Jeremiah: Chapter 1

¹The words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414 the son^H1121 of Hilkiah^H2518, of the priests^H3548 that were in Anathoth^H6068 in the land^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144: ²To whom the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came in the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977 the son^H1121 of Amon^H0526 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the thirteenth^H7969 year^H8141 of his reign^H4427. ³It came also in the days^H3117 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, unto the end^H8552 of the eleventh^H6249 year^H8141 of Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, unto the carrying away^H1540 of Jerusalem^H3389 captive^H1540 in the fifth^H2549 month^H2320.

⁴Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H0559, ⁵Before^H2962 I formed^H3335 thee in the belly^H0990 I knew^H3045 thee; and before thou camest forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358 I sanctified^H6942 thee, and I ordained^H5414 thee a prophet^H5030 unto the nations^H1471. ⁶Then said^H0559 I, Ah^H0162, Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069! behold, I cannot^H3045 speak^H1696: for I am a child^H5288.

⁷But the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, Say^H0559 not, I am a child^H5288: for thou shalt go^H3212 to all that I shall send^H7971 thee, and whatsoever I command^H6680 thee thou shalt speak^H1696. ⁸Be not afraid^H3372 of their faces^H6440: for I am with thee to deliver^H5337 thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁹Then the LORD^H3068 put forth^H7971 his hand^H3027, and touched^H5060 my mouth^H6310. And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, Behold, I have put^H5414 my words^H1697 in thy mouth^H6310. ¹⁰See^H7200, I have this day^H3117 set^H6485 thee over the nations^H1471 and over the kingdoms^H4467, to root out^H5428, and to pull down^H5422, and to destroy^H0006, and to throw down^H2040, to build^H1129, and to plant^H5193.

¹¹Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H0559, Jeremiah^H3414, what seest^H7200 thou? And I said^H0559, I see^H7200 a rod^H4731 of an almond tree^H8247. ¹²Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Thou hast well^H3190 seen^H7200: for I will hasten^H8245 my word^H1697 to perform^H6213 it. ¹³And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me the second time^H8145, saying^H0559, What seest^H7200 thou? And I said^H0559, I see^H7200 a seething^H5301 pot^H5518; and the face^H6440 thereof is toward^H6440 the north^H6828. ¹⁴Then the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, Out of the north^H6828 an evil^H7451 shall break forth^H6605 upon all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H0776. ¹⁵For, lo, I will call^H7121 all the families^H4940 of the kingdoms^H4467 of the north^H6828, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and they shall come^H0935, and they shall set^H5414 every one^H0376 his throne^H3678 at the entering^H6607 of the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389, and against all the walls^H2346 thereof round about^H5439, and against all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063. ¹⁶And I will utter^H1696 my judgments^H4941 against them touching^H5921 all their wickedness^H7451, who have forsaken^H5800 me, and have burned incense^H6999 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430, and worshipped^H7812 the works^H4639 of their own hands^H3027.

¹⁷Thou therefore gird up^H0247 thy loins^H4975, and arise^H6965, and speak^H1696 unto them all that I command^H6680 thee: be not dismayed^H2865 at their faces^H6440, lest I confound^H2865 thee before^H6440 them. ¹⁸For, behold, I^H0589 have made^H5414 thee this day^H3117 a defenced^H4013 city^H5892, and an iron^H1270 pillar^H5982, and brasen^H5178 walls^H2346 against the whole land^H0776, against the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, against the princes^H8269 thereof, against the priests^H3548 thereof, and against the people^H5971 of the land^H0776. ¹⁹And they shall fight^H3898 against thee; but they shall not prevail^H3201 against thee; for I am with thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, to deliver^H5337 thee.

Jeremiah: Chapter 2

¹Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to me, saying^H0559, ²Go^H1980 and cry^H7121 in the ears^H0241 of Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; I remember^H2142 thee, the kindness^H2617 of thy youth^H5271, the love^H0160 of thine espousals^H3623, when thou wentest^H3212 after^H0310 me in the wilderness^H4057, in a land^H0776 that was not sown^H2232. ³ Israel^H3478 was holiness^H6944 unto the LORD^H3068, and the firstfruits^H7225 of his increase^H8393: all that devour^H0398 him shall offend^H0816; evil^H7451 shall come^H0935 upon them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290, and all the families^H4940 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478:

⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, What iniquity^H5766 have your fathers^H0001 found^H4672 in me, that they are gone far^H7368 from me, and have walked^H3212 after^H0310 vanity^H1892, and are become vain^H1891? ⁶Neither said^H0559 they, Where is the LORD^H3068 that brought us up^H5927 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, that led^H3212 us through the wilderness^H4057, through a land^H0776 of deserts^H6160 and of pits^H7745, through a land^H0776 of drought^H6723, and of the shadow of death^H6757, through a land^H0776 that no man^H0376 passed through^H5674, and where no man^H0120 dwelt^H3427? ⁷And I brought^H0935 you into a plentiful^H3759 country^H0776, to eat^H0398 the fruit^H6529 thereof and the goodness^H2898 thereof; but when ye entered^H0935, ye defiled^H2930 my land^H0776, and made^H7760 mine heritage^H5159 an abomination^H8441. ⁸The priests^H3548 said^H0559 not, Where is the LORD^H3068? and they that handle^H8610 the law^H8451 knew^H3045 me not: the pastors^H7462 also transgressed^H6586 against me, and the prophets^H5030 prophesied^H5012 by Baal^H1168, and walked^H1980 after^H0310 things that do not profit^H3276.

⁹Wherefore I will yet plead^H7378 with you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and with your childrens^H1121 children^H1121 will I plead^H7378. ¹⁰For pass over^H5674 the isles^H0339 of Chittim^H3794, and see^H7200; and send^H7971 unto Kedar^H6938, and consider^H0995 diligently^H3966, and see^H7200 if there be such a thing. ¹¹Hath a nation^H1471 changed^H3235 their gods^H0430, which are yet no gods^H0430? but my people^H5971 have changed^H4171 their glory^H3519 for that which doth not profit^H3276. ¹²Be astonished^H8074, O ye heavens^H8064, at this, and be horribly afraid^H8175, be ye very^H3966 desolate^H2717, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹³For my people^H5971 have committed^H6213 two^H8147 evils^H7451; they have forsaken^H5800 me the fountain^H4726 of living^H2416 waters^H4325, and hewed them out^H2672 cisterns^H0877, broken^H7665 cisterns^H0877, that can hold^H3557 no water^H4325.

¹⁴ Is Israel^H3478 a servant^H5650? is he a homeborn^H1004 slave ? why^H4069 is he spoiled^H0957? ¹⁵The young lions^H3715 roared^H7580 upon him, and yelled^H5414, and they made^H7896 his land^H0776 waste^H8047: his cities^H5892 are burned^H3341 without inhabitant^H3427. ¹⁶Also the children^H1121 of Noph^H5297 and Tahapanes^H8471 have broken^H7462 the crown of thy head^H6936. ¹⁷Hast thou not procured^H6213 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken^H5800 the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430, when^H6256 he led^H3212 thee by the way^H1870? ¹⁸And now what hast thou to do in the way^H1870 of Egypt^H4714, to drink^H8354 the waters^H4325 of Sihor^H7883? or what hast thou to do in the way^H1870 of Assyria^H0804, to drink^H8354 the waters^H4325 of the river^H5104? ¹⁹Thine own wickedness^H7451 shall correct^H3256 thee, and thy backslidings^H4878 shall reprove^H3198 thee: know^H3045 therefore and see^H7200 that it is an evil^H7451 thing and bitter^H4751, that thou hast forsaken^H5800 the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430, and that my fear^H6345 is not in thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635.

²⁰For of old time^H5769 I have broken^H7665 thy yoke^H5923, and burst^H5423 thy bands^H4147; and thou saidst^H0559, I will not transgress^H5674; when upon every high^H1364 hill^H1389 and under every green^H7488 tree^H6086 thou wanderest^H6808, playing the harlot^H2181. ²¹Yet I had planted^H5193 thee a noble vine^H8321, wholly a right^H0571 seed^H2233: how then art thou turned^H2015 into the degenerate plant^H5494 of a strange^H5237 vine^H1612 unto me? ²²For though thou wash^H3526 thee with nitre^H5427, and take thee much^H7235 soap^H1287, yet thine iniquity^H5771 is marked^H3799 before^H6440 me, saith^H5002 the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069. ²³How canst thou say^H0559, I am not polluted^H2930, I have not gone^H1980 after^H0310 Baalim^H1168? see^H7200 thy way^H1870 in the valley^H1516, know^H3045 what thou hast done^H6213: thou art a swift^H7031 dromedary^H1072 traversing^H8308 her ways^H1870; ²⁴A wild ass^H6501 used^H3928 to the wilderness^H4057, that snuffeth up^H7602 the wind^H7307 at her pleasure^H0185; in her occasion^H8385 who can turn her away^H7725? all they that seek^H1245 her will not weary^H3286 themselves; in her month^H2320 they shall find^H4672 her. ²⁵Withhold^H4513 thy foot^H7272 from being unshod^H3182, and thy throat^H1627 from thirst^H6773: but thou saidst^H0559, There is no hope^H2976: no; for I have loved^H0157 strangers^H2114, and after^H0310 them will I go^H3212. ²⁶As the thief^H1590 is ashamed^H1322 when he is found^H4672, so is the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 ashamed^H3001; they, their kings^H4428, their princes^H8269, and their priests^H3548, and their prophets^H5030, ²⁷Saying^H0559 to a stock^H6086, Thou art my father^H0001; and to a stone^H0068, Thou hast brought me forth^H3205: for they have turned^H6437 their back^H6203 unto me, and not their face^H6440: but in the time^H6256 of their trouble^H7451 they will say^H0559, Arise^H6965, and save^H3467 us. ²⁸But where are thy gods^H0430 that thou hast made^H6213 thee? let them arise^H6965, if they can save^H3467 thee in the time^H6256 of thy trouble^H7451: for according to the number^H4557 of thy cities^H5892 are thy gods^H0430, O Judah^H3063.

²⁹Wherefore will ye plead^H7378 with me? ye all have transgressed^H6586 against me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³⁰In vain^H7723 have I smitten^H5221 your children^H1121; they received^H3947 no correction^H4148: your own sword^H2719 hath devoured^H0398 your prophets^H5030, like a destroying^H7843 lion^H0738.

³¹O generation^H1755, see^H7200 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068. Have I been a wilderness^H4057 unto Israel^H3478? a land^H0776 of darkness^H3991? wherefore say^H0559 my people^H5971, We are lords^H7300; we will come^H0935 no more unto thee? ³²Can a maid^H1330 forget^H7911 her ornaments^H5716, or a bride^H3618 her attire^H7196? yet my people^H5971 have forgotten^H7911 me days^H3117 without number^H4557. ³³Why trimmest^H3190 thou thy way^H1870 to seek^H1245 love^H0160? therefore hast thou also taught^H3925 the wicked ones^H7451 thy ways^H1870. ³⁴Also in thy skirts^H3671 is found^H4672 the blood^H1818 of the souls^H5315 of the poor^H0034 innocents^H5355: I have not found^H4672 it by secret search^H4290, but upon all these. ³⁵Yet thou sayest^H0559, Because I am innocent^H5352, surely his anger^H0639 shall turn^H7725 from me. Behold, I will plead^H8199 with thee, because thou sayest^H0559, I have not sinned^H2398. ³⁶Why gaddest thou about^H0235 so much^H3966 to change^H8138 thy way^H1870? thou also shalt be ashamed^H0954 of Egypt^H4714, as thou wast ashamed^H0954 of Assyria^H0804. ³⁷Yea, thou shalt go forth^H3318 from him, and thine hands^H3027 upon thine head^H7218: for the LORD^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 thy confidences^H4009, and thou shalt not prosper^H6743 in them.

Jeremiah: Chapter 3

¹They say^H0559, If a man^H0376 put away^H7971 his wife^H0802, and she go^H1980 from him, and become another^H0312 mans^H0376, shall he return unto her again^H7725? shall not that land^H0776 be greatly^H2610 polluted^H2610? but thou hast played the harlot^H2181 with many^H7227 lovers^H7453; yet return again^H7725 to me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²Lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 unto the high places^H8205, and see^H7200 where^H0375 thou hast not been lien^H7693 with. In the ways^H1870 hast thou sat^H3427 for them, as the Arabian^H6163 in the wilderness^H4057; and thou hast polluted^H2610 the land^H0776 with thy whoredoms^H2184 and with thy wickedness^H7451. ³Therefore the showers^H7241 have been withholden^H4513, and there hath been no latter rain^H4456; and thou hadst a whores^H2181 forehead^H4696, thou refusedst^H3985 to be ashamed^H3637. ⁴Wilt thou not from this time cry^H7121 unto me, My father^H0001, thou art the guide^H0441 of my youth^H5271? ⁵Will he reserve^H5201 his anger for ever^H5769? will he keep^H8104 it to the end^H5331? Behold, thou hast spoken^H1696 and done^H6213 evil things^H7451 as thou couldest^H3201.

⁶The LORD^H3068 said^H0559 also unto me in the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977 the king^H4428, Hast thou seen^H7200 that which backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath done^H6213? she is gone up^H1980 upon every high^H1364 mountain^H2022 and under^H8478 every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and there hath played the harlot^H2181. ⁷And I said^H0559 after^H0310 she had done^H6213 all these things , Turn^H7725 thou unto me. But she returned^H7725 not. And her treacherous^H0901 sister^H0269 Judah^H3063 saw^H7200 it . ⁸And I saw^H7200, when for all the causes^H0182 whereby backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 committed adultery^H5003 I had put her away^H7971, and given^H5414 her a bill^H5612 of divorce^H3748; yet her treacherous^H0898 sister^H0269 Judah^H3063 feared^H3372 not, but went^H3212 and played the harlot^H2181 also. ⁹And it came to pass through the lightness^H6963 of her whoredom^H2184, that she defiled^H2610 the land^H0776, and committed adultery^H5003 with stones^H0068 and with stocks^H6086. ¹⁰And yet for all this her treacherous^H0901 sister^H0269 Judah^H3063 hath not turned^H7725 unto me with her whole heart^H3820, but feignedly^H8267, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹¹And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, The backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478 hath justified^H6663 herself^H5315 more than treacherous^H0898 Judah^H3063.

¹²Go^H1980 and proclaim^H7121 these words^H1697 toward the north^H6828, and say^H0559, Return^H7725, thou backsliding^H4878 Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and I will not cause mine anger^H6440 to fall^H5307 upon you: for I am merciful^H2623, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and I will not keep^H5201 anger for ever^H5769. ¹³Only acknowledge^H3045 thine iniquity^H5771, that thou hast transgressed^H6586 against the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430, and hast scattered^H6340 thy ways^H1870 to the strangers^H2114 under every green^H7488 tree^H6086, and ye have not obeyed^H8085 my voice^H6963, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁴Turn^H7725, O backsliding^H7726 children^H1121, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; for I am married^H1166 unto you: and I will take^H3947 you one^H0259 of a city^H5892, and two^H8147 of a family^H4940, and I will bring^H0935 you to Zion^H6726: ¹⁵And I will give^H5414 you pastors^H7462 according to mine heart^H3820, which shall feed^H7462 you with knowledge^H1844 and understanding^H7919. ¹⁶And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied^H7235 and increased^H6509 in the land^H0776, in those days^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, they shall say^H0559 no more, The ark^H0727 of the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068: neither shall it come^H5927 to mind^H3820: neither shall they remember^H2142 it; neither shall they visit^H6485 it; neither shall that be done^H6213 any more. ¹⁷At that time^H6256 they shall call^H7121 Jerusalem^H3389 the throne^H3678 of the LORD^H3068; and all the nations^H1471 shall be gathered^H6960 unto it, to the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, to Jerusalem^H3389: neither shall they walk^H3212 any more after^H0310 the imagination^H8307 of their evil^H7451 heart^H3820. ¹⁸In those days^H3117 the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 shall walk^H3212 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, and they shall come^H0935 together^H3162 out of the land^H0776 of the north^H6828 to the land^H0776 that I have given for an inheritance^H5157 unto your fathers^H0001. ¹⁹But I said^H0559, How shall I put^H7896 thee among the children^H1121, and give^H5414 thee a pleasant^H2532 land^H0776, a goodly^H6643 heritage^H5159 of the hosts^H6635 of nations^H1471? and I said^H0559, Thou shalt call^H7121 me, My father^H0001; and shalt not turn away^H7725 from me^H0310.

²⁰Surely^H0403 as a wife^H0802 treacherously^H0898 departeth from her husband^H7453, so have ye dealt treacherously^H0898 with me, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²¹A voice^H6963 was heard^H8085 upon the high places^H8205, weeping^H1065 and supplications^H8469 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478: for they have perverted^H5753 their way^H1870, and they have forgotten^H7911 the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430. ²²Return^H7725, ye backsliding^H7726 children^H1121, and I will heal^H7495 your backslidings^H4878. Behold, we come^H0857 unto thee; for thou art the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430. ²³Truly^H0403 in vain^H8267 is salvation hoped for from the hills^H1389, and from the multitude^H1995 of mountains^H2022: truly^H0403 in the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 is the salvation^H8668 of Israel^H3478. ²⁴For shame^H1322 hath devoured^H0398 the labour^H3018 of our fathers^H0001 from our youth^H5271; their flocks^H6629 and their herds^H1241, their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323. ²⁵We lie down^H7901 in our shame^H1322, and our confusion^H3639 covereth^H3680 us: for we have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430, we and our fathers^H0001, from our youth^H5271 even unto this day^H3117, and have not obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430.

¹If thou wilt return^H7725, O Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, return^H7725 unto me: and if thou wilt put away^H5493 thine abominations^H8251 out of my sight^H6440, then shalt thou not remove^H5110. ²And thou shalt swear^H7650, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, in truth^H0571, in judgment^H4941, and in righteousness^H6666; and the nations^H1471 shall bless^H1288 themselves in him, and in him shall they glory^H1984.

³For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 to the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, Break up^H5214 your fallow ground^H5215, and sow^H2232 not among thorns^H6975. ⁴Circumcise^H4135 yourselves to the LORD^H3068, and take away^H5493 the foreskins^H6190 of your heart^H3824, ye men^H0376 of Judah^H3063 and inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389: lest my fury^H2534 come forth^H3318 like fire^H0784, and burn^H1197 that none can quench^H3518 it , because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611.

⁵Declare^H5046 ye in Judah^H3063, and publish^H8085 in Jerusalem^H3389; and say^H0559, Blow^H8628 ye the trumpet^H7782 in the land^H0776: cry^H7121, gather together^H4390, and say^H0559, Assemble^H0622 yourselves, and let us go^H0935 into the defenced^H4013 cities^H5892. ⁶Set up^H5375 the standard^H5251 toward Zion^H6726: retire^H5756, stay^H5975 not: for I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 from the north^H6828, and a great^H1419 destruction^H7667. ⁷The lion^H0738 is come up^H5927 from his thicket^H5441, and the destroyer^H7843 of the Gentiles^H1471 is on his way^H5265; he is gone forth^H3318 from his place^H4725 to make^H7760 thy land^H0776 desolate^H8047; and thy cities^H5892 shall be laid waste^H5327, without an inhabitant^H3427. ⁸For this gird^H2296 you with sackcloth^H8242, lament^H5594 and howl^H3213: for the fierce^H2740 anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068 is not turned back^H7725 from us. ⁹And it shall come to pass at that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that the heart^H3820 of the king^H4428 shall perish^H0006, and the heart^H3820 of the princes^H8269; and the priests^H3548 shall be astonished^H8074, and the prophets^H5030 shall wonder^H8539. ¹⁰Then said^H0559 I, Ah^H0162, Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069! surely^H0403 thou hast greatly^H5377 deceived^H5377 this people^H5971 and Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, Ye shall have peace^H7965; whereas the sword^H2719 reacheth^H5060 unto the soul^H5315. ¹¹At that time^H6256 shall it be said^H0559 to this people^H5971 and to Jerusalem^H3389, A dry^H6703 wind^H7307 of the high places^H8205 in the wilderness^H4057 toward^H1870 the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971, not to fan^H2219, nor to cleanse^H1305, ¹² Even a full^H4392 wind^H7307 from those places shall come^H0935 unto me: now also will I give^H1696 sentence^H4941 against them. ¹³Behold, he shall come up^H5927 as clouds^H6051, and his chariots^H4818 shall be as a whirlwind^H5492: his horses^H5483 are swifter^H7043 than eagles^H5404. Woe^H0188 unto us! for we are spoiled^H7703. ¹⁴O Jerusalem^H3389, wash^H3526 thine heart^H3820 from wickedness^H7451, that thou mayest be saved^H3467. How long shall thy vain^H0205 thoughts^H4284 lodge^H3885 within^H7130 thee? ¹⁵For a voice^H6963 declareth^H5046 from Dan^H1835, and publisheth^H8085 affliction^H0205 from mount^H2022 Ephraim^H0669. ¹⁶Make ye mention^H2142 to the nations^H1471; behold, publish^H8085 against Jerusalem^H3389, that watchers^H5341 come^H0935 from a far^H4801 country^H0776, and give out^H5414 their voice^H6963 against the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063. ¹⁷As keepers^H8104 of a field^H7704, are they against her round about^H5439; because she hath been rebellious^H4784 against me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁸Thy way^H1870 and thy doings^H4611 have procured^H6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness^H7451, because it is bitter^H4751, because it reacheth^H5060 unto thine heart^H3820.

¹⁹My bowels^H4578, my bowels^H4578! I am pained^H2342 at my very^H7023 heart^H3820; my heart^H3820 maketh a noise^H1993 in me; I cannot hold my peace^H2790, because thou hast heard^H8085, O my soul^H5315, the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, the alarm^H8643 of war^H4421. ²⁰Destruction^H7667 upon destruction^H7667 is cried^H7121; for the whole land^H0776 is spoiled^H7703: suddenly^H6597 are my tents^H0168 spoiled^H7703, and my curtains^H3407 in a moment^H7281. ²¹How long shall I see^H7200 the standard^H5251, and hear^H8085 the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782? ²²For my people^H5971 is foolish^H0191, they have not known^H3045 me; they are sottish^H5530 children^H1121, and they have none understanding^H0995: they are wise^H2450 to do evil^H7489, but to do good^H3190 they have no knowledge^H3045. ²³I beheld^H7200 the earth^H0776, and, lo, it was without form^H8414, and void^H0922; and the heavens^H8064, and they had no light^H0216. ²⁴I beheld^H7200 the mountains^H2022, and, lo, they trembled^H7493, and all the hills^H1389 moved lightly^H7043. ²⁵I beheld^H7200, and, lo, there was no man^H0120, and all the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 were fled^H5074. ²⁶I beheld^H7200, and, lo, the fruitful place^H3759 was a wilderness^H4057, and all the cities^H5892 thereof were broken down^H5422 at the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, and by his fierce^H2740 anger^H0639. ²⁷For thus hath the LORD^H3068 said^H0559, The whole land^H0776 shall be desolate^H8077; yet will I not make^H6213 a full end^H3617. ²⁸For this shall the earth^H0776 mourn^H0056, and the heavens^H8064 above^H4605 be black^H6937: because I have spoken^H1696 it , I have purposed^H2161 it , and will not repent^H5162, neither will I turn back^H7725 from it. ²⁹The whole city^H5892 shall flee^H1272 for the noise^H6963 of the horsemen^H6571 and bowmen^H7198; they shall go^H0935 into thickets^H5645, and climb up^H5927 upon the rocks^H3710: every city^H5892 shall be forsaken^H5800, and not a man^H0376 dwell^H3427 therein^H2004. ³⁰And when thou art spoiled^H7703, what wilt thou do^H6213? Though thou clothest^H3847 thyself with crimson^H8144, though thou deckest^H5710 thee with ornaments^H5716 of gold^H2091, though thou rentest^H7167 thy face^H5869 with painting^H6320, in vain^H7723 shalt thou make thyself fair^H3302; thy lovers^H5689 will despise^H3988 thee, they will seek^H1245 thy life^H5315. ³¹For I have heard^H8085 a voice^H6963 as of a woman in travail^H2470, and the anguish^H6869 as of her that bringeth forth her first child^H1069, the voice^H6963 of the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726, that bewaileth^H3306 herself, that spreadeth^H6566 her hands^H3709, saying , Woe^H0188 is me now! for my soul^H5315 is wearied^H5888 because of murderers^H2026.

Jeremiah: Chapter 5

¹Run ye to and fro^H7751 through the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, and see^H7200 now, and know^H3045, and seek^H1245 in the broad places^H7339 thereof, if ye can find^H4672 a man^H0376, if there be^H3426 any that executeth^H6213 judgment^H4941, that seeketh^H1245 the truth^H0530; and I will pardon^H5545 it. ²And though they say^H0559, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416; surely they swear^H7650 falsely^H8267. ³O LORD^H3068, are not thine eyes^H5869 upon the truth^H0530? thou hast stricken^H5221 them, but they have not grieved^H2342; thou hast consumed^H3615 them, but they have refused^H3985 to receive^H3947 correction^H4148: they have made their faces^H6440 harder^H2388 than a rock^H5553; they have refused^H3985 to return^H7725. ⁴Therefore I said^H0559, Surely these are poor^H1800; they are foolish^H2973: for they know^H3045 not the way^H1870 of the LORD^H3068, nor the judgment^H4941 of their God^H0430. ⁵I will get^H3212 me unto the great men^H1419, and will speak^H1696 unto them; for they have known^H3045 the way^H1870 of the LORD^H3068, and the judgment^H4941 of their God^H0430: but these have altogether^H3162 broken^H7665 the yoke^H5923, and burst^H5423 the bonds^H4147. ⁶Wherefore a lion^H0738 out of the forest^H3293 shall slay^H5221 them, and a wolf^H2061 of the evenings^H6160 shall spoil^H7703 them, a leopard^H5246 shall watch^H8245 over their cities^H5892: every one that goeth out^H3318 thence shall^H2007 be torn in pieces^H2963: because their transgressions^H6588 are many^H7231, and their backslidings^H4878 are increased^H6105.

⁷How^H0335 shall I pardon^H5545 thee for this^H2063? thy children^H1121 have forsaken^H5800 me, and sworn^H7650 by them that are no^H3808 gods^H0430: when I had fed them to the full^H7650, they then committed adultery^H5003, and assembled themselves by troops^H1413 in the harlots^H2181 houses^H1004. ⁸They were as fed^H2109 horses^H5483 in the morning^H7904: every one^H0376 neighed^H6670 after his neighbours^H7453 wife^H0802. ⁹Shall I not visit^H6485 for these things ? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: and shall not my soul^H5315 be avenged^H5358 on such a nation^H1471 as this?

¹⁰Go ye up^H5927 upon her walls^H8284, and destroy^H7843; but make^H6213 not a full end^H3617: take away^H5493 her battlements^H5189; for they are not the LORDs^H3068. ¹¹For the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 have dealt very^H0898 treacherously^H0898 against me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹²They have belied^H3584 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, It is not he; neither shall evil^H7451 come^H0935 upon us; neither shall we see^H7200 sword^H2719 nor famine^H7458: ¹³And the prophets^H5030 shall become wind^H7307, and the word^H1696 is not in them: thus shall it be done^H6213 unto them. ¹⁴Wherefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of hosts^H6635, Because ye speak^H1696 this word^H1697, behold, I will make^H5414 my words^H1697 in thy mouth^H6310 fire^H0784, and this people^H5971 wood^H6086, and it shall devour^H0398 them. ¹⁵Lo, I will bring^H0935 a nation^H1471 upon you from far^H4801, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: it is a mighty^H0386 nation^H1471, it is an ancient^H5769 nation^H1471, a nation^H1471 whose language^H3956 thou knowest^H3045 not, neither understandest^H8085 what they say^H1696. ¹⁶Their quiver^H0827 is as an open^H6605 sepulchre^H6913, they are all mighty men^H1368. ¹⁷And they shall eat up^H0398 thine harvest^H7105, and thy bread^H3899, which thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323 should eat^H0398: they shall eat up^H0398 thy flocks^H6629 and thine herds^H1241: they shall eat up^H0398 thy vines^H1612 and thy fig trees^H8384: they shall impoverish^H7567 thy fenced^H4013 cities^H5892, wherein thou^H2007 trustedst^H0982, with the sword^H2719. ¹⁸Nevertheless in those days^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, I will not make^H6213 a full end^H3617 with you.

¹⁹And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say^H0559, Wherefore^H8478 doeth^H6213 the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer^H0559 them, Like as ye have forsaken^H5800 me, and served^H5647 strange^H5236 gods^H0430 in your land^H0776, so shall ye serve^H5647 strangers^H2114 in a land^H0776 that is not yours.

²⁰Declare^H5046 this in the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290, and publish^H8085 it in Judah^H3063, saying^H0559, ²¹Hear^H8085 now this, O foolish^H5530 people^H5971, and without understanding^H3820; which have eyes^H5869, and see^H7200 not; which have ears^H0241, and hear^H8085 not: ²²Fear^H3372 ye not me? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: will ye not tremble^H2342 at my presence^H6440, which have placed^H7760 the sand^H2344 for the bound^H1366 of the sea^H3220 by a perpetual^H5769 decree^H2706, that it cannot pass^H5674 it: and though the waves^H1530 thereof toss^H1607 themselves, yet can they not prevail^H3201; though they roar^H1993, yet can they not pass over^H5674 it? ²³But this people^H5971 hath a revolting^H5637 and a rebellious^H4784 heart^H3820; they are revolted^H5493 and gone^H3212. ²⁴Neither say^H0559 they in their heart^H3824, Let us now fear^H3372 the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430, that giveth^H5414 rain^H1653, both the former^H3138 and the latter^H4456, in his season^H6256: he reserveth^H8104 unto us the appointed^H2708 weeks^H7620 of the harvest^H7105.

²⁵Your iniquities^H5771 have turned away^H5186 these things , and your sins^H2403 have withholden^H4513 good^H2896 things from you. ²⁶For among my people^H5971 are found^H4672 wicked^H7563 men: they lay wait^H7789, as he that setteth^H7918 snares^H3353; they set^H5324 a trap^H4889, they catch^H3920 men^H0582. ²⁷As a cage^H3619 is full^H4392 of birds^H5775, so are their houses^H1004 full^H4392 of deceit^H4820: therefore they are become great^H1431, and waxen rich^H6238. ²⁸They are waxen fat^H8080, they shine^H6245: yea, they overpass^H5674 the deeds^H1697 of the wicked^H7451: they judge^H1777 not the cause^H1779, the cause of the fatherless^H3490, yet they prosper^H6743; and the right^H4941 of the needy^H0034 do they not judge^H8199. ²⁹Shall I not visit^H6485 for these things ? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: shall not my soul^H5315 be avenged^H5358 on such a nation^H1471 as this?

³⁰A wonderful^H8047 and horrible thing^H8186 is committed^H1961 in the land^H0776; ³¹The prophets^H5030 prophesy^H5012 falsely^H8267, and the priests^H3548 bear rule^H7287 by their means^H3027; and my people^H5971 love^H0157 to have it so: and what will ye do^H6213 in the end^H0319 thereof?

Jeremiah: Chapter 6

¹O ye children^H1121 of Benjamin^H1144, gather yourselves to flee^H5756 out of the midst^H7130 of Jerusalem^H3389, and blow^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 in Tekoa^H8620, and set up^H5375 a sign^H4864 of fire in Beth-haccerem^H1021: for evil^H7451 appeareth^H8259 out of the north^H6828, and great^H1419 destruction^H7667. ²I have likened^H1820 the daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726 to a comely^H5116 and delicate^H6026 woman . ³The shepherds^H7462 with their flocks^H5739 shall come^H0935 unto her; they shall pitch^H8628 their tents^H0168 against her round about^H5439; they shall feed^H7462 every one^H0376 in his place^H3027. ⁴Prepare^H6942 ye war^H4421 against her; arise^H6965, and let us go up^H5927 at noon^H6672. Woe^H0188 unto us! for the day^H3117 goeth away^H6437, for the shadows^H6752 of the evening^H6153 are stretched out^H5186. ⁵Arise^H6965, and let us go^H5927 by night^H3915, and let us destroy^H7843 her palaces^H0759.

⁶For thus hath the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 said^H0559, Hew ye down^H3772 trees^H6097, and cast^H8210 a mount^H5550 against Jerusalem^H3389: this is the city^H5892 to be visited^H6485; she is wholly oppression^H6233 in the midst^H7130 of her. ⁷As a fountain^H0953 casteth out^H6979 her waters^H4325, so she casteth out^H6979 her wickedness^H7451: violence^H2555 and spoil^H7701 is heard^H8085 in her; before me^H6440 continually^H8548 is grief^H2483 and wounds^H4347. ⁸Be thou instructed^H3256, O Jerusalem^H3389, lest my soul^H5315 depart^H3363 from thee; lest I make^H7760 thee desolate^H8077, a land^H0776 not inhabited^H3427.

⁹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, They shall throughly^H5953 glean^H5953 the remnant^H7611 of Israel^H3478 as a vine^H1612: turn back^H7725 thine hand^H3027 as a grapegatherer^H1219 into the baskets^H5552. ¹⁰To whom shall I speak^H1696, and give warning^H5749, that they may hear^H8085? behold, their ear^H0241 is uncircumcised^H6189, and they cannot^H3201 hearken^H7181: behold, the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 is unto them a reproach^H2781; they have no delight^H2654 in it. ¹¹Therefore I am full^H4392 of the fury^H2534 of the LORD^H3068; I am weary^H3811 with holding in^H3557: I will pour it out^H8210 upon the children^H5768 abroad^H2351, and upon the assembly^H5475 of young men^H0970 together^H3162: for even the husband^H0376 with the wife^H0802 shall be taken^H3920, the aged^H2205 with him that is full^H4390 of days^H3117. ¹²And their houses^H1004 shall be turned^H5437 unto others^H0312, with their fields^H7704 and wives^H0802 together^H3162: for I will stretch out^H5186 my hand^H3027 upon the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H0776, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹³For from the least^H6996 of them even unto the greatest^H1419 of them every one is given^H1214 to covetousness^H1215; and from the prophet^H5030 even unto the priest^H3548 every one dealeth^H6213 falsely^H8267. ¹⁴They have healed^H7495 also the hurt^H7667 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 slightly^H7043, saying^H0559, Peace^H7965, peace^H7965; when there is no peace^H7965. ¹⁵Were they ashamed^H3001 when they had committed^H6213 abomination^H8441? nay^H1571, they were not at all^H0954 ashamed^H0954, neither^H1571 could^H3045 they blush^H3637: therefore they shall fall^H5307 among them that fall^H5307: at the time^H6256 that I visit^H6485 them they shall be cast down^H3782, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁶Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Stand^H5975 ye in the ways^H1870, and see^H7200, and ask^H7592 for the old^H5769 paths^H5410, where is the good^H2896 way^H1870, and walk^H3212 therein, and ye shall find^H4672 rest^H4771 for your souls^H5315. But they said^H0559, We will not walk^H3212 therein . ¹⁷Also I set^H6965 watchmen^H6822 over you, saying , Hearken^H7181 to the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782. But they said^H0559, We will not hearken^H7181.

¹⁸Therefore hear^H8085, ye nations^H1471, and know^H3045, O congregation^H5712, what is among them. ¹⁹Hear^H8085, O earth^H0776: behold, I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon this people^H5971, even the fruit^H6529 of their thoughts^H4284, because they have not hearkened^H7181 unto my words^H1697, nor to my law^H8451, but rejected^H3988 it. ²⁰To what purpose cometh^H0935 there to me incense^H3828 from Sheba^H7614, and the sweet^H2896 cane^H7070 from a far^H4801 country^H0776? your burnt offerings^H5930 are not acceptable^H7522, nor your sacrifices^H2077 sweet^H6149 unto me. ²¹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will lay^H5414 stumblingblocks^H4383 before this people^H5971, and the fathers^H0001 and the sons^H1121 together^H3162 shall fall^H3782 upon them; the neighbour^H7934 and his friend^H7453 shall perish^H0006. ²²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, a people^H5971 cometh^H0935 from the north^H6828 country^H0776, and a great^H1419 nation^H1471 shall be raised^H5782 from the sides^H3411 of the earth^H0776. ²³They shall lay hold^H2388 on bow^H7198 and spear^H3591; they are cruel^H0394, and have no mercy^H7355; their voice^H6963 roareth^H1993 like the sea^H3220; and they ride^H7392 upon horses^H5483, set in array^H6186 as men^H0376 for war^H4421 against thee, O daughter^H1323 of Zion^H6726. ²⁴We have heard^H8085 the fame^H8089 thereof: our hands^H3027 wax feeble^H7503: anguish^H6869 hath taken hold^H2388 of us, and pain^H2427, as of a woman in travail^H3205. ²⁵Go not forth^H3318 into the field^H7704, nor walk^H3212 by the way^H1870; for the sword^H2719 of the enemy^H0341 and fear^H4032 is on every side^H5439.

²⁶O daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971, gird^H2296 thee with sackcloth^H8242, and wallow^H6428 thyself in ashes^H0665: make^H6213 thee mourning^H0060, as for an only son^H3173, most bitter^H8563 lamentation^H4553: for the spoiler^H7703 shall suddenly^H6597 come^H0935 upon us. ²⁷I have set^H5414 thee for a tower^H0969 and a fortress^H4013 among my people^H5971, that thou mayest know^H3045 and try^H0974 their way^H1870. ²⁸They are all grievous^H5493 revolters^H5637, walking^H1980 with slanders^H7400: they are brass^H5178 and iron^H1270; they are all corrupters^H7843. ²⁹The bellows^H4647 are burned^H2787, the lead^H5777 is consumed^H8552 of the fire^H0800; the founder^H6884 melteth^H6884 in vain^H7723: for the wicked^H7451 are not plucked away^H5423. ³⁰Reprobate^H3988 silver^H3701 shall men call^H7121 them, because the LORD^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 them.

Jeremiah: Chapter 7

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Stand^H5975 in the gate^H8179 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, and proclaim^H7121 there this word^H1697, and say^H0559, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all ye of Judah^H3063, that enter in^H0935 at these gates^H8179 to worship^H7812 the LORD^H3068. ³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, Amend^H3190 your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611, and I will cause you to dwell^H7931 in this place^H4725. ⁴Trust^H0982 ye not in lying^H8267 words^H1697, saying^H0559, The temple^H1964 of the LORD^H3068, The temple^H1964 of the LORD^H3068, The temple^H1964 of the LORD^H3068, are these. ⁵For if ye throughly^H3190 amend^H3190 your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611; if ye throughly^H6213 execute^H6213 judgment^H4941 between a man^H0376 and his neighbour^H7453; ⁶ If ye oppress^H6231 not the stranger^H1616, the fatherless^H3490, and the widow^H0490, and shed^H8210 not innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 in this place^H4725, neither walk^H3212 after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430 to your hurt^H7451: ⁷Then will I cause you to dwell^H7931 in this place^H4725, in the land^H0776 that I gave^H5414 to your fathers^H0001, for^H5704 ever^H5769 and ever^H5769.

⁸Behold, ye trust^H0982 in lying^H8267 words^H1697, that cannot profit^H3276. ⁹Will ye steal^H1589, murder^H7523, and commit adultery^H5003, and swear^H7650 falsely^H8267, and burn incense^H6999 unto Baal^H1168, and walk^H1980 after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430 whom ye know^H3045 not; ¹⁰And come^H0935 and stand^H5975 before^H6440 me in this house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, and say^H0559, We are delivered^H5337 to do^H6213 all these abominations^H8441? ¹¹Is this house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, become a den^H4631 of robbers^H6530 in your eyes^H5869? Behold, even I have seen^H7200 it , saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹²But go^H3212 ye now unto my place^H4725 which was in Shiloh^H7887, where I set^H7931 my name^H8034 at the first^H7223, and see^H7200 what I did^H6213 to it for^H6440 the wickedness^H7451 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478. ¹³And now, because ye have done^H6213 all these works^H4639, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and I spake^H1696 unto you, rising up early^H7925 and speaking^H1696, but ye heard^H8085 not; and I called^H7121 you, but ye answered^H6030 not; ¹⁴Therefore will I do^H6213 unto this house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, wherein ye trust^H0982, and unto the place^H4725 which I gave^H5414 to you and to your fathers^H0001, as I have done^H6213 to Shiloh^H7887. ¹⁵And I will cast you out^H7993 of my sight^H6440, as I have cast out^H7993 all your brethren^H0251, even the whole seed^H2233 of Ephraim^H0669.

¹⁶Therefore pray^H6419 not thou for this people^H5971, neither lift up^H5375 cry^H7440 nor prayer^H8605 for them^H1157, neither make intercession^H6293 to me: for I will not hear^H8085 thee.

¹⁷Seest^H7200 thou not what they do^H6213 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389? ¹⁸The children^H1121 gather^H3950 wood^H6086, and the fathers^H0001 kindle^H1197 the fire^H0784, and the women^H0802 knead^H3888 their dough^H1217, to make^H6213 cakes^H3561 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430, that they may provoke me to anger^H3707. ¹⁹Do they provoke me to anger^H3707? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion^H1322 of their own faces^H6440? ²⁰Therefore thus saith^H0559 the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069; Behold, mine anger^H0639 and my fury^H2534 shall be poured out^H5413 upon this place^H4725, upon man^H0120, and upon beast^H0929, and upon the trees^H6086 of the field^H7704, and upon the fruit^H6529 of the ground^H0127; and it shall burn^H1197, and shall not be quenched^H3518.

²¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Put^H5595 your burnt offerings^H5930 unto your sacrifices^H2077, and eat^H0398 flesh^H1320. ²²For I spake^H1696 not unto your fathers^H0001, nor commanded^H6680 them in the day^H3117 that I brought them out^H3318 of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, concerning^H1697 burnt offerings^H5930 or sacrifices^H2077: ²³But this thing^H1697 commanded^H6680 I them, saying^H0559, Obey^H8085 my voice^H6963, and I will be your God^H0430, and ye shall be my people^H5971: and walk^H1980 ye in all the ways^H1870 that I have commanded^H6680 you, that it may be well^H3190 unto you. ²⁴But they hearkened^H8085 not, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241, but walked^H3212 in the counsels^H4156 and in the imagination^H8307 of their evil^H7451 heart^H3820, and went backward^H0268, and not forward^H6440. ²⁵Since the day^H3117 that your fathers^H0001 came forth out^H3318 of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 unto this day^H3117 I have even sent^H7971 unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, daily^H3117 rising up early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them: ²⁶Yet they hearkened^H8085 not unto me, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241, but hardened^H7185 their neck^H6203: they did worse^H7489 than their fathers^H0001. ²⁷Therefore thou shalt speak^H1696 all these words^H1697 unto them; but they will not hearken^H8085 to thee: thou shalt also call^H7121 unto them; but they will not answer^H6030 thee. ²⁸But thou shalt say^H0559 unto them, This is a nation^H1471 that obeyeth^H8085 not the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430, nor receiveth^H3947 correction^H4148: truth^H0530 is perished^H0006, and is cut off^H3772 from their mouth^H6310.

²⁹Cut off^H1494 thine hair^H5145, O Jerusalem , and cast it away^H7993, and take up^H5375 a lamentation^H7015 on high places^H8205; for the LORD^H3068 hath rejected^H3988 and forsaken^H5203 the generation^H1755 of his wrath^H5678. ³⁰For the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 have done^H6213 evil^H7451 in my sight^H5869, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: they have set^H7760 their abominations^H8251 in the house^H1004 which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, to pollute^H2930 it. ³¹And they have built^H1129 the high places^H1116 of Tophet^H8612, which is in the valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, to burn^H8313 their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323 in the fire^H0784; which I commanded^H6680 them not, neither came^H5927 it into my heart^H3820.

³²Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that it shall no more be called^H0559 Tophet^H8612, nor the valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, but the valley^H1516 of slaughter^H2028: for they shall bury^H6912 in Tophet^H8612, till there be no^H0369 place^H4725. ³³And the carcases^H5038 of this people^H5971 shall be meat^H3978 for the fowls^H5775 of the heaven^H8064, and for the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776; and none shall fray them away^H2729. ³⁴Then will I cause to cease^H7673 from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and from the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, the voice^H6963 of mirth^H8342, and the voice^H6963 of gladness^H8057, the voice^H6963 of the bridegroom^H2860, and the voice^H6963 of the bride^H3618: for the land^H0776 shall be desolate^H2723.

Jeremiah: Chapter 8

¹At that time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, they shall bring out^H3318 the bones^H6106 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and the bones^H6106 of his princes^H8269, and the bones^H6106 of the priests^H3548, and the bones^H6106 of the prophets^H5030, and the bones^H6106 of the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, out of their graves^H6913: ²And they shall spread^H7849 them before the sun^H8121, and the moon^H3394, and all the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064, whom they have loved^H0157, and whom they have served^H5647, and after^H0310 whom they have walked^H1980, and whom they have sought^H1875, and whom they have worshipped^H7812: they shall not be gathered^H0622, nor be buried^H6912; they shall be for dung^H1828 upon the face^H6440 of the earth^H0127. ³And death^H4194 shall be chosen^H0977 rather than life^H2416 by all the residue^H7611 of them that remain^H7604 of this evil^H7451 family^H4940, which remain^H7604 in all the places^H4725 whither I have driven^H5080 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.

⁴Moreover thou shalt say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Shall they fall^H5307, and not arise^H6965? shall he turn away^H7725, and not return^H7725? ⁵Why then is this people^H5971 of Jerusalem^H3389 slidden back^H7725 by a perpetual^H5329 backsliding^H4878? they hold^H2388 fast deceit^H8649, they refuse^H3985 to return^H7725. ⁶I hearkened^H7181 and heard^H8085, but they spake not aright^H1696: no man^H0376 repented^H5162 him of^H5921 his wickedness^H7451, saying^H0559, What have I done^H6213? every one turned^H7725 to his course^H4794, as the horse^H5483 rusheth^H7857 into the battle^H4421. ⁷Yea, the stork^H2624 in the heaven^H8064 knoweth^H3045 her appointed times^H4150; and the turtle^H8449 and the crane^H5483 and the swallow^H5693 observe^H8104 the time^H6256 of their coming^H0935; but my people^H5971 know^H3045 not the judgment^H4941 of the LORD^H3068. ⁸How do ye say^H0559, We are wise^H2450, and the law^H8451 of the LORD^H3068 is with us? Lo, certainly^H0403 in vain^H8267 made^H6213 he it; the pen^H5842 of the scribes^H5608 is in vain^H8267. ⁹The wise^H2450 men are ashamed^H3001, they are dismayed^H2865 and taken^H3920: lo, they have rejected^H3988 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068; and what wisdom^H2451 is in them? ¹⁰Therefore will I give^H5414 their wives^H0802 unto others^H0312, and their fields^H7704 to them that shall inherit^H3423 them: for every one from the least^H6996 even unto the greatest^H1419 is given^H1214 to covetousness^H1215, from the prophet^H5030 even unto the priest^H3548 every one dealeth^H6213 falsely^H8267. ¹¹For they have healed^H7495 the hurt^H7667 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 slightly^H7043, saying^H0559, Peace^H7965, peace^H7965; when there is no peace^H7965. ¹²Were they ashamed^H3001 when they had committed^H6213 abomination^H8441? nay, they were not at all^H0954 ashamed^H0954, neither could^H3045 they blush^H3637: therefore shall they fall^H5307 among them that fall^H5307: in the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486 they shall be cast down^H3782, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068.

¹³I will surely^H0622 consume^H5486 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: there shall be no grapes^H6025 on the vine^H1612, nor figs^H8384 on the fig tree^H8384, and the leaf^H5929 shall fade^H5034; and the things that I have given^H5414 them shall pass away^H5674 from them. ¹⁴Why do we sit still^H3427? assemble^H0622 yourselves, and let us enter^H0935 into the defenced^H4013 cities^H5892, and let us be silent^H1826 there: for the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 hath put us to silence^H1826, and given us water^H4325 of gall^H7219 to drink^H8248, because we have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068. ¹⁵We looked^H6960 for peace^H7965, but no good^H2896 came; and for a time^H6256 of health^H4832, and behold trouble^H1205! ¹⁶The snorting^H5170 of his horses^H5483 was heard^H8085 from Dan^H1835: the whole land^H0776 trembled^H7493 at the sound^H6963 of the neighing^H4684 of his strong ones^H0047; for they are come^H0935, and have devoured^H0398 the land^H0776, and all^H4393 that is in it; the city^H5892, and those that dwell^H3427 therein. ¹⁷For, behold, I will send^H7971 serpents^H5175, cockatrices^H6848, among you, which will not be charmed^H3908, and they shall bite^H5391 you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

¹⁸ When I would comfort^H4010 myself against sorrow^H3015, my heart^H3820 is faint^H1742 in me. ¹⁹Behold the voice^H6963 of the cry^H7775 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 because of them that dwell in a far^H4801 country^H0776: Is not the LORD^H3068 in Zion^H6726? is not her king^H4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to anger^H3707 with their graven images^H6456, and with strange^H5236 vanities^H1892? ²⁰The harvest^H7105 is past^H5674, the summer^H7019 is ended^H3615, and we are not saved^H3467. ²¹For the hurt^H7667 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 am I hurt^H7665; I am black^H6937; astonishment^H8047 hath taken hold^H2388 on me. ²² Is there no balm^H6875 in Gilead^H1568; is there no physician^H7495 there? why then^H3588 is not the health^H0724 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 recovered^H5927?

Jeremiah: Chapter 9

¹Oh that^H5414 my head^H7218 were waters^H4325, and mine eyes^H5869 a fountain^H4726 of tears^H1832, that I might weep^H1058 day^H3119 and night^H3915 for the slain^H2491 of the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971! ²Oh that^H5414 I had in the wilderness^H4057 a lodging place^H4411 of wayfaring men^H0732; that I might leave^H5800 my people^H5971, and go^H3212 from them! for they be all adulterers^H5003, an assembly^H6116 of treacherous men^H0898. ³And they bend^H1869 their tongues^H3956 like their bow^H7198 for lies^H8267: but they are not valiant^H1396 for the truth^H0530 upon the earth^H0776; for they proceed^H3318 from evil^H7451 to evil^H7451, and they know^H3045 not me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴Take ye heed^H8104 every one^H0376 of his neighbour^H7453, and trust^H0982 ye not in any brother^H0251: for every brother^H0251 will utterly^H6117 supplant^H6117, and every neighbour^H7453 will walk^H1980 with slanders^H7400. ⁵And they will deceive^H2048 every one^H0376 his neighbour^H7453, and will not speak^H1696 the truth^H0571: they have taught^H3925 their tongue^H3956 to speak^H1696 lies^H8267, and weary^H3811 themselves to commit iniquity^H5753. ⁶Thine habitation^H3427 is in the midst^H8432 of deceit^H4820; through deceit^H4820 they refuse^H3985 to know^H3045 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁷Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Behold, I will melt^H6884 them, and try^H0974 them; for how shall I do^H6213 for^H6440 the daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971? ⁸Their tongue^H3956 is as an arrow^H2671 shot out^H7819; it speaketh^H1696 deceit^H4820: one speaketh^H1696 peaceably^H7965 to his neighbour^H7453 with his mouth^H6310, but in heart^H7130 he layeth^H7760 his wait^H0696.

⁹Shall I not visit^H6485 them for these things ? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: shall not my soul^H5315 be avenged^H5358 on such a nation^H1471 as this? ¹⁰For the mountains^H2022 will I take up^H5375 a weeping^H1065 and wailing^H5092, and for the habitations^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057 a lamentation^H7015, because they are burned up^H3341, so that none^H0376 can pass^H5674 through them; neither can men hear^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the cattle^H4735; both the fowl^H5775 of the heavens^H8064 and the beast^H0929 are fled^H5074; they are gone^H1980. ¹¹And I will make^H5414 Jerusalem^H3389 heaps^H1530, and a den^H4583 of dragons^H8577; and I will make^H5414 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 desolate^H8077, without an inhabitant^H3427.

¹²Who is the wise^H2450 man^H0376, that may understand^H0995 this? and who is he to whom the mouth^H6310 of the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696, that he may declare^H5046 it, for what the land^H0776 perisheth^H0006 and is burned up^H3341 like a wilderness^H4057, that none passeth through^H5674? ¹³And the LORD^H3068 saith^H0559, Because they have forsaken^H5800 my law^H8451 which I set^H5414 before^H6440 them, and have not obeyed^H8085 my voice^H6963, neither walked^H1980 therein; ¹⁴But have walked^H3212 after^H0310 the imagination^H8307 of their own heart^H3820, and after^H0310 Baalim^H1168, which their fathers^H0001 taught^H3925 them: ¹⁵Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will feed^H0398 them, even this people^H5971, with wormwood^H3939, and give them water^H4325 of gall^H7219 to drink^H8248. ¹⁶I will scatter^H6327 them also among the heathen^H1471, whom neither they nor their fathers^H0001 have known^H3045: and I will send^H7971 a sword^H2719 after^H0310 them, till I have consumed^H3615 them.

¹⁷Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Consider^H0995 ye, and call^H7121 for the mourning women^H6969, that they may come^H0935; and send^H7971 for cunning^H2450 women , that they may come^H0935: ¹⁸And let them make haste^H4116, and take up^H5375 a wailing^H5092 for us, that our eyes^H5869 may run down^H3381 with tears^H1832, and our eyelids^H6079 gush out^H5140 with waters^H4325. ¹⁹For a voice^H6963 of wailing^H5092 is heard^H8085 out of Zion^H6726, How are we spoiled^H7703! we are greatly^H3966 confounded^H0954, because we have forsaken^H5800 the land^H0776, because our dwellings^H4908 have cast us out^H7993. ²⁰Yet hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O ye women^H0802, and let your ear^H0241 receive^H3947 the word^H1697 of his mouth^H6310, and teach^H3925 your daughters^H1323 wailing^H5092, and every one^H0802 her neighbour^H7468 lamentation^H7015. ²¹For death^H4194 is come up^H5927 into our windows^H2474, and is entered^H0935 into our palaces^H0759, to cut off^H3772 the children^H5768 from without^H2351, and the young men^H0970 from the streets^H7339. ²²Speak^H1696, Thus saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, Even the carcases^H5038 of men^H0120 shall fall^H5307 as dung^H1828 upon the open^H6440 field^H7704, and as the handful^H5995 after^H0310 the harvestman^H7114, and none shall gather^H0622 them .

²³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Let not the wise^H2450 man glory^H1984 in his wisdom^H2451, neither let the mighty^H1368 man glory^H1984 in his might^H1369, let not the rich^H6223 man glory^H1984 in his riches^H6239: ²⁴But let him that glorieth^H1984 glory^H1984 in this, that he understandeth^H7919 and knoweth^H3045 me, that I am the LORD^H3068 which exercise^H6213 lovingkindness^H2617, judgment^H4941, and righteousness^H6666, in the earth^H0776: for in these things I delight^H2654, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁵Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will punish^H6485 all them which are circumcised^H4135 with the uncircumcised^H6190; ²⁶ Egypt^H4714, and Judah^H3063, and Edom^H0123, and the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and Moab^H4124, and all that are in the utmost^H7112 corners^H6285, that dwell^H3427 in the wilderness^H4057: for all these nations^H1471 are uncircumcised^H6189, and all the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 are uncircumcised^H6189 in the heart^H3820.

Jeremiah: Chapter 10

¹Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 which the LORD^H3068 speaketh^H1696 unto you, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478: ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Learn^H3925 not the way^H1870 of the heathen^H1471, and be not dismayed^H2865 at the signs^H0226 of heaven^H8064; for the heathen^H1471 are dismayed^H2865 at them^H1992. ³For the customs^H2708 of the people^H5971 are vain^H1892: for one cutteth^H3772 a tree^H6086 out of the forest^H3293, the work^H4639 of the hands^H3027 of the workman^H2796, with the axe^H4621. ⁴They deck^H3302 it with silver^H3701 and with gold^H2091; they fasten^H2388 it with nails^H4548 and with hammers^H4717, that it move^H6328 not. ⁵They are upright^H4749 as the palm tree^H8560, but speak^H1696 not: they must needs^H5375 be borne^H5375, because they cannot go^H6805. Be not afraid^H3372 of them; for they cannot do evil^H7489, neither also is it in them to do good^H3190. ⁶Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD^H3068; thou art great^H1419, and thy name^H8034 is great^H1419 in might^H1369. ⁷Who would not fear^H3372 thee, O King^H4428 of nations^H1471? for to thee doth it appertain^H2969: forasmuch as among all the wise^H2450 men of the nations^H1471, and in all their kingdoms^H4438, there is none like unto thee. ⁸But they are altogether^H0259 brutish^H1197 and foolish^H3688: the stock^H6086 is a doctrine^H4148 of vanities^H1892. ⁹Silver^H3701 spread into plates^H7554 is brought^H0935 from Tarshish^H8659, and gold^H2091 from Uphaz^H0210, the work^H4639 of the workman^H2796, and of the hands^H3027 of the founder^H6884: blue^H8504 and purple^H0713 is their clothing^H3830: they are all the work^H4639 of cunning^H2450 men . ¹⁰But the LORD^H3068 is the true^H0571 God^H0430, he is the living^H2416 God^H0430, and an everlasting^H5769 king^H4428: at his wrath^H7110 the earth^H0776 shall tremble^H7493, and the nations^H1471 shall not be able to abide^H3557 his indignation^H2195. ¹¹Thus^H1836 shall ye say^H0560 unto them, The gods^H0426 that have not^H3809 made^H5648 the heavens^H8065 and the earth^H0778, even they shall perish^H0007 from the earth^H0772, and from under^H8460 these^H0429 heavens^H8065. ¹²He hath made^H6213 the earth^H0776 by his power^H3581, he hath established^H3559 the world^H8398 by his wisdom^H2451, and hath stretched out^H5186 the heavens^H8064 by his discretion^H8394. ¹³When he uttereth^H5414 his voice^H6963, there is a multitude^H1995 of waters^H4325 in the heavens^H8064, and he causeth the vapours^H5387 to ascend^H5927 from the ends^H7097 of the earth^H0776; he maketh^H6213 lightnings^H1300 with rain^H4306, and bringeth forth^H3318 the wind^H7307 out of his treasures^H0214. ¹⁴Every man^H0120 is brutish^H1197 in his knowledge^H1847: every founder^H6884 is confounded^H3001 by the graven image^H6459: for his molten image^H5262 is falsehood^H8267, and there is no breath^H7307 in them. ¹⁵They are vanity^H1892, and the work^H4639 of errors^H8595: in the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486 they shall perish^H0006. ¹⁶The portion^H2506 of Jacob^H3290 is not like them: for he is the former^H3335 of all things; and Israel^H3478 is the rod^H7626 of his inheritance^H5159: The LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034.

¹⁷Gather up^H0622 thy wares^H3666 out of the land^H0776, O inhabitant^H3427 of the fortress^H4692. ¹⁸For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will sling^H7049 out the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H0776 at this once^H6471, and will distress^H6887 them, that they may find^H4672 it so .

¹⁹Woe^H0188 is me for my hurt^H7667! my wound^H4347 is grievous^H2470: but I said^H0559, Truly^H0389 this is a grief^H2483, and I must bear^H5375 it. ²⁰My tabernacle^H0168 is spoiled^H7703, and all my cords^H4340 are broken^H5423: my children^H1121 are gone forth^H3318 of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth^H5186 my tent^H0168 any more, and to set up^H6965 my curtains^H3407. ²¹For the pastors^H7462 are become brutish^H1197, and have not sought^H1875 the LORD^H3068: therefore they shall not prosper^H7919, and all their flocks^H4830 shall be scattered^H6327. ²²Behold, the noise^H6963 of the bruit^H8052 is come^H0935, and a great^H1419 commotion^H7494 out of the north^H6828 country^H0776, to make^H7760 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 desolate^H8077, and a den^H4583 of dragons^H8577.

²³O LORD^H3068, I know^H3045 that the way^H1870 of man^H0120 is not in himself: it is not in man^H0376 that walketh^H1980 to direct^H3559 his steps^H6806. ²⁴O LORD^H3068, correct^H3256 me, but with judgment^H4941; not in thine anger^H0639, lest thou bring me to nothing^H4591. ²⁵Pour out^H8210 thy fury^H2534 upon the heathen^H1471 that know^H3045 thee not, and upon the families^H4940 that call^H7121 not on thy name^H8034: for they have eaten up^H0398 Jacob^H3290, and devoured^H0398 him, and consumed^H3615 him, and have made his habitation^H5116 desolate^H8074.

Jeremiah: Chapter 11

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Hear^H8085 ye the words^H1697 of this covenant^H1285, and speak^H1696 unto the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, and to the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389; ³And say^H0559 thou unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Cursed^H0779 be the man^H0376 that obeyeth^H8085 not the words^H1697 of this covenant^H1285, ⁴Which I commanded^H6680 your fathers^H0001 in the day^H3117 that I brought them forth^H3318 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, from the iron^H1270 furnace^H3564, saying^H0559, Obey^H8085 my voice^H6963, and do^H6213 them, according to all which I command^H6680 you: so shall ye be my people^H5971, and I will be your God^H0430: ⁵That I may perform^H6965 the oath^H7621 which I have sworn^H7650 unto your fathers^H0001, to give^H5414 them a land^H0776 flowing^H2100 with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706, as it is this day^H3117. Then answered^H6030 I, and said^H0559, So be it^H0543, O LORD^H3068. ⁶Then the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, Proclaim^H7121 all these words^H1697 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, Hear^H8085 ye the words^H1697 of this covenant^H1285, and do^H6213 them. ⁷For I earnestly^H5749 protested^H5749 unto your fathers^H0001 in the day^H3117 that I brought them up^H5927 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, even unto this day^H3117, rising early^H7925 and protesting^H5749, saying^H0559, Obey^H8085 my voice^H6963. ⁸Yet they obeyed^H8085 not, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241, but walked^H3212 every one^H0376 in the imagination^H8307 of their evil^H7451 heart^H3820: therefore I will bring^H0935 upon them all the words^H1697 of this covenant^H1285, which I commanded^H6680 them to do^H6213; but they did^H6213 them not. ⁹And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, A conspiracy^H7195 is found^H4672 among the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, and among the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389. ¹⁰They are turned back^H7725 to the iniquities^H5771 of their forefathers^H7223, which refused^H3985 to hear^H8085 my words^H1697; and they went^H1980 after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430 to serve^H5647 them: the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 have broken^H6565 my covenant^H1285 which I made^H3772 with their fathers^H0001.

¹¹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon them, which they shall not be able^H3201 to escape^H3318; and though they shall cry^H2199 unto me, I will not hearken^H8085 unto them. ¹²Then shall the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 and inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 go^H1980, and cry^H2199 unto the gods^H0430 unto whom they offer incense^H6999: but they shall not save^H3467 them at all^H3467 in the time^H6256 of their trouble^H7451. ¹³For according to the number^H4557 of thy cities^H5892 were thy gods^H0430, O Judah^H3063; and according to the number^H4557 of the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389 have ye set up^H7760 altars^H4196 to that shameful thing^H1322, even altars^H4196 to burn incense^H6999 unto Baal^H1168. ¹⁴Therefore pray^H6419 not thou for this people^H5971, neither lift up^H5375 a cry^H7440 or prayer^H8605 for them: for I will not hear^H8085 them in the time^H6256 that they cry^H7121 unto me for their trouble^H7451. ¹⁵What hath my beloved^H3039 to do in mine house^H1004, seeing she hath wrought^H6213 lewdness^H4209 with many^H7227, and the holy^H6944 flesh^H1320 is passed^H5674 from thee? when thou doest evil^H7451, then thou rejoicest^H5937. ¹⁶The LORD^H3068 called^H7121 thy name^H8034, A green^H7488 olive tree^H2132, fair^H3303, and of goodly^H8389 fruit^H6529: with the noise^H6963 of a great^H1419 tumult^H1999 he hath kindled^H3341 fire^H0784 upon it, and the branches^H1808 of it are broken^H7489. ¹⁷For the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that planted^H5193 thee, hath pronounced^H1696 evil^H7451 against thee, for^H1558 the evil^H7451 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and of the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063, which they have done^H6213 against themselves to provoke me to anger^H3707 in offering incense^H6999 unto Baal^H1168.

¹⁸And the LORD^H3068 hath given me knowledge^H3045 of it , and I know^H3045 it: then thou shewedst^H7200 me their doings^H4611. ¹⁹But I was like a lamb^H3532 or an ox^H0441 that is brought^H2986 to the slaughter^H2873; and I knew^H3045 not that they had devised^H2803 devices^H4284 against me, saying , Let us destroy^H7843 the tree^H6086 with the fruit^H3899 thereof, and let us cut him off^H3772 from the land^H0776 of the living^H2416, that his name^H8034 may be no more remembered^H2142. ²⁰But, O LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that judgest^H8199 righteously^H6664, that triest^H0974 the reins^H3629 and the heart^H3820, let me see^H7200 thy vengeance^H5360 on them: for unto thee have I revealed^H1540 my cause^H7379. ²¹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of the men^H0582 of Anathoth^H6068, that seek^H1245 thy life^H5315, saying^H0559, Prophesy^H5012 not in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, that thou die^H4191 not by our hand^H3027: ²²Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Behold, I will punish^H6485 them: the young men^H0970 shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719; their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323 shall die^H4191 by famine^H7458: ²³And there shall be no remnant^H7611 of them: for I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon the men^H0582 of Anathoth^H6068, even the year^H8141 of their visitation^H6486.

Jeremiah: Chapter 12

¹Righteous^H6662 art thou, O LORD^H3068, when I plead^H7378 with thee: yet let me talk^H1696 with thee of thy judgments^H4941: Wherefore doth the way^H1870 of the wicked^H7563 prosper^H6743? wherefore are all they happy^H7951 that deal very^H0899 treacherously^H0898? ²Thou hast planted^H5193 them, yea, they have taken root^H8327: they grow^H3212, yea, they bring forth^H6213 fruit^H6529: thou art near^H7138 in their mouth^H6310, and far from^H7350 their reins^H3629. ³But thou, O LORD^H3068, knowest^H3045 me: thou hast seen^H7200 me, and tried^H0974 mine heart^H3820 toward thee: pull them out^H5423 like sheep^H6629 for the slaughter^H2878, and prepare^H6942 them for the day^H3117 of slaughter^H2028. ⁴How long shall the land^H0776 mourn^H0056, and the herbs^H6212 of every field^H7704 wither^H3001, for the wickedness^H7451 of them that dwell^H3427 therein? the beasts^H0929 are consumed^H5595, and the birds^H5775; because they said^H0559, He shall not see^H7200 our last end^H0319.

⁵If thou hast run^H7323 with the footmen^H7273, and they have wearied^H3811 thee, then how canst thou contend^H8474 with horses^H5483? and if in the land^H0776 of peace^H7965, wherein thou trustedst^H0982, they wearied thee , then how wilt thou do^H6213 in the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383? ⁶For even thy brethren^H0251, and the house^H1004 of thy father^H0001, even they have dealt treacherously^H0898 with thee; yea, they have called^H7121 a multitude^H4392 after^H0310 thee: believe^H0539 them not, though they speak^H1696 fair words^H2896 unto thee.

⁷I have forsaken^H5800 mine house^H1004, I have left^H5203 mine heritage^H5159; I have given^H5414 the dearly beloved^H3033 of my soul^H5315 into the hand^H3709 of her enemies^H0341. ⁸Mine heritage^H5159 is unto me as a lion^H0738 in the forest^H3293; it crieth out^H5414 against me: therefore have I hated^H8130 it. ⁹Mine heritage^H5159 is unto me as a speckled^H6641 bird^H5861, the birds^H5861 round about^H5439 are against her; come^H3212 ye, assemble^H0622 all the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, come^H0857 to devour^H0402. ¹⁰Many^H7227 pastors^H7462 have destroyed^H7843 my vineyard^H3754, they have trodden^H0947 my portion^H2513 under foot^H0947, they have made^H5414 my pleasant^H2532 portion^H2513 a desolate^H8077 wilderness^H4057. ¹¹They have made^H7760 it desolate^H8076, and being desolate^H8077 it mourneth^H0056 unto me; the whole land^H0776 is made desolate^H8074, because no man^H0376 layeth^H7760 it to heart^H3820. ¹²The spoilers^H7703 are come^H0935 upon all high places^H8205 through the wilderness^H4057: for the sword^H2719 of the LORD^H3068 shall devour^H0398 from the one end^H7097 of the land^H0776 even to the other end^H7097 of the land^H0776: no flesh^H1320 shall have peace^H7965. ¹³They have sown^H2232 wheat^H2406, but shall reap^H7114 thorns^H6975: they have put themselves to pain^H2470, but shall not profit^H3276: and they shall be ashamed^H0954 of your revenues^H8393 because of the fierce^H2740 anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁴Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 against all mine evil^H7451 neighbours^H7934, that touch^H5060 the inheritance^H5159 which I have caused my people^H5971 Israel^H3478 to inherit^H5157; Behold, I will pluck them out^H5428 of their land^H0127, and pluck out^H5428 the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 from among^H8432 them. ¹⁵And it shall come to pass, after^H0310 that I have plucked them out^H5428 I will return^H7725, and have compassion^H7355 on them, and will bring them again^H7725, every man^H0376 to his heritage^H5159, and every man^H0376 to his land^H0776. ¹⁶And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently^H3925 learn^H3925 the ways^H1870 of my people^H5971, to swear^H7650 by my name^H8034, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416; as they taught^H3925 my people^H5971 to swear^H7650 by Baal^H1168; then shall they be built^H1129 in the midst^H8432 of my people^H5971. ¹⁷But if they will not obey^H8085, I will utterly^H5428 pluck up^H5428 and destroy^H0006 that nation^H1471, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 13

¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Go^H1980 and get^H7069 thee a linen^H6593 girdle^H0232, and put^H7760 it upon thy loins^H4975, and put^H0935 it not in water^H4325. ²So I got^H7069 a girdle^H0232 according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, and put^H7760 it on my loins^H4975. ³And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me the second time^H8145, saying^H0559, ⁴Take^H3947 the girdle^H0232 that thou hast got^H7069, which is upon thy loins^H4975, and arise^H6965, go^H3212 to Euphrates^H6578, and hide^H2934 it there in a hole^H5357 of the rock^H5553. ⁵So I went^H3212, and hid^H2934 it by Euphrates^H6578, as the LORD^H3068 commanded^H6680 me. ⁶And it came to pass after^H7093 many^H7227 days^H3117, that the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, Arise^H6965, go^H3212 to Euphrates^H6578, and take^H3947 the girdle^H0232 from thence, which I commanded^H6680 thee to hide^H2934 there. ⁷Then I went^H3212 to Euphrates^H6578, and digged^H2658, and took^H3947 the girdle^H0232 from the place^H4725 where I had hid^H2934 it: and, behold, the girdle^H0232 was marred^H7843, it was profitable^H6743 for nothing. ⁸Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H0559, ⁹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, After this manner will I mar^H7843 the pride^H1347 of Judah^H3063, and the great^H7227 pride^H1347 of Jerusalem^H3389. ¹⁰This evil^H7451 people^H5971, which refuse^H3987 to hear^H8085 my words^H1697, which walk^H1980 in the imagination^H8307 of their heart^H3820, and walk^H3212 after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430, to serve^H5647 them, and to worship^H7812 them, shall even be as this girdle^H0232, which is good^H6743 for nothing. ¹¹For as the girdle^H0232 cleaveth^H1692 to the loins^H4975 of a man^H0376, so have I caused to cleave^H1692 unto me the whole house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and the whole house^H1004 of Judah^H3063, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; that they might be unto me for a people^H5971, and for a name^H8034, and for a praise^H8416, and for a glory^H8597: but they would not hear^H8085.

¹²Therefore thou shalt speak^H0559 unto them this word^H1697; Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, Every bottle^H5035 shall be filled^H4390 with wine^H3196: and they shall say^H0559 unto thee, Do we not certainly^H3045 know^H3045 that every bottle^H5035 shall be filled^H4390 with wine^H3196? ¹³Then shalt thou say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will fill^H4390 all the inhabitants^H3427 of this land^H0776, even the kings^H4428 that sit^H3427 upon Davids^H1732 throne^H3678, and the priests^H3548, and the prophets^H5030, and all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, with drunkenness^H7943. ¹⁴And I will dash^H5310 them one^H0376 against another^H0251, even the fathers^H0001 and the sons^H1121 together^H3162, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: I will not pity^H2550, nor spare^H2347, nor have mercy^H7355, but destroy^H7843 them.

¹⁵Hear^H8085 ye, and give ear^H0238; be not proud^H1361: for the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696. ¹⁶Give^H5414 glory^H3519 to the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430, before he cause darkness^H2821, and before your feet^H7272 stumble^H5062 upon the dark^H5399 mountains^H2022, and, while ye look^H6960 for light^H0216, he turn^H7760 it into the shadow of death^H6757, and make^H7896 it gross darkness^H6205. ¹⁷But if ye will not hear^H8085 it, my soul^H5315 shall weep^H1058 in secret places^H4565 for^H6440 your pride^H1466; and mine eye^H5869 shall weep^H1830 sore^H1830, and run down^H3381 with tears^H1832, because the LORDs^H3068 flock^H5739 is carried away captive^H7617. ¹⁸Say^H0559 unto the king^H4428 and to the queen^H1377, Humble^H8213 yourselves, sit down^H3427: for your principalities^H4761 shall come down^H3381, even the crown^H5850 of your glory^H8597. ¹⁹The cities^H5892 of the south^H5045 shall be shut up^H5462, and none shall open^H6605 them: Judah^H3063 shall be carried away captive^H1540 all of it, it shall be wholly^H7965 carried away captive^H1540. ²⁰Lift up^H5375 your eyes^H5869, and behold^H7200 them that come^H0935 from the north^H6828: where is the flock^H5739 that was given^H5414 thee, thy beautiful^H8597 flock^H6629? ²¹What wilt thou say^H0559 when he shall punish^H6485 thee? for thou hast taught^H3925 them to be captains^H0441, and as chief^H7218 over thee: shall not sorrows^H2256 take^H0270 thee, as a woman^H0802 in travail^H3205?

²²And if thou say^H0559 in thine heart^H3824, Wherefore come^H7122 these things upon me? For the greatness^H7230 of thine iniquity^H5771 are thy skirts^H7757 discovered^H1540, and thy heels^H6119 made bare^H2554. ²³Can the Ethiopian^H3569 change^H2015 his skin^H5785, or the leopard^H5246 his spots^H2272? then may^H3201 ye also do good^H3190, that are accustomed^H3928 to do evil^H7489. ²⁴Therefore will I scatter^H6327 them as the stubble^H7179 that passeth away^H5674 by the wind^H7307 of the wilderness^H4057. ²⁵This is thy lot^H1486, the portion^H4490 of thy measures^H4055 from me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; because thou hast forgotten^H7911 me, and trusted^H0982 in falsehood^H8267. ²⁶Therefore will I discover^H2834 thy skirts^H7757 upon thy face^H6440, that thy shame^H7036 may appear^H7200. ²⁷I have seen^H7200 thine adulteries^H5004, and thy neighings^H4684, the lewdness^H2154 of thy whoredom^H2184, and thine abominations^H8251 on the hills^H1389 in the fields^H7704. Woe^H0188 unto thee, O Jerusalem^H3389! wilt thou not be made clean^H2891? when shall it once^H5750 be ?

Jeremiah: Chapter 14

¹The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning^H1697 the dearth^H1226. ² Judah^H3063 mourneth^H0056, and the gates^H8179 thereof languish^H0535; they are black^H6937 unto the ground^H0776; and the cry^H6682 of Jerusalem^H3389 is gone up^H5927. ³And their nobles^H0117 have sent^H7971 their little ones^H6810 to the waters^H4325: they came^H0935 to the pits^H1356, and found^H4672 no water^H4325; they returned^H7725 with their vessels^H3627 empty^H7387; they were ashamed^H0954 and confounded^H3637, and covered^H2645 their heads^H7218. ⁴Because the ground^H0127 is chapt^H2865, for there was no rain^H1653 in the earth^H0776, the plowmen^H0406 were ashamed^H0954, they covered^H2645 their heads^H7218. ⁵Yea, the hind^H0365 also calved^H3205 in the field^H7704, and forsook^H5800 it , because there was no grass^H1877. ⁶And the wild asses^H6501 did stand^H5975 in the high places^H8205, they snuffed up^H7602 the wind^H7307 like dragons^H8577; their eyes^H5869 did fail^H3615, because there was no grass^H6212.

⁷O LORD^H3068, though our iniquities^H5771 testify^H6030 against us, do^H6213 thou it for thy names^H8034 sake: for our backslidings^H4878 are many^H7231; we have sinned^H2398 against thee. ⁸O the hope^H4723 of Israel^H3478, the saviour^H3467 thereof in time^H6256 of trouble^H6869, why shouldest thou be as a stranger^H1616 in the land^H0776, and as a wayfaring man^H0732 that turneth aside^H5186 to tarry for a night^H3885? ⁹Why shouldest thou be as a man^H0376 astonied^H1724, as a mighty man^H1368 that cannot^H3201 save^H3467? yet thou, O LORD^H3068, art in the midst^H7130 of us, and we are called^H7121 by thy name^H8034; leave^H3240 us not.

¹⁰Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto this people^H5971, Thus have they loved^H0157 to wander^H5128, they have not refrained^H2820 their feet^H7272, therefore the LORD^H3068 doth not accept^H7521 them; he will now remember^H2142 their iniquity^H5771, and visit^H6485 their sins^H2403. ¹¹Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Pray^H6419 not for this people^H5971 for their good^H2896. ¹²When they fast^H6684, I will not hear^H8085 their cry^H7440; and when they offer^H5927 burnt offering^H5930 and an oblation^H4503, I will not accept^H7521 them: but I will consume^H3615 them by the sword^H2719, and by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698.

¹³Then said^H0559 I, Ah^H0162, Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069! behold, the prophets^H5030 say^H0559 unto them, Ye shall not see^H7200 the sword^H2719, neither shall ye have famine^H7458; but I will give^H5414 you assured^H0571 peace^H7965 in this place^H4725. ¹⁴Then the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto me, The prophets^H5030 prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267 in my name^H8034: I sent^H7971 them not, neither have I commanded^H6680 them, neither spake^H1696 unto them: they prophesy^H5012 unto you a false^H8267 vision^H2377 and divination^H7081, and a thing of nought^H0457, and the deceit^H8649 of their heart^H3820. ¹⁵Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 concerning the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 in my name^H8034, and I sent^H7971 them not, yet they say^H0559, Sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall not be in this land^H0776; By sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall those prophets^H5030 be consumed^H8552. ¹⁶And the people^H5971 to whom they prophesy^H5012 shall be cast out^H7993 in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389 because^H6440 of the famine^H7458 and the sword^H2719; and they shall have none to bury^H6912 them^H1992, them, their wives^H0802, nor their sons^H1121, nor their daughters^H1323: for I will pour^H8210 their wickedness^H7451 upon them.

¹⁷Therefore thou shalt say^H0559 this word^H1697 unto them; Let mine eyes^H5869 run down^H3381 with tears^H1832 night^H3915 and day^H3119, and let them not cease^H1820: for the virgin^H1330 daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 is broken^H7665 with a great^H1419 breach^H7667, with a very^H3966 grievous^H2470 blow^H4347. ¹⁸If I go forth^H3318 into the field^H7704, then behold the slain^H2491 with the sword^H2719! and if I enter^H0935 into the city^H5892, then behold them that are sick^H8463 with famine^H7458! yea, both the prophet^H5030 and the priest^H3548 go about^H5503 into a land^H0776 that they know^H3045 not. ¹⁹Hast thou utterly^H3988 rejected^H3988 Judah^H3063? hath thy soul^H5315 lothed^H1602 Zion^H6726? why hast thou smitten^H5221 us, and there is no healing^H4832 for us? we looked^H6960 for peace^H7965, and there is no good^H2896; and for the time^H6256 of healing^H4832, and behold trouble^H1205! ²⁰We acknowledge^H3045, O LORD^H3068, our wickedness^H7562, and the iniquity^H5771 of our fathers^H0001: for we have sinned^H2398 against thee. ²¹Do not abhor^H5006 us , for thy names^H8034 sake, do not disgrace^H5034 the throne^H3678 of thy glory^H3519: remember^H2142, break^H6565 not thy covenant^H1285 with us. ²²Are there^H3426 any among the vanities^H1892 of the Gentiles^H1471 that can cause rain^H1652? or can the heavens^H8064 give^H5414 showers^H7241? art not thou he, O LORD^H3068 our God^H0430? therefore we will wait^H6960 upon thee: for thou hast made^H6213 all these things .

Jeremiah: Chapter 15

¹Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Though Moses^H4872 and Samuel^H8050 stood^H5975 before^H6440 me, yet my mind^H5315 could not be toward this people^H5971: cast them out^H7971 of my sight^H6440, and let them go forth^H3318. ²And it shall come to pass, if they say^H0559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forth^H3318? then thou shalt tell^H0559 them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Such as are for death^H4194, to death^H4194; and such as are for the sword^H2719, to the sword^H2719; and such as are for the famine^H7458, to the famine^H7458; and such as are for the captivity^H7628, to the captivity^H7628. ³And I will appoint^H6485 over them four^H0702 kinds^H4940, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: the sword^H2719 to slay^H2026, and the dogs^H3611 to tear^H5498, and the fowls^H5775 of the heaven^H8064, and the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776, to devour^H0398 and destroy^H7843. ⁴And I will cause^H5414 them to be removed^H2189 into all kingdoms^H4467 of the earth^H0776, because^H1558 of Manasseh^H4519 the son^H1121 of Hezekiah^H3169 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, for that which he did^H6213 in Jerusalem^H3389. ⁵For who shall have pity^H2550 upon thee, O Jerusalem^H3389? or who shall bemoan^H5110 thee? or who shall go aside^H5493 to ask^H7592 how thou doest^H7965? ⁶Thou hast forsaken^H5203 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, thou art gone^H3212 backward^H0268: therefore will I stretch out^H5186 my hand^H3027 against thee, and destroy^H7843 thee; I am weary^H3811 with repenting^H5162. ⁷And I will fan^H2219 them with a fan^H4214 in the gates^H8179 of the land^H0776; I will bereave^H7921 them of children, I will destroy^H0006 my people^H5971, since they return^H7725 not from their ways^H1870. ⁸Their widows^H0490 are increased^H6105 to me above the sand^H2344 of the seas^H3220: I have brought^H0935 upon them against the mother^H0517 of the young men^H0970 a spoiler^H7703 at noonday^H6672: I have caused him to fall^H5307 upon it suddenly^H6597, and terrors^H0928 upon the city^H5892. ⁹She that hath borne^H3205 seven^H7651 languisheth^H0535: she hath given up^H5301 the ghost^H5315; her sun^H8121 is gone^H0935 down while it was yet day^H3119: she hath been ashamed^H0954 and confounded^H2659: and the residue^H7611 of them will I deliver^H5414 to the sword^H2719 before^H6440 their enemies^H0341, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

¹⁰Woe^H0188 is me, my mother^H0517, that thou hast borne^H3205 me a man^H0376 of strife^H7379 and a man^H0376 of contention^H4066 to the whole earth^H0776! I have neither lent on usury^H5383, nor men have lent to me on usury^H5383; yet every one of them doth curse^H7043 me. ¹¹The LORD^H3068 said^H0559, Verily^H3808 it shall be well^H2896 with thy remnant^H8281; verily^H0518 I will cause the enemy^H0341 to entreat^H6293 thee well in the time^H6256 of evil^H7451 and in the time^H6256 of affliction^H6869. ¹²Shall iron^H1270 break^H7489 the northern^H6828 iron^H1270 and the steel^H5178? ¹³Thy substance^H2428 and thy treasures^H0214 will I give^H5414 to the spoil^H0957 without price^H4242, and that for all thy sins^H2403, even in all thy borders^H1366. ¹⁴And I will make thee to pass^H5674 with thine enemies^H0341 into a land^H0776 which thou knowest^H3045 not: for a fire^H0784 is kindled^H6919 in mine anger^H0639, which shall burn^H3344 upon you.

¹⁵O LORD^H3068, thou knowest^H3045: remember^H2142 me, and visit^H6485 me, and revenge^H5358 me of my persecutors^H7291; take me not away^H3947 in thy longsuffering^H0639: know^H3045 that for thy sake I have suffered^H5375 rebuke^H2781. ¹⁶Thy words^H1697 were found^H4672, and I did eat^H0398 them; and thy word^H1697 was unto me the joy^H8342 and rejoicing^H8057 of mine heart^H3824: for I am called^H7121 by thy name^H8034, O LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of hosts^H6635. ¹⁷I sat^H3427 not in the assembly^H5475 of the mockers^H7832, nor rejoiced^H5937; I sat^H3427 alone^H0910 because^H6440 of thy hand^H3027: for thou hast filled^H4390 me with indignation^H2195. ¹⁸Why is my pain^H3511 perpetual^H5331, and my wound^H4347 incurable^H0605, which refuseth^H3985 to be healed^H7495? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar^H0391, and as waters^H4325 that fail^H0539?

¹⁹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, If thou return^H7725, then will I bring thee again^H7725, and thou shalt stand^H5975 before^H6440 me: and if thou take forth^H3318 the precious^H3368 from the vile^H2151, thou shalt be as my mouth^H6310: let them return^H7725 unto thee; but return^H7725 not thou unto them. ²⁰And I will make^H5414 thee unto this people^H5971 a fenced^H1219 brasen^H5178 wall^H2346: and they shall fight^H3898 against thee, but they shall not prevail^H3201 against thee: for I am with thee to save^H3467 thee and to deliver^H5337 thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²¹And I will deliver^H5337 thee out of the hand^H3027 of the wicked^H7451, and I will redeem^H6299 thee out of the hand^H3709 of the terrible^H6184.

Jeremiah: Chapter 16

¹The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came also unto me, saying^H0559, ²Thou shalt not take^H3947 thee a wife^H0802, neither shalt thou have sons^H1121 or daughters^H1323 in this place^H4725. ³For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 concerning the sons^H1121 and concerning the daughters^H1323 that are born^H3205 in this place^H4725, and concerning their mothers^H0517 that bare^H3205 them, and concerning their fathers^H0001 that begat^H3209 them in this land^H0776; ⁴They shall die^H4191 of grievous^H8463 deaths^H4463; they shall not be lamented^H5594; neither shall they be buried^H6912; but they shall be as dung^H1828 upon the face^H6440 of the earth^H0127: and they shall be consumed^H3615 by the sword^H2719, and by famine^H7458; and their carcases^H5038 shall be meat^H3978 for the fowls^H5775 of heaven^H8064, and for the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776. ⁵For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Enter^H0935 not into the house^H1004 of mourning^H4798, neither go^H3212 to lament^H5594 nor bemoan^H5110 them: for I have taken away^H0622 my peace^H7965 from this people^H5971, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, even lovingkindness^H2617 and mercies^H7356. ⁶Both the great^H1419 and the small^H6996 shall die^H4191 in this land^H0776: they shall not be buried^H6912, neither shall men lament^H5594 for them, nor cut^H1413 themselves, nor make themselves bald^H7139 for them: ⁷Neither shall men tear^H6536 themselves for them in mourning^H0060, to comfort^H5162 them for the dead^H4191; neither shall men give them the cup^H3563 of consolation^H8575 to drink^H8248 for their father^H0001 or for their mother^H0517. ⁸Thou shalt not also go^H0935 into the house^H1004 of feasting^H4960, to sit^H3427 with them to eat^H0398 and to drink^H8354. ⁹For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will cause to cease^H7673 out of this place^H4725 in your eyes^H5869, and in your days^H3117, the voice^H6963 of mirth^H8342, and the voice^H6963 of gladness^H8057, the voice^H6963 of the bridegroom^H2860, and the voice^H6963 of the bride^H3618.

¹⁰And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew^H5046 this people^H5971 all these words^H1697, and they shall say^H0559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD^H3068 pronounced^H1696 all this great^H1419 evil^H7451 against us? or what is our iniquity^H5771? or what is our sin^H2403 that we have committed^H2398 against the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430? ¹¹Then shalt thou say^H0559 unto them, Because your fathers^H0001 have forsaken^H5800 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and have walked^H3212 after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430, and have served^H5647 them, and have worshipped^H7812 them, and have forsaken^H5800 me, and have not kept^H8104 my law^H8451; ¹²And ye have done^H6213 worse^H7489 than your fathers^H0001; for, behold^H2009, ye walk^H1980 every one^H0376 after^H0310 the imagination^H8307 of his evil^H7451 heart^H3820, that they may not hearken^H8085 unto me: ¹³Therefore will I cast^H2904 you out of this land^H0776 into a land^H0776 that ye know^H3045 not, neither ye nor your fathers^H0001; and there shall ye serve^H5647 other^H0312 gods^H0430 day^H3119 and night^H3915; where I will not shew^H5414 you favour^H2594.

¹⁴Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that it shall no more be said^H0559, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, that brought up^H5927 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; ¹⁵But, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, that brought up^H5927 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 from the land^H0776 of the north^H6828, and from all the lands^H0776 whither he had driven^H5080 them: and I will bring them again^H7725 into their land^H0127 that I gave^H5414 unto their fathers^H0001.

¹⁶Behold, I will send^H7971 for many^H7227 fishers^H1771, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and they shall fish^H1770 them; and after^H0310 will I send^H7971 for many^H7227 hunters^H6719, and they shall hunt^H6679 them from every mountain^H2022, and from every hill^H1389, and out of the holes^H5357 of the rocks^H5553. ¹⁷For mine eyes^H5869 are upon all their ways^H1870: they are not hid^H5641 from my face^H6440, neither is their iniquity^H5771 hid^H6845 from^H5048 mine eyes^H5869. ¹⁸And first^H7223 I will recompense^H7999 their iniquity^H5771 and their sin^H2403 double^H4932; because they have defiled^H2490 my land^H0776, they have filled^H4390 mine inheritance^H5159 with the carcases^H5038 of their detestable^H8251 and abominable things^H8441. ¹⁹O LORD^H3068, my strength^H5797, and my fortress^H4581, and my refuge^H4498 in the day^H3117 of affliction^H6869, the Gentiles^H1471 shall come^H0935 unto thee from the ends^H0657 of the earth^H0776, and shall say^H0559, Surely our fathers^H0001 have inherited^H5157 lies^H8267, vanity^H1892, and things wherein there is no profit^H3276. ²⁰Shall a man^H0120 make^H6213 gods^H0430 unto himself, and they are no gods^H0430? ²¹Therefore, behold, I will this once^H6471 cause them to know^H3045, I will cause them to know^H3045 mine hand^H3027 and my might^H1369; and they shall know^H3045 that my name^H8034 is The LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 17

¹The sin^H2403 of Judah^H3063 is written^H3789 with a pen^H5842 of iron^H1270, and with the point^H6856 of a diamond^H8068: it is graven^H2790 upon the table^H3871 of their heart^H3820, and upon the horns^H7161 of your altars^H4196; ²Whilst their children^H1121 remember^H2142 their altars^H4196 and their groves^H0842 by the green^H7488 trees^H6086 upon the high^H1364 hills^H1389. ³O my mountain^H2042 in the field^H7704, I will give^H5414 thy substance^H2428 and all thy treasures^H0214 to the spoil^H0957, and thy high places^H1116 for sin^H2403, throughout all thy borders^H1366. ⁴And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue^H8058 from thine heritage^H5159 that I gave^H5414 thee; and I will cause thee to serve^H5647 thine enemies^H0341 in the land^H0776 which thou knowest^H3045 not: for ye have kindled^H6919 a fire^H0784 in mine anger^H0639, which shall burn^H3344 for^H5704 ever^H5769.

⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Cursed^H0779 be the man^H1397 that trusteth^H0982 in man^H0120, and maketh^H7760 flesh^H1320 his arm^H2220, and whose heart^H3820 departeth^H5493 from the LORD^H3068. ⁶For he shall be like the heath^H6199 in the desert^H6160, and shall not see^H7200 when good^H2896 cometh^H0935; but shall inhabit^H7931 the parched places^H2788 in the wilderness^H4057, in a salt^H4420 land^H0776 and not inhabited^H3427. ⁷Blessed^H1288 is the man^H1397 that trusteth^H0982 in the LORD^H3068, and whose hope^H4009 the LORD^H3068 is. ⁸For he shall be as a tree^H6086 planted^H8362 by the waters^H4325, and that spreadeth out^H7971 her roots^H8328 by the river^H3105, and shall not see^H7200 when heat^H2527 cometh^H0935, but her leaf^H5929 shall be green^H7488; and shall not be careful^H1672 in the year^H8141 of drought^H1226, neither shall cease^H4185 from yielding^H6213 fruit^H6529.

⁹The heart^H3820 is deceitful^H6121 above all things , and desperately wicked^H0605: who can know^H3045 it? ¹⁰I the LORD^H3068 search^H2713 the heart^H3820, I try^H0974 the reins^H3629, even to give^H5414 every man^H0376 according to his ways^H1870, and according to the fruit^H6529 of his doings^H4611. ¹¹ As the partridge^H7124 sitteth^H1716 on eggs , and hatcheth^H3205 them not; so he that getteth^H6213 riches^H6239, and not by right^H4941, shall leave^H5800 them in the midst^H2677 of his days^H3117, and at his end^H0319 shall be a fool^H5036.

¹²A glorious^H3519 high^H4791 throne^H3678 from the beginning^H7223 is the place^H4725 of our sanctuary^H4720. ¹³O LORD^H3068, the hope^H4723 of Israel^H3478, all that forsake^H5800 thee shall be ashamed^H0954, and they that depart^H3249 from me^H5493 shall be written^H3789 in the earth^H0776, because they have forsaken^H5800 the LORD^H3068, the fountain^H4726 of living^H2416 waters^H4325. ¹⁴Heal^H7495 me, O LORD^H3068, and I shall be healed^H7495; save^H3467 me, and I shall be saved^H3467: for thou art my praise^H8416.

¹⁵Behold, they say^H0559 unto me, Where is the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068? let it come^H0935 now. ¹⁶As for me, I have not hastened^H0213 from being a pastor^H7462 to follow^H0310 thee: neither have I desired^H0183 the woeful^H0605 day^H3117; thou knowest^H3045: that which came out^H4161 of my lips^H8193 was right before^H5227 thee^H6440. ¹⁷Be not a terror^H4288 unto me: thou art my hope^H4268 in the day^H3117 of evil^H7451. ¹⁸Let them be confounded^H0954 that persecute^H7291 me, but let not me be confounded^H0954: let them be dismayed^H2865, but let not me be dismayed^H2865: bring^H0935 upon them the day^H3117 of evil^H7451, and destroy^H7665 them with double^H4932 destruction^H7670.

¹⁹Thus said^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me; Go^H1980 and stand^H5975 in the gate^H8179 of the children^H1121 of the people^H5971, whereby the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063 come in^H0935, and by the which they go out^H3318, and in all the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389; ²⁰And say^H0559 unto them, Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, ye kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and all Judah^H3063, and all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, that enter in^H0935 by these gates^H8179: ²¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Take heed^H8104 to yourselves^H5315, and bear^H5375 no burden^H4853 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, nor bring^H0935 it in by the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389; ²²Neither carry forth^H3318 a burden^H4853 out of your houses^H1004 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, neither do^H6213 ye any work^H4399, but hallow^H6942 ye the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, as I commanded^H6680 your fathers^H0001. ²³But they obeyed^H8085 not, neither inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241, but made their neck^H6203 stiff^H7185, that they might not hear^H8085, nor receive^H3947 instruction^H4148. ²⁴And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently^H8085 hearken^H8085 unto me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, to bring^H0935 in no burden^H4853 through the gates^H8179 of this city^H5892 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, but hallow^H6942 the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, to do^H6213 no^H1115 work^H4399 therein; ²⁵Then shall there enter^H0935 into the gates^H8179 of this city^H5892 kings^H4428 and princes^H8269 sitting^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, riding^H7392 in chariots^H7393 and on horses^H5483, they, and their princes^H8269, the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389: and this city^H5892 shall remain^H3427 for ever^H5769. ²⁶And they shall come^H0935 from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and from the places about^H5439 Jerusalem^H3389, and from the land^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144, and from the plain^H8219, and from the mountains^H2022, and from the south^H5045, bringing^H0935 burnt offerings^H5930, and sacrifices^H2077, and meat offerings^H4503, and incense^H3828, and bringing^H0935 sacrifices of praise^H8426, unto the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068. ²⁷But if ye will not hearken^H8085 unto me to hallow^H6942 the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117, and not to bear^H5375 a burden^H4853, even entering in^H0935 at the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389 on the sabbath^H7676 day^H3117; then will I kindle^H3341 a fire^H0784 in the gates^H8179 thereof, and it shall devour^H0398 the palaces^H0759 of Jerusalem^H3389, and it shall not be quenched^H3518.

Jeremiah: Chapter 18

¹The word^H1697 which came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Arise^H6965, and go down^H3381 to the potters^H3335 house^H1004, and there I will cause thee to hear^H8085 my words^H1697. ³Then I went down^H3381 to the potters^H3335 house^H1004, and, behold^H2009, he wrought^H6213 a work^H4399 on the wheels^H0070. ⁴And the vessel^H3627 that he made^H6213 of clay^H2563 was marred^H7843 in the hand^H3027 of the potter^H3335: so he made^H6213 it again^H7725 another^H0312 vessel^H3627, as seemed^H5869 good^H3474 to the potter^H3335 to make^H6213 it . ⁵Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to me, saying^H0559, ⁶O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, cannot^H3201 I do^H6213 with you as this potter^H3335? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. Behold, as the clay^H2563 is in the potters^H3335 hand^H3027, so are ye in mine hand^H3027, O house^H1004 of Israel^H3478. ⁷ At what instant^H7281 I shall speak^H1696 concerning a nation^H1471, and concerning a kingdom^H4467, to pluck up^H5428, and to pull down^H5422, and to destroy^H0006 it; ⁸If that nation^H1471, against whom I have pronounced^H1696, turn^H7725 from their evil^H7451, I will repent^H5162 of the evil^H7451 that I thought^H2803 to do^H6213 unto them. ⁹And at what instant^H7281 I shall speak^H1696 concerning a nation^H1471, and concerning a kingdom^H4467, to build^H1129 and to plant^H5193 it; ¹⁰If it do^H6213 evil^H7451 in my sight^H5869, that it obey^H8085 not my voice^H6963, then I will repent^H5162 of the good^H2896, wherewith I said^H0559 I would benefit^H3190 them.

¹¹Now therefore go to, speak^H0559 to the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, and to the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I frame^H3335 evil^H7451 against you, and devise^H2803 a device^H4284 against you: return^H7725 ye now every one^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and make your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611 good^H3190. ¹²And they said^H0559, There is no hope^H2976: but we will walk^H3212 after^H0310 our own devices^H4284, and we will every one^H0376 do^H6213 the imagination^H8307 of his evil^H7451 heart^H3820. ¹³Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Ask^H7592 ye now among the heathen^H1471, who hath heard^H8085 such things: the virgin^H1330 of Israel^H3478 hath done^H6213 a very^H3966 horrible thing^H8186. ¹⁴Will a man leave^H5800 the snow^H7950 of Lebanon^H3844 which cometh from the rock^H6697 of the field^H7704? or shall the cold^H7119 flowing^H5140 waters^H4325 that come from another place^H2114 be forsaken^H5428? ¹⁵Because my people^H5971 hath forgotten^H7911 me, they have burned incense^H6999 to vanity^H7723, and they have caused them to stumble^H3782 in their ways^H1870 from the ancient^H5769 paths^H7635, to walk^H3212 in paths^H5410, in a way^H1870 not cast up^H5549; ¹⁶To make^H7760 their land^H0776 desolate^H8047, and a perpetual^H5769 hissing^H8292; every one that passeth^H5674 thereby shall be astonished^H8074, and wag^H5110 his head^H7218. ¹⁷I will scatter^H6327 them as with an east^H6921 wind^H7307 before^H6440 the enemy^H0341; I will shew^H7200 them the back^H6203, and not the face^H6440, in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H0343.

¹⁸Then said^H0559 they, Come^H3212, and let us devise^H2803 devices^H4284 against Jeremiah^H3414; for the law^H8451 shall not perish^H0006 from the priest^H3548, nor counsel^H6098 from the wise^H2450, nor the word^H1697 from the prophet^H5030. Come^H3212, and let us smite^H5221 him with the tongue^H3956, and let us not give heed^H7181 to any of his words^H1697. ¹⁹Give heed^H7181 to me, O LORD^H3068, and hearken^H8085 to the voice^H6963 of them that contend^H3401 with me. ²⁰Shall evil^H7451 be recompensed^H7999 for good^H2896? for they have digged^H3738 a pit^H7745 for my soul^H5315. Remember^H2142 that I stood^H5975 before^H6440 thee to speak^H1696 good^H2896 for them, and to turn away^H7725 thy wrath^H2534 from them. ²¹Therefore deliver up^H5414 their children^H1121 to the famine^H7458, and pour out^H5064 their blood by the force^H3027 of the sword^H2719; and let their wives^H0802 be bereaved^H7909 of their children, and be widows^H0490; and let their men^H0582 be put^H2026 to death^H4194; let their young men^H0970 be slain^H5221 by the sword^H2719 in battle^H4421. ²²Let a cry^H2201 be heard^H8085 from their houses^H1004, when thou shalt bring^H0935 a troop^H1416 suddenly^H6597 upon them: for they have digged^H3738 a pit^H7745 to take^H3920 me, and hid^H2934 snares^H6341 for my feet^H7272. ²³Yet, LORD^H3068, thou knowest^H3045 all their counsel^H6098 against me to slay^H4194 me: forgive^H3722 not their iniquity^H5771, neither blot out^H4229 their sin^H2403 from thy sight^H6440, but let them be overthrown^H3782 before^H6440 thee; deal^H6213 thus with them in the time^H6256 of thine anger^H0639.

Jeremiah: Chapter 19

¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Go^H1980 and get^H7069 a potters^H3335 earthen^H2789 bottle^H1228, and take of the ancients^H2205 of the people^H5971, and of the ancients^H2205 of the priests^H3548; ²And go forth^H3318 unto the valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, which is by the entry^H6607 of the east^H2777 gate^H8179, and proclaim^H7121 there the words^H1697 that I shall tell^H1696 thee, ³And say^H0559, Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389; Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon this place^H4725, the which whosoever heareth^H8085, his ears^H0241 shall tingle^H6750. ⁴Because they have forsaken^H5800 me, and have estranged^H5234 this place^H4725, and have burned incense^H6999 in it unto other^H0312 gods^H0430, whom neither they nor their fathers^H0001 have known^H3045, nor the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and have filled^H4390 this place^H4725 with the blood^H1818 of innocents^H5355; ⁵They have built^H1129 also the high places^H1116 of Baal^H1168, to burn^H8313 their sons^H1121 with fire^H0784 for burnt offerings^H5930 unto Baal^H1168, which I commanded^H6680 not, nor spake^H1696 it , neither came^H5927 it into my mind^H3820: ⁶Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that this place^H4725 shall no more be called^H7121 Tophet^H8612, nor The valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, but The valley^H1516 of slaughter^H2028. ⁷And I will make void^H1238 the counsel^H6098 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389 in this place^H4725; and I will cause them to fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719 before^H6440 their enemies^H0341, and by the hands^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 their lives^H5315: and their carcases^H5038 will I give^H5414 to be meat^H3978 for the fowls^H5775 of the heaven^H8064, and for the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776. ⁸And I will make^H7760 this city^H5892 desolate^H8047, and an hissing^H8322; every one that passeth^H5674 thereby shall be astonished^H8074 and hiss^H8319 because of all the plagues^H4347 thereof. ⁹And I will cause them to eat^H0398 the flesh^H1320 of their sons^H1121 and the flesh^H1320 of their daughters^H1323, and they shall eat^H0398 every one^H0376 the flesh^H1320 of his friend^H7453 in the siege^H4692 and straitness^H4689, wherewith their enemies^H0341, and they that seek^H1245 their lives^H5315, shall straiten^H6693 them.

¹⁰Then shalt thou break^H7665 the bottle^H1228 in the sight^H5869 of the men^H0582 that go^H1980 with thee, ¹¹And shalt say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Even so^H3602 will I break^H7665 this people^H5971 and this city^H5892, as one breaketh^H7665 a potters^H3335 vessel^H3627, that cannot^H3201 be made whole again^H7495: and they shall bury^H6912 them in Tophet^H8612, till there be no place^H4725 to bury^H6912. ¹²Thus will I do^H6213 unto this place^H4725, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and to the inhabitants^H3427 thereof, and even make^H5414 this city^H5892 as Tophet^H8612: ¹³And the houses^H1004 of Jerusalem^H3389, and the houses^H1004 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, shall be defiled^H2931 as the place^H4725 of Tophet^H8612, because of all the houses^H1004 upon whose roofs^H1406 they have burned incense^H6999 unto all the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064, and have poured out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430. ¹⁴Then came^H0935 Jeremiah^H3414 from Tophet^H8612, whither the LORD^H3068 had sent^H7971 him to prophesy^H5012; and he stood^H5975 in the court^H2691 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004; and said^H0559 to all the people^H5971, ¹⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H0935 upon this city^H5892 and upon all her towns^H5892 all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696 against it, because they have hardened^H7185 their necks^H6203, that they might not hear^H8085 my words^H1697.

Jeremiah: Chapter 20

¹Now Pashur^H6583 the son^H1121 of Immer^H0564 the priest^H3548, who was also chief^H6496 governor^H5057 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, heard^H8085 that Jeremiah^H3414 prophesied^H5012 these things^H1697. ²Then Pashur^H6583 smote^H5221 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, and put^H5414 him in the stocks^H4115 that were in the high^H5945 gate^H8179 of Benjamin^H1144, which was by the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068. ³And it came to pass on the morrow^H4283, that Pashur^H6583 brought forth^H3318 Jeremiah^H3414 out of the stocks^H4115. Then said^H0559 Jeremiah^H3414 unto him, The LORD^H3068 hath not called^H7121 thy name^H8034 Pashur^H6583, but Magor-missabib^H4036. ⁴For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will make^H5414 thee a terror^H4032 to thyself, and to all thy friends^H0157: and they shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719 of their enemies^H0341, and thine eyes^H5869 shall behold^H7200 it: and I will give^H5414 all Judah^H3063 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall carry them captive^H1540 into Babylon^H0894, and shall slay^H5221 them with the sword^H2719. ⁵Moreover I will deliver^H5414 all the strength^H2633 of this city^H5892, and all the labours^H3018 thereof, and all the precious things^H3366 thereof, and all the treasures^H0214 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063 will I give^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H0341, which shall spoil^H0962 them, and take^H3947 them, and carry^H0935 them to Babylon^H0894. ⁶And thou, Pashur^H6583, and all that dwell^H3427 in thine house^H1004 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H7628: and thou shalt come^H0935 to Babylon^H0894, and there thou shalt die^H4191, and shalt be buried^H6912 there, thou, and all thy friends^H0157, to whom thou hast prophesied^H5012 lies^H8267.

⁷O LORD^H3068, thou hast deceived^H6601 me, and I was deceived^H6601: thou art stronger^H2388 than I, and hast prevailed^H3201: I am in derision^H7814 daily^H3117, every one mocketh^H3932 me. ⁸For since^H1767 I spake^H1696, I cried out^H2199, I cried^H7121 violence^H2555 and spoil^H7701; because the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 was made a reproach^H2781 unto me, and a derision^H7047, daily^H3117. ⁹Then I said^H0559, I will not make mention^H2142 of him, nor speak^H1696 any more in his name^H8034. But his word was in mine heart^H3820 as a burning^H1197 fire^H0784 shut up^H6113 in my bones^H6106, and I was weary^H3811 with forbearing^H3557, and I could^H3201 not stay .

¹⁰For I heard^H8085 the defaming^H1681 of many^H7227, fear^H4032 on every side^H5439. Report^H5046, say they , and we will report^H5046 it. All my familiars^H0582 watched^H8104 for my halting^H6763, saying , Peradventure he will be enticed^H6601, and we shall prevail^H3201 against him, and we shall take^H3947 our revenge^H5360 on him. ¹¹But the LORD^H3068 is with me as a mighty^H1368 terrible one^H6184: therefore my persecutors^H7291 shall stumble^H3782, and they shall not prevail^H3201: they shall be greatly^H3966 ashamed^H0954; for they shall not prosper^H7919: their everlasting^H5769 confusion^H3639 shall never be forgotten^H7911. ¹²But, O LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that triest^H0974 the righteous^H6662, and seest^H7200 the reins^H3629 and the heart^H3820, let me see^H7200 thy vengeance^H5360 on them: for unto thee have I opened^H1540 my cause^H7379. ¹³Sing^H7891 unto the LORD^H3068, praise^H1984 ye the LORD^H3068: for he hath delivered^H5337 the soul^H5315 of the poor^H0034 from the hand^H3027 of evildoers^H7489.

¹⁴Cursed^H0779 be the day^H3117 wherein I was born^H3205: let not the day^H3117 wherein my mother^H0517 bare^H3205 me be blessed^H1288. ¹⁵Cursed^H0779 be the man^H0376 who brought tidings^H1319 to my father^H0001, saying^H0559, A man^H2145 child^H1121 is born^H3205 unto thee; making him very^H8055 glad^H8055. ¹⁶And let that man^H0376 be as the cities^H5892 which the LORD^H3068 overthrew^H2015, and repented^H5162 not: and let him hear^H8085 the cry^H2201 in the morning^H1242, and the shouting^H8643 at noontide^H6256; ¹⁷Because he slew^H4191 me not from the womb^H7358; or that my mother^H0517 might have been my grave^H6913, and her womb^H7358 to be always^H5769 great^H2030 with me . ¹⁸Wherefore came I forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358 to see^H7200 labour^H5999 and sorrow^H3015, that my days^H3117 should be consumed^H3615 with shame^H1322?

Jeremiah: Chapter 21

¹The word^H1697 which came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, when king^H4428 Zedekiah^H6667 sent^H7971 unto him Pashur^H6583 the son^H1121 of Melchiah^H4441, and Zephaniah^H6846 the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4641 the priest^H3548, saying^H0559, ²Enquire^H1875, I pray thee, of the LORD^H3068 for us^H1157; for Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 maketh war^H3898 against us; if so be that the LORD^H3068 will deal^H6213 with us according to all his wondrous works^H6381, that he may go up^H5927 from us.

³Then said^H0559 Jeremiah^H3414 unto them, Thus shall ye say^H0559 to Zedekiah^H6667: ⁴Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will turn back^H5437 the weapons^H3627 of war^H4421 that are in your hands^H3027, wherewith ye fight^H3898 against the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and against the Chaldeans^H3778, which besiege^H6696 you without^H2351 the walls^H2346, and I will assemble^H0622 them into the midst^H8432 of this city^H5892. ⁵And I myself will fight^H3898 against you with an outstretched^H5186 hand^H3027 and with a strong^H2389 arm^H2220, even in anger^H0639, and in fury^H2534, and in great^H1419 wrath^H7110. ⁶And I will smite^H5221 the inhabitants^H3427 of this city^H5892, both man^H0120 and beast^H0929: they shall die^H4191 of a great^H1419 pestilence^H1698. ⁷And afterward^H0310, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, I will deliver^H5414 Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and his servants^H5650, and the people^H5971, and such as are left^H7604 in this city^H5892 from the pestilence^H1698, from the sword^H2719, and from the famine^H7458, into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H0341, and into the hand^H3027 of those that seek^H1245 their life^H5315: and he shall smite^H5221 them with the edge^H6310 of the sword^H2719; he shall not spare^H2347 them, neither have pity^H2550, nor have mercy^H7355.

⁸And unto this people^H5971 thou shalt say^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I set^H5414 before^H6440 you the way^H1870 of life^H2416, and the way^H1870 of death^H4194. ⁹He that abideth^H3427 in this city^H5892 shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719, and by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698: but he that goeth out^H3318, and falleth^H5307 to the Chaldeans^H3778 that besiege^H6696 you, he shall live^H2421, and his life^H5315 shall be unto him for a prey^H7998. ¹⁰For I have set^H7760 my face^H6440 against this city^H5892 for evil^H7451, and not for good^H2896, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: it shall be given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall burn^H8313 it with fire^H0784.

¹¹And touching the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, say , Hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068; ¹²O house^H1004 of David^H1732, thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Execute^H1777 judgment^H4941 in the morning^H1242, and deliver^H5337 him that is spoiled^H1497 out of the hand^H3027 of the oppressor^H6231, lest my fury^H2534 go out^H3318 like fire^H0784, and burn^H1197 that none can quench^H3518 it , because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611. ¹³Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant^H3427 of the valley^H6010, and rock^H6697 of the plain^H4334, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; which say^H0559, Who shall come down^H5181 against us? or who shall enter^H0935 into our habitations^H4585? ¹⁴But I will punish^H6485 you according to the fruit^H6529 of your doings^H4611, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: and I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H0784 in the forest^H3293 thereof, and it shall devour^H0398 all things round about^H5439 it.

Jeremiah: Chapter 22

¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Go down^H3381 to the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and speak^H1696 there this word^H1697, ²And say^H0559, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that sittest^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, thou, and thy servants^H5650, and thy people^H5971 that enter^H0935 in by these gates^H8179: ³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Execute^H6213 ye judgment^H4941 and righteousness^H6666, and deliver^H5337 the spoiled^H1497 out of the hand^H3027 of the oppressor^H6216: and do no wrong^H3238, do no violence^H2554 to the stranger^H1616, the fatherless^H3490, nor the widow^H0490, neither shed^H8210 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 in this place^H4725. ⁴For if ye do^H6213 this thing^H1697 indeed^H6213, then shall there enter in^H0935 by the gates^H8179 of this house^H1004 kings^H4428 sitting^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, riding^H7392 in chariots^H7393 and on horses^H5483, he, and his servants^H5650, and his people^H5971. ⁵But if ye will not hear^H8085 these words^H1697, I swear^H7650 by myself, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that this house^H1004 shall become a desolation^H2723. ⁶For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto the kings^H4428 house^H1004 of Judah^H3063; Thou art Gilead^H1568 unto me, and the head^H7218 of Lebanon^H3844: yet surely I will make^H7896 thee a wilderness^H4057, and cities^H5892 which are not inhabited^H3427. ⁷And I will prepare^H6942 destroyers^H7843 against thee, every one^H0376 with his weapons^H3627: and they shall cut down^H3772 thy choice^H4005 cedars^H0730, and cast^H5307 them into the fire^H0784. ⁸And many^H7227 nations^H1471 shall pass^H5674 by this city^H5892, and they shall say^H0559 every man^H0376 to his neighbour^H7453, Wherefore hath the LORD^H3068 done^H6213 thus unto this great^H1419 city^H5892? ⁹Then they shall answer^H0559, Because they have forsaken^H5800 the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430, and worshipped^H7812 other^H0312 gods^H0430, and served^H5647 them.

¹⁰Weep^H1058 ye not for the dead^H4191, neither bemoan^H5110 him: but weep^H1058 sore^H1058 for him that goeth away^H1980: for he shall return^H7725 no more, nor see^H7200 his native^H4138 country^H0776. ¹¹For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 touching^H0413 Shallum^H7967 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, which reigned^H4427 instead of Josiah^H2977 his father^H0001, which went forth^H3318 out of this place^H4725; He shall not return^H7725 thither any more: ¹²But he shall die^H4191 in the place^H4725 whither they have led him captive^H1540, and shall see^H7200 this land^H0776 no more.

¹³Woe^H1945 unto him that buildeth^H1129 his house^H1004 by^H3808 unrighteousness^H6664, and his chambers^H5944 by wrong^H4941; that useth his neighbours^H7453 service^H5647 without wages^H2600, and giveth^H5414 him not for his work^H6467; ¹⁴That saith^H0559, I will build^H1129 me a wide^H4060 house^H1004 and large^H7304 chambers^H5944, and cutteth him out^H7167 windows^H2474; and it is cieled^H5603 with cedar^H0730, and painted^H4886 with vermilion^H8350. ¹⁵Shalt thou reign^H4427, because thou closest^H8474 thyself in cedar^H0730? did not thy father^H0001 eat^H0398 and drink^H8354, and do^H6213 judgment^H4941 and justice^H6666, and then it was well^H2896 with him? ¹⁶He judged^H1777 the cause^H1779 of the poor^H6041 and needy^H0034; then it was well^H2896 with him: was not this to know^H1847 me? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁷But thine eyes^H5869 and thine heart^H3820 are not but for thy covetousness^H1215, and for to shed^H8210 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818, and for oppression^H6233, and for violence^H4835, to do^H6213 it . ¹⁸Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 concerning Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; They shall not lament^H5594 for him, saying , Ah^H1945 my brother^H0251! or, Ah^H1945 sister^H0269! they shall not lament^H5594 for him, saying , Ah^H1945 lord^H0113! or, Ah^H1945 his glory^H1935! ¹⁹He shall be buried^H6912 with the burial^H6900 of an ass^H2543, drawn^H5498 and cast forth^H7993 beyond^H1973 the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389.

²⁰Go up^H5927 to Lebanon^H3844, and cry^H6817; and lift up^H5414 thy voice^H6963 in Bashan^H1316, and cry^H6817 from the passages^H5676: for all thy lovers^H0157 are destroyed^H7665. ²¹I spake^H1696 unto thee in thy prosperity^H7962; but thou saidst^H0559, I will not hear^H8085. This hath been thy manner^H1870 from thy youth^H5271, that thou obeyedst^H8085 not my voice^H6963. ²²The wind^H7307 shall eat up^H7462 all thy pastors^H7462, and thy lovers^H0157 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamed^H0954 and confounded^H3637 for all thy wickedness^H7451. ²³O inhabitant^H3427 of Lebanon^H3844, that makest thy nest^H7077 in the cedars^H0730, how gracious^H2603 shalt thou be when pangs^H2256 come^H0935 upon thee, the pain^H2427 as of a woman in travail^H3205! ²⁴ As I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, though Coniah^H3659 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 were the signet^H2368 upon my right^H3225 hand^H3027, yet would I pluck^H5423 thee thence; ²⁵And I will give^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 thy life^H5315, and into the hand^H3027 of them whose face^H6440 thou fearest^H3016, even into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778. ²⁶And I will cast thee out^H2904, and thy mother^H0517 that bare^H3205 thee, into another^H0312 country^H0776, where ye were not born^H3205; and there shall ye die^H4191. ²⁷But to the land^H0776 whereunto they desire^H5375 to return^H7725, thither shall they not return^H7725. ²⁸ Is this man^H0376 Coniah^H3659 a despised^H0959 broken^H5310 idol^H6089? is he a vessel^H3627 wherein is no pleasure^H2656? wherefore are they cast out^H7993, he and his seed^H2233, and are cast^H2904 into a land^H0776 which they know^H3045 not? ²⁹O earth^H0776, earth^H0776, earth^H0776, hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068. ³⁰Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Write^H3789 ye this man^H0376 childless^H6185, a man^H1397 that shall not prosper^H6743 in his days^H3117: for no man^H0376 of his seed^H2233 shall prosper^H6743, sitting^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, and ruling^H4910 any more in Judah^H3063.

Jeremiah: Chapter 23

¹Woe^H1945 be unto the pastors^H7462 that destroy^H0006 and scatter^H6327 the sheep^H6629 of my pasture^H4830! saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478 against the pastors^H7462 that feed^H7462 my people^H5971; Ye have scattered^H6327 my flock^H6629, and driven them away^H5080, and have not visited^H6485 them: behold, I will visit^H6485 upon you the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³And I will gather^H6908 the remnant^H7611 of my flock^H6629 out of all countries^H0776 whither I have driven^H5080 them, and will bring them again^H7725 to their folds^H5116; and they shall be fruitful^H6509 and increase^H7235. ⁴And I will set up^H6965 shepherds^H7462 over them which shall feed^H7462 them: and they shall fear^H3372 no more, nor be dismayed^H2865, neither shall they be lacking^H6485, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

⁵Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will raise^H6965 unto David^H1732 a righteous^H6662 Branch^H6780, and a King^H4428 shall reign^H4427 and prosper^H7919, and shall execute^H6213 judgment^H4941 and justice^H6666 in the earth^H0776. ⁶In his days^H3117 Judah^H3063 shall be saved^H3467, and Israel^H3478 shall dwell^H7931 safely^H0983: and this is his name^H8034 whereby he shall be called^H7121, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS^H3072. ⁷Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that they shall no more say^H0559, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, which brought up^H5927 the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; ⁸But, The LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, which brought up^H5927 and which led^H0935 the seed^H2233 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 out of the north^H6828 country^H0776, and from all countries^H0776 whither I had driven^H5080 them; and they shall dwell^H3427 in their own land^H0127.

⁹Mine heart^H3820 within^H7130 me is broken^H7665 because of the prophets^H5030; all my bones^H6106 shake^H7363; I am like a drunken^H7910 man^H0376, and like a man^H1397 whom wine^H3196 hath overcome^H5674, because^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, and because of the words^H1697 of his holiness^H6944. ¹⁰For the land^H0776 is full^H4390 of adulterers^H5003; for because^H6440 of swearing^H0423 the land^H0776 mourneth^H0056; the pleasant places^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057 are dried up^H3001, and their course^H4794 is evil^H7451, and their force^H1369 is not right. ¹¹For both prophet^H5030 and priest^H3548 are profane^H2610; yea, in my house^H1004 have I found^H4672 their wickedness^H7451, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹²Wherefore their way^H1870 shall be unto them as slippery^H2519 ways in the darkness^H0653: they shall be driven on^H1760, and fall^H5307 therein: for I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon them, even the year^H8141 of their visitation^H6486, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹³And I have seen^H7200 folly^H8604 in the prophets^H5030 of Samaria^H8111; they prophesied^H5012 in Baal^H1168, and caused my people^H5971 Israel^H3478 to err^H8582. ¹⁴I have seen^H7200 also in the prophets^H5030 of Jerusalem^H3389 an horrible thing^H8186: they commit adultery^H5003, and walk^H1980 in lies^H8267: they strengthen^H2388 also the hands^H3027 of evildoers^H7489, that none^H0376 doth return^H7725 from his wickedness^H7451: they are all of them unto me as Sodom^H5467, and the inhabitants^H3427 thereof as Gomorrah^H6017. ¹⁵Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 concerning the prophets^H5030; Behold, I will feed^H0398 them with wormwood^H3939, and make them drink^H8248 the water^H4325 of gall^H7219: for from the prophets^H5030 of Jerusalem^H3389 is profaneness^H2613 gone forth^H3318 into all the land^H0776. ¹⁶Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Hearken^H8085 not unto the words^H1697 of the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 unto you: they make you vain^H1891: they speak^H1696 a vision^H2377 of their own heart^H3820, and not out of the mouth^H6310 of the LORD^H3068. ¹⁷They say^H0559 still^H0559 unto them that despise^H5006 me, The LORD^H3068 hath said^H1696, Ye shall have peace^H7965; and they say^H0559 unto every one that walketh^H1980 after the imagination^H8307 of his own heart^H3820, No evil^H7451 shall come^H0935 upon you. ¹⁸For who hath stood^H5975 in the counsel^H5475 of the LORD^H3068, and hath perceived^H7200 and heard^H8085 his word^H1697? who hath marked^H7181 his word^H1697, and heard^H8085 it ? ¹⁹Behold, a whirlwind^H5591 of the LORD^H3068 is gone forth^H3318 in fury^H2534, even a grievous^H2342 whirlwind^H5591: it shall fall grievously^H2342 upon the head^H7218 of the wicked^H7563. ²⁰The anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068 shall not return^H7725, until he have executed^H6213, and till he have performed^H6965 the thoughts^H4209 of his heart^H3820: in the latter^H0319 days^H3117 ye shall consider^H0995 it perfectly^H0998. ²¹I have not sent^H7971 these prophets^H5030, yet they ran^H7323: I have not spoken^H1696 to them, yet they prophesied^H5012. ²²But if they had stood^H5975 in my counsel^H5475, and had caused my people^H5971 to hear^H8085 my words^H1697, then they should have turned^H7725 them from their evil^H7451 way^H1870, and from the evil^H7455 of their doings^H4611. ²³ Am I a God^H0430 at hand^H7138, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and not a God^H0430 afar off^H7350? ²⁴Can any^H0376 hide^H5641 himself in secret places^H4565 that I shall not see^H7200 him? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. Do not I fill^H4392 heaven^H8064 and earth^H0776? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²⁵I have heard^H8085 what the prophets^H5030 said^H0559, that prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267 in my name^H8034, saying^H0559, I have dreamed^H2492, I have dreamed^H2492. ²⁶How long shall this be^H3426 in the heart^H3820 of the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267? yea, they are prophets^H5030 of the deceit^H8649 of their own heart^H3820; ²⁷Which think^H2803 to cause my people^H5971 to forget^H7911 my name^H8034 by their dreams^H2472 which they tell^H5608 every man^H0376 to his neighbour^H7453, as their fathers^H0001 have forgotten^H7911 my name^H8034 for Baal^H1168. ²⁸The prophet^H5030 that hath a dream^H2472, let him tell^H5608 a dream^H2472; and he that hath my word^H1697, let him speak^H1696 my word^H1697 faithfully^H0571. What is the chaff^H8401 to the wheat^H1250? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²⁹ Is not my word^H1697 like^H3541 as a fire^H0784? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and like a hammer^H6360 that breaketh^H6327 the rock^H5553 in pieces^H6327? ³⁰Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets^H5030, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that steal^H1589 my words^H1697 every one^H0376 from his neighbour^H7453. ³¹Behold, I am against the prophets^H5030, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that use^H3947 their tongues^H3956, and say^H5001, He saith^H5002. ³²Behold, I am against them that prophesy^H5012 false^H8267 dreams^H2472, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and do tell^H5608 them, and cause my people^H5971 to err^H8582 by their lies^H8267, and by their lightness^H6350; yet I sent^H7971 them not, nor commanded^H6680 them: therefore they shall not profit^H3276 this people^H5971 at all^H3276, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

³³And when this people^H5971, or the prophet^H5030, or a priest^H3548, shall ask^H7592 thee, saying^H0559, What is the burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068? thou shalt then say^H0559 unto them, What burden^H4853? I will even forsake^H5203 you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³⁴And as for the prophet^H5030, and the priest^H3548, and the people^H5971, that shall say^H0559, The burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068, I will even punish^H6485 that man^H0376 and his house^H1004. ³⁵Thus shall ye say^H0559 every one^H0376 to his neighbour^H7453, and every one^H0376 to his brother^H0251, What hath the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030? and, What hath the LORD^H3068 spoken^H1696? ³⁶And the burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068 shall ye mention^H2142 no more: for every mans^H0376 word^H1697 shall be his burden^H4853; for ye have perverted^H2015 the words^H1697 of the living^H2416 God^H0430, of the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 our God^H0430. ³⁷Thus shalt thou say^H0559 to the prophet^H5030, What hath the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 thee? and, What hath the LORD^H3068 spoken^H1696? ³⁸But^H0518 since ye say^H0559, The burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068; therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Because ye say^H0559 this word^H1697, The burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068, and I have sent^H7971 unto you, saying^H0559, Ye shall not say^H0559, The burden^H4853 of the LORD^H3068; ³⁹Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly^H5377 forget^H5382 you, and I will forsake^H5203 you, and the city^H5892 that I gave^H5414 you and your fathers^H0001, and cast you out of my presence^H6440: ⁴⁰And I will bring^H5414 an everlasting^H5769 reproach^H2781 upon you, and a perpetual^H5769 shame^H3640, which shall not be forgotten^H7911.

Jeremiah: Chapter 24

¹The LORD^H3068 shewed^H7200 me, and, behold, two^H8147 baskets^H1736 of figs^H8384 were set^H3259 before^H6440 the temple^H1964 of the LORD^H3068, after^H0310 that Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 had carried away captive^H1540 Jeconiah^H3204 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and the princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063, with the carpenters^H2796 and smiths^H4525, from Jerusalem^H3389, and had brought^H0935 them to Babylon^H0894. ²One^H0259 basket^H1731 had very^H3966 good^H2896 figs^H8384, even like the figs^H8384 that are first ripe^H1073: and the other^H0259 basket^H1731 had very^H3966 naughty^H7451 figs^H8384, which could not be eaten^H0398, they were so bad^H7455. ³Then said^H0559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, What seest^H7200 thou, Jeremiah^H3414? And I said^H0559, Figs^H8384; the good^H2896 figs^H8384, very^H3966 good^H2896; and the evil^H7451, very^H3966 evil^H7451, that cannot be eaten^H0398, they are so evil^H7455.

⁴Again the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H0559, ⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Like these good^H2896 figs^H8384, so will I acknowledge^H5234 them that are carried away captive^H1546 of Judah^H3063, whom I have sent^H7971 out of this place^H4725 into the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778 for their good^H2896. ⁶For I will set^H7760 mine eyes^H5869 upon them for good^H2896, and I will bring them again^H7725 to this land^H0776: and I will build^H1129 them, and not pull them down^H2040; and I will plant^H5193 them, and not pluck them up^H5428. ⁷And I will give^H5414 them an heart^H3820 to know^H3045 me, that I am the LORD^H3068: and they shall be my people^H5971, and I will be their God^H0430: for they shall return^H7725 unto me with their whole heart^H3820.

⁸And as the evil^H7451 figs^H8384, which cannot be eaten^H0398, they are so evil^H7455; surely thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, So will I give^H5414 Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and his princes^H8269, and the residue^H7611 of Jerusalem^H3389, that remain^H7604 in this land^H0776, and them that dwell^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714: ⁹And I will deliver^H5414 them to be removed^H2189 into all the kingdoms^H4467 of the earth^H0776 for their hurt^H7451, to be a reproach^H2781 and a proverb^H4912, a taunt^H8148 and a curse^H7045, in all places^H4725 whither I shall drive^H5080 them. ¹⁰And I will send^H7971 the sword^H2719, the famine^H7458, and the pestilence^H1698, among them, till they be consumed^H8552 from off the land^H0127 that I gave^H5414 unto them and to their fathers^H0001.

Jeremiah: Chapter 25

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning all the people^H5971 of Judah^H3063 in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that was the first^H7224 year^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894; ²The which Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 spake^H1696 unto all the people^H5971 of Judah^H3063, and to all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H0559, ³From the thirteenth^H7969 year^H8141 of Josiah^H2977 the son^H1121 of Amon^H0526 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, even unto this day^H3117, that is the three^H7969 and twentieth^H6242 year^H8141, the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 hath come unto me, and I have spoken^H1696 unto you, rising early^H7925 and speaking^H1696; but ye have not hearkened^H8085. ⁴And the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 unto you all his servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them; but ye have not hearkened^H8085, nor inclined^H5186 your ear^H0241 to hear^H8085. ⁵They said^H0559, Turn ye again^H7725 now every one^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and from the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611, and dwell^H3427 in the land^H0127 that the LORD^H3068 hath given^H5414 unto you and to your fathers^H0001 for^H5704 ever^H5769 and ever^H5769: ⁶And go^H3212 not after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430 to serve^H5647 them, and to worship^H7812 them, and provoke me not to anger^H3707 with the works^H4639 of your hands^H3027; and I will do you no hurt^H7489. ⁷Yet ye have not hearkened^H8085 unto me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; that ye might provoke me to anger^H3707 with the works^H4639 of your hands^H3027 to your own hurt^H7451.

⁸Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Because ye have not heard^H8085 my words^H1697, ⁹Behold, I will send^H7971 and take^H3947 all the families^H4940 of the north^H6828, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, my servant^H5650, and will bring^H0935 them against this land^H0776, and against the inhabitants^H3427 thereof, and against all these nations^H1471 round about^H5439, and will utterly destroy^H2763 them, and make^H7760 them an astonishment^H8047, and an hissing^H8322, and perpetual^H5769 desolations^H2723. ¹⁰Moreover I will take^H0006 from them the voice^H6963 of mirth^H8342, and the voice^H6963 of gladness^H8057, the voice^H6963 of the bridegroom^H2860, and the voice^H6963 of the bride^H3618, the sound^H6963 of the millstones^H7347, and the light^H0216 of the candle^H5216. ¹¹And this whole land^H0776 shall be a desolation^H2723, and an astonishment^H8047; and these nations^H1471 shall serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 seventy^H7657 years^H8141.

¹²And it shall come to pass, when seventy^H7657 years^H8141 are accomplished^H4390, that I will punish^H6485 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and that nation^H1471, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, for their iniquity^H5771, and the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and will make^H7760 it perpetual^H5769 desolations^H8077. ¹³And I will bring^H0935 upon that land^H0776 all my words^H1697 which I have pronounced^H1696 against it, even all that is written^H3789 in this book^H5612, which Jeremiah^H3414 hath prophesied^H5012 against all the nations^H1471. ¹⁴For many^H7227 nations^H1471 and great^H1419 kings^H4428 shall serve^H5647 themselves of them also: and I will recompense^H7999 them according to their deeds^H6467, and according to the works^H4639 of their own hands^H3027.

¹⁵For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478 unto me; Take^H3947 the wine^H3196 cup^H3563 of this fury^H2534 at my hand^H3027, and cause all the nations^H1471, to whom I send^H7971 thee, to drink^H8248 it. ¹⁶And they shall drink^H8354, and be moved^H1607, and be mad^H1984, because^H6440 of the sword^H2719 that I will send^H7971 among them. ¹⁷Then took^H3947 I the cup^H3563 at the LORDs^H3068 hand^H3027, and made all the nations^H1471 to drink^H8248, unto whom the LORD^H3068 had sent^H7971 me: ¹⁸ To wit , Jerusalem^H3389, and the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and the kings^H4428 thereof, and the princes^H8269 thereof, to make^H5414 them a desolation^H2723, an astonishment^H8047, an hissing^H8322, and a curse^H7045; as it is this day^H3117; ¹⁹ Pharaoh^H6547 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, and his servants^H5650, and his princes^H8269, and all his people^H5971; ²⁰And all the mingled^H6153 people, and all the kings^H4428 of the land^H0776 of Uz^H5780, and all the kings^H4428 of the land^H0776 of the Philistines^H6430, and Ashkelon^H0831, and Azzah^H5804, and Ekron^H6138, and the remnant^H7611 of Ashdod^H0795, ²¹ Edom^H0123, and Moab^H4124, and the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, ²²And all the kings^H4428 of Tyrus^H6865, and all the kings^H4428 of Zidon^H6721, and the kings^H4428 of the isles^H0339 which are beyond^H5676 the sea^H3220, ²³ Dedan^H1719, and Tema^H8485, and Buz^H0938, and all that are in the utmost^H7112 corners^H6285, ²⁴And all the kings^H4428 of Arabia^H6152, and all the kings^H4428 of the mingled people^H6153 that dwell^H7931 in the desert^H4057, ²⁵And all the kings^H4428 of Zimri^H2174, and all the kings^H4428 of Elam^H5867, and all the kings^H4428 of the Medes^H4074, ²⁶And all the kings^H4428 of the north^H6828, far^H7350 and near^H7138, one^H0376 with another^H0251, and all the kingdoms^H4467 of the world^H0776, which are upon the face^H6440 of the earth^H0127: and the king^H4428 of Sheshach^H8347 shall drink^H8354 after^H0310 them. ²⁷Therefore thou shalt say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Drink^H8354 ye, and be drunken^H7937, and spue^H7006, and fall^H5307, and rise^H6965 no more, because^H6440 of the sword^H2719 which I will send^H7971 among you. ²⁸And it shall be, if they refuse^H3985 to take^H3947 the cup^H3563 at thine hand^H3027 to drink^H8354, then shalt thou say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Ye shall certainly^H8354 drink^H8354. ²⁹For, lo, I begin^H2490 to bring evil^H7489 on the city^H5892 which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, and should ye be utterly^H5352 unpunished^H5352? Ye shall not be unpunished^H5352: for I will call^H7121 for a sword^H2719 upon all the inhabitants^H3427 of the earth^H0776, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.

³⁰Therefore prophesy^H5012 thou against them all these words^H1697, and say^H0559 unto them, The LORD^H3068 shall roar^H7580 from on high^H4791, and utter^H5414 his voice^H6963 from his holy^H6944 habitation^H4583; he shall mightily^H7580 roar^H7580 upon his habitation^H5116; he shall give^H6030 a shout^H1959, as they that tread^H1869 the grapes , against all the inhabitants^H3427 of the earth^H0776. ³¹A noise^H7588 shall come^H0935 even to the ends^H7097 of the earth^H0776; for the LORD^H3068 hath a controversy^H7379 with the nations^H1471, he will plead^H8199 with all flesh^H1320; he will give^H5414 them that are wicked^H7563 to the sword^H2719, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Behold, evil^H7451 shall go forth^H3318 from nation^H1471 to nation^H1471, and a great^H1419 whirlwind^H5591 shall be raised up^H5782 from the coasts^H3411 of the earth^H0776. ³³And the slain^H2491 of the LORD^H3068 shall be at that day^H3117 from one end^H7097 of the earth^H0776 even unto the other end^H7097 of the earth^H0776: they shall not be lamented^H5594, neither gathered^H0622, nor buried^H6912; they shall be dung^H1828 upon^H6440 the ground^H0127.

³⁴Howl^H3213, ye shepherds^H7462, and cry^H2199; and wallow^H6428 yourselves in the ashes , ye principal^H0117 of the flock^H6629: for the days^H3117 of your slaughter^H2873 and of your dispersions^H8600 are accomplished^H4390; and ye shall fall^H5307 like a pleasant^H2532 vessel^H3627. ³⁵And the shepherds^H7462 shall have no way^H4498 to flee^H0006, nor the principal^H0117 of the flock^H6629 to escape^H6413. ³⁶A voice^H6963 of the cry^H6818 of the shepherds^H7462, and an howling^H3215 of the principal^H0117 of the flock^H6629, shall be heard: for the LORD^H3068 hath spoiled^H7703 their pasture^H4830. ³⁷And the peaceable^H7965 habitations^H4999 are cut down^H1826 because^H6440 of the fierce^H2740 anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068. ³⁸He hath forsaken^H5800 his covert^H5520, as the lion^H3715: for their land^H0776 is desolate^H8047 because^H6440 of the fierceness^H2740 of the oppressor^H3238, and because^H6440 of his fierce^H2740 anger^H0639.

Jeremiah: Chapter 26

¹In the beginning^H7225 of the reign^H4468 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 came this word^H1697 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Stand^H5975 in the court^H2691 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, and speak^H1696 unto all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, which come^H0935 to worship^H7812 in the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, all the words^H1697 that I command^H6680 thee to speak^H1696 unto them; diminish^H1639 not a word^H1697: ³If so be they will hearken^H8085, and turn^H7725 every man^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, that I may repent^H5162 me of the evil^H7451, which I purpose^H2803 to do^H6213 unto them because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of their doings^H4611. ⁴And thou shalt say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; If ye will not hearken^H8085 to me, to walk^H3212 in my law^H8451, which I have set^H5414 before^H6440 you, ⁵To hearken^H8085 to the words^H1697 of my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, whom I sent^H7971 unto you, both rising up early^H7925, and sending^H7971 them , but ye have not hearkened^H8085; ⁶Then will I make^H5414 this house^H1004 like Shiloh^H7887, and will make^H5414 this city^H5892 a curse^H7045 to all the nations^H1471 of the earth^H0776.

⁷So the priests^H3548 and the prophets^H5030 and all the people^H5971 heard^H8085 Jeremiah^H3414 speaking^H1696 these words^H1697 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068.

⁸Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah^H3414 had made an end^H3615 of speaking^H1696 all that the LORD^H3068 had commanded^H6680 him to speak^H1696 unto all the people^H5971, that the priests^H3548 and the prophets^H5030 and all the people^H5971 took^H8610 him, saying^H0559, Thou shalt surely^H4191 die^H4191. ⁹Why hast thou prophesied^H5012 in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, This house^H1004 shall be like Shiloh^H7887, and this city^H5892 shall be desolate^H2717 without an inhabitant^H3427? And all the people^H5971 were gathered^H6950 against Jeremiah^H3414 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁰When the princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063 heard^H8085 these things^H1697, then they came up^H5927 from the kings^H4428 house^H1004 unto the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and sat down^H3427 in the entry^H6607 of the new^H2319 gate^H8179 of the LORDs^H3068 house . ¹¹Then spake^H0559 the priests^H3548 and the prophets^H5030 unto the princes^H8269 and to all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, This man^H0376 is worthy^H4941 to die^H4194; for he hath prophesied^H5012 against this city^H5892, as ye have heard^H8085 with your ears^H0241.

¹²Then spake^H0559 Jeremiah^H3414 unto all the princes^H8269 and to all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, The LORD^H3068 sent^H7971 me to prophesy^H5012 against this house^H1004 and against this city^H5892 all the words^H1697 that ye have heard^H8085. ¹³Therefore now amend^H3190 your ways^H1870 and your doings^H4611, and obey^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430; and the LORD^H3068 will repent^H5162 him of the evil^H7451 that he hath pronounced^H1696 against you. ¹⁴As for me, behold, I ass=tip id=~15422 href=/addedText.htm#add onclick="bC(this);"> am in your hand^H3027: do^H6213 with me as seemeth^H5869 good^H2896 and meet^H3477 unto you. ¹⁵But know^H3045 ye for certain^H3045, that if ye put me to death^H4191, ye shall surely bring^H5414 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 upon yourselves, and upon this city^H5892, and upon the inhabitants^H3427 thereof: for of a truth^H0571 the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 me unto you to speak^H1696 all these words^H1697 in your ears^H0241.

¹⁶Then said^H0559 the princes^H8269 and all the people^H5971 unto the priests^H3548 and to the prophets^H5030; This man^H0376 is not worthy^H4941 to die^H4194: for he hath spoken^H1696 to us in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430. ¹⁷Then rose up^H6965 certain^H0582 of the elders^H2205 of the land^H0776, and spake^H0559 to all the assembly^H6951 of the people^H5971, saying^H0559, ¹⁸ Micah^H4320 the Morasthite^H4183 prophesied^H5012 in the days^H3117 of Hezekiah^H2396 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and spake^H0559 to all the people^H5971 of Judah^H3063, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Zion^H6726 shall be plowed^H2790 like a field^H7704, and Jerusalem^H3389 shall become heaps^H5856, and the mountain^H2022 of the house^H1004 as the high places^H1116 of a forest^H3293. ¹⁹Did Hezekiah^H2396 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 and all Judah^H3063 put him at all^H4191 to death^H4191? did he not fear^H3373 the LORD^H3068, and besought^H2470 the LORD^H3068, and the LORD^H3068 repented^H5162 him of the evil^H7451 which he had pronounced^H1696 against them? Thus^H0587 might we procure^H6213 great^H1419 evil^H7451 against our souls^H5315. ²⁰And there was also a man^H0376 that prophesied^H5012 in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, Urijah^H0223 the son^H1121 of Shemaiah^H8098 of Kirjath-jearim^H7157, who prophesied^H5012 against this city^H5892 and against this land^H0776 according to all the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414: ²¹And when Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428, with all his mighty men^H1368, and all the princes^H8269, heard^H8085 his words^H1697, the king^H4428 sought^H1245 to put him to death^H4191: but when Urijah^H0223 heard^H8085 it, he was afraid^H3372, and fled^H1272, and went^H0935 into Egypt^H4714; ²²And Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428 sent^H7971 men^H0582 into Egypt^H4714, namely , Elnathan^H0494 the son^H1121 of Achbor^H5907, and certain men^H0582 with him into Egypt^H4714. ²³And they fetched forth^H3318 Urijah^H0223 out of Egypt^H4714, and brought^H0935 him unto Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428; who slew^H5221 him with the sword^H2719, and cast^H7993 his dead body^H5038 into the graves^H6913 of the common^H1121 people^H5971. ²⁴Nevertheless the hand^H3027 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 was with Jeremiah^H3414, that they should not give^H5414 him into the hand^H3027 of the people^H5971 to put him to death^H4191.

¹In the beginning^H7225 of the reign^H4467 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 came this word^H1697 unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 to me; Make^H6213 thee bonds^H4147 and yokes^H4133, and put^H5414 them upon thy neck^H6677, ³And send^H7971 them to the king^H4428 of Edom^H0123, and to the king^H4428 of Moab^H4124, and to the king^H4428 of the Ammonites^H1121, and to the king^H4428 of Tyrus^H6865, and to the king^H4428 of Zidon^H6721, by the hand^H3027 of the messengers^H4397 which come^H0935 to Jerusalem^H3389 unto Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; ⁴And command^H6680 them to say^H0559 unto their masters^H0113, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Thus shall ye say^H0559 unto your masters^H0113; ⁵I have made^H6213 the earth^H0776, the man^H0120 and the beast^H0929 that are upon^H6440 the ground^H0776, by my great^H1419 power^H3581 and by my outstretched^H5186 arm^H2220, and have given^H5414 it unto whom it seemed^H5869 meet^H3474 unto me. ⁶And now have I given^H5414 all these lands^H0776 into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, my servant^H5650; and the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 have I given^H5414 him also to serve^H5647 him. ⁷And all nations^H1471 shall serve^H5647 him, and his son^H1121, and his sons^H1121 son^H1121, until the very time^H6256 of his land^H0776 come^H0935: and then many^H7227 nations^H1471 and great^H1419 kings^H4428 shall serve^H5647 themselves of him. ⁸And it shall come to pass, that the nation^H1471 and kingdom^H4467 which will not serve^H5647 the same Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and that will not put^H5414 their neck^H6677 under the yoke^H5923 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, that nation^H1471 will I punish^H6485, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, with the sword^H2719, and with the famine^H7458, and with the pestilence^H1698, until I have consumed^H8552 them by his hand^H3027. ⁹Therefore hearken^H8085 not ye to your prophets^H5030, nor to your diviners^H7080, nor to your dreamers^H2472, nor to your enchanters^H6049, nor to your sorcerers^H3786, which speak^H0559 unto you, saying^H0559, Ye shall not serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894: ¹⁰For they prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 unto you, to remove you far^H7368 from your land^H0127; and that I should drive you out^H5080, and ye should perish^H0006. ¹¹But the nations^H1471 that bring^H0935 their neck^H6677 under the yoke^H5923 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and serve^H5647 him, those will I let remain still^H3240 in their own land^H0127, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and they shall till^H5647 it, and dwell^H3427 therein.

¹²I spake^H1696 also to Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 according to all these words^H1697, saying^H0559, Bring^H0935 your necks^H6677 under the yoke^H5923 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and serve^H5647 him and his people^H5971, and live^H2421. ¹³Why will ye die^H4191, thou and thy people^H5971, by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698, as the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696 against the nation^H1471 that will not serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894? ¹⁴Therefore hearken^H8085 not unto the words^H1697 of the prophets^H5030 that speak^H0559 unto you, saying^H0559, Ye shall not serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894: for they prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 unto you. ¹⁵For I have not sent^H7971 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, yet they prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 in my name^H8034; that I might drive you out^H5080, and that ye might perish^H0006, ye, and the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 unto you. ¹⁶Also I spake^H1696 to the priests^H3548 and to all this people^H5971, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Hearken^H8085 not to the words^H1697 of your prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 unto you, saying^H0559, Behold, the vessels^H3627 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004 shall now shortly^H4120 be brought again^H7725 from Babylon^H0894: for they prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 unto you. ¹⁷Hearken^H8085 not unto them; serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and live^H2421: wherefore should this city^H5892 be laid waste^H2723? ¹⁸But if they be prophets^H5030, and if the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 be^H3426 with them, let them now make intercession^H6293 to the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that the vessels^H3627 which are left^H3498 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and in the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and at Jerusalem^H3389, go^H0935 not to Babylon^H0894.

¹⁹For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 concerning the pillars^H5982, and concerning the sea^H3220, and concerning the bases^H4350, and concerning the residue^H3499 of the vessels^H3627 that remain^H3498 in this city^H5892, ²⁰Which Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 took^H3947 not, when he carried away captive^H1540 Jeconiah^H3204 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 from Jerusalem^H3389 to Babylon^H0894, and all the nobles^H2715 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389; ²¹Yea, thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, concerning the vessels^H3627 that remain^H3498 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and in the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 and of Jerusalem^H3389; ²²They shall be carried^H0935 to Babylon^H0894, and there shall they be until the day^H3117 that I visit^H6485 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; then will I bring^H5927 them up, and restore^H7725 them to this place^H4725.

Jeremiah: Chapter 28

¹And it came to pass the same year^H8141, in the beginning^H7225 of the reign^H4467 of Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141, and in the fifth^H2549 month^H2320, that Hananiah^H2608 the son^H1121 of Azur^H5809 the prophet^H5030, which was of Gibeon^H1391, spake^H0559 unto me in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, in the presence^H5869 of the priests^H3548 and of all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, ²Thus speaketh^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, saying^H0559, I have broken^H7665 the yoke^H5923 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894. ³Within two full^H3117 years^H8141 will I bring again^H7725 into this place^H4725 all the vessels^H3627 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, that Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 took away^H3947 from this place^H4725, and carried^H0935 them to Babylon^H0894: ⁴And I will bring again^H7725 to this place^H4725 Jeconiah^H3204 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, with all the captives^H1546 of Judah^H3063, that went^H0935 into Babylon^H0894, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: for I will break^H7665 the yoke^H5923 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894.

⁵Then the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto the prophet^H5030 Hananiah^H2608 in the presence^H5869 of the priests^H3548, and in the presence^H5869 of all the people^H5971 that stood^H5975 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, ⁶Even the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559, Amen^H0543: the LORD^H3068 do^H6213 so: the LORD^H3068 perform^H6965 thy words^H1697 which thou hast prophesied^H5012, to bring again^H7725 the vessels^H3627 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, and all that is carried away captive^H1473, from Babylon^H0894 into this place^H4725. ⁷Nevertheless hear^H8085 thou now this word^H1697 that I speak^H1696 in thine ears^H0241, and in the ears^H0241 of all the people^H5971; ⁸The prophets^H5030 that have been before^H6440 me and before^H6440 thee of old^H5769 prophesied^H5012 both against many^H7227 countries^H0776, and against great^H1419 kingdoms^H4467, of war^H4421, and of evil^H7451, and of pestilence^H1698. ⁹The prophet^H5030 which prophesieth^H5012 of peace^H7965, when the word^H1697 of the prophet^H5030 shall come to pass^H0935, then^H0227 shall the prophet^H5030 be known^H3045, that the LORD^H3068 hath truly^H0571 sent^H7971 him.

¹⁰Then Hananiah^H2608 the prophet^H5030 took^H3947 the yoke^H4133 from off the prophet^H5030 Jeremiahs^H3414 neck^H6677, and brake^H7665 it. ¹¹And Hananiah^H2608 spake^H0559 in the presence^H5869 of all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Even so will I break^H7665 the yoke^H5923 of Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 from the neck^H6677 of all nations^H1471 within the space of two full^H3117 years^H8141. And the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414 went^H3212 his way^H1870.

¹²Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet , after^H0310 that Hananiah^H2608 the prophet^H5030 had broken^H7665 the yoke^H4133 from off the neck^H6677 of the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ¹³Go^H1980 and tell^H0559 Hananiah^H2608, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Thou hast broken^H7665 the yokes^H4133 of wood^H6086; but thou shalt make^H6213 for them yokes^H4133 of iron^H1270. ¹⁴For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; I have put^H5414 a yoke^H5923 of iron^H1270 upon the neck^H6677 of all these nations^H1471, that they may serve^H5647 Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894; and they shall serve^H5647 him: and I have given^H5414 him the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 also.

¹⁵Then said^H0559 the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414 unto Hananiah^H2608 the prophet^H5030, Hear^H8085 now, Hananiah^H2608; The LORD^H3068 hath not sent^H7971 thee; but thou makest this people^H5971 to trust^H0982 in a lie^H8267. ¹⁶Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will cast^H7971 thee from off the face^H6440 of the earth^H0127: this year^H8141 thou shalt die^H4191, because thou hast taught^H1696 rebellion^H5627 against the LORD^H3068. ¹⁷So Hananiah^H2608 the prophet^H5030 died^H4191 the same year^H8141 in the seventh^H7637 month^H2320.

Jeremiah: Chapter 29

¹Now these are the words^H1697 of the letter^H5612 that Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 sent^H7971 from Jerusalem^H3389 unto the residue^H3499 of the elders^H2205 which were carried away captives^H1473, and to the priests^H3548, and to the prophets^H5030, and to all the people^H5971 whom Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 had carried away captive^H1540 from Jerusalem^H3389 to Babylon^H0894; ²(After^H0310 that Jeconiah^H3204 the king^H4428, and the queen^H1377, and the eunuchs^H5631, the princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063 and Jerusalem^H3389, and the carpenters^H2796, and the smiths^H4525, were departed^H3318 from Jerusalem^H3389;) ³By the hand^H3027 of Elasah^H0501 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, and Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Hilkiah^H2518, (whom Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 sent^H7971 unto Babylon^H0894 to Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894) saying^H0559, ⁴Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, unto all that are carried away captives^H1473, whom I have caused to be carried away^H1540 from Jerusalem^H3389 unto Babylon^H0894; ⁵Build^H1129 ye houses^H1004, and dwell^H3427 in them; and plant^H5193 gardens^H1593, and eat^H0398 the fruit^H6529 of them; ⁶Take^H3947 ye wives^H0802, and beget^H3205 sons^H1121 and daughters^H1323; and take^H3947 wives^H0802 for your sons^H1121, and give^H5414 your daughters^H1323 to husbands^H0582, that they may bear^H3205 sons^H1121 and daughters^H1121; that ye may be increased^H7235 there, and not diminished^H4591. ⁷And seek^H1875 the peace^H7965 of the city^H5892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captives^H1540, and pray^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068 for it: for in the peace^H7965 thereof shall ye have peace^H7965.

⁸For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Let not your prophets^H5030 and your diviners^H7080, that be in the midst^H7130 of you, deceive^H5377 you, neither hearken^H8085 to your dreams^H2472 which ye cause to be dreamed^H2492. ⁹For they prophesy^H5012 falsely^H8267 unto you in my name^H8034: I have not sent^H7971 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

¹⁰For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, That after^H6310 seventy^H7657 years^H8141 be accomplished^H4390 at Babylon^H0894 I will visit^H6485 you, and perform^H6965 my good^H2896 word^H1697 toward you, in causing you to return^H7725 to this place^H4725. ¹¹For I know^H3045 the thoughts^H4284 that I think^H2803 toward you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, thoughts^H4284 of peace^H7965, and not of evil^H7451, to give^H5414 you an expected^H8615 end^H0319. ¹²Then shall ye call^H7121 upon me, and ye shall go^H1980 and pray^H6419 unto me, and I will hearken^H8085 unto you. ¹³And ye shall seek^H1245 me, and find^H4672 me , when ye shall search^H1875 for me with all your heart^H3824. ¹⁴And I will be found^H4672 of you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: and I will turn away^H7725 your captivity^H7622, and I will gather^H6908 you from all the nations^H1471, and from all the places^H4725 whither I have driven^H5080 you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and I will bring you again^H7725 into the place^H4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captive^H1540.

¹⁵Because ye have said^H0559, The LORD^H3068 hath raised us up^H6965 prophets^H5030 in Babylon^H0894; ¹⁶ Know that thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of the king^H4428 that sitteth^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, and of all the people^H5971 that dwelleth^H3427 in this city^H5892, and of your brethren^H0251 that are not gone forth^H3318 with you into captivity^H1473; ¹⁷Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Behold, I will send^H7971 upon them the sword^H2719, the famine^H7458, and the pestilence^H1698, and will make^H5414 them like vile^H8182 figs^H8384, that cannot be eaten^H0398, they are so evil^H7455. ¹⁸And I will persecute^H7291 them^H0310 with the sword^H2719, with the famine^H7458, and with the pestilence^H1698, and will deliver^H5414 them to be removed^H2189 to all the kingdoms^H4467 of the earth^H0776, to be a curse^H0423, and an astonishment^H8047, and an hissing^H8322, and a reproach^H2781, among all the nations^H1471 whither I have driven^H5080 them: ¹⁹Because they have not hearkened^H8085 to my words^H1697, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, which I sent^H7971 unto them by my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising up early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them; but ye would not hear^H8085, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁰Hear^H8085 ye therefore the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all ye of the captivity^H1473, whom I have sent^H7971 from Jerusalem^H3389 to Babylon^H0894: ²¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, of Ahab^H0256 the son^H1121 of Kolaiah^H6964, and of Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4641, which prophesy^H5012 a lie^H8267 unto you in my name^H8034; Behold, I will deliver^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894; and he shall slay^H5221 them before your eyes^H5869; ²²And of them shall be taken up^H3947 a curse^H7045 by all the captivity^H1546 of Judah^H3063 which are in Babylon^H0894, saying^H0559, The LORD^H3068 make^H7760 thee like Zedekiah^H6667 and like Ahab^H0256, whom the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 roasted^H7033 in the fire^H0784; ²³Because they have committed^H6213 villany^H5039 in Israel^H3478, and have committed^H6213 adultery^H5003 with their neighbours^H7453 wives^H0802, and have spoken^H1696 lying^H8267 words^H1697 in my name^H8034, which I have not commanded^H6680 them; even I know^H3045, and am a witness^H5707, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁴ Thus shalt thou also speak^H0559 to Shemaiah^H8098 the Nehelamite^H5161, saying^H0559, ²⁵Thus speaketh^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, saying^H0559, Because thou hast sent^H7971 letters^H5612 in thy name^H8034 unto all the people^H5971 that are at Jerusalem^H3389, and to Zephaniah^H6846 the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4641 the priest^H3548, and to all the priests^H3548, saying^H0559, ²⁶The LORD^H3068 hath made^H5414 thee priest^H3548 in the stead of Jehoiada^H3077 the priest^H3548, that ye should be officers^H6496 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, for every man^H0376 that is mad^H7696, and maketh himself a prophet^H5012, that thou shouldest put^H5414 him in prison^H4115, and in the stocks^H6729. ²⁷Now therefore why hast thou not reproved^H1605 Jeremiah^H3414 of Anathoth^H6069, which maketh himself a prophet^H5012 to you? ²⁸For therefore he sent^H7971 unto us in Babylon^H0894, saying^H0559, This^H1931 captivity is long^H0752: build^H1129 ye houses^H1004, and dwell^H3427 in them; and plant^H5193 gardens^H1593, and eat^H0398 the fruit^H6529 of them. ²⁹And Zephaniah^H6846 the priest^H3548 read^H7121 this letter^H5612 in the ears^H0241 of Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030.

³⁰Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ³¹Send^H7971 to all them of the captivity^H1473, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 concerning Shemaiah^H8098 the Nehelamite^H5161; Because that Shemaiah^H8098 hath prophesied^H5012 unto you, and I sent^H7971 him not, and he caused you to trust^H0982 in a lie^H8267: ³²Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will punish^H6485 Shemaiah^H8098 the Nehelamite^H5161, and his seed^H2233: he shall not have a man^H0376 to dwell^H3427 among^H8432 this people^H5971; neither shall he behold^H7200 the good^H2896 that I will do^H6213 for my people^H5971, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; because he hath taught^H1696 rebellion^H5627 against the LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 30

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Thus speaketh^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, saying^H0559, Write^H3789 thee all the words^H1697 that I have spoken^H1696 unto thee in a book^H5612. ³For, lo, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478 and Judah^H3063, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068: and I will cause them to return^H7725 to the land^H0776 that I gave^H5414 to their fathers^H0001, and they shall possess^H3423 it.

⁴And these are the words^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 concerning Israel^H3478 and concerning Judah^H3063. ⁵For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; We have heard^H8085 a voice^H6963 of trembling^H2731, of fear^H6343, and not of peace^H7965. ⁶Ask^H7592 ye now, and see^H7200 whether a man^H2145 doth travail with child^H3205? wherefore do I see^H7200 every man^H1397 with his hands^H3027 on his loins^H2504, as a woman in travail^H3205, and all faces^H6440 are turned^H2015 into paleness^H3420? ⁷Alas^H1945! for that day^H3117 is great^H1419, so that^H0369 none is like it: it is even the time^H6256 of Jacobs^H3290 trouble^H6869; but he shall be saved^H3467 out of it. ⁸For it shall come to pass in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that I will break^H7665 his yoke^H5923 from off thy neck^H6677, and will burst^H5423 thy bonds^H4147, and strangers^H2114 shall no more serve^H5647 themselves of him: ⁹But they shall serve^H5647 the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430, and David^H1732 their king^H4428, whom I will raise up^H6965 unto them.

¹⁰Therefore fear^H3372 thou not, O my servant^H5650 Jacob^H3290, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; neither be dismayed^H2865, O Israel^H3478: for, lo, I will save^H3467 thee from afar^H7350, and thy seed^H2233 from the land^H0776 of their captivity^H7628; and Jacob^H3290 shall return^H7725, and shall be in rest^H8252, and be quiet^H7599, and none shall make him afraid^H2729. ¹¹For I am with thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, to save^H3467 thee: though I make^H6213 a full end^H3617 of all nations^H1471 whither I have scattered^H6327 thee, yet will I not make^H6213 a full end^H3617 of thee: but I will correct^H3256 thee in measure^H4941, and will not leave thee altogether^H5352 unpunished^H5352. ¹²For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Thy bruise^H7667 is incurable^H0605, and thy wound^H4347 is grievous^H2470. ¹³ There is none to plead^H1777 thy cause^H1779, that thou mayest be bound up^H4205: thou hast no healing^H8585 medicines^H7499. ¹⁴All thy lovers^H0157 have forgotten^H7911 thee; they seek^H1875 thee not; for I have wounded^H5221 thee with the wound^H4347 of an enemy^H0341, with the chastisement^H4148 of a cruel one^H0394, for the multitude^H7230 of thine iniquity^H5771; because thy sins^H2403 were increased^H6105. ¹⁵Why criest^H2199 thou for thine affliction^H7667? thy sorrow^H4341 is incurable^H0605 for the multitude^H7230 of thine iniquity^H5771: because thy sins^H2403 were increased^H6105, I have done^H6213 these things unto thee. ¹⁶Therefore all they that devour^H0398 thee shall be devoured^H0398; and all thine adversaries^H6862, every one of them, shall go^H3212 into captivity^H7628; and they that spoil^H7601 thee shall be a spoil^H4933, and all that prey^H0962 upon thee will I give^H5414 for a prey^H0957. ¹⁷For I will restore^H5927 health^H0724 unto thee, and I will heal^H7495 thee of thy wounds^H4347, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; because they called^H7121 thee an Outcast^H5080, saying , This is Zion^H6726, whom no man seeketh after^H1875.

¹⁸Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of Jacobs^H3290 tents^H0168, and have mercy^H7355 on his dwellingplaces^H4908; and the city^H5892 shall be builded^H1129 upon her own heap^H8510, and the palace^H0759 shall remain^H3427 after the manner^H4941 thereof. ¹⁹And out of them shall proceed^H3318 thanksgiving^H8426 and the voice^H6963 of them that make merry^H7832: and I will multiply^H7235 them, and they shall not be few^H4591; I will also glorify^H3513 them, and they shall not be small^H6819. ²⁰Their children^H1121 also shall be as aforetime^H6924, and their congregation^H5712 shall be established^H3559 before^H6440 me, and I will punish^H6485 all that oppress^H3905 them. ²¹And their nobles^H0117 shall be of themselves, and their governor^H4910 shall proceed^H3318 from the midst^H7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw near^H7126, and he shall approach^H5066 unto me: for who is this that engaged^H6148 his heart^H3820 to approach^H5066 unto me? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²²And ye shall be my people^H5971, and I will be your God^H0430. ²³Behold, the whirlwind^H5591 of the LORD^H3068 goeth forth^H3318 with fury^H2534, a continuing^H1641 whirlwind^H5591: it shall fall with pain^H2342 upon the head^H7218 of the wicked^H7563. ²⁴The fierce^H2740 anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068 shall not return^H7725, until he have done^H6213 it , and until he have performed^H6965 the intents^H4209 of his heart^H3820: in the latter^H0319 days^H3117 ye shall consider^H0995 it.

Jeremiah: Chapter 31

¹At the same time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, will I be the God^H0430 of all the families^H4940 of Israel^H3478, and they shall be my people^H5971. ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, The people^H5971 which were left^H8300 of the sword^H2719 found^H4672 grace^H2580 in the wilderness^H4057; even Israel^H3478, when I went^H1980 to cause him to rest^H7280. ³The LORD^H3068 hath appeared^H7200 of old^H7350 unto me, saying , Yea, I have loved^H0157 thee with an everlasting^H5769 love^H0160: therefore with lovingkindness^H2617 have I drawn^H4900 thee. ⁴Again I will build^H1129 thee, and thou shalt be built^H1129, O virgin^H1330 of Israel^H3478: thou shalt again be adorned^H5710 with thy tabrets^H8596, and shalt go forth^H3318 in the dances^H4234 of them that make merry^H7832. ⁵Thou shalt yet plant^H5193 vines^H3754 upon the mountains^H2022 of Samaria^H8111: the planters^H5193 shall plant^H5193, and shall eat them as common things^H2490. ⁶For there shall be^H3426 a day^H3117, that the watchmen^H5341 upon the mount^H2022 Ephraim^H0669 shall cry^H7121, Arise^H6965 ye, and let us go up^H5927 to Zion^H6726 unto the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430. ⁷For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Sing^H7442 with gladness^H8057 for Jacob^H3290, and shout^H6670 among the chief^H7218 of the nations^H1471: publish^H8085 ye, praise^H1984 ye, and say^H0559, O LORD^H3068, save^H3467 thy people^H5971, the remnant^H7611 of Israel^H3478. ⁸Behold, I will bring^H0935 them from the north^H6828 country^H0776, and gather^H6908 them from the coasts^H3411 of the earth^H0776, and with them the blind^H5787 and the lame^H6455, the woman with child^H2030 and her that travaileth with child^H3205 together^H3162: a great^H1419 company^H6951 shall return^H7725 thither. ⁹They shall come^H0935 with weeping^H1065, and with supplications^H8469 will I lead^H2986 them: I will cause them to walk^H3212 by the rivers^H5158 of waters^H4325 in a straight^H3477 way^H1870, wherein they shall not stumble^H3782: for I am a father^H0001 to Israel^H3478, and Ephraim^H0669 is my firstborn^H1060.

¹⁰Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O ye nations^H1471, and declare^H5046 it in the isles^H0339 afar off^H4801, and say^H0559, He that scattered^H2219 Israel^H3478 will gather^H6908 him, and keep^H8104 him, as a shepherd^H7462 doth his flock^H5739. ¹¹For the LORD^H3068 hath redeemed^H6299 Jacob^H3290, and ransomed^H1350 him from the hand^H3027 of him that was stronger^H2389 than he. ¹²Therefore they shall come^H0935 and sing^H7442 in the height^H4791 of Zion^H6726, and shall flow together^H5102 to the goodness^H2898 of the LORD^H3068, for wheat^H1715, and for wine^H8492, and for oil^H3323, and for the young^H1121 of the flock^H6629 and of the herd^H1241: and their soul^H5315 shall be as a watered^H7302 garden^H1588; and they shall not sorrow^H1669 any more^H3254 at all. ¹³Then shall the virgin^H1330 rejoice^H8055 in the dance^H4234, both young men^H0970 and old^H2205 together^H3162: for I will turn^H2015 their mourning^H0060 into joy^H8342, and will comfort^H5162 them, and make them rejoice^H8055 from their sorrow^H3015. ¹⁴And I will satiate^H7301 the soul^H5315 of the priests^H3548 with fatness^H1880, and my people^H5971 shall be satisfied^H7646 with my goodness^H2898, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

¹⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; A voice^H6963 was heard^H8085 in Ramah^H7414, lamentation^H5092, and bitter^H8563 weeping^H1065; Rahel^H7354 weeping^H1058 for her children^H1121 refused^H3985 to be comforted^H5162 for her children^H1121, because they were not. ¹⁶Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Refrain^H4513 thy voice^H6963 from weeping^H1065, and thine eyes^H5869 from tears^H1832: for thy work^H6468 shall be^H3426 rewarded^H7939, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and they shall come again^H7725 from the land^H0776 of the enemy^H0341. ¹⁷And there is^H3426 hope^H8615 in thine end^H0319, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that thy children^H1121 shall come again^H7725 to their own border^H1366.

¹⁸I have surely^H8085 heard^H8085 Ephraim^H0669 bemoaning^H5110 himself thus; Thou hast chastised^H3256 me, and I was chastised^H3256, as a bullock^H5695 unaccustomed^H3808 to the yoke: turn^H7725 thou me, and I shall be turned^H7725; for thou art the LORD^H3068 my God^H0430. ¹⁹Surely after^H0310 that I was turned^H7725, I repented^H5162; and after^H0310 that I was instructed^H3045, I smote^H5606 upon my thigh^H3409: I was ashamed^H0954, yea, even confounded^H3637, because I did bear^H5375 the reproach^H2781 of my youth^H5271. ²⁰ Is Ephraim^H0669 my dear^H3357 son^H1121? is he a pleasant^H8191 child^H3206? for since^H1767 I spake^H1696 against him, I do earnestly^H2142 remember^H2142 him still: therefore my bowels^H4578 are troubled^H1993 for him; I will surely^H7355 have mercy^H7355 upon him, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²¹Set thee up^H5324 waymarks^H6725, make^H7760 thee high heaps^H8564: set^H7896 thine heart^H3820 toward the highway^H4546, even the way^H1870 which thou wentest^H1980: turn again^H7725, O virgin^H1330 of Israel^H3478, turn again^H7725 to these thy cities^H5892.

²²How long wilt thou go about^H2559, O thou backsliding^H7728 daughter^H1323? for the LORD^H3068 hath created^H1254 a new thing^H2319 in the earth^H0776, A woman^H5347 shall compass^H5437 a man^H1397. ²³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; As yet they shall use^H0559 this speech^H1697 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063 and in the cities^H5892 thereof, when I shall bring again^H7725 their captivity^H7622; The LORD^H3068 bless^H1288 thee, O habitation^H5116 of justice^H6664, and mountain^H2022 of holiness^H6944. ²⁴And there shall dwell^H3427 in Judah^H3063 itself, and in all the cities^H5892 thereof together^H3162, husbandmen^H0406, and they that go forth^H5265 with flocks^H5739. ²⁵For I have satiated^H7301 the weary^H5889 soul^H5315, and I have replenished^H4390 every sorrowful^H1669 soul^H5315. ²⁶Upon this I awaked^H6974, and beheld^H7200; and my sleep^H8142 was sweet^H6149 unto me.

²⁷Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will sow^H2232 the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 with the seed^H2233 of man^H0120, and with the seed^H2233 of beast^H0929. ²⁸And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over^H8245 them, to pluck up^H5428, and to break down^H5422, and to throw down^H2040, and to destroy^H0006, and to afflict^H7489; so will I watch over^H8245 them, to build^H1129, and to plant^H5193, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²⁹In those days^H3117 they shall say^H0559 no more, The fathers^H0001 have eaten^H0398 a sour grape^H1155, and the childrens^H1121 teeth^H8127 are set on edge^H6949. ³⁰But every one^H0376 shall die^H4191 for his own iniquity^H5771: every man^H0120 that eateth^H0398 the sour grape^H1155, his teeth^H8127 shall be set on edge^H6949.

³¹Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will make^H3772 a new^H2319 covenant^H1285 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, and with the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063: ³²Not according to the covenant^H1285 that I made^H3772 with their fathers^H0001 in the day^H3117 that I took^H2388 them by the hand^H3027 to bring them out^H3318 of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; which my covenant^H1285 they brake^H6565, although I was an husband^H1166 unto them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: ³³But this shall be the covenant^H1285 that I will make^H3772 with the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478; After^H0310 those days^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, I will put^H5414 my law^H8451 in their inward parts^H7130, and write^H3789 it in their hearts^H3820; and will be their God^H0430, and they shall be my people^H5971. ³⁴And they shall teach^H3925 no more every man^H0376 his neighbour^H7453, and every man^H0376 his brother^H0251, saying^H0559, Know^H3045 the LORD^H3068: for they shall all know^H3045 me, from the least^H6996 of them unto the greatest^H1419 of them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: for I will forgive^H5545 their iniquity^H5771, and I will remember^H2142 their sin^H2403 no more.

³⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, which giveth^H5414 the sun^H8121 for a light^H0216 by day^H3119, and the ordinances^H2708 of the moon^H3394 and of the stars^H3556 for a light^H0216 by night^H3915, which divideth^H7280 the sea^H3220 when the waves^H1530 thereof roar^H1993; The LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034: ³⁶If those ordinances^H2706 depart^H4185 from before^H6440 me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, then the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 also shall cease^H7673 from being a nation^H1471 before^H6440 me for ever^H3117. ³⁷Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; If heaven^H8064 above^H4605 can be measured^H4058, and the foundations^H4146 of the earth^H0776 searched out^H2713 beneath^H4295, I will also cast off^H3988 all the seed^H2233 of Israel^H3478 for all that they have done^H6213, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

³⁸Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that the city^H5892 shall be built^H1129 to the LORD^H3068 from the tower^H4026 of Hananeel^H2606 unto the gate^H8179 of the corner^H6438. ³⁹And the measuring^H4060 line^H6957 shall yet go forth^H3318 over against it upon the hill^H1389 Gareb^H1619, and shall compass about^H5437 to Goath^H1601. ⁴⁰And the whole valley^H6010 of the dead bodies^H6297, and of the ashes^H1880, and all the fields^H7709 unto the brook^H5158 of Kidron^H6939, unto the corner^H6438 of the horse^H5483 gate^H8179 toward the east^H4217, shall be holy^H6944 unto the LORD^H3068; it shall not be plucked up^H5428, nor thrown down^H2040 any more for ever^H5769.

Jeremiah: Chapter 32

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068 in the tenth^H6224 year^H8141 of Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, which was the eighteenth^H8083 year^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019. ²For then the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 army^H2428 besieged^H6696 Jerusalem^H3389: and Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 was shut up^H3607 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307, which was in the king^H4428 of Judahs^H3063 house^H1004. ³For Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 had shut him up^H3607, saying^H0559, Wherefore dost thou prophesy^H5012, and say^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, Behold, I will give^H5414 this city^H5892 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall take^H3920 it; ⁴And Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 shall not escape^H4422 out of the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778, but shall surely^H5414 be delivered^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and shall speak^H1696 with him mouth^H6310 to mouth^H6310, and his eyes^H5869 shall behold^H7200 his eyes^H5869; ⁵And he shall lead^H3212 Zedekiah^H6667 to Babylon^H0894, and there shall he be until I visit^H6485 him, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: though ye fight^H3898 with the Chaldeans^H3778, ye shall not prosper^H6743.

⁶And Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559, The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H0559, ⁷Behold, Hanameel^H2601 the son^H1121 of Shallum^H7967 thine uncle^H1730 shall come^H0935 unto thee, saying^H0559, Buy^H7069 thee my field^H7704 that is in Anathoth^H6068: for the right^H4941 of redemption^H1353 is thine to buy^H7069 it . ⁸So Hanameel^H2601 mine uncles^H1730 son^H1121 came^H0935 to me in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307 according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559 unto me, Buy^H7069 my field^H7704, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth^H6068, which is in the country^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144: for the right^H4941 of inheritance^H3425 is thine, and the redemption^H1353 is thine; buy^H7069 it for thyself. Then I knew^H3045 that this was the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068. ⁹And I bought^H7069 the field^H7704 of Hanameel^H2601 my uncles^H1730 son^H1121, that was in Anathoth^H6068, and weighed^H8254 him the money^H3701, even seventeen^H7651 shekels^H8255 of silver^H3701. ¹⁰And I subscribed^H3789 the evidence^H5612, and sealed^H2856 it , and took^H5749 witnesses^H5707, and weighed^H8254 him the money^H3701 in the balances^H3976. ¹¹So I took^H3947 the evidence^H5612 of the purchase^H4736, both that which was sealed^H2856 according to the law^H4687 and custom^H2706, and that which was open^H1540: ¹²And I gave^H5414 the evidence^H5612 of the purchase^H4736 unto Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374, the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4271, in the sight^H5869 of Hanameel^H2601 mine uncles^H1730 son , and in the presence^H5869 of the witnesses^H5707 that subscribed^H3789 the book^H5612 of the purchase^H4736, before^H5869 all the Jews^H3064 that sat^H3427 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307.

¹³And I charged^H6680 Baruch^H1263 before^H5869 them, saying^H0559, ¹⁴Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Take^H3947 these evidences^H5612, this evidence^H5612 of the purchase^H4736, both which is sealed^H2856, and this evidence^H5612 which is open^H1540; and put^H5414 them in an earthen^H2789 vessel^H3627, that they may continue^H5975 many^H7227 days^H3117. ¹⁵For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Houses^H1004 and fields^H7704 and vineyards^H3754 shall be possessed again^H7069 in this land^H0776.

¹⁶Now when^H0310 I had delivered^H5414 the evidence^H5612 of the purchase^H4736 unto Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374, I prayed^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ¹⁷Ah^H0162 Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069! behold, thou hast made^H6213 the heaven^H8064 and the earth^H0776 by thy great^H1419 power^H3581 and stretched out^H5186 arm^H2220, and there is nothing^H1697 too hard^H6381 for thee: ¹⁸Thou shewest^H6213 lovingkindness^H2617 unto thousands^H0505, and recompensest^H7999 the iniquity^H5771 of the fathers^H0001 into the bosom^H2436 of their children^H1121 after^H0310 them: the Great^H1419, the Mighty^H1368 God^H0410, the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, is his name^H8034, ¹⁹Great^H1419 in counsel^H6098, and mighty^H7227 in work^H5950: for thine eyes^H5869 are open^H6491 upon all the ways^H1870 of the sons^H1121 of men^H0120: to give^H5414 every one^H0376 according to his ways^H1870, and according to the fruit^H6529 of his doings^H4611: ²⁰Which hast set^H7760 signs^H0226 and wonders^H4159 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, even unto this day^H3117, and in Israel^H3478, and among other men^H0120; and hast made^H6213 thee a name^H8034, as at this day^H3117; ²¹And hast brought forth^H3318 thy people^H5971 Israel^H3478 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 with signs^H0226, and with wonders^H4159, and with a strong^H2389 hand^H3027, and with a stretched out^H5186 arm^H0248, and with great^H1419 terror^H4172; ²²And hast given^H5414 them this land^H0776, which thou didst swear^H7650 to their fathers^H0001 to give^H5414 them, a land^H0776 flowing^H2100 with milk^H2461 and honey^H1706; ²³And they came in^H0935, and possessed^H3423 it; but they obeyed^H8085 not thy voice^H6963, neither walked^H1980 in thy law^H8451; they have done^H6213 nothing of all that thou commandedst^H6680 them to do^H6213: therefore thou hast caused all this evil^H7451 to come^H7122 upon them: ²⁴Behold the mounts^H5550, they are come^H0935 unto the city^H5892 to take^H3920 it; and the city^H5892 is given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778, that fight^H3898 against it, because^H6440 of the sword^H2719, and of the famine^H7458, and of the pestilence^H1698: and what thou hast spoken^H1696 is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest^H7200 it . ²⁵And thou hast said^H0559 unto me, O Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069, Buy^H7069 thee the field^H7704 for money^H3701, and take^H5749 witnesses^H5707; for the city^H5892 is given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778.

²⁶Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ²⁷Behold, I am the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of all flesh^H1320: is there any thing^H1697 too hard^H6381 for me? ²⁸Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will give^H5414 this city^H5892 into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall take^H3920 it: ²⁹And the Chaldeans^H3778, that fight^H3898 against this city^H5892, shall come^H0935 and set^H3341 fire^H0784 on this city^H5892, and burn^H8313 it with the houses^H1004, upon whose roofs^H1406 they have offered incense^H6999 unto Baal^H1168, and poured out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430, to provoke me to anger^H3707. ³⁰For the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 have only done^H6213 evil^H7451 before^H5869 me from their youth^H5271: for the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 have only provoked me to anger^H3707 with the work^H4639 of their hands^H3027, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³¹For this city^H5892 hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger^H0639 and of my fury^H2534 from the day^H3117 that they built^H1129 it even unto this day^H3117; that I should remove^H5493 it from before my face^H6440, ³²Because of all the evil^H7451 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and of the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063, which they have done^H6213 to provoke me to anger^H3707, they, their kings^H4428, their princes^H8269, their priests^H3548, and their prophets^H5030, and the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389. ³³And they have turned^H6437 unto me the back^H6203, and not the face^H6440: though I taught^H3925 them, rising up early^H7925 and teaching^H3925 them , yet they have not hearkened^H8085 to receive^H3947 instruction^H4148. ³⁴But they set^H7760 their abominations^H8251 in the house^H1004, which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034, to defile^H2930 it. ³⁵And they built^H1129 the high places^H1116 of Baal^H1168, which are in the valley^H1516 of the son^H1121 of Hinnom^H2011, to cause their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323 to pass^H5674 through the fire unto Molech^H4432; which I commanded^H6680 them not, neither came^H5927 it into my mind^H3820, that they should do^H6213 this abomination^H8441, to cause Judah^H3063 to sin^H2398.

³⁶And now therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, concerning this city^H5892, whereof ye say^H0559, It shall be delivered^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 by the sword^H2719, and by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698; ³⁷Behold, I will gather them out^H6908 of all countries^H0776, whither I have driven^H5080 them in mine anger^H0639, and in my fury^H2534, and in great^H1419 wrath^H7110; and I will bring them again^H7725 unto this place^H4725, and I will cause them to dwell^H3427 safely^H0983: ³⁸And they shall be my people^H5971, and I will be their God^H0430: ³⁹And I will give^H5414 them one^H0259 heart^H3820, and one^H0259 way^H1870, that they may fear^H3372 me for ever^H3117, for the good^H2896 of them, and of their children^H1121 after^H0310 them: ⁴⁰And I will make^H3772 an everlasting^H5769 covenant^H1285 with them, that I will not turn away^H7725 from them^H0310, to do them good^H3190; but I will put^H5414 my fear^H3374 in their hearts^H3824, that they shall not depart^H5493 from me. ⁴¹Yea, I will rejoice^H7797 over them to do them good^H2895, and I will plant^H5193 them in this land^H0776 assuredly^H0571 with my whole heart^H3820 and with my whole soul^H5315. ⁴²For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Like as I have brought^H0935 all this great^H1419 evil^H7451 upon this people^H5971, so will I bring^H0935 upon them all the good^H2896 that I have promised^H1696 them. ⁴³And fields^H7704 shall be bought^H7069 in this land^H0776, whereof ye say^H0559, It is desolate^H8077 without man^H0120 or beast^H0929; it is given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778. ⁴⁴Men shall buy^H7069 fields^H7704 for money^H3701, and subscribe^H3789 evidences^H5612, and seal^H2856 them , and take^H5749 witnesses^H5707 in the land^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144, and in the places about^H5439 Jerusalem^H3389, and in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the cities^H5892 of the mountains^H2022, and in the cities^H5892 of the valley^H8219, and in the cities^H5892 of the south^H5045: for I will cause their captivity^H7622 to return^H7725, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 33

¹Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jeremiah^H3414 the second^H8145 time, while he was yet shut up^H6113 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 the maker^H6213 thereof, the LORD^H3068 that formed^H3335 it, to establish^H3559 it; the LORD^H3068 is his name^H8034; ³Call^H7121 unto me, and I will answer^H6030 thee, and shew^H5046 thee great^H1419 and mighty things^H1219, which thou knowest^H3045 not. ⁴For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, concerning the houses^H1004 of this city^H5892, and concerning the houses^H1004 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, which are thrown down^H5422 by the mounts^H5550, and by the sword^H2719; ⁵They come^H0935 to fight^H3898 with the Chaldeans^H3778, but it is to fill^H4390 them with the dead bodies^H6297 of men^H0120, whom I have slain^H5221 in mine anger^H0639 and in my fury^H2534, and for all whose wickedness^H7451 I have hid^H5641 my face^H6440 from this city^H5892. ⁶Behold, I will bring^H5927 it health^H0724 and cure^H4832, and I will cure^H7495 them, and will reveal^H1540 unto them the abundance^H6283 of peace^H7965 and truth^H0571. ⁷And I will cause the captivity^H7622 of Judah^H3063 and the captivity^H7622 of Israel^H3478 to return^H7725, and will build^H1129 them, as at the first^H7223. ⁸And I will cleanse^H2891 them from all their iniquity^H5771, whereby they have sinned^H2398 against me; and I will pardon^H5545 all their iniquities^H5771, whereby they have sinned^H2398, and whereby they have transgressed^H6586 against me.

⁹And it shall be to me a name^H8034 of joy^H8342, a praise^H8416 and an honour^H8597 before all the nations^H1471 of the earth^H0776, which shall hear^H8085 all the good^H2896 that I do^H6213 unto them: and they shall fear^H6342 and tremble^H7264 for all the goodness^H2896 and for all the prosperity^H7965 that I procure^H6213 unto it.

¹⁰Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Again there shall be heard^H8085 in this place^H4725, which ye say^H0559 shall be desolate^H2720 without man^H0120 and without beast^H0929, even in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, that are desolate^H8074, without man^H0120, and without inhabitant^H3427, and without beast^H0929, ¹¹The voice^H6963 of joy^H8342, and the voice^H6963 of gladness^H8057, the voice^H6963 of the bridegroom^H2860, and the voice^H6963 of the bride^H3618, the voice^H6963 of them that shall say^H0559, Praise^H3034 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635: for the LORD^H3068 is good^H2896; for his mercy^H2617 endureth for ever^H5769: and of them that shall bring^H0935 the sacrifice of praise^H8426 into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068. For I will cause to return^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of the land^H0776, as at the first^H7223, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068. ¹²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Again in this place^H4725, which is desolate^H2720 without man^H0120 and without beast^H0929, and in all the cities^H5892 thereof, shall be an habitation^H5116 of shepherds^H7462 causing their flocks^H6629 to lie down^H7257. ¹³In the cities^H5892 of the mountains^H2022, in the cities^H5892 of the vale^H8219, and in the cities^H5892 of the south^H5045, and in the land^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144, and in the places about^H5439 Jerusalem^H3389, and in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, shall the flocks^H6629 pass again^H5674 under the hands^H3027 of him that telleth^H4487 them , saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁴Behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will perform^H6965 that good^H2896 thing^H1697 which I have promised^H1696 unto the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 and to the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063.

¹⁵In those days^H3117, and at that time^H6256, will I cause the Branch^H6780 of righteousness^H6666 to grow up^H6779 unto David^H1732; and he shall execute^H6213 judgment^H4941 and righteousness^H6666 in the land^H0776. ¹⁶In those days^H3117 shall Judah^H3063 be saved^H3467, and Jerusalem^H3389 shall dwell^H7931 safely^H0983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called^H7121, The LORD our righteousness^H3072.

¹⁷For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; David^H1732 shall never^H3808 want^H3772 a man^H0376 to sit^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478; ¹⁸Neither shall the priests^H3548 the Levites^H3881 want^H3772 a man^H0376 before^H6440 me to offer^H5927 burnt offerings^H5930, and to kindle^H6999 meat offerings^H4503, and to do^H6213 sacrifice^H2077 continually^H3117.

¹⁹And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ²⁰Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; If ye can break^H6565 my covenant^H1285 of the day^H3117, and my covenant^H1285 of the night^H3915, and that there should not be day^H3119 and night^H3915 in their season^H6256; ²¹ Then may also my covenant^H1285 be broken^H6565 with David^H1732 my servant^H5650, that he should not have a son^H1121 to reign^H4427 upon his throne^H3678; and with the Levites^H3881 the priests^H3548, my ministers^H8334. ²²As the host^H6635 of heaven^H8064 cannot be numbered^H5608, neither the sand^H2344 of the sea^H3220 measured^H4058: so will I multiply^H7235 the seed^H2233 of David^H1732 my servant^H5650, and the Levites^H3881 that minister^H8334 unto me. ²³Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ²⁴Considerest^H7200 thou not what this people^H5971 have spoken^H1696, saying^H0559, The two^H8147 families^H4940 which the LORD^H3068 hath chosen^H0977, he hath even cast them off^H3988? thus they have despised^H5006 my people^H5971, that they should be no more a nation^H1471 before^H6440 them. ²⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; If my covenant^H1285 be not with day^H3119 and night^H3915, and if I have not appointed^H7760 the ordinances^H2708 of heaven^H8064 and earth^H0776; ²⁶Then^H1571 will I cast away^H3988 the seed^H2233 of Jacob^H3290, and David^H1732 my servant^H5650, so that I will not take^H3947 any of his seed^H2233 to be rulers^H4910 over the seed^H2233 of Abraham^H0085, Isaac^H3446, and Jacob^H3290: for I will cause their captivity^H7622 to return^H7725, and have mercy^H7355 on them.

Jeremiah: Chapter 34

¹The word^H1697 which came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, when Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and all his army^H2428, and all the kingdoms^H4467 of the earth^H0776 of his dominion^H3027, and all the people^H5971, fought^H3898 against Jerusalem^H3389, and against all the cities^H5892 thereof, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Go^H1980 and speak^H0559 to Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and tell^H0559 him, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will give^H5414 this city^H5892 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall burn^H8313 it with fire^H0784: ³And thou shalt not escape out^H4422 of his hand^H3027, but shalt surely^H8610 be taken^H8610, and delivered^H5414 into his hand^H3027; and thine eyes^H5869 shall behold^H7200 the eyes^H5869 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and he shall speak^H1696 with thee mouth^H6310 to mouth^H6310, and thou shalt go^H0935 to Babylon^H0894. ⁴Yet hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of thee, Thou shalt not die^H4191 by the sword^H2719: ⁵ But thou shalt die^H4191 in peace^H7965: and with the burnings^H4955 of thy fathers^H0001, the former^H7223 kings^H4428 which were before^H6440 thee, so shall they burn^H8313 odours for thee; and they will lament^H5594 thee, saying , Ah^H1945 lord^H0113! for I have pronounced^H1696 the word^H1697, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁶Then Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 spake^H1696 all these words^H1697 unto Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 in Jerusalem^H3389, ⁷When the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 army^H2428 fought^H3898 against Jerusalem^H3389, and against all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 that were left^H3498, against Lachish^H3923, and against Azekah^H5825: for these defenced^H4013 cities^H5892 remained^H7604 of the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063.

⁸ This is the word^H1697 that came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, after^H0310 that the king^H4428 Zedekiah^H6667 had made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with all the people^H5971 which were at Jerusalem^H3389, to proclaim^H7121 liberty^H1865 unto them; ⁹That every man^H0376 should let his manservant^H5650, and every man^H0376 his maidservant^H8198, being an Hebrew^H5680 or an Hebrewess^H5680, go^H7971 free^H2670; that none should serve^H5647 himself of them, to wit , of a Jew^H3064 his brother^H0251. ¹⁰Now when all the princes^H8269, and all the people^H5971, which had entered^H0935 into the covenant^H1285, heard^H8085 that every one^H0376 should let his manservant^H5650, and every one^H0376 his maidservant^H8198, go^H7971 free^H2670, that none should serve^H5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyed^H8085, and let them go^H7971. ¹¹But afterward^H0310 they turned^H7725, and caused the servants^H5650 and the handmaids^H8198, whom they had let go^H7971 free^H2670, to return^H7725, and brought them into subjection^H3533 for servants^H5650 and for handmaids^H8198.

¹²Therefore the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ¹³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; I made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with your fathers^H0001 in the day^H3117 that I brought them forth^H3318 out of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, out of the house^H1004 of bondmen^H5650, saying^H0559, ¹⁴At the end^H7093 of seven^H7651 years^H8141 let ye go^H7971 every man^H0376 his brother^H0251 an Hebrew^H5680, which hath been sold^H4376 unto thee; and when he hath served^H5647 thee six^H8337 years^H8141, thou shalt let him go^H7971 free^H2670 from thee: but your fathers^H0001 hearkened^H8085 not unto me, neither inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241. ¹⁵And ye were now^H3117 turned^H7725, and had done^H6213 right^H3477 in my sight^H5869, in proclaiming^H7121 liberty^H1865 every man^H0376 to his neighbour^H7453; and ye had made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 before^H6440 me in the house^H1004 which is called^H7121 by my name^H8034: ¹⁶But ye turned^H7725 and polluted^H2490 my name^H8034, and caused every man^H0376 his servant^H5650, and every man^H0376 his handmaid^H8198, whom ye had set^H7971 at liberty^H2670 at their pleasure^H5315, to return^H7725, and brought them into subjection^H3533, to be unto you for servants^H5650 and for handmaids^H8198. ¹⁷Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Ye have not hearkened^H8085 unto me, in proclaiming^H7121 liberty^H1865, every one^H0376 to his brother^H0251, and every man^H0376 to his neighbour^H7453: behold, I proclaim^H7121 a liberty^H1865 for you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, to the sword^H2719, to the pestilence^H1698, and to the famine^H7458; and I will make^H5414 you to be removed^H2189 into all the kingdoms^H4467 of the earth^H0776. ¹⁸And I will give^H5414 the men^H0582 that have transgressed^H5674 my covenant^H1285, which have not performed^H6965 the words^H1697 of the covenant^H1285 which they had made^H3772 before^H6440 me, when they cut^H3772 the calf^H5695 in twain^H8147, and passed^H5674 between the parts^H1335 thereof, ¹⁹The princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063, and the princes^H8269 of Jerusalem^H3389, the eunuchs^H5631, and the priests^H3548, and all the people^H5971 of the land^H0776, which passed^H5674 between the parts^H1335 of the calf^H5695; ²⁰I will even give^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H0341, and into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 their life^H5315: and their dead bodies^H5038 shall be for meat^H3978 unto the fowls^H5775 of the heaven^H8064, and to the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776. ²¹And Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 and his princes^H8269 will I give^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H0341, and into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 their life^H5315, and into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 army^H2428, which are gone up^H5927 from you. ²²Behold, I will command^H6680, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and cause them to return^H7725 to this city^H5892; and they shall fight^H3898 against it, and take^H3920 it, and burn^H8313 it with fire^H0784: and I will make^H5414 the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 a desolation^H8077 without an inhabitant^H3427.

Jeremiah: Chapter 35

¹The word^H1697 which came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068 in the days^H3117 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, saying^H0559, ²Go^H1980 unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, and speak^H1696 unto them, and bring^H0935 them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into one^H0259 of the chambers^H3957, and give them wine^H3196 to drink^H8248. ³Then I took^H3947 Jaazaniah^H2970 the son^H1121 of Jeremiah^H3414, the son^H1121 of Habaziniah^H2262, and his brethren^H0251, and all his sons^H1121, and the whole house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397; ⁴And I brought^H0935 them into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, into the chamber^H3957 of the sons^H1121 of Hanan^H2605, the son^H1121 of Igdaliah^H3012, a man^H0376 of God^H0430, which was by^H0681 the chamber^H3957 of the princes^H8269, which was above^H4605 the chamber^H3957 of Maaseiah^H4641 the son^H1121 of Shallum^H7967, the keeper^H8104 of the door^H5592: ⁵And I set^H5414 before^H6440 the sons^H1121 of the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397 pots^H1375 full^H4392 of wine^H3196, and cups^H3563, and I said^H0559 unto them, Drink^H8354 ye wine^H3196. ⁶But they said^H0559, We will drink^H8354 no wine^H3196: for Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H0001 commanded^H6680 us, saying^H0559, Ye shall drink^H8354 no wine^H3196, neither ye , nor your sons^H1121 for^H5704 ever^H5769: ⁷Neither shall ye build^H1129 house^H1004, nor sow^H2232 seed^H2233, nor plant^H5193 vineyard^H3754, nor have any: but all your days^H3117 ye shall dwell^H3427 in tents^H0168; that ye may live^H2421 many^H7227 days^H3117 in^H6440 the land^H0127 where ye be strangers^H1481. ⁸Thus have we obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 our father^H0001 in all that he hath charged^H6680 us, to drink^H8354 no wine^H3196 all our days^H3117, we, our wives^H0802, our sons^H1121, nor our daughters^H1323; ⁹Nor to build^H1129 houses^H1004 for us to dwell in^H3427: neither have we vineyard^H3754, nor field^H7704, nor seed^H2233: ¹⁰But we have dwelt in^H3427 tents^H0168, and have obeyed^H8085, and done^H6213 according to all that Jonadab^H3122 our father^H0001 commanded^H6680 us. ¹¹But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 came up^H5927 into the land^H0776, that we said^H0559, Come^H0935, and let us go^H0935 to Jerusalem^H3389 for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and for fear^H6440 of the army^H2428 of the Syrians^H0758: so we dwell^H3427 at Jerusalem^H3389.

¹²Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ¹³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Go^H1980 and tell^H0559 the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063 and the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, Will ye not receive^H3947 instruction^H4148 to hearken^H8085 to my words^H1697? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁴The words^H1697 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394, that he commanded^H6680 his sons^H1121 not to drink^H8354 wine^H3196, are performed^H6965; for unto this day^H3117 they drink^H8354 none, but obey^H8085 their fathers^H0001 commandment^H4687: notwithstanding I have spoken^H1696 unto you, rising early^H7925 and speaking^H1696; but ye hearkened^H8085 not unto me. ¹⁵I have sent^H7971 also unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising up early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them , saying^H0559, Return^H7725 ye now every man^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870, and amend^H3190 your doings^H4611, and go^H3212 not after^H0310 other^H0312 gods^H0430 to serve^H5647 them, and ye shall dwell in^H3427 the land^H0127 which I have given^H5414 to you and to your fathers^H0001: but ye have not inclined^H5186 your ear^H0241, nor hearkened^H8085 unto me. ¹⁶Because the sons^H1121 of Jonadab^H3082 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 have performed^H6965 the commandment^H4687 of their father^H0001, which he commanded^H6680 them; but this people^H5971 hath not hearkened^H8085 unto me: ¹⁷Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 God^H0430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H0935 upon Judah^H3063 and upon all the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389 all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696 against them: because I have spoken^H1696 unto them, but they have not heard^H8085; and I have called^H7121 unto them, but they have not answered^H6030.

¹⁸And Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto the house^H1004 of the Rechabites^H7397, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Because ye have obeyed^H8085 the commandment^H4687 of Jonadab^H3082 your father^H0001, and kept^H8104 all his precepts^H4687, and done^H6213 according unto all that he hath commanded^H6680 you: ¹⁹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Jonadab^H3122 the son^H1121 of Rechab^H7394 shall not want^H3772 a man^H0376 to stand^H5975 before^H6440 me for ever^H3117.

Jeremiah: Chapter 36

¹And it came to pass in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that this word^H1697 came unto Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, saying^H0559, ²Take^H3947 thee a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612, and write^H3789 therein all the words^H1697 that I have spoken^H1696 unto thee against Israel^H3478, and against Judah^H3063, and against all the nations^H1471, from the day^H3117 I spake^H1696 unto thee, from the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977, even unto this day^H3117. ³It may be that the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063 will hear^H8085 all the evil^H7451 which I purpose^H2803 to do^H6213 unto them; that they may return^H7725 every man^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870; that I may forgive^H5545 their iniquity^H5771 and their sin^H2403. ⁴Then Jeremiah^H3414 called^H7121 Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374: and Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789 from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he had spoken^H1696 unto him, upon a roll^H4039 of a book^H5612. ⁵And Jeremiah^H3414 commanded^H6680 Baruch^H1263, saying^H0559, I am shut up^H6113; I cannot^H3201 go^H0935 into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068: ⁶Therefore go^H0935 thou, and read^H7121 in the roll^H4039, which thou hast written^H3789 from my mouth^H6310, the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the ears^H0241 of the people^H5971 in the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004 upon the fasting^H6685 day^H3117: and also thou shalt read^H7121 them in the ears^H0241 of all Judah^H3063 that come out^H0935 of their cities^H5892. ⁷It may be they will present^H5307 their supplication^H8467 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, and will return^H7725 every one^H0376 from his evil^H7451 way^H1870: for great^H1419 is the anger^H0639 and the fury^H2534 that the LORD^H3068 hath pronounced^H1696 against this people^H5971. ⁸And Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 did^H6213 according to all that Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 commanded^H6680 him, reading^H7121 in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 in the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004.

⁹And it came to pass in the fifth^H2549 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320, that they proclaimed^H7121 a fast^H6685 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 to all the people^H5971 in Jerusalem^H3389, and to all the people^H5971 that came^H0935 from the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 unto Jerusalem^H3389. ¹⁰Then read^H7121 Baruch^H1263 in the book^H5612 the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, in the chamber^H3957 of Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 the scribe^H5608, in the higher^H5945 court^H2691, at the entry^H6607 of the new^H2319 gate^H8179 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004, in the ears^H0241 of all the people^H5971.

¹¹When Michaiah^H4321 the son^H1121 of Gemariah^H1587, the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, had heard^H8085 out of the book^H5612 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, ¹²Then he went down^H3381 into the kings^H4428 house^H1004, into the scribes^H5608 chamber^H3957: and, lo, all the princes^H8269 sat^H3427 there, even Elishama^H0476 the scribe^H5608, and Delaiah^H1806 the son^H1121 of Shemaiah^H8098, and Elnathan^H0494 the son^H1121 of Achbor^H5907, and Gemariah^H1587 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, and Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Hananiah^H2608, and all the princes^H8269. ¹³Then Michaiah^H4321 declared^H5046 unto them all the words^H1697 that he had heard^H8085, when Baruch^H1263 read^H7121 the book^H5612 in the ears^H0241 of the people^H5971. ¹⁴Therefore all the princes^H8269 sent^H7971 Jehudi^H3065 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018, the son^H1121 of Cushi^H3570, unto Baruch^H1263, saying^H0559, Take^H3947 in thine hand^H3027 the roll^H4039 wherein thou hast read^H7121 in the ears^H0241 of the people^H5971, and come^H3212. So Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 took^H3947 the roll^H4039 in his hand^H3027, and came^H0935 unto them. ¹⁵And they said^H0559 unto him, Sit down^H3427 now, and read^H7121 it in our ears^H0241. So Baruch^H1263 read^H7121 it in their ears^H0241. ¹⁶Now it came to pass, when they had heard^H8085 all the words^H1697, they were afraid^H6342 both^H0413 one^H0376 and other^H7453, and said^H0559 unto Baruch^H1263, We will surely^H5046 tell^H5046 the king^H4428 of all these words^H1697. ¹⁷And they asked^H7592 Baruch^H1263, saying^H0559, Tell^H5046 us now, How didst thou write^H3789 all these words^H1697 at his mouth^H6310? ¹⁸Then Baruch^H1263 answered^H0559 them, He pronounced^H7121 all these words^H1697 unto me with his mouth^H6310, and I wrote^H3789 them with ink^H1773 in the book^H5612. ¹⁹Then said^H0559 the princes^H8269 unto Baruch^H1263, Go^H3212, hide^H5641 thee, thou and Jeremiah^H3414; and let no man^H0376 know^H3045 where^H0375 ye be.

²⁰And they went in^H0935 to the king^H4428 into the court^H2691, but they laid up^H6485 the roll^H4039 in the chamber^H3957 of Elishama^H0476 the scribe^H5608, and told^H5046 all the words^H1697 in the ears^H0241 of the king^H4428. ²¹So the king^H4428 sent^H7971 Jehudi^H3065 to fetch^H3947 the roll^H4039: and he took^H3947 it out of Elishama^H0476 the scribes^H5608 chamber^H3957. And Jehudi^H3065 read^H7121 it in the ears^H0241 of the king^H4428, and in the ears^H0241 of all the princes^H8269 which stood^H5975 beside^H5921 the king^H4428. ²²Now the king^H4428 sat^H3427 in the winterhouse^H1004 in the ninth^H8671 month^H2320: and there was a fire on the hearth^H0254 burning^H1197 before^H6440 him. ²³And it came to pass, that when Jehudi^H3065 had read^H7121 three^H7969 or four^H0702 leaves^H1817, he cut^H7167 it with the penknife^H8593, and cast^H7993 it into the fire^H0784 that was on the hearth^H0254, until all the roll^H4039 was consumed^H8552 in the fire^H0784 that was on the hearth^H0254. ²⁴Yet they were not afraid^H6342, nor rent^H7167 their garments^H0899, neither the king^H4428, nor any of his servants^H5650 that heard^H8085 all these words^H1697. ²⁵Nevertheless Elnathan^H0494 and Delaiah^H1806 and Gemariah^H1587 had made intercession^H6293 to the king^H4428 that he would not burn^H8313 the roll^H4039: but he would not hear^H8085 them. ²⁶But the king^H4428 commanded^H6680 Jerahmeel^H3396 the son^H1121 of Hammelech^H4429, and Seraiah^H8304 the son^H1121 of Azriel^H5837, and Shelemiah^H8018 the son^H1121 of Abdeel^H5655, to take^H3947 Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608 and Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030: but the LORD^H3068 hid^H5641 them.

²⁷Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Jeremiah^H3414, after^H0310 that the king^H4428 had burned^H8313 the roll^H4039, and the words^H1697 which Baruch^H1263 wrote^H3789 at the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ²⁸Take^H3947 thee again^H7725 another^H0312 roll^H4039, and write^H3789 in it all the former^H7223 words^H1697 that were in the first^H7223 roll^H4039, which Jehoiakim^H3079 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 hath burned^H8313. ²⁹And thou shalt say^H0559 to Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Thou hast burned^H8313 this roll^H4039, saying^H0559, Why hast thou written^H3789 therein, saying^H0559, The king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 shall certainly^H0935 come^H0935 and destroy^H7843 this land^H0776, and shall cause to cease^H7673 from thence man^H0120 and beast^H0929? ³⁰Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; He shall have none to sit^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732: and his dead body^H5038 shall be cast out^H7993 in the day^H3117 to the heat^H2721, and in the night^H3915 to the frost^H7140. ³¹And I will punish^H6485 him and his seed^H2233 and his servants^H5650 for their iniquity^H5771; and I will bring^H0935 upon them, and upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389, and upon the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063, all the evil^H7451 that I have pronounced^H1696 against them; but they hearkened^H8085 not.

³²Then took^H3947 Jeremiah^H3414 another^H0312 roll^H4039, and gave^H5414 it to Baruch^H1263 the scribe^H5608, the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374; who wrote^H3789 therein from the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414 all the words^H1697 of the book^H5612 which Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 had burned^H8313 in the fire^H0784: and there were added^H3254 besides unto them many^H7227 like^H1992 words^H1697.

Jeremiah: Chapter 37

¹And king^H4428 Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 reigned^H4427 instead of Coniah^H3659 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079, whom Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 made king^H4427 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063. ²But neither he, nor his servants^H5650, nor the people^H5971 of the land^H0776, did hearken^H8085 unto the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696 by^H3027 the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414. ³And Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 sent^H7971 Jehucal^H3081 the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018 and Zephaniah^H6846 the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4641 the priest^H3548 to the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, Pray^H6419 now unto the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 for us. ⁴Now Jeremiah^H3414 came in^H0935 and went out^H3318 among^H8432 the people^H5971: for they had not put^H5414 him into prison^H1004. ⁵Then Pharaohs^H6547 army^H2428 was come forth^H3318 out of Egypt^H4714: and when the Chaldeans^H3778 that besieged^H6696 Jerusalem^H3389 heard^H8085 tidings^H8088 of them, they departed^H5927 from Jerusalem^H3389.

⁶Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto the prophet^H5030 Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ⁷Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Thus shall ye say^H0559 to the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that sent^H7971 you unto me to enquire^H1875 of me; Behold, Pharaohs^H6547 army^H2428, which is come forth^H3318 to help^H5833 you, shall return^H7725 to Egypt^H4714 into their own land^H0776. ⁸And the Chaldeans^H3778 shall come again^H7725, and fight^H3898 against this city^H5892, and take^H3920 it, and burn^H8313 it with fire^H0784. ⁹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Deceive^H5377 not yourselves^H5315, saying^H0559, The Chaldeans^H3778 shall surely^H1980 depart^H3212 from us: for they shall not depart^H3212. ¹⁰For though ye had smitten^H5221 the whole army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778 that fight^H3898 against you, and there remained^H7604 but wounded^H1856 men^H0582 among them, yet should they rise up^H6965 every man^H0376 in his tent^H0168, and burn^H8313 this city^H5892 with fire^H0784.

¹¹And it came to pass, that when the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778 was broken up^H5927 from Jerusalem^H3389 for fear^H6440 of Pharaohs^H6547 army^H2428, ¹²Then Jeremiah^H3414 went forth^H3318 out of Jerusalem^H3389 to go^H3212 into the land^H0776 of Benjamin^H1144, to separate^H2505 himself thence in the midst^H8432 of the people^H5971. ¹³And when he was in the gate^H8179 of Benjamin^H1144, a captain^H1167 of the ward^H6488 was there, whose name^H8034 was Irijah^H3376, the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018, the son^H1121 of Hananiah^H2608; and he took^H8610 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, saying^H0559, Thou fallest away^H5307 to the Chaldeans^H3778. ¹⁴Then said^H0559 Jeremiah^H3414, It is false^H8267; I fall not away^H5307 to the Chaldeans^H3778. But he hearkened^H8085 not to him: so Irijah^H3376 took^H8610 Jeremiah^H3414, and brought^H0935 him to the princes^H8269. ¹⁵Wherefore the princes^H8269 were wroth^H7107 with Jeremiah^H3414, and smote^H5221 him, and put^H5414 him in prison^H0612 in the house^H1004 of Jonathan^H3083 the scribe^H5608: for they had made^H6213 that the prison^H3608.

¹⁶When Jeremiah^H3414 was entered^H0935 into the dungeon^H1004, and into the cabins^H2588, and Jeremiah^H3414 had remained^H3427 there many^H7227 days^H3117; ¹⁷Then Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 sent^H7971, and took him out^H3947: and the king^H4428 asked^H7592 him secretly^H5643 in his house^H1004, and said^H0559, Is there any word^H1697 from the LORD^H3068? And Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559, There is^H3426: for, said^H0559 he, thou shalt be delivered^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894. ¹⁸Moreover Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto king^H4428 Zedekiah^H6667, What have I offended^H2398 against thee, or against thy servants^H5650, or against this people^H5971, that ye have put^H5414 me in prison^H1004? ¹⁹Where are now^H0346 your prophets^H5030 which prophesied^H5012 unto you, saying^H0559, The king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 shall not come^H0935 against you, nor against this land^H0776? ²⁰Therefore hear^H8085 now, I pray thee, O my lord^H0113 the king^H4428: let my supplication^H8467, I pray thee, be accepted^H5307 before^H6440 thee; that thou cause me not to return^H7725 to the house^H1004 of Jonathan^H3083 the scribe^H5608, lest I die^H4191 there. ²¹Then Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 commanded^H6680 that they should commit^H6485 Jeremiah^H3414 into the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307, and that they should give^H5414 him daily^H3117 a piece^H3603 of bread^H3899 out of the bakers^H0644 street^H2351, until all the bread^H3899 in the city^H5892 were spent^H8552. Thus Jeremiah^H3414 remained^H3427 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307.

Jeremiah: Chapter 38

¹Then Shephatiah^H8203 the son^H1121 of Mattan^H4977, and Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Pashur^H6583, and Jucal^H3116 the son^H1121 of Shelemiah^H8018, and Pashur^H6583 the son^H1121 of Malchiah^H4441, heard^H8085 the words^H1697 that Jeremiah^H3414 had spoken^H1696 unto all the people^H5971, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, He that remaineth^H3427 in this city^H5892 shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698: but he that goeth forth^H3318 to the Chaldeans^H3778 shall live^H2421; for he shall have his life^H5315 for a prey^H7998, and shall live^H2421. ³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, This city^H5892 shall surely^H5414 be given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 army^H2428, which shall take^H3920 it. ⁴Therefore the princes^H8269 said^H0559 unto the king^H4428, We beseech thee, let this man^H0376 be put to death^H4191: for thus^H3651 he weakeneth^H7503 the hands^H3027 of the men^H0582 of war^H4421 that remain^H7604 in this city^H5892, and the hands^H3027 of all the people^H5971, in speaking^H1696 such words^H1697 unto them: for this man^H0376 seeketh^H1875 not the welfare^H7965 of this people^H5971, but the hurt^H7451. ⁵Then Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 said^H0559, Behold, he is in your hand^H3027: for the king^H4428 is not he that can^H3201 do any thing^H1697 against you. ⁶Then took^H3947 they Jeremiah^H3414, and cast^H7993 him into the dungeon^H0953 of Malchiah^H4441 the son^H1121 of Hammelech^H4428, that was in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307: and they let down^H7971 Jeremiah^H3414 with cords^H2256. And in the dungeon^H0953 there was no water^H4325, but mire^H2916: so Jeremiah^H3414 sunk^H2883 in the mire^H2916.

⁷Now when Ebed-melech^H5663 the Ethiopian^H3569, one^H0376 of the eunuchs^H5631 which was in the kings^H4428 house^H1004, heard^H8085 that they had put^H5414 Jeremiah^H3414 in the dungeon^H0953; the king^H4428 then sitting^H3427 in the gate^H8179 of Benjamin^H1144; ⁸ Ebed-melech^H5663 went forth^H3318 out of the kings^H4428 house^H1004, and spake^H1696 to the king^H4428, saying^H0559, ⁹My lord^H0113 the king^H4428, these men^H0582 have done evil^H7489 in all that they have done^H6213 to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, whom they have cast^H7993 into the dungeon^H0953; and he is like to die^H4191 for^H6440 hunger^H7458 in the place^H8478 where he is: for there is no more bread^H3899 in the city^H5892. ¹⁰Then the king^H4428 commanded^H6680 Ebed-melech^H5663 the Ethiopian^H3569, saying^H0559, Take^H3947 from hence thirty^H7970 men^H0582 with thee^H3027, and take up^H5927 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 out of the dungeon^H0953, before he die^H4191. ¹¹So Ebed-melech^H5663 took^H3947 the men^H0582 with him^H3027, and went^H0935 into the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 under the treasury^H0214, and took^H3947 thence old^H1094 cast clouts^H5499 and old^H1094 rotten rags^H4418, and let them down^H7971 by cords^H2256 into the dungeon^H0953 to Jeremiah^H3414. ¹²And Ebed-melech^H5663 the Ethiopian^H3569 said^H0559 unto Jeremiah^H3414, Put^H7760 now these old^H1094 cast clouts^H5499 and rotten rags^H4418 under thine armholes^H0679 under the cords^H2256. And Jeremiah^H3414 did^H6213 so. ¹³So they drew up^H4900 Jeremiah^H3414 with cords^H2256, and took him up^H5927 out of the dungeon^H0953: and Jeremiah^H3414 remained^H3427 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307.

¹⁴Then Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 sent^H7971, and took^H3947 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 unto him into the third^H7992 entry^H3996 that is in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068: and the king^H4428 said^H0559 unto Jeremiah^H3414, I will ask^H7592 thee a thing^H1697; hide^H3582 nothing from me. ¹⁵Then Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto Zedekiah^H6667, If I declare^H5046 it unto thee, wilt thou not surely^H4191 put me to death^H4191? and if I give thee counsel^H3289, wilt thou not hearken^H8085 unto me? ¹⁶So Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 sware^H7650 secretly^H5643 unto Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, As the LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, that made^H6213 us this soul^H5315, I will not put thee to death^H4191, neither will I give^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of these men^H0582 that seek^H1245 thy life^H5315. ¹⁷Then said^H0559 Jeremiah^H3414 unto Zedekiah^H6667, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; If thou wilt assuredly^H3318 go forth^H3318 unto the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 princes^H8269, then thy soul^H5315 shall live^H2421, and this city^H5892 shall not be burned^H8313 with fire^H0784; and thou shalt live^H2421, and thine house^H1004: ¹⁸But if thou wilt not go forth^H3318 to the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 princes^H8269, then shall this city^H5892 be given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and they shall burn^H8313 it with fire^H0784, and thou shalt not escape out^H4422 of their hand^H3027. ¹⁹And Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 said^H0559 unto Jeremiah^H3414, I am afraid^H1672 of the Jews^H3064 that are fallen^H5307 to the Chaldeans^H3778, lest they deliver^H5414 me into their hand^H3027, and they mock^H5953 me. ²⁰But Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559, They shall not deliver^H5414 thee . Obey^H8085, I beseech thee, the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068, which I speak^H1696 unto thee: so it shall be well^H3190 unto thee, and thy soul^H5315 shall live^H2421. ²¹But if thou refuse^H3986 to go forth^H3318, this is the word^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 hath shewed^H7200 me: ²²And, behold, all the women^H0802 that are left^H7604 in the king^H4428 of Judahs^H3063 house^H1004 shall be brought forth^H3318 to the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 princes^H8269, and those women shall say^H0559, Thy friends^H0582 have set thee on^H5496, and have prevailed^H3201 against thee: thy feet^H7272 are sunk^H2883 in the mire^H1206, and they are turned away^H5472 back^H0268. ²³So they shall bring out^H3318 all thy wives^H0802 and thy children^H1121 to the Chaldeans^H3778: and thou shalt not escape out^H4422 of their hand^H3027, but shalt be taken^H8610 by the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894: and thou shalt cause this city^H5892 to be burned^H8313 with fire^H0784.

²⁴Then said^H0559 Zedekiah^H6667 unto Jeremiah^H3414, Let no man^H0376 know^H3045 of these words^H1697, and thou shalt not die^H4191. ²⁵But if the princes^H8269 hear^H8085 that I have talked^H1696 with thee, and they come^H0935 unto thee, and say^H0559 unto thee, Declare^H5046 unto us now what thou hast said^H1696 unto the king^H4428, hide^H3582 it not from us, and we will not put thee to death^H4191; also what the king^H4428 said^H1696 unto thee: ²⁶Then thou shalt say^H0559 unto them, I presented^H5307 my supplication^H8467 before^H6440 the king^H4428, that he would not cause me to return^H7725 to Jonathans^H3083 house^H1004, to die^H4191 there. ²⁷Then came^H0935 all the princes^H8269 unto Jeremiah^H3414, and asked^H7592 him: and he told^H5046 them according to all these words^H1697 that the king^H4428 had commanded^H6680. So they left off speaking^H2790 with him; for the matter^H1697 was not perceived^H8085. ²⁸So Jeremiah^H3414 abode^H3427 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307 until the day^H3117 that Jerusalem^H3389 was taken^H3920: and he was there when Jerusalem^H3389 was taken^H3920.

Jeremiah: Chapter 39

¹In the ninth^H8671 year^H8141 of Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the tenth^H6224 month^H2320, came^H0935 Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 and all his army^H2428 against Jerusalem^H3389, and they besieged^H6696 it. ² And in the eleventh^H6249 year^H8141 of Zedekiah^H6667, in the fourth^H7243 month^H2320, the ninth^H8672 day of the month^H2320, the city^H5892 was broken up^H1234. ³And all the princes^H8269 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 came in^H0935, and sat^H3427 in the middle^H8432 gate^H8179, even Nergal-sharezer^H5371, Samgar-nebo^H5562, Sarsechim^H8310, Rab-saris^H7249, Nergal-sharezer^H5371, Rab-mag^H7248, with all the residue^H7611 of the princes^H8269 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894.

⁴And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 saw^H7200 them, and all the men^H0582 of war^H4421, then they fled^H1272, and went forth^H3318 out of the city^H5892 by night^H3915, by the way^H1870 of the kings^H4428 garden^H1588, by the gate^H8179 betwixt the two walls^H2346: and he went out^H3318 the way^H1870 of the plain^H6160. ⁵But the Chaldeans^H3778 army^H2428 pursued^H7291 after^H0310 them, and overtook^H5381 Zedekiah^H6667 in the plains^H6160 of Jericho^H3405: and when they had taken^H3947 him, they brought him up^H5927 to Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 to Riblah^H7247 in the land^H0776 of Hamath^H2574, where he gave^H1696 judgment^H4941 upon him. ⁶Then the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 slew^H7819 the sons^H1121 of Zedekiah^H6667 in Riblah^H7247 before his eyes^H5869: also the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 slew^H7819 all the nobles^H2715 of Judah^H3063. ⁷Moreover he put out^H5786 Zedekiahs^H6667 eyes^H5869, and bound^H0631 him with chains^H5178, to carry^H0935 him to Babylon^H0894.

⁸And the Chaldeans^H3778 burned^H8313 the kings^H4428 house^H1004, and the houses^H1004 of the people^H5971, with fire^H0784, and brake down^H5422 the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389. ⁹Then Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 carried away captive^H1540 into Babylon^H0894 the remnant^H3499 of the people^H5971 that remained^H7604 in the city^H5892, and those that fell away^H5307, that fell^H5307 to him, with the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971 that remained^H7604. ¹⁰But Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 left^H7604 of the poor^H1800 of the people^H5971, which had nothing^H3972, in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, and gave^H5414 them vineyards^H3754 and fields^H3010 at the same time^H3117.

¹¹Now Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 gave charge^H6680 concerning Jeremiah^H3414 to^H3027 Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876, saying^H0559, ¹²Take^H3947 him, and look well^H5869 to him, and do^H6213 him no harm^H3972; but do^H6213 unto him even as he shall say^H1696 unto thee. ¹³So Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 sent^H7971, and Nebushasban^H5021, Rab-saris^H7249, and Nergal-sharezer^H5371, Rab-mag^H7248, and all the king^H4428 of Babylons^H0894 princes^H7227; ¹⁴Even they sent^H7971, and took^H3947 Jeremiah^H3414 out of the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307, and committed^H5414 him unto Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, that he should carry^H3318 him home^H1004: so he dwelt^H3427 among^H8432 the people^H5971.

¹⁵Now the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jeremiah^H3414, while he was shut up^H6113 in the court^H2691 of the prison^H4307, saying^H0559, ¹⁶Go^H1980 and speak^H0559 to Ebed-melech^H5663 the Ethiopian^H3569, saying^H0559, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will bring^H0935 my words^H1697 upon this city^H5892 for evil^H7451, and not for good^H2896; and they shall be accomplished in that day^H3117 before^H6440 thee. ¹⁷But I will deliver^H5337 thee in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: and thou shalt not be given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the men^H0582 of whom^H6440 thou art afraid^H3016. ¹⁸For I will surely^H4422 deliver^H4422 thee, and thou shalt not fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719, but thy life^H5315 shall be for a prey^H7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust^H0982 in me, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 40

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 from the LORD^H3068, after^H0310 that Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 had let him go^H7971 from Ramah^H7414, when he had taken^H3947 him being bound^H0631 in chains^H0246 among^H8432 all that were carried away captive^H1546 of Jerusalem^H3389 and Judah^H3063, which were carried away captive^H1540 unto Babylon^H0894. ²And the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 took^H3947 Jeremiah^H3414, and said^H0559 unto him, The LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430 hath pronounced^H1696 this evil^H7451 upon this place^H4725. ³Now the LORD^H3068 hath brought^H0935 it , and done^H6213 according as he hath said^H1696: because ye have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, and have not obeyed^H8085 his voice^H6963, therefore this thing^H1697 is come upon you. ⁴And now, behold, I loose^H6605 thee this day^H3117 from the chains^H0246 which were upon thine hand^H3027. If it seem good^H2896 unto thee to come^H0935 with me into Babylon^H0894, come^H0935; and I will look well^H7760 unto thee: but if it seem ill^H7489 unto thee to come^H0935 with me into Babylon^H0894, forbear^H2308: behold^H7200, all the land^H0776 is before^H6440 thee: whither it seemeth^H0413 good^H2896 and convenient^H3477 for thee to go^H3212, thither go^H3212. ⁵Now while he was not yet gone back^H7725, he said , Go back^H7725 also to Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, whom the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 hath made governor^H6485 over the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and dwell^H3427 with him among^H8432 the people^H5971: or go^H3212 wheresoever it seemeth convenient^H3477 unto thee to go^H3212. So the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 gave^H5414 him victuals^H0737 and a reward^H4864, and let him go^H7971. ⁶Then went^H0935 Jeremiah^H3414 unto Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 to Mizpah^H4708; and dwelt^H3427 with him among^H8432 the people^H5971 that were left^H7604 in the land^H0776.

⁷Now when all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 which were in the fields^H7704, even they and their men^H0582, heard^H8085 that the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 had made Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 governor^H6485 in the land^H0776, and had committed^H6485 unto him men^H0582, and women^H0802, and children^H2945, and of the poor^H1803 of the land^H0776, of them that were not carried away captive^H1540 to Babylon^H0894; ⁸Then they came^H0935 to Gedaliah^H1436 to Mizpah^H4708, even Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, and Johanan^H3110 and Jonathan^H3129 the sons^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and Seraiah^H8304 the son^H1121 of Tanhumeth^H8576, and the sons^H1121 of Ephai^H5778 the Netophathite^H5200, and Jezaniah^H3153 the son^H1121 of a Maachathite^H4602, they and their men^H0582. ⁹And Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 sware^H7650 unto them and to their men^H0582, saying^H0559, Fear^H3372 not to serve^H5647 the Chaldeans^H3778: dwell in^H3427 the land^H0776, and serve^H5647 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and it shall be well^H3190 with you. ¹⁰As for me, behold, I will dwell^H3427 at Mizpah^H4709 to serve^H5975 the Chaldeans^H3778, which will come^H0935 unto us: but ye, gather^H0622 ye wine^H3196, and summer fruits^H7019, and oil^H8081, and put^H7760 them in your vessels^H3627, and dwell^H3427 in your cities^H5892 that ye have taken^H8610. ¹¹Likewise when all the Jews^H3064 that were in Moab^H4124, and among the Ammonites^H5983, and in Edom^H0123, and that were in all the countries^H0776, heard^H8085 that the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 had left^H5414 a remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, and that he had set^H6485 over them Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227; ¹²Even all the Jews^H3064 returned out^H7725 of all places^H4725 whither they were driven^H5080, and came^H0935 to the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, to Gedaliah^H1436, unto Mizpah^H4708, and gathered^H0622 wine^H3196 and summer fruits^H7019 very^H3966 much^H7235.

¹³Moreover Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 that were in the fields^H7704, came^H0935 to Gedaliah^H1436 to Mizpah^H4708, ¹⁴And said^H0559 unto him, Dost thou certainly^H3045 know^H3045 that Baalis^H1185 the king^H4428 of the Ammonites^H1121 hath sent^H7971 Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 to slay^H5221 thee? But Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 believed^H0539 them not. ¹⁵Then Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143 spake^H0559 to Gedaliah^H1436 in Mizpah^H4709 secretly^H5643, saying^H0559, Let me go^H3212, I pray thee, and I will slay^H5221 Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, and no man^H0376 shall know^H3045 it: wherefore should he slay^H5221 thee, that all the Jews^H3064 which are gathered^H6908 unto thee should be scattered^H6327, and the remnant^H7611 in Judah^H3063 perish^H0006? ¹⁶But Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 said^H0559 unto Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, Thou shalt not do^H6213 this thing^H1697: for thou speakest^H1696 falsely^H8267 of Ishmael^H3458.

Jeremiah: Chapter 41

¹Now it came to pass in the seventh^H7637 month^H2320, that Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 the son^H1121 of Elishama^H0476, of the seed^H2233 royal^H4410, and the princes^H7227 of the king^H4428, even ten^H6235 men^H0582 with him, came^H0935 unto Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 to Mizpah^H4709; and there they did eat^H0398 bread^H3899 together^H3162 in Mizpah^H4708. ²Then arose^H6965 Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, and the ten^H6235 men^H0582 that were with him, and smote^H5221 Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227 with the sword^H2719, and slew^H4191 him, whom the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 had made governor^H6485 over the land^H0776. ³ Ishmael^H3458 also slew^H5221 all the Jews^H3064 that were with him, even with Gedaliah^H1436, at Mizpah^H4709, and the Chaldeans^H3778 that were found^H4672 there, and the men^H0582 of war^H4421. ⁴And it came to pass the second^H8145 day^H3117 after he had slain^H4191 Gedaliah^H1436, and no man^H0376 knew^H3045 it , ⁵That there came^H0935 certain^H0582 from Shechem^H7927, from Shiloh^H7887, and from Samaria^H8111, even fourscore^H8084 men^H0376, having their beards^H2206 shaven^H1548, and their clothes^H0899 rent^H7167, and having cut^H1413 themselves, with offerings^H4503 and incense^H3828 in their hand^H3027, to bring^H0935 them to the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068. ⁶And Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 went forth^H3318 from Mizpah^H4709 to meet^H7125 them, weeping^H1058 all along^H1980 as he went^H1980: and it came to pass, as he met^H6298 them, he said^H0559 unto them, Come^H0935 to Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296. ⁷And it was so , when they came^H0935 into the midst^H8432 of the city^H5892, that Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 slew^H7819 them, and cast them into the midst^H8432 of the pit^H0953, he, and the men^H0582 that were with him. ⁸But ten^H6235 men^H0582 were found^H4672 among them that said^H0559 unto Ishmael^H3458, Slay^H4191 us not: for we have^H3426 treasures^H4301 in the field^H7704, of wheat^H2406, and of barley^H8184, and of oil^H8081, and of honey^H1706. So he forbare^H2308, and slew^H4191 them not among^H8432 their brethren^H0251. ⁹Now the pit^H0953 wherein Ishmael^H3458 had cast^H7993 all the dead bodies^H6297 of the men^H0582, whom he had slain^H5221 because^H3027 of Gedaliah^H1436, was it which Asa^H0609 the king^H4428 had made^H6213 for fear^H6440 of Baasha^H1201 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478: and Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 filled^H4390 it with them that were slain^H2491. ¹⁰Then Ishmael^H3458 carried away captive^H7617 all the residue^H7611 of the people^H5971 that were in Mizpah^H4709, even the kings^H4428 daughters^H1323, and all the people^H5971 that remained^H7604 in Mizpah^H4709, whom Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 had committed^H6485 to Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296: and Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 carried them away captive^H7617, and departed^H3212 to go over^H5674 to the Ammonites^H1121.

¹¹But when Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 that were with him, heard^H8085 of all the evil^H7451 that Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 had done^H6213, ¹²Then they took^H3947 all the men^H0582, and went^H3212 to fight^H3898 with Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, and found^H4672 him by the great^H7227 waters^H4325 that are in Gibeon^H1391. ¹³Now it came to pass, that when all the people^H5971 which were with Ishmael^H3458 saw^H7200 Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 that were with him, then they were glad^H8055. ¹⁴So all the people^H5971 that Ishmael^H3458 had carried away captive^H7617 from Mizpah^H4709 cast about^H5437 and returned^H7725, and went^H3212 unto Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143. ¹⁵But Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 escaped^H4422 from^H6440 Johanan^H3110 with eight^H8083 men^H0582, and went^H3212 to the Ammonites^H1121. ¹⁶Then took^H3947 Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 that were with him, all the remnant^H7611 of the people^H5971 whom he had recovered^H7725 from Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418, from Mizpah^H4709, after^H0310 that he had slain^H5221 Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296, even mighty^H1397 men^H0582 of war^H4421, and the women^H0802, and the children^H2945, and the eunuchs^H5631, whom he had brought again^H7725 from Gibeon^H1391: ¹⁷And they departed^H3212, and dwelt in^H3427 the habitation^H1628 of Chimham^H3643, which is by^H0681 Beth-lehem^H1035, to go^H3212 to enter^H0935 into Egypt^H4714, ¹⁸Because^H6440 of the Chaldeans^H3778: for they were afraid^H3372 of them, because Ishmael^H3458 the son^H1121 of Nethaniah^H5418 had slain^H5221 Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296, whom the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 made governor^H6485 in the land^H0776.

Jeremiah: Chapter 42

¹Then all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428, and Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and Jezaniah^H3153 the son^H1121 of Hoshaiah^H1955, and all the people^H5971 from the least^H6996 even unto the greatest^H1419, came near^H5066, ²And said^H0559 unto Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication^H8467 be accepted^H5307 before^H6440 thee, and pray^H6419 for us unto the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430, even for all this remnant^H7611; (for we are left^H7604 but a few^H4592 of many^H7235, as thine eyes^H5869 do behold^H7200 us:) ³That the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430 may shew^H5046 us the way^H1870 wherein we may walk^H3212, and the thing^H1697 that we may do^H6213. ⁴Then Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 said^H0559 unto them, I have heard^H8085 you; behold, I will pray^H6419 unto the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430 according to your words^H1697; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing^H1697 the LORD^H3068 shall answer^H6030 you, I will declare^H5046 it unto you; I will keep^H4513 nothing^H1697 back^H4513 from you. ⁵Then they said^H0559 to Jeremiah^H3414, The LORD^H3068 be a true^H0571 and faithful^H0539 witness^H5707 between us, if we do^H6213 not even according to all things^H1697 for the which the LORD^H3068 thy God^H0430 shall send^H7971 thee to us. ⁶Whether it be good^H2896, or whether it be evil^H7451, we will obey^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430, to whom we^H0580 send^H7971 thee; that it may be well^H3190 with us, when we obey^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430.

⁷And it came to pass after^H7093 ten^H6235 days^H3117, that the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto Jeremiah^H3414. ⁸Then called^H7121 he Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428 which were with him, and all the people^H5971 from the least^H6996 even to the greatest^H1419, ⁹And said^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, unto whom ye sent^H7971 me to present^H5307 your supplication^H8467 before^H6440 him; ¹⁰If ye will still^H7725 abide^H3427 in this land^H0776, then will I build^H1129 you, and not pull you down^H2040, and I will plant^H5193 you, and not pluck you up^H5428: for I repent^H5162 me of the evil^H7451 that I have done^H6213 unto you. ¹¹Be not afraid^H3372 of^H6440 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, of whom^H6440 ye are afraid^H3373; be not afraid^H3372 of him, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: for I am with you to save^H3467 you, and to deliver^H5337 you from his hand^H3027. ¹²And I will shew^H5414 mercies^H7356 unto you, that he may have mercy^H7355 upon you, and cause you to return^H7725 to your own land^H0127.

¹³But if ye say^H0559, We will not dwell^H3427 in this land^H0776, neither obey^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430, ¹⁴Saying^H0559, No; but we will go^H0935 into the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, where we shall see^H7200 no war^H4421, nor hear^H8085 the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, nor have hunger^H7456 of bread^H3899; and there will we dwell^H3427: ¹⁵And now therefore hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, ye remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063; Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; If ye wholly^H7760 set^H7760 your faces^H6440 to enter^H0935 into Egypt^H4714, and go^H0935 to sojourn^H1481 there; ¹⁶Then it shall come to pass, that the sword^H2719, which ye feared^H3373, shall overtake^H5381 you there in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, and the famine^H7458, whereof ye were afraid^H1672, shall follow close^H1692 after^H0310 you there in Egypt^H4714; and there ye shall die^H4191. ¹⁷So shall it be with all the men^H0582 that set^H7760 their faces^H6440 to go^H0935 into Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there; they shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698: and none of them shall remain^H8300 or escape^H6412 from^H6440 the evil^H7451 that I will bring^H0935 upon them. ¹⁸For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; As mine anger^H0639 and my fury^H2534 hath been poured forth^H5413 upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Jerusalem^H3389; so shall my fury^H2534 be poured forth^H5413 upon you, when ye shall enter^H0935 into Egypt^H4714: and ye shall be an execration^H0423, and an astonishment^H8047, and a curse^H7045, and a reproach^H2781; and ye shall see^H7200 this place^H4725 no more.

¹⁹The LORD^H3068 hath said^H1696 concerning you, O ye remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063; Go^H0935 ye not into Egypt^H4714: know^H3045 certainly^H3045 that I have admonished^H5749 you this day^H3117. ²⁰For ye dissembled^H8582 in your hearts^H5315, when ye sent^H7971 me unto the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430, saying^H0559, Pray^H6419 for us unto the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430; and according unto all that the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 shall say^H0559, so declare^H5046 unto us, and we will do^H6213 it . ²¹And now I have this day^H3117 declared^H5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H0430, nor any thing for the which he hath sent^H7971 me unto you. ²²Now therefore know^H3045 certainly^H3045 that ye shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698, in the place^H4725 whither ye desire^H2654 to go^H0935 and to sojourn^H1481.

Jeremiah: Chapter 43

¹And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah^H3414 had made an end^H3615 of speaking^H1696 unto all the people^H5971 all the words^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430, for which the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430 had sent^H7971 him to them, even all these words^H1697, ²Then spake^H0559 Azariah^H5838 the son^H1121 of Hoshaiah^H1955, and Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the proud^H2086 men^H0582, saying^H0559 unto Jeremiah^H3414, Thou speakest^H1696 falsely^H8267: the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430 hath not sent^H7971 thee to say^H0559, Go^H0935 not into Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there: ³But Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374 setteth thee on^H5496 against us, for to^H4616 deliver^H5414 us into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778, that they might put us to death^H4191, and carry us away captives^H1540 into Babylon^H0894. ⁴So Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428, and all the people^H5971, obeyed^H8085 not the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068, to dwell^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063. ⁵But Johanan^H3110 the son^H1121 of Kareah^H7143, and all the captains^H8269 of the forces^H2428, took^H3947 all the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, that were returned^H7725 from all nations^H1471, whither they had been driven^H5080, to dwell^H1481 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063; ⁶ Even men^H1397, and women^H0802, and children^H2945, and the kings^H4428 daughters^H1323, and every person^H5315 that Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 had left^H3240 with Gedaliah^H1436 the son^H1121 of Ahikam^H0296 the son^H1121 of Shaphan^H8227, and Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, and Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374. ⁷So they came^H0935 into the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714: for they obeyed^H8085 not the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068: thus came^H0935 they even to Tahpanhes^H8471.

⁸Then came the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 unto Jeremiah^H3414 in Tahpanhes^H8471, saying^H0559, ⁹Take^H3947 great^H1419 stones^H0068 in thine hand^H3027, and hide^H2934 them in the clay^H4423 in the brickkiln^H4404, which is at the entry^H6607 of Pharaohs^H6547 house^H1004 in Tahpanhes^H8471, in the sight^H5869 of the men^H0582 of Judah^H3064; ¹⁰And say^H0559 unto them, Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will send^H7971 and take^H3947 Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, my servant^H5650, and will set^H7760 his throne^H3678 upon^H4605 these stones^H0068 that I have hid^H2934; and he shall spread^H5186 his royal pavilion^H8237 over them. ¹¹And when he cometh^H0935, he shall smite^H5221 the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, and deliver such as are for death^H4194 to death^H4194; and such as are for captivity^H7628 to captivity^H7628; and such as are for the sword^H2719 to the sword^H2719. ¹²And I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H0784 in the houses^H1004 of the gods^H0430 of Egypt^H4714; and he shall burn^H8313 them, and carry them away captives^H7617: and he shall array^H5844 himself with the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, as a shepherd^H7462 putteth on^H5844 his garment^H0899; and he shall go forth^H3318 from thence in peace^H7965. ¹³He shall break^H7665 also the images^H4676 of Beth-shemesh^H1053, that is in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; and the houses^H1004 of the gods^H0430 of the Egyptians^H4714 shall he burn^H8313 with fire^H0784.

Jeremiah: Chapter 44

¹The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning all the Jews^H3064 which dwell^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, which dwell^H3427 at Migdol^H4024, and at Tahpanhes^H8471, and at Noph^H5297, and in the country^H0776 of Pathros^H6624, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Ye have seen^H7200 all the evil^H7451 that I have brought^H0935 upon Jerusalem^H3389, and upon all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063; and, behold, this day^H3117 they are a desolation^H2723, and no man dwelleth^H3427 therein, ³Because^H6440 of their wickedness^H7451 which they have committed^H6213 to provoke me to anger^H3707, in that they went^H3212 to burn incense^H6999, and to serve^H5647 other^H0312 gods^H0430, whom they knew^H3045 not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers^H0001. ⁴Howbeit I sent^H7971 unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them , saying^H0559, Oh, do^H6213 not this abominable^H8441 thing^H1697 that I hate^H8130. ⁵But they hearkened^H8085 not, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H0241 to turn^H7725 from their wickedness^H7451, to burn no incense^H6999 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430. ⁶Wherefore my fury^H2534 and mine anger^H0639 was poured forth^H5413, and was kindled^H1197 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389; and they are wasted^H2723 and desolate^H8077, as at this day^H3117. ⁷Therefore now thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Wherefore commit^H6213 ye this great^H1419 evil^H7451 against your souls^H5315, to cut off^H3772 from you man^H0376 and woman^H0802, child^H5768 and suckling^H3243, out^H8432 of Judah^H3063, to leave^H3498 you none to remain^H7611; ⁸In that ye provoke me unto wrath^H3707 with the works^H4639 of your hands^H3027, burning incense^H6999 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, whither ye be gone^H0935 to dwell^H1481, that ye might cut yourselves off^H3772, and that ye might be a curse^H7045 and a reproach^H2781 among all the nations^H1471 of the earth^H0776? ⁹Have ye forgotten^H7911 the wickedness^H7451 of your fathers^H0001, and the wickedness^H7451 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and the wickedness^H7451 of their wives^H0802, and your own wickedness^H7451, and the wickedness^H7451 of your wives^H0802, which they have committed^H6213 in the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389? ¹⁰They are not humbled^H1792 even unto this day^H3117, neither have they feared^H3372, nor walked^H1980 in my law^H8451, nor in my statutes^H2708, that I set^H5414 before^H6440 you and before^H6440 your fathers^H0001.

¹¹Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will set^H7760 my face^H6440 against you for evil^H7451, and to cut off^H3772 all Judah^H3063. ¹²And I will take^H3947 the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, that have set^H7760 their faces^H6440 to go^H0935 into the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, and they shall all be consumed^H8552, and fall^H5307 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; they shall even be consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458: they shall die^H4191, from the least^H6996 even unto the greatest^H1419, by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458: and they shall be an execration^H0423, and an astonishment^H8047, and a curse^H7045, and a reproach^H2781. ¹³For I will punish^H6485 them that dwell^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, as I have punished^H6485 Jerusalem^H3389, by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698: ¹⁴So that none of the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, which are gone^H0935 into the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, shall escape^H6412 or remain^H8300, that they should return^H7725 into the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, to the which they have^H5375 a desire^H5315 to return^H7725 to dwell^H3427 there: for none shall return^H7725 but such as shall escape^H6405.

¹⁵Then all the men^H0582 which knew^H3045 that their wives^H0802 had burned incense^H6999 unto other^H0312 gods^H0430, and all the women^H0802 that stood by^H5975, a great^H1419 multitude^H6951, even all the people^H5971 that dwelt^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, in Pathros^H6624, answered^H6030 Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H0559, ¹⁶ As for the word^H1697 that thou hast spoken^H1696 unto us in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, we will not hearken^H8085 unto thee. ¹⁷But we will certainly^H6213 do^H6213 whatsoever thing^H1697 goeth forth^H3318 out of our own mouth^H6310, to burn incense^H6999 unto the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, as we have done^H6213, we, and our fathers^H0001, our kings^H4428, and our princes^H8269, in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389: for then had we plenty^H7646 of victuals^H3899, and were well^H2896, and saw^H7200 no evil^H7451. ¹⁸But since we left off^H2308 to burn incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, we have wanted^H2637 all things , and have been consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458. ¹⁹And when we burned incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and poured out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, did we make^H6213 her cakes^H3561 to worship^H6087 her, and pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, without^H1107 our men^H0582?

²⁰Then Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto all the people^H5971, to the men^H1397, and to the women^H0802, and to all the people^H5971 which had given him that answer^H1697, saying^H0559, ²¹The incense^H7002 that ye burned^H6999 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, ye, and your fathers^H0001, your kings^H4428, and your princes^H8269, and the people^H5971 of the land^H0776, did not the LORD^H3068 remember^H2142 them, and came^H5927 it not into his mind^H3820? ²²So that the LORD^H3068 could^H3201 no longer bear^H5375, because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611, and because^H6440 of the abominations^H8441 which ye have committed^H6213; therefore is your land^H0776 a desolation^H2723, and an astonishment^H8047, and a curse^H7045, without an inhabitant^H3427, as at this day^H3117. ²³Because^H6440 ye have burned incense^H6999, and because ye have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, and have not obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068, nor walked^H1980 in his law^H8451, nor in his statutes^H2708, nor in his testimonies^H5715; therefore this evil^H7451 is happened^H7122 unto you, as at this day^H3117. ²⁴Moreover Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 unto all the people^H5971, and to all the women^H0802, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all Judah^H3063 that are in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714: ²⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, saying^H0559; Ye and your wives^H0802 have both spoken^H1696 with your mouths^H6310, and fulfilled^H4390 with your hand^H3027, saying^H0559, We will surely^H6213 perform^H6213 our vows^H5088 that we have vowed^H5087, to burn incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her: ye will surely^H6965 accomplish^H6965 your vows^H5088, and surely^H6213 perform^H6213 your vows^H5088. ²⁶Therefore hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all Judah^H3063 that dwell^H3427 in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714; Behold, I have sworn^H7650 by my great^H1419 name^H8034, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, that my name^H8034 shall no more be named^H7121 in the mouth^H6310 of any man^H0376 of Judah^H3063 in all the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714, saying^H0559, The Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 liveth^H2416. ²⁷Behold, I will watch^H8245 over them for evil^H7451, and not for good^H2896: and all the men^H0376 of Judah^H3063 that are in the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 shall be consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458, until there be an end^H3615 of them. ²⁸Yet a small^H4962 number^H4557 that escape^H6412 the sword^H2719 shall return out^H7725 of the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 into the land^H0776 of Judah^H3063, and all the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, that are gone^H0935 into the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, shall know^H3045 whose words^H1697 shall stand^H6965, mine, or theirs.

²⁹And this shall be a sign^H0226 unto you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will punish^H6485 you in this place^H4725, that ye may know^H3045 that my words^H1697 shall surely^H6965 stand^H6965 against you for evil^H7451: ³⁰Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will give^H5414 Pharaoh-hophra^H6548 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 into the hand^H3027 of his enemies^H0341, and into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 his life^H5315; as I gave^H5414 Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, his enemy^H0341, and that sought^H1245 his life^H5315.

Jeremiah: Chapter 45

¹The word^H1697 that Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 spake^H1696 unto Baruch^H1263 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374, when he had written^H3789 these words^H1697 in a book^H5612 at the mouth^H6310 of Jeremiah^H3414, in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, saying^H0559, ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, unto thee, O Baruch^H1263; ³Thou didst say^H0559, Woe^H0188 is me now! for the LORD^H3068 hath added^H3254 grief^H3015 to my sorrow^H4341; I fainted^H3021 in my sighing^H0585, and I find^H4672 no rest^H4496.

⁴Thus shalt thou say^H0559 unto him, The LORD^H3068 saith^H0559 thus; Behold, that which I have built^H1129 will I break down^H2040, and that which I have planted^H5193 I will pluck up^H5428, even this whole land^H0776. ⁵And seekest^H1245 thou great things^H1419 for thyself? seek^H1245 them not: for, behold, I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon all flesh^H1320, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: but thy life^H5315 will I give^H5414 unto thee for a prey^H7998 in all places^H4725 whither thou goest^H3212.

Jeremiah: Chapter 46

¹The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 which came to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 against the Gentiles^H1471; ²Against Egypt^H4714, against the army^H2428 of Pharaoh-necho^H6549 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714, which was by the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578 in Carchemish^H3751, which Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 smote^H5221 in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063. ³Order^H6186 ye the buckler^H4043 and shield^H6793, and draw near^H5066 to battle^H4421. ⁴Harness^H0631 the horses^H5483; and get up^H5927, ye horsemen^H6571, and stand forth^H3320 with your helmets^H3553; furbish^H4838 the spears^H7420, and put on^H3847 the brigandines^H5630. ⁵Wherefore have I seen^H7200 them dismayed^H2844 and turned^H5472 away back^H0268? and their mighty ones^H1368 are beaten down^H3807, and are fled^H5127 apace^H4498, and look not back^H6437: for fear^H4032 was round about^H5439, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁶Let not the swift^H7031 flee away^H5127, nor the mighty man^H1368 escape^H4422; they shall stumble^H3782, and fall^H5307 toward the north^H6828 by^H3027 the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578. ⁷Who is this that cometh up^H5927 as a flood^H2975, whose waters^H4325 are moved^H1607 as the rivers^H5104? ⁸ Egypt^H4714 riseth up^H5927 like a flood^H2975, and his waters^H4325 are moved^H1607 like the rivers^H5104; and he saith^H0559, I will go up^H5927, and will cover^H3680 the earth^H0776; I will destroy^H0006 the city^H5892 and the inhabitants^H3427 thereof. ⁹Come up^H5927, ye horses^H5483; and rage^H1984, ye chariots^H7393; and let the mighty men^H1368 come forth^H3318; the Ethiopians^H3568 and the Libyans^H6316, that handle^H8610 the shield^H4043; and the Lydians^H3866, that handle^H8610 and bend^H1869 the bow^H7198. ¹⁰For this is the day^H3117 of the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635, a day^H3117 of vengeance^H5360, that he may avenge^H5358 him of his adversaries^H6862: and the sword^H2719 shall devour^H0398, and it shall be satiate^H7646 and made drunk^H7301 with their blood^H1818: for the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635 hath a sacrifice^H2077 in the north^H6828 country^H0776 by the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578. ¹¹Go up^H5927 into Gilead^H1568, and take^H3947 balm^H6875, O virgin^H1330, the daughter^H1323 of Egypt^H4714: in vain^H7723 shalt thou use many^H7235 medicines^H7499; for thou shalt not be cured^H8585.

¹²The nations^H1471 have heard^H8085 of thy shame^H7036, and thy cry^H6682 hath filled^H4390 the land^H0776: for the mighty man^H1368 hath stumbled^H3782 against the mighty^H1368, and they are fallen^H5307 both^H8147 together^H3162.

¹³The word^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, how Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 should come^H0935 and smite^H5221 the land^H0776 of Egypt^H4714. ¹⁴Declare^H5046 ye in Egypt^H4714, and publish^H8085 in Migdol^H4024, and publish^H8085 in Noph^H5297 and in Tahpanhes^H8471: say^H0559 ye, Stand fast^H3320, and prepare^H3559 thee; for the sword^H2719 shall devour^H0398 round about^H5439 thee. ¹⁵Why are thy valiant^H0047 men swept away^H5502? they stood^H5975 not, because the LORD^H3068 did drive^H1920 them. ¹⁶He made many^H7235 to fall^H3782, yea, one^H0376 fell^H5307 upon another^H7453: and they said^H0559, Arise^H6965, and let us go again^H7725 to our own people^H5971, and to the land^H0776 of our nativity^H4138, from^H6440 the oppressing^H3238 sword^H2719. ¹⁷They did cry^H7121 there, Pharaoh^H6547 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 is but a noise^H7588; he hath passed^H5674 the time appointed^H4150. ¹⁸ As I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the King^H4428, whose name^H8034 is the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, Surely as Tabor^H8396 is among the mountains^H2022, and as Carmel^H3760 by the sea^H3220, so shall he come^H0935. ¹⁹O thou daughter^H1323 dwelling^H3427 in Egypt^H4714, furnish^H6213 thyself to go into captivity^H3627: for Noph^H5297 shall be waste^H8047 and desolate^H3341 without an inhabitant^H3427. ²⁰ Egypt^H4714 is like a very fair^H3304 heifer^H5697, but destruction^H7171 cometh^H0935; it cometh out^H0935 of the north^H6828. ²¹Also her hired men^H7916 are in the midst^H7130 of her like fatted^H4770 bullocks^H5695; for they also are turned back^H6437, and are fled away^H5127 together^H3162: they did not stand^H5975, because the day^H3117 of their calamity^H0343 was come^H0935 upon them, and the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486. ²²The voice^H6963 thereof shall go^H3212 like a serpent^H5175; for they shall march^H3212 with an army^H2428, and come^H0935 against her with axes^H7134, as hewers^H2404 of wood^H6086. ²³They shall cut down^H3772 her forest^H3293, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, though it cannot be searched^H2713; because they are more^H7231 than the grasshoppers^H0697, and are innumerable^H0369. ²⁴The daughter^H1323 of Egypt^H4714 shall be confounded^H3001; she shall be delivered^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the people^H5971 of the north^H6828. ²⁵The LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478, saith^H0559; Behold, I will punish^H6485 the multitude^H0527 of No^H4996, and Pharaoh^H6547, and Egypt^H4714, with their gods^H0430, and their kings^H4428; even Pharaoh^H6547, and all them that trust^H0982 in him: ²⁶And I will deliver^H5414 them into the hand^H3027 of those that seek^H1245 their lives^H5315, and into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and into the hand^H3027 of his servants^H5650: and afterward^H0310 it shall be inhabited^H7931, as in the days^H3117 of old^H6924, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁷But fear^H3372 not thou, O my servant^H5650 Jacob^H3290, and be not dismayed^H2865, O Israel^H3478: for, behold, I will save^H3467 thee from afar off^H7350, and thy seed^H2233 from the land^H0776 of their captivity^H7628; and Jacob^H3290 shall return^H7725, and be in rest^H8252 and at ease^H7599, and none shall make him afraid^H2729. ²⁸Fear^H3372 thou not, O Jacob^H3290 my servant^H5650, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068: for I am with thee; for I will make^H6213 a full end^H3617 of all the nations^H1471 whither I have driven^H5080 thee: but I will not make^H6213 a full end^H3617 of thee, but correct^H3256 thee in measure^H4941; yet will I not leave thee wholly^H5352 unpunished^H5352.

¹The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 against the Philistines^H6430, before that Pharaoh^H6547 smote^H5221 Gaza^H5804. ²Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, waters^H4325 rise up^H5927 out of the north^H6828, and shall be an overflowing^H7857 flood^H5158, and shall overflow^H7857 the land^H0776, and all that is therein^H4393; the city^H5892, and them that dwell^H3427 therein: then the men^H0120 shall cry^H2199, and all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H0776 shall howl^H3213. ³At the noise^H6963 of the stamping^H8161 of the hoofs^H6541 of his strong^H0047 horses , at the rushing^H7494 of his chariots^H7393, and at the rumbling^H1995 of his wheels^H1534, the fathers^H0001 shall not look back^H6437 to their children^H1121 for feebleness^H7510 of hands^H3027; ⁴Because of the day^H3117 that cometh^H0935 to spoil^H7703 all the Philistines^H6430, and to cut off^H3772 from Tyrus^H6865 and Zidon^H6721 every helper^H5826 that remaineth^H8300: for the LORD^H3068 will spoil^H7703 the Philistines^H6430, the remnant^H7611 of the country^H0339 of Caphtor^H3731. ⁵Baldness^H7144 is come^H0935 upon Gaza^H5804; Ashkelon^H0831 is cut off^H1820 with the remnant^H7611 of their valley^H6010: how long wilt thou cut^H1413 thyself? ⁶O^H1945 thou sword^H2719 of the LORD^H3068, how long will it be ere^H3808 thou be quiet^H8252? put up^H0622 thyself into thy scabbard^H8593, rest^H7280, and be still^H1826. ⁷How can it be quiet^H8252, seeing the LORD^H3068 hath given it a charge^H6680 against Ashkelon^H0831, and against the sea^H3220 shore^H2348? there hath he appointed^H3259 it.

Jeremiah: Chapter 48

¹Against Moab^H4124 thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Woe^H1945 unto Nebo^H5015! for it is spoiled^H7703: Kiriathaim^H7156 is confounded^H3001 and taken^H3920: Misgab^H4869 is confounded^H3001 and dismayed^H2865. ² There shall be no more praise^H8416 of Moab^H4124: in Heshbon^H2809 they have devised^H2803 evil^H7451 against it; come^H3212, and let us cut it off^H3772 from being a nation^H1471. Also thou shalt be cut down^H1826, O Madmen^H4086; the sword^H2719 shall pursue^H3212 thee^H0310. ³A voice^H6963 of crying^H6818 shall be from Horonaim^H2773, spoiling^H7701 and great^H1419 destruction^H7667. ⁴ Moab^H4124 is destroyed^H7665; her little ones^H6810 have caused a cry^H2201 to be heard^H8085. ⁵For in the going up^H4608 of Luhith^H3872 continual^H1065 weeping^H1065 shall go up^H5927; for in the going down^H4174 of Horonaim^H2773 the enemies^H6862 have heard^H8085 a cry^H6818 of destruction^H7667. ⁶Flee^H5127, save^H4422 your lives^H5315, and be^H1961 like the heath^H6176 in the wilderness^H4057.

⁷For because thou hast trusted^H0982 in thy works^H4639 and in thy treasures^H0214, thou shalt also be taken^H3920: and Chemosh^H3645 shall go forth^H3318 into captivity^H1473 with his priests^H3548 and his princes^H8269 together^H3162. ⁸And the spoiler^H7703 shall come^H0935 upon every city^H5892, and no city^H5892 shall escape^H4422: the valley^H6010 also shall perish^H0006, and the plain^H4334 shall be destroyed^H8045, as the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H0559. ⁹Give^H5414 wings^H6731 unto Moab^H4124, that it may flee^H5323 and get away^H3318: for the cities^H5892 thereof shall be desolate^H8047, without any to dwell^H3427 therein^H2004. ¹⁰Cursed^H0779 be he that doeth^H6213 the work^H4399 of the LORD^H3068 deceitfully^H7423, and cursed^H0779 be he that keepeth back^H4513 his sword^H2719 from blood^H1818.

¹¹ Moab^H4124 hath been at ease^H7599 from his youth^H5271, and he hath settled^H8252 on his lees^H8105, and hath not been emptied^H7324 from vessel^H3627 to vessel^H3627, neither hath he gone^H1980 into captivity^H1473: therefore his taste^H2940 remained^H5975 in him, and his scent^H7381 is not changed^H4171. ¹²Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will send^H7971 unto him wanderers^H6808, that shall cause him to wander^H6808, and shall empty^H7324 his vessels^H3627, and break^H5310 their bottles^H5035. ¹³And Moab^H4124 shall be ashamed^H0954 of Chemosh^H3645, as the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 was ashamed^H0954 of Beth-el^H1008 their confidence^H4009.

¹⁴How say^H0559 ye, We are mighty^H1368 and strong^H2428 men^H0582 for the war^H4421? ¹⁵ Moab^H4124 is spoiled^H7703, and gone up^H5927 his);"> out of her cities^H5892, and his chosen^H4005 young men^H0970 are gone down^H3381 to the slaughter^H2874, saith^H5002 the King^H4428, whose name^H8034 his);"> is the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635. ¹⁶The calamity^H0343 of Moab^H4124 is near^H7138 to come^H0935, and his affliction^H7451 hasteth^H4116 fast^H3966. ¹⁷All ye that are about^H5439 him, bemoan^H5110 him; and all ye that know^H3045 his name^H8034, say^H0559, How is the strong^H5797 staff^H4294 broken^H7665, and the beautiful^H8597 rod^H4731! ¹⁸Thou daughter^H1323 that dost inhabit^H3427 Dibon^H1769, come down^H3381 from thy glory^H3519, and sit^H3427 in thirst^H6772; for the spoiler^H7703 of Moab^H4124 shall come^H5927 upon thee, and he shall destroy^H7843 thy strong holds^H4013. ¹⁹O inhabitant^H3427 of Aroer^H6177, stand^H5975 by the way^H1870, and espy^H6822; ask^H7592 him that fleeth^H5127, and her that escapeth^H4422, and say^H0559, What is done^H1961? ²⁰ Moab^H4124 is confounded^H3001; for it is broken down^H2865: howl^H3213 and cry^H2199; tell^H5046 ye it in Arnon^H0769, that Moab^H4124 is spoiled^H7703, ²¹And judgment^H4941 is come^H0935 upon the plain^H4334 country^H0776; upon Holon^H2473, and upon Jahazah^H3096, and upon Mephaath^H4158, ²²And upon Dibon^H1769, and upon Nebo^H5015, and upon Beth-diblathaim^H1015, ²³And upon Kiriathaim^H7156, and upon Beth-gamul^H1014, and upon Beth-meon^H1010, ²⁴And upon Kerioth^H7152, and upon Bozrah^H1224, and upon all the cities^H5892 of the land^H0776 of Moab^H4124, far^H7350 or near^H7138. ²⁵The horn^H7161 of Moab^H4124 is cut off^H1438, and his arm^H2220 is broken^H7665, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

²⁶Make ye him drunken^H7937: for he magnified^H1431 himself against the LORD^H3068: Moab^H4124 also shall wallow^H5606 in his vomit^H6892, and he also shall be in derision^H7814. ²⁷For was not Israel^H3478 a derision^H7814 unto thee? was he found^H4672 among thieves^H1590? for since^H1767 thou spakest^H1697 of him, thou skippedst^H5110 for joy. ²⁸O ye that dwell^H3427 in Moab^H4124, leave^H5800 the cities^H5892, and dwell^H7931 in the rock^H5553, and be like the dove^H3123 that maketh her nest^H7077 in the sides^H5676 of the holes^H6354 mouth^H6310. ²⁹We have heard^H8085 the pride^H1347 of Moab^H4124, (he is exceeding^H3966 proud^H1343) his loftiness^H1363, and his arrogancy^H1346, and his pride^H1347, and the haughtiness^H7312 of his heart^H3820. ³⁰I know^H3045 his wrath^H5678, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; but it shall not be so; his lies^H0907 shall not so effect^H6213 it . ³¹Therefore will I howl^H3213 for Moab^H4124, and I will cry out^H2199 for all Moab^H4124; mine heart shall mourn^H1897 for the men^H0582 of Kir-heres^H7025. ³²O vine^H1612 of Sibmah^H7643, I will weep^H1058 for thee with the weeping^H1065 of Jazer^H3270: thy plants^H5189 are gone over^H5674 the sea^H3220, they reach^H5060 even to the sea^H3220 of Jazer^H3270: the spoiler^H7703 is fallen^H5307 upon thy summer fruits^H7019 and upon thy vintage^H1210. ³³And joy^H8057 and gladness^H1524 is taken^H0622 from the plentiful field^H3759, and from the land^H0776 of Moab^H4124; and I have caused wine^H3196 to fail^H7673 from the winepresses^H3342: none shall tread^H1869 with shouting^H1959; their shouting^H1959 shall be no shouting^H1959. ³⁴From the cry^H2201 of Heshbon^H2809 even unto Elealeh^H0500, and even unto Jahaz^H3096, have they uttered^H5414 their voice^H6963, from Zoar^H6820 even unto Horonaim^H2773, as an heifer^H5697 of three years old^H7992: for the waters^H4325 also of Nimrim^H5249 shall be desolate^H4923. ³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease^H7673 in Moab^H4124, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, him that offereth^H5927 in the high places^H1116, and him that burneth incense^H6999 to his gods^H0430. ³⁶Therefore mine heart^H3820 shall sound^H1993 for Moab^H4124 like pipes^H2485, and mine heart^H3820 shall sound^H1993 like pipes^H2485 for the men^H0582 of Kir-heres^H7025: because the riches^H3502 that he hath gotten^H6213 are perished^H0006. ³⁷For every head^H7218 shall be bald^H7144, and every beard^H2206 clipped^H1639: upon all the hands^H3027 shall be cuttings^H1417, and upon the loins^H4975 sackcloth^H8242. ³⁸ There shall be lamentation^H4553 generally upon all the housetops^H1406 of Moab^H4124, and in the streets^H7339 thereof: for I have broken^H7665 Moab^H4124 like a vessel^H3627 wherein is no pleasure^H2656, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³⁹They shall howl^H3213, saying , How is it broken down^H2865! how hath Moab^H4124 turned^H6437 the back^H6203 with shame^H0954! so shall Moab^H4124 be a derision^H7814 and a dismaying^H4288 to all them about^H5439 him. ⁴⁰For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, he shall fly^H1675 as an eagle^H5404, and shall spread^H6566 his wings^H3671 over Moab^H4124. ⁴¹Kerioth^H7152 is taken^H3920, and the strong holds^H4679 are surprised^H8610, and the mighty mens^H1368 hearts^H3820 in Moab^H4124 at that day^H3117 shall be as the heart^H3820 of a woman^H0802 in her pangs^H6887. ⁴²And Moab^H4124 shall be destroyed^H8045 from being a people^H5971, because he hath magnified^H1431 himself against the LORD^H3068. ⁴³Fear^H6343, and the pit^H6354, and the snare^H6341, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant^H3427 of Moab^H4124, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴⁴He that fleeth^H5127 from^H6440 the fear^H6343 shall fall^H5307 into the pit^H6354; and he that getteth up^H5927 out of the pit^H6354 shall be taken^H3920 in the snare^H6341: for I will bring^H0935 upon it, even upon Moab^H4124, the year^H8141 of their visitation^H6486, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴⁵They that fled^H5127 stood^H5975 under the shadow^H6738 of Heshbon^H2809 because of the force^H3581: but a fire^H0784 shall come forth^H3318 out of Heshbon^H2809, and a flame^H3852 from the midst^H0996 of Sihon^H5511, and shall devour^H0398 the corner^H6285 of Moab^H4124, and the crown of the head^H6936 of the tumultuous^H7588 ones^H1121. ⁴⁶Woe^H0188 be unto thee, O Moab^H4124! the people^H5971 of Chemosh^H3645 perisheth^H0006: for thy sons^H1121 are taken^H3947 captives^H7628, and thy daughters^H1323 captives^H7633.

⁴⁷Yet will I bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of Moab^H4124 in the latter^H0319 days^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. Thus far^H2008 is the judgment^H4941 of Moab^H4124.

Jeremiah: Chapter 49

¹Concerning the Ammonites^H1121, thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Hath Israel^H3478 no sons^H1121? hath he no heir^H3423? why then doth their king^H4428 inherit^H3423 Gad^H1410, and his people^H5971 dwell^H3427 in his cities^H5892? ²Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, that I will cause an alarm^H8643 of war^H4421 to be heard^H8085 in Rabbah^H7237 of the Ammonites^H1121; and it shall be a desolate^H8077 heap^H8510, and her daughters^H1323 shall be burned^H3341 with fire^H0784: then shall Israel^H3478 be heir^H3423 unto them that were his heirs^H3423, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³Howl^H3213, O Heshbon^H2809, for Ai^H5857 is spoiled^H7703: cry^H6817, ye daughters^H1323 of Rabbah^H7237, gird^H2296 you with sackcloth^H8242; lament^H5594, and run to and fro^H7751 by the hedges^H1448; for their king^H4428 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H1473, and his priests^H3548 and his princes^H8269 together^H3162. ⁴Wherefore gloriest^H1984 thou in the valleys^H6010, thy flowing^H2100 valley^H6010, O backsliding^H7728 daughter^H1323? that trusted^H0982 in her treasures^H0214, saying , Who shall come^H0935 unto me? ⁵Behold, I will bring^H0935 a fear^H6343 upon thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635, from all those that be about^H5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out^H5080 every man^H0376 right forth^H6440; and none shall gather up^H6908 him that wandereth^H5074. ⁶And afterward^H0310 I will bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

⁷Concerning Edom^H0123, thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Is wisdom^H2451 no more in Teman^H8487? is counsel^H6098 perished^H0006 from the prudent^H0995? is their wisdom^H2451 vanished^H5628? ⁸Flee^H5127 ye, turn back^H6437, dwell^H3427 deep^H6009, O inhabitants^H3427 of Dedan^H1719; for I will bring^H0935 the calamity^H0343 of Esau^H6215 upon him, the time^H6256 that I will visit^H6485 him. ⁹If grapegatherers^H1219 come^H0935 to thee, would they not leave^H7604 some gleaning grapes^H5955? if thieves^H1590 by night^H3915, they will destroy^H7843 till they have enough^H1767. ¹⁰But I have made Esau^H6215 bare^H2834, I have uncovered^H1540 his secret places^H4565, and he shall not be able^H3201 to hide^H2247 himself: his seed^H2233 is spoiled^H7703, and his brethren^H0251, and his neighbours^H7934, and he is not. ¹¹Leave^H5800 thy fatherless children^H3490, I will preserve them alive^H2421; and let thy widows^H0490 trust^H0982 in me. ¹²For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, they whose judgment^H4941 was not to drink^H8354 of the cup^H3563 have assuredly^H8354 drunken^H8354; and art thou he that shall altogether^H5352 go unpunished^H5352? thou shalt not go unpunished^H5352, but thou shalt surely^H8354 drink^H8354 of it . ¹³For I have sworn^H7650 by myself, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that Bozrah^H1224 shall become a desolation^H8047, a reproach^H2781, a waste^H2721, and a curse^H7045; and all the cities^H5892 thereof shall be perpetual^H5769 wastes^H2723. ¹⁴I have heard^H8085 a rumour^H8052 from the LORD^H3068, and an ambassador^H6735 is sent^H7971 unto the heathen^H1471, saying , Gather ye together^H6908, and come^H0935 against her, and rise up^H6965 to the battle^H4421. ¹⁵For, lo, I will make^H5414 thee small^H6996 among the heathen^H1471, and despised^H0959 among men^H0120. ¹⁶Thy terribleness^H8606 hath deceived^H5377 thee, and the pride^H2087 of thine heart^H3820, O thou that dwellest^H7931 in the clefts^H2288 of the rock^H5553, that holdest^H8610 the height^H4791 of the hill^H1389: though thou shouldest make thy nest^H7064 as high^H1361 as the eagle^H5404, I will bring thee down^H3381 from thence, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹⁷Also Edom^H0123 shall be a desolation^H8047: every one that goeth^H5674 by it shall be astonished^H8074, and shall hiss^H8319 at all the plagues^H4347 thereof. ¹⁸As in the overthrow^H4114 of Sodom^H5467 and Gomorrah^H6017 and the neighbour^H7934 cities thereof, saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068, no man^H0376 shall abide^H3427 there, neither shall a son^H1121 of man^H0120 dwell^H1481 in it. ¹⁹Behold, he shall come up^H5927 like a lion^H0738 from the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383 against the habitation^H5116 of the strong^H0386: but I will suddenly^H7280 make him run away^H7323 from her: and who is a chosen^H0977 man, that I may appoint^H6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time^H3259? and who is that shepherd^H7462 that will stand^H5975 before^H6440 me? ²⁰Therefore hear^H8085 the counsel^H6098 of the LORD^H3068, that he hath taken^H3289 against Edom^H0123; and his purposes^H4284, that he hath purposed^H2803 against the inhabitants^H3427 of Teman^H8487: Surely the least^H6810 of the flock^H6629 shall draw them out^H5498: surely he shall make their habitations^H5116 desolate^H8074 with them. ²¹The earth^H0776 is moved^H7493 at the noise^H6963 of their fall^H5307, at the cry^H6818 the noise^H6963 thereof was heard^H8085 in the Red^H5488 sea^H3220. ²²Behold, he shall come up^H5927 and fly^H1675 as the eagle^H5404, and spread^H6566 his wings^H3671 over Bozrah^H1224: and at that day^H3117 shall the heart^H3820 of the mighty men^H1368 of Edom^H0123 be as the heart^H3820 of a woman^H0802 in her pangs^H6887.

²³Concerning Damascus^H1834. Hamath^H2574 is confounded^H0954, and Arpad^H0774: for they have heard^H8085 evil^H7451 tidings^H8052: they are fainthearted^H4127; there is sorrow^H1674 on the sea^H3220; it cannot^H3201 be quiet^H8252. ²⁴ Damascus^H1834 is waxed feeble^H7503, and turneth^H6437 herself to flee^H5127, and fear^H7374 hath seized^H2388 on her: anguish^H6869 and sorrows^H2256 have taken^H0270 her, as a woman in travail^H3205. ²⁵How is the city^H5892 of praise^H8416 not left^H5800, the city^H7151 of my joy^H4885! ²⁶Therefore her young men^H0970 shall fall^H5307 in her streets^H7339, and all the men^H0582 of war^H4421 shall be cut off^H1826 in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635. ²⁷And I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H0784 in the wall^H2346 of Damascus^H1834, and it shall consume^H0398 the palaces^H0759 of Ben-hadad^H1130.

²⁸Concerning Kedar^H6938, and concerning the kingdoms^H4467 of Hazor^H2674, which Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 shall smite^H5221, thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Arise^H6965 ye, go up^H5927 to Kedar^H6938, and spoil^H7703 the men^H1121 of the east^H6924. ²⁹Their tents^H0168 and their flocks^H6629 shall they take away^H3947: they shall take^H5375 to themselves their curtains^H3407, and all their vessels^H3627, and their camels^H1581; and they shall cry^H7121 unto them, Fear^H4032 is on every side^H5439.

³⁰Flee^H5127, get^H5110 you far off^H3966, dwell^H3427 deep^H6009, O ye inhabitants^H3427 of Hazor^H2674, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; for Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 hath taken counsel^H6098 against you, and hath conceived^H2803 a purpose^H4284 against you. ³¹Arise^H6965, get you up^H5927 unto the wealthy^H7961 nation^H1471, that dwelleth^H3427 without care^H0983, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, which have neither gates^H1817 nor bars^H1280, which dwell^H7931 alone^H0910. ³²And their camels^H1581 shall be a booty^H0957, and the multitude^H1995 of their cattle^H4735 a spoil^H7998: and I will scatter^H2219 into all winds^H7307 them that are in the utmost^H7112 corners^H6285; and I will bring^H0935 their calamity^H0343 from all sides^H5676 thereof, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³³And Hazor^H2674 shall be a dwelling^H4583 for dragons^H8577, and a desolation^H8077 for^H5704 ever^H5769: there shall no man^H0376 abide^H3427 there, nor any son^H1121 of man^H0120 dwell^H1481 in it.

³⁴The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 against Elam^H5867 in the beginning^H7225 of the reign^H4438 of Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, saying^H0559, ³⁵Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Behold, I will break^H7665 the bow^H7198 of Elam^H5867, the chief^H7225 of their might^H1369. ³⁶And upon Elam^H5867 will I bring^H0935 the four^H0702 winds^H7307 from the four^H0702 quarters^H7098 of heaven^H8064, and will scatter^H2219 them toward all those winds^H7307; and there shall be no nation^H1471 whither the outcasts^H5080 of Elam^H5867 shall not come^H0935. ³⁷For I will cause Elam^H5867 to be dismayed^H2865 before^H6440 their enemies^H0341, and before^H6440 them that seek^H1245 their life^H5315: and I will bring^H0935 evil^H7451 upon them, even my fierce^H2740 anger^H0639, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and I will send^H7971 the sword^H2719 after^H0310 them, till I have consumed^H3615 them: ³⁸And I will set^H7760 my throne^H3678 in Elam^H5867, and will destroy^H0006 from thence the king^H4428 and the princes^H8269, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

³⁹But it shall come to pass in the latter^H0319 days^H3117, that I will bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of Elam^H5867, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

Jeremiah: Chapter 50

¹The word^H1697 that the LORD^H3068 spake^H1696 against Babylon^H0894 and against the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778 by^H3027 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030. ²Declare^H5046 ye among the nations^H1471, and publish^H8085, and set up^H5375 a standard^H5251; publish^H8085, and conceal^H3582 not: say^H0559, Babylon^H0894 is taken^H3920, Bel^H1078 is confounded^H3001, Merodach^H4781 is broken in pieces^H2865; her idols^H6091 are confounded^H3001, her images^H1544 are broken in pieces^H2865. ³For out of the north^H6828 there cometh up^H5927 a nation^H1471 against her, which shall make^H7896 her land^H0776 desolate^H8047, and none shall dwell^H3427 therein: they shall remove^H5110, they shall depart^H1980, both man^H0120 and beast^H0929.

⁴In those days^H3117, and in that time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 shall come^H0935, they and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 together^H3162, going^H1980 and weeping^H1058: they shall go^H3212, and seek^H1245 the LORD^H3068 their God^H0430. ⁵They shall ask^H7592 the way^H1870 to Zion^H6726 with their faces^H6440 thitherward^H2008, saying , Come^H0935, and let us join^H3867 ourselves to the LORD^H3068 in a perpetual^H5769 covenant^H1285 that shall not be forgotten^H7911. ⁶My people^H5971 hath been lost^H0006 sheep^H6629: their shepherds^H7462 have caused them to go astray^H8582, they have turned them away^H7725 on the mountains^H2022: they have gone^H1980 from mountain^H2022 to hill^H1389, they have forgotten^H7911 their restingplace^H7258. ⁷All that found^H4672 them have devoured^H0398 them: and their adversaries^H6862 said^H0559, We offend^H0816 not, because they have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, the habitation^H5116 of justice^H6664, even the LORD^H3068, the hope^H4723 of their fathers^H0001. ⁸Remove^H5110 out of the midst^H8432 of Babylon^H0894, and go forth^H3318 out of the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and be as the he goats^H6260 before^H6440 the flocks^H6629.

⁹For, lo, I will raise^H5782 and cause to come up^H5927 against Babylon^H0894 an assembly^H6951 of great^H1419 nations^H1471 from the north^H6828 country^H0776: and they shall set themselves in array^H6186 against her; from thence she shall be taken^H3920: their arrows^H2671 shall be as of a mighty^H1368 expert man^H7919; none shall return^H7725 in vain^H7387. ¹⁰And Chaldea^H3778 shall be a spoil^H7998: all that spoil^H7997 her shall be satisfied^H7646, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ¹¹Because ye were glad^H8055, because ye rejoiced^H5937, O ye destroyers^H8154 of mine heritage^H5159, because ye are grown fat^H6335 as the heifer^H5697 at grass^H1877, and bellow^H6670 as bulls^H0047; ¹²Your mother^H0517 shall be sore^H3966 confounded^H0954; she that bare^H3205 you shall be ashamed^H2659: behold, the hindermost^H0319 of the nations^H1471 shall be a wilderness^H4057, a dry land^H6723, and a desert^H6160. ¹³Because of the wrath^H7110 of the LORD^H3068 it shall not be inhabited^H3427, but it shall be wholly desolate^H8077: every one that goeth^H5674 by Babylon^H0894 shall be astonished^H8074, and hiss^H8319 at all her plagues^H4347. ¹⁴Put yourselves in array^H6186 against Babylon^H0894 round about^H5439: all ye that bend^H1869 the bow^H7198, shoot^H3034 at her, spare^H2550 no arrows^H2671: for she hath sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068. ¹⁵Shout^H7321 against her round about^H5439: she hath given^H5414 her hand^H3027: her foundations^H0803 are fallen^H5307, her walls^H2346 are thrown down^H2040: for it is the vengeance^H5360 of the LORD^H3068: take vengeance^H5358 upon her; as she hath done^H6213, do^H6213 unto her. ¹⁶Cut off^H3772 the sower^H2232 from Babylon^H0894, and him that handleth^H8610 the sickle^H4038 in the time^H6256 of harvest^H7105: for fear^H6440 of the oppressing^H3238 sword^H2719 they shall turn^H6437 every one^H0376 to his people^H5971, and they shall flee^H5127 every one^H0376 to his own land^H0776.

¹⁷ Israel^H3478 is a scattered^H6340 sheep^H7716; the lions^H0738 have driven him away^H5080: first^H7223 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H0804 hath devoured^H0398 him; and last^H0314 this Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 hath broken his bones^H6105. ¹⁸Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will punish^H6485 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 and his land^H0776, as I have punished^H6485 the king^H4428 of Assyria^H0804. ¹⁹And I will bring^H7725 Israel^H3478 again^H7725 to his habitation^H5116, and he shall feed^H7462 on Carmel^H3760 and Bashan^H1316, and his soul^H5315 shall be satisfied^H7646 upon mount^H2022 Ephraim^H0669 and Gilead^H1568. ²⁰In those days^H3117, and in that time^H6256, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, the iniquity^H5771 of Israel^H3478 shall be sought for^H1245, and there shall be none; and the sins^H2403 of Judah^H3063, and they shall not be found^H4672: for I will pardon^H5545 them whom I reserve^H7604.

²¹Go up^H5927 against the land^H0776 of Merathaim^H4850, even against it, and against the inhabitants^H3427 of Pekod^H6489: waste^H2717 and utterly destroy^H2763 after^H0310 them, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and do^H6213 according to all that I have commanded^H6680 thee. ²²A sound^H6963 of battle^H4421 is in the land^H0776, and of great^H1419 destruction^H7667. ²³How is the hammer^H6360 of the whole earth^H0776 cut asunder^H1438 and broken^H7665! how is Babylon^H0894 become a desolation^H8047 among the nations^H1471! ²⁴I have laid a snare^H3369 for thee, and thou art also taken^H3920, O Babylon^H0894, and thou wast not aware^H3045: thou art found^H4672, and also caught^H8610, because thou hast striven^H1624 against the LORD^H3068. ²⁵The LORD^H3068 hath opened^H6605 his armoury^H0214, and hath brought forth^H3318 the weapons^H3627 of his indignation^H2195: for this is the work^H4399 of the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635 in the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778. ²⁶Come^H0935 against her from the utmost border^H7093, open^H6605 her storehouses^H3965: cast her up^H5549 as heaps^H6194, and destroy her utterly^H2763: let nothing of her be left^H7611. ²⁷Slay^H2717 all her bullocks^H6499; let them go down^H3381 to the slaughter^H2874: woe^H1945 unto them! for their day^H3117 is come^H0935, the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486. ²⁸The voice^H6963 of them that flee^H5127 and escape out^H6405 of the land^H0776 of Babylon^H0894, to declare^H5046 in Zion^H6726 the vengeance^H5360 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430, the vengeance^H5360 of his temple^H1964. ²⁹Call together^H8085 the archers^H7228 against Babylon^H0894: all ye that bend^H1869 the bow^H7198, camp^H2583 against it round about^H5439; let none thereof escape^H6413: recompense^H7999 her according to her work^H6467; according to all that she hath done^H6213, do^H6213 unto her: for she hath been proud^H2102 against the LORD^H3068, against the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478. ³⁰Therefore shall her young men^H0970 fall^H5307 in the streets^H7339, and all her men^H0582 of war^H4421 shall be cut off^H1826 in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ³¹Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud^H2087, saith^H5002 the Lord^H0136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635: for thy day^H3117 is come^H0935, the time^H6256 that I will visit^H6485 thee. ³²And the most proud^H2087 shall stumble^H3782 and fall^H5307, and none shall raise him up^H6965: and I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H0784 in his cities^H5892, and it shall devour^H0398 all round about^H5439 him.

³³Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; The children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 and the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 were oppressed^H6231 together^H3162: and all that took them captives^H7617 held them fast^H2388; they refused^H3985 to let them go^H7971. ³⁴Their Redeemer^H1350 is strong^H2389; the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034: he shall throughly^H7378 plead^H7378 their cause^H7379, that he may give rest^H7280 to the land^H0776, and disquiet^H7264 the inhabitants^H3427 of Babylon^H0894.

³⁵A sword^H2719 is upon the Chaldeans^H3778, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, and upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Babylon^H0894, and upon her princes^H8269, and upon her wise^H2450 men . ³⁶A sword^H2719 is upon the liars^H0907; and they shall dote^H2973: a sword^H2719 is upon her mighty men^H1368; and they shall be dismayed^H2865. ³⁷A sword^H2719 is upon their horses^H5483, and upon their chariots^H7393, and upon all the mingled people^H6153 that are in the midst^H8432 of her; and they shall become as women^H0802: a sword^H2719 is upon her treasures^H0214; and they shall be robbed^H0962. ³⁸A drought^H2721 is upon her waters^H4325; and they shall be dried up^H3001: for it is the land^H0776 of graven images^H6456, and they are mad^H1984 upon their idols^H0367. ³⁹Therefore the wild beasts of the desert^H6728 with the wild beasts of the islands^H0338 shall dwell^H3427 there , and the owls^H1323 shall dwell^H3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabited^H3427 for ever^H5331; neither shall it be dwelt^H7931 in from generation^H1755 to generation^H1755. ⁴⁰As God^H0430 overthrew^H4114 Sodom^H5467 and Gomorrah^H6017 and the neighbour^H7934 cities thereof, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; so shall no man^H0376 abide^H3427 there, neither shall any son^H1121 of man^H0120 dwell^H1481 therein. ⁴¹Behold, a people^H5971 shall come^H0935 from the north^H6828, and a great^H1419 nation^H1471, and many^H7227 kings^H4428 shall be raised up^H5782 from the coasts^H3411 of the earth^H0776. ⁴²They shall hold^H2388 the bow^H7198 and the lance^H3591: they are cruel^H0394, and will not shew mercy^H7355: their voice^H6963 shall roar^H1993 like the sea^H3220, and they shall ride^H7392 upon horses^H5483, every one put in array^H6186, like a man^H0376 to the battle^H4421, against thee, O daughter^H1323 of Babylon^H0894. ⁴³The king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 hath heard^H8085 the report^H8088 of them, and his hands^H3027 waxed feeble^H7503: anguish^H6869 took hold^H2388 of him, and pangs^H2427 as of a woman in travail^H3205. ⁴⁴Behold, he shall come up^H5927 like a lion^H0738 from the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383 unto the habitation^H5116 of the strong^H0386: but I will make^H7323 them suddenly^H7280 run away^H7323 from her: and who is a chosen^H0977 man, that I may appoint^H6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time^H3259? and who is that shepherd^H7462 that will stand^H5975 before^H6440 me? ⁴⁵Therefore hear^H8085 ye the counsel^H6098 of the LORD^H3068, that he hath taken^H3289 against Babylon^H0894; and his purposes^H4284, that he hath purposed^H2803 against the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778: Surely the least^H6810 of the flock^H6629 shall draw them out^H5498: surely he shall make their habitation^H5116 desolate^H8074 with them. ⁴⁶At the noise^H6963 of the taking^H8610 of Babylon^H0894 the earth^H0776 is moved^H7493, and the cry^H2201 is heard^H8085 among the nations^H1471.

Jeremiah: Chapter 51

¹Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will raise up^H5782 against Babylon^H0894, and against them that dwell^H3427 in the midst^H3820 of them that rise up^H6965 against me, a destroying^H7843 wind^H7307; ²And will send^H7971 unto Babylon^H0894 fanners^H2114, that shall fan^H2219 her, and shall empty^H1238 her land^H0776: for in the day^H3117 of trouble^H7451 they shall be against her round about^H5439. ³Against him that bendeth^H1869 let the archer^H1869 bend^H1869 his bow^H7198, and against him that lifteth himself up^H5927 in his brigandine^H5630: and spare^H2550 ye not her young men^H0970; destroy ye utterly^H2763 all her host^H6635. ⁴Thus the slain^H2491 shall fall^H5307 in the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778, and they that are thrust through^H1856 in her streets^H2351. ⁵For Israel^H3478 hath not been forsaken^H0488, nor Judah^H3063 of his God^H0430, of the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; though their land^H0776 was filled^H4390 with sin^H0817 against the Holy One^H6918 of Israel^H3478. ⁶Flee out^H5127 of the midst^H8432 of Babylon^H0894, and deliver^H4422 every man^H0376 his soul^H5315: be not cut off^H1826 in her iniquity^H5771; for this is the time^H6256 of the LORDs^H3068 vengeance^H5360; he will render^H7999 unto her a recompence^H1576. ⁷ Babylon^H0894 hath been a golden^H2091 cup^H3563 in the LORDs^H3068 hand^H3027, that made all the earth^H0776 drunken^H7937: the nations^H1471 have drunken^H8354 of her wine^H3196; therefore the nations^H1471 are mad^H1984. ⁸ Babylon^H0894 is suddenly^H6597 fallen^H5307 and destroyed^H7665: howl^H3213 for her; take^H3947 balm^H6875 for her pain^H4341, if so be she may be healed^H7495. ⁹We would have healed^H7495 Babylon^H0894, but she is not healed^H7495: forsake^H5800 her, and let us go^H3212 every one^H0376 into his own country^H0776: for her judgment^H4941 reacheth^H5060 unto heaven^H8064, and is lifted up^H5375 even to the skies^H7834. ¹⁰The LORD^H3068 hath brought forth^H3318 our righteousness^H6666: come^H0935, and let us declare^H5608 in Zion^H6726 the work^H4639 of the LORD^H3068 our God^H0430. ¹¹Make bright^H1305 the arrows^H2671; gather^H4390 the shields^H7982: the LORD^H3068 hath raised up^H5782 the spirit^H7307 of the kings^H4428 of the Medes^H4074: for his device^H4209 is against Babylon^H0894, to destroy^H7843 it; because it is the vengeance^H5360 of the LORD^H3068, the vengeance^H5360 of his temple^H1964. ¹²Set up^H5375 the standard^H5251 upon the walls^H2346 of Babylon^H0894, make the watch^H4929 strong^H2388, set up^H6965 the watchmen^H8104, prepare^H3559 the ambushes^H0693: for the LORD^H3068 hath both devised^H2161 and done^H6213 that which he spake^H1696 against the inhabitants^H3427 of Babylon^H0894. ¹³O thou that dwellest^H7931 upon many^H7227 waters^H4325, abundant^H7227 in treasures^H0214, thine end^H7093 is come^H0935, and the measure^H0520 of thy covetousness^H1215. ¹⁴The LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 hath sworn^H7650 by himself^H5315, saying , Surely I will fill^H4390 thee with men^H0120, as with caterpillers^H3218; and they shall lift up^H6030 a shout^H1959 against thee. ¹⁵He hath made^H6213 the earth^H0776 by his power^H3581, he hath established^H3559 the world^H8398 by his wisdom^H2451, and hath stretched out^H5186 the heaven^H8064 by his understanding^H8394. ¹⁶When he uttereth^H5414 his voice^H6963, there is a multitude^H1995 of waters^H4325 in the heavens^H8064; and he causeth the vapours^H5387 to ascend^H5927 from the ends^H7097 of the earth^H0776: he maketh^H6213 lightnings^H1300 with rain^H4306, and bringeth forth^H3318 the wind^H7307 out of his treasures^H0214. ¹⁷Every man^H0120 is brutish^H1197 by his knowledge^H1847; every founder^H6884 is confounded^H3001 by the graven image^H6459: for his molten image^H5262 is falsehood^H8267, and there is no breath^H7307 in them. ¹⁸They are vanity^H1892, the work^H4639 of errors^H8595: in the time^H6256 of their visitation^H6486 they shall perish^H0006. ¹⁹The portion^H2506 of Jacob^H3290 is not like them; for he is the former^H3335 of all things: and Israel is the rod^H7626 of his inheritance^H5159: the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 is his name^H8034. ²⁰Thou art my battle axe^H4661 and weapons^H3627 of war^H4421: for with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 the nations^H1471, and with thee will I destroy^H7843 kingdoms^H4467; ²¹And with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 the horse^H5483 and his rider^H7392; and with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 the chariot^H7393 and his rider^H7392; ²²With thee also will I break in pieces^H5310 man^H0376 and woman^H0802; and with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 old^H2205 and young^H5288; and with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 the young man^H0970 and the maid^H1330; ²³I will also break in pieces^H5310 with thee the shepherd^H7462 and his flock^H5739; and with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 the husbandman^H0406 and his yoke of oxen^H6776; and with thee will I break in pieces^H5310 captains^H6346 and rulers^H5461. ²⁴And I will render^H7999 unto Babylon^H0894 and to all the inhabitants^H3427 of Chaldea^H3778 all their evil^H7451 that they have done^H6213 in Zion^H6726 in your sight^H5869, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²⁵Behold, I am against thee, O destroying^H4889 mountain^H2022, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, which destroyest^H7843 all the earth^H0776: and I will stretch out^H5186 mine hand^H3027 upon thee, and roll thee down^H1556 from the rocks^H5553, and will make^H5414 thee a burnt^H8316 mountain^H2022. ²⁶And they shall not take^H3947 of thee a stone^H0068 for a corner^H6438, nor a stone^H0068 for foundations^H4146; but thou shalt be desolate^H8077 for ever^H5769, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ²⁷Set ye up^H5375 a standard^H5251 in the land^H0776, blow^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 among the nations^H1471, prepare^H6942 the nations^H1471 against her, call together^H8085 against her the kingdoms^H4467 of Ararat^H0780, Minni^H4508, and Ashchenaz^H0813; appoint^H6485 a captain^H2951 against her; cause the horses^H5483 to come up^H5927 as the rough^H5569 caterpillers^H3218. ²⁸Prepare^H6942 against her the nations^H1471 with the kings^H4428 of the Medes^H4074, the captains^H6346 thereof, and all the rulers^H5461 thereof, and all the land^H0776 of his dominion^H4475. ²⁹And the land^H0776 shall tremble^H7493 and sorrow^H2342: for every purpose^H4284 of the LORD^H3068 shall be performed^H6965 against Babylon^H0894, to make^H7760 the land^H0776 of Babylon^H0894 a desolation^H8047 without an inhabitant^H3427. ³⁰The mighty men^H1368 of Babylon^H0894 have forborn^H2308 to fight^H3898, they have remained^H3427 in their holds^H4679: their might^H1369 hath failed^H5405; they became as women^H0802: they have burned^H3341 her dwellingplaces^H4908; her bars^H1280 are broken^H7665. ³¹One post^H7323 shall run^H7323 to meet^H7125 another^H7323, and one messenger^H5046 to meet^H7125 another^H5046, to shew^H5046 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 that his city^H5892 is taken^H3920 at one end^H7097, ³²And that the passages^H4569 are stopped^H8610, and the reeds^H0098 they have burned^H8313 with fire^H0784, and the men^H0582 of war^H4421 are affrighted^H0926. ³³For thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H0430 of Israel^H3478; The daughter^H1323 of Babylon^H0894 is like a threshingfloor^H1637, it is time^H6256 to thresh^H1869 her: yet a little while^H4592, and the time^H6256 of her harvest^H7105 shall come^H0935. ³⁴Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 hath devoured^H0398 me, he hath crushed^H2000 me, he hath made^H3322 me an empty^H7385 vessel^H3627, he hath swallowed me up^H1104 like a dragon^H8577, he hath filled^H4390 his belly^H3770 with my delicates^H5730, he hath cast me out^H1740. ³⁵The violence^H2555 done to me and to my flesh^H7607 be upon Babylon^H0894, shall the inhabitant^H3427 of Zion^H6726 say^H0559; and my blood^H1818 upon the inhabitants^H3427 of Chaldea^H3778, shall Jerusalem^H3389 say^H0559. ³⁶Therefore thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will plead^H7378 thy cause^H7379, and take vengeance^H5358 for thee^H5360; and I will dry up^H2717 her sea^H3220, and make her springs^H4726 dry^H3001. ³⁷And Babylon^H0894 shall become heaps^H1530, a dwellingplace^H4583 for dragons^H8577, an astonishment^H8047, and an hissing^H8322, without an inhabitant^H3427. ³⁸They shall roar^H7580 together^H3162 like lions^H3715: they shall yell^H5286 as lions^H0738 whelps^H1484. ³⁹In their heat^H2527 I will make^H7896 their feasts^H4960, and I will make them drunken^H7937, that they may rejoice^H5937, and sleep^H3462 a perpetual^H5769 sleep^H8142, and not wake^H6974, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴⁰I will bring them down^H3381 like lambs^H3733 to the slaughter^H2873, like rams^H0352 with he goats^H6260. ⁴¹How is Sheshach^H8347 taken^H3920! and how is the praise^H8416 of the whole earth^H0776 surprised^H8610! how is Babylon^H0894 become an astonishment^H8047 among the nations^H1471! ⁴²The sea^H3220 is come up^H5927 upon Babylon^H0894: she is covered^H3680 with the multitude^H1995 of the waves^H1530 thereof. ⁴³Her cities^H5892 are a desolation^H8047, a dry^H6723 land^H0776, and a wilderness^H6160, a land^H0776 wherein no man^H0376 dwelleth^H3427, neither doth any son^H1121 of man^H0120 pass^H5674 thereby^H2004. ⁴⁴And I will punish^H6485 Bel^H1078 in Babylon^H0894, and I will bring forth^H3318 out of his mouth^H6310 that which he hath swallowed up^H1105: and the nations^H1471 shall not flow together^H5102 any more unto him: yea, the wall^H2346 of Babylon^H0894 shall fall^H5307. ⁴⁵My people^H5971, go ye out^H3318 of the midst^H8432 of her, and deliver^H4422 ye every man^H0376 his soul^H5315 from the fierce^H2740 anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068. ⁴⁶And lest your heart^H3824 faint^H7401, and ye fear^H3372 for the rumour^H8052 that shall be heard^H8085 in the land^H0776; a rumour^H8052 shall both come^H0935 one year^H8141, and after^H0310 that in another year^H8141 shall come a rumour^H8052, and violence^H2555 in the land^H0776, ruler^H4910 against ruler^H4910. ⁴⁷Therefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, that I will do judgment^H6485 upon the graven images^H6456 of Babylon^H0894: and her whole land^H0776 shall be confounded^H0954, and all her slain^H2491 shall fall^H5307 in the midst^H8432 of her. ⁴⁸Then the heaven^H8064 and the earth^H0776, and all that is therein, shall sing^H7442 for Babylon^H0894: for the spoilers^H7703 shall come^H0935 unto her from the north^H6828, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁴⁹As^H1571 Babylon^H0894 hath caused the slain^H2491 of Israel^H3478 to fall^H5307, so at Babylon^H0894 shall fall^H5307 the slain^H2491 of all the earth^H0776. ⁵⁰Ye that have escaped^H6405 the sword^H2719, go away^H1980, stand not still^H5975: remember^H2142 the LORD^H3068 afar off^H7350, and let Jerusalem^H3389 come^H5927 into your mind^H3824. ⁵¹We are confounded^H0954, because we have heard^H8085 reproach^H2781: shame^H3639 hath covered^H3680 our faces^H6440: for strangers^H2114 are come^H0935 into the sanctuaries^H4720 of the LORDs^H3068 house^H1004. ⁵²Wherefore, behold, the days^H3117 come^H0935, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will do judgment^H6485 upon her graven images^H6456: and through all her land^H0776 the wounded^H2491 shall groan^H0602. ⁵³Though Babylon^H0894 should mount up^H5927 to heaven^H8064, and though she should fortify^H1219 the height^H4791 of her strength^H5797, yet^H0227 from me shall spoilers^H7703 come^H0935 unto her, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068. ⁵⁴A sound^H6963 of a cry^H2201 cometh from Babylon^H0894, and great^H1419 destruction^H7667 from the land^H0776 of the Chaldeans^H3778: ⁵⁵Because the LORD^H3068 hath spoiled^H7703 Babylon^H0894, and destroyed^H0006 out of her the great^H1419 voice^H6963; when her waves^H1530 do roar^H1993 like great^H7227 waters^H4325, a noise^H7588 of their voice^H6963 is uttered^H5414: ⁵⁶Because the spoiler^H7703 is come^H0935 upon her, even upon Babylon^H0894, and her mighty men^H1368 are taken^H3920, every one of their bows^H7198 is broken^H2865: for the LORD^H3068 God^H0410 of recompences^H1578 shall surely^H7999 requite^H7999. ⁵⁷And I will make drunk^H7937 her princes^H8269, and her wise^H2450 men , her captains^H6346, and her rulers^H5461, and her mighty men^H1368: and they shall sleep^H3462 a perpetual^H5769 sleep^H8142, and not wake^H6974, saith^H5002 the King^H4428, whose name^H8034 is the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635. ⁵⁸Thus saith^H0559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; The broad^H7342 walls^H2346 of Babylon^H0894 shall be utterly^H6209 broken^H6209, and her high^H1364 gates^H8179 shall be burned^H3341 with fire^H0784; and the people^H5971 shall labour^H3021 in vain^H7385, and the folk^H3816 in^H1767 the fire^H0784, and they shall be weary^H3286.

⁵⁹The word^H1697 which Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 commanded^H6680 Seraiah^H8304 the son^H1121 of Neriah^H5374, the son^H1121 of Maaseiah^H4271, when he went^H3212 with Zedekiah^H6667 the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 into Babylon^H0894 in the fourth^H7243 year^H8141 of his reign^H4427. And this Seraiah^H8304 was a quiet^H4496 prince^H8269. ⁶⁰So Jeremiah^H3414 wrote^H3789 in a^H0259 book^H5612 all the evil^H7451 that should come^H0935 upon Babylon^H0894, even all these words^H1697 that are written^H3789 against Babylon^H0894. ⁶¹And Jeremiah^H3414 said^H0559 to Seraiah^H8304, When thou comest^H0935 to Babylon^H0894, and shalt see^H7200, and shalt read^H7121 all these words^H1697; ⁶²Then shalt thou say^H0559, O LORD^H3068, thou hast spoken^H1696 against this place^H4725, to cut it off^H3772, that none shall remain^H3427 in it, neither man^H0120 nor beast^H0929, but that it shall be desolate^H8077 for ever^H5769. ⁶³And it shall be, when thou hast made an end^H3615 of reading^H7121 this book^H5612, that thou shalt bind^H7194 a stone^H0068 to it, and cast^H7993 it into the midst^H8432 of Euphrates^H6578: ⁶⁴And thou shalt say^H0559, Thus shall Babylon^H0894 sink^H8257, and shall not rise^H6965 from^H6440 the evil^H7451 that I will bring^H0935 upon her: and they shall be weary^H3286. Thus far are the words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414.

Jeremiah: Chapter 52

¹ Zedekiah^H6667 was one^H0259 and twenty^H6242 years^H8141 old^H1121 when he began to reign^H4427, and he reigned^H4427 eleven^H0259 years^H8141 in Jerusalem^H3389. And his mothers^H0517 name^H8034 was Hamutal^H2537 the daughter^H1323 of Jeremiah^H3414 of Libnah^H3841. ²And he did^H6213 that which was evil^H7451 in the eyes^H5869 of the LORD^H3068, according to all that Jehoiakim^H3079 had done^H6213. ³For through^H5921 the anger^H0639 of the LORD^H3068 it came to pass in Jerusalem^H3389 and Judah^H3063, till he had cast them out^H7993 from his presence^H6440, that Zedekiah^H6667 rebelled^H4775 against the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth^H8671 year^H8141 of his reign^H4427, in the tenth^H6224 month^H2320, in the tenth^H6218 day of the month^H2320, that Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 came^H0935, he and all his army^H2428, against Jerusalem^H3389, and pitched^H2583 against it, and built^H1129 forts^H1785 against it round about^H5439. ⁵ So^H0935 the city^H5892 was besieged^H4692 unto the eleventh^H6249 year^H8141 of king^H4428 Zedekiah^H6667. ⁶And in the fourth^H7243 month^H2320, in the ninth^H8672 day of the month^H2320, the famine^H7458 was sore^H2388 in the city^H5892, so that there was no bread^H3899 for the people^H5971 of the land^H0776. ⁷Then the city^H5892 was broken up^H1234, and all the men^H0582 of war^H4421 fled^H1272, and went forth^H3318 out of the city^H5892 by night^H3915 by the way^H1870 of the gate^H8179 between the two walls^H2346, which was by the kings^H4428 garden^H1588; (now the Chaldeans^H3778 were by the city^H5892 round about^H5439:) and they went^H3212 by the way^H1870 of the plain^H6160.

⁸But the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778 pursued^H7291 after^H0310 the king^H4428, and overtook^H5381 Zedekiah^H6667 in the plains^H6160 of Jericho^H3405; and all his army^H2428 was scattered^H6327 from him. ⁹Then they took^H8610 the king^H4428, and carried him up^H5927 unto the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 to Riblah^H7247 in the land^H0776 of Hamath^H2574; where he gave^H1696 judgment^H4941 upon him. ¹⁰And the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 slew^H7819 the sons^H1121 of Zedekiah^H6667 before his eyes^H5869: he slew^H7819 also all the princes^H8269 of Judah^H3063 in Riblah^H7247. ¹¹Then he put out^H5786 the eyes^H5869 of Zedekiah^H6667; and the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 bound^H0631 him in chains^H5178, and carried^H0935 him to Babylon^H0894, and put^H5414 him in prison^H1004 till the day^H3117 of his death^H4194.

¹²Now in the fifth^H2549 month^H2320, in the tenth^H6218 day of the month^H2320, which was the nineteenth^H8672 year^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, came^H0935 Nebuzar-adan^H5018, captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876, which served^H5975 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, into Jerusalem^H3389, ¹³And burned^H8313 the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and the kings^H4428 house^H1004; and all the houses^H1004 of Jerusalem^H3389, and all the houses^H1004 of the great^H1419 men , burned^H8313 he with fire^H0784: ¹⁴And all the army^H2428 of the Chaldeans^H3778, that were with the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876, brake down^H5422 all the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 round about^H5439. ¹⁵Then Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 carried away captive^H1540 certain of the poor^H1803 of the people^H5971, and the residue^H3499 of the people^H5971 that remained^H7604 in the city^H5892, and those that fell away^H5307, that fell^H5307 to the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, and the rest^H3499 of the multitude^H0527. ¹⁶But Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 left^H7604 certain of the poor^H1803 of the land^H0776 for vinedressers^H3755 and for husbandmen^H3009. ¹⁷Also the pillars^H5982 of brass^H5178 that were in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, and the bases^H4350, and the brasen^H5178 sea^H3220 that was in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, the Chaldeans^H3778 brake^H7665, and carried^H5375 all the brass^H5178 of them to Babylon^H0894. ¹⁸The caldrons^H5518 also, and the shovels^H3257, and the snuffers^H4212, and the bowls^H4219, and the spoons^H3709, and all the vessels^H3627 of brass^H5178 wherewith they ministered^H8334, took they away^H3947. ¹⁹And the basons^H5592, and the firepans^H4289, and the bowls^H4219, and the caldrons^H5518, and the candlesticks^H4501, and the spoons^H3709, and the cups^H4518; that which was of gold^H2091 in gold^H2091, and that which was of silver^H3701 in silver^H3701, took^H3947 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 away^H3947. ²⁰The two^H8147 pillars^H5982, one^H0259 sea^H3220, and twelve^H8147 brasen^H5178 bulls^H1241 that were under the bases^H4350, which king^H4428 Solomon^H8010 had made^H6213 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068: the brass^H5178 of all these vessels^H3627 was without weight^H4948. ²¹And concerning the pillars^H5982, the height^H6967 of one^H0259 pillar^H5982 was eighteen^H8083 cubits^H0520; and a fillet^H2339 of twelve^H8147 cubits^H0520 did compass^H5437 it; and the thickness^H5672 thereof was four^H0702 fingers^H0676: it was hollow^H5014. ²²And a chapiter^H3805 of brass^H5178 was upon it; and the height^H6967 of one^H0259 chapiter^H3805 was five^H2568 cubits^H0520, with network^H7639 and pomegranates^H7416 upon the chapiters^H3805 round about^H5439, all of brass^H5178. The second^H8145 pillar^H5982 also and the pomegranates^H7416 were like unto these. ²³And there were ninety^H8673 and six^H8337 pomegranates^H7416 on a side^H7307; and all the pomegranates^H7416 upon the network^H7639 were an hundred^H3967 round about^H5439.

²⁴And the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 took^H3947 Seraiah^H8304 the chief^H7218 priest^H3548, and Zephaniah^H6846 the second^H4932 priest^H3548, and the three^H7969 keepers^H8104 of the door^H5592: ²⁵He took^H3947 also out of the city^H5892 an^H0259 eunuch^H5631, which had the charge^H6496 of the men^H0582 of war^H4421; and seven^H7651 men^H0582 of them that were near^H7200 the kings^H4428 person^H6440, which were found^H4672 in the city^H5892; and the principal^H8269 scribe^H5608 of the host^H6635, who mustered^H6633 the people^H5971 of the land^H0776; and threescore^H8346 men^H0376 of the people^H5971 of the land^H0776, that were found^H4672 in the midst^H8432 of the city^H5892. ²⁶So Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 took^H3947 them, and brought^H3212 them to the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 to Riblah^H7247. ²⁷And the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 smote^H5221 them, and put them to death^H4191 in Riblah^H7247 in the land^H0127 of Hamath^H2574. Thus Judah^H3063 was carried away captive^H1540 out of his own land^H0776. ²⁸This is the people^H5971 whom Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 carried away captive^H1540: in the seventh^H7651 year^H8141 three^H7969 thousand^H0505 Jews^H3064 and three^H7969 and twenty^H6242: ²⁹In the eighteenth^H8083 year^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 he carried away captive^H1540 from Jerusalem^H3389 eight^H8083 hundred^H3967 thirty^H7970 and two^H8147 persons^H5315: ³⁰In the three^H7969 and twentieth^H6242 year^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 Nebuzar-adan^H5018 the captain^H7227 of the guard^H2876 carried away captive^H1540 of the Jews^H3064 seven^H7651 hundred^H3967 forty^H0705 and five^H2568 persons^H5315: all the persons^H5315 were four^H0702 thousand^H0505 and six^H8337 hundred^H3967.

³¹And it came to pass in the seven^H7651 and thirtieth^H7970 year^H8141 of the captivity^H1546 of Jehoiachin^H3078 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the twelfth^H8147 month^H2320, in the five^H2568 and twentieth^H6242 day of the month^H2320, that Evil-merodach^H0192 king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894 in the first year^H8141 of his reign^H4438 lifted up^H5375 the head^H7218 of Jehoiachin^H3078 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and brought him forth^H3318 out of prison^H1004, ³²And spake^H1696 kindly^H2896 unto him, and set^H5414 his throne^H3678 above^H4605 the throne^H3678 of the kings^H4428 that were with him in Babylon^H0894, ³³And changed^H8138 his prison^H3608 garments^H0899: and he did continually^H8548 eat^H0398 bread^H3899 before^H6440 him all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416. ³⁴And for his diet^H0737, there was a continual^H8548 diet^H0737 given^H5414 him of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H0894, every^H3117 day^H3117 a portion^H1697 until the day^H3117 of his death^H4194, all the days^H3117 of his life^H2416.
