Like the east wind I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them themy back and not themy face in the day of their calamity |

Thus said Jehovahthe Lord Go and buy a potters earthen bottleflask and take some of the elders of the people and some of the elderssenior of the priests; |

Because theythe people have forsaken me and have estrangedprofaned this place andby haveburning burned incense in it untoto other gods thatwhom theyneither knew not they andnor their fathers andnor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place with the blood of innocents |
| 19:5 |
and have built the high places of BaalBa′al to burn their sons in the fire foras burnt offerings untoto Baal;Ba′al which I commandeddid not norcommand spakeor itdecree neithernor camedid it come into my mind:; |
| 19:6 |
therefore behold the days comeare saithcoming Jehovahsays thatthe Lord when this place shall no more be called Topheth noror Thethe valley of the son of Hinnom but Thethe valley of Slaughter |
| 19:7 |
And in this place I will make void the counselplans of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause themtheir people to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of themthose thatwho seek their life: andI will give their dead bodies willfor Ifood give to be food for the birds of the heavensair and forto the beasts of the earth |

| 19:12 |
Thus will I do untoto this place saithsays Jehovahthe Lord and to theits inhabitants thereof even making this city aslike Topheth: |
| 19:13 |
andThe the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah which are defiled shall be as the place of Topheth even —all the houses upon whose roofs theyincense havehas been burned incenseto unto all the host of heaven and drink offerings have been poured out drinkto offeringsother untogods—shall otherbe godsdefiled like the place of Topheth |
| 19:14 |
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 bringbringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have madestiffened their neck stiffrefusing thatto they may not hear my words |

Now Pashhur the priest the son of Immer the priest who was chief officer in the house of Jehovahthe Lord heard Jeremiah prophesying these things |
| 20:2 |
Then Pashhur smotebeat Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin whichGate wasof in the house of Jehovahthe Lord |
| 20:3 |
AndOn it came to pass on the morrow thatwhen Pashhur broughtreleased forth Jeremiah outfrom of the stocks ThenJeremiah said Jeremiahto unto him JehovahThe hathLord does not calledcall thyyour name Pashhur but MagorTerror missabibon every side |

For aswhenever often as I speak I cry out; I cryshout Violence and destruction becauseFor the word of Jehovahthe isLord madehas become for me a reproach unto me and a derision all the day long |
| 20:9 |
AndIf if I say I will not make mention of him noror speak any more in his name then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones and I am weary with forbearingholding it in and I cannot contain |

but As Jehovahthe livethLord lives who brought up and who led the seeddescendants of the house of Israel out of the north country and fromout of all the countries whitherwhere Ihe had driven them AndThen they shall dwell in their own land |
| 23:9 |
Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me is broken all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man and like a man whomovercome by wine hath overcome because of Jehovahthe Lord and because of his holy words |
| 23:10 |
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearingthe curse the land mourneth;mourns and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up AndTheir their course is evil and their might is not right; |
| 23:11 |
forBoth both prophet and priest are profaneungodly; yeaeven in my house I have I found their wickedness saithsays Jehovahthe Lord |
| 23:12 |
WhereforeTherefore their way shall be untoto them aslike slippery placespaths in the darkness: into which they shall be driven on and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them evenin the year of their visitationpunishment saithsays Jehovahthe Lord |

| 24:2 |
One basket had very good figs like the figs that are first ripe; andfigs but the other basket had very bad figs whichso bad that they could not be eaten they were so bad |

ThenAnd the Lord said Jehovahto unto me What seestdo thouyou see Jeremiah And I said Figs; the good figs very good; and the bad figs very bad so bad that they cannot be eaten they are so bad |

AndThen the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |

and they fetched forthUri′ah Uriahfrom out of Egypt and brought him untoto JehoiakimKing theJehoi′akim king who slew him with the sword and cast his dead body into the gravesburial place of the common people |

andSend sendword them to the king of Edom and to the king of Moab and to the king of the childrensons of Ammon and to the king of Tyre and to the king of Sidon by the hand of the messengersenvoys thatwho have come to Jerusalem untoto ZedekiahZedeki′ah king of Judah: |
| 27:4 |
andGive give them athis charge untofor their masters: saying Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: ThusThis is what you shall ye say untoto your masters: |
| 27:5 |
It is I havewho madeby themy earthgreat thepower men and themy beastsoutstretched thatarm arehave uponmade the faceearth ofwith the earthmen byand myanimals greatthat powerare andon bythe myearth outstretched arm; and I give it untoto whomwhomever it seemethseems right untoto me |
| 27:6 |
AndNow nowI have I given all these lands into the hand of NebuchadnezzarNebuchadnez′zar the king of Babylon my servant; and I have given him also the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him |
| 27:7 |
AndAll all the nations shall serve him and his son and his sonsgrandson son until the time of his own land come:comes; and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman slave |
| 27:8 |
AndBut itif shallany come to pass that the nation andor the kingdom which will not serve thethis sameNebuchadnez′zar Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and that will not put theirits neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon thatI nation will I punish saiththat Jehovahnation with the sword and with the famine and with pestilence says the pestilenceLord until I have consumed themit by his hand |
| 27:9 |
ButSo asdo fornot youlisten hearken ye not to your prophets nor to your diviners nor to your dreamsdreamers nor to your soothsayers noror to your sorcerers thatwho speakare untosaying to you sayingYou Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: |
| 27:10 |
forFor theyit prophesyis a lie untowhich youthey are prophesying to removeyou with the result that you will be removed far from your land and that I shouldwill drive you out and yeyou shouldwill perish |

But theany nation thatwhich shallwill bring theirits neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him thatI nation will Ileave leton remainits in their own land saithto Jehovah; and they shall till it and dwell thereinthere says the Lord |
| 27:12 |
AndTo IZedeki′ah spake to Zedekiah king of Judah accordingI tospoke allin theselike wordsmanner: saying Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people and live |
| 27:13 |
Why will yeyou die thou and thyyour people die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence as Jehovahthe hathLord has spoken concerning theany nation thatwhich will not serve the king of Babylon |
| 27:14 |
AndDo hearken not untolisten to the words of the prophets thatwho speakare untosaying to you sayingYou Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for theyit prophesyis a lie untowhich they are prophesying to you |

The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovahthe Lord in the tenth year of ZedekiahZedeki′ah king of Judah which was the eighteenth year of NebuchadrezzarNebuchadrez′zar |
| 32:2 |
NowAt 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 palace of the king of JudahsJudah house |
| 32:3 |
For ZedekiahZedeki′ah king of Judah had shutimprisoned him up saying WhereforeWhy dostdo thouyou prophesy and say Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord: Behold I willam givegiving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall take it; |
| 32:4 |
andZedeki′ah Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the ChaldeansChalde′ans but shall surely be deliveredgiven into the hand of the king of Babylon and shall speak with him mouthface to mouthface and hissee eyeshim shalleye beholdto his eyeseye; |

and he shall bringtake ZedekiahZedeki′ah to Babylon and there he shall heremain be until I visit him saithsays Jehovah:the Lord; though yeyou fight withagainst the ChaldeansChalde′ans yeyou shall not prospersucceed |
| 32:6 |
And Jeremiah said The word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto me: saying |
| 32:7 |
Behold HanamelHan′amel the son of Shallum thineyour uncle shallwill come untoto theeyou sayingand say Buy thee my field thatwhich is inat Anathoth;An′athoth for the right of redemption isby thinepurchase tois buyyours it |

SoThen HanamelHan′amel minemy unclescousin son came to me in the court of the guard accordingin toaccordance with the word of Jehovahthe Lord and said untoto me Buy my field Iwhich pray thee that is inat AnathothAn′athoth which is in the land of Benjamin; for 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 thatat wasAn′athoth infrom AnathothHan′amel ofmy Hanamelcousin mine uncles son and weighed himout the money evento him seventeen shekels of silver |
| 32:10 |
And I subscribedsigned the deed and sealed it andgot called witnesses and weighed him the money inon thescales balances |
| 32:11 |
SoThen I took the sealed deed of the purchase bothcontaining that which was sealed according to the lawterms and customconditions and thatthe whichopen wascopy; open: |
| 32:12 |
and I deliveredgave the deed of the purchase untoto Baruch the son of NeriahNeri′ah the son of MahseiahMahsei′ah in the presence of HanamelHan′amel minemy unclescousin son and in the presence of the witnesses thatwho subscribedsigned the deed of purchase and in the purchasepresence beforeof all the Jews thatwho satwere sitting in the court of the guard |
| 32:13 |
And I charged Baruch beforein themtheir presence saying |
| 32:14 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these deeds both this sealed deed of the purchase which is sealed and this open deed which is open and put them in an earthenearthenware vessel; that they may continuelast manyfor daysa long 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 NeriahNeri′ah I prayed untoto Jehovahthe Lord saying: |
| 32:17 |
Ah Lord JehovahGod beholdIt is thou who hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thinethy outstretched arm; thereNothing is nothing too hard for thee |
| 32:18 |

| 32:20 |
who didsthast setshown signs and wonders in the land of Egypt evenand untoto this day both in Israel and among otherall men;mankind and madesthast made thee a name as at this day; |
| 32:21 |
andThou didst bring forth 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 thou gavest them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them a land flowing with milk and honey; |
| 32:23 |
and they cameentered in and possessedtook possession of it; butBut they obeyeddid not obey thy voice neitheror walkedwalk in thy law; they havedid done nothing of all that thou commandedstdidst command them to do: thereforeTherefore thou hast causedmade all this evil to come upon them |
| 32:24 |
Behold the siege mounds theyhave are come untoup to the city to take it; and thebecause cityof issword givenand intofamine theand handpestilence of the Chaldeanscity thatis fightgiven againstinto it because of the swordhands and of the famineChalde′ans andwho ofare thefighting pestilence;against andit whatWhat thou hastdidst spokenspeak ishas come to pass; and behold thou seest it |

AndYet thou O Lord God hast said untoto me O Lord Jehovah Buy thee the field for money and callget witnesses;— whereasthough the city is given into the handhands of the ChaldeansChalde′ans |
| 32:26 |
ThenThe cameword of the wordLord ofcame Jehovahto unto Jeremiah: saying |
| 32:27 |
Behold I am Jehovahthe Lord the God of all flesh:; is there anything too hard for me |
| 32:28 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord: Behold I willam givegiving this city into the handhands of the ChaldeansChalde′ans and into the hand of NebuchadrezzarNebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon and he shall take it: |
| 32:29 |
andThe theChalde′ans Chaldeanswho thatare fightfighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it with the houses uponon whose roofs theyincense havehas been offered incenseto untoBa′al Baal and drink offerings have been poured out drinkto offerings unto other gods to provoke me to anger |
| 32:30 |
For the childrensons of Israel and the childrensons of Judah have done onlynothing thatbut which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the childrensons of Israel have onlydone provokednothing but provoke me to anger withby the work of their hands saithsays Jehovahthe Lord |
| 32:31 |
ForThis this city hathhas beenaroused tomy me a provocation of mine anger and of my wrath from the day thatit theywas built itto even unto this day; so that I shouldwill remove it from before my facesight |
| 32:32 |
because of all the evil of the childrensons of Israel and of the childrensons of Judah which they havedid done to provoke me to anger they —their kings and their princes their priests and their prophets and the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem |
| 32:33 |
AndThey they have turned untoto me thetheir back and not thetheir face:; and though I have taught them risingpersistently up early and teaching them yet they have not hearkenedlistened to receive instruction |
| 32:34 |
ButThey they set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name to defile it |
| 32:35 |
AndThey they built the high places of BaalBa′al which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom to causeoffer up their sons and their daughters to passMolech throughthough theI firedid untonot Molech;command which I commanded them notnor neitherdid came it enter into my mind that they should do this abomination to cause Judah to sin |
| 32:36 |
AndNow now therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord the 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 outfrom of all the countries whitherto which I havedrove driven them in minemy anger and in my wrath and in great indignation; and I will bring them againback untoto this place and I will causemake them to dwell safelyin safety |

| 34:6 |
Then Jeremiah the prophet spakespoke all these words untoto ZedekiahZedeki′ah king of Judah in Jerusalem |

The word which came untoto Jeremiah from Jehovahthe Lord in the days of JehoiakimJehoi′akim the son of JosiahJosi′ah king of Judah: saying |
| 35:2 |
Go untoto the house of the RechabitesRe′chabites and speak untowith them and bring them intoto the house of Jehovahthe Lord into one of the chambers; andthen giveoffer them wine to drink |
| 35:3 |
ThenSo I took JaazaniahJa azani′ah the son of Jeremiah the son of HabazziniahHabazzini′ah and his brethrenbrothers and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites;Re′chabites |
| 35:4 |
and I brought them intoto the house of Jehovahthe Lord into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of IgdaliahIgdali′ah the man of God which was bynear the chamber of the princes which was above the chamber of MaaseiahMa asei′ah the son of Shallum the keeper of the threshold |
| 35:5 |
AndThen I set before the sonsRe′chabites ofpitchers the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine and cups; and I said untoto them Drink ye wine |
| 35:6 |
But they saidanswered We will drink no wine; for JonadabJon′adab the son of Rechab our father commanded us sayingYou Ye shall not drink no wine neither yeyou nor your sons for ever:; |
| 35:7 |
neitheryou shall yenot build a house; noryou shall not sow seed; noryou shall not plant vineyardor nor have anya vineyard; but allyou your days ye shall dwelllive in tents; all your days that yeyou may live many days in the land whereinwhere yeyou sojourn |
| 35:8 |
AndWe we have obeyed the voice of JonadabJon′adab the son of Rechab our father in all that he chargedcommanded us to drink no wine all our days weourselves our wives our sons or our daughters; |
| 35:9 |
norand not to build houses for us to dwell in; neitherWe have weno vineyard noror field noror seed:; |
| 35:10 |
but we have dweltlived in tents and have obeyed and done according to all that JonadabJon′adab our father commanded us |
| 35:11 |
But it came to pass when NebuchadrezzarNebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon came up intoagainst the land that we said Come and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the ChaldeansChalde′ans and for fear of the army of the Syrians; soSo we dwellare atliving in Jerusalem |
| 35:12 |
Then came the word of Jehovahthe untoLord came to Jeremiah: saying |
| 35:13 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem Will yeyou not receive instruction toand hearkenlisten to my words saithsays Jehovahthe Lord |
| 35:14 |
The wordscommand ofwhich JonadabJon′adab the son of Rechab thatgave heto commanded his sons not to drink no wine arehas performedbeen kept; and unto this day they drink none to this day for they obeyhave obeyed their fathers commandmentcommand But I have spoken untoto you risingpersistently upbut earlyyou and speaking; and ye have not hearkenedlistened untoto me |
| 35:15 |
I have sent alsoto unto you all my servants the prophets rising up early and sending them persistently saying ReturnTurn ye now every manone of you from his evil way and amend your doings and godo not go after other gods to serve them and yethen you shall dwell in the land which I havegave given to you and to your fathers: butBut yeyou havedid not inclinedincline your ear noror hearkenedlisten untoto me |
| 35:16 |
ForasmuchThe as the sons of JonadabJon′adab the son of Rechab have performedkept the commandmentcommand ofwhich their father whichgave he commanded them but this people hathhas not hearkenedobeyed unto me; |
| 35:17 |
thereforeTherefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord the God of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I willam bringbringing uponon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken untoto them butand they have not heard;listened and I have called untoto them butand they have not answered |
| 35:18 |
AndBut Jeremiahto said unto the house of the RechabitesRe′chabites Jeremiah said Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because yeyou have obeyed the commandmentcommand of JonadabJon′adab your father and kept all his precepts and done according unto all that he commanded you; |
| 35:19 |
therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: JonadabJon′adab the son of Rechab shall notnever wantlack a man to stand before me for ever |
| 36:1 |
AndIn it came to pass in the fourth year of JehoiakimJehoi′akim the son of JosiahJosi′ah king of Judah that this word came untoto Jeremiah from Jehovahthe sayingLord: |
| 36:2 |
Take thee a rollscroll of a book and write thereinon it all the words that I have spoken untoto theeyou against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations from the day I spakespoke untoto theeyou from the days of JosiahJosi′ah evenuntil untotoday this day |
| 36:3 |
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purposeintend to do untoto them; so that theyevery one may returnturn every man from his evil way; and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin |
| 36:4 |
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah;Neri′ah and Baruch wrote fromupon a scroll at the mouthdictation of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovahthe Lord which he had spoken untoto him upon a roll of a book |
| 36:5 |
And Jeremiah commandedordered Baruch saying I am shutdebarred up;from Igoing cannotto go into the house of Jehovah:the Lord; |
| 36:6 |
thereforeso you are to go thou and readon a fast day in the rollhearing whichof thouall hastthe writtenpeople fromin mythe mouthLords thehouse wordsyou ofshall Jehovahread in the earswords of the peopleLord infrom Jehovahsthe housescroll uponwhich theyou fasthave day;written andat alsomy thoudictation shaltYou shall read them also in the earshearing of all the men of Judah thatwho come out of their cities |
| 36:7 |
It may be theythat will present their supplication will come before Jehovahthe Lord and willthat return every one will turn 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 NeriahNeri′ah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commandedordered him about reading infrom the bookscroll the words of Jehovahthe Lord in Jehovahsthe Lords house |
| 36:9 |
NowIn it came to pass in the fifth year of JehoiakimJehoi′akim the son of JosiahJosi′ah 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 readin Baruchthe inhearing of all the bookpeople Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll in the house of Jehovahthe Lord in the chamber of GemariahGemari′ah the son of Shaphan the scribesecretary which was in the upper court at the entry of the newNew gateGate of Jehovahs house in the earsLords of all the peoplehouse |
| 36:11 |
AndWhen whenMicai′ah Micaiah the son of GemariahGemari′ah the son of Shaphan had heard outall the words of the bookLord allfrom the wordsscroll of Jehovah |
| 36:12 |
he went down intoto the kings house into the scribessecretarys chamber:; and lo all the princes were sitting there: toElish′ama wit Elishama the scribesecretary andDelai′ah Delaiah the son of ShemaiahShemai′ah andElna′than Elnathan the son of Achbor andGemari′ah Gemariah the son of Shaphan andZedeki′ah Zedekiah the son of HananiahHanani′ah and all the princes |
| 36:13 |
ThenAnd MicaiahMicai′ah declaredtold unto them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the bookscroll in the earshearing of the people |
| 36:14 |
ThereforeThen all the princes sent JehudiJehu′di the son of NethaniahNethani′ah the son of ShelemiahShelemi′ah the son of Cushi untoto say to Baruch saying Take in thyyour hand the rollscroll whereinthat thouyou hast read in the earshearing of the people and come So Baruch the son of NeriahNeri′ah took the rollscroll in his hand and came untoto them |
| 36:15 |
And they said untoto him Sit down now and read it in our ears So Baruch read it into theirthem ears |
| 36:16 |
NowWhen it came to pass when they had heard all the words they turned in fear one towardto another in fear; and they said untoto Baruch We willmust surelyreport tellall thethese kingwords ofto allthe theseking words |
| 36:17 |
AndThen they asked Baruch saying Tell us nowhow Howdid didstyou thou write all these words Was it at his mouthdictation |
| 36:18 |
Then Baruch answered them He pronounceddictated all these words untoto me withwhile his mouth and I wrote them with ink inon the bookscroll |
| 36:19 |
Then said the princes untosaid to Baruch Go and hide theeyou thou and Jeremiah; and let no manone know where yeyou are |
| 36:20 |
AndSo they went in to the king into the court; butto theythe hadking laidhaving upput the rollscroll in the chamber of ElishamaElish′ama the scribesecretary; and they toldreported all the words into the ears of the king |
| 36:21 |
SoThen the king sent JehudiJehu′di to fetchget the roll;scroll and he took it outfrom of the chamber of ElishamaElish′ama the scribesecretary; Andand JehudiJehu′di read it into the ears of the king and in the ears of all the princes thatwho stood beside the king |
| 36:22 |
NowIt was the ninth month and the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire burning in the brazier burning before him |
| 36:23 |
AndAs itJehu′di came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four leavescolumns that the king would cut itthem off with thea penknife and castthrow itthem into the fire that was in the brazier until all the rollentire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier |
| 36:24 |
AndYet they were not afraid nor rent their garments neither the king nor any of his servants thatwho heard all these words was afraid nor did they rend their garments |
| 36:25 |
MoreoverEven Elnathanwhen Elna′than and DelaiahDelai′ah and GemariahGemari′ah hadurged 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 JerahmeelJerah′meel the kings son and SeraiahSerai′ah the son of AzrielAz′ri el and ShelemiahShelemi′ah the son of Abdeel to takeseize Baruch the scribesecretary and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovahthe Lord hid them |
| 36:27 |
ThenNow the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah after that the king had burned the rollscroll andwith the words which Baruch wrote at Jeremiahs dictation the mouthword of the Lord came to Jeremiah: saying |
| 36:28 |
Take thee again another rollscroll and write inon it all the former words that were in the first rollscroll which JehoiakimJehoi′akim the king of Judah hathhas burned |
| 36:29 |
And concerning JehoiakimJehoi′akim king of Judah thouyou shaltshall say Thus saithsays Jehovah:the ThouLord hastYou have burned this rollscroll saying Why hasthave thouyou written thereinin sayingit Thethat the king of Babylon shallwill certainly come and destroy this land and shallwill causecut tooff cease from thenceit man and beast |
| 36:30 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord concerning JehoiakimJehoi′akim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out into the dayheat toby theday heat and in the nightfrost toby thenight frost |
| 36:31 |
And I will punish him and his seedoffspring and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the men of Judah all the evil that I have pronounced against them but they hearkenedwould not hear |
| 36:32 |
Then Jeremiah took Jeremiah another rollscroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe the son of NeriahNeri′ah who wrote thereinon fromit at the mouthdictation of Jeremiah all the words of the bookscroll which JehoiakimJehoi′akim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and theremany similar words were added besidesto unto them many like words |
| 37:1 |
AndZedeki′ah Zedekiah the son of JosiahJosi′ah reignedwhom asNebuchadrez′zar king instead of ConiahBabylon made king in the sonland of JehoiakimJudah whomreigned Nebuchadrezzarinstead king of BabylonConi′ah made king in the landson of JudahJehoi′akim |
| 37:2 |
But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land didlistened hearkento unto the words of Jehovahthe Lord which he spakespoke bythrough Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah |
| 37:3 |
AndKing ZedekiahZedeki′ah the king sent JehucalJehu′cal the son of ShelemiahShelemi′ah and ZephaniahZephani′ah the priest the son of MaaseiahMa theasei′ah priest to Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah saying Pray nowfor untous Jehovahto the Lord our God for us |
| 37:4 |
Now Jeremiah camewas still going in and went out among the people; for theyhe had not yet been put himin into prison |
| 37:5 |
AndThe Pharaohs army wasof Pharaoh had come forth out of Egypt; and when the ChaldeansChalde′ans thatwho were besieging Jerusalem heard tidingsnews of them they brakewithdrew up from Jerusalem |
| 37:6 |
Then came the word of Jehovahthe untoLord thecame prophetto Jeremiah sayingthe prophet: |
| 37:7 |
Thus saithsays Jehovah the Lord God of Israel: Thus shall yeyou say to the king of Judah thatwho sent you untoto me to inquire of me: Behold Pharaohs army which iscame come forth to help you shallis about to return to Egypt intoto theirits own land |
| 37:8 |
And the ChaldeansChalde′ans shall come againback and fight against this city; and they shall take it and burn it with fire |
| 37:9 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe DeceiveLord Do not deceive yourselves saying The ChaldeansChalde′ans shallwill surely departstay away from us; for they shallwill not departstay away |
| 37:10 |
For thougheven yeif hadyou smittenshould defeat the whole army of theChalde′ans Chaldeanswho thatare fightfighting against you and there remained butof wounded men among them yetonly wouldwounded theymen rise up every man in his tent they would rise up and burn this city with fire |
| 37:11 |
AndNow it came to pass that when the Chalde′an army ofhad thewithdrawn Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem forat fearthe approach of Pharaohs army |
| 37:12 |
then Jeremiah wentset forth out offrom Jerusalem to go intoto the land of Benjamin to receive his portion there inamong the midst of the people |
| 37:13 |
AndWhen when he was inat the gateBenjamin ofGate Benjamin a captainsentry of the ward was there whosenamed nameIri′jah was Irijah the son of ShelemiahShelemi′ah the son of Hananiah;Hanani′ah andseized he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet saying ThouYou artare fallingdeserting away to the ChaldeansChalde′ans |
| 37:14 |
ThenAnd Jeremiah said Jeremiah It is false; I am not fallingdeserting away to the ChaldeansChalde′ans But heIri′jah hearkenedwould not listen to him; soand Irijahseized laid hold on Jeremiah and brought him to the princes |
| 37:15 |
And the princes were wrothenraged withat Jeremiah and smotethey beat him and putimprisoned him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe;secretary for theyit had been made thata the prison |
| 37:16 |
When Jeremiah washad come intoto the dungeon house and into the cells and Jeremiah had remained there many days; |
| 37:17 |
thenKing ZedekiahZedeki′ah thesent kingfor senthim and fetchedreceived him: andThe the king askedquestioned him secretly in his house and said Is there any word from Jehovahthe AndLord Jeremiah said There is HeThen he said alsoYou Thoushall shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon |
| 37:18 |
Moreover Jeremiah also said untoto kingKing ZedekiahZedeki′ah WhereinWhat wrong have I sinneddone againstto theeyou or againstyour thy servants or against this people that yeyou have put me in prison |
| 37:19 |
Where now are your prophets thatwho prophesied untoto you saying The king of Babylon shallwill not come against you norand against this land |
| 37:20 |
AndNow now hear I pray theeyou O my lord the king: let my supplicationhumble Iplea praycome theebefore beyou presentedand beforedo theenot thatsend thou cause me notback to return to the house of Jonathan the scribesecretary lest I die there |

ThenSo ZedekiahKing theZedeki′ah kinggave commandedorders and they committed Jeremiah intoto the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread outwas ofgiven him daily from the bakers street until all the bread inof the city was spentgone ThusSo Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard |
| 38:1 |
AndNow ShephatiahShephati′ah the son of Mattan andGedali′ah Gedaliah the son of Pashhur and Jucal the son of ShelemiahShelemi′ah and Pashhur the son of MalchijahMalchi′ah heard the words that Jeremiah spakewas untosaying to all the people saying |
| 38:2 |

| 38:3 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and hebe shalltaken take it |
| 38:4 |
Then the princes said untoto the king Let this man we pray thee be put to death; forasmuchfor as he weakenethis weakening the hands of the mensoldiers ofwho warare thatleft remain in this city and the hands of all the people inby speaking such words untoto them: forFor this man seekethis not seeking the welfare of this people but thetheir hurtharm |
| 38:5 |
AndKing ZedekiahZedeki′ah the king said Behold he is in your handhands; for the king is not he that can do anythingnothing against you |
| 38:6 |
ThenSo they took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeoncistern of MalchijahMalchi′ah the kings son thatwhich was in the court of the guard: andletting theyJeremiah let down Jeremiahby withropes cords And in the dungeon there was no water in the cistern but only mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire |
| 38:7 |
NowWhen whenE′bed Ebedmel′ech melech the Ethiopian a eunuch who was in the kings house heard that they had put Jeremiah ininto the dungeon cistern—the king thenwas sitting in the gateBenjamin ofGate— Benjamin |
| 38:8 |
EbedE′bed melechmel′ech went forthfrom out of the kings house and spakesaid to the king saying |

Then the king commanded EbedE′bed melechmel′ech the Ethiopian saying Take fromthree hence thirty men with theeyou from here and takelift up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeoncistern before he diedies |

| 40:6 |
Then Jeremiah went Jeremiahto untoGedali′ah Gedaliah the son of AhikamAhi′kam toat Mizpah and dwelt with him among the people thatwho were left in the land |
| 40:7 |
NowWhen when all the captains of the forces that were in the fieldsopen evencountry they and their men heard that the king of Babylon had madeappointed GedaliahGedali′ah the son of AhikamAhi′kam governor in the land and had committed untoto him men and women and children andthose of the poorest of the land ofwho themhad thatnot werebeen nottaken carriedinto awayexile captive to Babylon; |
| 40:8 |
then they camewent to GedaliahGedali′ah toat Mizpah—Ish′mael to wit Ishmael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah andJoha′nan Johanan and Jonathan the sonsson of KareahKare′ah andSerai′ah Seraiah the son of TanhumethTanhu′meth and the sons of Ephai the NetophathiteNetoph′athite andJezani′ah Jezaniah the son of the MaacathiteMa ac′athite they and their men |
| 40:9 |
AndGedali′ah Gedaliah the son of AhikamAhi′kam the son of Shaphan swareswore untoto them and to their men saying FearDo not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans:Chalde′ans dwellDwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon and it shall be well with you |
| 40:10 |
As for me behold I will dwell at Mizpah to stand for you before the ChaldeansChalde′ans thatwho shallwill come untoto us:; but yeas for you gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil and putstore them in your vessels and dwell in your cities that yeyou have taken |
| 40:11 |
Likewise when all the Jews thatwho were in Moab and among the childrenAmmonites of Ammon and in Edom and that were in allother thelands countries heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant ofin Judah and that he had setappointed overGedali′ah them Gedaliah the son of AhikamAhi′kam the son of Shaphan; as governor over them |

MoreoverNow JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainsleaders of the forces that were in the fieldsopen country came to GedaliahGedali′ah toat Mizpah |

and said untoto him DostDo thouyou know that BaalisBa′alis the king of the childrenAmmonites ofhas Ammon hath sent IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah to take thyyour life But GedaliahGedali′ah the son of AhikamAhi′kam believedwould not believe them not |
| 40:15 |
Then JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah spakespoke secretly to GedaliahGedali′ah inat Mizpah secretly saying Let me go I pray thee and I will slay IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah and no manone shallwill know it: whereforeWhy should he take thyyour life so that all the Jews thatwho are gathered untoabout theeyou shouldwould be scattered and the remnant of Judah would perish |
| 40:16 |
But GedaliahGedali′ah the son of AhikamAhi′kam said untoto JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah ThouYou shaltshall not do this thing; for thouyou speakestare speaking falsely of IshmaelIsh′mael |
| 41:1 |
NowIn it came to pass in the seventh month thatIsh′mael Ishmael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah the son of ElishamaElish′ama of the seed royal andfamily one of the chief officers of the king andcame with ten men withto himGedali′ah came unto Gedaliah the son of AhikamAhi′kam toat Mizpah; andAs there they didate eat bread together inthere at Mizpah |

AndWhen it was so when they came into the midstcity ofIsh′mael the cityson thatof IshmaelNethani′ah and the sonmen ofwith Nethaniahhim slew them and cast them into thea midstcistern of the pit he and the men that were with him |
| 41:8 |
But there were ten men were found among them thatwho said untoto IshmaelIsh′mael SlayDo not kill us not; for we have stores hidden in the field of wheat andbarley ofoil barley and ofhoney oilhidden andin ofthe honeyfields So he forbarerefrained and slewdid not kill them notwith among their brethren companions |
| 41:9 |
Now the pitcistern whereininto Ishmaelwhich Ish′mael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain bywas the sidelarge ofcistern Gedaliahwhich theKing same was that which Asa the king had made for feardefense ofagainst BaashaBa′asha king of Israel; IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah filled it with themthe that were slain |

Then IshmaelIsh′mael carriedtook away captive all the residuerest of the people thatwho were in Mizpah even the kings daughters and all the people thatwho remainedwere inleft at Mizpah whom NebuzaradanNebu′zarad′an the captain of the guard had committed to GedaliahGedali′ah the son of Ahikam;Ahi′kam IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah carriedtook them away captive and departedset out to gocross over to the children of AmmonAmmonites |
| 41:11 |
But when JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainsleaders of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil thatwhich IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah had done |

NowAnd it came to pass that when all the people thatwho were with IshmaelIsh′mael saw JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainsleaders of the forces that were with him then they wererejoiced glad |
| 41:14 |
So all the people thatwhom IshmaelIsh′mael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back and went untoto JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah |
| 41:15 |
But IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah escaped from JohananJoha′nan with eight men and went to the childrenAmmonites of Ammon |
| 41:16 |
Then tookJoha′nan Johanan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainsleaders of the forces that were with him took all the remnantrest of the people whom heIsh′mael hadthe recoveredson fromof IshmaelNethani′ah thehad soncarried ofaway Nethaniahcaptive from Mizpah after that he had slain GedaliahGedali′ah the son of AhikamAhi′kam—soldiers to wit the men of war and the women and the children and the eunuchs whom heJoha′nan had brought back from GibeonGib′eon |

And they departedwent and dweltstayed inat Geruth Chimham whichnear isBethlehem byintending Beth lehem to go to enter into Egypt |
| 41:18 |
because of the ChaldeansChalde′ans; for they were afraid of them because IshmaelIsh′mael the son of NethaniahNethani′ah had slain GedaliahGedali′ah the son of AhikamAhi′kam whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land |
| 42:1 |
Then all the captainscommanders of the forces and JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and JezaniahAzari′ah the son of HoshaiahHoshai′ah and all the people from the least evento unto the greatest came near |
| 42:2 |

| 42:3 |
that Jehovahthe thyLord your God may show us the way wherein we should walkgo and the thing that we should do |

Then they said to Jeremiah JehovahMay the Lord be a true and faithful witness amongstagainst us if we do not act according to all the word wherewithwith Jehovahwhich thythe Lord your God shallsends sendyou thee to us |
| 42:6 |
Whether it beis good or whether it be evil we will obey the voice of Jehovahthe Lord our God to whom we sendare thee;sending you that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of Jehovahthe Lord our God |
| 42:7 |
AndAt itthe cameend toof pass after ten days that the word of Jehovahthe Lord came untoto Jeremiah |
| 42:8 |
Then called he Johanansummoned Joha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainscommanders of the forces thatwho were with him and all the people from the least even to the greatest |
| 42:9 |
and said untoto them Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord the God of Israel untoto whom yeyou sent me to present your supplication before him: |
| 42:10 |
If yeyou will stillremain abide in this land then I will I build you up and not pull you down; and I will plant you and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil thatwhich I havedid doneto unto you |
| 42:11 |
BeDo not afraidfear of the king of Babylon of whom yeyou are afraid; bedo not afraidfear of him saithsays Jehovah:the Lord for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand |

But if yeyou say We will not dwellremain in this land; sodisobeying that ye obey not the voice of Jehovahthe Lord your God |

and saying No; but we will go intoto the land of Egypt where we shall not see no war noror hear the sound of the trumpet noror havebe hungerhungry offor bread; and therewe will we dwell: there |

AndWhen it came to pass that when Jeremiah hadfinished made an end of speaking untoto all the people all thethese words of Jehovahthe Lord their God wherewithwith Jehovahwhich the Lord their God had sent him to them even all these words |
| 43:2 |
thenAzari′ah spake Azariah the son of HoshaiahHoshai′ah and JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the proudinsolent men sayingsaid untoto Jeremiah ThouYou speakestare falsely:telling Jehovaha lie The Lord our God hathdid not sentsend theeyou to say YeDo shall not go intoto Egypt to sojournlive there; |

but Baruch the son of NeriahNeri′ah settethhas theeset onyou against us to deliver us into the hand of the ChaldeansChalde′ans that they may putkill us toor deathtake and carry us awayinto captiveexile toin Babylon |
| 43:4 |
So JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainscommanders of the forces and all the people obeyeddid not obey the voice of Jehovahthe Lord to dwellremain in the land of Judah |
| 43:5 |
But JohananJoha′nan the son of KareahKare′ah and all the captainscommanders of the forces took all the remnant of Judah thatwho werehad returned to live in the land of Judah from all the nations whitherto which they had been driven— to sojourn in the land of Judah; |
| 43:6 |

And they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyeddid not obey the voice of Jehovah:the andLord And they camearrived untoat TahpanhesTah′panhes |

| 43:12 |
AndHe Ishall will kindle a fire in the housestemples of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them and carry them away captive:; and he shall arrayclean himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd puttethcleans on his garmentcloak of vermin; and he shall go forthaway from thencethere in peace |
| 43:13 |
He shall also break the pillarsobelisks of BethHeliop′olis shemeshwhich that is in the land of Egypt; and the housestemples of the gods of Egypt he shall he burn with fire |
| 44:1 |
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt that dwelt at Migdol and at TahpanhesTah′panhes and at Memphis and in the countryland of Pathros saying |

Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: YeYou have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah; andBehold behold this day they are a desolation and no manone dwellethdwells thereinin them |
| 44:3 |
because of theirthe wickedness which they have committed toprovoking provoke me to anger in that they went to burn incense and to serve other gods that they knew not neither they nor yeyou nor your fathers |
| 44:4 |
HowbeitYet I persistently sent untoto you all my servants the prophets rising up early and sending them saying Oh do not do this abominable thing that I hate |
| 44:5 |
But they hearkeneddid not norlisten inclinedor incline their ear to turn from their wickedness toand burn no incense untoto other gods |
| 44:6 |
WhereforeTherefore my wrath and minemy anger waswere poured forth and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they arebecame wasteda waste and desolatea desolation as itat is this day |
| 44:7 |
ThereforeAnd now thus saithsays Jehovah the Lord God of hosts the God of Israel: WhereforeWhy do you commit ye this great evil against youryourselves own souls to cut off from you man and woman infant and sucklingchild outfrom of the midst of Judah toleaving leave you noneno remaining;remnant |
| 44:8 |
inWhy thatdo yeyou provoke me untoto anger with the works of your hands burning incense untoto other gods in the land of Egypt whitherwhere yeyou arehave gonecome to sojourn;live that yeyou may be cut off and thatbecome ye may be a curse and a reproachtaunt 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 |
They arehave not humbled themselves even untoto this day neithernor have they feared nor walked in my law norand in my statutes thatwhich I set before you and before your fathers |
| 44:11 |
Therefore thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face against you for evil even to cut off all Judah |
| 44:12 |
And I will take the remnant of Judah thatwho have set their faces to gocome intoto the land of Egypt to sojournlive there and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt they shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall diebe consumed; from the least evento unto the greatest they shall die by the sword and by the famine; and they shall bebecome an execration anda anhorror astonishment and a curse and a reproachtaunt |
| 44:13 |
For I will punish themthose thatwho dwell in the land of Egypt as I have punished Jerusalem bywith the sword bywith the famine and bywith the pestilence; |
| 44:14 |
so that none of the remnant of Judah thatwho arehave gonecome intoto live in the land of Egypt to sojourn there shall escape or besurvive leftor to return intoto the land of Judah to which they have a desire to return to dwell there:; for nonethey shall not return saveexcept suchsome as shall escapefugitives |
| 44:15 |
Then all the men who knew that their wives burnedhad offered incense untoto other gods and all the women thatwho stood by a great assembly even all the people thatwho dwelt in Pathros in the land of Egypt in Pathros answered Jeremiah: saying |
| 44:16 |
As for the word thatwhich thouyou hasthave spoken untoto us in the name of Jehovahthe Lord we will not hearkenlisten untoto theeyou |
| 44:17 |
But we will certainlydo performeverything every word that iswe gonehave forthvowed out of our mouth to burn incense untoto the queen of heaven and to pour out drinklibations offeringsto unto her as we havedid doneboth we and our fathers our kings and our princes in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had we plenty of victualsfood and wereprospered well and saw no evil |
| 44:18 |
But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drinklibations offeringsto unto her we have wantedlacked alleverything things and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine |
| 44:19 |
And whenthe women said When we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drinklibations offeringsto unto her didwas it without our husbands approval that we makemade her cakes tofor worshipher bearing 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 had given him thatthis answer: saying |
| 44:21 |
TheAs for the incense that yeyou burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem yeyou and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land did not Jehovahthe Lord remember themit andDid came it not come into his mind |
| 44:22 |
soThe thatLord Jehovah could notno longer bear becauseyour of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which yeyou have committed; therefore is your land has become a desolation and ana astonishmentwaste and a curse without inhabitant as it is this day |
| 44:23 |
BecauseIt yeis havebecause you burned incense and because yeyou have sinned against Jehovahthe Lord and havedid not obeyedobey the voice of Jehovahthe norLord walkedor walk in his law norand in his statutes norand in his testimonies; thereforethat this evil ishas happenedbefallen unto you as itat is this day |
| 44:24 |
Moreover Jeremiah said untoto all the people and to all the women Hear the word of Jehovahthe Lord all you of Judah thatwho are in the land of Egypt: |
| 44:25 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord of hosts the God of Israel: sayingYou Ye and your wives have bothdeclared spoken with your mouths and have fulfilled it with your hands have fulfilled it saying We will surely perform our vows that we have vowedmade to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to pour out drinklibations offeringsto unto her: establishThen thenconfirm your vows and perform your vows |
| 44:26 |
Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovahthe Lord all you of Judah thatwho dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name saithsays Jehovahthe Lord that my name shall no more be namedinvoked inby the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt saying As the Lord JehovahGod livethlives |
| 44:27 |
Behold I watcham watching over them for evil and not for good; and all the men of Judah thatwho are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine until there beis an end of them |
| 44:28 |
And theythose thatwho escape the sword shall return outfrom of the land of Egypt intoto the land of Judah few in number; and all the remnant of Judah thatwho arecame goneto into the land of Egypt to sojournlive there shall know whose word shallwill stand mine or theirs |
| 44:29 |
AndThis this shall be the sign untoto you saithsays Jehovahthe Lord that I will punish you in this place in order that yeyou may know that my words shallwill surely stand against you for evil: |
| 44:30 |
Thus saithsays Jehovahthe Lord Behold I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of themthose thatwho seek his life; as I gave ZedekiahZedeki′ah king of Judah into the hand of NebuchadrezzarNebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon who was his enemy and sought his life |
