Jer 1
1 The words 01697 of Jeremiah 03414 the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, of the priests 03548 that [were] in Anathoth 06068 in the land 0776 of Benjamin 01144:
2 To whom the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came in the days 03117 of Josiah 02977 the son 01121 of Amon 0526 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the thirteenth 07969 06240 year 08141 of his reign 04427 08800.
3 It came also in the days 03117 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, unto the end 08552 08800 of the eleventh 06249 06240 year 08141 of Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, unto the carrying away 01540 00 of Jerusalem 03389 captive 01540 08800 in the fifth 02549 month 02320.
4 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me, saying 0559 08800,
5 Before 02962 I formed 03335 08799 thee in the belly 0990 I knew 03045 08804 thee; and before thou camest forth 03318 08799 out of the womb 07358 I sanctified 06942 08689 thee, [and] I ordained 05414 08804 thee a prophet 05030 unto the nations 01471.
6 Then said 0559 08799 I, Ah 0162, Lord 0136 GOD 03069! behold, I cannot 03045 08804 speak 01696 08763: for I [am] a child 05288.
7 But the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, Say 0559 08799 not, I [am] a child 05288: for thou shalt go 03212 08799 to all that I shall send 07971 08799 thee, and whatsoever I command 06680 08762 thee thou shalt speak 01696 08762.
8 Be not afraid 03372 08799 of their faces 06440: for I [am] with thee to deliver 05337 08687 thee, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
9 Then the LORD 03068 put forth 07971 08799 his hand 03027, and touched 05060 08686 my mouth 06310. And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, Behold, I have put 05414 08804 my words 01697 in thy mouth 06310.
10 See 07200 08798, I have this day 03117 set 06485 08689 thee over the nations 01471 and over the kingdoms 04467, to root out 05428 08800, and to pull down 05422 08800, and to destroy 06 08687, and to throw down 02040 08800, to build 01129 08800, and to plant 05193 08800.
11 Moreover the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me, saying 0559 08800, Jeremiah 03414, what seest 07200 08802 thou? And I said 0559 08799, I see 07200 08802 a rod 04731 of an almond tree 08247.
12 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068 unto me, Thou hast well 03190 08689 seen 07200 08800: for I will hasten 08245 08802 my word 01697 to perform 06213 08800 it.
13 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me the second time 08145, saying 0559 08800, What seest 07200 08802 thou? And I said 0559 08799, I see 07200 08802 a seething 05301 08803 pot 05518; and the face 06440 thereof [is] toward 06440 the north 06828.
14 Then the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, Out of the north 06828 an evil 07451 shall break forth 06605 08735 upon all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the land 0776.
15 For, lo, I will call 07121 08802 all the families 04940 of the kingdoms 04467 of the north 06828, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and they shall come 0935 08804, and they shall set 05414 08804 every one 0376 his throne 03678 at the entering 06607 of the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389, and against all the walls 02346 thereof round about 05439, and against all the cities 05892 of Judah 03063.
16 And I will utter 01696 08765 my judgments 04941 against them touching 05921 all their wickedness 07451, who have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and have burned incense 06999 08762 unto other 0312 gods 0430, and worshipped 07812 08691 the works 04639 of their own hands 03027.
17 Thou therefore gird up 0247 08799 thy loins 04975, and arise 06965 08804, and speak 01696 08765 unto them all that I command 06680 08762 thee: be not dismayed 02865 08735 at their faces 06440, lest I confound 02865 08686 thee before 06440 them.
18 For, behold, I 0589 have made 05414 08804 thee this day 03117 a defenced 04013 city 05892, and an iron 01270 pillar 05982, and brasen 05178 walls 02346 against the whole land 0776, against the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, against the princes 08269 thereof, against the priests 03548 thereof, and against the people 05971 of the land 0776.
19 And they shall fight 03898 08738 against thee; but they shall not prevail 03201 08799 against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, to deliver 05337 08687 thee.
Jer 2
1 Moreover the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to me, saying 0559 08800,
2 Go 01980 08800 and cry 07121 08804 in the ears 0241 of Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; I remember 02142 08804 thee, the kindness 02617 of thy youth 05271, the love 0160 of thine espousals 03623, when thou wentest 03212 08800 after 0310 me in the wilderness 04057, in a land 0776 [that was] not sown 02232 08803.
3 Israel 03478 [was] holiness 06944 unto the LORD 03068, [and] the firstfruits 07225 of his increase 08393: all that devour 0398 08802 him shall offend 0816 08799; evil 07451 shall come 0935 08799 upon them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
4 Hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O house 01004 of Jacob 03290, and all the families 04940 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478:
5 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, What iniquity 05766 have your fathers 01 found 04672 08804 in me, that they are gone far 07368 08804 from me, and have walked 03212 08799 after 0310 vanity 01892, and are become vain 01891 08799?
6 Neither said 0559 08804 they, Where [is] the LORD 03068 that brought us up 05927 08688 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, that led 03212 08688 us through the wilderness 04057, through a land 0776 of deserts 06160 and of pits 07745, through a land 0776 of drought 06723, and of the shadow of death 06757, through a land 0776 that no man 0376 passed through 05674 08804, and where no man 0120 dwelt 03427 08804?
7 And I brought 0935 08686 you into a plentiful 03759 country 0776, to eat 0398 08800 the fruit 06529 thereof and the goodness 02898 thereof; but when ye entered 0935 08799, ye defiled 02930 08762 my land 0776, and made 07760 08804 mine heritage 05159 an abomination 08441.
8 The priests 03548 said 0559 08804 not, Where [is] the LORD 03068? and they that handle 08610 08802 the law 08451 knew 03045 08804 me not: the pastors 07462 08802 also transgressed 06586 08804 against me, and the prophets 05030 prophesied 05012 08738 by Baal 01168, and walked 01980 08804 after 0310 [things that] do not profit 03276 08686.
9 Wherefore I will yet plead 07378 08799 with you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and with your children's 01121 children 01121 will I plead 07378 08799.
10 For pass over 05674 08798 the isles 0339 of Chittim 03794, and see 07200 08798; and send 07971 08798 unto Kedar 06938, and consider 0995 08708 diligently 03966, and see 07200 08798 if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation 01471 changed 03235 08689 [their] gods 0430, which [are] yet no gods 0430? but my people 05971 have changed 04171 08689 their glory 03519 for [that which] doth not profit 03276 08686.
12 Be astonished 08074 08798, O ye heavens 08064, at this, and be horribly afraid 08175 08798, be ye very 03966 desolate 02717 08798, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
13 For my people 05971 have committed 06213 08804 two 08147 evils 07451; they have forsaken 05800 08804 me the fountain 04726 of living 02416 waters 04325, [and] hewed them out 02672 08800 cisterns 0877, broken 07665 08737 cisterns 0877, that can hold 03557 08686 no water 04325.
14 [Is] Israel 03478 a servant 05650? [is] he a homeborn 01004 03211 [slave]? why 04069 is he spoiled 0957?
15 The young lions 03715 roared 07580 08799 upon him, [and] yelled 05414 08804 06963, and they made 07896 08799 his land 0776 waste 08047: his cities 05892 are burned 03341 08738 without inhabitant 03427 08802.
16 Also the children 01121 of Noph 05297 and Tahapanes 08471 have broken 07462 08799 the crown of thy head 06936.
17 Hast thou not procured 06213 08799 this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken 05800 08800 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, when 06256 he led 03212 08688 thee by the way 01870?
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way 01870 of Egypt 04714, to drink 08354 08800 the waters 04325 of Sihor 07883? or what hast thou to do in the way 01870 of Assyria 0804, to drink 08354 08800 the waters 04325 of the river 05104?
19 Thine own wickedness 07451 shall correct 03256 08762 thee, and thy backslidings 04878 shall reprove 03198 08686 thee: know 03045 08798 therefore and see 07200 08798 that [it is] an evil 07451 [thing] and bitter 04751, that thou hast forsaken 05800 08800 the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and that my fear 06345 [is] not in thee, saith 05002 08803 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635.
20 For of old time 05769 I have broken 07665 08804 thy yoke 05923, [and] burst 05423 08765 thy bands 04147; and thou saidst 0559 08799, I will not transgress 05674 08799 08675 05647 08799; when upon every high 01364 hill 01389 and under every green 07488 tree 06086 thou wanderest 06808 08802, playing the harlot 02181 08802.
21 Yet I had planted 05193 08804 thee a noble vine 08321, wholly a right 0571 seed 02233: how then art thou turned 02015 08738 into the degenerate plant 05494 of a strange 05237 vine 01612 unto me?
22 For though thou wash 03526 08762 thee with nitre 05427, and take thee much 07235 08686 soap 01287, [yet] thine iniquity 05771 is marked 03799 08737 before 06440 me, saith 05002 08803 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069.
23 How canst thou say 0559 08799, I am not polluted 02930 08738, I have not gone 01980 08804 after 0310 Baalim 01168? see 07200 08798 thy way 01870 in the valley 01516, know 03045 08798 what thou hast done 06213 08804: [thou art] a swift 07031 dromedary 01072 traversing 08308 08764 her ways 01870;
24 A wild ass 06501 used 03928 to the wilderness 04057, [that] snuffeth up 07602 08804 the wind 07307 at her pleasure 0185 05315; in her occasion 08385 who can turn her away 07725 08686? all they that seek 01245 08764 her will not weary 03286 08799 themselves; in her month 02320 they shall find 04672 08799 her.
25 Withhold 04513 08798 thy foot 07272 from being unshod 03182, and thy throat 01627 from thirst 06773: but thou saidst 0559 08799, There is no hope 02976 08737: no; for I have loved 0157 08804 strangers 02114 08801, and after 0310 them will I go 03212 08799.
26 As the thief 01590 is ashamed 01322 when he is found 04672 08735, so is the house 01004 of Israel 03478 ashamed 03001 08689; they, their kings 04428, their princes 08269, and their priests 03548, and their prophets 05030,
27 Saying 0559 08802 to a stock 06086, Thou [art] my father 01; and to a stone 068, Thou hast brought me forth 03205 08804: for they have turned 06437 08804 [their] back 06203 unto me, and not [their] face 06440: but in the time 06256 of their trouble 07451 they will say 0559 08799, Arise 06965 08798, and save 03467 08685 us.
28 But where [are] thy gods 0430 that thou hast made 06213 08804 thee? let them arise 06965 08799, if they can save 03467 08686 thee in the time 06256 of thy trouble 07451: for [according to] the number 04557 of thy cities 05892 are thy gods 0430, O Judah 03063.
29 Wherefore will ye plead 07378 08799 with me? ye all have transgressed 06586 08804 against me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
30 In vain 07723 have I smitten 05221 08689 your children 01121; they received 03947 08804 no correction 04148: your own sword 02719 hath devoured 0398 08804 your prophets 05030, like a destroying 07843 08688 lion 0738.
31 O generation 01755, see 07200 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068. Have I been a wilderness 04057 unto Israel 03478? a land 0776 of darkness 03991? wherefore say 0559 08804 my people 05971, We are lords 07300 08804; we will come 0935 08799 no more unto thee?
32 Can a maid 01330 forget 07911 08799 her ornaments 05716, [or] a bride 03618 her attire 07196? yet my people 05971 have forgotten 07911 08804 me days 03117 without number 04557.
33 Why trimmest 03190 08686 thou thy way 01870 to seek 01245 08763 love 0160? therefore hast thou also taught 03925 08765 the wicked ones 07451 thy ways 01870.
34 Also in thy skirts 03671 is found 04672 08738 the blood 01818 of the souls 05315 of the poor 034 innocents 05355: I have not found 04672 08804 it by secret search 04290, but upon all these.
35 Yet thou sayest 0559 08799, Because I am innocent 05352 08738, surely his anger 0639 shall turn 07725 08804 from me. Behold, I will plead 08199 08737 with thee, because thou sayest 0559 08800, I have not sinned 02398 08804.
36 Why gaddest thou about 0235 08799 so much 03966 to change 08138 08763 thy way 01870? thou also shalt be ashamed 0954 08799 of Egypt 04714, as thou wast ashamed 0954 08804 of Assyria 0804.
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth 03318 08799 from him, and thine hands 03027 upon thine head 07218: for the LORD 03068 hath rejected 03988 08804 thy confidences 04009, and thou shalt not prosper 06743 08686 in them.
Jer 3
1 They say 0559 08800, If a man 0376 put away 07971 08762 his wife 0802, and she go 01980 08804 from him, and become another 0312 man's 0376, shall he return unto her again 07725 08799? shall not that land 0776 be greatly 02610 08800 polluted 02610 08799? but thou hast played the harlot 02181 08804 with many 07227 lovers 07453; yet return again 07725 08800 to me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
2 Lift up 05375 08798 thine eyes 05869 unto the high places 08205, and see 07200 08798 where 0375 thou hast not been lien 07693 08795 08676 07901 08795 with. In the ways 01870 hast thou sat 03427 08804 for them, as the Arabian 06163 in the wilderness 04057; and thou hast polluted 02610 08686 the land 0776 with thy whoredoms 02184 and with thy wickedness 07451.
3 Therefore the showers 07241 have been withholden 04513 08735, and there hath been no latter rain 04456; and thou hadst a whore's 02181 08802 0802 forehead 04696, thou refusedst 03985 08765 to be ashamed 03637 08736.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry 07121 08804 unto me, My father 01, thou [art] the guide 0441 of my youth 05271?
5 Will he reserve 05201 08799 [his anger] for ever 05769? will he keep 08104 08799 [it] to the end 05331? Behold, thou hast spoken 01696 08765 and done 06213 08799 evil things 07451 as thou couldest 03201 08799.
6 The LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 also unto me in the days 03117 of Josiah 02977 the king 04428, Hast thou seen 07200 08804 [that] which backsliding 04878 Israel 03478 hath done 06213 08804? she is gone up 01980 08802 upon every high 01364 mountain 02022 and under 08478 every green 07488 tree 06086, and there hath played the harlot 02181 08799.
7 And I said 0559 08799 after 0310 she had done 06213 08800 all these [things], Turn 07725 08799 thou unto me. But she returned 07725 08804 not. And her treacherous 0901 sister 0269 Judah 03063 saw 07200 08799 [it].
8 And I saw 07200 08799, when for all the causes 0182 whereby backsliding 04878 Israel 03478 committed adultery 05003 08765 I had put her away 07971 08765, and given 05414 08799 her a bill 05612 of divorce 03748; yet her treacherous 0898 08802 sister 0269 Judah 03063 feared 03372 08804 not, but went 03212 08799 and played the harlot 02181 08799 also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness 06963 of her whoredom 02184, that she defiled 02610 08799 the land 0776, and committed adultery 05003 08799 with stones 068 and with stocks 06086.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous 0901 sister 0269 Judah 03063 hath not turned 07725 08804 unto me with her whole heart 03820, but feignedly 08267, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
11 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, The backsliding 04878 Israel 03478 hath justified 06663 08765 herself 05315 more than treacherous 0898 08802 Judah 03063.
12 Go 01980 08800 and proclaim 07121 08804 these words 01697 toward the north 06828, and say 0559 08804, Return 07725 08798, thou backsliding 04878 Israel 03478, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; [and] I will not cause mine anger 06440 to fall 05307 08686 upon you: for I [am] merciful 02623, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, [and] I will not keep 05201 08799 [anger] for ever 05769.
13 Only acknowledge 03045 08798 thine iniquity 05771, that thou hast transgressed 06586 08804 against the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, and hast scattered 06340 08762 thy ways 01870 to the strangers 02114 08801 under every green 07488 tree 06086, and ye have not obeyed 08085 08804 my voice 06963, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
14 Turn 07725 08798, O backsliding 07726 children 01121, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; for I am married 01166 08804 unto you: and I will take 03947 08804 you one 0259 of a city 05892, and two 08147 of a family 04940, and I will bring 0935 08689 you to Zion 06726:
15 And I will give 05414 08804 you pastors 07462 08802 according to mine heart 03820, which shall feed 07462 08804 you with knowledge 01844 and understanding 07919 08687.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied 07235 08799 and increased 06509 08804 in the land 0776, in those days 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, they shall say 0559 08799 no more, The ark 0727 of the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068: neither shall it come 05927 08799 to mind 03820: neither shall they remember 02142 08799 it; neither shall they visit 06485 08799 [it]; neither shall [that] be done 06213 08735 any more.
17 At that time 06256 they shall call 07121 08799 Jerusalem 03389 the throne 03678 of the LORD 03068; and all the nations 01471 shall be gathered 06960 08738 unto it, to the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, to Jerusalem 03389: neither shall they walk 03212 08799 any more after 0310 the imagination 08307 of their evil 07451 heart 03820.
18 In those days 03117 the house 01004 of Judah 03063 shall walk 03212 08799 with the house 01004 of Israel 03478, and they shall come 0935 08799 together 03162 out of the land 0776 of the north 06828 to the land 0776 that I have given for an inheritance 05157 08689 unto your fathers 01.
19 But I said 0559 08804, How shall I put 07896 08799 thee among the children 01121, and give 05414 08799 thee a pleasant 02532 land 0776, a goodly 06643 heritage 05159 of the hosts 06635 of nations 01471? and I said 0559 08799, Thou shalt call 07121 08799 me, My father 01; and shalt not turn away 07725 08799 from me 0310.
20 Surely 0403 [as] a wife 0802 treacherously 0898 08804 departeth from her husband 07453, so have ye dealt treacherously 0898 08804 with me, O house 01004 of Israel 03478, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
21 A voice 06963 was heard 08085 08738 upon the high places 08205, weeping 01065 [and] supplications 08469 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478: for they have perverted 05753 08689 their way 01870, [and] they have forgotten 07911 08804 the LORD 03068 their God 0430.
22 Return 07725 08798, ye backsliding 07726 children 01121, [and] I will heal 07495 08799 your backslidings 04878. Behold, we come 0857 08804 unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
23 Truly 0403 in vain 08267 [is salvation hoped for] from the hills 01389, [and from] the multitude 01995 of mountains 02022: truly 0403 in the LORD 03068 our God 0430 [is] the salvation 08668 of Israel 03478.
24 For shame 01322 hath devoured 0398 08804 the labour 03018 of our fathers 01 from our youth 05271; their flocks 06629 and their herds 01241, their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323.
25 We lie down 07901 08799 in our shame 01322, and our confusion 03639 covereth 03680 08762 us: for we have sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068 our God 0430, we and our fathers 01, from our youth 05271 even unto this day 03117, and have not obeyed 08085 08804 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
Jer 4
1 If thou wilt return 07725 08799, O Israel 03478, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, return 07725 08799 unto me: and if thou wilt put away 05493 08686 thine abominations 08251 out of my sight 06440, then shalt thou not remove 05110 08799.
2 And thou shalt swear 07650 08738, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416, in truth 0571, in judgment 04941, and in righteousness 06666; and the nations 01471 shall bless 01288 08694 themselves in him, and in him shall they glory 01984 08691.
3 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 to the men 0376 of Judah 03063 and Jerusalem 03389, Break up 05214 08798 your fallow ground 05215, and sow 02232 08799 not among thorns 06975.
4 Circumcise 04135 08734 yourselves to the LORD 03068, and take away 05493 08685 the foreskins 06190 of your heart 03824, ye men 0376 of Judah 03063 and inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389: lest my fury 02534 come forth 03318 08799 like fire 0784, and burn 01197 08804 that none can quench 03518 08764 [it], because 06440 of the evil 07455 of your doings 04611.
5 Declare 05046 08685 ye in Judah 03063, and publish 08085 08685 in Jerusalem 03389; and say 0559 08798, Blow 08628 08798 ye the trumpet 07782 in the land 0776: cry 07121 08798, gather together 04390 08761, and say 0559 08798, Assemble 0622 08734 yourselves, and let us go 0935 08799 into the defenced 04013 cities 05892.
6 Set up 05375 08798 the standard 05251 toward Zion 06726: retire 05756 08685, stay 05975 08799 not: for I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 from the north 06828, and a great 01419 destruction 07667.
7 The lion 0738 is come up 05927 08804 from his thicket 05441, and the destroyer 07843 08688 of the Gentiles 01471 is on his way 05265 08804; he is gone forth 03318 08804 from his place 04725 to make 07760 08800 thy land 0776 desolate 08047; [and] thy cities 05892 shall be laid waste 05327 08799, without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
8 For this gird 02296 08798 you with sackcloth 08242, lament 05594 08798 and howl 03213 08685: for the fierce 02740 anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 is not turned back 07725 08804 from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, [that] the heart 03820 of the king 04428 shall perish 06 08799, and the heart 03820 of the princes 08269; and the priests 03548 shall be astonished 08074 08738, and the prophets 05030 shall wonder 08539 08799.
10 Then said 0559 08799 I, Ah 0162, Lord 0136 GOD 03069! surely 0403 thou hast greatly 05377 08687 deceived 05377 08689 this people 05971 and Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, Ye shall have peace 07965; whereas the sword 02719 reacheth 05060 08804 unto the soul 05315.
11 At that time 06256 shall it be said 0559 08735 to this people 05971 and to Jerusalem 03389, A dry 06703 wind 07307 of the high places 08205 in the wilderness 04057 toward 01870 the daughter 01323 of my people 05971, not to fan 02219 08800, nor to cleanse 01305 08687,
12 [Even] a full 04392 wind 07307 from those [places] shall come 0935 08799 unto me: now also will I give 01696 08762 sentence 04941 against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up 05927 08799 as clouds 06051, and his chariots 04818 [shall be] as a whirlwind 05492: his horses 05483 are swifter 07043 08804 than eagles 05404. Woe 0188 unto us! for we are spoiled 07703 08795.
14 O Jerusalem 03389, wash 03526 08761 thine heart 03820 from wickedness 07451, that thou mayest be saved 03467 08735. How long shall thy vain 0205 thoughts 04284 lodge 03885 08686 within 07130 thee?
15 For a voice 06963 declareth 05046 08688 from Dan 01835, and publisheth 08085 08688 affliction 0205 from mount 02022 Ephraim 0669.
16 Make ye mention 02142 08685 to the nations 01471; behold, publish 08085 08685 against Jerusalem 03389, [that] watchers 05341 08802 come 0935 08802 from a far 04801 country 0776, and give out 05414 08799 their voice 06963 against the cities 05892 of Judah 03063.
17 As keepers 08104 08802 of a field 07704, are they against her round about 05439; because she hath been rebellious 04784 08804 against me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
18 Thy way 01870 and thy doings 04611 have procured 06213 08804 these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness 07451, because it is bitter 04751, because it reacheth 05060 08804 unto thine heart 03820.
19 My bowels 04578, my bowels 04578! I am pained 02342 08799 08675 03176 08686 at my very 07023 heart 03820; my heart 03820 maketh a noise 01993 08802 in me; I cannot hold my peace 02790 08686, because thou hast heard 08085 08804, O my soul 05315, the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782, the alarm 08643 of war 04421.
20 Destruction 07667 upon destruction 07667 is cried 07121 08738; for the whole land 0776 is spoiled 07703 08795: suddenly 06597 are my tents 0168 spoiled 07703 08795, [and] my curtains 03407 in a moment 07281.
21 How long shall I see 07200 08799 the standard 05251, [and] hear 08085 08799 the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782?
22 For my people 05971 [is] foolish 0191, they have not known 03045 08804 me; they [are] sottish 05530 children 01121, and they have none understanding 0995 08737: they [are] wise 02450 to do evil 07489 08687, but to do good 03190 08687 they have no knowledge 03045 08804.
23 I beheld 07200 08804 the earth 0776, and, lo, [it was] without form 08414, and void 0922; and the heavens 08064, and they [had] no light 0216.
24 I beheld 07200 08804 the mountains 02022, and, lo, they trembled 07493 08801, and all the hills 01389 moved lightly 07043 08701.
25 I beheld 07200 08804, and, lo, [there was] no man 0120, and all the birds 05775 of the heavens 08064 were fled 05074 08804.
26 I beheld 07200 08804, and, lo, the fruitful place 03759 [was] a wilderness 04057, and all the cities 05892 thereof were broken down 05422 08738 at the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068, [and] by his fierce 02740 anger 0639.
27 For thus hath the LORD 03068 said 0559 08804, The whole land 0776 shall be desolate 08077; yet will I not make 06213 08799 a full end 03617.
28 For this shall the earth 0776 mourn 056 08799, and the heavens 08064 above 04605 be black 06937 08804: because I have spoken 01696 08765 [it], I have purposed 02161 08804 [it], and will not repent 05162 08738, neither will I turn back 07725 08799 from it.
29 The whole city 05892 shall flee 01272 08802 for the noise 06963 of the horsemen 06571 and bowmen 07198 07411 08802; they shall go 0935 08804 into thickets 05645, and climb up 05927 08804 upon the rocks 03710: every city 05892 [shall be] forsaken 05800 08803, and not a man 0376 dwell 03427 08802 therein 02004.
30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled 07703 08803, what wilt thou do 06213 08799? Though thou clothest 03847 08799 thyself with crimson 08144, though thou deckest 05710 08799 thee with ornaments 05716 of gold 02091, though thou rentest 07167 08799 thy face 05869 with painting 06320, in vain 07723 shalt thou make thyself fair 03302 08691; [thy] lovers 05689 08802 will despise 03988 08804 thee, they will seek 01245 08762 thy life 05315.
31 For I have heard 08085 08804 a voice 06963 as of a woman in travail 02470 08802, [and] the anguish 06869 as of her that bringeth forth her first child 01069 08688, the voice 06963 of the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726, [that] bewaileth 03306 08691 herself, [that] spreadeth 06566 08762 her hands 03709, [saying], Woe 0188 [is] me now! for my soul 05315 is wearied 05888 08804 because of murderers 02026 08802.
Jer 5
1 Run ye to and fro 07751 08786 through the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389, and see 07200 08798 now, and know 03045 08798, and seek 01245 08761 in the broad places 07339 thereof, if ye can find 04672 08799 a man 0376, if there be 03426 [any] that executeth 06213 08802 judgment 04941, that seeketh 01245 08764 the truth 0530; and I will pardon 05545 08799 it.
2 And though they say 0559 08799, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416; surely they swear 07650 08735 falsely 08267.
3 O LORD 03068, [are] not thine eyes 05869 upon the truth 0530? thou hast stricken 05221 08689 them, but they have not grieved 02342 08804; thou hast consumed 03615 08765 them, [but] they have refused 03985 08765 to receive 03947 08800 correction 04148: they have made their faces 06440 harder 02388 08765 than a rock 05553; they have refused 03985 08765 to return 07725 08800.
4 Therefore I said 0559 08804, Surely these [are] poor 01800; they are foolish 02973 08738: for they know 03045 08804 not the way 01870 of the LORD 03068, [nor] the judgment 04941 of their God 0430.
5 I will get 03212 08799 me unto the great men 01419, and will speak 01696 08762 unto them; for they have known 03045 08804 the way 01870 of the LORD 03068, [and] the judgment 04941 of their God 0430: but these have altogether 03162 broken 07665 08804 the yoke 05923, [and] burst 05423 08765 the bonds 04147.
6 Wherefore a lion 0738 out of the forest 03293 shall slay 05221 08689 them, [and] a wolf 02061 of the evenings 06160 shall spoil 07703 08799 them, a leopard 05246 shall watch 08245 08802 over their cities 05892: every one that goeth out 03318 08802 thence shall 02007 be torn in pieces 02963 08735: because their transgressions 06588 are many 07231 08804, [and] their backslidings 04878 are increased 06105 08804.
7 How 0335 shall I pardon 05545 08799 thee for this 02063? thy children 01121 have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and sworn 07650 08735 by [them that are] no 03808 gods 0430: when I had fed them to the full 07650 08686, they then committed adultery 05003 08799, and assembled themselves by troops 01413 08704 in the harlots' 02181 08802 houses 01004.
8 They were [as] fed 02109 08716 horses 05483 in the morning 07904 08688: every one 0376 neighed 06670 08799 after his neighbour's 07453 wife 0802.
9 Shall I not visit 06485 08799 for these [things]? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: and shall not my soul 05315 be avenged 05358 08691 on such a nation 01471 as this?
10 Go ye up 05927 08798 upon her walls 08284, and destroy 07843 08761; but make 06213 08799 not a full end 03617: take away 05493 08685 her battlements 05189; for they [are] not the LORD'S 03068.
11 For the house 01004 of Israel 03478 and the house 01004 of Judah 03063 have dealt very 0898 08800 treacherously 0898 08804 against me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
12 They have belied 03584 08765 the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799, [It is] not he; neither shall evil 07451 come 0935 08799 upon us; neither shall we see 07200 08799 sword 02719 nor famine 07458:
13 And the prophets 05030 shall become wind 07307, and the word 01696 08763 [is] not in them: thus shall it be done 06213 08735 unto them.
14 Wherefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635, Because ye speak 01696 08763 this word 01697, behold, I will make 05414 08802 my words 01697 in thy mouth 06310 fire 0784, and this people 05971 wood 06086, and it shall devour 0398 08804 them.
15 Lo, I will bring 0935 08688 a nation 01471 upon you from far 04801, O house 01004 of Israel 03478, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: it [is] a mighty 0386 nation 01471, it [is] an ancient 05769 nation 01471, a nation 01471 whose language 03956 thou knowest 03045 08799 not, neither understandest 08085 08799 what they say 01696 08762.
16 Their quiver 0827 [is] as an open 06605 08803 sepulchre 06913, they [are] all mighty men 01368.
17 And they shall eat up 0398 08804 thine harvest 07105, and thy bread 03899, [which] thy sons 01121 and thy daughters 01323 should eat 0398 08799: they shall eat up 0398 08799 thy flocks 06629 and thine herds 01241: they shall eat up 0398 08799 thy vines 01612 and thy fig trees 08384: they shall impoverish 07567 08779 thy fenced 04013 cities 05892, wherein thou 02007 trustedst 0982 08802, with the sword 02719.
18 Nevertheless in those days 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, I will not make 06213 08799 a full end 03617 with you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say 0559 08799, Wherefore 08478 04100 doeth 06213 08804 the LORD 03068 our God 0430 all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer 0559 08804 them, Like as ye have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and served 05647 08799 strange 05236 gods 0430 in your land 0776, so shall ye serve 05647 08799 strangers 02114 08801 in a land 0776 [that is] not yours.
20 Declare 05046 08685 this in the house 01004 of Jacob 03290, and publish 08085 08685 it in Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800,
21 Hear 08085 08798 now this, O foolish 05530 people 05971, and without understanding 03820; which have eyes 05869, and see 07200 08799 not; which have ears 0241, and hear 08085 08799 not:
22 Fear 03372 08799 ye not me? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: will ye not tremble 02342 08799 at my presence 06440, which have placed 07760 08804 the sand 02344 [for] the bound 01366 of the sea 03220 by a perpetual 05769 decree 02706, that it cannot pass 05674 08799 it: and though the waves 01530 thereof toss 01607 08691 themselves, yet can they not prevail 03201 08799; though they roar 01993 08804, yet can they not pass over 05674 08799 it?
23 But this people 05971 hath a revolting 05637 08802 and a rebellious 04784 08802 heart 03820; they are revolted 05493 08804 and gone 03212 08799.
24 Neither say 0559 08804 they in their heart 03824, Let us now fear 03372 08799 the LORD 03068 our God 0430, that giveth 05414 08802 rain 01653, both the former 03138 and the latter 04456, in his season 06256: he reserveth 08104 08799 unto us the appointed 02708 weeks 07620 of the harvest 07105.
25 Your iniquities 05771 have turned away 05186 08689 these [things], and your sins 02403 have withholden 04513 08804 good 02896 [things] from you.
26 For among my people 05971 are found 04672 08738 wicked 07563 [men]: they lay wait 07789 08799, as he that setteth 07918 08800 snares 03353; they set 05324 08689 a trap 04889, they catch 03920 08799 men 0582.
27 As a cage 03619 is full 04392 of birds 05775, so [are] their houses 01004 full 04392 of deceit 04820: therefore they are become great 01431 08804, and waxen rich 06238 08686.
28 They are waxen fat 08080 08804, they shine 06245 08804: yea, they overpass 05674 08804 the deeds 01697 of the wicked 07451: they judge 01777 08804 not the cause 01779, the cause of the fatherless 03490, yet they prosper 06743 08686; and the right 04941 of the needy 034 do they not judge 08199 08804.
29 Shall I not visit 06485 08799 for these [things]? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: shall not my soul 05315 be avenged 05358 08691 on such a nation 01471 as this?
30 A wonderful 08047 and horrible thing 08186 is committed 01961 08738 in the land 0776;
31 The prophets 05030 prophesy 05012 08738 falsely 08267, and the priests 03548 bear rule 07287 08799 by their means 03027; and my people 05971 love 0157 08804 [to have it] so: and what will ye do 06213 08799 in the end 0319 thereof?
Jer 6
1 O ye children 01121 of Benjamin 01144, gather yourselves to flee 05756 08685 out of the midst 07130 of Jerusalem 03389, and blow 08628 08798 the trumpet 07782 in Tekoa 08620, and set up 05375 08798 a sign 04864 of fire in Bethhaccerem 01021: for evil 07451 appeareth 08259 08738 out of the north 06828, and great 01419 destruction 07667.
2 I have likened 01820 08804 the daughter 01323 of Zion 06726 to a comely 05116 and delicate 06026 08794 [woman].
3 The shepherds 07462 08802 with their flocks 05739 shall come 0935 08799 unto her; they shall pitch 08628 08804 [their] tents 0168 against her round about 05439; they shall feed 07462 08804 every one 0376 in his place 03027.
4 Prepare 06942 08761 ye war 04421 against her; arise 06965 08798, and let us go up 05927 08799 at noon 06672. Woe 0188 unto us! for the day 03117 goeth away 06437 08804, for the shadows 06752 of the evening 06153 are stretched out 05186 08735.
5 Arise 06965 08798, and let us go 05927 08799 by night 03915, and let us destroy 07843 08686 her palaces 0759.
6 For thus hath the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 said 0559 08804, Hew ye down 03772 08798 trees 06097, and cast 08210 08798 a mount 05550 against Jerusalem 03389: this [is] the city 05892 to be visited 06485 08717; she [is] wholly oppression 06233 in the midst 07130 of her.
7 As a fountain 0953 casteth out 06979 08687 her waters 04325, so she casteth out 06979 08689 her wickedness 07451: violence 02555 and spoil 07701 is heard 08085 08735 in her; before me 06440 continually 08548 [is] grief 02483 and wounds 04347.
8 Be thou instructed 03256 08734, O Jerusalem 03389, lest my soul 05315 depart 03363 08799 from thee; lest I make 07760 08799 thee desolate 08077, a land 0776 not inhabited 03427 08738.
9 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, They shall throughly 05953 08780 glean 05953 08779 the remnant 07611 of Israel 03478 as a vine 01612: turn back 07725 08685 thine hand 03027 as a grapegatherer 01219 08802 into the baskets 05552.
10 To whom shall I speak 01696 08762, and give warning 05749 08686, that they may hear 08085 08799? behold, their ear 0241 [is] uncircumcised 06189, and they cannot 03201 08799 hearken 07181 08687: behold, the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 is unto them a reproach 02781; they have no delight 02654 08799 in it.
11 Therefore I am full 04392 of the fury 02534 of the LORD 03068; I am weary 03811 08738 with holding in 03557 08687: I will pour it out 08210 08800 upon the children 05768 abroad 02351, and upon the assembly 05475 of young men 0970 together 03162: for even the husband 0376 with the wife 0802 shall be taken 03920 08735, the aged 02205 with [him that is] full 04390 08804 of days 03117.
12 And their houses 01004 shall be turned 05437 08738 unto others 0312, [with their] fields 07704 and wives 0802 together 03162: for I will stretch out 05186 08686 my hand 03027 upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the land 0776, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
13 For from the least 06996 of them even unto the greatest 01419 of them every one [is] given 01214 08802 to covetousness 01215; and from the prophet 05030 even unto the priest 03548 every one dealeth 06213 08802 falsely 08267.
14 They have healed 07495 08762 also the hurt 07667 [of the daughter 01323 08676] of my people 05971 slightly 07043 08738, saying 0559 08800, Peace 07965, peace 07965; when [there is] no peace 07965.
15 Were they ashamed 03001 08689 when they had committed 06213 08804 abomination 08441? nay 01571, they were not at all 0954 08800 ashamed 0954 08799, neither 01571 could 03045 08804 they blush 03637 08687: therefore they shall fall 05307 08799 among them that fall 05307 08802: at the time 06256 [that] I visit 06485 08804 them they shall be cast down 03782 08735, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068.
16 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Stand 05975 08798 ye in the ways 01870, and see 07200 08799, and ask 07592 08798 for the old 05769 paths 05410, where [is] the good 02896 way 01870, and walk 03212 08799 therein, and ye shall find 04672 08798 rest 04771 for your souls 05315. But they said 0559 08799, We will not walk 03212 08798 [therein].
17 Also I set 06965 08689 watchmen 06822 08802 over you, [saying], Hearken 07181 08685 to the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782. But they said 0559 08799, We will not hearken 07181 08686.
18 Therefore hear 08085 08798, ye nations 01471, and know 03045 08798, O congregation 05712, what [is] among them.
19 Hear 08085 08798, O earth 0776: behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon this people 05971, [even] the fruit 06529 of their thoughts 04284, because they have not hearkened 07181 08689 unto my words 01697, nor to my law 08451, but rejected 03988 08799 it.
20 To what purpose cometh 0935 08799 there to me incense 03828 from Sheba 07614, and the sweet 02896 cane 07070 from a far 04801 country 0776? your burnt offerings 05930 [are] not acceptable 07522, nor your sacrifices 02077 sweet 06149 08804 unto me.
21 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will lay 05414 08802 stumblingblocks 04383 before this people 05971, and the fathers 01 and the sons 01121 together 03162 shall fall 03782 08804 upon them; the neighbour 07934 and his friend 07453 shall perish 06 08804.
22 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, a people 05971 cometh 0935 08802 from the north 06828 country 0776, and a great 01419 nation 01471 shall be raised 05782 08735 from the sides 03411 of the earth 0776.
23 They shall lay hold 02388 08686 on bow 07198 and spear 03591; they [are] cruel 0394, and have no mercy 07355 08762; their voice 06963 roareth 01993 08799 like the sea 03220; and they ride 07392 08799 upon horses 05483, set in array 06186 08803 as men 0376 for war 04421 against thee, O daughter 01323 of Zion 06726.
24 We have heard 08085 08804 the fame 08089 thereof: our hands 03027 wax feeble 07503 08804: anguish 06869 hath taken hold 02388 08689 of us, [and] pain 02427, as of a woman in travail 03205 08802.
25 Go not forth 03318 08799 into the field 07704, nor walk 03212 08799 by the way 01870; for the sword 02719 of the enemy 0341 08802 [and] fear 04032 [is] on every side 05439.
26 O daughter 01323 of my people 05971, gird 02296 08798 [thee] with sackcloth 08242, and wallow 06428 08690 thyself in ashes 0665: make 06213 08798 thee mourning 060, [as for] an only son 03173, most bitter 08563 lamentation 04553: for the spoiler 07703 08802 shall suddenly 06597 come 0935 08799 upon us.
27 I have set 05414 08804 thee [for] a tower 0969 [and] a fortress 04013 among my people 05971, that thou mayest know 03045 08799 and try 0974 08804 their way 01870.
28 They [are] all grievous 05493 08802 revolters 05637 08802, walking 01980 08802 with slanders 07400: [they are] brass 05178 and iron 01270; they [are] all corrupters 07843 08688.
29 The bellows 04647 are burned 02787 08738, the lead 05777 is consumed 08552 08804 of the fire 0800 0784; the founder 06884 08800 melteth 06884 08804 in vain 07723: for the wicked 07451 are not plucked away 05423 08738.
30 Reprobate 03988 08737 silver 03701 shall [men] call 07121 08804 them, because the LORD 03068 hath rejected 03988 08804 them.
Jer 7
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Stand 05975 08798 in the gate 08179 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, and proclaim 07121 08804 there this word 01697, and say 0559 08804, Hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, all [ye of] Judah 03063, that enter in 0935 08802 at these gates 08179 to worship 07812 08692 the LORD 03068.
3 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, Amend 03190 08685 your ways 01870 and your doings 04611, and I will cause you to dwell 07931 08762 in this place 04725.
4 Trust 0982 08799 ye not in lying 08267 words 01697, saying 0559 08800, The temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, The temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, The temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, [are] these.
5 For if ye throughly 03190 08687 amend 03190 08686 your ways 01870 and your doings 04611; if ye throughly 06213 08800 execute 06213 08799 judgment 04941 between a man 0376 and his neighbour 07453;
6 [If] ye oppress 06231 08799 not the stranger 01616, the fatherless 03490, and the widow 0490, and shed 08210 08799 not innocent 05355 blood 01818 in this place 04725, neither walk 03212 08799 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430 to your hurt 07451:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell 07931 08765 in this place 04725, in the land 0776 that I gave 05414 08804 to your fathers 01, for 05704 ever 05769 and ever 05769.
8 Behold, ye trust 0982 08802 in lying 08267 words 01697, that cannot profit 03276 08687.
9 Will ye steal 01589 08800, murder 07523 08800, and commit adultery 05003 08800, and swear 07650 08736 falsely 08267, and burn incense 06999 08763 unto Baal 01168, and walk 01980 08800 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430 whom ye know 03045 08804 not;
10 And come 0935 08804 and stand 05975 08804 before 06440 me in this house 01004, which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, and say 0559 08804, We are delivered 05337 08738 to do 06213 08800 all these abominations 08441?
11 Is this house 01004, which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, become a den 04631 of robbers 06530 in your eyes 05869? Behold, even I have seen 07200 08804 [it], saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
12 But go 03212 08798 ye now unto my place 04725 which [was] in Shiloh 07887, where I set 07931 08765 my name 08034 at the first 07223, and see 07200 08798 what I did 06213 08804 to it for 06440 the wickedness 07451 of my people 05971 Israel 03478.
13 And now, because ye have done 06213 08800 all these works 04639, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and I spake 01696 08762 unto you, rising up early 07925 08687 and speaking 01696 08763, but ye heard 08085 08804 not; and I called 07121 08799 you, but ye answered 06030 08804 not;
14 Therefore will I do 06213 08804 unto [this] house 01004, which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, wherein ye trust 0982 08802, and unto the place 04725 which I gave 05414 08804 to you and to your fathers 01, as I have done 06213 08804 to Shiloh 07887.
15 And I will cast you out 07993 08689 of my sight 06440, as I have cast out 07993 08689 all your brethren 0251, [even] the whole seed 02233 of Ephraim 0669.
16 Therefore pray 06419 08691 not thou for this people 05971, neither lift up 05375 08799 cry 07440 nor prayer 08605 for them 01157, neither make intercession 06293 08799 to me: for I will not hear 08085 08802 thee.
17 Seest 07200 08802 thou not what they do 06213 08802 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389?
18 The children 01121 gather 03950 08764 wood 06086, and the fathers 01 kindle 01197 08764 the fire 0784, and the women 0802 knead 03888 08802 [their] dough 01217, to make 06213 08800 cakes 03561 to the queen 04446 of heaven 08064, and to pour out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto other 0312 gods 0430, that they may provoke me to anger 03707 08687.
19 Do they provoke me to anger 03707 08688? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion 01322 of their own faces 06440?
20 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069; Behold, mine anger 0639 and my fury 02534 shall be poured out 05413 08737 upon this place 04725, upon man 0120, and upon beast 0929, and upon the trees 06086 of the field 07704, and upon the fruit 06529 of the ground 0127; and it shall burn 01197 08804, and shall not be quenched 03518 08799.
21 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Put 05595 08798 your burnt offerings 05930 unto your sacrifices 02077, and eat 0398 08798 flesh 01320.
22 For I spake 01696 08765 not unto your fathers 01, nor commanded 06680 08765 them in the day 03117 that I brought them out 03318 08687 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, concerning 01697 burnt offerings 05930 or sacrifices 02077:
23 But this thing 01697 commanded 06680 08765 I them, saying 0559 08800, Obey 08085 08798 my voice 06963, and I will be your God 0430, and ye shall be my people 05971: and walk 01980 08804 ye in all the ways 01870 that I have commanded 06680 08762 you, that it may be well 03190 08799 unto you.
24 But they hearkened 08085 08804 not, nor inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241, but walked 03212 08799 in the counsels 04156 [and] in the imagination 08307 of their evil 07451 heart 03820, and went backward 0268, and not forward 06440.
25 Since the day 03117 that your fathers 01 came forth out 03318 08804 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 unto this day 03117 I have even sent 07971 08799 unto you all my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, daily 03117 rising up early 07925 08687 and sending 07971 08800 [them]:
26 Yet they hearkened 08085 08804 not unto me, nor inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241, but hardened 07185 08686 their neck 06203: they did worse 07489 08689 than their fathers 01.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak 01696 08765 all these words 01697 unto them; but they will not hearken 08085 08799 to thee: thou shalt also call 07121 08804 unto them; but they will not answer 06030 08799 thee.
28 But thou shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, This [is] a nation 01471 that obeyeth 08085 08804 not the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, nor receiveth 03947 08804 correction 04148: truth 0530 is perished 06 08804, and is cut off 03772 08738 from their mouth 06310.
29 Cut off 01494 08798 thine hair 05145, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away 07993 08685, and take up 05375 08798 a lamentation 07015 on high places 08205; for the LORD 03068 hath rejected 03988 08804 and forsaken 05203 08799 the generation 01755 of his wrath 05678.
30 For the children 01121 of Judah 03063 have done 06213 08804 evil 07451 in my sight 05869, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: they have set 07760 08804 their abominations 08251 in the house 01004 which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, to pollute 02930 08763 it.
31 And they have built 01129 08804 the high places 01116 of Tophet 08612, which [is] in the valley 01516 of the son 01121 of Hinnom 02011, to burn 08313 08800 their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323 in the fire 0784; which I commanded 06680 08765 [them] not, neither came 05927 08804 it into my heart 03820.
32 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that it shall no more be called 0559 08735 Tophet 08612, nor the valley 01516 of the son 01121 of Hinnom 02011, but the valley 01516 of slaughter 02028: for they shall bury 06912 08804 in Tophet 08612, till there be no 0369 place 04725.
33 And the carcases 05038 of this people 05971 shall be meat 03978 for the fowls 05775 of the heaven 08064, and for the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776; and none shall fray [them] away 02729 08688.
34 Then will I cause to cease 07673 08689 from the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and from the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389, the voice 06963 of mirth 08342, and the voice 06963 of gladness 08057, the voice 06963 of the bridegroom 02860, and the voice 06963 of the bride 03618: for the land 0776 shall be desolate 02723.
Jer 8
1 At that time 06256, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, they shall bring out 03318 08686 the bones 06106 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, and the bones 06106 of his princes 08269, and the bones 06106 of the priests 03548, and the bones 06106 of the prophets 05030, and the bones 06106 of the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, out of their graves 06913:
2 And they shall spread 07849 08804 them before the sun 08121, and the moon 03394, and all the host 06635 of heaven 08064, whom they have loved 0157 08804, and whom they have served 05647 08804, and after 0310 whom they have walked 01980 08804, and whom they have sought 01875 08804, and whom they have worshipped 07812 08694: they shall not be gathered 0622 08735, nor be buried 06912 08735; they shall be for dung 01828 upon the face 06440 of the earth 0127.
3 And death 04194 shall be chosen 0977 08738 rather than life 02416 by all the residue 07611 of them that remain 07604 08737 of this evil 07451 family 04940, which remain 07604 08737 in all the places 04725 whither I have driven 05080 08689 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
4 Moreover thou shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Shall they fall 05307 08799, and not arise 06965 08799? shall he turn away 07725 08799, and not return 07725 08799?
5 Why [then] is this people 05971 of Jerusalem 03389 slidden back 07725 08790 by a perpetual 05329 08737 backsliding 04878? they hold 02388 08689 fast deceit 08649, they refuse 03985 08765 to return 07725 08800.
6 I hearkened 07181 08689 and heard 08085 08799, [but] they spake not aright 01696 08762: no man 0376 repented 05162 08737 him of 05921 his wickedness 07451, saying 0559 08800, What have I done 06213 08804? every one turned 07725 08804 to his course 04794, as the horse 05483 rusheth 07857 08802 into the battle 04421.
7 Yea, the stork 02624 in the heaven 08064 knoweth 03045 08804 her appointed times 04150; and the turtle 08449 and the crane 05483 and the swallow 05693 observe 08104 08804 the time 06256 of their coming 0935 08800; but my people 05971 know 03045 08804 not the judgment 04941 of the LORD 03068.
8 How do ye say 0559 08799, We [are] wise 02450, and the law 08451 of the LORD 03068 [is] with us? Lo, certainly 0403 in vain 08267 made 06213 08804 he [it]; the pen 05842 of the scribes 05608 08802 [is] in vain 08267.
9 The wise 02450 [men] are ashamed 03001 08689, they are dismayed 02865 08804 and taken 03920 08735: lo, they have rejected 03988 08804 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068; and what wisdom 02451 [is] in them?
10 Therefore will I give 05414 08799 their wives 0802 unto others 0312, [and] their fields 07704 to them that shall inherit 03423 08802 [them]: for every one from the least 06996 even unto the greatest 01419 is given 01214 08802 to covetousness 01215, from the prophet 05030 even unto the priest 03548 every one dealeth 06213 08802 falsely 08267.
11 For they have healed 07495 08762 the hurt 07667 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 slightly 07043 08738, saying 0559 08800, Peace 07965, peace 07965; when [there is] no peace 07965.
12 Were they ashamed 03001 08689 when they had committed 06213 08804 abomination 08441? nay, they were not at all 0954 08800 ashamed 0954 08799, neither could 03045 08804 they blush 03637 08736: therefore shall they fall 05307 08799 among them that fall 05307 08802: in the time 06256 of their visitation 06486 they shall be cast down 03782 08735, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068.
13 I will surely 0622 08800 consume 05486 08686 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: [there shall be] no grapes 06025 on the vine 01612, nor figs 08384 on the fig tree 08384, and the leaf 05929 shall fade 05034 08804; and [the things that] I have given 05414 08799 them shall pass away 05674 08799 from them.
14 Why do we sit still 03427 08802? assemble 0622 08734 yourselves, and let us enter 0935 08799 into the defenced 04013 cities 05892, and let us be silent 01826 08735 there: for the LORD 03068 our God 0430 hath put us to silence 01826 08689, and given us water 04325 of gall 07219 to drink 08248 08686, because we have sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068.
15 We looked 06960 08763 for peace 07965, but no good 02896 [came; and] for a time 06256 of health 04832, and behold trouble 01205!
16 The snorting 05170 of his horses 05483 was heard 08085 08738 from Dan 01835: the whole land 0776 trembled 07493 08804 at the sound 06963 of the neighing 04684 of his strong ones 047; for they are come 0935 08799, and have devoured 0398 08799 the land 0776, and all 04393 that is in it; the city 05892, and those that dwell 03427 08802 therein.
17 For, behold, I will send 07971 08764 serpents 05175, cockatrices 06848, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed 03908, and they shall bite 05391 08765 you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
18 [When] I would comfort 04010 myself against sorrow 03015, my heart 03820 [is] faint 01742 in me.
19 Behold the voice 06963 of the cry 07775 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 because of them that dwell in a far 04801 country 0776: [Is] not the LORD 03068 in Zion 06726? [is] not her king 04428 in her? Why have they provoked me to anger 03707 08689 with their graven images 06456, [and] with strange 05236 vanities 01892?
20 The harvest 07105 is past 05674 08804, the summer 07019 is ended 03615 08804, and we are not saved 03467 08738.
21 For the hurt 07667 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 am I hurt 07665 08717; I am black 06937 08804; astonishment 08047 hath taken hold 02388 08689 on me.
22 [Is there] no balm 06875 in Gilead 01568; [is there] no physician 07495 08802 there? why then 03588 is not the health 0724 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971 recovered 05927 08804?
Jer 9
1 Oh that 05414 08799 my head 07218 were waters 04325, and mine eyes 05869 a fountain 04726 of tears 01832, that I might weep 01058 08799 day 03119 and night 03915 for the slain 02491 of the daughter 01323 of my people 05971!
2 Oh that 05414 08799 I had in the wilderness 04057 a lodging place 04411 of wayfaring men 0732 08802; that I might leave 05800 08799 my people 05971, and go 03212 08799 from them! for they [be] all adulterers 05003 08764, an assembly 06116 of treacherous men 0898 08802.
3 And they bend 01869 08686 their tongues 03956 [like] their bow 07198 [for] lies 08267: but they are not valiant 01396 08804 for the truth 0530 upon the earth 0776; for they proceed 03318 08804 from evil 07451 to evil 07451, and they know 03045 08804 not me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
4 Take ye heed 08104 08734 every one 0376 of his neighbour 07453, and trust 0982 08799 ye not in any brother 0251: for every brother 0251 will utterly 06117 08800 supplant 06117 08799, and every neighbour 07453 will walk 01980 08799 with slanders 07400.
5 And they will deceive 02048 08762 every one 0376 his neighbour 07453, and will not speak 01696 08762 the truth 0571: they have taught 03925 08765 their tongue 03956 to speak 01696 08763 lies 08267, [and] weary 03811 08738 themselves to commit iniquity 05753 08687.
6 Thine habitation 03427 08800 [is] in the midst 08432 of deceit 04820; through deceit 04820 they refuse 03985 08765 to know 03045 08800 me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
7 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Behold, I will melt 06884 08802 them, and try 0974 08804 them; for how shall I do 06213 08799 for 06440 the daughter 01323 of my people 05971?
8 Their tongue 03956 [is as] an arrow 02671 shot out 07819 08803; it speaketh 01696 08765 deceit 04820: [one] speaketh 01696 08762 peaceably 07965 to his neighbour 07453 with his mouth 06310, but in heart 07130 he layeth 07760 08799 his wait 0696.
9 Shall I not visit 06485 08799 them for these [things]? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: shall not my soul 05315 be avenged 05358 08691 on such a nation 01471 as this?
10 For the mountains 02022 will I take up 05375 08799 a weeping 01065 and wailing 05092, and for the habitations 04999 of the wilderness 04057 a lamentation 07015, because they are burned up 03341 08738, so that none 0376 can pass 05674 08802 through [them]; neither can [men] hear 08085 08804 the voice 06963 of the cattle 04735; both the fowl 05775 of the heavens 08064 and the beast 0929 are fled 05074 08804; they are gone 01980 08804.
11 And I will make 05414 08804 Jerusalem 03389 heaps 01530, [and] a den 04583 of dragons 08577; and I will make 05414 08799 the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 desolate 08077, without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
12 Who [is] the wise 02450 man 0376, that may understand 0995 08799 this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765, that he may declare 05046 08686 it, for what the land 0776 perisheth 06 08804 [and] is burned up 03341 08738 like a wilderness 04057, that none passeth through 05674 08802?
13 And the LORD 03068 saith 0559 08799, Because they have forsaken 05800 08800 my law 08451 which I set 05414 08804 before 06440 them, and have not obeyed 08085 08804 my voice 06963, neither walked 01980 08804 therein;
14 But have walked 03212 08799 after 0310 the imagination 08307 of their own heart 03820, and after 0310 Baalim 01168, which their fathers 01 taught 03925 08765 them:
15 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will feed 0398 08688 them, [even] this people 05971, with wormwood 03939, and give them water 04325 of gall 07219 to drink 08248 08689.
16 I will scatter 06327 08689 them also among the heathen 01471, whom neither they nor their fathers 01 have known 03045 08804: and I will send 07971 08765 a sword 02719 after 0310 them, till I have consumed 03615 08763 them.
17 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Consider 0995 08708 ye, and call 07121 08798 for the mourning women 06969 08789, that they may come 0935 08799; and send 07971 08798 for cunning 02450 [women], that they may come 0935 08799:
18 And let them make haste 04116 08762, and take up 05375 08799 a wailing 05092 for us, that our eyes 05869 may run down 03381 08799 with tears 01832, and our eyelids 06079 gush out 05140 08799 with waters 04325.
19 For a voice 06963 of wailing 05092 is heard 08085 08738 out of Zion 06726, How are we spoiled 07703 08795! we are greatly 03966 confounded 0954 08804, because we have forsaken 05800 08804 the land 0776, because our dwellings 04908 have cast [us] out 07993 08689.
20 Yet hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O ye women 0802, and let your ear 0241 receive 03947 08799 the word 01697 of his mouth 06310, and teach 03925 08761 your daughters 01323 wailing 05092, and every one 0802 her neighbour 07468 lamentation 07015.
21 For death 04194 is come up 05927 08804 into our windows 02474, [and] is entered 0935 08804 into our palaces 0759, to cut off 03772 08687 the children 05768 from without 02351, [and] the young men 0970 from the streets 07339.
22 Speak 01696 08761, Thus saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, Even the carcases 05038 of men 0120 shall fall 05307 08804 as dung 01828 upon the open 06440 field 07704, and as the handful 05995 after 0310 the harvestman 07114 08802, and none shall gather 0622 08764 [them].
23 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Let not the wise 02450 [man] glory 01984 08691 in his wisdom 02451, neither let the mighty 01368 [man] glory 01984 08691 in his might 01369, let not the rich 06223 [man] glory 01984 08691 in his riches 06239:
24 But let him that glorieth 01984 08693 glory 01984 08691 in this, that he understandeth 07919 08687 and knoweth 03045 08800 me, that I [am] the LORD 03068 which exercise 06213 08802 lovingkindness 02617, judgment 04941, and righteousness 06666, in the earth 0776: for in these [things] I delight 02654 08804, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
25 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will punish 06485 08804 all [them which are] circumcised 04135 08803 with the uncircumcised 06190;
26 Egypt 04714, and Judah 03063, and Edom 0123, and the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, and Moab 04124, and all [that are] in the utmost 07112 08803 corners 06285, that dwell 03427 08802 in the wilderness 04057: for all [these] nations 01471 [are] uncircumcised 06189, and all the house 01004 of Israel 03478 [are] uncircumcised 06189 in the heart 03820.
Jer 10
1 Hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 which the LORD 03068 speaketh 01696 08765 unto you, O house 01004 of Israel 03478:
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Learn 03925 08799 not the way 01870 of the heathen 01471, and be not dismayed 02865 08735 at the signs 0226 of heaven 08064; for the heathen 01471 are dismayed 02865 08735 at them 01992.
3 For the customs 02708 of the people 05971 [are] vain 01892: for [one] cutteth 03772 08804 a tree 06086 out of the forest 03293, the work 04639 of the hands 03027 of the workman 02796, with the axe 04621.
4 They deck 03302 08762 it with silver 03701 and with gold 02091; they fasten 02388 08762 it with nails 04548 and with hammers 04717, that it move 06328 08686 not.
5 They [are] upright 04749 as the palm tree 08560, but speak 01696 08762 not: they must needs 05375 08800 be borne 05375 08735, because they cannot go 06805 08799. Be not afraid 03372 08799 of them; for they cannot do evil 07489 08686, neither also [is it] in them to do good 03190 08687.
6 Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD 03068; thou [art] great 01419, and thy name 08034 [is] great 01419 in might 01369.
7 Who would not fear 03372 08799 thee, O King 04428 of nations 01471? for to thee doth it appertain 02969 08804: forasmuch as among all the wise 02450 [men] of the nations 01471, and in all their kingdoms 04438, [there is] none like unto thee.
8 But they are altogether 0259 brutish 01197 08799 and foolish 03688 08799: the stock 06086 [is] a doctrine 04148 of vanities 01892.
9 Silver 03701 spread into plates 07554 08794 is brought 0935 08714 from Tarshish 08659, and gold 02091 from Uphaz 0210, the work 04639 of the workman 02796, and of the hands 03027 of the founder 06884 08802: blue 08504 and purple 0713 [is] their clothing 03830: they [are] all the work 04639 of cunning 02450 [men].
10 But the LORD 03068 [is] the true 0571 God 0430, he [is] the living 02416 God 0430, and an everlasting 05769 king 04428: at his wrath 07110 the earth 0776 shall tremble 07493 08799, and the nations 01471 shall not be able to abide 03557 08686 his indignation 02195.
11 Thus 01836 shall ye say 0560 08748 unto them, The gods 0426 that have not 03809 made 05648 08754 the heavens 08065 and the earth 0778, [even] they shall perish 07 08748 from the earth 0772, and from under 08460 these 0429 heavens 08065.
12 He hath made 06213 08802 the earth 0776 by his power 03581, he hath established 03559 08688 the world 08398 by his wisdom 02451, and hath stretched out 05186 08804 the heavens 08064 by his discretion 08394.
13 When he uttereth 05414 08800 his voice 06963, [there is] a multitude 01995 of waters 04325 in the heavens 08064, and he causeth the vapours 05387 to ascend 05927 08686 from the ends 07097 of the earth 0776; he maketh 06213 08804 lightnings 01300 with rain 04306, and bringeth forth 03318 08686 the wind 07307 out of his treasures 0214.
14 Every man 0120 is brutish 01197 08738 in [his] knowledge 01847: every founder 06884 08802 is confounded 03001 08689 by the graven image 06459: for his molten image 05262 [is] falsehood 08267, and [there is] no breath 07307 in them.
15 They [are] vanity 01892, [and] the work 04639 of errors 08595: in the time 06256 of their visitation 06486 they shall perish 06 08799.
16 The portion 02506 of Jacob 03290 [is] not like them: for he [is] the former 03335 08802 of all [things]; and Israel 03478 [is] the rod 07626 of his inheritance 05159: The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 [is] his name 08034.
17 Gather up 0622 08798 thy wares 03666 out of the land 0776, O inhabitant 03427 08802 of the fortress 04692.
18 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will sling 07049 08802 out the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the land 0776 at this once 06471, and will distress 06887 08689 them, that they may find 04672 08799 [it so].
19 Woe 0188 is me for my hurt 07667! my wound 04347 is grievous 02470 08737: but I said 0559 08804, Truly 0389 this [is] a grief 02483, and I must bear 05375 08799 it.
20 My tabernacle 0168 is spoiled 07703 08795, and all my cords 04340 are broken 05423 08738: my children 01121 are gone forth 03318 08804 of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth 05186 08802 my tent 0168 any more, and to set up 06965 08688 my curtains 03407.
21 For the pastors 07462 08802 are become brutish 01197 08738, and have not sought 01875 08804 the LORD 03068: therefore they shall not prosper 07919 08689, and all their flocks 04830 shall be scattered 06327 08738.
22 Behold, the noise 06963 of the bruit 08052 is come 0935 08802, and a great 01419 commotion 07494 out of the north 06828 country 0776, to make 07760 08800 the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 desolate 08077, [and] a den 04583 of dragons 08577.
23 O LORD 03068, I know 03045 08804 that the way 01870 of man 0120 [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man 0376 that walketh 01980 08802 to direct 03559 08687 his steps 06806.
24 O LORD 03068, correct 03256 08761 me, but with judgment 04941; not in thine anger 0639, lest thou bring me to nothing 04591 08686.
25 Pour out 08210 08798 thy fury 02534 upon the heathen 01471 that know 03045 08804 thee not, and upon the families 04940 that call 07121 08804 not on thy name 08034: for they have eaten up 0398 08804 Jacob 03290, and devoured 0398 08804 him, and consumed 03615 08762 him, and have made his habitation 05116 desolate 08074 08689.
Jer 11
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Hear 08085 08798 ye the words 01697 of this covenant 01285, and speak 01696 08765 unto the men 0376 of Judah 03063, and to the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389;
3 And say 0559 08804 thou unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478; Cursed 0779 08803 [be] the man 0376 that obeyeth 08085 08799 not the words 01697 of this covenant 01285,
4 Which I commanded 06680 08765 your fathers 01 in the day 03117 [that] I brought them forth 03318 08687 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, from the iron 01270 furnace 03564, saying 0559 08800, Obey 08085 08798 my voice 06963, and do 06213 08804 them, according to all which I command 06680 08762 you: so shall ye be my people 05971, and I will be your God 0430:
5 That I may perform 06965 08687 the oath 07621 which I have sworn 07650 08738 unto your fathers 01, to give 05414 08800 them a land 0776 flowing 02100 08802 with milk 02461 and honey 01706, as [it is] this day 03117. Then answered 06030 08799 I, and said 0559 08799, So be it 0543, O LORD 03068.
6 Then the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, Proclaim 07121 08798 all these words 01697 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, Hear 08085 08798 ye the words 01697 of this covenant 01285, and do 06213 08804 them.
7 For I earnestly 05749 08687 protested 05749 08689 unto your fathers 01 in the day 03117 [that] I brought them up 05927 08687 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, [even] unto this day 03117, rising early 07925 08687 and protesting 05749 08687, saying 0559 08800, Obey 08085 08798 my voice 06963.
8 Yet they obeyed 08085 08804 not, nor inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241, but walked 03212 08799 every one 0376 in the imagination 08307 of their evil 07451 heart 03820: therefore I will bring 0935 08686 upon them all the words 01697 of this covenant 01285, which I commanded 06680 08765 [them] to do 06213 08800; but they did 06213 08804 [them] not.
9 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, A conspiracy 07195 is found 04672 08738 among the men 0376 of Judah 03063, and among the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389.
10 They are turned back 07725 08804 to the iniquities 05771 of their forefathers 07223 01, which refused 03985 08765 to hear 08085 08800 my words 01697; and they went 01980 08804 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430 to serve 05647 08800 them: the house 01004 of Israel 03478 and the house 01004 of Judah 03063 have broken 06565 08689 my covenant 01285 which I made 03772 08804 with their fathers 01.
11 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon them, which they shall not be able 03201 08799 to escape 03318 08800; and though they shall cry 02199 08804 unto me, I will not hearken 08085 08799 unto them.
12 Then shall the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 and inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389 go 01980 08804, and cry 02199 08804 unto the gods 0430 unto whom they offer incense 06999 08764: but they shall not save 03467 08686 them at all 03467 08687 in the time 06256 of their trouble 07451.
13 For [according to] the number 04557 of thy cities 05892 were thy gods 0430, O Judah 03063; and [according to] the number 04557 of the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389 have ye set up 07760 08804 altars 04196 to [that] shameful thing 01322, [even] altars 04196 to burn incense 06999 08763 unto Baal 01168.
14 Therefore pray 06419 08691 not thou for this people 05971, neither lift up 05375 08799 a cry 07440 or prayer 08605 for them: for I will not hear 08085 08802 [them] in the time 06256 that they cry 07121 08800 unto me for their trouble 07451.
15 What hath my beloved 03039 to do in mine house 01004, [seeing] she hath wrought 06213 08800 lewdness 04209 with many 07227, and the holy 06944 flesh 01320 is passed 05674 08799 from thee? when thou doest evil 07451, then thou rejoicest 05937 08799.
16 The LORD 03068 called 07121 08804 thy name 08034, A green 07488 olive tree 02132, fair 03303, [and] of goodly 08389 fruit 06529: with the noise 06963 of a great 01419 tumult 01999 he hath kindled 03341 08689 fire 0784 upon it, and the branches 01808 of it are broken 07489 08804.
17 For the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, that planted 05193 08802 thee, hath pronounced 01696 08765 evil 07451 against thee, for 01558 the evil 07451 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478 and of the house 01004 of Judah 03063, which they have done 06213 08804 against themselves to provoke me to anger 03707 08687 in offering incense 06999 08763 unto Baal 01168.
18 And the LORD 03068 hath given me knowledge 03045 08799 [of it], and I know 03045 08689 [it]: then thou shewedst 07200 08689 me their doings 04611.
19 But I [was] like a lamb 03532 [or] an ox 0441 [that] is brought 02986 08714 to the slaughter 02873 08800; and I knew 03045 08804 not that they had devised 02803 08804 devices 04284 against me, [saying], Let us destroy 07843 08686 the tree 06086 with the fruit 03899 thereof, and let us cut him off 03772 08799 from the land 0776 of the living 02416, that his name 08034 may be no more remembered 02142 08735.
20 But, O LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, that judgest 08199 08802 righteously 06664, that triest 0974 08802 the reins 03629 and the heart 03820, let me see 07200 08799 thy vengeance 05360 on them: for unto thee have I revealed 01540 08765 my cause 07379.
21 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of the men 0582 of Anathoth 06068, that seek 01245 08764 thy life 05315, saying 0559 08800, Prophesy 05012 08735 not in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, that thou die 04191 08799 not by our hand 03027:
22 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Behold, I will punish 06485 08802 them: the young men 0970 shall die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719; their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323 shall die 04191 08799 by famine 07458:
23 And there shall be no remnant 07611 of them: for I will bring 0935 08686 evil 07451 upon the men 0582 of Anathoth 06068, [even] the year 08141 of their visitation 06486.
Jer 12
1 Righteous 06662 [art] thou, O LORD 03068, when I plead 07378 08799 with thee: yet let me talk 01696 08762 with thee of [thy] judgments 04941: Wherefore doth the way 01870 of the wicked 07563 prosper 06743 08804? [wherefore] are all they happy 07951 08804 that deal very 0899 treacherously 0898 08802?
2 Thou hast planted 05193 08804 them, yea, they have taken root 08327 08776: they grow 03212 08799, yea, they bring forth 06213 08804 fruit 06529: thou [art] near 07138 in their mouth 06310, and far from 07350 their reins 03629.
3 But thou, O LORD 03068, knowest 03045 08804 me: thou hast seen 07200 08799 me, and tried 0974 08804 mine heart 03820 toward thee: pull them out 05423 08685 like sheep 06629 for the slaughter 02878, and prepare 06942 08685 them for the day 03117 of slaughter 02028.
4 How long shall the land 0776 mourn 056 08799, and the herbs 06212 of every field 07704 wither 03001 08799, for the wickedness 07451 of them that dwell 03427 08802 therein? the beasts 0929 are consumed 05595 08804, and the birds 05775; because they said 0559 08804, He shall not see 07200 08799 our last end 0319.
5 If thou hast run 07323 08804 with the footmen 07273, and they have wearied 03811 08686 thee, then how canst thou contend 08474 08807 with horses 05483? and [if] in the land 0776 of peace 07965, [wherein] thou trustedst 0982 08802, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do 06213 08799 in the swelling 01347 of Jordan 03383?
6 For even thy brethren 0251, and the house 01004 of thy father 01, even they have dealt treacherously 0898 08804 with thee; yea, they have called 07121 08804 a multitude 04392 after 0310 thee: believe 0539 08686 them not, though they speak 01696 08762 fair words 02896 unto thee.
7 I have forsaken 05800 08804 mine house 01004, I have left 05203 08804 mine heritage 05159; I have given 05414 08804 the dearly beloved 03033 of my soul 05315 into the hand 03709 of her enemies 0341 08802.
8 Mine heritage 05159 is unto me as a lion 0738 in the forest 03293; it crieth out 05414 08804 06963 against me: therefore have I hated 08130 08804 it.
9 Mine heritage 05159 [is] unto me [as] a speckled 06641 bird 05861, the birds 05861 round about 05439 [are] against her; come 03212 08798 ye, assemble 0622 08798 all the beasts 02416 of the field 07704, come 0857 08685 to devour 0402.
10 Many 07227 pastors 07462 08802 have destroyed 07843 08765 my vineyard 03754, they have trodden 0947 00 my portion 02513 under foot 0947 08790, they have made 05414 08804 my pleasant 02532 portion 02513 a desolate 08077 wilderness 04057.
11 They have made 07760 08804 it desolate 08076, [and being] desolate 08077 it mourneth 056 08804 unto me; the whole land 0776 is made desolate 08074 08738, because no man 0376 layeth 07760 08802 [it] to heart 03820.
12 The spoilers 07703 08802 are come 0935 08804 upon all high places 08205 through the wilderness 04057: for the sword 02719 of the LORD 03068 shall devour 0398 08802 from the [one] end 07097 of the land 0776 even to the [other] end 07097 of the land 0776: no flesh 01320 shall have peace 07965.
13 They have sown 02232 08804 wheat 02406, but shall reap 07114 08804 thorns 06975: they have put themselves to pain 02470 08738, [but] shall not profit 03276 08686: and they shall be ashamed 0954 08804 of your revenues 08393 because of the fierce 02740 anger 0639 of the LORD 03068.
14 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 against all mine evil 07451 neighbours 07934, that touch 05060 08802 the inheritance 05159 which I have caused my people 05971 Israel 03478 to inherit 05157 08689; Behold, I will pluck them out 05428 08802 of their land 0127, and pluck out 05428 08799 the house 01004 of Judah 03063 from among 08432 them.
15 And it shall come to pass, after 0310 that I have plucked them out 05428 08800 I will return 07725 08799, and have compassion 07355 08765 on them, and will bring them again 07725 08689, every man 0376 to his heritage 05159, and every man 0376 to his land 0776.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently 03925 08800 learn 03925 08799 the ways 01870 of my people 05971, to swear 07650 08736 by my name 08034, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416; as they taught 03925 08765 my people 05971 to swear 07650 08736 by Baal 01168; then shall they be built 01129 08738 in the midst 08432 of my people 05971.
17 But if they will not obey 08085 08799, I will utterly 05428 08800 pluck up 05428 08804 and destroy 06 08763 that nation 01471, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
Jer 13
1 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 unto me, Go 01980 08800 and get 07069 08804 thee a linen 06593 girdle 0232, and put 07760 08804 it upon thy loins 04975, and put 0935 08686 it not in water 04325.
2 So I got 07069 08799 a girdle 0232 according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and put 07760 08799 [it] on my loins 04975.
3 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me the second time 08145, saying 0559 08800,
4 Take 03947 08798 the girdle 0232 that thou hast got 07069 08804, which [is] upon thy loins 04975, and arise 06965 08798, go 03212 08798 to Euphrates 06578, and hide 02934 08798 it there in a hole 05357 of the rock 05553.
5 So I went 03212 08799, and hid 02934 08799 it by Euphrates 06578, as the LORD 03068 commanded 06680 08765 me.
6 And it came to pass after 07093 many 07227 days 03117, that the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, Arise 06965 08798, go 03212 08798 to Euphrates 06578, and take 03947 08798 the girdle 0232 from thence, which I commanded 06680 08765 thee to hide 02934 08800 there.
7 Then I went 03212 08799 to Euphrates 06578, and digged 02658 08799, and took 03947 08799 the girdle 0232 from the place 04725 where I had hid 02934 08804 it: and, behold, the girdle 0232 was marred 07843 08738, it was profitable 06743 08799 for nothing.
8 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me, saying 0559 08800,
9 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, After this manner will I mar 07843 08686 the pride 01347 of Judah 03063, and the great 07227 pride 01347 of Jerusalem 03389.
10 This evil 07451 people 05971, which refuse 03987 to hear 08085 08800 my words 01697, which walk 01980 08802 in the imagination 08307 of their heart 03820, and walk 03212 08799 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, to serve 05647 08800 them, and to worship 07812 08692 them, shall even be as this girdle 0232, which is good 06743 08799 for nothing.
11 For as the girdle 0232 cleaveth 01692 08799 to the loins 04975 of a man 0376, so have I caused to cleave 01692 08689 unto me the whole house 01004 of Israel 03478 and the whole house 01004 of Judah 03063, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; that they might be unto me for a people 05971, and for a name 08034, and for a praise 08416, and for a glory 08597: but they would not hear 08085 08804.
12 Therefore thou shalt speak 0559 08804 unto them this word 01697; Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, Every bottle 05035 shall be filled 04390 08735 with wine 03196: and they shall say 0559 08804 unto thee, Do we not certainly 03045 08800 know 03045 08799 that every bottle 05035 shall be filled 04390 08735 with wine 03196?
13 Then shalt thou say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will fill 04390 08764 all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of this land 0776, even the kings 04428 that sit 03427 08802 upon David's 01732 throne 03678, and the priests 03548, and the prophets 05030, and all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, with drunkenness 07943.
14 And I will dash 05310 08765 them one 0376 against another 0251, even the fathers 01 and the sons 01121 together 03162, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: I will not pity 02550 08799, nor spare 02347 08799, nor have mercy 07355 08762, but destroy 07843 08687 them.
15 Hear 08085 08798 ye, and give ear 0238 08685; be not proud 01361 08799: for the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765.
16 Give 05414 08798 glory 03519 to the LORD 03068 your God 0430, before he cause darkness 02821 08686, and before your feet 07272 stumble 05062 08691 upon the dark 05399 mountains 02022, and, while ye look 06960 08765 for light 0216, he turn 07760 08804 it into the shadow of death 06757, [and] make 07896 08798 08675 07896 08799 [it] gross darkness 06205.
17 But if ye will not hear 08085 08799 it, my soul 05315 shall weep 01058 08799 in secret places 04565 for 06440 [your] pride 01466; and mine eye 05869 shall weep 01830 08799 sore 01830 08800, and run down 03381 08799 with tears 01832, because the LORD'S 03068 flock 05739 is carried away captive 07617 08738.
18 Say 0559 08798 unto the king 04428 and to the queen 01377, Humble 08213 08685 yourselves, sit down 03427 08798: for your principalities 04761 shall come down 03381 08804, [even] the crown 05850 of your glory 08597.
19 The cities 05892 of the south 05045 shall be shut up 05462 08795, and none shall open 06605 08802 [them]: Judah 03063 shall be carried away captive 01540 08717 all of it, it shall be wholly 07965 carried away captive 01540 08717.
20 Lift up 05375 08798 your eyes 05869, and behold 07200 08798 them that come 0935 08802 from the north 06828: where [is] the flock 05739 [that] was given 05414 08738 thee, thy beautiful 08597 flock 06629?
21 What wilt thou say 0559 08799 when he shall punish 06485 08799 thee? for thou hast taught 03925 08765 them [to be] captains 0441, [and] as chief 07218 over thee: shall not sorrows 02256 take 0270 08799 thee, as a woman 0802 in travail 03205 08800?
22 And if thou say 0559 08799 in thine heart 03824, Wherefore come 07122 08804 these things upon me? For the greatness 07230 of thine iniquity 05771 are thy skirts 07757 discovered 01540 08738, [and] thy heels 06119 made bare 02554 08738.
23 Can the Ethiopian 03569 change 02015 08799 his skin 05785, or the leopard 05246 his spots 02272? [then] may 03201 08799 ye also do good 03190 08687, that are accustomed 03928 to do evil 07489 08687.
24 Therefore will I scatter 06327 08686 them as the stubble 07179 that passeth away 05674 08802 by the wind 07307 of the wilderness 04057.
25 This [is] thy lot 01486, the portion 04490 of thy measures 04055 from me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; because thou hast forgotten 07911 08804 me, and trusted 0982 08799 in falsehood 08267.
26 Therefore will I discover 02834 08804 thy skirts 07757 upon thy face 06440, that thy shame 07036 may appear 07200 08738.
27 I have seen 07200 08804 thine adulteries 05004, and thy neighings 04684, the lewdness 02154 of thy whoredom 02184, [and] thine abominations 08251 on the hills 01389 in the fields 07704. Woe 0188 unto thee, O Jerusalem 03389! wilt thou not be made clean 02891 08799? when [shall it] once 05750 0310 [be]?
Jer 14
1 The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 that came to Jeremiah 03414 concerning 01697 the dearth 01226.
2 Judah 03063 mourneth 056 08804, and the gates 08179 thereof languish 0535 08797; they are black 06937 08804 unto the ground 0776; and the cry 06682 of Jerusalem 03389 is gone up 05927 08804.
3 And their nobles 0117 have sent 07971 08804 their little ones 06810 to the waters 04325: they came 0935 08804 to the pits 01356 08676 01360, [and] found 04672 08804 no water 04325; they returned 07725 08804 with their vessels 03627 empty 07387; they were ashamed 0954 08804 and confounded 03637 08717, and covered 02645 08804 their heads 07218.
4 Because the ground 0127 is chapt 02865 08804, for there was no rain 01653 in the earth 0776, the plowmen 0406 were ashamed 0954 08804, they covered 02645 08804 their heads 07218.
5 Yea, the hind 0365 also calved 03205 08804 in the field 07704, and forsook 05800 08800 [it], because there was no grass 01877.
6 And the wild asses 06501 did stand 05975 08804 in the high places 08205, they snuffed up 07602 08804 the wind 07307 like dragons 08577; their eyes 05869 did fail 03615 08804, because [there was] no grass 06212.
7 O LORD 03068, though our iniquities 05771 testify 06030 08804 against us, do 06213 08798 thou [it] for thy name's 08034 sake: for our backslidings 04878 are many 07231 08804; we have sinned 02398 08804 against thee.
8 O the hope 04723 of Israel 03478, the saviour 03467 08688 thereof in time 06256 of trouble 06869, why shouldest thou be as a stranger 01616 in the land 0776, and as a wayfaring man 0732 08802 [that] turneth aside 05186 08804 to tarry for a night 03885 08800?
9 Why shouldest thou be as a man 0376 astonied 01724 08737, as a mighty man 01368 [that] cannot 03201 08799 save 03467 08687? yet thou, O LORD 03068, [art] in the midst 07130 of us, and we are called 07121 08738 by thy name 08034; leave 03240 08686 us not.
10 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 unto this people 05971, Thus have they loved 0157 08804 to wander 05128 08800, they have not refrained 02820 08804 their feet 07272, therefore the LORD 03068 doth not accept 07521 08804 them; he will now remember 02142 08799 their iniquity 05771, and visit 06485 08799 their sins 02403.
11 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068 unto me, Pray 06419 08691 not for this people 05971 for [their] good 02896.
12 When they fast 06684 08799, I will not hear 08085 08802 their cry 07440; and when they offer 05927 08686 burnt offering 05930 and an oblation 04503, I will not accept 07521 08802 them: but I will consume 03615 08764 them by the sword 02719, and by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698.
13 Then said 0559 08799 I, Ah 0162, Lord 0136 GOD 03069! behold, the prophets 05030 say 0559 08802 unto them, Ye shall not see 07200 08799 the sword 02719, neither shall ye have famine 07458; but I will give 05414 08799 you assured 0571 peace 07965 in this place 04725.
14 Then the LORD 03068 said 0559 08799 unto me, The prophets 05030 prophesy 05012 08737 lies 08267 in my name 08034: I sent 07971 08804 them not, neither have I commanded 06680 08765 them, neither spake 01696 08765 unto them: they prophesy 05012 08693 unto you a false 08267 vision 02377 and divination 07081, and a thing of nought 0457 08675 0434, and the deceit 08649 of their heart 03820.
15 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 concerning the prophets 05030 that prophesy 05012 08737 in my name 08034, and I sent 07971 08804 them not, yet they say 0559 08802, Sword 02719 and famine 07458 shall not be in this land 0776; By sword 02719 and famine 07458 shall those prophets 05030 be consumed 08552 08735.
16 And the people 05971 to whom they prophesy 05012 08737 shall be cast out 07993 08716 in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389 because 06440 of the famine 07458 and the sword 02719; and they shall have none to bury 06912 08764 them 01992, them, their wives 0802, nor their sons 01121, nor their daughters 01323: for I will pour 08210 08804 their wickedness 07451 upon them.
17 Therefore thou shalt say 0559 08804 this word 01697 unto them; Let mine eyes 05869 run down 03381 08799 with tears 01832 night 03915 and day 03119, and let them not cease 01820 08799: for the virgin 01330 daughter 01323 of my people 05971 is broken 07665 08738 with a great 01419 breach 07667, with a very 03966 grievous 02470 08737 blow 04347.
18 If I go forth 03318 08804 into the field 07704, then behold the slain 02491 with the sword 02719! and if I enter 0935 08804 into the city 05892, then behold them that are sick 08463 with famine 07458! yea, both the prophet 05030 and the priest 03548 go about 05503 08804 into a land 0776 that they know 03045 08804 not.
19 Hast thou utterly 03988 08800 rejected 03988 08804 Judah 03063? hath thy soul 05315 lothed 01602 08804 Zion 06726? why hast thou smitten 05221 08689 us, and [there is] no healing 04832 for us? we looked 06960 08763 for peace 07965, and [there is] no good 02896; and for the time 06256 of healing 04832, and behold trouble 01205!
20 We acknowledge 03045 08804, O LORD 03068, our wickedness 07562, [and] the iniquity 05771 of our fathers 01: for we have sinned 02398 08804 against thee.
21 Do not abhor 05006 08799 [us], for thy name's 08034 sake, do not disgrace 05034 08762 the throne 03678 of thy glory 03519: remember 02142 08798, break 06565 08686 not thy covenant 01285 with us.
22 Are there 03426 [any] among the vanities 01892 of the Gentiles 01471 that can cause rain 01652 08688? or can the heavens 08064 give 05414 08799 showers 07241? [art] not thou he, O LORD 03068 our God 0430? therefore we will wait 06960 08762 upon thee: for thou hast made 06213 08804 all these [things].
Jer 15
1 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068 unto me, Though Moses 04872 and Samuel 08050 stood 05975 08799 before 06440 me, [yet] my mind 05315 [could] not [be] toward this people 05971: cast [them] out 07971 08761 of my sight 06440, and let them go forth 03318 08799.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say 0559 08799 unto thee, Whither shall we go forth 03318 08799? then thou shalt tell 0559 08804 them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Such as [are] for death 04194, to death 04194; and such as [are] for the sword 02719, to the sword 02719; and such as [are] for the famine 07458, to the famine 07458; and such as [are] for the captivity 07628, to the captivity 07628.
3 And I will appoint 06485 08804 over them four 0702 kinds 04940, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: the sword 02719 to slay 02026 08800, and the dogs 03611 to tear 05498 08800, and the fowls 05775 of the heaven 08064, and the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776, to devour 0398 08800 and destroy 07843 08687.
4 And I will cause 05414 08804 them to be removed 02189 08675 02113 into all kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776, because 01558 of Manasseh 04519 the son 01121 of Hezekiah 03169 king 04428 of Judah 03063, for [that] which he did 06213 08804 in Jerusalem 03389.
5 For who shall have pity 02550 08799 upon thee, O Jerusalem 03389? or who shall bemoan 05110 08799 thee? or who shall go aside 05493 08799 to ask 07592 08800 how thou doest 07965?
6 Thou hast forsaken 05203 08804 me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, thou art gone 03212 08799 backward 0268: therefore will I stretch out 05186 08686 my hand 03027 against thee, and destroy 07843 08686 thee; I am weary 03811 08738 with repenting 05162 08736.
7 And I will fan 02219 08799 them with a fan 04214 in the gates 08179 of the land 0776; I will bereave 07921 08765 [them] of children, I will destroy 06 08765 my people 05971, [since] they return 07725 08804 not from their ways 01870.
8 Their widows 0490 are increased 06105 08804 to me above the sand 02344 of the seas 03220: I have brought 0935 08689 upon them against the mother 0517 of the young men 0970 a spoiler 07703 08802 at noonday 06672: I have caused [him] to fall 05307 08689 upon it suddenly 06597, and terrors 0928 upon the city 05892.
9 She that hath borne 03205 08802 seven 07651 languisheth 0535 08797: she hath given up 05301 08804 the ghost 05315; her sun 08121 is gone 0935 08804 down while [it was] yet day 03119 08676 03117: she hath been ashamed 0954 08804 and confounded 02659 08804: and the residue 07611 of them will I deliver 05414 08799 to the sword 02719 before 06440 their enemies 0341 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
10 Woe 0188 is me, my mother 0517, that thou hast borne 03205 08804 me a man 0376 of strife 07379 and a man 0376 of contention 04066 to the whole earth 0776! I have neither lent on usury 05383 08804, nor men have lent to me on usury 05383 08804; [yet] every one of them doth curse 07043 08764 me.
11 The LORD 03068 said 0559 08804, Verily 03808 0518 it shall be well 02896 with thy remnant 08281 08765 08675 08293; verily 0518 I will cause the enemy 0341 08802 to entreat 06293 08689 thee [well] in the time 06256 of evil 07451 and in the time 06256 of affliction 06869.
12 Shall iron 01270 break 07489 08799 the northern 06828 iron 01270 and the steel 05178?
13 Thy substance 02428 and thy treasures 0214 will I give 05414 08799 to the spoil 0957 without price 04242, and [that] for all thy sins 02403, even in all thy borders 01366.
14 And I will make [thee] to pass 05674 08689 with thine enemies 0341 08802 into a land 0776 [which] thou knowest 03045 08804 not: for a fire 0784 is kindled 06919 08804 in mine anger 0639, [which] shall burn 03344 08714 upon you.
15 O LORD 03068, thou knowest 03045 08804: remember 02142 08798 me, and visit 06485 08798 me, and revenge 05358 08734 me of my persecutors 07291 08802; take me not away 03947 08799 in thy longsuffering 0639 0750: know 03045 08798 that for thy sake I have suffered 05375 08800 rebuke 02781.
16 Thy words 01697 were found 04672 08738, and I did eat 0398 08799 them; and thy word 01697 was unto me the joy 08342 and rejoicing 08057 of mine heart 03824: for I am called 07121 08738 by thy name 08034, O LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635.
17 I sat 03427 08804 not in the assembly 05475 of the mockers 07832 08764, nor rejoiced 05937 08799; I sat 03427 08804 alone 0910 because 06440 of thy hand 03027: for thou hast filled 04390 08765 me with indignation 02195.
18 Why is my pain 03511 perpetual 05331, and my wound 04347 incurable 0605 08803, [which] refuseth 03985 08765 to be healed 07495 08736? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar 0391, [and as] waters 04325 [that] fail 0539 08738?
19 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, If thou return 07725 08799, then will I bring thee again 07725 08686, [and] thou shalt stand 05975 08799 before 06440 me: and if thou take forth 03318 08686 the precious 03368 from the vile 02151 08802, thou shalt be as my mouth 06310: let them return 07725 08799 unto thee; but return 07725 08799 not thou unto them.
20 And I will make 05414 08804 thee unto this people 05971 a fenced 01219 08803 brasen 05178 wall 02346: and they shall fight 03898 08738 against thee, but they shall not prevail 03201 08799 against thee: for I [am] with thee to save 03467 08687 thee and to deliver 05337 08687 thee, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
21 And I will deliver 05337 08689 thee out of the hand 03027 of the wicked 07451, and I will redeem 06299 08804 thee out of the hand 03709 of the terrible 06184.
Jer 16
1 The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came also unto me, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thou shalt not take 03947 08799 thee a wife 0802, neither shalt thou have sons 01121 or daughters 01323 in this place 04725.
3 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 concerning the sons 01121 and concerning the daughters 01323 that are born 03205 08688 in this place 04725, and concerning their mothers 0517 that bare 03205 08802 them, and concerning their fathers 01 that begat 03209 them in this land 0776;
4 They shall die 04191 08799 of grievous 08463 deaths 04463; they shall not be lamented 05594 08735; neither shall they be buried 06912 08735; [but] they shall be as dung 01828 upon the face 06440 of the earth 0127: and they shall be consumed 03615 08799 by the sword 02719, and by famine 07458; and their carcases 05038 shall be meat 03978 for the fowls 05775 of heaven 08064, and for the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776.
5 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Enter 0935 08799 not into the house 01004 of mourning 04798, neither go 03212 08799 to lament 05594 08800 nor bemoan 05110 08799 them: for I have taken away 0622 08804 my peace 07965 from this people 05971, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, [even] lovingkindness 02617 and mercies 07356.
6 Both the great 01419 and the small 06996 shall die 04191 08804 in this land 0776: they shall not be buried 06912 08735, neither shall [men] lament 05594 08799 for them, nor cut 01413 08704 themselves, nor make themselves bald 07139 08735 for them:
7 Neither shall [men] tear 06536 08799 [themselves] for them in mourning 060, to comfort 05162 08763 them for the dead 04191 08801; neither shall [men] give them the cup 03563 of consolation 08575 to drink 08248 08686 for their father 01 or for their mother 0517.
8 Thou shalt not also go 0935 08799 into the house 01004 of feasting 04960, to sit 03427 08800 with them to eat 0398 08800 and to drink 08354 08800.
9 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will cause to cease 07673 08688 out of this place 04725 in your eyes 05869, and in your days 03117, the voice 06963 of mirth 08342, and the voice 06963 of gladness 08057, the voice 06963 of the bridegroom 02860, and the voice 06963 of the bride 03618.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew 05046 08686 this people 05971 all these words 01697, and they shall say 0559 08804 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD 03068 pronounced 01696 08765 all this great 01419 evil 07451 against us? or what [is] our iniquity 05771? or what [is] our sin 02403 that we have committed 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068 our God 0430?
11 Then shalt thou say 0559 08804 unto them, Because your fathers 01 have forsaken 05800 08804 me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and have walked 03212 08799 after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430, and have served 05647 08799 them, and have worshipped 07812 08691 them, and have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and have not kept 08104 08804 my law 08451;
12 And ye have done 06213 08800 worse 07489 08689 than your fathers 01; for, behold 02009, ye walk 01980 08802 every one 0376 after 0310 the imagination 08307 of his evil 07451 heart 03820, that they may not hearken 08085 08800 unto me:
13 Therefore will I cast 02904 08689 you out of this land 0776 into a land 0776 that ye know 03045 08804 not, [neither] ye nor your fathers 01; and there shall ye serve 05647 08804 other 0312 gods 0430 day 03119 and night 03915; where I will not shew 05414 08799 you favour 02594.
14 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that it shall no more be said 0559 08735, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416, that brought up 05927 08689 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714;
15 But, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416, that brought up 05927 08689 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 from the land 0776 of the north 06828, and from all the lands 0776 whither he had driven 05080 08689 them: and I will bring them again 07725 08689 into their land 0127 that I gave 05414 08804 unto their fathers 01.
16 Behold, I will send 07971 08802 for many 07227 fishers 01771 08675 01728, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and they shall fish 01770 08804 them; and after 0310 will I send 07971 08799 for many 07227 hunters 06719, and they shall hunt 06679 08804 them from every mountain 02022, and from every hill 01389, and out of the holes 05357 of the rocks 05553.
17 For mine eyes 05869 [are] upon all their ways 01870: they are not hid 05641 08738 from my face 06440, neither is their iniquity 05771 hid 06845 08738 from 05048 mine eyes 05869.
18 And first 07223 I will recompense 07999 08765 their iniquity 05771 and their sin 02403 double 04932; because they have defiled 02490 08763 my land 0776, they have filled 04390 08804 mine inheritance 05159 with the carcases 05038 of their detestable 08251 and abominable things 08441.
19 O LORD 03068, my strength 05797, and my fortress 04581, and my refuge 04498 in the day 03117 of affliction 06869, the Gentiles 01471 shall come 0935 08799 unto thee from the ends 0657 of the earth 0776, and shall say 0559 08799, Surely our fathers 01 have inherited 05157 08804 lies 08267, vanity 01892, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit 03276 08688.
20 Shall a man 0120 make 06213 08799 gods 0430 unto himself, and they [are] no gods 0430?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once 06471 cause them to know 03045 08688, I will cause them to know 03045 08686 mine hand 03027 and my might 01369; and they shall know 03045 08804 that my name 08034 [is] The LORD 03068.
Jer 17
1 The sin 02403 of Judah 03063 [is] written 03789 08803 with a pen 05842 of iron 01270, [and] with the point 06856 of a diamond 08068: [it is] graven 02790 08803 upon the table 03871 of their heart 03820, and upon the horns 07161 of your altars 04196;
2 Whilst their children 01121 remember 02142 08800 their altars 04196 and their groves 0842 by the green 07488 trees 06086 upon the high 01364 hills 01389.
3 O my mountain 02042 in the field 07704, I will give 05414 08799 thy substance 02428 [and] all thy treasures 0214 to the spoil 0957, [and] thy high places 01116 for sin 02403, throughout all thy borders 01366.
4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue 08058 08804 from thine heritage 05159 that I gave 05414 08804 thee; and I will cause thee to serve 05647 08689 thine enemies 0341 08802 in the land 0776 which thou knowest 03045 08804 not: for ye have kindled 06919 08804 a fire 0784 in mine anger 0639, [which] shall burn 03344 08714 for 05704 ever 05769.
5 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Cursed 0779 08803 [be] the man 01397 that trusteth 0982 08799 in man 0120, and maketh 07760 08804 flesh 01320 his arm 02220, and whose heart 03820 departeth 05493 08799 from the LORD 03068.
6 For he shall be like the heath 06199 in the desert 06160, and shall not see 07200 08799 when good 02896 cometh 0935 08799; but shall inhabit 07931 08804 the parched places 02788 in the wilderness 04057, [in] a salt 04420 land 0776 and not inhabited 03427 08799.
7 Blessed 01288 08803 [is] the man 01397 that trusteth 0982 08799 in the LORD 03068, and whose hope 04009 the LORD 03068 is.
8 For he shall be as a tree 06086 planted 08362 08803 by the waters 04325, and [that] spreadeth out 07971 08762 her roots 08328 by the river 03105, and shall not see 07200 08799 when heat 02527 cometh 0935 08799, but her leaf 05929 shall be green 07488; and shall not be careful 01672 08799 in the year 08141 of drought 01226, neither shall cease 04185 08686 from yielding 06213 08800 fruit 06529.
9 The heart 03820 [is] deceitful 06121 above all [things], and desperately wicked 0605 08803: who can know 03045 08799 it?
10 I the LORD 03068 search 02713 08802 the heart 03820, [I] try 0974 08802 the reins 03629, even to give 05414 08800 every man 0376 according to his ways 01870, [and] according to the fruit 06529 of his doings 04611.
11 [As] the partridge 07124 sitteth 01716 08804 [on eggs], and hatcheth 03205 08804 [them] not; [so] he that getteth 06213 08802 riches 06239, and not by right 04941, shall leave 05800 08799 them in the midst 02677 of his days 03117, and at his end 0319 shall be a fool 05036.
12 A glorious 03519 high 04791 throne 03678 from the beginning 07223 [is] the place 04725 of our sanctuary 04720.
13 O LORD 03068, the hope 04723 of Israel 03478, all that forsake 05800 08802 thee shall be ashamed 0954 08799, [and] they that depart 03249 from me 05493 08803 shall be written 03789 08735 in the earth 0776, because they have forsaken 05800 08804 the LORD 03068, the fountain 04726 of living 02416 waters 04325.
14 Heal 07495 08798 me, O LORD 03068, and I shall be healed 07495 08735; save 03467 08685 me, and I shall be saved 03467 08735: for thou [art] my praise 08416.
15 Behold, they say 0559 08802 unto me, Where [is] the word 01697 of the LORD 03068? let it come 0935 08799 now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened 0213 08804 from [being] a pastor 07462 08802 to follow 0310 thee: neither have I desired 0183 08694 the woeful 0605 08803 day 03117; thou knowest 03045 08804: that which came out 04161 of my lips 08193 was [right] before 05227 thee 06440.
17 Be not a terror 04288 unto me: thou [art] my hope 04268 in the day 03117 of evil 07451.
18 Let them be confounded 0954 08799 that persecute 07291 08802 me, but let not me be confounded 0954 08799: let them be dismayed 02865 08735, but let not me be dismayed 02865 08735: bring 0935 08687 upon them the day 03117 of evil 07451, and destroy 07665 08798 them with double 04932 destruction 07670.
19 Thus said 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 unto me; Go 01980 08800 and stand 05975 08804 in the gate 08179 of the children 01121 of the people 05971, whereby the kings 04428 of Judah 03063 come in 0935 08799, and by the which they go out 03318 08799, and in all the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389;
20 And say 0559 08804 unto them, Hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, ye kings 04428 of Judah 03063, and all Judah 03063, and all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, that enter in 0935 08802 by these gates 08179:
21 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Take heed 08104 08734 to yourselves 05315, and bear 05375 08799 no burden 04853 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117, nor bring 0935 08689 [it] in by the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389;
22 Neither carry forth 03318 08686 a burden 04853 out of your houses 01004 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117, neither do 06213 08799 ye any work 04399, but hallow 06942 08765 ye the sabbath 07676 day 03117, as I commanded 06680 08765 your fathers 01.
23 But they obeyed 08085 08804 not, neither inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241, but made their neck 06203 stiff 07185 08686, that they might not hear 08085 08800, nor receive 03947 08800 instruction 04148.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently 08085 08800 hearken 08085 08799 unto me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, to bring 0935 08687 in no burden 04853 through the gates 08179 of this city 05892 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117, but hallow 06942 08763 the sabbath 07676 day 03117, to do 06213 08800 no 01115 work 04399 therein;
25 Then shall there enter 0935 08804 into the gates 08179 of this city 05892 kings 04428 and princes 08269 sitting 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, riding 07392 08802 in chariots 07393 and on horses 05483, they, and their princes 08269, the men 0376 of Judah 03063, and the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389: and this city 05892 shall remain 03427 08804 for ever 05769.
26 And they shall come 0935 08804 from the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and from the places about 05439 Jerusalem 03389, and from the land 0776 of Benjamin 01144, and from the plain 08219, and from the mountains 02022, and from the south 05045, bringing 0935 08688 burnt offerings 05930, and sacrifices 02077, and meat offerings 04503, and incense 03828, and bringing 0935 08688 sacrifices of praise 08426, unto the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
27 But if ye will not hearken 08085 08799 unto me to hallow 06942 08763 the sabbath 07676 day 03117, and not to bear 05375 08800 a burden 04853, even entering in 0935 08800 at the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389 on the sabbath 07676 day 03117; then will I kindle 03341 08689 a fire 0784 in the gates 08179 thereof, and it shall devour 0398 08804 the palaces 0759 of Jerusalem 03389, and it shall not be quenched 03518 08799.
Jer 18
1 The word 01697 which came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Arise 06965 08798, and go down 03381 08804 to the potter's 03335 08802 house 01004, and there I will cause thee to hear 08085 08686 my words 01697.
3 Then I went down 03381 08799 to the potter's 03335 08802 house 01004, and, behold 02009, he wrought 06213 08802 a work 04399 on the wheels 070.
4 And the vessel 03627 that he made 06213 08802 of clay 02563 was marred 07843 08738 in the hand 03027 of the potter 03335 08802: so he made 06213 08799 it again 07725 08804 another 0312 vessel 03627, as seemed 05869 good 03474 08804 to the potter 03335 08802 to make 06213 08800 [it].
5 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to me, saying 0559 08800,
6 O house 01004 of Israel 03478, cannot 03201 08799 I do 06213 08800 with you as this potter 03335 08802? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068. Behold, as the clay 02563 [is] in the potter's 03335 08802 hand 03027, so [are] ye in mine hand 03027, O house 01004 of Israel 03478.
7 [At what] instant 07281 I shall speak 01696 08762 concerning a nation 01471, and concerning a kingdom 04467, to pluck up 05428 08800, and to pull down 05422 08800, and to destroy 06 08687 [it];
8 If that nation 01471, against whom I have pronounced 01696 08765, turn 07725 08804 from their evil 07451, I will repent 05162 08738 of the evil 07451 that I thought 02803 08804 to do 06213 08800 unto them.
9 And [at what] instant 07281 I shall speak 01696 08762 concerning a nation 01471, and concerning a kingdom 04467, to build 01129 08800 and to plant 05193 08800 [it];
10 If it do 06213 08804 evil 07451 in my sight 05869, that it obey 08085 08800 not my voice 06963, then I will repent 05162 08738 of the good 02896, wherewith I said 0559 08804 I would benefit 03190 08687 them.
11 Now therefore go to, speak 0559 08798 to the men 0376 of Judah 03063, and to the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I frame 03335 08802 evil 07451 against you, and devise 02803 08802 a device 04284 against you: return 07725 08798 ye now every one 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870, and make your ways 01870 and your doings 04611 good 03190 08685.
12 And they said 0559 08804, There is no hope 02976 08737: but we will walk 03212 08799 after 0310 our own devices 04284, and we will every one 0376 do 06213 08799 the imagination 08307 of his evil 07451 heart 03820.
13 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Ask 07592 08798 ye now among the heathen 01471, who hath heard 08085 08804 such things: the virgin 01330 of Israel 03478 hath done 06213 08804 a very 03966 horrible thing 08186.
14 Will [a man] leave 05800 08799 the snow 07950 of Lebanon 03844 [which cometh] from the rock 06697 of the field 07704? [or] shall the cold 07119 flowing 05140 08802 waters 04325 that come from another place 02114 08801 be forsaken 05428 08735?
15 Because my people 05971 hath forgotten 07911 08804 me, they have burned incense 06999 08762 to vanity 07723, and they have caused them to stumble 03782 08686 in their ways 01870 [from] the ancient 05769 paths 07635 08675 07635, to walk 03212 08800 in paths 05410, [in] a way 01870 not cast up 05549 08803;
16 To make 07760 08800 their land 0776 desolate 08047, [and] a perpetual 05769 hissing 08292 08675 08292; every one that passeth 05674 08802 thereby shall be astonished 08074 08799, and wag 05110 08686 his head 07218.
17 I will scatter 06327 08686 them as with an east 06921 wind 07307 before 06440 the enemy 0341 08802; I will shew 07200 08799 them the back 06203, and not the face 06440, in the day 03117 of their calamity 0343.
18 Then said 0559 08799 they, Come 03212 08798, and let us devise 02803 08799 devices 04284 against Jeremiah 03414; for the law 08451 shall not perish 06 08799 from the priest 03548, nor counsel 06098 from the wise 02450, nor the word 01697 from the prophet 05030. Come 03212 08798, and let us smite 05221 08686 him with the tongue 03956, and let us not give heed 07181 08686 to any of his words 01697.
19 Give heed 07181 08685 to me, O LORD 03068, and hearken 08085 08798 to the voice 06963 of them that contend 03401 with me.
20 Shall evil 07451 be recompensed 07999 08792 for good 02896? for they have digged 03738 08804 a pit 07745 for my soul 05315. Remember 02142 08798 that I stood 05975 08800 before 06440 thee to speak 01696 08763 good 02896 for them, [and] to turn away 07725 08687 thy wrath 02534 from them.
21 Therefore deliver up 05414 08798 their children 01121 to the famine 07458, and pour out 05064 08685 their [blood] by the force 03027 of the sword 02719; and let their wives 0802 be bereaved 07909 of their children, and [be] widows 0490; and let their men 0582 be put 02026 08803 to death 04194; [let] their young men 0970 [be] slain 05221 08716 by the sword 02719 in battle 04421.
22 Let a cry 02201 be heard 08085 08735 from their houses 01004, when thou shalt bring 0935 08686 a troop 01416 suddenly 06597 upon them: for they have digged 03738 08804 a pit 07745 08675 07882 to take 03920 08800 me, and hid 02934 08804 snares 06341 for my feet 07272.
23 Yet, LORD 03068, thou knowest 03045 08804 all their counsel 06098 against me to slay 04194 [me]: forgive 03722 08762 not their iniquity 05771, neither blot out 04229 08686 their sin 02403 from thy sight 06440, but let them be overthrown 03782 08716 before 06440 thee; deal 06213 08798 [thus] with them in the time 06256 of thine anger 0639.
Jer 19
1 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Go 01980 08800 and get 07069 08804 a potter's 03335 08802 earthen 02789 bottle 01228, and [take] of the ancients 02205 of the people 05971, and of the ancients 02205 of the priests 03548;
2 And go forth 03318 08804 unto the valley 01516 of the son 01121 of Hinnom 02011, which [is] by the entry 06607 of the east 02777 gate 08179, and proclaim 07121 08804 there the words 01697 that I shall tell 01696 08762 thee,
3 And say 0559 08804, Hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O kings 04428 of Judah 03063, and inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389; Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon this place 04725, the which whosoever heareth 08085 08802, his ears 0241 shall tingle 06750 08799.
4 Because they have forsaken 05800 08804 me, and have estranged 05234 08762 this place 04725, and have burned incense 06999 08762 in it unto other 0312 gods 0430, whom neither they nor their fathers 01 have known 03045 08804, nor the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, and have filled 04390 08804 this place 04725 with the blood 01818 of innocents 05355;
5 They have built 01129 08804 also the high places 01116 of Baal 01168, to burn 08313 08800 their sons 01121 with fire 0784 [for] burnt offerings 05930 unto Baal 01168, which I commanded 06680 08765 not, nor spake 01696 08765 [it], neither came 05927 08804 [it] into my mind 03820:
6 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that this place 04725 shall no more be called 07121 08735 Tophet 08612, nor The valley 01516 of the son 01121 of Hinnom 02011, but The valley 01516 of slaughter 02028.
7 And I will make void 01238 08804 the counsel 06098 of Judah 03063 and Jerusalem 03389 in this place 04725; and I will cause them to fall 05307 08689 by the sword 02719 before 06440 their enemies 0341 08802, and by the hands 03027 of them that seek 01245 08764 their lives 05315: and their carcases 05038 will I give 05414 08804 to be meat 03978 for the fowls 05775 of the heaven 08064, and for the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776.
8 And I will make 07760 08804 this city 05892 desolate 08047, and an hissing 08322; every one that passeth 05674 08802 thereby shall be astonished 08074 08799 and hiss 08319 08799 because of all the plagues 04347 thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat 0398 08689 the flesh 01320 of their sons 01121 and the flesh 01320 of their daughters 01323, and they shall eat 0398 08799 every one 0376 the flesh 01320 of his friend 07453 in the siege 04692 and straitness 04689, wherewith their enemies 0341 08802, and they that seek 01245 08764 their lives 05315, shall straiten 06693 08686 them.
10 Then shalt thou break 07665 08804 the bottle 01228 in the sight 05869 of the men 0582 that go 01980 08802 with thee,
11 And shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Even so 03602 will I break 07665 08799 this people 05971 and this city 05892, as [one] breaketh 07665 08799 a potter's 03335 08802 vessel 03627, that cannot 03201 08799 be made whole again 07495 08736: and they shall bury 06912 08799 [them] in Tophet 08612, till [there be] no place 04725 to bury 06912 08800.
12 Thus will I do 06213 08799 unto this place 04725, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and to the inhabitants 03427 08802 thereof, and [even] make 05414 08800 this city 05892 as Tophet 08612:
13 And the houses 01004 of Jerusalem 03389, and the houses 01004 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, shall be defiled 02931 as the place 04725 of Tophet 08612, because of all the houses 01004 upon whose roofs 01406 they have burned incense 06999 08765 unto all the host 06635 of heaven 08064, and have poured out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto other 0312 gods 0430.
14 Then came 0935 08799 Jeremiah 03414 from Tophet 08612, whither the LORD 03068 had sent 07971 08804 him to prophesy 05012 08736; and he stood 05975 08799 in the court 02691 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004; and said 0559 08799 to all the people 05971,
15 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 upon this city 05892 and upon all her towns 05892 all the evil 07451 that I have pronounced 01696 08765 against it, because they have hardened 07185 08689 their necks 06203, that they might not hear 08085 08800 my words 01697.
Jer 20
1 Now Pashur 06583 the son 01121 of Immer 0564 the priest 03548, who [was] also chief 06496 governor 05057 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, heard 08085 08799 that Jeremiah 03414 prophesied 05012 08738 these things 01697.
2 Then Pashur 06583 smote 05221 08686 Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, and put 05414 08799 him in the stocks 04115 that [were] in the high 05945 gate 08179 of Benjamin 01144, which [was] by the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow 04283, that Pashur 06583 brought forth 03318 08686 Jeremiah 03414 out of the stocks 04115. Then said 0559 08799 Jeremiah 03414 unto him, The LORD 03068 hath not called 07121 08804 thy name 08034 Pashur 06583, but Magormissabib 04036.
4 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will make 05414 08802 thee a terror 04032 to thyself, and to all thy friends 0157 08802: and they shall fall 05307 08804 by the sword 02719 of their enemies 0341 08802, and thine eyes 05869 shall behold 07200 08802 [it]: and I will give 05414 08799 all Judah 03063 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall carry them captive 01540 08689 into Babylon 0894, and shall slay 05221 08689 them with the sword 02719.
5 Moreover I will deliver 05414 08804 all the strength 02633 of this city 05892, and all the labours 03018 thereof, and all the precious things 03366 thereof, and all the treasures 0214 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063 will I give 05414 08799 into the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341 08802, which shall spoil 0962 08804 them, and take 03947 08804 them, and carry 0935 08689 them to Babylon 0894.
6 And thou, Pashur 06583, and all that dwell 03427 08802 in thine house 01004 shall go 03212 08799 into captivity 07628: and thou shalt come 0935 08799 to Babylon 0894, and there thou shalt die 04191 08799, and shalt be buried 06912 08735 there, thou, and all thy friends 0157 08802, to whom thou hast prophesied 05012 08738 lies 08267.
7 O LORD 03068, thou hast deceived 06601 08765 me, and I was deceived 06601 08735: thou art stronger 02388 08804 than I, and hast prevailed 03201 08799: I am in derision 07814 daily 03117, every one mocketh 03932 08802 me.
8 For since 01767 I spake 01696 08762, I cried out 02199 08799, I cried 07121 08799 violence 02555 and spoil 07701; because the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 was made a reproach 02781 unto me, and a derision 07047, daily 03117.
9 Then I said 0559 08804, I will not make mention 02142 08799 of him, nor speak 01696 08762 any more in his name 08034. But [his word] was in mine heart 03820 as a burning 01197 08802 fire 0784 shut up 06113 08803 in my bones 06106, and I was weary 03811 08738 with forbearing 03557 08771, and I could 03201 08799 not [stay].
10 For I heard 08085 08804 the defaming 01681 of many 07227, fear 04032 on every side 05439. Report 05046 08685, [say they], and we will report 05046 08686 it. All my familiars 0582 07965 watched 08104 08802 for my halting 06763 08676 06761, [saying], Peradventure he will be enticed 06601 08792, and we shall prevail 03201 08799 against him, and we shall take 03947 08799 our revenge 05360 on him.
11 But the LORD 03068 [is] with me as a mighty 01368 terrible one 06184: therefore my persecutors 07291 08802 shall stumble 03782 08735, and they shall not prevail 03201 08799: they shall be greatly 03966 ashamed 0954 08804; for they shall not prosper 07919 08689: [their] everlasting 05769 confusion 03639 shall never be forgotten 07911 08735.
12 But, O LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, that triest 0974 08802 the righteous 06662, [and] seest 07200 08802 the reins 03629 and the heart 03820, let me see 07200 08799 thy vengeance 05360 on them: for unto thee have I opened 01540 08765 my cause 07379.
13 Sing 07891 08798 unto the LORD 03068, praise 01984 08761 ye the LORD 03068: for he hath delivered 05337 08689 the soul 05315 of the poor 034 from the hand 03027 of evildoers 07489 08688.
14 Cursed 0779 08803 [be] the day 03117 wherein I was born 03205 08795: let not the day 03117 wherein my mother 0517 bare 03205 08804 me be blessed 01288 08803.
15 Cursed 0779 08803 [be] the man 0376 who brought tidings 01319 08765 to my father 01, saying 0559 08800, A man 02145 child 01121 is born 03205 08795 unto thee; making him very 08055 08763 glad 08055 08765.
16 And let that man 0376 be as the cities 05892 which the LORD 03068 overthrew 02015 08804, and repented 05162 08738 not: and let him hear 08085 08804 the cry 02201 in the morning 01242, and the shouting 08643 at noontide 06256 06672;
17 Because he slew 04191 08790 me not from the womb 07358; or that my mother 0517 might have been my grave 06913, and her womb 07358 [to be] always 05769 great 02030 [with me].
18 Wherefore came I forth 03318 08804 out of the womb 07358 to see 07200 08800 labour 05999 and sorrow 03015, that my days 03117 should be consumed 03615 08799 with shame 01322?
Jer 21
1 The word 01697 which came unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, when king 04428 Zedekiah 06667 sent 07971 08800 unto him Pashur 06583 the son 01121 of Melchiah 04441, and Zephaniah 06846 the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04641 the priest 03548, saying 0559 08800,
2 Enquire 01875 08798, I pray thee, of the LORD 03068 for us 01157; for Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 maketh war 03898 08737 against us; if so be that the LORD 03068 will deal 06213 08799 with us according to all his wondrous works 06381 08737, that he may go up 05927 08799 from us.
3 Then said 0559 08799 Jeremiah 03414 unto them, Thus shall ye say 0559 08799 to Zedekiah 06667:
4 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will turn back 05437 08688 the weapons 03627 of war 04421 that [are] in your hands 03027, wherewith ye fight 03898 08737 against the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and [against] the Chaldeans 03778, which besiege 06696 08802 you without 02351 the walls 02346, and I will assemble 0622 08804 them into the midst 08432 of this city 05892.
5 And I myself will fight 03898 08738 against you with an outstretched 05186 08803 hand 03027 and with a strong 02389 arm 02220, even in anger 0639, and in fury 02534, and in great 01419 wrath 07110.
6 And I will smite 05221 08689 the inhabitants 03427 08802 of this city 05892, both man 0120 and beast 0929: they shall die 04191 08799 of a great 01419 pestilence 01698.
7 And afterward 0310, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, I will deliver 05414 08799 Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and his servants 05650, and the people 05971, and such as are left 07604 08737 in this city 05892 from the pestilence 01698, from the sword 02719, and from the famine 07458, into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and into the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341 08802, and into the hand 03027 of those that seek 01245 08764 their life 05315: and he shall smite 05221 08689 them with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719; he shall not spare 02347 08799 them, neither have pity 02550 08799, nor have mercy 07355 08762.
8 And unto this people 05971 thou shalt say 0559 08799, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I set 05414 08802 before 06440 you the way 01870 of life 02416, and the way 01870 of death 04194.
9 He that abideth 03427 08802 in this city 05892 shall die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719, and by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698: but he that goeth out 03318 08802, and falleth 05307 08804 to the Chaldeans 03778 that besiege 06696 08802 you, he shall live 02421 08804 08675 02421 08799, and his life 05315 shall be unto him for a prey 07998.
10 For I have set 07760 08804 my face 06440 against this city 05892 for evil 07451, and not for good 02896, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: it shall be given 05414 08735 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall burn 08313 08804 it with fire 0784.
11 And touching the house 01004 of the king 04428 of Judah 03063, [say], Hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068;
12 O house 01004 of David 01732, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Execute 01777 08798 judgment 04941 in the morning 01242, and deliver 05337 08685 [him that is] spoiled 01497 08803 out of the hand 03027 of the oppressor 06231 08802, lest my fury 02534 go out 03318 08799 like fire 0784, and burn 01197 08804 that none can quench 03518 08764 [it], because 06440 of the evil 07455 of your doings 04611.
13 Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitant 03427 08802 of the valley 06010, [and] rock 06697 of the plain 04334, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; which say 0559 08802, Who shall come down 05181 08799 against us? or who shall enter 0935 08799 into our habitations 04585?
14 But I will punish 06485 08804 you according to the fruit 06529 of your doings 04611, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: and I will kindle 03341 08689 a fire 0784 in the forest 03293 thereof, and it shall devour 0398 08804 all things round about 05439 it.
Jer 22
1 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Go down 03381 08798 to the house 01004 of the king 04428 of Judah 03063, and speak 01696 08765 there this word 01697,
2 And say 0559 08804, Hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O king 04428 of Judah 03063, that sittest 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, thou, and thy servants 05650, and thy people 05971 that enter 0935 08802 in by these gates 08179:
3 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Execute 06213 08798 ye judgment 04941 and righteousness 06666, and deliver 05337 08685 the spoiled 01497 08803 out of the hand 03027 of the oppressor 06216: and do no wrong 03238 08686, do no violence 02554 08799 to the stranger 01616, the fatherless 03490, nor the widow 0490, neither shed 08210 08799 innocent 05355 blood 01818 in this place 04725.
4 For if ye do 06213 08799 this thing 01697 indeed 06213 08800, then shall there enter in 0935 08804 by the gates 08179 of this house 01004 kings 04428 sitting 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, riding 07392 08802 in chariots 07393 and on horses 05483, he, and his servants 05650, and his people 05971.
5 But if ye will not hear 08085 08799 these words 01697, I swear 07650 08738 by myself, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that this house 01004 shall become a desolation 02723.
6 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 unto the king's 04428 house 01004 of Judah 03063; Thou [art] Gilead 01568 unto me, [and] the head 07218 of Lebanon 03844: [yet] surely I will make 07896 08799 thee a wilderness 04057, [and] cities 05892 [which] are not inhabited 03427 08738 08675 03427 08737.
7 And I will prepare 06942 08765 destroyers 07843 08688 against thee, every one 0376 with his weapons 03627: and they shall cut down 03772 08804 thy choice 04005 cedars 0730, and cast 05307 08689 [them] into the fire 0784.
8 And many 07227 nations 01471 shall pass 05674 08804 by this city 05892, and they shall say 0559 08804 every man 0376 to his neighbour 07453, Wherefore hath the LORD 03068 done 06213 08804 thus unto this great 01419 city 05892?
9 Then they shall answer 0559 08804, Because they have forsaken 05800 08804 the covenant 01285 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, and worshipped 07812 08691 other 0312 gods 0430, and served 05647 08799 them.
10 Weep 01058 08799 ye not for the dead 04191 08801, neither bemoan 05110 08799 him: [but] weep 01058 08798 sore 01058 08800 for him that goeth away 01980 08802: for he shall return 07725 08799 no more, nor see 07200 08804 his native 04138 country 0776.
11 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 touching 0413 Shallum 07967 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, which reigned 04427 08802 instead of Josiah 02977 his father 01, which went forth 03318 08804 out of this place 04725; He shall not return 07725 08799 thither any more:
12 But he shall die 04191 08799 in the place 04725 whither they have led him captive 01540 08689, and shall see 07200 08799 this land 0776 no more.
13 Woe 01945 unto him that buildeth 01129 08802 his house 01004 by 03808 unrighteousness 06664, and his chambers 05944 by wrong 04941; [that] useth his neighbour's 07453 service 05647 08799 without wages 02600, and giveth 05414 08799 him not for his work 06467;
14 That saith 0559 08802, I will build 01129 08799 me a wide 04060 house 01004 and large 07304 08794 chambers 05944, and cutteth him out 07167 08804 windows 02474; and [it is] cieled 05603 08803 with cedar 0730, and painted 04886 08800 with vermilion 08350.
15 Shalt thou reign 04427 08799, because thou closest 08474 08808 [thyself] in cedar 0730? did not thy father 01 eat 0398 08804 and drink 08354 08804, and do 06213 08804 judgment 04941 and justice 06666, [and] then [it was] well 02896 with him?
16 He judged 01777 08804 the cause 01779 of the poor 06041 and needy 034; then [it was] well 02896 [with him: was] not this to know 01847 me? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
17 But thine eyes 05869 and thine heart 03820 [are] not but for thy covetousness 01215, and for to shed 08210 08800 innocent 05355 blood 01818, and for oppression 06233, and for violence 04835, to do 06213 08800 [it].
18 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 concerning Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063; They shall not lament 05594 08799 for him, [saying], Ah 01945 my brother 0251! or, Ah 01945 sister 0269! they shall not lament 05594 08799 for him, [saying], Ah 01945 lord 0113! or, Ah 01945 his glory 01935!
19 He shall be buried 06912 08735 with the burial 06900 of an ass 02543, drawn 05498 08800 and cast forth 07993 08687 beyond 01973 the gates 08179 of Jerusalem 03389.
20 Go up 05927 08798 to Lebanon 03844, and cry 06817 08798; and lift up 05414 08798 thy voice 06963 in Bashan 01316, and cry 06817 08798 from the passages 05676: for all thy lovers 0157 08764 are destroyed 07665 08738.
21 I spake 01696 08765 unto thee in thy prosperity 07962; [but] thou saidst 0559 08804, I will not hear 08085 08799. This [hath been] thy manner 01870 from thy youth 05271, that thou obeyedst 08085 08804 not my voice 06963.
22 The wind 07307 shall eat up 07462 08799 all thy pastors 07462 08802, and thy lovers 0157 08764 shall go 03212 08799 into captivity 07628: surely then shalt thou be ashamed 0954 08799 and confounded 03637 08738 for all thy wickedness 07451.
23 O inhabitant 03427 08802 of Lebanon 03844, that makest thy nest 07077 08794 in the cedars 0730, how gracious 02603 08738 shalt thou be when pangs 02256 come 0935 08800 upon thee, the pain 02427 as of a woman in travail 03205 08802!
24 [As] I live 02416, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, though Coniah 03659 the son 01121 of Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063 were the signet 02368 upon my right 03225 hand 03027, yet would I pluck 05423 08799 thee thence;
25 And I will give 05414 08804 thee into the hand 03027 of them that seek 01245 08764 thy life 05315, and into the hand 03027 [of them] whose face 06440 thou fearest 03016 08801, even into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778.
26 And I will cast thee out 02904 08689, and thy mother 0517 that bare 03205 08804 thee, into another 0312 country 0776, where ye were not born 03205 08795; and there shall ye die 04191 08799.
27 But to the land 0776 whereunto they desire 05375 08764 08676 05315 to return 07725 08800, thither shall they not return 07725 08799.
28 [Is] this man 0376 Coniah 03659 a despised 0959 08737 broken 05310 08803 idol 06089? [is he] a vessel 03627 wherein [is] no pleasure 02656? wherefore are they cast out 07993 08717, he and his seed 02233, and are cast 02904 08717 into a land 0776 which they know 03045 08804 not?
29 O earth 0776, earth 0776, earth 0776, hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
30 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Write 03789 08798 ye this man 0376 childless 06185, a man 01397 [that] shall not prosper 06743 08799 in his days 03117: for no man 0376 of his seed 02233 shall prosper 06743 08799, sitting 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, and ruling 04910 08802 any more in Judah 03063.
Jer 23
1 Woe 01945 be unto the pastors 07462 08802 that destroy 06 08764 and scatter 06327 08688 the sheep 06629 of my pasture 04830! saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
2 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 against the pastors 07462 08802 that feed 07462 08802 my people 05971; Ye have scattered 06327 08689 my flock 06629, and driven them away 05080 08686, and have not visited 06485 08804 them: behold, I will visit 06485 08802 upon you the evil 07455 of your doings 04611, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
3 And I will gather 06908 08762 the remnant 07611 of my flock 06629 out of all countries 0776 whither I have driven 05080 08689 them, and will bring them again 07725 08689 to their folds 05116; and they shall be fruitful 06509 08804 and increase 07235 08804.
4 And I will set up 06965 08689 shepherds 07462 08802 over them which shall feed 07462 08804 them: and they shall fear 03372 08799 no more, nor be dismayed 02865 08735, neither shall they be lacking 06485 08735, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
5 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will raise 06965 08689 unto David 01732 a righteous 06662 Branch 06780, and a King 04428 shall reign 04427 08804 and prosper 07919 08689, and shall execute 06213 08804 judgment 04941 and justice 06666 in the earth 0776.
6 In his days 03117 Judah 03063 shall be saved 03467 08735, and Israel 03478 shall dwell 07931 08799 safely 0983: and this [is] his name 08034 whereby he shall be called 07121 08799, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS 03072.
7 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that they shall no more say 0559 08799, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416, which brought up 05927 08689 the children 01121 of Israel 03478 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714;
8 But, The LORD 03068 liveth 02416, which brought up 05927 08689 and which led 0935 08689 the seed 02233 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478 out of the north 06828 country 0776, and from all countries 0776 whither I had driven 05080 08689 them; and they shall dwell 03427 08804 in their own land 0127.
9 Mine heart 03820 within 07130 me is broken 07665 08738 because of the prophets 05030; all my bones 06106 shake 07363 08804; I am like a drunken 07910 man 0376, and like a man 01397 whom wine 03196 hath overcome 05674 08804, because 06440 of the LORD 03068, and because of the words 01697 of his holiness 06944.
10 For the land 0776 is full 04390 08804 of adulterers 05003 08764; for because 06440 of swearing 0423 the land 0776 mourneth 056 08804; the pleasant places 04999 of the wilderness 04057 are dried up 03001 08804, and their course 04794 is evil 07451, and their force 01369 [is] not right.
11 For both prophet 05030 and priest 03548 are profane 02610 08804; yea, in my house 01004 have I found 04672 08804 their wickedness 07451, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
12 Wherefore their way 01870 shall be unto them as slippery 02519 [ways] in the darkness 0653: they shall be driven on 01760 08735, and fall 05307 08804 therein: for I will bring 0935 08686 evil 07451 upon them, [even] the year 08141 of their visitation 06486, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
13 And I have seen 07200 08804 folly 08604 in the prophets 05030 of Samaria 08111; they prophesied 05012 08694 in Baal 01168, and caused my people 05971 Israel 03478 to err 08582 08686.
14 I have seen 07200 08804 also in the prophets 05030 of Jerusalem 03389 an horrible thing 08186: they commit adultery 05003 08800, and walk 01980 08800 in lies 08267: they strengthen 02388 08765 also the hands 03027 of evildoers 07489 08688, that none 0376 doth return 07725 08804 from his wickedness 07451: they are all of them unto me as Sodom 05467, and the inhabitants 03427 08802 thereof as Gomorrah 06017.
15 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 concerning the prophets 05030; Behold, I will feed 0398 08688 them with wormwood 03939, and make them drink 08248 08689 the water 04325 of gall 07219: for from the prophets 05030 of Jerusalem 03389 is profaneness 02613 gone forth 03318 08804 into all the land 0776.
16 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Hearken 08085 08799 not unto the words 01697 of the prophets 05030 that prophesy 05012 08737 unto you: they make you vain 01891 08688: they speak 01696 08762 a vision 02377 of their own heart 03820, [and] not out of the mouth 06310 of the LORD 03068.
17 They say 0559 08802 still 0559 08800 unto them that despise 05006 08764 me, The LORD 03068 hath said 01696 08765, Ye shall have peace 07965; and they say 0559 08804 unto every one that walketh 01980 08802 after the imagination 08307 of his own heart 03820, No evil 07451 shall come 0935 08799 upon you.
18 For who hath stood 05975 08804 in the counsel 05475 of the LORD 03068, and hath perceived 07200 08799 and heard 08085 08799 his word 01697? who hath marked 07181 08689 his word 01697, and heard 08085 08799 [it]?
19 Behold, a whirlwind 05591 of the LORD 03068 is gone forth 03318 08804 in fury 02534, even a grievous 02342 08711 whirlwind 05591: it shall fall grievously 02342 08799 upon the head 07218 of the wicked 07563.
20 The anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 shall not return 07725 08799, until he have executed 06213 08800, and till he have performed 06965 08687 the thoughts 04209 of his heart 03820: in the latter 0319 days 03117 ye shall consider 0995 08709 it perfectly 0998.
21 I have not sent 07971 08804 these prophets 05030, yet they ran 07323 08804: I have not spoken 01696 08765 to them, yet they prophesied 05012 08738.
22 But if they had stood 05975 08804 in my counsel 05475, and had caused my people 05971 to hear 08085 08686 my words 01697, then they should have turned 07725 08686 them from their evil 07451 way 01870, and from the evil 07455 of their doings 04611.
23 [Am] I a God 0430 at hand 07138, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and not a God 0430 afar off 07350?
24 Can any 0376 hide 05641 08735 himself in secret places 04565 that I shall not see 07200 08799 him? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068. Do not I fill 04392 heaven 08064 and earth 0776? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
25 I have heard 08085 08804 what the prophets 05030 said 0559 08804, that prophesy 05012 08737 lies 08267 in my name 08034, saying 0559 08800, I have dreamed 02492 08804, I have dreamed 02492 08804.
26 How long shall [this] be 03426 in the heart 03820 of the prophets 05030 that prophesy 05012 08737 lies 08267? yea, [they are] prophets 05030 of the deceit 08649 of their own heart 03820;
27 Which think 02803 08802 to cause my people 05971 to forget 07911 08687 my name 08034 by their dreams 02472 which they tell 05608 08762 every man 0376 to his neighbour 07453, as their fathers 01 have forgotten 07911 08804 my name 08034 for Baal 01168.
28 The prophet 05030 that hath a dream 02472, let him tell 05608 08762 a dream 02472; and he that hath my word 01697, let him speak 01696 08762 my word 01697 faithfully 0571. What [is] the chaff 08401 to the wheat 01250? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
29 [Is] not my word 01697 like 03541 as a fire 0784? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and like a hammer 06360 [that] breaketh 06327 00 the rock 05553 in pieces 06327 08787?
30 Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets 05030, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that steal 01589 08764 my words 01697 every one 0376 from his neighbour 07453.
31 Behold, I [am] against the prophets 05030, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that use 03947 08802 their tongues 03956, and say 05001 08799, He saith 05002 08803.
32 Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy 05012 08737 false 08267 dreams 02472, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and do tell 05608 08762 them, and cause my people 05971 to err 08582 08686 by their lies 08267, and by their lightness 06350; yet I sent 07971 08804 them not, nor commanded 06680 08765 them: therefore they shall not profit 03276 08686 this people 05971 at all 03276 08687, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
33 And when this people 05971, or the prophet 05030, or a priest 03548, shall ask 07592 08799 thee, saying 0559 08800, What [is] the burden 04853 of the LORD 03068? thou shalt then say 0559 08804 unto them, What burden 04853? I will even forsake 05203 08804 you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
34 And [as for] the prophet 05030, and the priest 03548, and the people 05971, that shall say 0559 08799, The burden 04853 of the LORD 03068, I will even punish 06485 08804 that man 0376 and his house 01004.
35 Thus shall ye say 0559 08799 every one 0376 to his neighbour 07453, and every one 0376 to his brother 0251, What hath the LORD 03068 answered 06030 08804? and, What hath the LORD 03068 spoken 01696 08765?
36 And the burden 04853 of the LORD 03068 shall ye mention 02142 08799 no more: for every man's 0376 word 01697 shall be his burden 04853; for ye have perverted 02015 08804 the words 01697 of the living 02416 God 0430, of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 our God 0430.
37 Thus shalt thou say 0559 08799 to the prophet 05030, What hath the LORD 03068 answered 06030 08804 thee? and, What hath the LORD 03068 spoken 01696 08765?
38 But 0518 since ye say 0559 08799, The burden 04853 of the LORD 03068; therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Because ye say 0559 08800 this word 01697, The burden 04853 of the LORD 03068, and I have sent 07971 08799 unto you, saying 0559 08800, Ye shall not say 0559 08799, The burden 04853 of the LORD 03068;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly 05377 08800 forget 05382 08804 you, and I will forsake 05203 08804 you, and the city 05892 that I gave 05414 08804 you and your fathers 01, [and cast you] out of my presence 06440:
40 And I will bring 05414 08804 an everlasting 05769 reproach 02781 upon you, and a perpetual 05769 shame 03640, which shall not be forgotten 07911 08735.
Jer 24
1 The LORD 03068 shewed 07200 08689 me, and, behold, two 08147 baskets 01736 of figs 08384 [were] set 03259 08716 before 06440 the temple 01964 of the LORD 03068, after 0310 that Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had carried away captive 01540 08687 Jeconiah 03204 the son 01121 of Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and the princes 08269 of Judah 03063, with the carpenters 02796 and smiths 04525, from Jerusalem 03389, and had brought 0935 08686 them to Babylon 0894.
2 One 0259 basket 01731 [had] very 03966 good 02896 figs 08384, [even] like the figs 08384 [that are] first ripe 01073: and the other 0259 basket 01731 [had] very 03966 naughty 07451 figs 08384, which could not be eaten 0398 08735, they were so bad 07455.
3 Then said 0559 08799 the LORD 03068 unto me, What seest 07200 08802 thou, Jeremiah 03414? And I said 0559 08799, Figs 08384; the good 02896 figs 08384, very 03966 good 02896; and the evil 07451, very 03966 evil 07451, that cannot be eaten 0398 08735, they are so evil 07455.
4 Again the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me, saying 0559 08800,
5 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Like these good 02896 figs 08384, so will I acknowledge 05234 08686 them that are carried away captive 01546 of Judah 03063, whom I have sent 07971 08765 out of this place 04725 into the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778 for [their] good 02896.
6 For I will set 07760 08804 mine eyes 05869 upon them for good 02896, and I will bring them again 07725 08689 to this land 0776: and I will build 01129 08804 them, and not pull [them] down 02040 08799; and I will plant 05193 08804 them, and not pluck [them] up 05428 08799.
7 And I will give 05414 08804 them an heart 03820 to know 03045 08800 me, that I [am] the LORD 03068: and they shall be my people 05971, and I will be their God 0430: for they shall return 07725 08799 unto me with their whole heart 03820.
8 And as the evil 07451 figs 08384, which cannot be eaten 0398 08735, they are so evil 07455; surely thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, So will I give 05414 08799 Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 of Judah 03063, and his princes 08269, and the residue 07611 of Jerusalem 03389, that remain 07604 08737 in this land 0776, and them that dwell 03427 08802 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714:
9 And I will deliver 05414 08804 them to be removed 02189 08675 02113 into all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776 for [their] hurt 07451, [to be] a reproach 02781 and a proverb 04912, a taunt 08148 and a curse 07045, in all places 04725 whither I shall drive 05080 08686 them.
10 And I will send 07971 08765 the sword 02719, the famine 07458, and the pestilence 01698, among them, till they be consumed 08552 08800 from off the land 0127 that I gave 05414 08804 unto them and to their fathers 01.
Jer 25
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 concerning all the people 05971 of Judah 03063 in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, that [was] the first 07224 year 08141 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894;
2 The which Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 spake 01696 08765 unto all the people 05971 of Judah 03063, and to all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, saying 0559 08800,
3 From the thirteenth 07969 06240 year 08141 of Josiah 02977 the son 01121 of Amon 0526 king 04428 of Judah 03063, even unto this day 03117, that [is] the three 07969 and twentieth 06242 year 08141, the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 hath come unto me, and I have spoken 01696 08762 unto you, rising early 07925 08687 and speaking 01696 08763; but ye have not hearkened 08085 08804.
4 And the LORD 03068 hath sent 07971 08804 unto you all his servants 05650 the prophets 05030, rising early 07925 08687 and sending 07971 08800 [them]; but ye have not hearkened 08085 08804, nor inclined 05186 08689 your ear 0241 to hear 08085 08800.
5 They said 0559 08800, Turn ye again 07725 08798 now every one 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870, and from the evil 07455 of your doings 04611, and dwell 03427 08798 in the land 0127 that the LORD 03068 hath given 05414 08804 unto you and to your fathers 01 for 05704 ever 05769 and ever 05769:
6 And go 03212 08799 not after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430 to serve 05647 08800 them, and to worship 07812 08692 them, and provoke me not to anger 03707 08686 with the works 04639 of your hands 03027; and I will do you no hurt 07489 08686.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened 08085 08804 unto me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; that ye might provoke me to anger 03707 08687 with the works 04639 of your hands 03027 to your own hurt 07451.
8 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Because ye have not heard 08085 08804 my words 01697,
9 Behold, I will send 07971 08802 and take 03947 08804 all the families 04940 of the north 06828, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and Nebuchadrezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, my servant 05650, and will bring 0935 08689 them against this land 0776, and against the inhabitants 03427 08802 thereof, and against all these nations 01471 round about 05439, and will utterly destroy 02763 08689 them, and make 07760 08804 them an astonishment 08047, and an hissing 08322, and perpetual 05769 desolations 02723.
10 Moreover I will take 06 08689 from them the voice 06963 of mirth 08342, and the voice 06963 of gladness 08057, the voice 06963 of the bridegroom 02860, and the voice 06963 of the bride 03618, the sound 06963 of the millstones 07347, and the light 0216 of the candle 05216.
11 And this whole land 0776 shall be a desolation 02723, [and] an astonishment 08047; and these nations 01471 shall serve 05647 08804 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 seventy 07657 years 08141.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy 07657 years 08141 are accomplished 04390 08800, [that] I will punish 06485 08799 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and that nation 01471, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, for their iniquity 05771, and the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778, and will make 07760 08804 it perpetual 05769 desolations 08077.
13 And I will bring 0935 08689 upon that land 0776 all my words 01697 which I have pronounced 01696 08765 against it, [even] all that is written 03789 08803 in this book 05612, which Jeremiah 03414 hath prophesied 05012 08738 against all the nations 01471.
14 For many 07227 nations 01471 and great 01419 kings 04428 shall serve 05647 08804 themselves of them also: and I will recompense 07999 08765 them according to their deeds 06467, and according to the works 04639 of their own hands 03027.
15 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478 unto me; Take 03947 08798 the wine 03196 cup 03563 of this fury 02534 at my hand 03027, and cause all the nations 01471, to whom I send 07971 08802 thee, to drink 08248 08689 it.
16 And they shall drink 08354 08804, and be moved 01607 08707, and be mad 01984 08703, because 06440 of the sword 02719 that I will send 07971 08802 among them.
17 Then took 03947 08799 I the cup 03563 at the LORD'S 03068 hand 03027, and made all the nations 01471 to drink 08248 08686, unto whom the LORD 03068 had sent 07971 08804 me:
18 [To wit], Jerusalem 03389, and the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and the kings 04428 thereof, and the princes 08269 thereof, to make 05414 08800 them a desolation 02723, an astonishment 08047, an hissing 08322, and a curse 07045; as [it is] this day 03117;
19 Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, and his servants 05650, and his princes 08269, and all his people 05971;
20 And all the mingled 06153 people, and all the kings 04428 of the land 0776 of Uz 05780, and all the kings 04428 of the land 0776 of the Philistines 06430, and Ashkelon 0831, and Azzah 05804, and Ekron 06138, and the remnant 07611 of Ashdod 0795,
21 Edom 0123, and Moab 04124, and the children 01121 of Ammon 05983,
22 And all the kings 04428 of Tyrus 06865, and all the kings 04428 of Zidon 06721, and the kings 04428 of the isles 0339 which [are] beyond 05676 the sea 03220,
23 Dedan 01719, and Tema 08485, and Buz 0938, and all [that are] in the utmost 07112 08803 corners 06285,
24 And all the kings 04428 of Arabia 06152, and all the kings 04428 of the mingled people 06153 that dwell 07931 08802 in the desert 04057,
25 And all the kings 04428 of Zimri 02174, and all the kings 04428 of Elam 05867, and all the kings 04428 of the Medes 04074,
26 And all the kings 04428 of the north 06828, far 07350 and near 07138, one 0376 with another 0251, and all the kingdoms 04467 of the world 0776, which [are] upon the face 06440 of the earth 0127: and the king 04428 of Sheshach 08347 shall drink 08354 08799 after 0310 them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Drink 08354 08798 ye, and be drunken 07937 08798, and spue 07006 08798, and fall 05307 08798, and rise 06965 08799 no more, because 06440 of the sword 02719 which I will send 07971 08802 among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse 03985 08762 to take 03947 08800 the cup 03563 at thine hand 03027 to drink 08354 08800, then shalt thou say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Ye shall certainly 08354 08800 drink 08354 08799.
29 For, lo, I begin 02490 08688 to bring evil 07489 08687 on the city 05892 which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, and should ye be utterly 05352 08736 unpunished 05352 08735? Ye shall not be unpunished 05352 08736: for I will call 07121 08802 for a sword 02719 upon all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the earth 0776, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
30 Therefore prophesy 05012 08735 thou against them all these words 01697, and say 0559 08804 unto them, The LORD 03068 shall roar 07580 08799 from on high 04791, and utter 05414 08799 his voice 06963 from his holy 06944 habitation 04583; he shall mightily 07580 08800 roar 07580 08799 upon his habitation 05116; he shall give 06030 08799 a shout 01959, as they that tread 01869 08802 [the grapes], against all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the earth 0776.
31 A noise 07588 shall come 0935 08804 [even] to the ends 07097 of the earth 0776; for the LORD 03068 hath a controversy 07379 with the nations 01471, he will plead 08199 08737 with all flesh 01320; he will give 05414 08804 them [that are] wicked 07563 to the sword 02719, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
32 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Behold, evil 07451 shall go forth 03318 08802 from nation 01471 to nation 01471, and a great 01419 whirlwind 05591 shall be raised up 05782 08735 from the coasts 03411 of the earth 0776.
33 And the slain 02491 of the LORD 03068 shall be at that day 03117 from [one] end 07097 of the earth 0776 even unto the [other] end 07097 of the earth 0776: they shall not be lamented 05594 08735, neither gathered 0622 08735, nor buried 06912 08735; they shall be dung 01828 upon 06440 the ground 0127.
34 Howl 03213 08685, ye shepherds 07462 08802, and cry 02199 08798; and wallow 06428 08690 yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal 0117 of the flock 06629: for the days 03117 of your slaughter 02873 08800 and of your dispersions 08600 are accomplished 04390 08804; and ye shall fall 05307 08804 like a pleasant 02532 vessel 03627.
35 And the shepherds 07462 08802 shall have no way 04498 to flee 06 08804, nor the principal 0117 of the flock 06629 to escape 06413.
36 A voice 06963 of the cry 06818 of the shepherds 07462 08802, and an howling 03215 of the principal 0117 of the flock 06629, [shall be heard]: for the LORD 03068 hath spoiled 07703 08802 their pasture 04830.
37 And the peaceable 07965 habitations 04999 are cut down 01826 08738 because 06440 of the fierce 02740 anger 0639 of the LORD 03068.
38 He hath forsaken 05800 08804 his covert 05520, as the lion 03715: for their land 0776 is desolate 08047 because 06440 of the fierceness 02740 of the oppressor 03238 08802, and because 06440 of his fierce 02740 anger 0639.
Jer 26
1 In the beginning 07225 of the reign 04468 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063 came this word 01697 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Stand 05975 08798 in the court 02691 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, and speak 01696 08765 unto all the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, which come 0935 08802 to worship 07812 08692 in the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, all the words 01697 that I command 06680 08765 thee to speak 01696 08763 unto them; diminish 01639 08799 not a word 01697:
3 If so be they will hearken 08085 08799, and turn 07725 08799 every man 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870, that I may repent 05162 08738 me of the evil 07451, which I purpose 02803 08802 to do 06213 08800 unto them because 06440 of the evil 07455 of their doings 04611.
4 And thou shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; If ye will not hearken 08085 08799 to me, to walk 03212 08800 in my law 08451, which I have set 05414 08804 before 06440 you,
5 To hearken 08085 08800 to the words 01697 of my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, whom I sent 07971 08802 unto you, both rising up early 07925 08687, and sending 07971 08800 [them], but ye have not hearkened 08085 08804;
6 Then will I make 05414 08804 this house 01004 like Shiloh 07887, and will make 05414 08799 this city 05892 a curse 07045 to all the nations 01471 of the earth 0776.
7 So the priests 03548 and the prophets 05030 and all the people 05971 heard 08085 08799 Jeremiah 03414 speaking 01696 08764 these words 01697 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah 03414 had made an end 03615 08763 of speaking 01696 08763 all that the LORD 03068 had commanded 06680 08765 [him] to speak 01696 08763 unto all the people 05971, that the priests 03548 and the prophets 05030 and all the people 05971 took 08610 08799 him, saying 0559 08800, Thou shalt surely 04191 08800 die 04191 08799.
9 Why hast thou prophesied 05012 08738 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800, This house 01004 shall be like Shiloh 07887, and this city 05892 shall be desolate 02717 08799 without an inhabitant 03427 08802? And all the people 05971 were gathered 06950 08735 against Jeremiah 03414 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
10 When the princes 08269 of Judah 03063 heard 08085 08799 these things 01697, then they came up 05927 08799 from the king's 04428 house 01004 unto the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and sat down 03427 08799 in the entry 06607 of the new 02319 gate 08179 of the LORD'S 03068 [house].
11 Then spake 0559 08799 the priests 03548 and the prophets 05030 unto the princes 08269 and to all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800, This man 0376 [is] worthy 04941 to die 04194; for he hath prophesied 05012 08738 against this city 05892, as ye have heard 08085 08804 with your ears 0241.
12 Then spake 0559 08799 Jeremiah 03414 unto all the princes 08269 and to all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800, The LORD 03068 sent 07971 08804 me to prophesy 05012 08736 against this house 01004 and against this city 05892 all the words 01697 that ye have heard 08085 08804.
13 Therefore now amend 03190 08685 your ways 01870 and your doings 04611, and obey 08085 08798 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430; and the LORD 03068 will repent 05162 08735 him of the evil 07451 that he hath pronounced 01696 08765 against you.
14 As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand 03027: do 06213 08798 with me as seemeth 05869 good 02896 and meet 03477 unto you.
15 But know 03045 08799 ye for certain 03045 08800, that if ye put me to death 04191 08688, ye shall surely bring 05414 08802 innocent 05355 blood 01818 upon yourselves, and upon this city 05892, and upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 thereof: for of a truth 0571 the LORD 03068 hath sent 07971 08804 me unto you to speak 01696 08763 all these words 01697 in your ears 0241.
16 Then said 0559 08799 the princes 08269 and all the people 05971 unto the priests 03548 and to the prophets 05030; This man 0376 [is] not worthy 04941 to die 04194: for he hath spoken 01696 08765 to us in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
17 Then rose up 06965 08799 certain 0582 of the elders 02205 of the land 0776, and spake 0559 08799 to all the assembly 06951 of the people 05971, saying 0559 08800,
18 Micah 04320 the Morasthite 04183 prophesied 05012 08737 in the days 03117 of Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and spake 0559 08799 to all the people 05971 of Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Zion 06726 shall be plowed 02790 08735 [like] a field 07704, and Jerusalem 03389 shall become heaps 05856, and the mountain 02022 of the house 01004 as the high places 01116 of a forest 03293.
19 Did Hezekiah 02396 king 04428 of Judah 03063 and all Judah 03063 put him at all 04191 08687 to death 04191 08689? did he not fear 03373 the LORD 03068, and besought 02470 08762 the LORD 03068 06440, and the LORD 03068 repented 05162 08735 him of the evil 07451 which he had pronounced 01696 08765 against them? Thus 0587 might we procure 06213 08802 great 01419 evil 07451 against our souls 05315.
20 And there was also a man 0376 that prophesied 05012 08693 in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, Urijah 0223 the son 01121 of Shemaiah 08098 of Kirjathjearim 07157, who prophesied 05012 08735 against this city 05892 and against this land 0776 according to all the words 01697 of Jeremiah 03414:
21 And when Jehoiakim 03079 the king 04428, with all his mighty men 01368, and all the princes 08269, heard 08085 08799 his words 01697, the king 04428 sought 01245 08762 to put him to death 04191 08687: but when Urijah 0223 heard 08085 08799 it, he was afraid 03372 08799, and fled 01272 08799, and went 0935 08799 into Egypt 04714;
22 And Jehoiakim 03079 the king 04428 sent 07971 08799 men 0582 into Egypt 04714, [namely], Elnathan 0494 the son 01121 of Achbor 05907, and [certain] men 0582 with him into Egypt 04714.
23 And they fetched forth 03318 08686 Urijah 0223 out of Egypt 04714, and brought 0935 08686 him unto Jehoiakim 03079 the king 04428; who slew 05221 08686 him with the sword 02719, and cast 07993 08686 his dead body 05038 into the graves 06913 of the common 01121 people 05971.
24 Nevertheless the hand 03027 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227 was with Jeremiah 03414, that they should not give 05414 08800 him into the hand 03027 of the people 05971 to put him to death 04191 08687.
Jer 27
1 In the beginning 07225 of the reign 04467 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063 came this word 01697 unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 to me; Make 06213 08798 thee bonds 04147 and yokes 04133, and put 05414 08804 them upon thy neck 06677,
3 And send 07971 08765 them to the king 04428 of Edom 0123, and to the king 04428 of Moab 04124, and to the king 04428 of the Ammonites 01121 05983, and to the king 04428 of Tyrus 06865, and to the king 04428 of Zidon 06721, by the hand 03027 of the messengers 04397 which come 0935 08802 to Jerusalem 03389 unto Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063;
4 And command 06680 08765 them to say 0559 08800 unto their masters 0113, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Thus shall ye say 0559 08799 unto your masters 0113;
5 I have made 06213 08804 the earth 0776, the man 0120 and the beast 0929 that [are] upon 06440 the ground 0776, by my great 01419 power 03581 and by my outstretched 05186 08803 arm 02220, and have given 05414 08804 it unto whom it seemed 05869 meet 03474 08804 unto me.
6 And now have I given 05414 08804 all these lands 0776 into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadnezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, my servant 05650; and the beasts 02416 of the field 07704 have I given 05414 08804 him also to serve 05647 08800 him.
7 And all nations 01471 shall serve 05647 08804 him, and his son 01121, and his son's 01121 son 01121, until the very time 06256 of his land 0776 come 0935 08800: and then many 07227 nations 01471 and great 01419 kings 04428 shall serve 05647 08804 themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation 01471 and kingdom 04467 which will not serve 05647 08799 the same Nebuchadnezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and that will not put 05414 08799 their neck 06677 under the yoke 05923 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, that nation 01471 will I punish 06485 08799, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, with the sword 02719, and with the famine 07458, and with the pestilence 01698, until I have consumed 08552 08800 them by his hand 03027.
9 Therefore hearken 08085 08799 not ye to your prophets 05030, nor to your diviners 07080 08802, nor to your dreamers 02472, nor to your enchanters 06049 08781, nor to your sorcerers 03786, which speak 0559 08802 unto you, saying 0559 08800, Ye shall not serve 05647 08799 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894:
10 For they prophesy 05012 08737 a lie 08267 unto you, to remove you far 07368 08687 from your land 0127; and that I should drive you out 05080 08689, and ye should perish 06 08804.
11 But the nations 01471 that bring 0935 08686 their neck 06677 under the yoke 05923 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and serve 05647 08804 him, those will I let remain still 03240 08689 in their own land 0127, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and they shall till 05647 08804 it, and dwell 03427 08804 therein.
12 I spake 01696 08765 also to Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 according to all these words 01697, saying 0559 08800, Bring 0935 08685 your necks 06677 under the yoke 05923 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and serve 05647 08798 him and his people 05971, and live 02421 08798.
13 Why will ye die 04191 08799, thou and thy people 05971, by the sword 02719, by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698, as the LORD 03068 hath spoken 01696 08765 against the nation 01471 that will not serve 05647 08799 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894?
14 Therefore hearken 08085 08799 not unto the words 01697 of the prophets 05030 that speak 0559 08802 unto you, saying 0559 08800, Ye shall not serve 05647 08799 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894: for they prophesy 05012 08737 a lie 08267 unto you.
15 For I have not sent 07971 08804 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, yet they prophesy 05012 08737 a lie 08267 in my name 08034; that I might drive you out 05080 08687, and that ye might perish 06 08804, ye, and the prophets 05030 that prophesy 05012 08737 unto you.
16 Also I spake 01696 08765 to the priests 03548 and to all this people 05971, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Hearken 08085 08799 not to the words 01697 of your prophets 05030 that prophesy 05012 08737 unto you, saying 0559 08800, Behold, the vessels 03627 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004 shall now shortly 04120 be brought again 07725 08716 from Babylon 0894: for they prophesy 05012 08737 a lie 08267 unto you.
17 Hearken 08085 08799 not unto them; serve 05647 08798 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and live 02421 08798: wherefore should this city 05892 be laid waste 02723?
18 But if they [be] prophets 05030, and if the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 be 03426 with them, let them now make intercession 06293 08799 to the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, that the vessels 03627 which are left 03498 08737 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and [in] the house 01004 of the king 04428 of Judah 03063, and at Jerusalem 03389, go 0935 08804 not to Babylon 0894.
19 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 concerning the pillars 05982, and concerning the sea 03220, and concerning the bases 04350, and concerning the residue 03499 of the vessels 03627 that remain 03498 08737 in this city 05892,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 took 03947 08804 not, when he carried away captive 01540 08687 Jeconiah 03204 the son 01121 of Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063 from Jerusalem 03389 to Babylon 0894, and all the nobles 02715 of Judah 03063 and Jerusalem 03389;
21 Yea, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, concerning the vessels 03627 that remain 03498 08737 [in] the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and [in] the house 01004 of the king 04428 of Judah 03063 and of Jerusalem 03389;
22 They shall be carried 0935 08714 to Babylon 0894, and there shall they be until the day 03117 that I visit 06485 08800 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; then will I bring 05927 08689 them up, and restore 07725 08689 them to this place 04725.
Jer 28
1 And it came to pass the same year 08141, in the beginning 07225 of the reign 04467 of Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the fourth 07243 year 08141, [and] in the fifth 02549 month 02320, [that] Hananiah 02608 the son 01121 of Azur 05809 the prophet 05030, which [was] of Gibeon 01391, spake 0559 08804 unto me in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, in the presence 05869 of the priests 03548 and of all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus speaketh 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08800, I have broken 07665 08804 the yoke 05923 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
3 Within two full 03117 years 08141 will I bring again 07725 08688 into this place 04725 all the vessels 03627 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, that Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 took away 03947 08804 from this place 04725, and carried 0935 08686 them to Babylon 0894:
4 And I will bring again 07725 08688 to this place 04725 Jeconiah 03204 the son 01121 of Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063, with all the captives 01546 of Judah 03063, that went 0935 08802 into Babylon 0894, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: for I will break 07665 08799 the yoke 05923 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
5 Then the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 unto the prophet 05030 Hananiah 02608 in the presence 05869 of the priests 03548, and in the presence 05869 of all the people 05971 that stood 05975 08802 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068,
6 Even the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799, Amen 0543: the LORD 03068 do 06213 08799 so: the LORD 03068 perform 06965 08686 thy words 01697 which thou hast prophesied 05012 08738, to bring again 07725 08687 the vessels 03627 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, and all that is carried away captive 01473, from Babylon 0894 into this place 04725.
7 Nevertheless hear 08085 08798 thou now this word 01697 that I speak 01696 08802 in thine ears 0241, and in the ears 0241 of all the people 05971;
8 The prophets 05030 that have been before 06440 me and before 06440 thee of old 05769 prophesied 05012 08735 both against many 07227 countries 0776, and against great 01419 kingdoms 04467, of war 04421, and of evil 07451, and of pestilence 01698.
9 The prophet 05030 which prophesieth 05012 08735 of peace 07965, when the word 01697 of the prophet 05030 shall come to pass 0935 08800, [then] 0227 shall the prophet 05030 be known 03045 08735, that the LORD 03068 hath truly 0571 sent 07971 08804 him.
10 Then Hananiah 02608 the prophet 05030 took 03947 08799 the yoke 04133 from off the prophet 05030 Jeremiah's 03414 neck 06677, and brake 07665 08799 it.
11 And Hananiah 02608 spake 0559 08799 in the presence 05869 of all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Even so will I break 07665 08799 the yoke 05923 of Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 from the neck 06677 of all nations 01471 within the space of two full 03117 years 08141. And the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414 went 03212 08799 his way 01870.
12 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jeremiah 03414 [the prophet], after 0310 that Hananiah 02608 the prophet 05030 had broken 07665 08800 the yoke 04133 from off the neck 06677 of the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
13 Go 01980 08800 and tell 0559 08804 Hananiah 02608, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Thou hast broken 07665 08804 the yokes 04133 of wood 06086; but thou shalt make 06213 08804 for them yokes 04133 of iron 01270.
14 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; I have put 05414 08804 a yoke 05923 of iron 01270 upon the neck 06677 of all these nations 01471, that they may serve 05647 08800 Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894; and they shall serve 05647 08804 him: and I have given 05414 08804 him the beasts 02416 of the field 07704 also.
15 Then said 0559 08799 the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414 unto Hananiah 02608 the prophet 05030, Hear 08085 08798 now, Hananiah 02608; The LORD 03068 hath not sent 07971 08804 thee; but thou makest this people 05971 to trust 0982 08689 in a lie 08267.
16 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will cast 07971 08764 thee from off the face 06440 of the earth 0127: this year 08141 thou shalt die 04191 08801, because thou hast taught 01696 08765 rebellion 05627 against the LORD 03068.
17 So Hananiah 02608 the prophet 05030 died 04191 08799 the same year 08141 in the seventh 07637 month 02320.
Jer 29
1 Now these [are] the words 01697 of the letter 05612 that Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 sent 07971 08804 from Jerusalem 03389 unto the residue 03499 of the elders 02205 which were carried away captives 01473, and to the priests 03548, and to the prophets 05030, and to all the people 05971 whom Nebuchadnezzar 05019 had carried away captive 01540 08689 from Jerusalem 03389 to Babylon 0894;
2 (After 0310 that Jeconiah 03204 the king 04428, and the queen 01377, and the eunuchs 05631, the princes 08269 of Judah 03063 and Jerusalem 03389, and the carpenters 02796, and the smiths 04525, were departed 03318 08800 from Jerusalem 03389;)
3 By the hand 03027 of Elasah 0501 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, and Gemariah 01587 the son 01121 of Hilkiah 02518, (whom Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 sent 07971 08804 unto Babylon 0894 to Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894) saying 0559 08800,
4 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, unto all that are carried away captives 01473, whom I have caused to be carried away 01540 08689 from Jerusalem 03389 unto Babylon 0894;
5 Build 01129 08798 ye houses 01004, and dwell 03427 08798 [in them]; and plant 05193 08798 gardens 01593, and eat 0398 08798 the fruit 06529 of them;
6 Take 03947 08798 ye wives 0802, and beget 03205 08685 sons 01121 and daughters 01323; and take 03947 08798 wives 0802 for your sons 01121, and give 05414 08798 your daughters 01323 to husbands 0582, that they may bear 03205 08799 sons 01121 and daughters 01121; that ye may be increased 07235 08798 there, and not diminished 04591 08799.
7 And seek 01875 08798 the peace 07965 of the city 05892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captives 01540 08689, and pray 06419 08690 unto the LORD 03068 for it: for in the peace 07965 thereof shall ye have peace 07965.
8 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Let not your prophets 05030 and your diviners 07080 08802, that [be] in the midst 07130 of you, deceive 05377 08686 you, neither hearken 08085 08799 to your dreams 02472 which ye cause to be dreamed 02492 08688.
9 For they prophesy 05012 08737 falsely 08267 unto you in my name 08034: I have not sent 07971 08804 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
10 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, That after 06310 seventy 07657 years 08141 be accomplished 04390 08800 at Babylon 0894 I will visit 06485 08799 you, and perform 06965 08689 my good 02896 word 01697 toward you, in causing you to return 07725 08687 to this place 04725.
11 For I know 03045 08804 the thoughts 04284 that I think 02803 08802 toward you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, thoughts 04284 of peace 07965, and not of evil 07451, to give 05414 08800 you an expected 08615 end 0319.
12 Then shall ye call 07121 08804 upon me, and ye shall go 01980 08804 and pray 06419 08694 unto me, and I will hearken 08085 08804 unto you.
13 And ye shall seek 01245 08765 me, and find 04672 08804 [me], when ye shall search 01875 08799 for me with all your heart 03824.
14 And I will be found 04672 08738 of you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: and I will turn away 07725 08804 your captivity 07622 08675 07622, and I will gather 06908 08765 you from all the nations 01471, and from all the places 04725 whither I have driven 05080 08689 you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and I will bring you again 07725 08689 into the place 04725 whence I caused you to be carried away captive 01540 08689.
15 Because ye have said 0559 08804, The LORD 03068 hath raised us up 06965 08689 prophets 05030 in Babylon 0894;
16 [Know] that thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of the king 04428 that sitteth 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732, and of all the people 05971 that dwelleth 03427 08802 in this city 05892, [and] of your brethren 0251 that are not gone forth 03318 08804 with you into captivity 01473;
17 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Behold, I will send 07971 08764 upon them the sword 02719, the famine 07458, and the pestilence 01698, and will make 05414 08804 them like vile 08182 figs 08384, that cannot be eaten 0398 08735, they are so evil 07455.
18 And I will persecute 07291 08804 them 0310 with the sword 02719, with the famine 07458, and with the pestilence 01698, and will deliver 05414 08804 them to be removed 02189 08675 02113 to all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776, to be a curse 0423, and an astonishment 08047, and an hissing 08322, and a reproach 02781, among all the nations 01471 whither I have driven 05080 08689 them:
19 Because they have not hearkened 08085 08804 to my words 01697, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, which I sent 07971 08804 unto them by my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, rising up early 07925 08687 and sending 07971 08800 [them]; but ye would not hear 08085 08804, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
20 Hear 08085 08798 ye therefore the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, all ye of the captivity 01473, whom I have sent 07971 08765 from Jerusalem 03389 to Babylon 0894:
21 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, of Ahab 0256 the son 01121 of Kolaiah 06964, and of Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04641, which prophesy 05012 08737 a lie 08267 unto you in my name 08034; Behold, I will deliver 05414 08802 them into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894; and he shall slay 05221 08689 them before your eyes 05869;
22 And of them shall be taken up 03947 08795 a curse 07045 by all the captivity 01546 of Judah 03063 which [are] in Babylon 0894, saying 0559 08800, The LORD 03068 make 07760 08799 thee like Zedekiah 06667 and like Ahab 0256, whom the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 roasted 07033 08804 in the fire 0784;
23 Because they have committed 06213 08804 villany 05039 in Israel 03478, and have committed 06213 08804 adultery 05003 08762 with their neighbours' 07453 wives 0802, and have spoken 01696 08762 lying 08267 words 01697 in my name 08034, which I have not commanded 06680 08765 them; even I know 03045 08802, and [am] a witness 05707, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
24 [Thus] shalt thou also speak 0559 08799 to Shemaiah 08098 the Nehelamite 05161, saying 0559 08800,
25 Thus speaketh 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08800, Because thou hast sent 07971 08804 letters 05612 in thy name 08034 unto all the people 05971 that [are] at Jerusalem 03389, and to Zephaniah 06846 the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04641 the priest 03548, and to all the priests 03548, saying 0559 08800,
26 The LORD 03068 hath made 05414 08804 thee priest 03548 in the stead of Jehoiada 03077 the priest 03548, that ye should be officers 06496 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, for every man 0376 [that is] mad 07696 08794, and maketh himself a prophet 05012 08693, that thou shouldest put 05414 08804 him in prison 04115, and in the stocks 06729.
27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved 01605 08804 Jeremiah 03414 of Anathoth 06069, which maketh himself a prophet 05012 08693 to you?
28 For therefore he sent 07971 08804 unto us [in] Babylon 0894, saying 0559 08800, This 01931 [captivity is] long 0752: build 01129 08798 ye houses 01004, and dwell 03427 08798 [in them]; and plant 05193 08798 gardens 01593, and eat 0398 08798 the fruit 06529 of them.
29 And Zephaniah 06846 the priest 03548 read 07121 08799 this letter 05612 in the ears 0241 of Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030.
30 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
31 Send 07971 08798 to all them of the captivity 01473, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 concerning Shemaiah 08098 the Nehelamite 05161; Because that Shemaiah 08098 hath prophesied 05012 08738 unto you, and I sent 07971 08804 him not, and he caused you to trust 0982 08686 in a lie 08267:
32 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will punish 06485 08802 Shemaiah 08098 the Nehelamite 05161, and his seed 02233: he shall not have a man 0376 to dwell 03427 08802 among 08432 this people 05971; neither shall he behold 07200 08799 the good 02896 that I will do 06213 08802 for my people 05971, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; because he hath taught 01696 08765 rebellion 05627 against the LORD 03068.
Jer 30
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus speaketh 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08800, Write 03789 08798 thee all the words 01697 that I have spoken 01696 08765 unto thee in a book 05612.
3 For, lo, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will bring again 07725 08804 the captivity 07622 of my people 05971 Israel 03478 and Judah 03063, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068: and I will cause them to return 07725 08689 to the land 0776 that I gave 05414 08804 to their fathers 01, and they shall possess 03423 08804 it.
4 And these [are] the words 01697 that the LORD 03068 spake 01696 08765 concerning Israel 03478 and concerning Judah 03063.
5 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; We have heard 08085 08804 a voice 06963 of trembling 02731, of fear 06343, and not of peace 07965.
6 Ask 07592 08798 ye now, and see 07200 08798 whether a man 02145 doth travail with child 03205 08802? wherefore do I see 07200 08804 every man 01397 with his hands 03027 on his loins 02504, as a woman in travail 03205 08802, and all faces 06440 are turned 02015 08738 into paleness 03420?
7 Alas 01945! for that day 03117 [is] great 01419, so that 0369 none [is] like it: it [is] even the time 06256 of Jacob's 03290 trouble 06869; but he shall be saved 03467 08735 out of it.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, [that] I will break 07665 08799 his yoke 05923 from off thy neck 06677, and will burst 05423 08762 thy bonds 04147, and strangers 02114 08801 shall no more serve 05647 08799 themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve 05647 08804 the LORD 03068 their God 0430, and David 01732 their king 04428, whom I will raise up 06965 08686 unto them.
10 Therefore fear 03372 08799 thou not, O my servant 05650 Jacob 03290, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; neither be dismayed 02865 08735, O Israel 03478: for, lo, I will save 03467 08688 thee from afar 07350, and thy seed 02233 from the land 0776 of their captivity 07628; and Jacob 03290 shall return 07725 08804, and shall be in rest 08252 08804, and be quiet 07599 08768, and none shall make [him] afraid 02729 08688.
11 For I [am] with thee, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, to save 03467 08687 thee: though I make 06213 08799 a full end 03617 of all nations 01471 whither I have scattered 06327 08689 thee, yet will I not make 06213 08799 a full end 03617 of thee: but I will correct 03256 08765 thee in measure 04941, and will not leave thee altogether 05352 08763 unpunished 05352 08762.
12 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Thy bruise 07667 [is] incurable 0605 08803, [and] thy wound 04347 [is] grievous 02470 08737.
13 [There is] none to plead 01777 08802 thy cause 01779, that thou mayest be bound up 04205: thou hast no healing 08585 medicines 07499.
14 All thy lovers 0157 08764 have forgotten 07911 08804 thee; they seek 01875 08799 thee not; for I have wounded 05221 08689 thee with the wound 04347 of an enemy 0341 08802, with the chastisement 04148 of a cruel one 0394, for the multitude 07230 of thine iniquity 05771; [because] thy sins 02403 were increased 06105 08804.
15 Why criest 02199 08799 thou for thine affliction 07667? thy sorrow 04341 [is] incurable 0605 08803 for the multitude 07230 of thine iniquity 05771: [because] thy sins 02403 were increased 06105 08804, I have done 06213 08804 these things unto thee.
16 Therefore all they that devour 0398 08802 thee shall be devoured 0398 08735; and all thine adversaries 06862, every one of them, shall go 03212 08799 into captivity 07628; and they that spoil 07601 08802 08675 08154 08802 thee shall be a spoil 04933, and all that prey 0962 08802 upon thee will I give 05414 08799 for a prey 0957.
17 For I will restore 05927 08686 health 0724 unto thee, and I will heal 07495 08799 thee of thy wounds 04347, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; because they called 07121 08804 thee an Outcast 05080 08737, [saying], This [is] Zion 06726, whom no man seeketh after 01875 08802.
18 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will bring again 07725 08802 the captivity 07622 of Jacob's 03290 tents 0168, and have mercy 07355 08762 on his dwellingplaces 04908; and the city 05892 shall be builded 01129 08738 upon her own heap 08510, and the palace 0759 shall remain 03427 08799 after the manner 04941 thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed 03318 08804 thanksgiving 08426 and the voice 06963 of them that make merry 07832 08764: and I will multiply 07235 08689 them, and they shall not be few 04591 08799; I will also glorify 03513 08689 them, and they shall not be small 06819 08799.
20 Their children 01121 also shall be as aforetime 06924, and their congregation 05712 shall be established 03559 08735 before 06440 me, and I will punish 06485 08804 all that oppress 03905 08801 them.
21 And their nobles 0117 shall be of themselves, and their governor 04910 08802 shall proceed 03318 08799 from the midst 07130 of them; and I will cause him to draw near 07126 08689, and he shall approach 05066 08738 unto me: for who [is] this that engaged 06148 08804 his heart 03820 to approach 05066 08800 unto me? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
22 And ye shall be my people 05971, and I will be your God 0430.
23 Behold, the whirlwind 05591 of the LORD 03068 goeth forth 03318 08804 with fury 02534, a continuing 01641 08706 whirlwind 05591: it shall fall with pain 02342 08799 upon the head 07218 of the wicked 07563.
24 The fierce 02740 anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 shall not return 07725 08799, until he have done 06213 08800 [it], and until he have performed 06965 08687 the intents 04209 of his heart 03820: in the latter 0319 days 03117 ye shall consider 0995 08709 it.
Jer 31
1 At the same time 06256, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, will I be the God 0430 of all the families 04940 of Israel 03478, and they shall be my people 05971.
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, The people 05971 [which were] left 08300 of the sword 02719 found 04672 08804 grace 02580 in the wilderness 04057; [even] Israel 03478, when I went 01980 08800 to cause him to rest 07280 08687.
3 The LORD 03068 hath appeared 07200 08738 of old 07350 unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved 0157 08804 thee with an everlasting 05769 love 0160: therefore with lovingkindness 02617 have I drawn 04900 08804 thee.
4 Again I will build 01129 08799 thee, and thou shalt be built 01129 08738, O virgin 01330 of Israel 03478: thou shalt again be adorned 05710 08799 with thy tabrets 08596, and shalt go forth 03318 08804 in the dances 04234 of them that make merry 07832 08764.
5 Thou shalt yet plant 05193 08799 vines 03754 upon the mountains 02022 of Samaria 08111: the planters 05193 08802 shall plant 05193 08804, and shall eat [them] as common things 02490 08765.
6 For there shall be 03426 a day 03117, [that] the watchmen 05341 08802 upon the mount 02022 Ephraim 0669 shall cry 07121 08804, Arise 06965 08798 ye, and let us go up 05927 08799 to Zion 06726 unto the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
7 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Sing 07442 08798 with gladness 08057 for Jacob 03290, and shout 06670 08761 among the chief 07218 of the nations 01471: publish 08085 08685 ye, praise 01984 08761 ye, and say 0559 08798, O LORD 03068, save 03467 08685 thy people 05971, the remnant 07611 of Israel 03478.
8 Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 them from the north 06828 country 0776, and gather 06908 08765 them from the coasts 03411 of the earth 0776, [and] with them the blind 05787 and the lame 06455, the woman with child 02030 and her that travaileth with child 03205 08802 together 03162: a great 01419 company 06951 shall return 07725 08799 thither.
9 They shall come 0935 08799 with weeping 01065, and with supplications 08469 will I lead 02986 08686 them: I will cause them to walk 03212 08686 by the rivers 05158 of waters 04325 in a straight 03477 way 01870, wherein they shall not stumble 03782 08735: for I am a father 01 to Israel 03478, and Ephraim 0669 [is] my firstborn 01060.
10 Hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O ye nations 01471, and declare 05046 08685 [it] in the isles 0339 afar off 04801, and say 0559 08798, He that scattered 02219 08764 Israel 03478 will gather 06908 08762 him, and keep 08104 08804 him, as a shepherd 07462 08802 [doth] his flock 05739.
11 For the LORD 03068 hath redeemed 06299 08804 Jacob 03290, and ransomed 01350 08804 him from the hand 03027 of [him that was] stronger 02389 than he.
12 Therefore they shall come 0935 08804 and sing 07442 08765 in the height 04791 of Zion 06726, and shall flow together 05102 08804 to the goodness 02898 of the LORD 03068, for wheat 01715, and for wine 08492, and for oil 03323, and for the young 01121 of the flock 06629 and of the herd 01241: and their soul 05315 shall be as a watered 07302 garden 01588; and they shall not sorrow 01669 08800 any more 03254 08686 at all.
13 Then shall the virgin 01330 rejoice 08055 08799 in the dance 04234, both young men 0970 and old 02205 together 03162: for I will turn 02015 08804 their mourning 060 into joy 08342, and will comfort 05162 08765 them, and make them rejoice 08055 08765 from their sorrow 03015.
14 And I will satiate 07301 08765 the soul 05315 of the priests 03548 with fatness 01880, and my people 05971 shall be satisfied 07646 08799 with my goodness 02898, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
15 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; A voice 06963 was heard 08085 08738 in Ramah 07414, lamentation 05092, [and] bitter 08563 weeping 01065; Rahel 07354 weeping 01058 08764 for her children 01121 refused 03985 08765 to be comforted 05162 08736 for her children 01121, because they [were] not.
16 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Refrain 04513 08798 thy voice 06963 from weeping 01065, and thine eyes 05869 from tears 01832: for thy work 06468 shall be 03426 rewarded 07939, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and they shall come again 07725 08804 from the land 0776 of the enemy 0341 08802.
17 And there is 03426 hope 08615 in thine end 0319, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that thy children 01121 shall come again 07725 08804 to their own border 01366.
18 I have surely 08085 08800 heard 08085 08804 Ephraim 0669 bemoaning 05110 08711 himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised 03256 08765 me, and I was chastised 03256 08735, as a bullock 05695 unaccustomed 03808 03925 08795 [to the yoke]: turn 07725 08685 thou me, and I shall be turned 07725 08799; for thou [art] the LORD 03068 my God 0430.
19 Surely after 0310 that I was turned 07725 08800, I repented 05162 08738; and after 0310 that I was instructed 03045 08736, I smote 05606 08804 upon [my] thigh 03409: I was ashamed 0954 08804, yea, even confounded 03637 08738, because I did bear 05375 08804 the reproach 02781 of my youth 05271.
20 [Is] Ephraim 0669 my dear 03357 son 01121? [is he] a pleasant 08191 child 03206? for since 01767 I spake 01696 08763 against him, I do earnestly 02142 08800 remember 02142 08799 him still: therefore my bowels 04578 are troubled 01993 08804 for him; I will surely 07355 08763 have mercy 07355 08762 upon him, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
21 Set thee up 05324 08685 waymarks 06725, make 07760 08798 thee high heaps 08564: set 07896 08798 thine heart 03820 toward the highway 04546, [even] the way 01870 [which] thou wentest 01980 08804: turn again 07725 08798, O virgin 01330 of Israel 03478, turn again 07725 08798 to these thy cities 05892.
22 How long wilt thou go about 02559 08691, O thou backsliding 07728 daughter 01323? for the LORD 03068 hath created 01254 08804 a new thing 02319 in the earth 0776, A woman 05347 shall compass 05437 08779 a man 01397.
23 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; As yet they shall use 0559 08799 this speech 01697 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063 and in the cities 05892 thereof, when I shall bring again 07725 08800 their captivity 07622; The LORD 03068 bless 01288 08762 thee, O habitation 05116 of justice 06664, [and] mountain 02022 of holiness 06944.
24 And there shall dwell 03427 08804 in Judah 03063 itself, and in all the cities 05892 thereof together 03162, husbandmen 0406, and they [that] go forth 05265 08804 with flocks 05739.
25 For I have satiated 07301 08689 the weary 05889 soul 05315, and I have replenished 04390 08765 every sorrowful 01669 08804 soul 05315.
26 Upon this I awaked 06974 08689, and beheld 07200 08799; and my sleep 08142 was sweet 06149 08804 unto me.
27 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will sow 02232 08804 the house 01004 of Israel 03478 and the house 01004 of Judah 03063 with the seed 02233 of man 0120, and with the seed 02233 of beast 0929.
28 And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over 08245 08804 them, to pluck up 05428 08800, and to break down 05422 08800, and to throw down 02040 08800, and to destroy 06 08687, and to afflict 07489 08687; so will I watch over 08245 08799 them, to build 01129 08800, and to plant 05193 08800, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
29 In those days 03117 they shall say 0559 08799 no more, The fathers 01 have eaten 0398 08804 a sour grape 01155, and the children's 01121 teeth 08127 are set on edge 06949 08799.
30 But every one 0376 shall die 04191 08799 for his own iniquity 05771: every man 0120 that eateth 0398 08802 the sour grape 01155, his teeth 08127 shall be set on edge 06949 08799.
31 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will make 03772 08804 a new 02319 covenant 01285 with the house 01004 of Israel 03478, and with the house 01004 of Judah 03063:
32 Not according to the covenant 01285 that I made 03772 08804 with their fathers 01 in the day 03117 [that] I took 02388 08687 them by the hand 03027 to bring them out 03318 08687 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714; which my covenant 01285 they brake 06565 08689, although I was an husband 01166 08804 unto them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068:
33 But this [shall be] the covenant 01285 that I will make 03772 08799 with the house 01004 of Israel 03478; After 0310 those days 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, I will put 05414 08804 my law 08451 in their inward parts 07130, and write 03789 08799 it in their hearts 03820; and will be their God 0430, and they shall be my people 05971.
34 And they shall teach 03925 08762 no more every man 0376 his neighbour 07453, and every man 0376 his brother 0251, saying 0559 08800, Know 03045 08798 the LORD 03068: for they shall all know 03045 08799 me, from the least 06996 of them unto the greatest 01419 of them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: for I will forgive 05545 08799 their iniquity 05771, and I will remember 02142 08799 their sin 02403 no more.
35 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, which giveth 05414 08802 the sun 08121 for a light 0216 by day 03119, [and] the ordinances 02708 of the moon 03394 and of the stars 03556 for a light 0216 by night 03915, which divideth 07280 08802 the sea 03220 when the waves 01530 thereof roar 01993 08799; The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 [is] his name 08034:
36 If those ordinances 02706 depart 04185 08799 from before 06440 me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, [then] the seed 02233 of Israel 03478 also shall cease 07673 08799 from being a nation 01471 before 06440 me for ever 03117.
37 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; If heaven 08064 above 04605 can be measured 04058 08735, and the foundations 04146 of the earth 0776 searched out 02713 08735 beneath 04295, I will also cast off 03988 08799 all the seed 02233 of Israel 03478 for all that they have done 06213 08804, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
38 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that the city 05892 shall be built 01129 08738 to the LORD 03068 from the tower 04026 of Hananeel 02606 unto the gate 08179 of the corner 06438.
39 And the measuring 04060 line 06957 08675 06961 shall yet go forth 03318 08804 over against it upon the hill 01389 Gareb 01619, and shall compass about 05437 08738 to Goath 01601.
40 And the whole valley 06010 of the dead bodies 06297, and of the ashes 01880, and all the fields 07709 08675 08309 unto the brook 05158 of Kidron 06939, unto the corner 06438 of the horse 05483 gate 08179 toward the east 04217, [shall be] holy 06944 unto the LORD 03068; it shall not be plucked up 05428 08735, nor thrown down 02040 08735 any more for ever 05769.
Jer 32
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068 in the tenth 06224 year 08141 of Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, which [was] the eighteenth 08083 06240 08141 year 08141 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019.
2 For then the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 army 02428 besieged 06696 08802 Jerusalem 03389: and Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 was shut up 03607 08803 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307, which [was] in the king 04428 of Judah's 03063 house 01004.
3 For Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 had shut him up 03607 08804, saying 0559 08800, Wherefore dost thou prophesy 05012 08737, and say 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, Behold, I will give 05414 08802 this city 05892 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall take 03920 08804 it;
4 And Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 shall not escape 04422 08735 out of the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778, but shall surely 05414 08736 be delivered 05414 08735 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and shall speak 01696 08765 with him mouth 06310 to mouth 06310, and his eyes 05869 shall behold 07200 08799 his eyes 05869;
5 And he shall lead 03212 08686 Zedekiah 06667 to Babylon 0894, and there shall he be until I visit 06485 08800 him, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: though ye fight 03898 08735 with the Chaldeans 03778, ye shall not prosper 06743 08686.
6 And Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799, The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto me, saying 0559 08800,
7 Behold, Hanameel 02601 the son 01121 of Shallum 07967 thine uncle 01730 shall come 0935 08802 unto thee, saying 0559 08800, Buy 07069 08798 thee my field 07704 that [is] in Anathoth 06068: for the right 04941 of redemption 01353 [is] thine to buy 07069 08800 [it].
8 So Hanameel 02601 mine uncle's 01730 son 01121 came 0935 08799 to me in the court 02691 of the prison 04307 according to the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, and said 0559 08799 unto me, Buy 07069 08798 my field 07704, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth 06068, which [is] in the country 0776 of Benjamin 01144: for the right 04941 of inheritance 03425 [is] thine, and the redemption 01353 [is] thine; buy 07069 08798 [it] for thyself. Then I knew 03045 08799 that this [was] the word 01697 of the LORD 03068.
9 And I bought 07069 08799 the field 07704 of Hanameel 02601 my uncle's 01730 son 01121, that [was] in Anathoth 06068, and weighed 08254 08799 him the money 03701, [even] seventeen 07651 06235 shekels 08255 of silver 03701.
10 And I subscribed 03789 08799 the evidence 05612, and sealed 02856 08799 [it], and took 05749 08686 witnesses 05707, and weighed 08254 08799 [him] the money 03701 in the balances 03976.
11 So I took 03947 08799 the evidence 05612 of the purchase 04736, [both] that which was sealed 02856 08803 [according] to the law 04687 and custom 02706, and that which was open 01540 08803:
12 And I gave 05414 08799 the evidence 05612 of the purchase 04736 unto Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374, the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04271, in the sight 05869 of Hanameel 02601 mine uncle's 01730 [son], and in the presence 05869 of the witnesses 05707 that subscribed 03789 08802 the book 05612 of the purchase 04736, before 05869 all the Jews 03064 that sat 03427 08802 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307.
13 And I charged 06680 08762 Baruch 01263 before 05869 them, saying 0559 08800,
14 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Take 03947 08800 these evidences 05612, this evidence 05612 of the purchase 04736, both which is sealed 02856 08803, and this evidence 05612 which is open 01540 08803; and put 05414 08804 them in an earthen 02789 vessel 03627, that they may continue 05975 08799 many 07227 days 03117.
15 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Houses 01004 and fields 07704 and vineyards 03754 shall be possessed again 07069 08735 in this land 0776.
16 Now when 0310 I had delivered 05414 08800 the evidence 05612 of the purchase 04736 unto Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374, I prayed 06419 08691 unto the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
17 Ah 0162 Lord 0136 GOD 03069! behold, thou hast made 06213 08804 the heaven 08064 and the earth 0776 by thy great 01419 power 03581 and stretched out 05186 08803 arm 02220, [and] there is nothing 01697 too hard 06381 08735 for thee:
18 Thou shewest 06213 08802 lovingkindness 02617 unto thousands 0505, and recompensest 07999 08764 the iniquity 05771 of the fathers 01 into the bosom 02436 of their children 01121 after 0310 them: the Great 01419, the Mighty 01368 God 0410, the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, [is] his name 08034,
19 Great 01419 in counsel 06098, and mighty 07227 in work 05950: for thine eyes 05869 [are] open 06491 08803 upon all the ways 01870 of the sons 01121 of men 0120: to give 05414 08800 every one 0376 according to his ways 01870, and according to the fruit 06529 of his doings 04611:
20 Which hast set 07760 08804 signs 0226 and wonders 04159 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, [even] unto this day 03117, and in Israel 03478, and among [other] men 0120; and hast made 06213 08799 thee a name 08034, as at this day 03117;
21 And hast brought forth 03318 08686 thy people 05971 Israel 03478 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 with signs 0226, and with wonders 04159, and with a strong 02389 hand 03027, and with a stretched out 05186 08803 arm 0248, and with great 01419 terror 04172;
22 And hast given 05414 08799 them this land 0776, which thou didst swear 07650 08738 to their fathers 01 to give 05414 08800 them, a land 0776 flowing 02100 08802 with milk 02461 and honey 01706;
23 And they came in 0935 08799, and possessed 03423 08799 it; but they obeyed 08085 08804 not thy voice 06963, neither walked 01980 08804 in thy law 08451; they have done 06213 08804 nothing of all that thou commandedst 06680 08765 them to do 06213 08800: therefore thou hast caused all this evil 07451 to come 07122 08686 upon them:
24 Behold the mounts 05550, they are come 0935 08804 unto the city 05892 to take 03920 08800 it; and the city 05892 is given 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778, that fight 03898 08737 against it, because 06440 of the sword 02719, and of the famine 07458, and of the pestilence 01698: and what thou hast spoken 01696 08765 is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest 07200 08802 [it].
25 And thou hast said 0559 08804 unto me, O Lord 0136 GOD 03069, Buy 07069 08798 thee the field 07704 for money 03701, and take 05749 08685 witnesses 05707; for the city 05892 is given 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778.
26 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
27 Behold, I [am] the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of all flesh 01320: is there any thing 01697 too hard 06381 08735 for me?
28 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will give 05414 08802 this city 05892 into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778, and into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall take 03920 08804 it:
29 And the Chaldeans 03778, that fight 03898 08737 against this city 05892, shall come 0935 08804 and set 03341 08689 fire 0784 on this city 05892, and burn 08313 08804 it with the houses 01004, upon whose roofs 01406 they have offered incense 06999 08765 unto Baal 01168, and poured out 05258 08689 drink offerings 05262 unto other 0312 gods 0430, to provoke me to anger 03707 08687.
30 For the children 01121 of Israel 03478 and the children 01121 of Judah 03063 have only done 06213 08802 evil 07451 before 05869 me from their youth 05271: for the children 01121 of Israel 03478 have only provoked me to anger 03707 08688 with the work 04639 of their hands 03027, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
31 For this city 05892 hath been to me [as] a provocation of mine anger 0639 and of my fury 02534 from the day 03117 that they built 01129 08804 it even unto this day 03117; that I should remove 05493 08687 it from before my face 06440,
32 Because of all the evil 07451 of the children 01121 of Israel 03478 and of the children 01121 of Judah 03063, which they have done 06213 08804 to provoke me to anger 03707 08687, they, their kings 04428, their princes 08269, their priests 03548, and their prophets 05030, and the men 0376 of Judah 03063, and the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389.
33 And they have turned 06437 08799 unto me the back 06203, and not the face 06440: though I taught 03925 08763 them, rising up early 07925 08687 and teaching 03925 08763 [them], yet they have not hearkened 08085 08802 to receive 03947 08800 instruction 04148.
34 But they set 07760 08799 their abominations 08251 in the house 01004, which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034, to defile 02930 08763 it.
35 And they built 01129 08799 the high places 01116 of Baal 01168, which [are] in the valley 01516 of the son 01121 of Hinnom 02011, to cause their sons 01121 and their daughters 01323 to pass 05674 08687 through [the fire] unto Molech 04432; which I commanded 06680 08765 them not, neither came 05927 08804 it into my mind 03820, that they should do 06213 08800 this abomination 08441, to cause Judah 03063 to sin 02398 08687.
36 And now therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, concerning this city 05892, whereof ye say 0559 08802, It shall be delivered 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 by the sword 02719, and by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698;
37 Behold, I will gather them out 06908 08764 of all countries 0776, whither I have driven 05080 08689 them in mine anger 0639, and in my fury 02534, and in great 01419 wrath 07110; and I will bring them again 07725 08689 unto this place 04725, and I will cause them to dwell 03427 08689 safely 0983:
38 And they shall be my people 05971, and I will be their God 0430:
39 And I will give 05414 08804 them one 0259 heart 03820, and one 0259 way 01870, that they may fear 03372 08800 me for ever 03117, for the good 02896 of them, and of their children 01121 after 0310 them:
40 And I will make 03772 08804 an everlasting 05769 covenant 01285 with them, that I will not turn away 07725 08799 from them 0310, to do them good 03190 08687; but I will put 05414 08799 my fear 03374 in their hearts 03824, that they shall not depart 05493 08800 from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice 07797 08804 over them to do them good 02895 08687, and I will plant 05193 08804 them in this land 0776 assuredly 0571 with my whole heart 03820 and with my whole soul 05315.
42 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Like as I have brought 0935 08689 all this great 01419 evil 07451 upon this people 05971, so will I bring 0935 08688 upon them all the good 02896 that I have promised 01696 08802 them.
43 And fields 07704 shall be bought 07069 08738 in this land 0776, whereof ye say 0559 08802, [It is] desolate 08077 without man 0120 or beast 0929; it is given 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778.
44 Men shall buy 07069 08799 fields 07704 for money 03701, and subscribe 03789 08800 evidences 05612, and seal 02856 08800 [them], and take 05749 08687 witnesses 05707 in the land 0776 of Benjamin 01144, and in the places about 05439 Jerusalem 03389, and in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the cities 05892 of the mountains 02022, and in the cities 05892 of the valley 08219, and in the cities 05892 of the south 05045: for I will cause their captivity 07622 to return 07725 08686, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
Jer 33
1 Moreover the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jeremiah 03414 the second 08145 time, while he was yet shut up 06113 08803 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 the maker 06213 08802 thereof, the LORD 03068 that formed 03335 08802 it, to establish 03559 08687 it; the LORD 03068 [is] his name 08034;
3 Call 07121 08798 unto me, and I will answer 06030 08799 thee, and shew 05046 08686 thee great 01419 and mighty things 01219 08803, which thou knowest 03045 08804 not.
4 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, concerning the houses 01004 of this city 05892, and concerning the houses 01004 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, which are thrown down 05422 08803 by the mounts 05550, and by the sword 02719;
5 They come 0935 08802 to fight 03898 08736 with the Chaldeans 03778, but [it is] to fill 04390 08763 them with the dead bodies 06297 of men 0120, whom I have slain 05221 08689 in mine anger 0639 and in my fury 02534, and for all whose wickedness 07451 I have hid 05641 08689 my face 06440 from this city 05892.
6 Behold, I will bring 05927 08688 it health 0724 and cure 04832, and I will cure 07495 08804 them, and will reveal 01540 08765 unto them the abundance 06283 of peace 07965 and truth 0571.
7 And I will cause the captivity 07622 of Judah 03063 and the captivity 07622 of Israel 03478 to return 07725 08689, and will build 01129 08804 them, as at the first 07223.
8 And I will cleanse 02891 08765 them from all their iniquity 05771, whereby they have sinned 02398 08804 against me; and I will pardon 05545 08804 all their iniquities 05771, whereby they have sinned 02398 08804, and whereby they have transgressed 06586 08804 against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name 08034 of joy 08342, a praise 08416 and an honour 08597 before all the nations 01471 of the earth 0776, which shall hear 08085 08799 all the good 02896 that I do 06213 08802 unto them: and they shall fear 06342 08804 and tremble 07264 08804 for all the goodness 02896 and for all the prosperity 07965 that I procure 06213 08802 unto it.
10 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Again there shall be heard 08085 08735 in this place 04725, which ye say 0559 08802 [shall be] desolate 02720 without man 0120 and without beast 0929, [even] in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389, that are desolate 08074 08737, without man 0120, and without inhabitant 03427 08802, and without beast 0929,
11 The voice 06963 of joy 08342, and the voice 06963 of gladness 08057, the voice 06963 of the bridegroom 02860, and the voice 06963 of the bride 03618, the voice 06963 of them that shall say 0559 08802, Praise 03034 08685 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635: for the LORD 03068 [is] good 02896; for his mercy 02617 [endureth] for ever 05769: [and] of them that shall bring 0935 08688 the sacrifice of praise 08426 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068. For I will cause to return 07725 08686 the captivity 07622 of the land 0776, as at the first 07223, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068.
12 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Again in this place 04725, which is desolate 02720 without man 0120 and without beast 0929, and in all the cities 05892 thereof, shall be an habitation 05116 of shepherds 07462 08802 causing [their] flocks 06629 to lie down 07257 08688.
13 In the cities 05892 of the mountains 02022, in the cities 05892 of the vale 08219, and in the cities 05892 of the south 05045, and in the land 0776 of Benjamin 01144, and in the places about 05439 Jerusalem 03389, and in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, shall the flocks 06629 pass again 05674 08799 under the hands 03027 of him that telleth 04487 08802 [them], saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068.
14 Behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will perform 06965 08689 that good 02896 thing 01697 which I have promised 01696 08765 unto the house 01004 of Israel 03478 and to the house 01004 of Judah 03063.
15 In those days 03117, and at that time 06256, will I cause the Branch 06780 of righteousness 06666 to grow up 06779 08686 unto David 01732; and he shall execute 06213 08804 judgment 04941 and righteousness 06666 in the land 0776.
16 In those days 03117 shall Judah 03063 be saved 03467 08735, and Jerusalem 03389 shall dwell 07931 08799 safely 0983: and this [is the name] wherewith she shall be called 07121 08799, The LORD our righteousness 03072.
17 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; David 01732 shall never 03808 want 03772 08735 a man 0376 to sit 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of the house 01004 of Israel 03478;
18 Neither shall the priests 03548 the Levites 03881 want 03772 08735 a man 0376 before 06440 me to offer 05927 08688 burnt offerings 05930, and to kindle 06999 08688 meat offerings 04503, and to do 06213 08802 sacrifice 02077 continually 03117.
19 And the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
20 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; If ye can break 06565 08686 my covenant 01285 of the day 03117, and my covenant 01285 of the night 03915, and that there should not be day 03119 and night 03915 in their season 06256;
21 [Then] may also my covenant 01285 be broken 06565 08714 with David 01732 my servant 05650, that he should not have a son 01121 to reign 04427 08802 upon his throne 03678; and with the Levites 03881 the priests 03548, my ministers 08334 08764.
22 As the host 06635 of heaven 08064 cannot be numbered 05608 08735, neither the sand 02344 of the sea 03220 measured 04058 08735: so will I multiply 07235 08686 the seed 02233 of David 01732 my servant 05650, and the Levites 03881 that minister 08334 08764 unto me.
23 Moreover the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
24 Considerest 07200 08804 thou not what this people 05971 have spoken 01696 08765, saying 0559 08800, The two 08147 families 04940 which the LORD 03068 hath chosen 0977 08804, he hath even cast them off 03988 08799? thus they have despised 05006 08799 my people 05971, that they should be no more a nation 01471 before 06440 them.
25 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; If my covenant 01285 [be] not with day 03119 and night 03915, [and if] I have not appointed 07760 08804 the ordinances 02708 of heaven 08064 and earth 0776;
26 Then 01571 will I cast away 03988 08799 the seed 02233 of Jacob 03290, and David 01732 my servant 05650, [so] that I will not take 03947 08800 [any] of his seed 02233 [to be] rulers 04910 08802 over the seed 02233 of Abraham 085, Isaac 03446, and Jacob 03290: for I will cause their captivity 07622 to return 07725 08686 08675 07725 08799, and have mercy 07355 08765 on them.
Jer 34
1 The word 01697 which came unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, when Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and all his army 02428, and all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776 of his dominion 03027 04475, and all the people 05971, fought 03898 08737 against Jerusalem 03389, and against all the cities 05892 thereof, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Go 01980 08800 and speak 0559 08804 to Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and tell 0559 08804 him, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will give 05414 08802 this city 05892 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall burn 08313 08804 it with fire 0784:
3 And thou shalt not escape out 04422 08735 of his hand 03027, but shalt surely 08610 08800 be taken 08610 08735, and delivered 05414 08735 into his hand 03027; and thine eyes 05869 shall behold 07200 08799 the eyes 05869 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and he shall speak 01696 08762 with thee mouth 06310 to mouth 06310, and thou shalt go 0935 08799 to Babylon 0894.
4 Yet hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, O Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063; Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of thee, Thou shalt not die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719:
5 [But] thou shalt die 04191 08799 in peace 07965: and with the burnings 04955 of thy fathers 01, the former 07223 kings 04428 which were before 06440 thee, so shall they burn 08313 08799 [odours] for thee; and they will lament 05594 08799 thee, [saying], Ah 01945 lord 0113! for I have pronounced 01696 08765 the word 01697, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
6 Then Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 spake 01696 08762 all these words 01697 unto Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 in Jerusalem 03389,
7 When the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 army 02428 fought 03898 08737 against Jerusalem 03389, and against all the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 that were left 03498 08737, against Lachish 03923, and against Azekah 05825: for these defenced 04013 cities 05892 remained 07604 08738 of the cities 05892 of Judah 03063.
8 [This is] the word 01697 that came unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, after 0310 that the king 04428 Zedekiah 06667 had made 03772 08800 a covenant 01285 with all the people 05971 which [were] at Jerusalem 03389, to proclaim 07121 08800 liberty 01865 unto them;
9 That every man 0376 should let his manservant 05650, and every man 0376 his maidservant 08198, [being] an Hebrew 05680 or an Hebrewess 05680, go 07971 08763 free 02670; that none should serve 05647 08800 himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew 03064 his brother 0251.
10 Now when all the princes 08269, and all the people 05971, which had entered 0935 08804 into the covenant 01285, heard 08085 08799 that every one 0376 should let his manservant 05650, and every one 0376 his maidservant 08198, go 07971 08763 free 02670, that none should serve 05647 08800 themselves of them any more, then they obeyed 08085 08799, and let [them] go 07971 08762.
11 But afterward 0310 they turned 07725 08799, and caused the servants 05650 and the handmaids 08198, whom they had let go 07971 08765 free 02670, to return 07725 08686, and brought them into subjection 03533 08799 08675 03533 08686 for servants 05650 and for handmaids 08198.
12 Therefore the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
13 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; I made 03772 08804 a covenant 01285 with your fathers 01 in the day 03117 that I brought them forth 03318 08687 out of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, out of the house 01004 of bondmen 05650, saying 0559 08800,
14 At the end 07093 of seven 07651 years 08141 let ye go 07971 08762 every man 0376 his brother 0251 an Hebrew 05680, which hath been sold 04376 08735 unto thee; and when he hath served 05647 08804 thee six 08337 years 08141, thou shalt let him go 07971 08765 free 02670 from thee: but your fathers 01 hearkened 08085 08804 not unto me, neither inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241.
15 And ye were now 03117 turned 07725 08799, and had done 06213 08799 right 03477 in my sight 05869, in proclaiming 07121 08800 liberty 01865 every man 0376 to his neighbour 07453; and ye had made 03772 08799 a covenant 01285 before 06440 me in the house 01004 which is called 07121 08738 by my name 08034:
16 But ye turned 07725 08799 and polluted 02490 08762 my name 08034, and caused every man 0376 his servant 05650, and every man 0376 his handmaid 08198, whom ye had set 07971 08765 at liberty 02670 at their pleasure 05315, to return 07725 08686, and brought them into subjection 03533 08799, to be unto you for servants 05650 and for handmaids 08198.
17 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Ye have not hearkened 08085 08804 unto me, in proclaiming 07121 08800 liberty 01865, every one 0376 to his brother 0251, and every man 0376 to his neighbour 07453: behold, I proclaim 07121 08802 a liberty 01865 for you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, to the sword 02719, to the pestilence 01698, and to the famine 07458; and I will make 05414 08804 you to be removed 02189 08675 02113 into all the kingdoms 04467 of the earth 0776.
18 And I will give 05414 08804 the men 0582 that have transgressed 05674 08802 my covenant 01285, which have not performed 06965 08689 the words 01697 of the covenant 01285 which they had made 03772 08804 before 06440 me, when they cut 03772 08804 the calf 05695 in twain 08147, and passed 05674 08799 between the parts 01335 thereof,
19 The princes 08269 of Judah 03063, and the princes 08269 of Jerusalem 03389, the eunuchs 05631, and the priests 03548, and all the people 05971 of the land 0776, which passed 05674 08802 between the parts 01335 of the calf 05695;
20 I will even give 05414 08804 them into the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341 08802, and into the hand 03027 of them that seek 01245 08764 their life 05315: and their dead bodies 05038 shall be for meat 03978 unto the fowls 05775 of the heaven 08064, and to the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776.
21 And Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 and his princes 08269 will I give 05414 08799 into the hand 03027 of their enemies 0341 08802, and into the hand 03027 of them that seek 01245 08764 their life 05315, and into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 army 02428, which are gone up 05927 08802 from you.
22 Behold, I will command 06680 08764, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and cause them to return 07725 08689 to this city 05892; and they shall fight 03898 08738 against it, and take 03920 08804 it, and burn 08313 08804 it with fire 0784: and I will make 05414 08799 the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 a desolation 08077 without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
Jer 35
1 The word 01697 which came unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068 in the days 03117 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800,
2 Go 01980 08800 unto the house 01004 of the Rechabites 07397, and speak 01696 08765 unto them, and bring 0935 08689 them into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, into one 0259 of the chambers 03957, and give them wine 03196 to drink 08248 08689.
3 Then I took 03947 08799 Jaazaniah 02970 the son 01121 of Jeremiah 03414, the son 01121 of Habaziniah 02262, and his brethren 0251, and all his sons 01121, and the whole house 01004 of the Rechabites 07397;
4 And I brought 0935 08686 them into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, into the chamber 03957 of the sons 01121 of Hanan 02605, the son 01121 of Igdaliah 03012, a man 0376 of God 0430, which [was] by 0681 the chamber 03957 of the princes 08269, which [was] above 04605 the chamber 03957 of Maaseiah 04641 the son 01121 of Shallum 07967, the keeper 08104 08802 of the door 05592:
5 And I set 05414 08799 before 06440 the sons 01121 of the house 01004 of the Rechabites 07397 pots 01375 full 04392 of wine 03196, and cups 03563, and I said 0559 08799 unto them, Drink 08354 08798 ye wine 03196.
6 But they said 0559 08799, We will drink 08354 08799 no wine 03196: for Jonadab 03122 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394 our father 01 commanded 06680 08765 us, saying 0559 08800, Ye shall drink 08354 08799 no wine 03196, [neither ye], nor your sons 01121 for 05704 ever 05769:
7 Neither shall ye build 01129 08799 house 01004, nor sow 02232 08799 seed 02233, nor plant 05193 08799 vineyard 03754, nor have [any]: but all your days 03117 ye shall dwell 03427 08799 in tents 0168; that ye may live 02421 08799 many 07227 days 03117 in 06440 the land 0127 where ye [be] strangers 01481 08802.
8 Thus have we obeyed 08085 08799 the voice 06963 of Jonadab 03082 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394 our father 01 in all that he hath charged 06680 08765 us, to drink 08354 08800 no wine 03196 all our days 03117, we, our wives 0802, our sons 01121, nor our daughters 01323;
9 Nor to build 01129 08800 houses 01004 for us to dwell in 03427 08800: neither have we vineyard 03754, nor field 07704, nor seed 02233:
10 But we have dwelt in 03427 08799 tents 0168, and have obeyed 08085 08799, and done 06213 08799 according to all that Jonadab 03122 our father 01 commanded 06680 08765 us.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came up 05927 08800 into the land 0776, that we said 0559 08799, Come 0935 08798, and let us go 0935 08799 to Jerusalem 03389 for fear 06440 of the army 02428 of the Chaldeans 03778, and for fear 06440 of the army 02428 of the Syrians 0758: so we dwell 03427 08799 at Jerusalem 03389.
12 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
13 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Go 01980 08800 and tell 0559 08804 the men 0376 of Judah 03063 and the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, Will ye not receive 03947 08799 instruction 04148 to hearken 08085 08800 to my words 01697? saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
14 The words 01697 of Jonadab 03082 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394, that he commanded 06680 08765 his sons 01121 not to drink 08354 08800 wine 03196, are performed 06965 08717; for unto this day 03117 they drink 08354 08804 none, but obey 08085 08804 their father's 01 commandment 04687: notwithstanding I have spoken 01696 08765 unto you, rising early 07925 08687 and speaking 01696 08763; but ye hearkened 08085 08804 not unto me.
15 I have sent 07971 08799 also unto you all my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, rising up early 07925 08687 and sending 07971 08800 [them], saying 0559 08800, Return 07725 08798 ye now every man 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870, and amend 03190 08685 your doings 04611, and go 03212 08799 not after 0310 other 0312 gods 0430 to serve 05647 08800 them, and ye shall dwell in 03427 08798 the land 0127 which I have given 05414 08804 to you and to your fathers 01: but ye have not inclined 05186 08689 your ear 0241, nor hearkened 08085 08804 unto me.
16 Because the sons 01121 of Jonadab 03082 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394 have performed 06965 08689 the commandment 04687 of their father 01, which he commanded 06680 08765 them; but this people 05971 hath not hearkened 08085 08804 unto me:
17 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 God 0430 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 upon Judah 03063 and upon all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389 all the evil 07451 that I have pronounced 01696 08765 against them: because I have spoken 01696 08765 unto them, but they have not heard 08085 08804; and I have called 07121 08799 unto them, but they have not answered 06030 08804.
18 And Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08804 unto the house 01004 of the Rechabites 07397, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Because ye have obeyed 08085 08804 the commandment 04687 of Jonadab 03082 your father 01, and kept 08104 08799 all his precepts 04687, and done 06213 08799 according unto all that he hath commanded 06680 08765 you:
19 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Jonadab 03122 the son 01121 of Rechab 07394 shall not want 03772 08735 a man 0376 to stand 05975 08802 before 06440 me for ever 03117.
Jer 36
1 And it came to pass in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, [that] this word 01697 came unto Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, saying 0559 08800,
2 Take 03947 08798 thee a roll 04039 of a book 05612, and write 03789 08804 therein all the words 01697 that I have spoken 01696 08765 unto thee against Israel 03478, and against Judah 03063, and against all the nations 01471, from the day 03117 I spake 01696 08765 unto thee, from the days 03117 of Josiah 02977, even unto this day 03117.
3 It may be that the house 01004 of Judah 03063 will hear 08085 08799 all the evil 07451 which I purpose 02803 08802 to do 06213 08800 unto them; that they may return 07725 08799 every man 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870; that I may forgive 05545 08804 their iniquity 05771 and their sin 02403.
4 Then Jeremiah 03414 called 07121 08799 Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374: and Baruch 01263 wrote 03789 08799 from the mouth 06310 of Jeremiah 03414 all the words 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he had spoken 01696 08765 unto him, upon a roll 04039 of a book 05612.
5 And Jeremiah 03414 commanded 06680 08762 Baruch 01263, saying 0559 08800, I [am] shut up 06113 08803; I cannot 03201 08799 go 0935 08800 into the house 01004 of the LORD 03068:
6 Therefore go 0935 08804 thou, and read 07121 08804 in the roll 04039, which thou hast written 03789 08804 from my mouth 06310, the words 01697 of the LORD 03068 in the ears 0241 of the people 05971 in the LORD'S 03068 house 01004 upon the fasting 06685 day 03117: and also thou shalt read 07121 08799 them in the ears 0241 of all Judah 03063 that come out 0935 08802 of their cities 05892.
7 It may be they will present 05307 08799 their supplication 08467 before 06440 the LORD 03068, and will return 07725 08799 every one 0376 from his evil 07451 way 01870: for great 01419 [is] the anger 0639 and the fury 02534 that the LORD 03068 hath pronounced 01696 08765 against this people 05971.
8 And Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374 did 06213 08799 according to all that Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 commanded 06680 08765 him, reading 07121 08800 in the book 05612 the words 01697 of the LORD 03068 in the LORD'S 03068 house 01004.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth 02549 year 08141 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the ninth 08671 month 02320, [that] they proclaimed 07121 08804 a fast 06685 before 06440 the LORD 03068 to all the people 05971 in Jerusalem 03389, and to all the people 05971 that came 0935 08802 from the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 unto Jerusalem 03389.
10 Then read 07121 08799 Baruch 01263 in the book 05612 the words 01697 of Jeremiah 03414 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, in the chamber 03957 of Gemariah 01587 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227 the scribe 05608 08802, in the higher 05945 court 02691, at the entry 06607 of the new 02319 gate 08179 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004, in the ears 0241 of all the people 05971.
11 When Michaiah 04321 the son 01121 of Gemariah 01587, the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, had heard 08085 08799 out of the book 05612 all the words 01697 of the LORD 03068,
12 Then he went down 03381 08799 into the king's 04428 house 01004, into the scribe's 05608 08802 chamber 03957: and, lo, all the princes 08269 sat 03427 08802 there, [even] Elishama 0476 the scribe 05608 08802, and Delaiah 01806 the son 01121 of Shemaiah 08098, and Elnathan 0494 the son 01121 of Achbor 05907, and Gemariah 01587 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, and Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Hananiah 02608, and all the princes 08269.
13 Then Michaiah 04321 declared 05046 08686 unto them all the words 01697 that he had heard 08085 08804, when Baruch 01263 read 07121 08800 the book 05612 in the ears 0241 of the people 05971.
14 Therefore all the princes 08269 sent 07971 08799 Jehudi 03065 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, the son 01121 of Shelemiah 08018, the son 01121 of Cushi 03570, unto Baruch 01263, saying 0559 08800, Take 03947 08798 in thine hand 03027 the roll 04039 wherein thou hast read 07121 08804 in the ears 0241 of the people 05971, and come 03212 08798. So Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374 took 03947 08799 the roll 04039 in his hand 03027, and came 0935 08799 unto them.
15 And they said 0559 08799 unto him, Sit down 03427 08798 now, and read 07121 08798 it in our ears 0241. So Baruch 01263 read 07121 08799 [it] in their ears 0241.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard 08085 08800 all the words 01697, they were afraid 06342 08804 both 0413 one 0376 and other 07453, and said 0559 08799 unto Baruch 01263, We will surely 05046 08687 tell 05046 08686 the king 04428 of all these words 01697.
17 And they asked 07592 08804 Baruch 01263, saying 0559 08800, Tell 05046 08685 us now, How didst thou write 03789 08804 all these words 01697 at his mouth 06310?
18 Then Baruch 01263 answered 0559 08799 them, He pronounced 07121 08799 all these words 01697 unto me with his mouth 06310, and I wrote 03789 08802 [them] with ink 01773 in the book 05612.
19 Then said 0559 08799 the princes 08269 unto Baruch 01263, Go 03212 08798, hide 05641 08734 thee, thou and Jeremiah 03414; and let no man 0376 know 03045 08799 where 0375 ye be.
20 And they went in 0935 08799 to the king 04428 into the court 02691, but they laid up 06485 08689 the roll 04039 in the chamber 03957 of Elishama 0476 the scribe 05608 08802, and told 05046 08686 all the words 01697 in the ears 0241 of the king 04428.
21 So the king 04428 sent 07971 08799 Jehudi 03065 to fetch 03947 08800 the roll 04039: and he took 03947 08799 it out of Elishama 0476 the scribe's 05608 08802 chamber 03957. And Jehudi 03065 read 07121 08799 it in the ears 0241 of the king 04428, and in the ears 0241 of all the princes 08269 which stood 05975 08802 beside 05921 the king 04428.
22 Now the king 04428 sat 03427 08802 in the winterhouse 01004 02779 in the ninth 08671 month 02320: and [there was a fire] on the hearth 0254 burning 01197 08794 before 06440 him.
23 And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi 03065 had read 07121 08800 three 07969 or four 0702 leaves 01817, he cut 07167 08799 it with the penknife 08593 05608 08802, and cast 07993 08687 [it] into the fire 0784 that [was] on the hearth 0254, until all the roll 04039 was consumed 08552 08800 in the fire 0784 that [was] on the hearth 0254.
24 Yet they were not afraid 06342 08804, nor rent 07167 08804 their garments 0899, [neither] the king 04428, nor any of his servants 05650 that heard 08085 08802 all these words 01697.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan 0494 and Delaiah 01806 and Gemariah 01587 had made intercession 06293 08689 to the king 04428 that he would not burn 08313 08800 the roll 04039: but he would not hear 08085 08804 them.
26 But the king 04428 commanded 06680 08762 Jerahmeel 03396 the son 01121 of Hammelech 04429, and Seraiah 08304 the son 01121 of Azriel 05837, and Shelemiah 08018 the son 01121 of Abdeel 05655, to take 03947 08800 Baruch 01263 the scribe 05608 08802 and Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030: but the LORD 03068 hid 05641 08686 them.
27 Then the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came to Jeremiah 03414, after 0310 that the king 04428 had burned 08313 08800 the roll 04039, and the words 01697 which Baruch 01263 wrote 03789 08804 at the mouth 06310 of Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
28 Take 03947 08798 thee again 07725 08798 another 0312 roll 04039, and write 03789 08798 in it all the former 07223 words 01697 that were in the first 07223 roll 04039, which Jehoiakim 03079 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 hath burned 08313 08804.
29 And thou shalt say 0559 08799 to Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Thou hast burned 08313 08804 this roll 04039, saying 0559 08800, Why hast thou written 03789 08804 therein, saying 0559 08800, The king 04428 of Babylon 0894 shall certainly 0935 08800 come 0935 08799 and destroy 07843 08689 this land 0776, and shall cause to cease 07673 08689 from thence man 0120 and beast 0929?
30 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063; He shall have none to sit 03427 08802 upon the throne 03678 of David 01732: and his dead body 05038 shall be cast out 07993 08716 in the day 03117 to the heat 02721, and in the night 03915 to the frost 07140.
31 And I will punish 06485 08804 him and his seed 02233 and his servants 05650 for their iniquity 05771; and I will bring 0935 08689 upon them, and upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389, and upon the men 0376 of Judah 03063, all the evil 07451 that I have pronounced 01696 08765 against them; but they hearkened 08085 08804 not.
32 Then took 03947 08804 Jeremiah 03414 another 0312 roll 04039, and gave 05414 08799 it to Baruch 01263 the scribe 05608 08802, the son 01121 of Neriah 05374; who wrote 03789 08799 therein from the mouth 06310 of Jeremiah 03414 all the words 01697 of the book 05612 which Jehoiakim 03079 king 04428 of Judah 03063 had burned 08313 08804 in the fire 0784: and there were added 03254 08738 besides unto them many 07227 like 01992 words 01697.
Jer 37
1 And king 04428 Zedekiah 06667 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 reigned 04427 08799 instead of Coniah 03659 the son 01121 of Jehoiakim 03079, whom Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 made king 04427 08689 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063.
2 But neither he, nor his servants 05650, nor the people 05971 of the land 0776, did hearken 08085 08804 unto the words 01697 of the LORD 03068, which he spake 01696 08765 by 03027 the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414.
3 And Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 sent 07971 08799 Jehucal 03081 the son 01121 of Shelemiah 08018 and Zephaniah 06846 the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04641 the priest 03548 to the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800, Pray 06419 08690 now unto the LORD 03068 our God 0430 for us.
4 Now Jeremiah 03414 came in 0935 08804 and went out 03318 08802 among 08432 the people 05971: for they had not put 05414 08804 him into prison 01004 03628.
5 Then Pharaoh's 06547 army 02428 was come forth 03318 08804 out of Egypt 04714: and when the Chaldeans 03778 that besieged 06696 08802 Jerusalem 03389 heard 08085 08799 tidings 08088 of them, they departed 05927 08735 from Jerusalem 03389.
6 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto the prophet 05030 Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
7 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Thus shall ye say 0559 08799 to the king 04428 of Judah 03063, that sent 07971 08802 you unto me to enquire 01875 08800 of me; Behold, Pharaoh's 06547 army 02428, which is come forth 03318 08802 to help 05833 you, shall return 07725 08804 to Egypt 04714 into their own land 0776.
8 And the Chaldeans 03778 shall come again 07725 08804, and fight 03898 08738 against this city 05892, and take 03920 08804 it, and burn 08313 08804 it with fire 0784.
9 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Deceive 05377 08686 not yourselves 05315, saying 0559 08800, The Chaldeans 03778 shall surely 01980 08800 depart 03212 08799 from us: for they shall not depart 03212 08799.
10 For though ye had smitten 05221 08689 the whole army 02428 of the Chaldeans 03778 that fight 03898 08737 against you, and there remained 07604 08738 [but] wounded 01856 08794 men 0582 among them, [yet] should they rise up 06965 08799 every man 0376 in his tent 0168, and burn 08313 08804 this city 05892 with fire 0784.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army 02428 of the Chaldeans 03778 was broken up 05927 08736 from Jerusalem 03389 for fear 06440 of Pharaoh's 06547 army 02428,
12 Then Jeremiah 03414 went forth 03318 08799 out of Jerusalem 03389 to go 03212 08800 into the land 0776 of Benjamin 01144, to separate 02505 08687 himself thence in the midst 08432 of the people 05971.
13 And when he was in the gate 08179 of Benjamin 01144, a captain 01167 of the ward 06488 [was] there, whose name 08034 [was] Irijah 03376, the son 01121 of Shelemiah 08018, the son 01121 of Hananiah 02608; and he took 08610 08799 Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, saying 0559 08800, Thou fallest away 05307 08802 to the Chaldeans 03778.
14 Then said 0559 08799 Jeremiah 03414, [It is] false 08267; I fall not away 05307 08802 to the Chaldeans 03778. But he hearkened 08085 08804 not to him: so Irijah 03376 took 08610 08799 Jeremiah 03414, and brought 0935 08686 him to the princes 08269.
15 Wherefore the princes 08269 were wroth 07107 08799 with Jeremiah 03414, and smote 05221 08689 him, and put 05414 08804 him in prison 0612 in the house 01004 of Jonathan 03083 the scribe 05608 08802: for they had made 06213 08804 that the prison 03608.
16 When Jeremiah 03414 was entered 0935 08804 into the dungeon 01004 0953, and into the cabins 02588, and Jeremiah 03414 had remained 03427 08799 there many 07227 days 03117;
17 Then Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 sent 07971 08799, and took him out 03947 08799: and the king 04428 asked 07592 08799 him secretly 05643 in his house 01004, and said 0559 08799, Is there [any] word 01697 from the LORD 03068? And Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799, There is 03426: for, said 0559 08799 he, thou shalt be delivered 05414 08735 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
18 Moreover Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 unto king 04428 Zedekiah 06667, What have I offended 02398 08804 against thee, or against thy servants 05650, or against this people 05971, that ye have put 05414 08804 me in prison 01004 03608?
19 Where [are] now 0346 your prophets 05030 which prophesied 05012 08738 unto you, saying 0559 08800, The king 04428 of Babylon 0894 shall not come 0935 08799 against you, nor against this land 0776?
20 Therefore hear 08085 08798 now, I pray thee, O my lord 0113 the king 04428: let my supplication 08467, I pray thee, be accepted 05307 08799 before 06440 thee; that thou cause me not to return 07725 08686 to the house 01004 of Jonathan 03083 the scribe 05608 08802, lest I die 04191 08799 there.
21 Then Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 commanded 06680 08762 that they should commit 06485 08686 Jeremiah 03414 into the court 02691 of the prison 04307, and that they should give 05414 08800 him daily 03117 a piece 03603 of bread 03899 out of the bakers' 0644 08802 street 02351, until all the bread 03899 in the city 05892 were spent 08552 08800. Thus Jeremiah 03414 remained 03427 08799 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307.
Jer 38
1 Then Shephatiah 08203 the son 01121 of Mattan 04977, and Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Pashur 06583, and Jucal 03116 the son 01121 of Shelemiah 08018, and Pashur 06583 the son 01121 of Malchiah 04441, heard 08085 08799 the words 01697 that Jeremiah 03414 had spoken 01696 08764 unto all the people 05971, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, He that remaineth 03427 08802 in this city 05892 shall die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719, by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698: but he that goeth forth 03318 08802 to the Chaldeans 03778 shall live 02421 08804; for he shall have his life 05315 for a prey 07998, and shall live 02421 08799 08675 02425 08804.
3 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, This city 05892 shall surely 05414 08736 be given 05414 08735 into the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 army 02428, which shall take 03920 08804 it.
4 Therefore the princes 08269 said 0559 08799 unto the king 04428, We beseech thee, let this man 0376 be put to death 04191 08714: for thus 03651 he weakeneth 07503 08764 the hands 03027 of the men 0582 of war 04421 that remain 07604 08737 in this city 05892, and the hands 03027 of all the people 05971, in speaking 01696 08763 such words 01697 unto them: for this man 0376 seeketh 01875 08802 not the welfare 07965 of this people 05971, but the hurt 07451.
5 Then Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 said 0559 08799, Behold, he [is] in your hand 03027: for the king 04428 [is] not [he that] can 03201 08799 do [any] thing 01697 against you.
6 Then took 03947 08799 they Jeremiah 03414, and cast 07993 08686 him into the dungeon 0953 of Malchiah 04441 the son 01121 of Hammelech 04428, that [was] in the court 02691 of the prison 04307: and they let down 07971 08762 Jeremiah 03414 with cords 02256. And in the dungeon 0953 [there was] no water 04325, but mire 02916: so Jeremiah 03414 sunk 02883 08799 in the mire 02916.
7 Now when Ebedmelech 05663 the Ethiopian 03569, one 0376 of the eunuchs 05631 which was in the king's 04428 house 01004, heard 08085 08799 that they had put 05414 08804 Jeremiah 03414 in the dungeon 0953; the king 04428 then sitting 03427 08802 in the gate 08179 of Benjamin 01144;
8 Ebedmelech 05663 went forth 03318 08799 out of the king's 04428 house 01004, and spake 01696 08762 to the king 04428, saying 0559 08800,
9 My lord 0113 the king 04428, these men 0582 have done evil 07489 08689 in all that they have done 06213 08804 to Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, whom they have cast 07993 08689 into the dungeon 0953; and he is like to die 04191 08799 for 06440 hunger 07458 in the place 08478 where he is: for [there is] no more bread 03899 in the city 05892.
10 Then the king 04428 commanded 06680 08762 Ebedmelech 05663 the Ethiopian 03569, saying 0559 08800, Take 03947 08798 from hence thirty 07970 men 0582 with thee 03027, and take up 05927 08689 Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 out of the dungeon 0953, before he die 04191 08799.
11 So Ebedmelech 05663 took 03947 08799 the men 0582 with him 03027, and went 0935 08799 into the house 01004 of the king 04428 under the treasury 0214, and took 03947 08799 thence old 01094 cast clouts 05499 and old 01094 rotten rags 04418, and let them down 07971 08762 by cords 02256 into the dungeon 0953 to Jeremiah 03414.
12 And Ebedmelech 05663 the Ethiopian 03569 said 0559 08799 unto Jeremiah 03414, Put 07760 08798 now [these] old 01094 cast clouts 05499 and rotten rags 04418 under thine armholes 0679 03027 under the cords 02256. And Jeremiah 03414 did 06213 08799 so.
13 So they drew up 04900 08799 Jeremiah 03414 with cords 02256, and took him up 05927 08686 out of the dungeon 0953: and Jeremiah 03414 remained 03427 08799 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307.
14 Then Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 sent 07971 08799, and took 03947 08799 Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 unto him into the third 07992 entry 03996 that [is] in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: and the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto Jeremiah 03414, I will ask 07592 08802 thee a thing 01697; hide 03582 08762 nothing from me.
15 Then Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 unto Zedekiah 06667, If I declare 05046 08686 [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely 04191 08687 put me to death 04191 08686? and if I give thee counsel 03289 08799, wilt thou not hearken 08085 08799 unto me?
16 So Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 sware 07650 08735 secretly 05643 unto Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800, [As] the LORD 03068 liveth 02416, that made 06213 08804 us this soul 05315, I will not put thee to death 04191 08686, neither will I give 05414 08799 thee into the hand 03027 of these men 0582 that seek 01245 08764 thy life 05315.
17 Then said 0559 08799 Jeremiah 03414 unto Zedekiah 06667, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; If thou wilt assuredly 03318 08800 go forth 03318 08799 unto the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 princes 08269, then thy soul 05315 shall live 02421 08804, and this city 05892 shall not be burned 08313 08735 with fire 0784; and thou shalt live 02421 08804, and thine house 01004:
18 But if thou wilt not go forth 03318 08799 to the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 princes 08269, then shall this city 05892 be given 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778, and they shall burn 08313 08804 it with fire 0784, and thou shalt not escape out 04422 08735 of their hand 03027.
19 And Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 said 0559 08799 unto Jeremiah 03414, I am afraid 01672 08802 of the Jews 03064 that are fallen 05307 08804 to the Chaldeans 03778, lest they deliver 05414 08799 me into their hand 03027, and they mock 05953 08694 me.
20 But Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799, They shall not deliver 05414 08799 [thee]. Obey 08085 08798, I beseech thee, the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, which I speak 01696 08802 unto thee: so it shall be well 03190 08799 unto thee, and thy soul 05315 shall live 02421 08799.
21 But if thou refuse 03986 to go forth 03318 08800, this [is] the word 01697 that the LORD 03068 hath shewed 07200 08689 me:
22 And, behold, all the women 0802 that are left 07604 08738 in the king 04428 of Judah's 03063 house 01004 [shall be] brought forth 03318 08716 to the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 princes 08269, and those [women] shall say 0559 08802, Thy friends 0582 07965 have set thee on 05496 08689, and have prevailed 03201 08804 against thee: thy feet 07272 are sunk 02883 08717 in the mire 01206, [and] they are turned away 05472 08738 back 0268.
23 So they shall bring out 03318 08688 all thy wives 0802 and thy children 01121 to the Chaldeans 03778: and thou shalt not escape out 04422 08735 of their hand 03027, but shalt be taken 08610 08735 by the hand 03027 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894: and thou shalt cause this city 05892 to be burned 08313 08799 with fire 0784.
24 Then said 0559 08799 Zedekiah 06667 unto Jeremiah 03414, Let no man 0376 know 03045 08799 of these words 01697, and thou shalt not die 04191 08799.
25 But if the princes 08269 hear 08085 08799 that I have talked 01696 08765 with thee, and they come 0935 08804 unto thee, and say 0559 08804 unto thee, Declare 05046 08685 unto us now what thou hast said 01696 08765 unto the king 04428, hide 03582 08762 it not from us, and we will not put thee to death 04191 08686; also what the king 04428 said 01696 08765 unto thee:
26 Then thou shalt say 0559 08804 unto them, I presented 05307 08688 my supplication 08467 before 06440 the king 04428, that he would not cause me to return 07725 08687 to Jonathan's 03083 house 01004, to die 04191 08800 there.
27 Then came 0935 08799 all the princes 08269 unto Jeremiah 03414, and asked 07592 08799 him: and he told 05046 08686 them according to all these words 01697 that the king 04428 had commanded 06680 08765. So they left off speaking 02790 08686 with him; for the matter 01697 was not perceived 08085 08738.
28 So Jeremiah 03414 abode 03427 08799 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307 until the day 03117 that Jerusalem 03389 was taken 03920 08738: and he was [there] when Jerusalem 03389 was taken 03920 08738.
Jer 39
1 In the ninth 08671 year 08141 of Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the tenth 06224 month 02320, came 0935 08804 Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 and all his army 02428 against Jerusalem 03389, and they besieged 06696 08799 it.
2 [And] in the eleventh 06249 06240 year 08141 of Zedekiah 06667, in the fourth 07243 month 02320, the ninth 08672 [day] of the month 02320, the city 05892 was broken up 01234 08717.
3 And all the princes 08269 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came in 0935 08799, and sat 03427 08799 in the middle 08432 gate 08179, [even] Nergalsharezer 05371, Samgarnebo 05562, Sarsechim 08310, Rabsaris 07249, Nergalsharezer 05371, Rabmag 07248, with all the residue 07611 of the princes 08269 of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
4 And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 saw 07200 08804 them, and all the men 0582 of war 04421, then they fled 01272 08799, and went forth 03318 08799 out of the city 05892 by night 03915, by the way 01870 of the king's 04428 garden 01588, by the gate 08179 betwixt the two walls 02346: and he went out 03318 08799 the way 01870 of the plain 06160.
5 But the Chaldeans' 03778 army 02428 pursued 07291 08799 after 0310 them, and overtook 05381 08686 Zedekiah 06667 in the plains 06160 of Jericho 03405: and when they had taken 03947 08799 him, they brought him up 05927 08686 to Nebuchadnezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 to Riblah 07247 in the land 0776 of Hamath 02574, where he gave 01696 08762 judgment 04941 upon him.
6 Then the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 slew 07819 08799 the sons 01121 of Zedekiah 06667 in Riblah 07247 before his eyes 05869: also the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 slew 07819 08804 all the nobles 02715 of Judah 03063.
7 Moreover he put out 05786 08765 Zedekiah's 06667 eyes 05869, and bound 0631 08799 him with chains 05178, to carry 0935 08687 him to Babylon 0894.
8 And the Chaldeans 03778 burned 08313 08804 the king's 04428 house 01004, and the houses 01004 of the people 05971, with fire 0784, and brake down 05422 08804 the walls 02346 of Jerusalem 03389.
9 Then Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 carried away captive 01540 08689 into Babylon 0894 the remnant 03499 of the people 05971 that remained 07604 08737 in the city 05892, and those that fell away 05307 08802, that fell 05307 08804 to him, with the rest 03499 of the people 05971 that remained 07604 08737.
10 But Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 left 07604 08689 of the poor 01800 of the people 05971, which had nothing 03972, in the land 0776 of Judah 03063, and gave 05414 08799 them vineyards 03754 and fields 03010 at the same time 03117.
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 gave charge 06680 08762 concerning Jeremiah 03414 to 03027 Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876, saying 0559 08800,
12 Take 03947 08798 him, and look well 05869 07760 08798 to him, and do 06213 08799 him no harm 03972 07451; but do 06213 08798 unto him even as he shall say 01696 08762 unto thee.
13 So Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 sent 07971 08799, and Nebushasban 05021, Rabsaris 07249, and Nergalsharezer 05371, Rabmag 07248, and all the king 04428 of Babylon's 0894 princes 07227;
14 Even they sent 07971 08799, and took 03947 08799 Jeremiah 03414 out of the court 02691 of the prison 04307, and committed 05414 08799 him unto Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, that he should carry 03318 08687 him home 01004: so he dwelt 03427 08799 among 08432 the people 05971.
15 Now the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jeremiah 03414, while he was shut up 06113 08803 in the court 02691 of the prison 04307, saying 0559 08800,
16 Go 01980 08800 and speak 0559 08804 to Ebedmelech 05663 the Ethiopian 03569, saying 0559 08800, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 my words 01697 upon this city 05892 for evil 07451, and not for good 02896; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day 03117 before 06440 thee.
17 But I will deliver 05337 08689 thee in that day 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: and thou shalt not be given 05414 08735 into the hand 03027 of the men 0582 of whom 06440 thou [art] afraid 03016 08801.
18 For I will surely 04422 08763 deliver 04422 08762 thee, and thou shalt not fall 05307 08799 by the sword 02719, but thy life 05315 shall be for a prey 07998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust 0982 08804 in me, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
Jer 40
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 from the LORD 03068, after 0310 that Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 had let him go 07971 08763 from Ramah 07414, when he had taken 03947 08800 him being bound 0631 08803 in chains 0246 among 08432 all that were carried away captive 01546 of Jerusalem 03389 and Judah 03063, which were carried away captive 01540 08716 unto Babylon 0894.
2 And the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took 03947 08799 Jeremiah 03414, and said 0559 08799 unto him, The LORD 03068 thy God 0430 hath pronounced 01696 08765 this evil 07451 upon this place 04725.
3 Now the LORD 03068 hath brought 0935 08686 [it], and done 06213 08799 according as he hath said 01696 08765: because ye have sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068, and have not obeyed 08085 08804 his voice 06963, therefore this thing 01697 is come upon you.
4 And now, behold, I loose 06605 08765 thee this day 03117 from the chains 0246 which [were] upon thine hand 03027. If it seem good 02896 05869 unto thee to come 0935 08800 with me into Babylon 0894, come 0935 08798; and I will look well 07760 08799 05869 unto thee: but if it seem ill 07489 08804 05869 unto thee to come 0935 08800 with me into Babylon 0894, forbear 02308 08798: behold 07200 08798, all the land 0776 [is] before 06440 thee: whither it seemeth 0413 good 02896 and convenient 03477 05869 for thee to go 03212 08800, thither go 03212 08798.
5 Now while he was not yet gone back 07725 08799, [he said], Go back 07725 08798 also to Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, whom the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 hath made governor 06485 08689 over the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and dwell 03427 08798 with him among 08432 the people 05971: or go 03212 08798 wheresoever it seemeth convenient 03477 05869 unto thee to go 03212 08800. So the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 gave 05414 08799 him victuals 0737 and a reward 04864, and let him go 07971 08762.
6 Then went 0935 08799 Jeremiah 03414 unto Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 to Mizpah 04708; and dwelt 03427 08799 with him among 08432 the people 05971 that were left 07604 08737 in the land 0776.
7 Now when all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 which [were] in the fields 07704, [even] they and their men 0582, heard 08085 08799 that the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had made Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 governor 06485 08689 in the land 0776, and had committed 06485 08689 unto him men 0582, and women 0802, and children 02945, and of the poor 01803 of the land 0776, of them that were not carried away captive 01540 08717 to Babylon 0894;
8 Then they came 0935 08799 to Gedaliah 01436 to Mizpah 04708, even Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, and Johanan 03110 and Jonathan 03129 the sons 01121 of Kareah 07143, and Seraiah 08304 the son 01121 of Tanhumeth 08576, and the sons 01121 of Ephai 05778 the Netophathite 05200, and Jezaniah 03153 the son 01121 of a Maachathite 04602, they and their men 0582.
9 And Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227 sware 07650 08735 unto them and to their men 0582, saying 0559 08800, Fear 03372 08799 not to serve 05647 08800 the Chaldeans 03778: dwell in 03427 08798 the land 0776, and serve 05647 08798 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and it shall be well 03190 08799 with you.
10 As for me, behold, I will dwell 03427 08802 at Mizpah 04709 to serve 05975 08800 06440 the Chaldeans 03778, which will come 0935 08799 unto us: but ye, gather 0622 08798 ye wine 03196, and summer fruits 07019, and oil 08081, and put 07760 08798 [them] in your vessels 03627, and dwell 03427 08798 in your cities 05892 that ye have taken 08610 08804.
11 Likewise when all the Jews 03064 that [were] in Moab 04124, and among the Ammonites 05983, and in Edom 0123, and that [were] in all the countries 0776, heard 08085 08804 that the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had left 05414 08804 a remnant 07611 of Judah 03063, and that he had set 06485 08689 over them Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227;
12 Even all the Jews 03064 returned out 07725 08799 of all places 04725 whither they were driven 05080 08738, and came 0935 08799 to the land 0776 of Judah 03063, to Gedaliah 01436, unto Mizpah 04708, and gathered 0622 08799 wine 03196 and summer fruits 07019 very 03966 much 07235 08687.
13 Moreover Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 that [were] in the fields 07704, came 0935 08804 to Gedaliah 01436 to Mizpah 04708,
14 And said 0559 08799 unto him, Dost thou certainly 03045 08800 know 03045 08799 that Baalis 01185 the king 04428 of the Ammonites 01121 05983 hath sent 07971 08804 Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 to slay 05221 08687 05315 thee? But Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 believed 0539 08689 them not.
15 Then Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143 spake 0559 08804 to Gedaliah 01436 in Mizpah 04709 secretly 05643, saying 0559 08800, Let me go 03212 08799, I pray thee, and I will slay 05221 08686 Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, and no man 0376 shall know 03045 08799 [it]: wherefore should he slay 05221 08686 05315 thee, that all the Jews 03064 which are gathered 06908 08737 unto thee should be scattered 06327 08738, and the remnant 07611 in Judah 03063 perish 06 08804?
16 But Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 said 0559 08799 unto Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, Thou shalt not do 06213 08799 this thing 01697: for thou speakest 01696 08802 falsely 08267 of Ishmael 03458.
Jer 41
1 Now it came to pass in the seventh 07637 month 02320, [that] Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 the son 01121 of Elishama 0476, of the seed 02233 royal 04410, and the princes 07227 of the king 04428, even ten 06235 men 0582 with him, came 0935 08804 unto Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 to Mizpah 04709; and there they did eat 0398 08799 bread 03899 together 03162 in Mizpah 04708.
2 Then arose 06965 08799 Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, and the ten 06235 men 0582 that were with him, and smote 05221 08686 Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227 with the sword 02719, and slew 04191 08686 him, whom the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 had made governor 06485 08689 over the land 0776.
3 Ishmael 03458 also slew 05221 08689 all the Jews 03064 that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah 01436, at Mizpah 04709, and the Chaldeans 03778 that were found 04672 08738 there, [and] the men 0582 of war 04421.
4 And it came to pass the second 08145 day 03117 after he had slain 04191 08687 Gedaliah 01436, and no man 0376 knew 03045 08804 [it],
5 That there came 0935 08799 certain 0582 from Shechem 07927, from Shiloh 07887, and from Samaria 08111, [even] fourscore 08084 men 0376, having their beards 02206 shaven 01548 08794, and their clothes 0899 rent 07167 08803, and having cut 01413 08706 themselves, with offerings 04503 and incense 03828 in their hand 03027, to bring 0935 08687 [them] to the house 01004 of the LORD 03068.
6 And Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 went forth 03318 08799 from Mizpah 04709 to meet 07125 08800 them, weeping 01058 08802 all along 01980 08800 as he went 01980 08802: and it came to pass, as he met 06298 08800 them, he said 0559 08799 unto them, Come 0935 08798 to Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296.
7 And it was [so], when they came 0935 08800 into the midst 08432 of the city 05892, that Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 slew 07819 08799 them, [and cast them] into the midst 08432 of the pit 0953, he, and the men 0582 that [were] with him.
8 But ten 06235 men 0582 were found 04672 08738 among them that said 0559 08799 unto Ishmael 03458, Slay 04191 08686 us not: for we have 03426 treasures 04301 in the field 07704, of wheat 02406, and of barley 08184, and of oil 08081, and of honey 01706. So he forbare 02308 08799, and slew 04191 08689 them not among 08432 their brethren 0251.
9 Now the pit 0953 wherein Ishmael 03458 had cast 07993 08689 all the dead bodies 06297 of the men 0582, whom he had slain 05221 08689 because 03027 of Gedaliah 01436, [was] it which Asa 0609 the king 04428 had made 06213 08804 for fear 06440 of Baasha 01201 king 04428 of Israel 03478: [and] Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 filled 04390 08765 it with [them that were] slain 02491.
10 Then Ishmael 03458 carried away captive 07617 08799 all the residue 07611 of the people 05971 that [were] in Mizpah 04709, [even] the king's 04428 daughters 01323, and all the people 05971 that remained 07604 08737 in Mizpah 04709, whom Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 had committed 06485 08689 to Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296: and Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 carried them away captive 07617 08799, and departed 03212 08799 to go over 05674 08800 to the Ammonites 01121 05983.
11 But when Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 that [were] with him, heard 08085 08799 of all the evil 07451 that Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 had done 06213 08804,
12 Then they took 03947 08799 all the men 0582, and went 03212 08799 to fight 03898 08736 with Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, and found 04672 08799 him by the great 07227 waters 04325 that [are] in Gibeon 01391.
13 Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people 05971 which [were] with Ishmael 03458 saw 07200 08800 Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 that [were] with him, then they were glad 08055 08799.
14 So all the people 05971 that Ishmael 03458 had carried away captive 07617 08804 from Mizpah 04709 cast about 05437 08799 and returned 07725 08799, and went 03212 08799 unto Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143.
15 But Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 escaped 04422 08738 from 06440 Johanan 03110 with eight 08083 men 0582, and went 03212 08799 to the Ammonites 01121 05983.
16 Then took 03947 08799 Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 that [were] with him, all the remnant 07611 of the people 05971 whom he had recovered 07725 08689 from Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418, from Mizpah 04709, after 0310 [that] he had slain 05221 08689 Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296, [even] mighty 01397 men 0582 of war 04421, and the women 0802, and the children 02945, and the eunuchs 05631, whom he had brought again 07725 08689 from Gibeon 01391:
17 And they departed 03212 08799, and dwelt in 03427 08799 the habitation 01628 of Chimham 03643, which is by 0681 Bethlehem 01035, to go 03212 08800 to enter 0935 08800 into Egypt 04714,
18 Because 06440 of the Chaldeans 03778: for they were afraid 03372 08804 of them, because Ishmael 03458 the son 01121 of Nethaniah 05418 had slain 05221 08689 Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296, whom the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 made governor 06485 08689 in the land 0776.
Jer 42
1 Then all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428, and Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and Jezaniah 03153 the son 01121 of Hoshaiah 01955, and all the people 05971 from the least 06996 even unto the greatest 01419, came near 05066 08799,
2 And said 0559 08799 unto Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication 08467 be accepted 05307 08799 before 06440 thee, and pray 06419 08690 for us unto the LORD 03068 thy God 0430, [even] for all this remnant 07611; (for we are left 07604 08738 [but] a few 04592 of many 07235 08687, as thine eyes 05869 do behold 07200 08802 us:)
3 That the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 may shew 05046 08686 us the way 01870 wherein we may walk 03212 08799, and the thing 01697 that we may do 06213 08799.
4 Then Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 said 0559 08799 unto them, I have heard 08085 08804 [you]; behold, I will pray 06419 08693 unto the LORD 03068 your God 0430 according to your words 01697; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing 01697 the LORD 03068 shall answer 06030 08799 you, I will declare 05046 08686 [it] unto you; I will keep 04513 00 nothing 01697 back 04513 08799 from you.
5 Then they said 0559 08804 to Jeremiah 03414, The LORD 03068 be a true 0571 and faithful 0539 08737 witness 05707 between us, if we do 06213 08799 not even according to all things 01697 for the which the LORD 03068 thy God 0430 shall send 07971 08799 thee to us.
6 Whether [it be] good 02896, or whether [it be] evil 07451, we will obey 08085 08799 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430, to whom we 0580 send 07971 08802 thee; that it may be well 03190 08799 with us, when we obey 08085 08799 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
7 And it came to pass after 07093 ten 06235 days 03117, that the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 came unto Jeremiah 03414.
8 Then called 07121 08799 he Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428 which [were] with him, and all the people 05971 from the least 06996 even to the greatest 01419,
9 And said 0559 08799 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, unto whom ye sent 07971 08804 me to present 05307 08687 your supplication 08467 before 06440 him;
10 If ye will still 07725 08800 abide 03427 08799 in this land 0776, then will I build 01129 08804 you, and not pull [you] down 02040 08799, and I will plant 05193 08804 you, and not pluck [you] up 05428 08799: for I repent 05162 08738 me of the evil 07451 that I have done 06213 08804 unto you.
11 Be not afraid 03372 08799 of 06440 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, of whom 06440 ye are afraid 03373; be not afraid 03372 08799 of him, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: for I [am] with you to save 03467 08687 you, and to deliver 05337 08687 you from his hand 03027.
12 And I will shew 05414 08799 mercies 07356 unto you, that he may have mercy 07355 08765 upon you, and cause you to return 07725 08689 to your own land 0127.
13 But if ye say 0559 08802, We will not dwell 03427 08799 in this land 0776, neither obey 08085 08800 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430,
14 Saying 0559 08800, No; but we will go 0935 08799 into the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, where we shall see 07200 08799 no war 04421, nor hear 08085 08799 the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782, nor have hunger 07456 08799 of bread 03899; and there will we dwell 03427 08799:
15 And now therefore hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, ye remnant 07611 of Judah 03063; Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; If ye wholly 07760 08800 set 07760 08799 your faces 06440 to enter 0935 08800 into Egypt 04714, and go 0935 08804 to sojourn 01481 08800 there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword 02719, which ye feared 03373, shall overtake 05381 08686 you there in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, and the famine 07458, whereof ye were afraid 01672 08802, shall follow close 01692 08799 after 0310 you there in Egypt 04714; and there ye shall die 04191 08799.
17 So shall it be with all the men 0582 that set 07760 08804 their faces 06440 to go 0935 08800 into Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 08800 there; they shall die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719, by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698: and none of them shall remain 08300 or escape 06412 from 06440 the evil 07451 that I will bring 0935 08688 upon them.
18 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; As mine anger 0639 and my fury 02534 hath been poured forth 05413 08738 upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Jerusalem 03389; so shall my fury 02534 be poured forth 05413 08799 upon you, when ye shall enter 0935 08800 into Egypt 04714: and ye shall be an execration 0423, and an astonishment 08047, and a curse 07045, and a reproach 02781; and ye shall see 07200 08799 this place 04725 no more.
19 The LORD 03068 hath said 01696 08765 concerning you, O ye remnant 07611 of Judah 03063; Go 0935 08799 ye not into Egypt 04714: know 03045 08799 certainly 03045 08800 that I have admonished 05749 08689 you this day 03117.
20 For ye dissembled 08582 08689 in your hearts 05315, when ye sent 07971 08804 me unto the LORD 03068 your God 0430, saying 0559 08800, Pray 06419 08690 for us unto the LORD 03068 our God 0430; and according unto all that the LORD 03068 our God 0430 shall say 0559 08799, so declare 05046 08685 unto us, and we will do 06213 08804 [it].
21 And [now] I have this day 03117 declared 05046 08686 [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed 08085 08804 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068 your God 0430, nor any [thing] for the which he hath sent 07971 08804 me unto you.
22 Now therefore know 03045 08799 certainly 03045 08800 that ye shall die 04191 08799 by the sword 02719, by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698, in the place 04725 whither ye desire 02654 08804 to go 0935 08800 [and] to sojourn 01481 08800.
Jer 43
1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah 03414 had made an end 03615 08763 of speaking 01696 08763 unto all the people 05971 all the words 01697 of the LORD 03068 their God 0430, for which the LORD 03068 their God 0430 had sent 07971 08804 him to them, [even] all these words 01697,
2 Then spake 0559 08799 Azariah 05838 the son 01121 of Hoshaiah 01955, and Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the proud 02086 men 0582, saying 0559 08802 unto Jeremiah 03414, Thou speakest 01696 08764 falsely 08267: the LORD 03068 our God 0430 hath not sent 07971 08804 thee to say 0559 08800, Go 0935 08799 not into Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 08800 there:
3 But Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374 setteth thee on 05496 08688 against us, for to 04616 deliver 05414 08800 us into the hand 03027 of the Chaldeans 03778, that they might put us to death 04191 08687, and carry us away captives 01540 08687 into Babylon 0894.
4 So Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428, and all the people 05971, obeyed 08085 08804 not the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, to dwell 03427 08800 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063.
5 But Johanan 03110 the son 01121 of Kareah 07143, and all the captains 08269 of the forces 02428, took 03947 08799 all the remnant 07611 of Judah 03063, that were returned 07725 08804 from all nations 01471, whither they had been driven 05080 08738, to dwell 01481 08800 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063;
6 [Even] men 01397, and women 0802, and children 02945, and the king's 04428 daughters 01323, and every person 05315 that Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 had left 03240 08689 with Gedaliah 01436 the son 01121 of Ahikam 0296 the son 01121 of Shaphan 08227, and Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, and Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374.
7 So they came 0935 08799 into the land 0776 of Egypt 04714: for they obeyed 08085 08804 not the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068: thus came 0935 08799 they [even] to Tahpanhes 08471.
8 Then came the word 01697 of the LORD 03068 unto Jeremiah 03414 in Tahpanhes 08471, saying 0559 08800,
9 Take 03947 08798 great 01419 stones 068 in thine hand 03027, and hide 02934 08804 them in the clay 04423 in the brickkiln 04404, which [is] at the entry 06607 of Pharaoh's 06547 house 01004 in Tahpanhes 08471, in the sight 05869 of the men 0582 of Judah 03064;
10 And say 0559 08804 unto them, Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will send 07971 08802 and take 03947 08804 Nebuchadrezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, my servant 05650, and will set 07760 08804 his throne 03678 upon 04605 these stones 068 that I have hid 02934 08804; and he shall spread 05186 08804 his royal pavilion 08237 over them.
11 And when he cometh 0935 08804, he shall smite 05221 08689 the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, [and deliver] such [as are] for death 04194 to death 04194; and such [as are] for captivity 07628 to captivity 07628; and such [as are] for the sword 02719 to the sword 02719.
12 And I will kindle 03341 08689 a fire 0784 in the houses 01004 of the gods 0430 of Egypt 04714; and he shall burn 08313 08804 them, and carry them away captives 07617 08804: and he shall array 05844 08804 himself with the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, as a shepherd 07462 08802 putteth on 05844 08799 his garment 0899; and he shall go forth 03318 08804 from thence in peace 07965.
13 He shall break 07665 08765 also the images 04676 of Bethshemesh 01053, that [is] in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714; and the houses 01004 of the gods 0430 of the Egyptians 04714 shall he burn 08313 08799 with fire 0784.
Jer 44
1 The word 01697 that came to Jeremiah 03414 concerning all the Jews 03064 which dwell 03427 08802 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, which dwell 03427 08802 at Migdol 04024, and at Tahpanhes 08471, and at Noph 05297, and in the country 0776 of Pathros 06624, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Ye have seen 07200 08804 all the evil 07451 that I have brought 0935 08689 upon Jerusalem 03389, and upon all the cities 05892 of Judah 03063; and, behold, this day 03117 they [are] a desolation 02723, and no man dwelleth 03427 08802 therein,
3 Because 06440 of their wickedness 07451 which they have committed 06213 08804 to provoke me to anger 03707 08687, in that they went 03212 08800 to burn incense 06999 08763, [and] to serve 05647 08800 other 0312 gods 0430, whom they knew 03045 08804 not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers 01.
4 Howbeit I sent 07971 08799 unto you all my servants 05650 the prophets 05030, rising early 07925 08687 and sending 07971 08800 [them], saying 0559 08800, Oh, do 06213 08799 not this abominable 08441 thing 01697 that I hate 08130 08804.
5 But they hearkened 08085 08804 not, nor inclined 05186 08689 their ear 0241 to turn 07725 08800 from their wickedness 07451, to burn no incense 06999 08763 unto other 0312 gods 0430.
6 Wherefore my fury 02534 and mine anger 0639 was poured forth 05413 08799, and was kindled 01197 08799 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063 and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389; and they are wasted 02723 [and] desolate 08077, as at this day 03117.
7 Therefore now thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Wherefore commit 06213 08802 ye [this] great 01419 evil 07451 against your souls 05315, to cut off 03772 08687 from you man 0376 and woman 0802, child 05768 and suckling 03243 08802, out 08432 of Judah 03063, to leave 03498 08687 you none to remain 07611;
8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath 03707 08687 with the works 04639 of your hands 03027, burning incense 06999 08763 unto other 0312 gods 0430 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, whither ye be gone 0935 08802 to dwell 01481 08800, that ye might cut yourselves off 03772 08687, and that ye might be a curse 07045 and a reproach 02781 among all the nations 01471 of the earth 0776?
9 Have ye forgotten 07911 08804 the wickedness 07451 of your fathers 01, and the wickedness 07451 of the kings 04428 of Judah 03063, and the wickedness 07451 of their wives 0802, and your own wickedness 07451, and the wickedness 07451 of your wives 0802, which they have committed 06213 08804 in the land 0776 of Judah 03063, and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389?
10 They are not humbled 01792 08795 [even] unto this day 03117, neither have they feared 03372 08804, nor walked 01980 08804 in my law 08451, nor in my statutes 02708, that I set 05414 08804 before 06440 you and before 06440 your fathers 01.
11 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will set 07760 08802 my face 06440 against you for evil 07451, and to cut off 03772 08687 all Judah 03063.
12 And I will take 03947 08804 the remnant 07611 of Judah 03063, that have set 07760 08804 their faces 06440 to go 0935 08800 into the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 08800 there, and they shall all be consumed 08552 08804, [and] fall 05307 08799 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714; they shall [even] be consumed 08552 08735 by the sword 02719 [and] by the famine 07458: they shall die 04191 08799, from the least 06996 even unto the greatest 01419, by the sword 02719 and by the famine 07458: and they shall be an execration 0423, [and] an astonishment 08047, and a curse 07045, and a reproach 02781.
13 For I will punish 06485 08804 them that dwell 03427 08802 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, as I have punished 06485 08804 Jerusalem 03389, by the sword 02719, by the famine 07458, and by the pestilence 01698:
14 So that none of the remnant 07611 of Judah 03063, which are gone 0935 08802 into the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 08800 there, shall escape 06412 or remain 08300, that they should return 07725 08800 into the land 0776 of Judah 03063, to the which they have 05375 08764 a desire 05315 to return 07725 08800 to dwell 03427 08800 there: for none shall return 07725 08799 but such as shall escape 06405.
15 Then all the men 0582 which knew 03045 08802 that their wives 0802 had burned incense 06999 08764 unto other 0312 gods 0430, and all the women 0802 that stood by 05975 08802, a great 01419 multitude 06951, even all the people 05971 that dwelt 03427 08802 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, in Pathros 06624, answered 06030 08799 Jeremiah 03414, saying 0559 08800,
16 [As for] the word 01697 that thou hast spoken 01696 08765 unto us in the name 08034 of the LORD 03068, we will not hearken 08085 08802 unto thee.
17 But we will certainly 06213 08800 do 06213 08799 whatsoever thing 01697 goeth forth 03318 08804 out of our own mouth 06310, to burn incense 06999 08763 unto the queen 04446 of heaven 08064, and to pour out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto her, as we have done 06213 08804, we, and our fathers 01, our kings 04428, and our princes 08269, in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389: for [then] had we plenty 07646 08799 of victuals 03899, and were well 02896, and saw 07200 08804 no evil 07451.
18 But since we left off 02308 08804 to burn incense 06999 08763 to the queen 04446 of heaven 08064, and to pour out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto her, we have wanted 02637 08804 all [things], and have been consumed 08552 08804 by the sword 02719 and by the famine 07458.
19 And when we burned incense 06999 08764 to the queen 04446 of heaven 08064, and poured out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto her, did we make 06213 08804 her cakes 03561 to worship 06087 08687 her, and pour out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto her, without 01107 our men 0582?
20 Then Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 unto all the people 05971, to the men 01397, and to the women 0802, and to all the people 05971 which had given him [that] answer 01697 06030 08802, saying 0559 08800,
21 The incense 07002 that ye burned 06999 08765 in the cities 05892 of Judah 03063, and in the streets 02351 of Jerusalem 03389, ye, and your fathers 01, your kings 04428, and your princes 08269, and the people 05971 of the land 0776, did not the LORD 03068 remember 02142 08804 them, and came 05927 08799 it [not] into his mind 03820?
22 So that the LORD 03068 could 03201 08799 no longer bear 05375 08800, because 06440 of the evil 07455 of your doings 04611, [and] because 06440 of the abominations 08441 which ye have committed 06213 08804; therefore is your land 0776 a desolation 02723, and an astonishment 08047, and a curse 07045, without an inhabitant 03427 08802, as at this day 03117.
23 Because 06440 0834 ye have burned incense 06999 08765, and because ye have sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068, and have not obeyed 08085 08804 the voice 06963 of the LORD 03068, nor walked 01980 08804 in his law 08451, nor in his statutes 02708, nor in his testimonies 05715; therefore this evil 07451 is happened 07122 08804 unto you, as at this day 03117.
24 Moreover Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 unto all the people 05971, and to all the women 0802, Hear 08085 08798 the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, all Judah 03063 that [are] in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714:
25 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, saying 0559 08800; Ye and your wives 0802 have both spoken 01696 08762 with your mouths 06310, and fulfilled 04390 08765 with your hand 03027, saying 0559 08800, We will surely 06213 08800 perform 06213 08799 our vows 05088 that we have vowed 05087 08804, to burn incense 06999 08763 to the queen 04446 of heaven 08064, and to pour out 05258 08687 drink offerings 05262 unto her: ye will surely 06965 08687 accomplish 06965 08686 your vows 05088, and surely 06213 08800 perform 06213 08799 your vows 05088.
26 Therefore hear 08085 08798 ye the word 01697 of the LORD 03068, all Judah 03063 that dwell 03427 08802 in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714; Behold, I have sworn 07650 08738 by my great 01419 name 08034, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, that my name 08034 shall no more be named 07121 08737 in the mouth 06310 of any man 0376 of Judah 03063 in all the land 0776 of Egypt 04714, saying 0559 08802, The Lord 0136 GOD 03069 liveth 02416.
27 Behold, I will watch 08245 08802 over them for evil 07451, and not for good 02896: and all the men 0376 of Judah 03063 that [are] in the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 shall be consumed 08552 08804 by the sword 02719 and by the famine 07458, until there be an end 03615 08800 of them.
28 Yet a small 04962 number 04557 that escape 06412 the sword 02719 shall return out 07725 08799 of the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 into the land 0776 of Judah 03063, and all the remnant 07611 of Judah 03063, that are gone 0935 08802 into the land 0776 of Egypt 04714 to sojourn 01481 08800 there, shall know 03045 08804 whose words 01697 shall stand 06965 08799, mine, or theirs.
29 And this [shall be] a sign 0226 unto you, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will punish 06485 08802 you in this place 04725, that ye may know 03045 08799 that my words 01697 shall surely 06965 08800 stand 06965 08799 against you for evil 07451:
30 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will give 05414 08802 Pharaohhophra 06548 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 into the hand 03027 of his enemies 0341 08802, and into the hand 03027 of them that seek 01245 08764 his life 05315; as I gave 05414 08804 Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063 into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, his enemy 0341 08802, and that sought 01245 08764 his life 05315.
Jer 45
1 The word 01697 that Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 spake 01696 08765 unto Baruch 01263 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374, when he had written 03789 08800 these words 01697 in a book 05612 at the mouth 06310 of Jeremiah 03414, in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800,
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, unto thee, O Baruch 01263;
3 Thou didst say 0559 08804, Woe 0188 is me now! for the LORD 03068 hath added 03254 08804 grief 03015 to my sorrow 04341; I fainted 03021 08804 in my sighing 0585, and I find 04672 08804 no rest 04496.
4 Thus shalt thou say 0559 08799 unto him, The LORD 03068 saith 0559 08804 thus; Behold, [that] which I have built 01129 08804 will I break down 02040 08802, and that which I have planted 05193 08804 I will pluck up 05428 08802, even this whole land 0776.
5 And seekest 01245 08762 thou great things 01419 for thyself? seek 01245 08762 [them] not: for, behold, I will bring 0935 08688 evil 07451 upon all flesh 01320, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: but thy life 05315 will I give 05414 08804 unto thee for a prey 07998 in all places 04725 whither thou goest 03212 08799.
Jer 46
1 The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 which came to Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 against the Gentiles 01471;
2 Against Egypt 04714, against the army 02428 of Pharaohnecho 06549 king 04428 of Egypt 04714, which was by the river 05104 Euphrates 06578 in Carchemish 03751, which Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 smote 05221 08689 in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of Jehoiakim 03079 the son 01121 of Josiah 02977 king 04428 of Judah 03063.
3 Order 06186 08798 ye the buckler 04043 and shield 06793, and draw near 05066 08798 to battle 04421.
4 Harness 0631 08798 the horses 05483; and get up 05927 08798, ye horsemen 06571, and stand forth 03320 08690 with [your] helmets 03553; furbish 04838 08798 the spears 07420, [and] put on 03847 08798 the brigandines 05630.
5 Wherefore have I seen 07200 08804 them dismayed 02844 [and] turned 05472 08737 away back 0268? and their mighty ones 01368 are beaten down 03807 08714, and are fled 05127 08804 apace 04498, and look not back 06437 08689: [for] fear 04032 [was] round about 05439, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
6 Let not the swift 07031 flee away 05127 08799, nor the mighty man 01368 escape 04422 08735; they shall stumble 03782 08804, and fall 05307 08804 toward the north 06828 by 03027 the river 05104 Euphrates 06578.
7 Who [is] this [that] cometh up 05927 08799 as a flood 02975, whose waters 04325 are moved 01607 08691 as the rivers 05104?
8 Egypt 04714 riseth up 05927 08799 like a flood 02975, and [his] waters 04325 are moved 01607 08704 like the rivers 05104; and he saith 0559 08799, I will go up 05927 08799, [and] will cover 03680 08762 the earth 0776; I will destroy 06 08686 the city 05892 and the inhabitants 03427 08802 thereof.
9 Come up 05927 08798, ye horses 05483; and rage 01984 08703, ye chariots 07393; and let the mighty men 01368 come forth 03318 08799; the Ethiopians 03568 and the Libyans 06316, that handle 08610 08802 the shield 04043; and the Lydians 03866, that handle 08610 08802 [and] bend 01869 08802 the bow 07198.
10 For this [is] the day 03117 of the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635, a day 03117 of vengeance 05360, that he may avenge 05358 08736 him of his adversaries 06862: and the sword 02719 shall devour 0398 08804, and it shall be satiate 07646 08804 and made drunk 07301 08804 with their blood 01818: for the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635 hath a sacrifice 02077 in the north 06828 country 0776 by the river 05104 Euphrates 06578.
11 Go up 05927 08798 into Gilead 01568, and take 03947 08798 balm 06875, O virgin 01330, the daughter 01323 of Egypt 04714: in vain 07723 shalt thou use many 07235 08689 medicines 07499; [for] thou shalt not be cured 08585.
12 The nations 01471 have heard 08085 08804 of thy shame 07036, and thy cry 06682 hath filled 04390 08804 the land 0776: for the mighty man 01368 hath stumbled 03782 08804 against the mighty 01368, [and] they are fallen 05307 08804 both 08147 together 03162.
13 The word 01697 that the LORD 03068 spake 01696 08765 to Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030, how Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 should come 0935 08800 [and] smite 05221 08687 the land 0776 of Egypt 04714.
14 Declare 05046 08685 ye in Egypt 04714, and publish 08085 08685 in Migdol 04024, and publish 08085 08685 in Noph 05297 and in Tahpanhes 08471: say 0559 08798 ye, Stand fast 03320 08690, and prepare 03559 08685 thee; for the sword 02719 shall devour 0398 08804 round about 05439 thee.
15 Why are thy valiant 047 [men] swept away 05502 08738? they stood 05975 08804 not, because the LORD 03068 did drive 01920 08804 them.
16 He made many 07235 08689 to fall 03782 08802, yea, one 0376 fell 05307 08804 upon another 07453: and they said 0559 08799, Arise 06965 08798, and let us go again 07725 08799 to our own people 05971, and to the land 0776 of our nativity 04138, from 06440 the oppressing 03238 08802 sword 02719.
17 They did cry 07121 08804 there, Pharaoh 06547 king 04428 of Egypt 04714 [is but] a noise 07588; he hath passed 05674 08689 the time appointed 04150.
18 [As] I live 02416, saith 05002 08803 the King 04428, whose name 08034 [is] the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, Surely as Tabor 08396 [is] among the mountains 02022, and as Carmel 03760 by the sea 03220, [so] shall he come 0935 08799.
19 O thou daughter 01323 dwelling 03427 08802 in Egypt 04714, furnish 06213 08798 thyself to go into captivity 03627 01473: for Noph 05297 shall be waste 08047 and desolate 03341 08738 without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
20 Egypt 04714 [is like] a very fair 03304 heifer 05697, [but] destruction 07171 cometh 0935 08804; it cometh out 0935 08804 of the north 06828.
21 Also her hired men 07916 [are] in the midst 07130 of her like fatted 04770 bullocks 05695; for they also are turned back 06437 08689, [and] are fled away 05127 08804 together 03162: they did not stand 05975 08804, because the day 03117 of their calamity 0343 was come 0935 08804 upon them, [and] the time 06256 of their visitation 06486.
22 The voice 06963 thereof shall go 03212 08799 like a serpent 05175; for they shall march 03212 08799 with an army 02428, and come 0935 08804 against her with axes 07134, as hewers 02404 08802 of wood 06086.
23 They shall cut down 03772 08804 her forest 03293, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, though it cannot be searched 02713 08735; because they are more 07231 08804 than the grasshoppers 0697, and [are] innumerable 0369 04557.
24 The daughter 01323 of Egypt 04714 shall be confounded 03001 08689; she shall be delivered 05414 08738 into the hand 03027 of the people 05971 of the north 06828.
25 The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478, saith 0559 08804; Behold, I will punish 06485 08802 the multitude 0527 08676 0528 of No 04996, and Pharaoh 06547, and Egypt 04714, with their gods 0430, and their kings 04428; even Pharaoh 06547, and [all] them that trust 0982 08802 in him:
26 And I will deliver 05414 08804 them into the hand 03027 of those that seek 01245 08764 their lives 05315, and into the hand 03027 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and into the hand 03027 of his servants 05650: and afterward 0310 it shall be inhabited 07931 08799, as in the days 03117 of old 06924, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
27 But fear 03372 08799 not thou, O my servant 05650 Jacob 03290, and be not dismayed 02865 08735, O Israel 03478: for, behold, I will save 03467 08688 thee from afar off 07350, and thy seed 02233 from the land 0776 of their captivity 07628; and Jacob 03290 shall return 07725 08804, and be in rest 08252 08804 and at ease 07599 08768, and none shall make [him] afraid 02729 08688.
28 Fear 03372 08799 thou not, O Jacob 03290 my servant 05650, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068: for I [am] with thee; for I will make 06213 08799 a full end 03617 of all the nations 01471 whither I have driven 05080 08689 thee: but I will not make 06213 08799 a full end 03617 of thee, but correct 03256 08765 thee in measure 04941; yet will I not leave thee wholly 05352 08763 unpunished 05352 08762.
Jer 47
1 The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 that came to Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 against the Philistines 06430, before that Pharaoh 06547 smote 05221 08686 Gaza 05804.
2 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, waters 04325 rise up 05927 08802 out of the north 06828, and shall be an overflowing 07857 08802 flood 05158, and shall overflow 07857 08799 the land 0776, and all that is therein 04393; the city 05892, and them that dwell 03427 08802 therein: then the men 0120 shall cry 02199 08804, and all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of the land 0776 shall howl 03213 08689.
3 At the noise 06963 of the stamping 08161 of the hoofs 06541 of his strong 047 [horses], at the rushing 07494 of his chariots 07393, [and at] the rumbling 01995 of his wheels 01534, the fathers 01 shall not look back 06437 08689 to [their] children 01121 for feebleness 07510 of hands 03027;
4 Because of the day 03117 that cometh 0935 08802 to spoil 07703 08800 all the Philistines 06430, [and] to cut off 03772 08687 from Tyrus 06865 and Zidon 06721 every helper 05826 08802 that remaineth 08300: for the LORD 03068 will spoil 07703 08802 the Philistines 06430, the remnant 07611 of the country 0339 of Caphtor 03731.
5 Baldness 07144 is come 0935 08804 upon Gaza 05804; Ashkelon 0831 is cut off 01820 08738 [with] the remnant 07611 of their valley 06010: how long wilt thou cut 01413 08704 thyself?
6 O 01945 thou sword 02719 of the LORD 03068, how long [will it be] ere 03808 thou be quiet 08252 08799? put up 0622 08734 thyself into thy scabbard 08593, rest 07280 08734, and be still 01826 08798.
7 How can it be quiet 08252 08799, seeing the LORD 03068 hath given it a charge 06680 08765 against Ashkelon 0831, and against the sea 03220 shore 02348? there hath he appointed 03259 08804 it.
Jer 48
1 Against Moab 04124 thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Woe 01945 unto Nebo 05015! for it is spoiled 07703 08795: Kiriathaim 07156 is confounded 03001 08689 [and] taken 03920 08738: Misgab 04869 is confounded 03001 08689 and dismayed 02865 08804.
2 [There shall be] no more praise 08416 of Moab 04124: in Heshbon 02809 they have devised 02803 08804 evil 07451 against it; come 03212 08798, and let us cut it off 03772 08686 from [being] a nation 01471. Also thou shalt be cut down 01826 08735, O Madmen 04086; the sword 02719 shall pursue 03212 08799 thee 0310.
3 A voice 06963 of crying 06818 [shall be] from Horonaim 02773, spoiling 07701 and great 01419 destruction 07667.
4 Moab 04124 is destroyed 07665 08738; her little ones 06810 have caused a cry 02201 to be heard 08085 08689.
5 For in the going up 04608 of Luhith 03872 continual 01065 weeping 01065 shall go up 05927 08799; for in the going down 04174 of Horonaim 02773 the enemies 06862 have heard 08085 08804 a cry 06818 of destruction 07667.
6 Flee 05127 08798, save 04422 08761 your lives 05315, and be 01961 08799 like the heath 06176 in the wilderness 04057.
7 For because thou hast trusted 0982 08800 in thy works 04639 and in thy treasures 0214, thou shalt also be taken 03920 08735: and Chemosh 03645 shall go forth 03318 08804 into captivity 01473 [with] his priests 03548 and his princes 08269 together 03162.
8 And the spoiler 07703 08802 shall come 0935 08799 upon every city 05892, and no city 05892 shall escape 04422 08735: the valley 06010 also shall perish 06 08804, and the plain 04334 shall be destroyed 08045 08738, as the LORD 03068 hath spoken 0559 08804.
9 Give 05414 08798 wings 06731 unto Moab 04124, that it may flee 05323 08800 and get away 03318 08799: for the cities 05892 thereof shall be desolate 08047, without any to dwell 03427 08802 therein 02004.
10 Cursed 0779 08803 [be] he that doeth 06213 08802 the work 04399 of the LORD 03068 deceitfully 07423, and cursed 0779 08803 [be] he that keepeth back 04513 08802 his sword 02719 from blood 01818.
11 Moab 04124 hath been at ease 07599 08768 from his youth 05271, and he hath settled 08252 08802 on his lees 08105, and hath not been emptied 07324 08717 from vessel 03627 to vessel 03627, neither hath he gone 01980 08804 into captivity 01473: therefore his taste 02940 remained 05975 08804 in him, and his scent 07381 is not changed 04171 08738.
12 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will send 07971 08765 unto him wanderers 06808 08802, that shall cause him to wander 06808 08765, and shall empty 07324 08686 his vessels 03627, and break 05310 08762 their bottles 05035.
13 And Moab 04124 shall be ashamed 0954 08804 of Chemosh 03645, as the house 01004 of Israel 03478 was ashamed 0954 08804 of Bethel 01008 their confidence 04009.
14 How say 0559 08799 ye, We [are] mighty 01368 and strong 02428 men 0582 for the war 04421?
15 Moab 04124 is spoiled 07703 08795, and gone up 05927 08804 [out of] her cities 05892, and his chosen 04005 young men 0970 are gone down 03381 08804 to the slaughter 02874, saith 05002 08803 the King 04428, whose name 08034 [is] the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
16 The calamity 0343 of Moab 04124 [is] near 07138 to come 0935 08800, and his affliction 07451 hasteth 04116 08765 fast 03966.
17 All ye that are about 05439 him, bemoan 05110 08798 him; and all ye that know 03045 08802 his name 08034, say 0559 08798, How is the strong 05797 staff 04294 broken 07665 08738, [and] the beautiful 08597 rod 04731!
18 Thou daughter 01323 that dost inhabit 03427 08802 Dibon 01769, come down 03381 08798 from [thy] glory 03519, and sit 03427 08798 in thirst 06772; for the spoiler 07703 08802 of Moab 04124 shall come 05927 08804 upon thee, [and] he shall destroy 07843 08765 thy strong holds 04013.
19 O inhabitant 03427 08802 of Aroer 06177, stand 05975 08798 by the way 01870, and espy 06822 08761; ask 07592 08798 him that fleeth 05127 08801, and her that escapeth 04422 08737, [and] say 0559 08798, What is done 01961 08738?
20 Moab 04124 is confounded 03001 08689; for it is broken down 02865 08804: howl 03213 08685 and cry 02199 08798; tell 05046 08685 ye it in Arnon 0769, that Moab 04124 is spoiled 07703 08795,
21 And judgment 04941 is come 0935 08804 upon the plain 04334 country 0776; upon Holon 02473, and upon Jahazah 03096, and upon Mephaath 04158,
22 And upon Dibon 01769, and upon Nebo 05015, and upon Bethdiblathaim 01015,
23 And upon Kiriathaim 07156, and upon Bethgamul 01014, and upon Bethmeon 01010,
24 And upon Kerioth 07152, and upon Bozrah 01224, and upon all the cities 05892 of the land 0776 of Moab 04124, far 07350 or near 07138.
25 The horn 07161 of Moab 04124 is cut off 01438 08738, and his arm 02220 is broken 07665 08738, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
26 Make ye him drunken 07937 08685: for he magnified 01431 08689 [himself] against the LORD 03068: Moab 04124 also shall wallow 05606 08804 in his vomit 06892, and he also shall be in derision 07814.
27 For was not Israel 03478 a derision 07814 unto thee? was he found 04672 08738 among thieves 01590? for since 01767 thou spakest 01697 of him, thou skippedst 05110 08709 for joy.
28 O ye that dwell 03427 08802 in Moab 04124, leave 05800 08798 the cities 05892, and dwell 07931 08798 in the rock 05553, and be like the dove 03123 [that] maketh her nest 07077 08762 in the sides 05676 of the hole's 06354 mouth 06310.
29 We have heard 08085 08804 the pride 01347 of Moab 04124, (he is exceeding 03966 proud 01343) his loftiness 01363, and his arrogancy 01346, and his pride 01347, and the haughtiness 07312 of his heart 03820.
30 I know 03045 08804 his wrath 05678, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies 0907 shall not so effect 06213 08804 [it].
31 Therefore will I howl 03213 08686 for Moab 04124, and I will cry out 02199 08799 for all Moab 04124; [mine heart] shall mourn 01897 08799 for the men 0582 of Kirheres 07025.
32 O vine 01612 of Sibmah 07643, I will weep 01058 08799 for thee with the weeping 01065 of Jazer 03270: thy plants 05189 are gone over 05674 08804 the sea 03220, they reach 05060 08804 [even] to the sea 03220 of Jazer 03270: the spoiler 07703 08802 is fallen 05307 08804 upon thy summer fruits 07019 and upon thy vintage 01210.
33 And joy 08057 and gladness 01524 is taken 0622 08738 from the plentiful field 03759, and from the land 0776 of Moab 04124; and I have caused wine 03196 to fail 07673 08689 from the winepresses 03342: none shall tread 01869 08799 with shouting 01959; [their] shouting 01959 [shall be] no shouting 01959.
34 From the cry 02201 of Heshbon 02809 [even] unto Elealeh 0500, [and even] unto Jahaz 03096, have they uttered 05414 08804 their voice 06963, from Zoar 06820 [even] unto Horonaim 02773, [as] an heifer 05697 of three years old 07992: for the waters 04325 also of Nimrim 05249 shall be desolate 04923.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease 07673 08689 in Moab 04124, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, him that offereth 05927 08688 in the high places 01116, and him that burneth incense 06999 08688 to his gods 0430.
36 Therefore mine heart 03820 shall sound 01993 08799 for Moab 04124 like pipes 02485, and mine heart 03820 shall sound 01993 08799 like pipes 02485 for the men 0582 of Kirheres 07025: because the riches 03502 [that] he hath gotten 06213 08804 are perished 06 08804.
37 For every head 07218 [shall be] bald 07144, and every beard 02206 clipped 01639 08803: upon all the hands 03027 [shall be] cuttings 01417, and upon the loins 04975 sackcloth 08242.
38 [There shall be] lamentation 04553 generally upon all the housetops 01406 of Moab 04124, and in the streets 07339 thereof: for I have broken 07665 08804 Moab 04124 like a vessel 03627 wherein [is] no pleasure 02656, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
39 They shall howl 03213 08685, [saying], How is it broken down 02865 08804! how hath Moab 04124 turned 06437 08689 the back 06203 with shame 0954 08804! so shall Moab 04124 be a derision 07814 and a dismaying 04288 to all them about 05439 him.
40 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, he shall fly 01675 08799 as an eagle 05404, and shall spread 06566 08804 his wings 03671 over Moab 04124.
41 Kerioth 07152 is taken 03920 08738, and the strong holds 04679 are surprised 08610 08738, and the mighty men's 01368 hearts 03820 in Moab 04124 at that day 03117 shall be as the heart 03820 of a woman 0802 in her pangs 06887 08688.
42 And Moab 04124 shall be destroyed 08045 08738 from [being] a people 05971, because he hath magnified 01431 08689 [himself] against the LORD 03068.
43 Fear 06343, and the pit 06354, and the snare 06341, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant 03427 08802 of Moab 04124, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
44 He that fleeth 05127 08801 08675 05211 from 06440 the fear 06343 shall fall 05307 08799 into the pit 06354; and he that getteth up 05927 08802 out of the pit 06354 shall be taken 03920 08735 in the snare 06341: for I will bring 0935 08686 upon it, [even] upon Moab 04124, the year 08141 of their visitation 06486, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
45 They that fled 05127 08801 stood 05975 08804 under the shadow 06738 of Heshbon 02809 because of the force 03581: but a fire 0784 shall come forth 03318 08804 out of Heshbon 02809, and a flame 03852 from the midst 0996 of Sihon 05511, and shall devour 0398 08799 the corner 06285 of Moab 04124, and the crown of the head 06936 of the tumultuous 07588 ones 01121.
46 Woe 0188 be unto thee, O Moab 04124! the people 05971 of Chemosh 03645 perisheth 06 08804: for thy sons 01121 are taken 03947 08795 captives 07628, and thy daughters 01323 captives 07633.
47 Yet will I bring again 07725 08804 the captivity 07622 of Moab 04124 in the latter 0319 days 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068. Thus far 02008 [is] the judgment 04941 of Moab 04124.
Jer 49
1 Concerning the Ammonites 01121 05983, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Hath Israel 03478 no sons 01121? hath he no heir 03423 08802? why [then] doth their king 04428 inherit 03423 08804 Gad 01410, and his people 05971 dwell 03427 08804 in his cities 05892?
2 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, that I will cause an alarm 08643 of war 04421 to be heard 08085 08689 in Rabbah 07237 of the Ammonites 01121 05983; and it shall be a desolate 08077 heap 08510, and her daughters 01323 shall be burned 03341 08799 with fire 0784: then shall Israel 03478 be heir 03423 08804 unto them that were his heirs 03423 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
3 Howl 03213 08685, O Heshbon 02809, for Ai 05857 is spoiled 07703 08795: cry 06817 08798, ye daughters 01323 of Rabbah 07237, gird 02296 08798 you with sackcloth 08242; lament 05594 08798, and run to and fro 07751 08708 by the hedges 01448; for their king 04428 shall go 03212 08799 into captivity 01473, [and] his priests 03548 and his princes 08269 together 03162.
4 Wherefore gloriest 01984 08691 thou in the valleys 06010, thy flowing 02100 08802 valley 06010, O backsliding 07728 daughter 01323? that trusted 0982 08802 in her treasures 0214, [saying], Who shall come 0935 08799 unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring 0935 08688 a fear 06343 upon thee, saith 05002 08803 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635, from all those that be about 05439 thee; and ye shall be driven out 05080 08738 every man 0376 right forth 06440; and none shall gather up 06908 08764 him that wandereth 05074 08802.
6 And afterward 0310 I will bring again 07725 08686 the captivity 07622 of the children 01121 of Ammon 05983, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
7 Concerning Edom 0123, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; [Is] wisdom 02451 no more in Teman 08487? is counsel 06098 perished 06 08804 from the prudent 0995 08801? is their wisdom 02451 vanished 05628 08738?
8 Flee 05127 08798 ye, turn back 06437 08717, dwell 03427 08800 deep 06009 08689, O inhabitants 03427 08802 of Dedan 01719; for I will bring 0935 08689 the calamity 0343 of Esau 06215 upon him, the time 06256 [that] I will visit 06485 08804 him.
9 If grapegatherers 01219 08802 come 0935 08804 to thee, would they not leave 07604 08686 [some] gleaning grapes 05955? if thieves 01590 by night 03915, they will destroy 07843 08689 till they have enough 01767.
10 But I have made Esau 06215 bare 02834 08804, I have uncovered 01540 08765 his secret places 04565, and he shall not be able 03201 08799 to hide 02247 08736 himself: his seed 02233 is spoiled 07703 08795, and his brethren 0251, and his neighbours 07934, and he [is] not.
11 Leave 05800 08798 thy fatherless children 03490, I will preserve [them] alive 02421 08762; and let thy widows 0490 trust 0982 08799 in me.
12 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, they whose judgment 04941 [was] not to drink 08354 08800 of the cup 03563 have assuredly 08354 08800 drunken 08354 08799; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether 05352 08800 go unpunished 05352 08735? thou shalt not go unpunished 05352 08735, but thou shalt surely 08354 08800 drink 08354 08799 [of it].
13 For I have sworn 07650 08738 by myself, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that Bozrah 01224 shall become a desolation 08047, a reproach 02781, a waste 02721, and a curse 07045; and all the cities 05892 thereof shall be perpetual 05769 wastes 02723.
14 I have heard 08085 08804 a rumour 08052 from the LORD 03068, and an ambassador 06735 is sent 07971 08803 unto the heathen 01471, [saying], Gather ye together 06908 08690, and come 0935 08798 against her, and rise up 06965 08798 to the battle 04421.
15 For, lo, I will make 05414 08804 thee small 06996 among the heathen 01471, [and] despised 0959 08803 among men 0120.
16 Thy terribleness 08606 hath deceived 05377 08689 thee, [and] the pride 02087 of thine heart 03820, O thou that dwellest 07931 08802 in the clefts 02288 of the rock 05553, that holdest 08610 08802 the height 04791 of the hill 01389: though thou shouldest make thy nest 07064 as high 01361 08686 as the eagle 05404, I will bring thee down 03381 08686 from thence, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
17 Also Edom 0123 shall be a desolation 08047: every one that goeth 05674 08802 by it shall be astonished 08074 08799, and shall hiss 08319 08799 at all the plagues 04347 thereof.
18 As in the overthrow 04114 of Sodom 05467 and Gomorrah 06017 and the neighbour 07934 [cities] thereof, saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068, no man 0376 shall abide 03427 08799 there, neither shall a son 01121 of man 0120 dwell 01481 08799 in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up 05927 08799 like a lion 0738 from the swelling 01347 of Jordan 03383 against the habitation 05116 of the strong 0386: but I will suddenly 07280 08686 make him run away 07323 08686 from her: and who [is] a chosen 0977 08803 [man, that] I may appoint 06485 08799 over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time 03259 08686? and who [is] that shepherd 07462 08802 that will stand 05975 08799 before 06440 me?
20 Therefore hear 08085 08798 the counsel 06098 of the LORD 03068, that he hath taken 03289 08804 against Edom 0123; and his purposes 04284, that he hath purposed 02803 08804 against the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Teman 08487: Surely the least 06810 of the flock 06629 shall draw them out 05498 08799: surely he shall make their habitations 05116 desolate 08074 08686 with them.
21 The earth 0776 is moved 07493 08804 at the noise 06963 of their fall 05307 08800, at the cry 06818 the noise 06963 thereof was heard 08085 08738 in the Red 05488 sea 03220.
22 Behold, he shall come up 05927 08799 and fly 01675 08799 as the eagle 05404, and spread 06566 08799 his wings 03671 over Bozrah 01224: and at that day 03117 shall the heart 03820 of the mighty men 01368 of Edom 0123 be as the heart 03820 of a woman 0802 in her pangs 06887 08688.
23 Concerning Damascus 01834. Hamath 02574 is confounded 0954 08804, and Arpad 0774: for they have heard 08085 08804 evil 07451 tidings 08052: they are fainthearted 04127 08738; [there is] sorrow 01674 on the sea 03220; it cannot 03201 08799 be quiet 08252 08687.
24 Damascus 01834 is waxed feeble 07503 08804, [and] turneth 06437 08689 herself to flee 05127 08800, and fear 07374 hath seized 02388 08689 on [her]: anguish 06869 and sorrows 02256 have taken 0270 08804 her, as a woman in travail 03205 08802.
25 How is the city 05892 of praise 08416 not left 05800 08795, the city 07151 of my joy 04885!
26 Therefore her young men 0970 shall fall 05307 08799 in her streets 07339, and all the men 0582 of war 04421 shall be cut off 01826 08735 in that day 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
27 And I will kindle 03341 08689 a fire 0784 in the wall 02346 of Damascus 01834, and it shall consume 0398 08804 the palaces 0759 of Benhadad 01130.
28 Concerning Kedar 06938, and concerning the kingdoms 04467 of Hazor 02674, which Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 shall smite 05221 08689, thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Arise 06965 08798 ye, go up 05927 08798 to Kedar 06938, and spoil 07703 08798 the men 01121 of the east 06924.
29 Their tents 0168 and their flocks 06629 shall they take away 03947 08799: they shall take 05375 08799 to themselves their curtains 03407, and all their vessels 03627, and their camels 01581; and they shall cry 07121 08804 unto them, Fear 04032 [is] on every side 05439.
30 Flee 05127 08798, get 05110 08798 you far off 03966, dwell 03427 08800 deep 06009 08689, O ye inhabitants 03427 08802 of Hazor 02674, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; for Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 hath taken counsel 06098 03289 08804 against you, and hath conceived 02803 08804 a purpose 04284 against you.
31 Arise 06965 08798, get you up 05927 08798 unto the wealthy 07961 nation 01471, that dwelleth 03427 08802 without care 0983, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, which have neither gates 01817 nor bars 01280, [which] dwell 07931 08799 alone 0910.
32 And their camels 01581 shall be a booty 0957, and the multitude 01995 of their cattle 04735 a spoil 07998: and I will scatter 02219 08765 into all winds 07307 them [that are] in the utmost 07112 08803 corners 06285; and I will bring 0935 08686 their calamity 0343 from all sides 05676 thereof, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
33 And Hazor 02674 shall be a dwelling 04583 for dragons 08577, [and] a desolation 08077 for 05704 ever 05769: there shall no man 0376 abide 03427 08799 there, nor [any] son 01121 of man 0120 dwell 01481 08799 in it.
34 The word 01697 of the LORD 03068 that came to Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 against Elam 05867 in the beginning 07225 of the reign 04438 of Zedekiah 06667 king 04428 of Judah 03063, saying 0559 08800,
35 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; Behold, I will break 07665 08799 the bow 07198 of Elam 05867, the chief 07225 of their might 01369.
36 And upon Elam 05867 will I bring 0935 08689 the four 0702 winds 07307 from the four 0702 quarters 07098 of heaven 08064, and will scatter 02219 08765 them toward all those winds 07307; and there shall be no nation 01471 whither the outcasts 05080 08737 of Elam 05867 08675 05769 shall not come 0935 08799.
37 For I will cause Elam 05867 to be dismayed 02865 08689 before 06440 their enemies 0341 08802, and before 06440 them that seek 01245 08764 their life 05315: and I will bring 0935 08689 evil 07451 upon them, [even] my fierce 02740 anger 0639, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; and I will send 07971 08765 the sword 02719 after 0310 them, till I have consumed 03615 08763 them:
38 And I will set 07760 08804 my throne 03678 in Elam 05867, and will destroy 06 08689 from thence the king 04428 and the princes 08269, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter 0319 days 03117, [that] I will bring again 07725 08686 08675 07725 08799 the captivity 07622 08675 07622 of Elam 05867, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
Jer 50
1 The word 01697 that the LORD 03068 spake 01696 08765 against Babylon 0894 [and] against the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778 by 03027 Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030.
2 Declare 05046 08685 ye among the nations 01471, and publish 08085 08685, and set up 05375 08798 a standard 05251; publish 08085 08685, [and] conceal 03582 08762 not: say 0559 08798, Babylon 0894 is taken 03920 08738, Bel 01078 is confounded 03001 08689, Merodach 04781 is broken in pieces 02865 08804; her idols 06091 are confounded 03001 08689, her images 01544 are broken in pieces 02865 08804.
3 For out of the north 06828 there cometh up 05927 08804 a nation 01471 against her, which shall make 07896 08799 her land 0776 desolate 08047, and none shall dwell 03427 08802 therein: they shall remove 05110 08804, they shall depart 01980 08804, both man 0120 and beast 0929.
4 In those days 03117, and in that time 06256, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, the children 01121 of Israel 03478 shall come 0935 08799, they and the children 01121 of Judah 03063 together 03162, going 01980 08800 and weeping 01058 08800: they shall go 03212 08799, and seek 01245 08762 the LORD 03068 their God 0430.
5 They shall ask 07592 08799 the way 01870 to Zion 06726 with their faces 06440 thitherward 02008, [saying], Come 0935 08798, and let us join 03867 08738 ourselves to the LORD 03068 in a perpetual 05769 covenant 01285 [that] shall not be forgotten 07911 08735.
6 My people 05971 hath been lost 06 08802 sheep 06629: their shepherds 07462 08802 have caused them to go astray 08582 08689, they have turned them away 07725 08790 08675 07726 [on] the mountains 02022: they have gone 01980 08804 from mountain 02022 to hill 01389, they have forgotten 07911 08804 their restingplace 07258.
7 All that found 04672 08802 them have devoured 0398 08804 them: and their adversaries 06862 said 0559 08804, We offend 0816 08799 not, because they have sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068, the habitation 05116 of justice 06664, even the LORD 03068, the hope 04723 of their fathers 01.
8 Remove 05110 08798 out of the midst 08432 of Babylon 0894, and go forth 03318 08798 08675 03318 08799 out of the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778, and be as the he goats 06260 before 06440 the flocks 06629.
9 For, lo, I will raise 05782 08688 and cause to come up 05927 08688 against Babylon 0894 an assembly 06951 of great 01419 nations 01471 from the north 06828 country 0776: and they shall set themselves in array 06186 08804 against her; from thence she shall be taken 03920 08735: their arrows 02671 [shall be] as of a mighty 01368 expert man 07919 08688 08676 07921 08688; none shall return 07725 08799 in vain 07387.
10 And Chaldea 03778 shall be a spoil 07998: all that spoil 07997 08802 her shall be satisfied 07646 08799, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
11 Because ye were glad 08055 08799, because ye rejoiced 05937 08799, O ye destroyers 08154 08802 of mine heritage 05159, because ye are grown fat 06335 08799 as the heifer 05697 at grass 01877 08676 01758 08801, and bellow 06670 08799 as bulls 047;
12 Your mother 0517 shall be sore 03966 confounded 0954 08804; she that bare 03205 08802 you shall be ashamed 02659 08804: behold, the hindermost 0319 of the nations 01471 [shall be] a wilderness 04057, a dry land 06723, and a desert 06160.
13 Because of the wrath 07110 of the LORD 03068 it shall not be inhabited 03427 08799, but it shall be wholly desolate 08077: every one that goeth 05674 08802 by Babylon 0894 shall be astonished 08074 08799, and hiss 08319 08799 at all her plagues 04347.
14 Put yourselves in array 06186 08798 against Babylon 0894 round about 05439: all ye that bend 01869 08802 the bow 07198, shoot 03034 08798 at her, spare 02550 08799 no arrows 02671: for she hath sinned 02398 08804 against the LORD 03068.
15 Shout 07321 08685 against her round about 05439: she hath given 05414 08804 her hand 03027: her foundations 0803 are fallen 05307 08804, her walls 02346 are thrown down 02040 08738: for it [is] the vengeance 05360 of the LORD 03068: take vengeance 05358 08734 upon her; as she hath done 06213 08804, do 06213 08798 unto her.
16 Cut off 03772 08798 the sower 02232 08802 from Babylon 0894, and him that handleth 08610 08802 the sickle 04038 in the time 06256 of harvest 07105: for fear 06440 of the oppressing 03238 08802 sword 02719 they shall turn 06437 08799 every one 0376 to his people 05971, and they shall flee 05127 08799 every one 0376 to his own land 0776.
17 Israel 03478 [is] a scattered 06340 08801 sheep 07716; the lions 0738 have driven [him] away 05080 08689: first 07223 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804 hath devoured 0398 08804 him; and last 0314 this Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 hath broken his bones 06105 08765.
18 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; Behold, I will punish 06485 08802 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 and his land 0776, as I have punished 06485 08804 the king 04428 of Assyria 0804.
19 And I will bring 07725 00 Israel 03478 again 07725 08790 to his habitation 05116, and he shall feed 07462 08804 on Carmel 03760 and Bashan 01316, and his soul 05315 shall be satisfied 07646 08799 upon mount 02022 Ephraim 0669 and Gilead 01568.
20 In those days 03117, and in that time 06256, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, the iniquity 05771 of Israel 03478 shall be sought for 01245 08792, and [there shall be] none; and the sins 02403 of Judah 03063, and they shall not be found 04672 08735: for I will pardon 05545 08799 them whom I reserve 07604 08686.
21 Go up 05927 08798 against the land 0776 of Merathaim 04850, [even] against it, and against the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Pekod 06489: waste 02717 08798 and utterly destroy 02763 08687 after 0310 them, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and do 06213 08798 according to all that I have commanded 06680 08765 thee.
22 A sound 06963 of battle 04421 [is] in the land 0776, and of great 01419 destruction 07667.
23 How is the hammer 06360 of the whole earth 0776 cut asunder 01438 08738 and broken 07665 08735! how is Babylon 0894 become a desolation 08047 among the nations 01471!
24 I have laid a snare 03369 08804 for thee, and thou art also taken 03920 08738, O Babylon 0894, and thou wast not aware 03045 08804: thou art found 04672 08738, and also caught 08610 08738, because thou hast striven 01624 08694 against the LORD 03068.
25 The LORD 03068 hath opened 06605 08804 his armoury 0214, and hath brought forth 03318 08686 the weapons 03627 of his indignation 02195: for this [is] the work 04399 of the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635 in the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778.
26 Come 0935 08798 against her from the utmost border 07093, open 06605 08798 her storehouses 03965: cast her up 05549 08798 as heaps 06194, and destroy her utterly 02763 08685: let nothing of her be left 07611.
27 Slay 02717 08798 all her bullocks 06499; let them go down 03381 08799 to the slaughter 02874: woe 01945 unto them! for their day 03117 is come 0935 08802, the time 06256 of their visitation 06486.
28 The voice 06963 of them that flee 05127 08801 and escape out 06405 of the land 0776 of Babylon 0894, to declare 05046 08687 in Zion 06726 the vengeance 05360 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430, the vengeance 05360 of his temple 01964.
29 Call together 08085 08685 the archers 07228 against Babylon 0894: all ye that bend 01869 08802 the bow 07198, camp 02583 08798 against it round about 05439; let none thereof escape 06413: recompense 07999 08761 her according to her work 06467; according to all that she hath done 06213 08804, do 06213 08798 unto her: for she hath been proud 02102 08804 against the LORD 03068, against the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478.
30 Therefore shall her young men 0970 fall 05307 08799 in the streets 07339, and all her men 0582 of war 04421 shall be cut off 01826 08735 in that day 03117, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
31 Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud 02087, saith 05002 08803 the Lord 0136 GOD 03069 of hosts 06635: for thy day 03117 is come 0935 08802, the time 06256 [that] I will visit 06485 08804 thee.
32 And the most proud 02087 shall stumble 03782 08804 and fall 05307 08804, and none shall raise him up 06965 08688: and I will kindle 03341 08689 a fire 0784 in his cities 05892, and it shall devour 0398 08804 all round about 05439 him.
33 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; The children 01121 of Israel 03478 and the children 01121 of Judah 03063 [were] oppressed 06231 08803 together 03162: and all that took them captives 07617 08802 held them fast 02388 08689; they refused 03985 08765 to let them go 07971 08763.
34 Their Redeemer 01350 08802 [is] strong 02389; the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 [is] his name 08034: he shall throughly 07378 08800 plead 07378 08799 their cause 07379, that he may give rest 07280 08689 to the land 0776, and disquiet 07264 08689 the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Babylon 0894.
35 A sword 02719 [is] upon the Chaldeans 03778, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, and upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Babylon 0894, and upon her princes 08269, and upon her wise 02450 [men].
36 A sword 02719 [is] upon the liars 0907; and they shall dote 02973 08738: a sword 02719 [is] upon her mighty men 01368; and they shall be dismayed 02865 08804.
37 A sword 02719 [is] upon their horses 05483, and upon their chariots 07393, and upon all the mingled people 06153 that [are] in the midst 08432 of her; and they shall become as women 0802: a sword 02719 [is] upon her treasures 0214; and they shall be robbed 0962 08795.
38 A drought 02721 [is] upon her waters 04325; and they shall be dried up 03001 08804: for it [is] the land 0776 of graven images 06456, and they are mad 01984 08704 upon [their] idols 0367.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert 06728 with the wild beasts of the islands 0338 shall dwell 03427 08799 [there], and the owls 01323 03284 shall dwell 03427 08804 therein: and it shall be no more inhabited 03427 08799 for ever 05331; neither shall it be dwelt 07931 08799 in from generation 01755 to generation 01755.
40 As God 0430 overthrew 04114 Sodom 05467 and Gomorrah 06017 and the neighbour 07934 [cities] thereof, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068; [so] shall no man 0376 abide 03427 08799 there, neither shall any son 01121 of man 0120 dwell 01481 08799 therein.
41 Behold, a people 05971 shall come 0935 08802 from the north 06828, and a great 01419 nation 01471, and many 07227 kings 04428 shall be raised up 05782 08735 from the coasts 03411 of the earth 0776.
42 They shall hold 02388 08686 the bow 07198 and the lance 03591: they [are] cruel 0394, and will not shew mercy 07355 08762: their voice 06963 shall roar 01993 08799 like the sea 03220, and they shall ride 07392 08799 upon horses 05483, [every one] put in array 06186 08803, like a man 0376 to the battle 04421, against thee, O daughter 01323 of Babylon 0894.
43 The king 04428 of Babylon 0894 hath heard 08085 08804 the report 08088 of them, and his hands 03027 waxed feeble 07503 08804: anguish 06869 took hold 02388 08689 of him, [and] pangs 02427 as of a woman in travail 03205 08802.
44 Behold, he shall come up 05927 08799 like a lion 0738 from the swelling 01347 of Jordan 03383 unto the habitation 05116 of the strong 0386: but I will make 07323 00 them suddenly 07280 08686 run away 07323 08686 08675 07323 08799 from her: and who [is] a chosen 0977 08803 [man, that] I may appoint 06485 08799 over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time 03259 08686? and who [is] that shepherd 07462 08802 that will stand 05975 08799 before 06440 me?
45 Therefore hear 08085 08798 ye the counsel 06098 of the LORD 03068, that he hath taken 03289 08804 against Babylon 0894; and his purposes 04284, that he hath purposed 02803 08804 against the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778: Surely the least 06810 of the flock 06629 shall draw them out 05498 08799: surely he shall make [their] habitation 05116 desolate 08074 08686 with them.
46 At the noise 06963 of the taking 08610 08738 of Babylon 0894 the earth 0776 is moved 07493 08735, and the cry 02201 is heard 08085 08738 among the nations 01471.
Jer 51
1 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will raise up 05782 08688 against Babylon 0894, and against them that dwell 03427 08802 in the midst 03820 of them that rise up 06965 08801 against me, a destroying 07843 08688 wind 07307;
2 And will send 07971 08765 unto Babylon 0894 fanners 02114 08801, that shall fan 02219 08765 her, and shall empty 01238 08787 her land 0776: for in the day 03117 of trouble 07451 they shall be against her round about 05439.
3 Against [him that] bendeth 01869 00 let the archer 01869 08802 bend 01869 08799 his bow 07198, and against [him that] lifteth himself up 05927 08691 in his brigandine 05630: and spare 02550 08799 ye not her young men 0970; destroy ye utterly 02763 08685 all her host 06635.
4 Thus the slain 02491 shall fall 05307 08804 in the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778, and [they that are] thrust through 01856 08794 in her streets 02351.
5 For Israel 03478 [hath] not [been] forsaken 0488, nor Judah 03063 of his God 0430, of the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; though their land 0776 was filled 04390 08804 with sin 0817 against the Holy One 06918 of Israel 03478.
6 Flee out 05127 08798 of the midst 08432 of Babylon 0894, and deliver 04422 08761 every man 0376 his soul 05315: be not cut off 01826 08735 in her iniquity 05771; for this [is] the time 06256 of the LORD'S 03068 vengeance 05360; he will render 07999 08764 unto her a recompence 01576.
7 Babylon 0894 [hath been] a golden 02091 cup 03563 in the LORD'S 03068 hand 03027, that made all the earth 0776 drunken 07937 08764: the nations 01471 have drunken 08354 08804 of her wine 03196; therefore the nations 01471 are mad 01984 08704.
8 Babylon 0894 is suddenly 06597 fallen 05307 08804 and destroyed 07665 08735: howl 03213 08685 for her; take 03947 08798 balm 06875 for her pain 04341, if so be she may be healed 07495 08735.
9 We would have healed 07495 08765 Babylon 0894, but she is not healed 07495 08738: forsake 05800 08798 her, and let us go 03212 08799 every one 0376 into his own country 0776: for her judgment 04941 reacheth 05060 08804 unto heaven 08064, and is lifted up 05375 08738 [even] to the skies 07834.
10 The LORD 03068 hath brought forth 03318 08689 our righteousness 06666: come 0935 08798, and let us declare 05608 08762 in Zion 06726 the work 04639 of the LORD 03068 our God 0430.
11 Make bright 01305 08685 the arrows 02671; gather 04390 08798 the shields 07982: the LORD 03068 hath raised up 05782 08689 the spirit 07307 of the kings 04428 of the Medes 04074: for his device 04209 [is] against Babylon 0894, to destroy 07843 08687 it; because it [is] the vengeance 05360 of the LORD 03068, the vengeance 05360 of his temple 01964.
12 Set up 05375 08798 the standard 05251 upon the walls 02346 of Babylon 0894, make the watch 04929 strong 02388 08685, set up 06965 08685 the watchmen 08104 08802, prepare 03559 08685 the ambushes 0693 08802: for the LORD 03068 hath both devised 02161 08804 and done 06213 08804 that which he spake 01696 08765 against the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Babylon 0894.
13 O thou that dwellest 07931 08802 08675 07931 08804 upon many 07227 waters 04325, abundant 07227 in treasures 0214, thine end 07093 is come 0935 08802, [and] the measure 0520 of thy covetousness 01215.
14 The LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 hath sworn 07650 08738 by himself 05315, [saying], Surely I will fill 04390 08765 thee with men 0120, as with caterpillers 03218; and they shall lift up 06030 08804 a shout 01959 against thee.
15 He hath made 06213 08802 the earth 0776 by his power 03581, he hath established 03559 08688 the world 08398 by his wisdom 02451, and hath stretched out 05186 08804 the heaven 08064 by his understanding 08394.
16 When he uttereth 05414 08800 [his] voice 06963, [there is] a multitude 01995 of waters 04325 in the heavens 08064; and he causeth the vapours 05387 to ascend 05927 08686 from the ends 07097 of the earth 0776: he maketh 06213 08804 lightnings 01300 with rain 04306, and bringeth forth 03318 08686 the wind 07307 out of his treasures 0214.
17 Every man 0120 is brutish 01197 08738 by [his] knowledge 01847; every founder 06884 08802 is confounded 03001 08689 by the graven image 06459: for his molten image 05262 [is] falsehood 08267, and [there is] no breath 07307 in them.
18 They [are] vanity 01892, the work 04639 of errors 08595: in the time 06256 of their visitation 06486 they shall perish 06 08799.
19 The portion 02506 of Jacob 03290 [is] not like them; for he [is] the former 03335 08802 of all things: and [Israel is] the rod 07626 of his inheritance 05159: the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635 [is] his name 08034.
20 Thou [art] my battle axe 04661 [and] weapons 03627 of war 04421: for with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 the nations 01471, and with thee will I destroy 07843 08689 kingdoms 04467;
21 And with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 the horse 05483 and his rider 07392 08802; and with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 the chariot 07393 and his rider 07392 08802;
22 With thee also will I break in pieces 05310 08765 man 0376 and woman 0802; and with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 old 02205 and young 05288; and with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 the young man 0970 and the maid 01330;
23 I will also break in pieces 05310 08765 with thee the shepherd 07462 08802 and his flock 05739; and with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 the husbandman 0406 and his yoke of oxen 06776; and with thee will I break in pieces 05310 08765 captains 06346 and rulers 05461.
24 And I will render 07999 08765 unto Babylon 0894 and to all the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Chaldea 03778 all their evil 07451 that they have done 06213 08804 in Zion 06726 in your sight 05869, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
25 Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying 04889 mountain 02022, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, which destroyest 07843 08688 all the earth 0776: and I will stretch out 05186 08804 mine hand 03027 upon thee, and roll thee down 01556 08773 from the rocks 05553, and will make 05414 08804 thee a burnt 08316 mountain 02022.
26 And they shall not take 03947 08799 of thee a stone 068 for a corner 06438, nor a stone 068 for foundations 04146; but thou shalt be desolate 08077 for ever 05769, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
27 Set ye up 05375 08798 a standard 05251 in the land 0776, blow 08628 08798 the trumpet 07782 among the nations 01471, prepare 06942 08761 the nations 01471 against her, call together 08085 08685 against her the kingdoms 04467 of Ararat 0780, Minni 04508, and Ashchenaz 0813; appoint 06485 08798 a captain 02951 against her; cause the horses 05483 to come up 05927 08685 as the rough 05569 caterpillers 03218.
28 Prepare 06942 08761 against her the nations 01471 with the kings 04428 of the Medes 04074, the captains 06346 thereof, and all the rulers 05461 thereof, and all the land 0776 of his dominion 04475.
29 And the land 0776 shall tremble 07493 08799 and sorrow 02342 08799: for every purpose 04284 of the LORD 03068 shall be performed 06965 08804 against Babylon 0894, to make 07760 08800 the land 0776 of Babylon 0894 a desolation 08047 without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
30 The mighty men 01368 of Babylon 0894 have forborn 02308 08804 to fight 03898 08736, they have remained 03427 08804 in [their] holds 04679: their might 01369 hath failed 05405 08804; they became as women 0802: they have burned 03341 08689 her dwellingplaces 04908; her bars 01280 are broken 07665 08738.
31 One post 07323 08801 shall run 07323 08799 to meet 07125 08800 another 07323 08801, and one messenger 05046 08688 to meet 07125 08800 another 05046 08688, to shew 05046 08687 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 that his city 05892 is taken 03920 08738 at [one] end 07097,
32 And that the passages 04569 are stopped 08610 08738, and the reeds 098 they have burned 08313 08804 with fire 0784, and the men 0582 of war 04421 are affrighted 0926 08738.
33 For thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635, the God 0430 of Israel 03478; The daughter 01323 of Babylon 0894 [is] like a threshingfloor 01637, [it is] time 06256 to thresh 01869 08687 her: yet a little while 04592, and the time 06256 of her harvest 07105 shall come 0935 08804.
34 Nebuchadrezzar 05019 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 hath devoured 0398 08804 me, he hath crushed 02000 08804 me, he hath made 03322 08689 me an empty 07385 vessel 03627, he hath swallowed me up 01104 08804 like a dragon 08577, he hath filled 04390 08765 his belly 03770 with my delicates 05730, he hath cast me out 01740 08689.
35 The violence 02555 done to me and to my flesh 07607 [be] upon Babylon 0894, shall the inhabitant 03427 08802 of Zion 06726 say 0559 08799; and my blood 01818 upon the inhabitants 03427 08802 of Chaldea 03778, shall Jerusalem 03389 say 0559 08799.
36 Therefore thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068; Behold, I will plead 07378 08801 thy cause 07379, and take vengeance 05358 08765 for thee 05360; and I will dry up 02717 08689 her sea 03220, and make her springs 04726 dry 03001 08689.
37 And Babylon 0894 shall become heaps 01530, a dwellingplace 04583 for dragons 08577, an astonishment 08047, and an hissing 08322, without an inhabitant 03427 08802.
38 They shall roar 07580 08799 together 03162 like lions 03715: they shall yell 05286 08804 as lions' 0738 whelps 01484.
39 In their heat 02527 I will make 07896 08799 their feasts 04960, and I will make them drunken 07937 08689, that they may rejoice 05937 08799, and sleep 03462 08804 a perpetual 05769 sleep 08142, and not wake 06974 08686, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
40 I will bring them down 03381 08686 like lambs 03733 to the slaughter 02873 08800, like rams 0352 with he goats 06260.
41 How is Sheshach 08347 taken 03920 08738! and how is the praise 08416 of the whole earth 0776 surprised 08610 08735! how is Babylon 0894 become an astonishment 08047 among the nations 01471!
42 The sea 03220 is come up 05927 08804 upon Babylon 0894: she is covered 03680 08738 with the multitude 01995 of the waves 01530 thereof.
43 Her cities 05892 are a desolation 08047, a dry 06723 land 0776, and a wilderness 06160, a land 0776 wherein no man 0376 dwelleth 03427 08799, neither doth [any] son 01121 of man 0120 pass 05674 08799 thereby 02004.
44 And I will punish 06485 08804 Bel 01078 in Babylon 0894, and I will bring forth 03318 08689 out of his mouth 06310 that which he hath swallowed up 01105: and the nations 01471 shall not flow together 05102 08799 any more unto him: yea, the wall 02346 of Babylon 0894 shall fall 05307 08804.
45 My people 05971, go ye out 03318 08798 of the midst 08432 of her, and deliver 04422 08761 ye every man 0376 his soul 05315 from the fierce 02740 anger 0639 of the LORD 03068.
46 And lest your heart 03824 faint 07401 08735, and ye fear 03372 08799 for the rumour 08052 that shall be heard 08085 08737 in the land 0776; a rumour 08052 shall both come 0935 08804 [one] year 08141, and after 0310 that in [another] year 08141 [shall come] a rumour 08052, and violence 02555 in the land 0776, ruler 04910 08802 against ruler 04910 08802.
47 Therefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, that I will do judgment 06485 08804 upon the graven images 06456 of Babylon 0894: and her whole land 0776 shall be confounded 0954 08799, and all her slain 02491 shall fall 05307 08799 in the midst 08432 of her.
48 Then the heaven 08064 and the earth 0776, and all that [is] therein, shall sing 07442 08765 for Babylon 0894: for the spoilers 07703 08802 shall come 0935 08799 unto her from the north 06828, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
49 As 01571 Babylon 0894 [hath caused] the slain 02491 of Israel 03478 to fall 05307 08800, so at Babylon 0894 shall fall 05307 08804 the slain 02491 of all the earth 0776.
50 Ye that have escaped 06405 the sword 02719, go away 01980 08798, stand not still 05975 08799: remember 02142 08798 the LORD 03068 afar off 07350, and let Jerusalem 03389 come 05927 08799 into your mind 03824.
51 We are confounded 0954 08804, because we have heard 08085 08804 reproach 02781: shame 03639 hath covered 03680 08765 our faces 06440: for strangers 02114 08801 are come 0935 08804 into the sanctuaries 04720 of the LORD'S 03068 house 01004.
52 Wherefore, behold, the days 03117 come 0935 08802, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068, that I will do judgment 06485 08804 upon her graven images 06456: and through all her land 0776 the wounded 02491 shall groan 0602 08799.
53 Though Babylon 0894 should mount up 05927 08799 to heaven 08064, and though she should fortify 01219 08762 the height 04791 of her strength 05797, [yet] 0227 from me shall spoilers 07703 08802 come 0935 08799 unto her, saith 05002 08803 the LORD 03068.
54 A sound 06963 of a cry 02201 [cometh] from Babylon 0894, and great 01419 destruction 07667 from the land 0776 of the Chaldeans 03778:
55 Because the LORD 03068 hath spoiled 07703 08802 Babylon 0894, and destroyed 06 08765 out of her the great 01419 voice 06963; when her waves 01530 do roar 01993 08804 like great 07227 waters 04325, a noise 07588 of their voice 06963 is uttered 05414 08738:
56 Because the spoiler 07703 08802 is come 0935 08804 upon her, [even] upon Babylon 0894, and her mighty men 01368 are taken 03920 08738, every one of their bows 07198 is broken 02865 08765: for the LORD 03068 God 0410 of recompences 01578 shall surely 07999 08763 requite 07999 08762.
57 And I will make drunk 07937 08689 her princes 08269, and her wise 02450 [men], her captains 06346, and her rulers 05461, and her mighty men 01368: and they shall sleep 03462 08804 a perpetual 05769 sleep 08142, and not wake 06974 08686, saith 05002 08803 the King 04428, whose name 08034 [is] the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635.
58 Thus saith 0559 08804 the LORD 03068 of hosts 06635; The broad 07342 walls 02346 of Babylon 0894 shall be utterly 06209 08771 broken 06209 08698, and her high 01364 gates 08179 shall be burned 03341 08799 with fire 0784; and the people 05971 shall labour 03021 08799 in vain 07385, and the folk 03816 in 01767 the fire 0784, and they shall be weary 03286 08804.
59 The word 01697 which Jeremiah 03414 the prophet 05030 commanded 06680 08765 Seraiah 08304 the son 01121 of Neriah 05374, the son 01121 of Maaseiah 04271, when he went 03212 08800 with Zedekiah 06667 the king 04428 of Judah 03063 into Babylon 0894 in the fourth 07243 year 08141 of his reign 04427 08800. And [this] Seraiah 08304 [was] a quiet 04496 prince 08269.
60 So Jeremiah 03414 wrote 03789 08799 in a 0259 book 05612 all the evil 07451 that should come 0935 08799 upon Babylon 0894, [even] all these words 01697 that are written 03789 08803 against Babylon 0894.
61 And Jeremiah 03414 said 0559 08799 to Seraiah 08304, When thou comest 0935 08800 to Babylon 0894, and shalt see 07200 08804, and shalt read 07121 08804 all these words 01697;
62 Then shalt thou say 0559 08804, O LORD 03068, thou hast spoken 01696 08765 against this place 04725, to cut it off 03772 08687, that none shall remain 03427 08802 in it, neither man 0120 nor beast 0929, but that it shall be desolate 08077 for ever 05769.
63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end 03615 08763 of reading 07121 08800 this book 05612, [that] thou shalt bind 07194 08799 a stone 068 to it, and cast 07993 08689 it into the midst 08432 of Euphrates 06578:
64 And thou shalt say 0559 08804, Thus shall Babylon 0894 sink 08257 08799, and shall not rise 06965 08799 from 06440 the evil 07451 that I will bring 0935 08688 upon her: and they shall be weary 03286 08804. Thus far [are] the words 01697 of Jeremiah 03414.
Jer 52
1 Zedekiah 06667 [was] one 0259 and twenty 06242 years 08141 old 01121 when he began to reign 04427 08800, and he reigned 04427 08804 eleven 0259 06240 years 08141 in Jerusalem 03389. And his mother's 0517 name 08034 [was] Hamutal 02537 the daughter 01323 of Jeremiah 03414 of Libnah 03841.
2 And he did 06213 08799 [that which was] evil 07451 in the eyes 05869 of the LORD 03068, according to all that Jehoiakim 03079 had done 06213 08804.
3 For through 05921 the anger 0639 of the LORD 03068 it came to pass in Jerusalem 03389 and Judah 03063, till he had cast them out 07993 08687 from his presence 06440, that Zedekiah 06667 rebelled 04775 08799 against the king 04428 of Babylon 0894.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth 08671 year 08141 of his reign 04427 08800, in the tenth 06224 month 02320, in the tenth 06218 [day] of the month 02320, [that] Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 came 0935 08804, he and all his army 02428, against Jerusalem 03389, and pitched 02583 08799 against it, and built 01129 08799 forts 01785 against it round about 05439.
5 So 0935 08799 the city 05892 was besieged 04692 unto the eleventh 06249 06240 year 08141 of king 04428 Zedekiah 06667.
6 And in the fourth 07243 month 02320, in the ninth 08672 [day] of the month 02320, the famine 07458 was sore 02388 08799 in the city 05892, so that there was no bread 03899 for the people 05971 of the land 0776.
7 Then the city 05892 was broken up 01234 08735, and all the men 0582 of war 04421 fled 01272 08799, and went forth 03318 08799 out of the city 05892 by night 03915 by the way 01870 of the gate 08179 between the two walls 02346, which [was] by the king's 04428 garden 01588; (now the Chaldeans 03778 [were] by the city 05892 round about 05439:) and they went 03212 08799 by the way 01870 of the plain 06160.
8 But the army 02428 of the Chaldeans 03778 pursued 07291 08799 after 0310 the king 04428, and overtook 05381 08686 Zedekiah 06667 in the plains 06160 of Jericho 03405; and all his army 02428 was scattered 06327 08738 from him.
9 Then they took 08610 08799 the king 04428, and carried him up 05927 08686 unto the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 to Riblah 07247 in the land 0776 of Hamath 02574; where he gave 01696 08762 judgment 04941 upon him.
10 And the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 slew 07819 08799 the sons 01121 of Zedekiah 06667 before his eyes 05869: he slew 07819 08804 also all the princes 08269 of Judah 03063 in Riblah 07247.
11 Then he put out 05786 08765 the eyes 05869 of Zedekiah 06667; and the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 bound 0631 08799 him in chains 05178, and carried 0935 08686 him to Babylon 0894, and put 05414 08799 him in prison 01004 06486 till the day 03117 of his death 04194.
12 Now in the fifth 02549 month 02320, in the tenth 06218 [day] of the month 02320, which [was] the nineteenth 08672 06240 08141 year 08141 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 king 04428 of Babylon 0894, came 0935 08804 Nebuzaradan 05018, captain 07227 of the guard 02876, [which] served 05975 08804 06440 the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, into Jerusalem 03389,
13 And burned 08313 08799 the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the king's 04428 house 01004; and all the houses 01004 of Jerusalem 03389, and all the houses 01004 of the great 01419 [men], burned 08313 08804 he with fire 0784:
14 And all the army 02428 of the Chaldeans 03778, that [were] with the captain 07227 of the guard 02876, brake down 05422 08804 all the walls 02346 of Jerusalem 03389 round about 05439.
15 Then Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 carried away captive 01540 08689 [certain] of the poor 01803 of the people 05971, and the residue 03499 of the people 05971 that remained 07604 08737 in the city 05892, and those that fell away 05307 08802, that fell 05307 08804 to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, and the rest 03499 of the multitude 0527.
16 But Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 left 07604 08689 [certain] of the poor 01803 of the land 0776 for vinedressers 03755 and for husbandmen 03009 08802.
17 Also the pillars 05982 of brass 05178 that [were] in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, and the bases 04350, and the brasen 05178 sea 03220 that [was] in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068, the Chaldeans 03778 brake 07665 08765, and carried 05375 08799 all the brass 05178 of them to Babylon 0894.
18 The caldrons 05518 also, and the shovels 03257, and the snuffers 04212, and the bowls 04219, and the spoons 03709, and all the vessels 03627 of brass 05178 wherewith they ministered 08334 08762, took they away 03947 08804.
19 And the basons 05592, and the firepans 04289, and the bowls 04219, and the caldrons 05518, and the candlesticks 04501, and the spoons 03709, and the cups 04518; [that] which [was] of gold 02091 [in] gold 02091, and [that] which [was] of silver 03701 [in] silver 03701, took 03947 00 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 away 03947 08804.
20 The two 08147 pillars 05982, one 0259 sea 03220, and twelve 08147 06240 brasen 05178 bulls 01241 that [were] under the bases 04350, which king 04428 Solomon 08010 had made 06213 08804 in the house 01004 of the LORD 03068: the brass 05178 of all these vessels 03627 was without weight 04948.
21 And [concerning] the pillars 05982, the height 06967 of one 0259 pillar 05982 [was] eighteen 08083 06240 cubits 0520; and a fillet 02339 of twelve 08147 06240 cubits 0520 did compass 05437 08799 it; and the thickness 05672 thereof [was] four 0702 fingers 0676: [it was] hollow 05014 08803.
22 And a chapiter 03805 of brass 05178 [was] upon it; and the height 06967 of one 0259 chapiter 03805 [was] five 02568 cubits 0520, with network 07639 and pomegranates 07416 upon the chapiters 03805 round about 05439, all [of] brass 05178. The second 08145 pillar 05982 also and the pomegranates 07416 [were] like unto these.
23 And there were ninety 08673 and six 08337 pomegranates 07416 on a side 07307; [and] all the pomegranates 07416 upon the network 07639 [were] an hundred 03967 round about 05439.
24 And the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took 03947 08799 Seraiah 08304 the chief 07218 priest 03548, and Zephaniah 06846 the second 04932 priest 03548, and the three 07969 keepers 08104 08802 of the door 05592:
25 He took 03947 08804 also out of the city 05892 an 0259 eunuch 05631, which had the charge 06496 of the men 0582 of war 04421; and seven 07651 men 0582 of them that were near 07200 08802 the king's 04428 person 06440, which were found 04672 08738 in the city 05892; and the principal 08269 scribe 05608 08802 of the host 06635, who mustered 06633 08688 the people 05971 of the land 0776; and threescore 08346 men 0376 of the people 05971 of the land 0776, that were found 04672 08737 in the midst 08432 of the city 05892.
26 So Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 took 03947 08799 them, and brought 03212 08686 them to the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 to Riblah 07247.
27 And the king 04428 of Babylon 0894 smote 05221 08686 them, and put them to death 04191 08686 in Riblah 07247 in the land 0127 of Hamath 02574. Thus Judah 03063 was carried away captive 01540 08799 out of his own land 0776.
28 This [is] the people 05971 whom Nebuchadrezzar 05019 carried away captive 01540 08689: in the seventh 07651 year 08141 three 07969 thousand 0505 Jews 03064 and three 07969 and twenty 06242:
29 In the eighteenth 08083 06240 year 08141 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 he carried away captive 01540 08689 from Jerusalem 03389 eight 08083 hundred 03967 thirty 07970 and two 08147 persons 05315:
30 In the three 07969 and twentieth 06242 year 08141 of Nebuchadrezzar 05019 Nebuzaradan 05018 the captain 07227 of the guard 02876 carried away captive 01540 08689 of the Jews 03064 seven 07651 hundred 03967 forty 0705 and five 02568 persons 05315: all the persons 05315 [were] four 0702 thousand 0505 and six 08337 hundred 03967.
31 And it came to pass in the seven 07651 and thirtieth 07970 year 08141 of the captivity 01546 of Jehoiachin 03078 king 04428 of Judah 03063, in the twelfth 08147 06240 month 02320, in the five 02568 and twentieth 06242 [day] of the month 02320, [that] Evilmerodach 0192 king 04428 of Babylon 0894 in the [first] year 08141 of his reign 04438 lifted up 05375 08804 the head 07218 of Jehoiachin 03078 king 04428 of Judah 03063, and brought him forth 03318 08686 out of prison 01004 03628,
32 And spake 01696 08762 kindly 02896 unto him, and set 05414 08799 his throne 03678 above 04605 the throne 03678 of the kings 04428 that [were] with him in Babylon 0894,
33 And changed 08138 08765 his prison 03608 garments 0899: and he did continually 08548 eat 0398 08804 bread 03899 before 06440 him all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
34 And [for] his diet 0737, there was a continual 08548 diet 0737 given 05414 08738 him of the king 04428 of Babylon 0894, every 03117 day 03117 a portion 01697 until the day 03117 of his death 04194, all the days 03117 of his life 02416.
