Versliste
Her gatesH8179 are sunkH2883 into the groundH776; he hath destroyedH6 and brokenH7665 her barsH1280: her kingH4428 and her princesH8269 are among the GentilesH1471: the lawH8451 is no more; her prophetsH5030 also findH4672 no visionH2377 from the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made MattaniahH4983 his father's brotherH1730 kingH4427 in his stead, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and oneH259 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.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he, and all his hostH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
And the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And on the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between two wallsH2346, which is by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeesH3778 were against the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and the king wentH3212 the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and all his armyH2428 were scatteredH6327 from him.
So they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and brought him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
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.
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come againH7725, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DeceiveH5377 not yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 shall surelyH1980 departH3212 from us: for they shall not departH3212. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
The handsH3027 of the pitifulH7362 womenH802 have soddenH1310 their own childrenH3206: they were their meatH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
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}
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.
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 ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559, Behold, he is in your handH3027: for the kingH4428 is not he that canH3201 do any thingH1697 against you.
And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018 and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, PrayH6419 now unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for us.
EnquireH1875, I pray thee, of the LORDH3068 for usH1157; for NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 maketh warH3898 against us; if so be that the LORDH3068 will dealH6213 with us according to all his wondrous worksH6381, that he may go upH5927 from us.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmenH3009+H1461.
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
My defenceH4043 is of GodH430, which savethH3467 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. {My…: Heb. My buckler is upon God}
He which testifiethG3140 these thingsG5023 saithG3004, SurelyG3483 I comeG2064 quicklyG5035. AmenG281. Even soG3483, comeG2064, LordG2962 JesusG2424.
