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 the menH582 of DavidH1732 saidH559 unto him, Behold the dayH3117 of which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto thee, Behold, I will deliverH5414 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027, that thou mayest doH6213 to him as it shall seem goodH3190 unto theeH5869. Then DavidH1732 aroseH6965, and cut offH3772 the skirtH3671 of Saul'sH7586 robeH4598 privilyH3909. {Saul's…: Heb. the robe which was Saul's}
But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. {toward…: Heb. with thee}
Then saidH559 AbishaiH52 to DavidH1732, GodH430 hath deliveredH5462 thine enemyH341 into thine handH3027 this dayH3117: now therefore let me smiteH5221 him, I pray thee, with the spearH2595 even to the earthH776 at onceH6471+H259, and I will not smite him the second timeH8138. {delivered: Heb. shut up}
How long shall the landH776 mournH56, and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595, and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559, He shall not seeH7200 our last endH319.
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
But the peopleH5971 answeredH559, Thou shalt not go forthH3318: for if we fleeH5127 awayH5127, they will not careH7760+H3820 for us; neither if halfH2677 of us dieH4191, will they careH7760+H3820 for us: but now thou art worthH3644 tenH6235 thousandH505 of us: therefore now it is betterH2896 that thou succourH5826+H5826 us out of the cityH5892. {care…: Heb. set their heart on us} {worth…: Heb. as ten thousand of us} {succour: Heb. be to succour or help}
But AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 succouredH5826 him, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and killedH4191 him. Then the menH582 of DavidH1732 swareH7650 unto him, sayingH559, Thou shalt goH3318 no more out with us to battleH4421, that thou quenchH3518 not the lightH5216 of IsraelH3478. {light: Heb. candle, or, lamp}
SonH1121 of manH120, they that inhabitH3427 those wastesH2723 of the landH127 of IsraelH3478 speakH559, sayingH559, AbrahamH85 was oneH259, and he inheritedH3423 the landH776: but we are manyH7227; the landH776 is givenH5414 us for inheritanceH4181.
Wherefore sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Ye eatH398 with the bloodH1818, and lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 toward your idolsH1544, and shedH8210 bloodH1818: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
Ye standH5975 upon your swordH2719, ye workH6213 abominationH8441, and ye defileH2930 every oneH376 his neighbour'sH7453 wifeH802: and shall ye possessH3423 the landH776?
SayH559 thou thus unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely they that are in the wastesH2723 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and him that is in the openH6440 fieldH7704 will I giveH5414 to the beastsH2416 to be devouredH398, and they that be in the fortsH4679 and in the cavesH4631 shall dieH4191 of the pestilenceH1698. {to be…: Heb. to devour him}
For I will layH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074, that none shall pass throughH5674. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Then shall they knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have laidH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077 because of all their abominationsH8441 which they have committedH6213.
