Jeremiah 26:1--29:32

26:1
In the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04468>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came this word
<01697>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
26:2
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Stand
<05975> (8798)
in the court
<02691>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which come
<0935> (8802)
to worship
<07812> (8692)
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
all the words
<01697>
that I command
<06680> (8765)
thee to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto them; diminish
<01639> (8799)
not a word
<01697>_:
26:3
If so be they will hearken
<08085> (8799)_,
and turn
<07725> (8799)
every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
that I may repent
<05162> (8738)
me of the evil
<07451>_,
which I purpose
<02803> (8802)
to do
<06213> (8800)
unto them because
<06440>
of the evil
<07455>
of their doings
<04611>_.
26:4
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
If ye will not hearken
<08085> (8799)
to me, to walk
<03212> (8800)
in my law
<08451>_,
which I have set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
you,
26:5
To hearken
<08085> (8800)
to the words
<01697>
of my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
whom I sent
<07971> (8802)
unto you, both rising up early
<07925> (8687)_,
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them], but ye have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)_;
26:6
Then will I make
<05414> (8804)
this house
<01004>
like Shiloh
<07887>_,
and will make
<05414> (8799)
this city
<05892>
a curse
<07045>
to all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>_.
26:7
So the priests
<03548>
and the prophets
<05030>
and all the people
<05971>
heard
<08085> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
speaking
<01696> (8764)
these words
<01697>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
26:8
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah
<03414>
had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)
all that the LORD
<03068>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
[him] to speak
<01696> (8763)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
that the priests
<03548>
and the prophets
<05030>
and all the people
<05971>
took
<08610> (8799)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_.
26:9
Why hast thou prophesied
<05012> (8738)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This house
<01004>
shall be like Shiloh
<07887>_,
and this city
<05892>
shall be desolate
<02717> (8799)
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_?
And all the people
<05971>
were gathered
<06950> (8735)
against Jeremiah
<03414>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
26:10
When the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>
heard
<08085> (8799)
these things
<01697>_,
then they came up
<05927> (8799)
from the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>
unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and sat down
<03427> (8799)
in the entry
<06607>
of the new
<02319>
gate
<08179>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
[house]. {in the...: or, at the door}
26:11
Then spake
<0559> (8799)
the priests
<03548>
and the prophets
<05030>
unto the princes
<08269>
and to all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This man
<0376>
[is] worthy
<04941>
to die
<04194>_;
for he hath prophesied
<05012> (8738)
against this city
<05892>_,
as ye have heard
<08085> (8804)
with your ears
<0241>_.
{This man...: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}
26:12
Then spake
<0559> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto all the princes
<08269>
and to all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me to prophesy
<05012> (8736)
against this house
<01004>
and against this city
<05892>
all the words
<01697>
that ye have heard
<08085> (8804)_.
26:13
Therefore now amend
<03190> (8685)
your ways
<01870>
and your doings
<04611>_,
and obey
<08085> (8798)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
will repent
<05162> (8735)
him of the evil
<07451>
that he hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against you.
26:14
As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand
<03027>_:
do
<06213> (8798)
with me as seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
and meet
<03477>
unto you. {as...: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes}
26:15
But know
<03045> (8799)
ye for certain
<03045> (8800)_,
that if ye put me to death
<04191> (8688)_,
ye shall surely bring
<05414> (8802)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
upon yourselves, and upon this city
<05892>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof: for of a truth
<0571>
the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto you to speak
<01696> (8763)
all these words
<01697>
in your ears
<0241>_.
26:16
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the princes
<08269>
and all the people
<05971>
unto the priests
<03548>
and to the prophets
<05030>_;
This man
<0376>
[is] not worthy
<04941>
to die
<04194>_:
for he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
to us in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
26:17
Then rose up
<06965> (8799)
certain
<0582>
of the elders
<02205>
of the land
<0776>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
to all the assembly
<06951>
of the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
26:18
Micah
<04320>
the Morasthite
<04183>
prophesied
<05012> (8737)
in the days
<03117>
of Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
to all the people
<05971>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Zion
<06726>
shall be plowed
<02790> (8735)
[like] a field
<07704>_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
shall become heaps
<05856>_,
and the mountain
<02022>
of the house
<01004>
as the high places
<01116>
of a forest
<03293>_.
26:19
Did Hezekiah
<02396>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and all Judah
<03063>
put him at all
<04191> (8687)
to death
<04191> (8689)_?
did he not fear
<03373>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and besought
<02470> (8762)
the LORD
<03068> <06440>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
repented
<05162> (8735)
him of the evil
<07451>
which he had pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against them? Thus
<0587>
might we procure
<06213> (8802)
great
<01419>
evil
<07451>
against our souls
<05315>_.
{the LORD, and the: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}
26:20
And there was also a man
<0376>
that prophesied
<05012> (8693)
in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Urijah
<0223>
the son
<01121>
of Shemaiah
<08098>
of Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,
who prophesied
<05012> (8735)
against this city
<05892>
and against this land
<0776>
according to all the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_:
26:21
And when Jehoiakim
<03079>
the king
<04428>_,
with all his mighty men
<01368>_,
and all the princes
<08269>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
his words
<01697>_,
the king
<04428>
sought
<01245> (8762)
to put him to death
<04191> (8687)_:
but when Urijah
<0223>
heard
<08085> (8799)
it, he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
and fled
<01272> (8799)_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_;
26:22
And Jehoiakim
<03079>
the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
men
<0582>
into Egypt
<04714>_,
[namely], Elnathan
<0494>
the son
<01121>
of Achbor
<05907>_,
and [certain] men
<0582>
with him into Egypt
<04714>_.
26:23
And they fetched forth
<03318> (8686)
Urijah
<0223>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him unto Jehoiakim
<03079>
the king
<04428>_;
who slew
<05221> (8686)
him with the sword
<02719>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
his dead body
<05038>
into the graves
<06913>
of the common
<01121>
people
<05971>_.
{common...: Heb. sons of the people}
26:24
Nevertheless the hand
<03027>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
was with Jeremiah
<03414>_,
that they should not give
<05414> (8800)
him into the hand
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
to put him to death
<04191> (8687)_.
27:1
In the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04467>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came this word
<01697>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
27:2
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
to me; Make
<06213> (8798)
thee bonds
<04147>
and yokes
<04133>_,
and put
<05414> (8804)
them upon thy neck
<06677>_,
{saith...: or, hath the LORD said}
27:3
And send
<07971> (8765)
them to the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of Tyrus
<06865>_,
and to the king
<04428>
of Zidon
<06721>_,
by the hand
<03027>
of the messengers
<04397>
which come
<0935> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
unto Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_;
27:4
And command
<06680> (8765)
them to say
<0559> (8800)
unto their masters
<0113>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto your masters
<0113>_;
{to say...: or, concerning their masters, saying}
27:5
I have made
<06213> (8804)
the earth
<0776>_,
the man
<0120>
and the beast
<0929>
that [are] upon
<06440>
the ground
<0776>_,
by my great
<01419>
power
<03581>
and by my outstretched
<05186> (8803)
arm
<02220>_,
and have given
<05414> (8804)
it unto whom it seemed
<05869>
meet
<03474> (8804)
unto me.
27:6
And now have I given
<05414> (8804)
all these lands
<0776>
into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
my servant
<05650>_;
and the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
have I given
<05414> (8804)
him also to serve
<05647> (8800)
him.
27:7
And all nations
<01471>
shall serve
<05647> (8804)
him, and his son
<01121>_,
and his son's
<01121>
son
<01121>_,
until the very time
<06256>
of his land
<0776>
come
<0935> (8800)_:
and then many
<07227>
nations
<01471>
and great
<01419>
kings
<04428>
shall serve
<05647> (8804)
themselves of him.
27:8
And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation
<01471>
and kingdom
<04467>
which will not serve
<05647> (8799)
the same Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and that will not put
<05414> (8799)
their neck
<06677>
under the yoke
<05923>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
that nation
<01471>
will I punish
<06485> (8799)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
with the sword
<02719>_,
and with the famine
<07458>_,
and with the pestilence
<01698>_,
until I have consumed
<08552> (8800)
them by his hand
<03027>_.
27:9
Therefore hearken
<08085> (8799)
not ye to your prophets
<05030>_,
nor to your diviners
<07080> (8802)_,
nor to your dreamers
<02472>_,
nor to your enchanters
<06049> (8781)_,
nor to your sorcerers
<03786>_,
which speak
<0559> (8802)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall not serve
<05647> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
{dreamers: Heb. dreams}
27:10
For they prophesy
<05012> (8737)
a lie
<08267>
unto you, to remove you far
<07368> (8687)
from your land
<0127>_;
and that I should drive you out
<05080> (8689)_,
and ye should perish
<06> (8804)_.
27:11
But the nations
<01471>
that bring
<0935> (8686)
their neck
<06677>
under the yoke
<05923>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
him, those will I let remain still
<03240> (8689)
in their own land
<0127>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and they shall till
<05647> (8804)
it, and dwell
<03427> (8804)
therein.
27:12
I spake
<01696> (8765)
also to Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
according to all these words
<01697>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring
<0935> (8685)
your necks
<06677>
under the yoke
<05923>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
him and his people
<05971>_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_.
27:13
Why will ye die
<04191> (8799)_,
thou and thy people
<05971>_,
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
against the nation
<01471>
that will not serve
<05647> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_?
27:14
Therefore hearken
<08085> (8799)
not unto the words
<01697>
of the prophets
<05030>
that speak
<0559> (8802)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall not serve
<05647> (8799)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
for they prophesy
<05012> (8737)
a lie
<08267>
unto you.
27:15
For I have not sent
<07971> (8804)
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
yet they prophesy
<05012> (8737)
a lie
<08267>
in my name
<08034>_;
that I might drive you out
<05080> (8687)_,
and that ye might perish
<06> (8804)_,
ye, and the prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
unto you. {a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly}
27:16
Also I spake
<01696> (8765)
to the priests
<03548>
and to all this people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not to the words
<01697>
of your prophets
<05030>
that prophesy
<05012> (8737)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the vessels
<03627>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
shall now shortly
<04120>
be brought again
<07725> (8716)
from Babylon
<0894>_:
for they prophesy
<05012> (8737)
a lie
<08267>
unto you.
27:17
Hearken
<08085> (8799)
not unto them; serve
<05647> (8798)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and live
<02421> (8798)_:
wherefore should this city
<05892>
be laid waste
<02723>_?
27:18
But if they [be] prophets
<05030>_,
and if the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
be
<03426>
with them, let them now make intercession
<06293> (8799)
to the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
that the vessels
<03627>
which are left
<03498> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and [in] the house
<01004>
of the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
go
<0935> (8804)
not to Babylon
<0894>_.
27:19
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
concerning the pillars
<05982>_,
and concerning the sea
<03220>_,
and concerning the bases
<04350>_,
and concerning the residue
<03499>
of the vessels
<03627>
that remain
<03498> (8737)
in this city
<05892>_,
27:20
Which Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
took
<03947> (8804)
not, when he carried away captive
<01540> (8687)
Jeconiah
<03204>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
from Jerusalem
<03389>
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and all the nobles
<02715>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_;
27:21
Yea, thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
concerning the vessels
<03627>
that remain
<03498> (8737)
[in] the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and [in] the house
<01004>
of the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
27:22
They shall be carried
<0935> (8714)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and there shall they be until the day
<03117>
that I visit
<06485> (8800)
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
then will I bring
<05927> (8689)
them up, and restore
<07725> (8689)
them to this place
<04725>_.
28:1
And it came to pass the same year
<08141>_,
in the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04467>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>_,
[and] in the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>_,
[that] Hananiah
<02608>
the son
<01121>
of Azur
<05809>
the prophet
<05030>_,
which [was] of Gibeon
<01391>_,
spake
<0559> (8804)
unto me in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in the presence
<05869>
of the priests
<03548>
and of all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
28:2
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I have broken
<07665> (8804)
the yoke
<05923>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
28:3
Within two full
<03117>
years
<08141>
will I bring again
<07725> (8688)
into this place
<04725>
all the vessels
<03627>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
took away
<03947> (8804)
from this place
<04725>_,
and carried
<0935> (8686)
them to Babylon
<0894>_:
{two...: Heb. two years of days}
28:4
And I will bring again
<07725> (8688)
to this place
<04725>
Jeconiah
<03204>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
with all the captives
<01546>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that went
<0935> (8802)
into Babylon
<0894>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I will break
<07665> (8799)
the yoke
<05923>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
{captives: Heb. captivity}
28:5
Then the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the prophet
<05030>
Hananiah
<02608>
in the presence
<05869>
of the priests
<03548>_,
and in the presence
<05869>
of all the people
<05971>
that stood
<05975> (8802)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
28:6
Even the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Amen
<0543>_:
the LORD
<03068>
do
<06213> (8799)
so: the LORD
<03068>
perform
<06965> (8686)
thy words
<01697>
which thou hast prophesied
<05012> (8738)_,
to bring again
<07725> (8687)
the vessels
<03627>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
and all that is carried away captive
<01473>_,
from Babylon
<0894>
into this place
<04725>_.
28:7
Nevertheless hear
<08085> (8798)
thou now this word
<01697>
that I speak
<01696> (8802)
in thine ears
<0241>_,
and in the ears
<0241>
of all the people
<05971>_;
28:8
The prophets
<05030>
that have been before
<06440>
me and before
<06440>
thee of old
<05769>
prophesied
<05012> (8735)
both against many
<07227>
countries
<0776>_,
and against great
<01419>
kingdoms
<04467>_,
of war
<04421>_,
and of evil
<07451>_,
and of pestilence
<01698>_.
28:9
The prophet
<05030>
which prophesieth
<05012> (8735)
of peace
<07965>_,
when the word
<01697>
of the prophet
<05030>
shall come to pass
<0935> (8800)_,
[then]
<0227>
shall the prophet
<05030>
be known
<03045> (8735)_,
that the LORD
<03068>
hath truly
<0571>
sent
<07971> (8804)
him.
28:10
Then Hananiah
<02608>
the prophet
<05030>
took
<03947> (8799)
the yoke
<04133>
from off the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah's
<03414>
neck
<06677>_,
and brake
<07665> (8799)
it.
28:11
And Hananiah
<02608>
spake
<0559> (8799)
in the presence
<05869>
of all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Even so will I break
<07665> (8799)
the yoke
<05923>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
from the neck
<06677>
of all nations
<01471>
within the space of two full
<03117>
years
<08141>_.
And the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>
went
<03212> (8799)
his way
<01870>_.
28:12
Then the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
[the prophet], after
<0310>
that Hananiah
<02608>
the prophet
<05030>
had broken
<07665> (8800)
the yoke
<04133>
from off the neck
<06677>
of the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
28:13
Go
<01980> (8800)
and tell
<0559> (8804)
Hananiah
<02608>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Thou hast broken
<07665> (8804)
the yokes
<04133>
of wood
<06086>_;
but thou shalt make
<06213> (8804)
for them yokes
<04133>
of iron
<01270>_.
28:14
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I have put
<05414> (8804)
a yoke
<05923>
of iron
<01270>
upon the neck
<06677>
of all these nations
<01471>_,
that they may serve
<05647> (8800)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_;
and they shall serve
<05647> (8804)
him: and I have given
<05414> (8804)
him the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
also.
28:15
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto Hananiah
<02608>
the prophet
<05030>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
now, Hananiah
<02608>_;
The LORD
<03068>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
thee; but thou makest this people
<05971>
to trust
<0982> (8689)
in a lie
<08267>_.
28:16
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will cast
<07971> (8764)
thee from off the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_:
this year
<08141>
thou shalt die
<04191> (8801)_,
because thou hast taught
<01696> (8765)
rebellion
<05627>
against the LORD
<03068>_.
{rebellion: Heb. revolt}
28:17
So Hananiah
<02608>
the prophet
<05030>
died
<04191> (8799)
the same year
<08141>
in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_.
29:1
Now these [are] the words
<01697>
of the letter
<05612>
that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
sent
<07971> (8804)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
unto the residue
<03499>
of the elders
<02205>
which were carried away captives
<01473>_,
and to the priests
<03548>_,
and to the prophets
<05030>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
had carried away captive
<01540> (8689)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
to Babylon
<0894>_;
29:2
(After
<0310>
that Jeconiah
<03204>
the king
<04428>_,
and the queen
<01377>_,
and the eunuchs
<05631>_,
the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the carpenters
<02796>_,
and the smiths
<04525>_,
were departed
<03318> (8800)
from Jerusalem
<03389>;)
{eunuchs: or, chamberlains}
29:3
By the hand
<03027>
of Elasah
<0501>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Hilkiah
<02518>_,
(whom Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
sent
<07971> (8804)
unto Babylon
<0894>
to Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>)
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
29:4
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto all that are carried away captives
<01473>_,
whom I have caused to be carried away
<01540> (8689)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
unto Babylon
<0894>_;
29:5
Build
<01129> (8798)
ye houses
<01004>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
[in them]; and plant
<05193> (8798)
gardens
<01593>_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)
the fruit
<06529>
of them;
29:6
Take
<03947> (8798)
ye wives
<0802>_,
and beget
<03205> (8685)
sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>_;
and take
<03947> (8798)
wives
<0802>
for your sons
<01121>_,
and give
<05414> (8798)
your daughters
<01323>
to husbands
<0582>_,
that they may bear
<03205> (8799)
sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01121>_;
that ye may be increased
<07235> (8798)
there, and not diminished
<04591> (8799)_.
29:7
And seek
<01875> (8798)
the peace
<07965>
of the city
<05892>
whither I have caused you to be carried away captives
<01540> (8689)_,
and pray
<06419> (8690)
unto the LORD
<03068>
for it: for in the peace
<07965>
thereof shall ye have peace
<07965>_.
29:8
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Let not your prophets
<05030>
and your diviners
<07080> (8802)_,
that [be] in the midst
<07130>
of you, deceive
<05377> (8686)
you, neither hearken
<08085> (8799)
to your dreams
<02472>
which ye cause to be dreamed
<02492> (8688)_.
29:9
For they prophesy
<05012> (8737)
falsely
<08267>
unto you in my name
<08034>_:
I have not sent
<07971> (8804)
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{falsely: Heb. in a lie}
29:10
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
That after
<06310>
seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>
be accomplished
<04390> (8800)
at Babylon
<0894>
I will visit
<06485> (8799)
you, and perform
<06965> (8689)
my good
<02896>
word
<01697>
toward you, in causing you to return
<07725> (8687)
to this place
<04725>_.
29:11
For I know
<03045> (8804)
the thoughts
<04284>
that I think
<02803> (8802)
toward you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
thoughts
<04284>
of peace
<07965>_,
and not of evil
<07451>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
you an expected
<08615>
end
<0319>_.
{expected...: Heb. end and expectation}
29:12
Then shall ye call
<07121> (8804)
upon me, and ye shall go
<01980> (8804)
and pray
<06419> (8694)
unto me, and I will hearken
<08085> (8804)
unto you.
29:13
And ye shall seek
<01245> (8765)
me, and find
<04672> (8804)
[me], when ye shall search
<01875> (8799)
for me with all your heart
<03824>_.
29:14
And I will be found
<04672> (8738)
of you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
and I will turn away
<07725> (8804)
your captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>_,
and I will gather
<06908> (8765)
you from all the nations
<01471>_,
and from all the places
<04725>
whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)
you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will bring you again
<07725> (8689)
into the place
<04725>
whence I caused you to be carried away captive
<01540> (8689)_.
29:15
Because ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath raised us up
<06965> (8689)
prophets
<05030>
in Babylon
<0894>_;
29:16
[Know] that thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of the king
<04428>
that sitteth
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>_,
and of all the people
<05971>
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
in this city
<05892>_,
[and] of your brethren
<0251>
that are not gone forth
<03318> (8804)
with you into captivity
<01473>_;
29:17
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Behold, I will send
<07971> (8764)
upon them the sword
<02719>_,
the famine
<07458>_,
and the pestilence
<01698>_,
and will make
<05414> (8804)
them like vile
<08182>
figs
<08384>_,
that cannot be eaten
<0398> (8735)_,
they are so evil
<07455>_.
29:18
And I will persecute
<07291> (8804)
them
<0310>
with the sword
<02719>_,
with the famine
<07458>_,
and with the pestilence
<01698>_,
and will deliver
<05414> (8804)
them to be removed
<02189> (8675) <02113>
to all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_,
to be a curse
<0423>_,
and an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
and a reproach
<02781>_,
among all the nations
<01471>
whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)
them: {to be a curse: Heb. for a curse}
29:19
Because they have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
to my words
<01697>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which I sent
<07971> (8804)
unto them by my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
rising up early
<07925> (8687)
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them]; but ye would not hear
<08085> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
29:20
Hear
<08085> (8798)
ye therefore the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
all ye of the captivity
<01473>_,
whom I have sent
<07971> (8765)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
to Babylon
<0894>_:
29:21
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
of Ahab
<0256>
the son
<01121>
of Kolaiah
<06964>_,
and of Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04641>_,
which prophesy
<05012> (8737)
a lie
<08267>
unto you in my name
<08034>_;
Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_;
and he shall slay
<05221> (8689)
them before your eyes
<05869>_;
29:22
And of them shall be taken up
<03947> (8795)
a curse
<07045>
by all the captivity
<01546>
of Judah
<03063>
which [are] in Babylon
<0894>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
make
<07760> (8799)
thee like Zedekiah
<06667>
and like Ahab
<0256>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
roasted
<07033> (8804)
in the fire
<0784>_;
29:23
Because they have committed
<06213> (8804)
villany
<05039>
in Israel
<03478>_,
and have committed
<06213> (8804)
adultery
<05003> (8762)
with their neighbours
<07453>_'
wives
<0802>_,
and have spoken
<01696> (8762)
lying
<08267>
words
<01697>
in my name
<08034>_,
which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)
them; even I know
<03045> (8802)_,
and [am] a witness
<05707>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
29:24
[Thus] shalt thou also speak
<0559> (8799)
to Shemaiah
<08098>
the Nehelamite
<05161>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Nehelamite: or, dreamer}
29:25
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Because thou hast sent
<07971> (8804)
letters
<05612>
in thy name
<08034>
unto all the people
<05971>
that [are] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to Zephaniah
<06846>
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04641>
the priest
<03548>_,
and to all the priests
<03548>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
29:26
The LORD
<03068>
hath made
<05414> (8804)
thee priest
<03548>
in the stead of Jehoiada
<03077>
the priest
<03548>_,
that ye should be officers
<06496>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
for every man
<0376>
[that is] mad
<07696> (8794)_,
and maketh himself a prophet
<05012> (8693)_,
that thou shouldest put
<05414> (8804)
him in prison
<04115>_,
and in the stocks
<06729>_.
29:27
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved
<01605> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
of Anathoth
<06069>_,
which maketh himself a prophet
<05012> (8693)
to you?
29:28
For therefore he sent
<07971> (8804)
unto us [in] Babylon
<0894>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
This
<01931>
[captivity is] long
<0752>_:
build
<01129> (8798)
ye houses
<01004>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
[in them]; and plant
<05193> (8798)
gardens
<01593>_,
and eat
<0398> (8798)
the fruit
<06529>
of them.
29:29
And Zephaniah
<06846>
the priest
<03548>
read
<07121> (8799)
this letter
<05612>
in the ears
<0241>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_.
29:30
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
29:31
Send
<07971> (8798)
to all them of the captivity
<01473>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
concerning Shemaiah
<08098>
the Nehelamite
<05161>_;
Because that Shemaiah
<08098>
hath prophesied
<05012> (8738)
unto you, and I sent
<07971> (8804)
him not, and he caused you to trust
<0982> (8686)
in a lie
<08267>_:
29:32
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
Shemaiah
<08098>
the Nehelamite
<05161>_,
and his seed
<02233>_:
he shall not have a man
<0376>
to dwell
<03427> (8802)
among
<08432>
this people
<05971>_;
neither shall he behold
<07200> (8799)
the good
<02896>
that I will do
<06213> (8802)
for my people
<05971>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
because he hath taught
<01696> (8765)
rebellion
<05627>
against the LORD
<03068>_.
{rebellion: Heb. revolt}
