Jeremiah 38:1-28

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)_.
