For thus hathsaith theJehovah Lord said The whole land shall be desolatea desolation; yet will I not make a full end |
| 4:28 |
For this shall the earth mourn and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it I have purposed it and willI have not repentrepented neither will I turn back from it |

| 5:3 |
O LordJehovah aredo not thine eyes look upon the truth thou hast stricken them but they havewere not grieved; thou hast consumed them but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return |
| 5:4 |
ThereforeThen I said Surely these are poor; they are foolish:; for they know not the way of theJehovah Lord nor the judgmentlaw of their God: |

| 11:5 |
Thatthat I may performestablish the oath which I havesware sworn unto your fathers to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as itat is this day Then answered I and said SoAmen be it O LordJehovah |

ThenAnd theJehovah Lord said unto me Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem saying Hear ye the words of this covenant and do them |
| 11:8 |
Yet they obeyed not nor inclined their ear but walked every one in the imaginationstubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I willbrought bring upon them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do: but they did them not |
| 11:9 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto me A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem |
| 11:10 |
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers whichwho refused to hear my words; and they wentare gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers |
| 11:11 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord Behold I will bring evil upon them which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me but I will not hearken unto them |
| 11:12 |
Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto whomwhich they offer incense: but they shallwill not save them at all in the time of their trouble |
| 11:13 |
For according to the number of thy cities wereare thy gods O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to thatthe shameful thing even altars to burn incense unto Baal |

For theJehovah Lord of hosts thatwho planted thee hath pronounced evil against thee forbecause of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah which they have donewrought againstfor themselves toin provokeprovoking me to anger inby offering incense unto Baal |
| 11:18 |
And theJehovah Lordgave hath given me knowledge of it and I knowknew it: then thou shewedstshowedst me their doings |

But I was like a gentle lamb or an ox that is broughtled to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me saying Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof and let us cut him off from the land of the living that his name may be no more remembered |
| 11:20 |

| 12:7 |
I have forsaken minemy house I have leftcast mineoff my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies |
| 12:8 |
MineMy heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest;: itshe criethhath oututtered her voice against me:; therefore I have I hated ither |
| 12:9 |
MineIs my heritage is unto me as a speckled bird of prey are the birds roundof aboutprey are against her; comeround about go ye assemble all the beasts of the field comebring them to devour |
| 12:10 |
Many pastorsshepherds have destroyed my vineyard they have trodden my portion under foot they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness |
| 12:11 |
They have made it desolatea anddesolation; being desolate it mourneth unto me being desolate; the whole land is made desolate because no man layeth it to heart |
| 12:12 |
TheDestroyers spoilers are come upon all highthe placesbare throughheights in the wilderness:; for the sword of theJehovah Lorddevoureth shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shallhath havepeace peace |
| 12:13 |
They have sown wheat butand shallhave reapreaped thorns:; they have put themselves to pain butand shallprofit not profitnothing: and theyye shall be ashamed of your revenuesfruits because of the fierce anger of the LordJehovah |
| 12:14 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord against all mine evil neighboursneighbors that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit;: Behold I will pluck them outup offrom off their land and will pluck outup the house of Judah from among them |
| 12:15 |
And it shall come to pass after that I have plucked them outup I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again every man to his heritage and every man to his land |
| 12:16 |
And it shall come to pass if they will diligently learn the ways of my people to swear by my name TheAs LordJehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people |
| 12:17 |
But if they will not obeyhear Ithen will utterlyI pluck up that nation plucking up and destroydestroying thatit nation saith the LordJehovah |

Thus saith theJehovah Lord unto me Go and getbuy thee a linen girdle and put it upon thy loins and put it not in water |
| 13:2 |
So I gotbought a girdle according to the word of theJehovah Lord and put it onupon my loins |
| 13:3 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me the second time saying |
| 13:4 |
Take the girdle that thou hast gotbought which is upon thy loins and arise go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a holecleft of the rock |
| 13:5 |
So I went and hid it by the Euphrates as theJehovah Lord commanded me |
| 13:6 |
And it came to pass after many days that theJehovah Lord said unto me Arise go to the Euphrates and take the girdle from thence which I commanded thee to hide there |
| 13:7 |
Then I went to the Euphrates and digged and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it:; and behold the girdle was marred it was profitable for nothing |
| 13:8 |
Then the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 13:9 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem |
| 13:10 |
This evil people whichthat refuse to hear my words whichthat walk in the imaginationstubbornness of their heart and walkare gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them shall even be as this girdle which is goodprofitable for nothing |
| 13:11 |
For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah saith the LordJehovah; that they mightmay be unto me for a people and for a name and for a praise and for a glory: but they would not hear |
| 13:12 |
Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word;: Thus saith Jehovah the Lord God of Israel Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine |
| 13:13 |
Then shalt thou say unto them Thus saith theJehovah Lord Behold I will fill all the inhabitants of this land even the kings that sit upon Davids throne and the priests and the prophets and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with drunkenness |
| 13:14 |
And I will dash them one against another even the fathers and the sons together saith the LordJehovah: I will not pity nor spare nor have mercycompassion butthat I should not destroy them |
| 13:15 |
Hear ye and give ear; be not proud:; for theJehovah Lord hath spoken |
| 13:16 |
Give glory to theJehovah Lord your God before he cause darkness and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains and while ye look for light he turn it into the shadow of death and make it gross darkness |
| 13:17 |
But if ye will not hear it my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore and run down with tears because theJehovahs Lords flock is carriedtaken away captive |
| 13:18 |
Say thou unto the king and to the queen mother Humble yourselves sit down:; for your principalitiesheadtires shallare come down even the crown of your glory |
| 13:19 |
The cities of the southSouth shallare be shut up and there is none shallto open them: Judah shallis be carried away captive all of it; it shallis be wholly carried away captive |
| 13:21 |
What wilt thou say when he shall punishset over thee foras head those whom thou hast thyself taught them to be captainsfriends andto as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take hold of thee as of a woman in travail |
| 13:22 |

| 14:7 |
OThough Lord though our iniquities testify against us dowork thou it for thy names sake: O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee |
| 14:8 |
O thethou hope of Israel the saviourSaviour thereof in the time of trouble why shouldest thou be as a strangersojourner in the land and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night |
| 14:9 |

| 14:10 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord unto this people ThusEven so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore theJehovah Lord doth not accept them; henow will nowhe remember their iniquity and visit their sins |
| 14:11 |
ThenAnd Jehovah said the Lord unto me Pray not for this people for their good |

| 18:8 |
Ifif that nation againstconcerning whomwhich I have pronouncedspoken turn from their evil I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them |
| 18:10 |
Ifif itthey do that which is evil in my sight that itthey obey not my voice then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them |

Andand say Hear ye the word of theJehovah Lord O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem;: Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel; Behold I will bring evil upon this place the which whosoever heareth his ears shall tingle |

| 19:5 |
Theyand have built also the high places of Baal to burn their sons within the fire for burnt offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not nor spake it neither came it into my mind: |
| 19:6 |
Thereforetherefore behold the days come saith theJehovah Lord that this place shall no more be called TophetTopheth nor The valley of the son of Hinnom but The valley of slaughterSlaughter |

| 19:13 |
Andand the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah which are defiled shall be defiled as the place of TophetTopheth becauseeven of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods |
| 19:14 |
Then came Jeremiah from TophetTopheth whither theJehovah Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of theJehovahs Lords house; and said to all the people: |
| 19:15 |

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by wronginjustice; that useth his neighboursneighbors service without wages and giveth him not for his workhire; |
| 22:14 |
Thatthat saith I will build me a wide house and largespacious chambers and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieledceiled with cedar and painted with vermilion |
| 22:15 |
Shalt thou reign because thou closeststrivest thyselfto excel in cedar didDid not thy father eat and drink and do judgmentjustice and justicerighteousness and then it was well with him |
| 22:16 |
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well withWas him: was not this to know me saith theJehovah Lord |
| 22:17 |
But thine eyes and thinethy heart are not but for thy covetousness and for toshedding shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence to do it |
| 22:18 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah;: Theythey shall not lament for him saying Ah my brother or Ah sister theyThey shall not lament for him saying Ah lord or Ah his glory |
| 22:20 |
Go up to Lebanon and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan and cry from theAbarim; passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed |
| 22:22 |
The wind shall eatfeed up all thy pastorsshepherds and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness |
| 22:23 |
O inhabitant of Lebanon that makest thy nest in the cedars how graciousgreatly to be pitied shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee the pain as of a woman in travail |
| 22:24 |
As I live saith theJehovah Lord though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand yet would I pluck thee thence; |
| 22:25 |
Andand I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life and into the hand of them whoseof facewhom thou fearestart afraid even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans |
| 22:27 |
But to the land whereunto theytheir desiresoul longeth to return thither shall they not return |
| 22:28 |
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idolvessel is he a vessel wherein isnone nodelighteth pleasure wherefore are they cast out he and his seed and are cast into athe land which they know not |
| 22:29 |
O earth earth earth hear the word of theJehovah Lord |
| 22:30 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord Write ye this man childless a man that shall not prosper in his days:; for no more shall a man of his seed shall prosper sitting upon the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah |
| 23:1 |
Woe be unto the pastorsshepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:2 |
Therefore thus saith Jehovah the Lord God of Israel against the pastorsshepherds that feed my people;: Ye have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them:; behold I will visit upon you the evil of your doings saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:3 |
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries whither I have driven them and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increasemultiply |
| 23:4 |
And I will set up shepherds over them whichwho shall feed them:; and they shall fear no more nor be dismayed neither shall theyany be lacking saith the LordJehovah |
| 23:5 |
Behold the days come saith theJehovah Lord that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch and ahe King shall reign as king and prosperdeal wisely and shall execute judgmentjustice and justicerighteousness in the earthland |
| 23:6 |
In his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely:; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: TheJehovah Lordour Ourrighteousness Righteousness |
| 23:7 |
Therefore behold the days come saith theJehovah Lord that they shall no more say TheAs LordJehovah liveth whichwho brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; |
| 23:8 |
Butbut TheAs LordJehovah liveth whichwho brought up and whichwho led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country and from all the countries whither I had driven them; andAnd they shall dwell in their own land |
| 23:9 |
MineConcerning the prophets My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man and like a man whom wine hath overcome because of theJehovah Lord and because of thehis holy words of his holiness |
| 23:10 |
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasantpastures places of the wilderness are dried up andAnd their course is evil and their forcemight is not right; |
| 23:11 |
Forfor both prophet and priest are profane; yea in my house have I found their wickedness saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:12 |
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery waysplaces in the darkness: they shall be driven on and fall therein:; for I will bring evil upon them even the year of their visitation saith the LordJehovah |
| 23:13 |
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied inby Baal and caused my people Israel to err |
| 23:14 |
IIn have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem analso I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies:; and they strengthen also the hands of evildoersevil doers so that none doth return from his wickedness;: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah |
| 23:15 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts concerning the prophets;: Behold I will feed them with wormwood and make them drink the water of gall:; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profanenessungodliness gone forth into all the land |
| 23:16 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they maketeach you vain:vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of theJehovah Lord |
| 23:17 |
They say stillcontinually unto them that despise me TheJehovah Lord hath said Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh afterin the imaginationstubbornness of his own heart they say No evil shall come upon you |
| 23:18 |
For who hath stood in the counselcouncil of theJehovah Lordthat andhe hathshould perceivedperceive and heardhear his word who hath marked hismy word and heard it |
| 23:19 |
Behold athe whirlwindtempest of theJehovah Lordeven his wrath is gone forth inyea fury even a grievouswhirling whirlwindtempest: it shall fallburst grievously upon the head of the wicked |
| 23:20 |
The anger of theJehovah Lord shall not return until he have executed and till he have performed the thoughtsintents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall considerunderstand it perfectly |
| 23:21 |
I havesent not sent these prophets yet they ran: I havespake not spokenunto to them yet they prophesied |
| 23:22 |
But if they had stood in my counselcouncil andthen had they caused my people to hear my words thenand theyhad should have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings |
| 23:23 |
Am I a God at hand saith theJehovah Lord and not a God afar off |
| 23:24 |
Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him saith theJehovah Lord Do not I fill heaven and earth saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:25 |
I have heard what the prophets have said that prophesy lies in my name saying I have dreamed I have dreamed |
| 23:26 |
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies yeaeven theythe are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; |
| 23:27 |
Whichthat think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbourneighbor as their fathers haveforgat forgotten my name for Baal |
| 23:28 |
The prophet that hath a dream let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully What is the chaffstraw to the wheat saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:29 |
Is not my word like as a fire saith the LordJehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces |
| 23:30 |
Therefore behold I am against the prophets saith theJehovah Lord that steal my words every one from his neighbourneighbor |
| 23:31 |
Behold I am against the prophets saith theJehovah Lord that use their tongues and say He saith |
| 23:32 |
Behold I am against them that prophesy falselying dreams saith theJehovah Lord and do tell them and cause my people to err by their lies and by their lightness;vain boasting: yet I sent them not nor commanded them:; thereforeneither do they shall not profit this people at all saith the LordJehovah |
| 23:33 |
And when this people or the prophet or a priest shall ask thee saying What is the burden of theJehovah Lordthen thou shalt thenthou say unto them What burden I will evencast forsake you off saith theJehovah Lord |
| 23:34 |
And as for the prophet and the priest and the people that shall say The burden of theJehovah Lord I will even punish that man and his house |
| 23:35 |
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbourneighbor and every one to his brother What hath theJehovah Lord answered and What hath theJehovah Lordspoken spoken |
| 23:36 |
And the burden of theJehovah Lord shall ye mention no more: for every mans own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God of theJehovah Lord of hosts our God |
| 23:37 |
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet What hath theJehovah Lord answered thee and What hath theJehovah Lordspoken spoken |
| 23:38 |
But sinceif ye say The burden of the LordJehovah; therefore thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Because ye say this word The burden of theJehovah Lord and I have sent unto you saying Ye shall not say The burden of theJehovah; Lord; |
| 23:39 |
Thereforetherefore behold I even I will utterly forget you and I will forsakecast you off and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers andaway castfrom you out of my presence: |
| 23:40 |
Andand I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you and a perpetual shame which shall not be forgotten |
| 24:1 |
TheJehovah Lordshowed shewed me and behold two baskets of figs were set before the temple of theJehovah Lord after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the princes of Judah with the carpenterscraftsmen and smiths from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon |
| 24:2 |
One basket had very good figs even like the figs that are first ripe:; and the other basket had very naughtybad figs which could not be eaten they were so bad |
| 24:3 |
Then said theJehovah Lord unto me What seest thou Jeremiah And I said Figs; the good figs very good; and the evilbad very evilbad that cannot be eaten they are so evilbad |
| 24:4 |
AgainAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 24:5 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel;: Like these good figs so will I acknowledgeregard themthe thatcaptives are carried away captive of Judah whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for theirgood good |
| 24:7 |
And I will give them ana heart to know me that I am the LordJehovah: and they shall be my people and I will be their God:; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart |
| 24:8 |
And as the evilbad figs which cannot be eaten they are so evil;bad surely thus saith theJehovah Lord So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah and his princes and the residue of Jerusalem that remain in this land and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: |
| 24:9 |
And I will delivereven give them up to be removedtossed intoto and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for theirevil; hurt to be a reproach and a proverb a taunt and a curse in all places whither I shall drive them |
| 25:1 |
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah thatthe same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; |
| 25:2 |
The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying: |
| 25:3 |
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah even unto this day thatthese is the three and twentiethtwenty yearyears the word of theJehovah Lord hath come unto me and I have spoken unto you rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened |
| 25:4 |
And theJehovah Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets rising up early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened nor inclined your ear to hear |
| 25:5 |
Theysaying saidReturn Turn ye again now every one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings and dwell in the land that theJehovah Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers forfrom everof old and ever:even for evermore; |
| 25:6 |
Andand go not after other gods to serve them and to worship them and provoke me not to anger with the workswork of your hands; and I will do you no hurt |
| 25:7 |
Yet ye have not hearkened unto me saith the LordJehovah; that ye mightmay provoke me to anger with the workswork of your hands to your own hurt |
| 25:8 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: Because ye have not heard my words |
| 25:9 |
Beholdbehold I will send and take all the families of the north saith theJehovah Lord and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon my servant and will bring them against this land and against the inhabitants thereof and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment and ana hissing and perpetual desolations |
| 25:10 |
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride the sound of the millstones and the light of the candlelamp |
| 25:12 |
And it shall come to pass when seventy years are accomplished that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation saith theJehovah Lord for their iniquity and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it perpetualdesolate desolationsfor ever |
| 25:14 |
For many nations and great kings shall servemake themselvesbondmen of them also:even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the workswork of their own hands |
| 25:15 |
For thus saith Jehovah the Lord God of Israel unto me;: Take this cup of the wine cup of thiswrath fury at my hand and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it |
| 25:16 |
And they shall drink and bereel movedto and fro and be mad because of the sword that I will send among them |
| 25:17 |
Then took I the cup at theJehovahs Lords hand and made all the nations to drink unto whom theJehovah Lord had sent me: |
| 25:18 |
Toto wit Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and the kings thereof and the princes thereof to make them a desolation an astonishment ana hissing and a curse; as it is this day; |
| 25:20 |
Andand all the mingled people and all the kings of the land of Uz and all the kings of the land of the Philistines and Ashkelon and AzzahGaza and Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod; |
| 25:21 |
Edom and Moab and the children of Ammon; |
| 25:22 |
Andand all the kings of TyrusTyre and all the kings of ZidonSidon and the kings of the islesisle which areis beyond the sea; |
| 25:23 |
Dedan and Tema and Buz and all that arehave in the utmostcorners cornersof their hair cut off; |
| 25:24 |
Andand all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desertwilderness; |
| 25:25 |
Andand all the kings of Zimri and all the kings of Elam and all the kings of the Medes; |
| 25:26 |
Andand all the kings of the north far and near one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them |
| 25:27 |
ThereforeAnd thou shalt say unto them Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Drink ye and be drunken and spuespew and fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you |
| 25:28 |
And it shall be if they refuse to take the cup at thinethy hand to drink then shalt thou say unto them Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: Ye shall certainlysurely drink |
| 25:29 |
For lo I begin to bringwork evil onat the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished Ye shall not be unpunished:; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth saith theJehovah Lord of hosts |
| 25:30 |
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words and say unto them TheJehovah Lordwill shall roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shallwill mightily roar uponagainst his habitationfold; he shallwill give a shout as they that tread the grapes against all the inhabitants of the earth |
| 25:31 |
A noise shall come even to the endsend of the earth; for theJehovah Lord hath a controversy with the nations; he will pleadenter into judgment with all flesh;: as for the wicked he will give them that are wicked to the sword saith the LordJehovah |
| 25:32 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation and a great whirlwindtempest shall be raised up from the coastsuttermost parts of the earth |
| 25:33 |
And the slain of theJehovah Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented neither gathered nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground |
| 25:34 |
HowlWail ye shepherds and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes ye principal of the flock:; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;fully come and ye shall fall like a pleasantgoodly vessel |
| 25:36 |
A voice of the cry of the shepherds and anthe howlingwailing of the principal of the flock shall be heard: for theJehovah Lordlayeth hathwaste spoiled their pasture |
| 25:37 |
And the peaceable habitationsfolds are cutbrought downto silence because of the fierce anger of theJehovah Lord |
| 25:38 |
He hath forsakenleft his covert as the lion:; for their land is desolatebecome an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressoroppressing sword and because of his fierce anger |
| 26:1 |
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from theJehovah Lordsaying saying |
| 26:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Stand in the court of theJehovahs Lords house and speak unto all the cities of Judah which come to worship in theJehovahs Lords house all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: |
| 26:3 |
IfIt somay be they will hearken and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings |
| 26:4 |
And thou shalt say unto them Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; If ye will not hearken to me to walk in my law which I have set before you |
| 26:5 |
Toto hearken to the words of my servants the prophets whom I sentsend unto you botheven rising up early and sending them but ye have not hearkened; |
| 26:6 |
Thenthen will I make this house like Shiloh and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth |
| 26:7 |
SoAnd the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LordJehovah |
| 26:8 |
NowAnd it came to pass when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that theJehovah Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people that the priests and the prophets and all the people tooklaid hold on him saying Thou shalt surely die |
| 26:9 |
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of theJehovah Lord saying This house shall be like Shiloh and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant And all the people were gathered againstunto Jeremiah in the house of the LordJehovah |
| 26:10 |
WhenAnd when the princes of Judah heard these things then they came up from the kings house unto the house of theJehovah; Lord and they sat down in the entry of the new gate of theJehovahs Lordshouse house |
| 26:11 |
Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people saying This man is worthy toof diedeath; for he hath prophesied against this city as ye have heard with your ears |
| 26:12 |
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people saying TheJehovah Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard |
| 26:13 |
ThereforeNow nowtherefore amend your ways and your doings and obey the voice of theJehovah Lord your God; and theJehovah Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you |
| 26:14 |
AsBut as for me behold I am in your hand: do with me as seemethis good and meetright untoin youyour eyes |
| 26:15 |
ButOnly know ye for certain that if ye put me to death ye shallwill surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and upon the inhabitants thereof:; for of a truth theJehovah Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears |
| 26:16 |
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets;: This man is not worthy toof die:death; for he hath spoken to us in the name of theJehovah Lord our God |
| 26:18 |
Micah the MorasthiteMorashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spake to all the people of Judah saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: Zion shall be plowed likeas a field and Jerusalem shall become heaps and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest |
| 26:19 |
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death did he not fear theJehovah Lord and besoughtentreat the Lordfavor of Jehovah and theJehovah Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them Thus mightshould we procurecommit great evil against our own souls |
| 26:20 |
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of theJehovah LordUriah Urijah the son of Shemaiah of KirjathjearimKiriath whojearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah |
| 26:21 |
And when Jehoiakim the king with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words the king sought to put him to death:; but when UrijahUriah heard it he was afraid and fled and went into Egypt; |
| 26:22 |
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt namely Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt; |
| 26:23 |
Andand they fetched forth UrijahUriah out of Egypt and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people |
| 26:24 |
NeverthelessBut the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death |
| 27:1 |
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from theJehovah Lordsaying saying |
| 27:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord to me;: Make thee bonds and yokesbars and put them upon thy neck; |
| 27:3 |
Andand send them to the king of Edom and to the king of Moab and to the king of the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon and to the king of TyrusTyre and to the king of ZidonSidon by the hand of the messengers whichthat come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;: |
| 27:4 |
Andand commandgive them toa saycharge unto their masters saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;: |
| 27:5 |
I have made the earth the manmen and the beastbeasts that are upon the groundface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and haveI givengive it unto whom it seemedseemeth meetright unto me |
| 27:6 |
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him also to serve him |
| 27:7 |
And all the nations shall serve him and his son and his sons son until the very time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall servemake themselveshim oftheir himbondman |
| 27:8 |
And it shall come to pass that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon that nation will I punish saith theJehovah Lord with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence until I have consumed them by his hand |
| 27:9 |
ThereforeBut as for you hearken ye not ye to your prophets nor to your diviners nor to your dreamersdreams nor to your enchanterssoothsayers nor to your sorcerers whichthat speak unto you saying Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: |
| 27:10 |
Forfor they prophesy a lie unto you to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out and ye should perish |
| 27:11 |
But the nationsnation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him thosethat nation will I let remain still in their own land saith the LordJehovah; and they shall till it and dwell therein |
| 27:12 |
And I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words saying Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people and live |
| 27:13 |
Why will ye die thou and thy people by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence as theJehovah Lord hath spoken againstconcerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon |
| 27:14 |
ThereforeAnd hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you saying Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:; for they prophesy a lie unto you |
| 27:15 |
For I have not sent them saith theJehovah Lordbut yet they prophesy afalsely lie in my name; that I mightmay drive you out and that ye mightmay perish ye and the prophets that prophesy unto you |
| 27:16 |
Also I spake to the priests and to all this people saying Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you saying Behold the vessels of theJehovahs Lords house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon:; for they prophesy a lie unto you |
| 27:17 |
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon and live: wherefore should this city bebecome laida wastedesolation |
| 27:18 |
But if they be prophets and if the word of theJehovah Lord be with them let them now make intercession to theJehovah Lord of hosts that the vessels which are left in the house of theJehovah Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem go not to Babylon |
| 27:19 |
For thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts concerning the pillars and concerning the sea and concerning the bases and concerning the residue of the vessels that remainare left in this city |
| 27:20 |
Whichwhich Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; |
| 27:21 |
Yeayea thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel concerning the vessels that remainare left in the house of theJehovah Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and ofat Jerusalem;: |
| 27:22 |
They shall be carried to Babylon and there shall they be until the day that I visit them saith the LordJehovah; then will I bring them up and restore them to this place |
| 28:1 |
And it came to pass the same year in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah in the fourth year and in the fifth month that Hananiah the son of AzurAzzur the prophet whichwho was of Gibeon spake unto me in the house of theJehovah Lord in the presence of the priests and of all the people saying |
| 28:2 |
Thus speaketh theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel saying I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon |
| 28:3 |
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of theJehovahs Lords house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried them to Babylon: |
| 28:4 |
Andand I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah with all the captives of Judah that went intoto Babylon saith theJehovah; Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon |
| 28:5 |
Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of theJehovah Lord |
| 28:6 |
Eveneven the prophet Jeremiah said Amen: theJehovah Lord do so:; theJehovah Lord perform thy words which thou hast prophesied to bring again the vessels of theJehovahs Lords house and all thatthem isof carriedthe awaycaptivity captive from Babylon intounto this place |
| 28:7 |
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears and in the ears of all the people;: |
| 28:8 |
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries and against great kingdoms of war and of evil and of pestilence |
| 28:9 |
The prophet whichthat prophesieth of peace when the word of the prophet shall come to pass then shall the prophet be known that theJehovah Lord hath truly sent him |
| 28:10 |
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yokebar from off the prophet Jeremiahs neck and brake it |
| 28:11 |
And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people saying Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon fromwithin thetwo neckfull ofyears allfrom nationsoff within the spaceneck of twoall fullthe yearsnations And the prophet Jeremiah went his way |
| 28:12 |
Then the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yokebar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah saying |
| 28:13 |
Go and tell Hananiah saying Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Thou hast broken the yokesbars of wood; but thou shalthast makemade forin themtheir yokesstead bars of iron |
| 28:14 |
For thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also |
| 28:15 |

| 29:3 |
Byby the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon saying |

| 29:10 |
For thus saith theJehovah LordAfter That after seventy years beare accomplished atfor Babylon I will visit you and perform my good word toward you in causing you to return to this place |

Becausebecause they have not hearkened to my words saith theJehovah Lordwherewith which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear saith theJehovah Lord |
| 29:20 |
Hear ye therefore the word of theJehovah Lord all ye of the captivity whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon: |
| 29:21 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel ofconcerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and ofconcerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah whichwho prophesy a lie unto you in my name;: Behold I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; |
| 29:22 |
Andand of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivitycaptives of Judah whichthat are in Babylon saying TheJehovah Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire; |
| 29:23 |
Becausebecause they have committedwrought villanyfolly in Israel and have committed adultery with their neighboursneighbors wives and have spoken lying words in my name falsely which I have not commanded them not; evenand I knowam he that knoweth and am a witness saith the LordJehovah |

| 29:28 |
Forforasmuch thereforeas he hath sent unto us in Babylon saying ThisThe captivity is long: build ye houses and dwell in them; and plant gardens and eat the fruit of them |
| 29:30 |
Then came the word of theJehovah Lord unto Jeremiah saying |
| 29:31 |
Send to all them of the captivity saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite;: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you and I sent him not and he hath caused you to trust in a lie:; |

The word that came to Jeremiah from theJehovah Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar |
| 32:2 |
ForNow thenat that time the king of Babylons army besiegedwas besieging Jerusalem:; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prisonguard which was in the king of Judahs house |
| 32:3 |
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up saying Wherefore dost thou prophesy and say Thus saith theJehovah Lord Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall take it; |
| 32:4 |
Andand Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon and shall speak with him mouth to mouth and his eyes shall behold his eyes; |
| 32:5 |
Andand he shall leadbring Zedekiah to Babylon and there shall he be until I visit him saith the LordJehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans ye shall not prosper |
| 32:6 |
And Jeremiah said The word of theJehovah Lord came unto me saying |
| 32:7 |
Behold HanameelHanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth:; for the right of redemption is thine to buy it |
| 32:8 |
So HanameelHanamel mine uncles son came to me in the court of the prisonguard according to the word of theJehovah Lord and said unto me Buy my field I pray thee that is in Anathoth which is in the countryland of Benjamin:; for the right of inheritance is thine and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself Then I knew that this was the word of theJehovah Lord |
| 32:9 |
And I bought the field ofthat Hanameelwas myin unclesAnathoth sonof thatHanamel wasmine inuncles Anathothson and weighed him the money even seventeen shekels of silver |
| 32:10 |
And I subscribed the evidencedeed and sealed it and tookcalled witnesses and weighed him the money in the balances |
| 32:11 |
So I took the evidencedeed of the purchase both that which was sealed according to the law and custom and that which was open: |
| 32:12 |
Andand I gavedelivered the evidencedeed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah the son of MaaseiahMahseiah in the sightpresence of HanameelHanamel mine uncles son and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the bookdeed of the purchase before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prisonguard |
| 32:14 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Take these evidencesdeeds this evidencedeed of the purchase both which is sealed and this evidencedeed which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days |
| 32:15 |
For thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be possessedbought again in this land |
| 32:16 |
Now whenafter I had delivered the evidencedeed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah I prayed unto theJehovah Lordsaying saying |
| 32:17 |
Ah Lord GodJehovah behold thou hast made the heavenheavens and the earth by thy great power and stretchedby outthine outstretched arm; and there is nothing too hard for thee: |
| 32:18 |
Thouwho shewestshowest lovingkindness unto thousands and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them:; the Greatgreat the Mightymighty God theJehovah Lord of hosts is his name; |
| 32:19 |
Greatgreat in counsel and mighty in work:; forwhose thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings:; |
| 32:20 |
Whichwho hastdidst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto this day andboth in Israel and among other men; and hastmadest made thee a name as at this day; |
| 32:21 |
Andand hastdidst broughtbring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and with aan stretchedoutstretched out arm and with great terror; |
| 32:22 |
Andand hastgavest given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them a land flowing with milk and honey; |
| 32:23 |
Andand they came in and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: |
| 32:24 |
Behold the mountsmounds they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it because of the sword and of the famine and of the pestilence:; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold thou seest it |
| 32:25 |
And thou hast said unto me O Lord GodJehovah Buy thee the field for money and takecall witnesses; forwhereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans |
| 32:26 |
Then came the word of theJehovah Lord unto Jeremiah saying |
| 32:27 |
Behold I am theJehovah Lord the God of all flesh: is there anyanything thing too hard for me |
| 32:28 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Behold I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and he shall take it: |
| 32:29 |
Andand the Chaldeans that fight against this city shall come and set firethis city on thisfire city and burn it with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal and poured out drink offerings unto other gods to provoke me to anger |
| 32:30 |
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only donethat which was evil beforein memy sight from their youth:; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands saith theJehovah Lord |
| 32:31 |
For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my furywrath from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face |
| 32:32 |
Becausebecause of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah which they have done to provoke me to anger they their kings their princes their priests and their prophets and the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem |
| 32:33 |
And they have turned unto me the back and not the face: and though I taught them rising up early and teaching them yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction |
| 32:36 |
And now therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel concerning this city whereof ye say It shallis begiven delivered 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 whither I have driven them in mine anger and in my furywrath and in great wrathindignation; and I will bring them again unto this place and I will cause them to dwell safely: |
| 32:39 |
Andand I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me for ever 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; butand I will put my fear in their hearts that they shallmay not depart from me |
| 32:42 |
For thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them |
| 32:44 |
Men shall buy fields for money and subscribe evidencesthe deeds and seal them and takecall witnesses in the land of Benjamin and in the places about Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah and in the cities of the mountainshill country and in the cities of the valleylowland and in the cities of the southSouth: for I will cause their captivity to return saith the LordJehovah |
| 33:1 |
Moreover the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time while he was yet shut up in the court of the prisonguard saying |
| 33:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lordthat thedoeth makerit thereofJehovah the Lord that formedformeth it to establish it; theJehovah Lord is his name;: |
| 33:3 |
Call unto me and I will answer thee and will show thee great things and mightydifficult things which thou knowest not |
| 33:4 |
For thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah which are thrownbroken down byto make a defence against the mountsmounds and byagainst the sword; |
| 33:5 |
Theywhile men come to fight with the Chaldeans butand it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in mine anger and in my furywrath and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city: |
| 33:6 |
Behold I will bring it health and cure and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth |
| 33:8 |
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities whereby they have sinned against me and whereby they have transgressed against me |
| 33:9 |
And itthis city shall be to me for a name of joy for a praise and anfor honoura glory before all the nations of the earth which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodnessgood and for all the prosperitypeace that I procure unto it |
| 33:10 |
Thus saith theJehovah: Lord;Yet Againagain there shall be heard in this place whichwhereof ye say shallIt beis desolatewaste without man and without beast even in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast |
| 33:11 |
Thethe voice of joy and the voice of gladness the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride the voice of them that shall say PraiseGive thethanks Lordto Jehovah of hosts: for theJehovah Lord is good; for his mercylovingkindness endureth for ever:; and of them that shall bring thesacrifices sacrifice of praisethanksgiving into the house of theJehovah Lord For I will cause to return the captivity of the land to return as at the first saith the LordJehovah |
| 33:12 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts;: AgainYet again shall there be in this place which is desolatewaste without man and without beast and in all the cities thereof shalla be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down |
| 33:13 |
In the cities of the mountainshill country in the cities of the valelowland and in the cities of the southSouth and in the land of Benjamin and in the places about Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah shall the flocks again pass again under the hands of him that tellethnumbereth them saith the LordJehovah |
| 33:14 |
Behold the days come saith theJehovah Lord that I will perform that good thingword which I have promisedspoken untoconcerning the house of Israel and toconcerning the house of Judah |
| 33:15 |
In those days and at that time will I cause thea Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgmentjustice and righteousness in the land |
| 33:16 |
In those days shall Judah be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely:; and this is the name wherewithwhereby she shall be called: TheJehovah Lord our righteousness |
| 33:17 |
For thus saith theJehovah: Lord; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; |
| 33:18 |
Neitherneither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings and to kindleburn meatmeal offerings and to do sacrifice continually |
| 33:19 |
And the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jeremiah saying |
| 33:20 |
Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night andso that there shouldshall not be day and night in their season; |
| 33:21 |
Thenthen may also my covenant be broken with David my servant that he shouldshall not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests my ministers |
| 33:22 |
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered neither the sand of the sea measured:; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant and the Levites that minister unto me |
| 33:23 |
MoreoverAnd the word of theJehovah Lord came to Jeremiah saying |
| 33:24 |
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken saying The two families which theJehovah Lorddid hathchoose chosen he hath even cast them off thus do they havedespise despised my people that they should be no more a nation before them |
| 33:25 |
Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; If my covenant beof not with day and night andstand not if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; |
| 33:26 |
Thenthen will I also cast away the seed of Jacob and of David my servant so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return and will have mercy on them |
| 34:1 |
The word which came unto Jeremiah from theJehovah Lord when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms of the earth ofthat were under his dominion and all the peoplepeoples foughtwere fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof saying: |
| 34:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him Thus saith theJehovah Lord; Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall burn it with fire: |
| 34:3 |
Andand thou shalt not escape out of his hand but shalt surely be taken and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth and thou shalt go to Babylon |
| 34:4 |
Yet hear the word of theJehovah Lord O Zedekiah king of Judah;: Thusthus saith theJehovah Lordconcerning of thee Thou shalt not die by the sword:; |
| 34:5 |
But thou shalt die in peace:; and with the burnings of thy fathers the former kings whichthat were before thee so shall they burnmake odoursa burning for thee; and they willshall lament thee saying Ah lordLord for I have pronouncedspoken the word saith the LordJehovah |
| 34:7 |
Whenwhen the king of Babylons army foughtwas fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left against Lachish and against Azekah:; for these defencedalone cities remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities |
| 34:8 |
ThisThe is the word that came unto Jeremiah from theJehovah Lord after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people whichthat were at Jerusalem to proclaim liberty unto them; |
| 34:9 |
Thatthat every man should let his manservantman servant and every man his maidservantmaid beingservant anthat is a Hebrew or ana Hebrewess go free; that none should servemake himselfbondmen of them to wit of a Jew his brother |
| 34:10 |
NowAnd when all the princes and all the people whichobeyed that had entered into the covenant heard that every one should let his manservantman servant and every one his maidservantmaid servant go free that none should servemake themselvesbondmen of them any more; then they obeyed and let them go: |
| 34:11 |
Butbut afterwardafterwards they turned and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids |
| 34:12 |
Therefore the word of theJehovah Lord came to Jeremiah from theJehovah Lordsaying saying |
| 34:13 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel;: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondmenbondage saying |
| 34:14 |
At the end of seven years ye shall let ye go every man his brother anthat is a Hebrew whichthat hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me neither inclined their ear |
| 34:15 |
And ye were now turned and had done that which is right in mymine sighteyes in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbourneighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: |
| 34:16 |
Butbut ye turned and pollutedprofaned my name and caused every man his servant and every man his handmaid whom heye had setlet atgo libertyfree at their pleasure to return; and ye brought them into subjection to be unto you for servants and for handmaids |
| 34:17 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me into proclaimingproclaim liberty every oneman to his brother and every man to his neighbourneighbor: behold I proclaim unto you a liberty for you saith theJehovah Lord to the sword to the pestilence and to the famine; and I will make you to be removedtossed intoto and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth |
| 34:18 |
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant whichthat have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof; |
| 34:19 |
Thethe princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem the eunuchs and the priests and all the people of the land whichthat passed between the parts of the calf; |
| 34:20 |
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life:; and their dead bodies shall be for meatfood unto the fowlsbirds of the heavenheavens and to the beasts of the earth |
| 34:21 |
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life and into the hand of the king of Babylons army whichthat are gone upaway from you |
| 34:22 |
Behold I will command saith theJehovah Lord and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it and take it and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant |
| 35:1 |
The word which came unto Jeremiah from theJehovah Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah saying |
| 35:2 |
Go unto the house of the Rechabites and speak unto them and bring them into the house of theJehovah Lord into one of the chambers and give them wine to drink |
| 35:3 |
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah the son of HabaziniahHabazziniah and his brethren and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites; |
| 35:4 |
Andand I brought them into the house of theJehovah Lord into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah athe man of God which was by the chamber of the princes which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum the keeper of the door:threshold |
| 35:5 |
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites potsbowls full of wine and cups; and I said unto them Drink ye wine |
| 35:6 |
But they said We will drink no wine:; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us saying Ye shall drink no wine neither ye nor your sons for ever: |
| 35:7 |
Neitherneither shall ye build house nor sow seed nor plant vineyard nor have any:; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land wherewherein ye besojourn strangers |
| 35:8 |
ThusAnd we have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us to drink no wine all our days we our wives our sons noror our daughters; |
| 35:9 |
Nornor to build houses for us to dwell in:; neither have we vineyard nor field nor seed: |
| 35:10 |
Butbut we have dwelt in tents and have obeyed and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us |
| 35:11 |
But it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land that we said Come and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans and for fear of the army of the Syrians:; so we dwell at Jerusalem |
| 35:12 |
Then came the word of theJehovah Lord unto Jeremiah saying |
| 35:13 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Go and tellsay to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words saith theJehovah Lord |
| 35:14 |
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons not to drink wine are performed; forand unto this day they drink none butfor they obey their fathers commandment: notwithstandingBut I have spoken unto you rising up early and speaking; butand ye hearkenedhave not hearkened unto me |
| 35:16 |
BecauseForasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:; |
| 35:17 |
Thereforetherefore thus saith Jehovah the Lord God of hosts the God of Israel;: Behold I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them:; because I have spoken unto them but they have not heard; and I have called unto them but they have not answered |
| 35:18 |
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father and kept all his precepts and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:; |
| 35:19 |
Thereforetherefore thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever |
| 36:1 |
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah that this word came unto Jeremiah from theJehovah Lordsaying saying |
| 36:4 |
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah:; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of theJehovah Lord which he had spoken unto him upon a roll of a book |
| 36:5 |
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch saying I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of theJehovah: Lord: |
| 36:6 |
Thereforetherefore go thou and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth the words of theJehovah Lord in the ears of the people in theJehovahs Lords house upon the fastingfast day:; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities |
| 36:7 |
It may be they will present their supplication before theJehovah Lord and will return every one from his evil way:; for great is the anger and the furywrath that theJehovah Lord hath pronounced against this people |
| 36:8 |
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him reading in the book the words of theJehovah Lord in theJehovahs Lords house |
| 36:9 |
AndNow it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before Jehovah |
| 36:10 |
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of theJehovah Lord in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe in the higherupper court at the entry of the new gate of theJehovahs Lords house in the ears of all the people |
| 36:11 |
WhenAnd Michaiahwhen Micaiah the son of Gemariah the son of Shaphan had heard out of the book all the words of theJehovah Lord |
| 36:12 |
Then he went down into the kings house into the scribes chamber: and lo all the princes satwere sitting there evento 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 princes |
| 36:13 |
Then MichaiahMicaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people |
| 36:14 |
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah the son of Shelemiah the son of Cushi unto Baruch saying Take in thinethy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people and come So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand and came unto them |
| 36:16 |
Now it came to pass when they had heard all the words they wereturned afraidin bothfear one andtoward otheranother and said unto Baruch We will surely tell the king of all these words |
| 36:19 |
Then said the princes unto Baruch Go hide thee thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye beare |
| 36:20 |
And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king |
| 36:21 |
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll:; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribesscribe chamber And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king and in the ears of all the princes whichthat stood beside the king |
| 36:22 |
Now the king satwas sitting in the winterhousewinter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire onin the hearthbrazier burning before him |
| 36:23 |
And it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves hethat the king cut it with the penknife and cast it into the fire that was onin the hearthbrazier until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was onin the hearthbrazier |
| 36:24 |
YetAnd they were not afraid nor rent their garments neither the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words |
| 36:25 |
NeverthelessMoreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll:; but he would not hear them |
| 36:26 |
ButAnd the king commanded Jerahmeel the kings son of Hammelech and Seraiah the son of Azriel and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet:; but theJehovah Lord hid them |
| 36:27 |
Then the word of theJehovah Lord came to Jeremiah after that the king had burned the roll and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah saying |
| 36:29 |
And thouconcerning shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say Thus saith theJehovah: Lord; Thou hast burned this roll saying Why hast thou written therein saying The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast |
| 36:30 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lordconcerning of Jehoiakim king of Judah;: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David:; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat and in the night to the frost |
| 36:31 |
And I will punish him and his seed 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 hearkened not |
| 36:32 |
Then took Jeremiah another roll and gave it to Baruch the scribe the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire:; and there were added besides unto them many like words |
| 37:1 |
And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah |
| 37:2 |
But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land did hearken unto the words of theJehovah Lord which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah |
| 37:3 |
And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah saying Pray now unto theJehovah Lord our God for us |
| 37:4 |
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people:; for they had not put him into prison |
| 37:5 |
ThenAnd Pharaohs army was come forth out of Egypt:; and when the Chaldeans that besiegedwere besieging Jerusalem heard tidings of them they departedbrake up from Jerusalem |
| 37:6 |
Then came the word of theJehovah Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah saying |
| 37:7 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah that sent you unto me to enquireinquire of me;: Behold Pharaohs army which is come forth to help you shall return to Egypt into their own land |
| 37:8 |
And the Chaldeans shall come again and fight against this city; and they shall take it and burn it with fire |
| 37:9 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord; Deceive not yourselves saying The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us:; for they shall not depart |
| 37:10 |
For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you and there remained but wounded men among them yet shouldwould they rise up every man in his tent and burn this city with fire |
| 37:12 |
Thenthen Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to separatereceive himselfhis thenceportion there in the midst of the people |
| 37:13 |
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin a captain of the ward was there whose name was Irijah the son of Shelemiah the son of Hananiah; and he tooklaid hold on Jeremiah the prophet saying Thou fallestart falling away to the Chaldeans |
| 37:14 |
Then said Jeremiah It is false; I fallam not falling away to the Chaldeans But he hearkened not to him:; so Irijah tooklaid hold on Jeremiah and brought him to the princes |
| 37:15 |
WhereforeAnd the princes were wroth with Jeremiah and smote him and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe:; for they had made that the prison |
| 37:16 |
When Jeremiah was enteredcome into the dungeon house and into the cabinscells and Jeremiah had remained there many days; |
| 37:17 |
Thenthen Zedekiah the king sent and tookfetched him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house and said Is there any word from theJehovah Lord And Jeremiah said There is: forHe said healso thouThou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon |
| 37:18 |
Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah WhatWherein have I offendedsinned against thee or against thy servants or against this people that ye have put me in prison |
| 37:19 |
Where now are now your prophets whichthat prophesied unto you saying The king of Babylon shall not come against you nor against this land |
| 37:20 |
ThereforeAnd now hear now I pray thee O my lord the king: let my supplication I pray thee be acceptedpresented before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe lest I die there |
| 37:21 |
Then Zedekiah the king commanded thatand they shouldcommitted commit Jeremiah into the court of the prisonguard; and that they shouldgave give him daily a pieceloaf of bread out of the bakers street until all the bread in the city werewas spent Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prisonguard |
| 38:1 |
ThenAnd Shephatiah the son of Mattan and Gedaliah the son of PashurPashhur and Jucal the son of Shelemiah and PashurPashhur the son of MalchiahMalchijah heard the words that Jeremiah hadspake spoken unto all the people saying |
| 38:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord He that remainethabideth in this city shall die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence:; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; forand hehis life shall havebe hisunto lifehim for a prey and he shall live |
| 38:3 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of BabylonsBabylon armyand whichhe shall take it |
| 38:4 |
ThereforeThen the princes said unto the king WeLet beseechthis theeman letwe thispray manthee be put to death:; forforasmuch thusas he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city and the hands of all the people in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people but the hurt |
| 38:5 |
ThenAnd Zedekiah the king said Behold he is in your hand:; for the king is not he that can do anyanything thing against you |
| 38:6 |
Then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of MalchiahMalchijah the kings son of Hammelech that was in the court of the prisonguard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords And in the dungeon there was no water but mire:; soand Jeremiah sunksank in the mire |
| 38:7 |
Now when EbedmelechEbed melech the Ethiopian onea ofeunuch thewho eunuchs which was in the kings house heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin; |
| 38:8 |
EbedmelechEbed melech went forth out of the kings house and spake to the king saying |
| 38:9 |
My lord the king these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city |
| 38:10 |
Then the king commanded EbedmelechEbed melech the Ethiopian saying Take from hence thirty men with thee and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he die |
| 38:11 |
So EbedmelechEbed melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury and took thence oldrags cast clouts and oldworn rottenout ragsgarments and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah |
| 38:12 |
And EbedmelechEbed melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah Put now these oldrags castand cloutsworn andout rottengarments rags under thine armholes under the cords And Jeremiah did so |
| 38:13 |
So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prisonguard |
| 38:14 |
Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LordJehovah: and the king said unto Jeremiah I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me |
| 38:15 |
Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah If I declare it unto thee wilt thou not surely put me to death and if I give thee counsel thou wilt thou not hearken unto me |
| 38:16 |
So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah saying As theJehovah Lord liveth that made us this soul I will not put thee to death neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life |
| 38:17 |
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of hosts the God of Israel;: If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylons princes then thy soul shall live and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live and thinethy house: |
| 38:19 |
And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans lest they deliver me into their hand and they mock me |
| 38:20 |
But Jeremiah said They shall not deliver thee Obey I beseech thee the voice of theJehovah Lordin that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well untowith thee and thy soul shall live |
| 38:21 |
But if thou refuse to go forth this is the word that theJehovah Lord hath shewedshowed me: |
| 38:22 |
AndBehold behold all the women that are left in the king of Judahs house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylons princes and those women shall say Thy familiar friends have set thee on and have prevailed againstover thee: now that thy feet are sunk in the mire and they are turned away back |
| 38:23 |
SoAnd they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans:; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire |
| 38:25 |
But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee and they come unto thee and say unto thee Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee: |
| 38:26 |
Thenthen thou shalt say unto them I presented my supplication before the king that he would not cause me to return to Jonathans house to die there |
| 38:27 |
Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah and asked him:; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived |
| 38:28 |
So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prisonguard until the day that Jerusalem was taken: andAnd heit wascame thereto pass when Jerusalem was taken |
| 39:1 |
Inin the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah in the tenth month came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem and they besieged it; |
| 39:2 |
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah in the fourth month the ninth day of the month thea citybreach was brokenmade upin the city |
| 39:3 |
Andthat all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the middle gate evento Nergalsharezerwit SamgarneboNergal sharezer Samgar nebo Sarsechim RabsarisRab Nergalsharezersaris RabmagNergal sharezer Rab mag with all the residuerest of the princes of the king of Babylon |
| 39:4 |
And it came to pass that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them and all the men of war saw them then they fled and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the kings garden bythrough the gate betwixt the two walls:; and he went out toward the wayArabah of the plain |
| 39:5 |
But the army of the Chaldeans army pursued after them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him they brought him up to NebuchadnezzarNebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; whereand he gave judgment upon him |
| 39:7 |
Moreover he put out Zedekiahs eyes and bound him within chainsfetters to carry him to Babylon |
| 39:9 |
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnantresidue of the people that remained in the city andthe thosedeserters also that fell away that fell to him withand the restresidue of the people that remained |
| 39:10 |
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people whichthat had nothing in the land of Judah and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time |
| 39:13 |
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent and NebushasbanNebushazban RabsarisRab saris and NergalsharezerNergal Rabmagsharezer Rab mag and all the chief officers of the king of BabylonsBabylon; princes; |
| 39:14 |
Even they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prisonguard and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan that he should carry him home: soSo he dwelt among the people |
| 39:15 |
Now the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prisonguard saying |
| 39:16 |
Go and speak to EbedmelechEbed melech the Ethiopian saying Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Behold I will bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day before thee |
| 39:17 |
But I will deliver thee in that day saith theJehovah; Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid |
| 39:18 |
For I will surely deliversave thee and thou shalt not fall by the sword but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee:; because thou hast put thy trust in me saith the LordJehovah |
| 40:1 |
The word thatwhich came to Jeremiah from theJehovah Lord after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah when he had taken him being bound in chains among all thatthe werecaptives carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah whichthat were carried away captive unto Babylon |
| 40:2 |
And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said unto him TheJehovah Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place; |
| 40:3 |
Nowand theJehovah Lord hath brought it and done according as he hath saidspake: because ye have sinned against theJehovah Lord and have not obeyed his voice therefore this thing is come upon you |
| 40:4 |
And now behold I loose thee this day from the chains which wereare upon thinethy hand If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon come; and I will look well unto thee:; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon forbear: behold all the land is before thee:; whither it seemeth good and convenientright forunto thee to go thither go |
| 40:5 |
Now while he was not yet gone back he said Go back alsothen said he to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah and dwell with him among the people:; or go wheresoever it seemeth convenientright unto thee to go So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a rewardpresent and let him go |
| 40:6 |
Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land |
| 40:7 |
Now when all the captains of the forces whichthat were in the fields even they and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land and had committed unto him men and women and children and of the poorpoorest of the land of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon; |
| 40:8 |
Thenthen they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah evento wit 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 athe MaachathiteMaacathite they and their men |
| 40:10 |
As for me behold I will dwell at Mizpah to servestand before the Chaldeans whichthat willshall come unto us: but ye gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil and put them in your vessels and dwell in your cities that ye have taken |
| 40:11 |
Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab and among the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon and in Edom and that were in all the countries heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; |
| 40:12 |
Eventhen all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven and came to the land of Judah to Gedaliah unto Mizpah and gathered wine and summer fruits very much |
| 40:14 |
Andand said unto him Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slaytake theethy life But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not |
| 40:15 |
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly saying Let me go I pray thee and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slaytake theethy life that all the Jews whichthat are gathered unto thee should be scattered and the remnant inof Judah perish |
| 40:16 |
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah Thou shalt not do this thing:; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael |
| 41:1 |
Now it came to pass in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama of the seed royal and one of the princeschief officers of the king evenand ten men with him came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah |
| 41:3 |
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him evento wit with Gedaliah at Mizpah and the Chaldeans that were found there and the men of war |
| 41:5 |
Thatthat there came certainmen from Shechem from Shiloh and from Samaria even fourscore men having their beards shaven and their clothes rent and having cut themselves with meal offerings and incensefrankincense in their hand to bring them to the house of theJehovah Lord |
| 41:8 |
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael Slay us not:; for we have treasuresstores hidden in the field of wheat and of barley and of oil and of honey So he forbare and slew them not among their brethren |
| 41:9 |
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain becauseby the side of Gedaliah the same was itthat which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain |
| 41:10 |
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah even the kings daughters and all the people that remained in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam:; and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive and departed to go over to the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon |
| 41:12 |
Thenthen they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon |
| 41:13 |
Now it came to pass that when all the people whichthat were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him then they were glad |
| 41:14 |
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah castturned about and returnedcame back and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah |
| 41:15 |
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammoniteschildren of Ammon |
| 41:16 |
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah from Mizpah after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam evento mightywit the men of war and the women and the children and the eunuchs whom he had brought againback from Gibeon: |
| 41:17 |
And they departed and dwelt in theGeruth habitation of Chimham which is by BethlehemBeth lehem to go to enter into Egypt |
| 41:18 |
Becausebecause of the Chaldeans:; for they were afraid of them because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam whom the king of Babylon made governor inover the land |
| 42:2 |
Andand said unto Jeremiah the prophet Let we beseechpray thee our supplication be acceptedpresented before thee and pray for us unto theJehovah Lord thy God even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many as thine eyes do behold us: |
| 42:3 |
Thatthat theJehovah Lord thy God may shewshow us the way wherein we mayshould walk and the thing that we mayshould do |
| 42:4 |
Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them I have heard you; behold I will pray unto theJehovah Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing theJehovah Lord shall answer you I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you |
| 42:5 |
Then they said to Jeremiah TheJehovah Lord be a true and faithful witness betweenamongst us if we do not even according to all things for the whichword thewherewith LordJehovah thy God shall send thee to us |
| 42:6 |
Whether it be good or whether it be evil we will obey the voice of theJehovah Lord our God to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of theJehovah Lord our God |
| 42:7 |
And it came to pass after ten days that the word of theJehovah Lord came unto Jeremiah |
| 42:8 |
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces whichthat were with him and all the people from the least even to the greatest |
| 42:9 |
Andand said unto them Thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of Israel unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;: |
| 42:10 |
If ye will still abide in this land then will I build you and not pull you down and I will plant you and not pluck you up:; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you |
| 42:11 |
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him saith the LordJehovah: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand |
| 42:12 |
And I will shewgrant merciesyou untomercy you that he may have mercy upon you and cause you to return to your own land |
| 42:13 |
But if ye say We will not dwell in this land; neitherso that ye obey not the voice of theJehovah Lord your God |
| 42:14 |
Sayingsaying No; but we will go into the land of Egypt where we shall see no war nor hear the sound of the trumpet nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell: |
| 42:15 |
And now therefore hear ye the word of theJehovah LordO ye remnant of Judah;: Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel; If ye whollyindeed set your faces to enter into Egypt and go to sojourn there; |
| 42:16 |
Thenthen it shall come to pass that the sword which ye fearedfear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine whereof ye wereare afraid shall follow closehard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die |
| 42:17 |
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there;: they shall die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence:; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them |
| 42:18 |
For thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: As mine anger and my furywrath hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my furywrath be poured forth upon you when ye shall enter into Egypt:; and ye shall be an execration and an astonishment and a curse and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more |
| 42:19 |
TheJehovah Lord hath saidspoken concerning you O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonishedtestified unto you this day |
| 42:20 |
For ye dissembledhave indealt deceitfully against your heartsown whensouls; for ye sent me unto theJehovah Lord your God saying Pray for us unto theJehovah Lord our God; and according unto all that theJehovah Lord our God shall say so declare unto us and we will do it |
| 42:21 |
And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of theJehovah Lord your God norin anyanything thing for the which he hath sent me unto you |
| 42:22 |
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn there |
| 43:1 |
And it came to pass that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of theJehovah Lord their God forwherewith whichJehovah the Lord their God had sent him to them even all these words |
| 43:2 |
Thenthen spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah and Johanan the son of Kareah and all the proud men saying unto Jeremiah Thou speakest falsely: theJehovah Lord our God hath not sent thee to say GoYe shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there:; |
| 43:3 |
Butbut Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans that they mightmay put us to death and carry us away captivescaptive intoto Babylon |
| 43:4 |
So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces and all the people obeyed not the voice of theJehovah Lord to dwell in the land of Judah |
| 43:5 |
But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to dwellsojourn in the land of Judah; |
| 43:6 |
Eventhe men and the women and the children and the kings daughters and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah |
| 43:7 |
SoAnd they came into the land of Egypt:; for they obeyed not the voice of the LordJehovah: thusand came they evencame tounto Tahpanhes |
| 43:8 |
Then came the word of theJehovah Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes saying |
| 43:9 |
Take great stones in thinethy hand and hide them in themortar clay in the brickkilnbrickwork which is at the entry of Pharaohs house in Tahpanhes in the sight of the men of Judah; |
| 43:10 |
Andand say unto them Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Behold I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon my servant and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them |
| 43:11 |
And when he comethshall hecome and shall smite the land of Egypt; and deliver such as are for death shall be given to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword |
| 43:12 |
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them and carry them away captivescaptive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace |
| 43:13 |
He shall also break also the imagespillars of BethshemeshBeth shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of theEgypt Egyptians shall he burn with fire |
| 44:1 |
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews whichthat dwelldwelt in the land of Egypt whichthat dwelldwelt at Migdol and at Tahpanhes and at NophMemphis and in the country of Pathros saying |
| 44:2 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah; and behold this day they are a desolation and no man dwelleth therein |
| 44:3 |
Becausebecause of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger in that they went to burn incense and to serve other gods whomthat they knew not neither they nor ye nor your fathers |
| 44:4 |
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets rising up early and sending them saying Oh do not this abominable thing that I hate |
| 44:6 |
Wherefore my furywrath and mine anger was poured forth and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate as atit is this day |
| 44:7 |
Therefore now thus saith theJehovah Lord the God of hosts the God of Israel;: Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your own souls to cut off from you man and woman childinfant and suckling out of the midst of Judah to leave you none toremaining; remain; |
| 44:8 |
Inin that ye provoke me unto wrathanger with the works of your hands burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt whither ye beare gone to dwellsojourn; that ye mightmay be cut yourselves off and that ye mightmay be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth |
| 44:9 |
Have ye 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 have committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem |
| 44:11 |
Therefore thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel;: Behold I will set my face against you for evil andeven to cut off all Judah |
| 44:12 |
And I will take the remnant of Judah that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there and they shall all be consumed; and fall in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine:; they shall die from the least even unto the greatest by the sword and by the famine:; and they shall be an execration and an astonishment and a curse and a reproach |
| 44:13 |
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt as I have punished Jerusalem by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence:; |
| 44:14 |
Soso that none of the remnant of Judah whichthat are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there shall escape or remainbe thatleft theyto should return into the land of Judah to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return butsave such as shall escape |
| 44:15 |
Then all the men whichwho knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods and all the women that stood by a great multitudeassembly even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Pathros answered Jeremiah saying |
| 44:16 |
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of theJehovah Lord we will not hearken unto thee |
| 44:17 |
But we will certainly doperform whatsoeverevery thingword goeththat is gone forth out of our own mouth to burn incense unto the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto her as we have done we and our fathers our kings and our princes in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem:; for then had we plenty of victuals and were well and saw no evil |
| 44:18 |
But since we left off toburning burn incense to the queen of heaven and topouring pour out drink offerings unto her we have wanted all things and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine |
| 44:19 |
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings unto her did we make her cakes to worship her and pour out drink offerings unto her without our menhusbands |
| 44:20 |
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people to the men and to the women andeven to all the people whichthat had given him that answer saying |
| 44:21 |
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land did not theJehovah Lord remember them and came it not into his mind |
| 44:22 |
Soso that theJehovah Lord could nonot longer bear because of the evil of your doings and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation and an astonishment and a curse without an inhabitant as atit is this day |
| 44:23 |
Because ye have burned incense and because ye have sinned against theJehovah Lord and have not obeyed the voice of theJehovah Lord nor walked in his law nor in his statutes nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you as atit is this day |
| 44:24 |
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people and to all the women Hear the word of theJehovah Lord all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: |
| 44:25 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord of hosts the God of Israel saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your handhands have fulfilled it saying We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed to burn incense to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto her: yeestablish willthen surely accomplish your vows and surely perform your vows |
| 44:26 |
Therefore hear ye the word of theJehovah Lord all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt;: Behold I have sworn by my great name saith theJehovah Lord that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt saying TheAs the Lord GodJehovah liveth |
| 44:27 |
Behold I will watch over them for evil and not for good:; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine until there be an end of them |
| 44:28 |
YetAnd athey small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah few in number; and all the remnant of Judah that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there shall know whose wordsword shall stand mine or theirs |
| 44:29 |
And this shall be athe sign unto you saith theJehovah Lord that I will punish you in this place that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil: |
| 44:30 |
Thus saith theJehovah Lord; Behold I will give PharaohhophraPharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon who was his enemy and that sought his life |
| 45:1 |
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah when he hadwrote written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah saying |
