1 The words1697 of Jeremiah3414 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 of4480 the priests3548 that834 were in Anathoth6068 in the land776 of Benjamin:1144
2 To whom834 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 in the days3117 of Josiah2977 the son1121 of Amon526 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 of his reign.4427
3 It came1961 also in the days3117 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 unto5704 the end8552 of the eleventh6249 6240 year8141 of Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 unto5704 the carrying away1540 of Jerusalem3389 captive in the fifth2549 month.2320
4 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
5 Before2962 I formed3335 thee in the belly990 I knew3045 thee; and before2962 thou camest forth3318 out of the womb4480 7358 I sanctified6942 thee, and I ordained5414 thee a prophet5030 unto the nations.1471
6 Then said559 I, Ah,162 Lord136 GOD!3069 behold,2009 I cannot3808 3045 speak:1696 for3588 I595 am a child.5288
7 But the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Say559 not,408 I595 am a child:5288 for3588 thou shalt go1980 to5921 all3605 that834 I shall send7971 thee, and whatsoever3605 834 I command6680 thee thou shalt speak.1696
8 Be not408 afraid3372 of their faces:4480 6440 for3588 I589 am with854 thee to deliver5337 thee, saith5002 the LORD.3068
9 Then the LORD3068 put forth7971 853 his hand,3027 and touched5060 5921 my mouth.6310 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Behold,2009 I have put5414 my words1697 in thy mouth.6310
10 See,7200 I have this2088 day3117 set6485 thee over5921 the nations1471 and over5921 the kingdoms,4467 to root out,5428 and to pull down,5422 and to destroy,6 and to throw down,2040 to build,1129 and to plant.5193
11 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559 Jeremiah,3414 what4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 I589 see7200 a rod4731 of an almond tree.8247
12 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Thou hast well3190 seen:7200 for3588 I589 will hasten8245 5921 my word1697 to perform6213 it.
13 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me the second time,8145 saying,559 What4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 I589 see7200 a seething5301 pot;5518 and the face6440 thereof is toward4480 6440 the north.6828
14 Then the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Out of the north4480 6828 an evil7451 shall break forth6605 upon5921 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land.776
15 For,3588 lo,2009 I will call7121 all3605 the families4940 of the kingdoms4467 of the north,6828 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall come,935 and they shall set5414 every one376 his throne3678 at the entering6607 of the gates8179 of Jerusalem,3389 and against5921 all3605 the walls2346 thereof round about,5439 and against5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah.3063
16 And I will utter1696 my judgments4941 against them touching5921 all3605 their wickedness,7451 who834 have forsaken5800 me, and have burned incense6999 unto other312 gods,430 and worshiped7812 the works4639 of their own hands.3027
17 Thou859 therefore gird up247 thy loins,4975 and arise,6965 and speak1696 unto413 them 853 all3605 that834 I595 command6680 thee: be not408 dismayed2865 at their faces,4480 6440 lest6435 I confound2865 thee before6440 them.
18 For,589 behold,2009 I have made5414 thee this day3117 a defensed4013 city,5892 and an iron1270 pillar,5982 and brazen5178 walls2346 against5921 the whole3605 land,776 against the kings4428 of Judah,3063 against the princes8269 thereof, against the priests3548 thereof, and against the people5971 of the land.776
19 And they shall fight3898 against413 thee; but they shall not3808 prevail3201 against thee; for3588 I589 am with854 thee, saith5002 the LORD,3068 to deliver5337 thee.
1 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559
2 Go1980 and cry7121 in the ears241 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 I remember2142 thee, the kindness2617 of thy youth,5271 the love160 of thine espousals,3623 when thou wentest1980 after310 me in the wilderness,4057 in a land776 that was not3808 sown.2232
3 Israel3478 was holiness6944 unto the LORD,3068 and the firstfruits7225 of his increase:8393 all3605 that devour398 him shall offend;816 evil7451 shall come935 upon413 them, saith5002 the LORD.3068
4 Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O house1004 of Jacob,3290 and all3605 the families4940 of the house1004 of Israel:3478
5 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 What4100 iniquity5766 have your fathers1 found4672 in me, that3588 they are gone far7368 from4480 5921 me, and have walked1980 after310 vanity,1892 and are become vain?1891
6 Neither3808 said559 they, Where346 is the LORD3068 that brought us up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 that led1980 us through the wilderness,4057 through a land776 of deserts6160 and of pits,7745 through a land776 of drought,6723 and of the shadow of death,6757 through a land776 that no3808 man376 passed through,5674 and where8033 no3808 man120 dwelt?3427
7 And I brought935 you into413 a plentiful3759 country,776 to eat398 the fruit6529 thereof and the goodness2898 thereof; but when ye entered,935 ye defiled2930 853 my land,776 and made7760 mine heritage5159 an abomination.8441
8 The priests3548 said559 not,3808 Where346 is the LORD?3068 and they that handle8610 the law8451 knew3045 me not:3808 the pastors7462 also transgressed6586 against me, and the prophets5030 prophesied5012 by Baal,1168 and walked1980 after310 things that do not3808 profit.3276
9 Wherefore3651 I will yet5750 plead7378 with854 you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 and with854 your children's1121 children1121 will I plead.7378
10 For3588 pass over5674 the isles339 of Chittim,3794 and see;7200 and send7971 unto Kedar,6938 and consider995 diligently,3966 and see7200 if there be1961 such2063 a thing.
11 Hath a nation1471 changed4171 their gods,430 which1992 are yet no3808 gods?430 but my people5971 have changed4171 their glory3519 for that which doth not3808 profit.3276
12 Be astonished,8074 O ye heavens,8064 at5921 this,2063 and be horribly afraid,8175 be ye very3966 desolate,2717 saith5002 the LORD.3068
13 For3588 my people5971 have committed6213 two8147 evils;7451 they have forsaken5800 me the fountain4726 of living2416 waters,4325 and hewed them out2672 cisterns,877 broken7665 cisterns,877 that834 can hold3557 no3808 water.4325
14 Is Israel3478 a servant?5650 is he1931 a homeborn1004 3211 slave? why4069 is1961 he spoiled?957
15 The young lions3715 roared7580 upon5921 him, and yelled,5414 6963 and they made7896 his land776 waste:8047 his cities5892 are burned3341 without4480 1097 inhabitant.3427
16 Also1571 the children1121 of Noph5297 and Tahapanes8471 have broken7462 the crown of thy head.6936
17 Hast thou not3808 procured6213 this2063 unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken5800 853 the LORD3068 thy God,430 when6256 he led1980 thee by the way?1870
18 And now6258 what4100 hast thou to do in the way1870 of Egypt,4714 to drink8354 the waters4325 of Sihor?7883 or what4100 hast thou to do in the way1870 of Assyria,804 to drink8354 the waters4325 of the river?5104
19 Thine own wickedness7451 shall correct3256 thee, and thy backslidings4878 shall reprove3198 thee: know3045 therefore and see7200 that3588 it is an evil7451 thing and bitter,4751 that thou hast forsaken5800 853 the LORD3068 thy God,430 and that my fear6345 is not3808 in413 thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts.6635
20 For3588 of old time4480 5769 I have broken7665 thy yoke,5923 and burst5423 thy bands;4147 and thou saidst,559 I will not3808 transgress;5674 when3588 upon5921 every3605 high1364 hill1389 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree6086 thou859 wanderest,6808 playing the harlot.2181
21 Yet I595 had planted5193 thee a noble vine,8321 wholly3605 a right571 seed:2233 how349 then art thou turned2015 into the degenerate5494 plant of a strange5237 vine1612 unto me?
22 For3588 though518 thou wash3526 thee with niter,5427 and take thee much7235 soap,1287 yet thine iniquity5771 is marked3799 before6440 me, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
23 How349 canst thou say,559 I am not3808 polluted,2930 I have not3808 gone1980 after310 Baalim?1168 see7200 thy way1870 in the valley,1516 know3045 what4100 thou hast done:6213 thou art a swift7031 dromedary1072 traversing8308 her ways;1870
24 A wild ass6501 used3928 to the wilderness,4057 that snuffeth up7602 the wind7307 at her pleasure;185 5315 in her occasion8385 who4310 can turn her away?7725 all3605 they that seek1245 her will not3808 weary3286 themselves; in her month2320 they shall find4672 her.
25 Withhold4513 thy foot7272 from being unshod,4480 3182 and thy throat1627 from thirst:4480 6773 but thou saidst,559 There is no hope:2976 no;3808 for3588 I have loved157 strangers,2114 and after310 them will I go.1980
26 As the thief1590 is ashamed1322 when3588 he is found,4672 so3651 is the house1004 of Israel3478 ashamed;954 they,1992 their kings,4428 their princes,8269 and their priests,3548 and their prophets,5030
27 Saying559 to a stock,6086 Thou859 art my father;1 and to a stone,68 Thou859 hast brought me forth:3205 for3588 they have turned6437 their back6203 unto413 me, and not3808 their face:6440 but in the time6256 of their trouble7451 they will say,559 Arise,6965 and save3467 us.
28 But where346 are thy gods430 that834 thou hast made6213 thee? let them arise,6965 if518 they can save3467 thee in the time6256 of thy trouble:7451 for3588 according to the number4557 of thy cities5892 are1961 thy gods,430 O Judah.3063
29 Wherefore4100 will ye plead7378 with413 me? ye all3605 have transgressed6586 against me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
30 In vain7723 have I smitten5221 853 your children;1121 they received3947 no3808 correction:4148 your own sword2719 hath devoured398 your prophets,5030 like a destroying7843 lion.738
31 O generation,1755 see7200 ye859 the word1697 of the LORD.3068 Have I been1961 a wilderness4057 unto Israel?3478 a land776 of darkness?3991 wherefore4069 say559 my people,5971 We are lords;7300 we will come935 no3808 more5750 unto413 thee?
32 Can a maid1330 forget7911 her ornaments,5716 or a bride3618 her attire?7196 yet my people5971 have forgotten7911 me days3117 without369 number.4557
33 Why4100 trimmest3190 thou thy way1870 to seek1245 love?160 therefore3651 hast thou also1571 taught3925 853 the wicked ones7451 853 thy ways.1870
34 Also1571 in thy skirts3671 is found4672 the blood1818 of the souls5315 of the poor34 innocents:5355 I have not3808 found4672 it by secret search,4290 but3588 upon5921 all3605 these.428
35 Yet thou sayest,559 Because3588 I am innocent,5352 surely389 his anger639 shall turn7725 from4480 me. Behold,2009 I will plead with8199 thee, because5921 thou sayest,559 I have not3808 sinned.2398
36 Why4100 gaddest235 thou about so much3966 to change8138 853 thy way?1870 thou also1571 shalt be ashamed954 of Egypt,4480 4714 as834 thou wast ashamed954 of Assyria.4480 804
37 Yea,1571 thou shalt go forth3318 from4480 854 him,2088 and thine hands3027 upon5921 thine head:7218 for3588 the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 thy confidences,4009 and thou shalt not3808 prosper6743 in them.
1 They say,559 If2005 a man376 put away7971 853 his wife,802 and she go1980 from4480 854 him, and become1961 another312 man's,376 shall he return7725 unto413 her again?5750 shall not3808 that1931 land776 be greatly polluted?2610 2610 but thou859 hast played the harlot2181 with many7227 lovers;7453 yet return7725 again to413 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
2 Lift up5375 thine eyes5869 unto5921 the high places,8205 and see7200 where375 thou hast not3808 been lain7901 with. In5921 the ways1870 hast thou sat3427 for them, as the Arabian6163 in the wilderness;4057 and thou hast polluted2610 the land776 with thy whoredoms2184 and with thy wickedness.7451
3 Therefore the showers7241 have been withheld,4513 and there hath been1961 no3808 latter rain;4456 and thou hadst a whore's802 2181 forehead,4696 thou refusedst3985 to be ashamed.3637
4 Wilt thou not3808 from this time4480 6258 cry7121 unto me, My father,1 thou859 art the guide441 of my youth?5271
5 Will he reserve5201 his anger forever?5769 will he keep8104 it to the end?5331 Behold,2009 thou hast spoken1696 and done6213 evil things7451 as thou couldest.3201
6 The LORD3068 said559 also unto413 me in the days3117 of Josiah2977 the king,4428 Hast thou seen7200 that which834 backsliding4878 Israel3478 hath done?6213 she1931 is gone up1980 upon5921 every3605 high1364 mountain2022 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree,6086 and there8033 hath played the harlot.2181
7 And I said559 after310 she had done6213 853 all3605 these428 things, Turn7725 thou unto413 me. But she returned7725 not.3808 And her treacherous901 sister269 Judah3063 saw7200 it.
8 And I saw,7200 when3588 for5921 all3605 the causes182 whereby834 backsliding4878 Israel3478 committed adultery5003 I had put her away,7971 and given5414 413 her 853 a bill5612 of divorce;3748 yet her treacherous898 sister269 Judah3063 feared3372 not,3808 but went1980 and played the harlot2181 also.1571
9 And it came to pass1961 through the lightness4480 6963 of her whoredom,2184 that she defiled2610 853 the land,776 and committed adultery5003 with854 stones68 and with854 stocks.6086
10 And yet1571 for all3605 this2063 her treacherous901 sister269 Judah3063 hath not3808 turned7725 unto413 me with her whole3605 heart,3820 but3588 518 feignedly,8267 saith5002 the LORD.3068
11 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, The backsliding4878 Israel3478 hath justified6663 herself5315 more than treacherous4480 898 Judah.3063
12 Go1980 and proclaim7121 853 these428 words1697 toward the north,6828 and say,559 Return,7725 thou backsliding4878 Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will not3808 cause mine anger6440 to fall5307 upon you: for3588 I589 am merciful,2623 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and I will not3808 keep5201 anger forever.5769
13 Only389 acknowledge3045 thine iniquity,5771 that3588 thou hast transgressed6586 against the LORD3068 thy God,430 and hast scattered6340 853 thy ways1870 to the strangers2114 under8478 every3605 green7488 tree,6086 and ye have not3808 obeyed8085 my voice,6963 saith5002 the LORD.3068
14 Turn,7725 O backsliding7726 children,1121 saith5002 the LORD;3068 for3588 I595 am married1166 unto you: and I will take3947 you one259 of a city,4480 5892 and two8147 of a family,4480 4940 and I will bring935 you to Zion:6726
15 And I will give5414 you pastors7462 according to mine heart,3820 which shall feed7462 you with knowledge1844 and understanding.7919
16 And it shall come to pass,1961 when3588 ye be multiplied7235 and increased6509 in the land,776 in those1992 days,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 they shall say559 no3808 more,5750 The ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD:3068 neither3808 shall it come5927 to5921 mind:3820 neither3808 shall they remember2142 it; neither3808 shall they visit6485 it; neither3808 shall that be done6213 any more.5750
17 At that1931 time6256 they shall call7121 Jerusalem3389 the throne3678 of the LORD;3068 and all3605 the nations1471 shall be gathered6960 unto413 it, to the name8034 of the LORD,3068 to Jerusalem:3389 neither3808 shall they walk1980 any more5750 after310 the imagination8307 of their evil7451 heart.3820
18 In those1992 days3117 the house1004 of Judah3063 shall walk1980 with5921 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and they shall come935 together3162 out of the land4480 776 of the north6828 to5921 the land776 that834 I have given for an inheritance5157 unto 853 your fathers.1
19 But I595 said,559 How349 shall I put7896 thee among the children,1121 and give5414 thee a pleasant2532 land,776 a goodly6643 heritage5159 of the hosts6635 of nations?1471 and I said,559 Thou shalt call7121 me, My father;1 and shalt not3808 turn away7725 from4480 310 me.
20 Surely403 as a wife802 treacherously departeth898 from her husband,4480 1167 so3651 have ye dealt treacherously898 with me, O house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD.3068
21 A voice6963 was heard8085 upon5921 the high places,8205 weeping1065 and supplications8469 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 for3588 they have perverted5753 853 their way,1870 and they have forgotten7911 853 the LORD3068 their God.430
22 Return,7725 ye backsliding7726 children,1121 and I will heal7495 your backslidings.4878 Behold,2009 we come857 unto thee; for3588 thou859 art the LORD3068 our God.430
23 Truly403 in vain8267 is salvation hoped for from the hills,4480 1389 and from the multitude1995 of mountains:2022 truly403 in the LORD3068 our God430 is the salvation8668 of Israel.3478
24 For shame1322 hath devoured398 853 the labor3018 of our fathers1 from our youth;4480 5271 853 their flocks6629 and their herds,1241 853 their sons1121 and their daughters.1323
25 We lie down7901 in our shame,1322 and our confusion3639 covereth3680 us: for3588 we have sinned2398 against the LORD3068 our God,430 we587 and our fathers,1 from our youth4480 5271 even unto5704 this2088 day,3117 and have not3808 obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 our God.430
1 If518 thou wilt return,7725 O Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD,3068 return7725 unto413 me: and if518 thou wilt put away5493 thine abominations8251 out of my sight,4480 6440 then shalt thou not3808 remove.5110
2 And thou shalt swear,7650 The LORD3068 liveth,2416 in truth,571 in judgment,4941 and in righteousness;6666 and the nations1471 shall bless themselves1288 in him, and in him shall they glory.1984
3 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 to the men376 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 Break up5214 your fallow ground,5215 and sow2232 not408 among413 thorns.6975
4 Circumcise yourselves4135 to the LORD,3068 and take away5493 the foreskins6190 of your heart,3824 ye men376 of Judah3063 and inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem:3389 lest6435 my fury2534 come forth3318 like fire,784 and burn1197 that none369 can quench3518 it, because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of your doings.4611
5 Declare5046 ye in Judah,3063 and publish8085 in Jerusalem;3389 and say,559 Blow8628 ye the trumpet7782 in the land:776 cry,7121 gather together,4390 and say,559 Assemble yourselves,622 and let us go935 into413 the defensed4013 cities.5892
6 Set up5375 the standard5251 toward Zion:6726 retire,5756 stay5975 not:408 for3588 I595 will bring935 evil7451 from the north,4480 6828 and a great1419 destruction.7667
7 The lion738 is come up5927 from his thicket,4480 5441 and the destroyer7843 of the Gentiles1471 is on his way;5265 he is gone forth3318 from his place4480 4725 to make7760 thy land776 desolate;8047 and thy cities5892 shall be laid waste,5327 without4480 369 an inhabitant.3427
8 For5921 this2063 gird2296 you with sackcloth,8242 lament5594 and howl:3213 for3588 the fierce2740 anger639 of the LORD3068 is not3808 turned back7725 from4480 us.
9 And it shall come to pass1961 at that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that the heart3820 of the king4428 shall perish,6 and the heart3820 of the princes;8269 and the priests3548 shall be astonished,8074 and the prophets5030 shall wonder.8539
10 Then said559 I, Ah,162 Lord136 GOD!3069 surely403 thou hast greatly deceived5377 5377 this2088 people5971 and Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Ye shall have1961 peace;7965 whereas the sword2719 reacheth5060 unto5704 the soul.5315
11 At that1931 time6256 shall it be said559 to this2088 people5971 and to Jerusalem,3389 A dry6703 wind7307 of the high places8205 in the wilderness4057 toward the daughter1323 of my people,5971 not3808 to fan,2219 nor3808 to cleanse,1305
12 Even a full4392 wind7307 from those4480 428 places shall come935 unto me: now6258 also1571 will I589 give1696 sentence4941 against them.
13 Behold,2009 he shall come up5927 as clouds,6051 and his chariots4818 shall be as a whirlwind:5492 his horses5483 are swifter7043 than eagles.4480 5404 Woe188 unto us! for3588 we are spoiled.7703
14 O Jerusalem,3389 wash3526 thine heart3820 from wickedness,4480 7451 that4616 thou mayest be saved.3467 How long5704 4970 shall thy vain205 thoughts4284 lodge3885 within7130 thee?
15 For3588 a voice6963 declareth5046 from Dan,4480 1835 and publisheth8085 affliction205 from mount4480 2022 Ephraim.669
16 Make ye mention2142 to the nations;1471 behold,2009 publish8085 against5921 Jerusalem,3389 that watchers5341 come935 from a far4801 country,4480 776 and give out5414 their voice6963 against5921 the cities5892 of Judah.3063
17 As keepers8104 of a field,7704 are1961 they against5921 her round about;4480 5439 because3588 she hath been rebellious4784 against me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
18 Thy way1870 and thy doings4611 have procured6213 these428 things unto thee; this2063 is thy wickedness,7451 because3588 it is bitter,4751 because3588 it reacheth5060 unto5704 thine heart.3820
19 My bowels,4578 my bowels!4578 I am pained3176 at my very7023 heart;3820 my heart3820 maketh a noise1993 in me; I cannot3808 hold my peace,2790 because3588 thou hast heard,8085 O my soul,5315 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 the alarm8643 of war.4421
20 Destruction7667 upon5921 destruction7667 is cried;7121 for3588 the whole3605 land776 is spoiled:7703 suddenly6597 are my tents168 spoiled,7703 and my curtains3407 in a moment.7281
21 How long5704 4970 shall I see7200 the standard,5251 and hear8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet?7782
22 For3588 my people5971 is foolish,191 they have not3808 known3045 me; they1992 are sottish5530 children,1121 and they1992 have none3808 understanding:995 they1992 are wise2450 to do evil,7489 but to do good3190 they have no3808 knowledge.3045
23 I beheld7200 853 the earth,776 and, lo,2009 it was without form,8414 and void;922 and the heavens,8064 and they had no369 light.216
24 I beheld7200 the mountains,2022 and, lo,2009 they trembled,7493 and all3605 the hills1389 moved lightly.7043
25 I beheld,7200 and, lo,2009 there was no369 man,120 and all3605 the birds5775 of the heavens8064 were fled.5074
26 I beheld,7200 and, lo,2009 the fruitful place3759 was a wilderness,4057 and all3605 the cities5892 thereof were broken down5422 at the presence4480 6440 of the LORD,3068 and by4480 6440 his fierce2740 anger.639
27 For3588 thus3541 hath the LORD3068 said,559 The whole3605 land776 shall be1961 desolate;8077 yet will I not3808 make6213 a full end.3617
28 For5921 this2063 shall the earth776 mourn,56 and the heavens8064 above4480 4605 be black:6937 because5921 3588 I have spoken1696 it, I have purposed2161 it, and will not3808 repent,5162 neither3808 will I turn back7725 from4480 it.
29 The whole3605 city5892 shall flee1272 for the noise4480 6963 of the horsemen6571 and bowmen;7411 7198 they shall go935 into thickets,5645 and climb up5927 upon the rocks:3710 every3605 city5892 shall be forsaken,5800 and not369 a man376 dwell3427 therein.2004
30 And when thou859 art spoiled,7703 what4100 wilt thou do?6213 Though3588 thou clothest3847 thyself with crimson,8144 though3588 thou deckest5710 thee with ornaments5716 of gold,2091 though3588 thou rentest7167 thy face5869 with painting,6320 in vain7723 shalt thou make thyself fair;3302 thy lovers5689 will despise3988 thee, they will seek1245 thy life.5315
31 For3588 I have heard8085 a voice6963 as of a woman in travail,2470 and the anguish6869 as of her that bringeth forth her first child,1069 the voice6963 of the daughter1323 of Zion,6726 that bewaileth herself,3306 that spreadeth6566 her hands,3709 saying, Woe188 is me now!4994 for3588 my soul5315 is wearied5888 because of murderers.2026
1 Run ye to and fro7751 through the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 and see7200 now,4994 and know,3045 and seek1245 in the broad places7339 thereof, if518 ye can find4672 a man,376 if518 there be3426 any that executeth6213 judgment,4941 that seeketh1245 the truth;530 and I will pardon5545 it.
2 And though518 they say,559 The LORD3068 liveth;2416 surely3651 they swear7650 falsely.8267
3 O LORD,3068 are not3808 thine eyes5869 upon the truth?530 thou hast stricken5221 them, but they have not3808 grieved;2342 thou hast consumed3615 them, but they have refused3985 to receive3947 correction:4148 they have made their faces6440 harder2388 than a rock;4480 5553 they have refused3985 to return.7725
4 Therefore I589 said,559 Surely389 these1992 are poor;1800 they are foolish:2973 for3588 they know3045 not3808 the way1870 of the LORD,3068 nor the judgment4941 of their God.430
5 I will get1980 me unto413 the great men,1419 and will speak unto1696 them; for3588 they1992 have known3045 the way1870 of the LORD,3068 and the judgment4941 of their God:430 but389 these1992 have altogether3162 broken7665 the yoke,5923 and burst5423 the bonds.4147
6 Wherefore5921 3651 a lion738 out of the forest4480 3293 shall slay5221 them, and a wolf2061 of the evenings6160 shall spoil7703 them, a leopard5246 shall watch8245 over5921 their cities:5892 every one3605 that goeth out3318 thence4480 2007 shall be torn in pieces:2963 because3588 their transgressions6588 are many,7231 and their backslidings4878 are increased.6105
7 How335 shall I pardon5545 thee for this?2063 thy children1121 have forsaken5800 me, and sworn7650 by them that are no3808 gods:430 when I had fed them to the full,7646 853 they then committed adultery,5003 and assembled themselves1413 by troops in the harlots2181 houses.1004
8 They were1961 as fed2109 horses5483 in the morning:7904 every one376 neighed6670 after413 his neighbor's7453 wife.802
9 Shall I not3808 visit6485 for5921 these428 things? saith5002 the LORD:3068 and518 shall not3808 my soul5315 be avenged5358 on such834 a nation1471 as this?2088
10 Go ye up5927 upon her walls,8284 and destroy;7843 but make6213 not408 a full end:3617 take away5493 her battlements;5189 for3588 they1992 are not3808 the LORD's.3068
11 For3588 the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 have dealt very treacherously898 898 against me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
12 They have belied3584 the LORD,3068 and said,559 It is not3808 he;1931 neither3808 shall evil7451 come935 upon5921 us; neither3808 shall we see7200 sword2719 nor famine:7458
13 And the prophets5030 shall become1961 wind,7307 and the word1699 is not369 in them: thus3541 shall it be done6213 unto them.
14 Wherefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 Because3282 ye speak1696 853 this2088 word,1697 behold,2009 I will make5414 my words1697 in thy mouth6310 fire,784 and this2088 people5971 wood,6086 and it shall devour398 them.
15 Lo,2009 I will bring935 a nation1471 upon5921 you from far,4480 4801 O house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD:3068 it1931 is a mighty386 nation,1471 it1931 is an ancient4480 5769 nation,1471 a nation1471 whose language3956 thou knowest3045 not,3808 neither3808 understandest8085 what4100 they say.1696
16 Their quiver827 is as an open6605 sepulcher,6913 they are all3605 mighty men.1368
17 And they shall eat up398 thine harvest,7105 and thy bread,3899 which thy sons1121 and thy daughters1323 should eat:398 they shall eat up398 thy flocks6629 and thine herds:1241 they shall eat up398 thy vines1612 and thy fig trees:8384 they shall impoverish7567 thy fenced4013 cities,5892 wherein834 thou859 trustedst,982 with the sword.2719
18 Nevertheless1571 in those1992 days,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 I will not3808 make6213 a full end3617 with854 you.
19 And it shall come to pass,1961 when3588 ye shall say,559 Wherefore8478 4100 doeth6213 the LORD3068 our God430 853 all3605 these428 things unto us? then shalt thou answer559 413 them, Like834 as ye have forsaken5800 me, and served5647 strange5236 gods430 in your land,776 so3651 shall ye serve5647 strangers2114 in a land776 that is not3808 yours.
20 Declare5046 this2063 in the house1004 of Jacob,3290 and publish8085 it in Judah,3063 saying,559
21 Hear8085 now4994 this,2063 O foolish5530 people,5971 and without369 understanding;3820 which have eyes,5869 and see7200 not;3808 which have ears,241 and hear8085 not:3808
22 Fear3372 ye not3808 me? saith5002 the LORD:3068 will ye not3808 tremble2342 at my presence,4480 6440 which834 have placed7760 the sand2344 for the bound1366 of the sea3220 by a perpetual5769 decree,2706 that it cannot3808 pass5674 it: and though the waves1530 thereof toss themselves,1607 yet can they not3808 prevail;3201 though they roar,1993 yet can they not3808 pass over5674 it?
23 But this2088 people5971 hath1961 a revolting5637 and a rebellious4784 heart;3820 they are revolted5493 and gone.1980
24 Neither3808 say559 they in their heart,3824 Let us now4994 fear3372 853 the LORD3068 our God,430 that giveth5414 rain,1653 both the former3138 and the latter,4456 in his season:6256 he reserveth8104 unto us the appointed2708 weeks7620 of the harvest.7105
25 Your iniquities5771 have turned away5186 these428 things, and your sins2403 have withheld4513 good2896 things from4480 you.
26 For3588 among my people5971 are found4672 wicked7563 men: they lay wait,7789 as he that setteth7918 snares;3353 they set5324 a trap,4889 they catch3920 men.376
27 As a cage3619 is full4392 of birds,5775 so3651 are their houses1004 full4392 of deceit:4820 therefore5921 3651 they are become great,1431 and waxen rich.6238
28 They are waxen fat,8080 they shine:6245 yea,1571 they overpass5674 the deeds1697 of the wicked:7451 they judge1777 not3808 the cause,1779 the cause1779 of the fatherless,3490 yet they prosper;6743 and the right4941 of the needy34 do they not3808 judge.8199
29 Shall I not3808 visit6485 for5921 these428 things? saith5002 the LORD:3068 shall not3808 my soul5315 be avenged5358 on such834 a nation1471 as this?2088
30 A wonderful8047 and horrible thing8186 is committed1961 in the land;776
31 The prophets5030 prophesy5012 falsely,8267 and the priests3548 bear rule7287 by5921 their means;3027 and my people5971 love157 to have it so:3651 and what4100 will ye do6213 in the end319 thereof?
1 O ye children1121 of Benjamin,1144 gather yourselves to flee5756 out of the midst4480 7130 of Jerusalem,3389 and blow8628 the trumpet7782 in Tekoa,8620 and set up5375 a sign of fire4864 in5921 Beth-haccerem:1021 for3588 evil7451 appeareth8259 out of the north,4480 6828 and great1419 destruction.7667
2 I have likened1819 the daughter1323 of Zion6726 to a comely5000 and delicate6026 woman.
3 The shepherds7462 with their flocks5739 shall come935 unto413 her; they shall pitch8628 their tents168 against5921 her round about;5439 they shall feed7462 every one376 in854 his place.3027
4 Prepare6942 ye war4421 against5921 her; arise,6965 and let us go up5927 at noon.6672 Woe188 unto us! for3588 the day3117 goeth away,6437 for3588 the shadows6752 of the evening6153 are stretched out.5186
5 Arise,6965 and let us go5927 by night,3915 and let us destroy7843 her palaces.759
6 For3588 thus3541 hath the LORD3068 of hosts6635 said,559 Hew ye down3772 trees,6097 and cast8210 a mount5550 against5921 Jerusalem:3389 this1931 is the city5892 to be visited;6485 she is wholly3605 oppression6233 in the midst7130 of her.
7 As a fountain953 casteth out6979 her waters,4325 so3651 she casteth6979 out her wickedness:7451 violence2555 and spoil7701 is heard8085 in her; before5921 6440 me continually8548 is grief2483 and wounds.4347
8 Be thou instructed,3256 O Jerusalem,3389 lest6435 my soul5315 depart3363 from4480 thee; lest6435 I make7760 thee desolate,8077 a land776 not3808 inhabited.3427
9 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 They shall throughly glean5953 5953 the remnant7611 of Israel3478 as a vine:1612 turn back7725 thine hand3027 as a grape gatherer1219 into5921 the baskets.5552
10 To5921 whom4310 shall I speak,1696 and give warning,5749 that they may hear?8085 behold,2009 their ear241 is uncircumcised,6189 and they cannot3201 3808 hearken:7181 behold,2009 the word1697 of the LORD3068 is1961 unto them a reproach;2781 they have no3808 delight2654 in it.
11 Therefore I am full4392 of854 the fury2534 of the LORD;3068 I am weary3811 with holding3557 in: I will pour it out8210 upon5921 the children5768 abroad,2351 and upon5921 the assembly5475 of young men970 together:3162 for3588 even1571 the husband376 with5973 the wife802 shall be taken,3920 the aged2205 with5973 him that is full4390 of days.3117
12 And their houses1004 shall be turned5437 unto others,312 with their fields7704 and wives802 together:3162 for3588 I will stretch out5186 853 my hand3027 upon5921 the inhabitants3427 of the land,776 saith5002 the LORD.3068
13 For3588 from the least4480 6996 of them even unto5704 the greatest1419 of them every one3605 is given to1214 covetousness;1215 and from the prophet4480 5030 even unto5704 the priest3548 every one3605 dealeth6213 falsely.8267
14 They have healed7495 also 853 the hurt7667 of the daughter of my people5971 slightly,5921 7043 saying,559 Peace,7965 peace;7965 when there is no369 peace.7965
15 Were they ashamed954 when3588 they had committed6213 abomination?8441 nay,1571 they were not3808 at all ashamed,954 954 neither3808 could3045 they blush:3637 therefore3651 they shall fall5307 among them that fall:5307 at the time6256 that I visit6485 them they shall be cast down,3782 saith559 the LORD.3068
16 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Stand5975 ye in5921 the ways,1870 and see,7200 and ask7592 for the old5769 paths,5410 where335 2088 is the good2896 way,1870 and walk1980 therein, and ye shall find4672 rest4771 for your souls.5315 But they said,559 We will not3808 walk1980 therein.
17 Also I set6965 watchmen6822 over5921 you, saying, Hearken7181 to the sound6963 of the trumpet.7782 But they said,559 We will not3808 hearken.7181
18 Therefore3651 hear,8085 ye nations,1471 and know,3045 O congregation,5712 853 what834 is among them.
19 Hear,8085 O earth:776 behold,2009 I595 will bring935 evil7451 upon413 this2088 people,5971 even the fruit6529 of their thoughts,4284 because3588 they have not3808 hearkened7181 unto5921 my words,1697 nor to my law,8451 but rejected3988 it.
20 To what4100 purpose2088 cometh935 there to me incense3828 from Sheba,4480 7614 and the sweet2896 cane7070 from a far4801 country?4480 776 your burnt offerings5930 are not3808 acceptable,7522 nor3808 your sacrifices2077 sweet6149 unto me.
21 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will lay5414 stumblingblocks4383 before413 this2088 people,5971 and the fathers1 and the sons1121 together3162 shall fall3782 upon them; the neighbor7934 and his friend7453 shall perish.6
22 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 a people5971 cometh935 from the north6828 country,4480 776 and a great1419 nation1471 shall be raised5782 from the sides4480 3411 of the earth.776
23 They shall lay hold2388 on bow7198 and spear;3591 they1931 are cruel,394 and have no3808 mercy;7355 their voice6963 roareth1993 like the sea;3220 and they ride7392 upon5921 horses,5483 set in array6186 as men376 for war4421 against5921 thee, O daughter1323 of Zion.6726
24 We have heard8085 853 the fame8089 thereof: our hands3027 wax feeble:7503 anguish6869 hath taken hold2388 of us, and pain,2427 as of a woman in travail.3205
25 Go not forth408 3318 into the field,7704 nor408 walk1980 by the way;1870 for3588 the sword2719 of the enemy341 and fear4032 is on every side.4480 5439
26 O daughter1323 of my people,5971 gird2296 thee with sackcloth,8242 and wallow thyself6428 in ashes:665 make6213 thee mourning,60 as for an only son,3173 most bitter8563 lamentation:4553 for3588 the spoiler7703 shall suddenly6597 come935 upon5921 us.
27 I have set5414 thee for a tower969 and a fortress4013 among my people,5971 that thou mayest know3045 and try974 853 their way.1870
28 They are all3605 grievous5493 revolters,5637 walking1980 with slanders:7400 they are brass5178 and iron;1270 they1992 are all3605 corrupters.7843
29 The bellows4647 are burned,2787 the lead5777 is consumed8552 of the fire;4480 784 the founder6884 melteth6884 in vain:7723 for the wicked7451 are not3808 plucked away.5423
30 Reprobate3988 silver3701 shall men call7121 them, because3588 the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 them.
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Stand5975 in the gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and proclaim7121 there8033 853 this2088 word,1697 and say,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 ye of Judah,3063 that enter935 in at these428 gates8179 to worship7812 the LORD.3068
3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 Amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings,4611 and I will cause you to dwell7931 in this2088 place.4725
4 Trust982 ye not408 in413 lying8267 words,1697 saying,559 The temple1964 of the LORD,3068 The temple1964 of the LORD,3068 The temple1964 of the LORD,3068 are these.1992
5 For3588 if518 ye throughly amend3190 3190 853 your ways1870 and your doings;4611 if518 ye throughly execute6213 6213 judgment4941 between996 a man376 and his neighbor;7453
6 If ye oppress6231 not3808 the stranger,1616 the fatherless,3490 and the widow,490 and shed8210 not408 innocent5355 blood1818 in this2088 place,4725 neither3808 walk1980 after310 other312 gods430 to your hurt:7451
7 Then will I cause you to dwell7931 in this2088 place,4725 in the land776 that834 I gave5414 to your fathers,1 forever4480 5769 and ever.5704 5769
8 Behold,2009 ye859 trust982 in5921 lying8267 words,1697 that cannot1115 profit.3276
9 Will ye steal,1589 murder,7523 and commit adultery,5003 and swear7650 falsely,8267 and burn incense6999 unto Baal,1168 and walk1980 after310 other312 gods430 whom834 ye know3045 not;3808
10 And come935 and stand5975 before6440 me in this2088 house,1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 and say,559 We are delivered to do5337 4616 6213 853 all3605 these428 abominations?8441
11 Is this2088 house,1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 become1961 a den4631 of robbers6530 in your eyes?5869 Behold,2009 even1571 I595 have seen7200 it, saith5002 the LORD.3068
12 But3588 go1980 ye now4994 unto413 my place4725 which834 was in Shiloh,7887 where834 I set7931 my name8034 at the first,7223 and see7200 853 what834 I did6213 to it for4480 6440 the wickedness7451 of my people5971 Israel.3478
13 And now,6528 because3282 ye have done6213 853 all3605 these428 works,4639 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and I spoke1696 unto413 you, rising up early7925 and speaking,1696 but ye heard8085 not;3808 and I called7121 you, but ye answered6030 not;3808
14 Therefore will I do6213 unto this house,1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 wherein834 ye859 trust,982 and unto the place4725 which834 I gave5414 to you and to your fathers,1 as834 I have done6213 to Shiloh.7887
15 And I will cast7993 you out of4480 5921 my sight,6440 as834 I have cast out7993 853 all3605 your brethren,251 853 even the whole3605 seed2233 of Ephraim.669
16 Therefore pray6419 not408 thou859 for1157 this2088 people,5971 neither408 lift up5375 cry7440 nor prayer8605 for1157 them, neither408 make intercession6293 to me: for3588 I will not369 hear8085 thee.
17 Seest7200 thou not369 what4100 they1992 do6213 in the cities5892 of Judah3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem?3389
18 The children1121 gather3950 wood,6086 and the fathers1 kindle1197 853 the fire,784 and the women802 knead3888 their dough,1217 to make6213 cakes3561 to the queen4446 of heaven,8064 and to pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto other312 gods,430 that4616 they may provoke me to anger.3707
19 Do they1992 provoke me to anger?3707 853 saith5002 the LORD:3068 do they not3808 provoke themselves to4616 the confusion1322 of their own faces?6440
20 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold,2009 mine anger639 and my fury2534 shall be poured out5413 upon413 this2088 place,4725 upon5921 man,120 and upon5921 beast,929 and upon5921 the trees6086 of the field,7704 and upon5921 the fruit6529 of the ground;127 and it shall burn,1197 and shall not3808 be quenched.3518
21 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Put5595 your burnt offerings5930 unto5921 your sacrifices,2077 and eat398 flesh.1320
22 For3588 I spoke1696 not3808 unto 853 your fathers,1 nor3808 commanded6680 them in the day3117 that I brought3318 them out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 concerning5921 1697 burnt offerings5930 or sacrifices:2077
23 But3588 518 853 this2088 thing1697 commanded6680 I them, saying,559 Obey8085 my voice,6963 and I will be1961 your God,430 and ye859 shall be1961 my people:5971 and walk1980 ye in all3605 the ways1870 that834 I have commanded6680 you, that4616 it may be well3190 unto you.
24 But they hearkened8085 not,3808 nor3808 inclined5186 853 their ear,241 but walked1980 in the counsels4156 and in the imagination8307 of their evil7451 heart,3820 and went1961 backward,268 and not3808 forward.6440
25 Since4480 the day3117 that834 your fathers1 came forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 unto5704 this2088 day3117 I have even sent7971 unto413 you 853 all3605 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 daily3117 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them:
26 Yet they hearkened8085 not3808 unto413 me, nor3808 inclined5186 853 their ear,241 but hardened7185 853 their neck:6203 they did worse7489 than their fathers.4480 1
27 Therefore thou shalt speak1696 853 all3605 these428 words1697 unto413 them; but they will not3808 hearken8085 to413 thee: thou shalt also call7121 unto413 them; but they will not3808 answer6030 thee.
28 But thou shalt say559 unto413 them, This2088 is a nation1471 that834 obeyeth8085 not3808 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 their God,430 nor3808 receiveth3947 correction:4148 truth530 is perished,6 and is cut off3772 from their mouth.4480 6310
29 Cut off1494 thine hair,5145 O Jerusalem, and cast it away,7993 and take up5375 a lamentation7015 on5921 high places;8205 for3588 the LORD3068 hath rejected3988 and forsaken5203 853 the generation1755 of his wrath.5678
30 For3588 the children1121 of Judah3063 have done6213 evil7451 in my sight,5869 saith5002 the LORD:3068 they have set7760 their abominations8251 in the house1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 to pollute2930 it.
31 And they have built1129 the high places1116 of Tophet,8612 which834 is in the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 to burn8313 853 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 in the fire;784 which834 I commanded6680 them not,3808 neither3808 came5927 it into5921 my heart.3820
32 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that it shall no3808 more5750 be called559 Tophet,8612 nor the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 but3588 518 the valley1516 of slaughter:2028 for they shall bury6912 in Tophet,8612 till there be no4480 369 place.4725
33 And the carcasses5038 of this2088 people5971 shall be1961 meat3978 for the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and for the beasts929 of the earth;776 and none369 shall frighten them away.2729
34 Then will I cause to cease7673 from the cities4480 5892 of Judah,3063 and from the streets4480 2351 of Jerusalem,3389 the voice6963 of mirth,8342 and the voice6963 of gladness,8057 the voice6963 of the bridegroom,2860 and the voice6963 of the bride:3618 for3588 the land776 shall be1961 desolate.2723
1 At that1931 time,6256 saith5002 the LORD,3068 they shall bring out3318 853 the bones6106 of the kings4428 of Judah,3063 and the bones6106 of his princes,8269 and the bones6106 of the priests,3548 and the bones6106 of the prophets,5030 and the bones6106 of the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 out of their graves:4480 6913
2 And they shall spread7849 them before the sun,8121 and the moon,3394 and all3605 the host6635 of heaven,8064 whom834 they have loved,157 and whom834 they have served,5647 and after310 whom834 they have walked,1980 and whom834 they have sought,1875 and whom834 they have worshiped:7812 they shall not3808 be gathered,622 nor3808 be buried;6912 they shall be1961 for dung1828 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth.127
3 And death4194 shall be chosen977 rather than life4480 2416 by all3605 the residue7611 of them that remain7604 of4480 this2063 evil7451 family,4940 which remain7604 in all3605 the places4725 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
4 Moreover thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Shall they fall,5307 and not3808 arise?6965 shall he turn away,7725 and not3808 return?7725
5 Why4069 then is this2088 people5971 of Jerusalem3389 slid back7725 by a perpetual5329 backsliding?4878 they hold fast2388 deceit,8649 they refuse3985 to return.7725
6 I hearkened7181 and heard,8085 but they spoke1696 not3808 aright:3651 no369 man376 repented5162 him of5921 his wickedness,7451 saying,559 What4100 have I done?6213 every one3605 turned7725 to his course,4794 as the horse5483 rusheth7857 into the battle.4421
7 Yea,1571 the stork2624 in the heaven8064 knoweth3045 her appointed times;4150 and the turtle8449 and the crane5483 and the swallow5693 observe8104 853 the time6256 of their coming;935 but my people5971 know3045 not3808 853 the judgment4941 of the LORD.3068
8 How349 do ye say,559 We587 are wise,2450 and the law8451 of the LORD3068 is with854 us? Lo,2009 certainly403 in vain8267 made6213 he it; the pen5842 of the scribes5608 is in vain.8267
9 The wise2450 men are ashamed,954 they are dismayed2865 and taken:3920 lo,2009 they have rejected3988 the word1697 of the LORD;3068 and what4100 wisdom2451 is in them?
10 Therefore3651 will I give5414 853 their wives802 unto others,312 and their fields7704 to them that shall inherit3423 them: for3588 every one3605 from the least4480 6996 even unto5704 the greatest1419 is given to covetousness,1214 1215 from the prophet4480 5030 even unto5704 the priest3548 every one3605 dealeth6213 falsely.8267
11 For they have healed7495 853 the hurt7667 of the daughter1323 of my people5971 slightly,7043 saying,559 Peace,7965 peace;7965 when there is no369 peace.7965
12 Were they ashamed954 when3588 they had committed6213 abomination?8441 nay,1571 they were not3808 at all ashamed,954 954 neither3808 could3045 they blush:3637 therefore3651 shall they fall5307 among them that fall:5307 in the time6256 of their visitation6486 they shall be cast down,3782 saith559 the LORD.3068
13 I will surely consume5486 5486 them, saith5002 the LORD:3068 there shall be no369 grapes6025 on the vine,1612 nor369 figs8384 on the fig tree,8384 and the leaf5929 shall fade;5034 and the things that I have given5414 them shall pass away5674 from them.
14 Why4100 5921 do we587 sit3427 still? assemble yourselves,622 and let us enter935 into413 the defensed4013 cities,5892 and let us be silent1826 there:8033 for3588 the LORD3068 our God430 hath put us to silence,1826 and given us water4325 of gall7219 to drink,8248 because3588 we have sinned2398 against the LORD.3068
15 We looked6960 for peace,7965 but no369 good2896 came; and for a time6256 of health,4832 and behold2009 trouble!1205
16 The snorting5170 of his horses5483 was heard8085 from Dan:4480 1835 the whole3605 land776 trembled7493 at the sound4480 6963 of the neighing4684 of his strong ones;47 for they are come,935 and have devoured398 the land,776 and all4393 that is in it; the city,5892 and those that dwell3427 therein.
17 For,3588 behold,2009 I will send7971 serpents,5175 cockatrices,6848 among you, which834 will not369 be charmed,3908 and they shall bite5391 you, saith5002 the LORD.3068
18 When I would comfort4010 myself against5921 sorrow,3015 my heart3820 is faint1742 in5921 me.
19 Behold2009 the voice6963 of the cry7775 of the daughter1323 of my people5971 because of them that dwell in a far4801 country:4480 776 Is not369 the LORD3068 in Zion?6726 is not369 her king4428 in her? Why4069 have they provoked me to anger3707 with their graven images,6456 and with strange5236 vanities?1892
20 The harvest7105 is past,5674 the summer7019 is ended,3615 and we587 are not3808 saved.3467
21 For5921 the hurt7667 of the daughter1323 of my people5971 am I hurt;7665 I am black;6937 astonishment8047 hath taken hold2388 on me.
22 Is there no369 balm6875 in Gilead;1568 is there no369 physician7495 there?8033 why4069 then3588 is not3808 the health724 of the daughter1323 of my people5971 recovered?5927
1 Oh that4310 my head7218 were5414 waters,4325 and mine eyes5869 a fountain4726 of tears,1832 that I might weep1058 day3119 and night3915 for5921 the slain2491 of the daughter1323 of my people!5971
2 Oh that I had4310 5414 in the wilderness4057 a lodging place4411 of wayfaring men;732 that I might leave5800 853 my people,5971 and go1980 from4480 854 them! for3588 they be all3605 adulterers,5003 an assembly6116 of treacherous men.898
3 And they bend1869 853 their tongues3956 like their bow7198 for lies:8267 but they are not3808 valiant1396 for the truth530 upon the earth;776 for3588 they proceed3318 from evil4480 7451 to413 evil,7451 and they know3045 not3808 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
4 Take ye heed8104 every one376 of his neighbor,4480 7453 and trust982 ye not408 in5921 any3605 brother:251 for3588 every3605 brother251 will utterly supplant,6117 6117 and every3605 neighbor7453 will walk1980 with slanders.7400
5 And they will deceive2048 every one376 his neighbor,7453 and will not3808 speak1696 the truth:571 they have taught3925 their tongue3956 to speak1696 lies,8267 and weary themselves3811 to commit iniquity.5753
6 Thine habitation3427 is in the midst8432 of deceit;4820 through deceit4820 they refuse3985 to know3045 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
7 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Behold,2009 I will melt6884 them, and try974 them; for3588 how349 shall I do6213 for4480 6440 the daughter1323 of my people?5971
8 Their tongue3956 is as an arrow2671 shot out;7819 it speaketh1696 deceit:4820 one speaketh1696 peaceably7965 to854 his neighbor7453 with his mouth,6310 but in heart7130 he layeth7760 his wait.696
9 Shall I not3808 visit6485 them for5921 these428 things? saith5002 the LORD:3068 shall not3808 my soul5315 be avenged5358 on such834 a nation1471 as this?2088
10 For5921 the mountains2022 will I take up5375 a weeping1065 and wailing,5092 and for5921 the habitations4999 of the wilderness4057 a lamentation,7015 because3588 they are burned up,3341 so that none4480 1097 376 can pass through5674 them; neither3808 can men hear8085 the voice6963 of the cattle;4735 both the fowl4480 5775 of the heavens8064 and the beast929 are fled;5074 they are gone.1980
11 And I will make5414 853 Jerusalem3389 heaps,1530 and a den4583 of dragons;8577 and I will make5414 the cities5892 of Judah3063 desolate,8077 without4480 1097 an inhabitant.3427
12 Who4310 is the wise2450 man,376 that may understand995 853 this?2063 and who is he to413 whom the mouth6310 of the LORD3068 hath spoken,1696 that he may declare5046 it, for5921 what4100 the land776 perisheth6 and is burned up3341 like a wilderness,4057 that none4480 1097 passeth through?5674
13 And the LORD3068 saith,559 Because5921 they have forsaken5800 853 my law8451 which834 I set5414 before6440 them, and have not3808 obeyed8085 my voice,6963 neither3808 walked1980 therein;
14 But have walked1980 after310 the imagination8307 of their own heart,3820 and after310 Baalim,1168 which834 their fathers1 taught3925 them:
15 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will feed398 them, even 853 this2088 people,5971 with wormwood,3939 and give them water4325 of gall7219 to drink.8248
16 I will scatter6327 them also among the heathen,1471 whom834 neither3808 they1992 nor their fathers1 have known:3045 and I will send7971 853 a sword2719 after310 them, till5704 I have consumed3615 them.
17 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Consider995 ye, and call7121 for the mourning women,6969 that they may come;935 and send7971 for413 cunning2450 women, that they may come:935
18 And let them make haste,4116 and take up5375 a wailing5092 for5921 us, that our eyes5869 may run down3381 with tears,1832 and our eyelids6079 gush out5140 with waters.4325
19 For3588 a voice6963 of wailing5092 is heard8085 out of Zion,4480 6726 How349 are we spoiled!7703 we are greatly3966 confounded,954 because3588 we have forsaken5800 the land,776 because3588 our dwellings4908 have cast us out.7993
20 Yet3588 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O ye women,802 and let your ear241 receive3947 the word1697 of his mouth,6310 and teach3925 your daughters1323 wailing,5092 and every one802 her neighbor7468 lamentation.7015
21 For3588 death4194 is come up5927 into our windows,2474 and is entered935 into our palaces,759 to cut off3772 the children5768 from without,4480 2351 and the young men970 from the streets.4480 7339
22 Speak,1696 Thus3541 saith5002 the LORD,3068 Even the carcasses5038 of men120 shall fall5307 as dung1828 upon5921 the open6440 field,7704 and as the handful5995 after4480 310 the harvest man,7114 and none369 shall gather622 them.
23 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Let not408 the wise2450 man glory1984 in his wisdom,2451 neither408 let the mighty1368 man glory1984 in his might,1369 let not408 the rich6223 man glory1984 in his riches:6239
24 But3588 518 let him that glorieth1984 glory1984 in this,2063 that he understandeth7919 and knoweth3045 me, that3588 I589 am the LORD3068 which exercise6213 lovingkindness,2617 judgment,4941 and righteousness,6666 in the earth:776 for3588 in these428 things I delight,2654 saith5002 the LORD.3068
25 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will punish6485 5921 all3605 them which are circumcised4135 with the uncircumcised;6190
26 Egypt,4714 and Judah,3063 and Edom,123 and the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and Moab,4124 and all3605 that are in the utmost7112 corners,6285 that dwell3427 in the wilderness:4057 for3588 all3605 these nations1471 are uncircumcised,6189 and all3605 the house1004 of Israel3478 are uncircumcised6189 in the heart.3820
1 Hear8085 ye 853 the word1697 which834 the LORD3068 speaketh1696 unto5921 you, O house1004 of Israel:3478
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Learn3925 not408 the way1870 of the heathen,1471 and be not408 dismayed2865 at the signs4480 226 of heaven;8064 for3588 the heathen1471 are dismayed2865 at them.4480 1992
3 For3588 the customs2708 of the people5971 are vain:1892 for3588 one cutteth3772 a tree6086 out of the forest,4480 3293 the work4639 of the hands3027 of the workman,2796 with the axe.4621
4 They deck3302 it with silver3701 and with gold;2091 they fasten2388 it with nails4548 and with hammers,4717 that it move6328 not.3808
5 They1992 are upright4749 as the palm tree,8560 but speak1696 not:3808 they must needs be borne,5375 5375 because3588 they cannot3808 go.6805 Be not408 afraid3372 of4480 them; for3588 they cannot3808 do evil,7489 neither369 also1571 is it in854 them to do good.3190
6 Forasmuch as there is none4480 369 like unto thee,3644 O LORD;3068 thou859 art great,1419 and thy name8034 is great1419 in might.1369
7 Who4310 would not3808 fear3372 thee, O King4428 of nations?1471 for3588 to thee doth it appertain:2969 forasmuch3588 as among all3605 the wise2450 men of the nations,1471 and in all3605 their kingdoms,4438 there is none4480 369 like unto thee.3644
8 But they are altogether259 brutish1197 and foolish:3688 the stock6086 is a doctrine4148 of vanities.1892
9 Silver3701 spread into plates7554 is brought935 from Tarshish,4480 8659 and gold2091 from Uphaz,4480 210 the work4639 of the workman,2796 and of the hands3027 of the founder:6884 blue8504 and purple713 is their clothing:3830 they are all3605 the work4639 of cunning2450 men.
10 But the LORD3068 is the true571 God,430 he1931 is the living2416 God,430 and an everlasting5769 king:4428 at his wrath4480 7110 the earth776 shall tremble,7493 and the nations1471 shall not3808 be able to abide3557 his indignation.2195
11 Thus1836 shall ye say560 unto them, The gods426 that1768 have not3809 made5648 the heavens8065 and the earth,778 even they shall perish7 from the earth,4481 772 and from4481 under8460 these429 heavens.8065
12 He hath made6213 the earth776 by his power,3581 he hath established3559 the world8398 by his wisdom,2451 and hath stretched out5186 the heavens8064 by his discretion.8394
13 When he uttereth5414 his voice,6963 there is a multitude1995 of waters4325 in the heavens,8064 and he causeth the vapors5387 to ascend5927 from the ends4480 7097 of the earth;776 he maketh6213 lightnings1300 with rain,4306 and bringeth forth3318 the wind7307 out of his treasures.4480 214
14 Every3605 man120 is brutish1197 in his knowledge:4480 1847 every3605 founder6884 is confounded3001 by the graven image:4480 6459 for3588 his molten image5262 is falsehood,8267 and there is no3808 breath7307 in them.
15 They1992 are vanity,1892 and the work4639 of errors:8595 in the time6256 of their visitation6486 they shall perish.6
16 The portion2506 of Jacob3290 is not3808 like them:428 for3588 he1931 is the former3335 of all3605 things; and Israel3478 is the rod7626 of his inheritance:5159 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034
17 Gather up622 thy wares3666 out of the land,4480 776 O inhabitant3427 of the fortress.4693
18 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will sling out7049 853 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 at this2063 once,6471 and will distress6887 them, that4616 they may find4672 it so.
19 Woe188 is me for5921 my hurt!7667 my wound4347 is grievous:2470 but I589 said,559 Truly389 this2088 is a grief,2483 and I must bear5375 it.
20 My tabernacle168 is spoiled,7703 and all3605 my cords4340 are broken:5423 my children1121 are gone forth3318 of me, and they are not:369 there is none369 to stretch forth5186 my tent168 any more,5750 and to set up6965 my curtains.3407
21 For3588 the pastors7462 are become brutish,1197 and have not3808 sought1875 the LORD:3068 therefore5921 3651 they shall not3808 prosper,7919 and all3605 their flocks4830 shall be scattered.6327
22 Behold,2009 the noise6963 of the bruit8052 is come,935 and a great1419 commotion7494 out of the north country,4480 776 6828 to make7760 853 the cities5892 of Judah3063 desolate,8077 and a den4583 of dragons.8577
23 O LORD,3068 I know3045 that3588 the way1870 of man120 is not3808 in himself: it is not3808 in man376 that walketh1980 to direct3559 853 his steps.6806
24 O LORD,3068 correct3256 me, but with389 judgment;4941 not408 in thine anger,639 lest6435 thou bring me to nothing.4591
25 Pour out8210 thy fury2534 upon5921 the heathen1471 that834 know3045 thee not,3808 and upon5921 the families4940 that834 call7121 not3808 on thy name:8034 for3588 they have eaten up398 853 Jacob,3290 and devoured398 him, and consumed3615 him, and have made his habitation5116 desolate.8074
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Hear8085 ye 853 the words1697 of this2063 covenant,1285 and speak1696 unto413 the men376 of Judah,3063 and to5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389
3 And say559 thou unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel;3478 Cursed779 be the man376 that834 obeyeth8085 not3808 853 the words1697 of this2063 covenant,1285
4 Which834 I commanded6680 853 your fathers1 in the day3117 that I brought them forth3318 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 from the iron1270 furnace,4480 3564 saying,559 Obey8085 my voice,6963 and do6213 them, according to all3605 which834 I command6680 you: so shall ye be1961 my people,5971 and I595 will be1961 your God:430
5 That4616 I may perform6965 853 the oath7621 which834 I have sworn7650 unto your fathers,1 to give5414 them a land776 flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey,1706 as it is this2088 day.3117 Then answered6030 I, and said,559 So be it,543 O LORD.3068
6 Then the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Proclaim7121 853 all3605 these428 words1697 in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Hear8085 ye 853 the words1697 of this2063 covenant,1285 and do6213 them.
7 For3588 I earnestly protested5749 5749 unto your fathers1 in the day3117 that I brought them up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 even unto5704 this2088 day,3117 rising early7925 and protesting,5749 saying,559 Obey8085 my voice.6963
8 Yet they obeyed8085 not,3808 nor3808 inclined5186 853 their ear,241 but walked1980 every one376 in the imagination8307 of their evil7451 heart:3820 therefore I will bring935 upon5921 them 853 all3605 the words1697 of this2063 covenant,1285 which834 I commanded6680 them to do;6213 but they did6213 them not.3808
9 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, A conspiracy7195 is found4672 among the men376 of Judah,3063 and among the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem.3389
10 They are turned back7725 to5921 the iniquities5771 of their forefathers,7223 1 which834 refused3985 to hear8085 853 my words;1697 and they1992 went1980 after310 other312 gods430 to serve5647 them: the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 have broken6565 853 my covenant1285 which834 I made3772 with854 their fathers.1
11 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will bring935 evil7451 upon413 them, which834 they shall not3808 be able3201 to escape;3318 4480 and though they shall cry2199 unto413 me, I will not3808 hearken8085 unto413 them.
12 Then shall the cities5892 of Judah3063 and inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 go,1980 and cry2199 unto413 the gods430 unto whom834 they1992 offer incense:6999 but they shall not3808 save them at all3467 3467 in the time6256 of their trouble.7451
13 For3588 according to the number4557 of thy cities5892 were1961 thy gods,430 O Judah;3063 and according to the number4557 of the streets2351 of Jerusalem3389 have ye set up7760 altars4196 to that shameful thing,1322 even altars4196 to burn incense6999 unto Baal.1168
14 Therefore pray6419 not408 thou859 for1157 this2088 people,5971 neither408 lift up5375 a cry7440 or prayer8605 for1157 them: for3588 I589 will not369 hear8085 them in the time6256 that they cry7121 unto413 me for1157 their trouble.7451
15 What4100 hath my beloved3039 to do in mine house,1004 seeing she hath wrought6213 lewdness4209 with many,7227 and the holy6944 flesh1320 is passed5674 from4480 5921 thee? when3588 thou doest evil,7451 then227 thou rejoicest.5937
16 The LORD3068 called7121 thy name,8034 A green7488 olive tree,2132 fair,3303 and of goodly8389 fruit:6529 with the noise6963 of a great1419 tumult1999 he hath kindled3341 fire784 upon5921 it, and the branches1808 of it are broken.7489
17 For the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that planted5193 thee, hath pronounced1696 evil7451 against5921 thee, for1588 the evil7451 of the house1004 of Israel3478 and of the house1004 of Judah,3063 which834 they have done6213 against themselves to provoke me to anger3707 in offering incense6999 unto Baal.1168
18 And the LORD3068 hath given me knowledge3045 of it, and I know3045 it: then227 thou showedst7200 me their doings.4611
19 But I589 was like a lamb3532 or an ox441 that is brought2986 to the slaughter;2873 and I knew3045 not3808 that3588 they had devised2803 devices4284 against5921 me, saying, Let us destroy7843 the tree6086 with the fruit3899 thereof, and let us cut him off3772 from the land4480 776 of the living,2416 that his name8034 may be no3808 more5750 remembered.2142
20 But, O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that judgest8199 righteously,6664 that triest974 the reins3629 and the heart,3820 let me see7200 thy vengeance5360 on4480 them: for3588 unto413 thee have I revealed1540 853 my cause.7379
21 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of5921 the men376 of Anathoth,6068 that seek1245 853 thy life,5315 saying,559 Prophesy5012 not3808 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 that thou die4191 not3808 by our hand:3027
22 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 5921 them: the young men970 shall die4191 by the sword;2719 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 shall die4191 by famine:7458
23 And there shall be1961 no3808 remnant7611 of them: for3588 I will bring935 evil7451 upon413 the men376 of Anathoth,6068 even the year8141 of their visitation.6486
1 Righteous6662 art thou,859 O LORD,3068 when3588 I plead7378 with413 thee: yet389 let me talk1696 with854 thee of thy judgments:4941 Wherefore4069 doth the way1870 of the wicked7563 prosper?6743 wherefore are all3605 they happy7951 that deal very treacherously?898 899
2 Thou hast planted5193 them, yea,1571 they have taken root:8327 they grow,1980 yea,1571 they bring forth6213 fruit:6529 thou859 art near7138 in their mouth,6310 and far7350 from their reins.4480 3629
3 But thou,859 O LORD,3068 knowest3045 me: thou hast seen7200 me, and tried974 mine heart3820 toward854 thee: pull them out5423 like sheep6629 for the slaughter,2878 and prepare6942 them for the day3117 of slaughter.2028
4 How long5704 4970 shall the land776 mourn,56 and the herbs6212 of every3605 field7704 wither,3001 for the wickedness4480 7451 of them that dwell3427 therein? the beasts929 are consumed,5595 and the birds;5775 because3588 they said,559 He shall not3808 see7200 853 our last end.319
5 If3588 thou hast run7323 with854 the footmen,7273 and they have wearied3811 thee, then how349 canst thou contend8474 with854 horses?5483 and if in the land776 of peace,7965 wherein thou859 trustedst,982 they wearied thee, then how349 wilt thou do6213 in the swelling1347 of Jordan?3383
6 For3588 even1571 thy brethren,251 and the house1004 of thy father,1 even1571 they1992 have dealt treacherously898 with thee; yea,1571 they1992 have called7121 a multitude4392 after310 thee: believe539 them not,408 though3588 they speak1696 fair words2896 unto413 thee.
7 I have forsaken5800 853 mine house,1004 I have left5203 853 mine heritage;5159 I have given5414 853 the dearly beloved3039 of my soul5315 into the hand3709 of her enemies.341
8 Mine heritage5159 is1961 unto me as a lion738 in the forest;3293 it crieth out5414 6963 against5921 me: therefore5921 3651 have I hated8130 it.
9 Mine heritage5159 is unto me as a speckled6641 bird,5861 the birds5861 round about5439 are against5921 her; come1980 ye, assemble622 all3605 the beasts2416 of the field,7704 come857 to devour.402
10 Many7227 pastors7462 have destroyed7843 my vineyard,3754 they have trodden my portion under foot,947 853 2513 they have made5414 853 my pleasant2532 portion2513 a desolate8077 wilderness.4057
11 They have made7760 it desolate,8077 and being desolate8076 it mourneth56 unto5921 me; the whole3605 land776 is made6213 desolate,8074 because3588 no369 man376 layeth7760 it to5921 heart.3820
12 The spoilers7703 are come935 upon5921 all3605 high places8205 through the wilderness:4057 for3588 the sword2719 of the LORD3068 shall devour398 from the one end4480 7097 of the land776 even to5704 the other end7097 of the land:776 no369 3605 flesh1320 shall have peace.7965
13 They have sown2232 wheat,2406 but shall reap7114 thorns:6975 they have put themselves to pain,2470 but shall not3808 profit:3276 and they shall be ashamed954 of your revenues4480 8393 because of the fierce4480 2740 anger639 of the LORD.3068
14 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 against5921 all3605 mine evil7451 neighbors,7934 that touch5060 the inheritance5159 which834 I have caused 853 my people5971 853 Israel3478 to inherit;5157 Behold,2009 I will pluck them out5428 of4480 5921 their land,127 and pluck out5428 the house1004 of Judah3063 from among4480 8432 them.
15 And it shall come to pass,1961 after that310 I have plucked them out5428 853 I will return,7725 and have compassion7355 on them, and will bring them again,7725 every man376 to his heritage,5159 and every man376 to his land.776
16 And it shall come to pass,1961 if518 they will diligently learn3925 3925 853 the ways1870 of my people,5971 to swear7650 by my name,8034 The LORD3068 liveth;2416 as834 they taught3925 853 my people5971 to swear7650 by Baal;1168 then shall they be built1129 in the midst8432 of my people.5971
17 But if518 they will not3808 obey,8085 I will utterly pluck up5428 5428 and destroy6 853 that1931 nation,1471 saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Go1980 and get7069 thee a linen6593 girdle,232 and put7760 it upon5921 thy loins,4975 and put935 it not3808 in water.4325
2 So I got7069 853 a girdle232 according to the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and put7760 it on5921 my loins.4975
3 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me the second time,8145 saying,559
4 Take3947 853 the girdle232 that834 thou hast got,7069 which834 is upon5921 thy loins,4975 and arise,6965 go1980 to Euphrates,6578 and hide2934 it there8033 in a hole5357 of the rock.5553
5 So I went,1980 and hid2934 it by Euphrates,6578 as834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 me.
6 And it came to pass1961 after4480 7093 many7227 days,3117 that the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Arise,6965 go1980 to Euphrates,6578 and take3947 853 the girdle232 from thence,4480 8033 which834 I commanded6680 thee to hide2934 there.8033
7 Then I went1980 to Euphrates,6578 and digged,2658 and took3947 853 the girdle232 from4480 the place4725 where834 8033 I had hid2934 it: and, behold,2009 the girdle232 was marred,7843 it was profitable6743 for nothing.3808 3605
8 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
9 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 After this manner3602 will I mar7843 the pride1347 of Judah,3063 and the great7227 pride1347 of Jerusalem.3389
10 This2088 evil7451 people,5971 which refuse3987 to hear8085 853 my words,1697 which walk1980 in the imagination8307 of their heart,3820 and walk1980 after310 other312 gods,430 to serve5647 them, and to worship7812 them, shall even be1961 as this2088 girdle,232 which834 is good6743 for nothing.3808 3605
11 For3588 as834 the girdle232 cleaveth1692 to413 the loins4975 of a man,376 so3651 have I caused to cleave1692 unto413 me 853 the whole3605 house1004 of Israel3478 and the whole3605 house1004 of Judah,3063 saith5002 the LORD;3068 that they might be1961 unto me for a people,5971 and for a name,8034 and for a praise,8416 and for a glory:8597 but they would not3808 hear.8085
12 Therefore thou shalt speak559 unto413 them 853 this2088 word;1697 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine:3196 and they shall say559 unto413 thee, Do we not3808 certainly know3045 3045 that3588 every3605 bottle5035 shall be filled4390 with wine?3196
13 Then shalt thou say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will fill4390 853 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of this2063 land,776 even the kings4428 that sit3427 upon5921 David's1732 throne,3678 and the priests,3548 and the prophets,5030 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 with drunkenness.7943
14 And I will dash5310 them one376 against413 another,251 even the fathers1 and the sons1121 together,3162 saith5002 the LORD:3068 I will not3808 pity,2550 nor3808 spare,2347 nor3808 have mercy,7355 but destroy4480 7843 them.
15 Hear8085 ye, and give ear;238 be not408 proud:1361 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken.1696
16 Give5414 glory3519 to the LORD3068 your God,430 before2962 he cause darkness,2821 and before2962 your feet7272 stumble5062 upon5921 the dark5399 mountains,2022 and, while ye look6960 for light,216 he turn7760 it into the shadow of death,6757 and make7896 it gross darkness.6205
17 But if518 ye will not3808 hear8085 it, my soul5315 shall weep1058 in secret places4565 for4480 6440 your pride;1466 and mine eye5869 shall weep sore,1830 1830 and run down3381 with tears,1832 because3588 the LORD's3068 flock5739 is carried away captive.7617
18 Say559 unto the king4428 and to the queen,1377 Humble yourselves,8213 sit down:3427 for3588 your principalities4761 shall come down,3381 even the crown5850 of your glory.8597
19 The cities5892 of the south5045 shall be shut up,5462 and none369 shall open6605 them: Judah3063 shall be carried away captive1540 all3605 of it, it shall be wholly7965 carried away captive.1540
20 Lift up5375 your eyes,5869 and behold7200 them that come935 from the north:4480 6828 where346 is the flock5739 that was given5414 thee, thy beautiful8597 flock?6629
21 What4100 wilt thou say559 when3588 he shall punish6485 5921 thee? for thou859 hast taught3925 them to be captains,441 and as chief7218 over5921 thee: shall not3808 sorrows2256 take270 thee, as3644 a woman802 in travail?3205
22 And if3588 thou say559 in thine heart,3824 Wherefore4069 come7122 these things428 upon me? For the greatness7230 of thine iniquity5771 are thy skirts7757 discovered,1540 and thy heels6119 made bare.2554
23 Can the Ethiopian3569 change2015 his skin,5785 or the leopard5246 his spots?2272 then may3201 ye859 also1571 do good,3190 that are accustomed3928 to do evil.7489
24 Therefore will I scatter6327 them as the stubble7179 that passeth away5674 by the wind7307 of the wilderness.4057
25 This2088 is thy lot,1486 the portion4490 of thy measures4055 from4480 854 me, saith5002 the LORD;3068 because834 thou hast forgotten7911 me, and trusted982 in falsehood.8267
26 Therefore1571 will I589 discover2834 thy skirts7757 upon5921 thy face,6440 that thy shame7036 may appear.7200
27 I have seen7200 thine adulteries,5004 and thy neighings,4684 the lewdness2154 of thy whoredom,2184 and thine abominations8251 on5921 the hills1389 in the fields.7704 Woe188 unto thee, O Jerusalem!3389 wilt thou not3808 be made clean?2891 when310 shall it once5750 be?
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 concerning5921 1697 the dearth.1226
2 Judah3063 mourneth,56 and the gates8179 thereof languish;535 they are black6937 unto the ground;776 and the cry6682 of Jerusalem3389 is gone up.5927
3 And their nobles117 have sent7971 their little ones6810 to the waters:4325 they came935 to5921 the pits,1356 and found4672 no3808 water;4325 they returned7725 with their vessels3627 empty;7387 they were ashamed954 and confounded,3637 and covered2645 their heads.7218
4 Because5668 the ground127 is chapped,2865 for3588 there was1961 no3808 rain1653 in the earth,776 the plowmen406 were ashamed,954 they covered2645 their heads.7218
5 Yea,1571 the hind365 also calved3205 in the field,7704 and forsook5800 it, because3588 there was1961 no3808 grass.1877
6 And the wild asses6501 did stand5975 in5921 the high places,8205 they snuffed up7602 the wind7307 like dragons;8577 their eyes5869 did fail,3615 because3588 there was no369 grass.6212
7 O LORD,3068 though518 our iniquities5771 testify6030 against us, do6213 thou it for thy name's sake:4616 8034 for3588 our backslidings4878 are many;7231 we have sinned2398 against thee.
8 O the hope4723 of Israel,3478 the savior3467 thereof in time6256 of trouble,6869 why4100 shouldest thou be1961 as a stranger1616 in the land,776 and as a wayfaring man732 that turneth aside5186 to tarry3885 for a night?
9 Why4100 shouldest thou be1961 as a man376 astonished,1724 as a mighty man1368 that cannot3201 3808 save?3467 yet thou,859 O LORD,3068 art in the midst7130 of us, and we are called7121 by thy name;8034 leave5117 us not.408
10 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto this2088 people,5971 Thus3651 have they loved157 to wander,5128 they have not3808 refrained2820 their feet,7272 therefore the LORD3068 doth not3808 accept7521 them; he will now6258 remember2142 their iniquity,5771 and visit6485 their sins.2403
11 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Pray6419 not408 for1157 this2088 people5971 for their good.2896
12 When3588 they fast,6684 I will not369 hear8085 413 their cry;7440 and when3588 they offer5927 burnt offering5930 and an oblation,4503 I will not369 accept7521 them: but3588 I595 will consume3615 them by the sword,2719 and by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence.1698
13 Then said559 I, Ah,162 Lord136 GOD!3069 behold,2009 the prophets5030 say559 unto them, Ye shall not3808 see7200 the sword,2719 neither3808 shall ye have1961 famine;7458 but3588 I will give5414 you assured571 peace7965 in this2088 place.4725
14 Then the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, The prophets5030 prophesy5012 lies8267 in my name:8034 I sent7971 them not,3808 neither3808 have I commanded6680 them, neither3808 spoke1696 unto413 them: they1992 prophesy5012 unto you a false8267 vision2377 and divination,7081 and a thing of naught,434 and the deceit8649 of their heart.3820
15 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning5921 the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 in my name,8034 and I589 sent7971 them not,3808 yet they1992 say,559 Sword2719 and famine7458 shall not3808 be1961 in this2063 land;776 By sword2719 and famine7458 shall those1992 prophets5030 be consumed.8552
16 And the people5971 to whom834 they1992 prophesy5012 shall be1961 cast out7993 in the streets2351 of Jerusalem3389 because4480 6440 of the famine7458 and the sword;2719 and they shall have none369 to bury6912 them,1992 them,1992 their wives,802 nor their sons,1121 nor their daughters:1323 for I will pour8210 853 their wickedness7451 upon5921 them.
17 Therefore thou shalt say559 853 this2088 word1697 unto413 them; Let mine eyes5869 run down3381 with tears1832 night3915 and day,3119 and let them not408 cease:1820 for3588 the virgin1330 daughter1323 of my people5971 is broken7665 with a great1419 breach,7667 with a very3966 grievous2470 blow.4347
18 If518 I go forth3318 into the field,7704 then behold2009 the slain2491 with the sword!2719 and if518 I enter935 into the city,5892 then behold2009 them that are sick8463 with famine!7458 yea,3588 both1571 the prophet5030 and1571 the priest3548 go about5503 into413 a land776 that they know3045 not.3808
19 Hast thou utterly rejected3988 3988 853 Judah?3063 hath thy soul5315 loathed1602 Zion?6726 why4069 hast thou smitten5221 us, and there is no369 healing4832 for us? we looked6960 for peace,7965 and there is no369 good;2896 and for the time6256 of healing,4832 and behold2009 trouble!1205
20 We acknowledge,3045 O LORD,3068 our wickedness,7562 and the iniquity5771 of our fathers:1 for3588 we have sinned2398 against thee.
21 Do not408 abhor5006 us, for thy name's sake,4616 8034 do not408 disgrace5034 the throne3678 of thy glory:3519 remember,2142 break6565 not408 thy covenant1285 with854 us.
22 Are there3426 any among the vanities1892 of the Gentiles1471 that can cause rain?1652 or518 can the heavens8064 give5414 showers?7241 art not3808 thou859 he,1931 O LORD3068 our God?430 therefore we will wait6960 upon thee: for3588 thou859 hast made6213 853 all3605 these428 things.
1 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, Though518 Moses4872 and Samuel8050 stood5975 before6440 me, yet my mind5315 could not369 be toward413 this2088 people:5971 cast7971 them out of4480 5921 my sight,6440 and let them go forth.3318
2 And it shall come to pass,1961 if3588 they say559 unto413 thee, Whither575 shall we go forth?3318 then thou shalt tell559 413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Such as834 are for death,4194 to death;4194 and such as834 are for the sword,2719 to the sword;2719 and such as834 are for the famine,7458 to the famine;7458 and such as834 are for the captivity,7628 to the captivity.7628
3 And I will appoint6485 over5921 them four702 kinds,4940 saith5002 the LORD:3068 853 the sword2719 to slay,2026 and the dogs3611 to tear,5498 and the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and the beasts929 of the earth,776 to devour398 and destroy.7843
4 And I will cause5414 them to be removed2189 into all3605 kingdoms4467 of the earth,776 because of1558 Manasseh4519 the son1121 of Hezekiah3169 king4428 of Judah,3063 for5921 that which834 he did6213 in Jerusalem.3389
5 For3588 who4310 shall have pity2550 upon5921 thee, O Jerusalem?3389 or who4310 shall bemoan5110 thee? or who4310 shall go aside5493 to ask7592 how thou doest?7965
6 Thou859 hast forsaken5203 me, saith5002 the LORD,3068 thou art gone1980 backward:268 therefore will I stretch out5186 853 my hand3027 against5921 thee, and destroy7843 thee; I am weary3811 with repenting.5162
7 And I will fan2219 them with a fan4214 in the gates8179 of the land;776 I will bereave7921 them of children, I will destroy6 853 my people,5971 since they return7725 not3808 from their ways.4480 1870
8 Their widows490 are increased6105 to me above the sand4480 2344 of the seas:3220 I have brought935 upon them against5921 the mother517 of the young men970 a spoiler7703 at noonday:6672 I have caused him to fall5307 upon5921 it suddenly,6597 and terrors928 upon the city.5892
9 She that hath borne3205 seven7651 languisheth:535 she hath given up5301 the ghost;5315 her sun8121 is gone down935 while5750 it was yet day:3119 she hath been ashamed954 and confounded:2659 and the residue7611 of them will I deliver5414 to the sword2719 before6440 their enemies,341 saith5002 the LORD.3068
10 Woe188 is me, my mother,517 that3588 thou hast borne3205 me a man376 of strife7379 and a man376 of contention4066 to the whole3605 earth!776 I have neither3808 lent on usury,5383 nor3808 men have lent to me on usury;5383 yet every one3605 of them doth curse7043 me.
11 The LORD3068 said,559 Verily518 3808 it shall be well2896 with thy remnant;7611 verily518 3808 I will cause 853 the enemy341 to entreat6293 thee well in the time6256 of evil7451 and in the time6256 of affliction.6869
12 Shall iron1270 break7489 the northern4480 6828 iron1270 and the steel?5178
13 Thy substance2428 and thy treasures214 will I give5414 to the spoil957 without3808 price,4242 and that for all3605 thy sins,2403 even in all3605 thy borders.1366
14 And I will make thee to pass5674 with854 thine enemies341 into a land776 which thou knowest3045 not:3808 for3588 a fire784 is kindled6919 in mine anger,639 which shall burn3344 upon5921 you.
15 O LORD,3068 thou859 knowest:3045 remember2142 me, and visit6485 me, and revenge5358 me of my persecutors;4480 7291 take3947 me not408 away in thy longsuffering:750 639 know3045 that for5921 thy sake I have suffered5375 rebuke.2781
16 Thy words1697 were found,4672 and I did eat398 them; and thy word1697 was1961 unto me the joy8342 and rejoicing8057 of mine heart:3824 for3588 I am called7121 by5921 thy name,8034 O LORD3068 God430 of hosts.6635
17 I sat3427 not3808 in the assembly5475 of the mockers,7832 nor rejoiced;5937 I sat3427 alone910 because4480 6440 of thy hand:3027 for3588 thou hast filled4390 me with indignation.2195
18 Why4100 is1961 my pain3511 perpetual,5331 and my wound4347 incurable,605 which refuseth3985 to be healed?7495 wilt thou be altogether1961 1961 unto me as3644 a liar,391 and as waters4325 that fail?3808 539
19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 If518 thou return,7725 then will I bring thee again,7725 and thou shalt stand5975 before6440 me: and if518 thou take forth3318 the precious3368 from the vile,4480 2151 thou shalt be1961 as my mouth:6310 let them return7725 unto413 thee; but return7725 not3808 thou859 unto413 them.
20 And I will make5414 thee unto this2088 people5971 a fenced1219 brazen5178 wall:2346 and they shall fight3898 against413 thee, but they shall not3808 prevail3201 against thee: for3588 I589 am with854 thee to save3467 thee and to deliver5337 thee, saith5002 the LORD.3068
21 And I will deliver5337 thee out of the hand4480 3027 of the wicked,7451 and I will redeem6299 thee out of the hand4480 3709 of the terrible.6184
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 also unto413 me, saying,559
2 Thou shalt not3808 take3947 thee a wife,802 neither3808 shalt thou have1961 sons1121 or daughters1323 in this2088 place.4725
3 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning5921 the sons1121 and concerning5921 the daughters1323 that are born3209 in this2088 place,4725 and concerning5921 their mothers517 that bore3205 them, and concerning5921 their fathers1 that begot3205 them in this2088 land;776
4 They shall die4191 of grievous8463 deaths;4463 they shall not3808 be lamented;5594 neither3808 shall they be buried;6912 but they shall be as dung1828 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth:127 and they shall be1961 consumed3615 by the sword,2719 and by famine;7458 and their carcasses5038 shall be meat3978 for the fowls5775 of heaven,8064 and for the beasts929 of the earth.776
5 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Enter935 not408 into the house1004 of mourning,4798 neither408 go1980 to lament5594 nor408 bemoan5110 them: for3588 I have taken away622 853 my peace7965 from4480 854 this2088 people,5971 saith5002 the LORD,3068 even 853 lovingkindness2617 and mercies.7356
6 Both the great1419 and the small6996 shall die4191 in this2063 land:776 they shall not3808 be buried,6912 neither3808 shall men lament5594 for them: nor3808 cut themselves,1413 nor3808 make themselves bald7139 for them:
7 Neither3808 shall men tear6536 themselves for them in5921 mourning,60 to comfort5162 them for5921 the dead;4191 neither3808 shall men give them the cup3563 of consolation8575 to drink8248 for5921 their father1 or for5921 their mother.517
8 Thou shalt not3808 also go935 into the house1004 of feasting,4960 to sit3427 with854 them to eat398 and to drink.8354
9 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will cause to cease7673 out of4480 this2088 place4725 in your eyes,5869 and in your days,3117 the voice6963 of mirth,8342 and the voice6963 of gladness,8057 the voice6963 of the bridegroom,2860 and the voice6963 of the bride.3618
10 And it shall come to pass,1961 when3588 thou shalt show5046 this2088 people5971 853 all3605 these428 words,1697 and they shall say559 unto413 thee, Wherefore5921 4100 hath the LORD3068 pronounced1696 853 all3605 this2063 great1419 evil7451 against5921 us? or what4100 is our iniquity?5771 or what4100 is our sin2403 that834 we have committed2398 against the LORD3068 our God?430
11 Then shalt thou say559 unto413 them, Because5921 834 your fathers1 have forsaken5800 me, saith5002 the LORD,3068 and have walked1980 after310 other312 gods,430 and have served5647 them, and have worshiped7812 them, and have forsaken5800 me, and have not3808 kept8104 my law;8451
12 And ye859 have done6213 worse7489 than your fathers;4480 1 for, behold,2009 ye walk1980 every one376 after310 the imagination8307 of his evil7451 heart,3820 that they may not1115 hearken8085 unto413 me:
13 Therefore will I cast2904 you out of4480 5921 this2063 land776 into5921 a land776 that834 ye know3045 not,3808 neither ye859 nor your fathers;1 and there8033 shall ye serve5647 853 other312 gods430 day3119 and night;3915 where834 I will not3808 show5414 you favor.2594
14 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that it shall no3808 more5750 be said,559 The LORD3068 liveth,2416 that834 brought up5927 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt;4714
15 But,3588 518 The LORD3068 liveth,2416 that834 brought up5927 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 from the land4480 776 of the north,6828 and from all4480 3605 the lands776 whither834 8033 he had driven5080 them: and I will bring them again7725 into5921 their land127 that834 I gave5414 unto their fathers.1
16 Behold,2009 I will send7971 for many7227 fishers,1771 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and they shall fish1770 them; and after310 3651 will I send7971 for many7227 hunters,6719 and they shall hunt6679 them from4480 5921 every3605 mountain,2022 and from4480 5921 every3605 hill,1389 and out of the holes4480 5357 of the rocks.5553
17 For3588 mine eyes5869 are upon5921 all3605 their ways:1870 they are not3808 hid5641 from my face,4480 6440 neither3808 is their iniquity5771 hid6845 from4480 5048 mine eyes.5869
18 And first7223 I will recompense7999 their iniquity5771 and their sin2403 double;4932 because5921 they have defiled2490 853 my land,776 they have filled4390 853 mine inheritance5159 with the carcasses5038 of their detestable8251 and abominable things.8441
19 O LORD,3068 my strength,5797 and my fortress,4581 and my refuge4498 in the day3117 of affliction,6869 the Gentiles1471 shall come935 unto413 thee from the ends4480 657 of the earth,776 and shall say,559 Surely389 our fathers1 have inherited5157 lies,8267 vanity,1892 and things wherein there is no369 profit.3276
20 Shall a man120 make6213 gods430 unto himself, and they1992 are no3808 gods?430
21 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 I will this2063 once6471 cause them to know,3045 I will cause them to know3045 853 mine hand3027 and my might;1369 and they shall know3045 that3588 my name8034 is The LORD.3068
1 The sin2403 of Judah3063 is written3789 with a pen5842 of iron,1270 and with the point6856 of a diamond:8068 it is graven2790 upon5921 the table3871 of their heart,3820 and upon the horns7161 of your altars;4196
2 Whilst their children1121 remember2142 their altars4196 and their groves842 by5921 the green7488 trees6086 upon5921 the high1364 hills.1389
3 O my mountain2042 in the field,7704 I will give5414 thy substance2428 and all3605 thy treasures214 to the spoil,957 and thy high places1116 for sin,2403 throughout all3605 thy borders.1366
4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue8058 from thine heritage4480 5159 that834 I gave5414 thee; and I will cause thee to serve5647 853 thine enemies341 in the land776 which834 thou knowest3045 not:3808 for3588 ye have kindled6919 a fire784 in mine anger,639 which shall burn3344 forever.5704 5769
5 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Cursed779 be the man1397 that834 trusteth982 in man,120 and maketh7760 flesh1320 his arm,2220 and whose heart3820 departeth5493 from4480 the LORD.3068
6 For he shall be1961 like the heath6176 in the desert,6160 and shall not3808 see7200 when3588 good2896 cometh;935 but shall inhabit7931 the parched places2788 in the wilderness,4057 in a salt4420 land776 and not3808 inhabited.3427
7 Blessed1288 is the man1397 that834 trusteth982 in the LORD,3068 and whose hope4009 the LORD3068 is.1961
8 For he shall be1961 as a tree6086 planted8362 by5921 the waters,4325 and that spreadeth out7971 her roots8328 by5921 the river,3105 and shall not3808 see7200 when3588 heat2527 cometh,935 but her leaf5929 shall be1961 green;7488 and shall not3808 be careful1672 in the year8141 of drought,1226 neither3808 shall cease4185 from yielding4480 6213 fruit.6529
9 The heart3820 is deceitful6121 above all4480 3605 things, and desperately wicked:605 who4310 can know3045 it?
10 I589 the LORD3068 search2713 the heart,3820 I try974 the reins,3629 even to give5414 every man376 according to his ways,1870 and according to the fruit6529 of his doings.4611
11 As the partridge7124 sitteth1716 on eggs, and hatcheth3205 them not;3808 so he that getteth6213 riches,6239 and not3808 by right,4941 shall leave5800 them in the midst2677 of his days,3117 and at his end319 shall be1961 a fool.5036
12 A glorious3519 high4791 throne3678 from the beginning4480 7223 is the place4725 of our sanctuary.4720
13 O LORD,3068 the hope4723 of Israel,3478 all3605 that forsake5800 thee shall be ashamed,954 and they that depart from3249 me shall be written3789 in the earth,776 because3588 they have forsaken5800 853 the LORD,3068 the fountain4726 of living2416 waters.4325
14 Heal7495 me, O LORD,3068 and I shall be healed;7495 save3467 me, and I shall be saved:3467 for3588 thou859 art my praise.8416
15 Behold,2009 they1992 say559 unto413 me, Where346 is the word1697 of the LORD?3068 let it come935 now.4994
16 As for me, I589 have not3808 hastened213 from being a pastor4480 7462 to follow310 thee: neither3808 have I desired183 the woeful605 day;3117 thou859 knowest:3045 that which came4161 out of6440 my lips8193 was1961 right before5227 6440 thee.
17 Be1961 not408 a terror4288 unto me: thou859 art my hope4268 in the day3117 of evil.7451
18 Let them be confounded954 that persecute7291 me, but let not408 me589 be confounded:954 let them1992 be dismayed,2865 but let not408 me589 be dismayed:2865 bring935 upon5921 them the day3117 of evil,7451 and destroy7665 them with double4932 destruction.7670
19 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me; Go1980 and stand5975 in the gate8179 of the children1121 of the people,5971 whereby834 the kings4428 of Judah3063 come in,935 and by the which834 they go out,3318 and in all3605 the gates8179 of Jerusalem;3389
20 And say559 unto413 them, Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye kings4428 of Judah,3063 and all3605 Judah,3063 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 that enter in935 by these428 gates:8179
21 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Take heed8104 to yourselves,5315 and bear5375 no408 burden4853 on the sabbath7676 day,3117 nor bring it in935 by the gates8179 of Jerusalem;3389
22 Neither3808 carry forth3318 a burden4853 out of your houses4480 1004 on the sabbath7676 day,3117 neither3808 do6213 ye any3605 work,4399 but hallow6942 ye 853 the sabbath7676 day,3117 as834 I commanded6680 your fathers.1
23 But they obeyed8085 not,3808 neither3808 inclined5186 853 their ear,241 but made 853 their neck6203 stiff,7185 that they might not1115 hear,8085 nor1115 receive3947 instruction.4148
24 And it shall come to pass,1961 if518 ye diligently hearken8085 8085 unto413 me, saith5002 the LORD,3068 to bring in935 no1115 burden4853 through the gates8179 of this2063 city5892 on the sabbath7676 day,3117 but hallow6942 853 the sabbath7676 day,3117 to do6213 no1115 3605 work4399 therein;
25 Then shall there enter935 into the gates8179 of this2063 city5892 kings4428 and princes8269 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 riding7392 in chariots7393 and on horses,5483 they,1992 and their princes,8269 the men376 of Judah,3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem:3389 and this2063 city5892 shall remain3427 forever.5769
26 And they shall come935 from the cities4480 5892 of Judah,3063 and from the places about4480 5439 Jerusalem,3389 and from the land4480 776 of Benjamin,1144 and from4480 the plain,8219 and from4480 the mountains,2022 and from4480 the south,5045 bringing935 burnt offerings,5930 and sacrifices,2077 and meat offerings,4503 and incense,3828 and bringing935 sacrifices of praise,8426 unto the house1004 of the LORD.3068
27 But if518 ye will not3808 hearken8085 unto413 me to hallow6942 853 the sabbath7676 day,3117 and not1115 to bear5375 a burden,4853 even entering935 in at the gates8179 of Jerusalem3389 on the sabbath7676 day;3117 then will I kindle3341 a fire784 in the gates8179 thereof, and it shall devour398 the palaces759 of Jerusalem,3389 and it shall not3808 be quenched.3518
1 The word1697 which834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Arise,6965 and go down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and there8033 I will cause thee to hear8085 853 my words.1697
3 Then I went down3381 to the potter's3335 house,1004 and, behold,2009 he wrought6213 a work4399 on5921 the wheels.70
4 And the vessel3627 that834 he1931 made6213 of clay2563 was marred7843 in the hand3027 of the potter:3335 so he made6213 it again7725 another312 vessel,3627 as834 seemed5869 good3474 to the potter3335 to make6213 it.
5 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 me, saying,559
6 O house1004 of Israel,3478 cannot3808 3201 I do6213 with you as this2088 potter?3335 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Behold,2009 as the clay2563 is in the potter's3335 hand,3027 so3651 are ye859 in mine hand,3027 O house1004 of Israel.3478
7 At what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to pluck up,5428 and to pull down,5422 and to destroy6 it;
8 If that1931 nation,1471 against5921 whom834 I have pronounced,1696 turn7725 from their evil,4480 7451 I will repent5162 of5921 the evil7451 that834 I thought2803 to do6213 unto them.
9 And at what instant7281 I shall speak1696 concerning5921 a nation,1471 and concerning5921 a kingdom,4467 to build1129 and to plant5193 it;
10 If it do6213 evil7451 in my sight,5869 that it obey8085 not1115 my voice,6963 then I will repent5162 of5921 the good,2896 wherewith834 I said559 I would benefit3190 them.
11 Now6258 therefore go4994 to, speak559 to413 the men376 of Judah,3063 and to5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I595 frame3335 evil7451 against5921 you, and devise2803 a device4284 against5921 you: return7725 ye now4994 every one376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 and make your ways1870 and your doings4611 good.3190
12 And they said,559 There is no hope:2976 but3588 we will walk1980 after310 our own devices,4284 and we will every one376 do6213 the imagination8307 of his evil7451 heart.3820
13 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Ask7592 ye now4994 among the heathen,1471 who4310 hath heard8085 such428 things: the virgin1330 of Israel3478 hath done6213 a very3966 horrible thing.8186
14 Will a man leave5800 the snow7950 of Lebanon3844 which cometh from the rock4480 6697 of the field?7704 or shall the cold7119 flowing5140 waters4325 that come from another place2114 be forsaken?5428
15 Because3588 my people5971 hath forgotten7911 me, they have burned incense6999 to vanity,7723 and they have caused them to stumble3782 in their ways1870 from the ancient5769 paths,7635 to walk1980 in paths,5410 in a way1870 not3808 cast up;5549
16 To make7760 their land776 desolate,8047 and a perpetual5769 hissing;8292 every one3605 that passeth5674 thereby5921 shall be astonished,8074 and wag5110 his head.7218
17 I will scatter6327 them as with an east6921 wind7307 before6440 the enemy;341 I will show7200 them the back,6203 and not3808 the face,6440 in the day3117 of their calamity.343
18 Then said559 they, Come,1980 and let us devise2803 devices4284 against5921 Jeremiah;3414 for3588 the law8451 shall not3808 perish6 from the priest,4480 3548 nor counsel6098 from the wise,4480 2450 nor the word1697 from the prophet.4480 5030 Come,1980 and let us smite5221 him with the tongue,3956 and let us not408 give heed7181 to413 any3605 of his words.1697
19 Give heed7181 to413 me, O LORD,3068 and hearken8085 to the voice6963 of them that contend3401 with me.
20 Shall evil7451 be recompensed7999 for8478 good?2896 for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 for my soul.5315 Remember2142 that I stood5975 before6440 thee to speak1696 good2896 for5921 them, and to turn away7725 853 thy wrath2534 from4480 them.
21 Therefore3651 deliver up5414 853 their children1121 to the famine,7458 and pour out5064 their blood by5921 the force3027 of the sword;2719 and let their wives802 be1961 bereaved of their children,7909 and be widows;490 and let their men376 be1961 put2026 to death;4194 let their young men970 be slain5221 by the sword2719 in battle.4421
22 Let a cry2201 be heard8085 from their houses,4480 1004 when3588 thou shalt bring935 a troop1416 suddenly6597 upon5921 them: for3588 they have digged3738 a pit7745 to take3920 me, and hid2934 snares6341 for my feet.7272
23 Yet, LORD,3068 thou859 knowest3045 853 all3605 their counsel6098 against5921 me to slay4194 me: forgive3722 not408 their iniquity,5771 neither408 blot out4229 their sin2403 from thy sight,4480 6440 but let them be1961 overthrown3782 before6440 thee; deal6213 thus with them in the time6256 of thine anger.639
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Go1980 and get7069 a potter's3335 earthen2789 bottle,1228 and take of the ancients4480 2205 of the people,5971 and of the ancients4480 2205 of the priests;3548
2 And go forth3318 unto413 the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 which834 is by the entry6607 of the east2777 gate,8179 and proclaim7121 there8033 853 the words1697 that834 I shall tell1696 413 thee,
3 And say,559 Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O kings4428 of Judah,3063 and inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will bring935 evil7451 upon5921 this2088 place,4725 the which834 whosoever3605 heareth,8085 his ears241 shall tingle.6750
4 Because3282 834 they have forsaken5800 me, and have estranged5234 853 this2088 place,4725 and have burned incense6999 in it unto other312 gods,430 whom834 neither3808 they1992 nor their fathers1 have known,3045 nor the kings4428 of Judah,3063 and have filled4390 853 this2088 place4725 with the blood1818 of innocents;5355
5 They have built1129 also 853 the high places1116 of Baal,1168 to burn8313 853 their sons1121 with fire784 for burnt offerings5930 unto Baal,1168 which834 I commanded6680 not,3808 nor3808 spoke1696 it, neither3808 came5927 it into5921 my mind:3820
6 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that this2088 place4725 shall no3808 more5750 be called7121 Tophet,8612 nor The valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 but3588 518 The valley1516 of slaughter.2028
7 And I will make void1238 853 the counsel6098 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem3389 in this2088 place;4725 and I will cause them to fall5307 by the sword2719 before6440 their enemies,341 and by the hands3027 of them that seek1245 their lives:5315 and 853 their carcasses5038 will I give5414 to be meat3978 for the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and for the beasts929 of the earth.776
8 And I will make7760 853 this2063 city5892 desolate,8047 and a hissing;8322 every one3605 that passeth5674 thereby5921 shall be astonished8074 and hiss8319 because5921 of all3605 the plagues4347 thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat398 853 the flesh1320 of their sons1121 and the flesh1320 of their daughters,1323 and they shall eat398 every one376 the flesh1320 of his friend7453 in the siege4692 and straitness,4689 wherewith834 their enemies,341 and they that seek1245 their lives,5315 shall straiten6693 them.
10 Then shalt thou break7665 the bottle1228 in the sight5869 of the men376 that go1980 with854 thee,
11 And shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Even so3602 will I break7665 853 this2088 people5971 and this2063 city,5892 as834 one breaketh7665 853 a potter's3335 vessel,3627 that834 cannot3201 3808 be made whole7495 again:5750 and they shall bury6912 them in Tophet,8612 till there be no4480 369 place4725 to bury.6912
12 Thus3651 will I do6213 unto this2088 place,4725 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and to the inhabitants3427 thereof, and even make5414 853 this2063 city5892 as Tophet:8612
13 And the houses1004 of Jerusalem,3389 and the houses1004 of the kings4428 of Judah,3063 shall be1961 defiled2931 as the place4725 of Tophet,8612 because of all3605 the houses1004 upon5921 whose834 roofs1406 they have burned incense6999 unto all3605 the host6635 of heaven,8064 and have poured out5258 drink offerings5262 unto other312 gods.430
14 Then came935 Jeremiah3414 from Tophet,4480 8612 whither834 8033 the LORD3068 had sent7971 him to prophesy;5012 and he stood5975 in the court2691 of the LORD's3068 house;1004 and said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971
15 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will bring935 upon413 this2063 city5892 and upon5921 all3605 her towns5892 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 I have pronounced1696 against5921 it, because3588 they have hardened7185 853 their necks,6203 that they might not1115 hear8085 853 my words.1697
1 Now Pashur6583 the son1121 of Immer564 the priest,3548 who1931 was also chief5057 governor6496 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 heard8085 that 853 Jeremiah3414 prophesied5012 853 these428 things.1697
2 Then Pashur6583 smote5221 853 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 and put5414 him in5921 the stocks4115 that834 were in the high5945 gate8179 of Benjamin,1144 which834 was by the house1004 of the LORD.3068
3 And it came to pass1961 on the morrow,4480 4283 that Pashur6583 brought forth3318 853 Jeremiah3414 out of4480 the stocks.4115 Then said559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 him, The LORD3068 hath not3808 called7121 thy name8034 Pashur,6583 but3588 518 Magor-missabib.4036
4 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will make5414 thee a terror4032 to thyself, and to all3605 thy friends:157 and they shall fall5307 by the sword2719 of their enemies,341 and thine eyes5869 shall behold7200 it: and I will give5414 all3605 Judah3063 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall carry them captive1540 into Babylon,894 and shall slay5221 them with the sword.2719
5 Moreover I will deliver5414 853 all3605 the strength2633 of this2063 city,5892 and all3605 the labors3018 thereof, and all3605 the precious things3366 thereof, and all3605 the treasures214 of the kings4428 of Judah3063 will I give5414 into the hand3027 of their enemies,341 which shall spoil962 them, and take3947 them, and carry935 them to Babylon.894
6 And thou,859 Pashur,6583 and all3605 that dwell3427 in thine house1004 shall go1980 into captivity:7628 and thou shalt come935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 thou shalt die,4191 and shalt be buried6912 there,8033 thou,859 and all3605 thy friends,157 to whom834 thou hast prophesied5012 lies.8267
7 O LORD,3068 thou hast deceived6601 me, and I was deceived:6601 thou art stronger2388 than I, and hast prevailed:3201 I am1961 in derision7814 daily,3605 3117 every one3605 mocketh3932 me.
8 For3588 since4480 1767 I spoke,1696 I cried out,2199 I cried7121 violence2555 and spoil;7701 because3588 the word1697 of the LORD3068 was made1961 a reproach2781 unto me, and a derision,7047 daily.3605 3117
9 Then I said,559 I will not3808 make mention2142 of him, nor3808 speak1696 any more5750 in his name.8034 But his word was1961 in mine heart3820 as a burning1197 fire784 shut up6113 in my bones,6106 and I was weary3811 with forbearing,3557 and I could3201 not3808 stay.
10 For3588 I heard8085 the defaming1681 of many,7227 fear4032 on every side.4480 5439 Report,5046 say they, and we will report5046 it. All3605 my familiars582 7965 watched8104 for my halting,6761 saying, Peradventure194 he will be enticed,6601 and we shall prevail3201 against him, and we shall take3947 our revenge5360 on4480 him.
11 But the LORD3068 is with854 me as a mighty1368 terrible one:6184 therefore5921 3651 my persecutors7291 shall stumble,3782 and they shall not3808 prevail:3201 they shall be greatly3966 ashamed;954 for3588 they shall not3808 prosper:7919 their everlasting5769 confusion3639 shall never3808 be forgotten.7911
12 But, O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that triest974 the righteous,6662 and seest7200 the reins3629 and the heart,3820 let me see7200 thy vengeance5360 on4480 them: for3588 unto413 thee have I opened1540 853 my cause.7379
13 Sing7891 unto the LORD,3068 praise1984 ye 853 the LORD:3068 for3588 he hath delivered5337 853 the soul5315 of the poor34 from the hand4480 3027 of evildoers.7489
14 Cursed779 be the day3117 wherein834 I was born:3205 let not408 the day3117 wherein834 my mother517 bore3205 me be1961 blessed.1288
15 Cursed779 be the man376 who834 brought tidings1319 to 853 my father,1 saying,559 A man2145 child1121 is born3205 unto thee; making him very glad.8055 8055
16 And let that1931 man376 be1961 as the cities5892 which834 the LORD3068 overthrew,2015 and repented5162 not:3808 and let him hear8085 the cry2201 in the morning,1242 and the shouting8643 at noontide;6256 6672
17 Because834 he slew4191 me not3808 from the womb;4480 7358 or that my mother517 might have been1961 my grave,6913 and her womb7358 to be always5769 great2030 with me.
18 Wherefore4100 came I forth3318 out of the womb4480 7358 to see7200 labor5999 and sorrow,3015 that my days3117 should be consumed3615 with shame?1322
1 The word1697 which834 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 when king4428 Zedekiah6667 sent7971 unto413 him 853 Pashur6583 the son1121 of Melchiah,4441 and Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest,3548 saying,559
2 Inquire,1875 I pray thee,4994 of 853 the LORD3068 for1157 us; for3588 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 maketh war3898 against5921 us; if so be194 that the LORD3068 will deal6213 with854 us according to all3605 his wondrous works,6381 that he may go up5927 from4480 5921 us.
3 Then said559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 them, Thus3541 shall ye say559 to413 Zedekiah:6667
4 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will turn back5437 853 the weapons3627 of war4421 that834 are in your hands,3027 wherewith834 ye859 fight3898 against 853 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and against the Chaldeans,3778 which besiege6696 5921 you without4480 2351 the walls,2346 and I will assemble622 them into413 the midst8432 of this2063 city.5892
5 And I myself589 will fight3898 against854 you with an outstretched5186 hand3027 and with a strong2389 arm,2220 even in anger,639 and in fury,2534 and in great1419 wrath.7110
6 And I will smite5221 853 the inhabitants3427 of this2063 city,5892 both man120 and beast:929 they shall die4191 of a great1419 pestilence.1698
7 And afterward,310 3651 saith5002 the LORD,3068 I will deliver5414 853 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 and his servants,5650 and the people,5971 and such as are left7604 in this2063 city5892 from4480 the pestilence,1698 from4480 the sword,2719 and from4480 the famine,7458 into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and into the hand3027 of their enemies,341 and into the hand3027 of those that seek1245 their life:5315 and he shall smite5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword;2719 he shall not3808 spare2347 5921 them, neither3808 have pity,2550 nor3808 have mercy.7355
8 And unto413 this2088 people5971 thou shalt say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I set5414 before6440 you 853 the way1870 of life,2416 and the way1870 of death.4194
9 He that abideth3427 in this2063 city5892 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 and by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence:1698 but he that goeth out,3318 and falleth5307 to5921 the Chaldeans3778 that besiege6696 5921 you, he shall live,2421 and his life5315 shall be1961 unto him for a prey.7998
10 For3588 I have set7760 my face6440 against this2063 city5892 for evil,7451 and not3808 for good,2896 saith5002 the LORD:3068 it shall be given5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall burn8313 it with fire.784
11 And touching the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 say, Hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD;3068
12 O house1004 of David,1732 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Execute1777 judgment4941 in the morning,1242 and deliver5337 him that is spoiled1497 out of the hand4480 3027 of the oppressor,6231 lest6435 my fury2534 go out3318 like fire,784 and burn1197 that none369 can quench3518 it, because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of your doings.4611
13 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, O inhabitant3427 of the valley,6010 and rock6697 of the plain,4334 saith5002 the LORD;3068 which say,559 Who4310 shall come down5181 against5921 us? or who4310 shall enter935 into our habitations?4585
14 But I will punish6485 5921 you according to the fruit6529 of your doings,4611 saith5002 the LORD:3068 and I will kindle3341 a fire784 in the forest3293 thereof, and it shall devour398 all things3605 round about5439 it.
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Go down3381 to the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and speak1696 there8033 853 this2088 word,1697
2 And say,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O king4428 of Judah,3063 that sittest3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 thou,859 and thy servants,5650 and thy people5971 that enter935 in by these428 gates:8179
3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Execute6213 ye judgment4941 and righteousness,6666 and deliver5337 the spoiled1497 out of the hand4480 3027 of the oppressor:6216 and do no408 wrong,3238 do no408 violence2554 to the stranger,1616 the fatherless,3490 nor the widow,490 neither408 shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in this2088 place.4725
4 For3588 if518 ye do6213 853 this2088 thing1697 indeed,6213 then shall there enter in935 by the gates8179 of this2088 house1004 kings4428 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 riding7392 in chariots7393 and on horses,5483 he,1931 and his servants,5650 and his people.5971
5 But if518 ye will not3808 hear8085 853 these428 words,1697 I swear7650 by myself, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 this2088 house1004 shall become1961 a desolation.2723
6 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto5921 the king's4428 house1004 of Judah;3063 Thou859 art Gilead1568 unto me, and the head7218 of Lebanon:3844 yet surely518 3808 I will make7896 thee a wilderness,4057 and cities5892 which are not3808 inhabited.3427
7 And I will prepare6942 destroyers7843 against5921 thee, every one376 with his weapons:3627 and they shall cut down3772 thy choice4005 cedars,730 and cast5307 them into5921 the fire.784
8 And many7227 nations1471 shall pass5674 by5921 this2063 city,5892 and they shall say559 every man376 to413 his neighbor,7453 Wherefore5921 4100 hath the LORD3068 done6213 thus3602 unto this2063 great1419 city?5892
9 Then they shall answer,559 Because5921 834 they have forsaken5800 853 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 their God,430 and worshiped7812 other312 gods,430 and served5647 them.
10 Weep1058 ye not408 for the dead,4191 neither408 bemoan5110 him: but weep sore1058 1058 for him that goeth away:1980 for3588 he shall return7725 no3808 more,5750 nor see7200 853 his native4138 country.776
11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 touching413 Shallum7967 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 which reigned4427 instead8478 of Josiah2977 his father,1 which834 went forth3318 out of4480 this2088 place;4725 He shall not3808 return7725 thither8033 any more:5750
12 But3588 he shall die4191 in the place4725 whither834 8033 they have led him captive,1540 853 and shall see7200 this2063 land776 no3808 more.5750
13 Woe1945 unto him that buildeth1129 his house1004 by unrighteousness,3808 6664 and his chambers5944 by wrong;3808 4941 that useth his neighbor's7453 service5647 without wages,2600 and giveth5414 him not3808 for his work;6467
14 That saith,559 I will build1129 me a wide4060 house1004 and large7304 chambers,5944 and cutteth him out7167 windows;2474 and it is ceiled5603 with cedar,730 and painted4886 with vermilion.8350
15 Shalt thou reign,4427 because3588 thou859 closest8474 thyself in cedar?730 did not3808 thy father1 eat398 and drink,8354 and do6213 judgment4941 and justice,6666 and then227 it was well2896 with him?
16 He judged1777 the cause1779 of the poor6041 and needy;34 then227 it was well2896 with him: was not3808 this1931 to know1847 me? saith5002 the LORD.3068
17 But3588 thine eyes5869 and thine heart3820 are not369 but for3588 518 5921 thy covetousness,1215 and for5921 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood,1818 and for5921 oppression,6233 and for5921 violence,4835 to do6213 it.
18 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah;3063 They shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 my brother!251 or, Ah1945 sister!269 they shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 lord!113 or, Ah1945 his glory!1935
19 He shall be buried6912 with the burial6900 of an ass,2543 drawn5498 and cast forth7993 beyond4480 1973 the gates8179 of Jerusalem.3389
20 Go up5927 to Lebanon,3844 and cry;6817 and lift up5414 thy voice6963 in Bashan,1316 and cry6817 from the passages:4480 5676 for3588 all3605 thy lovers157 are destroyed.7665
21 I spoke1696 unto413 thee in thy prosperity;7962 but thou saidst,559 I will not3808 hear.8085 This2088 hath been thy manner1870 from thy youth,4480 5271 that3588 thou obeyedst8085 not3808 my voice.6963
22 The wind7307 shall eat up7462 all3605 thy pastors,7462 and thy lovers157 shall go1980 into captivity:7628 surely3588 then227 shalt thou be ashamed954 and confounded3637 for all4480 3605 thy wickedness.7451
23 O inhabitant3427 of Lebanon,3844 that makest thy nest7077 in the cedars,730 how4100 gracious2603 shalt thou be when pangs2256 come935 upon thee, the pain2427 as of a woman in travail!3205
24 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the LORD,3068 though3588 518 Coniah3659 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 were1961 the signet2368 upon5921 my right3225 hand,3027 yet3588 would I pluck5423 thee thence;4480 8033
25 And I will give5414 thee into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 thy life,5315 and into the hand3027 of them whose834 face4480 6440 thou859 fearest,3016 even into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans.3778
26 And I will cast thee out,2904 853 and thy mother517 that834 bore3205 thee, into5921 another312 country,776 where834 8033 ye were not3808 born;3205 and there8033 shall ye die.4191
27 But to5921 the land776 whereunto834 8033 they1992 desire5375 853 5315 to return,7725 thither8033 shall they not3808 return.7725
28 Is this2088 man376 Coniah3659 a despised959 broken5310 idol?6089 is he a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure?2656 wherefore4069 are they cast out,2904 he1931 and his seed,2233 and are cast7993 into5921 a land776 which834 they know3045 not?3808
29 O earth,776 earth,776 earth,776 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD.3068
30 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Write3789 ye 853 this2088 man376 childless,6185 a man1397 that shall not3808 prosper6743 in his days:3117 for3588 no3808 man376 of his seed4480 2233 shall prosper,6743 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 and ruling4910 any more5750 in Judah.3063
1 Woe1945 be unto the pastors7462 that destroy6 and scatter6327 853 the sheep6629 of my pasture!4830 saith5002 the LORD.3068
2 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 against5921 the pastors7462 that feed7462 853 my people;5971 Ye859 have scattered6327 853 my flock,6629 and driven them away,5080 and have not3808 visited6485 them: behold,2009 I will visit6485 upon5921 you 853 the evil7455 of your doings,4611 saith5002 the LORD.3068
3 And I589 will gather6908 853 the remnant7611 of my flock6629 out of all4480 3605 countries776 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them, and will bring them again7725 853 to5921 their folds;5116 and they shall be fruitful6509 and increase.7235
4 And I will set up6965 shepherds7462 over5921 them which shall feed7462 them: and they shall fear3372 no3808 more,5750 nor3808 be dismayed,2865 neither3808 shall they be lacking,6485 saith5002 the LORD.3068
5 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will raise6965 unto David1732 a righteous6662 Branch,6780 and a King4428 shall reign4427 and prosper,7919 and shall execute6213 judgment4941 and justice6666 in the earth.776
6 In his days3117 Judah3063 shall be saved,3467 and Israel3478 shall dwell7931 safely:983 and this2088 is his name8034 whereby834 he shall be called,7121 THE LORD3068 OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.6664
7 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that they shall no3808 more5750 say,559 The LORD3068 liveth,2416 which834 brought up5927 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt;4714
8 But,3588 518 The LORD3068 liveth,2416 which834 brought up5927 and which834 led935 853 the seed2233 of the house1004 of Israel3478 out of the north6828 country,4480 776 and from all4480 3605 countries776 whither834 8033 I had driven5080 them; and they shall dwell3427 in5921 their own land.127
9 Mine heart3820 within7130 me is broken7665 because of the prophets;5030 all3605 my bones6106 shake;7363 I am1961 like a drunken7910 man,376 and like a man1397 whom wine3196 hath overcome,5674 because4480 6440 of the LORD,3068 and because4480 6440 of the words1697 of his holiness.6944
10 For3588 the land776 is full4390 of adulterers;5003 for3588 because4480 6440 of swearing423 the land776 mourneth;56 the pleasant places4999 of the wilderness4057 are dried up,3001 and their course4794 is1961 evil,7451 and their force1369 is not3808 right.3651
11 For3588 both1571 prophet5030 and1571 priest3548 are profane;2610 yea,1571 in my house1004 have I found4672 their wickedness,7451 saith5002 the LORD.3068
12 Wherefore3651 their way1870 shall be1961 unto them as slippery2519 ways in the darkness:653 they shall be driven on,1760 and fall5307 therein: for3588 I will bring935 evil7451 upon5921 them, even the year8141 of their visitation,6486 saith5002 the LORD.3068
13 And I have seen7200 folly8604 in the prophets5030 of Samaria;8111 they prophesied5012 in Baal,1168 and caused 853 my people5971 853 Israel3478 to err.8582
14 I have seen7200 also in the prophets5030 of Jerusalem3389 a horrible thing:8186 they commit adultery,5003 and walk1980 in lies:8267 they strengthen2388 also the hands3027 of evildoers,7489 that none1115 376 doth return7725 from his wickedness:4480 7451 they are1961 all3605 of them unto me as Sodom,5467 and the inhabitants3427 thereof as Gomorrah.6017
15 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning5921 the prophets;5030 Behold,2009 I will feed398 them with wormwood,3939 and make them drink8248 the water4325 of gall:7219 for3588 from4480 854 the prophets5030 of Jerusalem3389 is profaneness2613 gone forth3318 into all3605 the land.776
16 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Hearken8085 not408 unto5921 the words1697 of the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 unto you: they make you vain:1891 853 they1992 speak1696 a vision2377 of their own heart,3820 and not3808 out of the mouth4480 6310 of the LORD.3068
17 They say still559 559 unto them that despise5006 me, The LORD3068 hath said,1696 Ye shall have1961 peace;7965 and they say559 unto every one3605 that walketh1980 after the imagination8307 of his own heart,3820 No3808 evil7451 shall come935 upon5921 you.
18 For3588 who4310 hath stood5975 in the counsel5475 of the LORD,3068 and hath perceived7200 and heard8085 853 his word?1697 who4310 hath marked7181 his word,1697 and heard8085 it?
19 Behold,2009 a whirlwind5591 of the LORD3068 is gone forth3318 in fury,2534 even a grievous2342 whirlwind:5591 it shall fall grievously2342 upon5921 the head7218 of the wicked.7563
20 The anger639 of the LORD3068 shall not3808 return,7725 until5704 he have executed,6213 and till5704 he have performed6965 the thoughts4209 of his heart:3820 in the latter319 days3117 ye shall consider995 it perfectly.998
21 I have not3808 sent7971 853 these prophets,5030 yet they1992 ran:7323 I have not3808 spoken1696 to413 them, yet they1992 prophesied.5012
22 But if518 they had stood5975 in my counsel,5475 and had caused 853 my people5971 to hear8085 my words,1697 then they should have turned7725 them from their evil7451 way,4480 1870 and from the evil4480 7455 of their doings.4611
23 Am I589 a God430 at hand,4480 7138 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and not3808 a God430 afar off?4480 7350
24 Can518 any376 hide himself5641 in secret places4565 that I589 shall not3808 see7200 him? saith5002 the LORD.3068 Do not3808 I589 fill4390 853 heaven8064 and earth?776 saith5002 the LORD.3068
25 I have heard8085 853 what834 the prophets5030 said,559 that prophesy5012 lies8267 in my name,8034 saying,559 I have dreamed,2492 I have dreamed.2492
26 How long5704 4970 shall this be3426 in the heart3820 of the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 lies?8267 yea, they are prophets5030 of the deceit8649 of their own heart;3820
27 Which think2803 to cause 853 my people5971 to forget7911 my name8034 by their dreams2472 which834 they tell5608 every man376 to his neighbor,7453 as834 their fathers1 have forgotten7911 853 my name8034 for Baal.1168
28 The prophet5030 that834 854 hath a dream,2472 let him tell5608 a dream;2472 and he that834 854 hath my word,1697 let him speak1696 my word1697 faithfully.571 What4100 is the chaff8401 to854 the wheat?1250 saith5002 the LORD.3068
29 Is not3808 my word1697 like3541 as a fire?784 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and like a hammer6360 that breaketh6327 the rock5553 in pieces?
30 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 I am against5921 the prophets,5030 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that steal1589 my words1697 every one376 from4480 854 his neighbor.7453
31 Behold,2009 I am against5921 the prophets,5030 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that use3947 their tongues,3956 and say,5001 He saith.5002
32 Behold,2009 I am against5921 them that prophesy5012 false8267 dreams,2472 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and do tell5608 them, and cause 853 my people5971 to err8582 by their lies,8267 and by their lightness;6350 yet I595 sent7971 them not,3808 nor3808 commanded6680 them: therefore they shall not3808 profit this people at all,3276 3276 5971 2088 saith5002 the LORD.3068
33 And when3588 this2088 people,5971 or176 the prophet,5030 or176 a priest,3548 shall ask7592 thee, saying,559 What4100 is the burden4853 of the LORD?3068 thou shalt then say559 unto413 them, 853 What4100 burden?4853 I will even forsake5203 you, saith5002 the LORD.3068
34 And as for the prophet,5030 and the priest,3548 and the people,5971 that834 shall say,559 The burden4853 of the LORD,3068 I will even punish6485 5921 that1931 man376 and his house.1004
35 Thus3541 shall ye say559 every one376 to5921 his neighbor,7453 and every one376 to413 his brother,251 What4100 hath the LORD3068 answered?6030 and, What4100 hath the LORD3068 spoken?1696
36 And the burden4853 of the LORD3068 shall ye mention2142 no3808 more:5750 for3588 every man's376 word1697 shall be1961 his burden;4853 for ye have perverted2015 853 the words1697 of the living2416 God,430 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 our God.430
37 Thus3541 shalt thou say559 to413 the prophet,5030 What4100 hath the LORD3068 answered6030 thee? and, What4100 hath the LORD3068 spoken?1696
38 But since518 ye say,559 The burden4853 of the LORD;3068 therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Because3282 ye say559 853 this2088 word,1697 The burden4853 of the LORD,3068 and I have sent7971 unto413 you, saying,559 Ye shall not3808 say,559 The burden4853 of the LORD;3068
39 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 I, even I, will utterly forget5382 5382 you, and I will forsake5203 you, and the city5892 that834 I gave5414 you and your fathers,1 and cast you out of4480 5921 my presence:6440
40 And I will bring5414 an everlasting5769 reproach2781 upon5921 you, and a perpetual5769 shame,3640 which834 shall not3808 be forgotten.7911
1 The LORD3068 showed7200 me, and, behold,2009 two8147 baskets1736 of figs8384 were set3259 before6440 the temple1964 of the LORD,3068 after that310 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 had carried away captive1540 853 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah,3063 and the princes8269 of Judah,3063 with854 the carpenters2796 and smiths,4525 from Jerusalem,4480 3389 and had brought935 them to Babylon.894
2 One259 basket1731 had very3966 good2896 figs,8384 even like the figs8384 that are first ripe:1073 and the other259 basket1731 had very3966 naughty7451 figs,8384 which834 could not3808 be eaten,398 they were so bad.4480 7455
3 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, What4100 seest7200 thou,859 Jeremiah?3414 And I said,559 Figs;8384 the good2896 figs,8384 very3966 good;2896 and the evil,7451 very3966 evil,7451 that834 cannot3808 be eaten,398 they are so evil.4480 7455
4 Again the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
5 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel;3478 Like these428 good2896 figs,8384 so3651 will I acknowledge5234 853 them that are carried away captive1546 of Judah,3063 whom834 I have sent7971 out of4480 this2088 place4725 into the land776 of the Chaldeans3778 for their good.2896
6 For I will set7760 mine eyes5869 upon5921 them for good,2896 and I will bring them again7725 to5921 this2063 land:776 and I will build1129 them, and not3808 pull them down;2040 and I will plant5193 them, and not3808 pluck them up.5428
7 And I will give5414 them a heart3820 to know3045 me, that3588 I589 am the LORD:3068 and they shall be1961 my people,5971 and I595 will be1961 their God:430 for3588 they shall return7725 unto413 me with their whole3605 heart.3820
8 And as the evil7451 figs,8384 which834 cannot3808 be eaten,398 they are so evil;4480 7455 surely3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 So3651 will I give5414 853 Zedekiah6667 the king4428 of Judah,3063 and his princes,8269 and the residue7611 of Jerusalem,3389 that remain7604 in this2063 land,776 and them that dwell3427 in the land776 of Egypt:4714
9 And I will deliver5414 them to be removed2189 into all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth776 for their hurt,7451 to be a reproach2781 and a proverb,4912 a taunt8148 and a curse,7045 in all3605 places4725 whither834 8033 I shall drive5080 them.
10 And I will send7971 853 the sword,2719 853 the famine,7458 and the pestilence,1698 among them, till5704 they be consumed8552 from off4480 5921 the land127 that834 I gave5414 unto them and to their fathers.1
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to5921 Jeremiah3414 concerning5921 all3605 the people5971 of Judah3063 in the fourth7243 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 that1931 was the first7224 year8141 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894
2 The which834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 spoke1696 unto5921 all3605 the people5971 of Judah,3063 and to413 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 saying,559
3 From4480 the thirteenth7969 6240 year8141 of Josiah2977 the son1121 of Amon526 king4428 of Judah,3063 even unto5704 this2088 day,3117 that2088 is the three7969 and twentieth6242 year,8141 the word1697 of the LORD3068 hath come1961 unto413 me, and I have spoken1696 unto413 you, rising early7925 and speaking;1696 but ye have not3808 hearkened.8085
4 And the LORD3068 hath sent7971 unto413 you 853 all3605 his servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising early7925 and sending7971 them; but ye have not3808 hearkened,8085 nor3808 inclined5186 853 your ear241 to hear.8085
5 They said,559 Turn ye again7725 now4994 every one376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 and from the evil4480 7455 of your doings,4611 and dwell3427 in5921 the land127 that834 the LORD3068 hath given5414 unto you and to your fathers1 forever5769 and ever:5704 5769
6 And go1980 not408 after310 other312 gods430 to serve5647 them, and to worship7812 them, and provoke me not to anger3808 3707 853 with the works4639 of your hands;3027 and I will do you no hurt.3808 7489
7 Yet ye have not3808 hearkened8085 unto413 me, saith5002 the LORD;3068 that4616 ye might provoke me to anger3707 with the works4639 of your hands3027 to your own hurt.7451
8 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Because3282 834 ye have not3808 heard8085 853 my words,1697
9 Behold,2009 I will send7971 and take3947 853 all3605 the families4940 of the north,6828 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant,5650 and will bring935 them against5921 this2063 land,776 and against5921 the inhabitants3427 thereof, and against5921 all3605 these428 nations1471 round about,5439 and will utterly destroy2763 them, and make7760 them an astonishment,8047 and a hissing,8322 and perpetual5769 desolations.2723
10 Moreover I will take6 from4480 them the voice6963 of mirth,8342 and the voice6963 of gladness,8057 the voice6963 of the bridegroom,2860 and the voice6963 of the bride,3618 the sound6963 of the millstones,7347 and the light216 of the candle.5216
11 And this2063 whole3605 land776 shall be1961 a desolation,2723 and an astonishment;8047 and these428 nations1471 shall serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon894 seventy7657 years.8141
12 And it shall come to pass,1961 when seventy7657 years8141 are accomplished,4390 that I will punish6485 5921 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that1931 nation,1471 saith5002 the LORD,3068 for854 their iniquity,5771 and the land776 of the Chaldeans,3778 and will make7760 it perpetual5769 desolations.8077
13 And I will bring935 upon5921 that1931 land776 853 all3605 my words1697 which834 I have pronounced1696 against5921 it, even 853 all3605 that is written3789 in this2088 book,5612 which834 Jeremiah3414 hath prophesied5012 against5921 all3605 the nations.1471
14 For3588 many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves1992 of them also:1571 and I will recompense7999 them according to their deeds,6467 and according to the works4639 of their own hands.3027
15 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 unto413 me; Take3947 853 the wine3196 cup3563 of this2063 fury2534 at my hand,4480 3027 and cause 853 all3605 the nations,1471 to whom834 413 I595 send7971 thee, to drink8248 it.
16 And they shall drink,8354 and be moved,1607 and be mad,1984 because4480 6440 of the sword2719 that834 I will send7971 among996 them.
17 Then took3947 I 853 the cup3563 at the LORD's3068 hand,4480 3027 and made 853 all3605 the nations1471 to drink,8248 unto413 whom834 the LORD3068 had sent7971 me:
18 To wit, 853 Jerusalem,3389 and the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and the kings4428 thereof, and 853 the princes8269 thereof, to make5414 them a desolation,2723 an astonishment,8047 a hissing,8322 and a curse;7045 as it is this2088 day;3117
19 853 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and his servants,5650 and his princes,8269 and all3605 his people;5971
20 And all3605 the mingled people,6154 and853 all3605 the kings4428 of the land776 of Uz,5780 and all3605 the kings4428 of the land776 of the Philistines,6430 and Ashkelon,831 and Azzah,5804 and Ekron,6138 and the remnant7611 of Ashdod,795
21 853 Edom,123 and Moab,4124 and the children1121 of Ammon,5983
22 And all3605 the kings4428 of Tyrus,6865 and all3605 the kings4428 of Zidon,6721 and the kings4428 of the isles339 which834 are beyond5676 the sea,3220
23 Dedan,1719 and Tema,8485 and Buz,938 and all3605 that are in the utmost7112 corners,6285
24 And all3605 the kings4428 of Arabia,6152 and all3605 the kings4428 of the mingled people6154 that dwell7931 in the desert,4057
25 And all3605 the kings4428 of Zimri,2174 and all3605 the kings4428 of Elam,5867 and all3605 the kings4428 of the Medes,4074
26 And all3605 the kings4428 of the north,6828 far7350 and near,7138 one376 with413 another,251 and all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the world,776 which834 are upon5921 the face6440 of the earth:127 and the king4428 of Sheshach8347 shall drink8354 after310 them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Drink8354 ye, and be drunken,7937 and spew,7006 and fall,5307 and rise6965 no3808 more, because4480 6440 of the sword2719 which834 I595 will send7971 among996 you.
28 And it shall be,1961 if3588 they refuse3985 to take3947 the cup3563 at thine hand4480 3027 to drink,8354 then shalt thou say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Ye shall certainly drink.8354 8354
29 For,3588 lo,2009 I595 begin2490 to bring evil7489 on the city5892 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 and should ye859 be utterly unpunished?5352 5352 Ye shall not3808 be unpunished:5352 for3588 I589 will call for7121 a sword2719 upon5921 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the earth,776 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
30 Therefore prophesy5012 thou859 against413 them 853 all3605 these428 words,1697 and say559 unto413 them, The LORD3068 shall roar7580 from on high,4480 4791 and utter5414 his voice6963 from his holy6944 habitation;4480 4583 he shall mightily roar7580 7580 upon5921 his habitation;5116 he shall give6030 a shout,1959 as they that tread1869 the grapes, against413 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the earth.776
31 A noise7588 shall come935 even to5704 the ends7097 of the earth;776 for3588 the LORD3068 hath a controversy7379 with the nations,1471 he1931 will plead8199 with all3605 flesh;1320 he will give5414 them that are wicked7563 to the sword,2719 saith5002 the LORD.3068
32 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Behold,2009 evil7451 shall go forth3318 from nation4480 1471 to413 nation,1471 and a great1419 whirlwind5591 shall be raised up5782 from the coasts4480 3411 of the earth.776
33 And the slain2491 of the LORD3068 shall be1961 at that1931 day3117 from one end4480 7097 of the earth776 even unto5704 the other end7097 of the earth:776 they shall not3808 be lamented,5594 neither3808 gathered,622 nor3808 buried;6912 they shall be1961 dung1828 upon5921 6440 the ground.127
34 Howl,3213 ye shepherds,7462 and cry;2199 and wallow yourselves6428 in the ashes, ye principal117 of the flock:6629 for3588 the days3117 of your slaughter2873 and of your dispersions8600 are accomplished;4390 and ye shall fall5307 like a pleasant2532 vessel.3627
35 And the shepherds7462 shall have no way to flee,4480 6 4498 nor the principal4480 117 of the flock6629 to escape.6413
36 A voice6963 of the cry6818 of the shepherds,7462 and a howling3215 of the principal117 of the flock,6629 shall be heard: for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoiled7703 853 their pasture.4830
37 And the peaceable7965 habitations4999 are cut down1826 because4480 6440 of the fierce2740 anger639 of the LORD.3068
38 He hath forsaken5800 his covert,5520 as the lion:3715 for3588 their land776 is1961 desolate8047 because4480 6440 of the fierceness2740 of the oppressor,3238 and because4480 6440 of his fierce2740 anger.639
1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4468 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Stand5975 in the court2691 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and speak1696 unto5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah,3063 which come935 to worship7812 in the LORD's3068 house,1004 all3605 the words1697 that834 I command6680 thee to speak1696 unto413 them; diminish1639 not408 a word:1697
3 If so be194 they will hearken,8085 and turn7725 every man376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 that I may repent5162 me of413 the evil,7451 which834 I595 purpose2803 to do6213 unto them because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of their doings.4611
4 And thou shalt say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 ye will not3808 hearken8085 to413 me, to walk1980 in my law,8451 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you,
5 To hearken8085 to5921 the words1697 of my servants5650 the prophets,5030 whom834 I595 sent7971 unto413 you, both rising up early,7925 and sending7971 them, but ye have not3808 hearkened;8085
6 Then will I make5414 853 this2088 house1004 like Shiloh,7887 and will make5414 this2063 city5892 a curse7045 to all3605 the nations1471 of the earth.776
7 So the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 heard8085 853 Jeremiah3414 speaking1696 853 these428 words1697 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068
8 Now it came to pass,1961 when Jeremiah3414 had made an end3615 of speaking1696 853 all3605 that834 the LORD3068 had commanded6680 him to speak1696 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 that the priests3548 and the prophets5030 and all3605 the people5971 took8610 him, saying,559 Thou shalt surely die.4191 4191
9 Why4069 hast thou prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 saying,559 This2088 house1004 shall be1961 like Shiloh,7887 and this2063 city5892 shall be desolate2717 without4480 369 an inhabitant?3427 And all3605 the people5971 were gathered6950 against413 Jeremiah3414 in the house1004 of the LORD.3068
10 When the princes8269 of Judah3063 heard8085 853 these428 things,1697 then they came up5927 from the king's4428 house4480 1004 unto the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and sat down3427 in the entry6607 of the new2319 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house.
11 Then spoke559 the priests3548 and the prophets5030 unto413 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 This2088 man376 is worthy4941 to die;4194 for3588 he hath prophesied5012 against413 this2063 city,5892 as834 ye have heard8085 with your ears.241
12 Then spoke559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 all3605 the princes8269 and to413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 The LORD3068 sent7971 me to prophesy5012 against413 this2088 house1004 and against413 this2063 city5892 all3605 the words1697 that834 ye have heard.8085
13 Therefore now6258 amend3190 your ways1870 and your doings,4611 and obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God;430 and the LORD3068 will repent5162 him of413 the evil7451 that834 he hath pronounced1696 against5921 you.
14 As for me,589 behold,2009 I am in your hand:3027 do6213 with me as seemeth5869 good2896 and meet3477 unto you.
15 But389 know ye for certain,3045 3045 that3588 if518 ye859 put me to death,4191 853 ye859 shall surely3588 bring5414 innocent5355 blood1818 upon5921 yourselves, and upon413 this2063 city,5892 and upon413 the inhabitants3427 thereof: for3588 of a truth571 the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me unto5921 you to speak1696 853 all3605 these428 words1697 in your ears.241
16 Then said559 the princes8269 and all3605 the people5971 unto413 the priests3548 and to413 the prophets;5030 This2088 man376 is not369 worthy4941 to die:4194 for3588 he hath spoken1696 to413 us in the name8034 of the LORD3068 our God.430
17 Then rose up6965 certain376 of the elders4480 2205 of the land,776 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the assembly6951 of the people,5971 saying,559
18 Micah4320 the Morasthite4183 prophesied1961 5012 in the days3117 of Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah,3063 and spoke559 to413 all3605 the people5971 of Judah,3063 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Zion6726 shall be plowed2790 like a field,7704 and Jerusalem3389 shall become1961 heaps,5856 and the mountain2022 of the house1004 as the high places1116 of a forest.3293
19 Did Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 and all3605 Judah3063 put him at all to death?4191 4191 did he not3808 fear3372 853 the LORD,3068 and besought2470 853 6440 the LORD,3068 and the LORD3068 repented5162 him of413 the evil7451 which834 he had pronounced1696 against5921 them? Thus might we587 procure6213 great1419 evil7451 against5921 our souls.5315
20 And there was1961 also1571 a man376 that prophesied5012 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 Urijah223 the son1121 of Shemaiah8098 of Kirjath-jearim,4480 7157 who prophesied5012 against5921 this2063 city5892 and against5921 this2063 land776 according to all3605 the words1697 of Jeremiah:3414
21 And when Jehoiakim3079 the king,4428 with all3605 his mighty men,1368 and all3605 the princes,8269 heard8085 853 his words,1697 the king4428 sought1245 to put him to death:4191 but when Urijah223 heard8085 it, he was afraid,3372 and fled,1272 and went into935 Egypt;4714
22 And Jehoiakim3079 the king4428 sent7971 men376 into Egypt,4714 namely, 853 Elnathan494 the son1121 of Achbor,5907 and certain men376 with854 him into413 Egypt.4714
23 And they fetched forth3318 853 Urijah223 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and brought935 him unto413 Jehoiakim3079 the king;4428 who slew5221 him with the sword,2719 and cast7993 853 his dead body5038 into413 the graves6913 of the common1121 people.5971
24 Nevertheless389 the hand3027 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 was1961 with854 Jeremiah,3414 that they should not1115 give5414 him into the hand3027 of the people5971 to put him to death.4191
1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 to413 me; Make6213 thee bonds4147 and yokes,4133 and put5414 them upon5921 thy neck,6677
3 And send7971 them to413 the king4428 of Edom,123 and to413 the king4428 of Moab,4124 and to413 the king4428 of the Ammonites,1121 5983 and to413 the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and to the king4428 of Zidon,6721 by the hand3027 of the messengers4397 which come935 to Jerusalem3389 unto413 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063
4 And command6680 them to say559 unto413 their masters,113 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall ye say559 unto413 your masters;113
5 I595 have made6213 853 the earth,776 853 the man120 and the beast929 that834 are upon5921 6440 the ground,776 by my great1419 power3581 and by my outstretched5186 arm,2220 and have given5414 it unto whom834 it seemed5869 meet3474 unto me.
6 And now6258 have I595 given5414 853 all3605 these428 lands776 into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant;5650 and 853 the beasts2416 of the field7704 have I given5414 him also1571 to serve5647 him.
7 And all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him, and his son,1121 and his son's1121 son,1121 until5704 the very time6256 of his land776 come:935 and then1571 many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves of him.1931
8 And it shall come to pass,1961 that the nation1471 and kingdom4467 which834 will not3808 serve5647 the same 853 Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that834 will not3808 put5414 853 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 that1931 nation1471 will I punish,6485 saith5002 the LORD,3068 with the sword,2719 and with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 until5704 I have consumed8552 them by his hand.3027
9 Therefore hearken8085 not408 ye859 to413 your prophets,5030 nor to413 your diviners,7080 nor to413 your dreamers,2472 nor to413 your enchanters,6049 nor to413 your sorcerers,3786 which834 1992 speak559 unto413 you, saying,559 Ye shall not3808 serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon:894
10 For3588 they1992 prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you, to4616 remove you far7368 853 from4480 5921 your land;127 and that I should drive you out,5080 853 and ye should perish.6
11 But the nations1471 that834 bring935 853 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him, those will I let remain5117 still in5921 their own land,127 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall till5647 it, and dwell3427 therein.
12 I spoke1696 also to413 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 according to all3605 these428 words,1697 saying,559 Bring935 853 your necks6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him and his people,5971 and live.2421
13 Why4100 will ye die,4191 thou859 and thy people,5971 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 as834 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 against413 the nation1471 that834 will not3808 serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon?894
14 Therefore hearken8085 not408 unto413 the words1697 of the prophets5030 that speak559 unto413 you, saying,559 Ye shall not3808 serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon:894 for3588 they1992 prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you.
15 For3588 I have not3808 sent7971 them, saith5002 the LORD,3068 yet they1992 prophesy5012 a lie8267 in my name;8034 that4616 I might drive you out,5080 853 and that ye might perish,6 ye,859 and the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 unto you.
16 Also I spoke1696 to413 the priests3548 and to413 all3605 this2088 people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Hearken8085 not408 to413 the words1697 of your prophets5030 that prophesy5012 unto you, saying,559 Behold,2009 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall now6258 shortly4120 be brought again7725 from Babylon:4480 894 for3588 they1992 prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you.
17 Hearken8085 not408 unto413 them; serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and live:2421 wherefore4100 should this2063 city5892 be1961 laid waste?2723
18 But if518 they1992 be prophets,5030 and if518 the word1697 of the LORD3068 be3426 with854 them, let them now4994 make intercession6293 to the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that the vessels3627 which are left3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and at Jerusalem,3389 go935 not1115 to Babylon.894
19 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning413 the pillars,5982 and concerning5921 the sea,3220 and concerning5921 the bases,4350 and concerning5921 the residue3499 of the vessels3627 that remain3498 in this2063 city,5892
20 Which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 not,3808 when he carried away captive1540 853 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon,894 and all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem;3389
21 Yea,3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the vessels3627 that remain3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah3063 and of Jerusalem;3389
22 They shall be carried935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall they be1961 until5704 the day3117 that I visit6485 them, saith5002 the LORD;3068 then will I bring them up,5927 and restore7725 them to413 this2008 place.4725
1 And it came to pass1961 the same1931 year,8141 in the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the fourth7243 year,8141 and in the fifth2549 month,2320 that Hananiah2608 the son1121 of Azur5809 the prophet,5030 which834 was of Gibeon,4480 1391 spoke559 unto413 me in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 in the presence5869 of the priests3548 and of all3605 the people,5971 saying,559
2 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saying,559 I have broken7665 853 the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
3 Within5750 two full years8141 3117 will I589 bring again7725 into413 this2008 place4725 853 all3605 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 that834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took away3947 from4480 this2008 place,4725 and carried935 them to Babylon:894
4 And I589 will bring again7725 to413 this2008 place4725 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah,3063 with all3605 the captives1546 of Judah,3063 that went935 into Babylon,894 saith5002 the LORD:3068 for3588 I will break7665 853 the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
5 Then the prophet5030 Jeremiah3414 said559 unto413 the prophet5030 Hananiah2608 in the presence5869 of the priests,3548 and in the presence5869 of all3605 the people5971 that stood5975 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068
6 Even the prophet5030 Jeremiah3414 said,559 Amen:543 the LORD3068 do6213 so:3651 the LORD3068 perform6965 853 thy words1697 which834 thou hast prophesied,5012 to bring again7725 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 and all3605 that is carried away captive,1473 from Babylon4480 894 into413 this2008 place.4725
7 Nevertheless389 hear8085 thou now4994 this2008 word1697 that834 I595 speak1696 in thine ears,241 and in the ears241 of all3605 the people;5971
8 The prophets5030 that834 have been1961 before6440 me and before6440 thee of4480 old5769 prophesied5012 both against413 many7227 countries,776 and against5921 great1419 kingdoms,4467 of war,4421 and of evil,7451 and of pestilence.1698
9 The prophet5030 which834 prophesieth5012 of peace,7965 when the word1697 of the prophet5030 shall come to pass,935 then shall the prophet5030 be known,3045 that834 the LORD3068 hath truly571 sent7971 him.
10 Then Hananiah2608 the prophet5030 took3947 853 the yoke4133 from off4480 5921 the prophet5030 Jeremiah's3414 neck,6677 and broke7665 it.
11 And Hananiah2608 spoke559 in the presence5869 of all3605 the people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Even so3602 will I break7665 853 the yoke5923 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 from4480 5921 the neck6677 of all3605 nations1471 within the space of5750 two full years.8141 3117 And the prophet5030 Jeremiah3414 went1980 his way.1870
12 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet, after that310 Hananiah2608 the prophet5030 had broken7665 853 the yoke4133 from off4480 5921 the neck6677 of the prophet5030 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
13 Go1980 and tell559 413 Hananiah,2608 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Thou hast broken7665 the yokes4133 of wood;6086 but thou shalt make6213 for8478 them yokes4133 of iron.1270
14 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 I have put5414 a yoke5923 of iron1270 upon5921 the neck6677 of all3605 these428 nations,1471 that they may serve5647 853 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and they shall serve5647 him: and I have given5414 him 853 the beasts2416 of the field7704 also.1571
15 Then said559 the prophet5030 Jeremiah3414 unto413 Hananiah2608 the prophet,5030 Hear8085 now,4994 Hananiah;2608 The LORD3068 hath not3808 sent7971 thee; but thou859 makest 853 this2008 people5971 to trust982 in5921 a lie.8267
16 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will cast7971 thee from off4480 5921 the face6440 of the earth:127 this year8141 thou859 shalt die,4191 because3588 thou hast taught1696 rebellion5627 against413 the LORD.3068
17 So Hananiah2608 the prophet5030 died4191 the same1931 year8141 in the seventh7637 month.2320
1 Now these428 are the words1697 of the letter5612 that834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto413 the residue3499 of the elders2205 which were carried away captives,1473 and to413 the priests,3548 and to413 the prophets,5030 and to413 all3605 the people5971 whom834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 had carried away captive1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon;894
2 (After that310 Jeconiah3204 the king,4428 and the queen,1377 and the eunuchs,5631 the princes8269 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and the carpenters,2796 and the smiths,4525 were departed3318 from Jerusalem;)4480 3389
3 By the hand3027 of Elasah501 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 and Gemariah1587 the son1121 of Hilkiah,2518 (whom834 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 sent7971 unto Babylon894 to413 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon)894 saying,559
4 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 unto all3605 that are carried away captives,1473 whom834 I have caused to be carried away1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 unto Babylon;894
5 Build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them;
6 Take3947 ye wives,802 and beget3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 and take3947 wives802 for your sons,1121 and give5414 your daughters1323 to husbands,376 that they may bear3205 sons1121 and daughters;1323 that ye may be increased7235 there,8033 and not408 diminished.4591
7 And seek1875 853 the peace7965 of the city5892 whither834 8033 I have caused you to be carried away captives,1540 and pray6419 unto413 the LORD3068 for1157 it: for3588 in the peace7965 thereof shall ye have1961 peace.7965
8 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Let not408 your prophets5030 and your diviners,7080 that834 be in the midst7130 of you, deceive5377 you, neither408 hearken8085 to413 your dreams2472 which834 ye859 cause to be dreamed.2492
9 For3588 they1992 prophesy5012 falsely8267 unto you in my name:8034 I have not3808 sent7971 them, saith5002 the LORD.3068
10 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 That3588 after6310 seventy7657 years8141 be accomplished4390 at Babylon894 I will visit6485 you, and perform6965 853 my good2896 word1697 toward5921 you, in causing you to return7725 853 to413 this2088 place.4725
11 For3588 I595 know3045 853 the thoughts4284 that834 I595 think2803 toward5921 you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 thoughts4284 of peace,7965 and not3808 of evil,7451 to give5414 you an expected8615 end.319
12 Then shall ye call upon7121 me, and ye shall go1980 and pray6419 unto413 me, and I will hearken8085 unto413 you.
13 And ye shall seek1245 me, and find4672 me, when3588 ye shall search for1875 me with all3605 your heart.3824
14 And I will be found4672 of you, saith5002 the LORD:3068 and I will turn away7725 853 your captivity,7622 and I will gather6908 you from all4480 3605 the nations,1471 and from all4480 3605 the places4725 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 you, saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will bring you again7725 853 into413 the place4725 whence834 4480 8033 I caused you to be carried away captive.1540
15 Because3588 ye have said,559 The LORD3068 hath raised us up6965 prophets5030 in Babylon;894
16 Know that3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of413 the king4428 that sitteth3427 upon413 the throne3678 of David,1732 and of413 all3605 the people5971 that dwelleth3427 in this2063 city,5892 and of your brethren251 that834 are not3808 gone forth3318 with854 you into captivity;1473
17 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2009 I will send7971 upon them 853 the sword,2719 853 the famine,7458 and the pestilence,1698 and will make5414 them like vile8182 figs,8384 that834 cannot3808 be eaten,398 they are so evil.4480 7455
18 And I will persecute7291 310 them with the sword,2719 with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 and will deliver5414 them to be removed2189 to all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth,776 to be a curse,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a hissing,8322 and a reproach,2781 among all3605 the nations1471 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them:
19 Because8478 834 they have not3808 hearkened8085 to413 my words,1697 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which834 I sent7971 unto413 them by 853 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them; but ye would not3808 hear,8085 saith5002 the LORD.3068
20 Hear8085 ye859 therefore the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 ye of the captivity,1473 whom834 I have sent7971 from Jerusalem4480 3389 to Babylon:894
21 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 of413 Ahab256 the son1121 of Kolaiah,6964 and of413 Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Maaseiah,4641 which prophesy5012 a lie8267 unto you in my name;8034 Behold,2009 I will deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon;894 and he shall slay5221 them before your eyes;5869
22 And of4480 them shall be taken up3947 a curse7045 by all3605 the captivity1546 of Judah3063 which834 are in Babylon,894 saying,559 The LORD3068 make7760 thee like Zedekiah6667 and like Ahab,256 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 roasted7033 in the fire;784
23 Because3282 834 they have committed6213 villainy5039 in Israel,3478 and have committed adultery5003 with854 their neighbors'7453 wives,802 and have spoken1696 lying8267 words1697 in my name,8034 which834 I have not3808 commanded6680 them; even I595 know,3045 and am a witness,5707 saith5002 the LORD.3068
24 Thus shalt thou also speak559 to413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 saying,559
25 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Because3282 834 thou859 hast sent7971 letters5612 in thy name8034 unto413 all3605 the people5971 that834 are at Jerusalem,3389 and to413 Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest,3548 and to413 all3605 the priests,3548 saying,559
26 The LORD3068 hath made5414 thee priest3548 in the stead of8478 Jehoiada3077 the priest,3548 that ye should be1961 officers6496 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 for every3605 man376 that is mad,7696 and maketh himself a prophet,5012 that thou shouldest put5414 him in413 prison,4115 and in413 the stocks.6729
27 Now6258 therefore why4100 hast thou not3808 reproved1605 Jeremiah3414 of Anathoth,6069 which maketh himself a prophet5012 to you?
28 For3588 therefore5921 3651 he sent7971 unto413 us in Babylon,894 saying,559 This1931 captivity is long:752 build1129 ye houses,1004 and dwell3427 in them; and plant5193 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them.
29 And Zephaniah6846 the priest3548 read7121 853 this2088 letter5612 in the ears241 of Jeremiah3414 the prophet.5030
30 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
31 Send7971 to5921 all3605 them of the captivity,1473 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite;5161 Because3283 834 that Shemaiah8098 hath prophesied5012 unto you, and I589 sent7971 him not,3808 and he caused you to trust982 853 in5921 a lie:8267
32 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 5921 Shemaiah8098 the Nehelamite,5161 and his seed:2233 he shall not3808 have1961 a man376 to dwell3427 among8432 this2088 people;5971 neither3808 shall he behold7200 the good2896 that834 I589 will do6213 for my people,5971 saith5002 the LORD;3068 because3588 he hath taught1696 rebellion5627 against5921 the LORD.3068
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Thus3541 speaketh559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Write3789 thee 853 all3605 the words1697 that834 I have spoken1696 unto413 thee in413 a book.5612
3 For,3588 lo,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of my people5971 Israel3478 and Judah,3063 saith559 the LORD:3068 and I will cause them to return7725 to413 the land776 that834 I gave5414 to their fathers,1 and they shall possess3423 it.
4 And these428 are the words1697 that834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 concerning413 Israel3478 and concerning413 Judah.3063
5 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 We have heard8085 a voice6963 of trembling,2731 of fear,6343 and not369 of peace.7965
6 Ask7592 ye now,4994 and see7200 whether518 a man2145 doth travail with child?3205 wherefore4069 do I see7200 every3605 man1397 with his hands3027 on5921 his loins,2504 as a woman in travail,3205 and all3605 faces6440 are turned2015 into paleness?3420
7 Alas!1945 for3588 that1931 day3117 is great,1419 so that none4480 369 is like it:3644 it1931 is even the time6256 of Jacob's3290 trouble;6869 but he shall be saved3467 out of4480 it.
8 For it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that I will break7665 his yoke5923 from off4480 5921 thy neck,6677 and will burst5423 thy bonds,4147 and strangers2114 shall no3808 more5750 serve5647 themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve5647 853 the LORD3068 their God,430 and David1732 their king,4428 whom834 I will raise up6965 unto them.
10 Therefore fear3372 thou859 not,408 O my servant5650 Jacob,3290 saith5002 the LORD;3068 neither408 be dismayed,2865 O Israel:3478 for,3588 lo,2009 I will save3467 thee from afar,4480 7350 and thy seed2233 from the land4480 776 of their captivity;7628 and Jacob3290 shall return,7725 and shall be in rest,8252 and be quiet,7599 and none369 shall make him afraid.2729
11 For3588 I589 am with854 thee, saith5002 the LORD,3068 to save3467 thee: though3588 I make6213 a full end3617 of all3605 nations1471 whither834 8033 I have scattered6327 thee, yet389 will I not3808 make6213 a full end3617 of thee: but I will correct3256 thee in measure,4941 and will not3808 leave thee altogether unpunished.5352 5352
12 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Thy bruise7667 is incurable,605 and thy wound4347 is grievous.2470
13 There is none369 to plead1777 thy cause,1779 that thou mayest be bound up:4205 thou hast no369 healing8585 medicines.7499
14 All3605 thy lovers157 have forgotten7911 thee; they seek1875 thee not;3808 for3588 I have wounded5221 thee with the wound4347 of an enemy,341 with the chastisement4148 of a cruel394 one, for5921 the multitude7230 of thine iniquity;5771 because thy sins2403 were increased.6105
15 Why4100 criest2199 thou for5921 thine affliction?7667 thy sorrow4341 is incurable605 for5921 the multitude7230 of thine iniquity:5771 because thy sins2403 were increased,6105 I have done6213 these428 things unto thee.
16 Therefore3651 all3605 they that devour398 thee shall be devoured;398 and all3605 thine adversaries,6862 every one3605 of them, shall go1980 into captivity;7628 and they that spoil7601 thee shall be1961 a spoil,4933 and all3605 that prey962 upon thee will I give5414 for a prey.957
17 For3588 I will restore5927 health724 unto thee, and I will heal7495 thee of thy wounds,4480 4347 saith5002 the LORD;3068 because3588 they called7121 thee an Outcast,5080 saying, This1931 is Zion,6726 whom no369 man seeketh1875 after.
18 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will bring again7725 the captivity7622 of Jacob's3290 tents,168 and have mercy7355 on his dwelling places;4908 and the city5892 shall be built1129 upon5921 her own heap,8510 and the palace759 shall remain3427 after5921 the manner4941 thereof.
19 And out of4480 them shall proceed3318 thanksgiving8426 and the voice6963 of them that make merry:7832 and I will multiply7235 them, and they shall not3808 be few;4591 I will also glorify3513 them, and they shall not3808 be small.6819
20 Their children1121 also shall be1961 as formerly,6924 and their congregation5712 shall be established3559 before6440 me, and I will punish6485 5921 all3605 that oppress3905 them.
21 And their nobles117 shall be1961 of4480 themselves, and their governor4910 shall proceed3318 from the midst4480 7130 of them; and I will cause him to draw near,7126 and he shall approach5066 unto413 me: for3588 who4310 is this2088 that1931 engaged6148 853 his heart3820 to approach5066 unto413 me? saith5002 the LORD.3068
22 And ye shall be1961 my people,5971 and I595 will be1961 your God.430
23 Behold,2009 the whirlwind5591 of the LORD3068 goeth forth3318 with fury,2534 a continuing1641 whirlwind:5591 it shall fall with pain2342 upon5921 the head7218 of the wicked.7563
24 The fierce2740 anger639 of the LORD3068 shall not3808 return,7725 until5704 he have done6213 it, and until5704 he have performed6965 the intents4209 of his heart:3820 in the latter319 days3117 ye shall consider995 it.
1 At the same1931 time,6256 saith5002 the LORD,3068 will I be1961 the God430 of all3605 the families4940 of Israel,3478 and they1992 shall be1961 my people.5971
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 The people5971 which were left8300 of the sword2719 found4672 grace2580 in the wilderness;4057 even Israel,3478 when I went1980 to cause him to rest.7280
3 The LORD3068 hath appeared7200 of old4480 7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved157 thee with an everlasting5769 love:160 therefore5921 3651 with lovingkindness2617 have I drawn4900 thee.
4 Again5750 I will build1129 thee, and thou shalt be built,1129 O virgin1330 of Israel:3478 thou shalt again5750 be adorned5710 with thy tabrets,8596 and shalt go forth3318 in the dances4234 of them that make merry.7832
5 Thou shalt yet5750 plant5193 vines3754 upon the mountains2022 of Samaria:8111 the planters5193 shall plant,5193 and shall eat them as common things.2490
6 For3588 there shall be3426 a day,3117 that the watchmen5341 upon the mount2022 Ephraim669 shall cry,7121 Arise6965 ye, and let us go up5927 to Zion6726 unto413 the LORD3068 our God.430
7 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Sing7442 with gladness8057 for Jacob,3290 and shout6670 among the chief7218 of the nations:1471 publish8085 ye, praise1984 ye, and say,559 O LORD,3068 save3467 853 thy people,5971 853 the remnant7611 of Israel.3478
8 Behold,2009 I will bring935 them from the north6828 country,4480 776 and gather6908 them from the coasts4480 3411 of the earth,776 and with them the blind5787 and the lame,6455 the woman with child2029 and her that travaileth with child3205 together:3162 a great1419 company6951 shall return7725 thither.2008
9 They shall come935 with weeping,1065 and with supplications8469 will I lead2986 them: I will cause them to walk1980 by413 the rivers5158 of waters4325 in a straight3477 way,1870 wherein they shall not3808 stumble:3782 for3588 I am1961 a father1 to Israel,3478 and Ephraim669 is my firstborn.1060
10 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O ye nations,1471 and declare5046 it in the isles339 afar off,4480 4801 and say,559 He that scattered2219 Israel3478 will gather6908 him, and keep8104 him, as a shepherd7462 doth his flock.5739
11 For3588 the LORD3068 hath redeemed6299 853 Jacob,3290 and ransomed1350 him from the hand4480 3027 of him that was stronger2389 than4480 he.
12 Therefore they shall come935 and sing7442 in the height4791 of Zion,6726 and shall flow together5102 to413 the goodness2898 of the LORD,3068 for5921 wheat,1715 and for5921 wine,8492 and for5921 oil,3323 and for5921 the young1121 of the flock6629 and of the herd:1241 and their soul5315 shall be1961 as a watered7302 garden;1588 and they shall not3808 sorrow1669 any more3254 at all.
13 Then227 shall the virgin1330 rejoice8055 in the dance,4234 both young men970 and old2205 together:3162 for I will turn2015 their mourning60 into joy,8342 and will comfort5162 them, and make them rejoice8055 from their sorrow.4480 3015
14 And I will satiate7301 the soul5315 of the priests3548 with fatness,1880 and my people5971 shall be satisfied with7646 853 my goodness,2898 saith5002 the LORD.3068
15 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 A voice6963 was heard8085 in Ramah,7414 lamentation,5092 and bitter8563 weeping;1065 Rachel7354 weeping1058 for5921 her children1121 refused3985 to be comforted5162 for5921 her children,1121 because3588 they were not.369
16 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Refrain4513 thy voice6963 from weeping,4480 1065 and thine eyes5869 from tears:4480 1832 for3588 thy work6468 shall be3426 rewarded,7939 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall come again7725 from the land4480 776 of the enemy.341
17 And there is3426 hope8615 in thine end,319 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that thy children1121 shall come again7725 to their own border.1366
18 I have surely heard8085 8085 Ephraim669 bemoaning himself5110 thus; Thou hast chastised3256 me, and I was chastised,3256 as a bullock5695 unaccustomed3808 3925 to the yoke: turn7725 thou me, and I shall be turned;7725 for3588 thou859 art the LORD3068 my God.430
19 Surely3588 after that310 I was turned,7725 I repented;5162 and after that310 I was instructed,3045 I smote5606 upon5921 my thigh:3409 I was ashamed,954 yea, even1571 confounded,3637 because3588 I did bear5375 the reproach2781 of my youth.5271
20 Is Ephraim669 my dear3357 son?1121 is he a pleasant8191 child?3206 for3588 since4480 1767 I spoke1696 against him, I do earnestly remember2142 2142 him still:5750 therefore5921 3651 my bowels4578 are troubled1993 for him; I will surely have mercy7355 7355 upon him, saith5002 the LORD.3068
21 Set thee up5324 waymarks,6725 make7760 thee high heaps:8564 set7896 thine heart3820 toward the highway,4546 even the way1870 which thou wentest:1980 turn again,7725 O virgin1330 of Israel,3478 turn again7725 to413 these428 thy cities.5892
22 How long5704 4970 wilt thou go about,2559 O thou backsliding7728 daughter?1323 for3588 the LORD3068 hath created1254 a new thing2319 in the earth,776 A woman5347 shall compass5437 a man.1397
23 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 As yet5750 they shall use559 853 this2088 speech1697 in the land776 of Judah3063 and in the cities5892 thereof, when I shall bring again7725 853 their captivity;7622 The LORD3068 bless1288 thee, O habitation5116 of justice,6664 and mountain2022 of holiness.6944
24 And there shall dwell3427 in Judah3063 itself, and in all3605 the cities5892 thereof together,3162 husbandmen,406 and they that go forth5265 with flocks.5739
25 For3588 I have satiated7301 the weary5889 soul,5315 and I have replenished4390 every3605 sorrowful1669 soul.5315
26 Upon5921 this2063 I awaked,6974 and beheld;7200 and my sleep8142 was sweet6149 unto me.
27 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will sow2232 853 the house1004 of Israel3478 and the house1004 of Judah3063 with the seed2233 of man,120 and with the seed2233 of beast.929
28 And it shall come to pass,1961 that like as834 I have watched8245 over5921 them, to pluck up,5428 and to break down,5422 and to throw down,2040 and to destroy,6 and to afflict;7489 so3651 will I watch8245 over5921 them, to build,1129 and to plant,5193 saith5002 the LORD.3068
29 In those1992 days3117 they shall say559 no3808 more,5750 The fathers1 have eaten398 a sour grape,1155 and the children's1121 teeth8127 are set on edge.6949
30 But3588 518 every one376 shall die4191 for his own iniquity:5771 every3605 man120 that eateth398 the sour grape,1155 his teeth8127 shall be set on edge.6949
31 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will make3772 a new2319 covenant1285 with854 the house1004 of Israel,3478 and with854 the house1004 of Judah:3063
32 Not3808 according to the covenant1285 that834 I made3772 with854 their fathers1 in the day3117 that I took2388 them by the hand3027 to bring3318 them out of the land4480 776 of Egypt;4714 which834 853 my covenant1285 they1992 broke,6565 although I595 was a husband1166 unto them, saith5002 the LORD:3068
33 But3588 this2063 shall be the covenant1285 that834 I will make3772 with854 the house1004 of Israel;3478 After310 those1992 days,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 I will put5414 853 my law8451 in their inward parts,7130 and write3789 it in5921 their hearts;3820 and will be1961 their God,430 and they1992 shall be1961 my people.5971
34 And they shall teach3925 no3808 more5750 every man376 853 his neighbor,7453 and every man376 853 his brother,251 saying,559 Know3045 853 the LORD:3068 for3588 they shall all3605 know3045 me, from the least4480 6996 of them unto5704 the greatest1419 of them, saith5002 the LORD:3068 for3588 I will forgive5545 their iniquity,5771 and I will remember2142 their sin2403 no3808 more.5750
35 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 which giveth5414 the sun8121 for a light216 by day,3119 and the ordinances2708 of the moon3394 and of the stars3556 for a light216 by night,3915 which divideth7280 the sea3220 when the waves1530 thereof roar;1993 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name:8034
36 If518 those428 ordinances2706 depart4185 from before4480 6440 me, saith5002 the LORD,3068 then the seed2233 of Israel3478 also1571 shall cease7673 from being4480 1961 a nation1471 before6440 me forever.3605 3117
37 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 heaven8064 above4480 4605 can be measured,4058 and the foundations4146 of the earth776 searched out2713 beneath,4295 I589 will also1571 cast off3988 all3605 the seed2233 of Israel3478 for5921 all3605 that834 they have done,6213 saith5002 the LORD.3068
38 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that the city5892 shall be built1129 to the LORD3068 from the tower4480 4026 of Hananeel2606 unto the gate8179 of the corner.6438
39 And the measuring4060 line6957 shall yet5750 go forth3318 over against5048 it upon5921 the hill1389 Gareb,1619 and shall compass about5437 to Goath.1601
40 And the whole3605 valley6010 of the dead bodies,6297 and of the ashes,1880 and all3605 the fields8309 unto5704 the brook5158 of Kidron,6939 unto5704 the corner6438 of the horse5483 gate8179 toward the east,4217 shall be holy6944 unto the LORD;3068 it shall not3808 be plucked up,5428 nor3808 thrown down2040 any more5750 forever.5769
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD3068 in the tenth6224 year8141 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 which1931 was the eighteenth8083 6240 year8141 of Nebuchadnezzar.5019
2 For then227 the king4428 of Babylon's894 army2428 besieged6696 5921 Jerusalem:3389 and Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 was1961 shut up3607 in the court2691 of the prison,4307 which834 was in the king4428 of Judah's3063 house.1004
3 For834 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 had shut him up,3607 saying,559 Wherefore4069 dost thou859 prophesy,5012 and say,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 this2063 city5892 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall take3920 it;
4 And Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 shall not3808 escape4422 out of the hand4480 3027 of the Chaldeans,3778 but3588 shall surely be delivered5414 5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and shall speak1696 with5973 him mouth6310 to mouth,6310 and his eyes5869 shall behold7200 853 his eyes;5869
5 And he shall lead1980 853 Zedekiah6667 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall he be1961 until5704 I visit6485 him, saith5002 the LORD:3068 though3588 ye fight3898 with854 the Chaldeans,3778 ye shall not3808 prosper.6743
6 And Jeremiah3414 said,559 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 me, saying,559
7 Behold,2009 Hanameel2601 the son1121 of Shallum7967 thine uncle1730 shall come935 unto413 thee, saying,559 Buy7069 thee 853 my field7704 that834 is in Anathoth:6068 for3588 the right4941 of redemption1353 is thine to buy7069 it.
8 So Hanameel2601 mine uncle's1730 son1121 came935 to413 me in413 the court2691 of the prison4307 according to the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and said559 unto413 me, Buy7069 853 my field,7704 I pray thee,4994 that834 is in Anathoth,6068 which834 is in the country776 of Benjamin:1144 for3588 the right4941 of inheritance3425 is thine, and the redemption1353 is thine; buy7069 it for thyself. Then I knew3045 that3588 this1931 was the word1697 of the LORD.3068
9 And I bought7069 853 the field7704 of4480 854 Hanameel2601 my uncle's1730 son,1121 that834 was in Anathoth,6068 and weighed8254 him 853 the money,3701 even seventeen7651 6240 shekels8255 of silver.3701
10 And I subscribed3789 the evidence,5612 and sealed2856 it, and took5749 witnesses,5707 and weighed8254 him the money3701 in the balances.3976
11 So I took3947 853 the evidence5612 of the purchase,4736 both 853 that which was sealed2856 according to the law4687 and custom,2706 and that which was open:1540
12 And I gave5414 853 the evidence5612 of the purchase4736 unto413 Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah,5374 the son1121 of Maaseiah,4271 in the sight5869 of Hanameel2601 mine uncle's1730 son, and in the presence5869 of the witnesses5707 that subscribed3789 the book5612 of the purchase,4736 before5869 all3605 the Jews3064 that sat3427 in the court2691 of the prison.4307
13 And I charged6680 853 Baruch1263 before5869 them, saying,559
14 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Take3947 853 these428 evidences,5612 853 this2088 evidence5612 of the purchase,4736 both which is sealed,2856 and this2088 evidence5612 which is open;1540 and put5414 them in an earthen2789 vessel,3627 that4616 they may continue5975 many7227 days.3117
15 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Houses1004 and fields7704 and vineyards3754 shall be possessed7069 again5750 in this2063 land.776
16 Now when310 I had delivered5414 853 the evidence5612 of the purchase4736 unto413 Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah,5374 I prayed6419 unto413 the LORD,3068 saying,559
17 Ah162 Lord136 GOD!3069 behold,2009 thou859 hast made6213 853 the heaven8064 and the earth776 by thy great1419 power3581 and stretched out5186 arm,2220 and there is nothing3808 3605 1697 too hard6381 for4480 thee:
18 Thou showest6213 lovingkindness2617 unto thousands,505 and recompensest7999 the iniquity5771 of the fathers1 into413 the bosom2436 of their children1121 after310 them: the Great,1419 the Mighty1368 God,410 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 is his name,8034
19 Great1419 in counsel,6098 and mighty7227 in work:5950 for834 thine eyes5869 are open6491 upon5921 all3605 the ways1870 of the sons1121 of men:120 to give5414 every one376 according to his ways,1870 and according to the fruit6529 of his doings:4611
20 Which834 hast set7760 signs226 and wonders4159 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 even unto5704 this2088 day,3117 and in Israel,3478 and among other men;120 and hast made6213 thee a name,8034 as at this2088 day;3117
21 And hast brought forth3318 853 thy people5971 853 Israel3478 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 with signs,226 and with wonders,4159 and with a strong2389 hand,3027 and with a stretched out5186 arm,248 and with great1419 terror;4172
22 And hast given5414 them 853 this2063 land,776 which834 thou didst swear7650 to their fathers1 to give5414 them, a land776 flowing2100 with milk2461 and honey;1706
23 And they came935 in, and possessed3423 it; but they obeyed8085 not3808 thy voice,6963 neither3808 walked1980 in thy law;8451 they have done6213 853 nothing3808 of all3605 that834 thou commandedst6680 them to do:6213 therefore thou hast caused 853 all3605 this2063 evil7451 to come upon7122 them:
24 Behold2009 the mounts,5550 they are come935 unto the city5892 to take3920 it; and the city5892 is given5414 into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans,3778 that fight3898 against5921 it, because4480 6440 of the sword,2719 and of the famine,7458 and of the pestilence:1698 and what834 thou hast spoken1696 is come to pass;1961 and, behold,2009 thou seest7200 it.
25 And thou859 hast said559 unto413 me, O Lord136 GOD,3069 Buy7069 thee the field7704 for money,3701 and take5749 witnesses;5707 for the city5892 is given5414 into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans.3778
26 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
27 Behold,2009 I589 am the LORD,3068 the God430 of all3605 flesh:1320 is there any3605 thing1697 too hard6381 for4480 me?
28 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 this2063 city5892 into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans,3778 and into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall take3920 it:
29 And the Chaldeans,3778 that fight3898 against5921 this2063 city,5892 shall come935 and set3341 fire784 on 853 this2063 city,5892 and burn8313 it with the houses,1004 upon5921 whose834 roofs1406 they have offered incense6999 unto Baal,1168 and poured out5258 drink offerings5262 unto other312 gods,430 to4616 provoke me to anger.3707
30 For3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 and the children1121 of Judah3063 have1961 only389 done6213 evil7451 before5869 me from their youth:4480 5271 for3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 have only389 provoked me to anger3707 853 with the work4639 of their hands,3027 saith5002 the LORD.3068
31 For3588 5921 this2063 city5892 hath been1961 to me as a provocation5921 of mine anger639 and of5921 my fury2534 from4480 the day3117 that834 they built1129 it even unto5704 this2088 day;3117 that I should remove5493 it from before4480 5921 my face,6440
32 Because5921 of all3605 the evil7451 of the children1121 of Israel3478 and of the children1121 of Judah,3063 which834 they have done6213 to provoke me to anger,3707 they,1992 their kings,4428 their princes,8269 their priests,3548 and their prophets,5030 and the men376 of Judah,3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem.3389
33 And they have turned6437 unto413 me the back,6203 and not3808 the face:6440 though I taught3925 them, rising up early7925 and teaching3925 them, yet they have not369 hearkened8085 to receive3947 instruction.4148
34 But they set7760 their abominations8251 in the house,1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name,8034 to defile2930 it.
35 And they built1129 853 the high places1116 of Baal,1168 which834 are in the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 to cause 853 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 to pass through5674 the fire unto Molech;4432 which834 I commanded6680 them not,3808 neither3808 came5927 it into5921 my mind,3820 that they should do6213 this2063 abomination,8441 to4616 cause 853 Judah3063 to sin.2398
36 And now6258 therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning413 this2063 city,5892 whereof834 ye859 say,559 It shall be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon894 by the sword,2719 and by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence;1698
37 Behold,2009 I will gather6908 them out of all4480 3605 countries,776 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 them in mine anger,639 and in my fury,2534 and in great1419 wrath;7110 and I will bring them again7725 unto413 this2088 place,4725 and I will cause them to dwell3427 safely:983
38 And they shall be1961 my people,5971 and I589 will be1961 their God:430
39 And I will give5414 them one259 heart,3820 and one259 way,1870 that they may fear3372 me forever,3605 3117 for the good2896 of them, and of their children1121 after310 them:
40 And I will make3772 an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with them, that834 I will not3808 turn away7725 from4480 310 them, to do them good;3190 853 but I will put5414 my fear3374 in their hearts,3824 that they shall not1115 depart5493 from4480 5921 me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice7797 over5921 them to do them good,2895 853 and I will plant5193 them in this2063 land776 assuredly571 with my whole3605 heart3820 and with my whole3605 soul.5315
42 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Like as834 I have brought935 853 all3605 this2063 great1419 evil7451 upon413 this2088 people,5971 so3651 will I595 bring935 upon5921 them 853 all3605 the good2896 that834 I595 have promised1696 5921 them.
43 And fields7704 shall be bought7069 in this2063 land,776 whereof834 ye859 say,559 It1931 is desolate8077 without4480 369 man120 or beast;929 it is given5414 into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans.3778
44 Men shall buy7069 fields7704 for money,3701 and subscribe3789 evidences,5612 and seal2856 them, and take5749 witnesses5707 in the land776 of Benjamin,1144 and in the places about5439 Jerusalem,3389 and in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the cities5892 of the mountains,2022 and in the cities5892 of the valley,8219 and in the cities5892 of the south:5045 for3588 I will cause 853 their captivity7622 to return,7725 saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 the second8145 time, while he1931 was yet5750 shut up6113 in the court2691 of the prison,4307 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 the maker6213 thereof, the LORD3068 that formed3335 it, to establish3559 it; the LORD3068 is his name;8034
3 Call7121 unto413 me, and I will answer6030 thee, and show5046 thee great1419 and mighty1219 things, which thou knowest3045 not.3808
4 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the houses1004 of this2063 city,5892 and concerning5921 the houses1004 of the kings4428 of Judah,3063 which are thrown down5422 by413 the mounts,5550 and by413 the sword;2719
5 They come935 to fight3898 with854 the Chaldeans,3778 but it is to fill4390 them with854 the dead bodies6297 of men,120 whom834 I have slain5221 in mine anger639 and in my fury,2534 and for5921 all3605 whose834 wickedness7451 I have hid5641 my face6440 from this2063 city.4480 5892
6 Behold,2009 I will bring4608 it health724 and cure,4832 and I will cure7495 them, and will reveal1540 unto them the abundance6283 of peace7965 and truth.571
7 And I will cause 853 the captivity7622 of Judah3063 and the captivity7622 of Israel3478 to return,7725 and will build1129 them, as at the first.7223
8 And I will cleanse2891 them from all4480 3605 their iniquity,5771 whereby834 they have sinned2398 against me; and I will pardon5545 all3605 their iniquities,5771 whereby834 they have sinned,2398 and whereby834 they have transgressed6586 against me.
9 And it shall be1961 to me a name8034 of joy,8342 a praise8416 and an honor8597 before all3605 the nations1471 of the earth,776 which834 shall hear8085 853 all3605 the good2896 that834 I595 do unto6213 them: and they shall fear6342 and tremble7264 for5921 all3605 the goodness2896 and for5921 all3605 the prosperity7965 that834 I595 procure6213 unto it.
10 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Again5750 there shall be heard8085 in this2088 place,4725 which834 ye859 say559 shall be desolate2720 without4480 369 man120 and without4480 369 beast,929 even in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 that are desolate,8074 without4480 369 man,120 and without4480 369 inhabitant,3427 and without4480 369 beast,929
11 The voice6963 of joy,8342 and the voice6963 of gladness,8057 the voice6963 of the bridegroom,2860 and the voice6963 of the bride,3618 the voice6963 of them that shall say,559 Praise3034 853 the LORD3068 of hosts:6635 for3588 the LORD3068 is good;2896 for3588 his mercy2617 endureth forever:5769 and of them that shall bring935 the sacrifice of praise8426 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068 For3588 I will cause to return7725 853 the captivity7622 of the land,776 as at the first,7223 saith559 the LORD.3068
12 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Again5750 in this2088 place,4725 which is desolate2720 without4480 369 man120 and without5704 beast,929 and in all3605 the cities5892 thereof, shall be1961 a habitation5116 of shepherds7462 causing their flocks6629 to lie down.7257
13 In the cities5892 of the mountains,2022 in the cities5892 of the vale,8219 and in the cities5892 of the south,5045 and in the land776 of Benjamin,1144 and in the places about5439 Jerusalem,3389 and in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 shall the flocks6629 pass5674 again5750 under5921 the hands3027 of him that telleth4487 them, saith559 the LORD.3068
14 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will perform6965 853 that good2896 thing1697 which834 I have promised1696 unto413 the house1004 of Israel3478 and to5704 the house1004 of Judah.3063
15 In those1992 days,3117 and at that1931 time,6256 will I cause the Branch6780 of righteousness6666 to grow up6779 unto David;1732 and he shall execute6213 judgment4941 and righteousness6666 in the land.776
16 In those1992 days3117 shall Judah3063 be saved,3467 and Jerusalem3389 shall dwell7931 safely:983 and this2088 is the name wherewith834 she shall be called,7121 The LORD3068 our righteousness.6664
17 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 David1732 shall never3808 want3772 a man376 to sit3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of the house1004 of Israel;3478
18 Neither3808 shall the priests3548 the Levites3881 want3772 a man376 before4480 6440 me to offer5927 burnt offerings,5930 and to kindle6999 meat offerings,4503 and to do6213 sacrifice2077 continually.3605 3117
19 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
20 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 ye can break6565 853 my covenant1285 of the day,3117 and my covenant1285 of the night,3915 and that there should not1115 be1961 day3119 and night3915 in their season;6256
21 Then may also1571 my covenant1285 be broken6565 with854 David1732 my servant,5650 that he should not have4480 1961 a son1121 to reign4427 upon5921 his throne;3678 and with854 the Levites3881 the priests,3548 my ministers.8334
22 As834 the host6635 of heaven8064 cannot3808 be numbered,5608 neither3808 the sand2344 of the sea3220 measured:4058 so3651 will I multiply7235 853 the seed2233 of David1732 my servant,5650 and the Levites3881 that minister unto8334 me.
23 Moreover the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
24 Considerest7200 thou not3808 what4100 this2088 people5971 have spoken,1696 saying,559 The two8147 families4940 which834 the LORD3068 hath chosen,977 he hath even cast them off?3988 thus they have despised5006 my people,5971 that they should be no4480 1961 more5750 a nation1471 before6440 them.
25 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 If518 my covenant1285 be not3808 with day3119 and night,3915 and if I have not3808 appointed7760 the ordinances2708 of heaven8064 and earth;776
26 Then1571 will I cast away3988 the seed2233 of Jacob,3290 and David1732 my servant,5650 so that I will not take4480 3947 any of his seed4480 2233 to be rulers4910 over413 the seed2233 of Abraham,85 Isaac,3446 and Jacob:3290 for3588 I will cause 853 their captivity7622 to return,7725 and have mercy7355 on them.
1 The word1697 which834 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 when Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and all3605 his army,2428 and all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth776 of his dominion,4480 4475 3027 and all3605 the people,5971 fought3898 against5921 Jerusalem,3389 and against5921 all3605 the cities5892 thereof, saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel;3478 Go1980 and speak559 to413 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 and tell559 413 him, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 this2063 city5892 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall burn8313 it with fire:784
3 And thou859 shalt not3808 escape4422 out of his hand,4480 3027 but3588 shalt surely be taken,8610 8610 and delivered5414 into his hand;3027 and thine eyes5869 shall behold7200 853 the eyes5869 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall speak1696 with854 thee mouth6310 to mouth,6310 and thou shalt go935 to Babylon.894
4 Yet389 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of5921 thee, Thou shalt not3808 die4191 by the sword:2719
5 But thou shalt die4191 in peace:7965 and with the burnings4955 of thy fathers,1 the former7223 kings4428 which834 were1961 before6440 thee, so3651 shall they burn8313 odors for thee; and they will lament5594 thee, saying, Ah1945 lord!113 for3588 I589 have pronounced1696 the word,1697 saith5002 the LORD.3068
6 Then Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 spoke1696 853 all3605 these428 words1697 unto413 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 in Jerusalem,3389
7 When the king4428 of Babylon's894 army2428 fought3898 against5921 Jerusalem,3389 and against5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah3063 that were left,3498 against413 Lachish,3923 and against413 Azekah:5825 for3588 these2007 defensed4013 cities5892 remained7604 of the cities5892 of Judah.3063
8 This is the word1697 that834 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 after that310 the king4428 Zedekiah6667 had made3772 a covenant1285 with854 all3605 the people5971 which834 were at Jerusalem,3389 to proclaim7121 liberty1865 unto them;
9 That every man376 should let 853 his manservant,5650 and every man376 853 his maidservant,8198 being a Hebrew5680 or a Hebrewess,5680 go7971 free;2670 that none1115 376 should serve5647 himself of them, to wit, of a Jew3064 his brother.251
10 Now when all3605 the princes,8269 and all3605 the people,5971 which834 had entered935 into the covenant,1285 heard8085 that every one376 should let 853 his manservant,5650 and every one376 853 his maidservant,8198 go7971 free,2670 that none1115 should serve5647 themselves of them any more,5750 then they obeyed,8085 and let them go.7971
11 But afterward310 3651 they turned,7725 and caused 853 the servants5650 and the handmaids,8198 whom834 they had let go7971 free,2670 to return,7725 and brought them into subjection3533 for servants5650 and for handmaids.8198
12 Therefore the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
13 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel;3478 I595 made3772 a covenant1285 with854 your fathers1 in the day3117 that I brought them forth3318 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 out of the house4480 1004 of bondmen,5650 saying,559
14 At the end4480 7093 of seven7651 years8141 let ye go7971 every man376 853 his brother251 a Hebrew,5680 which834 hath been sold4376 unto thee; and when he hath served5647 thee six8337 years,8141 thou shalt let him go7971 free2670 from4480 5973 thee: but your fathers1 hearkened8085 not3808 unto413 me, neither3808 inclined5186 853 their ear.241
15 And ye859 were now3117 turned,7725 and had done6213 853 right3477 in my sight,5869 in proclaiming7121 liberty1865 every man376 to his neighbor;7453 and ye had made3772 a covenant1285 before6440 me in the house1004 which834 is called7121 by5921 my name:8034
16 But ye turned7725 and polluted2490 853 my name,8034 and caused every man376 853 his servant,5650 and every man376 853 his handmaid,8198 whom834 ye had set7971 at liberty2670 at their pleasure,5315 to return,7725 and brought them into subjection,3533 853 to be1961 unto you for servants5650 and for handmaids.8198
17 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Ye859 have not3808 hearkened8085 unto413 me, in proclaiming7121 liberty,1865 every one376 to his brother,251 and every man376 to his neighbor:7453 behold,2009 I proclaim7121 a liberty1865 for you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 to413 the sword,2719 to413 the pestilence,1698 and to413 the famine;7458 and I will make5414 you to be removed2189 into all3605 the kingdoms4467 of the earth.776
18 And I will give5414 853 the men376 that have transgressed5674 853 my covenant,1285 which834 have not3808 performed6965 853 the words1697 of the covenant1285 which834 they had made3772 before6440 me, when834 they cut3772 the calf5695 in twain,8147 and passed5674 between996 the parts1335 thereof,
19 The princes8269 of Judah,3063 and the princes8269 of Jerusalem,3389 the eunuchs,5631 and the priests,3548 and all3605 the people5971 of the land,776 which passed5674 between996 the parts1335 of the calf;5695
20 I will even give5414 them into the hand3027 of their enemies,341 and into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 their life:5315 and their dead bodies5038 shall be1961 for meat3978 unto the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and to the beasts929 of the earth.776
21 And Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 and his princes8269 will I give5414 into the hand3027 of their enemies,341 and into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 their life,5315 and into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon's894 army,2428 which are gone up5927 from4480 5921 you.
22 Behold,2009 I will command,6680 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and cause them to return7725 to413 this2063 city;5892 and they shall fight3898 against5921 it, and take3920 it, and burn8313 it with fire:784 and I will make5414 the cities5892 of Judah3063 a desolation8077 without4480 369 an inhabitant.3427
1 The word1697 which834 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD3068 in the days3117 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559
2 Go1980 unto413 the house1004 of the Rechabites,7397 and speak unto1696 them, and bring935 them into the house1004 of the LORD,3068 into413 one259 of the chambers,3957 and give them wine3196 to drink.8248
3 Then I took3947 853 Jaazaniah2970 the son1121 of Jeremiah,3414 the son1121 of Habaziniah,2262 and his brethren,251 and all3605 his sons,1121 and the whole3605 house1004 of the Rechabites;7397
4 And I brought935 them into the house1004 of the LORD,3068 into413 the chamber3957 of the sons1121 of Hanan,2605 the son1121 of Igdaliah,3012 a man376 of God,430 which834 was by681 the chamber3957 of the princes,8269 which834 was above4480 4605 the chamber3957 of Maaseiah4641 the son1121 of Shallum,7967 the keeper8104 of the door:5592
5 And I set5414 before6440 the sons1121 of the house1004 of the Rechabites7397 pots1375 full4392 of wine,3196 and cups,3563 and I said559 unto413 them, Drink8354 ye wine.3196
6 But they said,559 We will drink8354 no3808 wine:3196 for3588 Jonadab3122 the son1121 of Rechab7394 our father1 commanded6680 5921 us, saying,559 Ye shall drink8354 no3808 wine,3196 neither ye,859 nor your sons1121 forever:5704 5769
7 Neither3808 shall ye build1129 house,1004 nor3808 sow2232 seed,2233 nor3808 plant5193 vineyard,3754 nor3808 have1961 any: but3588 all3605 your days3117 ye shall dwell3427 in tents;168 that4616 ye may live2421 many7227 days3117 in5921 6440 the land127 where834 8033 ye859 be strangers.1481
8 Thus have we obeyed8085 the voice6963 of Jonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 our father1 in all3605 that834 he hath charged6680 us, to drink8354 no1115 wine3196 all3605 our days,3117 we,587 our wives,802 our sons,1121 nor our daughters;1323
9 Nor1115 to build1129 houses1004 for us to dwell3427 in: neither3808 have1961 we vineyard,3754 nor field,7704 nor seed:2233
10 But we have dwelt3427 in tents,168 and have obeyed,8085 and done6213 according to all3605 that834 Jonadab3122 our father1 commanded6680 us.
11 But it came to pass,1961 when Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 came up5927 into413 the land,776 that we said,559 Come,935 and let us go935 to Jerusalem3389 for fear4480 6440 of the army2428 of the Chaldeans,3778 and for fear4480 6440 of the army2428 of the Syrians:758 so we dwell3427 at Jerusalem.3389
12 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
13 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Go1980 and tell559 the men376 of Judah3063 and the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 Will ye not3808 receive3947 instruction4148 to hearken8085 to413 my words?1697 saith5002 the LORD.3068
14 853 The words1697 of Jonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab,7394 that834 he commanded6680 853 his sons1121 not1115 to drink8354 wine,3196 are performed;6965 for unto5704 this2088 day3117 they drink8354 none,3808 but3588 obey8085 853 their father's1 commandment:4687 notwithstanding I595 have spoken1696 unto413 you, rising early7925 and speaking;1696 but ye hearkened8085 not3808 unto413 me.
15 I have sent7971 also unto413 you 853 all3605 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising up early7925 and sending7971 them, saying,559 Return7725 ye now4994 every man376 from his evil7451 way,4480 1870 and amend3190 your doings,4611 and go1980 not408 after310 other312 gods430 to serve5647 them, and ye shall dwell3427 in413 the land127 which834 I have given5414 to you and to your fathers:1 but ye have not3808 inclined5186 853 your ear,241 nor3808 hearkened8085 unto413 me.
16 Because3588 the sons1121 of Jonadab3082 the son1121 of Rechab7394 have performed6965 853 the commandment4687 of their father,1 which834 he commanded6680 them; but this2088 people5971 hath not3808 hearkened8085 unto413 me:
17 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will bring935 upon413 Judah3063 and upon413 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 I have pronounced1696 against5921 them: because3282 I have spoken1696 unto413 them, but they have not3808 heard;8085 and I have called7121 unto them, but they have not3808 answered.6030
18 And Jeremiah3414 said559 unto the house1004 of the Rechabites,7397 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Because3283 834 ye have obeyed8085 5921 the commandment4687 of Jonadab3082 your father,1 and kept8104 853 all3605 his precepts,4687 and done6213 according unto all3605 that834 he hath commanded6680 you:
19 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Jonadab3122 the son1121 of Rechab7394 shall not3808 want3772 a man376 to stand5975 before6440 me forever.3605 3117
1 And it came to pass1961 in the fourth7243 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 that this2088 word1697 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 saying,559
2 Take3947 thee a roll4039 of a book,5612 and write3789 therein413 853 all3605 the words1697 that834 I have spoken1696 unto413 thee against5921 Israel,3478 and against5921 Judah,3063 and against5921 all3605 the nations,1471 from the day4480 3117 I spoke1696 unto413 thee, from the days4480 3117 of Josiah,2977 even unto5704 this2088 day.3117
3 It may be that194 the house1004 of Judah3063 will hear8085 853 all3605 the evil7451 which834 I595 purpose2803 to do6213 unto them; that4616 they may return7725 every man376 from his evil7451 way;4480 1870 that I may forgive5545 their iniquity5771 and their sin.2403
4 Then Jeremiah3414 called7121 853 Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah:5374 and Baruch1263 wrote3789 from the mouth4480 6310 of Jeremiah3414 853 all3605 the words1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he had spoken1696 unto413 him, upon5921 a roll4039 of a book.5612
5 And Jeremiah3414 commanded6680 853 Baruch,1263 saying,559 I589 am shut up;6113 I cannot3201 3808 go935 into the house1004 of the LORD:3068
6 Therefore go935 thou,859 and read7121 in the roll,4039 which834 thou hast written3789 from my mouth,4480 6310 853 the words1697 of the LORD3068 in the ears241 of the people5971 in the LORD's3068 house1004 upon the fasting6685 day:3117 and also1571 thou shalt read7121 them in the ears241 of all3605 Judah3063 that come935 out of their cities.4480 5892
7 It may be194 they will present5307 their supplication8467 before6440 the LORD,3068 and will return7725 every one376 from his evil7451 way:4480 1870 for3588 great1419 is the anger639 and the fury2534 that834 the LORD3068 hath pronounced1696 against413 this2088 people.5971
8 And Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah5374 did6213 according to all3605 that834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 commanded6680 him, reading7121 in the book5612 the words1697 of the LORD3068 in the LORD's3068 house.1004
9 And it came to pass1961 in the fifth2549 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the ninth8671 month,2320 that they proclaimed7121 a fast6685 before6440 the LORD3068 to all3605 the people5971 in Jerusalem,3389 and to all3605 the people5971 that came935 from the cities4480 5892 of Judah3063 unto Jerusalem.3389
10 Then read7121 Baruch1263 in the book5612 853 the words1697 of Jeremiah3414 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 in the chamber3957 of Gemariah1587 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 the scribe,5608 in the higher5945 court,2691 at the entry6607 of the new2319 gate8179 of the LORD's3068 house,1004 in the ears241 of all3605 the people.5971
11 When Michaiah4321 the son1121 of Gemariah,1587 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 had heard8085 out of4480 5921 the book5612 853 all3605 the words1697 of the LORD,3068
12 Then he went down3381 into5921 the king's4428 house,1004 into5921 the scribe's5608 chamber:3957 and, lo,2009 all3605 the princes8269 sat3427 there,8033 even Elishama476 the scribe,5608 and Delaiah1806 the son1121 of Shemaiah,8098 and Elnathan494 the son1121 of Achbor,5907 and Gemariah1587 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 and Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Hananiah,2608 and all3605 the princes.8269
13 Then Michaiah4321 declared5046 unto them 853 all3605 the words1697 that834 he had heard,8085 when Baruch1263 read7121 the book5612 in the ears241 of the people.5971
14 Therefore all3605 the princes8269 sent7971 853 Jehudi3065 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 the son1121 of Shelemiah,8018 the son1121 of Cushi,3570 unto413 Baruch,1263 saying,559 Take3947 in thine hand3027 the roll4039 wherein834 thou hast read7121 in the ears241 of the people,5971 and come.1980 So Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah5374 took3947 853 the roll4039 in his hand,3027 and came935 unto413 them.
15 And they said559 unto413 him, Sit down3427 now,4994 and read7121 it in our ears.241 So Baruch1263 read7121 it in their ears.241
16 Now it came to pass,1961 when they had heard8085 853 all3605 the words,1697 they were afraid6342 both413 one376 and other,7453 and said559 unto413 Baruch,1263 We will surely tell5046 5046 the king4428 of 853 all3605 these428 words.1697
17 And they asked7592 Baruch,1263 saying,559 Tell5046 us now,4994 How349 didst thou write3789 853 all3605 these428 words1697 at his mouth?4480 6310
18 Then Baruch1263 answered559 them, He pronounced7121 853 all3605 these428 words1697 unto413 me with his mouth,4480 6310 and I589 wrote3789 them with ink1773 in5921 the book.5612
19 Then said559 the princes8269 unto413 Baruch,1263 Go,1980 hide5641 thee, thou859 and Jeremiah;3414 and let no408 man376 know3045 where375 ye be.
20 And they went in935 to413 the king4428 into the court,2691 but they laid up6485 the roll4039 in the chamber3957 of Elishama476 the scribe,5608 and told5046 853 all3605 the words1697 in the ears241 of the king.4428
21 So the king4428 sent7971 853 Jehudi3065 to fetch3947 853 the roll:4039 and he took3947 it out of Elishama476 the scribe's5608 chamber.4480 3957 And Jehudi3065 read7121 it in the ears241 of the king,4428 and in the ears241 of all3605 the princes8269 which stood5975 beside4480 5921 the king.4428
22 Now the king4428 sat3427 in the winterhouse1004 2779 in the ninth8671 month:2320 and there was a fire on the hearth254 burning1197 before6440 him.
23 And it came to pass,1961 that when Jehudi3065 had read7121 three7969 or four702 leaves,1817 he cut7167 it with the penknife,8593 5608 and cast7993 it into413 the fire784 that834 was on413 the hearth,254 until5704 all3605 the roll4039 was consumed8552 in5921 the fire784 that834 was on5921 the hearth.254
24 Yet they were not3808 afraid,6342 nor3808 rent7167 853 their garments,899 neither the king,4428 nor any3605 of his servants5650 that heard8085 853 all3605 these428 words.1697
25 Nevertheless1571 Elnathan494 and Delaiah1806 and Gemariah1587 had made intercession6293 to the king4428 that he would not1115 burn8313 853 the roll:4039 but he would not3808 hear8085 413 them.
26 But the king4428 commanded6680 853 Jerahmeel3396 the son1121 of Hammelech,4429 and Seraiah8304 the son1121 of Azriel,5837 and Shelemiah8018 the son1121 of Abdeel,5655 to take3947 853 Baruch1263 the scribe5608 and Jeremiah3414 the prophet:5030 but the LORD3068 hid5641 them.
27 Then the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to413 Jeremiah,3414 after that310 the king4428 had burned8313 853 the roll,4039 and the words1697 which834 Baruch1263 wrote3789 at the mouth4480 6310 of Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
28 Take3947 thee again7725 another312 roll,4039 and write3789 in5921 it 853 all3605 the former7223 words1697 that834 were1961 in5921 the first7223 roll,4039 which834 Jehoiakim3079 the king4428 of Judah3063 hath burned.8313
29 And thou shalt say559 to5921 Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah,3063 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Thou859 hast burned8313 853 this2063 roll,4039 saying,559 Why4069 hast thou written3789 therein,5921 saying,559 The king4428 of Babylon894 shall certainly come935 935 and destroy7843 853 this2063 land,776 and shall cause to cease7673 from4480 thence man120 and beast?929
30 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of5921 Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah;3063 He shall have1961 none3808 to sit3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David:1732 and his dead body5038 shall be1961 cast out7993 in the day3117 to the heat,2721 and in the night3915 to the frost.7140
31 And I will punish6485 5921 him and his seed2233 and his servants5650 for 853 their iniquity;5771 and I will bring935 upon5921 them, and upon5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and upon413 the men376 of Judah,3063 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 I have pronounced1696 against413 them; but they hearkened8085 not.3808
32 Then took3947 Jeremiah3414 another312 roll,4039 and gave5414 it to413 Baruch1263 the scribe,5608 the son1121 of Neriah;5374 who wrote3789 therein5921 from the mouth4480 6310 of Jeremiah3414 853 all3605 the words1697 of the book5612 which834 Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 had burned8313 in the fire:784 and there were added3254 besides5750 unto5921 them many7227 like1992 words.1697
1 And king4428 Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Josiah2977 reigned4427 instead8478 of Coniah3659 the son1121 of Jehoiakim,3079 whom834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 made king4427 in the land776 of Judah.3063
2 But neither3808 he,1931 nor his servants,5650 nor the people5971 of the land,776 did hearken8085 unto413 the words1697 of the LORD,3068 which834 he spoke1696 by3027 the prophet5030 Jeremiah.3414
3 And Zedekiah6667 the king4428 sent7971 853 Jehucal3081 the son1121 of Shelemiah8018 and Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Maaseiah4641 the priest3548 to413 the prophet5030 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559 Pray6419 now4994 unto413 the LORD3068 our God430 for1157 us.
4 Now Jeremiah3414 came in935 and went out3318 among8432 the people:5971 for they had not3808 put5414 him into prison.1004 3628
5 Then Pharaoh's6547 army2428 was come forth3318 out of Egypt:4480 4714 and when the Chaldeans3778 that besieged6696 5921 Jerusalem3389 heard8085 853 tidings8088 of them, they departed5927 from4480 5921 Jerusalem.3389
6 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 the prophet5030 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
7 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall ye say559 to413 the king4428 of Judah,3063 that sent7971 you unto413 me to inquire1875 of me; Behold,2009 Pharaoh's6547 army,2428 which is come forth3318 to help5833 you, shall return7725 to Egypt4714 into their own land.776
8 And the Chaldeans3778 shall come again,7725 and fight3898 against5921 this2063 city,5892 and take3920 it, and burn8313 it with fire.784
9 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Deceive5377 not408 yourselves,5315 saying,559 The Chaldeans3778 shall surely depart1980 1980 from4480 5921 us: for3588 they shall not3808 depart.1980
10 For3588 though518 ye had smitten5221 the whole3605 army2428 of the Chaldeans3778 that fight3898 against854 you, and there remained7604 but wounded1856 men376 among them, yet should they rise6965 every man376 in his tent,168 and burn8313 853 this2063 city5892 with fire.784
11 And it came to pass,1961 that when the army2428 of the Chaldeans3778 was broken up5927 from4480 5921 Jerusalem3389 for fear4480 6440 of Pharaoh's6547 army,2428
12 Then Jeremiah3414 went forth3318 out of Jerusalem4480 3389 to go1980 into the land776 of Benjamin,1144 to separate himself2505 thence4480 8033 in the midst8432 of the people.5971
13 And when he1931 was1961 in the gate8179 of Benjamin,1144 a captain1167 of the ward6488 was there,8033 whose name8034 was Irijah,3376 the son1121 of Shelemiah,8018 the son1121 of Hananiah;2608 and he took8610 853 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 saying,559 Thou859 fallest away5307 to413 the Chaldeans.3778
14 Then said559 Jeremiah,3414 It is false;8267 I fall5307 not369 away to5921 the Chaldeans.3778 But he hearkened8085 not3808 to413 him: so Irijah3376 took8610 Jeremiah,3414 and brought935 him to413 the princes.8269
15 Wherefore the princes8269 were wroth7107 with5921 Jeremiah,3414 and smote5221 him, and put5414 him in prison1004 612 in the house1004 of Jonathan3083 the scribe:5608 for3588 they had made6213 that the prison.1004 3608
16 When3588 Jeremiah3414 was entered935 into413 the dungeon,1004 953 and into413 the cabins,2588 and Jeremiah3414 had remained3427 there8033 many7227 days;3117
17 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 sent,7971 and took3947 him out: and the king4428 asked7592 him secretly5643 in his house,1004 and said,559 Is there3426 any word1697 from4480 854 the LORD?3068 And Jeremiah3414 said,559 There is:3426 for, said559 he, thou shalt be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
18 Moreover Jeremiah3414 said559 unto413 king4428 Zedekiah,6667 What4100 have I offended2398 against thee, or against thy servants,5650 or against this2088 people,5971 that3588 ye have put5414 me in413 prison?1004 3608
19 Where346 are now your prophets5030 which834 prophesied5012 unto you, saying,559 The king4428 of Babylon894 shall not3808 come935 against5921 you, nor against5921 this2063 land?776
20 Therefore hear8085 now,6258 I pray thee,4994 O my lord113 the king:4428 let my supplication,8467 I pray thee,4994 be accepted5307 before6440 thee; that thou cause me not408 to return7725 to the house1004 of Jonathan3083 the scribe,5608 lest3808 I die4191 there.8033
21 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 commanded6680 that they should commit6485 853 Jeremiah3414 into the court2691 of the prison,4307 and that they should give5414 him daily3117 a piece3603 of bread3899 out of the bakers'644 street,4480 2351 until5704 all3605 the bread3899 in4480 the city5892 were spent.8552 Thus Jeremiah3414 remained3427 in the court2691 of the prison.4307
1 Then Shephatiah8203 the son1121 of Mattan,4977 and Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Pashur,6583 and Jucal3116 the son1121 of Shelemiah,8018 and Pashur6583 the son1121 of Malchiah,4441 heard8085 853 the words1697 that834 Jeremiah3414 had spoken1696 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 He that remaineth3427 in this2063 city5892 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence:1698 but he that goeth forth3318 to413 the Chaldeans3778 shall live;2421 for he shall have1961 his life5315 for a prey,7998 and shall live.2425
3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 This2063 city5892 shall surely be given5414 5414 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon's894 army,2428 which shall take3920 it.
4 Therefore the princes8269 said559 unto413 the king,4428 We beseech thee,4994 let 853 this2088 man376 be put to death:4191 for3588 thus5921 3651 he1931 weakeneth7503 853 the hands3027 of the men376 of war4421 that remain7604 in this2063 city,5892 and the hands3027 of all3605 the people,5971 in speaking1696 such428 words1697 unto413 them: for3588 this2088 man376 seeketh1875 not369 the welfare7965 of this2088 people,5971 but3588 518 the hurt.7451
5 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 said,559 Behold,2009 he1931 is in your hand:3027 for3588 the king4428 is not369 he that can do3201 any thing1697 against you.
6 Then took3947 they 853 Jeremiah,3414 and cast7993 him into413 the dungeon953 of Malchiah4441 the son1121 of Hammelech,4429 that834 was in the court2691 of the prison:4307 and they let down7971 853 Jeremiah3414 with cords.2256 And in the dungeon953 there was no369 water,4325 but3588 518 mire:2916 so Jeremiah3414 sunk2883 in the mire.2916
7 Now when Ebed-melech5663 the Ethiopian,3569 one376 of the eunuchs5631 which1931 was in the king's4428 house,1004 heard8085 that3588 they had put5414 853 Jeremiah3414 in413 the dungeon;953 the king4428 then sitting3427 in the gate8179 of Benjamin;1144
8 Ebed-melech5663 went forth3318 out of the king's4428 house,4480 1004 and spoke1696 to413 the king,4428 saying,559
9 My lord113 the king,4428 these428 men376 have done evil7489 in 853 all3605 that834 they have done6213 to Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 853 whom834 they have cast7993 into413 the dungeon;953 and he is like to die4191 for4480 6440 hunger7458 in the place where8478 he is: for3588 there is no369 more5750 bread3899 in the city.5892
10 Then the king4428 commanded6680 853 Ebed-melech5663 the Ethiopian,3569 saying,559 Take3947 from hence4480 2088 thirty7970 men376 with3027 thee, and take up5927 853 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 out of4480 the dungeon,953 before2962 he die.4191
11 So Ebed-melech5663 took3947 853 the men376 with3027 him, and went into935 the house1004 of the king4428 under413 8478 the treasury,214 and took3947 thence4480 8033 old1094 cast clouts5499 and old1094 rotten rags,4418 and let them down7971 by cords2256 into413 the dungeon953 to413 Jeremiah.3414
12 And Ebed-melech5663 the Ethiopian3569 said559 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 Put7760 now4994 these old1094 cast clouts5499 and rotten rags4418 under8478 thine armholes679 3027 under4480 8478 the cords.2256 And Jeremiah3414 did6213 so.3651
13 So they drew up4900 853 Jeremiah3414 with cords,2256 and took him up5927 853 out of4480 the dungeon:953 and Jeremiah3414 remained3427 in the court2691 of the prison.4307
14 Then Zedekiah6667 the king4428 sent,7971 and took3947 853 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 unto413 him into413 the third7992 entry3996 that834 is in the house1004 of the LORD:3068 and the king4428 said559 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 I589 will ask7592 thee a thing;1697 hide3582 nothing408 1697 from4480 me.
15 Then Jeremiah3414 said559 unto413 Zedekiah,6667 If3588 I declare5046 it unto thee, wilt thou not3808 surely put me to death?4191 4191 and if3588 I give thee counsel,3289 wilt thou not3808 hearken8085 unto413 me?
16 So Zedekiah6667 the king4428 swore7650 secretly5643 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559 As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 853 that834 made6213 us 853 this2063 soul,5315 I will not518 put thee to death,4191 neither518 will I give5414 thee into the hand3027 of these428 men376 that834 seek1245 853 thy life.5315
17 Then said559 Jeremiah3414 unto413 Zedekiah,6667 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 If518 thou wilt assuredly go forth3318 3318 unto413 the king4428 of Babylon's894 princes,8269 then thy soul5315 shall live,2421 and this2063 city5892 shall not3808 be burned8313 with fire;784 and thou859 shalt live,2421 and thine house:1004
18 But if518 thou wilt not3808 go forth3318 to413 the king4428 of Babylon's894 princes,8269 then shall this2063 city5892 be given5414 into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans,3778 and they shall burn8313 it with fire,784 and thou859 shalt not3808 escape4422 out of their hand.4480 3027
19 And Zedekiah6667 the king4428 said559 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 I589 am afraid of1672 853 the Jews3064 that834 are fallen5307 to413 the Chaldeans,3778 lest6435 they deliver5414 me into their hand,3027 and they mock5953 me.
20 But Jeremiah3414 said,559 They shall not3808 deliver5414 thee. Obey,8085 I beseech thee,4994 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 which834 I589 speak1696 unto413 thee: so it shall be well3190 unto thee, and thy soul5315 shall live.2421
21 But if518 thou859 refuse3986 to go forth,3318 this2088 is the word1697 that834 the LORD3068 hath showed7200 me:
22 And, behold,2009 all3605 the women802 that834 are left7604 in the king4428 of Judah's3063 house1004 shall be brought forth3318 to413 the king4428 of Babylon's894 princes,8269 and those2007 women shall say,559 Thy friends376 7965 have set5496 thee on, and have prevailed3201 against thee: thy feet7272 are sunk2883 in the mire,1206 and they are turned away5472 back.268
23 So they shall bring out3318 all3605 thy wives802 and thy children1121 to413 the Chaldeans:3778 and thou859 shalt not3808 escape4422 out of their hand,4480 3027 but3588 shalt be taken8610 by the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon:894 and thou shalt cause this2063 city5892 to be burned8313 with fire.784
24 Then said559 Zedekiah6667 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 Let no408 man376 know3045 of these428 words,1697 and thou shalt not3808 die.4191
25 But if3588 the princes8269 hear8085 that3588 I have talked1696 with854 thee, and they come935 unto413 thee, and say559 unto413 thee, Declare5046 unto us now4994 what4100 thou hast said1696 unto413 the king,4428 hide3582 it not408 from4480 us, and we will not3808 put thee to death;4191 also what4100 the king4428 said1696 unto413 thee:
26 Then thou shalt say559 unto413 them, I589 presented5307 my supplication8467 before6440 the king,4428 that he would not1115 cause me to return7725 to Jonathan's3129 house,1004 to die4191 there.8033
27 Then came935 all3605 the princes8269 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 and asked7592 him: and he told5046 them according to all3605 these428 words1697 that834 the king4428 had commanded.6680 So they left off speaking2790 with4480 him; for3588 the matter1697 was not3808 perceived.8085
28 So Jeremiah3414 abode3427 in the court2691 of the prison4307 until5704 the day3117 that834 Jerusalem3389 was taken:3920 and he was1961 there when834 Jerusalem3389 was taken.3920
1 In the ninth8671 year8141 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the tenth6224 month,2320 came935 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 and all3605 his army2428 against413 Jerusalem,3389 and they besieged6696 it.
2 And in the eleventh6249 6240 year8141 of Zedekiah,6667 in the fourth7243 month,2320 the ninth8672 day of the month,2320 the city5892 was broken up.1234
3 And all3605 the princes8269 of the king4428 of Babylon894 came in,935 and sat3427 in the middle8432 gate,8179 even Nergal-sharezer,5371 Samgar-nebo,5562 Sarsechim,8310 Rabsaris,7249 Nergal-sharezer,5371 Rab-mag,7248 with all3605 the residue7611 of the princes8269 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
4 And it came to pass,1961 that when834 Zedekiah6667 the king4428 of Judah3063 saw7200 them, and all3605 the men376 of war,4421 then they fled,1272 and went forth3318 out of4480 the city5892 by night,3915 by the way1870 of the king's4428 garden,1588 by the gate8179 between996 the two walls:2346 and he went out3318 the way1870 of the plain.6160
5 But the Chaldeans'3778 army2428 pursued7291 after310 them, and overtook5381 853 Zedekiah6667 in the plains6160 of Jericho:3405 and when they had taken3947 him, they brought him up5927 to413 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 to Riblah7247 in the land776 of Hamath,2574 where he gave1696 judgment4941 upon854 him.
6 Then the king4428 of Babylon894 slew7819 853 the sons1121 of Zedekiah6667 in Riblah7247 before his eyes:5869 also the king4428 of Babylon894 slew7819 all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah.3063
7 Moreover he put out5786 Zedekiah's6677 eyes,5869 and bound631 him with chains,5178 to carry935 him to Babylon.894
8 And the Chaldeans3778 burned8313 the king's4428 house,1004 and the houses1004 of the people,5971 with fire,784 and broke down5422 the walls2346 of Jerusalem.3389
9 Then227 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 carried away captive1540 into Babylon894 the remnant3499 of the people5971 that remained7604 in the city,5892 and those that fell away,5307 that834 fell5307 to5921 him, with 853 the rest3499 of the people5971 that remained.7604
10 But Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 left7604 of the poor1800 of4480 the people,5971 which834 had nothing,369 3972 in the land776 of Judah,3063 and gave5414 them vineyards3754 and fields3010 at the same1931 time.3117
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 gave charge6680 concerning5921 Jeremiah3414 to3027 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard,2876 saying,559
12 Take3947 him, and look well5869 7760 to5921 him, and do6213 him no408 3972 harm;7451 but3588 518 do6213 unto5973 him even3651 as834 he shall say1696 unto413 thee.
13 So Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 sent,7971 and Nebushasban,5021 Rabsaris,7249 and Nergal-sharezer,5371 Rab-mag,7248 and all3605 the king4428 of Babylon's894 princes;7227
14 Even they sent,7971 and took3947 853 Jeremiah3414 out of the court4480 2691 of the prison,4307 and committed5414 him unto413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 that he should carry3318 him home:1004 so he dwelt3427 among8432 the people.5971
15 Now the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 while he was1961 shut up6113 in the court2691 of the prison,4307 saying,559
16 Go1980 and speak559 to Ebed-melech5663 the Ethiopian,3569 saying,559 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will bring935 853 my words1697 upon413 this2063 city5892 for evil,7451 and not3808 for good;2896 and they shall be1961 accomplished in that1931 day3117 before6440 thee.
17 But I will deliver5337 thee in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD:3068 and thou shalt not3808 be given5414 into the hand3027 of the men376 of whom834 thou859 art afraid.3016 4480 6440
18 For3588 I will surely deliver4422 4422 thee, and thou shalt not3808 fall5307 by the sword,2719 but thy life5315 shall be1961 for a prey7998 unto thee: because3588 thou hast put thy trust982 in me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 after that310 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had let him go7971 from4480 Ramah,7414 when he had taken3947 him being bound631 in chains246 among8432 all3605 that were carried away captive1546 of Jerusalem3389 and Judah,3063 which were carried away captive1540 unto Babylon.894
2 And the captain7227 of the guard2876 took3947 Jeremiah,3414 and said559 unto413 him, The LORD3068 thy God430 hath pronounced1696 853 this2063 evil7451 upon413 this2088 place.4725
3 Now the LORD3068 hath brought935 it, and done6213 according as834 he hath said:1696 because3588 ye have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 and have not3808 obeyed8085 his voice,6963 therefore this2088 thing1697 is come1961 upon you.
4 And now,6258 behold,2009 I loose6605 thee this day3117 from4480 the chains246 which834 were upon5921 thine hand.3027 If518 it seem good unto thee2896 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 come;935 and I will look well7760 853 5869 unto5921 thee: but if518 it seem ill unto thee7489 5869 to come935 with854 me into Babylon,894 forbear:2308 behold,7200 all3605 the land776 is before6440 thee: whither413 it seemeth5869 good2896 and convenient3477 for thee to go,1980 thither8033 go.1980
5 Now while he was not3808 yet5750 gone back,7725 he said, Go back7725 also to413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 hath made governor6485 over the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and dwell3427 with854 him among8432 the people:5971 or176 go1980 wheresoever413 3605 it seemeth5869 convenient3477 unto thee to go.1980 So the captain7227 of the guard2876 gave5414 him victuals737 and a reward,4864 and let him go.7971
6 Then went935 Jeremiah3414 unto413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 to Mizpah;4708 and dwelt3427 with854 him among8432 the people5971 that were left7604 in the land.776
7 Now when all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 which834 were in the fields,7704 even they1992 and their men,376 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had made 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 governor6485 in the land,776 and3588 had committed6485 unto854 him men,376 and women,802 and children,2945 and of the poor4480 1803 of the land,776 of them that4480 834 were not3808 carried away captive1540 to Babylon;894
8 Then they came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708 even Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and Johanan3110 and Jonathan3129 the sons1121 of Kareah,7143 and Seraiah8304 the son1121 of Tanhumeth,8576 and the sons1121 of Ephai5778 the Netophathite,5200 and Jezaniah3153 the son1121 of a Maachathite,4602 they1992 and their men.376
9 And Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 swore7650 unto them and to their men,376 saying,559 Fear3372 not408 to serve4480 5647 the Chaldeans:3778 dwell3427 in the land,776 and serve5647 853 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and it shall be well3190 with you.
10 As for me,589 behold,2009 I will dwell3427 at Mizpah4709 to serve5975 6440 the Chaldeans,3778 which834 will come935 unto413 us: but ye,859 gather622 ye wine,3196 and summer fruits,7019 and oil,8081 and put7760 them in your vessels,3627 and dwell3427 in your cities5892 that834 ye have taken.8610
11 Likewise1571 when all3605 the Jews3064 that834 were in Moab,4124 and among the Ammonites,1121 5983 and in Edom,123 and that834 were in all3605 the countries,776 heard8085 that3588 the king4428 of Babylon894 had left5414 a remnant7611 of Judah,3063 and that3588 he had set6485 over5921 them 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan;8227
12 Even all3605 the Jews3064 returned7725 out of all4480 3605 places4725 whither834 8033 they were driven,5080 and came935 to the land776 of Judah,3063 to413 Gedaliah,1436 unto Mizpah,4708 and gathered622 wine3196 and summer fruits7019 very3966 much.7335
13 Moreover Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were in the fields,7704 came935 to413 Gedaliah1436 to Mizpah,4708
14 And said559 unto413 him, Dost thou certainly know3045 3045 that3588 Baalis1185 the king4428 of the Ammonites1121 5983 hath sent7971 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 to slay5221 5315 thee? But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 believed539 them not.3808
15 Then Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah7143 spoke559 to413 Gedaliah1436 in Mizpah4709 secretly,5643 saying,559 Let me go,1980 I pray thee,4994 and I will slay5221 853 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and no3808 man376 shall know3045 it: wherefore4100 should he slay5221 5315 thee, that all3605 the Jews3063 which are gathered6908 unto413 thee should be scattered,6327 and the remnant7611 in Judah3063 perish?6
16 But Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 said559 unto413 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 Thou shalt not408 do6213 853 this2088 thing:1697 for3588 thou859 speakest1696 falsely8267 of413 Ishmael.3458
1 Now it came to pass1961 in the seventh7637 month,2320 that Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 the son1121 of Elishama,476 of the seed4480 2233 royal,4410 and the princes7227 of the king,4428 even ten6235 men376 with854 him, came935 unto413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 to Mizpah;4708 and there8033 they did eat398 bread3899 together3162 in Mizpah.4709
2 Then arose6965 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and the ten6235 men376 that834 were1961 with854 him, and smote5221 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan8227 with the sword,2719 and slew4191 him, whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 had made governor6485 over the land.776
3 Ishmael3458 also slew5221 all3605 the Jews3064 that834 were1961 with854 him, even with854 Gedaliah,1436 at Mizpah,4709 and the Chaldeans3778 that834 were found4672 there,8033 and the men376 of war.4421
4 And it came to pass1961 the second8145 day3117 after he had slain4191 853 Gedaliah,1436 and no3808 man376 knew3045 it,
5 That there came935 certain376 from Shechem,4480 7927 from Shiloh,4480 7887 and from Samaria,4480 8111 even fourscore8084 men,376 having their beards2206 shaven,1548 and their clothes899 rent,7167 and having cut themselves,1413 with offerings4503 and incense3828 in their hand,3027 to bring935 them to the house1004 of the LORD.3068
6 And Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 went forth3318 from4480 Mizpah4709 to meet7125 them, weeping1058 all along as he went:1980 1980 and it came to pass,1961 as he met6298 them, he said559 unto413 them, Come935 to413 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam.296
7 And it was1961 so, when they came935 into413 the midst8432 of the city,5892 that Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 slew7819 them, and cast them into413 the midst8432 of the pit,953 he,1931 and the men376 that834 were with854 him.
8 But ten6235 men376 were found4672 among them that said559 unto413 Ishmael,3458 Slay4191 us not:408 for3588 we have3426 treasures4301 in the field,7704 of wheat,2406 and of barley,8184 and of oil,8081 and of honey.1706 So he forbear,2308 and slew4191 them not3808 among8432 their brethren.251
9 Now the pit953 wherein834 8033 Ishmael3458 had cast7993 853 all3605 the dead bodies6297 of the men,376 whom834 he had slain5221 because3027 of Gedaliah,1436 was it1931 which834 Asa609 the king4428 had made6213 for fear4480 6440 of Baasha1201 king4428 of Israel:3478 and Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 filled4390 it with them that were slain.2491
10 Then Ishmael3458 carried away captive7617 853 all3605 the residue7611 of the people5971 that834 were in Mizpah,4709 even 853 the king's4428 daughters,1323 and all3605 the people5971 that remained7604 in Mizpah,4709 whom834 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had committed6485 to 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam:296 and Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 carried them away captive,7617 and departed1980 to go over5674 to413 the Ammonites.1121 5983
11 But when Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were with854 him, heard8085 of 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 had done,6213
12 Then they took3947 853 all3605 the men,376 and went1980 to fight3898 with5973 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 and found4672 him by413 the great7227 waters4325 that834 are in Gibeon.1391
13 Now it came to pass,1961 that when all3605 the people5971 which834 were with854 Ishmael3458 saw7200 853 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were with854 him, then they were glad.8055
14 So all3605 the people5971 that834 Ishmael3458 had carried away captive7617 from4480 Mizpah4709 cast about5437 and returned,7725 and went1980 unto413 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah.7143
15 But Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 escaped4422 from4480 6440 Johanan3110 with eight8083 men,376 and went1980 to413 the Ammonites.1121 5983
16 Then took3947 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 that834 were with854 him, 853 all3605 the remnant7611 of the people5971 whom834 he had recovered7725 from4480 854 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah,5418 from4480 Mizpah,4709 after310 that he had slain5221 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam,296 even mighty1397 men376 of war,4421 and the women,802 and the children,2945 and the eunuchs,5631 whom834 he had brought again7725 from Gibeon:4480 1391
17 And they departed,1980 and dwelt3427 in the habitation1628 of Chimham,3643 which834 is by681 Bethlehem,1035 to go1980 to enter into935 Egypt,4714
18 Because4480 6440 of the Chaldeans:3778 for3588 they were afraid3372 of4480 6440 them, because3588 Ishmael3458 the son1121 of Nethaniah5418 had slain5221 853 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam,296 whom834 the king4428 of Babylon894 made governor6485 in the land.776
1 Then all3605 the captains8269 of the forces,2428 and Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and Jezaniah3153 the son1121 of Hoshaiah,1955 and all3605 the people5971 from the least4480 6996 even unto5704 the greatest,1419 came near,5066
2 And said559 unto413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 Let, we beseech thee,4994 our supplication8467 be accepted5307 before6440 thee, and pray6419 for1157 us unto413 the LORD3068 thy God,430 even for1157 all3605 this2063 remnant;7611 (for3588 we are left7604 but a few4592 of many,4480 7235 as834 thine eyes5869 do behold7200 us:)
3 That the LORD3068 thy God430 may show5046 us 853 the way1870 wherein834 we may walk,1980 and the thing1697 that834 we may do.6213
4 Then Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 said559 unto413 them, I have heard8085 you; behold,2009 I will pray6419 unto413 the LORD3068 your God430 according to your words;1697 and it shall come to pass,1961 that whatsoever3605 834 thing1697 the LORD3068 shall answer6030 you, I will declare5046 it unto you; I will keep nothing back4513 3808 1697 from4480 you.
5 Then they1992 said559 to413 Jeremiah,3414 The LORD3068 be1961 a true571 and faithful539 witness5707 between us, if518 we do6213 not3808 even3651 according to all3605 things1697 for the which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 shall send7971 thee to413 us.
6 Whether518 it be good,2896 or whether518 it be evil,7451 we will obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 our God,430 to whom834 we580 send7971 thee; that4616 834 it may be well3190 with us, when3588 we obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 our God.430
7 And it came to pass1961 after4480 7093 ten6235 days,3117 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Jeremiah.3414
8 Then called7121 413 he Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces2428 which834 were with854 him, and all3605 the people5971 from the least4480 6996 even to5704 the greatest,1419
9 And said559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 unto413 whom834 ye sent7971 me to present5307 your supplication8467 before6440 him;
10 If518 ye will still abide7725 3427 in this2063 land,776 then will I build1129 you, and not3808 pull you down,2040 and I will plant5193 you, and not3808 pluck you up:5428 for3588 I repent5162 me of413 the evil7451 that834 I have done6213 unto you.
11 Be not408 afraid3372 of4480 6440 the king4428 of Babylon,894 of whom834 ye859 are afraid;3372 4480 6440 be not408 afraid3372 of4480 him, saith5002 the LORD:3068 for3588 I589 am with854 you to save3467 you, and to deliver5337 you from his hand.4480 3027
12 And I will show5414 mercies7356 unto you, that he may have mercy upon7355 you, and cause you to return7725 853 to413 your own land.127
13 But if518 ye859 say,559 We will not3808 dwell3427 in this2063 land,776 neither1115 obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430
14 Saying,559 No;3808 but3588 we will go935 into the land776 of Egypt,4714 where834 we shall see7200 no3808 war,4421 nor3808 hear8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 nor3808 have hunger7456 of bread;3899 and there8033 will we dwell:3427
15 And now6258 therefore3651 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 ye remnant7611 of Judah;3063 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 If518 ye859 wholly set7760 7760 your faces6440 to enter into935 Egypt,4714 and go935 to sojourn1481 there;8033
16 Then it shall come to pass,1961 that the sword,2719 which834 ye859 feared,3373 4480 shall overtake5381 you there8033 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and the famine,7458 whereof834 ye859 were afraid,1672 4480 shall follow close1692 after310 you there8033 in Egypt;4714 and there8033 ye shall die.4191
17 So shall it be1961 with all3605 the men376 that834 set7760 853 their faces6440 to go into935 Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there;8033 they shall die4191 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence:1698 and none3808 of them shall1961 remain8300 or escape6412 from4480 6440 the evil7451 that834 I589 will bring935 upon5921 them.
18 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 As834 mine anger639 and my fury2534 hath been poured forth5413 upon5921 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 so3651 shall my fury2534 be poured forth5413 upon5921 you, when ye shall1961 enter into935 Egypt:4714 and ye shall be an execration,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a curse,7045 and a reproach;2781 and ye shall see7200 853 this2088 place4725 no3808 more.5750
19 The LORD3068 hath said1696 concerning5921 you, O ye remnant7611 of Judah;3063 Go935 ye not408 into Egypt:4714 know certainly3045 3045 that3588 I have admonished5749 you this day.3117
20 For3588 ye dissembled8582 in your hearts,5315 when3588 ye859 sent7971 me unto413 the LORD3068 your God,430 saying,559 Pray6419 for1157 us unto413 the LORD3068 our God;430 and according unto all3605 that834 the LORD3068 our God430 shall say,559 so3651 declare5046 unto us, and we will do6213 it.
21 And now I have this day3117 declared5046 it to you; but ye have not3808 obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 your God,430 nor any3605 thing for the which834 he hath sent7971 me unto413 you.
22 Now6258 therefore know certainly3045 3045 that3588 ye shall die4191 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 in the place4725 whither834 8033 ye desire2654 to go935 and to sojourn.1481
1 And it came to pass,1961 that when Jeremiah3414 had made an end3615 of speaking1696 unto413 all3605 the people5971 853 all3605 the words1697 of the LORD3068 their God,430 for which834 the LORD3068 their God430 had sent7971 him to413 them, even 853 all3605 these428 words,1697
2 Then spoke559 Azariah5838 the son1121 of Hoshaiah,1955 and Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the proud2086 men,376 saying559 unto413 Jeremiah,3414 Thou859 speakest1696 falsely:8267 the LORD3068 our God430 hath not3808 sent7971 thee to say,559 Go935 not3808 into Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there:8033
3 But3588 Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah5374 setteth thee on5496 853 against us, for4616 to deliver5414 us into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans,3778 that they might put us to death,4191 853 and carry us away captives1540 853 into Babylon.894
4 So Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces,2428 and all3605 the people,5971 obeyed8085 not3808 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 to dwell3427 in the land776 of Judah.3063
5 But Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all3605 the captains8269 of the forces,2428 took3947 853 all3605 the remnant7611 of Judah,3063 that834 were returned7725 from all4480 3605 nations,1471 whither834 8033 they had been driven,5080 to dwell1481 in the land776 of Judah;3063
6 Even 853 men,1397 and women,802 and children,2945 and the king's4428 daughters,1323 and every3605 person5315 that834 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 had left5117 with854 Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 and Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 and Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah.5374
7 So they came into935 the land776 of Egypt:4714 for3588 they obeyed8085 not3808 the voice6963 of the LORD:3068 thus came935 they even to5704 Tahpanhes.8471
8 Then came1961 the word1697 of the LORD3068 unto413 Jeremiah3414 in Tahpanhes,8471 saying,559
9 Take3947 great1419 stones68 in thine hand,3027 and hide2934 them in the clay4423 in the brickkiln,4404 which834 is at the entry6607 of Pharaoh's6547 house1004 in Tahpanhes,8471 in the sight5869 of the men376 of Judah;3064
10 And say559 unto413 them, Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will send7971 and take3947 853 Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant,5650 and will set7760 his throne3678 upon4480 4605 these428 stones68 that834 I have hid;2934 and he shall spread5186 853 his royal pavilion8237 over5921 them.
11 And when he cometh,935 he shall smite5221 853 the land776 of Egypt,4714 and deliver such834 as are for death4194 to death;4194 and such834 as are for captivity7628 to captivity;7628 and such834 as are for the sword2719 to the sword.2719
12 And I will kindle3341 a fire784 in the houses1004 of the gods430 of Egypt;4714 and he shall burn8313 them, and carry them away captives:7617 and he shall array himself5844 with854 the land776 of Egypt,4714 as834 a shepherd7462 putteth on5844 853 his garment;899 and he shall go forth3318 from thence4480 8033 in peace.7965
13 He shall break7665 also 853 the images4676 of Beth-shemesh,1053 that834 is in the land776 of Egypt;4714 and the houses1004 of the gods430 of the Egyptians4714 shall he burn8313 with fire.784
1 The word1697 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 concerning413 all3605 the Jews3064 which dwell3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 which dwell3427 at Migdol,4024 and at Tahpanhes,8471 and at Noph,5297 and in the country776 of Pathros,6624 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Ye859 have seen7200 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 I have brought935 upon5921 Jerusalem,3389 and upon5921 all3605 the cities5892 of Judah;3063 and, behold,2009 this2088 day3117 they are a desolation,2723 and no369 man dwelleth3427 therein,
3 Because4480 6440 of their wickedness7451 which834 they have committed6213 to provoke me to anger,3707 in that they went1980 to burn incense,6999 and to serve5647 other312 gods,430 whom834 they knew3045 not,3808 neither they,1992 ye,859 nor your fathers.1
4 Howbeit I sent7971 unto413 you 853 all3605 my servants5650 the prophets,5030 rising early7925 and sending7971 them, saying,559 Oh,4994 do6213 not408 853 this2063 abominable8441 thing1697 that834 I hate.8130
5 But they hearkened8085 not,3808 nor3808 inclined5186 853 their ear241 to turn7725 from their wickedness,4480 7451 to burn6999 no1115 incense unto other312 gods.430
6 Wherefore my fury2534 and mine anger639 was poured forth,5413 and was kindled1197 in the cities5892 of Judah3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem;3389 and they are1961 wasted2723 and desolate,8077 as at this2088 day.3117
7 Therefore now6258 thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Wherefore4100 commit6213 ye859 this great1419 evil7451 against413 your souls,5315 to cut off3772 from you man376 and woman,802 child5768 and suckling,3243 out of4480 8432 Judah,3063 to leave3498 you none1115 to remain;7611
8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath3707 with the works4639 of your hands,3027 burning incense6999 unto other312 gods430 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 whither834 8033 ye859 be gone935 to dwell,1481 that4616 ye might cut yourselves off,3772 and that4616 ye might be1961 a curse7045 and a reproach2781 among all3605 the nations1471 of the earth?776
9 Have ye forgotten7911 853 the wickedness7451 of your fathers,1 and the wickedness7451 of the kings4428 of Judah,3063 and the wickedness7451 of their wives,802 and your own wickedness,7451 and the wickedness7451 of your wives,802 which834 they have committed6213 in the land776 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem?3389
10 They are not3808 humbled1792 even unto5704 this2088 day,3117 neither3808 have they feared,3372 nor3808 walked1980 in my law,8451 nor in my statutes,2708 that834 I set5414 before6440 you and before6440 your fathers.1
11 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will set7760 my face6440 against you for evil,7451 and to cut off3772 853 all3605 Judah.3063
12 And I will take3947 853 the remnant7611 of Judah,3063 that834 have set7760 their faces6440 to go into935 the land776 of Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there,8033 and they shall all3605 be consumed,8552 and fall5307 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 they shall even be consumed8552 by the sword2719 and by the famine:7458 they shall die,4191 from the least4480 6996 even unto5704 the greatest,1419 by the sword2719 and by the famine:7458 and they shall be1961 an execration,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a curse,7045 and a reproach.2781
13 For I will punish6485 5921 them that dwell3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 as834 I have punished6485 5921 Jerusalem,3389 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence:1698
14 So that none3808 of the remnant7611 of Judah,3063 which are gone935 into the land776 of Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there,8033 shall1961 escape6412 or remain,8300 that they should return7725 into the land776 of Judah,3063 to the which834 they1992 have a desire5375 853 5315 to return7725 to dwell3427 there:8033 for3588 none3808 shall return7725 but3588 518 such as shall escape.6412
15 Then all3605 the men376 which knew3045 that3588 their wives802 had burned incense6999 unto other312 gods,430 and all3605 the women802 that stood by,5975 a great1419 multitude,6951 even all3605 the people5971 that dwelt3427 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 in Pathros,6624 answered6030 853 Jeremiah,3414 saying,559
16 As for the word1697 that834 thou hast spoken1696 unto413 us in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 we will not369 hearken8085 unto413 thee.
17 But3588 we will certainly do6213 6213 853 whatsoever3605 834 thing1697 goeth forth3318 out of our own mouth,4480 6310 to burn incense6999 unto the queen4446 of heaven,8064 and to pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto her, as834 we have done,6213 we,587 and our fathers,1 our kings,4428 and our princes,8269 in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem:3389 for then had we plenty7646 of victuals,3899 and were1961 well,2896 and saw7200 no3808 evil.7451
18 But since4480 227 we left off2308 to burn incense6999 to the queen4446 of heaven,8064 and to pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto her, we have wanted2637 all3605 things, and have been consumed8552 by the sword2719 and by the famine.7458
19 And when3588 we587 burned incense6999 to the queen4446 of heaven,8064 and poured out5258 drink offerings5262 unto her, did we make6213 her cakes3561 to worship6087 her, and pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto her, without4480 1107 our men?376
20 Then Jeremiah3414 said559 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 to5921 the men,1397 and to5921 the women,802 and to5921 all3605 the people5971 which had given him that answer,6030 853 1697 saying,559
21 853 The incense7002 that834 ye burned6999 in the cities5892 of Judah,3063 and in the streets2351 of Jerusalem,3389 ye,859 and your fathers,1 your kings,4428 and your princes,8269 and the people5971 of the land,776 did not3808 the LORD3068 remember2142 them, and came5927 it not into5921 his mind?3820
22 So that the LORD3068 could3201 no3808 longer5750 bear,5375 because4480 6440 of the evil7455 of your doings,4611 and because4480 6440 of the abominations8441 which834 ye have committed;6213 therefore is1961 your land776 a desolation,2723 and an astonishment,8047 and a curse,7045 without4480 369 an inhabitant,3427 as at this2088 day.3117
23 Because4480 6440 834 ye have burned incense,6999 and because834 ye have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 and have not3808 obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD,3068 nor3808 walked1980 in his law,8451 nor in his statutes,2708 nor in his testimonies;5715 therefore5921 3651 this2063 evil7451 is happened unto7122 you, as at this2088 day.3117
24 Moreover Jeremiah3414 said559 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 and to413 all3605 the women,802 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 Judah3063 that834 are in the land776 of Egypt:4714
25 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saying;559 Ye859 and your wives802 have both spoken1696 with your mouths,6310 and fulfilled4390 with your hand,3027 saying,559 We will surely perform6213 6213 853 our vows5088 that834 we have vowed,5087 to burn incense6999 to the queen4446 of heaven,8064 and to pour out5258 drink offerings5262 unto her: ye will surely accomplish6965 6965 853 your vows,5088 and surely perform6213 6213 853 your vows.5088
26 Therefore3651 hear8085 ye the word1697 of the LORD,3068 all3605 Judah3063 that dwell3427 in the land776 of Egypt;4714 Behold,2009 I have sworn7650 by my great1419 name,8034 saith559 the LORD,3068 that my name8034 shall no518 more5750 be1961 named7121 in the mouth6310 of any3605 man376 of Judah3063 in all3605 the land776 of Egypt,4714 saying,559 The Lord136 GOD3069 liveth.2416
27 Behold,2009 I will watch8245 over5921 them for evil,7451 and not3808 for good:2896 and all3605 the men376 of Judah3063 that834 are in the land776 of Egypt4714 shall be consumed8552 by the sword2719 and by the famine,7458 until5704 there be an end3615 of them.
28 Yet a small4962 number4557 that escape6412 the sword2719 shall return7725 out of4480 the land776 of Egypt4714 into the land776 of Judah,3063 and all3605 the remnant7611 of Judah,3063 that are gone935 into the land776 of Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there,8033 shall know3045 whose4310 words1697 shall stand,6965 mine,4480 or theirs.4480
29 And this2063 shall be a sign226 unto you, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 I589 will punish6485 5921 you in this2088 place,4725 that4616 ye may know3045 that3588 my words1697 shall surely stand6965 6965 against5921 you for evil:7451
30 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will give5414 853 Pharaoh Hophra6548 king4428 of Egypt4714 into the hand3027 of his enemies,341 and into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 his life;5315 as834 I gave5414 853 Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 his enemy,341 and that sought1245 his life.5315
1 The word1697 that834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 spoke1696 unto413 Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah,5374 when he had written3789 853 these428 words1697 in5921 a book5612 at the mouth4480 6310 of Jeremiah,3414 in the fourth7243 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 the God430 of Israel,3478 unto5921 thee, O Baruch;1263
3 Thou didst say,559 Woe188 is me now!4994 for3588 the LORD3068 hath added3254 grief3015 to5921 my sorrow;4341 I fainted3021 in my sighing,585 and I find4672 no3808 rest.4496
4 Thus3541 shalt thou say559 unto413 him, The LORD3068 saith559 thus;3541 Behold,2009 that which834 I have built1129 will I589 break down,2040 and that which834 I have planted5193 I589 will pluck up,5428 even this1931 whole3605 land.776
5 And seekest1245 thou859 great things1419 for thyself? seek1245 them not:408 for,3588 behold,2009 I will bring935 evil7451 upon5921 all3605 flesh,1320 saith5002 the LORD:3068 but 853 thy life5315 will I give5414 unto thee for a prey7998 in5921 all3605 places4725 whither834 8033 thou goest.1980
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 against5921 the Gentiles;1471
2 Against Egypt,4714 against5921 the army2428 of Pharaoh Necho6549 king4428 of Egypt,4714 which834 was1961 by5921 the river5104 Euphrates6578 in Carchemish,3751 which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 smote5221 in the fourth7243 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah.3063
3 Order6186 ye the buckler4043 and shield,6793 and draw near5066 to battle.4421
4 Harness631 the horses;5483 and get up,5927 ye horsemen,6571 and stand forth3320 with your helmets;3553 furbish4838 the spears,7420 and put on3847 the brigandines.5630
5 Wherefore4069 have I seen7200 them1992 dismayed2844 and turned away5472 back?268 and their mighty ones1368 are beaten down,3807 and are fled apace,4498 5127 and look not back:6437 3808 for fear4032 was round about,4480 5439 saith5002 the LORD.3068
6 Let not408 the swift7031 flee away,5127 nor408 the mighty man1368 escape;4422 they shall stumble,3782 and fall5307 toward the north6828 by5921 3027 the river5104 Euphrates.6578
7 Who4310 is this2088 that cometh up5927 as a flood,2975 whose waters4325 are moved1607 as the rivers?5104
8 Egypt4714 riseth up5927 like a flood,2975 and his waters4325 are moved1607 like the rivers;5104 and he saith,559 I will go up,5927 and will cover3680 the earth;776 I will destroy6 the city5892 and the inhabitants3427 thereof.
9 Come up,5927 ye horses;5483 and rage,1984 ye chariots;7393 and let the mighty men1368 come forth;3318 the Ethiopians3568 and the Libyans,6316 that handle8610 the shield;4043 and the Lydians,3866 that handle8610 and bend1869 the bow.7198
10 For this1931 is the day3117 of the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 a day3117 of vengeance,5360 that he may avenge5358 him of his adversaries:4480 6862 and the sword2719 shall devour,398 and it shall be satiate7646 and made drunk7301 with their blood:4480 1818 for3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 hath a sacrifice2077 in the north6828 country776 by413 the river5104 Euphrates.6578
11 Go up5927 into Gilead,1568 and take3947 balm,6875 O virgin,1330 the daughter1323 of Egypt:4714 in vain7723 shalt thou use many7235 medicines;7499 for thou shalt not369 be cured.8585
12 The nations1471 have heard8085 of thy shame,7036 and thy cry6682 hath filled4390 the land:776 for3588 the mighty man1368 hath stumbled3782 against the mighty,1368 and they are fallen5307 both8147 together.3162
13 The word1697 that834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 to413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 how Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 should come935 and smite5221 853 the land776 of Egypt.4714
14 Declare5046 ye in Egypt,4714 and publish8085 in Migdol,4024 and publish8085 in Noph5297 and in Tahpanhes:8471 say559 ye, Stand fast,3320 and prepare3559 thee; for3588 the sword2719 shall devour398 round about5439 thee.
15 Why4069 are thy valiant47 men swept away?5502 they stood5975 not,3808 because3588 the LORD3068 did drive1920 them.
16 He made many7235 to fall,3782 yea,1571 one376 fell5307 upon413 another:7453 and they said,559 Arise,6965 and let us go again7725 to413 our own people,5971 and to413 the land776 of our nativity,4138 from4480 6440 the oppressing3238 sword.2719
17 They did cry7121 there,8033 Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt4714 is but a noise;7588 he hath passed5674 the time appointed.4150
18 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the King,4428 whose name8034 is the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Surely3588 as Tabor8396 is among the mountains,2022 and as Carmel3760 by the sea,3220 so shall he come.935
19 O thou daughter1323 dwelling3427 in Egypt,4714 furnish3627 6213 thyself to go into captivity:1473 for3588 Noph5297 shall be1961 waste8047 and desolate3341 without4480 369 an inhabitant.3427
20 Egypt4714 is like a very fair3304 heifer,5697 but destruction7171 cometh;935 it cometh935 out of the north.4480 6828
21 Also1571 her hired men7916 are in the midst7130 of her like fatted4770 bullocks;5695 for3588 they1992 also1571 are turned back,6437 and are fled away5127 together:3162 they did not3808 stand,5975 because3588 the day3117 of their calamity343 was come935 upon5921 them, and the time6256 of their visitation.6486
22 The voice6963 thereof shall go1980 like a serpent;5175 for3588 they shall march1980 with an army,2428 and come935 against her with axes,7134 as hewers2404 of wood.6086
23 They shall cut down3772 her forest,3293 saith5002 the LORD,3068 though3588 it cannot3808 be searched;2713 because3588 they are more7231 than the grasshoppers,4480 697 and are innumerable.369 4557
24 The daughter1323 of Egypt4714 shall be confounded;3001 she shall be delivered5414 into the hand3027 of the people5971 of the north.6828
25 The LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 saith;559 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 413 the multitude528 of No,4480 4996 and Pharaoh,6547 and Egypt,4714 with5921 their gods,430 and their kings;4428 even Pharaoh,6547 and all them that trust982 in him:
26 And I will deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of those that seek1245 their lives,5315 and into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and into the hand3027 of his servants:5650 and afterward310 3651 it shall be inhabited,7931 as in the days3117 of old,6924 saith5002 the LORD.3068
27 But fear3372 not408 thou,859 O my servant5650 Jacob,3290 and be not408 dismayed,2865 O Israel:3478 for,3588 behold,2009 I will save3467 thee from afar off,4480 7350 and thy seed2233 from the land4480 776 of their captivity;7628 and Jacob3290 shall return,7725 and be in rest8252 and at ease,7599 and none369 shall make him afraid.2729
28 Fear3372 thou859 not,408 O Jacob3290 my servant,5650 saith5002 the LORD:3068 for3588 I589 am with854 thee; for3588 I will make6213 a full end3617 of all3605 the nations1471 whither834 8033 I have driven5080 thee: but I will not3808 make6213 a full end3617 of thee, but correct3256 thee in measure;4941 yet will I not3808 leave thee wholly5352 unpunished.5352
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 against413 the Philistines,6430 before2962 that Pharaoh6547 smote5221 853 Gaza.5804
2 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 waters4325 rise up5927 out of the north,4480 6828 and shall be1961 an overflowing7857 flood,5158 and shall overflow7857 the land,776 and all4393 that is therein; the city,5892 and them that dwell3427 therein: then the men120 shall cry,2199 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall howl.3213
3 At the noise4480 6963 of the stamping8161 of the hooves6541 of his strong47 horses, at the rushing4480 7494 of his chariots,7393 and at the rumbling1995 of his wheels,1534 the fathers1 shall not3808 look back6437 to413 their children1121 for feebleness4480 7510 of hands;3027
4 Because of5921 the day3117 that cometh935 to spoil7703 853 all3605 the Philistines,6430 and to cut off3772 from Tyrus6865 and Zidon6721 every3605 helper5826 that remaineth:8300 for3588 the LORD3068 will spoil7703 853 the Philistines,6430 the remnant7611 of the country339 of Caphtor.3731
5 Baldness7144 is come935 upon413 Gaza;5804 Ashkelon831 is cut off1820 with the remnant7611 of their valley:6010 how long5704 4970 wilt thou cut thyself?1413
6 O1945 thou sword2719 of the LORD,3068 how long5704 575 will it be ere3808 thou be quiet?8252 put up thyself622 into413 thy scabbard,8593 rest,7280 and be still.1826
7 How349 can it be quiet,8252 seeing the LORD3068 hath given it a charge6680 against413 Ashkelon,831 and against413 the sea3220 shore?2348 there8033 hath he appointed3259 it.
1 Against Moab4124 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Woe1945 unto413 Nebo!5015 for3588 it is spoiled:7703 Kiriathaim7156 is confounded3001 and taken:3920 Misgab4869 is confounded3001 and dismayed.2865
2 There shall be no369 more5750 praise8416 of Moab:4124 in Heshbon2809 they have devised2803 evil7451 against5921 it; come,1980 and let us cut it off3772 from being a nation.4480 1471 Also1571 thou shalt be cut down,1826 O Madmen;4086 the sword2719 shall pursue1980 310 thee.
3 A voice6963 of crying6818 shall be from Horonaim,4480 2773 spoiling7701 and great1419 destruction.7667
4 Moab4124 is destroyed;7665 her little ones6810 have caused a cry2201 to be heard.8085
5 For3588 in the going up4608 of Luhith3872 continual weeping1065 1065 shall go up;5927 for3588 in the going down4174 of Horonaim2773 the enemies6862 have heard8085 a cry6818 of destruction.7667
6 Flee,5127 save4422 your lives,5315 and be1961 like the heath6176 in the wilderness.4057
7 For3588 because3282 thou hast trusted982 in thy works4639 and in thy treasures,214 thou859 shalt also1571 be taken:3920 and Chemosh3645 shall go forth3318 into captivity1473 with his priests3548 and his princes8269 together.3162
8 And the spoiler7703 shall come935 upon413 every3605 city,5892 and no3808 city5892 shall escape:4422 the valley6010 also shall perish,6 and the plain4334 shall be destroyed,8045 as834 the LORD3068 hath spoken.559
9 Give5414 wings6731 unto Moab,4124 that3588 it may flee5323 and get away:3318 for the cities5892 thereof shall be1961 desolate,8047 without any4480 369 to dwell3427 therein.2004
10 Cursed779 be he that doeth6213 the work4399 of the LORD3068 deceitfully,7423 and cursed779 be he that keepeth back4513 his sword2719 from blood.4480 1818
11 Moab4124 hath been at ease7599 from his youth,4480 5271 and he1931 hath settled8252 on413 his lees,8105 and hath not3808 been emptied7324 from vessel4480 3627 to413 vessel,3627 neither3808 hath he gone1980 into captivity:1473 therefore5921 3651 his taste2940 remained5975 in him, and his scent7381 is not3808 changed.4171
12 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will send7971 unto him wanderers,6808 that shall cause him to wander,6808 and shall empty7324 his vessels,3627 and break5310 their bottles.5035
13 And Moab4124 shall be ashamed954 of Chemosh,4480 3645 as834 the house1004 of Israel3478 was ashamed954 of Bethel4480 1008 their confidence.4009
14 How349 say559 ye, We587 are mighty1368 and strong2428 men376 for the war?4421
15 Moab4124 is spoiled,7703 and gone up5927 out of her cities,5892 and his chosen4005 young men970 are gone down3381 to the slaughter,2874 saith5002 the King,4428 whose name8034 is the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
16 The calamity343 of Moab4124 is near7138 to come,935 and his affliction7451 hasteth4116 fast.3966
17 All3605 ye that are about5439 him, bemoan5110 him; and all3605 ye that know3045 his name,8034 say,559 How349 is the strong5797 staff4294 broken,7665 and the beautiful8597 rod!4731
18 Thou daughter1323 that dost inhabit3427 Dibon,1769 come down3381 from thy glory,4480 3519 and sit3427 in thirst;6772 for3588 the spoiler7703 of Moab4124 shall come5927 upon thee, and he shall destroy7843 thy strongholds.4013
19 O inhabitant3427 of Aroer,6177 stand5975 by413 the way,1870 and espy;6822 ask7592 him that fleeth,5127 and her that escapeth,4422 and say,559 What4100 is1961 done?
20 Moab4124 is confounded;3001 for3588 it is broken down:2865 howl3213 and cry;2199 tell5046 ye it in Arnon,769 that3588 Moab4124 is spoiled,7703
21 And judgment4941 is come935 upon413 the plain4334 country;776 upon413 Holon,2473 and upon413 Jahazah,3096 and upon5921 Mephaath,4158
22 And upon5921 Dibon,1769 and upon5921 Nebo,5015 and upon5921 Beth-diblathaim,1015
23 And upon5921 Kiriathaim,7156 and upon5921 Beth-gamul,1014 and upon5921 Bethmeon,1010
24 And upon5921 Kerioth,7152 and upon5921 Bozrah,1224 and upon5921 all3605 the cities5892 of the land776 of Moab,4124 far7350 or near.7138
25 The horn7161 of Moab4124 is cut off,1438 and his arm2220 is broken,7665 saith5002 the LORD.3068
26 Make ye him drunken:7937 for3588 he magnified1431 himself against5921 the LORD:3068 Moab4124 also shall wallow5606 in his vomit,6892 and he1931 also1571 shall be1961 in derision.7814
27 For518 was1961 not3808 Israel3478 a derision7814 unto thee? was he found4672 among thieves?1590 for3588 since4480 1767 thou spakest1697 of him, thou skippedst for joy.5110
28 O ye that dwell3427 in Moab,4124 leave5800 the cities,5892 and dwell7931 in the rock,5553 and be1961 like the dove3123 that maketh her nest7077 in the sides5676 of the hole's6354 mouth.6310
29 We have heard8085 the pride1347 of Moab,4124 (he is exceeding3966 proud)1343 his loftiness,1363 and his arrogance,1347 and his pride,1346 and the haughtiness7312 of his heart.3820
30 I589 know3045 his wrath,5678 saith5002 the LORD;3068 but it shall not3808 be so;3651 his lies907 shall not3808 so3651 effect6213 it.
31 Therefore5921 3651 will I howl3213 for5921 Moab,4124 and I will cry out2199 for all3605 Moab;4124 mine heart shall mourn1897 for413 the men376 of Kir-heres.7025
32 O vine1612 of Sibmah,7643 I will weep1058 for thee with the weeping4480 1065 of Jazer:3270 thy plants5189 are gone over5674 the sea,3220 they reach5060 even to5704 the sea3220 of Jazer:3270 the spoiler7703 is fallen5307 upon5921 thy summer fruits7019 and upon5921 thy vintage.1210
33 And joy8057 and gladness1524 is taken622 from the plentiful field,4480 3759 and from the land4480 776 of Moab;4124 and I have caused wine3196 to fail7673 from the winepresses:4480 3342 none3808 shall tread1869 with shouting;1959 their shouting1959 shall be no3808 shouting.1959
34 From the cry4480 2201 of Heshbon2809 even unto5704 Elealeh,500 and even unto5704 Jahaz,3096 have they uttered5414 their voice,6963 from Zoar4480 6820 even unto5704 Horonaim,2773 as a heifer5697 of three years old:7992 for3588 the waters4325 also1571 of Nimrim5249 shall be1961 desolate.4923
35 Moreover I will cause to cease7673 in Moab,4124 saith5002 the LORD,3068 him that offereth5927 in the high places,1116 and him that burneth incense6999 to his gods.430
36 Therefore5921 3651 mine heart3820 shall sound1993 for Moab4124 like pipes,2485 and mine heart3820 shall sound1993 like pipes2485 for413 the men376 of Kir-heres:7025 because5921 3651 the riches3502 that he hath gotten6213 are perished.6
37 For3588 every3605 head7218 shall be bald,7144 and every3605 beard2206 clipped:1639 upon5921 all3605 the hands3027 shall be cuttings,1418 and upon5921 the loins4975 sackcloth.8242
38 There shall be lamentation4553 generally3605 upon5921 all3605 the housetops1406 of Moab,4124 and in the streets7339 thereof: for3588 I have broken7665 853 Moab4124 like a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure,2656 saith5002 the LORD.3068
39 They shall howl,3213 saying, How349 is it broken down!2865 how349 hath Moab4124 turned6437 the back6203 with shame!954 so shall Moab4124 be1961 a derision7814 and a dismaying4288 to all3605 them about5439 him.
40 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 he shall fly1675 as an eagle,5404 and shall spread6566 his wings3671 over413 Moab.4124
41 Kerioth7152 is taken,3920 and the strongholds4679 are surprised,8610 and the mighty men's1368 hearts3820 in Moab4124 at that1931 day3117 shall be1961 as the heart3820 of a woman802 in her pangs.6887
42 And Moab4124 shall be destroyed8045 from being a people,4480 5971 because3588 he hath magnified1431 himself against5921 the LORD.3068
43 Fear,6343 and the pit,6354 and the snare,6341 shall be upon5921 thee, O inhabitant3427 of Moab,4124 saith5002 the LORD.3068
44 He that fleeth5211 from4480 6440 the fear6343 shall fall5307 into413 the pit;6354 and he that getteth up5927 out of4480 the pit6354 shall be taken3920 in the snare:6341 for3588 I will bring935 upon413 it, even upon413 Moab,4124 the year8141 of their visitation,6486 saith5002 the LORD.3068
45 They that fled5127 stood5975 under the shadow6738 of Heshbon2809 because of the force:4480 3581 but3588 a fire784 shall come forth3318 out of Heshbon,4480 2809 and a flame3852 from the midst4480 996 of Sihon,5511 and shall devour398 the corner6285 of Moab,4124 and the crown of the head6936 of the tumultuous7588 ones.1121
46 Woe188 be unto thee, O Moab!4124 the people5971 of Chemosh3645 perisheth:6 for3588 thy sons1121 are taken3947 captives,7628 and thy daughters1323 captives.7633
47 Yet will I bring again7725 the captivity7622 of Moab4124 in the latter319 days,3117 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Thus2008 far5704 is the judgment4941 of Moab.4124
1 Concerning the Ammonites,1121 5984 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Hath Israel3478 no369 sons?1121 hath he no369 heir?3423 why4069 then doth their king4428 inherit3423 853 Gad,1410 and his people5971 dwell3427 in his cities?5892
2 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith559 the LORD,3068 that I will cause an alarm8643 of war4421 to be heard8085 in413 Rabbah7237 of the Ammonites;1121 5983 and it shall be1961 a desolate8077 heap,8510 and her daughters1323 shall be burned3341 with fire:784 then shall Israel3478 be heir3423 unto them that were 853 his heirs,3423 saith5002 the LORD.3068
3 Howl,3213 O Heshbon,2809 for3588 Ai5857 is spoiled:7703 cry,6817 ye daughters1323 of Rabbah,7237 gird2296 you with sackcloth;8242 lament,5594 and run to and fro7751 by the hedges;1448 for3588 their king4428 shall go1980 into captivity,1473 and his priests3548 and his princes8269 together.3162
4 Wherefore4100 gloriest1984 thou in the valleys,6010 thy flowing2100 valley,6010 O backsliding7728 daughter?1323 that trusted982 in her treasures,214 saying, Who4310 shall come935 unto413 me?
5 Behold,2009 I will bring935 a fear6343 upon5921 thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 from all4480 3605 those that be about5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out5080 every man376 right forth;6440 and none369 shall gather up6908 him that wandereth.5074
6 And afterward310 3651 I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of the children1121 of Ammon,5983 saith5002 the LORD.3068
7 Concerning Edom,123 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Is wisdom2451 no369 more5750 in Teman?8487 is counsel6098 perished6 from the prudent?4480 995 is their wisdom2451 vanished?5628
8 Flee5127 ye, turn back,6437 dwell3427 deep,6009 O inhabitants3427 of Dedan;1719 for3588 I will bring935 the calamity343 of Esau6215 upon5921 him, the time6256 that I will visit6485 him.
9 If518 grape gatherers1219 come935 to thee, would they not3808 leave7604 some gleaning grapes?5955 if518 thieves1590 by night,3915 they will destroy7843 till they have enough.1767
10 But3588 I589 have made 853 Esau6215 bare,2834 I have uncovered1540 853 his secret places,4565 and he shall not3808 be able3201 to hide himself:2247 his seed2233 is spoiled,7703 and his brethren,251 and his neighbors,7934 and he is not.369
11 Leave5800 thy fatherless children,3490 I589 will preserve them alive;2421 and let thy widows490 trust982 in5921 me.
12 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 they whose834 judgment4941 was not369 to drink8354 of the cup3563 have assuredly drunken;8354 8354 and art thou859 he1931 that shall altogether go unpunished?5352 5352 thou shalt not3808 go unpunished,5352 but3588 thou shalt surely drink8354 8354 of it.
13 For3588 I have sworn7650 by myself, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 Bozrah1224 shall become1961 a desolation,8047 a reproach,2781 a waste,2721 and a curse;7045 and all3605 the cities5892 thereof shall be1961 perpetual5769 wastes.2723
14 I have heard8085 a rumor8052 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 and an ambassador6735 is sent7971 unto the heathen,1471 saying, Gather ye together,6908 and come935 against5921 her, and rise up6965 to the battle.4421
15 For,3588 lo,2009 I will make5414 thee small6996 among the heathen,1471 and despised959 among men.120
16 Thy terribleness8606 hath deceived5377 thee, and the pride2087 of thine heart,3820 O thou that dwellest7931 in the clefts2288 of the rock,5553 that holdest8610 the height4791 of the hill:1389 though3588 thou shouldest make thy nest7064 as high1361 as the eagle,5404 I will bring thee down3381 from thence,4480 8033 saith5002 the LORD.3068
17 Also Edom123 shall be1961 a desolation:8047 every one3605 that goeth5674 by5921 it shall be astonished,8074 and shall hiss8319 at5921 all3605 the plagues4347 thereof.
18 As in the overthrow4114 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 and the neighbor7934 cities thereof, saith559 the LORD,3068 no3808 man376 shall abide3427 there,8033 neither3808 shall a son1121 of man120 dwell1481 in it.
19 Behold,2009 he shall come up5927 like a lion738 from the swelling4480 1347 of Jordan3383 against413 the habitation5116 of the strong:386 but3588 I will suddenly7280 make him run away7323 from4480 5921 her: and who4310 is a chosen977 man, that I may appoint6485 over413 her? for3588 who4310 is like me?3644 and who4310 will appoint3259 me the time? and who4310 is that2088 shepherd7462 that834 will stand5975 before6440 me?
20 Therefore3651 hear8085 the counsel6098 of the LORD,3068 that834 he hath taken3289 against413 Edom;123 and his purposes,4284 that834 he hath purposed2803 against413 the inhabitants3427 of Teman:8487 Surely518 3808 the least6810 of the flock6629 shall draw them out:5498 surely518 3808 he shall make their habitations5116 desolate8074 with5921 them.
21 The earth776 is moved7493 at the noise4480 6963 of their fall,5307 at the cry6818 the noise6963 thereof was heard8085 in the Red5488 sea.3220
22 Behold,2009 he shall come up5927 and fly1675 as the eagle,5404 and spread6566 his wings3671 over5921 Bozrah:1224 and at that1931 day3117 shall the heart3820 of the mighty men1368 of Edom123 be1961 as the heart3820 of a woman802 in her pangs.6887
23 Concerning Damascus.1834 Hamath2574 is confounded,954 and Arpad:774 for3588 they have heard8085 evil7451 tidings:8052 they are fainthearted;4127 there is sorrow1674 on the sea;3220 it cannot3808 3201 be quiet.8252
24 Damascus1834 is waxed feeble,7503 and turneth herself6437 to flee,5127 and fear7374 hath seized2388 on her: anguish6869 and sorrows2256 have taken270 her, as a woman in travail.3205
25 How349 is the city5892 of praise8416 not3808 left,5800 the city7151 of my joy!4885
26 Therefore3651 her young men970 shall fall5307 in her streets,7339 and all3605 the men376 of war4421 shall be cut off1826 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
27 And I will kindle3341 a fire784 in the wall2346 of Damascus,1834 and it shall consume398 the palaces759 of Ben-hadad.1130
28 Concerning Kedar,6938 and concerning the kingdoms4467 of Hazor,2674 which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 shall smite,5221 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Arise6965 ye, go up5927 to413 Kedar,6938 and spoil7703 853 the men1121 of the east.6924
29 Their tents168 and their flocks6629 shall they take away:3947 they shall take5375 to themselves their curtains,3407 and all3605 their vessels,3627 and their camels;1581 and they shall cry7121 unto5921 them, Fear4032 is on every side.4480 5439
30 Flee,5127 get5110 you far off,3966 dwell3427 deep,6009 O ye inhabitants3427 of Hazor,2674 saith5002 the LORD;3068 for3588 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 hath taken3289 counsel6098 against5921 you, and hath conceived2803 a purpose4284 against5921 you.
31 Arise,6965 get you up5927 unto413 the wealthy7961 nation,1471 that dwelleth3427 without care,983 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which have neither3808 gates1817 nor3808 bars,1280 which dwell7931 alone.910
32 And their camels1581 shall be1961 a booty,957 and the multitude1995 of their cattle4735 a spoil:7998 and I will scatter2219 into all3605 winds7307 them that are in the utmost7112 corners;6285 and I will bring935 853 their calamity343 from all4480 3605 sides5676 thereof, saith5002 the LORD.3068
33 And Hazor2674 shall be1961 a dwelling4583 for dragons,8577 and a desolation8077 forever:5704 5769 there shall no3808 man376 abide3427 there,8033 nor3808 any son1121 of man120 dwell1481 in it.
34 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that834 came1961 to413 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 against413 Elam5867 in the beginning7225 of the reign4438 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,559
35 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold,2009 I will break7665 853 the bow7198 of Elam,5867 the chief7225 of their might.1369
36 And upon413 Elam5867 will I bring935 the four702 winds7307 from the four4480 702 quarters7098 of heaven,8064 and will scatter2219 them toward all3605 those428 winds;7307 and there shall be1961 no3808 nation1471 whither834 8033 the outcasts5080 of Elam5867 shall not3808 come.935
37 For I will cause 853 Elam5867 to be dismayed2865 before6440 their enemies,341 and before6440 them that seek1245 their life:5315 and I will bring935 evil7451 upon5921 them, even 853 my fierce2740 anger,639 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will send7971 853 the sword2719 after310 them, till5704 I have consumed3615 them:
38 And I will set7760 my throne3678 in Elam,5867 and will destroy6 from thence4480 8033 the king4428 and the princes,8269 saith5002 the LORD.3068
39 But it shall come to pass1961 in the latter319 days,3117 that I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of Elam,5867 saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 The word1697 that834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 against413 Babylon894 and against413 the land776 of the Chaldeans3778 by3027 Jeremiah3414 the prophet.5030
2 Declare5046 ye among the nations,1471 and publish,8085 and set up5375 a standard;5251 publish,8085 and conceal3582 not:408 say,559 Babylon894 is taken,3920 Bel1078 is confounded,3001 Merodach4781 is broken in pieces;2844 her idols6091 are confounded,3001 her images1544 are broken in pieces.2865
3 For3588 out of the north4480 6828 there cometh up5927 a nation1471 against5921 her, which1931 shall make7896 853 her land776 desolate,8047 and none3808 shall1961 dwell3427 therein: they shall remove,5110 they shall depart,1980 both man4480 120 and beast.929
4 In those1992 days,3117 and in that1931 time,6256 saith5002 the LORD,3068 the children1121 of Israel3478 shall come,935 they1992 and the children1121 of Judah3063 together,3162 going1980 and weeping:1058 they shall go,1980 and seek1245 the LORD3068 their God.430
5 They shall ask7592 the way1870 to Zion6726 with their faces6440 thitherward,2008 saying, Come,935 and let us join ourselves3867 to413 the LORD3068 in a perpetual5769 covenant1285 that shall not3808 be forgotten.7911
6 My people5971 hath been1961 lost6 sheep:6629 their shepherds7462 have caused them to go astray,8582 they have turned them away7725 on the mountains:2022 they have gone1980 from mountain4480 2022 to413 hill,1389 they have forgotten7911 their resting place.7258
7 All3605 that found4672 them have devoured398 them: and their adversaries6862 said,559 We offend816 not,3808 because8478 834 they have sinned2398 against the LORD,3068 the habitation5116 of justice,6664 even the LORD,3068 the hope4723 of their fathers.1
8 Remove5110 out of the midst4480 8432 of Babylon,894 and go forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of the Chaldeans,3778 and be1961 as the he goats6260 before6440 the flocks.6629
9 For,3588 lo,2009 I595 will raise5782 and cause to come up5927 against5921 Babylon894 an assembly6951 of great1419 nations1471 from the north6828 country:4480 776 and they shall set themselves in array6186 against her; from thence4480 8033 she shall be taken:3920 their arrows2671 shall be as of a mighty1368 expert7919 man; none3808 shall return7725 in vain.7387
10 And Chaldea3778 shall be1961 a spoil:7997 all3605 that spoil7998 her shall be satisfied,7646 saith5002 the LORD.3068
11 Because3588 ye were glad,8055 because3588 ye rejoiced,5937 O ye destroyers8154 of mine heritage,5159 because3588 ye are grown fat6335 as the heifer5697 at grass,1877 and bellow6670 as bulls;47
12 Your mother517 shall be sore3966 confounded;954 she that bore3205 you shall be ashamed:2659 behold,2009 the hindmost319 of the nations1471 shall be a wilderness,4057 a dry land,6723 and a desert.6160
13 Because of the wrath4480 7110 of the LORD3068 it shall not3808 be inhabited,3427 but it shall be1961 wholly3605 desolate:8077 every one3605 that goeth5674 by5921 Babylon894 shall be astonished,8074 and hiss8319 at5921 all3605 her plagues.4347
14 Put yourselves in array6186 against5921 Babylon894 round about:5439 all3605 ye that bend1869 the bow,7198 shoot3034 at413 her, spare2550 no408 arrows:2671 for3588 she hath sinned2398 against the LORD.3068
15 Shout7321 against5921 her round about:5439 she hath given5414 her hand:3027 her foundations803 are fallen,5307 her walls2346 are thrown down:2040 for3588 it1931 is the vengeance5360 of the LORD:3068 take vengeance5358 upon her; as834 she hath done,6213 do6213 unto her.
16 Cut off3772 the sower2232 from Babylon,4480 894 and him that handleth8610 the sickle4038 in the time6256 of harvest:7105 for fear4480 6440 of the oppressing3238 sword2719 they shall turn6437 every one376 to413 his people,5971 and they shall flee5127 every one376 to his own land.776
17 Israel3478 is a scattered6340 sheep;7716 the lions738 have driven him away:5080 first7223 the king4428 of Assyria804 hath devoured398 him; and last314 this2088 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 hath broken his bones.6105
18 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold,2009 I will punish6485 413 the king4428 of Babylon894 and his land,776 as834 I have punished6485 413 the king4428 of Assyria.804
19 And I will bring7725 853 Israel3478 again to413 his habitation,5116 and he shall feed7462 on Carmel3760 and Bashan,1316 and his soul5315 shall be satisfied7646 upon mount2022 Ephraim669 and Gilead.1568
20 In those1992 days,3117 and in that1931 time,6256 saith5002 the LORD,3068 853 the iniquity5771 of Israel3478 shall be sought for,1245 and there shall be none;369 and the sins2403 of Judah,3063 and they shall not3808 be found:4672 for3588 I will pardon5545 them whom834 I reserve.7604
21 Go up5927 against5921 the land776 of Merathaim,4850 even against5921 it, and against413 the inhabitants3427 of Pekod:6489 waste2717 and utterly destroy2763 after310 them, saith5002 the LORD,3068 and do6213 according to all3605 that834 I have commanded6680 thee.
22 A sound6963 of battle4421 is in the land,776 and of great1419 destruction.7667
23 How349 is the hammer6360 of the whole3605 earth776 cut asunder1438 and broken!7665 how349 is Babylon894 become1961 a desolation8047 among the nations!1471
24 I have laid a snare3369 for thee, and thou art also1571 taken,3920 O Babylon,894 and thou859 wast not3808 aware:3045 thou art found,4672 and also1571 caught,8610 because3588 thou hast striven1624 against the LORD.3068
25 The LORD3068 hath opened6605 853 his armory,214 and hath brought forth3318 853 the weapons3627 of his indignation:2195 for3588 this1931 is the work4399 of the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 in the land776 of the Chaldeans.3778
26 Come935 against her from the utmost border,4480 7093 open6605 her storehouses:3965 cast her up5549 as heaps,6194 and destroy2763 her utterly: let nothing408 of her be1961 left.7611
27 Slay2717 all3605 her bullocks;6499 let them go down3381 to the slaughter:2874 woe1945 unto5921 them! for3588 their day3117 is come,935 the time6256 of their visitation.6486
28 The voice6963 of them that flee5127 and escape6412 out of the land4480 776 of Babylon,894 to declare5046 in Zion6726 853 the vengeance5360 of the LORD3068 our God,430 the vengeance5360 of his temple.1964
29 Call together8085 the archers7228 against413 Babylon:894 all3605 ye that bend1869 the bow,7198 camp2583 against5921 it round about;5439 let1961 none408 thereof escape:6413 recompense7999 her according to her work;6467 according to all3605 that834 she hath done,6213 do6213 unto her: for3588 she hath been proud2102 against413 the LORD,3068 against413 the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478
30 Therefore3651 shall her young men970 fall5307 in the streets,7339 and all3605 her men376 of war4421 shall be cut off1826 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD.3068
31 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, O thou most proud,2087 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts:6635 for3588 thy day3117 is come,935 the time6256 that I will visit6485 thee.
32 And the most proud2087 shall stumble3782 and fall,5307 and none369 shall raise him up:6965 and I will kindle3341 a fire784 in his cities,5892 and it shall devour398 all3605 round about5439 him.
33 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 The children1121 of Israel3478 and the children1121 of Judah3063 were oppressed6231 together:3162 and all3605 that took them captives7617 held them fast;2388 they refused3985 to let them go.7971
34 Their Redeemer1350 is strong;2389 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name:8034 he shall throughly plead7378 7378 853 their cause,7379 that4616 he may give rest7280 853 to the land,776 and disquiet7264 the inhabitants3427 of Babylon.894
35 A sword2719 is upon5921 the Chaldeans,3778 saith5002 the LORD,3068 and upon413 the inhabitants3427 of Babylon,894 and upon413 her princes,8269 and upon413 her wise2450 men.
36 A sword2719 is upon413 the liars;907 and they shall dote:2973 a sword2719 is upon413 her mighty men;1368 and they shall be dismayed.2865
37 A sword2719 is upon413 their horses,5483 and upon413 their chariots,7393 and upon413 all3605 the mingled people6154 that834 are in the midst8432 of her; and they shall become1961 as women:802 a sword2719 is upon413 her treasures;214 and they shall be robbed.962
38 A drought2721 is upon413 her waters;4325 and they shall be dried up:3001 for3588 it is the land776 of graven images,6456 and they1931 are mad1984 upon their idols.367
39 Therefore3651 the wild beasts of the desert6728 with854 the wild beasts of the islands338 shall dwell3427 there, and the owls1323 3284 shall dwell3427 therein: and it shall be no3808 more5750 inhabited3427 forever;5331 neither3808 shall it be dwelt in7931 from5704 generation1755 to generation.1755
40 As God430 overthrew4114 853 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 and the neighbor7934 cities thereof, saith5002 the LORD;3068 so shall no3808 man376 abide3427 there,8033 neither3808 shall any son1121 of man120 dwell1481 therein.
41 Behold,2009 a people5971 shall come935 from the north,4480 6828 and a great1419 nation,1471 and many7227 kings4428 shall be raised up5782 from the coasts4480 3411 of the earth.776
42 They shall hold2388 the bow7198 and the lance:3591 they1992 are cruel,394 and will not3808 show mercy:7355 their voice6963 shall roar1993 like the sea,3220 and they shall ride7392 upon5921 horses,5483 every one put in array,6186 like a man376 to the battle,4421 against5921 thee, O daughter1323 of Babylon.894
43 The king4428 of Babylon894 hath heard8085 853 the report8088 of them, and his hands3027 waxed feeble:7503 anguish6869 took hold2388 of him, and pangs2427 as of a woman in travail.3205
44 Behold,2009 he shall come up5927 like a lion738 from the swelling4480 1347 of Jordan3383 unto413 the habitation5116 of the strong:386 but3588 I will make them suddenly7280 run away7323 from4480 5921 her: and who4310 is a chosen977 man, that I may appoint6485 over413 her? for3588 who4310 is like me?3644 and who4310 will appoint me the time?3259 and who4310 is that2088 shepherd7462 that834 will stand5975 before6440 me?
45 Therefore3651 hear8085 ye the counsel6098 of the LORD,3068 that834 he hath taken3289 against413 Babylon;894 and his purposes,4284 that834 he hath purposed2803 against413 the land776 of the Chaldeans:3778 Surely518 3808 the least6810 of the flock6629 shall draw them out:5498 surely518 3808 he shall make their habitation5116 desolate8074 with5921 them.
46 At the noise4480 6963 of the taking8610 of Babylon894 the earth776 is moved,7493 and the cry2201 is heard8085 among the nations.1471
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will raise up5782 against5921 Babylon,894 and against413 them that dwell3427 in the midst3820 of them that rise up6965 against me, a destroying7843 wind;7307
2 And will send7971 unto Babylon894 fanners,2114 that shall fan2219 her, and shall empty1238 853 her land:776 for3588 in the day3117 of trouble7451 they shall be1961 against5921 her round about.4480 5439
3 Against413 him that bendeth1869 let the archer1869 bend1869 his bow,7198 and against413 him that lifteth himself up5927 in his brigandine:5630 and spare2550 ye not408 her young men;970 destroy ye utterly2763 all3605 her host.6635
4 Thus the slain2491 shall fall5307 in the land776 of the Chaldeans,3778 and they that are thrust through1856 in her streets.2351
5 For3588 Israel3478 hath not3808 been forsaken,488 nor Judah3063 of his God,4480 430 of the LORD4480 3068 of hosts;6635 though3588 their land776 was filled4390 with sin817 against the Holy One4480 6918 of Israel.3478
6 Flee5127 out of the midst4480 8432 of Babylon,894 and deliver4422 every man376 his soul:5315 be not408 cut off1826 in her iniquity;5771 for3588 this1931 is the time6256 of the LORD's3068 vengeance;5360 he will render7999 unto her a recompense.1576
7 Babylon894 hath been a golden2091 cup3563 in the LORD's3068 hand,3027 that made all3605 the earth776 drunken:7937 the nations1471 have drunken8354 of her wine;4480 3196 therefore5921 3651 the nations1471 are mad.1984
8 Babylon894 is suddenly6597 fallen5307 and destroyed:7665 howl3213 for5921 her; take3947 balm6875 for her pain,4341 if so be194 she may be healed.7495
9 We would have healed7495 853 Babylon,894 but she is not3808 healed:7495 forsake5800 her, and let us go1980 every one376 into his own country:776 for3588 her judgment4941 reacheth5060 unto413 heaven,8064 and is lifted up5375 even to5704 the skies.7834
10 The LORD3068 hath brought forth3318 853 our righteousness:6666 come,935 and let us declare5608 in Zion6726 853 the work4639 of the LORD3068 our God.430
11 Make bright1305 the arrows;2671 gather4390 the shields:7982 the LORD3068 hath raised up5782 853 the spirit7307 of the kings4428 of the Medes:4074 for3588 his device4209 is against5921 Babylon,894 to destroy7843 it; because3588 it1931 is the vengeance5360 of the LORD,3068 the vengeance5360 of his temple.1964
12 Set up5375 the standard5251 upon413 the walls2346 of Babylon,894 make the watch4929 strong,2388 set up6965 the watchmen,8104 prepare3559 the ambushes:693 for3588 the LORD3068 hath both1571 devised2161 and1571 done6213 853 that which834 he spoke1696 against413 the inhabitants3427 of Babylon.894
13 O thou that dwellest7931 upon5921 many7227 waters,4325 abundant7227 in treasures,214 thine end7093 is come,935 and the measure520 of thy covetousness.1215
14 The LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath sworn7650 by himself,5315 saying, Surely3588 518 I will fill4390 thee with men,120 as with caterpillars;3218 and they shall lift up6030 a shout1959 against5921 thee.
15 He hath made6213 the earth776 by his power,3581 he hath established3559 the world8398 by his wisdom,2451 and hath stretched out5186 the heaven8064 by his understanding.8394
16 When he uttereth5414 his voice,6963 there is a multitude1995 of waters4325 in the heavens;8064 and he causeth the vapors5387 to ascend5927 from the ends4480 7097 of the earth:776 he maketh6213 lightnings1300 with rain,4306 and bringeth forth3318 the wind7307 out of his treasures.4480 214
17 Every3605 man120 is brutish1197 by his knowledge;4480 1847 every3605 founder6884 is confounded3001 by the graven image:4480 6459 for3588 his molten image5262 is falsehood,8267 and there is no3808 breath7307 in them.
18 They1992 are vanity,1892 the work4639 of errors:8595 in the time6256 of their visitation6486 they shall perish.6
19 The portion2506 of Jacob3290 is not3808 like them;428 for3588 he1931 is the former3335 of all things:3605 and Israel is the rod7626 of his inheritance:5159 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 is his name.8034
20 Thou859 art my battle axe4661 and weapons3627 of war:4421 for with thee will I break in pieces5310 the nations,1471 and with thee will I destroy7843 kingdoms;4467
21 And with thee will I break in pieces5310 the horse5483 and his rider;7392 and with thee will I break in pieces5310 the chariot7393 and his rider;7392
22 With thee also will I break in pieces5310 man376 and woman;802 and with thee will I break in pieces5310 old2205 and young;5288 and with thee will I break in pieces5310 the young man970 and the maid;1330
23 I will also break in pieces5310 with thee the shepherd7462 and his flock;5739 and with thee will I break in pieces5310 the husbandman406 and his yoke of oxen;6776 and with thee will I break in pieces5310 captains6346 and rulers.5461
24 And I will render7999 unto Babylon894 and to all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Chaldea3778 853 all3605 their evil7451 that834 they have done6213 in Zion6726 in your sight,5869 saith5002 the LORD.3068
25 Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, O destroying4889 mountain,2022 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which destroyest7843 853 all3605 the earth:776 and I will stretch out5186 853 mine hand3027 upon5921 thee, and roll thee down1556 from4480 the rocks,5553 and will make5414 thee a burnt8316 mountain.2022
26 And they shall not3808 take3947 of4480 thee a stone68 for a corner,6438 nor a stone68 for foundations;4146 but3588 thou shalt be1961 desolate8077 forever,5769 saith5002 the LORD.3068
27 Set ye up5375 a standard5251 in the land,776 blow8628 the trumpet7782 among the nations,1471 prepare6942 the nations1471 against5921 her, call together8085 against5921 her the kingdoms4467 of Ararat,780 Minni,4508 and Ashchenaz;813 appoint6485 a captain2951 against5921 her; cause the horses5483 to come up5927 as the rough5569 caterpillars.3218
28 Prepare6942 against5921 her the nations1471 with 853 the kings4428 of the Medes,4074 853 the captains6346 thereof, and all3605 the rulers5461 thereof, and all3605 the land776 of his dominion.4475
29 And the land776 shall tremble7493 and sorrow:2342 for3588 every purpose4284 of the LORD3068 shall be performed6965 against5921 Babylon,894 to make7760 853 the land776 of Babylon894 a desolation8047 without4480 369 an inhabitant.3427
30 The mighty men1368 of Babylon894 have forborne2308 to fight,3898 they have remained3427 in their holds:4679 their might1369 hath failed;5405 they became1961 as women:802 they have burned3341 her dwelling places;4908 her bars1280 are broken.7665
31 One post7323 shall run7323 to meet7125 another,7323 and one messenger5046 to meet7125 another,5046 to show5046 the king4428 of Babylon894 that3588 his city5892 is taken3920 at one end,4480 7097
32 And that the passages4569 are stopped,8610 and the reeds98 they have burned8313 with fire,784 and the men376 of war4421 are frightened.926
33 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 The daughter1323 of Babylon894 is like a threshingfloor,1637 it is time6256 to thresh1869 her: yet5750 a little while,4592 and the time6256 of her harvest7105 shall come.935
34 Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon894 hath devoured398 me, he hath crushed2000 me, he hath made3322 me an empty7385 vessel,3627 he hath swallowed me up1104 like a dragon,8577 he hath filled4390 his belly3770 with my delicacies,4480 5730 he hath cast me out.1740
35 The violence2555 done to me and to my flesh7607 be upon5921 Babylon,894 shall the inhabitant3427 of Zion6726 say;559 and my blood1818 upon413 the inhabitants3427 of Chaldea,3778 shall Jerusalem3389 say.559
36 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold,2009 I will plead7378 853 thy cause,7379 and take vengeance for thee;5358 853 5360 and I will dry up2717 853 her sea,3220 and make 853 her springs4726 dry.3001
37 And Babylon894 shall become1961 heaps,1530 a dwelling place4583 for dragons,8577 an astonishment,8047 and a hissing,8322 without4480 369 an inhabitant.3427
38 They shall roar7580 together3162 like lions:3715 they shall yell5286 as lions'738 whelps.1484
39 In their heat2527 I will make7896 853 their feasts,4960 and I will make them drunken,7937 that4616 they may rejoice,5937 and sleep3462 a perpetual5769 sleep,8142 and not3808 wake,6974 saith5002 the LORD.3068
40 I will bring them down3381 like lambs3733 to the slaughter,2873 like rams352 with5973 he goats.6260
41 How349 is Sheshach8347 taken!3920 and how is the praise8416 of the whole3605 earth776 surprised!8610 how349 is Babylon894 become1961 an astonishment8047 among the nations!1471
42 The sea3220 is come up5927 upon5921 Babylon:894 she is covered3680 with the multitude1995 of the waves1530 thereof.
43 Her cities5892 are1961 a desolation,8047 a dry6723 land,776 and a wilderness,6160 a land776 wherein2004 no3605 3808 man376 dwelleth,3427 neither3808 doth any son1121 of man120 pass5674 thereby.2004
44 And I will punish6485 5921 Bel1078 in Babylon,894 and I will bring forth3318 out of his mouth4480 6310 853 that which he hath swallowed up:1105 and the nations1471 shall not3808 flow together5102 any more5750 unto413 him: yea,1571 the wall2346 of Babylon894 shall fall.5307
45 My people,5971 go3318 ye out of the midst4480 8432 of her, and deliver4422 ye every man376 853 his soul5315 from the fierce4480 2740 anger639 of the LORD.3068
46 And lest6435 your heart3824 faint,7401 and ye fear3372 for the rumor8052 that shall be heard8085 in the land;776 a rumor8052 shall both come935 one year,8141 and after310 that in another year8141 shall come a rumor,8052 and violence2555 in the land,776 ruler4910 against5921 ruler.4910
47 Therefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 that I will do judgment6485 upon5921 the graven images6456 of Babylon:894 and her whole3605 land776 shall be confounded,954 and all3605 her slain2491 shall fall5307 in the midst8432 of her.
48 Then the heaven8064 and the earth,776 and all3605 that834 is therein, shall sing7442 for5921 Babylon:894 for3588 the spoilers7703 shall come935 unto her from the north,4480 6828 saith5002 the LORD.3068
49 As1571 Babylon894 hath caused the slain2491 of Israel3478 to fall,5307 so1571 at Babylon894 shall fall5307 the slain2491 of all3605 the earth.776
50 Ye that have escaped6412 the sword,4480 2719 go away,1980 stand not still:408 5975 remember2142 853 the LORD3068 afar off,7350 and let Jerusalem3389 come5927 into5921 your mind.3824
51 We are confounded,954 because3588 we have heard8085 reproach:2781 shame3639 hath covered3680 our faces:6440 for3588 strangers2114 are come935 into5921 the sanctuaries4720 of the LORD's3068 house.1004
52 Wherefore,3651 behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that I will do judgment6485 upon5921 her graven images:6456 and through all3605 her land776 the wounded2491 shall groan.602
53 Though3588 Babylon894 should mount up5927 to heaven,8064 and though3588 she should fortify1219 the height4791 of her strength,5797 yet from4480 854 me shall spoilers7703 come935 unto her, saith5002 the LORD.3068
54 A sound6963 of a cry2201 cometh from Babylon,4480 894 and great1419 destruction7667 from the land4480 776 of the Chaldeans:3778
55 Because3588 the LORD3068 hath spoiled7703 853 Babylon,894 and destroyed6 out of4480 her the great1419 voice;6963 when her waves1530 do roar1993 like great7227 waters,4325 a noise7588 of their voice6963 is uttered:5414
56 Because3588 the spoiler7703 is come935 upon5921 her, even upon5921 Babylon,894 and her mighty men1368 are taken,3920 every one of their bows7198 is broken:2865 for3588 the LORD3068 God410 of recompenses1578 shall surely requite.7999 7999
57 And I will make drunk7937 her princes,8269 and her wise2450 men, her captains,6346 and her rulers,5461 and her mighty men:1368 and they shall sleep3462 a perpetual5769 sleep,8142 and not3808 wake,6974 saith5002 the King,4428 whose name8034 is the LORD3068 of hosts.6635
58 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 The broad7342 walls2346 of Babylon894 shall be utterly broken,6209 6209 and her high1364 gates8179 shall be burned3341 with fire;784 and the people5971 shall labor3021 in vain,7385 and the folk3816 in the fire,784 and they shall be weary.3286
59 The word1697 which834 Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 commanded6680 853 Seraiah8304 the son1121 of Neriah,5374 the son1121 of Maaseiah,4271 when he went1980 with854 Zedekiah6667 the king4428 of Judah3063 into Babylon894 in the fourth7243 year8141 of his reign.4427 And this Seraiah8304 was a quiet4496 prince.8269
60 So Jeremiah3414 wrote3789 in413 a259 book5612 853 all3605 the evil7451 that834 should come935 upon413 Babylon,894 even 853 all3605 these428 words1697 that are written3789 against413 Babylon.894
61 And Jeremiah3414 said559 to413 Seraiah,8304 When thou comest935 to Babylon,894 and shalt see,7200 and shalt read7121 853 all3605 these428 words;1697
62 Then shalt thou say,559 O LORD,3068 thou859 hast spoken1696 against413 this2088 place,4725 to cut it off,3772 that none1115 shall1961 remain3427 in it, neither man4480 120 nor5704 beast,929 but3588 that it shall be1961 desolate8077 forever.5769
63 And it shall be,1961 when thou hast made an end3615 of reading7121 853 this2088 book,5612 that thou shalt bind7194 a stone68 to5921 it, and cast7993 it into413 the midst8432 of Euphrates:6578
64 And thou shalt say,559 Thus3602 shall Babylon894 sink,8257 and shall not3808 rise6965 from4480 6440 the evil7451 that834 I595 will bring935 upon5921 her: and they shall be weary.3286 Thus5704 far2008 are the words1697 of Jeremiah.3414
1 Zedekiah6667 was one259 and twenty6242 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign,4427 and he reigned4427 eleven6259 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Hamutal2537 the daughter1323 of Jeremiah3414 of Libnah.4480 3841
2 And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the eyes5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that834 Jehoiakim3079 had done.6213
3 For3588 through5921 the anger639 of the LORD3068 it came to pass1961 in Jerusalem3389 and Judah,3063 till5704 he had cast them out7993 853 from4480 5921 his presence,6440 that Zedekiah6667 rebelled4775 against the king4428 of Babylon.894
4 And it came to pass1961 in the ninth8671 year8141 of his reign,4427 in the tenth6224 month,2320 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 that Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 came,935 he1931 and all3605 his army,2428 against5921 Jerusalem,3389 and pitched2583 against5921 it, and built1129 forts1785 against5921 it round about.5439
5 So the city5892 was besieged935 4692 unto5704 the eleventh6249 6240 year8141 of king4428 Zedekiah.6667
6 And in the fourth7243 month,2320 in the ninth8672 day of the month,2320 the famine7458 was sore2388 in the city,5892 so that there was1961 no3808 bread3899 for the people5971 of the land.776
7 Then the city5892 was broken up,1234 and all3605 the men376 of war4421 fled,1272 and went forth3318 out of the city4480 5892 by night3915 by the way1870 of the gate8179 between996 the two walls,2346 which834 was by5921 the king's4428 garden;1588 (now the Chaldeans3778 were by5921 the city5892 round about:)5439 and they went1980 by the way1870 of the plain.6160
8 But the army2428 of the Chaldeans3778 pursued7291 after310 the king,4428 and overtook5381 853 Zedekiah6667 in the plains6160 of Jericho;3405 and all3605 his army2428 was scattered6327 from4480 5921 him.
9 Then they took8610 853 the king,4428 and carried him up5927 unto413 the king4428 of Babylon894 to Riblah7247 in the land776 of Hamath;2574 where he gave1696 judgment4941 upon854 him.
10 And the king4428 of Babylon894 slew7819 853 the sons1121 of Zedekiah6667 before his eyes:5869 he slew7819 also1571 853 all3605 the princes8269 of Judah3063 in Riblah.7247
11 Then he put out5786 the eyes5869 of Zedekiah;6667 and the king4428 of Babylon894 bound631 him in chains,5178 and carried935 him to Babylon,894 and put5414 him in prison1004 6486 till5704 the day3117 of his death.4194
12 Now in the fifth2549 month,2320 in the tenth6218 day of the month,2320 which1931 was the nineteenth8672 6240 year8141 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 came935 Nebuzaradan,5018 captain7227 of the guard,2876 which served5975 6440 the king4428 of Babylon,894 into Jerusalem,3389
13 And burned8313 853 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the king's4428 house;1004 and all3605 the houses1004 of Jerusalem,3389 and all3605 the houses1004 of the great1419 men, burned8313 he with fire:784
14 And all3605 the army2428 of the Chaldeans,3778 that834 were with854 the captain7227 of the guard,2876 broke down5422 all3605 the walls2346 of Jerusalem3389 round about.5439
15 Then Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 carried away captive1540 certain of the poor4480 1803 of the people,5971 and the residue3499 of the people5971 that remained7604 in the city,5892 and those that fell away,5307 that834 fell5307 to413 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and the rest3499 of the multitude.527
16 But Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 left7604 certain of the poor4480 1803 of the land776 for vinedressers3755 and for husbandmen.3009
17 Also the pillars5982 of brass5178 that834 were in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the bases,4350 and the brazen5178 sea3220 that834 was in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 the Chaldeans3778 broke,7665 and carried5375 853 all3605 the brass5178 of them to Babylon.894
18 The caldrons5518 also, and the shovels,3257 and the snuffers,4212 and the bowls,4219 and the spoons,3709 and all3605 the vessels3627 of brass5178 wherewith834 they ministered,8334 took they away.3947
19 And the basins,5592 and the firepans,4289 and the bowls,4219 and the caldrons,5518 and the candlesticks,4501 and the spoons,3709 and the cups;4518 that which834 was of gold2091 in gold,2091 and that which834 was of silver3701 in silver,3701 took3947 the captain7227 of the guard2876 away.
20 The two8147 pillars,5982 one259 sea,3220 and twelve8147 6240 brazen5178 bulls1241 that834 were under8478 the bases,4350 which834 king4428 Solomon8010 had made6213 in the house1004 of the LORD:3068 the brass5178 of all3605 these428 vessels3627 was1961 without3808 weight.4948
21 And concerning the pillars,5982 the height6967 of one259 pillar5982 was eighteen8083 6240 cubits;520 and a fillet2339 of twelve8147 6240 cubits520 did compass5437 it; and the thickness5672 thereof was four702 fingers:676 it was hollow.5014
22 And a chapiter3805 of brass5178 was upon5921 it; and the height6967 of one259 chapiter3805 was five2568 cubits,520 with network7639 and pomegranates7416 upon5921 the chapiters3805 round about,5439 all3605 of brass.5178 The second8145 pillar5982 also and the pomegranates7416 were like unto these.428
23 And there were1961 ninety8673 and six8337 pomegranates7416 on a side;7307 and all3605 the pomegranates7416 upon5921 the network7639 were a hundred3967 round about.5439
24 And the captain7227 of the guard2876 took3947 853 Seraiah8304 the chief7218 priest,3548 and Zephaniah6846 the second4932 priest,3548 and the three7969 keepers8104 of the door:5592
25 He took3947 also out of4480 the city5892 a259 eunuch,5631 which834 had1961 the charge6496 of5921 the men376 of war;4421 and seven7651 men376 of them that were near4480 7200 the king's4428 person,6440 which834 were found4672 in the city;5892 and the principal8269 scribe5608 of the host,6635 who mustered6633 853 the people5971 of the land;776 and threescore8346 men376 of the people4480 5971 of the land,776 that were found4672 in the midst8432 of the city.5892
26 So Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 took3947 them, and brought1980 them to413 the king4428 of Babylon894 to Riblah.7247
27 And the king4428 of Babylon894 smote5221 them, and put them to death4191 in Riblah7247 in the land776 of Hamath.2574 Thus Judah3063 was carried away captive1540 out of4480 5921 his own land.127
28 This2088 is the people5971 whom834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 carried away captive:1540 in the seventh7651 year8141 three7969 thousand505 Jews3064 and three7969 and twenty:6242
29 In the eighteenth8083 6240 year8141 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 he carried away captive1540 from Jerusalem4480 3389 eight8083 hundred3967 thirty7970 and two8147 persons:5315
30 In the three7969 and twentieth6242 year8141 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 carried away captive1540 of the Jews3064 seven7651 hundred3967 forty705 and five2568 persons:5315 all3605 the persons5315 were four702 thousand505 and six8337 hundred.3967
31 And it came to pass1961 in the seven7651 and thirtieth7970 year8141 of the captivity1546 of Jehoiachin3078 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the twelfth8147 6240 month,2320 in the five2568 and twentieth6242 day of the month,2320 that Evil-merodach192 king4428 of Babylon894 in the first year8141 of his reign4438 lifted up5375 853 the head7218 of Jehoiachin3078 king4428 of Judah,3063 and brought him forth3318 853 out of prison,4480 1004 3628
32 And spoke1696 kindly2896 unto854 him, and set5414 853 his throne3678 above4480 4605 the throne3678 of the kings4428 that834 were with854 him in Babylon,894
33 And changed8138 853 his prison3608 garments:899 and he did continually8548 eat398 bread3899 before6440 him all3605 the days3117 of his life.2416
34 And for his diet,737 there was a continual8548 diet737 given5414 him of4480 854 the king4428 of Babylon,894 every day3117 3117 a portion1697 until5704 the day3117 of his death,4194 all3605 the days3117 of his life.2416
