Then ShephatiahH8203 the sonH1121 of MattanH4977, and GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of PashurH6583, and JucalH3116 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, and PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of MalchiahH4441, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that JeremiahH3414 had spokenH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, He that remainethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth forthH3318 to the ChaldeansH3778 shall liveH2421; for he shall have his lifeH5315 for a preyH7998, and shall liveH2421+H2425.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, This cityH5892 shall surelyH5414 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428, which shall takeH3920 it.
Therefore the princesH8269 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, We beseech thee, let this manH376 be put to deathH4191: for thusH3651 he weakenethH7503 the handsH3027 of the menH582 of warH4421 that remainH7604 in this cityH5892, and the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971, in speakingH1696 such wordsH1697 unto them: for this manH376 seekethH1875 not the welfareH7965 of this peopleH5971, but the hurtH7451. {welfare: Heb. peace}
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559, Behold, he is in your handH3027: for the kingH4428 is not he that canH3201 do any thingH1697 against you.
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}
Now when EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, oneH376 of the eunuchsH5631 which was in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085 that they had putH5414 JeremiahH3414 in the dungeonH953; the kingH4428 then sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144;
EbedmelechH5663 went forthH3318 out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and spakeH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559,
My lordH113 the kingH4428, these menH582 have done evilH7489 in all that they have doneH6213 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whom they have castH7993 into the dungeonH953; and he is like to dieH4191 forH6440 hungerH7458 in the placeH8478 where he is: for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892. {he is like…: Heb. he will die}
Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, TakeH3947 from hence thirtyH7970 menH582 with theeH3027, and take upH5927 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 out of the dungeonH953, before he dieH4191. {with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
So EbedmelechH5663 tookH3947 the menH582 with himH3027, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 under the treasuryH214, and tookH3947 thence oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and oldH1094 rotten ragsH4418, and let them downH7971 by cordsH2256 into the dungeonH953 to JeremiahH3414.
And EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, PutH7760 now these oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and rotten ragsH4418 under thine armholesH679+H3027 under the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 didH6213 so.
So they drew upH4900 JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256, and took him upH5927 out of the dungeonH953: and JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.
Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 unto him into the thirdH7992 entryH3996 that is in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I will askH7592 thee a thingH1697; hideH3582 nothing from me. {third: or, principal}
Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto ZedekiahH6667, If I declareH5046 it unto thee, wilt thou not surelyH4191 put me to deathH4191? and if I give thee counselH3289, wilt thou not hearkenH8085 unto me?
So ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 swareH7650 secretlyH5643 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that madeH6213 us this soulH5315, I will not put thee to deathH4191, neither will I giveH5414 thee into the handH3027 of these menH582 that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315.
Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414 unto ZedekiahH6667, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; If thou wilt assuredlyH3318 go forthH3318 unto the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421, and this cityH5892 shall not be burnedH8313 with fireH784; and thou shalt liveH2421, and thine houseH1004:
But if thou wilt not go forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then shall this cityH5892 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they shall burnH8313 it with fireH784, and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027.
And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraidH1672 of the JewsH3064 that are fallenH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, lest they deliverH5414 me into their handH3027, and they mockH5953 me.
But JeremiahH3414 saidH559, They shall not deliverH5414 thee. ObeyH8085, I beseech thee, the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, which I speakH1696 unto thee: so it shall be wellH3190 unto thee, and thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421.
But if thou refuseH3986 to go forthH3318, this is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me:
And, behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004 shall be brought forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, and those women shall sayH559, Thy friendsH582+H7965 have set thee onH5496, and have prevailedH3201 against thee: thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mireH1206, and they are turned awayH5472 backH268. {Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}
So they shall bring outH3318 all thy wivesH802 and thy childrenH1121 to the ChaldeansH3778: and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027, but shalt be takenH8610 by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313 with fireH784. {thou shalt cause…: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc}
Then saidH559 ZedekiahH6667 unto JeremiahH3414, Let no manH376 knowH3045 of these wordsH1697, and thou shalt not dieH4191.
But if the princesH8269 hearH8085 that I have talkedH1696 with thee, and they comeH935 unto thee, and sayH559 unto thee, DeclareH5046 unto us now what thou hast saidH1696 unto the kingH4428, hideH3582 it not from us, and we will not put thee to deathH4191; also what the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto thee:
Then thou shalt sayH559 unto them, I presentedH5307 my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, that he would not cause me to returnH7725 to Jonathan'sH3083 houseH1004, to dieH4191 there.
Then cameH935 all the princesH8269 unto JeremiahH3414, and askedH7592 him: and he toldH5046 them according to all these wordsH1697 that the kingH4428 had commandedH6680. So they left off speakingH2790 with him; for the matterH1697 was not perceivedH8085. {they…: Heb. they were silent from him}
So JeremiahH3414 abodeH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 until the dayH3117 that JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920: and he was there when JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920.

Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414 unto ZedekiahH6667, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; If thou wilt assuredlyH3318 go forthH3318 unto the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421, and this cityH5892 shall not be burnedH8313 with fireH784; and thou shalt liveH2421, and thine houseH1004:

And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraidH1672 of the JewsH3064 that are fallenH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778, lest they deliverH5414 me into their handH3027, and they mockH5953 me.

But if thou refuseH3986 to go forthH3318, this is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 me:
And, behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004 shall be brought forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, and those women shall sayH559, Thy friendsH582+H7965 have set thee onH5496, and have prevailedH3201 against thee: thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mireH1206, and they are turned awayH5472 backH268. {Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}
So they shall bring outH3318 all thy wivesH802 and thy childrenH1121 to the ChaldeansH3778: and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027, but shalt be takenH8610 by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313 with fireH784. {thou shalt cause…: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc}
He that abidethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth outH3318, and fallethH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegeH6696 you, he shall liveH2421+H2421, and his lifeH5315 shall be unto him for a preyH7998.
And unto this peopleH5971 thou shalt sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I setH5414 beforeH6440 you the wayH1870 of lifeH2416, and the wayH1870 of deathH4194.
For I will surelyH4422 deliverH4422 thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307 by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall be for a preyH7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trustH982 in me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He that abidethH3427 in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth outH3318, and fallethH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegeH6696 you, he shall liveH2421+H2421, and his lifeH5315 shall be unto him for a preyH7998.
And seekestH1245 thou great thingsH1419 for thyself? seekH1245 them not: for, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon all fleshH1320, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but thy lifeH5315 will I giveH5414 unto thee for a preyH7998 in all placesH4725 whither thou goestH3212.
And as the evilH7451 figsH8384, which cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455; surely thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, So will I giveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his princesH8269, and the residueH7611 of JerusalemH3389, that remainH7604 in this landH776, and them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
Why will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 against the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894?
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}
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}
So shall it be with all the menH582 that setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; they shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: and none of them shall remainH8300 or escapeH6412 fromH6440 the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon them. {So…: Heb. So shall all the men be}
Now therefore knowH3045 certainlyH3045 that ye shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, in the placeH4725 whither ye desireH2654 to goH935 and to sojournH1481. {to go…: or, to go to sojourn}
For I will punishH6485 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698:
A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219 a third partH7992 into all the windsH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplishedH3615, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon them, and I will be comfortedH5162: and they shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it in my zealH7068, when I have accomplishedH3615 my furyH2534 in them.
Moreover I will makeH5414 thee wasteH2723, and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, in the sightH5869 of all that pass byH5674.
So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a tauntH1422, an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH4923 unto the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, when I shall executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in thee in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in furiousH2534 rebukesH8433. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
When I shall sendH7971 upon them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famineH7458, which shall be for their destructionH4889, and which I will sendH7971 to destroyH7843 you: and I will increaseH3254 the famineH7458 upon you, and will breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899:
So will I sendH7971 upon you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beastsH2416, and they shall bereaveH7921 thee; and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall pass throughH5674 thee; and I will bringH935 the swordH2719 upon thee. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; SmiteH5221 with thine handH3709, and stampH7554 with thy footH7272, and sayH559, AlasH253 for all the evilH7451 abominationsH8441 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478! for they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698.
The swordH2719 is withoutH2351, and the pestilenceH1698 and the famineH7458 withinH1004: he that is in the fieldH7704 shall dieH4191 with the swordH2719; and he that is in the cityH5892, famineH7458 and pestilenceH1698 shall devourH398 him.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971 my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772 from it manH120 and beastH929? {How…: or, Also when}
ForG1063 nationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932: andG2532 there shall beG2071 faminesG3042, andG2532 pestilencesG3061, andG2532 earthquakesG4578, in diversG2596 placesG5117.
AndG2532 there went outG1831 anotherG243 horseG2462 that was redG4450: andG2532 power was givenG1325 to himG846 that satG2521 thereonG1909+G846 to takeG2983 peaceG1515 fromG575 the earthG1093, andG2532 thatG2443 they should killG4969 one anotherG240: andG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a greatG3173 swordG3162.
AndG2532 whenG3753 he had openedG455 the thirdG5154 sealG4973, I heardG191 the thirdG5154 beastG2226 sayG3004, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG991. AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 loG2400 a blackG3189 horseG2462; andG2532 he that satG2521 onG1909 himG846 hadG2192 a pair of balancesG2218 inG1722 hisG846 handG5495.
AndG2532 I heardG191 a voiceG5456 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the fourG5064 beastsG2226 sayG3004, A measureG5518 of wheatG4621 for a pennyG1220, andG2532 threeG5140 measuresG5518 of barleyG2915 for a pennyG1220; andG2532 see thou hurtG91 notG3361 the oilG1637 andG2532 the wineG3631. {A measure: the word choenix signifieth a measure containing one wine quart, and the twelfth part of a quart}
AndG2532 whenG3753 he had openedG455 the fourthG5067 sealG4973, I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of the fourthG5067 beastG2226 sayG3004, ComeG2064 andG2532 seeG991.
AndG2532 I lookedG1492, andG2532 beholdG2400 a paleG5515 horseG2462: andG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 that satG2521 onG1883 himG846 was DeathG2288, andG2532 HellG86 followedG190 withG3326 himG846. AndG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto themG846 overG1909 the fourth partG5067 of the earthG1093, to killG615 withG1722 swordG4501, andG2532 withG1722 hungerG3042, andG2532 withG1722 deathG2288, andG2532 withG5259 the beastsG2342 of the earthG1093. {unto them: or, to him}
