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}

Now PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of ImmerH564 the priestH3548, who was also chiefH6496 governorH5057 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, heardH8085 that JeremiahH3414 prophesiedH5012 these thingsH1697.
Then JehuH3058 came forthH3318 to the servantsH5650 of his lordH113: and one saidH559 unto him, Is all wellH7965? wherefore cameH935 this madH7696 fellow to thee? And he saidH559 unto them, Ye knowH3045 the manH376, and his communicationH7879.
Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, which maketh himself a prophetH5012 to you?
Now PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of ImmerH564 the priestH3548, who was also chiefH6496 governorH5057 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, heardH8085 that JeremiahH3414 prophesiedH5012 these thingsH1697.
Then PashurH6583 smoteH5221 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 that were in the highH5945 gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, which was by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
The daysH3117 of visitationH6486 are comeH935, the daysH3117 of recompenceH7966 are comeH935; IsraelH3478 shall knowH3045 it: the prophetH5030 is a foolH191, the spiritualH7307 manH376 is madH7696, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771, and the greatH7227 hatredH4895. {spiritual…: Heb. man of the spirit}
If there ariseH6965 amongH7130 you a prophetH5030, or a dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, and givethH5414 thee a signH226 or a wonderH4159,
And the signH226 or the wonderH4159 come to passH935, whereof he spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, and let us serveH5647 them;
Thou shalt not hearkenH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 provethH5254 you, to knowH3045 whether yeH3426 loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
Ye shall walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and fearH3372 him, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and ye shall serveH5647 him, and cleaveH1692 unto him.
And that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, shall be put to deathH4191; because he hath spokenH1696 to turnH5627 you away from the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, to thrustH5080 thee out of the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee to walk inH3212. So shalt thou putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from the midstH7130 of thee. {to turn…: Heb. revolt against the LORD}
Then PashurH6583 smoteH5221 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 that were in the highH5945 gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, which was by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
But JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of the hundredsH3967, the officersH6485 of the hostH2428, and saidH559 unto them, Have her forthH3318 withoutH1004 the rangesH7713: and him that followethH935+H310 her killH4191 with the swordH2719. For the priestH3548 had saidH559, Let her not be slainH4191 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
AndG2532 when hisG846 friendsG3844 heardG191 of it, they went outG1831 to lay holdG2902 on himG846: forG1063 they saidG3004+G3754, He is beside himselfG1839. {friends: or, kinsmen}
And it shall come to pass, that when anyH376 shall yet prophesyH5012, then his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall sayH559 unto him, Thou shalt not liveH2421; for thou speakestH1696 liesH8267 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and his fatherH1 and his motherH517 that begatH3205 him shall thrustH1856 him through when he prophesiethH5012.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the prophetsH5030 shall be ashamedH954 every oneH376 of his visionH2384, when he hath prophesiedH5012; neither shall they wearH3847 a roughH8181 garmentH155 to deceiveH3584: {a rough…: Heb. a garment of hair} {deceive: Heb. lie}
But he shall sayH559, I am no prophetH5030, I am an husbandmanH376+H5647+H127; for manH120 taught me to keep cattleH7069 from my youthH5271.
And one shall sayH559 unto him, What are these woundsH4347 in thine handsH3027? Then he shall answerH559, Those with which I was woundedH5221 in the houseH1004 of my friendsH157.
Then tookH3947 they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993 him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883 in the mireH2916. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
And all the peopleH5971 of the landH776 wentH935 into the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, and brake it downH5422; his altarsH4196 and his imagesH6754 brake they in piecesH7665 thoroughlyH3190, and slewH2026 MattanH4977 the priestH3548 of BaalH1168 beforeH6440 the altarsH4196. And the priestH3548 appointedH7760 officersH6485+H6486 over the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {officers: Heb. offices}
AndG1161 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 saidG3004, He hathG2192 a devilG1140, andG2532 is madG3105; whyG5101 hear yeG191 himG846?
AndG2532 when heG846 was comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG2411, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG4334 unto himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG5023? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4671 thisG5026 authorityG1849?
So JeremiahH3414 abodeH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 until the dayH3117 that JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920: and he was there when JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920.
AndG1161 as theyG846 spakeG2980 untoG4314 the peopleG2992, the priestsG2409, andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411, andG2532 the SadduceesG4523, came uponG2186 themG846, {captain: or, ruler}
AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693 themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 untoG1519+G2193 strangeG1854 citiesG4172.
ArtG3361+G1488 thouG4771 greater thanG3187 ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, whichG3748 is deadG599? andG2532 the prophetsG4396 are deadG599: whomG5101 makestG4160 thouG4771 thyselfG4572?
Then AsaH609 was wrothH3707 with the seerH7200, and putH5414 him in a prisonH4115 houseH1004; for he was in a rageH2197 with him because of this thing. And AsaH609 oppressedH7533 some of the peopleH5971 the same timeH6256. {oppressed: Heb. crushed}
NowG1161 whenG5613+G5037 the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG749 heardG191 theseG5128 thingsG3056, they doubtedG1280 ofG4012 themG846 whereuntoG5101+G302 thisG5124 would growG1096.
AndG1161 as heG846 thusG5023 spake for himselfG626, FestusG5347 saidG5346 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, PaulG3972, thou art beside thyselfG3105; muchG4183 learningG1121 doth makeG4062 theeG4571 madG1519+G3130.
The JewsG2453 answeredG611 himG846, sayingG3004, ForG4012 a goodG2570 workG2041 we stoneG3034 theeG4571 notG3756; butG235 forG4012 blasphemyG988; andG2532 becauseG3754 that thouG4771, beingG5607 a manG444, makestG4160 thyselfG4572 GodG2316.
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prisonH1004+H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I returnH7725 in peaceH7965.
ForG1063 whetherG1535 we be beside ourselvesG1839, it is to GodG2316: or whetherG1535 we be soberG4993, it is for your causeG5213.
ForG1063 the loveG26 of ChristG5547 constrainethG4912 usG2248; because we thusG5124 judgeG2919, thatG3754 ifG1487 oneG1520 diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thenG686 wereG599 allG3956 deadG599:
AndG2532 that he diedG599 forG5228 allG3956, thatG2443 they which liveG2198 shouldG2198 not henceforthG3371 liveG2198 unto themselvesG1438, butG235 unto him which diedG599 forG5228 themG846, andG2532 rose againG1453.
AndG2532 laidG1911 theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 the apostlesG652, andG2532 putG5087 themG846 inG1722 the commonG1219 prisonG5084.
WhoG3739, having receivedG2983 suchG5108 a chargeG3852, thrustG906 themG846 intoG1519 the innerG2082 prisonG5438, andG2532 madeG805 theirG846 feetG4228 fastG805 inG1519 the stocksG3586.
AndG2532 throughG1223 a windowG2376 inG1722 a basketG4553 was I let downG5465 byG1223 the wallG5038, andG2532 escapedG1628 hisG846 handsG5495.
FearG5399 noneG3367 of those things whichG3739 thou shaltG3195 sufferG3958: beholdG2400, the devilG1228 shallG3195 castG906 some ofG1537 youG5216 intoG1519 prisonG5438, thatG2443 ye may be triedG3985; andG2532 ye shall haveG2192 tribulationG2347 tenG1176 daysG2250: be thouG1096 faithfulG4103 untoG891 deathG2288, andG2532 I will giveG1325 theeG4671 a crownG4735 of lifeG2222.
