Jeremiah 42:1--43:13

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}

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}

43:1

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>_,

43:2

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:

43:3

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>_.

43:4

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>_.

43:5

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>_;

43:6

[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>_.

43:7

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>_.

43:8

Then came the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto Jeremiah
<03414>

in Tahpanhes
<08471>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

43:9

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>_;

43:10

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.

43:11

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>_.

43:12

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>_.

43:13

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}
