Now these are the wordsH1697 of the letterH5612 that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 unto the residueH3499 of the eldersH2205 which were carried away captivesH1473, and to the priestsH3548, and to the prophetsH5030, and to all the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 had carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894;
(AfterH310 that JeconiahH3204 the kingH4428, and the queenH1377, and the eunuchsH5631, the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and the carpentersH2796, and the smithsH4525, were departedH3318 from JerusalemH3389;) {eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
By the handH3027 of ElasahH501 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, (whom ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 unto BabylonH894 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894) sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto all that are carried away captivesH1473, whom I have caused to be carried awayH1540 from JerusalemH3389 unto BabylonH894;
BuildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them;
TakeH3947 ye wivesH802, and begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; and takeH3947 wivesH802 for your sonsH1121, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to husbandsH582, that they may bearH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1121; that ye may be increasedH7235 there, and not diminishedH4591.
And seekH1875 the peaceH7965 of the cityH5892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captivesH1540, and prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 for it: for in the peaceH7965 thereof shall ye have peaceH7965.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Let not your prophetsH5030 and your divinersH7080, that be in the midstH7130 of you, deceiveH5377 you, neither hearkenH8085 to your dreamsH2472 which ye cause to be dreamedH2492.
For they prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 unto you in my nameH8034: I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {falsely: Heb. in a lie}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, That afterH6310 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 be accomplishedH4390 at BabylonH894 I will visitH6485 you, and performH6965 my goodH2896 wordH1697 toward you, in causing you to returnH7725 to this placeH4725.
For I knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 that I thinkH2803 toward you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thoughtsH4284 of peaceH7965, and not of evilH7451, to giveH5414 you an expectedH8615 endH319. {expected…: Heb. end and expectation}
Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
And I will be foundH4672 of you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and I will turn awayH7725 your captivityH7622+H7622, and I will gatherH6908 you from all the nationsH1471, and from all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will bring you againH7725 into the placeH4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captiveH1540.
Because ye have saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath raised us upH6965 prophetsH5030 in BabylonH894;
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}
Because they have not hearkenedH8085 to my wordsH1697, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which I sentH7971 unto them by my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye would not hearH8085, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 ye therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all ye of the captivityH1473, whom I have sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
And of them shall be taken upH3947 a curseH7045 by all the captivityH1546 of JudahH3063 which are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784;
Because they have committedH6213 villanyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and have committedH6213 adulteryH5003 with their neighbours'H7453 wivesH802, and have spokenH1696 lyingH8267 wordsH1697 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 them; even I knowH3045, and am a witnessH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus shalt thou also speakH559 to ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, sayingH559, {Nehelamite: or, dreamer}
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Because thou hast sentH7971 lettersH5612 in thy nameH8034 unto all the peopleH5971 that are at JerusalemH3389, and to ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548, and to all the priestsH3548, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the stead of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that ye should be officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, for every manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himself a prophetH5012, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in prisonH4115, and in the stocksH6729.
Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, which maketh himself a prophetH5012 to you?
For therefore he sentH7971 unto us in BabylonH894, sayingH559, ThisH1931 captivity is longH752: buildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 readH7121 this letterH5612 in the earsH241 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
SendH7971 to all them of the captivityH1473, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161; Because that ShemaiahH8098 hath prophesiedH5012 unto you, and I sentH7971 him not, and he caused you to trustH982 in a lieH8267:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233: he shall not have a manH376 to dwellH3427 amongH8432 this peopleH5971; neither shall he beholdH7200 the goodH2896 that I will doH6213 for my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because he hath taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}

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}
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.
And it shall come to pass, if they sayH559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forthH3318? then thou shalt tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Such as are for deathH4194, to deathH4194; and such as are for the swordH2719, to the swordH2719; and such as are for the famineH7458, to the famineH7458; and such as are for the captivityH7628, to the captivityH7628.
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 appointH6485 over them fourH702 kindsH4940, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: the swordH2719 to slayH2026, and the dogsH3611 to tearH5498, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH929 of the earthH776, to devourH398 and destroyH7843. {kinds: Heb. families}
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplishedH3615, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon them, and I will be comfortedH5162: and they shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it in my zealH7068, when I have accomplishedH3615 my furyH2534 in them.
Moreover I will makeH5414 thee wasteH2723, and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, in the sightH5869 of all that pass byH5674.
So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a tauntH1422, an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH4923 unto the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, when I shall executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in furiousH2534 rebukesH8433. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
When I shall sendH7971 upon them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famineH7458, which shall be for their destructionH4889, and which I will sendH7971 to destroyH7843 you: and I will increaseH3254 the famineH7458 upon you, and will breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899:
So will I sendH7971 upon you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beastsH2416, and they shall bereaveH7921 thee; and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall pass throughH5674 thee; and I will bringH935 the swordH2719 upon thee. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again to me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, when the landH776 sinnethH2398 against me by trespassingH4603 grievouslyH4604, then will I stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon it, and will breakH7665 the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and will sendH7971 famineH7458 upon it, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
IfH3863 I cause noisomeH7451 beastsH2416 to pass throughH5674 the landH776, and they spoilH7921 it, so that it be desolateH8077, that no man may pass throughH5674 becauseH6440 of the beastsH2416: {spoil: or, bereave}
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323; they only shall be deliveredH5337, but the landH776 shall be desolateH8077. {in it: Heb. in the midst of it}
Or if I bringH935 a swordH2719 upon that landH776, and sayH559, SwordH2719, go throughH5674 the landH776; so that I cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it:
Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, but they only shall be deliveredH5337 themselves.
Or if I sendH7971 a pestilenceH1698 into that landH776, and pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon it in bloodH1818, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929:
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
