24. [Thus] shalt thou also speak <0559 >amar > to Shemaiah

<0559 >amar >,

25 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Because thou hast

shem > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that [are] at

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and to Zephaniah <6846

Ts@phanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah >

the priest <3548 kohen >, and to all <3605 kol > the priests

<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,

26 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made <5414 nathan > thee

priest <3548 kohen > in the stead <8478 tachath > of Jehoiada

<3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >, that ye should be

officers <6496 paqiyd > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, for every man <0376 >iysh > [that is] mad <7696

shouldest put <5414 nathan > him in prison <4115 mahpeketh >,

and in the stocks <6729 tsiynoq >.

27 Now <6258 <attah > therefore why <4100 mah > hast thou not

reproved <1605 ga<ar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > of Anathoth

<6068 <Anathowth >, which maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba> >

to you?

28 For therefore he sent <7971 shalach > unto us [in] Babylon

<0894 Babel >, saying <0559 >amar >, This <1931 huw> >

[captivity is] long <0752 >arok >: build <1129 banah > ye houses

<1004 bayith >, and dwell <3427 yashab > [in them]; and plant

<5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah >, and eat <0398 >akal > the

fruit <6529 p@riy > of them.

29 And Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the priest <3548 kohen >

read <7121 qara> > this letter <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241

>ozen > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >.

30 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559

>amar >,

31 Send <7971 shalach > to all <3605 kol > them of the

captivity <1473 gowlah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413

caused you to trust <0982 batach > in a lie <8267 sheqer >:

32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will punish

<6485 paqad > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161

Nechelamiy >, and his seed <2233 zera< >: he shall not have

<1961 hayah > a man <0376 >iysh > to dwell <3427 yashab > among

<8432 tavek > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >; neither <3808

will do <6213 <asah > for my people <5971 <am >, saith <5002

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588 kiy > he hath

taught <1696 dabar > rebellion <5627 carah > against <5921 <al >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

Jeremiah 30

1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559

>amar >,

2 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Write <3789 kathab > thee all <3605 kol >

the words <1697 dabar > that I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto

thee in a book <5612 cepher >.

3 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

>, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that I will

bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622

sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >: and I will cause them to return <7725 shuwb > to the

land <0776 >erets > that I gave <5414 nathan > to their fathers

<1>, and they shall possess <3423 yarash > it.

4 And these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the words <1697 dabar > that

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > concerning <0413

>el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and concerning <0413 >el > Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah >.

5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >; We have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > of

trembling <2731 charadah >, of fear <6343 pachad >, and not of

peace <7965 shalowm >.

6 Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> >, and see <7200 ra>ah >

whether <0518 >im > a man <2145 zakar > doth travail <3205 yalad

<7200 ra>ah > every <3605 kol > man <1397 geber > with his hands

<3027 yad > on <5921 <al > his loins <2504 chalats >, as a woman

in travail <3205 yalad >, and all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym

7 Alas <1945 howy >! for that day <3117 yowm > [is] great <1419

gadowl >, so that none <0369 >ayin > [is] like <3644 k@mow > it:

it [is] even the time <6256 <eth > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob >

trouble <6869 tsarah >; but he shall be saved <3467 yasha< > out

of it.

8 For it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117

yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts

<6635 tsaba> >, [that] I will break <7665 shabar > his yoke

<5923 <ol > from off <5921 <al > thy neck <6677 tsavva>r >, and

will burst <5423 nathaq > thy bonds <4147 mowcer >, and

strangers <2114 zuwr > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >

serve <5647 <abad > themselves of him:

9 But they shall serve <5647 <abad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

their God <0430 >elohiym >, and David <1732 David > their king

<4428 melek >, whom <0834 >aher > I will raise <6965 quwm > up

unto them.

10. Therefore fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O my servant <5650

<ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >; neither <0408 >al > be dismayed <2865 chathath

save <3467 yasha< > thee from afar <7350 rachowq >, and thy seed

<2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity

<7628 sh@biy >; and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shall return <7725

shuwb >, and shall be in rest <8252 shaqat >, and be quiet <7599

sha>an >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall make [him] afraid <2729

charad >.

11 For I [am] with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, to save <3467 yasha< > thee: though <3588 kiy > I

make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > of all <3605 kol >

nations <1471 gowy > whither I have scattered <6327 puwts > thee,

yet <0389 >ak > will I not make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615

kalah > of thee: but I will correct <3256 yacar > thee in

measure <4941 mishpat >, and will not leave thee altogether

unpunished <5352 naqah >.

12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, Thy bruise <7667 sheber > [is] incurable <0605 >anash

13 [There is] none <0369 >ayin > to plead <1777 diyn > thy

cause <1779 diyn >, that thou mayest be bound <4205 mazowr > up:

thou hast no <0369 >ayin > healing <8585 t@<alah > medicines

<7499 r@phu>ah >.

14 All <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > have forgotten

<7911 shakach > thee; they seek <1875 darash > thee not; for I

have wounded <5221 nakah > thee with the wound <4347 makkah > of

an enemy <0341 >oyeb >, with the chastisement <4148 muwcar > of

a cruel <0394 >akzariy > one, for the multitude <7230 rob > of

thine iniquity <5771 <avon >; [because] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah

15 Why <4100 mah > criest <2199 za<aq > thou for thine

affliction <7667 sheber >? thy sorrow <4341 mak>ob > [is]

incurable <0605 >anash > for the multitude <7230 rob > of thine

iniquity <5771 <avon >: [because] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah >

were increased <6105 <atsam >, I have done <6213 <asah > these

<0428 >el-leh > things unto thee.

16 Therefore <3651 ken > all <3605 kol > they that devour <0398

>akal > thee shall be devoured <0398 >akal >; and all <3605 kol

> thine adversaries <6862 tsar >, every <3605 kol > one of them,

shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7633 shibyah >; and they

that spoil <7701 shod > thee shall be a spoil <4933 m@chiccah >,

and all <3605 kol > that prey <0962 bazaz > upon thee will I

give <5414 nathan > for a prey <7998 shalal >.

17 For I will restore <5927 <alah > health <0724 >aruwkah >

unto thee, and I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee of thy wounds

<4347 makkah >, saith the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588

kiy > they called <7121 qara> > thee an Outcast <5080 nadach >,

[saying], This <1931 huw> > [is] Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, whom no

<0369 >ayin > man seeketh <1875 darash > after <0310 >achar >.

18. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

>; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725

shuwb > the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob

dwellingplaces <4908 mishkan >; and the city <5892 <iyr > shall

be builded <1129 banah > upon her own heap <8510 tel >, and the

palace <0759 >armown > shall remain <3427 yashab > after <5921

<al > the manner <4941 mishpat > thereof.

19 And out of them shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > thanksgiving

<8426 towdah > and the voice <6963 qowl > of them that make

merry <7832 sachaq >: and I will multiply <7235 rabah > them,

and they shall not be few <4591 ma<at >; I will also glorify

<3513 kabad > them, and they shall not be small <6819 tsa<ar >.

20 Their children <1121 ben > also shall be as aforetime <6924

qedem >, and their congregation <5712 <edah > shall be

established <3559 kuwn > before <6440 paniym > me, and I will

punish <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > that oppress <3905 lachats

21 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > shall be of themselves, and

their governor <4910 mashal > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from

the midst <7130 qereb > of them; and I will cause him to draw

near <7126 qarab >, and he shall approach <5066 nagash > unto me:

for who <4310 miy > [is] this that engaged <6148 <arab > his

heart <3820 leb > to approach <5066 nagash > unto me? saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

22 And ye shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be your

God <0430 >elohiym >.

23 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >

with fury <2534 chemah >, a continuing <1641 garar > whirlwind

<5591 ca<ar >: it shall fall <2342 chuwl > with pain <2342 chuwl

24 The fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD

Jeremiah 31

1. At the same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth >, saith <5002

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, will I be the God <0430

>elohiym > of all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and they shall be my people <5971 <am >.

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

The people <5971 <am > [which were] left <8300 sariyd > of the

sword <2719 chereb > found <4672 matsa> > grace <2580 chen > in

the wilderness <4057 midbar >; [even] Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,

when I went <1980 halak > to cause him to rest <7280 raga< >.

3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath appeared <7200 ra>ah > of old

<7350 rachowq > unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved <0157 >ahab

therefore with lovingkindness <2617 checed > have I drawn <4900

mashak > thee.

4 Again <5750 <owd > I will build <1129 banah > thee, and thou

shalt be built <1129 banah >, O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: thou shalt again <5750 <owd > be

adorned <5710 <adah > with thy tabrets <8596 toph >, and shalt

go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > in the dances of them

that make merry <7832 sachaq >.

5 Thou shalt yet <5750 <owd > plant <5193 nata< > vines <3754

kerem > upon the mountains <2022 har > of Samaria <8111

Shom@rown >: the planters <5193 nata< > shall plant <5193 nata<

6 For there shall be a day <3117 yowm >, [that] the watchmen

<5341 natsar > upon the mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669

>Ephrayim > shall cry <7121 qara> >, Arise <6965 quwm > ye, and

let us go <5927 <alah > up to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > unto the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.

7 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >; Sing <7442 ranan > with gladness <8057 simchah > for

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and shout <6670 tsahal > among the chief

<7218 ro>sh > of the nations <1471 gowy >: publish <8085 shama<

<3068 Y@hovah >, save <3467 yasha< > thy people <5971 <am >, the

remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

8 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > them from the

north <6828 tsaphown > country <0776 >erets >, and gather <6908

qabats > them from the coasts <3411 y@rekah > of the earth <0776

>erets >, [and] with them the blind <5787 <ivver > and the lame

<6455 picceach >, the woman with child <2030 hareh > and her

that travaileth <3205 yalad > with child <3205 yalad > together

<3162 yachad >: a great <1419 gadowl > company <6951 qahal >

shall return <7725 shuwb > thither <2008 hennah >.

9 They shall come <0935 bow> > with weeping <1065 B@kiy >, and

with supplications <8469 tachanuwn > will I lead <2986 yabal >

them: I will cause them to walk <1980 halak > by the rivers

<5158 nachal > of waters <4325 mayim > in a straight <3474

yashar > way <1870 derek >, wherein they shall not stumble <3782

kashal >: for I am a father <1> to Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and

Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [is] my firstborn <1060 b@kowr >.

10. Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, O ye nations <1471 gowy >, and declare <5046

nagad > [it] in the isles <0339 >iy > afar <4801 merchaq > off,

and say <0559 >amar >, He that scattered <2219 zarah > Israel

<3478 Yisra>el > will gather <6908 qabats > him, and keep <8104

shamar > him, as a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > [doth] his flock <5739

<eder >.

11 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <6299 padah >

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and ransomed <1350 ga>al > him from the

hand <3027 yad > of [him that was] stronger <2388 chazaq > than

he.

12 Therefore they shall come <0935 bow> > and sing <7442 ranan

shall flow <5102 nahar > together to the goodness <2898 tuwb >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, for wheat <1715 dagan >, and for

wine <8492 tiyrowsh >, and for oil <3323 yitshar >, and for the

young <1121 ben > of the flock <6629 tso>n > and of the herd

<1241 baqar >: and their soul <5315 nephesh > shall be as a

watered <7302 raveh > garden <1588 gan >; and they shall not

sorrow <1669 da>ab > any more <3254 yacaph > at all.

13 Then shall the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > rejoice <8057

simchah > in the dance <4234 machowl >, both young <0970 bachuwr

turn <2015 haphak > their mourning <60> into joy <8342 sasown >,

and will comfort <5162 nacham > them, and make them rejoice

<8057 simchah > from their sorrow <3015 yagown >.

14 And I will satiate <7301 ravah > the soul <5315 nephesh > of

the priests <3548 kohen > with fatness <1880 deshen >, and my

people <5971 <am > shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > with my

15 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Ramah >, lamentation <5092 n@hiy >, [and] bitter <8563 tamruwr >

comforted <5162 nacham > for her children <1121 ben >, because

16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<1065 B@kiy >, and thine eyes <5869 <ayin > from tears <1832

17 And there is hope <8615 tiqvah > in thine end <0319

thy children <1121 ben > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725

18. I have surely heard <8085 shama< > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim

[art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym >.

19 Surely <3588 kiy > after <0310 >achar > that I was turned

20 [Is] Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > my dear <3357 yaqqiyr > son

<1121 ben >? [is he] a pleasant <8191 sha<shua< > child <3205

I do earnestly remember <2142 zakar > him still <5750 <owd >:

21 Set <5324 natsab > thee up waymarks <6725 tsiyuwn >, make

23 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<1288 barak > thee, O habitation <5116 naveh > of justice <6664

[that] go <5265 naca< > forth <5265 naca< > with flocks <5739

25 For I have satiated <7301 ravah > the weary <5889 <ayeph >

soul <5315 nephesh >, and I have replenished <4390 male> > every

27. Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935

29 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > they shall say <0559

Jeremiah 32

1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the tenth

<6224 <asiyriy > year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah

<5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >.

2 For then <0227 >az > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's

<0894 Babel > army <2428 chayil > besieged <6696 tsuwr >

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > was shut <3607 kala> > up in the

<0834 >aher > [was] in the king <4428 melek > of Judah's <3063

3 For Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > had shut <3607 kala> > him up, saying <0559

4 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > shall not escape <4422 malat > out of the hand

6 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, The word

unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,

7 Behold <2009 hinneh >, Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > the son

<6068 <Anathowth >: for the right <4941 mishpat > of redemption

<1353 g@ullah > [is] thine to buy <7069 qanah > [it].

8 So Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > son

of the prison <4307 mattara> > according to the word <1697 dabar

yada< > that this <1931 huw> > [was] the word <1697 dabar > of

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

9 And I bought <7069 qanah > the field <7704 sadeh > of

Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > my uncle's <1733 dowdah > son <1121

10 And I subscribed <3789 kathab > the evidence <5612 cepher >,

and weighed <8254 shaqal > [him] the money <3701 keceph > in the

11 So I took <3947 laqach > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the

chatham > [according] to the law <4687 mitsvah > and custom

<2706 choq >, and that which was open <1540 galah >:

12 And I gave <5414 nathan > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the

purchase <4736 miqnah > unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121

Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > [son], and in the

presence <5869 <ayin > of the witnesses <5707 <ed > that

the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that sat <3427 yashab > in the court

<2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.

13 And I charged <6680 tsavah > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > before

<5869 <ayin > them, saying <0559 >amar >,

14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

29 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, that fight <3898 lacham >

against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, shall

30 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and

the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have only

33 And they have turned <6437 panah > unto me the back <6203

41 Yea, I will rejoice <7797 suws > over <5921 <al > them to do

1. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah

when Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek >

the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Go <1980

3 And thou shalt not escape <4422 malat > out of his hand <3027

for I have pronounced <1696 dabar > the word <1697 dabar >,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

6 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

spake <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words

<1697 dabar > unto Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek >

7 When the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against <5921 <al > all

<3063 Y@huwdah >.

8. [This is] the word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah >

unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

after <0310 >achar > that the king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667

Tsidqiyah > had made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth >

with all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher >

[were] at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, to proclaim <7121

qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr > unto them;

9 That every man <0376 >iysh > should let his manservant <5650

<ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198

shiphchah >, [being] an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > or an Hebrewess

<5680 <Ibriy >, go <7971 shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >; that

none <1115 biltiy > should serve <5647 <abad > himself of them,

[to wit], of a Jew <3064 Y@huwdiy > his brother <0251 >ach >.

10 Now when all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar >, and all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > had

entered <0935 bow> > into the covenant <1285 b@riyth >, heard

<8085 shama< > that every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > should

let his manservant <5650 <ebed >, and every <0376 >iysh > one

<0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198 shiphchah >, go <7971

shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >, that none <1115 biltiy >

should serve <5647 <abad > themselves of them any more <5750

<owd >, then they obeyed <8085 shama< >, and let [them] go <7971

shalach >.

11 But afterward they turned <7725 shuwb >, and caused the

servants <5650 <ebed > and the handmaids <8198 shiphchah >, whom

<0834 >aher > they had let go <7971 shalach > free <2670

chophshiy >, to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought <3533 kabash >

them into subjection <3533 kabash > for servants <5650 <ebed >

and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.

12 Therefore the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with your fathers <1>

in the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth

<3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim >, out of the house <1004 bayith > of bondmen <5650

<ebed >, saying <0559 >amar >,

14 At the end <7093 qets > of seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141

shaneh > let ye go <7971 shalach > every man <0376 >iysh > his

brother <0251 >ach > an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy >, which <0834 >aher

he hath served <5647 <abad > thee six <8337 shesh > years <8141

shaneh >, thou shalt let him go <7971 shalach > free <2670

chophshiy > from thee: but your fathers <1> hearkened <8085

shama< > not unto me, neither <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah >

their ear <0241 >ozen >.

15 And ye were now <3117 yowm > turned <7725 shuwb >, and had

done <6213 <asah > right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869 <ayin

<0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >; and ye had made

<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > before <6440 paniym >

me in the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called

<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >:

16 But ye turned <7725 shuwb > and polluted <2490 chalal > my

name <8034 shem >, and caused every man <0376 >iysh > his

servant <5650 <ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his handmaid

at liberty <2670 chophshiy > at their pleasure <5315 nephesh >,

to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought <3533 kabash > them into

subjection <3533 kabash >, to be unto you for servants <5650

<ebed > and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.

17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< >

unto me, in proclaiming <7121 qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr >,

18 And I will give <5414 nathan > the men <0582 >enowsh > that

21 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

Jeremiah 35

1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah

in the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the

son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek >

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

2 Go <1980 halak > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the

Rechabites <7397 Rekah >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them, and

drink <8248 shaqah >.

3 Then I took <3947 laqach > Jaazaniah <2970 Ya>azanyah > the

6 But they said <0559 >amar >, We will drink <8354 shathah > no

8 Thus have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of

Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394

Rekab > our father <1> in all <3605 kol > that he hath charged

11 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <5019

12. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

14 The words <1697 dabar > of Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the

son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >, that he commanded <6680

tsavah > his sons <1121 ben > not to drink <8354 shathah > wine

Jeremiah 36

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243

r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym >

the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

4 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > called <7121 qara> > Baruch

<1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >:

and Baruch <1263 Baruwk > wrote <3789 kathab > from the mouth

5 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > commanded <6680 tsavah > Baruch

<1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, I [am] shut <6113 <atsar >

6 Therefore go <0935 bow> > thou, and read <7121 qara> > in the

roll <4039 m@gillah >, which <0834 >aher > thou hast written

7 It may be they will present <5307 naphal > their supplication

<8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

and will return <7725 shuwb > every <0376 >iysh > one from his

evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >: for great <1419 gadowl >

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath pronounced <1696 dabar > against <0413

8 And Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374

Neriyah > did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > that

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded

cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in

the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >.

9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549

chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym

that came <0935 bow> > from the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

10 Then read <7121 qara> > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > in the book

<5612 cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

11 When Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son <1121 ben > of

Gemariah <1587 G@maryah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227

shaphan >, had heard <8085 shama< > out of the book <5612 cepher

12 Then he went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into the

king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, into <5921 <al > the

scribe's <5608 caphar > chamber <3957 lishkah >: and, lo <2009

hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sat <3427

yashab > there <8033 sham >, [even] Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< >

the scribe <5608 caphar >, and Delaiah <1806 D@layah > the son

<1121 ben > of Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah >, and Elnathan <0494

>Elnathan > the son <1121 ben > of Achbor <5907 <Akbowr >, and

Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227

shaphan >, and Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, and all <3605 kol > the princes

<8269 sar >.

13 Then Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > declared <5046 nagad > unto

them all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that he had heard

<8085 shama< >, when Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read <7121 qara> >

the book <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people

<5971 <am >.

14 Therefore all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sent <7971

shalach > Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > the son <1121 ben > of

Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah

<8018 Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Cushi <3569 Kuwshiy >,

unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947

laqach > in thine hand <3027 yad > the roll <4039 m@gillah >

wherein <0834 >aher > thou hast read <7121 qara> > in the ears

<0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am >, and come <3212 yalak >.

So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374

Neriyah > took <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah > in his

hand <3027 yad >, and came <0935 bow> > unto them.

15 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Sit <3427 yashab >

down now <4994 na> >, and read <7121 qara> > it in our ears

<0241 >ozen >. So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read <7121 qara> > [it]

in their ears <0241 >ozen >.

16 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they had heard <8085

shama< > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar >, they were

afraid <6342 pachad > both <0413 >el > one <0376 >iysh > and

other <7453 rea< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto Baruch <1263

Baruwk >, We will surely tell <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek

17 And they asked <7592 sha>al > Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying

<0559 >amar >, Tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >, How <0349

>eyk > didst thou write <3789 kathab > all <3605 kol > these

<0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > at his mouth <6310 peh >?

18 Then Baruch <1263 Baruwk > answered <0559 >amar > them, He

pronounced <7126 qarab > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >

words <1697 dabar > unto me with his mouth <6310 peh >, and I

wrote <3789 kathab > [them] with ink <1773 d@yow > in the book

<5612 cepher >.

19 Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > unto Baruch

<1263 Baruwk >, Go <3212 yalak >, hide <5641 cathar > thee, thou

and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; and let no <0408 >al > man <0376

20. And they went <0935 bow> > in to the king <4428 melek >

into the court <2691 chatser >, but they laid <6485 paqad > up

the roll <4039 m@gillah > in the chamber <3957 lishkah > of

Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and told

<5046 nagad > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > in the

ears <0241 >ozen > of the king <4428 melek >.

21 So the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > Jehudi <3065

Y@huwdiy > to fetch <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah >:

and he took <3947 laqach > it out of Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama<

Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > read <7121 qara> > it in the ears <0241

>ozen > of the king <4428 melek >, and in the ears <0241 >ozen >

of all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > which stood <5975

<amad > beside <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek >.

22 Now the king <4428 melek > sat <3427 yashab > in the

winterhouse <2779 choreph > in the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > month

<2320 chodesh >: and [there was a fire] on the hearth <0254 >ach

23 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jehudi <3065

Y@huwdiy > had read <7121 qara> > three <7969 shalowsh > or four

<0702 >arba< > leaves <1817 deleth >, he cut <7167 qara< > it

with the penknife <8593 ta<ar >, and cast <7933 sheken > [it]

into <0413 >el > the fire <0784 >esh > that [was] on <0413 >el >

the hearth <0254 >ach >, until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the

roll <4039 m@gillah > was consumed <8552 tamam > in the fire

<0784 >esh > that [was] on <5921 <al > the hearth <0254 >ach >.

24 Yet they were not afraid <6342 pachad >, nor <3808 lo> >

rent <7167 qara< > their garments <0899 beged >, [neither] the

king <4428 melek >, nor any <3605 kol > of his servants <5650

<ebed > that heard <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > these <0428

>el-leh > words <1697 dabar >.

25 Nevertheless <1571 gam > Elnathan <0494 >Elnathan > and

Delaiah <1806 D@layah > and Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > had made

intercession <6293 paga< > to the king <4428 melek > that he

would not burn <8313 saraph > the roll <4039 m@gillah >: but he

would not hear <8085 shama< > them.

26 But the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >

Jerahmeel <3396 Y@rachm@>el > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech

<4429 Melek >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben >

of Azriel <5837 <Azriy>el >, and Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > the

son <1121 ben > of Abdeel <5655 <Abd@>el >, to take <3947 laqach

<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >: but the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > hid <5641 cathar > them.

27 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, after <0310 >achar >

that the king <4428 melek > had burned <8313 saraph > the roll

<4039 m@gillah >, and the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher

28 Take <3947 laqach > thee again <7725 shuwb > another <0312

all <3605 kol > the former <7223 ri>shown > words <1697 dabar >

that were in the first <7223 ri>shown > roll <4039 m@gillah >,

which <0834 >aher > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > hath burned <8313 saraph >.

29 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > to Jehoiakim <3079

Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, Thus

hast burned <8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > roll <4039

m@gillah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou

written <3789 kathab > therein <5921 <al >, saying <0559 >amar >,

The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall certainly

come <0935 bow> > and destroy <7843 shachath > this <2063 zo>th

from thence man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah >?

30 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king

<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; He shall have <1961

in the day <3117 yowm > to the heat <2721 choreb >, and in the

night <3915 layil > to the frost <7140 qerach >.

31 And I will punish <6485 paqad > him and his seed <2233 zera<

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,

and upon the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, all

<3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have pronounced <1691

Diblayim > against <0413 >el > them; but they hearkened <8085

shama< > not.

32 Then took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > another

<0312 >acher > roll <4039 m@gillah >, and gave <5414 nathan > it

to Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the scribe <5608 caphar >, the son

Jeremiah 37

1. And king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son

<1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > reigned <4427 malak >

instead <8478 tachath > of Coniah <3659 Konyahuw > the son <1121

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > made king <4428 melek > in the land <0776

2 But neither <3808 lo> > he, nor his servants <5650 <ebed >,

nor the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, did

hearken <8085 shama< > unto the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.

3 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent

<7971 shalach > Jehucal <3081 Y@huwkal > the son <1121 ben > of

Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the

saying <0559 >amar >, Pray <6419 palal > now <4994 na> > unto

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > for us.

4 Now Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > came <0935 bow> > in and went

<3318 yatsa> > out among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am >:

for they had not put <5414 nathan > him into prison.

5 Then Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil > was come

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

6 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall come <7725 shuwb >

again <7725 shuwb >, and fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al

9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;

Deceive <5377 nasha> > not yourselves <5315 nephesh >, saying

every man <0376 >iysh > in his tent <0168 >ohel >, and burn

<8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > with fire

<0784 >esh >.

11. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, that when the army <2428

chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > was broken <5927 <alah

of Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil >,

12 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to go <3212

yalak > into the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn

midst <8432 tavek > of the people <5971 <am >.

13 And when he was in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144

Binyamiyn >, a captain <1167 ba<al > of the ward <6488 p@qiduth

<3376 Yir>iyayh >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah <8018

Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >;

and he took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet

<5030 nabiy> >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou fallest <5307 naphal

14 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, [It is]

false <8267 sheqer >; I fall <5307 naphal > not away to the

Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >. But he hearkened <8085 shama< > not to

him: so Irijah <3376 Yir>iyayh > took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah >, and brought <0935 bow> > him to the princes

<8269 sar >.

15 Wherefore the princes <8269 sar > were wroth <7107 qatsaph >

with Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and smote <5221 nakah > him, and

put <5414 nathan > him in prison <0612 >ecuwr > in the house

<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608

caphar >: for they had made <6213 <asah > that the prison <3608

kele> >.

16 When <3588 kiy > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > was entered <0935

bow> > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr >, and into <0413

had remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > many <7227 rab >

days <3117 yowm >;

17 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent

<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > him out: and the king

<4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > him secretly <5643 cether >

in his house <1004 bayith >, and said <0559 >amar >, Is there

[any] word <1697 dabar > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? And

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, There is: for,

said <0559 >amar > he, thou shalt be delivered <5414 nathan >

into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon

<0894 Babel >.

18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, What <4100 mah >

have I offended <2398 chata> > against thee, or against thy

servants <5650 <ebed >, or against this <2088 zeh > people <5971

<am >, that ye have put <5414 nathan > me in prison?

19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] now your prophets <5030 nabiy> >

which <0834 >aher > prophesied <5012 naba> > unto you, saying

<0559 >amar >, The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >

shall not come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > you, nor against

<5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >?

20 Therefore hear <8085 shama< > now <6254 <Asht@rathiy >, I

pray <4994 na> > thee, O my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428

melek >: let my supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, I pray <4994 na>

that thou cause me not to return <7725 shuwb > to the house

<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608

caphar >, lest <3808 lo> > I die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham

21 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek >

commanded <6680 tsavah > that they should commit <6458 pacal >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > into the court <2691 chatser > of the

prison <4307 mattara> >, and that they should give <5414 nathan

lechem > out of the bakers <0644 >aphah >' street <2351 chuwts >,

until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the bread <3899 lechem > in

the city <5892 <iyr > were spent <8552 tamam >. Thus Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > remained <3427 yashab > in the court <2691

chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.

Jeremiah 38

1. Then Shephatiah <8203 Sh@phatyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Mattan <4977 Mattan >, and Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son

<1121 ben > of Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and Jucal <3116 Yuwkal

<6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Malchiah <4441 Malkiyah

<3414 Yirm@yah > had spoken <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol >

the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >,

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

He that remaineth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city

<5892 <iyr > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >,

by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber

Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall live <2421 chayah >; for he shall

have his life <5315 nephesh > for a prey <7998 shalal >, and

shall live <2425 chayay >.

3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

This <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall surely be given

<5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek

take <3920 lakad > it.

4 Therefore the princes <8269 sar > said <0559 >amar > unto the

king <4428 melek >, We beseech <4994 na> > thee, let this <2088

zeh > man <0376 >iysh > be put to death <4191 muwth >: for thus

he weakeneth <7503 raphah > the hands <3027 yad > of the men

<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > that remain <7604

sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, and the hands

<3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, in

speaking <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >

unto them: for this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > seeketh <1875

darash > not the welfare <7965 shalowm > of this <2088 zeh >

people <5971 <am >, but the hurt <7451 ra< >.

5 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said

<0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he [is] in your hand <3027

yad >: for the king <4428 melek > [is] not [he that] can <3201

yakol > do [any] thing <1697 dabar > against you.

6 Then took <3947 laqach > they Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and

cast <7933 sheken > him into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr

<4429 Melek >, that [was] in the court <2691 chatser > of the

prison <4307 mattara> >: and they let <7971 shalach > down <7971

shalach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > with cords <2256 chebel >.

And in the dungeon <0953 bowr > [there was] no <0369 >ayin >

water <4325 mayim >, but mire <2916 tiyt >: so Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > sunk <2883 taba< > in the mire <2916 tiyt >.

7 Now when Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569

Kuwshiy >, one <0376 >iysh > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > which

<1931 huw> > was in the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > in the dungeon <0953 bowr >; the king

<4428 melek > then sitting <3427 yashab > in the gate <8179

sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >;

8 Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > went <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > out of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004

bayith >, and spake <1696 dabar > to the king <4428 melek >,

saying <0559 >amar >,

9 My lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, these <0428

>el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh > have done evil <7489 ra<a< > in

all <3605 kol > that they have done <6213 <asah > to Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, whom they have cast

<7933 sheken > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr >; and he

is like to die <4191 muwth > for hunger <7457 ra<eb > in the

place <8478 tachath > where <8478 tachath > he is: for [there

is] no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > bread <3899 lechem > in

the city <5892 <iyr >.

10 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >

Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > from hence <2088 zeh >

thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > men <0582 >enowsh > with thee, and

take <3947 laqach > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet

<5030 nabiy> > out of the dungeon <0953 bowr >, before <2962

terem > he die <4191 muwth >.

11 So Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > took <3947 laqach > the

men <0582 >enowsh > with him, and went <0935 bow> > into the

house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > under the

treasury <0214 >owtsar >, and took <3947 laqach > thence <8033

sham > old <1094 b@low> > cast <5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499

c@chabah > and old <1094 b@low> > rotten <4418 malach > rags

<4418 malach >, and let <7971 shalach > them down <7971 shalach

bowr > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.

12 And Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569

Kuwshiy > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Put

<7760 suwm > now <4994 na> > [these] old <1094 b@low> > cast

<5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499 c@chabah > and rotten <4418 malach

<8478 tachath > the cords <2256 chebel >. And Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.

13 So they drew <4900 mashak > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >

with cords <2256 chebel >, and took <5927 <alah > him up out of

the dungeon <0953 bowr >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > remained

<3427 yashab > in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307

mattara> >.

14. Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent

<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah

<7992 sh@liyshiy > entry <3996 mabow> > that [is] in the house

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the king <4428

melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I

will ask <7592 sha>al > thee a thing <1697 dabar >; hide <3582

kachad > nothing from me.

15 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, If <0518 >im > I declare <5046 nagad

muwth >? and if <0518 >im > I give thee counsel <3289 ya<ats >,

wilt thou not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me?

16 So Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sware

<7650 shaba< > secretly <5643 cether > unto Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

liveth <2416 chay >, that made <6213 <asah > us this <2063 zo>th

hand <3027 yad > of these <0428 >el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh >

that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.

17 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba>

Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then thy soul <5315 nephesh > shall

live <2421 chayah >, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >

shall not be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 >esh >; and

thou shalt live <2421 chayah >, and thine house <1004 bayith >:

18 But if <0518 >im > thou wilt not go <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894

Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then shall this <2063 zo>th > city

<5892 <iyr > be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad >

of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and they shall burn <8313

saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >, and thou shalt not escape

<4422 malat > out of their hand <3027 yad >.

19 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said

<0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I am afraid <1672

da>ag > of the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that are fallen <5307

naphal > to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, lest <6435 pen > they

deliver <5414 nathan > me into their hand <3027 yad >, and they

mock <5953 <alal > me.

20 But Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, They shall

not deliver <5414 nathan > [thee]. Obey <8085 shama< >, I

beseech <4994 na> > thee, the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > I speak <1696 dabar > unto

thee: so it shall be well <3190 yatab > unto thee, and thy soul

<5315 nephesh > shall live <2421 chayah >.

21 But if thou refuse <3986 ma>en > to go <3318 yatsa> > forth

<3318 yatsa> >, this <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar >

that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath shewed <7200 ra>ah > me:

22 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the women <0802

melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > princes <8269 sar >, and

those <2007 hennah > [women] shall say <0559 >amar >, Thy

friends have set <5496 cuwth > thee on, and have prevailed <3201

taba< > in the mire <1206 bots >, [and] they are turned <5472

23 So they shall bring <4672 matsa> > out all <3605 kol > thy

wives <0802 >ishshah > and thy children <1121 ben > to the

Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: and thou shalt not escape <4422 malat

<0894 Babel >: and thou shalt cause this <2063 zo>th > city

<5892 <iyr > to be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 >esh >.

24 Then said <0559 >amar > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > unto

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Let no <0408 >al > man <0376 >iysh >

know <3045 yada< > of these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >,

and thou shalt not die <4191 muwth >.

25 But if <3588 kiy > the princes <8269 sar > hear <8085 shama<

<0935 bow> > unto thee, and say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Declare

<5046 nagad > unto us now <4994 na> > what <4100 mah > thou hast

said <1696 dabar > unto the king <4428 melek >, hide <3582

kachad > it not from us, and we will not put thee to death <4191

muwth >; also what <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > said <1696

26 Then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, I presented

<5307 naphal > my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440

paniym > the king <4428 melek >, that he would not cause me to

return <7725 shuwb > to Jonathan's <3129 Yownathan > house <1004

27 Then came <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar

28 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > abode <3427 yashab > in the

court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> > until <5704

5 But the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >' army <2428 chayil > pursued

<7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > them, and overtook <5381

nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the plains <6160 <arabah >

of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >: and when they had taken <3947

laqach > him, they brought <5927 <alah > him up to

Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776

>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >, where he gave <1696 dabar >

judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.

6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew

<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah

the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew <7819

shachat > all <3605 kol > the nobles <2715 chor > of Judah <3063

7 Moreover he put <5786 <avar > out Zedekiah's eyes <5869 <ayin

to carry <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 Babel >.

8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > burned <8313 saraph > the

king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and the houses <1004

bayith > of the people <5971 <am >, with fire <0784 >esh >, and

brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the walls <2346

chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

9 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab >

of the guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away captive

<1540 galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel > the remnant <3499

yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar >

in the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that fell <5307 naphal >

away, that fell <5307 naphal > to him, with the rest <3499

yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar >.

10 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain of the

guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > of the poor <1800 dal

the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and gave

<5414 nathan > them vineyards <3754 kerem > and fields <3010

yageb > at the same <1931 huw> > time <3117 yowm >.

11. Now Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428

melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > gave charge <6680 tsavah >

concerning <5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > to Nebuzaradan

<5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876

tabbach >, saying <0559 >amar >,

12 Take <3947 laqach > him, and look <7760 suwm > well to him,

and do <6213 <asah > him no <0408 >al > harm <7451 ra< >; but do

<6213 <asah > unto him even <3651 ken > as he shall say <1696

13 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab >

of the guard <2876 tabbach > sent <7971 shalach >, and

Nebushasban <5021 N@buwshazban >, Rabsaris <7249 Rab-Cariyc >,

and Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, Rabmag <7248 Rab-

<0894 Babel > princes <7227 rab >;

14 Even they sent <7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the court <2691 chatser > of

the prison <4307 mattara> >, and committed <5414 nathan > him

unto Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam

<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,

that he should carry <3318 yatsa> > him home <1004 bayith >: so

he dwelt <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am

15 Now the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, while he was shut

<6113 <atsar > up in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison

<4307 mattara> >, saying <0559 >amar >,

16 Go <1980 halak > and speak <0559 >amar > to Ebedmelech <5663

<Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >, saying <0559 >amar

my words <1697 dabar > upon this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >

for evil <7451 ra< >, and not for good <2896 towb >; and they

shall be [accomplished] in that day <3117 yowm > before <6440

paniym > thee.

17 But I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee in that day <3117

yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and thou

shalt not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of

the men <0582 >enowsh > of whom thou [art] afraid <3025 yagor >.

18 For I will surely deliver <4422 malat > thee, and thou shalt

not fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb >, but thy

life <5315 nephesh > shall be for a prey <7998 shalal > unto

thee: because <3588 kiy > thou hast put thy trust <0982 batach >

in me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

Jeremiah 40

1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, after <0310

>achar > that Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227

rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > had let him go <7971 shalach

being bound <0631 >acar > in chains <0246 >aziqqiym > among

away captive <1546 galuwth > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >

and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which were carried <1540 galah >

away captive <1540 galah > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >.

2 And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > took

<3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and said <0559 >amar >

unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > hath

pronounced <1691 Diblayim > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< >

upon this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.

3 Now the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath brought <0935 bow> > [it],

and done <6213 <asah > according as he hath said <1696 dabar >:

because <3588 kiy > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > his

voice <6963 qowl >, therefore this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar

4 And now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, I loose <6605

pathach > thee this day <3117 yowm > from the chains <0246

thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >,

come <0935 bow> >; and I will look <7760 suwm > well unto thee:

but if <0518 >im > it seem <5869 <ayin > ill <7489 ra<a< > unto

thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >,

forbear <2308 chadal >: behold <7200 ra>ah >, all <3605 kol >

the land <0776 >erets > [is] before <6440 paniym > thee: whither

<0413 >el > it seemeth <5869 <ayin > good <2896 towb > and

convenient <3477 yashar > for thee to go <3212 yalak >, thither

<8033 sham > go <3212 yalak >.

5 Now while he was not yet <5750 <owd > gone <7725 shuwb > back

<7725 shuwb >, [he said], Go <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >

also to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam

<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,

whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894

Babel > hath made governor <6485 paqad > over the cities <5892

go <3212 yalak > wheresoever it seemeth <5869 <ayin > convenient

<3477 yashar > unto thee to go <3212 yalak >. So the captain

<7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > gave <5414 nathan > him

victuals <0737 >aruchah > and a reward <4864 mas>eth >, and let

him go <7971 shalach >.

6 Then went <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto

Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296

with him among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am > that were

left <7604 sha>ar > in the land <0776 >erets >.

7. Now when all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of the

forces <2428 chayil > which <0834 >aher > [were] in the fields

<7704 sadeh >, [even] they and their men <0582 >enowsh >, heard

<8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894

8 Then they came <0935 bow> > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > to

Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >, even Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son

<1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and Johanan <3110

Yowchanan > and Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the sons <1121 ben >

of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son

of a Maachathite <4602 Ma<akathiy >, they and their men <0582

9 And Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam

<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >

sware <7650 shaba< > unto them and to their men <0582 >enowsh >,

saying <0559 >amar >, Fear <3372 yare> > not to serve <5647

yatab > with you.

10 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I will dwell <3427 yashab >

at Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh > to serve <5975 <amad > the Chaldeans

<3778 Kasdiy >, which <0834 >aher > will come <0935 bow> > unto

summer <7019 qayits > fruits, and oil <8081 shemen >, and put

<3427 yashab > in your cities <5892 <iyr > that ye have taken

11 Likewise <1571 gam > when all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064

Y@huwdiy > that [were] in Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and among the

Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, and in Edom <0123 >Edom >, and that

12 Even all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > returned

whither they were driven <5080 nadach >, and came <0935 bow> >

to the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, to

Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >, unto Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >, and

gathered <0622 >acaph > wine <3196 yayin > and summer <7019

13 Moreover Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of

Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269

Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >,

14 And said <0559 >amar > unto him, Dost thou certainly know

the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > believed <0539

15 Then Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah

in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > secretly <5643 cether >, saying <0559

16 But Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam

Jeremiah 41

1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seventh <7637

sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, [that] Ishmael <3458

Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >

<asah > eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > together <3162

yachad > in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.

2 Then arose <6965 quwm > Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son

3 Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > also slew <5221 nakah > all <3605

<8033 sham >, [and] the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421

4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the second <8145 sheniy >

day <3117 yowm > after he had slain <4191 muwth > Gedaliah <1436

G@dalyah >, and no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > knew <3045

5 That there came <0935 bow> > certain <0582 >enowsh > from

Shechem <7927 Sh@kem >, from Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and from

to bring <0935 bow> > [them] to the house <1004 bayith > of the

6 And Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of

Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

7 And it was [so], when they came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el >

9 Now the pit <0953 bowr > wherein <0834 >aher > Ishmael <3458

son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > filled <4390

10 Then Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > carried <7617 shabah > away

5 Then they said <0559 >amar > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >,

The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be a true <0571 >emeth > and faithful

done <6213 <asah > unto you.

11 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the king <4428 melek > of

neither <1115 biltiy > obey <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl

16 Then it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] the sword

<2719 chereb >, which <0834 >aher > ye feared <3373 yare> >,

there <8033 sham > ye shall die <4191 muwth >.

17 So shall it be with all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh >

remain <8300 sariyd > or escape <6412 paliyt > from the evil

18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

19 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <1696 dabar > concerning

know <3045 yada< > certainly that I have admonished <5749 <uwd >

20 For ye dissembled <8582 ta<ah > in your hearts <5315 nephesh

22 Now <6258 <attah > therefore know <3045 yada< > certainly

in the place <4725 maqowm > whither ye desire <2654 chaphets >

Jeremiah 43

1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking <1696

4 So Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah

<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of

the forces <2428 chayil >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971

5 But Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah

<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of

the forces <2428 chayil >, took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol >

of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel

<3478 Yisra>el >; Ye have seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > the

this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they [are] a desolation <2723

therein,

3 Because <6440 paniym > of their wickedness <7451 ra< > which

<0834 >aher > they have committed <6213 <asah > to provoke me to

anger <3707 ka<ac >, in that they went <3212 yalak > to burn

they knew <3045 yada< > not, [neither] they, ye, nor your

4 Howbeit I sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605 kol > my

servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, rising <7925

<2088 zeh > abominable <8441 tow<ebah > thing <1697 dabar > that

I hate <8130 sane> >.

5 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> >

inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > to turn <7725

6 Wherefore my fury <2534 chemah > and mine anger <0639 >aph >

was poured <5413 nathak > forth, and was kindled <1197 ba<ar >

in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and in the

8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath <3707 ka<ac > with the works

<4639 ma<aseh > of your hands <3027 yad >, burning <6999 qatar >

incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430

curse <7045 q@lalah > and a reproach <2781 cherpah > among all

9 Have ye forgotten <7911 shakach > the wickedness <7451 ra< >

wickedness <7451 ra< >, and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of your

10 They are not humbled <1792 daka> > [even] unto this <2088

11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430

12 And I will take <3947 laqach > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth

<8552 tamam >, [and] fall <5307 naphal > in the land <0776

consumed <8552 tamam > by the sword <2719 chereb > [and] by the

famine <7458 ra<ab >: they shall die <4191 muwth >, from the

least <6996 qatan > even unto the greatest <1419 gadowl >, by

the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >: and

they shall be an execration <0423 >alah >, [and] an astonishment

<8047 shammah >, and a curse <7045 q@lalah >, and a reproach

<2781 cherpah >.

13 For I will punish <6485 paqad > them that dwell <3427 yashab

have punished <6485 paqad > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, by

the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by

the pestilence <1698 deber >:

14 So that none <3808 lo> > of the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which are gone <0935 bow> > into the

land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481

<0834 >aher > they have <5375 nasa> > a desire to return <7725

<3808 lo> > shall return <7725 shuwb > but such as shall escape

<6412 paliyt >.

15. Then all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > which knew

<3045 yada< > that their wives <0802 >ishshah > had burned <6999

that stood <5975 <amad > by, a great <1419 gadowl > multitude

<6951 qahal >, even all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that

dwelt <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714

Mitsrayim >, in Pathros <6624 Pathrowc >, answered <6030 <anah >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,

16 [As for] the word <1697 dabar > that thou hast spoken <1696

dabar > unto us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, we will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto thee.

17 But we will certainly do <6213 <asah > whatsoever thing

<1697 dabar > goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of

our own mouth <6310 peh >, to burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999

our kings <4428 melek >, and our princes <8269 sar >, in the

cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the

streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: for

[then] had <1961 hayah > we plenty <7646 saba< > of victuals

<3899 lechem >, and were well <2896 towb >, and saw <7200 ra>ah

18 But since we left <2308 chadal > off to burn <6999 qatar >

incense <6999 qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven

<8064 shamayim >, and to pour <5258 nacak > out drink <5262

necek > offerings unto her, we have wanted <2637 chacer > all

<3605 kol > [things], and have been consumed <8552 tamam > by

the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >.

19 And when <3588 kiy > we burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999

qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven <8064 shamayim >,

and poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto

her, did we make <6213 <asah > her cakes <3561 kavvan > to

worship <6087 <atsab > her, and pour <5258 nacak > out drink

<5262 necek > offerings unto her, without <1107 bil<adey > our

men <0582 >enowsh >?

20. Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto all

<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, to the men <1397 geber >,

and to the women <0802 >ishshah >, and to all <3605 kol > the

people <5971 <am > which had given him [that] answer <6030 <anah

21 The incense <7002 qitter > that ye burned <6999 qatar > in

the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the

streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, ye,

and your fathers <1>, your kings <4428 melek >, and your princes

<8269 sar >, and the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets

and came <5927 <alah > it [not] into <5921 <al > his mind <3820

22 So that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > could <3201 yakol > no

<6440 paniym > of the evil <7455 roa< > of your doings <4611

ma<alal >, [and] because <6440 paniym > of the abominations

<8441 tow<ebah > which <0834 >aher > ye have committed <6213

<asah >; therefore is your land <0776 >erets > a desolation

<2723 chorbah >, and an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and a

curse <7045 q@lalah >, without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427

yashab >, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.

23 Because ye have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >,

and because <0834 >aher > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > the

voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, nor <3808 lo> >

walked <1980 halak > in his law <8451 towrah >, nor in his

therefore this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > is happened <7122

24 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, and to all <3605 kol >

the women <0802 >ishshah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

25 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

saying <0559 >amar >, We will surely perform <6213 <asah > our

accomplish <6965 quwm > your vows <5088 neder >, and surely

perform <6213 <asah > your vows <5088 neder >.

26 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697

27 Behold <2005 hen >, I will watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921

28 Yet a small <4962 math > number <4557 micpar > that escape

13 The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

15 Why <4069 madduwa< > are thy valiant <47> [men] swept <5502

16 He made many <7235 rabah > to fall <3782 kashal >, yea, one

17 They did cry <7121 qara> > there <8033 sham >, Pharaoh <6547

Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [is but]

19 O thou daughter <1323 bath > dwelling <3427 yashab > in

their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.

22 The voice <6963 qowl > thereof shall go <3212 yalak > like a

serpent <5175 nachash >; for they shall march <3212 yalak > with

an army <2428 chayil >, and come <0935 bow> > against her with

24 The daughter <1323 bath > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > shall

26 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027

27 But fear <3372 yare> > not thou, O my servant <5650 <ebed >

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and be not dismayed <2865 chathath >, O

Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: for, behold <2005 hen >, I will save

28 Fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > my

leave thee wholly <5352 naqah > unpunished <5352 naqah >.

Jeremiah 47

Behold <2009 hinneh >, waters <4325 mayim > rise <5927 <alah >

3 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the stamping <8161 sha<atah > of

rushing <7494 ra<ash > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, [and at]

the rumbling <1995 hamown > of his wheels <1534 galgal >, the

fathers <1> shall not look <6437 panah > back <6437 panah > to

5 Baldness <7144 qorchah > is come <0935 bow> > upon Gaza <5804

7 How <0349 >eyk > can it be quiet <8252 shaqat >, seeing the

great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >.

4 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is destroyed <7665 shabar >; her little

<6810 tsa<iyr > ones have caused a cry <2201 za<aq > to be heard

5 For in the going <4608 ma<aleh > up of Luhith <3872 Luwchiyth

Moab <4124 Mow>ab > also shall wallow <5606 caphaq > in his

Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, (he is exceeding <3966 m@<od > proud <1343

ge>eh >) his loftiness <1363 gobahh >, and his arrogancy <1347

ga>own >, and his pride <1347 ga>own >, and the haughtiness

<7312 ruwm > of his heart <3820 leb >.

30 I know <3045 yada< > his wrath <5678 <ebrah >, saith <5002

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; but [it shall] not [be] so

<3651 ken >; his lies <0907 bad > shall not so <3651 ken >

effect <6213 <asah > [it].

31 Therefore will I howl <3213 yalal > for Moab <4124 Mow>ab >,

and I will cry <2199 za<aq > out for all <3605 kol > Moab <4124

Mow>ab >; [mine heart] shall mourn <1897 hagah > for the men

<0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres <7025 Qiyr Cheres >.

32 O vine <1612 gephen > of Sibmah <7643 S@bam >, I will weep

<1058 bakah > for thee with the weeping <1065 B@kiy > of Jazer

<3270 Ya<azeyr >: thy plants <5189 n@tiyshah > are gone <5674

<abar > over <5674 <abar > the sea <3220 yam >, they reach <5060

naga< > [even] to the sea <3220 yam > of Jazer <3270 Ya<azeyr >:

the spoiler <7703 shadad > is fallen <5307 naphal > upon thy

summer <7019 qayits > fruits and upon thy vintage <1210 batsiyr

33 And joy <8057 simchah > and gladness <8057 simchah > is

taken <0622 >acaph > from the plentiful <3759 karmel > field,

and from the land <0776 >erets > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >; and I

have caused wine <3196 yayin > to fail <7673 shabath > from the

winepresses <3342 yeqeb >: none <3808 lo> > shall tread <1869

darak > with shouting <1959 heydad >; [their] shouting <1959

heydad > [shall be] no <3808 lo> > shouting <1959 heydad >.

34 From the cry <2201 za<aq > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >

[even] unto Elealeh <0500 >El<ale> >, [and even] unto Jahaz

<3096 Yahats >, have they uttered <5414 nathan > their voice

<6963 qowl >, from Zoar <6820 Tso<ar > [even] unto Horonaim

<2773 Choronayim >, [as] an heifer <5697 <eglah > of three <7992

sh@liyshiy > years old <7992 sh@liyshiy >: for the waters <4325

mayim > also <1571 gam > of Nimrim <5249 Nimriym > shall be

desolate <4923 m@shammah >.

35 Moreover I will cause to cease <7673 shabath > in Moab <4124

Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, him that

offereth <5927 <alah > in the high <1116 bamah > places, and him

that burneth <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to his gods

<0430 >elohiym >.

36 Therefore mine heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah >

for Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and mine

heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah > like pipes <2485

chaliyl > for the men <0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres <7025 Qiyr

Cheres >: because the riches <3502 yithrah > [that] he hath

gotten <6213 <asah > are perished <6>.

37 For every <3605 kol > head <7218 ro>sh > [shall be] bald

<7144 qorchah >, and every <3605 kol > beard <2206 zaqan >

clipped <1639 gara< >: upon all <3605 kol > the hands <3027 yad

38 [There shall be] lamentation <4553 micepd > generally <3605

kol > upon all <3605 kol > the housetops <1406 gag > of Moab

<4124 Mow>ab >, and in the streets <7339 r@chob > thereof: for I

have broken <7665 shabar > Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like a vessel

<3627 k@liy > wherein [is] no <0369 >ayin > pleasure <2656

chephets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

39 They shall howl <3213 yalal >, [saying], How <0349 >eyk > is

it broken <2865 chathath > down! how <0349 >eyk > hath Moab

<4124 Mow>ab > turned <6437 panah > the back <6203 <oreph > with

shame <0954 buwsh >! so shall Moab <4124 Mow>ab > be a derision

<7814 s@chowq > and a dismaying <4288 m@chittah > to all <3605

40 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall fly <1675 da>ah > as

an eagle <5404 nesher >, and shall spread <6566 paras > his

wings <3671 kanaph > over <0413 >el > Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.

41 Kerioth <7152> is taken <3920 lakad >, and the strong <4679

m@tsad > holds <4679 m@tsad > are surprised <8610 taphas >, and

the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men's hearts <3820 leb > in Moab

<4124 Mow>ab > at that day <3117 yowm > shall be as the heart

<3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her pangs <6887

tsarar >.

42 And Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be destroyed <8045 shamad >

from [being] a people <5971 <am >, because he hath magnified

<1431 gadal > [himself] against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

43 Fear <6343 pachad >, and the pit <6354 pachath >, and the

snare <6341 pach >, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant <3427

yashab > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >.

44 He that fleeth <5211 niyc > from the fear <6343 pachad >

shall fall <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the pit <6354 pachath

for I will bring <0935 bow> > upon it, [even] upon Moab <4124

Mow>ab >, the year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486

p@quddah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

45 They that fled <5127 nuwc > stood <5975 <amad > under the

shadow <6738 tsel > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > because of the

force <3581 koach >: but a fire <0784 >esh > shall come <3318

and a flame <3852 lehabah > from the midst of Sihon <5511

Ciychown >, and shall devour <0398 >akal > the corner <6285

pe>ah > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and the crown <6936 qodqod > of

the head <6936 qodqod > of the tumultuous ones <1121 ben >.

46 Woe <0188 >owy > be unto thee, O Moab <4124 Mow>ab >! the

people <5971 <am > of Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > perisheth <6>: for

thy sons <1121 ben > are taken <3947 laqach > captives <7628

sh@biy >, and thy daughters <1121 ben > captives <7633 shibyah >.

47 Yet will I bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the

captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > in the latter

<0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Thus <2008 hennah > far <2008 hennah >

[is] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.

Jeremiah 49

1. Concerning the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, thus <3541 koh >

saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Hath Israel <3478

Yisra>el > no <0369 >ayin > sons <1121 ben >? hath he no <0369

their king <4428 melek > inherit <3423 yarash > Gad <1410 Gad >,

and his people <5971 <am > dwell <3427 yashab > in his cities

<5892 <iyr >?

2 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, that I will cause an alarm <8643 t@ruw<ah > of war

<4421 milchamah > to be heard <8085 shama< > in Rabbah <7237

Rabbah > of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >; and it shall be a

desolate <8077 sh@mamah > heap <8510 tel >, and her daughters

unto them that were his heirs <3423 yarash >, saith <5002 n@>um

3 Howl <3213 yalal >, O Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, for Ai <5857

yalak > into captivity <1473 gowlah >, [and] his priests <3548

kohen > and his princes <8269 sar > together <3162 yachad >.

4 Wherefore <4100 mah > gloriest <1984 halal > thou in the

valleys <6010 <emeq >, thy flowing <2100 zuwb > valley <6010

<emeq >, O backsliding <7728 showbeb > daughter <1323 bath >?

that trusted <0982 batach > in her treasures <0214 >owtsar >,

[saying], Who <4310 miy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto me?

5 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a fear <6343

pachad > upon thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >

GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, from all <3605 kol

driven <5080 nadach > out every man <0376 >iysh > right <6440

gather <6908 qabats > up him that wandereth <5074 nadad >.

6 And afterward I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >

the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of the children <1121 ben > of

Ammon <5983 <Ammown >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >.

7. Concerning Edom <0123 >Edom >, thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

wisdom <2451 chokmah > no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > in

Teman <8487 Teyman >? is counsel <6098 <etsah > perished <6>

from the prudent <0995 biyn >? is their wisdom <2451 chokmah >

vanished <5628 carach >?

8 Flee <5127 nuwc > ye, turn <6437 panah > back <6437 panah >,

dwell <3427 yashab > deep <6009 <amaq >, O inhabitants <3427

yashab > of Dedan <1719 D@dan >; for I will bring <0935 bow> >

the calamity <0343 >eyd > of Esau <6215 <Esav > upon him, the

time <6256 <eth > [that] I will visit <6485 paqad > him.

9 If <0518 >im > grapegatherers <1219 batsar > come <0935 bow>

<5955 <olelah > grapes? if <0518 >im > thieves <1590 gannab > by

night <3915 layil >, they will destroy <7843 shachath > till

<5704 <ad > they have enough <1767 day >.

10 But I have made Esau <6215 <Esav > bare <2834 chasaph >, I

have uncovered <1540 galah > his secret <4565 mictar > places,

and he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to hide <2247 chabah >

himself: his seed <2233 zera< > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and

his brethren <0251 >ach >, and his neighbours <7934 shaken >,

and he [is] not.

11 Leave <5800 <azab > thy fatherless <3490 yathowm > children

<1121 ben >, I will preserve <2421 chayah > [them] alive <2421

chayah >; and let thy widows <0490 >almanah > trust <0982 batach

12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, they whose <0834 >aher >

judgment <4941 mishpat > [was] not to drink <8354 shathah > of

the cup <3563 kowc > have assuredly <8354 shathah > drunken

<7937 shakar >; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go

unpunished <5352 naqah >? thou shalt not go <3212 yalak >

unpunished <5352 naqah >, but thou shalt surely <3588 kiy >

drink <8354 shathah > [of it].

13 For I have sworn <7650 shaba< > by myself, saith <5002 n@>um

become <1961 hayah > a desolation <8047 shammah >, a reproach

<2781 cherpah >, a waste <2721 choreb >, and a curse <7045

q@lalah >; and all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof

shall be perpetual <5769 <owlam > wastes <2723 chorbah >.

14 I have heard <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > from

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an ambassador <6735 tsiyr > is

sent <7971 shalach > unto the heathen <1471 gowy >, [saying],

Gather <6908 qabats > ye together, and come <0935 bow> > against

<5921 <al > her, and rise <6965 quwm > up to the battle <4421

milchamah >.

15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee

small <6996 qatan > among the heathen <1471 gowy >, [and]

despised <0959 bazah > among men <0120 >adam >.

16 Thy terribleness <8606 tiphletseth > hath deceived <5377

nasha> > thee, [and] the pride <2087 zadown > of thine heart

<3820 leb >, O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > in the clefts

<2288 chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< >, that holdest <8610

taphas > the height <4791 marowm > of the hill <1389 gib<ah >:

though <3588 kiy > thou shouldest make thy nest <7064 qen > as

high <1361 gabahh > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, I will bring

<3381 yarad > thee down <3381 yarad > from thence <8033 sham >,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

17 Also Edom <0123 >Edom > shall be a desolation <8047 shammah

astonished <8074 shamem >, and shall hiss <8319 sharaq > at

<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah > thereof.

18 As in the overthrow <4114 mahpekah > of Sodom <5467 C@dom >

and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > and the neighbour <7934 shaken >

[cities] thereof, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > shall abide <3427 yashab >

there <8033 sham >, neither <3808 lo> > shall a son <1121 ben >

of man <0120 >adam > dwell <1481 guwr > in it.

19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a

lion <0738 >ariy > from the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan

<3383 Yarden > against <0413 >el > the habitation <5116 naveh >

of the strong <0386 >eythan >: but I will suddenly <7280 raga< >

make him run <7323 ruwts > away from her: and who <4310 miy >

[is] a chosen <0970 bachuwr > [man, that] I may appoint <6485

me the time? and who <4310 miy > [is] that shepherd <7462 ra<ah

20 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > the counsel <6098

<etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken <3289

ya<ats > against <0413 >el > Edom <0123 >Edom >; and his

purposes <4284 machashabah >, that he hath purposed <2803

chashab > against <0413 >el > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of

Teman <8487 Teyman >: Surely the least <6810 tsa<iyr > of the

flock <6629 tso>n > shall draw <5498 cachab > them out: surely

he shall make their habitations <5116 naveh > desolate <8074

shamem > with them.

21 The earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493 ra<ash > at the

noise <6963 qowl > of their fall <5307 naphal >, at the cry

<6818 tsa<aqah > the noise <6963 qowl > thereof was heard <8085

shama< > in the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >.

22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up and

fly <1675 da>ah > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, and spread <6566

paras > his wings <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al > Bozrah <1224

Botsrah >: and at that day <3117 yowm > shall the heart <3820

as the heart <3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her

pangs <6887 tsarar >.

23. Concerning Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >. Hamath <2574 Chamath

they have heard <8085 shama< > evil <7451 ra< > tidings <8052

sh@muw<ah >: they are fainthearted <4127 muwg >; [there is]

sorrow <1974 hilluwl > on the sea <3220 yam >; it cannot be

quiet <8252 shaqat >.

24 Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > is waxed feeble <7503 raphah >,

[and] turneth <6437 panah > herself to flee <5127 nuwc >, and

fear <7374 retet > hath seized <2388 chazaq > on [her]: anguish

26 Therefore <3651 ken > her young <0970 bachuwr > men shall

fall <5307 naphal > in her streets <7339 r@chob >, and all <3605

27 And I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in the

30 Flee <5127 nuwc >, get <5110 nuwd > you far <3966 m@<od >

36 And upon Elam <5867 <Eylam > will I bring <0935 bow> > the

Jeremiah 50

1. The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

3 For out of the north <6828 tsaphown > there cometh <5927

6 My people <5971 <am > hath been <1961 hayah > lost <6> sheep

45 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the counsel

46 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the taking <8610 taphas > of

Jeremiah 51

1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

rise <6965 quwm > up against me, a destroying <7843 shachath >

fanners <2114 zuwr >, that shall fan <2219 zarah > her, and

4 Thus the slain <2491 chalal > shall fall <5307 naphal > in

13 O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > upon many <7227 rab >

14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn

<7650 shaba< > by himself <5315 nephesh >, [saying], Surely I

caterpillers <3218 yekeq >; and they shall lift <6030 <anah > up

a shout <1959 heydad > against <5921 <al > thee.

15 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his

16 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > [his] voice <6963 qowl >,

[there is] a multitude <0527 >amown > of waters <4325 mayim > in

17 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar >

19 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not

<0776 >erets > the wounded <2491 chalal > shall groan <0602

53 Though <3588 kiy > Babylon <0894 Babel > should mount <5927

<alah > up to heaven <8064 shamayim >, and though <3588 kiy >

she should fortify <1219 batsar > the height <4791 marowm > of

her strength <5797 <oz >, [yet] from me shall spoilers <7703

shadad > come <0935 bow> > unto her, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

54 A sound <6963 qowl > of a cry <2201 za<aq > [cometh <0935

bow> >] from Babylon <0894 Babel >, and great <1419 gadowl >

destruction <7667 sheber > from the land <0776 >erets > of the

Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >:

55 Because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoiled

<7703 shadad > Babylon <0894 Babel >, and destroyed <6> out of

her the great <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl >; when her waves

<1530 gal > do roar <1993 hamah > like great <7227 rab > waters

<4325 mayim >, a noise <7588 sha>own > of their voice <6963 qowl

56 Because <3588 kiy > the spoiler <7703 shadad > is come <0935

mighty <1368 gibbowr > men are taken <3920 lakad >, every one of

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0410 >el > of recompences <1578

g@muwlah > shall surely requite <7999 shalam >.

57 And I will make drunk <7937 shakar > her princes <8269 sar >,

58 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

59. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded <6680 tsavah >

Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374

Neriyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4271 Machceyah >,

when he went <3212 yalak > with Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into Babylon <0894

Babel > in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of

his reign <4427 malak >. And [this] Seraiah <8304 S@rayah >

[was] a quiet <4496 m@nuwchah > prince <8269 sar >.

60 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > wrote <3789 kathab > in a book

<5612 cepher > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that should

come <0935 bow> > upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, [even <0853 >eth

that are written <3789 kathab > against <0413 >el > Babylon

<0894 Babel >.

61 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > to Seraiah

<8304 S@rayah >, When thou comest <0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894

Babel >, and shalt see <7200 ra>ah >, and shalt read <7121 qara>

> all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >;

62 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > this <2088

zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, to cut <3772 karath > it off, that

none <1115 biltiy > shall remain <3427 yashab > in it, neither

<1115 biltiy > man <0120 >adam > nor beast <0929 b@hemah >, but

that it shall be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > for ever <5769 <owlam

63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <3615 kalah > of

reading <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh > book <5612 cepher >,

[that] thou shalt bind <7164 qarac > a stone <68> to it, and

cast <7993 shalak > it into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek >

of Euphrates <6578 P@rath >:

64 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3602 kakah > shall

Babylon <0894 Babel > sink <8257 shaqa< >, and shall not rise

<6965 quwm > from the evil <7451 ra< > that I will bring <0935

bow> > upon her: and they shall be weary <3286 ya<aph >. Thus

<2008 hennah > far <2008 hennah > [are] the words <1697 dabar >

of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.

Jeremiah 52

1. Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > [was] one <0259 >echad > and

twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when

he began to reign <4427 malak >, and he reigned <4427 malak >

eleven years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.

And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Hamutal

<2537 Chamuwtal > the daughter <1323 bath > of Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > of Libnah <3841 Libnah >.

2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in

the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, according to

all <3605 kol > that Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > had done

<6213 <asah >.

3 For through <5921 <al > the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > it came <1961 hayah > to pass in Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, till <5704 <ad > he

had cast <7993 shalak > them out from his presence <6440 paniym

>, that Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > rebelled <4775 marad >

against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.

4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the ninth <8671

t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >, in

the tenth <6224 <asiyriy > month <2320 chodesh >, in the tenth

<6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, [that]

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> >, he and all <3605 kol >

his army <2428 chayil >, against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim >, and pitched <2583 chanah > against <5921 <al >

it, and built <1129 banah > forts <1785 dayeq > against <5921

<al > it round <5439 cabiyb > about.

5 So the city <5892 <iyr > was besieged unto the eleventh year

<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >.

6 And in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, in

the ninth <8672 tesha< > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, the

famine <7458 ra<ab > was sore <2388 chazaq > in the city <5892

<iyr >, so that there was no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem >

for the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >.

7 Then the city <5892 <iyr > was broken <1234 baqa< > up, and

all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah >

fled <1272 barach >, and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

> out of the city <5892 <iyr > by night <3915 layil > by the way

<1870 derek > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > between <0996 beyn >

the two <8147 sh@nayim > walls <2346 chowmah >, which <0834

>aher > [was] by the king's <4428 melek > garden <1588 gan >;

(now the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > [were] by the city <5892 <iyr

> round <5439 cabiyb > about:) and they went <3212 yalak > by

the way <1870 derek > of the plain <6160 <arabah >.

8 But the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >

pursued <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > the king <4428 melek

>, and overtook <5381 nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the

plains <6160 <arabah > of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >; and all

<3605 kol > his army <2428 chayil > was scattered <6327 puwts >

from him.

9 Then they took <8610 taphas > the king <4428 melek >, and

carried <5927 <alah > him up unto the king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776

>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >; where he gave <1696 dabar >

judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.

10 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew

<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah

> before his eyes <5869 <ayin >: he slew <7819 shachat > also

<1571 gam > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > in Riblah <7247 Riblah >.

11 Then he put <5786 <avar > out the eyes <5869 <ayin > of

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >; and the king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > bound <0631 >acar > him in chains <5178

n@chosheth >, and carried <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894

Babel >, and put <5411 Nathiyn > him in prison till <5704 <ad >

the day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >.

12. Now in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh >,

in the tenth <6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >,

which <1958 hiy > [was] the nineteenth year <8141 shaneh > of

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel >, came <0935 bow> > Nebuzaradan <5018

N@buwzaradan >, captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach >,

[which] served <5975 <amad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon

<0894 Babel >, into Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,

13 And burned <8313 saraph > the house <1004 bayith > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > house <1004

bayith >; and all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and all <3605 kol > the houses

<1004 bayith > of the great <1419 gadowl > [men], burned <8313

saraph > he with fire <0784 >esh >:

14 And all <3605 kol > the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans

<3779 Kasday >, that [were] with the captain <7227 rab > of the

guard <2876 tabbach >, brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats

Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > about.

15 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab

captive <1540 galah > [certain] of the poor <1803 dallah > of

people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar > in the city

<5307 naphal > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel

16 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab >

of the guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > [certain] of

the poor <1803 dallah > of the land <0776 >erets > for

vinedressers <3755 korem > and for husbandmen <3009 yagab >.

17 Also the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >

that [were] in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >, and the bases <4350 m@kownah >, and the brasen <5178

18 The caldrons <5518 ciyr > also, and the shovels <3257 ya< >,

and the snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, and the bowls <4219 mizraq

19 And the basons <5592 caph >, and the firepans <4289 machtah

and the candlesticks <4501 m@nowrah >, and the spoons <3709 kaph

the guard <2876 tabbach > away.

20 The two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, one <0259

was without <3808 lo> > weight <4948 mishqal >.

21 And [concerning] the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, the height

<6967 qowmah > of one <0259 >echad > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >

[was] eighteen cubits <0520 >ammah >; and a fillet <2339 chuwt >

and the thickness <5672 <abiy > thereof [was] four <0702 >arba<

22 And a chapiter <3805 kothereth > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >

The second <8145 sheniy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > also and the

pomegranates <7416 rimmown > [were] like unto these <0428 >el-

23 And there were ninety <8673 tish<iym > and six <8337 shesh >

<3605 kol > the pomegranates <7416 rimmown > upon the network

<7639 s@bakah > [were] an hundred <3967 me>ah > round <5439

24. And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach >

took <3947 laqach > Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the chief <7218

ro>sh > priest <3548 kohen >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah >

the second <4932 mishneh > priest <3548 kohen >, and the three

25 He took <3947 laqach > also out of the city <5892 <iyr > an

<4672 matsa> > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr

26 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab >

brought <3212 yalak > them to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon

27 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > smote

<5221 nakah > them, and put them to death <4191 muwth > in

Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0127 >adamah > of Hamath

<2574 Chamath >. Thus Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was carried <1540

galah > away captive <1540 galah > out of his own land <0127

28 This <2088 zeh > [is] the people <5971 <am > whom <0834

30 In the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 <esriym >

year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >

Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > of the

31. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seven <7651 sheba<

captivity <1546 galuwth > of Jehoiachin <3078 Y@howyakiyn > king

32 And spake <1696 dabar > kindly <2896 towb > unto him, and
