The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068 in the tenthH6224 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which was the eighteenthH8083+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019.
For then the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389: and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 was shut upH3607 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, which was in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004.
For ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had shut him upH3607, sayingH559, Wherefore dost thou prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it;
And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 shall not escapeH4422 out of the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, but shall surelyH5414 be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and shall speakH1696 with him mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 his eyesH5869;
And he shall leadH3212 ZedekiahH6667 to BabylonH894, and there shall he be until I visitH6485 him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: though ye fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, ye shall not prosperH6743.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Behold, HanameelH2601 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967 thine uncleH1730 shall comeH935 unto thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 thee my fieldH7704 that is in AnathothH6068: for the rightH4941 of redemptionH1353 is thine to buyH7069 it.
So HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 sonH1121 cameH935 to me in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto me, BuyH7069 my fieldH7704, I pray thee, that is in AnathothH6068, which is in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144: for the rightH4941 of inheritanceH3425 is thine, and the redemptionH1353 is thine; buyH7069 it for thyself. Then I knewH3045 that this was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And I boughtH7069 the fieldH7704 of HanameelH2601 my uncle'sH1730 sonH1121, that was in AnathothH6068, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701, even seventeenH7651+H6235 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. {seventeen…: or, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver}
And I subscribedH3789 the evidenceH5612, and sealedH2856 it, and tookH5749 witnessesH5707, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701 in the balancesH3976. {subscribed…: Heb. wrote in the book}
So I tookH3947 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both that which was sealedH2856 according to the lawH4687 and customH2706, and that which was openH1540:
And I gaveH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, in the sightH5869 of HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 son, and in the presenceH5869 of the witnessesH5707 that subscribedH3789 the bookH5612 of the purchaseH4736, beforeH5869 all the JewsH3064 that satH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.
And I chargedH6680 BaruchH1263 beforeH5869 them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; TakeH3947 these evidencesH5612, this evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both which is sealedH2856, and this evidenceH5612 which is openH1540; and putH5414 them in an earthenH2789 vesselH3627, that they may continueH5975 manyH7227 daysH3117.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; HousesH1004 and fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 shall be possessed againH7069 in this landH776.
Now whenH310 I had deliveredH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
Thou shewestH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 unto thousandsH505, and recompensestH7999 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 into the bosomH2436 of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: the GreatH1419, the MightyH1368 GodH410, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, is his nameH8034,
GreatH1419 in counselH6098, and mightyH7227 in workH5950: for thine eyesH5869 are openH6491 upon all the waysH1870 of the sonsH1121 of menH120: to giveH5414 every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611: {work: Heb. doing}
Which hast setH7760 signsH226 and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, and in IsraelH3478, and among other menH120; and hast madeH6213 thee a nameH8034, as at this dayH3117;
And hast brought forthH3318 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with signsH226, and with wondersH4159, and with a strongH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH248, and with greatH1419 terrorH4172;
And hast givenH5414 them this landH776, which thou didst swearH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706;
And they came inH935, and possessedH3423 it; but they obeyedH8085 not thy voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 in thy lawH8451; they have doneH6213 nothing of all that thou commandedstH6680 them to doH6213: therefore thou hast caused all this evilH7451 to comeH7122 upon them:
Behold the mountsH5550, they are comeH935 unto the cityH5892 to takeH3920 it; and the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against it, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719, and of the famineH7458, and of the pestilenceH1698: and what thou hast spokenH1696 is come to pass; and, behold, thou seestH7200 it. {mounts: or, engines of shot}
And thou hast saidH559 unto me, O LordH136 GODH3069, BuyH7069 thee the fieldH7704 for moneyH3701, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707; for the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. {for the: or, though the}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Behold, I am the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of all fleshH1320: is there any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for me?
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:
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.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have only doneH6213 evilH7451 beforeH5869 me from their youthH5271: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have only provoked me to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of their handsH3027, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For this cityH5892 hath been to me as a provocation of mine angerH639 and of my furyH2534 from the dayH3117 that they builtH1129 it even unto this dayH3117; that I should removeH5493 it from before my faceH6440, {a provocation…: Heb. for my anger}
Because of all the evilH7451 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, which they have doneH6213 to provoke me to angerH3707, they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030, and the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And they have turnedH6437 unto me the backH6203, and not the faceH6440: though I taughtH3925 them, rising up earlyH7925 and teachingH3925 them, yet they have not hearkenedH8085 to receiveH3947 instructionH4148. {back: Heb. neck}
But they setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to defileH2930 it.
And they builtH1129 the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, which are in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to cause their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fire unto MolechH4432; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820, that they should doH6213 this abominationH8441, to cause JudahH3063 to sinH2398.
And now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning this cityH5892, whereof ye sayH559, It shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698;
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
And they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430:
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredlyH571 with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. {assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Like as I have broughtH935 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, so will I bringH935 upon them all the goodH2896 that I have promisedH1696 them.
And fieldsH7704 shall be boughtH7069 in this landH776, whereof ye sayH559, It is desolateH8077 without manH120 or beastH929; it is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
Men shall buyH7069 fieldsH7704 for moneyH3701, and subscribeH3789 evidencesH5612, and sealH2856 them, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, and in the citiesH5892 of the valleyH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But this thingH1697 commandedH6680 I them, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and I will be your GodH430, and ye shall be my peopleH5971: and walkH1980 ye in all the waysH1870 that I have commandedH6680 you, that it may be wellH3190 unto you.
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye shall have doneG4160 allG3956 those things which are commandedG1299 youG5213, sayG3004+G3754, We areG2070 unprofitableG888 servantsG1401+G3754: we have doneG4160 that whichG3739 was our dutyG3784 to doG4160.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me, and will not doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687;
And if ye shall despiseH3988 my statutesH2708, or if your soulH5315 abhorH1602 my judgmentsH4941, so that ye will not doH6213 all my commandmentsH4687, but that ye breakH6565 my covenantH1285:
I also will doH6213 this unto you; I will even appointH6485 over you terrorH928, consumptionH7829, and the burning agueH6920, that shall consumeH3615 the eyesH5869, and cause sorrowH1727 of heartH5315: and ye shall sowH2232 your seedH2233 in vainH7385, for your enemiesH341 shall eatH398 it. {over: Heb. upon}
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against you, and ye shall be slainH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341: they that hateH8130 you shall reignH7287 over you; and ye shall fleeH5127 when none pursuethH7291 you.
And if ye will not yetH5704 for all this hearkenH8085 unto me, then I will punishH3256 you seven timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403.
And I will breakH7665 the prideH1347 of your powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your heavenH8064 as ironH1270, and your earthH776 as brassH5154:
And your strengthH3581 shall be spentH8552 in vainH7385: for your landH776 shall not yieldH5414 her increaseH2981, neither shall the treesH6086 of the landH776 yieldH5414 their fruitsH6529.
And if ye walkH3212 contraryH7147 unto me, and willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me; I will bringH3254 seven timesH7651 moreH3254 plaguesH4347 upon you according to your sinsH2403. {contrary…: or, at all adventures with me}
I will also sendH7971 wildH7704 beastsH2416 among you, which shall rob you of your childrenH7921, and destroyH3772 your cattleH929, and make you few in numberH4591; and your high waysH1870 shall be desolateH8074.
And if ye will not be reformedH3256 by me by these things, but will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then will I also walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you, and will punishH5221 you yetH1571 seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, that shall avengeH5358 the quarrelH5359 of my covenantH1285: and when ye are gathered togetherH622 withinH413 your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 the pestilenceH1698 amongH8432 you; and ye shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the enemyH341.
And when I have brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of your breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 shall bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they shall deliverH7725 you your breadH3899 againH7725 by weightH4948: and ye shall eatH398, and not be satisfiedH7646.
And if ye will not for all thisH2063 hearkenH8085 unto me, but walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
Then I will walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you also in furyH2534; and I, evenH637 I, will chastiseH3256 you seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
And ye shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323 shall ye eatH398.
And I will destroyH8045 your high placesH1116, and cut downH3772 your imagesH2553, and castH5414 your carcasesH6297 upon the carcasesH6297 of your idolsH1544, and my soulH5315 shall abhorH1602 you.
And I will makeH5414 your citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and bringH8074 your sanctuariesH4720 unto desolationH8074, and I will not smellH7306 the savourH7381 of your sweet odoursH5207.
And I will bringH8074 the landH776 into desolationH8074: and your enemiesH341 which dwellH3427 therein shall be astonishedH8074 at it.
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And they shall fallH3782 oneH376 upon anotherH251, as it were beforeH6440 a swordH2719, when none pursuethH7291: and ye shall have no power to standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
And ye shall perishH6 among the heathenH1471, and the landH776 of your enemiesH341 shall eat you upH398.
And they that are leftH7604 of you shall pine awayH4743 in their iniquityH5771 in your enemies'H341 landsH776; and also in the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1 shall they pine awayH4743 with them.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
And that I also have walkedH3212 contraryH7147 unto them, and have broughtH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH341; if thenH176 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartsH3824 be humbledH3665, and they then acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771:
Then will I rememberH2142 my covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and also my covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and also my covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 will I rememberH2142; and I will rememberH2142 the landH776.
The landH776 also shall be leftH5800 of them, and shall enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, while she lieth desolateH8074 without them: and they shall acceptH7521 of the punishment of their iniquityH5771: becauseH3282, even becauseH3282 they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and because their soulH5315 abhorredH1602 my statutesH2708.
And yetH637 for all thatH2063, when they beH1571 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, I will not cast them awayH3988, neither will I abhorH1602 them, to destroy them utterlyH3615, and to breakH6565 my covenantH1285 with them: for I am the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
But I will for their sakes rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of their ancestorsH7223, whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, that I might be their GodH430: I am the LORDH3068.
These are the statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941 and lawsH8451, which the LORDH3068 madeH5414 between him and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
But they hearkenedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 in the counselsH4156 and in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820, and went backwardH268, and not forwardH6440. {imagination: or, stubbornness} {went: Heb. were}
YeG5210 areG2075 myG3450 friendsG5384, ifG1437 ye doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 IG1473 commandG1781 youG5213.
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117; that all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and overtakeH5381 thee:
CursedH779 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704.
CursedH779 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy storeH4863.
CursedH779 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, and the flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629.
CursedH779 shalt thou be when thou comest inH935, and cursedH779 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 upon thee cursingH3994, vexationH4103, and rebukeH4045, in all that thou settestH4916 thine handH3027 unto for to doH6213, until thou be destroyedH8045, and until thou perishH6 quicklyH4118; becauseH6440 of the wickednessH7455 of thy doingsH4611, whereby thou hast forsakenH5800 me. {for…: Heb. which thou wouldest do}
The LORDH3068 shall make the pestilenceH1698 cleaveH1692 unto thee, until he have consumedH3615 thee from off the landH127, whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with a consumptionH7829, and with a feverH6920, and with an inflammationH1816, and with an extreme burningH2746, and with the swordH2719, and with blastingH7711, and with mildewH3420; and they shall pursueH7291 thee until thou perishH6. {sword: or, drought}
And thy heavenH8064 that is over thy headH7218 shall be brassH5178, and the earthH776 that is under thee shall be ironH1270.
The LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 the rainH4306 of thy landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083: from heavenH8064 shall it come downH3381 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045.
The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thee to be smittenH5062 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341: thou shalt go outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 against them, and fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them: and shalt be removedH2189 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {removed: Heb. for a removing}
And thy carcaseH5038 shall be meatH3978 unto all fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and unto the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and no man shall fray them awayH2729.
The LORDH3068 will smiteH5221 thee with the botchH7822 of EgyptH4714, and with the emerodsH2914+H6076, and with the scabH1618, and with the itchH2775, whereof thou canstH3201 not be healedH7495.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and blindnessH5788, and astonishmentH8541 of heartH3824:
And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.
Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7901+H7693 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof. {gather…: Heb. profane, or, use it as common meat}
Thine oxH7794 shall be slainH2873 before thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt not eatH398 thereof: thine assH2543 shall be violently taken awayH1497 from before thy faceH6440, and shall not be restoredH7725 to thee: thy sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 unto thine enemiesH341, and thou shalt have none to rescueH3467 them. {shall not…: Heb. shall not return to thee}
Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and failH3616 with longing for them all the dayH3117 long: and there shall be no mightH410 in thine handH3027.
The fruitH6529 of thy landH127, and all thy laboursH3018, shall a nationH5971 which thou knowestH3045 not eat upH398; and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 alwayH3117:
So that thou shalt be madH7696 for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee in the kneesH1290, and in the legsH7785, with a soreH7451 botchH7822 that cannotH3201 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 unto the top of thy headH6936.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH3212 thee, and thy kingH4428 which thou shalt setH6965 over thee, unto a nationH1471 which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045; and there shalt thou serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And thou shalt become an astonishmentH8047, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH8148, among all nationsH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall leadH5090 thee.
Thou shalt carryH3318 muchH7227 seedH2233 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, and shalt gatherH622 but littleH4592 inH622; for the locustH697 shall consumeH2628 it.
Thou shalt plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and dressH5647 them, but shalt neither drinkH8354 of the wineH3196, nor gatherH103 the grapes; for the wormsH8438 shall eatH398 them.
Thou shalt have olive treesH2132 throughout all thy coastsH1366, but thou shalt not anointH5480 thyself with the oilH8081; for thine oliveH2132 shall castH5394 his fruit.
Thou shalt begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall goH3212 into captivityH7628. {thou shalt not…: Heb. they shall not be thine}
All thy treesH6086 and fruitH6529 of thy landH127 shall the locustH6767 consumeH3423. {consume: or, possess}
The strangerH1616 that is withinH7130 thee shall get upH5927 above thee veryH4605 highH4605; and thou shalt come downH3381 veryH4295 lowH4295.
He shall lendH3867 to thee, and thou shalt not lendH3867 to him: he shall be the headH7218, and thou shalt be the tailH2180.
Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou be destroyedH8045; because thou hearkenedstH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee:
And they shall be upon thee for a signH226 and for a wonderH4159, and upon thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
Because thou servedstH5647 not the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serveH5647 thine enemiesH341 which the LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 against thee, in hungerH7458, and in thirstH6772, and in nakednessH5903, and in wantH2640 of all things: and he shall putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon thy neckH6677, until he have destroyedH8045 thee.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 against thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as swift as the eagleH5404 fliethH1675; a nationH1471 whose tongueH3956 thou shalt not understandH8085; {understand: Heb. hear}
A nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, which shall not regardH5375 the personH6440 of the oldH2205, nor shew favourH2603 to the youngH5288: {of fierce…: Heb. strong of face}
And he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, until thou be destroyedH8045: which also shall not leaveH7604 thee either cornH1715, wineH8492, or oilH3323, or the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, or flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629, until he have destroyedH6 thee.
And he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and fencedH1219 wallsH2346 come downH3381, whereinH2004 thou trustedstH982, throughout all thy landH776: and he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179 throughout all thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.
And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee: {body: Heb. belly}
So that the manH376 that is tenderH7390 among you, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnantH3499 of his childrenH1121 which he shall leaveH3498:
So that he will not giveH5414 to anyH259 of them of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whom he shall eatH398: because he hath nothing leftH7604 him in the siegeH4692, and in the straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee in all thy gatesH8179.
The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 woman among you, which would not adventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and tendernessH7391, her eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and toward her sonH1121, and toward her daughterH1323,
And toward her young oneH7988 that cometh outH3318 from between her feetH7272, and toward her childrenH1121 which she shall bearH3205: for she shall eatH398 them for wantH2640 of all things secretlyH5643 in the siegeH4692 and straitnessH4689, wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH6693 thee in thy gatesH8179. {young one: Heb. afterbirth}
If thou wilt not observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, that thou mayest fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearfulH3372 nameH8034, THE LORDH3068 THY GODH430;
Then the LORDH3068 will makeH6381 thy plaguesH4347 wonderfulH6381, and the plaguesH4347 of thy seedH2233, even greatH1419 plaguesH4347, and of long continuanceH539, and soreH7451 sicknessesH2483, and of long continuanceH539.
Moreover he will bringH7725 upon thee all the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, which thou wast afraidH3025 ofH6440; and they shall cleaveH1692 unto thee.
Also every sicknessH2483, and every plagueH4347, which is not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this lawH8451, them will the LORDH3068 bringH5927 upon thee, until thou be destroyedH8045. {bring: Heb. cause to ascend}
And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, whereasH834 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; because thou wouldest not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORDH3068 rejoicedH7797 over you to do you goodH3190, and to multiplyH7235 you; so the LORDH3068 will rejoiceH7797 over you to destroyH6 you, and to bring you to noughtH8045; and ye shall be pluckedH5255 from off the landH127 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among all peopleH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the otherH7097; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045, even woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
And thy lifeH2416 shall hangH8511 in doubt beforeH5048 thee; and thou shalt fearH6342 dayH3119 and nightH3915, and shalt have none assuranceH539 of thy lifeH2416:
In the morningH1242 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 evenH6153! and at evenH6153 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 morningH1242! for the fearH6343 of thine heartH3824 wherewith thou shalt fearH6342, and for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
And the LORDH3068 shall bringH7725 thee into EgyptH4714 againH7725 with shipsH591, by the wayH1870 whereof I spakeH559 unto thee, Thou shalt seeH7200 it no more againH3254: and there ye shall be soldH4376 unto your enemiesH341 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198, and no man shall buyH7069 you.
How thou didst drive outH3423 the heathenH1471 with thy handH3027, and plantedstH5193 them; how thou didst afflictH7489 the peopleH3816, and cast them outH7971.
For I earnestlyH5749 protestedH5749 unto your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, rising earlyH7925 and protestingH5749, sayingH559, ObeyH8085 my voiceH6963.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
When ye have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680 you, and have goneH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.
For they gotH3423 not the landH776 in possessionH3423 by their own swordH2719, neither did their own armH2220 saveH3467 them: but thy right handH3225, and thine armH2220, and the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440, because thou hadst a favourH7521 unto them.
Yet they obeyedH8085 not, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but walkedH3212 every oneH376 in the imaginationH8307 of their evilH7451 heartH3820: therefore I will bringH935 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, which I commandedH6680 them to doH6213; but they didH6213 them not. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 shall keepG5083 the wholeG3650 lawG3551, and yetG1161 offendG4417 inG1722 oneG1520 point, he isG1096 guiltyG1777 of allG3956.
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168:
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and followedH3212+H310 otherH312 godsH430, of the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 that were round aboutH5439 them, and bowedH7812 themselves unto them, and provoked the LORDH3068 to angerH3707.
And they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalH1168 and AshtarothH6252.
JerusalemH3389 hath grievouslyH2399 sinnedH2398; therefore she is removedH5206: all that honouredH3513 her despiseH2107 her, because they have seenH7200 her nakednessH6172: yea, she sighethH584, and turnethH7725 backwardH268. {is…: Heb. is become a removing, or, wandering}
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 againH3254 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168, and AshtarothH6252, and the godsH430 of SyriaH758, and the godsH430 of ZidonH6721, and the godsH430 of MoabH4124, and the godsH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the godsH430 of the PhilistinesH6430, and forsookH5800 the LORDH3068, and servedH5647 not him.
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he soldH4376 them into the handsH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and into the handsH3027 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And that yearH8141 they vexedH7492 and oppressedH7533 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: eighteenH8083+H6240 yearsH8141, all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, which is in GileadH1568. {oppressed: Heb. crushed}
Moreover the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 passed overH5674 JordanH3383 to fightH3898 also against JudahH3063, and against BenjaminH1144, and against the houseH1004 of EphraimH669; so that IsraelH3478 was soreH3966 distressedH3334.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398 against thee, both because we have forsakenH5800 our GodH430, and also servedH5647 BaalimH1168.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Did not I deliver you from the EgyptiansH4714, and from the AmoritesH567, from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and from the PhilistinesH6430?
The ZidoniansH6722 also, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the MaonitesH4584, did oppressH3905 you; and ye criedH6817 to me, and I deliveredH3467 you out of their handH3027.
Yet ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430: wherefore I will deliverH3467 you no moreH3254.
GoH3212 and cryH2199 unto the godsH430 which ye have chosenH977; let themH1992 deliverH3467 you in the timeH6256 of your tribulationH6869.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, We have sinnedH2398: doH6213 thou unto us whatsoever seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee; deliverH5337 us only, we pray thee, this dayH3117. {seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes}
And they put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 from amongH7130 them, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068: and his soulH5315 was grievedH7114 for the miseryH5999 of IsraelH3478. {strange…: Heb. gods of strangers} {grieved: Heb. shortened}
Then the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 were gathered togetherH6817, and encampedH2583 in GileadH1568. And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 assembled themselves togetherH622, and encampedH2583 in MizpehH4709. {gathered: Heb. cried}
And the peopleH5971 and princesH8269 of GileadH1568 saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, What manH376 is he that will beginH2490 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983? he shall be headH7218 over all the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.
The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662; for I have rebelledH4784 against his commandmentH6310: hearH8085, I pray you, all peopleH5971, and beholdH7200 my sorrowH4341: my virginsH1330 and my young menH970 are goneH1980 into captivityH7628. {commandment: Heb. mouth}
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
Since the daysH3117 of our fathersH1 have we been in a greatH1419 trespassH819 unto this dayH3117; and for our iniquitiesH5771 have we, our kingsH4428, and our priestsH3548, been deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of the landsH776, to the swordH2719, to captivityH7628, and to a spoilH961, and to confusionH1322 of faceH6440, as it is this dayH3117.
The crownH5850 is fallenH5307 from our headH7218: woeH188 unto us, that we have sinnedH2398! {The…: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}
That they might observeH8104 his statutesH2706, and keepH5341 his lawsH8451. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
We have sinnedH2398, and have committed iniquityH5753, and have done wickedlyH7561, and have rebelledH4775, even by departingH5493 from thy preceptsH4687 and from thy judgmentsH4941:
Neither have we hearkenedH8085 unto thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, which spakeH1696 in thy nameH8034 to our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, and our fathersH1, and to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
Neither have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his lawsH8451, which he setH5414 beforeH6440 us byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
Yea, all IsraelH3478 have transgressedH5674 thy lawH8451, even by departingH5493, that they might not obeyH8085 thy voiceH6963; therefore the curseH423 is pouredH5413 upon us, and the oathH7621 that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430, because we have sinnedH2398 against him.
And he hath confirmedH6965 his wordsH1697, which he spakeH1696 against us, and against our judgesH8199 that judgedH8199 us, by bringingH935 upon us a greatH1419 evilH7451: for under the whole heavenH8064 hath not been doneH6213 as hath been doneH6213 upon JerusalemH3389.
As it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, all this evilH7451 is comeH935 upon us: yet made we not our prayerH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, that we might turnH7725 from our iniquitiesH5771, and understandH7919 thy truthH571. {made…: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORDH3068 watchedH8245 upon the evilH7451, and broughtH935 it upon us: for the LORDH3068 our GodH430 is righteousH6662 in all his worksH4639 which he doethH6213: for we obeyedH8085 not his voiceH6963.
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
