Jeremiah 26:1--52:34

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)_,
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>_:
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>_.
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,
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)_;
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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)_.
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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)_,
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>_.
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}
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>_:
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>_;
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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)_,
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}
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>_;
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}
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.
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.
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.
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>_.
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}
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)_.
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.
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)_.
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>_?
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.
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}
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.
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>_?
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>_.
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>_,
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>_;
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>_;
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>_.
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)_,
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_,
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>_.
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>_;
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>_.
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.
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.
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>_.
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)_,
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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}
So Hananiah
<02608>
the prophet
<05030>
died
<04191> (8799)
the same year
<08141>
in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_.
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>_;
(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}
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)_,
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>_;
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;
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)_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
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)_.
Because ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath raised us up
<06965> (8689)
prophets
<05030>
in Babylon
<0894>_;
[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>_;
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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>_:
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>_;
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>_;
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>_.
[Thus] shalt thou also speak
<0559> (8799)
to Shemaiah
<08098>
the Nehelamite
<05161>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Nehelamite: or, dreamer}
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)_,
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>_.
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved
<01605> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
of Anathoth
<06069>_,
which maketh himself a prophet
<05012> (8693)
to you?
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.
And Zephaniah
<06846>
the priest
<03548>
read
<07121> (8799)
this letter
<05612>
in the ears
<0241>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
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>_:
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}
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus speaketh
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Write
<03789> (8798)
thee all the words
<01697>
that I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thee in a book
<05612>_.
For, lo, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will bring again
<07725> (8804)
the captivity
<07622>
of my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_:
and I will cause them to return
<07725> (8689)
to the land
<0776>
that I gave
<05414> (8804)
to their fathers
<01>_,
and they shall possess
<03423> (8804)
it.
And these [are] the words
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
concerning Israel
<03478>
and concerning Judah
<03063>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
a voice
<06963>
of trembling
<02731>_,
of fear
<06343>_,
and not of peace
<07965>_.
{of fear...: or, there is fear, and not peace}
Ask
<07592> (8798)
ye now, and see
<07200> (8798)
whether a man
<02145>
doth travail with child
<03205> (8802)_?
wherefore do I see
<07200> (8804)
every man
<01397>
with his hands
<03027>
on his loins
<02504>_,
as a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_,
and all faces
<06440>
are turned
<02015> (8738)
into paleness
<03420>_?
{a man: Heb. a male}
Alas
<01945>_!
for that day
<03117>
[is] great
<01419>_,
so that
<0369>
none [is] like it: it [is] even the time
<06256>
of Jacob's
<03290>
trouble
<06869>_;
but he shall be saved
<03467> (8735)
out of it.
For it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
[that] I will break
<07665> (8799)
his yoke
<05923>
from off thy neck
<06677>_,
and will burst
<05423> (8762)
thy bonds
<04147>_,
and strangers
<02114> (8801)
shall no more serve
<05647> (8799)
themselves of him:
But they shall serve
<05647> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
and David
<01732>
their king
<04428>_,
whom I will raise up
<06965> (8686)
unto them.
Therefore fear
<03372> (8799)
thou not, O my servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
neither be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,
O Israel
<03478>_:
for, lo, I will save
<03467> (8688)
thee from afar
<07350>_,
and thy seed
<02233>
from the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and shall be in rest
<08252> (8804)_,
and be quiet
<07599> (8768)_,
and none shall make [him] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
For I [am] with thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
to save
<03467> (8687)
thee: though I make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of all nations
<01471>
whither I have scattered
<06327> (8689)
thee, yet will I not make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of thee: but I will correct
<03256> (8765)
thee in measure
<04941>_,
and will not leave thee altogether
<05352> (8763)
unpunished
<05352> (8762)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Thy bruise
<07667>
[is] incurable
<0605> (8803)_,
[and] thy wound
<04347>
[is] grievous
<02470> (8737)_.
[There is] none to plead
<01777> (8802)
thy cause
<01779>_,
that thou mayest be bound up
<04205>_:
thou hast no healing
<08585>
medicines
<07499>_.
{that...: Heb. for binding up, or, pressing}
All thy lovers
<0157> (8764)
have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
thee; they seek
<01875> (8799)
thee not; for I have wounded
<05221> (8689)
thee with the wound
<04347>
of an enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
with the chastisement
<04148>
of a cruel one
<0394>_,
for the multitude
<07230>
of thine iniquity
<05771>_;
[because] thy sins
<02403>
were increased
<06105> (8804)_.
Why criest
<02199> (8799)
thou for thine affliction
<07667>_?
thy sorrow
<04341>
[is] incurable
<0605> (8803)
for the multitude
<07230>
of thine iniquity
<05771>_:
[because] thy sins
<02403>
were increased
<06105> (8804)_,
I have done
<06213> (8804)
these things unto thee.
Therefore all they that devour
<0398> (8802)
thee shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)_;
and all thine adversaries
<06862>_,
every one of them, shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<07628>_;
and they that spoil
<07601> (8802) (8675) <08154> (8802)
thee shall be a spoil
<04933>_,
and all that prey
<0962> (8802)
upon thee will I give
<05414> (8799)
for a prey
<0957>_.
For I will restore
<05927> (8686)
health
<0724>
unto thee, and I will heal
<07495> (8799)
thee of thy wounds
<04347>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
because they called
<07121> (8804)
thee an Outcast
<05080> (8737)_,
[saying], This [is] Zion
<06726>_,
whom no man seeketh after
<01875> (8802)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will bring again
<07725> (8802)
the captivity
<07622>
of Jacob's
<03290>
tents
<0168>_,
and have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on his dwellingplaces
<04908>_;
and the city
<05892>
shall be builded
<01129> (8738)
upon her own heap
<08510>_,
and the palace
<0759>
shall remain
<03427> (8799)
after the manner
<04941>
thereof. {heap: or, little hill}
And out of them shall proceed
<03318> (8804)
thanksgiving
<08426>
and the voice
<06963>
of them that make merry
<07832> (8764)_:
and I will multiply
<07235> (8689)
them, and they shall not be few
<04591> (8799)_;
I will also glorify
<03513> (8689)
them, and they shall not be small
<06819> (8799)_.
Their children
<01121>
also shall be as aforetime
<06924>_,
and their congregation
<05712>
shall be established
<03559> (8735)
before
<06440>
me, and I will punish
<06485> (8804)
all that oppress
<03905> (8801)
them.
And their nobles
<0117>
shall be of themselves, and their governor
<04910> (8802)
shall proceed
<03318> (8799)
from the midst
<07130>
of them; and I will cause him to draw near
<07126> (8689)_,
and he shall approach
<05066> (8738)
unto me: for who [is] this that engaged
<06148> (8804)
his heart
<03820>
to approach
<05066> (8800)
unto me? saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And ye shall be my people
<05971>_,
and I will be your God
<0430>_.
Behold, the whirlwind
<05591>
of the LORD
<03068>
goeth forth
<03318> (8804)
with fury
<02534>_,
a continuing
<01641> (8706)
whirlwind
<05591>_:
it shall fall with pain
<02342> (8799)
upon the head
<07218>
of the wicked
<07563>_.
{continuing: Heb. cutting} {fall...: or, remain}
The fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall not return
<07725> (8799)_,
until he have done
<06213> (8800)
[it], and until he have performed
<06965> (8687)
the intents
<04209>
of his heart
<03820>_:
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>
ye shall consider
<0995> (8709)
it.
At the same time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
will I be the God
<0430>
of all the families
<04940>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and they shall be my people
<05971>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
The people
<05971>
[which were] left
<08300>
of the sword
<02719>
found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in the wilderness
<04057>_;
[even] Israel
<03478>_,
when I went
<01980> (8800)
to cause him to rest
<07280> (8687)_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath appeared
<07200> (8738)
of old
<07350>
unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved
<0157> (8804)
thee with an everlasting
<05769>
love
<0160>_:
therefore with lovingkindness
<02617>
have I drawn
<04900> (8804)
thee. {of...: Heb. from afar} {with lovingkindness...: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee}
Again I will build
<01129> (8799)
thee, and thou shalt be built
<01129> (8738)_,
O virgin
<01330>
of Israel
<03478>_:
thou shalt again be adorned
<05710> (8799)
with thy tabrets
<08596>_,
and shalt go forth
<03318> (8804)
in the dances
<04234>
of them that make merry
<07832> (8764)_.
{tabrets: or, timbrels}
Thou shalt yet plant
<05193> (8799)
vines
<03754>
upon the mountains
<02022>
of Samaria
<08111>_:
the planters
<05193> (8802)
shall plant
<05193> (8804)_,
and shall eat [them] as common things
<02490> (8765)_.
{eat...: Heb. profane them}
For there shall be
<03426>
a day
<03117>_,
[that] the watchmen
<05341> (8802)
upon the mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
shall cry
<07121> (8804)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)
ye, and let us go up
<05927> (8799)
to Zion
<06726>
unto the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Sing
<07442> (8798)
with gladness
<08057>
for Jacob
<03290>_,
and shout
<06670> (8761)
among the chief
<07218>
of the nations
<01471>_:
publish
<08085> (8685)
ye, praise
<01984> (8761)
ye, and say
<0559> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
save
<03467> (8685)
thy people
<05971>_,
the remnant
<07611>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
them from the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_,
and gather
<06908> (8765)
them from the coasts
<03411>
of the earth
<0776>_,
[and] with them the blind
<05787>
and the lame
<06455>_,
the woman with child
<02030>
and her that travaileth with child
<03205> (8802)
together
<03162>_:
a great
<01419>
company
<06951>
shall return
<07725> (8799)
thither.
They shall come
<0935> (8799)
with weeping
<01065>_,
and with supplications
<08469>
will I lead
<02986> (8686)
them: I will cause them to walk
<03212> (8686)
by the rivers
<05158>
of waters
<04325>
in a straight
<03477>
way
<01870>_,
wherein they shall not stumble
<03782> (8735)_:
for I am a father
<01>
to Israel
<03478>_,
and Ephraim
<0669>
[is] my firstborn
<01060>_.
{supplications: or, favours}
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
O ye nations
<01471>_,
and declare
<05046> (8685)
[it] in the isles
<0339>
afar off
<04801>_,
and say
<0559> (8798)_,
He that scattered
<02219> (8764)
Israel
<03478>
will gather
<06908> (8762)
him, and keep
<08104> (8804)
him, as a shepherd
<07462> (8802)
[doth] his flock
<05739>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and ransomed
<01350> (8804)
him from the hand
<03027>
of [him that was] stronger
<02389>
than he.
Therefore they shall come
<0935> (8804)
and sing
<07442> (8765)
in the height
<04791>
of Zion
<06726>_,
and shall flow together
<05102> (8804)
to the goodness
<02898>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
for wheat
<01715>_,
and for wine
<08492>_,
and for oil
<03323>_,
and for the young
<01121>
of the flock
<06629>
and of the herd
<01241>_:
and their soul
<05315>
shall be as a watered
<07302>
garden
<01588>_;
and they shall not sorrow
<01669> (8800)
any more
<03254> (8686)
at all.
Then shall the virgin
<01330>
rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in the dance
<04234>_,
both young men
<0970>
and old
<02205>
together
<03162>_:
for I will turn
<02015> (8804)
their mourning
<060>
into joy
<08342>_,
and will comfort
<05162> (8765)
them, and make them rejoice
<08055> (8765)
from their sorrow
<03015>_.
And I will satiate
<07301> (8765)
the soul
<05315>
of the priests
<03548>
with fatness
<01880>_,
and my people
<05971>
shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
with my goodness
<02898>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
A voice
<06963>
was heard
<08085> (8738)
in Ramah
<07414>_,
lamentation
<05092>_,
[and] bitter
<08563>
weeping
<01065>_;
Rahel
<07354>
weeping
<01058> (8764)
for her children
<01121>
refused
<03985> (8765)
to be comforted
<05162> (8736)
for her children
<01121>_,
because they [were] not.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Refrain
<04513> (8798)
thy voice
<06963>
from weeping
<01065>_,
and thine eyes
<05869>
from tears
<01832>_:
for thy work
<06468>
shall be
<03426>
rewarded
<07939>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and they shall come again
<07725> (8804)
from the land
<0776>
of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.
And there is
<03426>
hope
<08615>
in thine end
<0319>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that thy children
<01121>
shall come again
<07725> (8804)
to their own border
<01366>_.
I have surely
<08085> (8800)
heard
<08085> (8804)
Ephraim
<0669>
bemoaning
<05110> (8711)
himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised
<03256> (8765)
me, and I was chastised
<03256> (8735)_,
as a bullock
<05695>
unaccustomed
<03808> <03925> (8795)
[to the yoke]: turn
<07725> (8685)
thou me, and I shall be turned
<07725> (8799)_;
for thou [art] the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_.
Surely after
<0310>
that I was turned
<07725> (8800)_,
I repented
<05162> (8738)_;
and after
<0310>
that I was instructed
<03045> (8736)_,
I smote
<05606> (8804)
upon [my] thigh
<03409>_:
I was ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,
yea, even confounded
<03637> (8738)_,
because I did bear
<05375> (8804)
the reproach
<02781>
of my youth
<05271>_.
[Is] Ephraim
<0669>
my dear
<03357>
son
<01121>_?
[is he] a pleasant
<08191>
child
<03206>_?
for since
<01767>
I spake
<01696> (8763)
against him, I do earnestly
<02142> (8800)
remember
<02142> (8799)
him still: therefore my bowels
<04578>
are troubled
<01993> (8804)
for him; I will surely
<07355> (8763)
have mercy
<07355> (8762)
upon him, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{are...: Heb. sound}
Set thee up
<05324> (8685)
waymarks
<06725>_,
make
<07760> (8798)
thee high heaps
<08564>_:
set
<07896> (8798)
thine heart
<03820>
toward the highway
<04546>_,
[even] the way
<01870>
[which] thou wentest
<01980> (8804)_:
turn again
<07725> (8798)_,
O virgin
<01330>
of Israel
<03478>_,
turn again
<07725> (8798)
to these thy cities
<05892>_.
How long wilt thou go about
<02559> (8691)_,
O thou backsliding
<07728>
daughter
<01323>_?
for the LORD
<03068>
hath created
<01254> (8804)
a new thing
<02319>
in the earth
<0776>_,
A woman
<05347>
shall compass
<05437> (8779)
a man
<01397>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
As yet they shall use
<0559> (8799)
this speech
<01697>
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>
and in the cities
<05892>
thereof, when I shall bring again
<07725> (8800)
their captivity
<07622>_;
The LORD
<03068>
bless
<01288> (8762)
thee, O habitation
<05116>
of justice
<06664>_,
[and] mountain
<02022>
of holiness
<06944>_.
And there shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
in Judah
<03063>
itself, and in all the cities
<05892>
thereof together
<03162>_,
husbandmen
<0406>_,
and they [that] go forth
<05265> (8804)
with flocks
<05739>_.
For I have satiated
<07301> (8689)
the weary
<05889>
soul
<05315>_,
and I have replenished
<04390> (8765)
every sorrowful
<01669> (8804)
soul
<05315>_.
Upon this I awaked
<06974> (8689)_,
and beheld
<07200> (8799)_;
and my sleep
<08142>
was sweet
<06149> (8804)
unto me.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will sow
<02232> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
and the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
with the seed
<02233>
of man
<0120>_,
and with the seed
<02233>
of beast
<0929>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over
<08245> (8804)
them, to pluck up
<05428> (8800)_,
and to break down
<05422> (8800)_,
and to throw down
<02040> (8800)_,
and to destroy
<06> (8687)_,
and to afflict
<07489> (8687)_;
so will I watch over
<08245> (8799)
them, to build
<01129> (8800)_,
and to plant
<05193> (8800)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
In those days
<03117>
they shall say
<0559> (8799)
no more, The fathers
<01>
have eaten
<0398> (8804)
a sour grape
<01155>_,
and the children's
<01121>
teeth
<08127>
are set on edge
<06949> (8799)_.
But every one
<0376>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
for his own iniquity
<05771>_:
every man
<0120>
that eateth
<0398> (8802)
the sour grape
<01155>_,
his teeth
<08127>
shall be set on edge
<06949> (8799)_.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will make
<03772> (8804)
a new
<02319>
covenant
<01285>
with the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and with the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_:
Not according to the covenant
<01285>
that I made
<03772> (8804)
with their fathers
<01>
in the day
<03117>
[that] I took
<02388> (8687)
them by the hand
<03027>
to bring them out
<03318> (8687)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
which my covenant
<01285>
they brake
<06565> (8689)_,
although I was an husband
<01166> (8804)
unto them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
{although...: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this [shall be] the covenant
<01285>
that I will make
<03772> (8799)
with the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
After
<0310>
those days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
I will put
<05414> (8804)
my law
<08451>
in their inward parts
<07130>_,
and write
<03789> (8799)
it in their hearts
<03820>_;
and will be their God
<0430>_,
and they shall be my people
<05971>_.
And they shall teach
<03925> (8762)
no more every man
<0376>
his neighbour
<07453>_,
and every man
<0376>
his brother
<0251>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Know
<03045> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for they shall all know
<03045> (8799)
me, from the least
<06996>
of them unto the greatest
<01419>
of them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I will forgive
<05545> (8799)
their iniquity
<05771>_,
and I will remember
<02142> (8799)
their sin
<02403>
no more.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which giveth
<05414> (8802)
the sun
<08121>
for a light
<0216>
by day
<03119>_,
[and] the ordinances
<02708>
of the moon
<03394>
and of the stars
<03556>
for a light
<0216>
by night
<03915>_,
which divideth
<07280> (8802)
the sea
<03220>
when the waves
<01530>
thereof roar
<01993> (8799)_;
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_:
If those ordinances
<02706>
depart
<04185> (8799)
from before
<06440>
me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[then] the seed
<02233>
of Israel
<03478>
also shall cease
<07673> (8799)
from being a nation
<01471>
before
<06440>
me for ever
<03117>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
If heaven
<08064>
above
<04605>
can be measured
<04058> (8735)_,
and the foundations
<04146>
of the earth
<0776>
searched out
<02713> (8735)
beneath
<04295>_,
I will also cast off
<03988> (8799)
all the seed
<02233>
of Israel
<03478>
for all that they have done
<06213> (8804)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that the city
<05892>
shall be built
<01129> (8738)
to the LORD
<03068>
from the tower
<04026>
of Hananeel
<02606>
unto the gate
<08179>
of the corner
<06438>_.
And the measuring
<04060>
line
<06957> (8675) <06961>
shall yet go forth
<03318> (8804)
over against it upon the hill
<01389>
Gareb
<01619>_,
and shall compass about
<05437> (8738)
to Goath
<01601>_.
And the whole valley
<06010>
of the dead bodies
<06297>_,
and of the ashes
<01880>_,
and all the fields
<07709> (8675) <08309>
unto the brook
<05158>
of Kidron
<06939>_,
unto the corner
<06438>
of the horse
<05483>
gate
<08179>
toward the east
<04217>_,
[shall be] holy
<06944>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
it shall not be plucked up
<05428> (8735)_,
nor thrown down
<02040> (8735)
any more for ever
<05769>_.
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>
in the tenth
<06224>
year
<08141>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which [was] the eighteenth
<08083> <06240> <08141>
year
<08141>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>_.
For then the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>
besieged
<06696> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>_:
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
was shut up
<03607> (8803)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
which [was] in the king
<04428>
of Judah's
<03063>
house
<01004>_.
For Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had shut him up
<03607> (8804)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Wherefore dost thou prophesy
<05012> (8737)_,
and say
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
this city
<05892>
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall take
<03920> (8804)
it;
And Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
shall not escape
<04422> (8735)
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
but shall surely
<05414> (8736)
be delivered
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and shall speak
<01696> (8765)
with him mouth
<06310>
to mouth
<06310>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
shall behold
<07200> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_;
And he shall lead
<03212> (8686)
Zedekiah
<06667>
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and there shall he be until I visit
<06485> (8800)
him, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
though ye fight
<03898> (8735)
with the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
ye shall not prosper
<06743> (8686)_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, Hanameel
<02601>
the son
<01121>
of Shallum
<07967>
thine uncle
<01730>
shall come
<0935> (8802)
unto thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Buy
<07069> (8798)
thee my field
<07704>
that [is] in Anathoth
<06068>_:
for the right
<04941>
of redemption
<01353>
[is] thine to buy
<07069> (8800)
[it].
So Hanameel
<02601>
mine uncle's
<01730>
son
<01121>
came
<0935> (8799)
to me in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Buy
<07069> (8798)
my field
<07704>_,
I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth
<06068>_,
which [is] in the country
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
for the right
<04941>
of inheritance
<03425>
[is] thine, and the redemption
<01353>
[is] thine; buy
<07069> (8798)
[it] for thyself. Then I knew
<03045> (8799)
that this [was] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And I bought
<07069> (8799)
the field
<07704>
of Hanameel
<02601>
my uncle's
<01730>
son
<01121>_,
that [was] in Anathoth
<06068>_,
and weighed
<08254> (8799)
him the money
<03701>_,
[even] seventeen
<07651> <06235>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_.
{seventeen...: or, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver}
And I subscribed
<03789> (8799)
the evidence
<05612>_,
and sealed
<02856> (8799)
[it], and took
<05749> (8686)
witnesses
<05707>_,
and weighed
<08254> (8799)
[him] the money
<03701>
in the balances
<03976>_.
{subscribed...: Heb. wrote in the book}
So I took
<03947> (8799)
the evidence
<05612>
of the purchase
<04736>_,
[both] that which was sealed
<02856> (8803)
[according] to the law
<04687>
and custom
<02706>_,
and that which was open
<01540> (8803)_:
And I gave
<05414> (8799)
the evidence
<05612>
of the purchase
<04736>
unto Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04271>_,
in the sight
<05869>
of Hanameel
<02601>
mine uncle's
<01730>
[son], and in the presence
<05869>
of the witnesses
<05707>
that subscribed
<03789> (8802)
the book
<05612>
of the purchase
<04736>_,
before
<05869>
all the Jews
<03064>
that sat
<03427> (8802)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_.
And I charged
<06680> (8762)
Baruch
<01263>
before
<05869>
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Take
<03947> (8800)
these evidences
<05612>_,
this evidence
<05612>
of the purchase
<04736>_,
both which is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,
and this evidence
<05612>
which is open
<01540> (8803)_;
and put
<05414> (8804)
them in an earthen
<02789>
vessel
<03627>_,
that they may continue
<05975> (8799)
many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Houses
<01004>
and fields
<07704>
and vineyards
<03754>
shall be possessed again
<07069> (8735)
in this land
<0776>_.
Now when
<0310>
I had delivered
<05414> (8800)
the evidence
<05612>
of the purchase
<04736>
unto Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
I prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ah
<0162>
Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_!
behold, thou hast made
<06213> (8804)
the heaven
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>
by thy great
<01419>
power
<03581>
and stretched out
<05186> (8803)
arm
<02220>_,
[and] there is nothing
<01697>
too hard
<06381> (8735)
for thee: {too...: or, hid from thee}
Thou shewest
<06213> (8802)
lovingkindness
<02617>
unto thousands
<0505>_,
and recompensest
<07999> (8764)
the iniquity
<05771>
of the fathers
<01>
into the bosom
<02436>
of their children
<01121>
after
<0310>
them: the Great
<01419>_,
the Mighty
<01368>
God
<0410>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
[is] his name
<08034>_,
Great
<01419>
in counsel
<06098>_,
and mighty
<07227>
in work
<05950>_:
for thine eyes
<05869>
[are] open
<06491> (8803)
upon all the ways
<01870>
of the sons
<01121>
of men
<0120>_:
to give
<05414> (8800)
every one
<0376>
according to his ways
<01870>_,
and according to the fruit
<06529>
of his doings
<04611>_:
{work: Heb. doing}
Which hast set
<07760> (8804)
signs
<0226>
and wonders
<04159>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
[even] unto this day
<03117>_,
and in Israel
<03478>_,
and among [other] men
<0120>_;
and hast made
<06213> (8799)
thee a name
<08034>_,
as at this day
<03117>_;
And hast brought forth
<03318> (8686)
thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
with signs
<0226>_,
and with wonders
<04159>_,
and with a strong
<02389>
hand
<03027>_,
and with a stretched out
<05186> (8803)
arm
<0248>_,
and with great
<01419>
terror
<04172>_;
And hast given
<05414> (8799)
them this land
<0776>_,
which thou didst swear
<07650> (8738)
to their fathers
<01>
to give
<05414> (8800)
them, a land
<0776>
flowing
<02100> (8802)
with milk
<02461>
and honey
<01706>_;
And they came in
<0935> (8799)_,
and possessed
<03423> (8799)
it; but they obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not thy voice
<06963>_,
neither walked
<01980> (8804)
in thy law
<08451>_;
they have done
<06213> (8804)
nothing of all that thou commandedst
<06680> (8765)
them to do
<06213> (8800)_:
therefore thou hast caused all this evil
<07451>
to come
<07122> (8686)
upon them:
Behold the mounts
<05550>_,
they are come
<0935> (8804)
unto the city
<05892>
to take
<03920> (8800)
it; and the city
<05892>
is given
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
that fight
<03898> (8737)
against it, because
<06440>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and of the famine
<07458>_,
and of the pestilence
<01698>_:
and what thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest
<07200> (8802)
[it]. {mounts: or, engines of shot}
And thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
Buy
<07069> (8798)
thee the field
<07704>
for money
<03701>_,
and take
<05749> (8685)
witnesses
<05707>_;
for the city
<05892>
is given
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
{for the: or, though the}
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, I [am] the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of all flesh
<01320>_:
is there any thing
<01697>
too hard
<06381> (8735)
for me?
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
this city
<05892>
into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall take
<03920> (8804)
it:
And the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
that fight
<03898> (8737)
against this city
<05892>_,
shall come
<0935> (8804)
and set
<03341> (8689)
fire
<0784>
on this city
<05892>_,
and burn
<08313> (8804)
it with the houses
<01004>_,
upon whose roofs
<01406>
they have offered incense
<06999> (8765)
unto Baal
<01168>_,
and poured out
<05258> (8689)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_.
For the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
have only done
<06213> (8802)
evil
<07451>
before
<05869>
me from their youth
<05271>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have only provoked me to anger
<03707> (8688)
with the work
<04639>
of their hands
<03027>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
For this city
<05892>
hath been to me [as] a provocation of mine anger
<0639>
and of my fury
<02534>
from the day
<03117>
that they built
<01129> (8804)
it even unto this day
<03117>_;
that I should remove
<05493> (8687)
it from before my face
<06440>_,
{a provocation...: Heb. for my anger}
Because of all the evil
<07451>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and of the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_,
they, their kings
<04428>_,
their princes
<08269>_,
their priests
<03548>_,
and their prophets
<05030>_,
and the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And they have turned
<06437> (8799)
unto me the back
<06203>_,
and not the face
<06440>_:
though I taught
<03925> (8763)
them, rising up early
<07925> (8687)
and teaching
<03925> (8763)
[them], yet they have not hearkened
<08085> (8802)
to receive
<03947> (8800)
instruction
<04148>_.
{back: Heb. neck}
But they set
<07760> (8799)
their abominations
<08251>
in the house
<01004>_,
which is called
<07121> (8738)
by my name
<08034>_,
to defile
<02930> (8763)
it.
And they built
<01129> (8799)
the high places
<01116>
of Baal
<01168>_,
which [are] in the valley
<01516>
of the son
<01121>
of Hinnom
<02011>_,
to cause their sons
<01121>
and their daughters
<01323>
to pass
<05674> (8687)
through [the fire] unto Molech
<04432>_;
which I commanded
<06680> (8765)
them not, neither came
<05927> (8804)
it into my mind
<03820>_,
that they should do
<06213> (8800)
this abomination
<08441>_,
to cause Judah
<03063>
to sin
<02398> (8687)_.
And now therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
concerning this city
<05892>_,
whereof ye say
<0559> (8802)_,
It shall be delivered
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
by the sword
<02719>_,
and by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_;
Behold, I will gather them out
<06908> (8764)
of all countries
<0776>_,
whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)
them in mine anger
<0639>_,
and in my fury
<02534>_,
and in great
<01419>
wrath
<07110>_;
and I will bring them again
<07725> (8689)
unto this place
<04725>_,
and I will cause them to dwell
<03427> (8689)
safely
<0983>_:
And they shall be my people
<05971>_,
and I will be their God
<0430>_:
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
them one
<0259>
heart
<03820>_,
and one
<0259>
way
<01870>_,
that they may fear
<03372> (8800)
me for ever
<03117>_,
for the good
<02896>
of them, and of their children
<01121>
after
<0310>
them: {for ever: Heb. all days}
And I will make
<03772> (8804)
an everlasting
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
with them, that I will not turn away
<07725> (8799)
from them
<0310>_,
to do them good
<03190> (8687)_;
but I will put
<05414> (8799)
my fear
<03374>
in their hearts
<03824>_,
that they shall not depart
<05493> (8800)
from me. {from them: Heb. from after them}
Yea, I will rejoice
<07797> (8804)
over them to do them good
<02895> (8687)_,
and I will plant
<05193> (8804)
them in this land
<0776>
assuredly
<0571>
with my whole heart
<03820>
and with my whole soul
<05315>_.
{assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Like as I have brought
<0935> (8689)
all this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>
upon this people
<05971>_,
so will I bring
<0935> (8688)
upon them all the good
<02896>
that I have promised
<01696> (8802)
them.
And fields
<07704>
shall be bought
<07069> (8738)
in this land
<0776>_,
whereof ye say
<0559> (8802)_,
[It is] desolate
<08077>
without man
<0120>
or beast
<0929>_;
it is given
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
Men shall buy
<07069> (8799)
fields
<07704>
for money
<03701>_,
and subscribe
<03789> (8800)
evidences
<05612>_,
and seal
<02856> (8800)
[them], and take
<05749> (8687)
witnesses
<05707>
in the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and in the places about
<05439>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of the valley
<08219>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of the south
<05045>_:
for I will cause their captivity
<07622>
to return
<07725> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
the second
<08145>
time, while he was yet shut up
<06113> (8803)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
the maker
<06213> (8802)
thereof, the LORD
<03068>
that formed
<03335> (8802)
it, to establish
<03559> (8687)
it; the LORD
<03068>
[is] his name
<08034>_;
{the LORD is: or, JEHOVAH, etc}
Call
<07121> (8798)
unto me, and I will answer
<06030> (8799)
thee, and shew
<05046> (8686)
thee great
<01419>
and mighty things
<01219> (8803)_,
which thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
not. {mighty: or, hidden}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
concerning the houses
<01004>
of this city
<05892>_,
and concerning the houses
<01004>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which are thrown down
<05422> (8803)
by the mounts
<05550>_,
and by the sword
<02719>_;
They come
<0935> (8802)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
but [it is] to fill
<04390> (8763)
them with the dead bodies
<06297>
of men
<0120>_,
whom I have slain
<05221> (8689)
in mine anger
<0639>
and in my fury
<02534>_,
and for all whose wickedness
<07451>
I have hid
<05641> (8689)
my face
<06440>
from this city
<05892>_.
Behold, I will bring
<05927> (8688)
it health
<0724>
and cure
<04832>_,
and I will cure
<07495> (8804)
them, and will reveal
<01540> (8765)
unto them the abundance
<06283>
of peace
<07965>
and truth
<0571>_.
And I will cause the captivity
<07622>
of Judah
<03063>
and the captivity
<07622>
of Israel
<03478>
to return
<07725> (8689)_,
and will build
<01129> (8804)
them, as at the first
<07223>_.
And I will cleanse
<02891> (8765)
them from all their iniquity
<05771>_,
whereby they have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against me; and I will pardon
<05545> (8804)
all their iniquities
<05771>_,
whereby they have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and whereby they have transgressed
<06586> (8804)
against me.
And it shall be to me a name
<08034>
of joy
<08342>_,
a praise
<08416>
and an honour
<08597>
before all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>_,
which shall hear
<08085> (8799)
all the good
<02896>
that I do
<06213> (8802)
unto them: and they shall fear
<06342> (8804)
and tremble
<07264> (8804)
for all the goodness
<02896>
and for all the prosperity
<07965>
that I procure
<06213> (8802)
unto it.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Again there shall be heard
<08085> (8735)
in this place
<04725>_,
which ye say
<0559> (8802)
[shall be] desolate
<02720>
without man
<0120>
and without beast
<0929>_,
[even] in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that are desolate
<08074> (8737)_,
without man
<0120>_,
and without inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_,
and without beast
<0929>_,
The voice
<06963>
of joy
<08342>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of gladness
<08057>_,
the voice
<06963>
of the bridegroom
<02860>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of the bride
<03618>_,
the voice
<06963>
of them that shall say
<0559> (8802)_,
Praise
<03034> (8685)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
[is] good
<02896>_;
for his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>_:
[and] of them that shall bring
<0935> (8688)
the sacrifice of praise
<08426>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
For I will cause to return
<07725> (8686)
the captivity
<07622>
of the land
<0776>_,
as at the first
<07223>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Again in this place
<04725>_,
which is desolate
<02720>
without man
<0120>
and without beast
<0929>_,
and in all the cities
<05892>
thereof, shall be an habitation
<05116>
of shepherds
<07462> (8802)
causing [their] flocks
<06629>
to lie down
<07257> (8688)_.
In the cities
<05892>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
in the cities
<05892>
of the vale
<08219>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of the south
<05045>_,
and in the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and in the places about
<05439>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
shall the flocks
<06629>
pass again
<05674> (8799)
under the hands
<03027>
of him that telleth
<04487> (8802)
[them], saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will perform
<06965> (8689)
that good
<02896>
thing
<01697>
which I have promised
<01696> (8765)
unto the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
and to the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and at that time
<06256>_,
will I cause the Branch
<06780>
of righteousness
<06666>
to grow up
<06779> (8686)
unto David
<01732>_;
and he shall execute
<06213> (8804)
judgment
<04941>
and righteousness
<06666>
in the land
<0776>_.
In those days
<03117>
shall Judah
<03063>
be saved
<03467> (8735)_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
safely
<0983>_:
and this [is the name] wherewith she shall be called
<07121> (8799)_,
The LORD our righteousness
<03072>_.
{The LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
David
<01732>
shall never
<03808>
want
<03772> (8735)
a man
<0376>
to sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_;
{David...: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David}
Neither shall the priests
<03548>
the Levites
<03881>
want
<03772> (8735)
a man
<0376>
before
<06440>
me to offer
<05927> (8688)
burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and to kindle
<06999> (8688)
meat offerings
<04503>_,
and to do
<06213> (8802)
sacrifice
<02077>
continually
<03117>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
If ye can break
<06565> (8686)
my covenant
<01285>
of the day
<03117>_,
and my covenant
<01285>
of the night
<03915>_,
and that there should not be day
<03119>
and night
<03915>
in their season
<06256>_;
[Then] may also my covenant
<01285>
be broken
<06565> (8714)
with David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>_,
that he should not have a son
<01121>
to reign
<04427> (8802)
upon his throne
<03678>_;
and with the Levites
<03881>
the priests
<03548>_,
my ministers
<08334> (8764)_.
As the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>
cannot be numbered
<05608> (8735)_,
neither the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>
measured
<04058> (8735)_:
so will I multiply
<07235> (8686)
the seed
<02233>
of David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
that minister
<08334> (8764)
unto me.
Moreover the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Considerest
<07200> (8804)
thou not what this people
<05971>
have spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The two
<08147>
families
<04940>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
he hath even cast them off
<03988> (8799)_?
thus they have despised
<05006> (8799)
my people
<05971>_,
that they should be no more a nation
<01471>
before
<06440>
them.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
If my covenant
<01285>
[be] not with day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_,
[and if] I have not appointed
<07760> (8804)
the ordinances
<02708>
of heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_;
Then
<01571>
will I cast away
<03988> (8799)
the seed
<02233>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
and David
<01732>
my servant
<05650>_,
[so] that I will not take
<03947> (8800)
[any] of his seed
<02233>
[to be] rulers
<04910> (8802)
over the seed
<02233>
of Abraham
<085>_,
Isaac
<03446>_,
and Jacob
<03290>_:
for I will cause their captivity
<07622>
to return
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)_,
and have mercy
<07355> (8765)
on them.
The word
<01697>
which came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
when Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and all his army
<02428>_,
and all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>
of his dominion
<03027> <04475>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
fought
<03898> (8737)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and against all the cities
<05892>
thereof, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{of his...: Heb. the dominion of his hand}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Go
<01980> (8800)
and speak
<0559> (8804)
to Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and tell
<0559> (8804)
him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
this city
<05892>
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)
it with fire
<0784>_:
And thou shalt not escape out
<04422> (8735)
of his hand
<03027>_,
but shalt surely
<08610> (8800)
be taken
<08610> (8735)_,
and delivered
<05414> (8735)
into his hand
<03027>_;
and thine eyes
<05869>
shall behold
<07200> (8799)
the eyes
<05869>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall speak
<01696> (8762)
with thee mouth
<06310>
to mouth
<06310>_,
and thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)
to Babylon
<0894>_.
{he shall...: Heb. his mouth shall speak to thy mouth}
Yet hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
O Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of thee, Thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_:
[But] thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)
in peace
<07965>_:
and with the burnings
<04955>
of thy fathers
<01>_,
the former
<07223>
kings
<04428>
which were before
<06440>
thee, so shall they burn
<08313> (8799)
[odours] for thee; and they will lament
<05594> (8799)
thee, [saying], Ah
<01945>
lord
<0113>_!
for I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)
the word
<01697>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
spake
<01696> (8762)
all these words
<01697>
unto Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
When the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>
fought
<03898> (8737)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and against all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
that were left
<03498> (8737)_,
against Lachish
<03923>_,
and against Azekah
<05825>_:
for these defenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>
remained
<07604> (8738)
of the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_.
[This is] the word
<01697>
that came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
after
<0310>
that the king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>
had made
<03772> (8800)
a covenant
<01285>
with all the people
<05971>
which [were] at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to proclaim
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
unto them;
That every man
<0376>
should let his manservant
<05650>_,
and every man
<0376>
his maidservant
<08198>_,
[being] an Hebrew
<05680>
or an Hebrewess
<05680>_,
go
<07971> (8763)
free
<02670>_;
that none should serve
<05647> (8800)
himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew
<03064>
his brother
<0251>_.
Now when all the princes
<08269>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
which had entered
<0935> (8804)
into the covenant
<01285>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that every one
<0376>
should let his manservant
<05650>_,
and every one
<0376>
his maidservant
<08198>_,
go
<07971> (8763)
free
<02670>_,
that none should serve
<05647> (8800)
themselves of them any more, then they obeyed
<08085> (8799)_,
and let [them] go
<07971> (8762)_.
But afterward
<0310>
they turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and caused the servants
<05650>
and the handmaids
<08198>_,
whom they had let go
<07971> (8765)
free
<02670>_,
to return
<07725> (8686)_,
and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799) (8675) <03533> (8686)
for servants
<05650>
and for handmaids
<08198>_.
Therefore the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
I made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with your fathers
<01>
in the day
<03117>
that I brought them forth
<03318> (8687)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
out of the house
<01004>
of bondmen
<05650>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
At the end
<07093>
of seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
let ye go
<07971> (8762)
every man
<0376>
his brother
<0251>
an Hebrew
<05680>_,
which hath been sold
<04376> (8735)
unto thee; and when he hath served
<05647> (8804)
thee six
<08337>
years
<08141>_,
thou shalt let him go
<07971> (8765)
free
<02670>
from thee: but your fathers
<01>
hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto me, neither inclined
<05186> (8689)
their ear
<0241>_.
{hath been...: or, hath sold himself}
And ye were now
<03117>
turned
<07725> (8799)_,
and had done
<06213> (8799)
right
<03477>
in my sight
<05869>_,
in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>
every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_;
and ye had made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
before
<06440>
me in the house
<01004>
which is called
<07121> (8738)
by my name
<08034>_:
{now: Heb. to day} {which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called}
But ye turned
<07725> (8799)
and polluted
<02490> (8762)
my name
<08034>_,
and caused every man
<0376>
his servant
<05650>_,
and every man
<0376>
his handmaid
<08198>_,
whom ye had set
<07971> (8765)
at liberty
<02670>
at their pleasure
<05315>_,
to return
<07725> (8686)_,
and brought them into subjection
<03533> (8799)_,
to be unto you for servants
<05650>
and for handmaids
<08198>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Ye have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me, in proclaiming
<07121> (8800)
liberty
<01865>_,
every one
<0376>
to his brother
<0251>_,
and every man
<0376>
to his neighbour
<07453>_:
behold, I proclaim
<07121> (8802)
a liberty
<01865>
for you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
to the sword
<02719>_,
to the pestilence
<01698>_,
and to the famine
<07458>_;
and I will make
<05414> (8804)
you to be removed
<02189> (8675) <02113>
into all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the earth
<0776>_.
{to be...: Heb. for a removing}
And I will give
<05414> (8804)
the men
<0582>
that have transgressed
<05674> (8802)
my covenant
<01285>_,
which have not performed
<06965> (8689)
the words
<01697>
of the covenant
<01285>
which they had made
<03772> (8804)
before
<06440>
me, when they cut
<03772> (8804)
the calf
<05695>
in twain
<08147>_,
and passed
<05674> (8799)
between the parts
<01335>
thereof,
The princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the princes
<08269>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
the eunuchs
<05631>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
which passed
<05674> (8802)
between the parts
<01335>
of the calf
<05695>_;
I will even give
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_:
and their dead bodies
<05038>
shall be for meat
<03978>
unto the fowls
<05775>
of the heaven
<08064>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_.
And Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
and his princes
<08269>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>_,
which are gone up
<05927> (8802)
from you.
Behold, I will command
<06680> (8764)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and cause them to return
<07725> (8689)
to this city
<05892>_;
and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)
against it, and take
<03920> (8804)
it, and burn
<08313> (8804)
it with fire
<0784>_:
and I will make
<05414> (8799)
the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
a desolation
<08077>
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
The word
<01697>
which came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>
in the days
<03117>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)
unto the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_,
and speak
<01696> (8765)
unto them, and bring
<0935> (8689)
them into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
into one
<0259>
of the chambers
<03957>_,
and give them wine
<03196>
to drink
<08248> (8689)_.
Then I took
<03947> (8799)
Jaazaniah
<02970>
the son
<01121>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
the son
<01121>
of Habaziniah
<02262>_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and all his sons
<01121>_,
and the whole house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_;
And I brought
<0935> (8686)
them into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
into the chamber
<03957>
of the sons
<01121>
of Hanan
<02605>_,
the son
<01121>
of Igdaliah
<03012>_,
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
which [was] by
<0681>
the chamber
<03957>
of the princes
<08269>_,
which [was] above
<04605>
the chamber
<03957>
of Maaseiah
<04641>
the son
<01121>
of Shallum
<07967>_,
the keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>_:
{door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel}
And I set
<05414> (8799)
before
<06440>
the sons
<01121>
of the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>
pots
<01375>
full
<04392>
of wine
<03196>_,
and cups
<03563>_,
and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Drink
<08354> (8798)
ye wine
<03196>_.
But they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will drink
<08354> (8799)
no wine
<03196>_:
for Jonadab
<03122>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
our father
<01>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Ye shall drink
<08354> (8799)
no wine
<03196>_,
[neither ye], nor your sons
<01121>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
Neither shall ye build
<01129> (8799)
house
<01004>_,
nor sow
<02232> (8799)
seed
<02233>_,
nor plant
<05193> (8799)
vineyard
<03754>_,
nor have [any]: but all your days
<03117>
ye shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
in tents
<0168>_;
that ye may live
<02421> (8799)
many
<07227>
days
<03117>
in
<06440>
the land
<0127>
where ye [be] strangers
<01481> (8802)_.
Thus have we obeyed
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
our father
<01>
in all that he hath charged
<06680> (8765)
us, to drink
<08354> (8800)
no wine
<03196>
all our days
<03117>_,
we, our wives
<0802>_,
our sons
<01121>_,
nor our daughters
<01323>_;
Nor to build
<01129> (8800)
houses
<01004>
for us to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:
neither have we vineyard
<03754>_,
nor field
<07704>_,
nor seed
<02233>_:
But we have dwelt in
<03427> (8799)
tents
<0168>_,
and have obeyed
<08085> (8799)_,
and done
<06213> (8799)
according to all that Jonadab
<03122>
our father
<01>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
us.
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came up
<05927> (8800)
into the land
<0776>_,
that we said
<0559> (8799)_,
Come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us go
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>
for fear
<06440>
of the army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and for fear
<06440>
of the army
<02428>
of the Syrians
<0758>_:
so we dwell
<03427> (8799)
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Go
<01980> (8800)
and tell
<0559> (8804)
the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
Will ye not receive
<03947> (8799)
instruction
<04148>
to hearken
<08085> (8800)
to my words
<01697>_?
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The words
<01697>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>_,
that he commanded
<06680> (8765)
his sons
<01121>
not to drink
<08354> (8800)
wine
<03196>_,
are performed
<06965> (8717)_;
for unto this day
<03117>
they drink
<08354> (8804)
none, but obey
<08085> (8804)
their father's
<01>
commandment
<04687>_:
notwithstanding I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto you, rising early
<07925> (8687)
and speaking
<01696> (8763)_;
but ye hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto me.
I have sent
<07971> (8799)
also unto you all my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
rising up early
<07925> (8687)
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them], saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Return
<07725> (8798)
ye now every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
and amend
<03190> (8685)
your doings
<04611>_,
and go
<03212> (8799)
not after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
them, and ye shall dwell in
<03427> (8798)
the land
<0127>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
to you and to your fathers
<01>_:
but ye have not inclined
<05186> (8689)
your ear
<0241>_,
nor hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me.
Because the sons
<01121>
of Jonadab
<03082>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
have performed
<06965> (8689)
the commandment
<04687>
of their father
<01>_,
which he commanded
<06680> (8765)
them; but this people
<05971>
hath not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto me:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon Judah
<03063>
and upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
all the evil
<07451>
that I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against them: because I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto them, but they have not heard
<08085> (8804)_;
and I have called
<07121> (8799)
unto them, but they have not answered
<06030> (8804)_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto the house
<01004>
of the Rechabites
<07397>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Because ye have obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the commandment
<04687>
of Jonadab
<03082>
your father
<01>_,
and kept
<08104> (8799)
all his precepts
<04687>_,
and done
<06213> (8799)
according unto all that he hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
you:
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Jonadab
<03122>
the son
<01121>
of Rechab
<07394>
shall not want
<03772> (8735)
a man
<0376>
to stand
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
me for ever
<03117>_.
{Jonadab...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off from Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand, etc}
And it came to pass in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
[that] this word
<01697>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_,
and write
<03789> (8804)
therein all the words
<01697>
that I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thee against Israel
<03478>_,
and against Judah
<03063>_,
and against all the nations
<01471>_,
from the day
<03117>
I spake
<01696> (8765)
unto thee, from the days
<03117>
of Josiah
<02977>_,
even unto this day
<03117>_.
It may be that the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
will hear
<08085> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
which I purpose
<02803> (8802)
to do
<06213> (8800)
unto them; that they may return
<07725> (8799)
every man
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_;
that I may forgive
<05545> (8804)
their iniquity
<05771>
and their sin
<02403>_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
called
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_:
and Baruch
<01263>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
from the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he had spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto him, upon a roll
<04039>
of a book
<05612>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I [am] shut up
<06113> (8803)_;
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Therefore go
<0935> (8804)
thou, and read
<07121> (8804)
in the roll
<04039>_,
which thou hast written
<03789> (8804)
from my mouth
<06310>_,
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>
upon the fasting
<06685>
day
<03117>_:
and also thou shalt read
<07121> (8799)
them in the ears
<0241>
of all Judah
<03063>
that come out
<0935> (8802)
of their cities
<05892>_.
It may be they will present
<05307> (8799)
their supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and will return
<07725> (8799)
every one
<0376>
from his evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the anger
<0639>
and the fury
<02534>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against this people
<05971>_.
{they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail}
And Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to all that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
him, reading
<07121> (8800)
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
And it came to pass in the fifth
<02549>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_,
[that] they proclaimed
<07121> (8804)
a fast
<06685>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
to all the people
<05971>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
that came
<0935> (8802)
from the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then read
<07121> (8799)
Baruch
<01263>
in the book
<05612>
the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in the chamber
<03957>
of Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
in the higher
<05945>
court
<02691>_,
at the entry
<06607>
of the new
<02319>
gate
<08179>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_,
in the ears
<0241>
of all the people
<05971>_.
{entry: or, door}
When Michaiah
<04321>
the son
<01121>
of Gemariah
<01587>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
had heard
<08085> (8799)
out of the book
<05612>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Then he went down
<03381> (8799)
into the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
into the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_:
and, lo, all the princes
<08269>
sat
<03427> (8802)
there, [even] Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Delaiah
<01806>
the son
<01121>
of Shemaiah
<08098>_,
and Elnathan
<0494>
the son
<01121>
of Achbor
<05907>_,
and Gemariah
<01587>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Hananiah
<02608>_,
and all the princes
<08269>_.
Then Michaiah
<04321>
declared
<05046> (8686)
unto them all the words
<01697>
that he had heard
<08085> (8804)_,
when Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8800)
the book
<05612>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_.
Therefore all the princes
<08269>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
the son
<01121>
of Cushi
<03570>_,
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
in thine hand
<03027>
the roll
<04039>
wherein thou hast read
<07121> (8804)
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_,
and come
<03212> (8798)_.
So Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
took
<03947> (8799)
the roll
<04039>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto them.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Sit down
<03427> (8798)
now, and read
<07121> (8798)
it in our ears
<0241>_.
So Baruch
<01263>
read
<07121> (8799)
[it] in their ears
<0241>_.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard
<08085> (8800)
all the words
<01697>_,
they were afraid
<06342> (8804)
both
<0413>
one
<0376>
and other
<07453>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
We will surely
<05046> (8687)
tell
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>
of all these words
<01697>_.
And they asked
<07592> (8804)
Baruch
<01263>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
us now, How didst thou write
<03789> (8804)
all these words
<01697>
at his mouth
<06310>_?
Then Baruch
<01263>
answered
<0559> (8799)
them, He pronounced
<07121> (8799)
all these words
<01697>
unto me with his mouth
<06310>_,
and I wrote
<03789> (8802)
[them] with ink
<01773>
in the book
<05612>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the princes
<08269>
unto Baruch
<01263>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
hide
<05641> (8734)
thee, thou and Jeremiah
<03414>_;
and let no man
<0376>
know
<03045> (8799)
where
<0375>
ye be.
And they went in
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
into the court
<02691>_,
but they laid up
<06485> (8689)
the roll
<04039>
in the chamber
<03957>
of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
all the words
<01697>
in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_.
So the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehudi
<03065>
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
and he took
<03947> (8799)
it out of Elishama
<0476>
the scribe's
<05608> (8802)
chamber
<03957>_.
And Jehudi
<03065>
read
<07121> (8799)
it in the ears
<0241>
of the king
<04428>_,
and in the ears
<0241>
of all the princes
<08269>
which stood
<05975> (8802)
beside
<05921>
the king
<04428>_.
Now the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the winterhouse
<01004> <02779>
in the ninth
<08671>
month
<02320>_:
and [there was a fire] on the hearth
<0254>
burning
<01197> (8794)
before
<06440>
him.
And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi
<03065>
had read
<07121> (8800)
three
<07969>
or four
<0702>
leaves
<01817>_,
he cut
<07167> (8799)
it with the penknife
<08593> <05608> (8802)_,
and cast
<07993> (8687)
[it] into the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_,
until all the roll
<04039>
was consumed
<08552> (8800)
in the fire
<0784>
that [was] on the hearth
<0254>_.
Yet they were not afraid
<06342> (8804)_,
nor rent
<07167> (8804)
their garments
<0899>_,
[neither] the king
<04428>_,
nor any of his servants
<05650>
that heard
<08085> (8802)
all these words
<01697>_.
Nevertheless Elnathan
<0494>
and Delaiah
<01806>
and Gemariah
<01587>
had made intercession
<06293> (8689)
to the king
<04428>
that he would not burn
<08313> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_:
but he would not hear
<08085> (8804)
them.
But the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Jerahmeel
<03396>
the son
<01121>
of Hammelech
<04429>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Azriel
<05837>_,
and Shelemiah
<08018>
the son
<01121>
of Abdeel
<05655>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
Baruch
<01263>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
hid
<05641> (8686)
them. {of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Then the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>_,
after
<0310>
that the king
<04428>
had burned
<08313> (8800)
the roll
<04039>_,
and the words
<01697>
which Baruch
<01263>
wrote
<03789> (8804)
at the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
thee again
<07725> (8798)
another
<0312>
roll
<04039>_,
and write
<03789> (8798)
in it all the former
<07223>
words
<01697>
that were in the first
<07223>
roll
<04039>_,
which Jehoiakim
<03079>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
hath burned
<08313> (8804)_.
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)
to Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Thou hast burned
<08313> (8804)
this roll
<04039>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Why hast thou written
<03789> (8804)
therein, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall certainly
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)
and destroy
<07843> (8689)
this land
<0776>_,
and shall cause to cease
<07673> (8689)
from thence man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_?
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_;
He shall have none to sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of David
<01732>_:
and his dead body
<05038>
shall be cast out
<07993> (8716)
in the day
<03117>
to the heat
<02721>_,
and in the night
<03915>
to the frost
<07140>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
him and his seed
<02233>
and his servants
<05650>
for their iniquity
<05771>_;
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
upon them, and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and upon the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
all the evil
<07451>
that I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)
against them; but they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Then took
<03947> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
another
<0312>
roll
<04039>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
it to Baruch
<01263>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_;
who wrote
<03789> (8799)
therein from the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
which Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had burned
<08313> (8804)
in the fire
<0784>_:
and there were added
<03254> (8738)
besides unto them many
<07227>
like
<01992>
words
<01697>_.
{like: Heb. as they}
And king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
instead of Coniah
<03659>
the son
<01121>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,
whom Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
made king
<04427> (8689)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_.
But neither he, nor his servants
<05650>_,
nor the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
did hearken
<08085> (8804)
unto the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>_.
{by...: Heb. by the hand of the prophet}
And Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jehucal
<03081>
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>
and Zephaniah
<06846>
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04641>
the priest
<03548>
to the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Pray
<06419> (8690)
now unto the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
for us.
Now Jeremiah
<03414>
came in
<0935> (8804)
and went out
<03318> (8802)
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_:
for they had not put
<05414> (8804)
him into prison
<01004> <03628>_.
Then Pharaoh's
<06547>
army
<02428>
was come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Egypt
<04714>_:
and when the Chaldeans
<03778>
that besieged
<06696> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>
heard
<08085> (8799)
tidings
<08088>
of them, they departed
<05927> (8735)
from Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto the prophet
<05030>
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that sent
<07971> (8802)
you unto me to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of me; Behold, Pharaoh's
<06547>
army
<02428>_,
which is come forth
<03318> (8802)
to help
<05833>
you, shall return
<07725> (8804)
to Egypt
<04714>
into their own land
<0776>_.
And the Chaldeans
<03778>
shall come again
<07725> (8804)_,
and fight
<03898> (8738)
against this city
<05892>_,
and take
<03920> (8804)
it, and burn
<08313> (8804)
it with fire
<0784>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Deceive
<05377> (8686)
not yourselves
<05315>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The Chaldeans
<03778>
shall surely
<01980> (8800)
depart
<03212> (8799)
from us: for they shall not depart
<03212> (8799)_.
{yourselves: Heb. your souls}
For though ye had smitten
<05221> (8689)
the whole army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
that fight
<03898> (8737)
against you, and there remained
<07604> (8738)
[but] wounded
<01856> (8794)
men
<0582>
among them, [yet] should they rise up
<06965> (8799)
every man
<0376>
in his tent
<0168>_,
and burn
<08313> (8804)
this city
<05892>
with fire
<0784>_.
{wounded: Heb. thrust through}
And it came to pass, that when the army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
was broken up
<05927> (8736)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
for fear
<06440>
of Pharaoh's
<06547>
army
<02428>_,
{broken...: Heb. made to ascend}
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of Jerusalem
<03389>
to go
<03212> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
to separate
<02505> (8687)
himself thence in the midst
<08432>
of the people
<05971>_.
{separate...: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people}
And when he was in the gate
<08179>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
a captain
<01167>
of the ward
<06488>
[was] there, whose name
<08034>
[was] Irijah
<03376>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hananiah
<02608>_;
and he took
<08610> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou fallest away
<05307> (8802)
to the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
[It is] false
<08267>_;
I fall not away
<05307> (8802)
to the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
But he hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not to him: so Irijah
<03376>
took
<08610> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to the princes
<08269>_.
{false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie}
Wherefore the princes
<08269>
were wroth
<07107> (8799)
with Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and smote
<05221> (8689)
him, and put
<05414> (8804)
him in prison
<0612>
in the house
<01004>
of Jonathan
<03083>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_:
for they had made
<06213> (8804)
that the prison
<03608>_.
When Jeremiah
<03414>
was entered
<0935> (8804)
into the dungeon
<01004> <0953>_,
and into the cabins
<02588>_,
and Jeremiah
<03414>
had remained
<03427> (8799)
there many
<07227>
days
<03117>_;
{cabins: or, cells}
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took him out
<03947> (8799)_:
and the king
<04428>
asked
<07592> (8799)
him secretly
<05643>
in his house
<01004>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Is there [any] word
<01697>
from the LORD
<03068>_?
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
There is
<03426>_:
for, said
<0559> (8799)
he, thou shalt be delivered
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
Moreover Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>_,
What have I offended
<02398> (8804)
against thee, or against thy servants
<05650>_,
or against this people
<05971>_,
that ye have put
<05414> (8804)
me in prison
<01004> <03608>_?
Where [are] now
<0346>
your prophets
<05030>
which prophesied
<05012> (8738)
unto you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)
against you, nor against this land
<0776>_?
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
now, I pray thee, O my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_:
let my supplication
<08467>_,
I pray thee, be accepted
<05307> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee; that thou cause me not to return
<07725> (8686)
to the house
<01004>
of Jonathan
<03083>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
lest I die
<04191> (8799)
there. {let...: Heb. let my supplication fall}
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
that they should commit
<06485> (8686)
Jeremiah
<03414>
into the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
and that they should give
<05414> (8800)
him daily
<03117>
a piece
<03603>
of bread
<03899>
out of the bakers
<0644> (8802)_'
street
<02351>_,
until all the bread
<03899>
in the city
<05892>
were spent
<08552> (8800)_.
Thus Jeremiah
<03414>
remained
<03427> (8799)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_.
Then Shephatiah
<08203>
the son
<01121>
of Mattan
<04977>_,
and Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Pashur
<06583>_,
and Jucal
<03116>
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
and Pashur
<06583>
the son
<01121>
of Malchiah
<04441>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
that Jeremiah
<03414>
had spoken
<01696> (8764)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
He that remaineth
<03427> (8802)
in this city
<05892>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
but he that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)
to the Chaldeans
<03778>
shall live
<02421> (8804)_;
for he shall have his life
<05315>
for a prey
<07998>_,
and shall live
<02421> (8799) (8675) <02425> (8804)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
This city
<05892>
shall surely
<05414> (8736)
be given
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>_,
which shall take
<03920> (8804)
it.
Therefore the princes
<08269>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
We beseech thee, let this man
<0376>
be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:
for thus
<03651>
he weakeneth
<07503> (8764)
the hands
<03027>
of the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
that remain
<07604> (8737)
in this city
<05892>_,
and the hands
<03027>
of all the people
<05971>_,
in speaking
<01696> (8763)
such words
<01697>
unto them: for this man
<0376>
seeketh
<01875> (8802)
not the welfare
<07965>
of this people
<05971>_,
but the hurt
<07451>_.
{welfare: Heb. peace}
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, he [is] in your hand
<03027>_:
for the king
<04428>
[is] not [he that] can
<03201> (8799)
do [any] thing
<01697>
against you.
Then took
<03947> (8799)
they Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into the dungeon
<0953>
of Malchiah
<04441>
the son
<01121>
of Hammelech
<04428>_,
that [was] in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_:
and they let down
<07971> (8762)
Jeremiah
<03414>
with cords
<02256>_.
And in the dungeon
<0953>
[there was] no water
<04325>_,
but mire
<02916>_:
so Jeremiah
<03414>
sunk
<02883> (8799)
in the mire
<02916>_.
{of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Now when Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
one
<0376>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
which was in the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that they had put
<05414> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
in the dungeon
<0953>_;
the king
<04428>
then sitting
<03427> (8802)
in the gate
<08179>
of Benjamin
<01144>_;
Ebedmelech
<05663>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
to the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
My lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
these men
<0582>
have done evil
<07489> (8689)
in all that they have done
<06213> (8804)
to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
whom they have cast
<07993> (8689)
into the dungeon
<0953>_;
and he is like to die
<04191> (8799)
for
<06440>
hunger
<07458>
in the place
<08478>
where he is: for [there is] no more bread
<03899>
in the city
<05892>_.
{he is like...: Heb. he will die}
Then the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
from hence thirty
<07970>
men
<0582>
with thee
<03027>_,
and take up
<05927> (8689)
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
out of the dungeon
<0953>_,
before he die
<04191> (8799)_.
{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
So Ebedmelech
<05663>
took
<03947> (8799)
the men
<0582>
with him
<03027>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the king
<04428>
under the treasury
<0214>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
thence old
<01094>
cast clouts
<05499>
and old
<01094>
rotten rags
<04418>_,
and let them down
<07971> (8762)
by cords
<02256>
into the dungeon
<0953>
to Jeremiah
<03414>_.
And Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
Put
<07760> (8798)
now [these] old
<01094>
cast clouts
<05499>
and rotten rags
<04418>
under thine armholes
<0679> <03027>
under the cords
<02256>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
did
<06213> (8799)
so.
So they drew up
<04900> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
with cords
<02256>_,
and took him up
<05927> (8686)
out of the dungeon
<0953>_:
and Jeremiah
<03414>
remained
<03427> (8799)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_.
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
unto him into the third
<07992>
entry
<03996>
that [is] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
I will ask
<07592> (8802)
thee a thing
<01697>_;
hide
<03582> (8762)
nothing from me. {third: or, principal}
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Zedekiah
<06667>_,
If I declare
<05046> (8686)
[it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely
<04191> (8687)
put me to death
<04191> (8686)_?
and if I give thee counsel
<03289> (8799)_,
wilt thou not hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto me?
So Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
sware
<07650> (8735)
secretly
<05643>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
that made
<06213> (8804)
us this soul
<05315>_,
I will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)_,
neither will I give
<05414> (8799)
thee into the hand
<03027>
of these men
<0582>
that seek
<01245> (8764)
thy life
<05315>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto Zedekiah
<06667>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
If thou wilt assuredly
<03318> (8800)
go forth
<03318> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
princes
<08269>_,
then thy soul
<05315>
shall live
<02421> (8804)_,
and this city
<05892>
shall not be burned
<08313> (8735)
with fire
<0784>_;
and thou shalt live
<02421> (8804)_,
and thine house
<01004>_:
But if thou wilt not go forth
<03318> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
princes
<08269>_,
then shall this city
<05892>
be given
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and they shall burn
<08313> (8804)
it with fire
<0784>_,
and thou shalt not escape out
<04422> (8735)
of their hand
<03027>_.
And Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
I am afraid
<01672> (8802)
of the Jews
<03064>
that are fallen
<05307> (8804)
to the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
lest they deliver
<05414> (8799)
me into their hand
<03027>_,
and they mock
<05953> (8694)
me.
But Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They shall not deliver
<05414> (8799)
[thee]. Obey
<08085> (8798)_,
I beseech thee, the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which I speak
<01696> (8802)
unto thee: so it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
unto thee, and thy soul
<05315>
shall live
<02421> (8799)_.
But if thou refuse
<03986>
to go forth
<03318> (8800)_,
this [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath shewed
<07200> (8689)
me:
And, behold, all the women
<0802>
that are left
<07604> (8738)
in the king
<04428>
of Judah's
<03063>
house
<01004>
[shall be] brought forth
<03318> (8716)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
princes
<08269>_,
and those [women] shall say
<0559> (8802)_,
Thy friends
<0582> <07965>
have set thee on
<05496> (8689)_,
and have prevailed
<03201> (8804)
against thee: thy feet
<07272>
are sunk
<02883> (8717)
in the mire
<01206>_,
[and] they are turned away
<05472> (8738)
back
<0268>_.
{Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}
So they shall bring out
<03318> (8688)
all thy wives
<0802>
and thy children
<01121>
to the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
and thou shalt not escape out
<04422> (8735)
of their hand
<03027>_,
but shalt be taken
<08610> (8735)
by the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
and thou shalt cause this city
<05892>
to be burned
<08313> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_.
{thou shalt cause...: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Zedekiah
<06667>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
Let no man
<0376>
know
<03045> (8799)
of these words
<01697>_,
and thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.
But if the princes
<08269>
hear
<08085> (8799)
that I have talked
<01696> (8765)
with thee, and they come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee, and say
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, Declare
<05046> (8685)
unto us now what thou hast said
<01696> (8765)
unto the king
<04428>_,
hide
<03582> (8762)
it not from us, and we will not put thee to death
<04191> (8686)_;
also what the king
<04428>
said
<01696> (8765)
unto thee:
Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, I presented
<05307> (8688)
my supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_,
that he would not cause me to return
<07725> (8687)
to Jonathan's
<03083>
house
<01004>_,
to die
<04191> (8800)
there.
Then came
<0935> (8799)
all the princes
<08269>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and asked
<07592> (8799)
him: and he told
<05046> (8686)
them according to all these words
<01697>
that the king
<04428>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)_.
So they left off speaking
<02790> (8686)
with him; for the matter
<01697>
was not perceived
<08085> (8738)_.
{they...: Heb. they were silent from him}
So Jeremiah
<03414>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>
until the day
<03117>
that Jerusalem
<03389>
was taken
<03920> (8738)_:
and he was [there] when Jerusalem
<03389>
was taken
<03920> (8738)_.
In the ninth
<08671>
year
<08141>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
and all his army
<02428>
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and they besieged
<06696> (8799)
it.
[And] in the eleventh
<06249> <06240>
year
<08141>
of Zedekiah
<06667>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
month
<02320>_,
the ninth
<08672>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the city
<05892>
was broken up
<01234> (8717)_.
And all the princes
<08269>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came in
<0935> (8799)_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
in the middle
<08432>
gate
<08179>_,
[even] Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Samgarnebo
<05562>_,
Sarsechim
<08310>_,
Rabsaris
<07249>_,
Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Rabmag
<07248>_,
with all the residue
<07611>
of the princes
<08269>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
saw
<07200> (8804)
them, and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
then they fled
<01272> (8799)_,
and went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the city
<05892>
by night
<03915>_,
by the way
<01870>
of the king's
<04428>
garden
<01588>_,
by the gate
<08179>
betwixt the two walls
<02346>_:
and he went out
<03318> (8799)
the way
<01870>
of the plain
<06160>_.
But the Chaldeans
<03778>_'
army
<02428>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
them, and overtook
<05381> (8686)
Zedekiah
<06667>
in the plains
<06160>
of Jericho
<03405>_:
and when they had taken
<03947> (8799)
him, they brought him up
<05927> (8686)
to Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>
in the land
<0776>
of Hamath
<02574>_,
where he gave
<01696> (8762)
judgment
<04941>
upon him. {gave...: Heb. spake with him judgments}
Then the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
slew
<07819> (8799)
the sons
<01121>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
in Riblah
<07247>
before his eyes
<05869>_:
also the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
slew
<07819> (8804)
all the nobles
<02715>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Moreover he put out
<05786> (8765)
Zedekiah's
<06667>
eyes
<05869>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him with chains
<05178>_,
to carry
<0935> (8687)
him to Babylon
<0894>_.
{with...: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}
And the Chaldeans
<03778>
burned
<08313> (8804)
the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and the houses
<01004>
of the people
<05971>_,
with fire
<0784>_,
and brake down
<05422> (8804)
the walls
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Then Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
carried away captive
<01540> (8689)
into Babylon
<0894>
the remnant
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)
in the city
<05892>_,
and those that fell away
<05307> (8802)_,
that fell
<05307> (8804)
to him, with the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)_.
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
But Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
left
<07604> (8689)
of the poor
<01800>
of the people
<05971>_,
which had nothing
<03972>_,
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them vineyards
<03754>
and fields
<03010>
at the same time
<03117>_.
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {at the...: Heb. in that day}
Now Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
gave charge
<06680> (8762)
concerning Jeremiah
<03414>
to
<03027>
Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{to: Heb. by the hand of} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
Take
<03947> (8798)
him, and look well
<05869> <07760> (8798)
to him, and do
<06213> (8799)
him no harm
<03972> <07451>_;
but do
<06213> (8798)
unto him even as he shall say
<01696> (8762)
unto thee. {look...: Heb. set thine eyes upon him}
So Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and Nebushasban
<05021>_,
Rabsaris
<07249>_,
and Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,
Rabmag
<07248>_,
and all the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
princes
<07227>_;
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
Even they sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
out of the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
and committed
<05414> (8799)
him unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
that he should carry
<03318> (8687)
him home
<01004>_:
so he dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_.
Now the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
while he was shut up
<06113> (8803)
in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<01980> (8800)
and speak
<0559> (8804)
to Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
my words
<01697>
upon this city
<05892>
for evil
<07451>_,
and not for good
<02896>_;
and they shall be [accomplished] in that day
<03117>
before
<06440>
thee.
But I will deliver
<05337> (8689)
thee in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
and thou shalt not be given
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the men
<0582>
of whom
<06440>
thou [art] afraid
<03016> (8801)_.
For I will surely
<04422> (8763)
deliver
<04422> (8762)
thee, and thou shalt not fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
but thy life
<05315>
shall be for a prey
<07998>
unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust
<0982> (8804)
in me, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
after
<0310>
that Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had let him go
<07971> (8763)
from Ramah
<07414>_,
when he had taken
<03947> (8800)
him being bound
<0631> (8803)
in chains
<0246>
among
<08432>
all that were carried away captive
<01546>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
which were carried away captive
<01540> (8716)
unto Babylon
<0894>_.
{chains: or, manicles}
And the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)
this evil
<07451>
upon this place
<04725>_.
Now the LORD
<03068>
hath brought
<0935> (8686)
[it], and done
<06213> (8799)
according as he hath said
<01696> (8765)_:
because ye have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
his voice
<06963>_,
therefore this thing
<01697>
is come upon you.
And now, behold, I loose
<06605> (8765)
thee this day
<03117>
from the chains
<0246>
which [were] upon thine hand
<03027>_.
If it seem good
<02896> <05869>
unto thee to come
<0935> (8800)
with me into Babylon
<0894>_,
come
<0935> (8798)_;
and I will look well
<07760> (8799) <05869>
unto thee: but if it seem ill
<07489> (8804) <05869>
unto thee to come
<0935> (8800)
with me into Babylon
<0894>_,
forbear
<02308> (8798)_:
behold
<07200> (8798)_,
all the land
<0776>
[is] before
<06440>
thee: whither it seemeth
<0413>
good
<02896>
and convenient
<03477> <05869>
for thee to go
<03212> (8800)_,
thither go
<03212> (8798)_.
{were...: or, are upon thine hand} {I will...: Heb. I will set mine eye upon thee}
Now while he was not yet gone back
<07725> (8799)_,
[he said], Go back
<07725> (8798)
also to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath made governor
<06485> (8689)
over the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
with him among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_:
or go
<03212> (8798)
wheresoever it seemeth convenient
<03477> <05869>
unto thee to go
<03212> (8800)_.
So the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
gave
<05414> (8799)
him victuals
<0737>
and a reward
<04864>_,
and let him go
<07971> (8762)_.
Then went
<0935> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
to Mizpah
<04708>_;
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
with him among
<08432>
the people
<05971>
that were left
<07604> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_.
Now when all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
which [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
[even] they and their men
<0582>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had made Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
governor
<06485> (8689)
in the land
<0776>_,
and had committed
<06485> (8689)
unto him men
<0582>_,
and women
<0802>_,
and children
<02945>_,
and of the poor
<01803>
of the land
<0776>_,
of them that were not carried away captive
<01540> (8717)
to Babylon
<0894>_;
Then they came
<0935> (8799)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
to Mizpah
<04708>_,
even Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
and Jonathan
<03129>
the sons
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Tanhumeth
<08576>_,
and the sons
<01121>
of Ephai
<05778>
the Netophathite
<05200>_,
and Jezaniah
<03153>
the son
<01121>
of a Maachathite
<04602>_,
they and their men
<0582>_.
And Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
sware
<07650> (8735)
unto them and to their men
<0582>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not to serve
<05647> (8800)
the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
dwell in
<03427> (8798)
the land
<0776>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
with you.
As for me, behold, I will dwell
<03427> (8802)
at Mizpah
<04709>
to serve
<05975> (8800) <06440>
the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
which will come
<0935> (8799)
unto us: but ye, gather
<0622> (8798)
ye wine
<03196>_,
and summer fruits
<07019>_,
and oil
<08081>_,
and put
<07760> (8798)
[them] in your vessels
<03627>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
in your cities
<05892>
that ye have taken
<08610> (8804)_.
{to serve: Heb. to stand before}
Likewise when all the Jews
<03064>
that [were] in Moab
<04124>_,
and among the Ammonites
<05983>_,
and in Edom
<0123>_,
and that [were] in all the countries
<0776>_,
heard
<08085> (8804)
that the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had left
<05414> (8804)
a remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and that he had set
<06485> (8689)
over them Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_;
Even all the Jews
<03064>
returned out
<07725> (8799)
of all places
<04725>
whither they were driven
<05080> (8738)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to Gedaliah
<01436>_,
unto Mizpah
<04708>_,
and gathered
<0622> (8799)
wine
<03196>
and summer fruits
<07019>
very
<03966>
much
<07235> (8687)_.
Moreover Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
to Mizpah
<04708>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Dost thou certainly
<03045> (8800)
know
<03045> (8799)
that Baalis
<01185>
the king
<04428>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
to slay
<05221> (8687) <05315>
thee? But Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
believed
<0539> (8689)
them not. {to slay...: Heb. to strike thee in soul?}
Then Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>
spake
<0559> (8804)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
in Mizpah
<04709>
secretly
<05643>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let me go
<03212> (8799)_,
I pray thee, and I will slay
<05221> (8686)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and no man
<0376>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
[it]: wherefore should he slay
<05221> (8686) <05315>
thee, that all the Jews
<03064>
which are gathered
<06908> (8737)
unto thee should be scattered
<06327> (8738)_,
and the remnant
<07611>
in Judah
<03063>
perish
<06> (8804)_?
But Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
Thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>_:
for thou speakest
<01696> (8802)
falsely
<08267>
of Ishmael
<03458>_.
Now it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_,
[that] Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
the son
<01121>
of Elishama
<0476>_,
of the seed
<02233>
royal
<04410>_,
and the princes
<07227>
of the king
<04428>_,
even ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
with him, came
<0935> (8804)
unto Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
to Mizpah
<04709>_;
and there they did eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>
together
<03162>
in Mizpah
<04708>_.
Then arose
<06965> (8799)
Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and the ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
that were with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>
with the sword
<02719>_,
and slew
<04191> (8686)
him, whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had made governor
<06485> (8689)
over the land
<0776>_.
Ishmael
<03458>
also slew
<05221> (8689)
all the Jews
<03064>
that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah
<01436>_,
at Mizpah
<04709>_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>
that were found
<04672> (8738)
there, [and] the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_.
And it came to pass the second
<08145>
day
<03117>
after he had slain
<04191> (8687)
Gedaliah
<01436>_,
and no man
<0376>
knew
<03045> (8804)
[it],
That there came
<0935> (8799)
certain
<0582>
from Shechem
<07927>_,
from Shiloh
<07887>_,
and from Samaria
<08111>_,
[even] fourscore
<08084>
men
<0376>_,
having their beards
<02206>
shaven
<01548> (8794)_,
and their clothes
<0899>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and having cut
<01413> (8706)
themselves, with offerings
<04503>
and incense
<03828>
in their hand
<03027>_,
to bring
<0935> (8687)
[them] to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
from Mizpah
<04709>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them, weeping
<01058> (8802)
all along
<01980> (8800)
as he went
<01980> (8802)_:
and it came to pass, as he met
<06298> (8800)
them, he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Come
<0935> (8798)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_.
{weeping...: Heb. in going and weeping}
And it was [so], when they came
<0935> (8800)
into the midst
<08432>
of the city
<05892>_,
that Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
slew
<07819> (8799)
them, [and cast them] into the midst
<08432>
of the pit
<0953>_,
he, and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him.
But ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
were found
<04672> (8738)
among them that said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ishmael
<03458>_,
Slay
<04191> (8686)
us not: for we have
<03426>
treasures
<04301>
in the field
<07704>_,
of wheat
<02406>_,
and of barley
<08184>_,
and of oil
<08081>_,
and of honey
<01706>_.
So he forbare
<02308> (8799)_,
and slew
<04191> (8689)
them not among
<08432>
their brethren
<0251>_.
Now the pit
<0953>
wherein Ishmael
<03458>
had cast
<07993> (8689)
all the dead bodies
<06297>
of the men
<0582>_,
whom he had slain
<05221> (8689)
because
<03027>
of Gedaliah
<01436>_,
[was] it which Asa
<0609>
the king
<04428>
had made
<06213> (8804)
for fear
<06440>
of Baasha
<01201>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_:
[and] Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
filled
<04390> (8765)
it with [them that were] slain
<02491>_.
{because...: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}
Then Ishmael
<03458>
carried away captive
<07617> (8799)
all the residue
<07611>
of the people
<05971>
that [were] in Mizpah
<04709>_,
[even] the king's
<04428>
daughters
<01323>_,
and all the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)
in Mizpah
<04709>_,
whom Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had committed
<06485> (8689)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_:
and Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
carried them away captive
<07617> (8799)_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)
to go over
<05674> (8800)
to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.
But when Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, heard
<08085> (8799)
of all the evil
<07451>
that Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
had done
<06213> (8804)_,
Then they took
<03947> (8799)
all the men
<0582>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
him by the great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
that [are] in Gibeon
<01391>_.
Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people
<05971>
which [were] with Ishmael
<03458>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, then they were glad
<08055> (8799)_.
So all the people
<05971>
that Ishmael
<03458>
had carried away captive
<07617> (8804)
from Mizpah
<04709>
cast about
<05437> (8799)
and returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
unto Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_.
But Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
escaped
<04422> (8738)
from
<06440>
Johanan
<03110>
with eight
<08083>
men
<0582>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_.
Then took
<03947> (8799)
Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
that [were] with him, all the remnant
<07611>
of the people
<05971>
whom he had recovered
<07725> (8689)
from Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
from Mizpah
<04709>_,
after
<0310>
[that] he had slain
<05221> (8689)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_,
[even] mighty
<01397>
men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and the women
<0802>_,
and the children
<02945>_,
and the eunuchs
<05631>_,
whom he had brought again
<07725> (8689)
from Gibeon
<01391>_:
And they departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and dwelt in
<03427> (8799)
the habitation
<01628>
of Chimham
<03643>_,
which is by
<0681>
Bethlehem
<01035>_,
to go
<03212> (8800)
to enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
Because
<06440>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
for they were afraid
<03372> (8804)
of them, because Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>
had slain
<05221> (8689)
Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_,
whom the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
made governor
<06485> (8689)
in the land
<0776>_.
Then all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and Jezaniah
<03153>
the son
<01121>
of Hoshaiah
<01955>_,
and all the people
<05971>
from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>_,
came near
<05066> (8799)_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
Let, we beseech thee, our supplication
<08467>
be accepted
<05307> (8799)
before
<06440>
thee, and pray
<06419> (8690)
for us unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
[even] for all this remnant
<07611>_;
(for we are left
<07604> (8738)
[but] a few
<04592>
of many
<07235> (8687)_,
as thine eyes
<05869>
do behold
<07200> (8802)
us:) {Let...: or, Let our supplication fall before thee}
That the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
may shew
<05046> (8686)
us the way
<01870>
wherein we may walk
<03212> (8799)_,
and the thing
<01697>
that we may do
<06213> (8799)_.
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
[you]; behold, I will pray
<06419> (8693)
unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
according to your words
<01697>_;
and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing
<01697>
the LORD
<03068>
shall answer
<06030> (8799)
you, I will declare
<05046> (8686)
[it] unto you; I will keep
<04513> (0)
nothing
<01697>
back
<04513> (8799)
from you.
Then they said
<0559> (8804)
to Jeremiah
<03414>_,
The LORD
<03068>
be a true
<0571>
and faithful
<0539> (8737)
witness
<05707>
between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)
not even according to all things
<01697>
for the which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall send
<07971> (8799)
thee to us.
Whether [it be] good
<02896>_,
or whether [it be] evil
<07451>_,
we will obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
to whom we
<0580>
send
<07971> (8802)
thee; that it may be well
<03190> (8799)
with us, when we obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
And it came to pass after
<07093>
ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_,
that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_.
Then called
<07121> (8799)
he Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>
which [were] with him, and all the people
<05971>
from the least
<06996>
even to the greatest
<01419>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto whom ye sent
<07971> (8804)
me to present
<05307> (8687)
your supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
him;
If ye will still
<07725> (8800)
abide
<03427> (8799)
in this land
<0776>_,
then will I build
<01129> (8804)
you, and not pull [you] down
<02040> (8799)_,
and I will plant
<05193> (8804)
you, and not pluck [you] up
<05428> (8799)_:
for I repent
<05162> (8738)
me of the evil
<07451>
that I have done
<06213> (8804)
unto you.
Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
of whom
<06440>
ye are afraid
<03373>_;
be not afraid
<03372> (8799)
of him, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I [am] with you to save
<03467> (8687)
you, and to deliver
<05337> (8687)
you from his hand
<03027>_.
And I will shew
<05414> (8799)
mercies
<07356>
unto you, that he may have mercy
<07355> (8765)
upon you, and cause you to return
<07725> (8689)
to your own land
<0127>_.
But if ye say
<0559> (8802)_,
We will not dwell
<03427> (8799)
in this land
<0776>_,
neither obey
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
Saying
<0559> (8800)_,
No; but we will go
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
where we shall see
<07200> (8799)
no war
<04421>_,
nor hear
<08085> (8799)
the sound
<06963>
of the trumpet
<07782>_,
nor have hunger
<07456> (8799)
of bread
<03899>_;
and there will we dwell
<03427> (8799)_:
And now therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_;
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
If ye wholly
<07760> (8800)
set
<07760> (8799)
your faces
<06440>
to enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and go
<0935> (8804)
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there;
Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword
<02719>_,
which ye feared
<03373>_,
shall overtake
<05381> (8686)
you there in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and the famine
<07458>_,
whereof ye were afraid
<01672> (8802)_,
shall follow close
<01692> (8799)
after
<0310>
you there in Egypt
<04714>_;
and there ye shall die
<04191> (8799)_.
{shall follow...: Heb. shall cleave after you}
So shall it be with all the men
<0582>
that set
<07760> (8804)
their faces
<06440>
to go
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there; they shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
and none of them shall remain
<08300>
or escape
<06412>
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon them. {So...: Heb. So shall all the men be}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
As mine anger
<0639>
and my fury
<02534>
hath been poured forth
<05413> (8738)
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
so shall my fury
<02534>
be poured forth
<05413> (8799)
upon you, when ye shall enter
<0935> (8800)
into Egypt
<04714>_:
and ye shall be an execration
<0423>_,
and an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
and a reproach
<02781>_;
and ye shall see
<07200> (8799)
this place
<04725>
no more.
The LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
concerning you, O ye remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_;
Go
<0935> (8799)
ye not into Egypt
<04714>_:
know
<03045> (8799)
certainly
<03045> (8800)
that I have admonished
<05749> (8689)
you this day
<03117>_.
{admonished...: Heb. testified against you}
For ye dissembled
<08582> (8689)
in your hearts
<05315>_,
when ye sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Pray
<06419> (8690)
for us unto the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_;
and according unto all that the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
so declare
<05046> (8685)
unto us, and we will do
<06213> (8804)
[it]. {ye dissembled...: or, ye have used deceit against your souls}
And [now] I have this day
<03117>
declared
<05046> (8686)
[it] to you; but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_,
nor any [thing] for the which he hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me unto you.
Now therefore know
<03045> (8799)
certainly
<03045> (8800)
that ye shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_,
in the place
<04725>
whither ye desire
<02654> (8804)
to go
<0935> (8800)
[and] to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.
{to go...: or, to go to sojourn}
And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah
<03414>
had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)
unto all the people
<05971>
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
for which the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>
had sent
<07971> (8804)
him to them, [even] all these words
<01697>_,
Then spake
<0559> (8799)
Azariah
<05838>
the son
<01121>
of Hoshaiah
<01955>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the proud
<02086>
men
<0582>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)
unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,
Thou speakest
<01696> (8764)
falsely
<08267>_:
the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
hath not sent
<07971> (8804)
thee to say
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<0935> (8799)
not into Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there:
But Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>
setteth thee on
<05496> (8688)
against us, for to
<04616>
deliver
<05414> (8800)
us into the hand
<03027>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
that they might put us to death
<04191> (8687)_,
and carry us away captives
<01540> (8687)
into Babylon
<0894>_.
So Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_.
But Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Kareah
<07143>_,
and all the captains
<08269>
of the forces
<02428>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
all the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that were returned
<07725> (8804)
from all nations
<01471>_,
whither they had been driven
<05080> (8738)_,
to dwell
<01481> (8800)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_;
[Even] men
<01397>_,
and women
<0802>_,
and children
<02945>_,
and the king's
<04428>
daughters
<01323>_,
and every person
<05315>
that Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
had left
<03240> (8689)
with Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
and Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_.
So they came
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for they obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
thus came
<0935> (8799)
they [even] to Tahpanhes
<08471>_.
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Jeremiah
<03414>
in Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
great
<01419>
stones
<068>
in thine hand
<03027>_,
and hide
<02934> (8804)
them in the clay
<04423>
in the brickkiln
<04404>_,
which [is] at the entry
<06607>
of Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>
in Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
in the sight
<05869>
of the men
<0582>
of Judah
<03064>_;
And say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will send
<07971> (8802)
and take
<03947> (8804)
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
my servant
<05650>_,
and will set
<07760> (8804)
his throne
<03678>
upon
<04605>
these stones
<068>
that I have hid
<02934> (8804)_;
and he shall spread
<05186> (8804)
his royal pavilion
<08237>
over them.
And when he cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
he shall smite
<05221> (8689)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
[and deliver] such [as are] for death
<04194>
to death
<04194>_;
and such [as are] for captivity
<07628>
to captivity
<07628>_;
and such [as are] for the sword
<02719>
to the sword
<02719>_.
And I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the houses
<01004>
of the gods
<0430>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and he shall burn
<08313> (8804)
them, and carry them away captives
<07617> (8804)_:
and he shall array
<05844> (8804)
himself with the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as a shepherd
<07462> (8802)
putteth on
<05844> (8799)
his garment
<0899>_;
and he shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
from thence in peace
<07965>_.
He shall break
<07665> (8765)
also the images
<04676>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
that [is] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
and the houses
<01004>
of the gods
<0430>
of the Egyptians
<04714>
shall he burn
<08313> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_.
{images: Heb. statues, or, standing images} {Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun}
The word
<01697>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
concerning all the Jews
<03064>
which dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which dwell
<03427> (8802)
at Migdol
<04024>_,
and at Tahpanhes
<08471>_,
and at Noph
<05297>_,
and in the country
<0776>
of Pathros
<06624>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
all the evil
<07451>
that I have brought
<0935> (8689)
upon Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and upon all the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_;
and, behold, this day
<03117>
they [are] a desolation
<02723>_,
and no man dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
therein,
Because
<06440>
of their wickedness
<07451>
which they have committed
<06213> (8804)
to provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)_,
in that they went
<03212> (8800)
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)_,
[and] to serve
<05647> (8800)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
whom they knew
<03045> (8804)
not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers
<01>_.
Howbeit I sent
<07971> (8799)
unto you all my servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
rising early
<07925> (8687)
and sending
<07971> (8800)
[them], saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Oh, do
<06213> (8799)
not this abominable
<08441>
thing
<01697>
that I hate
<08130> (8804)_.
But they hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not, nor inclined
<05186> (8689)
their ear
<0241>
to turn
<07725> (8800)
from their wickedness
<07451>_,
to burn no incense
<06999> (8763)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_.
Wherefore my fury
<02534>
and mine anger
<0639>
was poured forth
<05413> (8799)_,
and was kindled
<01197> (8799)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and they are wasted
<02723>
[and] desolate
<08077>_,
as at this day
<03117>_.
Therefore now thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Wherefore commit
<06213> (8802)
ye [this] great
<01419>
evil
<07451>
against your souls
<05315>_,
to cut off
<03772> (8687)
from you man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_,
child
<05768>
and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,
out
<08432>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to leave
<03498> (8687)
you none to remain
<07611>_;
{out...: Heb. out of the midst of Judah}
In that ye provoke me unto wrath
<03707> (8687)
with the works
<04639>
of your hands
<03027>_,
burning incense
<06999> (8763)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
whither ye be gone
<0935> (8802)
to dwell
<01481> (8800)_,
that ye might cut yourselves off
<03772> (8687)_,
and that ye might be a curse
<07045>
and a reproach
<02781>
among all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>_?
Have ye forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the wickedness
<07451>
of your fathers
<01>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of their wives
<0802>_,
and your own wickedness
<07451>_,
and the wickedness
<07451>
of your wives
<0802>_,
which they have committed
<06213> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_?
{wickedness...: Heb. wickednesses, or, punishments, etc}
They are not humbled
<01792> (8795)
[even] unto this day
<03117>_,
neither have they feared
<03372> (8804)_,
nor walked
<01980> (8804)
in my law
<08451>_,
nor in my statutes
<02708>_,
that I set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
you and before
<06440>
your fathers
<01>_.
{humbled: Heb. contrite}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will set
<07760> (8802)
my face
<06440>
against you for evil
<07451>_,
and to cut off
<03772> (8687)
all Judah
<03063>_.
And I will take
<03947> (8804)
the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that have set
<07760> (8804)
their faces
<06440>
to go
<0935> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, and they shall all be consumed
<08552> (8804)_,
[and] fall
<05307> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
they shall [even] be consumed
<08552> (8735)
by the sword
<02719>
[and] by the famine
<07458>_:
they shall die
<04191> (8799)_,
from the least
<06996>
even unto the greatest
<01419>_,
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_:
and they shall be an execration
<0423>_,
[and] an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
and a reproach
<02781>_.
For I will punish
<06485> (8804)
them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
as I have punished
<06485> (8804)
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
So that none of the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which are gone
<0935> (8802)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, shall escape
<06412>
or remain
<08300>_,
that they should return
<07725> (8800)
into the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
to the which they have
<05375> (8764)
a desire
<05315>
to return
<07725> (8800)
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
there: for none shall return
<07725> (8799)
but such as shall escape
<06405>_.
{have...: Heb. lift up their soul}
Then all the men
<0582>
which knew
<03045> (8802)
that their wives
<0802>
had burned incense
<06999> (8764)
unto other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and all the women
<0802>
that stood by
<05975> (8802)_,
a great
<01419>
multitude
<06951>_,
even all the people
<05971>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
in Pathros
<06624>_,
answered
<06030> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[As for] the word
<01697>
that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto us in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
we will not hearken
<08085> (8802)
unto thee.
But we will certainly
<06213> (8800)
do
<06213> (8799)
whatsoever thing
<01697>
goeth forth
<03318> (8804)
out of our own mouth
<06310>_,
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
unto the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, as we have done
<06213> (8804)_,
we, and our fathers
<01>_,
our kings
<04428>_,
and our princes
<08269>_,
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for [then] had we plenty
<07646> (8799)
of victuals
<03899>_,
and were well
<02896>_,
and saw
<07200> (8804)
no evil
<07451>_.
{queen...: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
But since we left off
<02308> (8804)
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, we have wanted
<02637> (8804)
all [things], and have been consumed
<08552> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_.
And when we burned incense
<06999> (8764)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and poured out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, did we make
<06213> (8804)
her cakes
<03561>
to worship
<06087> (8687)
her, and pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her, without
<01107>
our men
<0582>_?
{men: or, husbands?}
Then Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
to the men
<01397>_,
and to the women
<0802>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
which had given him [that] answer
<01697> <06030> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The incense
<07002>
that ye burned
<06999> (8765)
in the cities
<05892>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and in the streets
<02351>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
ye, and your fathers
<01>_,
your kings
<04428>_,
and your princes
<08269>_,
and the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
did not the LORD
<03068>
remember
<02142> (8804)
them, and came
<05927> (8799)
it [not] into his mind
<03820>_?
So that the LORD
<03068>
could
<03201> (8799)
no longer bear
<05375> (8800)_,
because
<06440>
of the evil
<07455>
of your doings
<04611>_,
[and] because
<06440>
of the abominations
<08441>
which ye have committed
<06213> (8804)_;
therefore is your land
<0776>
a desolation
<02723>_,
and an astonishment
<08047>_,
and a curse
<07045>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_,
as at this day
<03117>_.
Because
<06440> <0834>
ye have burned incense
<06999> (8765)_,
and because ye have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
and have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
nor walked
<01980> (8804)
in his law
<08451>_,
nor in his statutes
<02708>_,
nor in his testimonies
<05715>_;
therefore this evil
<07451>
is happened
<07122> (8804)
unto you, as at this day
<03117>_.
Moreover Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
and to all the women
<0802>_,
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
all Judah
<03063>
that [are] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_;
Ye and your wives
<0802>
have both spoken
<01696> (8762)
with your mouths
<06310>_,
and fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
with your hand
<03027>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will surely
<06213> (8800)
perform
<06213> (8799)
our vows
<05088>
that we have vowed
<05087> (8804)_,
to burn incense
<06999> (8763)
to the queen
<04446>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and to pour out
<05258> (8687)
drink offerings
<05262>
unto her: ye will surely
<06965> (8687)
accomplish
<06965> (8686)
your vows
<05088>_,
and surely
<06213> (8800)
perform
<06213> (8799)
your vows
<05088>_.
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
all Judah
<03063>
that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_;
Behold, I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by my great
<01419>
name
<08034>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that my name
<08034>
shall no more be named
<07121> (8737)
in the mouth
<06310>
of any man
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
in all the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
saying
<0559> (8802)_,
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
liveth
<02416>_.
Behold, I will watch
<08245> (8802)
over them for evil
<07451>_,
and not for good
<02896>_:
and all the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
that [are] in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be consumed
<08552> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>
and by the famine
<07458>_,
until there be an end
<03615> (8800)
of them.
Yet a small
<04962>
number
<04557>
that escape
<06412>
the sword
<02719>
shall return out
<07725> (8799)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
into the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and all the remnant
<07611>
of Judah
<03063>_,
that are gone
<0935> (8802)
into the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
there, shall know
<03045> (8804)
whose words
<01697>
shall stand
<06965> (8799)_,
mine, or theirs. {mine...: Heb. from me, or, from them}
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto you, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will punish
<06485> (8802)
you in this place
<04725>_,
that ye may know
<03045> (8799)
that my words
<01697>
shall surely
<06965> (8800)
stand
<06965> (8799)
against you for evil
<07451>_:
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will give
<05414> (8802)
Pharaohhophra
<06548>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
into the hand
<03027>
of his enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of them that seek
<01245> (8764)
his life
<05315>_;
as I gave
<05414> (8804)
Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and that sought
<01245> (8764)
his life
<05315>_.
The word
<01697>
that Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
spake
<01696> (8765)
unto Baruch
<01263>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
when he had written
<03789> (8800)
these words
<01697>
in a book
<05612>
at the mouth
<06310>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_,
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
unto thee, O Baruch
<01263>_;
Thou didst say
<0559> (8804)_,
Woe
<0188>
is me now! for the LORD
<03068>
hath added
<03254> (8804)
grief
<03015>
to my sorrow
<04341>_;
I fainted
<03021> (8804)
in my sighing
<0585>_,
and I find
<04672> (8804)
no rest
<04496>_.
Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
saith
<0559> (8804)
thus; Behold, [that] which I have built
<01129> (8804)
will I break down
<02040> (8802)_,
and that which I have planted
<05193> (8804)
I will pluck up
<05428> (8802)_,
even this whole land
<0776>_.
And seekest
<01245> (8762)
thou great things
<01419>
for thyself? seek
<01245> (8762)
[them] not: for, behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
evil
<07451>
upon all flesh
<01320>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
but thy life
<05315>
will I give
<05414> (8804)
unto thee for a prey
<07998>
in all places
<04725>
whither thou goest
<03212> (8799)_.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against the Gentiles
<01471>_;
Against Egypt
<04714>_,
against the army
<02428>
of Pharaohnecho
<06549>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which was by the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>
in Carchemish
<03751>_,
which Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
smote
<05221> (8689)
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Order
<06186> (8798)
ye the buckler
<04043>
and shield
<06793>_,
and draw near
<05066> (8798)
to battle
<04421>_.
Harness
<0631> (8798)
the horses
<05483>_;
and get up
<05927> (8798)_,
ye horsemen
<06571>_,
and stand forth
<03320> (8690)
with [your] helmets
<03553>_;
furbish
<04838> (8798)
the spears
<07420>_,
[and] put on
<03847> (8798)
the brigandines
<05630>_.
Wherefore have I seen
<07200> (8804)
them dismayed
<02844>
[and] turned
<05472> (8737)
away back
<0268>_?
and their mighty ones
<01368>
are beaten down
<03807> (8714)_,
and are fled
<05127> (8804)
apace
<04498>_,
and look not back
<06437> (8689)_:
[for] fear
<04032>
[was] round about
<05439>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{beaten...: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled...: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swift
<07031>
flee away
<05127> (8799)_,
nor the mighty man
<01368>
escape
<04422> (8735)_;
they shall stumble
<03782> (8804)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)
toward the north
<06828>
by
<03027>
the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_.
Who [is] this [that] cometh up
<05927> (8799)
as a flood
<02975>_,
whose waters
<04325>
are moved
<01607> (8691)
as the rivers
<05104>_?
Egypt
<04714>
riseth up
<05927> (8799)
like a flood
<02975>_,
and [his] waters
<04325>
are moved
<01607> (8704)
like the rivers
<05104>_;
and he saith
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go up
<05927> (8799)_,
[and] will cover
<03680> (8762)
the earth
<0776>_;
I will destroy
<06> (8686)
the city
<05892>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof.
Come up
<05927> (8798)_,
ye horses
<05483>_;
and rage
<01984> (8703)_,
ye chariots
<07393>_;
and let the mighty men
<01368>
come forth
<03318> (8799)_;
the Ethiopians
<03568>
and the Libyans
<06316>_,
that handle
<08610> (8802)
the shield
<04043>_;
and the Lydians
<03866>_,
that handle
<08610> (8802)
[and] bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_.
{the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this [is] the day
<03117>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
a day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05360>_,
that he may avenge
<05358> (8736)
him of his adversaries
<06862>_:
and the sword
<02719>
shall devour
<0398> (8804)_,
and it shall be satiate
<07646> (8804)
and made drunk
<07301> (8804)
with their blood
<01818>_:
for the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
hath a sacrifice
<02077>
in the north
<06828>
country
<0776>
by the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)
into Gilead
<01568>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
balm
<06875>_,
O virgin
<01330>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
in vain
<07723>
shalt thou use many
<07235> (8689)
medicines
<07499>_;
[for] thou shalt not be cured
<08585>_.
{thou shalt...: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nations
<01471>
have heard
<08085> (8804)
of thy shame
<07036>_,
and thy cry
<06682>
hath filled
<04390> (8804)
the land
<0776>_:
for the mighty man
<01368>
hath stumbled
<03782> (8804)
against the mighty
<01368>_,
[and] they are fallen
<05307> (8804)
both
<08147>
together
<03162>_.
The word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
how Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
should come
<0935> (8800)
[and] smite
<05221> (8687)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye in Egypt
<04714>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
in Migdol
<04024>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
in Noph
<05297>
and in Tahpanhes
<08471>_:
say
<0559> (8798)
ye, Stand fast
<03320> (8690)_,
and prepare
<03559> (8685)
thee; for the sword
<02719>
shall devour
<0398> (8804)
round about
<05439>
thee.
Why are thy valiant
<047>
[men] swept away
<05502> (8738)_?
they stood
<05975> (8804)
not, because the LORD
<03068>
did drive
<01920> (8804)
them.
He made many
<07235> (8689)
to fall
<03782> (8802)_,
yea, one
<0376>
fell
<05307> (8804)
upon another
<07453>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us go again
<07725> (8799)
to our own people
<05971>_,
and to the land
<0776>
of our nativity
<04138>_,
from
<06440>
the oppressing
<03238> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
{made...: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cry
<07121> (8804)
there, Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
[is but] a noise
<07588>_;
he hath passed
<05674> (8689)
the time appointed
<04150>_.
[As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Surely as Tabor
<08396>
[is] among the mountains
<02022>_,
and as Carmel
<03760>
by the sea
<03220>_,
[so] shall he come
<0935> (8799)_.
O thou daughter
<01323>
dwelling
<03427> (8802)
in Egypt
<04714>_,
furnish
<06213> (8798)
thyself to go into captivity
<03627> <01473>_:
for Noph
<05297>
shall be waste
<08047>
and desolate
<03341> (8738)
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{furnish...: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
Egypt
<04714>
[is like] a very fair
<03304>
heifer
<05697>_,
[but] destruction
<07171>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_;
it cometh out
<0935> (8804)
of the north
<06828>_.
Also her hired men
<07916>
[are] in the midst
<07130>
of her like fatted
<04770>
bullocks
<05695>_;
for they also are turned back
<06437> (8689)_,
[and] are fled away
<05127> (8804)
together
<03162>_:
they did not stand
<05975> (8804)_,
because the day
<03117>
of their calamity
<0343>
was come
<0935> (8804)
upon them, [and] the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>_.
{fatted...: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voice
<06963>
thereof shall go
<03212> (8799)
like a serpent
<05175>_;
for they shall march
<03212> (8799)
with an army
<02428>_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
against her with axes
<07134>_,
as hewers
<02404> (8802)
of wood
<06086>_.
They shall cut down
<03772> (8804)
her forest
<03293>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
though it cannot be searched
<02713> (8735)_;
because they are more
<07231> (8804)
than the grasshoppers
<0697>_,
and [are] innumerable
<0369> <04557>_.
The daughter
<01323>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be confounded
<03001> (8689)_;
she shall be delivered
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of the north
<06828>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
the multitude
<0527> (8676) <0528>
of No
<04996>_,
and Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and Egypt
<04714>_,
with their gods
<0430>_,
and their kings
<04428>_;
even Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and [all] them that trust
<0982> (8802)
in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliver
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of those that seek
<01245> (8764)
their lives
<05315>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_:
and afterward
<0310>
it shall be inhabited
<07931> (8799)_,
as in the days
<03117>
of old
<06924>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
But fear
<03372> (8799)
not thou, O my servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_,
and be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,
O Israel
<03478>_:
for, behold, I will save
<03467> (8688)
thee from afar off
<07350>_,
and thy seed
<02233>
from the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and be in rest
<08252> (8804)
and at ease
<07599> (8768)_,
and none shall make [him] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
thou not, O Jacob
<03290>
my servant
<05650>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I [am] with thee; for I will make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of all the nations
<01471>
whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)
thee: but I will not make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of thee, but correct
<03256> (8765)
thee in measure
<04941>_;
yet will I not leave thee wholly
<05352> (8763)
unpunished
<05352> (8762)_.
{not leave...: or, not utterly cut thee off}
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against the Philistines
<06430>_,
before that Pharaoh
<06547>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Gaza
<05804>_.
{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, waters
<04325>
rise up
<05927> (8802)
out of the north
<06828>_,
and shall be an overflowing
<07857> (8802)
flood
<05158>_,
and shall overflow
<07857> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the city
<05892>_,
and them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: then the men
<0120>
shall cry
<02199> (8804)_,
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
shall howl
<03213> (8689)_.
{all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
At the noise
<06963>
of the stamping
<08161>
of the hoofs
<06541>
of his strong
<047>
[horses], at the rushing
<07494>
of his chariots
<07393>_,
[and at] the rumbling
<01995>
of his wheels
<01534>_,
the fathers
<01>
shall not look back
<06437> (8689)
to [their] children
<01121>
for feebleness
<07510>
of hands
<03027>_;
Because of the day
<03117>
that cometh
<0935> (8802)
to spoil
<07703> (8800)
all the Philistines
<06430>_,
[and] to cut off
<03772> (8687)
from Tyrus
<06865>
and Zidon
<06721>
every helper
<05826> (8802)
that remaineth
<08300>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
will spoil
<07703> (8802)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
the remnant
<07611>
of the country
<0339>
of Caphtor
<03731>_.
{the country: Heb. the isle}
Baldness
<07144>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon Gaza
<05804>_;
Ashkelon
<0831>
is cut off
<01820> (8738)
[with] the remnant
<07611>
of their valley
<06010>_:
how long wilt thou cut
<01413> (8704)
thyself?
O
<01945>
thou sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
how long [will it be] ere
<03808>
thou be quiet
<08252> (8799)_?
put up
<0622> (8734)
thyself into thy scabbard
<08593>_,
rest
<07280> (8734)_,
and be still
<01826> (8798)_.
{put...: Heb. gather thyself}
How can it be quiet
<08252> (8799)_,
seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath given it a charge
<06680> (8765)
against Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and against the sea
<03220>
shore
<02348>_?
there hath he appointed
<03259> (8804)
it. {How...: Heb. How canst thou}
Against Moab
<04124>
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Woe
<01945>
unto Nebo
<05015>_!
for it is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
Kiriathaim
<07156>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
[and] taken
<03920> (8738)_:
Misgab
<04869>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
and dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{Misgab: or, the high place}
[There shall be] no more praise
<08416>
of Moab
<04124>_:
in Heshbon
<02809>
they have devised
<02803> (8804)
evil
<07451>
against it; come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us cut it off
<03772> (8686)
from [being] a nation
<01471>_.
Also thou shalt be cut down
<01826> (8735)_,
O Madmen
<04086>_;
the sword
<02719>
shall pursue
<03212> (8799)
thee
<0310>_.
{be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}
A voice
<06963>
of crying
<06818>
[shall be] from Horonaim
<02773>_,
spoiling
<07701>
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
Moab
<04124>
is destroyed
<07665> (8738)_;
her little ones
<06810>
have caused a cry
<02201>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)_.
For in the going up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
continual
<01065>
weeping
<01065>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the going down
<04174>
of Horonaim
<02773>
the enemies
<06862>
have heard
<08085> (8804)
a cry
<06818>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{continual...: Heb. weeping with weeping}
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
save
<04422> (8761)
your lives
<05315>_,
and be
<01961> (8799)
like the heath
<06176>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
{the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trusted
<0982> (8800)
in thy works
<04639>
and in thy treasures
<0214>_,
thou shalt also be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
and Chemosh
<03645>
shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>
[with] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
And the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon every city
<05892>_,
and no city
<05892>
shall escape
<04422> (8735)_:
the valley
<06010>
also shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the plain
<04334>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_.
Give
<05414> (8798)
wings
<06731>
unto Moab
<04124>_,
that it may flee
<05323> (8800)
and get away
<03318> (8799)_:
for the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be desolate
<08047>_,
without any to dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein
<02004>_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that doeth
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
of the LORD
<03068>
deceitfully
<07423>_,
and cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that keepeth back
<04513> (8802)
his sword
<02719>
from blood
<01818>_.
{deceitfully: or, negligently}
Moab
<04124>
hath been at ease
<07599> (8768)
from his youth
<05271>_,
and he hath settled
<08252> (8802)
on his lees
<08105>_,
and hath not been emptied
<07324> (8717)
from vessel
<03627>
to vessel
<03627>_,
neither hath he gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>_:
therefore his taste
<02940>
remained
<05975> (8804)
in him, and his scent
<07381>
is not changed
<04171> (8738)_.
{remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will send
<07971> (8765)
unto him wanderers
<06808> (8802)_,
that shall cause him to wander
<06808> (8765)_,
and shall empty
<07324> (8686)
his vessels
<03627>_,
and break
<05310> (8762)
their bottles
<05035>_.
And Moab
<04124>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Chemosh
<03645>_,
as the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
was ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Bethel
<01008>
their confidence
<04009>_.
How say
<0559> (8799)
ye, We [are] mighty
<01368>
and strong
<02428>
men
<0582>
for the war
<04421>_?
Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and gone up
<05927> (8804)
[out of] her cities
<05892>_,
and his chosen
<04005>
young men
<0970>
are gone down
<03381> (8804)
to the slaughter
<02874>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{his...: Heb. the choice of}
The calamity
<0343>
of Moab
<04124>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and his affliction
<07451>
hasteth
<04116> (8765)
fast
<03966>_.
All ye that are about
<05439>
him, bemoan
<05110> (8798)
him; and all ye that know
<03045> (8802)
his name
<08034>_,
say
<0559> (8798)_,
How is the strong
<05797>
staff
<04294>
broken
<07665> (8738)_,
[and] the beautiful
<08597>
rod
<04731>_!
Thou daughter
<01323>
that dost inhabit
<03427> (8802)
Dibon
<01769>_,
come down
<03381> (8798)
from [thy] glory
<03519>_,
and sit
<03427> (8798)
in thirst
<06772>_;
for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>
shall come
<05927> (8804)
upon thee, [and] he shall destroy
<07843> (8765)
thy strong holds
<04013>_.
O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Aroer
<06177>_,
stand
<05975> (8798)
by the way
<01870>_,
and espy
<06822> (8761)_;
ask
<07592> (8798)
him that fleeth
<05127> (8801)_,
and her that escapeth
<04422> (8737)_,
[and] say
<0559> (8798)_,
What is done
<01961> (8738)_?
{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Moab
<04124>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_;
for it is broken down
<02865> (8804)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
and cry
<02199> (8798)_;
tell
<05046> (8685)
ye it in Arnon
<0769>_,
that Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
And judgment
<04941>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon the plain
<04334>
country
<0776>_;
upon Holon
<02473>_,
and upon Jahazah
<03096>_,
and upon Mephaath
<04158>_,
And upon Dibon
<01769>_,
and upon Nebo
<05015>_,
and upon Bethdiblathaim
<01015>_,
And upon Kiriathaim
<07156>_,
and upon Bethgamul
<01014>_,
and upon Bethmeon
<01010>_,
And upon Kerioth
<07152>_,
and upon Bozrah
<01224>_,
and upon all the cities
<05892>
of the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
far
<07350>
or near
<07138>_.
The horn
<07161>
of Moab
<04124>
is cut off
<01438> (8738)_,
and his arm
<02220>
is broken
<07665> (8738)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Make ye him drunken
<07937> (8685)_:
for he magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_:
Moab
<04124>
also shall wallow
<05606> (8804)
in his vomit
<06892>_,
and he also shall be in derision
<07814>_.
For was not Israel
<03478>
a derision
<07814>
unto thee? was he found
<04672> (8738)
among thieves
<01590>_?
for since
<01767>
thou spakest
<01697>
of him, thou skippedst
<05110> (8709)
for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in Moab
<04124>_,
leave
<05800> (8798)
the cities
<05892>_,
and dwell
<07931> (8798)
in the rock
<05553>_,
and be like the dove
<03123>
[that] maketh her nest
<07077> (8762)
in the sides
<05676>
of the hole's
<06354>
mouth
<06310>_.
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_,
(he is exceeding
<03966>
proud
<01343>)
his loftiness
<01363>_,
and his arrogancy
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of his heart
<03820>_.
I know
<03045> (8804)
his wrath
<05678>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies
<0907>
shall not so effect
<06213> (8804)
[it]. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
and I will cry out
<02199> (8799)
for all Moab
<04124>_;
[mine heart] shall mourn
<01897> (8799)
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_.
O vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_,
I will weep
<01058> (8799)
for thee with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
thy plants
<05189>
are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_,
they reach
<05060> (8804)
[even] to the sea
<03220>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is fallen
<05307> (8804)
upon thy summer fruits
<07019>
and upon thy vintage
<01210>_.
And joy
<08057>
and gladness
<01524>
is taken
<0622> (8738)
from the plentiful field
<03759>_,
and from the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_;
and I have caused wine
<03196>
to fail
<07673> (8689)
from the winepresses
<03342>_:
none shall tread
<01869> (8799)
with shouting
<01959>_;
[their] shouting
<01959>
[shall be] no shouting
<01959>_.
From the cry
<02201>
of Heshbon
<02809>
[even] unto Elealeh
<0500>_,
[and even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_,
have they uttered
<05414> (8804)
their voice
<06963>_,
from Zoar
<06820>
[even] unto Horonaim
<02773>_,
[as] an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for the waters
<04325>
also of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to cease
<07673> (8689)
in Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
him that offereth
<05927> (8688)
in the high places
<01116>_,
and him that burneth incense
<06999> (8688)
to his gods
<0430>_.
Therefore mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>
like pipes
<02485>_,
and mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like pipes
<02485>
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_:
because the riches
<03502>
[that] he hath gotten
<06213> (8804)
are perished
<06> (8804)_.
For every head
<07218>
[shall be] bald
<07144>_,
and every beard
<02206>
clipped
<01639> (8803)_:
upon all the hands
<03027>
[shall be] cuttings
<01417>_,
and upon the loins
<04975>
sackcloth
<08242>_.
{clipped: Heb. diminished}
[There shall be] lamentation
<04553>
generally upon all the housetops
<01406>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and in the streets
<07339>
thereof: for I have broken
<07665> (8804)
Moab
<04124>
like a vessel
<03627>
wherein [is] no pleasure
<02656>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They shall howl
<03213> (8685)_,
[saying], How is it broken down
<02865> (8804)_!
how hath Moab
<04124>
turned
<06437> (8689)
the back
<06203>
with shame
<0954> (8804)_!
so shall Moab
<04124>
be a derision
<07814>
and a dismaying
<04288>
to all them about
<05439>
him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, he shall fly
<01675> (8799)
as an eagle
<05404>_,
and shall spread
<06566> (8804)
his wings
<03671>
over Moab
<04124>_.
Kerioth
<07152>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
and the strong holds
<04679>
are surprised
<08610> (8738)_,
and the mighty men's
<01368>
hearts
<03820>
in Moab
<04124>
at that day
<03117>
shall be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
{Kerioth: or, The cities}
And Moab
<04124>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)
from [being] a people
<05971>_,
because he hath magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_.
Fear
<06343>_,
and the pit
<06354>_,
and the snare
<06341>_,
[shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
He that fleeth
<05127> (8801) (8675) <05211>
from
<06440>
the fear
<06343>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into the pit
<06354>_;
and he that getteth up
<05927> (8802)
out of the pit
<06354>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in the snare
<06341>_:
for I will bring
<0935> (8686)
upon it, [even] upon Moab
<04124>_,
the year
<08141>
of their visitation
<06486>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They that fled
<05127> (8801)
stood
<05975> (8804)
under the shadow
<06738>
of Heshbon
<02809>
because of the force
<03581>_:
but a fire
<0784>
shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Heshbon
<02809>_,
and a flame
<03852>
from the midst
<0996>
of Sihon
<05511>_,
and shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the corner
<06285>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the crown of the head
<06936>
of the tumultuous
<07588>
ones
<01121>_.
{tumultuous...: Heb. children of noise}
Woe
<0188>
be unto thee, O Moab
<04124>_!
the people
<05971>
of Chemosh
<03645>
perisheth
<06> (8804)_:
for thy sons
<01121>
are taken
<03947> (8795)
captives
<07628>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
captives
<07633>_.
{captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring again
<07725> (8804)
the captivity
<07622>
of Moab
<04124>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus far
<02008>
[is] the judgment
<04941>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Concerning the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Hath Israel
<03478>
no sons
<01121>_?
hath he no heir
<03423> (8802)_?
why [then] doth their king
<04428>
inherit
<03423> (8804)
Gad
<01410>_,
and his people
<05971>
dwell
<03427> (8804)
in his cities
<05892>_?
{Concerning: or, Against} {their king: or, Melcom}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will cause an alarm
<08643>
of war
<04421>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)
in Rabbah
<07237>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_;
and it shall be a desolate
<08077>
heap
<08510>_,
and her daughters
<01323>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_:
then shall Israel
<03478>
be heir
<03423> (8804)
unto them that were his heirs
<03423> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
for Ai
<05857>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
cry
<06817> (8798)_,
ye daughters
<01323>
of Rabbah
<07237>_,
gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_;
lament
<05594> (8798)_,
and run to and fro
<07751> (8708)
by the hedges
<01448>_;
for their king
<04428>
shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<01473>_,
[and] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
{their king: or, Melcom}
Wherefore gloriest
<01984> (8691)
thou in the valleys
<06010>_,
thy flowing
<02100> (8802)
valley
<06010>_,
O backsliding
<07728>
daughter
<01323>_?
that trusted
<0982> (8802)
in her treasures
<0214>_,
[saying], Who shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto me? {thy...: or, thy valley floweth away}
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
a fear
<06343>
upon thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
from all those that be about
<05439>
thee; and ye shall be driven out
<05080> (8738)
every man
<0376>
right forth
<06440>_;
and none shall gather up
<06908> (8764)
him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
And afterward
<0310>
I will bring again
<07725> (8686)
the captivity
<07622>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Concerning Edom
<0123>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
[Is] wisdom
<02451>
no more in Teman
<08487>_?
is counsel
<06098>
perished
<06> (8804)
from the prudent
<0995> (8801)_?
is their wisdom
<02451>
vanished
<05628> (8738)_?
Flee
<05127> (8798)
ye, turn back
<06437> (8717)_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Dedan
<01719>_;
for I will bring
<0935> (8689)
the calamity
<0343>
of Esau
<06215>
upon him, the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
him. {turn...: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherers
<01219> (8802)
come
<0935> (8804)
to thee, would they not leave
<07604> (8686)
[some] gleaning grapes
<05955>_?
if thieves
<01590>
by night
<03915>_,
they will destroy
<07843> (8689)
till they have enough
<01767>_.
{till...: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made Esau
<06215>
bare
<02834> (8804)_,
I have uncovered
<01540> (8765)
his secret places
<04565>_,
and he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to hide
<02247> (8736)
himself: his seed
<02233>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and his neighbours
<07934>_,
and he [is] not.
Leave
<05800> (8798)
thy fatherless children
<03490>_,
I will preserve [them] alive
<02421> (8762)_;
and let thy widows
<0490>
trust
<0982> (8799)
in me.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, they whose judgment
<04941>
[was] not to drink
<08354> (8800)
of the cup
<03563>
have assuredly
<08354> (8800)
drunken
<08354> (8799)_;
and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether
<05352> (8800)
go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_?
thou shalt not go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,
but thou shalt surely
<08354> (8800)
drink
<08354> (8799)
[of it].
For I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by myself, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that Bozrah
<01224>
shall become a desolation
<08047>_,
a reproach
<02781>_,
a waste
<02721>_,
and a curse
<07045>_;
and all the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be perpetual
<05769>
wastes
<02723>_.
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
a rumour
<08052>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and an ambassador
<06735>
is sent
<07971> (8803)
unto the heathen
<01471>_,
[saying], Gather ye together
<06908> (8690)_,
and come
<0935> (8798)
against her, and rise up
<06965> (8798)
to the battle
<04421>_.
For, lo, I will make
<05414> (8804)
thee small
<06996>
among the heathen
<01471>_,
[and] despised
<0959> (8803)
among men
<0120>_.
Thy terribleness
<08606>
hath deceived
<05377> (8689)
thee, [and] the pride
<02087>
of thine heart
<03820>_,
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802)
in the clefts
<02288>
of the rock
<05553>_,
that holdest
<08610> (8802)
the height
<04791>
of the hill
<01389>_:
though thou shouldest make thy nest
<07064>
as high
<01361> (8686)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
I will bring thee down
<03381> (8686)
from thence, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Also Edom
<0123>
shall be a desolation
<08047>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by it shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and shall hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all the plagues
<04347>
thereof.
As in the overthrow
<04114>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
no man
<0376>
shall abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall a son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
against the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will suddenly
<07280> (8686)
make him run away
<07323> (8686)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Edom
<0123>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Teman
<08487>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make their habitations
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
The earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8804)
at the noise
<06963>
of their fall
<05307> (8800)_,
at the cry
<06818>
the noise
<06963>
thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)
in the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_.
{Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
and fly
<01675> (8799)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
and spread
<06566> (8799)
his wings
<03671>
over Bozrah
<01224>_:
and at that day
<03117>
shall the heart
<03820>
of the mighty men
<01368>
of Edom
<0123>
be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
Concerning Damascus
<01834>_.
Hamath
<02574>
is confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
and Arpad
<0774>_:
for they have heard
<08085> (8804)
evil
<07451>
tidings
<08052>_:
they are fainthearted
<04127> (8738)_;
[there is] sorrow
<01674>
on the sea
<03220>_;
it cannot
<03201> (8799)
be quiet
<08252> (8687)_.
{fainthearted: Heb. melted} {on...: or, as on the sea}
Damascus
<01834>
is waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_,
[and] turneth
<06437> (8689)
herself to flee
<05127> (8800)_,
and fear
<07374>
hath seized
<02388> (8689)
on [her]: anguish
<06869>
and sorrows
<02256>
have taken
<0270> (8804)
her, as a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
How is the city
<05892>
of praise
<08416>
not left
<05800> (8795)_,
the city
<07151>
of my joy
<04885>_!
Therefore her young men
<0970>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in her streets
<07339>_,
and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the wall
<02346>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
and it shall consume
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
of Benhadad
<01130>_.
Concerning Kedar
<06938>_,
and concerning the kingdoms
<04467>
of Hazor
<02674>_,
which Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall smite
<05221> (8689)_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Arise
<06965> (8798)
ye, go up
<05927> (8798)
to Kedar
<06938>_,
and spoil
<07703> (8798)
the men
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
Their tents
<0168>
and their flocks
<06629>
shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_:
they shall take
<05375> (8799)
to themselves their curtains
<03407>_,
and all their vessels
<03627>_,
and their camels
<01581>_;
and they shall cry
<07121> (8804)
unto them, Fear
<04032>
[is] on every side
<05439>_.
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
get
<05110> (8798)
you far off
<03966>_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Hazor
<02674>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath taken counsel
<06098> <03289> (8804)
against you, and hath conceived
<02803> (8804)
a purpose
<04284>
against you. {get...: Heb. flit greatly}
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get you up
<05927> (8798)
unto the wealthy
<07961>
nation
<01471>_,
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
without care
<0983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which have neither gates
<01817>
nor bars
<01280>_,
[which] dwell
<07931> (8799)
alone
<0910>_.
{wealthy: or, that is at ease}
And their camels
<01581>
shall be a booty
<0957>_,
and the multitude
<01995>
of their cattle
<04735>
a spoil
<07998>_:
and I will scatter
<02219> (8765)
into all winds
<07307>
them [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)
corners
<06285>_;
and I will bring
<0935> (8686)
their calamity
<0343>
from all sides
<05676>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{in...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled}
And Hazor
<02674>
shall be a dwelling
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
[and] a desolation
<08077>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
there shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, nor [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against Elam
<05867>
in the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04438>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Behold, I will break
<07665> (8799)
the bow
<07198>
of Elam
<05867>_,
the chief
<07225>
of their might
<01369>_.
And upon Elam
<05867>
will I bring
<0935> (8689)
the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
from the four
<0702>
quarters
<07098>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and will scatter
<02219> (8765)
them toward all those winds
<07307>_;
and there shall be no nation
<01471>
whither the outcasts
<05080> (8737)
of Elam
<05867> (8675) <05769>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.
For I will cause Elam
<05867>
to be dismayed
<02865> (8689)
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and before
<06440>
them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_:
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
evil
<07451>
upon them, [even] my fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will send
<07971> (8765)
the sword
<02719>
after
<0310>
them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)
them:
And I will set
<07760> (8804)
my throne
<03678>
in Elam
<05867>_,
and will destroy
<06> (8689)
from thence the king
<04428>
and the princes
<08269>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
But it shall come to pass in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
[that] I will bring again
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)
the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>
of Elam
<05867>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
against Babylon
<0894>
[and] against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
by
<03027>
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_.
{by...: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye among the nations
<01471>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)_,
and set up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>_;
publish
<08085> (8685)_,
[and] conceal
<03582> (8762)
not: say
<0559> (8798)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
Bel
<01078>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
Merodach
<04781>
is broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_;
her idols
<06091>
are confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
her images
<01544>
are broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_.
{set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the north
<06828>
there cometh up
<05927> (8804)
a nation
<01471>
against her, which shall make
<07896> (8799)
her land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_,
and none shall dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: they shall remove
<05110> (8804)_,
they shall depart
<01980> (8804)_,
both man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
they and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
together
<03162>_,
going
<01980> (8800)
and weeping
<01058> (8800)_:
they shall go
<03212> (8799)_,
and seek
<01245> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
They shall ask
<07592> (8799)
the way
<01870>
to Zion
<06726>
with their faces
<06440>
thitherward
<02008>_,
[saying], Come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us join
<03867> (8738)
ourselves to the LORD
<03068>
in a perpetual
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
[that] shall not be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.
My people
<05971>
hath been lost
<06> (8802)
sheep
<06629>_:
their shepherds
<07462> (8802)
have caused them to go astray
<08582> (8689)_,
they have turned them away
<07725> (8790) (8675) <07726>
[on] the mountains
<02022>_:
they have gone
<01980> (8804)
from mountain
<02022>
to hill
<01389>_,
they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
their restingplace
<07258>_.
{restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that found
<04672> (8802)
them have devoured
<0398> (8804)
them: and their adversaries
<06862>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
We offend
<0816> (8799)
not, because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
the habitation
<05116>
of justice
<06664>_,
even the LORD
<03068>_,
the hope
<04723>
of their fathers
<01>_.
Remove
<05110> (8798)
out of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and go forth
<03318> (8798) (8675) <03318> (8799)
out of the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and be as the he goats
<06260>
before
<06440>
the flocks
<06629>_.
For, lo, I will raise
<05782> (8688)
and cause to come up
<05927> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>
an assembly
<06951>
of great
<01419>
nations
<01471>
from the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_:
and they shall set themselves in array
<06186> (8804)
against her; from thence she shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
their arrows
<02671>
[shall be] as of a mighty
<01368>
expert man
<07919> (8688) (8676) <07921> (8688)_;
none shall return
<07725> (8799)
in vain
<07387>_.
{expert...: or, destroyer}
And Chaldea
<03778>
shall be a spoil
<07998>_:
all that spoil
<07997> (8802)
her shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Because ye were glad
<08055> (8799)_,
because ye rejoiced
<05937> (8799)_,
O ye destroyers
<08154> (8802)
of mine heritage
<05159>_,
because ye are grown fat
<06335> (8799)
as the heifer
<05697>
at grass
<01877> (8676) <01758> (8801)_,
and bellow
<06670> (8799)
as bulls
<047>_;
{fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow...: or, neigh as steeds}
Your mother
<0517>
shall be sore
<03966>
confounded
<0954> (8804)_;
she that bare
<03205> (8802)
you shall be ashamed
<02659> (8804)_:
behold, the hindermost
<0319>
of the nations
<01471>
[shall be] a wilderness
<04057>_,
a dry land
<06723>_,
and a desert
<06160>_.
Because of the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
it shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
but it shall be wholly desolate
<08077>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by Babylon
<0894>
shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all her plagues
<04347>_.
Put yourselves in array
<06186> (8798)
against Babylon
<0894>
round about
<05439>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
shoot
<03034> (8798)
at her, spare
<02550> (8799)
no arrows
<02671>_:
for she hath sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
Shout
<07321> (8685)
against her round about
<05439>_:
she hath given
<05414> (8804)
her hand
<03027>_:
her foundations
<0803>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
her walls
<02346>
are thrown down
<02040> (8738)_:
for it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
take vengeance
<05358> (8734)
upon her; as she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her.
Cut off
<03772> (8798)
the sower
<02232> (8802)
from Babylon
<0894>_,
and him that handleth
<08610> (8802)
the sickle
<04038>
in the time
<06256>
of harvest
<07105>_:
for fear
<06440>
of the oppressing
<03238> (8802)
sword
<02719>
they shall turn
<06437> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his people
<05971>_,
and they shall flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his own land
<0776>_.
{sickle; or, scythe}
Israel
<03478>
[is] a scattered
<06340> (8801)
sheep
<07716>_;
the lions
<0738>
have driven [him] away
<05080> (8689)_:
first
<07223>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him; and last
<0314>
this Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath broken his bones
<06105> (8765)_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
and his land
<0776>_,
as I have punished
<06485> (8804)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And I will bring
<07725> (0)
Israel
<03478>
again
<07725> (8790)
to his habitation
<05116>_,
and he shall feed
<07462> (8804)
on Carmel
<03760>
and Bashan
<01316>_,
and his soul
<05315>
shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
upon mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
and Gilead
<01568>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the iniquity
<05771>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be sought for
<01245> (8792)_,
and [there shall be] none; and the sins
<02403>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and they shall not be found
<04672> (8735)_:
for I will pardon
<05545> (8799)
them whom I reserve
<07604> (8686)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)
against the land
<0776>
of Merathaim
<04850>_,
[even] against it, and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Pekod
<06489>_:
waste
<02717> (8798)
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)
after
<0310>
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A sound
<06963>
of battle
<04421>
[is] in the land
<0776>_,
and of great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
How is the hammer
<06360>
of the whole earth
<0776>
cut asunder
<01438> (8738)
and broken
<07665> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become a desolation
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
I have laid a snare
<03369> (8804)
for thee, and thou art also taken
<03920> (8738)_,
O Babylon
<0894>_,
and thou wast not aware
<03045> (8804)_:
thou art found
<04672> (8738)_,
and also caught
<08610> (8738)_,
because thou hast striven
<01624> (8694)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath opened
<06605> (8804)
his armoury
<0214>_,
and hath brought forth
<03318> (8686)
the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_:
for this [is] the work
<04399>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
Come
<0935> (8798)
against her from the utmost border
<07093>_,
open
<06605> (8798)
her storehouses
<03965>_:
cast her up
<05549> (8798)
as heaps
<06194>_,
and destroy her utterly
<02763> (8685)_:
let nothing of her be left
<07611>_.
{from...: Heb. from the end} {cast...: or, tread her}
Slay
<02717> (8798)
all her bullocks
<06499>_;
let them go down
<03381> (8799)
to the slaughter
<02874>_:
woe
<01945>
unto them! for their day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>_.
The voice
<06963>
of them that flee
<05127> (8801)
and escape out
<06405>
of the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
to declare
<05046> (8687)
in Zion
<06726>
the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
Call together
<08085> (8685)
the archers
<07228>
against Babylon
<0894>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
camp
<02583> (8798)
against it round about
<05439>_;
let none thereof escape
<06413>_:
recompense
<07999> (8761)
her according to her work
<06467>_;
according to all that she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her: for she hath been proud
<02102> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Therefore shall her young men
<0970>
fall
<05307> (8799)
in the streets
<07339>_,
and all her men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud
<02087>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for thy day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
thee. {most...: Heb. pride}
And the most proud
<02087>
shall stumble
<03782> (8804)
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and none shall raise him up
<06965> (8688)_:
and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in his cities
<05892>_,
and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)
all round about
<05439>
him. {the...: Heb. pride}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
[were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)
together
<03162>_:
and all that took them captives
<07617> (8802)
held them fast
<02388> (8689)_;
they refused
<03985> (8765)
to let them go
<07971> (8763)_.
Their Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
[is] strong
<02389>_;
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_:
he shall throughly
<07378> (8800)
plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>_,
that he may give rest
<07280> (8689)
to the land
<0776>_,
and disquiet
<07264> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and upon her princes
<08269>_,
and upon her wise
<02450>
[men].
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the liars
<0907>_;
and they shall dote
<02973> (8738)_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her mighty men
<01368>_;
and they shall be dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon their horses
<05483>_,
and upon their chariots
<07393>_,
and upon all the mingled people
<06153>
that [are] in the midst
<08432>
of her; and they shall become as women
<0802>_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her treasures
<0214>_;
and they shall be robbed
<0962> (8795)_.
A drought
<02721>
[is] upon her waters
<04325>_;
and they shall be dried up
<03001> (8804)_:
for it [is] the land
<0776>
of graven images
<06456>_,
and they are mad
<01984> (8704)
upon [their] idols
<0367>_.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
with the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
[there], and the owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
therein: and it shall be no more inhabited
<03427> (8799)
for ever
<05331>_;
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
As God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
[so] shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall any son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
therein.
Behold, a people
<05971>
shall come
<0935> (8802)
from the north
<06828>_,
and a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_,
and many
<07227>
kings
<04428>
shall be raised up
<05782> (8735)
from the coasts
<03411>
of the earth
<0776>_.
They shall hold
<02388> (8686)
the bow
<07198>
and the lance
<03591>_:
they [are] cruel
<0394>_,
and will not shew mercy
<07355> (8762)_:
their voice
<06963>
shall roar
<01993> (8799)
like the sea
<03220>_,
and they shall ride
<07392> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_,
[every one] put in array
<06186> (8803)_,
like a man
<0376>
to the battle
<04421>_,
against thee, O daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
the report
<08088>
of them, and his hands
<03027>
waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_:
anguish
<06869>
took hold
<02388> (8689)
of him, [and] pangs
<02427>
as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
unto the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will make
<07323> (0)
them suddenly
<07280> (8686)
run away
<07323> (8686) (8675) <07323> (8799)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make [their] habitation
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
At the noise
<06963>
of the taking
<08610> (8738)
of Babylon
<0894>
the earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8735)_,
and the cry
<02201>
is heard
<08085> (8738)
among the nations
<01471>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
and against them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<03820>
of them that rise up
<06965> (8801)
against me, a destroying
<07843> (8688)
wind
<07307>_;
{midst: Heb. heart}
And will send
<07971> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
fanners
<02114> (8801)_,
that shall fan
<02219> (8765)
her, and shall empty
<01238> (8787)
her land
<0776>_:
for in the day
<03117>
of trouble
<07451>
they shall be against her round about
<05439>_.
Against [him that] bendeth
<01869> (0)
let the archer
<01869> (8802)
bend
<01869> (8799)
his bow
<07198>_,
and against [him that] lifteth himself up
<05927> (8691)
in his brigandine
<05630>_:
and spare
<02550> (8799)
ye not her young men
<0970>_;
destroy ye utterly
<02763> (8685)
all her host
<06635>_.
Thus the slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and [they that are] thrust through
<01856> (8794)
in her streets
<02351>_.
For Israel
<03478>
[hath] not [been] forsaken
<0488>_,
nor Judah
<03063>
of his God
<0430>_,
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
though their land
<0776>
was filled
<04390> (8804)
with sin
<0817>
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Flee out
<05127> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and deliver
<04422> (8761)
every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>_:
be not cut off
<01826> (8735)
in her iniquity
<05771>_;
for this [is] the time
<06256>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
vengeance
<05360>_;
he will render
<07999> (8764)
unto her a recompence
<01576>_.
Babylon
<0894>
[hath been] a golden
<02091>
cup
<03563>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>_,
that made all the earth
<0776>
drunken
<07937> (8764)_:
the nations
<01471>
have drunken
<08354> (8804)
of her wine
<03196>_;
therefore the nations
<01471>
are mad
<01984> (8704)_.
Babylon
<0894>
is suddenly
<06597>
fallen
<05307> (8804)
and destroyed
<07665> (8735)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
for her; take
<03947> (8798)
balm
<06875>
for her pain
<04341>_,
if so be she may be healed
<07495> (8735)_.
We would have healed
<07495> (8765)
Babylon
<0894>_,
but she is not healed
<07495> (8738)_:
forsake
<05800> (8798)
her, and let us go
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own country
<0776>_:
for her judgment
<04941>
reacheth
<05060> (8804)
unto heaven
<08064>_,
and is lifted up
<05375> (8738)
[even] to the skies
<07834>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath brought forth
<03318> (8689)
our righteousness
<06666>_:
come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us declare
<05608> (8762)
in Zion
<06726>
the work
<04639>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
Make bright
<01305> (8685)
the arrows
<02671>_;
gather
<04390> (8798)
the shields
<07982>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath raised up
<05782> (8689)
the spirit
<07307>
of the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_:
for his device
<04209>
[is] against Babylon
<0894>_,
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
it; because it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
{bright: Heb. pure}
Set up
<05375> (8798)
the standard
<05251>
upon the walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
make the watch
<04929>
strong
<02388> (8685)_,
set up
<06965> (8685)
the watchmen
<08104> (8802)_,
prepare
<03559> (8685)
the ambushes
<0693> (8802)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath both devised
<02161> (8804)
and done
<06213> (8804)
that which he spake
<01696> (8765)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
{ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802) (8675) <07931> (8804)
upon many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
abundant
<07227>
in treasures
<0214>_,
thine end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
[and] the measure
<0520>
of thy covetousness
<01215>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by himself
<05315>_,
[saying], Surely I will fill
<04390> (8765)
thee with men
<0120>_,
as with caterpillers
<03218>_;
and they shall lift up
<06030> (8804)
a shout
<01959>
against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath made
<06213> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
by his power
<03581>_,
he hath established
<03559> (8688)
the world
<08398>
by his wisdom
<02451>_,
and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)
the heaven
<08064>
by his understanding
<08394>_.
When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)
[his] voice
<06963>_,
[there is] a multitude
<01995>
of waters
<04325>
in the heavens
<08064>_;
and he causeth the vapours
<05387>
to ascend
<05927> (8686)
from the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_:
he maketh
<06213> (8804)
lightnings
<01300>
with rain
<04306>_,
and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)
the wind
<07307>
out of his treasures
<0214>_.
{multitude: or, noise}
Every man
<0120>
is brutish
<01197> (8738)
by [his] knowledge
<01847>_;
every founder
<06884> (8802)
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
by the graven image
<06459>_:
for his molten image
<05262>
[is] falsehood
<08267>_,
and [there is] no breath
<07307>
in them. {is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know}
They [are] vanity
<01892>_,
the work
<04639>
of errors
<08595>_:
in the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>
they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
The portion
<02506>
of Jacob
<03290>
[is] not like them; for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)
of all things: and [Israel is] the rod
<07626>
of his inheritance
<05159>_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
Thou [art] my battle axe
<04661>
[and] weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_:
for with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the nations
<01471>_,
and with thee will I destroy
<07843> (8689)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
{with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the horse
<05483>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the chariot
<07393>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
With thee also will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
old
<02205>
and young
<05288>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the young man
<0970>
and the maid
<01330>_;
I will also break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
with thee the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
and his flock
<05739>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the husbandman
<0406>
and his yoke of oxen
<06776>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>_.
And I will render
<07999> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
and to all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>
all their evil
<07451>
that they have done
<06213> (8804)
in Zion
<06726>
in your sight
<05869>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying
<04889>
mountain
<02022>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which destroyest
<07843> (8688)
all the earth
<0776>_:
and I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon thee, and roll thee down
<01556> (8773)
from the rocks
<05553>_,
and will make
<05414> (8804)
thee a burnt
<08316>
mountain
<02022>_.
And they shall not take
<03947> (8799)
of thee a stone
<068>
for a corner
<06438>_,
nor a stone
<068>
for foundations
<04146>_;
but thou shalt be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{desolate...: Heb. everlasting desolations}
Set ye up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>
in the land
<0776>_,
blow
<08628> (8798)
the trumpet
<07782>
among the nations
<01471>_,
prepare
<06942> (8761)
the nations
<01471>
against her, call together
<08085> (8685)
against her the kingdoms
<04467>
of Ararat
<0780>_,
Minni
<04508>_,
and Ashchenaz
<0813>_;
appoint
<06485> (8798)
a captain
<02951>
against her; cause the horses
<05483>
to come up
<05927> (8685)
as the rough
<05569>
caterpillers
<03218>_.
Prepare
<06942> (8761)
against her the nations
<01471>
with the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_,
the captains
<06346>
thereof, and all the rulers
<05461>
thereof, and all the land
<0776>
of his dominion
<04475>_.
And the land
<0776>
shall tremble
<07493> (8799)
and sorrow
<02342> (8799)_:
for every purpose
<04284>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be performed
<06965> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
to make
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>
a desolation
<08047>
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
The mighty men
<01368>
of Babylon
<0894>
have forborn
<02308> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)_,
they have remained
<03427> (8804)
in [their] holds
<04679>_:
their might
<01369>
hath failed
<05405> (8804)_;
they became as women
<0802>_:
they have burned
<03341> (8689)
her dwellingplaces
<04908>_;
her bars
<01280>
are broken
<07665> (8738)_.
One post
<07323> (8801)
shall run
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<07323> (8801)_,
and one messenger
<05046> (8688)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<05046> (8688)_,
to shew
<05046> (8687)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
that his city
<05892>
is taken
<03920> (8738)
at [one] end
<07097>_,
And that the passages
<04569>
are stopped
<08610> (8738)_,
and the reeds
<098>
they have burned
<08313> (8804)
with fire
<0784>_,
and the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
are affrighted
<0926> (8738)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>
[is] like a threshingfloor
<01637>_,
[it is] time
<06256>
to thresh
<01869> (8687)
her: yet a little while
<04592>_,
and the time
<06256>
of her harvest
<07105>
shall come
<0935> (8804)_.
{it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
me, he hath crushed
<02000> (8804)
me, he hath made
<03322> (8689)
me an empty
<07385>
vessel
<03627>_,
he hath swallowed me up
<01104> (8804)
like a dragon
<08577>_,
he hath filled
<04390> (8765)
his belly
<03770>
with my delicates
<05730>_,
he hath cast me out
<01740> (8689)_.
The violence
<02555>
done to me and to my flesh
<07607>
[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>
say
<0559> (8799)_;
and my blood
<01818>
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>_,
shall Jerusalem
<03389>
say
<0559> (8799)_.
{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)
thy cause
<07379>_,
and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)
for thee
<05360>_;
and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)
her sea
<03220>_,
and make her springs
<04726>
dry
<03001> (8689)_.
And Babylon
<0894>
shall become heaps
<01530>_,
a dwellingplace
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
They shall roar
<07580> (8799)
together
<03162>
like lions
<03715>_:
they shall yell
<05286> (8804)
as lions
<0738>_'
whelps
<01484>_.
{yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heat
<02527>
I will make
<07896> (8799)
their feasts
<04960>_,
and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,
that they may rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,
and sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)
like lambs
<03733>
to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,
like rams
<0352>
with he goats
<06260>_.
How is Sheshach
<08347>
taken
<03920> (8738)_!
and how is the praise
<08416>
of the whole earth
<0776>
surprised
<08610> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become an astonishment
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
The sea
<03220>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
upon Babylon
<0894>_:
she is covered
<03680> (8738)
with the multitude
<01995>
of the waves
<01530>
thereof.
Her cities
<05892>
are a desolation
<08047>_,
a dry
<06723>
land
<0776>_,
and a wilderness
<06160>_,
a land
<0776>
wherein no man
<0376>
dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,
neither doth [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby
<02004>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
Bel
<01078>
in Babylon
<0894>_,
and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
out of his mouth
<06310>
that which he hath swallowed up
<01105>_:
and the nations
<01471>
shall not flow together
<05102> (8799)
any more unto him: yea, the wall
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)_.
My people
<05971>_,
go ye out
<03318> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of her, and deliver
<04422> (8761)
ye every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>
from the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And lest your heart
<03824>
faint
<07401> (8735)_,
and ye fear
<03372> (8799)
for the rumour
<08052>
that shall be heard
<08085> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_;
a rumour
<08052>
shall both come
<0935> (8804)
[one] year
<08141>_,
and after
<0310>
that in [another] year
<08141>
[shall come] a rumour
<08052>_,
and violence
<02555>
in the land
<0776>_,
ruler
<04910> (8802)
against ruler
<04910> (8802)_.
{lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon the graven images
<06456>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
and her whole land
<0776>
shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,
and all her slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}
Then the heaven
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>_,
and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)
for Babylon
<0894>_:
for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto her from the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
As
<01571>
Babylon
<0894>
[hath caused] the slain
<02491>
of Israel
<03478>
to fall
<05307> (8800)_,
so at Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
the slain
<02491>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escaped
<06405>
the sword
<02719>_,
go away
<01980> (8798)_,
stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>
afar off
<07350>_,
and let Jerusalem
<03389>
come
<05927> (8799)
into your mind
<03824>_.
We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
because we have heard
<08085> (8804)
reproach
<02781>_:
shame
<03639>
hath covered
<03680> (8765)
our faces
<06440>_:
for strangers
<02114> (8801)
are come
<0935> (8804)
into the sanctuaries
<04720>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon her graven images
<06456>_:
and through all her land
<0776>
the wounded
<02491>
shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.
Though Babylon
<0894>
should mount up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_,
and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)
the height
<04791>
of her strength
<05797>_,
[yet]
<0227>
from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)
come
<0935> (8799)
unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
A sound
<06963>
of a cry
<02201>
[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>
from the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)
Babylon
<0894>_,
and destroyed
<06> (8765)
out of her the great
<01419>
voice
<06963>_;
when her waves
<01530>
do roar
<01993> (8804)
like great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
a noise
<07588>
of their voice
<06963>
is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:
Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>
are taken
<03920> (8738)_,
every one of their bows
<07198>
is broken
<02865> (8765)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0410>
of recompences
<01578>
shall surely
<07999> (8763)
requite
<07999> (8762)_.
And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)
her princes
<08269>_,
and her wise
<02450>
[men], her captains
<06346>_,
and her rulers
<05461>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>_:
and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The broad
<07342>
walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)
broken
<06209> (8698)_,
and her high
<01364>
gates
<08179>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_;
and the people
<05971>
shall labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
and the folk
<03816>
in
<01767>
the fire
<0784>_,
and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
The word
<01697>
which Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04271>_,
when he went
<03212> (8800)
with Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into Babylon
<0894>
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.
And [this] Seraiah
<08304>
[was] a quiet
<04496>
prince
<08269>_.
{with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}
So Jeremiah
<03414>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
in a
<0259>
book
<05612>
all the evil
<07451>
that should come
<0935> (8799)
upon Babylon
<0894>_,
[even] all these words
<01697>
that are written
<03789> (8803)
against Babylon
<0894>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Seraiah
<08304>_,
When thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and shalt see
<07200> (8804)_,
and shalt read
<07121> (8804)
all these words
<01697>_;
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
against this place
<04725>_,
to cut it off
<03772> (8687)_,
that none shall remain
<03427> (8802)
in it, neither man
<0120>
nor beast
<0929>_,
but that it shall be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)
of reading
<07121> (8800)
this book
<05612>_,
[that] thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)
a stone
<068>
to it, and cast
<07993> (8689)
it into the midst
<08432>
of Euphrates
<06578>_:
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus shall Babylon
<0894>
sink
<08257> (8799)_,
and shall not rise
<06965> (8799)
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon her: and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
Thus far [are] the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_.
Zedekiah
<06667>
[was] one
<0259>
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
eleven
<0259> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Hamutal
<02537>
the daughter
<01323>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
of Libnah
<03841>_.
{began...: Heb. reigned}
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that Jehoiakim
<03079>
had done
<06213> (8804)_.
For through
<05921>
the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
it came to pass in Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
till he had cast them out
<07993> (8687)
from his presence
<06440>_,
that Zedekiah
<06667>
rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
And it came to pass in the ninth
<08671>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
in the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_,
in the tenth
<06218>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
he and all his army
<02428>_,
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
against it, and built
<01129> (8799)
forts
<01785>
against it round about
<05439>_.
So
<0935> (8799)
the city
<05892>
was besieged
<04692>
unto the eleventh
<06249> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>_.
And in the fourth
<07243>
month
<02320>_,
in the ninth
<08672>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
the famine
<07458>
was sore
<02388> (8799)
in the city
<05892>_,
so that there was no bread
<03899>
for the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
Then the city
<05892>
was broken up
<01234> (8735)_,
and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
fled
<01272> (8799)_,
and went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the city
<05892>
by night
<03915>
by the way
<01870>
of the gate
<08179>
between the two walls
<02346>_,
which [was] by the king's
<04428>
garden
<01588>_;
(now the Chaldeans
<03778>
[were] by the city
<05892>
round about
<05439>:)
and they went
<03212> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of the plain
<06160>_.
But the army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
the king
<04428>_,
and overtook
<05381> (8686)
Zedekiah
<06667>
in the plains
<06160>
of Jericho
<03405>_;
and all his army
<02428>
was scattered
<06327> (8738)
from him.
Then they took
<08610> (8799)
the king
<04428>_,
and carried him up
<05927> (8686)
unto the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>
in the land
<0776>
of Hamath
<02574>_;
where he gave
<01696> (8762)
judgment
<04941>
upon him.
And the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
slew
<07819> (8799)
the sons
<01121>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
before his eyes
<05869>_:
he slew
<07819> (8804)
also all the princes
<08269>
of Judah
<03063>
in Riblah
<07247>_.
Then he put out
<05786> (8765)
the eyes
<05869>
of Zedekiah
<06667>_;
and the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
bound
<0631> (8799)
him in chains
<05178>_,
and carried
<0935> (8686)
him to Babylon
<0894>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
him in prison
<01004> <06486>
till the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_.
{put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
Now in the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>_,
in the tenth
<06218>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
which [was] the nineteenth
<08672> <06240> <08141>
year
<08141>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuzaradan
<05018>_,
captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
[which] served
<05975> (8804) <06440>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
into Jerusalem
<03389>_,
{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before}
And burned
<08313> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_;
and all the houses
<01004>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and all the houses
<01004>
of the great
<01419>
[men], burned
<08313> (8804)
he with fire
<0784>_:
And all the army
<02428>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
that [were] with the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
brake down
<05422> (8804)
all the walls
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
round about
<05439>_.
Then Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
carried away captive
<01540> (8689)
[certain] of the poor

of the people
<05971>_,
and the residue
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
that remained

in the city
<05892>_,
and those that fell away
<05307> (8802)_,
that fell
<05307> (8804)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and the rest
<03499>
of the multitude
<0527>_.
But Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
left
<07604> (8689)
[certain] of the poor
<01803>
of the land
<0776>
for vinedressers
<03755>
and for husbandmen
<03009> (8802)_.
Also the pillars
<05982>

<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the bases

and the brasen
<05178>
sea
<03220>
that [was] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the Chaldeans
<03778>
brake
<07665> (8765)_,
and carried
<05375> (8799)

<05178>
of them to Babylon
<0894>_.
The caldrons
<05518>
also, and the shovels

<04212>_,
and the bowls
<04219>_,

<03627>

<05178>
wherewith they ministered

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

<05178>

<01241>
that [were] under the bases
<04350>_,
which king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
the brass
<05178>
of all these vessels
<03627>
was without weight
<04948>_.
{the brass: Heb. their brass}
And [concerning] the pillars
<05982>_,
the height
<06967>
of one
<0259>
pillar
<05982>
[was] eighteen
<08083> <06240>
cubits

and a fillet
<02339>
of twelve
<08147> <06240>
cubits
<0520>
did compass
<05437> (8799)
it; and the thickness

thereof [was] four
<0702>
fingers
<0676>_:
[it was] hollow
<05014> (8803)_.
{fillet: Heb. thread}
And a chapiter
<03805>
of brass
<05178>
[was] upon it; and the height
<06967>
of one
<0259>
chapiter
<03805>
[was] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>_,
with network
<07639>
and pomegranates
<07416>
upon the chapiters
<03805>
round about
<05439>_,
all [of] brass
<05178>_.
The second
<08145>

<05982>
also and the pomegranates
<07416>
[were] like unto these.
And there were ninety

[and] all the pomegranates

<05439>_.
And the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
Seraiah
<08304>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>_,
and Zephaniah
<06846>
the second
<04932>
priest
<03548>_,
and the three
<07969>
keepers
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>_:
{door: Heb. threshold}
He took
<03947> (8804)
also out of the city
<05892>
an
<0259>
eunuch
<05631>_,
which had the charge
<06496>
of the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_;
and seven
<07651>
men
<0582>
of them that were near
<07200> (8802)
the king's
<04428>
person
<06440>_,
which were found
<04672> (8738)
in the city
<05892>_;
and the principal
<08269>
scribe
<05608> (8802)

in the midst
<08432>
of the city
<05892>_.
{were near...: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
So Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
them, and brought
<03212> (8686)
them to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and put them to death
<04191> (8686)
in Riblah
<07247>
in the land
<0127>
of Hamath
<02574>_.

of Judah
<03063>_,
and brought him forth

And spake

{kindly...: Heb. good things with him}
And changed
