Jeremiah 42:4-22

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}

42:17

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}

42:18

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.

42:19

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}

42:20

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}

42:21

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.

42:22

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}
