In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, cameH935 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and all his armyH2428 against JerusalemH3389, and they besiegedH6696 it.
And in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the cityH5892 was broken upH1234.
And all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935, and satH3427 in the middleH8432 gateH8179, even NergalsharezerH5371, SamgarneboH5562, SarsechimH8310, RabsarisH7249, NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, with all the residueH7611 of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass, that when ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 them, and all the menH582 of warH4421, then they fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the king'sH4428 gardenH1588, by the gateH8179 betwixt the two wallsH2346: and he went outH3318 the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the Chaldeans'H3778 armyH2428 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947 him, they brought him upH5927 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake with him judgments}
Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him with chainsH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894. {with…: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 into BabylonH894 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to him, with the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604. {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1800 of the peopleH5971, which had nothingH3972, in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and gaveH5414 them vineyardsH3754 and fieldsH3010 at the same timeH3117. {at the…: Heb. in that day}
Now NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave chargeH6680 concerning JeremiahH3414 toH3027 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, sayingH559, {to: Heb. by the hand of}
TakeH3947 him, and look wellH5869+H7760 to him, and doH6213 him no harmH3972+H7451; but doH6213 unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto thee. {look…: Heb. set thine eyes upon him}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 sentH7971, and NebushasbanH5021, RabsarisH7249, and NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, and all the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH7227;
Even they sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and committedH5414 him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carryH3318 him homeH1004: so he dweltH3427 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, while he was shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and speakH559 to EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished in that dayH3117 beforeH6440 thee.
But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016.
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.

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.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, Because ye speakH1696 this wordH1697, behold, I will makeH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310 fireH784, and this peopleH5971 woodH6086, and it shall devourH398 them.
And shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Even soH3602 will I breakH7665 this peopleH5971 and this cityH5892, as one breakethH7665 a potter'sH3335 vesselH3627, that cannotH3201 be made whole againH7495: and they shall buryH6912 them in TophetH8612, till there be no placeH4725 to buryH6912. {be made…: Heb. be healed}
Because thou hast madeH7760 the LORDH3068, which is my refugeH4268, even the most HighH5945, thy habitationH4583;
Thus will I doH6213 unto this placeH4725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and to the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and even makeH5414 this cityH5892 as TophetH8612:
Mine eyeH5869 also shall seeH5027 my desire on mine enemiesH7790, and mine earsH241 shall hearH8085 my desire of the wickedH7489 that rise upH6965 against me.
And afterwardH310, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will deliverH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and his servantsH5650, and the peopleH5971, and such as are leftH7604 in this cityH5892 from the pestilenceH1698, from the swordH2719, and from the famineH7458, into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and he shall smiteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; he shall not spareH2347 them, neither have pityH2550, nor have mercyH7355.
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.
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.
For I have setH7760 my faceH6440 against this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it shall be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784.
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:
And I will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 for their hurtH7451, to be a reproachH2781 and a proverbH4912, a tauntH8148 and a curseH7045, in all placesH4725 whither I shall driveH5080 them. {to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation}
And I will sendH7971 the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, among them, till they be consumedH8552 from off the landH127 that I gaveH5414 unto them and to their fathersH1.
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559 to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of KirjathjearimH7157, who prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414:
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.
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}
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.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 upon JudahH3063 and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them: because I have spokenH1696 unto them, but they have not heardH8085; and I have calledH7121 unto them, but they have not answeredH6030.
And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Yet a smallH4962 numberH4557 that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall return outH7725 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall knowH3045 whose wordsH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs. {mine…: Heb. from me, or, from them}
And this shall be a signH226 unto you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 you in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surelyH6965 standH6965 against you for evilH7451:
And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
To fulfilH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, until the landH776 had enjoyedH7521 her sabbathsH7676: for as long asH3117 she lay desolateH8074 she kept sabbathH7673, to fulfilH4390 threescore and tenH7657 yearsH8141.
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.
But my wordsH1697 and my statutesH2706, which I commandedH6680 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, did they not take holdH5381 of your fathersH1? and they returnedH7725 and saidH559, Like as the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 thoughtH2161 to doH6213 unto us, according to our waysH1870, and according to our doingsH4611, so hath he dealtH6213 with us. {take…: or, overtake}
