And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, put forthH2330 a riddleH2420, and speakH4911 a parableH4912 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478;
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; A greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671, longwingedH83+H750, fullH4392 of feathersH5133, which had divers coloursH7553, cameH935 unto LebanonH3844, and tookH3947 the highest branchH6788 of the cedarH730: {divers…: Heb. embroidering}
He cropped offH6998 the topH7218 of his young twigsH3242, and carriedH935 it into a landH776 of traffickH3667; he setH7760 it in a cityH5892 of merchantsH7402.
He tookH3947 also of the seedH2233 of the landH776, and plantedH5414 it in a fruitfulH2233 fieldH7704; he placedH3947 it by greatH7227 watersH4325, and setH7760 it as a willow treeH6851. {planted…: Heb. put it in a field of seed}
And it grewH6779, and became a spreadingH5628 vineH1612 of lowH8217 statureH6967, whose branchesH1808 turnedH6437 toward him, and the rootsH8328 thereof were under him: so it became a vineH1612, and brought forthH6213 branchesH905, and shotH7971 forth sprigsH6288.
There was also anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bendH3719 her rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 her branchesH1808 toward him, that he might waterH8248 it by the furrowsH6170 of her plantationH4302.
It was plantedH8362 in a goodH2896 soilH7704 by greatH7227 watersH4325, that it might bring forthH6213 branchesH6057, and that it might bearH5375 fruitH6529, that it might be a goodlyH155 vineH1612. {soil: Heb. field}
SayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Shall it prosperH6743? shall he not pull upH5423 the rootsH8328 thereof, and cut offH7082 the fruitH6529 thereof, that it witherH3001? it shall witherH3001 in all the leavesH2964 of her springH6780, even without greatH1419 powerH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971 to pluck it upH5375 by the rootsH8328 thereof.
Yea, behold, being plantedH8362, shall it prosperH6743? shall it not utterlyH3001 witherH3001, when the eastH6921 windH7307 touchethH5060 it? it shall witherH3001 in the furrowsH6170 where it grewH6780.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also takeH3947 of the highest branchH6788 of the highH7311 cedarH730, and will setH5414 it; I will crop offH6998 from the topH7218 of his young twigsH3127 a tender oneH7390, and will plantH8362 it upon an highH1364 mountainH2022 and eminentH8524:
In the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478 will I plantH8362 it: and it shall bring forthH5375 boughsH6057, and bearH6213 fruitH6529, and be a goodlyH117 cedarH730: and under it shall dwellH7931 all fowlH6833 of every wingH3671; in the shadowH6738 of the branchesH1808 thereof shall they dwellH7931.
And all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have brought downH8213 the highH1364 treeH6086, have exaltedH1361 the lowH8217 treeH6086, have driedH3001 up the greenH3892 treeH6086, and have made the dryH3002 treeH6086 to flourishH6524: I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 and have doneH6213 it.

There was also anotherH259 greatH1419 eagleH5404 with greatH1419 wingsH3671 and manyH7227 feathersH5133: and, behold, this vineH1612 did bendH3719 her rootsH8328 toward him, and shot forthH7971 her branchesH1808 toward him, that he might waterH8248 it by the furrowsH6170 of her plantationH4302.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
SayH559 thou, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Shall it prosperH6743? shall he not pull upH5423 the rootsH8328 thereof, and cut offH7082 the fruitH6529 thereof, that it witherH3001? it shall witherH3001 in all the leavesH2964 of her springH6780, even without greatH1419 powerH2220 or manyH7227 peopleH5971 to pluck it upH5375 by the rootsH8328 thereof.
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee. {bloody…: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall…: Heb. shall not half their days}
For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not of me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403:
That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714!
Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639.
For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609.
That thou shouldest enterH5674 into covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and into his oathH423, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 makethH3772 with thee this dayH3117: {enter: Heb. pass}
That he may establishH6965 thee to dayH3117 for a peopleH5971 unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 unto thee, and as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290.
Neither with you only do I makeH3772 this covenantH1285 and this oathH423;
But with him that standethH5975 here with us thisH3426 dayH3117 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and also with him that is not here with us this dayH3117:
And thou, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093,
And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
WoeH1945 to them that go downH3381 to EgyptH4714 for helpH5833; and stayH8172 on horsesH5483, and trustH982 in chariotsH7393, because they are manyH7227; and in horsemenH6571, because they are veryH3966 strongH6105; but they lookH8159 not unto the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, neither seekH1875 the LORDH3068!
Yet he also is wiseH2450, and will bringH935 evilH7451, and will not call backH5493 his wordsH1697: but will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of the evildoersH7489, and against the helpH5833 of them that workH6466 iniquityH205. {call…: Heb. remove}
Now the EgyptiansH4714 are menH120, and not GodH410; and their horsesH5483 fleshH1320, and not spiritH7307. When the LORDH3068 shall stretch outH5186 his handH3027, both he that helpethH5826 shall fallH3782, and he that is holpenH5826 shall fall downH5307, and they all shall failH3615 togetherH3162.
A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352, and he that speakethH6315 liesH3577 shall not escapeH4422. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
For throughH5921 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, till he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Lo, thou trustestH982 in the staffH4938 of this brokenH7533 reedH7070, on EgyptH4714; whereon if a manH376 leanH5564, it will goH935 into his handH3709, and pierceH5344 it: so is PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to all that trustH982 in him.
But if thou sayH559 to me, We trustH982 in the LORDH3068 our GodH430: is it not he, whose high placesH1116 and whose altarsH4196 HezekiahH2396 hath taken awayH5493, and saidH559 to JudahH3063 and to JerusalemH3389, Ye shall worshipH7812 beforeH6440 this altarH4196?
Now therefore give pledgesH6148, I pray thee, to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master'sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, WriteH3789 ye this manH376 childlessH6185, a manH1397 that shall not prosperH6743 in his daysH3117: for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosperH6743, sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and rulingH4910 any more in JudahH3063.
And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 shall not escapeH4422 out of the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, but shall surelyH5414 be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and shall speakH1696 with him mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 his eyesH5869;
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
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}
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.
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}
