The wordH1697 which came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, when NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and all his armyH2428, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 of his dominionH3027+H4475, and all the peopleH5971, foughtH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 thereof, sayingH559, {of his…: Heb. the dominion of his hand}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; GoH1980 and speakH559 to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and tellH559 him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784:
And thou shalt not escape outH4422 of his handH3027, but shalt surelyH8610 be takenH8610, and deliveredH5414 into his handH3027; and thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 the eyesH5869 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall speakH1696 with thee mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and thou shalt goH935 to BabylonH894. {he shall…: Heb. his mouth shall speak to thy mouth}
Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of thee, Thou shalt not dieH4191 by the swordH2719:
But thou shalt dieH4191 in peaceH7965: and with the burningsH4955 of thy fathersH1, the formerH7223 kingsH4428 which were beforeH6440 thee, so shall they burnH8313 odours for thee; and they will lamentH5594 thee, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! for I have pronouncedH1696 the wordH1697, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389,
When the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 foughtH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 that were leftH3498, against LachishH3923, and against AzekahH5825: for these defencedH4013 citiesH5892 remainedH7604 of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
This is the wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 which were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 unto them;
That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971 freeH2670, that none should serveH5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971.
But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533+H3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, sayingH559,
At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376 unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not unto me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241. {hath been…: or, hath sold himself}
And ye were nowH3117 turnedH7725, and had doneH6213 rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: {now: Heb. to day} {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
But ye turnedH7725 and pollutedH2490 my nameH8034, and caused every manH376 his servantH5650, and every manH376 his handmaidH8198, whom ye had setH7971 at libertyH2670 at their pleasureH5315, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533, to be unto you for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
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.

But there was none like unto AhabH256, which did sellH4376 himself to workH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, whom JezebelH348 his wifeH802 stirred upH5496. {stirred…: or, incited}
Since the dayH3117 that your fathersH1 came forth outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117 I have even sentH7971 unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, dailyH3117 rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them:
That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Where is the billH5612 of your mother'sH517 divorcementH3748, whom I have put awayH7971? or which of my creditorsH5383 is it to whom I have soldH4376 you? Behold, for your iniquitiesH5771 have ye soldH4376 yourselves, and for your transgressionsH6588 is your motherH517 put awayH7971.
Yet they hearkenedH8085 not unto me, nor inclinedH5186 their earH241, but hardenedH7185 their neckH6203: they did worseH7489 than their fathersH1.
Now these are the judgmentsH4941 which thou shalt setH7760 beforeH6440 them.
If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.
If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH1167+H802, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him. {by himself: Heb. with his body}
If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master'sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610.
ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266.
ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 do IG4160. {allow: Gr. know}
IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570.
NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
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}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, A conspiracyH7195 is foundH4672 among the menH376 of JudahH3063, and among the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
They are turned backH7725 to the iniquitiesH5771 of their forefathersH7223+H1, which refusedH3985 to hearH8085 my wordsH1697; and they wentH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them: the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have brokenH6565 my covenantH1285 which I madeH3772 with their fathersH1.
And sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy landH776, and shalt gatherH622 in the fruitsH8393 thereof:
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
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.
But the seventhH7637 year thou shalt let it restH8058 and lieH5203 still; that the poorH34 of thy peopleH5971 may eatH398: and what they leaveH3499 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398. In like manner thou shalt dealH6213 with thy vineyardH3754, and with thy oliveyardH2132. {oliveyard: or, olive trees}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in all that they sayH559 unto thee: for they have not rejectedH3988 thee, but they have rejectedH3988 me, that I should not reignH4427 over them.
And if thy brotherH251, an Hebrew manH5680, or an Hebrew womanH5680, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee.
According to all the worksH4639 which they have doneH6213 since the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 even unto this dayH3117, wherewith they have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, so doH6213 they also unto thee.
But of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did SolomonH8010 makeH5414 no bondmenH5650: but they were menH582 of warH4421, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his captainsH7991, and rulersH8269 of his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
Yet the LORDH3068 testifiedH5749 against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, byH3027 all the prophetsH5030, and by all the seersH2374, sayingH559, TurnH7725 ye from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708, according to all the lawH8451 which I commandedH6680 your fathersH1, and which I sentH7971 to you byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And now ye purposeH559 to keep underH3533 the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 for bondmenH5650 and bondwomenH8198 unto you: but are there not with you, evenH7535 with you, sinsH819 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Is not this the fastH6685 that I have chosenH977? to looseH6605 the bandsH2784 of wickednessH7562, to undoH5425 the heavyH4133 burdensH92, and to let the oppressedH7533 goH7971 freeH2670, and that ye breakH5423 every yokeH4133? {the heavy…: Heb. the bundles of the yoke} {oppressed: Heb. broken}
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832. {remedy: Heb. healing}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
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}
That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
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.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
