Jeremiah 42:1-16

42:1

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)_,

42:2

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}

42:3

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)_.

42:4

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.

42:5

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.

42:6

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>_.

42:7

And it came to pass after
<07093>

ten
<06235>

days
<03117>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_.

42:8

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>_,

42:9

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;

42:10

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.

42:11

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>_.

42:12

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>_.

42:13

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>_,

42:14

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)_:

42:15

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;

42:16

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}
