The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had let him goH7971 from RamahH7414, when he had takenH3947 him being boundH631 in chainsH246 amongH8432 all that were carried away captiveH1546 of JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, which were carried away captiveH1540 unto BabylonH894. {chains: or, manicles}
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath pronouncedH1696 this evilH7451 upon this placeH4725.
Now the LORDH3068 hath broughtH935 it, and doneH6213 according as he hath saidH1696: because ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 his voiceH6963, therefore this thingH1697 is come upon you.
And now, behold, I looseH6605 thee this dayH3117 from the chainsH246 which were upon thine handH3027. If it seem goodH2896+H5869 unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, comeH935; and I will look wellH7760+H5869 unto thee: but if it seem illH7489+H5869 unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, forbearH2308: beholdH7200, all the landH776 is beforeH6440 thee: whither it seemethH413 goodH2896 and convenientH3477+H5869 for thee to goH3212, thither goH3212. {were…: or, are upon thine hand} {I will…: Heb. I will set mine eye upon thee}
Now while he was not yet gone backH7725, he said, Go backH7725 also to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath made governorH6485 over the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and dwellH3427 with him amongH8432 the peopleH5971: or goH3212 wheresoever it seemeth convenientH3477+H5869 unto thee to goH3212. So the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 gaveH5414 him victualsH737 and a rewardH4864, and let him goH7971.
Then wentH935 JeremiahH3414 unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 to MizpahH4708; and dweltH3427 with him amongH8432 the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the landH776.
Now when all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 which were in the fieldsH7704, even they and their menH582, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 governorH6485 in the landH776, and had committedH6485 unto him menH582, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and of the poorH1803 of the landH776, of them that were not carried away captiveH1540 to BabylonH894;
Then they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4708, even IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 and JonathanH3129 the sonsH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576, and the sonsH1121 of EphaiH5778 the NetophathiteH5200, and JezaniahH3153 the sonH1121 of a MaachathiteH4602, they and their menH582.
And GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 swareH7650 unto them and to their menH582, sayingH559, FearH3372 not to serveH5647 the ChaldeansH3778: dwell inH3427 the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and it shall be wellH3190 with you.
As for me, behold, I will dwellH3427 at MizpahH4709 to serveH5975+H6440 the ChaldeansH3778, which will comeH935 unto us: but ye, gatherH622 ye wineH3196, and summer fruitsH7019, and oilH8081, and putH7760 them in your vesselsH3627, and dwellH3427 in your citiesH5892 that ye have takenH8610. {to serve: Heb. to stand before}
Likewise when all the JewsH3064 that were in MoabH4124, and among the AmmonitesH5983, and in EdomH123, and that were in all the countriesH776, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH5414 a remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, and that he had setH6485 over them GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227;
Even all the JewsH3064 returned outH7725 of all placesH4725 whither they were drivenH5080, and cameH935 to the landH776 of JudahH3063, to GedaliahH1436, unto MizpahH4708, and gatheredH622 wineH3196 and summer fruitsH7019 veryH3966 muchH7235.
Moreover JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were in the fieldsH7704, cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4708,
And saidH559 unto him, Dost thou certainlyH3045 knowH3045 that BaalisH1185 the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 hath sentH7971 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 to slayH5221+H5315 thee? But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 believedH539 them not. {to slay…: Heb. to strike thee in soul?}
Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spakeH559 to GedaliahH1436 in MizpahH4709 secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let me goH3212, I pray thee, and I will slayH5221 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and no manH376 shall knowH3045 it: wherefore should he slayH5221+H5315 thee, that all the JewsH3064 which are gatheredH6908 unto thee should be scatteredH6327, and the remnantH7611 in JudahH3063 perishH6?
But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 saidH559 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, Thou shalt not doH6213 this thingH1697: for thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267 of IshmaelH3458.

And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.
Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
And it shall be answeredH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
All that passH5674 by clapH5606 their handsH3709 at theeH1870; they hissH8319 and wagH5128 their headH7218 at the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389, saying, Is this the cityH5892 that men callH559 The perfectionH3632 of beautyH3308, The joyH4885 of the whole earthH776? {by: Heb. by the way}
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
The LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 that which he had devisedH2161; he hath fulfilledH1214 his wordH565 that he had commandedH6680 in the daysH3117 of oldH6924: he hath thrown downH2040, and hath not pitiedH2550: and he hath caused thine enemyH341 to rejoiceH8055 over thee, he hath set upH7311 the hornH7161 of thine adversariesH6862.
