Jeremiah 44:1-30

44:1

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)_,

44:2

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,

44:3

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>_.

44:4

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)_.

44:5

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>_.

44:6

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>_.

44:7

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}

44:8

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>_?

44:9

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}

44:10

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}

44:11

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>_.

44:12

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>_.

44:13

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>_:

44:14

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}

44:15

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)_,

44:16

[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.

44:17

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}

44:18

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>_.

44:19

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?}

44:20

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)_,

44:21

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>_?

44:22

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>_.

44:23

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>_.

44:24

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>_:

44:25

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>_.

44:26

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>_.

44:27

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.

44:28

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}

44:29

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>_:

44:30

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>_.
