And kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 reignedH4427 instead of ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made kingH4427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063.
But neither he, nor his servantsH5650, nor the peopleH5971 of the landH776, did hearkenH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414. {by…: Heb. by the hand of the prophet}
And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018 and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, PrayH6419 now unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for us.
Now JeremiahH3414 came inH935 and went outH3318 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: for they had not putH5414 him into prisonH1004+H3628.
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come againH7725, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DeceiveH5377 not yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 shall surelyH1980 departH3212 from us: for they shall not departH3212. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
And it came to pass, that when the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 was broken upH5927 from JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, {broken…: Heb. made to ascend}
Then JeremiahH3414 went forthH3318 out of JerusalemH3389 to goH3212 into the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, to separateH2505 himself thence in the midstH8432 of the peopleH5971. {separate…: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people}
And when he was in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captainH1167 of the wardH6488 was there, whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608; and he tookH8610 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thou fallest awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778.
Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414, It is falseH8267; I fall not awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778. But he hearkenedH8085 not to him: so IrijahH3376 tookH8610 JeremiahH3414, and broughtH935 him to the princesH8269. {false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie}
Wherefore the princesH8269 were wrothH7107 with JeremiahH3414, and smoteH5221 him, and putH5414 him in prisonH612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608: for they had madeH6213 that the prisonH3608.
When JeremiahH3414 was enteredH935 into the dungeonH1004+H953, and into the cabinsH2588, and JeremiahH3414 had remainedH3427 there manyH7227 daysH3117; {cabins: or, cells}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971, and took him outH3947: and the kingH4428 askedH7592 him secretlyH5643 in his houseH1004, and saidH559, Is there any wordH1697 from the LORDH3068? And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, There isH3426: for, saidH559 he, thou shalt be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667, What have I offendedH2398 against thee, or against thy servantsH5650, or against this peopleH5971, that ye have putH5414 me in prisonH1004+H3608?
Where are nowH346 your prophetsH5030 which prophesiedH5012 unto you, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall not comeH935 against you, nor against this landH776?
Therefore hearH8085 now, I pray thee, O my lordH113 the kingH4428: let my supplicationH8467, I pray thee, be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee; that thou cause me not to returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608, lest I dieH4191 there. {let…: Heb. let my supplication fall}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 that they should commitH6485 JeremiahH3414 into the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and that they should giveH5414 him dailyH3117 a pieceH3603 of breadH3899 out of the bakers'H644 streetH2351, until all the breadH3899 in the cityH5892 were spentH8552. Thus JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.

Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.
EnquireH1875, I pray thee, of the LORDH3068 for usH1157; for NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 maketh warH3898 against us; if so be that the LORDH3068 will dealH6213 with us according to all his wondrous worksH6381, that he may go upH5927 from us.
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
But to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 which sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, thus shall ye sayH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, As touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781.
The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from whence come the youngH3833 and old lionH3918, the viperH660 and fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young assesH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunchesH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them.
WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
As for us, our eyesH5869 as yet failedH3615 for our vainH1892 helpH5833: in our watchingH6836 we have watchedH6822 for a nationH1471 that could not saveH3467 us.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
And all the inhabitantsH3427 of EgyptH4714 shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, because they have been a staffH4938 of reedH7070 to the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
