let him go
<07971> (8762)_.
Then went
<0935> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
to Mizpah
<04708>_;
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
with him among
<08432>
the people
<05971>
that were left
<07604> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_.
Now when all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
which [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
[even] they and their men
<0582>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had made Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
governor
<06485> (8689)
in the land
<0776>_,
and had committed
<06485> (8689)
unto him men
<0582>_,
and women
<0802>_,
and children
<02945>_,
and of the poor
<01803>
of the land
<0776>_,
of them that were not carried away captive
<01540> (8717)
to Babylon
<0894>_;
Then they came
<0935> (8799)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
to Mizpah
<04708>_,
even Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
and Jonathan
<03129>
the sons
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Tanhumeth
<08576>_,
and the sons
<01121>
of Ephai
<05778>
the Netophathite
<05200>_,
and Jezaniah
<03153>
the son
<01121>
of a Maachathite
<04602>_,
they and their men
<0582>_.
And Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
sware
<07650> (8735)
unto them and to their men
<0582>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not to serve
<05647> (8800)
the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
dwell in
<03427> (8798)
the land
<0776>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
with you.
As for me, behold, I will dwell
<03427> (8802)
at Mizpah
<04709>
to serve
<05975> (8800) <06440>
the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
which will come
<0935> (8799)
unto us: but ye, gather
<0622> (8798)
ye wine
<03196>_,
and summer fruits
<07019>_,
and oil
<08081>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
[them] in your vessels
<03627>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
in your cities
<05892>
that ye have taken
<08610> (8804)_.
{to serve: Heb. to stand before}
Likewise when all the Jews
<03064>
that [were] in Moab
<04124>_,
and among the Ammonites
<05983>_,
and in Edom
<0123>_,
and that [were] in all the countries
<0776>_,
heard
<08085> (8804)
that the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had left
<05414> (8804)
a remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and that he had set
<06485> (8689)
over them Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_;
Even all the Jews
<03064>
returned out
<07725> (8799)
of all places
<04725>
whither they were driven
<05080> (8738)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to Gedaliah
<01436>_,
unto Mizpah
<04708>_,
and gathered
<0622> (8799)
wine
<03196>
and summer fruits
<07019>
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_.
Moreover Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
to Mizpah
<04708>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Dost thou certainly
<03045> (8800)
know
<03045> (8799)
that Baalis
<01185>
the king
<04428>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
to slay
<05221> (8687) <05315>
thee? But Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
believed
<0539> (8689)
them not. {to slay...: Heb. to strike thee in soul?}
Then Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>
spake
<0559> (8804)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
in Mizpah
<04709>
secretly
<05643>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let me go
<03212> (8799)_,
I pray thee, and I will slay
<05221> (8686)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and no man
<0376>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
[it]: wherefore should he slay
<05221> (8686) <05315>
thee, that all the Jews
<03064>
which are gathered
<06908> (8737)
unto thee should be scattered
<06327> (8738)_,
and the remnant
<07611>
in Judah
<03063>
perish
<06> (8804)_?
But Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
Thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>_:
for thou speakest
<01696> (8802)
falsely
<08267>
of Ishmael
<03458>_.
Now it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_,
[that] Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
the son
<01121>
of Elishama
<0476>_,
of the seed
<02233>
royal
<04410>_,
and the princes
<07227>
of the king
<04428>_,
even ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
with him, came
<0935> (8804)
unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
to Mizpah
<04709>_;
and there they did eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>
together
<03162>
in Mizpah
<04708>_.
Then arose
<06965> (8799)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and the ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
that were with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
with the sword
<02719>_,
and slew
<04191> (8686)
him, whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had made governor
<06485> (8689)
over the land
<0776>_.
Ishmael
<03458>
also slew
<05221> (8689)
all the Jews
<03064>
that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah
<01436>_,
at Mizpah
<04709>_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>
that were found
<04672> (8738)
there, [and] the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_.
And it came to pass the second
<08145>
day
<03117>
after he had slain
<04191> (8687)
Gedaliah
<01436>_,
and no man
<0376>
knew
<03045> (8804)
[it],
That there came
<0935> (8799)
certain
<0582>
from Shechem
<07927>_,
from Shiloh
<07887>_,
and from Samaria
<08111>_,
[even] fourscore
<08084>
men
<0376>_,
having their beards
<02206>
shaven
<01548> (8794)_,
and their clothes
<0899>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and having cut
<01413> (8706)
themselves, with offerings
<04503>
and incense
<03828>
in their hand
<03027>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
[them] to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
from Mizpah
<04709>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them, weeping
<01058> (8802)
all along
<01980> (8800)
as he went
<01980> (8802)_:
and it came to pass, as he met
<06298> (8800)
them, he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Come
<0935> (8798)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_.
{weeping...: Heb. in going and weeping}
And it was [so], when they came
<0935> (8800)
into the midst
<08432>
of the city
<05892>_,
that Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
slew
<07819> (8799)
them, [and cast them] into the midst
<08432>
of the pit
<0953>_,
he, and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him.
But ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
were found
<04672> (8738)
among them that said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ishmael
<03458>_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
us not: for we have
<03426>
treasures
<04301>
in the field
<07704>_,
of wheat
<02406>_,
and of barley
<08184>_,
and of oil
<08081>_,
and of honey
<01706>_.
So he forbare
<02308> (8799)_,
and slew
<04191> (8689)
them not among
<08432>
their brethren
<0251>_.
Now the pit
<0953>
wherein Ishmael
<03458>
had cast
<07993> (8689)
all the dead bodies
<06297>
of the men
<0582>_,
whom he had slain
<05221> (8689)
because
<03027>
of Gedaliah
<01436>_,
[was] it which Asa
<0609>
the king
<04428>
had made
<06213> (8804)
for fear
<06440>
of Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_:
[and] Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
filled
<04390> (8765)
it with [them that were] slain
<02491>_.
{because...: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}
Then Ishmael
<03458>
carried away captive
<07617> (8799)
all the residue
<07611>
of the people
<05971>
that [were] in Mizpah
<04709>_,
[even] the king's
<04428>
daughters
<01323>_,
and all the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)
in Mizpah
<04709>_,
whom Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had committed
<06485> (8689)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_:
and Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
carried them away captive
<07617> (8799)_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
to go over
<05674> (8800)
to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.
But when Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, heard
<08085> (8799)
of all the evil
<07451>
that Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
had done
<06213> (8804)_,
Then they took
<03947> (8799)
all the men
<0582>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
him by the great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
that [are] in Gibeon
<01391>_.
Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people
<05971>
which [were] with Ishmael
<03458>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, then they were glad
<08055> (8799)_.
So all the people
<05971>
that Ishmael
<03458>
had carried away captive
<07617> (8804)
from Mizpah
<04709>
cast about
<05437> (8799)
and returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
unto Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_.
But Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
escaped
<04422> (8738)
from
<06440>
Johanan
<03110>
with eight
<08083>
men
<0582>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.
Then took
<03947> (8799)
Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, all the remnant
<07611>
of the people
<05971>
whom he had recovered
<07725> (8689)
from Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
from Mizpah
<04709>_,
after
<0310>
[that] he had slain
<05221> (8689)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_,
[even] mighty
<01397>
men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and the women
<0802>_,
and the children
<02945>_,
and the eunuchs
<05631>_,
whom he had brought again
<07725> (8689)
from Gibeon
<01391>_:
And they departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and dwelt in
<03427> (8799)
the habitation
<01628>
of Chimham
<03643>_,
which is by
<0681>
Bethlehem
<01035>_,
to go
<03212> (8800)
to enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
Because
<06440>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for they were afraid
<03372> (8804)
of them, because Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
had slain
<05221> (8689)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
made governor
<06485> (8689)
in the land
<0776>_.
Then all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and Jezaniah
<03153>
the son
<01121>
of Hoshaiah
<01955>_,
and all the people
<05971>
from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>_,
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
Let, we beseech thee, our supplication
<08467>
be accepted
<05307> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee, and pray
<06419> (8690)
for us unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
[even] for all this remnant
<07611>_;
(for we are left
<07604> (8738)
[but] a few
<04592>
of many
<07235> (8687)_,
as thine eyes
<05869>
do behold
<07200> (8802)
us:) {Let...: or, Let our supplication fall before thee}
That the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
may shew
<05046> (8686)
us the way
<01870>
wherein we may walk
<03212> (8799)_,
and the thing
<01697>
that we may do
<06213> (8799)_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
[you]; behold, I will pray
<06419> (8693)
unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
according to your words
<01697>_;
and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing
<01697>
the LORD
<03068>
shall answer
<06030> (8799)
you, I will declare
<05046> (8686)
[it] unto you; I will keep
<04513> (0)
nothing
<01697>
back
<04513> (8799)
from you.
Then they said
<0559> (8804)
to Jeremiah
<03414>_,
The LORD
<03068>
be a true
<0571>
and faithful
<0539> (8737)
witness
<05707>
between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)
not even according to all things
<01697>
for the which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall send
<07971> (8799)
thee to us.
Whether [it be] good
<02896>_,
or whether [it be] evil
<07451>_,
we will obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
to whom we
<0580>
send
<07971> (8802)
thee; that it may be well
<03190> (8799)
with us, when we obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
And it came to pass after
<07093>
ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_.
Then called
<07121> (8799)
he Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
which [were] with him, and all the people
<05971>
from the least
<06996>
even to the greatest
<01419>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto whom ye sent
<07971> (8804)
me to present
<05307> (8687)
your supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
him;
If ye will still
<07725> (8800)
abide
<03427> (8799)
in this land
<0776>_,
then will I build
<01129> (8804)
you, and not pull [you] down
<02040> (8799)_,
and I will plant
<05193> (8804)
you, and not pluck [you] up
<05428> (8799)_:
for I repent
<05162> (8738)
me of the evil
<07451>
that I have done
<06213> (8804)
unto you.
Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
of whom
<06440>
ye are afraid
<03373>_;
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of him, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I [am] with you to save
<03467> (8687)
you, and to deliver
<05337> (8687)
you from his hand
<03027>_.
And I will shew
<05414> (8799)
mercies
<07356>
unto you, that he may have mercy
<07355> (8765)
upon you, and cause you to return
<07725> (8689)
to your own land
<0127>_.
But if ye say
<0559> (8802)_,
We will not dwell
<03427> (8799)
in this land
<0776>_,
neither obey
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
Saying
<0559> (8800)_,
No; but we will go
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
where we shall see
<07200> (8799)
no war
<04421>_,
nor hear
<08085> (8799)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
nor have hunger
<07456> (8799)
of bread
<03899>_;
and there will we dwell
<03427> (8799)_:
And now therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
If ye wholly
<07760> (8800)
set
<07760> (8799)
your faces
<06440>
to enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and go
<0935> (8804)
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there;
Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword
<02719>_,
which ye feared
<03373>_,
shall overtake
<05381> (8686)
you there in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and the famine
<07458>_,
whereof ye were afraid
<01672> (8802)_,
shall follow close
<01692> (8799)
after
<0310>
you there in Egypt
<04714>_;
and there ye shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
{shall follow...: Heb. shall cleave after you}
So shall it be with all the men
<0582>
that set
<07760> (8804)
their faces
<06440>
to go
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there; they shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
and none of them shall remain
<08300>
or escape
<06412>
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon them. {So...: Heb. So shall all the men be}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
As mine anger
<0639>
and my fury
<02534>
hath been poured forth
<05413> (8738)
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
so shall my fury
<02534>
be poured forth
<05413> (8799)
upon you, when ye shall enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_:
and ye shall be an execration
<0423>_,
and an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
and a reproach
<02781>_;
and ye shall see
<07200> (8799)
this place
<04725>
no more.
The LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
concerning you, O ye remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_;
Go
<0935> (8799)
ye not into Egypt
<04714>_:
know
<03045> (8799)
certainly
<03045> (8800)
that I have admonished
<05749> (8689)
you this day
<03117>_.
{admonished...: Heb. testified against you}
For ye dissembled
<08582> (8689)
in your hearts
<05315>_,
when ye sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Pray
<06419> (8690)
for us unto the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_;
and according unto all that the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
so declare
<05046> (8685)
unto us, and we will do
<06213> (8804)
[it]. {ye dissembled...: or, ye have used deceit against your souls}
And [now] I have this day
<03117>
declared
<05046> (8686)
[it] to you; but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
nor any [thing] for the which he hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto you.
Now therefore know
<03045> (8799)
certainly
<03045> (8800)
that ye shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_,
in the place
<04725>
whither ye desire
<02654> (8804)
to go
<0935> (8800)
[and] to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.
{to go...: or, to go to sojourn}
And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah
<03414>
had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)
unto all the people
<05971>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
for which the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
had sent
<07971> (8804)
him to them, [even] all these words
<01697>_,
Then spake
<0559> (8799)
Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Hoshaiah
<01955>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the proud
<02086>
men
<0582>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
Thou speakest
<01696> (8764)
falsely
<08267>_:
the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
thee to say
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<0935> (8799)
not into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there:
But Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
setteth thee on
<05496> (8688)
against us, for to
<04616>
deliver
<05414> (8800)
us into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
that they might put us to death
<04191> (8687)_,
and carry us away captives
<01540> (8687)
into Babylon
<0894>_.
So Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_.
But Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
all the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that were returned
<07725> (8804)
from all nations
<01471>_,
whither they had been driven
<05080> (8738)_,
to dwell
<01481> (8800)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_;
[Even] men
<01397>_,
and women
<0802>_,
and children
<02945>_,
and the king's
<04428>
daughters
<01323>_,
and every person
<05315>
that Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had left
<03240> (8689)
with Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
and Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_.
So they came
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for they obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
thus came
<0935> (8799)
they [even] to Tahpanhes
<08471>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>
in Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>
in thine hand
<03027>_,
and hide
<02934> (8804)
them in the clay
<04423>
in the brickkiln
<04404>_,
which [is] at the entry
<06607>
of Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>
in Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
in the sight
<05869>
of the men
<0582>
of Judah
<03064>_;
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will send
<07971> (8802)
and take
<03947> (8804)
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
my servant
<05650>_,
and will set
<07760> (8804)
his throne
<03678>
upon
<04605>
these stones
<068>
that I have hid
<02934> (8804)_;
and he shall spread
<05186> (8804)
his royal pavilion
<08237>
over them.
And when he cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
he shall smite
<05221> (8689)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
[and deliver] such [as are] for death
<04194>
to death
<04194>_;
and such [as are] for captivity
<07628>
to captivity
<07628>_;
and such [as are] for the sword
<02719>
to the sword
<02719>_.
And I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the houses
<01004>
of the gods
<0430>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)
them, and carry them away captives
<07617> (8804)_:
and he shall array
<05844> (8804)
himself with the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as a shepherd
<07462> (8802)
putteth on
<05844> (8799)
his garment
<0899>_;
and he shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
from thence in peace
<07965>_.
He shall break
<07665> (8765)
also the images
<04676>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
that [is] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and the houses
<01004>
of the gods
<0430>
of the Egyptians
<04714>
shall he burn
<08313> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_.
{images: Heb. statues, or, standing images} {Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun}
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
concerning all the Jews
<03064>
which dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which dwell
<03427> (8802)
at Migdol
<04024>_,
and at Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
and at Noph
<05297>_,
and in the country
<0776>
of Pathros
<06624>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
all the evil
<07451>
that I have brought
<0935> (8689)
upon Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and upon all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_;
and, behold, this day
<03117>
they [are] a desolation
<02723>_,
and no man dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
therein,
Because
<06440>
of their wickedness
<07451>
which they have committed
<06213> (8804)
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_,
in that they went
<03212> (8800)
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)_,
[and] to serve
<05647> (8800)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
whom they knew
<03045> (8804)
not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers
<01>_.
Howbeit I sent
<07971> (8799)
unto you all my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
rising early
<07925> (8687)
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them], saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Oh, do
<06213> (8799)
not this abominable
<08441>
thing
<01697>
that I hate
<08130> (8804)_.
But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)
their ear
<0241>
to turn
<07725> (8800)
from their wickedness
<07451>_,
to burn no incense
<06999> (8763)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_.
Wherefore my fury
<02534>
and mine anger
<0639>
was poured forth
<05413> (8799)_,
and was kindled
<01197> (8799)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and they are wasted
<02723>
[and] desolate
<08077>_,
as at this day
<03117>_.
Therefore now thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Wherefore commit
<06213> (8802)
ye [this] great
<01419>
evil
<07451>
against your souls
<05315>_,
to cut off
<03772> (8687)
from you man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_,
child
<05768>
and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,
out
<08432>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to leave
<03498> (8687)
you none to remain
<07611>_;
{out...: Heb. out of the midst of Judah}
In that ye provoke me unto wrath
<03707> (8687)
with the works
<04639>
of your hands
<03027>_,
burning incense
<06999> (8763)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
whither ye be gone
<0935> (8802)
to dwell
<01481> (8800)_,
that ye might cut yourselves off
<03772> (8687)_,
and that ye might be a curse
<07045>
and a reproach
<02781>
among all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>_?
Have ye forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the wickedness
<07451>
of your fathers
<01>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of their wives
<0802>_,
and your own wickedness
<07451>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of your wives
<0802>_,
which they have committed
<06213> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_?
{wickedness...: Heb. wickednesses, or, punishments, etc}
They are not humbled
<01792> (8795)
[even] unto this day
<03117>_,
neither have they feared
<03372> (8804)_,
nor walked
<01980> (8804)
in my law
<08451>_,
nor in my statutes
<02708>_,
that I set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
you and before
<06440>
your fathers
<01>_.
{humbled: Heb. contrite}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will set
<07760> (8802)
my face
<06440>
against you for evil
<07451>_,
and to cut off
<03772> (8687)
all Judah
<03063>_.
And I will take
<03947> (8804)
the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that have set
<07760> (8804)
their faces
<06440>
to go
<0935> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, and they shall all be consumed
<08552> (8804)_,
[and] fall
<05307> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
they shall [even] be consumed
<08552> (8735)
by the sword
<02719>
[and] by the famine
<07458>_:
they shall die
<04191> (8799)_,
from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>_,
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_:
and they shall be an execration
<0423>_,
[and] an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
and a reproach
<02781>_.
For I will punish
<06485> (8804)
them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as I have punished
<06485> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
So that none of the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which are gone
<0935> (8802)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, shall escape
<06412>
or remain
<08300>_,
that they should return
<07725> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to the which they have
<05375> (8764)
a desire
<05315>
to return
<07725> (8800)
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
there: for none shall return
<07725> (8799)
but such as shall escape
<06405>_.
{have...: Heb. lift up their soul}
Then all the men
<0582>
which knew
<03045> (8802)
that their wives
<0802>
had burned incense
<06999> (8764)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and all the women
<0802>
that stood by
<05975> (8802)_,
a great
<01419>
multitude
<06951>_,
even all the people
<05971>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
in Pathros
<06624>_,
answered
<06030> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[As for] the word
<01697>
that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto us in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
we will not hearken
<08085> (8802)
unto thee.
But we will certainly
<06213> (8800)
do
<06213> (8799)
whatsoever thing
<01697>
goeth forth
<03318> (8804)
out of our own mouth
<06310>_,
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
unto the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, as we have done
<06213> (8804)_,
we, and our fathers
<01>_,
our kings
<04428>_,
and our princes
<08269>_,
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for [then] had we plenty
<07646> (8799)
of victuals
<03899>_,
and were well
<02896>_,
and saw
<07200> (8804)
no evil
<07451>_.
{queen...: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
But since we left off
<02308> (8804)
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, we have wanted
<02637> (8804)
all [things], and have been consumed
<08552> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_.
And when we burned incense
<06999> (8764)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and poured out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, did we make
<06213> (8804)
her cakes
<03561>
to worship
<06087> (8687)
her, and pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, without
<01107>
our men
<0582>_?
{men: or, husbands?}
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
to the men
<01397>_,
and to the women
<0802>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
which had given him [that] answer
<01697> <06030> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The incense
<07002>
that ye burned
<06999> (8765)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
ye, and your fathers
<01>_,
your kings
<04428>_,
and your princes
<08269>_,
and the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
did not the LORD
<03068>
remember
<02142> (8804)
them, and came
<05927> (8799)
it [not] into his mind
<03820>_?
So that the LORD
<03068>
could
<03201> (8799)
no longer bear
<05375> (8800)_,
because
<06440>
of the evil
<07455>
of your doings
<04611>_,
[and] because
<06440>
of the abominations
<08441>
which ye have committed
<06213> (8804)_;
therefore is your land
<0776>
a desolation
<02723>_,
and an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_,
as at this day
<03117>_.
Because
<06440> <0834>
ye have burned incense
<06999> (8765)_,
and because ye have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
nor walked
<01980> (8804)
in his law
<08451>_,
nor in his statutes
<02708>_,
nor in his testimonies
<05715>_;
therefore this evil
<07451>
is happened
<07122> (8804)
unto you, as at this day
<03117>_.
Moreover Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
and to all the women
<0802>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
all Judah
<03063>
that [are] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_;
Ye and your wives
<0802>
have both spoken
<01696> (8762)
with your mouths
<06310>_,
and fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
with your hand
<03027>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will surely
<06213> (8800)
perform
<06213> (8799)
our vows
<05088>
that we have vowed
<05087> (8804)_,
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her: ye will surely
<06965> (8687)
accomplish
<06965> (8686)
your vows
<05088>_,
and surely
<06213> (8800)
perform
<06213> (8799)
your vows
<05088>_.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
all Judah
<03063>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
Behold, I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by my great
<01419>
name
<08034>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that my name
<08034>
shall no more be named
<07121> (8737)
in the mouth
<06310>
of any man
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
liveth
<02416>_.
Behold, I will watch
<08245> (8802)
over them for evil
<07451>_,
and not for good
<02896>_:
and all the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
that [are] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be consumed
<08552> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_,
until there be an end
<03615> (8800)
of them.
Yet a small
<04962>
number
<04557>
that escape
<06412>
the sword
<02719>
shall return out
<07725> (8799)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
into the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and all the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that are gone
<0935> (8802)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, shall know
<03045> (8804)
whose words
<01697>
shall stand
<06965> (8799)_,
mine, or theirs. {mine...: Heb. from me, or, from them}
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will punish
<06485> (8802)
you in this place
<04725>_,
that ye may know
<03045> (8799)
that my words
<01697>
shall surely
<06965> (8800)
stand
<06965> (8799)
against you for evil
<07451>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
Pharaohhophra
<06548>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
into the hand
<03027>
of his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
his life
<05315>_;
as I gave
<05414> (8804)
Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and that sought
<01245> (8764)
his life
<05315>_.
The word
<01697>
that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
when he had written
<03789> (8800)
these words
<01697>
in a book
<05612>
at the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto thee, O Baruch
<01263>_;
Thou didst say
<0559> (8804)_,
Woe
<0188>
is me now! for the LORD
<03068>
hath added
<03254> (8804)
grief
<03015>
to my sorrow
<04341>_;
I fainted
<03021> (8804)
in my sighing
<0585>_,
and I find
<04672> (8804)
no rest
<04496>_.
Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8804)
thus; Behold, [that] which I have built
<01129> (8804)
will I break down
<02040> (8802)_,
and that which I have planted
<05193> (8804)
I will pluck up
<05428> (8802)_,
even this whole land
<0776>_.
And seekest
<01245> (8762)
thou great things
<01419>
for thyself? seek
<01245> (8762)
[them] not: for, behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon all flesh
<01320>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
but thy life
<05315>
will I give
<05414> (8804)
unto thee for a prey
<07998>
in all places
<04725>
whither thou goest
<03212> (8799)_.
