The LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me, and, behold, twoH8147 basketsH1736 of figsH8384 were setH3259 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away captiveH1540 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, with the carpentersH2796 and smithsH4525, from JerusalemH3389, and had broughtH935 them to BabylonH894.
OneH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 goodH2896 figsH8384, even like the figsH8384 that are first ripeH1073: and the otherH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 naughtyH7451 figsH8384, which could not be eatenH398, they were so badH7455. {they…: Heb. for badness}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, What seestH7200 thou, JeremiahH3414? And I saidH559, FigsH8384; the goodH2896 figsH8384, veryH3966 goodH2896; and the evilH7451, veryH3966 evilH7451, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455.
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Like these goodH2896 figsH8384, so will I acknowledgeH5234 them that are carried away captiveH1546 of JudahH3063, whom I have sentH7971 out of this placeH4725 into the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 for their goodH2896. {them…: Heb. the captivity}
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.
And I will giveH5414 them an heartH3820 to knowH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068: and they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430: for they shall returnH7725 unto me with their whole heartH3820.
And as the evilH7451 figsH8384, which cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455; surely thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, So will I giveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his princesH8269, and the residueH7611 of JerusalemH3389, that remainH7604 in this landH776, and them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
And I will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 for their hurtH7451, to be a reproachH2781 and a proverbH4912, a tauntH8148 and a curseH7045, in all placesH4725 whither I shall driveH5080 them. {to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation}
And I will sendH7971 the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, among them, till they be consumedH8552 from off the landH127 that I gaveH5414 unto them and to their fathersH1.

OneH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 goodH2896 figsH8384, even like the figsH8384 that are first ripeH1073: and the otherH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 naughtyH7451 figsH8384, which could not be eatenH398, they were so badH7455. {they…: Heb. for badness}
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 it came to pass, that when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 unto all the peopleH5971 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, for which the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him to them, even all these wordsH1697,
Then spakeH559 AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of HoshaiahH1955, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the proudH2086 menH582, sayingH559 unto JeremiahH3414, Thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 hath not sentH7971 thee to sayH559, GoH935 not into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there:
But BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 setteth thee onH5496 against us, for toH4616 deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, that they might put us to deathH4191, and carry us away captivesH1540 into BabylonH894.
So JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, and all the peopleH5971, obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, to dwellH3427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063.
But JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, tookH3947 all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that were returnedH7725 from all nationsH1471, whither they had been drivenH5080, to dwellH1481 in the landH776 of JudahH3063;
Even menH1397, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and the king'sH4428 daughtersH1323, and every personH5315 that NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had leftH3240 with GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374.
So they cameH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714: for they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: thus cameH935 they even to TahpanhesH8471.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414 in TahpanhesH8471, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 greatH1419 stonesH68 in thine handH3027, and hideH2934 them in the clayH4423 in the brickkilnH4404, which is at the entryH6607 of Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004 in TahpanhesH8471, in the sightH5869 of the menH582 of JudahH3064;
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will setH7760 his throneH3678 uponH4605 these stonesH68 that I have hidH2934; and he shall spreadH5186 his royal pavilionH8237 over them.
And when he comethH935, he shall smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and deliver such as are for deathH4194 to deathH4194; and such as are for captivityH7628 to captivityH7628; and such as are for the swordH2719 to the swordH2719.
And I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the housesH1004 of the godsH430 of EgyptH4714; and he shall burnH8313 them, and carry them away captivesH7617: and he shall arrayH5844 himself with the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as a shepherdH7462 putteth onH5844 his garmentH899; and he shall go forthH3318 from thence in peaceH7965.
He shall breakH7665 also the imagesH4676 of BethshemeshH1053, that is in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the housesH1004 of the godsH430 of the EgyptiansH4714 shall he burnH8313 with fireH784. {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images} {Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Like these goodH2896 figsH8384, so will I acknowledgeH5234 them that are carried away captiveH1546 of JudahH3063, whom I have sentH7971 out of this placeH4725 into the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 for their goodH2896. {them…: Heb. the captivity}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it:
Know that thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of the kingH4428 that sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and of all the peopleH5971 that dwellethH3427 in this cityH5892, and of your brethrenH251 that are not gone forthH3318 with you into captivityH1473;
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will sendH7971 upon them the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, and will makeH5414 them like vileH8182 figsH8384, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455.
And I will persecuteH7291 themH310 with the swordH2719, with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, and will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 to all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, to be a curseH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and a reproachH2781, among all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 them: {to be a curse: Heb. for a curse}
And the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against this cityH5892, shall comeH935 and setH3341 fireH784 on this cityH5892, and burnH8313 it with the housesH1004, upon whose roofsH1406 they have offered incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430, to provoke me to angerH3707.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, and every manH376 to his neighbourH7453: behold, I proclaimH7121 a libertyH1865 for you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to the swordH2719, to the pestilenceH1698, and to the famineH7458; and I will makeH5414 you to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {to be…: Heb. for a removing}
And I will giveH5414 the menH582 that have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, which have not performedH6965 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which they had madeH3772 beforeH6440 me, when they cutH3772 the calfH5695 in twainH8147, and passedH5674 between the partsH1335 thereof,
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JerusalemH3389, the eunuchsH5631, and the priestsH3548, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, which passedH5674 between the partsH1335 of the calfH5695;
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.
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971, and took him outH3947: and the kingH4428 askedH7592 him secretlyH5643 in his houseH1004, and saidH559, Is there any wordH1697 from the LORDH3068? And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, There isH3426: for, saidH559 he, thou shalt be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
But if thou wilt not go forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then shall this cityH5892 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they shall burnH8313 it with fireH784, and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027.
And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraidH1672 of the JewsH3064 that are fallenH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, lest they deliverH5414 me into their handH3027, and they mockH5953 me.
But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, They shall not deliverH5414 thee. ObeyH8085, I beseech thee, the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, which I speakH1696 unto thee: so it shall be wellH3190 unto thee, and thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421.
But if thou refuseH3986 to go forthH3318, this is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me:
And, behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004 shall be brought forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, and those women shall sayH559, Thy friendsH582+H7965 have set thee onH5496, and have prevailedH3201 against thee: thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mireH1206, and they are turned awayH5472 backH268. {Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}
So they shall bring outH3318 all thy wivesH802 and thy childrenH1121 to the ChaldeansH3778: and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027, but shalt be takenH8610 by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313 with fireH784. {thou shalt cause…: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc}
And in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the cityH5892 was broken upH1234.
And all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935, and satH3427 in the middleH8432 gateH8179, even NergalsharezerH5371, SamgarneboH5562, SarsechimH8310, RabsarisH7249, NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, with all the residueH7611 of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass, that when ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 them, and all the menH582 of warH4421, then they fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the king'sH4428 gardenH1588, by the gateH8179 betwixt the two wallsH2346: and he went outH3318 the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the Chaldeans'H3778 armyH2428 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947 him, they brought him upH5927 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake with him judgments}
Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him with chainsH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894. {with…: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 into BabylonH894 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to him, with the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604. {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For throughH5921 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, till he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
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.
Then the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the two wallsH2346, which was by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588; (now the ChaldeansH3778 were by the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and they wentH3212 by the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him.
Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carried him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869: he slewH7819 also all the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247.
Then he put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in chainsH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004+H6486 till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
And the princeH5387 that is amongH8432 them shall bearH5375 upon his shoulderH3802 in the twilightH5939, and shall go forthH3318: they shall digH2864 through the wallH7023 to carry outH3318 thereby: he shall coverH3680 his faceH6440, thatH3282 he seeH7200 not the groundH776 with his eyesH5869.
My netH7568 also will I spreadH6566 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686: and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894 to the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; yet shall he not seeH7200 it, though he shall dieH4191 there.
And I will scatterH2219 toward every windH7307 all that are aboutH5439 him to helpH5828 him, and all his bandsH102; and I will draw outH7324 the swordH2719 afterH310 them.
And they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall scatterH6327 them among the nationsH1471, and disperseH2219 them in the countriesH776.
But I will leaveH3498 a fewH4557 menH582 of them from the swordH2719, from the famineH7458, and from the pestilenceH1698; that they may declareH5608 all their abominationsH8441 among the heathenH1471 whither they comeH935; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a few…: Heb. men of number}
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
