And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 toward JerusalemH3389, and dropH5197 thy word toward the holy placesH4720, and prophesyH5012 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478,
And sayH559 to the landH127 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593, and will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563.
SeeingH3282 then that I will cut offH3772 from thee the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, therefore shall my swordH2719 go forthH3318 out of his sheathH8593 against all fleshH1320 from the southH5045 to the northH6828:
That all fleshH1320 may knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have drawn forthH3318 my swordH2719 out of his sheathH8593: it shall not returnH7725 any more.
SighH584 therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, with the breakingH7670 of thy loinsH4975; and with bitternessH4814 sighH584 before their eyesH5869.
And it shall be, when they sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore sighestH584 thou? that thou shalt answerH559, For the tidingsH8052; because it comethH935: and every heartH3820 shall meltH4549, and all handsH3027 shall be feebleH7503, and every spiritH7307 shall faintH3543, and all kneesH1290 shall be weakH3212 as waterH4325: behold, it comethH935, and shall be brought to passH1961, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {shall be weak…: Heb. shall go into water}
Again the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; SayH559, A swordH2719, a swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and also furbishedH4803:
It is sharpenedH2300 to make a soreH2874 slaughterH2873; it is furbishedH4178 that it may glitterH1300: shouldH176 we then make mirthH7797? it contemnethH3988 the rodH7626 of my sonH1121, as every treeH6086. {it contemneth…: or, it is the rod of my son, it despiseth every tree}
And he hath givenH5414 it to be furbishedH4803, that it may be handledH3709+H8610: this swordH2719 is sharpenedH2300, and it is furbishedH4178, to giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the slayerH2026.
CryH2199 and howlH3213, sonH1121 of manH120: for it shall be upon my peopleH5971, it shall be upon all the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478: terrorsH4048 by reason ofH413 the swordH2719 shall be upon my peopleH5971: smiteH5606 therefore upon thy thighH3409. {terrors…: or, they are thrust down to the sword with my people}
Because it is a trialH974, and what if the sword contemnH3988 even the rodH7626? it shall be no more, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {Because…: or, When the trial hath been, what then? shall they not also belong to the despising rod?}
Thou therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012, and smiteH5221 thine handsH3709+H3709 togetherH5221, and let the swordH2719 be doubledH3717 the thirdH7992 time, the swordH2719 of the slainH2491: it is the swordH2719 of the greatH1419 men that are slainH2491, which entereth into their privy chambersH2314. {hands…: Heb. hand to hand}
I have setH5414 the pointH19 of the swordH2719 against all their gatesH8179, that their heartH3820 may faintH4127, and their ruinsH4383 be multipliedH7235: ahH253! it is madeH6213 brightH1300, it is wrapped upH4593 for the slaughterH2874. {point: or, glittering, or, fear} {wrapped up: or, sharpened}
Go thee one way or otherH258, either onH7760 the right handH3231, or on the leftH8041, whithersoeverH575 thy faceH6440 is setH3259. {or on…: Heb. set thyself, take the left hand}
I will also smiteH5221 mine handsH3709 togetherH3709, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117: I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me again, sayingH559,
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, appointH7760 thee twoH8147 waysH1870, that the swordH2719 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 may comeH935: both twainH8147 shall come forthH3318 out of oneH259 landH776: and chooseH1254 thou a placeH3027, chooseH1254 it at the headH7218 of the wayH1870 to the cityH5892.
AppointH7760 a wayH1870, that the swordH2719 may comeH935 to RabbathH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 the defencedH1219.
For the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 stoodH5975 at the partingH517 of the wayH1870, at the headH7218 of the twoH8147 waysH1870, to useH7080 divinationH7081: he made his arrowsH2671 brightH7043, he consultedH7592 with imagesH8655, he lookedH7200 in the liverH3516. {parting of: Heb. mother of} {arrows: or, knives} {images: Heb. teraphim}
At his right handH3225 was the divinationH7081 for JerusalemH3389, to appointH7760 captainsH3733, to openH6605 the mouthH6310 in the slaughterH7524, to lift upH7311 the voiceH6963 with shoutingH8643, to appointH7760 battering ramsH3733 against the gatesH8179, to castH8210 a mountH5550, and to buildH1129 a fortH1785. {captains: or, battering rams: Heb. rams}
And it shall be unto them as a falseH7723 divinationH7080 in their sightH5869, to them that have swornH7650 oathsH7621: but he will call to remembranceH2142 the iniquityH5771, that they may be takenH8610. {to them…: or, for the oaths made unto them}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have made your iniquityH5771 to be rememberedH2142, in that your transgressionsH6588 are discoveredH1540, so that in all your doingsH5949 your sinsH2403 do appearH7200; because, I say, that ye are come to remembranceH2142, ye shall be takenH8610 with the handH3709.
And thou, profaneH2491 wickedH7563 princeH5387 of IsraelH3478, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093,
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RemoveH5493 the diademH4701, and take offH7311 the crownH5850: this shall not be the sameH2063: exaltH1361 him that is lowH8217, and abaseH8213 him that is highH1364.
I will overturnH5754, overturnH5754, overturnH5754, it: and it shall beH7760 no more, until he comeH935 whose rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him. {I will overturn…: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}
And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and concerning their reproachH2781; even sayH559 thou, The swordH2719, the swordH2719 is drawnH6605: for the slaughterH2874 it is furbishedH4803, to consumeH398 because of the glitteringH1300:
Whiles they seeH2372 vanityH7723 unto thee, whiles they divineH7080 a lieH3577 unto thee, to bringH5414 thee upon the necksH6677 of them that are slainH2491, of the wickedH7563, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 their iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093.
Shall I cause it to returnH7725 into his sheathH8593? I will judgeH8199 thee in the placeH4725 where thou wast createdH1254, in the landH776 of thy nativityH4351. {Shall…: or, Cause it to return}
And I will pour outH8210 mine indignationH2195 upon thee, I will blowH6315 against thee in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of brutishH1197 menH582, and skilfulH2796 to destroyH4889. {brutish: or, burning}
Thou shalt be for fuelH402 to the fireH784; thy bloodH1818 shall be in the midstH8432 of the landH776; thou shalt be no more rememberedH2142: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.

I will also smiteH5221 mine handsH3709 togetherH3709, and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117: I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696 it.
And if ye walkH3212 contraryH7147 unto me, and willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me; I will bringH3254 seven timesH7651 moreH3254 plaguesH4347 upon you according to your sinsH2403. {contrary…: or, at all adventures with me}
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 what the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 in the darkH2822, every manH376 in the chambersH2315 of his imageryH4906? for they sayH559, The LORDH3068 seethH7200 us not; the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 the earthH776.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; SmiteH5221 with thine handH3709, and stampH7554 with thy footH7272, and sayH559, AlasH253 for all the evilH7451 abominationsH8441 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478! for they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698.
Then will I also walkH1980 contraryH7147 unto you, and will punishH5221 you yetH1571 seven timesH7651 for your sinsH2403.
But the restH3498 fledH5127 to AphekH663, into the cityH5892; and there a wallH2346 fellH5307 upon twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 of the menH376 that were leftH3498. And BenhadadH1130 fledH5127, and cameH935 into the cityH5892, into an innerH2315 chamberH2315. {into an…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber}
And Balak'sH1111 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against BalaamH1109, and he smoteH5606 his handsH3709 togetherH5606: and BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast altogetherH1288 blessedH1288 them these threeH7969 timesH6471.
In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927, and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 in that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927 against JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692. {was…: Heb. came into siege}
And NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 against the cityH5892, and his servantsH5650 did besiegeH6696 it.
And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. {officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}
And he carried outH3318 thence all the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and cut in piecesH7112 all the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
And he carried awayH1540 all JerusalemH3389, and all the princesH8269, and all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, even tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and all the craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525: none remainedH7604, saveH2108 the poorest sortH1803 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he carried awayH1540 JehoiachinH3078 to BabylonH894, and the king'sH4428 motherH517, and the king'sH4428 wivesH802, and his officersH5631, and the mightyH352+H193 of the landH776, those carriedH3212 he into captivityH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. {officers: or, eunuchs}
And all the menH582 of mightH2428, even sevenH7651 thousandH505, and craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525 a thousandH505, all that were strongH1368 and aptH6213 for warH4421, even them the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 captiveH1473 to BabylonH894.
Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he, and all his hostH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
And the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And on the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between two wallsH2346, which is by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeesH3778 were against the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and the king wentH3212 the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and all his armyH2428 were scatteredH6327 from him.
So they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and brought him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
ThenH116 was NebuchadnezzarH5020 fullH4391 of furyH2528, and the formH6755 of his visageH600 was changedH8133 againstH5922 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665: therefore he spakeH6032, and commandedH560 that they should heatH228 the furnaceH861 oneH2298 seven timesH7655 moreH5922 thanH1768 it was wontH2370 to be heatedH228. {full: Cald. filled}
