Then Jeremiah came Jeremiah from Topheth, whitherwhere Jehovahthe Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovahsthe Lords house, and said to all the people: |
| 19:15 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I willam about to bring uponon this city and upon all its towns all the evilentire calamity that I have pronounceddeclared against it;, because they have madestiffened their necknecks stiff,so thatas theynot mayto notheed hearMy my words. |

NowWhen Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Jehovahthe Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things., |

| 32:1 |
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovahthe Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of NebuchadrezzarNebuchadnezzar. |
| 32:2 |
Now at that time the army of the king of BabylonsBabylon army was besieging Jerusalem;, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the king of Judahs house.Judah, |
| 32:3 |
Forbecause Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, WhereforeWhy dostdo thouyou prophesy, and saysaying, Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, Behold, I willam about to give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shallwill take it; |
| 32:4 |
and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but he shall surely be deliveredgiven into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with him mouthface to mouthface, and hissee eyeshim shalleye beholdto his eyeseye; |
| 32:5 |
and he shall bringtake Zedekiah to Babylon, and therehe shall he be there until I visit him, saithdeclares Jehovah:the thoughLord. yeIf you fight withagainst the Chaldeans, yeyou shall not prospersucceed ? |
| 32:6 |
And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me, saying, |
| 32:7 |
Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thineyour uncle shallis comecoming untoto theeyou, saying, Buy theefor yourself my field thatwhich is inat Anathoth;, for you have the right of redemption is thine to buy it. |
| 32:8 |
SoThen Hanamel minemy uncles son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovahthe Lord, and said untoto me, Buy my field, I pray theeplease, that is inat Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for you have the right of inheritancepossession is thine, and the redemption is thineyours; buy it for thyselfyourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 32:9 |
And I bought the field thatwhich was inat Anathoth offrom Hanamel minemy uncles son, and I weighed himout the moneysilver for him, even seventeen shekels of silver. |
| 32:10 |
And I subscribedsigned the deed, and sealed itthe deed, and called in witnesses, and weighed himout the moneysilver inon the balancesscales. |
| 32:11 |
SoThen I took the deeddeeds of the purchase, both thatthe which was sealed, accordingcopy tocontaining the lawterms and customconditions, and thatthe whichopen was open:copy; |
| 32:12 |
and I deliveredgave the deed of the purchase untoto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presencesight of Hanamel minemy uncles son, and in the presencesight of the witnesses thatwho subscribedsigned the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews thatwho satwere sitting in the court of the guard. |
| 32:13 |
And I chargedcommanded Baruch beforein themtheir presence, saying, |
| 32:14 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:, Take these deeds, this sealed deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this open deed which is open, and put them in an earthenearthenware vessel;jar, that they may continuelast manya dayslong time. |
| 32:15 |
For thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:, Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land. |
| 32:16 |
NowAfter after I had deliveredgiven the deed of the purchase untoto Baruch the son of Neriah, then I prayed untoto Jehovahthe Lord, saying, |
| 32:17 |
Ah Lord JehovahGod! beholdBehold, thouThou hast made the heavens and the earth by thyThy great power and by thineThine outstretched arm;! thereNothing is nothing too harddifficult for theeThee, |
| 32:18 |
who showest lovingkindness untoto thousands, andbut recompensestrepayest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them;, theO great, theand mighty God,. JehovahThe Lord of hosts is hisHis name; |
| 32:19 |
great in counsel, and mighty in work;deed, whose eyes are open uponto all the ways of the sons of men, giving to giveeveryone every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doingsdeeds; |
| 32:20 |
who didsthast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even untoto this day, both in Israel and among other menmankind; and madestThou theehast made a name for Thyself, as at this day;. |
| 32:21 |
andAnd Thou didst bring forthThy thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; |
| 32:22 |
and gavest them this land, which thouThou didst swear to their fathersforefathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;. |
| 32:23 |
andAnd they came in, and possessedtook possession of it;, but they obeyeddid not thyobey Thy voice, neitheror walkedwalk in thyThy law; they have done nothing of all that thouThou commandedst them to do:; therefore thouThou hast causedmade all this evilcalamity to come upon them. |
| 32:24 |
Behold, the siege mounds, theyhave arereached come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans thatwho fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thouThou hast spoken ishas come to pass; and, behold, thouThou seest it. |
| 32:25 |
And thouThou hast said untoto me, O Lord JehovahGod, Buy theefor yourself the field forwith money, and call in witnesses; whereasalthough the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
| 32:26 |
Then came the word of Jehovahthe untoLord came to Jeremiah, saying, |
| 32:27 |
Behold, I am Jehovahthe Lord, the God of all flesh:; is there anything too harddifficult for meMe? |
| 32:28 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovah:the Lord, Behold, I willam about to give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of NebuchadrezzarNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:. |
| 32:29 |
andAnd the Chaldeans, thatwho fightare fighting against this city, shall comeenter and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, uponwhere whosepeople roofs they have offered incense untoto Baal, on their roofs and poured out drinklibations offeringsto unto other gods, to provoke meMe to anger. |
| 32:30 |
ForIndeed the childrensons of Israel and the childrensons of Judah have donebeen doing only that which was evil in myMy sight from their youth; for the childrensons of Israel have been only provokedprovoking meMe to anger withby the work of their hands, saithdeclares Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 32:31 |
ForIndeed this city hathhas been to meMe a provocation of mineMy anger and ofMy my wrath from the day that they built it, even untoto this day;, that Iit should removebe itremoved from before myMy face, |
| 32:32 |
because of all the evil of the childrensons of Israel and of the childrensons of Judah, which they have done to provoke meMe to anger, they, their kings, their princesleaders, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. |
| 32:33 |
And they have turned untotheir meback theto backMe, and not thetheir face:; and though I taught them, risingteaching upagain early and teaching themagain, yet they havewould not hearkenedlisten toand receive instruction. |
| 32:34 |
But they setput their abominationsdetestable things in the house which is called by myMy name, to defile it. |
| 32:35 |
And they built the high places of Baal, whichthat are in the valley of theBen sonhinnom of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire untoto Molech;, which I had not commanded them not,nor neitherhad came it intoentered myMy mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. |
| 32:36 |
AndNow now therefore thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, concerning this city, whereofof yewhich you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:. |
| 32:37 |
Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries,lands whitherto which I have driven them in mineMy anger, and in myMy wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them againback untoto this place, and Imake will cause them to dwell safelyin safety. |
| 32:38 |
And they shall be myMy people, and I will be their God:; |
| 32:39 |
and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear meMe always, for evertheir own good, and for the good of them, and of their children after them:. |
| 32:40 |
andAnd I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put mythe fear of Me in their hearts, so that they maywill not departturn away from meMe. |
| 32:41 |
Yea,And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land assuredly with myall wholeMy heart and with myall wholeMy soul. |
| 32:42 |
For thus saithsays Jehovah:the LikeLord, Just as I have brought all this great evildisaster uponon this people, so will I am going to bring uponon them all the good that I haveam promisedpromising them. |
| 32:43 |
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereofof yewhich you say, It is desolatea desolation, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
| 32:44 |
Men shall buy fields for money, andsign subscribe the deeds, and seal themdeeds, and call in witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the placesenvirons aboutof Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South:Negev; for I will causerestore their captivityfortunes, todeclares return,the saith JehovahLord. |

MoreoverThen the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yetstill shutconfined up in the court of the guard, saying, |

| 33:3 |
Call untoto meMe, and I will answer theeyou, and I will showtell theeyou great things, and difficultmighty things, which thouyou knowestdo not know. |
| 33:4 |
For thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defencedefense against the siege mounds and against the sword;, |
| 33:5 |
whileWhile menthey comeare coming to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the deadcorpses bodies of men, whom I have slain in mineMy anger and in myMy wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidhidden myMy face from this city because of all their wickedness: |
| 33:6 |
Behold, I will bring to it health and curehealing, and I will cureheal them; and I will reveal untoto them an abundance of peace and truth. |
| 33:7 |
And I will causerestore the captivityfortunes of Judah and the captivityfortunes of Israel to return, and I will buildrebuild them, as they were at the first. |
| 33:8 |
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, wherebyby which they have sinned against me;Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities, wherebyby which they have sinned against meMe, and wherebyby which they have transgressed against meMe. |
| 33:9 |
And thisit city shall be to meMe for a name of joy, for a praise, and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do untofor them, and they shall fear and tremble forbecause of all the good and for all the peace that I procuremake untofor it. |
| 33:10 |
Thus saithsays Jehovah:the Lord, Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereofof yewhich you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast, eventhat is, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, |
| 33:11 |
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of themthose thatwho say, Give thanks to Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, forFor Jehovahthe Lord is good, forFor hisHis lovingkindness endurethis for evereverlasting; and of themthose thatwho bring sacrificesa ofthank thanksgivingoffering into the house of Jehovahthe Lord. For I will causerestore the captivityfortunes of the land toas returnthey aswere at the first, saithsays Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 33:12 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts:, YetThere again shall thereagain be in this place, which is waste, without man andor without beast, and in all theits cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds causingwho rest their flocks to lie down. |
| 33:13 |
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the SouthNegev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the placesenvirons aboutof Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks shall again pass under the hands of himthe thatone numberethwho numbers them, saithsays Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 33:14 |
Behold, the days comeare coming, saithdeclares Jehovahthe Lord, thatwhen I will performfulfill thatthe good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. |
| 33:15 |
In those days, and at that time, I will I cause a righteous Branch of righteousnessDavid to growspring up unto Davidforth; and heHe shall execute justice and righteousness inon the landearth. |
| 33:16 |
In those days Judah shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safelyin safety; and this is the name wherebyby which she shall be called: Jehovahthe Lord is our righteousness. |
| 33:17 |
For thus saithsays Jehovah:the Lord, David shall never wantlack a man to sit uponon the throne of the house of Israel; |
| 33:18 |
neitherand shall the Levitical priests theshall Levitesnever wantlack a man before meMe to offer burnt offerings, and to burn mealgrain offerings, and to doprepare sacrificesacrifices continually. |
| 33:19 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto Jeremiah, saying, |

| 33:21 |
then My covenant may also my covenant be broken with David myMy servant, that he shall not have a son to reign uponon his throne;, and with the LevitesLevitical the priests, myMy ministers. |
| 33:22 |
As the host of heaven cannot be numberedcounted, neitherand the sand of the sea cannot be measured;, so I will I multiply the seeddescendants of David myMy servant, and the Levites thatwho minister untoto meMe. |
| 33:23 |
And the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, |
| 33:24 |
ConsiderestHave thouyou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovahthe didLord choosechose, heHe hathhas castrejected them off? thusThus do they despise myMy people, thatno theylonger shouldare bethey noas more a nation beforein themtheir sight. |
| 33:25 |
Thus saithsays Jehovah:the Lord, If myMy covenant offor day and night stand not, ifand Ithe havefixed notpatterns appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; I have not established, |
| 33:26 |
then will I alsowould castreject away the seeddescendants of Jacob, and of David myMy servant, so that I will not taketaking offrom his seeddescendants to be rulers over the seeddescendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:. forBut I will causerestore their captivityfortunes to return, and will have mercy on them. |
| 34:1 |
The word which came untoto Jeremiah from Jehovahthe Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, andwith all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all theits cities thereof, saying:, |

| 34:4 |
Yet hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah:! thusThus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord concerning theeyou, ThouYou shaltwill not die by the sword;. |
| 34:5 |
thouYou shaltwill die in peace; and withas thespices burningswere ofburned thyfor your fathers, the former kings thatwho were before theeyou, so shall they makewill aburn burningspices for theeyou; and they shallwill lament theefor you, sayingAlas, Ah Lord! forFor I have spoken the word, saithdeclares Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 34:6 |
Then Jeremiah the prophet spakespoke all these words untoto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, |
| 34:7 |
when the army of the king of BabylonsBabylon army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the remaining cities of Judah, that were leftis, against Lachish and against Azekah;, for thesethey alone remained ofas fortified cities among the cities of Judah as fortified cities. |

| 34:11 |
butBut afterwardsafterward they turned, around and causedtook back the male servants and the handmaidsfemale servants, whom they had letset go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for male servants and for handmaidsfemale servants. |
| 34:12 |
ThereforeThen the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to Jeremiah from Jehovahthe Lord, saying, |

| 34:18 |
And I will give the men thatwho have transgressed myMy covenant, thatwho have not performedfulfilled the words of the covenant which they made before meMe, when they cut the calf in twaintwo and passed between theits parts thereof; |
| 34:19 |

| 34:21 |
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princesofficials I will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of themthose thatwho seek their life, and into the hand of the army of the king of BabylonsBabylon army,which thathas are gone away from you. |

| 35:3 |
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethrenbrothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;, |
| 35:4 |
and I brought them into the house of Jehovahthe Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was bynear the chamber of the princesofficials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the thresholddoorkeeper. |
| 35:5 |
AndThen I set before the sonsmen of the house of the Rechabites bowlspitchers full of wine, and cups; and I said untoto them, Drink ye wine.! |
| 35:6 |
But they said, We will not drink no wine;, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, YeYou shall not drink no wine, neitheryou ye,or nor your sons, for ever:forever. |
| 35:7 |
neitherAnd you shall yenot build a house, norand you shall not sow seed, norand you shall not plant a vineyard, noror haveown anyone; but allin yourtents daysyou ye shall dwell inall tents;your days, that yeyou may live many days in the land whereinwhere yeyou sojourn. |
| 35:8 |
And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he chargedcommanded us, not to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;, |
| 35:9 |
nor to build ourselves houses for us to dwell in; neitherand we do not have we vineyard, noror field, noror seed:. |
| 35:10 |
butWe we have only dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and have done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. |
| 35:11 |
But it came to passabout, when NebuchadrezzarNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up intoagainst the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem forbefore fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and forbefore fear of the army of the Syrians;Arameans. soSo we dwellhave atdwelt in Jerusalem. |

But I have spoken untoto you, risingagain up early and speakingagain; andyet yeyou have not hearkenedlistened untoto meMe. |

| 36:3 |
ItPerhaps may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evilcalamity which I purposeplan to dobring untoon them;, thatin theyorder maythat return every man will turn from his evil way; thatthen I maywill forgive their iniquity and their sin. |
| 36:4 |
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah;, and Baruch wrote fromat the mouthdictation of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovahthe Lord, which heHe had spoken untoto him, uponon a roll of a bookscroll. |
| 36:5 |
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut uprestricted; I cannot go into the house of Jehovah:the Lord. |
| 36:6 |
thereforeSo you go thou, and read infrom the roll,scroll which thouyou hasthave written fromat my mouth,dictation the words of Jehovah in the earsLord ofto the people in Jehovahsthe Lords house uponon thea fast day;. andAnd also thouyou shaltshall read them into all the earspeople of all Judah thatwho come outfrom of their cities. |
| 36:7 |
ItPerhaps maytheir besupplication they will presentcome theirbefore supplicationthe before JehovahLord, and everyone will returnturn every one from his evil way;, for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovahthe hathLord has pronounced against this people. |
| 36:8 |
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading infrom the book the words of Jehovahthe Lord in Jehovahsthe Lords house. |
| 36:9 |
Now it came toabout pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people thatwho came from the cities of Judah untoto Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 36:10 |
Then Baruch read Baruchfrom in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah,the Lord in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the newNew gateGate of Jehovahsthe Lords house, into the ears of all the people. |
| 36:11 |
AndNow when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard outall the words of the bookLord allfrom the words of Jehovahbook, |
| 36:12 |
he went down intoto the kings house, into the scribes chamber:. andAnd, lobehold, all the princesofficials were sitting there, to wit, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princesother officials. |
| 36:13 |
ThenAnd Micaiah declared untoto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read from the book into the ears of the people. |
| 36:14 |
ThereforeThen all the princesofficials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, untoto Baruch, saying, Take in thyyour hand the rollscroll whereinfrom thouwhich hastyou have read into the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the rollscroll in his hand, and camewent untoto them. |
| 36:15 |
And they said untoto him, Sit down nowplease, and read it into our earsus. So Baruch read it into their earsthem. |
| 36:16 |
Now it came toabout pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one towardto another, and said untoto Baruch, We will surely tellreport theall kingthese ofwords allto thesethe wordsking. |
| 36:17 |
And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us nowplease, Howhow didstdid thouyou write all these words? Was it at his mouthdictation? |
| 36:18 |
Then Baruch answeredsaid to them, He pronounceddictated all these words untoto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink inon the book. |
| 36:19 |
Then said the princesofficials untosaid to Baruch, Go, hide theeyourself, thouyou and Jeremiah;, and do not let noanyone man know where yeyou are. |
| 36:20 |
AndSo they went in to the king intoin the court;, but they had laiddeposited up the rollscroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe;, and they toldreported all the words into the ears of the king. |
| 36:21 |
SoThen the king sent Jehudi to fetchget the roll;scroll, and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it into the ears of the king, andas inwell theas earsto of all the princesofficials thatwho stood beside the king. |
| 36:22 |
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month:, andwith there was a fire burning in the brazier burning before him. |
| 36:23 |
And it came to passabout, when Jehudi had read three or four leavescolumns, that the king cut it with thea penknife,scribes knife and castthrew it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the rollscroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier. |
| 36:24 |
AndYet theythe wereking notand afraid,all norhis rentservants theirwho garments,heard neitherall thethese king,words norwere anynot ofafraid, hisnor servantsdid thatthey heardrend alltheir these wordsgarments. |
| 36:25 |
MoreoverEven though Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah hadentreated made intercession to the king thatnot heto would not burn the roll;scroll, but he would not hearlisten to them. |
| 36:26 |
And the king commanded Jerahmeel the kings son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to takeseize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet;, but Jehovahthe Lord hid them. |
| 36:27 |
Then the word of Jehovahthe Lord came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll,scroll and the words which Baruch wrotehad written at the mouthdictation of Jeremiah, saying, |
| 36:28 |
Take thee again another roll,scroll and write inon it all the former words that were inon the first roll,scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. |
| 36:29 |
And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thouyou shaltshall say, Thus saithsays Jehovah:the ThouLord, hastYou have burned this rollscroll, saying, Why hasthave thouyou written therein,on saying,it Thethat the king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall causemake man and beast to cease from thence man and beastit? |
| 36:30 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah:, He shall have noneno one to sit uponon the throne of David;, and his dead body shall be cast out into the dayheat toof the heat,day and in the nightfrost toof the frostnight. |
| 36:31 |
And I willshall also punish him and his seeddescendants and his servants for their iniquity;, and I willshall bring uponon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evilcalamity that I have pronounceddeclared againstto them, but they hearkeneddid not listen. |
| 36:32 |
Then Jeremiah took Jeremiah another roll,scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribeson of Neraiah, the sonscribe, ofand Neriah,he who wrote thereinon fromit at the mouthdictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and theremany similar words were added besidesto unto them many like words. |
| 37:1 |
AndNow Zedekiah the son of Josiah reignedwhom asNebuchadnezzar king, instead of ConiahBabylon had made king in the sonland of JehoiakimJudah, whomreigned Nebuchadrezzaras king ofin Babylonplace madeof kingConiah in the landson of JudahJehoiakim. |
| 37:2 |
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, didlistened hearkento unto the words of Jehovah,the Lord which heHe spakespoke bythrough Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah. |
| 37:3 |
AndYet King Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah, saying, PrayPlease nowpray untoto Jehovahthe Lord our God foron usour behalf. |
| 37:4 |
Now Jeremiah camewas still coming in and wentgoing out among the people;, for they had not yet put him intoin the prison. |
| 37:5 |
AndMeanwhile, Pharaohs army washad comeset forth out offrom Egypt; and when the Chaldeans thatwho werehad been besieging Jerusalem heard tidingsthe ofreport about them, they brakelifted upthe siege from Jerusalem. |
| 37:6 |
Then came the word of Jehovahthe untoLord came to Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah, saying, |
| 37:7 |
Thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of Israel, Thus shallyou yeare to say to the king of Judah, thatwho sent you untoto meMe to inquire of meMe: Behold, Pharaohs army, which ishas come forthout tofor helpyour you,assistance shallis returngoing to Egyptreturn intoto theirits own land of Egypt. |
| 37:8 |
AndThe the Chaldeans shallwill comealso again,return and fight against this city;, and they shallwill takecapture it, and burn it with fire. |
| 37:9 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, DeceiveDo not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shallwill surely departgo away from us;, for they shallwill not departgo. |
| 37:10 |
For thougheven yeif you had smittendefeated the wholeentire army of the Chaldeans thatwho fightwere fighting against you, and there remainedwere butonly wounded men left among them, yeteach would they rise up every man in his tent, they would rise up and burn this city with fire. |
| 37:11 |
AndNow it came to pass thathappened, when the army of the Chaldeans washad brokenlifted upthe siege from Jerusalem forbecause fear of Pharaohs army, |
| 37:12 |
thenthat Jeremiah went forth out offrom Jerusalem to go intoto the land of Benjamin, in order to receivetake hispossession portionof there,some inproperty thethere midstamong of the people. |
| 37:13 |
AndWhile when he was inat the gateGate of Benjamin, a captain of the wardguard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah was there; and he laidarrested hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ThouYou artare fallinggoing awayover to the Chaldeans.! |
| 37:14 |
ThenBut Jeremiah said Jeremiah, ItA islie! false; I am not fallinggoing awayover to the Chaldeans.; Butyet he hearkenedwould not listen to him;. soSo Irijah laidarrested hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princesofficials. |
| 37:15 |
AndThen the princesofficials were wrothangry withat Jeremiah, and smotebeat him, and they put him in prisonjail in the house of Jonathan the scribe;, forwhich they had made thatinto the prison. |
| 37:16 |
WhenFor Jeremiah washad come into the dungeon house, andthat intois, the cells,vaulted cell; and Jeremiah hadstayed remained there many days;. |
| 37:17 |
thenNow King Zedekiah the king sent, and fetchedtook him: out; and in his palace the king secretly asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there anya word from Jehovahthe Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is.! HeThen he said also, ThouYou shaltwill be deliveredgiven into the hand of the king of Babylon.! |
| 37:18 |
Moreover Jeremiah said untoto kingKing Zedekiah, WhereinIn what way have I sinned against theeyou, or against thyyour servants, or against this people, that yeyou have put me in prison? |
| 37:19 |
Where nowthen are your prophets thatwho prophesied untoto you, saying, The king of Babylon shallwill not come against you, noror against this land ? |
| 37:20 |
AndBut now hear, Iplease pray theelisten, O my Lord the king:; please let my supplication,petition Icome praybefore theeyou, beand presenteddo beforenot thee,make that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lestthat I may not die there. |
| 37:21 |
Then King Zedekiah thegave king commandedcommandment, and they committed Jeremiah intoto the court of the guard;guardhouse and they gave him daily a loaf of bread outdaily offrom the bakers street, until all the bread in the city was spentgone. ThusSo Jeremiah remained in the court of the guardguardhouse. |
| 38:1 |
AndNow Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spakewas untospeaking to all the people, saying, |
| 38:2 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, He thatwho abidethstays in this city shallwill die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;, but he thatwho goethgoes forthout to the Chaldeans shallwill live, and have his own life shallas bebooty unto him for a prey, and hestay shall livealive. |
| 38:3 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord, This city shallwill surelycertainly be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shallwill takecapture it. |
| 38:4 |
Then the princesofficials said untoto the king, LetNow let this man, we pray thee, be put to death;, forasmuchinasmuch as he weakenethis thediscouraging hands of the men of war thatwho remainare left in this city, and the hands of all the people, inby speaking such words untoto them:; for this man seekethis not seeking the welfarewell being of this people, but therather hurttheir harm. |
| 38:5 |
AndSo King Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your handhands; for the king is not he that can do anythingnothing against you. |
| 38:6 |
Then they took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeoncistern of Malchijah the kings son, thatwhich was in the court of the guard:guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down Jeremiah with cordsropes. AndNow in the dungeoncistern there was no water, but mire;only mud, and Jeremiah sank ininto the miremud. |
| 38:7 |
NowBut when Ebed melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, whowhile he was in the kings housepalace, heard that they had put Jeremiah ininto the dungeoncistern. Now the king thenwas sitting in the gateGate of Benjamin,; |
| 38:8 |
and Ebed melech went forth out offrom the kings house,palace and spakespoke to the king, saying, |
| 38:9 |
My Lord the king, these men have doneacted evilwickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeoncistern; and he iswill like to die inright the place where he is, because of the famine;, for there is no more bread in the city. |
| 38:10 |
Then the king commanded Ebed melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take thirty men from hencehere thirtyunder menyour with theeauthority, and takebring up Jeremiah the prophet outfrom of the dungeon,cistern before he diedies. |
| 38:11 |
So Ebed melech took the men withunder him,his authority and went into the housekings ofpalace theto kinga underplace beneath the treasury,storeroom and took thencefrom ragsthere worn out clothes and worn out garments,rags and let them down by cordsropes into the dungeoncistern to Jeremiah. |
| 38:12 |
AndThen Ebed melech the Ethiopian said untoto Jeremiah, PutNow nowput these rags and worn out garmentsclothes and rags under thineyour armholesarmpits under the cords.ropes; Andand Jeremiah did so. |
| 38:13 |
So they drewpulled Jeremiah up Jeremiah with the cords,ropes and tooklifted him up out of the dungeon:cistern, and Jeremiah remainedstayed in the court of the guardguardhouse. |
| 38:14 |
Then King Zedekiah the king sent, and tookhad Jeremiah the prophet untobrought to him intoat the third entryentrance that is in the house of Jehovah:the Lord; and the king said untoto Jeremiah, I willam going to ask theeyou a thingsomething; do not hide nothinganything from me. |
| 38:15 |
Then Jeremiah said untoto Zedekiah, If I declaretell it unto theeyou, wiltwill thouyou not surelycertainly put me to death? andBesides, if I give theeyou counseladvice, thouyou wiltwill not hearkenlisten untoto me. |
| 38:16 |
SoBut King Zedekiah theswore kingto swareJeremiah secretlyin untosecret Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovahthe livethLord lives, thatwho made us this soullife for us, surely I will not put theeyou to death, neithernor will I give theeyou intoover to the hand of these men thatwho seekare thyseeking your life. |
| 38:17 |
Then Jeremiah said Jeremiahto unto Zedekiah, Thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel:, If thouyou wiltwill indeed go forthout untoto the officers of the king of Babylons princesBabylon, then thyyou soulwill shall live, and this city shallwill not be burned with fire;, and thouyou shaltand live,your andhousehold thywill housesurvive. |
| 38:18 |
But if thouyou wiltwill not go forthout to the officers of the king of Babylons princesBabylon, then shall this city will be given intoover to the hand of the Chaldeans,; and they shallwill burn it with fire, and thouyou shaltyourself will not escape outfrom of their hand. |
| 38:19 |
AndThen King Zedekiah the king said untoto Jeremiah, I amdread afraid of the Jews thatwho arehave fallengone awayover to the Chaldeans, lest they delivergive me over into their hand, and they mockabuse me. |
| 38:20 |
But Jeremiah said, They shallwill not delivergive theeyou over. Obey,Please Iobey beseech thee, the voiceLord of Jehovah, in thatwhat which I speakam untosaying thee:to soyou, that it shallmay bego well with thee,you and thyyou soulmay shall live. |
| 38:21 |
But if thouyou refusekeep refusing to go forthout, this is the word thatwhich Jehovahthe hathLord showedhas shown me: |
| 38:22 |
BeholdThen behold, all of the women thatwho arehave been left in the palace of the king of JudahsJudah houseare shallgoing to be brought forthout to the officers of the king of BabylonsBabylon; princes, and those women shallwill say, ThyYour familiarclose friends haveHave setmisled thee on, and haveoverpowered prevailedyou; overWhile thee:your now that thy feet arewere sunk in the mire, theyThey are turned away back. |
| 38:23 |
AndThey theywill shallalso bring out all thyyour wives and thyyour childrensons to the Chaldeans;, and thouyou shaltyourself will not escape outfrom of their hand, but shaltwill be takenseized by the hand of the king of Babylon:, and thou shalt cause this city towill be burned with fire. |
| 38:24 |
Then Zedekiah said Zedekiahto unto Jeremiah, Let no man know ofabout these words, and thouyou shaltwill not die. |
| 38:25 |
But if the princesofficials hear that I have talked with thee,you and they come untoto thee,you and say untoto theeyou, DeclareTell unto us now what thouyou hast said untoto the king, and what the king said to you; do not hide it not from us, and we will not put theeyou to death; also what the king said unto thee:, |
| 38:26 |
then thouyou shaltare to say untoto them, I presentedwas presenting my supplicationpetition before the king, thatnot heto wouldmake not cause me to return to Jonathansthe house, of Jonathan to die there. |
| 38:27 |
Then came all the princesofficials untocame to Jeremiah, and askedquestioned him;. andSo he toldreported to them accordingin toaccordance with all these words thatwhich the king had commanded.; Soand they leftceased off speaking with him;, forsince the matterconversation washad not perceivedbeen overheard. |
| 38:28 |
So Jeremiah abodestayed in the court of the guardguardhouse until the day that Jerusalem was takencaptured. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken |
| 39:1 |
Now it came about when Jerusalem was captured in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, cameNebuchadnezzar Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army againstcame to Jerusalem, and besiegedlaid siege to it; |
| 39:2 |
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, athe breachcity wall was made in the city,breached. |
| 39:3 |
thatThen all the princesofficials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat indown at the middleMiddle gate,Gate: toNergal wit,sar Nergal sharezerezer, Samgar nebonebu, Sarsechim,Sar sekim the Rab saris, Nergal sharezer,sar ezer the Rab mag, withand all the rest of the princesofficials of the king of Babylon. |
| 39:4 |
And it came to pass thatabout, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, thenthat they fled, and went forth out of the city byat night, by the way of the kings garden, through the gate betwixtbetween the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah. |
| 39:5 |
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho:; and when they hadseized taken him, theyand brought him up to NebuchadrezzarNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon toat Riblah in the land of Hamath;, and he gavepassed judgmentsentence uponon him. |
| 39:6 |
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: alsoat Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the nobles of Judah. |
| 39:7 |
MoreoverHe hethen putblinded out Zedekiahs eyes, and bound him in fetters, of bronze to carrybring him to Babylon. |
| 39:8 |
AndThe the Chaldeans also burned with fire the kings house,palace and the houses of the people, withand fire,they andbroke brake down the walls of Jerusalem. |
| 39:9 |
ThenAnd Nebuzaradanas thefor captain of the guardrest carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people thatwho remainedwere left in the city, the deserters alsowho thathad fellgone awayover to him, and the residuerest of the people thatwho remained, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard carried them into exile in Babylon. |
| 39:10 |
But Nebuzaradansome of the captainpoorest ofpeople thewho guardhad leftnothing, ofNebuzaradan the poorcaptain of the people,bodyguard thatleft hadbehind nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at thethat same time. |
| 39:11 |
Now NebuchadrezzarNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave chargeorders concerningabout Jeremiah tothrough Nebuzaradan the captain of the guardbodyguard, saying, |
| 39:12 |
Take him, and look wellafter to him, and do himnothing noharmful harmto him; but dorather untodeal with him evenjust as he shalltells say unto theeyou. |
| 39:13 |
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guardbodyguard sent word, andalong with Nebushazban, the Rab saris, and Nergal sharezer,sar ezer the Rab mag, and all the chiefleading officers of the king of Babylon; |
| 39:14 |
they even sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard,guardhouse and committedentrusted him untoto Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, thatto hetake should carry him home. So he dweltstayed among the people. |
| 39:15 |
Now the word of Jehovahthe cameLord untohad come to Jeremiah, while he was shutconfined up in the court of the guardguardhouse, saying, |
| 39:16 |
Go, and speak to Ebed melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:, Behold, I willam about to bring myMy words uponon this city for evil,disaster and not for goodprosperity; and they shallwill betake accomplishedplace before theeyou inon that day. |
| 39:17 |
But I will deliver theeyou inon that day, saithdeclares Jehovah;the Lord, and thouyou shaltshall not be given into the hand of the men of whom thouyou art afraiddread. |

For I will surelycertainly saverescue theeyou, and thouyou shaltwill not fall by the sword,; but thyyou lifewill shallhave beyour forown alife preyas untobooty, thee; because thouyou hasthave puttrusted thy trust in meMe, saithdeclares Jehovahthe Lord. |
| 40:1 |
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah,the Lord after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guardbodyguard had letreleased him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains, among all the captivesexiles of Jerusalem and Judah, thatwho were carriedbeing awayexiled captiveto unto Babylon. |
| 40:2 |
AndNow the captain of the guardbodyguard tookhad taken Jeremiah, and said untoto him, JehovahThe thyLord your God pronouncedpromised this evilcalamity uponagainst this place; |
| 40:3 |
and Jehovahthe hathLord has brought it, on and done accordingjust as heHe spake:promised. becauseBecause yeyou havepeople sinned against Jehovah,the Lord and havedid not obeyedlisten histo His voice, therefore this thing ishas comehappened uponto you. |
| 40:4 |
AndBut now, behold, I looseam theefreeing thisyou daytoday from the chains which are uponon thyyour handhands. If ityou seemwould goodprefer unto thee to come with me intoto Babylon, come along, and I will look wellafter unto theeyou; but if ityou seemwould illprefer untonot thee to come with me intoto Babylon, forbear:never beholdmind. Look, all the whole land is before theeyou; whithergo wherever it seemethseems good and right untofor theeyou to go, thither go. |
| 40:5 |
NowAs whileJeremiah he was still not yetgoing gone back, he said, Go on back then, said he, to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hathhas madeappointed governor over the cities of Judah, and dwellstay with him among the people; or else go wheresoeveranywhere it seemethseems right untofor theeyou to go. So the captain of the guardbodyguard gave him victualsa ration and a present,gift and let him go. |
| 40:6 |
Then Jeremiah went Jeremiahto untoMizpah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dweltstayed with him among the people thatwho were left in the land. |
| 40:7 |
Now when all the captainscommanders of the forces that were in the fieldsfield, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had madeappointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governorover in the land, and that he had committedput unto him in charge of the men, and women, and children, andthose of the poorest of the land, ofwho themhad that were not carriedbeen awayexiled captive to Babylon;. |
| 40:8 |
thenSo they came to Gedaliah toat Mizpah, toalong wit,with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, both they and their men. |
| 40:9 |
AndThen Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swareswore untoto them and to their men, saying, FearDo not tobe serveafraid of serving the Chaldeans:; dwellstay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, andthat it shallmay bego well with you. |
| 40:10 |
AsNow as for me, behold, I willam dwellgoing to stay at Mizpah, to stand for you before the Chaldeans thatwho shall come untoto us:; but yeas for you, gather yein wine and summer fruitsfruit and oil, and put them in your storage vessels, and dwelllive in your cities that yeyou have taken over. |
| 40:11 |
Likewise whenalso all the Jews thatwho were in Moab, and among the childrensons of Ammon, and in Edom, and thatwho were in all the other countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant offor Judah, and that he had setappointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;. |
| 40:12 |
thenThen all the Jews returned outfrom of all the places whitherto which they werehad been driven, away and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, untoat Mizpah, and gathered in wine and summer fruitsfruit veryin muchgreat abundance. |
| 40:13 |
MoreoverNow Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captainscommanders of the forces that were in the fields,field came to Gedaliah toat Mizpah, |
| 40:14 |
and said untoto him, DostAre thouyou knowwell aware that Baalis the king of the childrensons of Ammon hathhas sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thyyour life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believeddid not believe them not. |
| 40:15 |
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spakespoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and Ikill will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and nonot a man shallwill know! it:Why wherefore should he take thyyour life, so that all the Jews thatwho are gathered untoto theeyou should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish? |
| 40:16 |
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said untoto Johanan the son of Kareah, ThouDo shalt not do this thing;, for thouyou speakestare falselytelling ofa lie about Ishmael. |
| 41:1 |
Now it came toabout pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal family and one of the chief officers of the king, andalong with ten men with him, came untoto Mizpah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. toWhile Mizpah; and there they didwere eateating bread together there in Mizpah., |

Ishmael also slewstruck down all the Jews thatwho were with him, tothat wit,is with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans thatwho were found there, the men of war. |
| 41:4 |
AndNow it camehappened toon pass the secondnext day after hethe hadkilling slainof Gedaliah, andwhen no manone knew about it, |

| 42:1 |
Then all the captainscommanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people fromboth thesmall leastand evengreat unto the greatest, came near,approached |
| 42:2 |
and said untoto Jeremiah the prophet, Let,Please welet pray thee, our supplicationpetition become presented before theeyou, and pray for us untoto Jehovahthe thyLord your God, eventhat is for all this remnant; forbecause we are left but a few out of many, as thineyour own eyes donow beholdsee us, |

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captainscommanders of the forces, and all the people, obeyeddid not obey the voice of Jehovahthe Lord, so as to dwellstay in the land of Judah. |
| 43:5 |
But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captainscommanders of the forces, took all the entire remnant of Judah, thatwho werehad returned from all the nations whitherto which they had been driven away, in order to sojournreside in the land of Judah; |

because of their wickedness which they have committed so as to provoke meMe to anger, inby thatcontinuing they went to burn incense,sacrifices and to serve other gods, thatwhom they knewhad not known, neither they, nor yeyou, nor your fathers. |
| 44:4 |
HowbeitYet I sent unto you all myMy servants the prophets, risingagain up early and sending themagain, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing thatwhich I hate. |
| 44:5 |
But they hearkeneddid not, norlisten inclinedor incline their earears to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn nosacrifices incenseto unto other gods. |
| 44:6 |
WhereforeTherefore myMy wrath and mineMy anger waswere poured forth,out and wasburned kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem;, andso they arehave wastedbecome a ruin and desolate,a desolation as it is this day. |
| 44:7 |
ThereforeNow nowthen thus saithsays Jehovah, the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel:, WhereforeWhy commitare yeyou thisdoing great evilharm againstto youryourselves, ownso souls,as to cut off from you man and woman, infantchild and sucklinginfant, outfrom ofamong the midst of Judah, toleaving leaveyourselves youwithout none remaining;remnant, |

inprovoking thatMe yeto provoke me unto anger with the works of your hands, burning incensesacrifices untoto other gods in the land of Egypt, whitherwhere yeyou are goneentering to sojourn;reside, so that yeyou maymight be cut off, and thatbecome ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth? |
| 44:9 |
Have yeyou forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? |
| 44:10 |
TheyBut arethey have not humbledbecome contrite even untoto this day, neithernor have they feared, nor walked in myMy law, noror inMy my statutes, thatwhich I have set before you and before your fathers. |
| 44:11 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:, Behold, I willam going to set myMy face against you for evilwoe, even to cut off all Judah. |
| 44:12 |
And I will take away the remnant of Judah, thatwho have set their facesmind toon goentering into the land of Egypt to sojournreside there, and they shallwill all bemeet consumed;their end in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shallwill befall consumed by the sword and bymeet thetheir famine;end theyby shallfamine. die,Both fromsmall theand leastgreat evenwill untodie the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shallwill bebecome ana execrationcurse, and an astonishmentobject of horror, andan aimprecation curse, and a reproach. |
| 44:13 |
ForAnd I will punish themthose thatwho dwelllive in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, bywith the sword, bywith the famine, and bywith the pestilence;. |
| 44:14 |
soSo thatthere nonewill ofbe no refugees or survivors for the remnant of Judah, thatwho arehave goneentered into the land of Egypt to sojournreside there, shalland escapethen or be left, to return intoto the land of Judah, to which they haveare alonging desire to return toand dwelllive; there: for none shallwill return saveexcept sucha asfew shall escaperefugees. |
| 44:15 |
Then all the men who knewwere aware that their wives burnedwere incenseburning untosacrifices to other gods, andalong with all the women thatwho stoodwere standing by, as a greatlarge assembly, evenincluding all the people thatwho dweltwere living in Pathros in the land of Egypt, inresponded Pathros,to answered Jeremiah, saying, |
| 44:16 |
As for the wordmessage that thouyou hasthave spoken untoto us in the name of Jehovahthe Lord, we willare not hearkengoing untoto thee.listen to you! |
| 44:17 |
But rather we will certainly performcarry out every word that ishas goneproceeded forthfrom out of our mouthmouths, toby burnburning incensesacrifices untoto the queen of heaven, and topouring pour out drinklibations offeringsto unto her, just as we have doneourselves, we and our fathersforefathers, our kings and our princes, did in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had we plenty of victualsfood, and were well off, and saw no evilmisfortune. |
| 44:18 |
But since we leftstopped off burning incensesacrifices to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drinklibations offeringsto unto her, we have wantedlacked alleverything things, and have beenmet consumedour end by the sword and by the famine. |
| 44:19 |
And, said the women, when we burnedwere incenseburning sacrifices to the queen of heaven, and pouredwere pouring out drinklibations offeringsto unto her, didwas it without our husbands that we makemade for her sacrificial cakes toin worship her, image and pourpoured out drinklibations offeringsto unto her, without our husbands? |
| 44:20 |
Then Jeremiah said untoto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people thatwho hadwere givengiving him thatsuch an answer, saying, |
| 44:21 |
TheAs incensefor the smoking sacrifices that yeyou burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, yeyou and your fathersforefathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Jehovahthe Lord remember them, and camedid it not all this come into hisHis mind? |
| 44:22 |
soSo thatthe JehovahLord couldwas notno longer bearable to endure it, because of the evil of your doingsdeeds, and because of the abominations which yeyou have committed; thereforethus is your land has become a desolationruin, and an astonishment,object of horror and a curse, without an inhabitant, as it is this day. |
| 44:23 |
Because yeyou have burned incense,sacrifices and because ye have sinned against Jehovah,the Lord and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah,the norLord or walked in hisHis law, norHis in his statutes, noror inHis his testimonies;, therefore this evilcalamity ishas happenedbefallen unto you, as it ishas this day. |
