The wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, of the priestsH3548 that were in AnathothH6068 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144:
To whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.
It came also in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the endH8552 of the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the carrying awayH1540 of JerusalemH3389 captiveH1540 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee; and before thou camest forthH3318 out of the wombH7358 I sanctifiedH6942 thee, and I ordainedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. {ordained: Heb. gave}
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, I cannotH3045 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatsoever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696.
Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310.
SeeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH6485 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to root outH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6, and to throw downH2040, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, JeremiahH3414, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a rodH4731 of an almond treeH8247.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I will hastenH8245 my wordH1697 to performH6213 it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, What seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seethingH5301 potH5518; and the faceH6440 thereof is towardH6440 the northH6828. {toward…: Heb. from the face of the north}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Out of the northH6828 an evilH7451 shall break forthH6605 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. {shall…: Heb. shall be opened}
For, lo, I will callH7121 all the familiesH4940 of the kingdomsH4467 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall comeH935, and they shall setH5414 every oneH376 his throneH3678 at the enteringH6607 of the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389, and against all the wallsH2346 thereof round aboutH5439, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And I will utterH1696 my judgmentsH4941 against them touchingH5921 all their wickednessH7451, who have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
Thou therefore gird upH247 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, and speakH1696 unto them all that I commandH6680 thee: be not dismayedH2865 at their facesH6440, lest I confoundH2865 thee beforeH6440 them. {confound: or, break to pieces}
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And they shall fightH3898 against thee; but they shall not prevailH3201 against thee; for I am with thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 thee.
The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerning all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that was the firstH7224 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894;
The which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696 unto all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559,
From the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, even unto this dayH3117, that is the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 hath come unto me, and I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye have not hearkenedH8085.
And the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 unto you all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye have not hearkenedH8085, nor inclinedH5186 your earH241 to hearH8085.
They saidH559, Turn ye againH7725 now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and from the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and dwellH3427 in the landH127 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 unto you and to your fathersH1 forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769:
And goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and to worshipH7812 them, and provoke me not to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027; and I will do you no hurtH7489.
Yet ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; that ye might provoke me to angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027 to your own hurtH7451.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Because ye have not heardH8085 my wordsH1697,
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
Moreover I will takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the candleH5216. {I will…: Heb. I will cause to perish from them}
And this whole landH776 shall be a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047; and these nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
And it shall come to pass, when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are accomplishedH4390, that I will punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and will makeH7760 it perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
And I will bringH935 upon that landH776 all my wordsH1697 which I have pronouncedH1696 against it, even all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, which JeremiahH3414 hath prophesiedH5012 against all the nationsH1471.
For manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of them also: and I will recompenseH7999 them according to their deedsH6467, and according to the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto me; TakeH3947 the wineH3196 cupH3563 of this furyH2534 at my handH3027, and cause all the nationsH1471, to whom I sendH7971 thee, to drinkH8248 it.
And they shall drinkH8354, and be movedH1607, and be madH1984, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 among them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117;
PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971;
And all the mingledH6154 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795,
EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983,
And all the kingsH4428 of TyrusH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of ZidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220, {isles: or, region by the sea side}
DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, {that…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of the hair polled}
And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6154 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057,
And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074,
And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you.
And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354.
For, lo, I beginH2490 to bring evilH7489 on the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and should ye be utterlyH5352 unpunishedH5352? Ye shall not be unpunishedH5352: for I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {which…: Heb. upon which my name is called}
Therefore prophesyH5012 thou against them all these wordsH1697, and sayH559 unto them, The LORDH3068 shall roarH7580 from on highH4791, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from his holyH6944 habitationH4583; he shall mightilyH7580 roarH7580 upon his habitationH5116; he shall giveH6030 a shoutH1959, as they that treadH1869 the grapes, against all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776.
A noiseH7588 shall comeH935 even to the endsH7097 of the earthH776; for the LORDH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471, he will pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320; he will giveH5414 them that are wickedH7563 to the swordH2719, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, evilH7451 shall go forthH3318 from nationH1471 to nationH1471, and a greatH1419 whirlwindH5591 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
And the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be at that dayH3117 from one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the other endH7097 of the earthH776: they shall not be lamentedH5594, neither gatheredH622, nor buriedH6912; they shall be dungH1828 uponH6440 the groundH127.
HowlH3213, ye shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199; and wallowH6428 yourselves in the ashes, ye principalH117 of the flockH6629: for the daysH3117 of your slaughterH2873 and of your dispersionsH8600 are accomplishedH4390; and ye shall fallH5307 like a pleasantH2532 vesselH3627. {the days…: Heb. your days for slaughter} {a pleasant…: Heb. a vessel of desire}
And the shepherdsH7462 shall have no wayH4498 to fleeH6, nor the principalH117 of the flockH6629 to escapeH6413. {the shepherds…: Heb. flight shall perish from the shepherds, and escaping from, etc}
A voiceH6963 of the cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462, and an howlingH3215 of the principalH117 of the flockH6629, shall be heard: for the LORDH3068 hath spoiledH7703 their pastureH4830.
And the peaceableH7965 habitationsH4999 are cut downH1826 becauseH6440 of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068.
He hath forsakenH5800 his covertH5520, as the lionH3715: for their landH776 is desolateH8047 becauseH6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the oppressorH3238, and becauseH6440 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. {desolate: Heb. a desolation}
In the beginningH7225 of the reignH4468 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came this wordH1697 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; StandH5975 in the courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and speakH1696 unto all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, which comeH935 to worshipH7812 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, all the wordsH1697 that I commandH6680 thee to speakH1696 unto them; diminishH1639 not a wordH1697:
If so be they will hearkenH8085, and turnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, that I may repentH5162 me of the evilH7451, which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611.
And thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye will not hearkenH8085 to me, to walkH3212 in my lawH8451, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you,
To hearkenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whom I sentH7971 unto you, both rising up earlyH7925, and sendingH7971 them, but ye have not hearkenedH8085;
Then will I makeH5414 this houseH1004 like ShilohH7887, and will makeH5414 this cityH5892 a curseH7045 to all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776.
So the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Now it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all that the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 tookH8610 him, sayingH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
Why hast thou prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, This houseH1004 shall be like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall be desolateH2717 without an inhabitantH3427? And all the peopleH5971 were gatheredH6950 against JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
When the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 these thingsH1697, then they came upH5927 from the king'sH4428 houseH1004 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and sat downH3427 in the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 house. {in the…: or, at the door}
Then spakeH559 the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241. {This man…: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}
Then spakeH559 JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085.
Therefore now amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430; and the LORDH3068 will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against you.
As for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: doH6213 with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meetH3477 unto you. {as…: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes}
But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
Then saidH559 the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophetsH5030; This manH376 is not worthyH4941 to dieH4194: for he hath spokenH1696 to us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Then rose upH6965 certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and spakeH559 to all the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559 to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293.
Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and all JudahH3063 put him at allH4191 to deathH4191? did he not fearH3373 the LORDH3068, and besoughtH2470 the LORDH3068+H6440, and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451 which he had pronouncedH1696 against them? ThusH587 might we procureH6213 greatH1419 evilH7451 against our soulsH5315. {the LORD, and the: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}
And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of KirjathjearimH7157, who prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414:
And when JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428, with all his mighty menH1368, and all the princesH8269, heardH8085 his wordsH1697, the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to put him to deathH4191: but when UrijahH223 heardH8085 it, he was afraidH3372, and fledH1272, and wentH935 into EgyptH4714;
And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971 menH582 into EgyptH4714, namely, ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and certain menH582 with him into EgyptH4714.
And they fetched forthH3318 UrijahH223 out of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221 him with the swordH2719, and castH7993 his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. {common…: Heb. sons of the people}
Nevertheless the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with JeremiahH3414, that they should not giveH5414 him into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to put him to deathH4191.
In the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came this wordH1697 unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to me; MakeH6213 thee bondsH4147 and yokesH4133, and putH5414 them upon thy neckH6677, {saith…: or, hath the LORD said}
And sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and to the kingH4428 of ZidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 which comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063;
And commandH6680 them to sayH559 unto their mastersH113, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 unto your mastersH113; {to say…: or, concerning their masters, saying}
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the manH120 and the beastH929 that are uponH6440 the groundH776, by my greatH1419 powerH3581 and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and have givenH5414 it unto whom it seemedH5869 meetH3474 unto me.
And now have I givenH5414 all these landsH776 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 have I givenH5414 him also to serveH5647 him.
And all nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 him, and his sonH1121, and his son'sH1121 sonH1121, until the very timeH6256 of his landH776 comeH935: and then manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 shall serveH5647 themselves of him.
And it shall come to pass, that the nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 which will not serveH5647 the same NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and that will not putH5414 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, that nationH1471 will I punishH6485, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, with the swordH2719, and with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, until I have consumedH8552 them by his handH3027.
Therefore hearkenH8085 not ye to your prophetsH5030, nor to your divinersH7080, nor to your dreamersH2472, nor to your enchantersH6049, nor to your sorcerersH3786, which speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: {dreamers: Heb. dreams}
For they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you, to remove you farH7368 from your landH127; and that I should drive you outH5080, and ye should perishH6.
But the nationsH1471 that bringH935 their neckH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him, those will I let remain stillH3240 in their own landH127, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and they shall tillH5647 it, and dwellH3427 therein.
I spakeH1696 also to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 according to all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421.
Why will ye dieH4191, thou and thy peopleH5971, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 against the nationH1471 that will not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894?
Therefore hearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that speakH559 unto you, sayingH559, Ye shall not serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you.
For I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, yet they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 in my nameH8034; that I might drive you outH5080, and that ye might perishH6, ye, and the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you. {a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly}
Also I spakeH1696 to the priestsH3548 and to all this peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; HearkenH8085 not to the wordsH1697 of your prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you, sayingH559, Behold, the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall now shortlyH4120 be brought againH7725 from BabylonH894: for they prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you.
HearkenH8085 not unto them; serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and liveH2421: wherefore should this cityH5892 be laid wasteH2723?
But if they be prophetsH5030, and if the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 beH3426 with them, let them now make intercessionH6293 to the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that the vesselsH3627 which are leftH3498 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and at JerusalemH3389, goH935 not to BabylonH894.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the pillarsH5982, and concerning the seaH3220, and concerning the basesH4350, and concerning the residueH3499 of the vesselsH3627 that remainH3498 in this cityH5892,
Which NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 not, when he carried away captiveH1540 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894, and all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389;
Yea, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning the vesselsH3627 that remainH3498 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and of JerusalemH3389;
They shall be carriedH935 to BabylonH894, and there shall they be until the dayH3117 that I visitH6485 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; then will I bringH5927 them up, and restoreH7725 them to this placeH4725.
And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, and in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809 the prophetH5030, which was of GibeonH1391, spakeH559 unto me in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Within two fullH3117 yearsH8141 will I bring againH7725 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 took awayH3947 from this placeH4725, and carriedH935 them to BabylonH894: {two…: Heb. two years of days}
And I will bring againH7725 to this placeH4725 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, with all the captivesH1546 of JudahH3063, that wentH935 into BabylonH894, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. {captives: Heb. captivity}
Then the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548, and in the presenceH5869 of all the peopleH5971 that stoodH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
Even the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so: the LORDH3068 performH6965 thy wordsH1697 which thou hast prophesiedH5012, to bring againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and all that is carried away captiveH1473, from BabylonH894 into this placeH4725.
Nevertheless hearH8085 thou now this wordH1697 that I speakH1696 in thine earsH241, and in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971;
The prophetsH5030 that have been beforeH6440 me and beforeH6440 thee of oldH5769 prophesiedH5012 both against manyH7227 countriesH776, and against greatH1419 kingdomsH4467, of warH4421, and of evilH7451, and of pestilenceH1698.
The prophetH5030 which prophesiethH5012 of peaceH7965, when the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 shall come to passH935, thenH227 shall the prophetH5030 be knownH3045, that the LORDH3068 hath trulyH571 sentH7971 him.
Then HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 tookH3947 the yokeH4133 from off the prophetH5030 Jeremiah'sH3414 neckH6677, and brakeH7665 it.
And HananiahH2608 spakeH559 in the presenceH5869 of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Even so will I breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 from the neckH6677 of all nationsH1471 within the space of two fullH3117 yearsH8141. And the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 wentH3212 his wayH1870.
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414 the prophet, afterH310 that HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 had brokenH7665 the yokeH4133 from off the neckH6677 of the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and tellH559 HananiahH2608, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thou hast brokenH7665 the yokesH4133 of woodH6086; but thou shalt makeH6213 for them yokesH4133 of ironH1270.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I have putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon the neckH6677 of all these nationsH1471, that they may serveH5647 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and they shall serveH5647 him: and I have givenH5414 him the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 also.
Then saidH559 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 unto HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, HearH8085 now, HananiahH2608; The LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 thee; but thou makest this peopleH5971 to trustH982 in a lieH8267.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will castH7971 thee from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127: this yearH8141 thou shalt dieH4191, because thou hast taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
So HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 diedH4191 the same yearH8141 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
Now these are the wordsH1697 of the letterH5612 that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 unto the residueH3499 of the eldersH2205 which were carried away captivesH1473, and to the priestsH3548, and to the prophetsH5030, and to all the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 had carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894;
(AfterH310 that JeconiahH3204 the kingH4428, and the queenH1377, and the eunuchsH5631, the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and the carpentersH2796, and the smithsH4525, were departedH3318 from JerusalemH3389;) {eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
By the handH3027 of ElasahH501 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, (whom ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sentH7971 unto BabylonH894 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894) sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto all that are carried away captivesH1473, whom I have caused to be carried awayH1540 from JerusalemH3389 unto BabylonH894;
BuildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them;
TakeH3947 ye wivesH802, and begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; and takeH3947 wivesH802 for your sonsH1121, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to husbandsH582, that they may bearH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1121; that ye may be increasedH7235 there, and not diminishedH4591.
And seekH1875 the peaceH7965 of the cityH5892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captivesH1540, and prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 for it: for in the peaceH7965 thereof shall ye have peaceH7965.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Let not your prophetsH5030 and your divinersH7080, that be in the midstH7130 of you, deceiveH5377 you, neither hearkenH8085 to your dreamsH2472 which ye cause to be dreamedH2492.
For they prophesyH5012 falselyH8267 unto you in my nameH8034: I have not sentH7971 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {falsely: Heb. in a lie}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, That afterH6310 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 be accomplishedH4390 at BabylonH894 I will visitH6485 you, and performH6965 my goodH2896 wordH1697 toward you, in causing you to returnH7725 to this placeH4725.
For I knowH3045 the thoughtsH4284 that I thinkH2803 toward you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thoughtsH4284 of peaceH7965, and not of evilH7451, to giveH5414 you an expectedH8615 endH319. {expected…: Heb. end and expectation}
Then shall ye callH7121 upon me, and ye shall goH1980 and prayH6419 unto me, and I will hearkenH8085 unto you.
And ye shall seekH1245 me, and findH4672 me, when ye shall searchH1875 for me with all your heartH3824.
And I will be foundH4672 of you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and I will turn awayH7725 your captivityH7622+H7622, and I will gatherH6908 you from all the nationsH1471, and from all the placesH4725 whither I have drivenH5080 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will bring you againH7725 into the placeH4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captiveH1540.
Because ye have saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath raised us upH6965 prophetsH5030 in BabylonH894;
Know that thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of the kingH4428 that sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and of all the peopleH5971 that dwellethH3427 in this cityH5892, and of your brethrenH251 that are not gone forthH3318 with you into captivityH1473;
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will sendH7971 upon them the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, and will makeH5414 them like vileH8182 figsH8384, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455.
And I will persecuteH7291 themH310 with the swordH2719, with the famineH7458, and with the pestilenceH1698, and will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 to all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, to be a curseH423, and an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and a reproachH2781, among all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 them: {to be a curse: Heb. for a curse}
Because they have not hearkenedH8085 to my wordsH1697, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which I sentH7971 unto them by my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them; but ye would not hearH8085, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 ye therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all ye of the captivityH1473, whom I have sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, of AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, which prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034; Behold, I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them before your eyesH5869;
And of them shall be taken upH3947 a curseH7045 by all the captivityH1546 of JudahH3063 which are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784;
Because they have committedH6213 villanyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and have committedH6213 adulteryH5003 with their neighbours'H7453 wivesH802, and have spokenH1696 lyingH8267 wordsH1697 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 them; even I knowH3045, and am a witnessH5707, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus shalt thou also speakH559 to ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, sayingH559, {Nehelamite: or, dreamer}
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Because thou hast sentH7971 lettersH5612 in thy nameH8034 unto all the peopleH5971 that are at JerusalemH3389, and to ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548, and to all the priestsH3548, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the stead of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that ye should be officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, for every manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himself a prophetH5012, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in prisonH4115, and in the stocksH6729.
Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, which maketh himself a prophetH5012 to you?
For therefore he sentH7971 unto us in BabylonH894, sayingH559, ThisH1931 captivity is longH752: buildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 readH7121 this letterH5612 in the earsH241 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
SendH7971 to all them of the captivityH1473, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161; Because that ShemaiahH8098 hath prophesiedH5012 unto you, and I sentH7971 him not, and he caused you to trustH982 in a lieH8267:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233: he shall not have a manH376 to dwellH3427 amongH8432 this peopleH5971; neither shall he beholdH7200 the goodH2896 that I will doH6213 for my peopleH5971, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; because he hath taughtH1696 rebellionH5627 against the LORDH3068. {rebellion: Heb. revolt}
The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068 in the tenthH6224 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which was the eighteenthH8083+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019.
For then the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389: and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 was shut upH3607 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, which was in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004.
For ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had shut him upH3607, sayingH559, Wherefore dost thou prophesyH5012, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it;
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;
And he shall leadH3212 ZedekiahH6667 to BabylonH894, and there shall he be until I visitH6485 him, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: though ye fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, ye shall not prosperH6743.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
Behold, HanameelH2601 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967 thine uncleH1730 shall comeH935 unto thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 thee my fieldH7704 that is in AnathothH6068: for the rightH4941 of redemptionH1353 is thine to buyH7069 it.
So HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 sonH1121 cameH935 to me in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto me, BuyH7069 my fieldH7704, I pray thee, that is in AnathothH6068, which is in the countryH776 of BenjaminH1144: for the rightH4941 of inheritanceH3425 is thine, and the redemptionH1353 is thine; buyH7069 it for thyself. Then I knewH3045 that this was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And I boughtH7069 the fieldH7704 of HanameelH2601 my uncle'sH1730 sonH1121, that was in AnathothH6068, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701, even seventeenH7651+H6235 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. {seventeen…: or, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver}
And I subscribedH3789 the evidenceH5612, and sealedH2856 it, and tookH5749 witnessesH5707, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701 in the balancesH3976. {subscribed…: Heb. wrote in the book}
So I tookH3947 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both that which was sealedH2856 according to the lawH4687 and customH2706, and that which was openH1540:
And I gaveH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, in the sightH5869 of HanameelH2601 mine uncle'sH1730 son, and in the presenceH5869 of the witnessesH5707 that subscribedH3789 the bookH5612 of the purchaseH4736, beforeH5869 all the JewsH3064 that satH3427 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307.
And I chargedH6680 BaruchH1263 beforeH5869 them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; TakeH3947 these evidencesH5612, this evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736, both which is sealedH2856, and this evidenceH5612 which is openH1540; and putH5414 them in an earthenH2789 vesselH3627, that they may continueH5975 manyH7227 daysH3117.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; HousesH1004 and fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 shall be possessed againH7069 in this landH776.
Now whenH310 I had deliveredH5414 the evidenceH5612 of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavenH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 powerH3581 and stretched outH5186 armH2220, and there is nothingH1697 too hardH6381 for thee: {too…: or, hid from thee}
Thou shewestH6213 lovingkindnessH2617 unto thousandsH505, and recompensestH7999 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 into the bosomH2436 of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: the GreatH1419, the MightyH1368 GodH410, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, is his nameH8034,
GreatH1419 in counselH6098, and mightyH7227 in workH5950: for thine eyesH5869 are openH6491 upon all the waysH1870 of the sonsH1121 of menH120: to giveH5414 every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doingsH4611: {work: Heb. doing}
Which hast setH7760 signsH226 and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, and in IsraelH3478, and among other menH120; and hast madeH6213 thee a nameH8034, as at this dayH3117;
And hast brought forthH3318 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with signsH226, and with wondersH4159, and with a strongH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH248, and with greatH1419 terrorH4172;
And hast givenH5414 them this landH776, which thou didst swearH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706;
And they came inH935, and possessedH3423 it; but they obeyedH8085 not thy voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 in thy lawH8451; they have doneH6213 nothing of all that thou commandedstH6680 them to doH6213: therefore thou hast caused all this evilH7451 to comeH7122 upon them:
Behold the mountsH5550, they are comeH935 unto the cityH5892 to takeH3920 it; and the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against it, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719, and of the famineH7458, and of the pestilenceH1698: and what thou hast spokenH1696 is come to pass; and, behold, thou seestH7200 it. {mounts: or, engines of shot}
And thou hast saidH559 unto me, O LordH136 GODH3069, BuyH7069 thee the fieldH7704 for moneyH3701, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707; for the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. {for the: or, though the}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Behold, I am the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of all fleshH1320: is there any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for me?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it:
And the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against this cityH5892, shall comeH935 and setH3341 fireH784 on this cityH5892, and burnH8313 it with the housesH1004, upon whose roofsH1406 they have offered incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430, to provoke me to angerH3707.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 have only doneH6213 evilH7451 beforeH5869 me from their youthH5271: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have only provoked me to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of their handsH3027, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For this cityH5892 hath been to me as a provocation of mine angerH639 and of my furyH2534 from the dayH3117 that they builtH1129 it even unto this dayH3117; that I should removeH5493 it from before my faceH6440, {a provocation…: Heb. for my anger}
Because of all the evilH7451 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, which they have doneH6213 to provoke me to angerH3707, they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030, and the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And they have turnedH6437 unto me the backH6203, and not the faceH6440: though I taughtH3925 them, rising up earlyH7925 and teachingH3925 them, yet they have not hearkenedH8085 to receiveH3947 instructionH4148. {back: Heb. neck}
But they setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to defileH2930 it.
And they builtH1129 the high placesH1116 of BaalH1168, which are in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to cause their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fire unto MolechH4432; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my mindH3820, that they should doH6213 this abominationH8441, to cause JudahH3063 to sinH2398.
And now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning this cityH5892, whereof ye sayH559, It shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698;
Behold, I will gather them outH6908 of all countriesH776, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110; and I will bring them againH7725 unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safelyH983:
And they shall be my peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430:
And I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for everH3117, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their childrenH1121 afterH310 them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turn awayH7725 from themH310, to do them goodH3190; but I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they shall not departH5493 from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredlyH571 with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. {assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Like as I have broughtH935 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, so will I bringH935 upon them all the goodH2896 that I have promisedH1696 them.
And fieldsH7704 shall be boughtH7069 in this landH776, whereof ye sayH559, It is desolateH8077 without manH120 or beastH929; it is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
Men shall buyH7069 fieldsH7704 for moneyH3701, and subscribeH3789 evidencesH5612, and sealH2856 them, and takeH5749 witnessesH5707 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, and in the citiesH5892 of the valleyH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414 the secondH8145 time, while he was yet shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 the makerH6213 thereof, the LORDH3068 that formedH3335 it, to establishH3559 it; the LORDH3068 is his nameH8034; {the LORD is: or, JEHOVAH, etc}
CallH7121 unto me, and I will answerH6030 thee, and shewH5046 thee greatH1419 and mighty thingsH1219, which thou knowestH3045 not. {mighty: or, hidden}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning the housesH1004 of this cityH5892, and concerning the housesH1004 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, which are thrown downH5422 by the mountsH5550, and by the swordH2719;
They comeH935 to fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, but it is to fillH4390 them with the dead bodiesH6297 of menH120, whom I have slainH5221 in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and for all whose wickednessH7451 I have hidH5641 my faceH6440 from this cityH5892.
Behold, I will bringH5927 it healthH724 and cureH4832, and I will cureH7495 them, and will revealH1540 unto them the abundanceH6283 of peaceH7965 and truthH571.
And I will cause the captivityH7622 of JudahH3063 and the captivityH7622 of IsraelH3478 to returnH7725, and will buildH1129 them, as at the firstH7223.
And I will cleanseH2891 them from all their iniquityH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398 against me; and I will pardonH5545 all their iniquitiesH5771, whereby they have sinnedH2398, and whereby they have transgressedH6586 against me.
And it shall be to me a nameH8034 of joyH8342, a praiseH8416 and an honourH8597 before all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776, which shall hearH8085 all the goodH2896 that I doH6213 unto them: and they shall fearH6342 and trembleH7264 for all the goodnessH2896 and for all the prosperityH7965 that I procureH6213 unto it.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Again there shall be heardH8085 in this placeH4725, which ye sayH559 shall be desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, even in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, that are desolateH8074, without manH120, and without inhabitantH3427, and without beastH929,
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Again in this placeH4725, which is desolateH2720 without manH120 and without beastH929, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof, shall be an habitationH5116 of shepherdsH7462 causing their flocksH6629 to lie downH7257.
In the citiesH5892 of the mountainsH2022, in the citiesH5892 of the valeH8219, and in the citiesH5892 of the southH5045, and in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, shall the flocksH6629 pass againH5674 under the handsH3027 of him that tellethH4487 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will performH6965 that goodH2896 thingH1697 which I have promisedH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DavidH1732 shall neverH3808 wantH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; {David…: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 wantH3772 a manH376 beforeH6440 me to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to kindleH6999 meat offeringsH4503, and to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 continuallyH3117.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If ye can breakH6565 my covenantH1285 of the dayH3117, and my covenantH1285 of the nightH3915, and that there should not be dayH3119 and nightH3915 in their seasonH6256;
Then may also my covenantH1285 be brokenH6565 with DavidH1732 my servantH5650, that he should not have a sonH1121 to reignH4427 upon his throneH3678; and with the LevitesH3881 the priestsH3548, my ministersH8334.
As the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 cannot be numberedH5608, neither the sandH2344 of the seaH3220 measuredH4058: so will I multiplyH7235 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732 my servantH5650, and the LevitesH3881 that ministerH8334 unto me.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
The wordH1697 which came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, when NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and all his armyH2428, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 of his dominionH3027+H4475, and all the peopleH5971, foughtH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 thereof, sayingH559, {of his…: Heb. the dominion of his hand}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; GoH1980 and speakH559 to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and tellH559 him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784:
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}
Yet hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of thee, Thou shalt not dieH4191 by the swordH2719:
But thou shalt dieH4191 in peaceH7965: and with the burningsH4955 of thy fathersH1, the formerH7223 kingsH4428 which were beforeH6440 thee, so shall they burnH8313 odours for thee; and they will lamentH5594 thee, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! for I have pronouncedH1696 the wordH1697, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696 all these wordsH1697 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389,
When the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 foughtH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 that were leftH3498, against LachishH3923, and against AzekahH5825: for these defencedH4013 citiesH5892 remainedH7604 of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
This is the wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 which were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 unto them;
That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971 freeH2670, that none should serveH5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971.
But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533+H3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, sayingH559,
At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376 unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not unto me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241. {hath been…: or, hath sold himself}
And ye were nowH3117 turnedH7725, and had doneH6213 rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: {now: Heb. to day} {which…: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
But ye turnedH7725 and pollutedH2490 my nameH8034, and caused every manH376 his servantH5650, and every manH376 his handmaidH8198, whom ye had setH7971 at libertyH2670 at their pleasureH5315, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533, to be unto you for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Ye have not hearkenedH8085 unto me, in proclaimingH7121 libertyH1865, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, and every manH376 to his neighbourH7453: behold, I proclaimH7121 a libertyH1865 for you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, to the swordH2719, to the pestilenceH1698, and to the famineH7458; and I will makeH5414 you to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. {to be…: Heb. for a removing}
And I will giveH5414 the menH582 that have transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285, which have not performedH6965 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which they had madeH3772 beforeH6440 me, when they cutH3772 the calfH5695 in twainH8147, and passedH5674 between the partsH1335 thereof,
The princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JerusalemH3389, the eunuchsH5631, and the priestsH3548, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, which passedH5674 between the partsH1335 of the calfH5695;
I will even giveH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and their dead bodiesH5038 shall be for meatH3978 unto the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and his princesH8269 will I giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428, which are gone upH5927 from you.
Behold, I will commandH6680, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and cause them to returnH7725 to this cityH5892; and they shall fightH3898 against it, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784: and I will makeH5414 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 a desolationH8077 without an inhabitantH3427.
The wordH1697 which came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068 in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559,
GoH1980 unto the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397, and speakH1696 unto them, and bringH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, into oneH259 of the chambersH3957, and give them wineH3196 to drinkH8248.
Then I tookH3947 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of JeremiahH3414, the sonH1121 of HabaziniahH2262, and his brethrenH251, and all his sonsH1121, and the whole houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397;
And I broughtH935 them into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, into the chamberH3957 of the sonsH1121 of HananH2605, the sonH1121 of IgdaliahH3012, a manH376 of GodH430, which was byH681 the chamberH3957 of the princesH8269, which was aboveH4605 the chamberH3957 of MaaseiahH4641 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967, the keeperH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel}
And I setH5414 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397 potsH1375 fullH4392 of wineH3196, and cupsH3563, and I saidH559 unto them, DrinkH8354 ye wineH3196.
But they saidH559, We will drinkH8354 no wineH3196: for JonadabH3122 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us, sayingH559, Ye shall drinkH8354 no wineH3196, neither ye, nor your sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769:
Neither shall ye buildH1129 houseH1004, nor sowH2232 seedH2233, nor plantH5193 vineyardH3754, nor have any: but all your daysH3117 ye shall dwellH3427 in tentsH168; that ye may liveH2421 manyH7227 daysH3117 inH6440 the landH127 where ye be strangersH1481.
Thus have we obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 our fatherH1 in all that he hath chargedH6680 us, to drinkH8354 no wineH3196 all our daysH3117, we, our wivesH802, our sonsH1121, nor our daughtersH1323;
Nor to buildH1129 housesH1004 for us to dwell inH3427: neither have we vineyardH3754, nor fieldH7704, nor seedH2233:
But we have dwelt inH3427 tentsH168, and have obeyedH8085, and doneH6213 according to all that JonadabH3122 our fatherH1 commandedH6680 us.
But it came to pass, when NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927 into the landH776, that we saidH559, ComeH935, and let us goH935 to JerusalemH3389 for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, and for fearH6440 of the armyH2428 of the SyriansH758: so we dwellH3427 at JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; GoH1980 and tellH559 the menH376 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, Will ye not receiveH3947 instructionH4148 to hearkenH8085 to my wordsH1697? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
The wordsH1697 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394, that he commandedH6680 his sonsH1121 not to drinkH8354 wineH3196, are performedH6965; for unto this dayH3117 they drinkH8354 none, but obeyH8085 their father'sH1 commandmentH4687: notwithstanding I have spokenH1696 unto you, rising earlyH7925 and speakingH1696; but ye hearkenedH8085 not unto me.
I have sentH7971 also unto you all my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, rising up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 ye now every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amendH3190 your doingsH4611, and goH3212 not afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them, and ye shall dwell inH3427 the landH127 which I have givenH5414 to you and to your fathersH1: but ye have not inclinedH5186 your earH241, nor hearkenedH8085 unto me.
Because the sonsH1121 of JonadabH3082 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 have performedH6965 the commandmentH4687 of their fatherH1, which he commandedH6680 them; but this peopleH5971 hath not hearkenedH8085 unto me:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 upon JudahH3063 and upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them: because I have spokenH1696 unto them, but they have not heardH8085; and I have calledH7121 unto them, but they have not answeredH6030.
And JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto the houseH1004 of the RechabitesH7397, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Because ye have obeyedH8085 the commandmentH4687 of JonadabH3082 your fatherH1, and keptH8104 all his preceptsH4687, and doneH6213 according unto all that he hath commandedH6680 you:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; JonadabH3122 the sonH1121 of RechabH7394 shall not wantH3772 a manH376 to standH5975 beforeH6440 me for everH3117. {Jonadab…: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off from Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand, etc}
And it came to pass in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that this wordH1697 came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 thee a rollH4039 of a bookH5612, and writeH3789 therein all the wordsH1697 that I have spokenH1696 unto thee against IsraelH3478, and against JudahH3063, and against all the nationsH1471, from the dayH3117 I spakeH1696 unto thee, from the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977, even unto this dayH3117.
It may be that the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 will hearH8085 all the evilH7451 which I purposeH2803 to doH6213 unto them; that they may returnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771 and their sinH2403.
Then JeremiahH3414 calledH7121 BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374: and BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he had spokenH1696 unto him, upon a rollH4039 of a bookH5612.
And JeremiahH3414 commandedH6680 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, I am shut upH6113; I cannotH3201 goH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Therefore goH935 thou, and readH7121 in the rollH4039, which thou hast writtenH3789 from my mouthH6310, the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 upon the fastingH6685 dayH3117: and also thou shalt readH7121 them in the earsH241 of all JudahH3063 that come outH935 of their citiesH5892.
It may be they will presentH5307 their supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and will returnH7725 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870: for greatH1419 is the angerH639 and the furyH2534 that the LORDH3068 hath pronouncedH1696 against this peopleH5971. {they…: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 didH6213 according to all that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680 him, readingH7121 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And it came to pass in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the ninthH8671 monthH2320, that they proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to all the peopleH5971 in JerusalemH3389, and to all the peopleH5971 that cameH935 from the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 unto JerusalemH3389.
Then readH7121 BaruchH1263 in the bookH5612 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the chamberH3957 of GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, in the higherH5945 courtH2691, at the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971. {entry: or, door}
When MichaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of GemariahH1587, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, had heardH8085 out of the bookH5612 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068,
Then he went downH3381 into the king'sH4428 houseH1004, into the scribe'sH5608 chamberH3957: and, lo, all the princesH8269 satH3427 there, even ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, and ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and GemariahH1587 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608, and all the princesH8269.
Then MichaiahH4321 declaredH5046 unto them all the wordsH1697 that he had heardH8085, when BaruchH1263 readH7121 the bookH5612 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971.
Therefore all the princesH8269 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, unto BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TakeH3947 in thine handH3027 the rollH4039 wherein thou hast readH7121 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, and comeH3212. So BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374 tookH3947 the rollH4039 in his handH3027, and cameH935 unto them.
And they saidH559 unto him, Sit downH3427 now, and readH7121 it in our earsH241. So BaruchH1263 readH7121 it in their earsH241.
Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 all the wordsH1697, they were afraidH6342 bothH413 oneH376 and otherH7453, and saidH559 unto BaruchH1263, We will surelyH5046 tellH5046 the kingH4428 of all these wordsH1697.
And they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, TellH5046 us now, How didst thou writeH3789 all these wordsH1697 at his mouthH6310?
Then BaruchH1263 answeredH559 them, He pronouncedH7121 all these wordsH1697 unto me with his mouthH6310, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 in the bookH5612.
Then saidH559 the princesH8269 unto BaruchH1263, GoH3212, hideH5641 thee, thou and JeremiahH3414; and let no manH376 knowH3045 whereH375 ye be.
And they went inH935 to the kingH4428 into the courtH2691, but they laid upH6485 the rollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5608, and toldH5046 all the wordsH1697 in the earsH241 of the kingH4428.
So the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to fetchH3947 the rollH4039: and he tookH3947 it out of ElishamaH476 the scribe'sH5608 chamberH3957. And JehudiH3065 readH7121 it in the earsH241 of the kingH4428, and in the earsH241 of all the princesH8269 which stoodH5975 besideH5921 the kingH4428.
Now the kingH4428 satH3427 in the winterhouseH1004+H2779 in the ninthH8671 monthH2320: and there was a fire on the hearthH254 burningH1197 beforeH6440 him.
And it came to pass, that when JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 leavesH1817, he cutH7167 it with the penknifeH8593+H5608, and castH7993 it into the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254, until all the rollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was on the hearthH254.
Yet they were not afraidH6342, nor rentH7167 their garmentsH899, neither the kingH4428, nor any of his servantsH5650 that heardH8085 all these wordsH1697.
Nevertheless ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 had made intercessionH6293 to the kingH4428 that he would not burnH8313 the rollH4039: but he would not hearH8085 them.
But the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4429, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655, to takeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030: but the LORDH3068 hidH5641 them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414, afterH310 that the kingH4428 had burnedH8313 the rollH4039, and the wordsH1697 which BaruchH1263 wroteH3789 at the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 thee againH7725 anotherH312 rollH4039, and writeH3789 in it all the formerH7223 wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 rollH4039, which JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath burnedH8313.
And thou shalt sayH559 to JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thou hast burnedH8313 this rollH4039, sayingH559, Why hast thou writtenH3789 therein, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall certainlyH935 comeH935 and destroyH7843 this landH776, and shall cause to ceaseH7673 from thence manH120 and beastH929?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; He shall have none to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732: and his dead bodyH5038 shall be cast outH7993 in the dayH3117 to the heatH2721, and in the nightH3915 to the frostH7140.
And I will punishH6485 him and his seedH2233 and his servantsH5650 for their iniquityH5771; and I will bringH935 upon them, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and upon the menH376 of JudahH3063, all the evilH7451 that I have pronouncedH1696 against them; but they hearkenedH8085 not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Then tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 anotherH312 rollH4039, and gaveH5414 it to BaruchH1263 the scribeH5608, the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374; who wroteH3789 therein from the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had burnedH8313 in the fireH784: and there were addedH3254 besides unto them manyH7227 likeH1992 wordsH1697. {like: Heb. as they}
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, cameH935 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and all his armyH2428 against JerusalemH3389, and they besiegedH6696 it.
And in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the cityH5892 was broken upH1234.
And all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935, and satH3427 in the middleH8432 gateH8179, even NergalsharezerH5371, SamgarneboH5562, SarsechimH8310, RabsarisH7249, NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, with all the residueH7611 of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass, that when ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 them, and all the menH582 of warH4421, then they fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the king'sH4428 gardenH1588, by the gateH8179 betwixt the two wallsH2346: and he went outH3318 the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the Chaldeans'H3778 armyH2428 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947 him, they brought him upH5927 to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake with him judgments}
Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him with chainsH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894. {with…: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 into BabylonH894 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to him, with the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604. {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1800 of the peopleH5971, which had nothingH3972, in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and gaveH5414 them vineyardsH3754 and fieldsH3010 at the same timeH3117. {at the…: Heb. in that day}
Now NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave chargeH6680 concerning JeremiahH3414 toH3027 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, sayingH559, {to: Heb. by the hand of}
TakeH3947 him, and look wellH5869+H7760 to him, and doH6213 him no harmH3972+H7451; but doH6213 unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto thee. {look…: Heb. set thine eyes upon him}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 sentH7971, and NebushasbanH5021, RabsarisH7249, and NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, and all the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH7227;
Even they sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and committedH5414 him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carryH3318 him homeH1004: so he dweltH3427 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, while he was shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and speakH559 to EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished in that dayH3117 beforeH6440 thee.
But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016.
For I will surelyH4422 deliverH4422 thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307 by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall be for a preyH7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trustH982 in me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
The wordH1697 that JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, when he had writtenH3789 these wordsH1697 in a bookH5612 at the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, unto thee, O BaruchH1263;
Thou didst sayH559, WoeH188 is me now! for the LORDH3068 hath addedH3254 griefH3015 to my sorrowH4341; I faintedH3021 in my sighingH585, and I findH4672 no restH4496.
Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 saithH559 thus; Behold, that which I have builtH1129 will I break downH2040, and that which I have plantedH5193 I will pluck upH5428, even this whole landH776.
And seekestH1245 thou great thingsH1419 for thyself? seekH1245 them not: for, behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon all fleshH1320, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but thy lifeH5315 will I giveH5414 unto thee for a preyH7998 in all placesH4725 whither thou goestH3212.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the GentilesH1471;
Against EgyptH4714, against the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
OrderH6186 ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH6793, and draw nearH5066 to battleH4421.
HarnessH631 the horsesH5483; and get upH5927, ye horsemenH6571, and stand forthH3320 with your helmetsH3553; furbishH4838 the spearsH7420, and put onH3847 the brigandinesH5630.
Wherefore have I seenH7200 them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472 away backH268? and their mighty onesH1368 are beaten downH3807, and are fledH5127 apaceH4498, and look not backH6437: for fearH4032 was round aboutH5439, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {beaten…: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled…: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swiftH7031 flee awayH5127, nor the mighty manH1368 escapeH4422; they shall stumbleH3782, and fallH5307 toward the northH6828 byH3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Who is this that cometh upH5927 as a floodH2975, whose watersH4325 are movedH1607 as the riversH5104?
EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927 like a floodH2975, and his watersH4325 are movedH1607 like the riversH5104; and he saithH559, I will go upH5927, and will coverH3680 the earthH776; I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
Come upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. {the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398, and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Go upH5927 into GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235 medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. {thou shalt…: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of thy shameH7036, and thy cryH6682 hath filledH4390 the landH776: for the mighty manH1368 hath stumbledH3782 against the mightyH1368, and they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 togetherH3162.
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee.
Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502? they stoodH5975 not, because the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 them.
He made manyH7235 to fallH3782, yea, oneH376 fellH5307 upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us go againH7725 to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238 swordH2719. {made…: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cryH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674 the time appointedH4150.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.
O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH3627+H1473: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427. {furnish…: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935; it cometh outH935 of the northH6828.
Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437, and are fled awayH5127 togetherH3162: they did not standH5975, because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486. {fatted…: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212 with an armyH2428, and comeH935 against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086.
They shall cut downH3772 her forestH3293, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713; because they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH369+H4557.
The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001; she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559; Behold, I will punishH6485 the multitudeH527+H528 of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But fearH3372 not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467 thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and be in restH8252 and at easeH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729.
FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352. {not leave…: or, not utterly cut thee off}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the PhilistinesH6430, before that PharaohH6547 smoteH5221 GazaH5804. {Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, watersH4325 rise upH5927 out of the northH6828, and shall be an overflowingH7857 floodH5158, and shall overflowH7857 the landH776, and all that is thereinH4393; the cityH5892, and them that dwellH3427 therein: then the menH120 shall cryH2199, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall howlH3213. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
At the noiseH6963 of the stampingH8161 of the hoofsH6541 of his strongH47 horses, at the rushingH7494 of his chariotsH7393, and at the rumblingH1995 of his wheelsH1534, the fathersH1 shall not look backH6437 to their childrenH1121 for feeblenessH7510 of handsH3027;
Because of the dayH3117 that comethH935 to spoilH7703 all the PhilistinesH6430, and to cut offH3772 from TyrusH6865 and ZidonH6721 every helperH5826 that remainethH8300: for the LORDH3068 will spoilH7703 the PhilistinesH6430, the remnantH7611 of the countryH339 of CaphtorH3731. {the country: Heb. the isle}
BaldnessH7144 is comeH935 upon GazaH5804; AshkelonH831 is cut offH1820 with the remnantH7611 of their valleyH6010: how long wilt thou cutH1413 thyself?
OH1945 thou swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, how long will it be ereH3808 thou be quietH8252? put upH622 thyself into thy scabbardH8593, restH7280, and be stillH1826. {put…: Heb. gather thyself}
How can it be quietH8252, seeing the LORDH3068 hath given it a chargeH6680 against AshkelonH831, and against the seaH3220 shoreH2348? there hath he appointedH3259 it. {How…: Heb. How canst thou}
Against MoabH4124 thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiledH7703: KiriathaimH7156 is confoundedH3001 and takenH3920: MisgabH4869 is confoundedH3001 and dismayedH2865. {Misgab: or, the high place}
There shall be no more praiseH8416 of MoabH4124: in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against it; comeH3212, and let us cut it offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Also thou shalt be cut downH1826, O MadmenH4086; the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310. {be cut…: or, be brought to silence} {pursue…: Heb. go after thee}
A voiceH6963 of cryingH6818 shall be from HoronaimH2773, spoilingH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085.
For in the going upH4608 of LuhithH3872 continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall go upH5927; for in the going downH4174 of HoronaimH2773 the enemiesH6862 have heardH8085 a cryH6818 of destructionH7667. {continual…: Heb. weeping with weeping}
FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057. {the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou shalt also be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473 with his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.
And the spoilerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422: the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559.
GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that it may fleeH5323 and get awayH3318: for the citiesH5892 thereof shall be desolateH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004.
CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of the LORDH3068 deceitfullyH7423, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818. {deceitfully: or, negligently}
MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. {remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him wanderersH6808, that shall cause him to wanderH6808, and shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035.
And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of BethelH1008 their confidenceH4009.
How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 and strongH2428 menH582 for the warH4421?
MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703, and gone upH5927 out of her citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {his…: Heb. the choice of}
The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966.
All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
Thou daughterH1323 that dost inhabitH3427 DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the spoilerH7703 of MoabH4124 shall comeH5927 upon thee, and he shall destroyH7843 thy strong holdsH4013.
O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and espyH6822; askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422, and sayH559, What is doneH1961? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
MoabH4124 is confoundedH3001; for it is broken downH2865: howlH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703,
And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776; upon HolonH2473, and upon JahazahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158,
And upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon BethdiblathaimH1015,
And upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon BethgamulH1014, and upon BethmeonH1010,
And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138.
The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814.
For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy. {skippedst…: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwellH3427 in MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH7931 in the rockH5553, and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 in the sidesH5676 of the hole'sH6354 mouthH6310.
We have heardH8085 the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, (he is exceedingH3966 proudH1343) his loftinessH1363, and his arrogancyH1346, and his prideH1347, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820.
I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; but it shall not be so; his liesH907 shall not so effectH6213 it. {his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howlH3213 for MoabH4124, and I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124; mine heart shall mournH1897 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025.
O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270: thy plantsH5189 are gone overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: the spoilerH7703 is fallenH5307 upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210.
And joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 is takenH622 from the plentiful fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to failH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; their shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959.
From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, and even unto JahazH3096, have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, as an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for the watersH4325 also of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placesH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6.
For every headH7218 shall be baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 shall be cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. {clipped: Heb. diminished}
There shall be lamentationH4553 generally upon all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124, and in the streetsH7339 thereof: for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They shall howlH3213, saying, How is it broken downH2865! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 be a derisionH7814 and a dismayingH4288 to all them aboutH5439 him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124.
KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strong holdsH4679 are surprisedH8610, and the mighty men'sH1368 heartsH3820 in MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887. {Kerioth: or, The cities}
And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068.
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, shall be upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He that fleethH5127+H5211 fromH6440 the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth upH5927 out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon it, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They that fledH5127 stoodH5975 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 because of the forceH3581: but a fireH784 shall come forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midstH996 of SihonH5511, and shall devourH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the headH6936 of the tumultuousH7588 onesH1121. {tumultuous…: Heb. children of noise}
WoeH188 be unto thee, O MoabH4124! the peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 perishethH6: for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 captivesH7628, and thy daughtersH1323 captivesH7633. {captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
Concerning the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Hath IsraelH3478 no sonsH1121? hath he no heirH3423? why then doth their kingH4428 inheritH3423 GadH1410, and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in his citiesH5892? {Concerning: or, Against} {their king: or, Melcom}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068, that I will cause an alarmH8643 of warH4421 to be heardH8085 in RabbahH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983; and it shall be a desolateH8077 heapH8510, and her daughtersH1323 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784: then shall IsraelH3478 be heirH3423 unto them that were his heirsH3423, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HowlH3213, O HeshbonH2809, for AiH5857 is spoiledH7703: cryH6817, ye daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237, girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242; lamentH5594, and run to and froH7751 by the hedgesH1448; for their kingH4428 shall goH3212 into captivityH1473, and his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162. {their king: or, Melcom}
Wherefore gloriestH1984 thou in the valleysH6010, thy flowingH2100 valleyH6010, O backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? that trustedH982 in her treasuresH214, saying, Who shall comeH935 unto me? {thy…: or, thy valley floweth away}
Behold, I will bringH935 a fearH6343 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, from all those that be aboutH5439 thee; and ye shall be driven outH5080 every manH376 right forthH6440; and none shall gather upH6908 him that wanderethH5074.
And afterwardH310 I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him. {turn…: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767. {till…: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his secret placesH4565, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiledH7703, and his brethrenH251, and his neighboursH7934, and he is not.
LeaveH5800 thy fatherless childrenH3490, I will preserve them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in me.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, they whose judgmentH4941 was not to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 have assuredlyH8354 drunkenH8354; and art thou he that shall altogetherH5352 go unpunishedH5352? thou shalt not go unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH8354 drinkH8354 of it.
For I have swornH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall become a desolationH8047, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2721, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.
I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421.
For, lo, I will makeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120.
Thy terriblenessH8606 hath deceivedH5377 thee, and the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820, O thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdestH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagleH5404, I will bring thee downH3381 from thence, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 the LORDH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hearH8085 the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against EdomH123; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationsH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307, at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 seaH3220. {Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 and flyH1675 as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over BozrahH1224: and at that dayH3117 shall the heartH3820 of the mighty menH1368 of EdomH123 be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887.
Concerning DamascusH1834. HamathH2574 is confoundedH954, and ArpadH774: for they have heardH8085 evilH7451 tidingsH8052: they are faintheartedH4127; there is sorrowH1674 on the seaH3220; it cannotH3201 be quietH8252. {fainthearted: Heb. melted} {on…: or, as on the sea}
DamascusH1834 is waxed feebleH7503, and turnethH6437 herself to fleeH5127, and fearH7374 hath seizedH2388 on her: anguishH6869 and sorrowsH2256 have takenH270 her, as a woman in travailH3205.
How is the cityH5892 of praiseH8416 not leftH5800, the cityH7151 of my joyH4885!
Therefore her young menH970 shall fallH5307 in her streetsH7339, and all the menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of DamascusH1834, and it shall consumeH398 the palacesH759 of BenhadadH1130.
Concerning KedarH6938, and concerning the kingdomsH4467 of HazorH2674, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall smiteH5221, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; AriseH6965 ye, go upH5927 to KedarH6938, and spoilH7703 the menH1121 of the eastH6924.
Their tentsH168 and their flocksH6629 shall they take awayH3947: they shall takeH5375 to themselves their curtainsH3407, and all their vesselsH3627, and their camelsH1581; and they shall cryH7121 unto them, FearH4032 is on every sideH5439.
FleeH5127, getH5110 you far offH3966, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O ye inhabitantsH3427 of HazorH2674, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; for NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath taken counselH6098+H3289 against you, and hath conceivedH2803 a purposeH4284 against you. {get…: Heb. flit greatly}
AriseH6965, get you upH5927 unto the wealthyH7961 nationH1471, that dwellethH3427 without careH983, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which have neither gatesH1817 nor barsH1280, which dwellH7931 aloneH910. {wealthy: or, that is at ease}
And their camelsH1581 shall be a bootyH957, and the multitudeH1995 of their cattleH4735 a spoilH7998: and I will scatterH2219 into all windsH7307 them that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285; and I will bringH935 their calamityH343 from all sidesH5676 thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {in…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled}
And HazorH2674 shall be a dwellingH4583 for dragonsH8577, and a desolationH8077 forH5704 everH5769: there shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, nor any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against ElamH5867 in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4438 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Behold, I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of ElamH5867, the chiefH7225 of their mightH1369.
And upon ElamH5867 will I bringH935 the fourH702 windsH7307 from the fourH702 quartersH7098 of heavenH8064, and will scatterH2219 them toward all those windsH7307; and there shall be no nationH1471 whither the outcastsH5080 of ElamH5867+H5769 shall not comeH935.
For I will cause ElamH5867 to be dismayedH2865 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and beforeH6440 them that seekH1245 their lifeH5315: and I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon them, even my fierceH2740 angerH639, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and I will sendH7971 the swordH2719 afterH310 them, till I have consumedH3615 them:
And I will setH7760 my throneH3678 in ElamH5867, and will destroyH6 from thence the kingH4428 and the princesH8269, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But it shall come to pass in the latterH319 daysH3117, that I will bring againH7725+H7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of ElamH5867, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. {began…: Heb. reigned}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
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.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 was soreH2388 in the cityH5892, so that there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
Then the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the two wallsH2346, which was by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588; (now the ChaldeansH3778 were by the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and they wentH3212 by the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him.
Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carried him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869: he slewH7819 also all the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247.
Then he put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in chainsH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004+H6486 till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
Now in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, which was the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, which servedH5975+H6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, into JerusalemH3389, {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before}
And burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and all the housesH1004 of the greatH1419 men, burnedH8313 he with fireH784:
And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 all the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 certain of the poorH1803 of the peopleH5971, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the restH3499 of the multitudeH527.
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 certain of the poorH1803 of the landH776 for vinedressersH3755 and for husbandmenH3009.
Also the pillarsH5982 of brassH5178 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the basesH4350, and the brasenH5178 seaH3220 that was in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the ChaldeansH3778 brakeH7665, and carriedH5375 all the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894.
The caldronsH5518 also, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the bowlsH4219, and the spoonsH3709, and all the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, took they awayH3947. {shovels: or, instruments to remove the ashes} {bowls: or, basons}
And the basonsH5592, and the firepansH4289, and the bowlsH4219, and the caldronsH5518, and the candlesticksH4501, and the spoonsH3709, and the cupsH4518; that which was of goldH2091 in goldH2091, and that which was of silverH3701 in silverH3701, tookH3947 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 awayH3947. {firepans: or, censers}
The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, oneH259 seaH3220, and twelveH8147+H6240 brasenH5178 bullsH1241 that were under the basesH4350, which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: the brassH5178 of all these vesselsH3627 was without weightH4948. {the brass: Heb. their brass}
And concerning the pillarsH5982, the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083+H6240 cubitsH520; and a filletH2339 of twelveH8147+H6240 cubitsH520 did compassH5437 it; and the thicknessH5672 thereof was fourH702 fingersH676: it was hollowH5014. {fillet: Heb. thread}
And a chapiterH3805 of brassH5178 was upon it; and the heightH6967 of oneH259 chapiterH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, with networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 upon the chapitersH3805 round aboutH5439, all of brassH5178. The secondH8145 pillarH5982 also and the pomegranatesH7416 were like unto these.
And there were ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 pomegranatesH7416 on a sideH7307; and all the pomegranatesH7416 upon the networkH7639 were an hundredH3967 round aboutH5439.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold}
He tookH3947 also out of the cityH5892 anH259 eunuchH5631, which had the chargeH6496 of the menH582 of warH4421; and sevenH7651 menH582 of them that were nearH7200 the king'sH4428 personH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892. {were near…: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and put them to deathH4191 in RiblahH7247 in the landH127 of HamathH2574. Thus JudahH3063 was carried away captiveH1540 out of his own landH776.
This is the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 carried away captiveH1540: in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 threeH7969 thousandH505 JewsH3064 and threeH7969 and twentyH6242:
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 he carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 personsH5315: {persons: Heb. souls}
In the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: all the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, in the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the first yearH8141 of his reignH4438 lifted upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and brought him forthH3318 out of prisonH1004+H3628,
And spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 unto him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH4605 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894, {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8138 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did continuallyH8548 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And for his dietH737, there was a continualH8548 dietH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, everyH3117 dayH3117 a portionH1697 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416. {every…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, I cannotH3045 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatsoever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696.
Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thou therefore gird upH247 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, and speakH1696 unto them all that I commandH6680 thee: be not dismayedH2865 at their facesH6440, lest I confoundH2865 thee beforeH6440 them. {confound: or, break to pieces}
For, behold, IH589 have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defencedH4013 cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasenH5178 wallsH2346 against the whole landH776, against the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, against the princesH8269 thereof, against the priestsH3548 thereof, and against the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
I spakeH1696 also to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 according to all these wordsH1697, sayingH559, BringH935 your necksH6677 under the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and serveH5647 him and his peopleH5971, and liveH2421.
And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, and in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809 the prophetH5030, which was of GibeonH1391, spakeH559 unto me in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 allG3956 theseG5128 sayingsG3056, he saidG2036 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101,
Ye knowG1492 thatG3754 afterG3326 twoG1417 daysG2250 isG1096 the feast of the passoverG3957, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 is betrayedG3860 toG1519 be crucifiedG4717.
ThenG5119 assembled togetherG4863 the chief priestsG749, andG2532 the scribesG1122, andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992, untoG1519 the palaceG833 of the high priestG749, whoG3588 was calledG3004 CaiaphasG2533,
AndG2532 consultedG4823 thatG2443 they might takeG2902 JesusG2424 by subtiltyG1388, andG2532 killG615 him.
ButG1161 they saidG3004, NotG3361 onG1722 the feastG1859 day, lestG3363 there beG1096 an uproarG2351 amongG1722 the peopleG2992.
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 wasG1096 inG1722 BethanyG963, inG1722 the houseG3614 of SimonG4613 the leperG3015,
There cameG4334 unto himG846 a womanG1135 havingG2192 an alabaster boxG211 of very preciousG927 ointmentG3464, andG2532 poured itG2708 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776, as he satG345 at meat.
ButG1161 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 sawG1492 it, they had indignationG23, sayingG3004, ToG1519 what purposeG5101 is thisG3778 wasteG684?
ForG1063 thisG5124 ointmentG3464 mightG1410 have been soldG4097 for muchG4183, andG2532 givenG1325 to the poorG4434.
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 understoodG1097 it, he saidG2036 unto themG846, WhyG5101 trouble yeG2873+G3930 the womanG1135? forG1063 she hath wroughtG2038 a goodG2570 workG2041 uponG1519 meG1691.
ForG1063 ye haveG2192 the poorG4434 alwaysG3842 withG3326 youG1438; butG1161 meG1691 ye haveG2192 notG3756 alwaysG3842.
For in thatG1063 sheG3778+G846 hath pouredG906 thisG5124 ointmentG3464 onG1909 myG3450 bodyG4983, she didG4160 it forG4314 myG3165 burialG1779.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WheresoeverG3699+G1437 thisG5124 gospelG2098 shall be preachedG2784 inG1722 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, there shall alsoG2532 this, thatG3739 this womanG3778+G846 hath doneG4160, be toldG2980 forG1519 a memorialG3422 of herG846.
ThenG5119 oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, calledG3004 JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, wentG4198 untoG4314 the chief priestsG749,
And saidG2036 unto them, WhatG5101 will yeG2309 giveG1325 meG3427, andG2504 I will deliverG3860 himG846 unto youG5213? AndG1161 they covenantedG2476 with himG846 for thirtyG5144 pieces of silverG694.
AndG2532 fromG575 that timeG5119 he soughtG2212 opportunityG2120 toG2443 betrayG3860 himG846.
NowG1161 the firstG4413 day of the feast of unleavened breadG106 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424, sayingG3004 unto himG846, WhereG4226 wilt thouG2309 that we prepareG2090 for theeG4671 to eatG5315 the passoverG3957?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, GoG5217 intoG1519 the cityG4172 toG4314 such a manG1170, andG2532 sayG2036 unto himG846, The MasterG1320 saithG3004, MyG3450 timeG2540 isG2076 at handG1451; I will keepG4160 the passoverG3957 atG4314 thy houseG4571 withG3326 myG3450 disciplesG3101.
AndG2532 the disciplesG3101 didG4160 asG5613 JesusG2424 had appointedG4929 themG846; andG2532 they made readyG2090 the passoverG3957.
NowG1161 when the evenG3798 was comeG1096, he sat downG345 withG3326 the twelveG1427.
AndG2532 as theyG846 did eatG2068, he saidG2036, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 oneG1520 ofG1537 youG5216 shall betrayG3860 meG3165.
AndG2532 they were exceedingG4970 sorrowfulG3076, and beganG756 every oneG1538 of themG846 to sayG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, isG1510 itG3385 IG1473?
AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, He that dippethG1686 his handG5495 withG3326 meG1700 inG1722 the dishG5165, the sameG3778 shall betrayG3860 meG3165.
The SonG5207 of manG444 goethG5217 asG2531 it is writtenG1125 ofG4012 himG846: butG1161 woeG3759 unto thatG1565 manG444 byG1223 whomG3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 is betrayedG3860! it had beenG2258 goodG2570 for thatG1565 manG846 ifG1487 heG444 hadG1080 notG3756 been bornG1080.
ThenG1161 JudasG2455, whichG3588 betrayedG3860 himG846, answeredG611 and saidG2036, MasterG4461, isG1510 itG3385 IG1473? He saidG3004 unto himG846, ThouG4771 hast saidG2036.
AndG1161 as theyG846 were eatingG2068, JesusG2424 tookG2983 breadG740, andG2532 blessedG2127 it, and brakeG2806 it, andG2532 gaveG1325 it to the disciplesG3101, andG2532 saidG2036, TakeG2983, eatG5315; thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bodyG4983. {blessed it: many Greek copies have gave thanks}
AndG2532 he tookG2983 the cupG4221, andG2532 gave thanksG2168, and gaveG1325 it to themG846, sayingG3004, Drink yeG4095 allG3956 ofG1537 itG846;
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bloodG129 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, whichG3588 is shedG1632 forG4012 manyG4183 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266.
ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, I willG4095 notG3754+G3364 drinkG4095 henceforthG575+G737 ofG1537 thisG5127 fruitG1081 of the vineG288, untilG2193 thatG1565 dayG2250 whenG3752 I drinkG4095 itG846 newG2537 withG3326 youG5216 inG1722 myG3450 Father'sG3962 kingdomG932.
AndG2532 when they had sung an hymnG5214, they went outG1831 intoG1519 the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636. {hymn: or, psalm}
ThenG5119 saithG3004 JesusG2424 unto themG846, AllG3956 yeG5210 shall be offendedG4624 becauseG1722 of meG1722+G1698 thisG5026 nightG3571: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will smiteG3960 the shepherdG4166, andG2532 the sheepG4263 of the flockG4167 shall be scattered abroadG1287.
ButG1161 afterG3326 IG3165 am risen againG1453, I will go beforeG4254 youG5209 intoG1519 GalileeG1056.
PeterG4074 answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 unto himG846, ThoughG1499 allG3956 men shall be offendedG4624 becauseG1722 of theeG4671, yet will IG1473 neverG3763 be offendedG4624. {offended: or, though the faith of other men should be shaken and fail, yet mine will be firm and constant}
JesusG2424 saidG5346 unto himG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ThatG3754 thisG1722+G5026 nightG3571, beforeG4250 the cockG220 crowG5455, thou shalt denyG533 meG3165 thriceG5151.
PeterG4074 saidG3004 unto himG846, ThoughG2579 IG3165 shouldG1163 dieG599 withG4862 theeG4671, yetG3364 will IG533 notG3364 denyG533 theeG4571. LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 saidG2036 allG3956 the disciplesG3101.
ThenG5119 comethG2064 JesusG2424 withG3326 themG846 untoG1519 a placeG5564 calledG3004 GethsemaneG1068, andG2532 saithG3004 unto the disciplesG3101, Sit yeG2523 hereG847, whileG2193+G3739 I goG565 and prayG4336 yonderG1563.
AndG2532 he took with himG3880 PeterG4074 andG2532 the twoG1417 sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199, and beganG756 to be sorrowfulG3076 andG2532 very heavyG85.
ThenG5119 saith heG3004 unto themG846, MyG3450 soulG5590 isG2076 exceeding sorrowfulG4036, even untoG2193 deathG2288: tarry yeG3306 hereG5602, andG2532 watchG1127 withG3326 meG1700.
AndG2532 he wentG4281 a littleG3397 furtherG4281, and fellG4098 onG1909 hisG846 faceG4383, andG2532 prayedG4336, sayingG3004, O myG3450 FatherG3962, ifG1487 it beG2076 possibleG1415, letG3928 thisG5124 cupG4221 passG3928 fromG575 meG1700: neverthelessG4133 notG3756 asG5613 IG1473 willG2309, butG235 asG5613 thouG4771 wilt.
AndG2532 he comethG2064 untoG4314 the disciplesG3101, andG2532 findethG2147 themG846 asleepG2518, andG2532 saithG3004 unto PeterG4074, WhatG3779, could yeG2480 notG3756 watchG1127 withG3326 meG1700 oneG3391 hourG5610?
WatchG1127 andG2532 prayG4336, thatG3363 ye enterG1525 notG3363 intoG1519 temptationG3986: the spiritG4151 indeedG3303 is willingG4289, butG1161 the fleshG4561 is weakG772.
He went awayG565 againG3825 theG1537 second timeG1208, and prayedG4336, sayingG3004, O myG3450 FatherG3962, ifG1487 thisG5124 cupG4221 mayG1410 notG3756 pass awayG3928 fromG575 meG1700, exceptG3362 I drinkG4095 itG846, thyG4675 willG2307 be doneG1096.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 and foundG2147 themG846 asleepG2518 againG3825: forG1063 theirG846 eyesG3788 wereG2258 heavyG916.
AndG2532 he leftG863 themG846, and went awayG565 againG3825, and prayedG4336+G1537 the third timeG5154, sayingG2036 the sameG846 wordsG3056.
ThenG5119 cometh heG2064 toG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, andG2532 saithG3004 unto themG846, Sleep onG2518 nowG3063, andG2532 take your restG373: beholdG2400, the hourG5610 is at handG1448, andG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 is betrayedG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of sinnersG268.
RiseG1453, let us be goingG71: beholdG2400, he is at handG1448 that doth betrayG3860 meG3165.
AndG2532 whileG2089 heG846 yetG2089 spakeG2980, loG2400, JudasG2455, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, cameG2064, andG2532 withG3326 himG846 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 stavesG3586, fromG575 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992.
NowG1161 he that betrayedG3860 himG846 gaveG1325 themG846 a signG4592, sayingG3004, WhomsoeverG3739+G302 I shall kissG5368, that sameG846 isG2076 heG846: holdG2902 himG846 fastG2902.
AndG2532 forthwithG2112 he cameG4334 to JesusG2424, and saidG2036, HailG5463, masterG4461; andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, FriendG2083, whereforeG1909+G3739 art thou comeG3918? ThenG5119 came theyG4334, and laidG1911 handsG5495 onG1909 JesusG2424, andG2532 tookG2902 himG846.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, oneG1520 of them which were withG3326 JesusG2424 stretched outG1614 his handG5495, and drewG645 hisG846 swordG3162, andG2532 struckG3960 a servantG1401 of the high priest'sG749, and smote offG851 hisG846 earG5621.
ThenG5119 saidG3004 JesusG2424 unto himG846, Put up againG654 thyG4675 swordG3162 intoG1519 hisG846 placeG5117: forG1063 all theyG3956 that takeG2983 the swordG3162 shall perishG622 withG1722 the swordG3162.
Thinkest thouG1380 thatG3754 I cannotG3756+G1410 nowG737 prayG3870 to myG3450 FatherG3962, andG2532 he shall presently giveG3936 meG3427 moreG4119 thanG2228 twelveG1427 legionsG3003 of angelsG32?
But howG4459 thenG3767 shall the scripturesG1124 be fulfilledG4137, thatG3754 thusG3779 it mustG1163 beG1096?
InG1722 that sameG1565 hourG5610 saidG2036 JesusG2424 to the multitudesG3793, Are ye come outG1831 asG5613 againstG1909 a thiefG3027 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 stavesG3586 for to takeG4815 meG3165? I satG2516 dailyG2250+G2596 withG4314 youG5209 teachingG1321 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 ye laidG2902 noG3756 holdG2902 on meG3165.
ButG1161 allG3650 thisG5124 was doneG1096, thatG2443 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396 might be fulfilledG4137. ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 forsookG863 himG846, and fledG5343.
AndG1161 they that had laid holdG2902 on JesusG2424 led him awayG520 toG4314 CaiaphasG2533 the high priestG749, whereG3699 the scribesG1122 andG2532 the eldersG4245 were assembledG4863.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 followedG190 himG846 afar offG575+G3113 untoG2193 the high priest'sG749 palaceG833, andG2532 wentG1525 inG2080, and satG2521 withG3326 the servantsG5257, to seeG1492 the endG5056.
NowG1161 the chief priestsG749, andG2532 eldersG4245, andG2532 allG3650 the councilG4892, soughtG2212 false witnessG5577 againstG2596 JesusG2424, toG3704 putG2289 himG846 to deathG2289;
ButG2532 foundG2147 noneG3756: yeaG2532, though manyG4183 false witnessesG5575 cameG4334, yet found theyG2147 noneG3756+G1161. At the lastG5305 cameG4334 twoG1417 false witnessesG5575,
And saidG2036, ThisG3778 fellow saidG5346, I am ableG1410 to destroyG2647 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, andG2532 to buildG3618 itG846 inG1223 threeG5140 daysG2250.
AndG2532 the high priestG749 aroseG450, and saidG2036 unto himG846, Answerest thouG611 nothingG3762? whatG5101 is it which theseG3778 witness againstG2649 theeG4675?
ButG1161 JesusG2424 held his peaceG4623. AndG2532 the high priestG749 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto himG846, I adjureG1844 theeG4571 byG2596 the livingG2198 GodG2316, thatG2443 thou tellG2036 usG2254 whetherG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, ThouG4771 hast saidG2036: neverthelessG4133 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, HereafterG737+G575 shall ye seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 sittingG2521 onG1537 the right handG1188 of powerG1411, andG2532 comingG2064 inG1909 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772.
ThenG5119 the high priestG749 rentG1284 hisG846 clothesG2440, sayingG3004+G3754, He hath spoken blasphemyG987; whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 have weG2192 of witnessesG3144? beholdG2396, nowG3568 ye have heardG191 hisG846 blasphemyG988.
WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213? They answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036, He isG2076 guiltyG1777 of deathG2288.
ThenG5119 did they spitG1716 inG1519 hisG846 faceG4383, andG2532 buffetedG2852 himG846; andG1161 others smote him with the palms of their handsG4474, {the palms…: or, rods}
SayingG3004, ProphesyG4395 unto usG2254, thou ChristG5547, WhoG5101 is heG2076 that smoteG3817 theeG4571?
NowG1161 PeterG4074 satG2521 withoutG1854 inG1722 the palaceG833: andG2532 aG3391 damselG3814 cameG4334 unto himG846, sayingG3004, ThouG4771 alsoG2532 wastG2258 withG3326 JesusG2424 of GalileeG1057.
ButG1161 he deniedG720 beforeG1715 them allG3956, sayingG3004, I knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 thou sayestG3004.
AndG1161 when heG846 was gone outG1831 intoG1519 the porchG4440, anotherG243 maid sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto them that were thereG1563, ThisG3778 fellow wasG2258 alsoG2532 withG3326 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.
AndG2532 againG3825 he deniedG720 withG3326 an oathG3727+G3754, I doG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 the manG444.
AndG1161 afterG3326 a whileG3397 came unto him theyG4334 that stood byG2476, and saidG2036 to PeterG4074, SurelyG230 thouG4771 alsoG2532 artG1488 one ofG1537 themG846; forG1063+G2532 thyG4675 speechG2981 bewrayethG1212 theeG4571+G4160.
ThenG5119 began heG756 to curseG2653 andG2532 to swearG3660, saying,G3754 I knowG1492 notG3756 the manG444. AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the cockG220 crewG5455.
AndG2532 PeterG4074 rememberedG3415 the wordG4487 of JesusG2424, whichG3588 saidG2046 unto himG846, BeforeG3754+G4250 the cockG220 crowG5455, thou shalt denyG533 meG3165 thriceG5151. AndG2532 he went outG1854, andG1831 weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.
