And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he, and all his hostH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
And the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And on the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between two wallsH2346, which is by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeesH3778 were against the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and the king wentH3212 the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and all his armyH2428 were scatteredH6327 from him.
So they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and brought him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
And in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, on the seventhH7651 day of the monthH2320, which is the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, unto JerusalemH3389: {captain…: or, chief marshal}
And he burntH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and every greatH1419 man's houseH1004 burntH8313 he with fireH784.
And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Now the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the fugitivesH5307 that fell awayH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, with the remnantH3499 of the multitudeH1995, did NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carry awayH1540. {fugitives: Heb. fallen away}
But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmenH3009+H1461.
And the pillarsH5982 of brassH5178 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the basesH4350, and the brasenH5178 seaH3220 that was in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, did the ChaldeesH3778 break in piecesH7665, and carriedH5375 the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894.
And the potsH5518, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the spoonsH3709, and all the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, took they awayH3947.
And the firepansH4289, and the bowlsH4219, and such things as were of goldH2091, in goldH2091, and of silverH3701, in silverH3701, the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 took awayH3947.
The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, oneH259 seaH3220, and the basesH4350 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the brassH5178 of all these vesselsH3627 was withoutH3808 weightH4948. {one…: Heb. the one sea}
The heightH6967 of the oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083+H6240 cubitsH520, and the chapiterH3805 upon it was brassH5178: and the heightH6967 of the chapiterH3805 threeH7969 cubitsH520; and the wreathen workH7639, and pomegranatesH7416 upon the chapiterH3805 round aboutH5439, all of brassH5178: and like unto these had the secondH8145 pillarH5982 with wreathen workH7639.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold}
And out of the cityH5892 he tookH3947 anH259 officerH5631 that was setH6496 over the menH582 of warH4421, and fiveH2568 menH582 of them that wereH7200 in the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892, and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, which musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 that were foundH4672 in the cityH5892: {officer: or, eunuch} {were in…: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
And NebuzaradanH5018 captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 these, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247:
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574. So JudahH3063 was carried awayH1540 out of their landH127.
And as for the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, even over them he made GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, rulerH6485.
And when all the captainsH8269 of the armiesH2428, they and their menH582, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made GedaliahH1436 governorH6485, there cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4709, even IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of CareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of a MaachathiteH4602, they and their menH582.
And GedaliahH1436 swareH7650 to them, and to their menH582, and saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not to be the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeesH3778: dwellH3427 in the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and it shall be wellH3190 with you.
But it came to pass in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4410, cameH935, and tenH6235 menH582 with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436, that he diedH4191, and the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeesH3778 that were with him at MizpahH4709. {royal: Heb. of the kingdom}
And all the peopleH5971, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captainsH8269 of the armiesH2428, aroseH6965, and cameH935 to EgyptH4714: for they were afraidH3372 ofH6440 the ChaldeesH3778.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the yearH8141 that he began to reignH4427 did lift upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 out of prisonH1004+H3608;
And he spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 above the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894; {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did eatH398 breadH3899 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And his allowanceH737 was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, a dailyH3117+H3117 rateH1697 for every dayH3117, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.

And in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the cityH5892 was broken upH1234.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 that they should commitH6485 JeremiahH3414 into the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and that they should giveH5414 him dailyH3117 a pieceH3603 of breadH3899 out of the bakers'H644 streetH2351, until all the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 were spentH8552. Thus JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.
And in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 was soreH2388 in the cityH5892, so that there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and fencedH1219 wallsH2346 come downH3381, whereinH2004 thou trustedstH982, throughout all thy landH776: and he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179 throughout all thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, He that remainethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth forthH3318 to the ChaldeansH3778 shall liveH2421; for he shall have his lifeH5315 for a preyH7998, and shall liveH2421+H2425.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee: {body: Heb. belly}
The tongueH3956 of the sucking childH3243 cleavethH1692 to the roof of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: the young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and no man breakethH6566 it unto them.
They that did feedH398 delicatelyH4574 are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: they that were brought upH539 in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dunghillsH830.
For the punishment of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the punishmentH2403 of the sin of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 stayedH2342 on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}
Her NazaritesH5139 were purerH2141 than snowH7950, they were whiterH6705 than milkH2461, they were more ruddyH119 in bodyH6106 than rubiesH6443, their polishingH1508 was of sapphireH5601:
Their visageH8389 is blackerH2821 than a coalH7815; they are not knownH5234 in the streetsH2351: their skinH5785 cleavethH6821 to their bonesH6106; it is witheredH3001, it is become like a stickH6086. {blacker…: Heb. darker than blackness}
They that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are betterH2896 than they that be slainH2491 with hungerH7458: for theseH1992 pine awayH2100, strickenH1856 through for want of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704. {pine…: Heb. flow out}
The handsH3027 of the pitifulH7362 womenH802 have soddenH1310 their own childrenH3206: they were their meatH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
TakeH3947 thou also unto thee wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and beansH6321, and lentilesH5742, and milletH1764, and fitchesH3698, and putH5414 them in oneH259 vesselH3627, and makeH6213 thee breadH3899 thereof, according to the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 that thou shalt lieH7901 upon thy sideH6654, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninetyH8673 daysH3117 shalt thou eatH398 thereof. {fitches: or, spelt}
And thy meatH3978 which thou shalt eatH398 shall be by weightH4946, twentyH6242 shekelsH8255 a dayH3117: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou eatH398 it.
Thou shalt drinkH8354 also waterH4325 by measureH4884, the sixth partH8345 of an hinH1969: from timeH6256 to timeH6256 shalt thou drinkH8354.
And thou shalt eatH398 it as barleyH8184 cakesH5692, and thou shalt bakeH5746 it with dungH1561 that cometh outH6627 of manH120, in their sightH5869.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Even thus shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 their defiledH2931 breadH3899 among the GentilesH1471, whither I will driveH5080 them.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, my soulH5315 hath not been pollutedH2930: for from my youthH5271 up even till now have I not eatenH398 of that which dieth of itselfH5038, or is torn in piecesH2966; neither cameH935 there abominableH6292 fleshH1320 into my mouthH6310.
Then he saidH559 unto me, LoH7200, I have givenH5414 thee cow'sH1241 dungH6832+H6832 for man'sH120 dungH1561, and thou shalt prepareH6213 thy breadH3899 therewith.
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of breadH3899 in JerusalemH3389: and they shall eatH398 breadH3899 by weightH4948, and with careH1674; and they shall drinkH8354 waterH4325 by measureH4884, and with astonishmentH8078:
That they may wantH2637 breadH3899 and waterH4325, and be astoniedH8074 oneH376 with anotherH251, and consume awayH4743 for their iniquityH5771.
Therefore the fathersH1 shall eatH398 the sonsH1121 in the midstH8432 of thee, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398 their fathersH1; and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee, and the whole remnantH7611 of thee will I scatterH2219 into all the windsH7307.
A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219 a third partH7992 into all the windsH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
