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.

Shall I not visitH6485 for these things? saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and shall not my soulH5315 be avengedH5358 on such a nationH1471 as this?
Go ye upH5927 upon her wallsH8284, and destroyH7843; but makeH6213 not a full endH3617: take awayH5493 her battlementsH5189; for they are not the LORD'SH3068.
For the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have dealt veryH898 treacherouslyH898 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to remove you farH7368 from your landH127; and that I should drive you outH5080, and ye should perishH6.
For thus hath the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 saidH559, Hew ye downH3772 treesH6097, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against JerusalemH3389: this is the cityH5892 to be visitedH6485; she is wholly oppressionH6233 in the midstH7130 of her. {cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will removeH5493 JudahH3063 also out of my sightH6440, as I have removedH5493 IsraelH3478, and will cast offH3988 this cityH5892 JerusalemH3389 which I have chosenH977, and the houseH1004 of which I saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there.
As a fountainH953 casteth outH6979 her watersH4325, so she casteth outH6979 her wickednessH7451: violenceH2555 and spoilH7701 is heardH8085 in her; before meH6440 continuallyH8548 is griefH2483 and woundsH4347.
Surely at the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 came this upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493 them out of his sightH6440, for the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, according to all that he didH6213;
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
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}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, In JerusalemH3389 will I putH7760 my nameH8034.
And he builtH1129 altarsH4196 for all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 in the twoH8147 courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And he made his sonH1121 passH5674 through the fireH784, and observed timesH6049, and used enchantmentsH5172, and dealtH6213 with familiar spiritsH178 and wizardsH3049: he wroughtH6213 muchH7235 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707.
And he setH7760 a graven imageH6459 of the groveH842 that he had madeH6213 in the houseH1004, of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010 his sonH1121, In this houseH1004, and in JerusalemH3389, which I have chosenH977 out of all tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, will I putH7760 my nameH8034 for everH5769:
Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
Moreover the altarH4196 that was at BethelH1008, and the high placeH1116 which JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398, had madeH6213, both that altarH4196 and the high placeH1116 he brake downH5422, and burnedH8313 the high placeH1116, and stampedH1854 it small to powderH6083, and burnedH8313 the groveH842.
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
Then sayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, The cityH5892 sheddethH8210 bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of it, that her timeH6256 may comeH935, and makethH6213 idolsH1544 against herself to defileH2930 herself.
Thou art become guiltyH816 in thy bloodH1818 that thou hast shedH8210; and hast defiledH2930 thyself in thine idolsH1544 which thou hast madeH6213; and thou hast caused thy daysH3117 to draw nearH7126, and art comeH935 even unto thy yearsH8141: therefore have I madeH5414 thee a reproachH2781 unto the heathenH1471, and a mockingH7048 to all countriesH776.
Those that be nearH7138, and those that be farH7350 from thee, shall mockH7046 thee, which art infamousH2931+H8034 and muchH7227 vexedH4103. {infamous…: Heb. polluted of name, much in vexation}
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
In thee have they discoveredH1540 their fathers'H1 nakednessH6172: in thee have they humbledH6031 her that was set apartH5079 for pollutionH2931.
And oneH376 hath committedH6213 abominationH8441 with his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802; and anotherH376 hath lewdlyH2154 defiledH2930 his daughter in lawH3618; and anotherH376 in thee hath humbledH6031 his sisterH269, his father'sH1 daughterH1323. {one: or, every one} {another: or, every one} {lewdly: or, by lewdness}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Behold, therefore I have smittenH5221 mine handH3709 at thy dishonest gainH1215 which thou hast madeH6213, and at thy bloodH1818 which hath been in the midstH8432 of thee.
Can thine heartH3820 endureH5975, or can thine handsH3027 be strongH2388, in the daysH3117 that I shall dealH6213 with thee? I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, and will doH6213 it.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, thou that killestG615 the prophetsG4396, andG2532 stonestG3036 them which are sentG649 untoG4314 theeG846, how oftenG4212 would IG2309 have gatheredG1996 thyG4675+G3739 childrenG5043 togetherG1996, even asG5158 a henG3733 gatherethG1996 herG1438 chickensG3556 underG5259 her wingsG4420, andG2532 ye wouldG2309 notG3756!
NeverthelessG4133 IG3165 mustG1163 walkG4198 to dayG4594, andG2532 to morrowG839, andG2532 the day followingG2192: forG3754 it cannot beG3756+G1735 that a prophetG4396 perishG622 out ofG1854 JerusalemG2419.
