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.

I have setH5414 thee for a towerH969 and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971, that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will turn backH5437 the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 that are in your handsH3027, wherewith ye fightH3898 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and against the ChaldeansH3778, which besiegeH6696 you withoutH2351 the wallsH2346, and I will assembleH622 them into the midstH8432 of this cityH5892.
And I myself will fightH3898 against you with an outstretchedH5186 handH3027 and with a strongH2389 armH2220, even in angerH639, and in furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110.
And I will smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of this cityH5892, both manH120 and beastH929: they shall dieH4191 of a greatH1419 pestilenceH1698.
And afterwardH310, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will deliverH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971, and such as are leftH7604 in this cityH5892 from the pestilenceH1698, from the swordH2719, and from the famineH7458, into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and he shall smiteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; he shall not spareH2347 them, neither have pityH2550, nor have mercyH7355.
And unto this peopleH5971 thou shalt sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I setH5414 beforeH6440 you the wayH1870 of lifeH2416, and the wayH1870 of deathH4194.
He that abidethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth outH3318, and fallethH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegeH6696 you, he shall liveH2421+H2421, and his lifeH5315 shall be unto him for a preyH7998.
For I have setH7760 my faceH6440 against this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it shall be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784.
And touching the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, say, HearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068;
O houseH1004 of DavidH1732, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH1777 judgmentH4941 in the morningH1242, and deliverH5337 him that is spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6231, lest my furyH2534 go outH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611. {Execute: Heb. Judge}
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitantH3427 of the valleyH6010, and rockH6697 of the plainH4334, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; which sayH559, Who shall come downH5181 against us? or who shall enterH935 into our habitationsH4585? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
But I will punishH6485 you according to the fruitH6529 of your doingsH4611, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the forestH3293 thereof, and it shall devourH398 all things round aboutH5439 it. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And I will makeH5414 thee unto this peopleH5971 a fencedH1219 brasenH5178 wallH2346: and they shall fightH3898 against thee, but they shall not prevailH3201 against thee: for I am with thee to saveH3467 thee and to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Go downH3381 to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696 there this wordH1697,
And sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittestH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935 in by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH6213 ye judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666, and deliverH5337 the spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6216: and do no wrongH3238, do no violenceH2554 to the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, nor the widowH490, neither shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725.
For if ye doH6213 this thingH1697 indeedH6213, then shall there enter inH935 by the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, he, and his servantsH5650, and his peopleH5971. {upon…: Heb. for David upon his throne}
But if ye will not hearH8085 these wordsH1697, I swearH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that this houseH1004 shall become a desolationH2723.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004 of JudahH3063; Thou art GileadH1568 unto me, and the headH7218 of LebanonH3844: yet surely I will makeH7896 thee a wildernessH4057, and citiesH5892 which are not inhabitedH3427+H3427.
And I will prepareH6942 destroyersH7843 against thee, every oneH376 with his weaponsH3627: and they shall cut downH3772 thy choiceH4005 cedarsH730, and castH5307 them into the fireH784.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
WeepH1058 ye not for the deadH4191, neither bemoanH5110 him: but weepH1058 soreH1058 for him that goeth awayH1980: for he shall returnH7725 no more, nor seeH7200 his nativeH4138 countryH776.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 touchingH413 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which reignedH4427 instead of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, which went forthH3318 out of this placeH4725; He shall not returnH7725 thither any more:
But he shall dieH4191 in the placeH4725 whither they have led him captiveH1540, and shall seeH7200 this landH776 no more.
WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129 his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his chambersH5944 by wrongH4941; that useth his neighbour'sH7453 serviceH5647 without wagesH2600, and givethH5414 him not for his workH6467;
That saithH559, I will buildH1129 me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304 chambersH5944, and cutteth him outH7167 windowsH2474; and it is cieledH5603 with cedarH730, and paintedH4886 with vermilionH8350. {large: Heb. through-aired} {windows: or, my windows}
Shalt thou reignH4427, because thou closestH8474 thyself in cedarH730? did not thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, and then it was wellH2896 with him?
He judgedH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it. {violence: or, incursion}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!
He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498 and cast forthH7993 beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
Go upH5927 to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817; and lift upH5414 thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817 from the passagesH5676: for all thy loversH157 are destroyedH7665.
I spakeH1696 unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085 not my voiceH6963. {prosperity: Heb. prosperities}
The windH7307 shall eat upH7462 all thy pastorsH7462, and thy loversH157 shall goH3212 into captivityH7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for all thy wickednessH7451.
O inhabitantH3427 of LebanonH3844, that makest thy nestH7077 in the cedarsH730, how graciousH2603 shalt thou be when pangsH2256 comeH935 upon thee, the painH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205! {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 handH3027, yet would I pluckH5423 thee thence;
And I will giveH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of them whose faceH6440 thou fearestH3016, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
And I will cast thee outH2904, and thy motherH517 that bareH3205 thee, into anotherH312 countryH776, where ye were not bornH3205; and there shall ye dieH4191.
But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5375+H5315 to returnH7725, thither shall they not returnH7725. {desire: Heb. lift up their mind}
Is this manH376 ConiahH3659 a despisedH959 brokenH5310 idolH6089? is he a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656? wherefore are they cast outH7993, he and his seedH2233, and are castH2904 into a landH776 which they knowH3045 not?
O earthH776, earthH776, earthH776, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, WriteH3789 ye this manH376 childlessH6185, a manH1397 that shall not prosperH6743 in his daysH3117: for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosperH6743, sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and rulingH4910 any more in JudahH3063.
For the LordH136 GODH3069 will helpH5826 me; therefore shall I not be confoundedH3637: therefore have I setH7760 my faceH6440 like a flintH2496, and I knowH3045 that I shall not be ashamedH954.
Then spakeH559 JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085.
Therefore now amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430; and the LORDH3068 will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against you.
As for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: doH6213 with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meetH3477 unto you. {as…: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes}
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
Behold, I have madeH5414 thy faceH6440 strongH2389 againstH5980 their facesH6440, and thy foreheadH4696 strongH2389 againstH5980 their foreheadsH4696.
And thou shalt not escape outH4422 of his handH3027, but shalt surelyH8610 be takenH8610, and deliveredH5414 into his handH3027; and thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 the eyesH5869 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall speakH1696 with thee mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and thou shalt goH935 to BabylonH894. {he shall…: Heb. his mouth shall speak to thy mouth}
As an adamantH8068 harderH2389 than flintH6864 have I madeH5414 thy foreheadH4696: fearH3372 them not, neither be dismayedH2865 at their looksH6440, though they be a rebelliousH4805 houseH1004.
I will even giveH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and their dead bodiesH5038 shall be for meatH3978 unto the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and his princesH8269 will I giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428, which are gone upH5927 from you.
Behold, I will commandH6680, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and cause them to returnH7725 to this cityH5892; and they shall fightH3898 against it, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784: and I will makeH5414 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 a desolationH8077 without an inhabitantH3427.
But trulyH199 I am fullH4390 of powerH3581 by the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and of judgmentH4941, and of mightH1369, to declareH5046 unto JacobH3290 his transgressionH6588, and to IsraelH3478 his sinH2403.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, afterH310 that the kingH4428 had burnedH8313 the rollH4039, and the wordsH1697 which BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 at the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 thee againH7725 anotherH312 rollH4039, and writeH3789 in it all the formerH7223 wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 rollH4039, which JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath burnedH8313.
And thou shalt sayH559 to JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thou hast burnedH8313 this rollH4039, sayingH559, Why hast thou writtenH3789 therein, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall certainlyH935 comeH935 and destroyH7843 this landH776, and shall cause to ceaseH7673 from thence manH120 and beastH929?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; He shall have none to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732: and his dead bodyH5038 shall be cast outH7993 in the dayH3117 to the heatH2721, and in the nightH3915 to the frostH7140.
And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Then tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 anotherH312 rollH4039, and gaveH5414 it to BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608, the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374; who wroteH3789 therein from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had burnedH8313 in the fireH784: and there were addedH3254 besides unto them manyH7227 likeH1992 wordsH1697. {like: Heb. as they}
HearH8085 this, I pray you, ye headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and princesH7101 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that abhorH8581 judgmentH4941, and pervertH6140 all equityH3477.
