The wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, of the priestsH3548 that were in AnathothH6068 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144:
To whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.
It came also in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the endH8552 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the carrying awayH1540 of JerusalemH3389 captiveH1540 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee; and before thou camest forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 I sanctifiedH6942 thee, and I ordainedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. {ordained: Heb. gave}
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, I cannotH3045 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatsoever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696.
Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310.
SeeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH6485 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to root outH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6, and to throw downH2040, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, JeremiahH3414, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a rodH4731 of an almond treeH8247.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I will hastenH8245 my wordH1697 to performH6213 it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, What seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seethingH5301 potH5518; and the faceH6440 thereof is towardH6440 the northH6828. {toward…: Heb. from the face of the north}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Out of the northH6828 an evilH7451 shall break forthH6605 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. {shall…: Heb. shall be opened}
For, lo, I will callH7121 all the familiesH4940 of the kingdomsH4467 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall comeH935, and they shall setH5414 every oneH376 his throneH3678 at the enteringH6607 of the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389, and against all the wallsH2346 thereof round aboutH5439, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And I will utterH1696 my judgmentsH4941 against them touchingH5921 all their wickednessH7451, who have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
Thou therefore gird upH247 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, and speakH1696 unto them all that I commandH6680 thee: be not dismayedH2865 at their facesH6440, lest I confoundH2865 thee beforeH6440 them. {confound: or, break to pieces}
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And they shall fightH3898 against thee; but they shall not prevailH3201 against thee; for I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 thee.

For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to me; MakeH6213 thee bondsH4147 and yokesH4133, and putH5414 them upon thy neckH6677, {saith…: or, hath the LORD said}
And sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and to the kingH4428 of ZidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 which comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063;
And commandH6680 them to sayH559 unto their mastersH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 unto your mastersH113; {to say…: or, concerning their masters, saying}
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the manH120 and the beastH929 that are uponH6440 the groundH776, by my greatH1419 powerH3581 and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and have givenH5414 it unto whom it seemedH5869 meetH3474 unto me.
And now have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 have I givenH5414 him also to serveH5647 him.
And all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him, and his sonH1121, and his son'sH1121 sonH1121, until the very timeH6256 of his landH776 comeH935: and then manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of him.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapethH4422 the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slayH4191: and him that escapethH4422 from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slayH4191.
For I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for goodH2896, and I will bring them againH7725 to this landH776: and I will buildH1129 them, and not pull them downH2040; and I will plantH5193 them, and not pluck them upH5428.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the GentilesH1471;
Against EgyptH4714, against the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
OrderH6186 ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH6793, and draw nearH5066 to battleH4421.
HarnessH631 the horsesH5483; and get upH5927, ye horsemenH6571, and stand forthH3320 with your helmetsH3553; furbishH4838 the spearsH7420, and put onH3847 the brigandinesH5630.
Wherefore have I seenH7200 them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472 away backH268? and their mighty onesH1368 are beaten downH3807, and are fledH5127 apaceH4498, and look not backH6437: for fearH4032 was round aboutH5439, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {beaten…: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled…: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swiftH7031 flee awayH5127, nor the mighty manH1368 escapeH4422; they shall stumbleH3782, and fallH5307 toward the northH6828 byH3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Who is this that cometh upH5927 as a floodH2975, whose watersH4325 are movedH1607 as the riversH5104?
EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927 like a floodH2975, and his watersH4325 are movedH1607 like the riversH5104; and he saithH559, I will go upH5927, and will coverH3680 the earthH776; I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
Come upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. {the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398, and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Go upH5927 into GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235 medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. {thou shalt…: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of thy shameH7036, and thy cryH6682 hath filledH4390 the landH776: for the mighty manH1368 hath stumbledH3782 against the mightyH1368, and they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 togetherH3162.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502? they stoodH5975 not, because the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 them.
He made manyH7235 to fallH3782, yea, oneH376 fellH5307 upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us go againH7725 to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238 swordH2719. {made…: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cryH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674 the time appointedH4150.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.
O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH3627+H1473: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427. {furnish…: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935; it cometh outH935 of the northH6828.
Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437, and are fled awayH5127 togetherH3162: they did not standH5975, because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486. {fatted…: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212 with an armyH2428, and comeH935 against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086.
They shall cut downH3772 her forestH3293, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713; because they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH369+H4557.
The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001; she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559; Behold, I will punishH6485 the multitudeH527+H528 of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But fearH3372 not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467 thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and be in restH8252 and at easeH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
SonH1121 of manH120, wailH5091 for the multitudeH1995 of EgyptH4714, and cast them downH3381, even her, and the daughtersH1323 of the famousH117 nationsH1471, unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, with them that go downH3381 into the pitH953.
Again I will buildH1129 thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129, O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710 with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318 in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832. {tabrets: or, timbrels}
And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}
And it was according to the appearanceH4758 of the visionH4758 which I sawH7200, even according to the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 when I cameH935 to destroyH7843 the cityH5892: and the visionsH4759 were like the visionH4758 that I sawH7200 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440. {when…: or, when I came to prophesy that the city should be destroyed}
Thou shalt yet plantH5193 vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193 shall plantH5193, and shall eat them as common thingsH2490. {eat…: Heb. profane them}
AndG2532 I will giveG1325 power unto myG3450 twoG1417 witnessesG3144, andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395 a thousandG5507 two hundredG1250 and threescoreG1835 daysG2250, clothed inG4016 sackclothG4526. {I will give…: or, I will give unto my two witnesses that they may prophesy}
TheseG3778 areG1526 the twoG1417 oliveG1636 trees, andG2532 the twoG1417 candlesticksG3087 standingG2476 beforeG1799 the GodG2316 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 if any manG1536+G846 willG2309 hurtG91 themG846, fireG4442 proceedethG1607 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 devourethG2719 theirG846 enemiesG2190: andG2532 if any manG1536 willG2309 hurtG91 themG846, he mustG1163 in this mannerG3779 be killedG615.
TheseG3778 haveG2192 powerG1849 to shutG2808 heavenG3772, thatG3363 it rainG1026+G5205 notG3363 inG1722 the daysG2250 of theirG846 prophecyG4394: andG2532 haveG2192 powerG1849 overG1909 watersG5204 to turnG4762 themG846 toG1519 bloodG129, andG2532 to smiteG3960 the earthG1093 with allG3956 plaguesG4127, as oftenG3740 asG1437 they willG2309.
Surely the LordH136 GODH3069 will doH6213 nothingH1697, but he revealethH1540 his secretH5475 unto his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245 them, to pluck upH5428, and to break downH5422, and to throw downH2040, and to destroyH6, and to afflictH7489; so will I watch overH8245 them, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
That confirmethH6965 the wordH1697 of his servantH5650, and performethH7999 the counselH6098 of his messengersH4397; that saithH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be inhabitedH3427; and to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Ye shall be builtH1129, and I will raise upH6965 the decayed placesH2723 thereof: {decayed…: Heb. wastes}
That saithH559 to the deepH6683, Be dryH2717, and I will dry upH3001 thy riversH5104:

(ForG1063 the weaponsG3696 of ourG2257 warfareG4752 are notG3756 carnalG4559, butG235 mightyG1415 through GodG2316 toG4314 the pulling downG2506 of strong holdsG3794;) {through God: or, to God}
Then the heathenH1471 that are leftH7604 round aboutH5439 you shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 buildH1129 the ruinedH2040 places, and plantH5193 that that was desolateH8074: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and I will doH6213 it.

AndG2532 I sawG1492 the beastG2342, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 armiesG4753, gathered togetherG4863 to makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 him that satG2521 onG1909 the horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 hisG846 armyG4753.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
