Jeremiah 44:1-30

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>_.
