Then all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and JezaniahH3153 the sonH1121 of HoshaiahH1955, and all the peopleH5971 from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419, came nearH5066,
And saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplicationH8467 be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee, and prayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, even for all this remnantH7611; (for we are leftH7604 but a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thine eyesH5869 do beholdH7200 us:) {Let…: or, Let our supplication fall before thee}
That the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 may shewH5046 us the wayH1870 wherein we may walkH3212, and the thingH1697 that we may doH6213.
Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 unto them, I have heardH8085 you; behold, I will prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430 according to your wordsH1697; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thingH1697 the LORDH3068 shall answerH6030 you, I will declareH5046 it unto you; I will keepH4513 nothingH1697 backH4513 from you.
Then they saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, The LORDH3068 be a trueH571 and faithfulH539 witnessH5707 between us, if we doH6213 not even according to all thingsH1697 for the which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall sendH7971 thee to us.
Whether it be goodH2896, or whether it be evilH7451, we will obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to whom weH580 sendH7971 thee; that it may be wellH3190 with us, when we obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And it came to pass afterH7093 tenH6235 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414.
Then calledH7121 he JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 which were with him, and all the peopleH5971 from the leastH6996 even to the greatestH1419,
And saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto whom ye sentH7971 me to presentH5307 your supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 him;
If ye will stillH7725 abideH3427 in this landH776, then will I buildH1129 you, and not pull you downH2040, and I will plantH5193 you, and not pluck you upH5428: for I repentH5162 me of the evilH7451 that I have doneH6213 unto you.
Be not afraidH3372 ofH6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, of whomH6440 ye are afraidH3373; be not afraidH3372 of him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with you to saveH3467 you, and to deliverH5337 you from his handH3027.
And I will shewH5414 merciesH7356 unto you, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you, and cause you to returnH7725 to your own landH127.
But if ye sayH559, We will not dwellH3427 in this landH776, neither obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430,
SayingH559, No; but we will goH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714, where we shall seeH7200 no warH4421, nor hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, nor have hungerH7456 of breadH3899; and there will we dwellH3427:
And now therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye remnantH7611 of JudahH3063; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; If ye whollyH7760 setH7760 your facesH6440 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, and goH935 to sojournH1481 there;
Then it shall come to pass, that the swordH2719, which ye fearedH3373, shall overtakeH5381 you there in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the famineH7458, whereof ye were afraidH1672, shall follow closeH1692 afterH310 you there in EgyptH4714; and there ye shall dieH4191. {shall follow…: Heb. shall cleave after you}
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}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As mine angerH639 and my furyH2534 hath been poured forthH5413 upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; so shall my furyH2534 be poured forthH5413 upon you, when ye shall enterH935 into EgyptH4714: and ye shall be an execrationH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781; and ye shall seeH7200 this placeH4725 no more.
The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 concerning you, O ye remnantH7611 of JudahH3063; GoH935 ye not into EgyptH4714: knowH3045 certainlyH3045 that I have admonishedH5749 you this dayH3117. {admonished…: Heb. testified against you}
For ye dissembledH8582 in your heartsH5315, when ye sentH7971 me unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, sayingH559, PrayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430; and according unto all that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall sayH559, so declareH5046 unto us, and we will doH6213 it. {ye dissembled…: or, ye have used deceit against your souls}
And now I have this dayH3117 declaredH5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, nor any thing for the which he hath sentH7971 me unto you.
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}

And saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplicationH8467 be acceptedH5307 beforeH6440 thee, and prayH6419 for us unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, even for all this remnantH7611; (for we are leftH7604 but a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thine eyesH5869 do beholdH7200 us:) {Let…: or, Let our supplication fall before thee}
It may beH194 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will hearH8085 all the wordsH1697 of RabshakehH7262, whom the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 his masterH113 hath sentH7971 to reproachH2778 the livingH2416 GodH430; and will reproveH3198 the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath heardH8085: wherefore lift upH5375 thy prayerH8605 for the remnantH7611 that are leftH4672. {left: Heb. found}
And IsaiahH3470 saidH559 unto them, Thus shall ye sayH559 to your masterH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Be not afraidH3372 ofH6440 the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085, with which the servantsH5288 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 have blasphemedH1442 me.
Then IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sentH7971 to HezekiahH2396, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, That which thou hast prayedH6419 to me against SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 I have heardH8085.
This is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330 the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scornH3932; the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.
ByH3027 thy messengersH4397 thou hast reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, With the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393+H7393 I am come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844, and will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedar treesH730 thereof, and the choiceH4004 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the lodgingsH4411 of his bordersH7093, and into the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By: Heb. By the hand of} {tall…: Heb. tallness, etc} {of his Carmel: or, and his fruitful field}
I have diggedH6979 and drunkH8354 strangeH2114 watersH4325, and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I driedH2717 up all the riversH2975 of besieged placesH4693. {besieged: or, fenced}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350 how I have doneH6213 it, and of ancientH6924 timesH3117 that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 fencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {long…: or, how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and fenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954; they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as corn blastedH7711 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054. {of small…: Heb. short of hand}
But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rageH7264 against me and thy tumultH7600 is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore I will putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such things as growH5599 of themselves, and in the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same; and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitsH6529 thereof.
And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall yet againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605. {remnant…: Heb. escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 out of mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this. {they…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldH4043, nor castH8210 a bankH5550 against it.
By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892, to saveH3467 it, for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went outH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 an hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719: and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780. And EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
And she saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
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;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou hast humbledH3665 thyself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when thou heardestH8085 what I spakeH1696 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should become a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and hast rentH7167 thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 beforeH6440 me; I also have heardH8085 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold therefore, I will gatherH622 thee unto thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 into thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965; and thine eyesH5869 shall not seeH7200 all the evilH7451 which I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725. And they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
