Jeremiah 1 1. The words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>, of the priests <3548> that [were] in Anathoth <6068> in the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>: 2 To whom <0834> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> in the days <3117> of Josiah <2977> the son <1121> of Amon <0526> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the thirteenth year <8141> of his reign <4427>. 3 It came <1961> also in the days <3117> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, unto the end <8537> of the eleventh year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, unto the carrying <1540> away of Jerusalem <3389> captive <1540> in the fifth <2549> month <2320>. 4. Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>, 5 Before <2962> I formed <3335> thee in the belly <0990> I knew <3045> thee; and before <2962> thou camest <3318> forth <3318> out of the womb <7358> I sanctified <6942> thee, [and] I ordained <5414> thee a prophet <5030> unto the nations <1471>. 6 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! behold <2009>, I cannot <3808> speak <1696>: for I [am] a child <5288>. 7 But the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Say <0559> not, I [am] a child <5288>: for thou shalt go <3212> to all <3605> that I shall send <7971> thee, and whatsoever I command <6680> thee thou shalt speak <1696>. 8 Be not afraid <3372> of their faces <6440>: for I [am] with thee to deliver <5337> thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 9 Then the LORD <3068> put <7971> forth <7971> his hand <3027>, and touched <5060> my mouth <6310>. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Behold <2009>, I have put <5414> my words <1697> in thy mouth <6310>. 10 See <7200>, I have this <2088> day <3117> set <6485> thee over <5921> the nations <1471> and over <5921> the kingdoms <4467>, to root <5428> out, and to pull <5422> down, and to destroy <6>, and to throw <2040> down <2040>, to build <1129>, and to plant <5193>. 11. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>, Jeremiah <3414>, what <4100> seest <7200> thou? And I said <0559>, I see <7200> a rod <4731> of an almond <8247> tree. 12 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Thou hast well <3190> seen <7200>: for I will hasten <8245> my word <1697> to perform <6213> it. 13 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me the second <8145> time, saying <0559>, What <4100> seest <7200> thou? And I said <0559>, I see <7200> a seething <5301> pot <5518>; and the face <6440> thereof [is] toward <6440> the north <6828>. 14 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Out of the north <6828> an evil <7451> shall break <6605> forth upon all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>. 15 For, lo <2009>, I will call <7121> all <3605> the families <4940> of the kingdoms <4467> of the north <6828>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and they shall come <0935>, and they shall set <5414> every <0376> one <0376> his throne <3678> at the entering <6607> of the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>, and against <5921> all <3605> the walls <2346> thereof round <5439> about, and against <5921> all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>. 16 And I will utter <1696> my judgments <4941> against <5921> them touching <5921> all <3605> their wickedness <7451>, who have forsaken <5800> me, and have burned <6999> incense <6999> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, and worshipped <7812> the works <4639> of their own <0249> hands <3027>. 17 Thou therefore gird <2296> up thy loins <4975>, and arise <6965>, and speak <1696> unto them all <3605> that I command <6680> thee: be not dismayed <2865> at their faces <6440>, lest <6435> I confound <2865> thee before <6440> them. 18 For, behold <2009>, I have made <5414> thee this day <3117> a defenced <4013> city <5892>, and an iron <1270> pillar <5982>, and brasen <5178> walls <2346> against <5921> the whole <3605> land <0776>, against the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, against the princes <8269> thereof, against the priests <3548> thereof, and against the people <5971> of the land <0776>. 19 And they shall fight <3898> against <0413> thee; but they shall not prevail <3201> against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, to deliver <5337> thee. Jeremiah 2 1. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to me, saying <0559>, 2 Go <1980> and cry <7121> in the ears <0241> of Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; I remember <2142> thee, the kindness <2617> of thy youth <5271>, the love <0160> of thine espousals <3623>, when thou wentest <3212> after <0310> me in the wilderness <4057>, in a land <0776> [that was] not sown <2232>. 3 Israel <3478> [was] holiness <6944> unto the LORD <3068>, [and] the firstfruits <7225> of his increase <8393>: all <3605> that devour <0398> him shall offend <0816>; evil <7451> shall come <0935> upon them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 4 Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and all <3605> the families <4940> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478>: 5 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, What <4100> iniquity <5766> have your fathers <1> found <4672> in me, that they are gone far <7368> from me, and have walked <3212> after <0310> vanity <1892>, and are become <1891> vain <1891>? 6 Neither <3808> said <0559> they, Where <0346> [is] the LORD <3068> that brought <5927> us up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, that led <3212> us through the wilderness <4057>, through a land <0776> of deserts <6160> and of pits <7745>, through a land <0776> of drought <6723>, and of the shadow <6757> of death <6757>, through a land <0776> that no <3808> man <0376> passed <5674> through, and where <8033> no <3808> man <0120> dwelt <3427>? 7 And I brought <0935> you into <0413> a plentiful <3759> country <0776>, to eat <0398> the fruit <6529> thereof and the goodness <2898> thereof; but when ye entered <0935>, ye defiled <2930> my land <0776>, and made <7760> mine heritage <5159> an abomination <8441>. 8 The priests <3548> said <0559> not, Where <0346> [is] the LORD <3068>? and they that handle <8610> the law <8451> knew <3045> me not: the pastors <7462> also transgressed <6586> against me, and the prophets <5030> prophesied <5012> by Baal <1168>, and walked <1980> after <0310> [things that] do not profit <3276>. 9. Wherefore <3651> I will yet <5750> plead <7378> with you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and with your children's <1121> children <1121> will I plead <7378>. 10 For pass <5674> over <5674> the isles <0339> of Chittim <3794>, and see <7200>; and send <7971> unto Kedar <6938>, and consider <0995> diligently <3966>, and see <7200> if there be such <2063> a thing. 11 Hath a nation <1471> changed <4171> [their] gods <0430>, which <1992> [are] yet no <3808> gods <0430>? but my people <5971> have changed <4171> their glory <3519> for [that which <1992>] doth not profit <3276>. 12 Be astonished <8074>, O ye heavens <8064>, at <5921> this <2063>, and be horribly <8175> afraid <8175>, be ye very <3966> desolate <2717>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 13 For my people <5971> have committed <6213> two <8147> evils <7451>; they have forsaken <5800> me the fountain <4726> of living <2416> waters <4325>, [and] hewed <2672> them out cisterns <0877>, broken <7665> cisterns <0877>, that can hold <3557> no <3808> water <4325>. 14. [Is] Israel <3478> a servant <5650>? [is] he a homeborn <1004> [slave]? why <4069> is he spoiled <0957>? 15 The young <3715> lions <3715> roared <7580> upon him, [and] yelled, and they made <7896> his land <0776> waste <8047>: his cities <5892> are burned <3341> without <1097> inhabitant <3427>. 16 Also <1571> the children <1121> of Noph <5297> and Tahapanes <8471> have broken <7462> the crown <6936> of thy head <6936>. 17 Hast thou not procured <6213> this <2063> unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, when <6256> he led <3212> thee by the way <1870>? 18 And now <6258> what <4100> hast thou to do in the way <1870> of Egypt <4714>, to drink <8354> the waters <4325> of Sihor <7883>? or what <4100> hast thou to do in the way <1870> of Assyria <0804>, to drink <8354> the waters <4325> of the river <5104>? 19 Thine own wickedness <7451> shall correct <3256> thee, and thy backslidings <4878> shall reprove <3198> thee: know <3045> therefore and see <7200> that [it is] an evil <7451> [thing] and bitter <4751>, that thou hast forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, and that my fear <6345> [is] not in thee, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>. 20. For of old <5769> time I have broken <7665> thy yoke <5923>, [and] burst <5423> thy bands <4147>; and thou saidst <0559>, I will not transgress <5647>; when <3588> upon every <3605> high <1364> hill <1389> and under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086> thou wanderest <6808>, playing the harlot <2181>. 21 Yet I had planted <5193> thee a noble vine <8321>, wholly <3605> a right <0571> seed <2233>: how <0349> then art thou turned <2015> into the degenerate <5494> plant of a strange <5237> vine <1612> unto me? 22 For though <0518> thou wash <3526> thee with nitre <5427>, and take thee much <7235> soap <1287>, [yet] thine iniquity <5771> is marked <3799> before <6440> me, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>. 23 How <0349> canst thou say <0559>, I am not polluted <2930>, I have not gone <1980> after <0310> Baalim <1168>? see <7200> thy way <1870> in the valley <1516>, know <3045> what <4100> thou hast done <6213>: [thou art] a swift <7031> dromedary <1072> traversing <8308> her ways <1870>; 24 A wild <6501> ass <6501> used <3928> to the wilderness <4057>, [that] snuffeth <7602> up the wind <7307> at her pleasure; in her occasion <8385> who <4310> can turn <7725> her away? all <3605> they that seek <1245> her will not weary <3286> themselves; in her month <2320> they shall find <4672> her. 25 Withhold <4513> thy foot <7272> from being unshod <3182>, and thy throat <1627> from thirst <6773>: but thou saidst <0559>, There is no hope <2976>: no <3808>; for I have loved <0157> strangers <2114>, and after <0310> them will I go <3212>. 26 As the thief <1590> is ashamed <1322> when <3588> he is found <4672>, so <3651> is the house <1004> of Israel <3478> ashamed <0954>; they, their kings <4428>, their princes <8269>, and their priests <3548>, and their prophets <5030>, 27 Saying <0559> to a stock <6086>, Thou [art] my father <1>; and to a stone <68>, Thou hast brought <3205> me forth <3205>: for they have turned <6437> [their] back <6203> unto me, and not [their] face <6440>: but in the time <6256> of their trouble <7451> they will say <0559>, Arise <6965>, and save <3467> us. 28 But where <0346> [are] thy gods <0430> that thou hast made <6213> thee? let them arise <6965>, if they can save <3467> thee in the time <6256> of thy trouble <7451>: for [according to] the number <4557> of thy cities <5892> are thy gods <0430>, O Judah <3063>. 29. Wherefore <4100> will ye plead <7378> with me? ye all <3605> have transgressed <6586> against me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 30 In vain <7723> have I smitten <5221> your children <1121>; they received <3947> no <3808> correction <4148>: your own sword <2719> hath devoured <0398> your prophets <5030>, like a destroying <7843> lion <0738>. 31 O generation <1755>, see <7200> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. Have I been <1961> a wilderness <4057> unto Israel <3478>? a land <0776> of darkness <3991>? wherefore <4069> say <0559> my people <5971>, We are lords <7300>; we will come <0935> no <3808> more <5750> unto thee? 32 Can a maid <1330> forget <7911> her ornaments <5716>, [or] a bride <3618> her attire <7196>? yet my people <5971> have forgotten <7911> me days <3117> without <0369> number <4557>. 33 Why <4100> trimmest <3190> thou thy way <1870> to seek <1245> love <0160>? therefore <3651> hast thou also <1571> taught <3925> the wicked <7451> ones thy ways <1870>. 34 Also <1571> in thy skirts <3671> is found <4672> the blood <1818> of the souls <5315> of the poor <34> innocents <5355>: I have not found <4672> it by secret <5643> search <4290>, but upon all <3605> these <0428>. 35 Yet thou sayest <0559>, Because <3588> I am innocent <5352>, surely <0389> his anger <0639> shall turn <7725> from me. Behold <2005>, I will plead <8199> with thee, because <5921> thou sayest <0559>, I have not sinned <2398>. 36 Why <4100> gaddest <0235> thou about <0235> so much <3966> to change <8138> thy way <1870>? thou also <1571> shalt be ashamed <0954> of Egypt <4714>, as thou wast ashamed <0954> of Assyria <0804>. 37 Yea <1571>, thou shalt go <3318> forth <3318> from him, and thine hands <3027> upon thine head <7218>: for the LORD <3068> hath rejected <3988> thy confidences <4009>, and thou shalt not prosper <6743> in them. Jeremiah 3 1. They say <0559>, If a man <0376> put <7971> away his wife <0802>, and she go <1980> from him, and become <1961> another <0312> man's <0376>, shall he return <7725> unto her again <5750>? shall not that land <0776> be greatly polluted <2610>? but thou hast played the harlot <2181> with many <7227> lovers <7453>; yet return <7725> again to me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 2 Lift <5375> up thine eyes <5869> unto the high <8205> places, and see <7200> where <0375> thou hast not been lien <7693> with. In the ways <1870> hast thou sat <3427> for them, as the Arabian <6163> in the wilderness <4057>; and thou hast polluted <2610> the land <0776> with thy whoredoms <2184> and with thy wickedness <7451>. 3 Therefore the showers <7241> have been withholden <4513>, and there hath been <1961> no <3808> latter <4456> rain <4456>; and thou hadst a whore's <2181> forehead <4696>, thou refusedst <3985> to be ashamed <3637>. 4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258> cry <7121> unto me, My father <1>, thou [art] the guide <0441> of my youth <5271>? 5 Will he reserve <5201> [his anger] for ever? will he keep <8104> [it] to the end <5331>? Behold <2009>, thou hast spoken <1696> and done <6213> evil <7451> things as thou couldest <3201>. 6. The LORD <3068> said <0559> also unto me in the days <3117> of Josiah <2977> the king <4428>, Hast thou seen <7200> [that] which <0834> backsliding <4878> Israel <3478> hath done <6213>? she is gone <1980> up upon every <3605> high <1364> mountain <2022> and under every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>, and there <8033> hath played the harlot <2181>. 7 And I said <0559> after <0310> she had done <6213> all <3605> these <0428> [things], Turn <7725> thou unto me. But she returned <7725> not. And her treacherous <0901> sister <0269> Judah <3063> saw <7200> [it]. 8 And I saw <7200>, when <3588> for all <3605> the causes <0182> whereby <0834> backsliding <4878> Israel <3478> committed <5003> adultery <5003> I had put <7971> her away, and given <5414> her a bill <5612> of divorce <3748>; yet her treacherous <0898> sister <0269> Judah <3063> feared <3372> not, but went <3212> and played the harlot <2181> also <1571>. 9 And it came <1961> to pass through the lightness <6963> of her whoredom <2184>, that she defiled <2610> the land <0776>, and committed <5003> adultery <5003> with stones <68> and with stocks <6086>. 10 And yet for all <3605> this <2063> her treacherous <0901> sister <0269> Judah <3063> hath not turned <7725> unto me with her whole <3605> heart <3820>, but feignedly <8267>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 11 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, The backsliding <4878> Israel <3478> hath justified <6663> herself more than treacherous <0898> Judah <3063>. 12. Go <1980> and proclaim <7121> these <0428> words <1697> toward the north <6828>, and say <0559>, Return <7725>, thou backsliding <4878> Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; [and] I will not cause mine anger <6440> to fall <5307> upon you: for I [am] merciful <2623>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [and] I will not keep <5201> [anger] for ever <5769>. 13 Only <0389> acknowledge <3045> thine iniquity <5771>, that thou hast transgressed <6586> against the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, and hast scattered <6340> thy ways <1870> to the strangers <2114> under <8478> every <3605> green <7488> tree <6086>, and ye have not obeyed <8085> my voice <6963>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 14 Turn <7725>, O backsliding <7726> children <1121>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; for I am married <1166> unto you: and I will take <3947> you one <0259> of a city <5892>, and two <8147> of a family <4940>, and I will bring <0935> you to Zion <6726>: 15 And I will give <5414> you pastors <7462> according to mine heart <3820>, which shall feed <7462> you with knowledge <1844> and understanding <7919>. 16 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> ye be multiplied <7235> and increased <6509> in the land <0776>, in those <1992> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, they shall say <0559> no <3808> more <5750>, The ark <0727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>: neither <3808> shall it come <5927> to mind <3820>: neither <3808> shall they remember <2142> it; neither <3808> shall they visit <6485> [it]; neither <3808> shall [that] be done <6213> any more <5750>. 17 At that time <6256> they shall call <7121> Jerusalem <3389> the throne <3678> of the LORD <3068>; and all <3605> the nations <1471> shall be gathered <6960> unto it, to the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, to Jerusalem <3389>: neither <3808> shall they walk <3212> any more <5750> after <0310> the imagination <8307> of their evil <7451> heart <3820>. 18 In those <1992> days <3117> the house <1004> of Judah <3063> shall walk <3212> with the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and they shall come <0935> together <3162> out of the land <0776> of the north <6828> to the land <0776> that I have given for an inheritance <5157> unto your fathers <1>. 19 But I said <0559>, How <0349> shall I put <7896> thee among the children <1121>, and give <5414> thee a pleasant <2532> land <0776>, a goodly <6643> heritage <5159> of the hosts <6635> of nations <1471>? and I said <0559>, Thou shalt call <7121> me, My father <1>; and shalt not turn <7725> away from me. 20. Surely <0403> [as] a wife <0802> treacherously <0898> departeth from her husband <1167>, so <3651> have ye dealt treacherously <0898> with me, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 21 A voice <6963> was heard <8085> upon the high <8205> places, weeping <1065> [and] supplications <8469> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: for they have perverted <5753> their way <1870>, [and] they have forgotten <7911> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>. 22 Return <7725>, ye backsliding <7726> children <1121>, [and] I will heal <7495> your backslidings <4878>. Behold <2005>, we come <0857> unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. 23 Truly <0403> in vain <8267> [is salvation hoped for] from the hills <1389>, [and from] the multitude <1995> of mountains <2022>: truly <0403> in the LORD <3068> our God <0430> [is] the salvation <8668> of Israel <3478>. 24 For shame <1322> hath devoured <0398> the labour <3018> of our fathers <1> from our youth <5271>; their flocks <6629> and their herds <1241>, their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121>. 25 We lie <7901> down <7901> in our shame <1322>, and our confusion <3639> covereth <3680> us: for we have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, we and our fathers <1>, from our youth <5271> even unto this <2088> day <3117>, and have not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. Jeremiah 4 1. If <0518> thou wilt return <7725>, O Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, return <7725> unto me: and if thou wilt put <5493> away <5493> thine abominations <8251> out of my sight <6440>, then shalt thou not remove <5110>. 2 And thou shalt swear <7650>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, in truth <0571>, in judgment <4941>, and in righteousness <6666>; and the nations <1471> shall bless <1288> themselves in him, and in him shall they glory <1984>. 3. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to the men <0376> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389>, Break <5214> up your fallow <5215> ground, and sow <2232> not among <0413> thorns <6975>. 4 Circumcise <4135> yourselves to the LORD <3068>, and take <5493> away <5493> the foreskins <6190> of your heart <3824>, ye men <0376> of Judah <3063> and inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>: lest <6435> my fury <2534> come <3318> forth <3318> like fire <0784>, and burn <1197> that none <0369> can quench <3518> [it], because <6440> of the evil <7451> of your doings <4611>. 5. Declare <5046> ye in Judah <3063>, and publish <8085> in Jerusalem <3389>; and say <0559>, Blow <8628> ye the trumpet <7782> in the land <0776>: cry <7121>, gather <4390> together, and say <0559>, Assemble <0622> yourselves, and let us go <0935> into <0413> the defenced <4013> cities <5892>. 6 Set <5375> up the standard <5251> toward Zion <6726>: retire <5756>, stay <5975> not: for I will bring <0935> evil <7451> from the north <6828>, and a great <1419> destruction <7667>. 7 The lion <0738> is come <5927> up from his thicket <5441>, and the destroyer <7843> of the Gentiles <1471> is on his way <5265>; he is gone <3318> forth <3318> from his place <4725> to make <7760> thy land <0776> desolate <8047>; [and] thy cities <5892> shall be laid waste <5327>, without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>. 8 For this <2063> gird <2296> you with sackcloth <8242>, lament <5594> and howl <3213>: for the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> is not turned <7725> back <7725> from us. 9 And it shall come <1961> to pass at that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [that] the heart <3820> of the king <4428> shall perish <6>, and the heart <3820> of the princes <8269>; and the priests <3548> shall be astonished <8074>, and the prophets <5030> shall wonder <8539>. 10 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! surely <0403> thou hast greatly deceived <5377> this <2088> people <5971> and Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, Ye shall have <1961> peace <7965>; whereas the sword <2719> reacheth <5060> unto the soul <5315>. 11 At that time <6256> shall it be said <0559> to this <2088> people <5971> and to Jerusalem <3389>, A dry <6703> wind <7307> of the high <8205> places in the wilderness <4057> toward the daughter <1323> of my people <5971>, not to fan <2219>, nor <3808> to cleanse <1305>, 12 [Even] a full <4392> wind <7307> from those <0428> [places] shall come <0935> unto me: now <6258> also <1571> will I give <1696> sentence <4941> against them. 13 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up as clouds <6053>, and his chariots <4818> [shall be] as a whirlwind <5492>: his horses <5483> are swifter <7043> than eagles <5404>. Woe <0188> unto us! for we are spoiled <7703>. 14 O Jerusalem <3389>, wash <3526> thine heart <3820> from wickedness <7451>, that thou mayest be saved <3467>. How <5704> long <5704> shall thy vain <0205> thoughts <4284> lodge <3885> within <7130> thee? 15 For a voice <6963> declareth <5046> from Dan <1835>, and publisheth <8085> affliction <0205> from mount <2022> Ephraim <0669>. 16 Make ye mention <2142> to the nations <1471>; behold <2009>, publish <8085> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, [that] watchers <5341> come <0935> from a far <4801> country <0776>, and give <5414> out their voice <6963> against <5921> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>. 17 As keepers <8104> of a field <7704>, are they against <5921> her round <5439> about; because <3588> she hath been rebellious <4784> against me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 18 Thy way <1870> and thy doings <4611> have procured <6213> these <0428> [things] unto thee; this <2063> [is] thy wickedness <7451>, because <3588> it is bitter <4751>, because <3588> it reacheth <5060> unto thine heart <3820>. 19. My bowels <4578>, my bowels <4578>! I am pained <3176> at my very <7023> heart <3820>; my heart <3820> maketh a noise <1993> in me; I cannot <3808> hold <2790> my peace <2790>, because <3588> thou hast heard <8085>, O my soul <5315>, the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>, the alarm <8643> of war <4421>. 20 Destruction <7667> upon destruction <7667> is cried <7121>; for the whole <3605> land <0776> is spoiled <7703>: suddenly <6597> are my tents <0168> spoiled <7703>, [and] my curtains <3407> in a moment <7281>. 21 How <5704> long <5704> shall I see <7200> the standard <5251>, [and] hear <8085> the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>? 22 For my people <5971> [is] foolish <0191>, they have not known <3045> me; they [are] sottish <5530> children <1121>, and they have none <3808> understanding <0995>: they [are] wise <2450> to do evil <7489>, but to do good <3190> they have no <3808> knowledge <3045>. 23 I beheld <7200> the earth <0776>, and, lo <2009>, [it was] without <8414> form <8414>, and void <0922>; and the heavens <8064>, and they [had] no <0369> light <0216>. 24 I beheld <7200> the mountains <2022>, and, lo <2009>, they trembled <7493>, and all <3605> the hills <1389> moved <7043> lightly <7043>. 25 I beheld <7200>, and, lo <2009>, [there was] no <0369> man <0120>, and all <3605> the birds <5775> of the heavens <8064> were fled <5074>. 26 I beheld <7200>, and, lo <2009>, the fruitful <3759> place [was] a wilderness <4057>, and all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof were broken <5422> down <5422> at the presence <6440> of the LORD <3068>, [and] by his fierce <2740> anger <0639>. 27 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> said <0559>, The whole <3605> land <0776> shall be desolate <8077>; yet will I not make <6213> a full end <3615>. 28 For this <2063> shall the earth <0776> mourn <56>, and the heavens <8064> above <4605> be black <6937>: because I have spoken <1696> [it], I have purposed <2161> [it], and will not repent <5162>, neither <3808> will I turn <7725> back <7725> from it. 29 The whole <3605> city <5892> shall flee <1272> for the noise <6963> of the horsemen <6571> and bowmen; they shall go <0935> into thickets <5645>, and climb <5927> up upon the rocks <3710>: every <3605> city <5892> [shall be] forsaken <5800>, and not a man <0376> dwell <3427> therein <2004>. 30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703>, what <4100> wilt thou do <6213>? Though <3588> thou clothest <3847> thyself with crimson <8144>, though <3588> thou deckest <5710> thee with ornaments <5716> of gold <2091>, though <3588> thou rentest <7167> thy face <5869> with painting <6320>, in vain <7723> shalt thou make thyself fair <3302>; [thy] lovers <5689> will despise <3988> thee, they will seek <1245> thy life <5315>. 31 For I have heard <8085> a voice <6963> as of a woman in travail <2470>, [and] the anguish <6869> as of her that bringeth <1069> forth her first <1069> child, the voice <6963> of the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>, [that] bewaileth <3306> herself, [that] spreadeth <6566> her hands <3709>, [saying], Woe <0188> [is] me now <4994>! for my soul <5315> is wearied <5888> because of murderers <2026>. Jeremiah 5 1. Run <7751> ye to and fro <7751> through the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>, and see <7200> now <4994>, and know <3045>, and seek <1245> in the broad <7339> places thereof, if <0518> ye can find <4672> a man <0376>, if <0518> there be [any] that executeth <6213> judgment <4941>, that seeketh <1245> the truth <0530>; and I will pardon <5545> it. 2 And though <0518> they say <0559>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>; surely <0403> they swear <7650> falsely <8267>. 3 O LORD <3068>, [are] not thine eyes <5869> upon the truth <0530>? thou hast stricken <5221> them, but they have not grieved <2342>; thou hast consumed <3615> them, [but] they have refused <3985> to receive <3947> correction <4148>: they have made their faces <6440> harder <2388> than a rock <5553>; they have refused <3985> to return <7725>. 4 Therefore I said <0559>, Surely <0389> these <1992> [are] poor <1800>; they are foolish <2973>: for they know <3045> not the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>, [nor] the judgment <4941> of their God <0430>. 5 I will get <3212> me unto the great <1419> men, and will speak <1696> unto them; for they have known <3045> the way <1870> of the LORD <3068>, [and] the judgment <4941> of their God <0430>: but these <1992> have altogether <3162> broken <7665> the yoke <5923>, [and] burst <5423> the bonds <4147>. 6 Wherefore a lion <0738> out of the forest <3293> shall slay <5221> them, [and] a wolf <2061> of the evenings <6160> shall spoil <7703> them, a leopard <5246> shall watch <8245> over <5921> their cities <5892>: every one that goeth <3318> out thence <2007> shall be torn <2963> in pieces: because <3588> their transgressions <6588> are many <7231>, [and] their backslidings <4878> are increased <6105>. 7 How <0335> shall I pardon <5545> thee for this <2063>? thy children <1121> have forsaken <5800> me, and sworn <7650> by [them that are] no <3808> gods <0430>: when I had fed them to the full <7646>, they then committed <5003> adultery <5003>, and assembled <1413> themselves by troops in the harlots <2181>' houses <1004>. 8 They were [as] fed <2109> horses <5483> in the morning <7904>: every <0376> one <0376> neighed <6670> after <0413> his neighbour's <7453> wife <0802>. 9 Shall I not visit <6485> for these <0428> [things]? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: and shall not my soul <5315> be avenged <5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this <2088>? 10. Go <5927> ye up upon her walls <8284>, and destroy <7843>; but make <6213> not a full end <3615>: take <5493> away <5493> her battlements <5189>; for they [are] not the LORD'S <3068>. 11 For the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and the house <1004> of Judah <3063> have dealt very treacherously <0898> against me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 12 They have belied <3584> the LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, [It is] not he; neither <3808> shall evil <7451> come <0935> upon us; neither <3808> shall we see <7200> sword <2719> nor famine <7458>: 13 And the prophets <5030> shall become <1961> wind <7307>, and the word <1699> [is] not in them: thus <3541> shall it be done <6213> unto them. 14 Wherefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, Because <3282> ye speak <1696> this <2088> word <1697>, behold <2005>, I will make <5414> my words <1697> in thy mouth <6310> fire <0784>, and this <2088> people <5971> wood <6086>, and it shall devour <0398> them. 15 Lo <2009>, I will bring <0935> a nation <1471> upon you from far <4801>, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: it [is] a mighty <0386> nation <1471>, it [is] an ancient <5769> nation <1471>, a nation <1471> whose language <3956> thou knowest <3045> not, neither <3808> understandest <8085> what <4100> they say <1696>. 16 Their quiver <0827> [is] as an open <6605> sepulchre <6913>, they [are] all <3605> mighty <1368> men. 17 And they shall eat <0398> up thine harvest <7105>, and thy bread <3899>, [which] thy sons <1121> and thy daughters <1121> should eat <0398>: they shall eat <0398> up thy flocks <6629> and thine herds <1241>: they shall eat <0398> up thy vines <1612> and thy fig <8384> trees: they shall impoverish <7567> thy fenced <4013> cities <5892>, wherein <0834> thou trustedst <0982>, with the sword <2719>. 18 Nevertheless <1571> in those <1992> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will not make <6213> a full end <3615> with you. 19 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> ye shall say <0559>, Wherefore doeth <6213> the LORD <3068> our God <0430> all <3605> these <0428> [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer <0559> them, Like as ye have forsaken <5800> me, and served <5647> strange <5236> gods <0430> in your land <0776>, so <3651> shall ye serve <5647> strangers <2114> in a land <0776> [that is] not yours. 20. Declare <5046> this <2063> in the house <1004> of Jacob <3290>, and publish <8085> it in Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, 21 Hear <8085> now <4994> this <2063>, O foolish <5530> people <5971>, and without <0369> understanding <3820>; which have eyes <5869>, and see <7200> not; which have ears <0241>, and hear <8085> not: 22 Fear <3372> ye not me? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: will ye not tremble <2342> at my presence <6440>, which <0834> have placed <0776> the sand <2344> [for] the bound <1366> of the sea <3220> by a perpetual <5769> decree <2706>, that it cannot <3201> pass <5674> it: and though the waves <1530> thereof toss <1607> themselves, yet can they not prevail <3201>; though they roar <1993>, yet can <3201> they not pass <5674> over <5674> it? 23 But this <2088> people <5971> hath a revolting <5637> and a rebellious <4784> heart <3820>; they are revolted <5498> and gone <3212>. 24 Neither <3808> say <0559> they in their heart <3824>, Let us now <4994> fear <3372> the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, that giveth <5414> rain <1653>, both the former <3138> and the latter <4456>, in his season <6256>: he reserveth <8104> unto us the appointed <2708> weeks <7620> of the harvest <7105>. 25. Your iniquities <5771> have turned <5186> away these <0428> [things], and your sins <2403> have withholden <4513> good <2896> [things] from you. 26 For among my people <5971> are found <4672> wicked <7563> [men]: they lay wait <7789>, as he that setteth <7918> snares <3353>; they set <5324> a trap <4889>, they catch <3920> men <0582>. 27 As a cage <3619> is full <4392> of birds <5775>, so <3651> [are] their houses <1004> full <4392> of deceit <4820>: therefore they are become <6238> great <1431>, and waxen rich <6238>. 28 They are waxen fat <8080>, they shine <6245>: yea <1571>, they overpass <5674> the deeds <1697> of the wicked <7451>: they judge <1777> not the cause <1779>, the cause of the fatherless <3490>, yet they prosper <6743>; and the right <4941> of the needy <34> do they not judge <8199>. 29 Shall I not visit <6485> for these <0428> [things]? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: shall not my soul <5315> be avenged <5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this? 30 A wonderful <8047> and horrible <8186> thing is committed <1961> in the land <0776>; 31 The prophets <5030> prophesy <5012> falsely <8267>, and the priests <3548> bear <7287> rule <7287> by their means <3027>; and my people <5971> love <0157> [to have it] so <3651>: and what <4100> will ye do <6213> in the end <0319> thereof? Jeremiah 6 1. O ye children <1121> of Benjamin <1144>, gather <5756> yourselves to flee <5756> out of the midst <7130> of Jerusalem <3389>, and blow <8628> the trumpet <7782> in Tekoa <8620>, and set <5375> up a sign <4864> of fire in Bethhaccerem <1021>: for evil <7451> appeareth <8259> out of the north <6828>, and great <1419> destruction <7667>. 2 I have likened <1819> the daughter <1323> of Zion <6726> to a comely <5000> and delicate <6026> [woman]. 3 The shepherds <7462> with their flocks <5739> shall come <0935> unto her; they shall pitch <8628> [their] tents <0168> against <5921> her round <5439> about; they shall feed <7462> every <0376> one <0376> in his place <3027>. 4 Prepare <6942> ye war <4421> against <5921> her; arise <6965>, and let us go <5927> up at noon <6672>. Woe <0188> unto us! for the day <3117> goeth <6437> away, for the shadows <6752> of the evening <6153> are stretched <5186> out. 5 Arise <6965>, and let us go <5927> by night <3915>, and let us destroy <7843> her palaces <0759>. 6 For thus <3541> hath the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> said <0559>, Hew <3772> ye down trees <6097>, and cast <8210> a mount <5550> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>: this <1931> [is] the city <5892> to be visited <6485>; she [is] wholly <3605> oppression <6233> in the midst <7130> of her. 7 As a fountain <0953> casteth <6979> out her waters <4325>, so <3651> she casteth <6979> out her wickedness <7451>: violence <2555> and spoil <7701> is heard <8085> in her; before me continually <8548> [is] grief <2483> and wounds <4347>. 8 Be thou instructed <3256>, O Jerusalem <3389>, lest <6435> my soul <5315> depart <3363> from thee; lest <6435> I make <7760> thee desolate <8077>, a land <0776> not inhabited <3427>. 9. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, They shall throughly glean <5953> the remnant <7611> of Israel <3478> as a vine <1612>: turn <7725> back <7725> thine hand <3027> as a grapegatherer <1219> into <5921> the baskets <5552>. 10 To whom <4310> shall I speak <1696>, and give warning <5749>, that they may hear <8085>? behold <2009>, their ear <0241> [is] uncircumcised <6189>, and they cannot hearken <7181>: behold <2009>, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> is unto them a reproach <2781>; they have no <3808> delight <2654> in it. 11 Therefore I am full <4392> of the fury <2534> of the LORD <3068>; I am weary <3811> with holding <3557> in: I will pour <8210> it out upon the children <5768> abroad <2351>, and upon the assembly <5475> of young <0970> men together <3162>: for even <1571> the husband <0376> with the wife <0802> shall be taken <3920>, the aged <2205> with [him that is] full <4390> of days <3117>. 12 And their houses <1004> shall be turned <5437> unto others <0312>, [with their] fields <7704> and wives <0802> together <3162>: for I will stretch <5186> out my hand <3027> upon the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 13 For from the least <6996> of them even unto the greatest <1419> of them every <3605> one [is] given to covetousness <1215>; and from the prophet <5030> even unto the priest <3548> every <3605> one dealeth <6213> falsely <8267>. 14 They have healed <7495> also the hurt <7667> [of the daughter] of my people <5971> slightly <7043>, saying <0559>, Peace <7965>, peace <7965>; when [there is] no <0369> peace <7965>. 15 Were they ashamed <0954> when <3588> they had committed <6213> abomination <8441>? nay <1571>, they were not at all ashamed <0954>, neither could <3045> they blush <3637>: therefore <3651> they shall fall <5307> among them that fall <5307>: at the time <6256> [that] I visit <6485> them they shall be cast <3782> down <3782>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>. 16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Stand <5975> ye in the ways <1870>, and see <7200>, and ask <7592> for the old <5769> paths <5410>, where <0335> [is] the good <2896> way <1870>, and walk <3212> therein, and ye shall find <4672> rest <4771> for your souls <5315>. But they said <0559>, We will not walk <3212> [therein]. 17 Also I set <6965> watchmen <6822> over <5921> you, [saying], Hearken <7181> to the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>. But they said <0559>, We will not hearken <7181>. 18. Therefore <3651> hear <8085>, ye nations <1471>, and know <3045>, O congregation <5712>, what [is] among them. 19 Hear <8085>, O earth <0776>: behold <2009>, I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon this <2088> people <5971>, [even] the fruit <6529> of their thoughts <4284>, because they have not hearkened <7181> unto my words <1697>, nor to my law <8451>, but rejected <3988> it. 20 To what <4100> purpose cometh <0935> there to me incense <3828> from Sheba <7614>, and the sweet <2896> cane <7070> from a far <4801> country <0776>? your burnt <5930> offerings [are] not acceptable <7522>, nor <3808> your sacrifices <2077> sweet <6147> unto me. 21 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will lay <5414> stumblingblocks <4383> before <0413> this <2088> people <5971>, and the fathers <1> and the sons <1121> together <3162> shall fall <3782> upon them; the neighbour <7934> and his friend <7453> shall perish <6>. 22 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2009>, a people <5971> cometh <0935> from the north <6828> country <0776>, and a great <1419> nation <1471> shall be raised <5782> from the sides <3411> of the earth <0776>. 23 They shall lay hold <2388> on bow <7198> and spear <3591>; they [are] cruel <0394>, and have no <3808> mercy <7355>; their voice <6963> roareth <1993> like the sea <3220>; and they ride <7392> upon horses <5483>, set in array <6186> as men <0376> for war <4421> against <5921> thee, O daughter <1323> of Zion <6726>. 24 We have heard <8085> the fame <8089> thereof: our hands <3027> wax feeble <7503>: anguish <6869> hath taken <2388> hold <2388> of us, [and] pain <2427>, as of a woman in travail <3205>. 25 Go <3318> not forth <3318> into the field <7704>, nor <0408> walk <3212> by the way <1870>; for the sword <2719> of the enemy <0341> [and] fear <4032> [is] on every <5437> side <5439>. 26 O daughter <1323> of my people <5971>, gird <2296> [thee] with sackcloth <8242>, and wallow <6428> thyself in ashes <0665>: make <6213> thee mourning <60>, [as for] an only <3173> son <3173>, most bitter <8563> lamentation <4553>: for the spoiler <7703> shall suddenly <6597> come <0935> upon us. 27 I have set <5414> thee [for] a tower <0969> [and] a fortress <4013> among my people <5971>, that thou mayest know <3045> and try <0974> their way <1870>. 28 They [are] all <3605> grievous <5493> revolters <5637>, walking <1980> with slanders <7400>: [they are] brass <5178> and iron <1270>; they [are] all <3605> corrupters <7843>. 29 The bellows <4647> are burned <2787>, the lead <5777> is consumed <8552> of the fire <0784>; the founder <6884> melteth <6884> in vain <7723>: for the wicked <7451> are not plucked <5423> away. 30 Reprobate <3988> silver <3701> shall [men] call <7121> them, because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath rejected <3988> them. Jeremiah 7 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Stand <5975> in the gate <8179> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, and proclaim <7121> there <8033> this <2088> word <1697>, and say <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, all <3605> [ye of] Judah <3063>, that enter <0935> in at these <0428> gates <8179> to worship <7812> the LORD <3068>. 3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, Amend <3190> your ways <1870> and your doings <4611>, and I will cause you to dwell <7931> in this <2088> place <4725>. 4 Trust <0982> ye not in lying <8267> words <1697>, saying <0559>, The temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, The temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, The temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, [are] these <1992>. 5 For if <0518> ye throughly amend <3190> your ways <1870> and your doings <4611>; if <0518> ye throughly execute <6213> judgment <4941> between <0996> a man <0376> and his neighbour <7453>; 6 [If] ye oppress <6231> not the stranger <1616>, the fatherless <3490>, and the widow <0490>, and shed <8210> not innocent <5355> blood <1818> in this <2088> place <4725>, neither <3808> walk <3212> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to your hurt <7451>: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell <7931> in this <2088> place <4725>, in the land <0776> that I gave <5414> to your fathers <1>, for ever <5769> and ever <5769>. 8 Behold <2009>, ye trust <0982> in lying <8267> words <1697>, that cannot <1115> profit <3276>. 9 Will ye steal <1589>, murder <7523>, and commit <5003> adultery <5003>, and swear <7650> falsely <8267>, and burn <6999> incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>, and walk <1980> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> whom <0834> ye know <3045> not; 10 And come <0935> and stand <5975> before <6440> me in this <2088> house <1004>, which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, and say <0559>, We are delivered <5337> to do <6213> all <3605> these <0428> abominations <8441>? 11 Is this <2088> house <1004>, which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, become <1961> a den <4631> of robbers <6530> in your eyes <5869>? Behold <2009>, even <1571> I have seen <7200> [it], saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 12 But go <3212> ye now <4994> unto my place <4725> which <0834> [was] in Shiloh <7887>, where I set <7931> my name <8034> at the first <7223>, and see <7200> what I did <6213> to it for the wickedness <7451> of my people <5971> Israel <3478>. 13 And now <4994>, because <3282> ye have done <6213> all <3605> these <0428> works <4639>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and I spake <1696> unto you, rising <7925> up early <7925> and speaking <1696>, but ye heard <8085> not; and I called <7121> you, but ye answered <6030> not; 14 Therefore will I do <6213> unto [this] house <1004>, which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, wherein <0834> ye trust <0982>, and unto the place <4725> which <0834> I gave <5414> to you and to your fathers <1>, as I have done <6213> to Shiloh <7887>. 15 And I will cast <7993> you out of my sight <6440>, as I have cast <7993> out all <3605> your brethren <0251>, [even <0853>] the whole <3605> seed <2233> of Ephraim <0669>. 16. Therefore pray <6419> not thou for this <2088> people <5971>, neither <0408> lift <5375> up cry <7440> nor <0408> prayer <8605> for them, neither <0408> make intercession <6293> to me: for I will not hear <8085> thee. 17 Seest <7200> thou not what <4100> they do <6213> in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>? 18 The children <1121> gather <3950> wood <6086>, and the fathers <1> kindle <1197> the fire <0784>, and the women <0802> knead <3888> [their] dough <1217>, to make <6213> cakes <3561> to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings <5262> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, that they may provoke me to anger <3707>. 19 Do they provoke me to anger <3707>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: [do they] not [provoke] themselves to the confusion <1322> of their own faces <6440>? 20 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>; Behold <2009>, mine anger <0639> and my fury <2534> shall be poured <5413> out upon this <2088> place <4725>, upon man <0120>, and upon beast <0929>, and upon the trees <6086> of the field <7704>, and upon the fruit <6529> of the ground <0127>; and it shall burn <1197>, and shall not be quenched <3518>. 21. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Put <5595> your burnt <5930> offerings unto your sacrifices <2077>, and eat <0398> flesh <1320>. 22 For I spake <1696> not unto your fathers <1>, nor <3808> commanded <6680> them in the day <3117> that I brought <3318> them out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, concerning burnt <5930> offerings or sacrifices <2077>: 23 But this <2088> thing <1697> commanded <6680> I them, saying <0559>, Obey <8085> my voice <6963>, and I will be your God <0430>, and ye shall be my people <5971>: and walk <1980> ye in all <3605> the ways <1870> that I have commanded <6680> you, that it may be well <3190> unto you. 24 But they hearkened <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241>, but walked <3212> in the counsels <4156> [and] in the imagination <8307> of their evil <7451> heart <3820>, and went <1961> backward <0268>, and not forward <6440>. 25 Since <4480> the day <3117> that your fathers <1> came <3318> forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> unto this <2088> day <3117> I have even sent <7971> unto you all <3605> my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, daily <3117> rising <7925> up early <7925> and sending <7971> [them]: 26 Yet they hearkened <8085> not unto me, nor <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241>, but hardened <7185> their neck <6202>: they did worse <7489> than their fathers <1>. 27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> unto them; but they will not hearken <8085> to thee: thou shalt also call <7121> unto them; but they will not answer <6030> thee. 28 But thou shalt say <0559> unto them, This <2088> [is] a nation <1471> that obeyeth <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, nor <3808> receiveth <3947> correction <4148>: truth <0530> is perished <6>, and is cut <3772> off from their mouth <6310>. 29. Cut <1494> off thine hair <5145>, [O Jerusalem], and cast <7993> [it] away, and take <5375> up a lamentation <7015> on <5921> high <8205> places; for the LORD <3068> hath rejected <3988> and forsaken <5203> the generation <1755> of his wrath <5678>. 30 For the children <1121> of Judah <3063> have done <6213> evil <7451> in my sight <5869>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: they have set <7760> their abominations <8251> in the house <1004> which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, to pollute <2930> it. 31 And they have built <1129> the high <1116> places of Tophet <8612>, which <0834> [is] in the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, to burn <8313> their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121> in the fire <0784>; which <0834> I commanded <6680> [them] not, neither <3808> came <5927> it into <5921> my heart <3820>. 32 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that it shall no <3808> more <5750> be called <0559> Tophet <8612>, nor the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, but the valley <1516> of slaughter <2028>: for they shall bury <6912> in Tophet <8612>, till there be no <0369> place <4725>. 33 And the carcases <5038> of this <2088> people <5971> shall be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of the heaven <8064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>; and none <0369> shall fray <2729> [them] away. 34 Then will I cause to cease <7673> from the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and from the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>, the voice <6963> of mirth <8342>, and the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>: for the land <0776> shall be desolate <2723>. Jeremiah 8 1. At that time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, they shall bring <3318> out the bones <6106> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and the bones <6106> of his princes <8269>, and the bones <6106> of the priests <3548>, and the bones <6106> of the prophets <5030>, and the bones <6106> of the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, out of their graves <6913>: 2 And they shall spread <7849> them before the sun <8121>, and the moon <3394>, and all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064>, whom <0834> they have loved <0157>, and whom <0834> they have served <5647>, and after <0310> whom <0834> they have walked <1980>, and whom they have sought <1875>, and whom <0834> they have worshipped <7812>: they shall not be gathered <0622>, nor <3808> be buried <6912>; they shall be for dung <1828> upon the face <6440> of the earth <0127>. 3 And death <4194> shall be chosen <0977> rather than life <2416> by all <3605> the residue <7611> of them that remain <7604> of this <2063> evil <7451> family <4940>, which remain <7604> in all <3605> the places <4725> whither I have driven <5080> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>. 4. Moreover thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Shall they fall <5307>, and not arise <6965>? shall he turn <7725> away, and not return <7725>? 5 Why <4069> [then] is this <2088> people <5971> of Jerusalem <3389> slidden <7725> back <7725> by a perpetual <5331> backsliding <4878>? they hold <2388> fast deceit <8649>, they refuse <3985> to return <7725>. 6 I hearkened <8085> and heard <8085>, [but] they spake <1696> not aright <3651>: no <0369> man <0376> repented <5162> him of his wickedness <7451>, saying <0559>, What <4100> have I done <6213>? every <3605> one turned <7725> to his course <4794>, as the horse <5483> rusheth <7857> into the battle <4421>. 7 Yea <1571>, the stork <2624> in the heaven <8064> knoweth <3045> her appointed <4150> times <6256>; and the turtle <8449> and the crane <5483> and the swallow <5693> observe <8104> the time <6256> of their coming <0935>; but my people <5971> know <3045> not the judgment <4941> of the LORD <3068>. 8 How <0349> do ye say <0559>, We [are] wise <2450>, and the law <8451> of the LORD <3068> [is] with us? Lo <2009>, certainly <0403> in vain <8267> made <6213> he [it]; the pen <5842> of the scribes <5608> [is] in vain <8267>. 9 The wise <2450> [men] are ashamed <0954>, they are dismayed <2865> and taken: lo <2009>, they have rejected <3988> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>; and what <4100> wisdom <2451> [is] in them? 10 Therefore <3651> will I give <5414> their wives <0802> unto others <0312>, [and] their fields <7704> to them that shall inherit <3423> [them]: for every <3605> one from the least <6996> even unto the greatest <1419> is given to covetousness <1215>, from the prophet <5030> even unto the priest <3548> every <3605> one dealeth <6213> falsely <8267>. 11 For they have healed <7495> the hurt <7667> of the daughter <1323> of my people <5971> slightly <7043>, saying <0559>, Peace <7965>, peace <7965>; when [there is] no <0369> peace <7965>. 12 Were they ashamed <0954> when <3588> they had committed <6213> abomination <8441>? nay <1571>, they were not at all ashamed <0954>, neither <3808> could <3045> they blush <3637>: therefore <3651> shall they fall <5307> among them that fall <5307>: in the time <6256> of their visitation <6486> they shall be cast <3782> down <3782>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>. 13. I will surely consume <5486> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: [there shall be] no <0369> grapes <6025> on the vine <1612>, nor <0369> figs <8384> on the fig <8384> tree, and the leaf <5929> shall fade <5034>; and [the things that] I have given <5414> them shall pass <5674> away from them. 14 Why do we sit <3427> still? assemble <0622> yourselves, and let us enter <0935> into <0413> the defenced <4013> cities <5892>, and let us be silent <1826> there <8033>: for the LORD <3068> our God <0430> hath put us to silence <1826>, and given us water <4325> of gall <7219> to drink <8248>, because <3588> we have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>. 15 We looked <6960> for peace <7965>, but no <0369> good <2896> [came; and] for a time <6256> of health <4832>, and behold <2009> trouble <1205>! 16 The snorting <5170> of his horses <5483> was heard <8085> from Dan <1835>: the whole <3605> land <0776> trembled <7493> at the sound <6963> of the neighing <4684> of his strong <47> ones; for they are come <0935>, and have devoured <0398> the land <0776>, and all <4393> that is in it; the city <5892>, and those that dwell <3427> therein. 17 For, behold <2005>, I will send <7971> serpents <5175>, cockatrices <6848>, among you, which <0834> [will] not [be] charmed <3908>, and they shall bite <5391> you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 18 [When] I would comfort <4010> myself against sorrow <3015>, my heart <3820> [is] faint <1742> in me. 19 Behold <2009> the voice <6963> of the cry <7775> of the daughter <1323> of my people <5971> because of them that dwell in a far <4801> country <0776>: [Is] not the LORD <3068> in Zion <6726>? [is] not her king <4428> in her? Why <4069> have they provoked me to anger <3707> with their graven <6456> images, [and] with strange <5236> vanities <1892>? 20 The harvest <7105> is past <5674>, the summer <7019> is ended <3615>, and we are not saved <3467>. 21 For the hurt <7667> of the daughter <1323> of my people <5971> am I hurt <7665>; I am black <6937>; astonishment <8047> hath taken <2388> hold <2388> on me. 22 [Is there] no <0369> balm <6875> in Gilead <1568>; [is there] no <0369> physician <7495> there? why <4069> then <3588> is not the health <0724> of the daughter <1323> of my people <5971> recovered <5927>? Jeremiah 9 1. Oh that my head <7218> were waters <4325>, and mine eyes <5869> a fountain <4726> of tears <1832>, that I might weep <1058> day <3119> and night <3915> for the slain <2491> of the daughter <1323> of my people <5971>! 2 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057> a lodging <4411> place of wayfaring <0732> men; that I might leave <5800> my people <5971>, and go <3212> from them! for they [be] all <3605> adulterers <5003>, an assembly <6116> of treacherous <0898> men. 3 And they bend <1869> their tongues <3956> [like] their bow <7198> [for] lies <8267>: but they are not valiant <1396> for the truth <0530> upon the earth <0776>; for they proceed <3318> from evil <7451> to evil <7451>, and they know <3045> not me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 4 Take ye heed <8104> every <0376> one <0376> of his neighbour <7453>, and trust <0982> ye not in any <3605> brother <0251>: for every <3605> brother <0251> will utterly supplant <6117>, and every <3605> neighbour <7453> will walk <1980> with slanders <7400>. 5 And they will deceive <2048> every <0376> one <0376> his neighbour <7453>, and will not speak <1696> the truth <0571>: they have taught <3925> their tongue <3956> to speak <1696> lies <8267>, [and] weary <3811> themselves to commit <5753> iniquity <5753>. 6 Thine habitation <3427> [is] in the midst <8432> of deceit <4820>; through deceit <4820> they refuse <3985> to know <3045> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 7 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Behold <2005>, I will melt <6884> them, and try <0974> them; for how <0349> shall I do <6213> for the daughter <1323> of my people <5971>? 8 Their tongue <3956> [is as] an arrow <2671> shot <7819> out; it speaketh <1696> deceit <4820>: [one] speaketh <1696> peaceably <7965> to his neighbour <7453> with his mouth <6310>, but in heart <7130> he layeth <7760> his wait <0696>. 9 Shall I not visit <6485> them for these <0428> [things]? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: shall not my soul <5315> be avenged <5358> on such <0834> a nation <1471> as this <2088>? 10 For the mountains <2022> will I take <5375> up a weeping <1065> and wailing <5092>, and for the habitations <4999> of the wilderness <4057> a lamentation <7015>, because <3588> they are burned <3341> up, so that none can <3201> pass <5674> through [them]; neither <3808> can <3201> [men] hear <8085> the voice <6963> of the cattle <4735>; both the fowl <5775> of the heavens <8064> and the beast <0929> are fled <5074>; they are gone <1980>. 11 And I will make <5414> Jerusalem <3389> heaps <1530>, [and] a den <4583> of dragons <8577>; and I will make <5414> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> desolate <8077>, without <1097> an inhabitant <3427>. 12. Who <4310> [is] the wise <2450> man <0376>, that may understand <0995> this <2063>? and [who is he] to whom <0834> the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>, that he may declare <5046> it, for what <4100> the land <0776> perisheth <6> [and] is burned <3341> up like a wilderness <4057>, that none <1997> passeth <5674> through? 13 And the LORD <3068> saith <0559>, Because <5921> they have forsaken <5800> my law <8451> which <0834> I set <5414> before <6440> them, and have not obeyed <8085> my voice <6963>, neither <3808> walked <1980> therein; 14 But have walked <3212> after <0310> the imagination <8307> of their own heart <3820>, and after <0310> Baalim <1168>, which <0834> their fathers <1> taught <3925> them: 15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will feed <0398> them, [even] this <2088> people <5971>, with wormwood <3939>, and give them water <4325> of gall <7219> to drink <8248>. 16 I will scatter <6327> them also among the heathen <1471>, whom <0834> neither <3808> they nor their fathers <1> have known <3045>: and I will send <7971> a sword <2719> after <0310> them, till <5704> I have consumed <3615> them. 17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Consider <0995> ye, and call <7121> for the mourning <6969> women, that they may come <0935>; and send <7971> for cunning <2450> [women], that they may come <0935>: 18 And let them make haste <4116>, and take <5375> up a wailing <5092> for us, that our eyes <5869> may run <3381> down with tears <1832>, and our eyelids <6079> gush <5140> out with waters <4325>. 19 For a voice <6963> of wailing <5092> is heard <8085> out of Zion <6726>, How <0349> are we spoiled <7703>! we are greatly <3966> confounded <0954>, because <3588> we have forsaken <5800> the land <0776>, because <3588> our dwellings <4908> have cast <7993> [us] out. 20 Yet <3588> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O ye women <0802>, and let your ear <0241> receive <3947> the word <1697> of his mouth <6310>, and teach <3925> your daughters <1121> wailing <5092>, and every <0802> one her neighbour <7468> lamentation <7015>. 21 For death <4194> is come <5927> up into our windows <2474>, [and] is entered <0935> into our palaces <0759>, to cut <3772> off the children <5768> from without <2351>, [and] the young <0970> men from the streets <7339>. 22 Speak <1696>, Thus <3541> saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, Even the carcases <5038> of men <0120> shall fall <5307> as dung <1828> upon the open <6440> field <7704>, and as the handful <5995> after <0310> the harvestman <7114>, and none <0369> shall gather <0622> [them]. 23. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Let not the wise <2450> [man] glory <1984> in his wisdom <2451>, neither <0408> let the mighty <1368> [man] glory <1984> in his might <1369>, let not the rich <6223> [man] glory <1984> in his riches <6239>: 24 But let him that glorieth <1984> glory <1984> in this <2063>, that he understandeth <7919> and knoweth <3045> me, that I [am] the LORD <3068> which exercise <6213> lovingkindness <2617>, judgment <4941>, and righteousness <6666>, in the earth <0776>: for in these <0428> [things] I delight <2654>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 25 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will punish <6485> all <3605> [them which are] circumcised <4135> with the uncircumcised <6190>; 26 Egypt <4714>, and Judah <3063>, and Edom <0123>, and the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, and Moab <4124>, and all <3605> [that are] in the utmost <7112> corners <6285>, that dwell <3427> in the wilderness <4057>: for all <3605> [these] nations <1471> [are] uncircumcised <6189>, and all <3605> the house <1004> of Israel <3478> [are] uncircumcised <6189> in the heart <3820>. Jeremiah 10 1. Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> speaketh <1696> unto you, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>: 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Learn <3925> not the way <1870> of the heathen <1471>, and be not dismayed <2865> at the signs <0226> of heaven <8064>; for the heathen <1471> are dismayed <2865> at them. 3 For the customs <2708> of the people <5971> [are] vain <1892>: for [one] cutteth <3772> a tree <6086> out of the forest <3293>, the work <4639> of the hands <3027> of the workman <2796>, with the axe <4621>. 4 They deck <3302> it with silver <3701> and with gold <2091>; they fasten <2388> it with nails <4548> and with hammers <4717>, that it move <6328> not. 5 They [are] upright <4749> as the palm <8560> tree, but speak <1696> not: they must needs be borne <5375>, because <3588> they cannot <3808> go <6805>. Be not afraid <3372> of them; for they cannot <3808> do evil <7489>, neither also <1571> [is it] in them to do good <3190>. 6 Forasmuch as [there is] none <0369> like <3644> unto thee, O LORD <3068>; thou [art] great <1419>, and thy name <8034> [is] great <1419> in might <1369>. 7 Who <4310> would not fear <3372> thee, O King <4428> of nations <1471>? for to thee doth it appertain <2969>: forasmuch as among all <3605> the wise <2450> [men] of the nations <1471>, and in all <3605> their kingdoms <4467>, [there is] none <0369> like <3644> unto thee. 8 But they are altogether <0259> brutish <1197> and foolish <3688>: the stock <6086> [is] a doctrine <4148> of vanities <1892>. 9 Silver <3701> spread <7554> into plates is brought <0935> from Tarshish <8659>, and gold <2091> from Uphaz <0210>, the work <4639> of the workman <2796>, and of the hands <3027> of the founder <6884>: blue <8504> and purple <0713> [is] their clothing <3830>: they [are] all <3605> the work <4639> of cunning <2450> [men]. 10 But the LORD <3068> [is] the true <0571> God <0430>, he [is] the living <2416> God <0430>, and an everlasting <5769> king <4428>: at his wrath <7110> the earth <0776> shall tremble <7493>, and the nations <1471> shall not be able <3201> to abide <3557> his indignation <2195>. 11 Thus <1836> shall ye say <0560> unto them, The gods <0426> that have not made <5648> the heavens <8065> and the earth <0778>, [even] they shall perish <7> from the earth <0772>, and from under <8460> these <0429> heavens <8065>. 12 He hath made <6213> the earth <0776> by his power <3581>, he hath established <3559> the world <8398> by his wisdom <2451>, and hath stretched <5186> out the heavens <8064> by his discretion <8394>. 13 When he uttereth <5414> his voice <6963>, [there is] a multitude <1995> of waters <4325> in the heavens <8064>, and he causeth the vapours <5387> to ascend <5927> from the ends <7097> of the earth <0776>; he maketh <6213> lightnings <1300> with rain <4306>, and bringeth <3318> forth <3318> the wind <7307> out of his treasures <0214>. 14 Every <3605> man <0120> is brutish <1197> in [his] knowledge <1847>: every <3605> founder <6884> is confounded <3001> by the graven <6459> image <6459>: for his molten <5262> image [is] falsehood <8267>, and [there is] no <3808> breath <7307> in them. 15 They [are] vanity <1892>, [and] the work <4639> of errors <8595>: in the time <6256> of their visitation <6486> they shall perish <6>. 16 The portion <2506> of Jacob <3290> [is] not like them: for he [is] the former <3335> of all <3605> [things]; and Israel <3478> [is] the rod <7626> of his inheritance <5159>: The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>. 17. Gather <0622> up thy wares <3666> out of the land <0776>, O inhabitant <3427> of the fortress <4693>. 18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will sling <7049> out the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> at this <2063> once <6471>, and will distress <6887> them, that they may find <4672> [it so]. 19 Woe <0188> is me for my hurt <7667>! my wound <4347> is grievous <2470>: but I said <0559>, Truly <0389> this <2088> [is] a grief <2483>, and I must bear <5375> it. 20 My tabernacle <0168> is spoiled <7703>, and all <3605> my cords <4340> are broken <5423>: my children <1121> are gone <3318> forth <3318> of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none <0369> to stretch <5186> forth my tent <0168> any more <5750>, and to set <6965> up my curtains <3407>. 21 For the pastors <7462> are become <1197> brutish <1197>, and have not sought <1875> the LORD <3068>: therefore they shall not prosper <7919>, and all <3605> their flocks <4830> shall be scattered <6327>. 22 Behold <2009>, the noise <6963> of the bruit <8052> is come <0935>, and a great <1419> commotion <7494> out of the north <6828> country <0776>, to make <7760> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> desolate <8077>, [and] a den <4583> of dragons <8577>. 23 O LORD <3068>, I know <3045> that the way <1870> of man <0120> [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh <1980> to direct <3559> his steps <6806>. 24 O LORD <3068>, correct <3256> me, but with judgment <4941>; not in thine anger <0639>, lest <6435> thou bring me to nothing <4591>. 25 Pour <8210> out thy fury <2534> upon the heathen <1471> that know <3045> thee not, and upon the families <4940> that call <7121> not on thy name <8034>: for they have eaten <0398> up Jacob <3290>, and devoured <0398> him, and consumed <3615> him, and have made his habitation <5116> desolate <8074>. Jeremiah 11 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of this <2088> covenant <1285>, and speak <1696> unto the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>; 3 And say <0559> thou unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> that obeyeth <8085> not the words <1697> of this <2088> covenant <1285>, 4 Which <0834> I commanded <6680> your fathers <1> in the day <3117> [that] I brought <3318> them forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, from the iron <1270> furnace <3564>, saying <0559>, Obey <8085> my voice <6963>, and do <6213> them, according to all <3605> which <0834> I command <6680> you: so shall ye be my people <5971>, and I will be your God <0430>: 5 That I may perform <6965> the oath <7621> which <0834> I have sworn <7650> unto your fathers <1>, to give <5414> them a land <0776> flowing <2100> with milk <2461> and honey <1706>, as [it is] this <2088> day <3117>. Then answered <6030> I, and said <0559>, So <0543> be it, O LORD <3068>. 6 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Proclaim <7121> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the words <1697> of this <2088> covenant <1285>, and do <6213> them. 7 For I earnestly protested <5749> unto your fathers <1> in the day <3117> [that] I brought <5927> them up out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, [even] unto this <2088> day <3117>, rising <7925> early <7925> and protesting <5749>, saying <0559>, Obey <8085> my voice <6963>. 8 Yet they obeyed <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241>, but walked <3212> every <0376> one <0376> in the imagination <8307> of their evil <7451> heart <3820>: therefore I will bring <0935> upon them all <3605> the words <1697> of this <2088> covenant <1285>, which <0834> I commanded <6680> [them] to do <6213>; but they did <6213> [them] not. 9 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, A conspiracy <7195> is found <4672> among the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and among the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>. 10 They are turned <7725> back <7725> to the iniquities <5771> of their forefathers, which <0834> refused <3985> to hear <8085> my words <1697>; and they went <1980> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <5647> them: the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and the house <1004> of Judah <3063> have broken <6565> my covenant <1285> which <0834> I made <3772> with their fathers <1>. 11. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon them, which <0834> they shall not be able <3201> to escape <3318>; and though they shall cry <2199> unto me, I will not hearken <8085> unto them. 12 Then shall the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> and inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389> go <1980>, and cry <2199> unto the gods <0430> unto whom they offer incense <6999>: but they shall not save <3467> them at all in the time <6256> of their trouble <7451>. 13 For [according to] the number <4557> of thy cities <5892> were thy gods <0430>, O Judah <3063>; and [according to] the number <4557> of the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389> have ye set <7760> up altars <4196> to [that] shameful <1322> thing, [even] altars <4196> to burn <6999> incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>. 14 Therefore pray <6419> not thou for this <2088> people <5971>, neither <0408> lift <5375> up a cry <7440> or prayer <8605> for them: for I will not hear <8085> [them] in the time <6256> that they cry <7121> unto me for their trouble <7451>. 15 What <4100> hath my beloved <3039> to do in mine house <1004>, [seeing] she hath wrought <6213> lewdness <4209> with many <7227>, and the holy <6944> flesh <1320> is passed <5674> from thee? when <3588> thou doest evil <7451>, then <0227> thou rejoicest <5937>. 16 The LORD <3068> called <7121> thy name <8034>, A green <7488> olive <2132> tree, fair <3303>, [and] of goodly fruit <6529>: with the noise <6963> of a great <1419> tumult <1999> he hath kindled <3341> fire <0784> upon it, and the branches <1808> of it are broken <7489>. 17 For the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that planted <5193> thee, hath pronounced <1696> evil <7451> against <5921> thee, for the evil <7451> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and of the house <1004> of Judah <3063>, which <0834> they have done <6213> against themselves <1992> to provoke me to anger <3707> in offering incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>. 18. And the LORD <3068> hath given me knowledge <3045> [of it], and I know <3045> [it]: then <0227> thou shewedst <7200> me their doings <4611>. 19 But I [was] like a lamb <3532> [or] an ox <0441> [that] is brought <2986> to the slaughter <2873>; and I knew <3045> not that they had devised <2803> devices <4284> against <5921> me, [saying], Let us destroy <7843> the tree <6086> with the fruit <3899> thereof, and let us cut <3772> him off from the land <0776> of the living <2416>, that his name <8034> may be no <3808> more <5750> remembered <2142>. 20 But, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that judgest <8199> righteously <6664>, that triest <0974> the reins <3629> and the heart <3820>, let me see <7200> thy vengeance <5360> on them: for unto thee have I revealed <1540> my cause <7379>. 21 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of the men <0582> of Anathoth <6068>, that seek <1245> thy life <5315>, saying <0559>, Prophesy <5012> not in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, that thou die <4191> not by our hand <3027>: 22 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> them: the young <0970> men shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>; their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121> shall die <4191> by famine <7458>: 23 And there shall be no <3808> remnant <7611> of them: for I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon the men <0582> of Anathoth <6068>, [even] the year <8141> of their visitation <6486>. Jeremiah 12 1. Righteous <6662> [art] thou, O LORD <3068>, when <3588> I plead <7378> with thee: yet <0389> let me talk <1696> with thee of [thy] judgments <4941>: Wherefore <4069> doth the way <1870> of the wicked <7563> prosper <6743>? [wherefore] are all <3605> they happy <7951> that deal very <0899> treacherously <0898>? 2 Thou hast planted <5193> them, yea <1571>, they have taken root <8327>: they grow <3212>, yea <1571>, they bring <6213> forth <6213> fruit <6529>: thou [art] near <7138> in their mouth <6310>, and far <7350> from their reins <3629>. 3 But thou, O LORD <3068>, knowest <3045> me: thou hast seen <7200> me, and tried <0974> mine heart <3820> toward <0854> thee: pull <5423> them out like sheep <6629> for the slaughter <2873>, and prepare <6942> them for the day <3117> of slaughter <2028>. 4 How <5704> long <5704> shall the land <0776> mourn <56>, and the herbs <6212> of every <3605> field <7704> wither <3001>, for the wickedness <7451> of them that dwell <3427> therein? the beasts <0929> are consumed <5595>, and the birds <5775>; because <3588> they said <0559>, He shall not see <7200> our last <0319> end. 5 If <3588> thou hast run <7323> with the footmen <7273>, and they have wearied <3811> thee, then how <0349> canst thou contend <8474> with horses <5483>? and [if] in the land <0776> of peace <7965>, [wherein] thou trustedst <0982>, [they wearied thee], then how <0349> wilt thou do <6213> in the swelling <1347> of Jordan <3383>? 6 For even <1571> thy brethren <0251>, and the house <1004> of thy father <1>, even <1571> they have dealt treacherously <0898> with thee; yea <1571>, they have called <7121> a multitude <4392> after <0310> thee: believe <0539> them not, though <3588> they speak <1696> fair <2896> words unto thee. 7. I have forsaken <5800> mine house <1004>, I have left <5203> mine heritage <5159>; I have given <5414> the dearly beloved <3039> of my soul <5315> into the hand <3709> of her enemies <0341>. 8 Mine heritage <5159> is unto me as a lion <0738> in the forest <3293>; it crieth out against <5921> me: therefore have I hated <8130> it. 9 Mine heritage <5159> [is] unto me [as] a speckled <6641> bird <5861>, the birds <5861> round <5439> about [are] against <5921> her; come <3212> ye, assemble <0622> all <3605> the beasts <2416> of the field <7704>, come <0857> to devour <0402>. 10 Many <7227> pastors <7462> have destroyed <7843> my vineyard <3754>, they have trodden <0947> my portion <2513> under foot <0947>, they have made <5414> my pleasant <2532> portion <2513> a desolate <8077> wilderness <4057>. 11 They have made <7760> it desolate <8074>, [and being] desolate <8077> it mourneth <56> unto me; the whole <3605> land <0776> is made desolate <8074>, because <3588> no <0369> man <0376> layeth <7760> [it] to heart <3820>. 12 The spoilers <7703> are come <0935> upon all <3605> high <8205> places through the wilderness <4057>: for the sword <2719> of the LORD <3068> shall devour <0398> from the [one] end <7097> of the land <0776> even to the [other] end <7097> of the land <0776>: no <0369> flesh <1320> shall have peace <7965>. 13 They have sown <2232> wheat <2406>, but shall reap <7114> thorns <6975>: they have put themselves to pain <2470>, [but] shall not profit <3276>: and they shall be ashamed <0954> of your revenues <8393> because of the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD <3068>. 14. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> against <5921> all <3605> mine evil <7451> neighbours <7934>, that touch <5060> the inheritance <5159> which <0834> I have caused my people <5971> Israel <3478> to inherit <5157>; Behold <2005>, I will pluck <5428> them out of their land <0127>, and pluck <5428> out the house <1004> of Judah <3063> from among <8432> them. 15 And it shall come to pass, after <0310> that I have plucked <5428> them out I will return <7725>, and have compassion <7355> on them, and will bring <7725> them again <7725>, every man <0376> to his heritage <5159>, and every man <0376> to his land <0776>. 16 And it shall come to pass, if <0518> they will diligently learn <3925> the ways <1870> of my people <5971>, to swear <7650> by my name <8034>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>; as they taught <3925> my people <5971> to swear <7650> by Baal <1168>; then shall they be built <1129> in the midst <8432> of my people <5971>. 17 But if <0518> they will not obey <8085>, I will utterly pluck <5428> up and destroy <6> that nation <1471>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 13 1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Go <1980> and get <7069> thee a linen <6593> girdle <0232>, and put <7760> it upon thy loins <4975>, and put <7760> it not in water <4325>. 2 So I got <7069> a girdle <0232> according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, and put <7760> [it] on <5921> my loins <4975>. 3 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me the second <8145> time, saying <0559>, 4 Take <3947> the girdle <0232> that thou hast got <7069>, which <0834> [is] upon thy loins <4975>, and arise <6965>, go <3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and hide <2934> it there <8033> in a hole <5357> of the rock. 5 So I went <3212>, and hid <2934> it by Euphrates <6578>, as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> me. 6 And it came <1961> to pass after <7093> many <7227> days <3117>, that the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Arise <6965>, go <3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and take <3947> the girdle <0232> from thence <8033>, which <0834> I commanded <6680> thee to hide <2934> there <8033>. 7 Then I went <3212> to Euphrates <6578>, and digged <2658>, and took <3947> the girdle <0232> from the place <4725> where I had hid <2934> it: and, behold <2009>, the girdle <0232> was marred <7843>, it was profitable <6743> for nothing. 8 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>, 9 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, After <3602> this manner <3541> will I mar <7843> the pride <1347> of Judah <3063>, and the great <7227> pride <1347> of Jerusalem <3389>. 10 This <2088> evil <7451> people <5971>, which refuse <3987> to hear <8085> my words <1697>, which walk <1980> in the imagination <8307> of their heart <3820>, and walk <1980> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, to serve <5647> them, and to worship <7812> them, shall even be as this <2088> girdle <0232>, which <0834> is good <6743> for nothing. 11 For as the girdle <0232> cleaveth <1692> to the loins <4975> of a man <0376>, so <3651> have I caused to cleave <1692> unto me the whole <3605> house <1004> of Israel <3478> and the whole <3605> house <1004> of Judah <3063>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; that they might be unto me for a people <5971>, and for a name <8034>, and for a praise <8416>, and for a glory <8597>: but they would not hear <8085>. 12. Therefore thou shalt speak <0559> unto them this <2088> word <1697>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, Every <3605> bottle <5035> shall be filled <4390> with wine <3196>: and they shall say <0559> unto thee, Do we not certainly know <3045> that every <3605> bottle <5035> shall be filled <4390> with wine <3196>? 13 Then shalt thou say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will fill <5433> all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of this land <0776>, even the kings <4428> that sit <3427> upon David's <1732> throne <3678>, and the priests <3548>, and the prophets <5030>, and all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, with drunkenness <7943>. 14 And I will dash <5310> them one <0376> against <0413> another <0250>, even the fathers <1> and the sons <1121> together <3162>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: I will not pity <2550>, nor <3808> spare <2347>, nor <3808> have mercy <7355>, but destroy <7843> them. 15 Hear <8085> ye, and give ear <0238>; be not proud <1341>: for the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696>. 16 Give <5414> glory <3519> to the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, before <2962> he cause darkness <2821>, and before <2962> your feet <7272> stumble <5062> upon the dark <5399> mountains <2022>, and, while ye look <6960> for light <0216>, he turn <7760> it into the shadow <6757> of death <6757>, [and] make <7896> [it] gross <6205> darkness <6205>. 17 But if <0518> ye will not hear <8085> it, my soul <5315> shall weep <1058> in secret <4565> places for [your] pride <1466>; and mine eye <5869> shall weep <1830> sore, and run <3381> down with tears <1832>, because <3588> the LORD'S <3068> flock <5739> is carried <7617> away captive <7617>. 18 Say <0559> unto the king <4428> and to the queen <1377>, Humble <8213> yourselves, sit <3427> down: for your principalities <4761> shall come <3381> down <3381>, [even] the crown <5850> of your glory <8597>. 19 The cities <5892> of the south <5045> shall be shut <5462> up, and none <0369> shall open <6605> [them]: Judah <3063> shall be carried <1540> away captive <1540> all <3605> of it, it shall be wholly <7965> carried <1540> away captive <1540>. 20 Lift <5375> up your eyes <5869>, and behold <7200> them that come <0935> from the north <6828>: where <0346> [is] the flock <5739> [that] was given <5414> thee, thy beautiful <8597> flock <6629>? 21 What <4100> wilt thou say <0559> when <3588> he shall punish <6485> thee? for thou hast taught <3925> them [to be] captains <0441>, [and] as chief <7218> over <5921> thee: shall not sorrows <2256> take <0270> thee, as a woman <0802> in travail <3205>? 22. And if <3588> thou say <0559> in thine heart <3824>, Wherefore <4069> come <7122> these <0428> things upon me? For the greatness <7230> of thine iniquity <5771> are thy skirts <7757> discovered <1540>, [and] thy heels <6119> made bare <2554>. 23 Can the Ethiopian <3569> change <2015> his skin <5785>, or the leopard <5246> his spots <2272>? [then] may <3201> ye also <1571> do good <3190>, that are accustomed <3928> to do evil <7489>. 24 Therefore will I scatter <6327> them as the stubble <7179> that passeth <5674> away by the wind <7307> of the wilderness <4057>. 25 This <2088> [is] thy lot <1486>, the portion <4490> of thy measures <4055> from me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; because <0834> thou hast forgotten <7911> me, and trusted <0982> in falsehood <8267>. 26 Therefore will I discover <2834> thy skirts <7757> upon thy face <6440>, that thy shame <7036> may appear <7200>. 27 I have seen <7200> thine adulteries <5004>, and thy neighings <4684>, the lewdness <2154> of thy whoredom <2184>, [and] thine abominations <8251> on <5921> the hills <1389> in the fields <7704>. Woe <0188> unto thee, O Jerusalem <3389>! wilt thou not be made clean <2891>? when [shall it] once <5750> [be]? Jeremiah 14 1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> concerning the dearth <1226>. 2 Judah <3063> mourneth <56>, and the gates <8179> thereof languish <0535>; they are black <6937> unto the ground <0776>; and the cry <6682> of Jerusalem <3389> is gone <5927> up. 3 And their nobles <0117> have sent <7971> their little <6810> ones to the waters <4325>: they came <0935> to the pits <1356>, [and] found <4672> no <3808> water <4325>; they returned <7725> with their vessels <3627> empty <7387>; they were ashamed <0954> and confounded <3637>, and covered <2645> their heads <7218>. 4 Because <5668> the ground <0127> is chapt <2865>, for there was no <3808> rain <1653> in the earth <0776>, the plowmen <0406> were ashamed <0954>, they covered <2645> their heads <7218>. 5 Yea, the hind <0365> also <1571> calved <3205> in the field <7704>, and forsook <5800> [it], because <3588> there was no <3808> grass <1758>. 6 And the wild <6501> asses <6501> did stand <5975> in the high <8205> places, they snuffed <7602> up the wind <7307> like dragons <8577>; their eyes <5869> did fail <3615>, because <3588> [there was] no <0369> grass <6212>. 7 O LORD <3068>, though <0518> our iniquities <5771> testify <6030> against us, do <6213> thou [it] for thy name's <8034> sake <4616>: for our backslidings <4878> are many <7231>; we have sinned <2398> against thee. 8 O the hope <4723> of Israel <3478>, the saviour <3467> thereof in time <6256> of trouble <6869>, why <4100> shouldest thou be as a stranger <1616> in the land <0776>, and as a wayfaring <0732> man [that] turneth <5186> aside <5186> to tarry <3885> for a night? 9 Why <4100> shouldest thou be as a man <0376> astonied <1724>, as a mighty <1368> man <0376> [that] cannot save <3467>? yet thou, O LORD <3068>, [art] in the midst <7130> of us, and we are called <7121> by thy name <8034>; leave <3241> us not. 10. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto this <2088> people <5971>, Thus <3651> have they loved <0157> to wander <5128>, they have not refrained <2820> their feet <7272>, therefore the LORD <3068> doth not accept <7521> them; he will now <4994> remember <2142> their iniquity <5771>, and visit <6485> their sins <2403>. 11 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Pray <6419> not for this <2088> people <5971> for [their] good <2896>. 12 When <3588> they fast <6684>, I will not hear <8085> their cry <7440>; and when <3588> they offer <5927> burnt <5930> offering and an oblation <4503>, I will not accept <7521> them: but I will consume <3615> them by the sword <2719>, and by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>. 13 Then said <0559> I, Ah <0162>, Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! behold <2009>, the prophets <5030> say <0559> unto them, Ye shall not see <7200> the sword <2719>, neither <3808> shall ye have famine <7458>; but I will give <5414> you assured <0571> peace <7965> in this <2088> place <4725>. 14 Then the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, The prophets <5030> prophesy <5012> lies <8267> in my name <8034>: I sent <7971> them not, neither <3808> have I commanded <6680> them, neither <3808> spake <1696> unto them: they prophesy <5012> unto you a false <8267> vision <2377> and divination <7081>, and a thing of nought <0434>, and the deceit <8649> of their heart <3820>. 15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <5921> the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> in my name <8034>, and I sent <7971> them not, yet they say <0559>, Sword <2719> and famine <7458> shall not be in this <2063> land <0776>; By sword <2719> and famine <7458> shall those <1992> prophets <5030> be consumed <8552>. 16 And the people <5971> to whom they prophesy <5012> shall be cast <7993> out in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389> because <6440> of the famine <7458> and the sword <2719>; and they shall have none <0369> to bury <6912> them, them, their wives <0802>, nor their sons <1121>, nor their daughters <1121>: for I will pour <8210> their wickedness <7451> upon them. 17. Therefore thou shalt say <0559> this <2088> word <1697> unto them; Let mine eyes <5869> run <3381> down with tears <1832> night <3915> and day <3119>, and let them not cease <1820>: for the virgin <1330> daughter <1323> of my people <5971> is broken <7665> with a great <1419> breach <7667>, with a very <3966> grievous <2470> blow <4347>. 18 If <0518> I go <3318> forth <3318> into the field <7704>, then behold <2009> the slain <2491> with the sword <2719>! and if <0518> I enter <0935> into the city <5892>, then behold <2009> them that are sick <8463> with famine <7458>! yea, both <1571> the prophet <5030> and the priest <3548> go <5503> about <5503> into <0413> a land <0776> that they know <3045> not. 19 Hast thou utterly rejected <3988> Judah <3063>? hath thy soul <5315> lothed <1602> Zion <6726>? why <4069> hast thou smitten <5221> us, and [there is] no <0369> healing <4832> for us? we looked <6960> for peace <7965>, and [there is] no <0369> good <2896>; and for the time <6256> of healing <4832>, and behold <2009> trouble <1205>! 20 We acknowledge <3045>, O LORD <3068>, our wickedness <7562>, [and] the iniquity <5771> of our fathers <1>: for we have sinned <2398> against thee. 21 Do not abhor <5006> [us], for thy name's <8034> sake <4616>, do not disgrace <5034> the throne <3678> of thy glory <3519>: remember <2142>, break <6565> not thy covenant <1285> with us. 22 Are there [any] among the vanities <1892> of the Gentiles <1471> that can cause rain <1653>? or can the heavens <8064> give <5414> showers <7241>? [art] not thou he, O LORD <3068> our God <0430>? therefore we will wait <6960> upon thee: for thou hast made <6213> all <3605> these <0428> [things]. Jeremiah 15 1. Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, Though <0518> Moses <4872> and Samuel <8050> stood <5975> before <6440> me, [yet] my mind <5315> [could] not [be] toward <0413> this <2088> people <5971>: cast <7971> [them] out of my sight <6440>, and let them go <3318> forth <3318>. 2 And it shall come <1961> to pass, if <3588> they say <0559> unto thee, Whither <0575> shall we go <3318> forth <3318>? then thou shalt tell <0559> them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Such as [are] for death <4194>, to death <4194>; and such as [are] for the sword <2719>, to the sword <2719>; and such as [are] for the famine <7458>, to the famine <7458>; and such as [are] for the captivity <7628>, to the captivity <7628>. 3 And I will appoint <6485> over <5921> them four <0702> kinds <4940>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: the sword <2719> to slay <2026>, and the dogs <3611> to tear <5498>, and the fowls <5775> of the heaven <8064>, and the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>, to devour <0398> and destroy <7843>. 4 And I will cause <5414> them to be removed <2189> into all <3605> kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>, because <1558> of Manasseh <4519> the son <1121> of Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, for [that] which <0834> he did <6213> in Jerusalem <3389>. 5 For who <4310> shall have pity <2550> upon thee, O Jerusalem <3389>? or who <4310> shall bemoan <5110> thee? or who shall go <5493> aside <5493> to ask <7592> how thou doest <7965>? 6 Thou hast forsaken <5203> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, thou art gone <3212> backward <0268>: therefore will I stretch <5186> out my hand <3027> against <5921> thee, and destroy <7843> thee; I am weary <3811> with repenting <5162>. 7 And I will fan <2219> them with a fan <2219> in the gates <8179> of the land <0776>; I will bereave <7921> [them] of children, I will destroy <6> my people <5971>, [since] they return <7725> not from their ways <1870>. 8 Their widows <0490> are increased <6105> to me above the sand <2344> of the seas <3220>: I have brought <0935> upon them against <5921> the mother <0517> of the young <0970> men a spoiler <7703> at noonday <6672>: I have caused [him] to fall <5307> upon it suddenly <6597>, and terrors <0928> upon the city <5892>. 9 She that hath borne <3205> seven <7651> languisheth <0535>: she hath given <5301> up the ghost <5315>; her sun <8121> is gone <0935> down while [it was] yet <5750> day <3119>: she hath been <1961> ashamed <0954> and confounded <2659>: and the residue <7611> of them will I deliver <5414> to the sword <2719> before <6440> their enemies <0341>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 10. Woe <0188> is me, my mother <0517>, that thou hast borne <3205> me a man <0376> of strife <7379> and a man <0376> of contention <4066> to the whole <3605> earth <0776>! I have neither <3808> lent <5383> on usury <5383>, nor <3808> men have lent <5383> to me on usury <5383>; [yet] every <3605> one of them doth curse <7043> me. 11 The LORD <3068> said <0559>, Verily it shall be well <2896> with thy remnant <8293>; verily <0518> I will cause the enemy <0341> to entreat <6293> thee [well] in the time <6256> of evil <7451> and in the time <6256> of affliction <6869>. 12 Shall iron <1270> break <7489> the northern <6828> iron <1270> and the steel <5178>? 13 Thy substance <2428> and thy treasures <0214> will I give <5414> to the spoil <0957> without price <4242>, and [that] for all <3605> thy sins <2403>, even in all <3605> thy borders <1366>. 14 And I will make [thee] to pass <5674> with thine enemies <0341> into a land <0776> [which] thou knowest <3045> not: for a fire <0784> is kindled <6919> in mine anger <0639>, [which] shall burn <3344> upon you. 15. O LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045>: remember <2142> me, and visit <6485> me, and revenge <5358> me of my persecutors <7291>; take <3947> me not away in thy longsuffering: know <3045> that for thy sake I have suffered <5375> rebuke <2781>. 16 Thy words <1697> were found <4672>, and I did eat <0398> them; and thy word <1697> was unto me the joy <8342> and rejoicing <8057> of mine heart <3824>: for I am called <7121> by thy name <8034>, O LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>. 17 I sat <3427> not in the assembly <5475> of the mockers <7832>, nor rejoiced <5937>; I sat <3427> alone <0909> because <6440> of thy hand <3027>: for thou hast filled <4390> me with indignation <2195>. 18 Why <4100> is my pain <3511> perpetual <5331>, and my wound <4347> incurable <0605>, [which] refuseth <3985> to be healed <7495>? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar <0391>, [and as] waters <4325> [that] fail <0539>? 19 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, If <0518> thou return <7725>, then will I bring <7725> thee again <7725>, [and] thou shalt stand <5975> before <6440> me: and if <0518> thou take <3318> forth <3318> the precious <3368> from the vile <2151>, thou shalt be as my mouth <6310>: let them return <7725> unto thee; but return <7725> not thou unto them. 20 And I will make <5414> thee unto this <2088> people <5971> a fenced <1219> brasen <5178> wall <2346>: and they shall fight <3898> against <0413> thee, but they shall not prevail <3201> against thee: for I [am] with thee to save <3467> thee and to deliver <5337> thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 21 And I will deliver <5337> thee out of the hand <3027> of the wicked <7451>, and I will redeem <6299> thee out of the hand <3709> of the terrible <6184>. Jeremiah 16 1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> also unto me, saying, 2 Thou shalt not take <3947> thee a wife <0802>, neither <3808> shalt thou have sons <1121> or <0176> daughters <1121> in this <2088> place <4725>. 3 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <5921> the sons <1121> and concerning <5921> the daughters <1121> that are born <3205> in this <2088> place <4725>, and concerning <5921> their mothers <0517> that bare <3205> them, and concerning <5921> their fathers <1> that begat <3205> them in this <2088> land <0776>; 4 They shall die <4191> of grievous <8463> deaths <4463>; they shall not be lamented <5594>; neither <3808> shall they be buried <6912>; [but] they shall be as dung <1828> upon the face <6440> of the earth <0127>: and they shall be consumed <3615> by the sword <2719>, and by famine <7458>; and their carcases <5038> shall be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of heaven <8064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>. 5 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Enter <0935> not into the house <1004> of mourning <4798>, neither <3808> go <3212> to lament <5594> nor <3808> bemoan <5110> them: for I have taken <0622> away my peace <7965> from this <2088> people <5971>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [even <0853>] lovingkindness <2617> and mercies <7356>. 6 Both the great <1419> and the small <6996> shall die <4191> in this <2063> land <0776>: they shall not be buried <6912>, neither <3808> shall [men] lament <5594> for them, nor <3808> cut <1413> themselves, nor <3808> make themselves bald <7139> for them: 7 Neither <3808> shall [men] tear <6536> [themselves] for them in mourning <60>, to comfort <5162> them for the dead <4191>; neither <3808> shall [men] give them the cup <3563> of consolation <8575> to drink <8248> for their father <1> or for their mother <0517>. 8 Thou shalt not also go <0935> into the house <1004> of feasting <4960>, to sit <3427> with them to eat <0398> and to drink <8354>. 9 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will cause to cease <7673> out of this <2088> place <4725> in your eyes <5869>, and in your days <3117>, the voice <6963> of mirth <8342>, and the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>. 10. And it shall come <1961> to pass, when <3588> thou shalt shew <5046> this <2088> people <5971> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>, and they shall say <0559> unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD <3068> pronounced <1696> all <3605> this <2063> great <1419> evil <7451> against <5921> us? or what <4100> [is] our iniquity <5771>? or what <4100> [is] our sin <2403> that we have committed <2398> against the LORD <3068> our God <0430>? 11 Then shalt thou say <0559> unto them, Because your fathers <1> have forsaken <5800> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and have walked <3212> after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430>, and have served <5647> them, and have worshipped <7812> them, and have forsaken <5800> me, and have not kept <8104> my law <8451>; 12 And ye have done <6213> worse <7489> than your fathers <1>; for, behold <2009>, ye walk <1980> every <0376> one <0376> after <0310> the imagination <8307> of his evil <7451> heart <3820>, that they may not hearken <8085> unto me: 13 Therefore will I cast <2904> you out of this <2063> land <0776> into <5921> a land <0776> that ye know <3045> not, [neither] ye nor your fathers <1>; and there <8033> shall ye serve <5647> other <0312> gods <0430> day <3119> and night <3915>; where <0834> I will not shew <5414> you favour <2594>. 14. Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that it shall no <3808> more <5750> be said <0559>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, that brought <5927> up the children <1121> of Israel <3478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; 15 But, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, that brought <5927> up the children <1121> of Israel <3478> from the land <0776> of the north <6828>, and from all <3605> the lands <0776> whither he had driven <5080> them: and I will bring <7725> them again <7725> into <5921> their land <0127> that I gave <5414> unto their fathers <1>. 16 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> for many <7227> fishers <1728>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and they shall fish <1770> them; and after <0310> will I send <7971> for many <7227> hunters <6719>, and they shall hunt <6679> them from every <3605> mountain <2022>, and from every <3605> hill <1389>, and out of the holes <5357> of the rocks <5553>. 17 For mine eyes <5869> [are] upon all <3605> their ways <1870>: they are not hid <5641> from my face <6440>, neither <3808> is their iniquity <5771> hid <6845> from mine eyes <5869>. 18 And first <7223> I will recompense <7999> their iniquity <5771> and their sin <2403> double <4932>; because <5921> they have defiled <2490> my land <0776>, they have filled <4390> mine inheritance <5159> with the carcases <5038> of their detestable <8251> and abominable <8441> things. 19 O LORD <3068>, my strength <5797>, and my fortress <4581>, and my refuge <4498> in the day <3117> of affliction <6869>, the Gentiles <1471> shall come <0935> unto thee from the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>, and shall say <0559>, Surely <0389> our fathers <1> have inherited <5157> lies <8267>, vanity <1892>, and [things] wherein [there is] no <0369> profit <3276>. 20 Shall a man <0120> make <6213> gods <0430> unto himself, and they [are] no <3808> gods <0430>? 21 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I will this <2063> once <6471> cause them to know <3045>, I will cause them to know <3045> mine hand <3027> and my might <1369>; and they shall know <3045> that my name <8034> [is] The LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 17 1. The sin <2403> of Judah <3063> [is] written <3789> with a pen <5842> of iron <1270>, [and] with the point <6856> of a diamond <8068>: [it is] graven <2790> upon the table <3871> of their heart <3820>, and upon the horns <7161> of your altars <4196>; 2 Whilst their children <1121> remember <2142> their altars <4196> and their groves <0842> by the green <7488> trees <6086> upon the high <1364> hills <1389>. 3 O my mountain <2042> in the field <7704>, I will give <5414> thy substance <2428> [and] all <3605> thy treasures <0214> to the spoil <0957>, [and] thy high <1116> places for sin <2403>, throughout all <3605> thy borders <1366>. 4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue <8058> from thine heritage <5159> that I gave <5414> thee; and I will cause thee to serve <5647> thine enemies <0341> in the land <0776> which <0834> thou knowest <3045> not: for ye have kindled <6919> a fire <0784> in mine anger <0639>, [which] shall burn <3344> for ever <5769>. 5. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Cursed <0779> [be] the man <1397> that trusteth <0982> in man <0120>, and maketh flesh <1320> his arm <2220>, and whose heart <3820> departeth <5493> from the LORD <3068>. 6 For he shall be like the heath <6176> in the desert <6160>, and shall not see <7200> when <3588> good <2896> cometh <0935>; but shall inhabit <7931> the parched <2788> places in the wilderness <4057>, [in] a salt <4420> land <0776> and not inhabited <3427>. 7 Blessed <1288> [is] the man <1397> that trusteth <0982> in the LORD <3068>, and whose hope <4009> the LORD <3068> is. 8 For he shall be as a tree <6086> planted <8362> by the waters <4325>, and [that] spreadeth <7971> out her roots <8328> by the river <3105>, and shall not see <7200> when <3588> heat <2527> cometh <0935>, but her leaf <5929> shall be green <7488>; and shall not be careful <1672> in the year <8141> of drought <1226>, neither <3808> shall cease <4185> from yielding <6213> fruit <6529>. 9 The heart <3820> [is] deceitful <6121> above all <3605> [things], and desperately <0605> wicked <0605>: who <4310> can know <3045> it? 10 I the LORD <3068> search <2713> the heart <3820>, [I] try <0974> the reins <3629>, even to give <5414> every man <0376> according to his ways <1870>, [and] according to the fruit <6529> of his doings <4611>. 11 [As] the partridge <7124> sitteth <1716> [on eggs], and hatcheth <3205> [them] not; [so] he that getteth <6213> riches <6239>, and not by right <4941>, shall leave <5800> them in the midst <2677> of his days <3117>, and at his end <0319> shall be a fool <5036>. 12. A glorious <3519> high <4791> throne <3678> from the beginning <7223> [is] the place <4725> of our sanctuary <4720>. 13 O LORD <3068>, the hope <4723> of Israel <3478>, all <3605> that forsake <5800> thee shall be ashamed <0954>, [and] they that depart <3249> from me shall be written <3789> in the earth <0776>, because <3588> they have forsaken <5800> the LORD <3068>, the fountain <4726> of living <2416> waters <4325>. 14 Heal <7495> me, O LORD <3068>, and I shall be healed <7495>; save <3467> me, and I shall be saved <3467>: for thou [art] my praise <8416>. 15 Behold <2009>, they say <0559> unto me, Where <0346> [is] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>? let it come <0935> now <4994>. 16 As for me, I have not hastened <0213> from [being] a pastor <7462> to follow <0310> thee: neither <3808> have I desired <0183> the woeful <0605> day <3117>; thou knowest <3045>: that which came <4161> out of my lips <8193> was [right <5227>] before <5227> thee. 17 Be not a terror <4288> unto me: thou [art] my hope <4268> in the day <3117> of evil <7451>. 18 Let them be confounded <0954> that persecute <7291> me, but let not me be confounded <0954>: let them be dismayed <2865>, but let not me be dismayed <2865>: bring <0935> upon them the day <3117> of evil <7451>, and destroy <7665> them with double <4932> destruction <7670>. 19. Thus <3541> said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me; Go <1980> and stand <5975> in the gate <8179> of the children <1121> of the people <5971>, whereby <0834> the kings <4428> of Judah <3063> come <0935> in, and by the which <0834> they go <3318> out, and in all <3605> the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>; 20 And say <0559> unto them, Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, ye kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and all <3605> Judah <3063>, and all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, that enter <0935> in by these <0428> gates <8179>: 21 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Take heed <8104> to yourselves <5315>, and bear <5375> no <0408> burden <4853> on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, nor bring <0935> [it] in by the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>; 22 Neither <3808> carry <3318> forth <3318> a burden <4853> out of your houses <1004> on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, neither <3808> do <6213> ye any <3605> work <4399>, but hallow <6942> ye the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, as I commanded <6680> your fathers <1>. 23 But they obeyed <8085> not, neither <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241>, but made their neck <6202> stiff <7185>, that they might not hear <8085>, nor <1115> receive <3947> instruction <4148>. 24 And it shall come <1961> to pass, if <0518> ye diligently hearken <8085> unto me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, to bring <0935> in no <1115> burden <4853> through the gates <8179> of this <2063> city <5892> on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, but hallow <6942> the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, to do <6213> no <1115> work <4399> therein; 25 Then shall there enter <0935> into the gates <8179> of this <2063> city <5892> kings <4428> and princes <8269> sitting <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, riding <7392> in chariots <7393> and on horses <5483>, they, and their princes <8269>, the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>: and this <2088> city <5892> shall remain <3427> for ever <5769>. 26 And they shall come <0935> from the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and from the places <5439> about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>, and from the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>, and from the plain <8219>, and from the mountains <2022>, and from the south <5045>, bringing <0935> burnt <5930> offerings, and sacrifices <2077>, and meat offerings <4503>, and incense <3828>, and bringing <0935> sacrifices of praise <8426>, unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 27 But if <0518> ye will not hearken <8085> unto me to hallow <6942> the sabbath <7676> day <3117>, and not to bear <5375> a burden <4853>, even entering <0935> in at the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389> on the sabbath <7676> day <3117>; then will I kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the gates <8179> thereof, and it shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of Jerusalem <3389>, and it shall not be quenched <3518>. Jeremiah 18 1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Arise <6965>, and go <3381> down <3381> to the potter's <3335> house <1004>, and there <8033> I will cause thee to hear <8085> my words <1697>. 3 Then I went <3381> down <3381> to the potter's <3335> house <1004>, and, behold <2009>, he wrought <6213> a work <4399> on <5921> the wheels <70>. 4 And the vessel <3627> that he made <6213> of clay <2563> was marred <7843> in the hand <3027> of the potter <3335>: so he made <6213> it again <7725> another <0312> vessel <3627>, as seemed <5869> good <3474> to the potter <3335> to make <6213> [it]. 5 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to me, saying <0559>, 6 O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, cannot I do <6213> with you as this <2088> potter <3335>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Behold <2009>, as the clay <2563> [is] in the potter's <3335> hand <3027>, so <3651> [are] ye in mine hand <3027>, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>. 7 [At what] instant <7281> I shall speak <1696> concerning <5921> a nation <1471>, and concerning <5921> a kingdom <4467>, to pluck <5428> up, and to pull <5422> down, and to destroy <6> [it]; 8 If that nation <1471>, against <5921> whom <0834> I have pronounced <1696>, turn <7725> from their evil <7451>, I will repent <5162> of the evil <7451> that I thought <2803> to do <6213> unto them. 9 And [at what] instant <7281> I shall speak <1696> concerning <5921> a nation <1471>, and concerning <5921> a kingdom <4467>, to build <1129> and to plant <5193> [it]; 10 If it do <6213> evil <7451> in my sight <5869>, that it obey <8085> not my voice <6963>, then I will repent <5162> of the good <2896>, wherewith <0834> I said <0559> I would benefit <3190> them. 11. Now <6258> therefore go <4994> to, speak <0559> to the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and to the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>, I frame <3335> evil <7451> against <5921> you, and devise <2803> a device <4284> against <5921> you: return <7725> ye now <4994> every <0376> one <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, and make your ways <1870> and your doings <4611> good <3190>. 12 And they said <0559>, There is no hope <2976>: but we will walk <1980> after <0310> our own devices <4284>, and we will every <0376> one <0376> do <6213> the imagination <8307> of his evil <7451> heart <3820>. 13 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Ask <7592> ye now <4994> among the heathen <1471>, who <4310> hath heard <8085> such <0428> things: the virgin <1330> of Israel <3478> hath done <6213> a very <3966> horrible <8186> thing. 14 Will [a man] leave <5800> the snow <7950> of Lebanon <3844> [which cometh] from the rock <6697> of the field <7704>? [or] shall the cold <7119> flowing <5140> waters <4325> that come from another <2114> place be forsaken <5428>? 15 Because <3588> my people <5971> hath forgotten <7911> me, they have burned <6999> incense <6999> to vanity <7723>, and they have caused them to stumble <3782> in their ways <1870> [from] the ancient <5769> paths <7635>, to walk <1980> in paths <5410>, [in] a way <1870> not cast <5549> up; 16 To make <7760> their land <0776> desolate <8047>, [and] a perpetual <5769> hissing <8292>; every <3605> one that passeth <5674> thereby <5921> shall be astonished <8074>, and wag <5110> his head <7218>. 17 I will scatter <6327> them as with an east <6921> wind <7307> before <6440> the enemy <0341>; I will shew <7200> them the back <6203>, and not the face <6440>, in the day <3117> of their calamity <0343>. 18. Then said <0559> they, Come <3212>, and let us devise <2803> devices <4284> against <5921> Jeremiah <3414>; for the law <8451> shall not perish <6> from the priest <3548>, nor counsel <6098> from the wise <2450>, nor the word <1697> from the prophet <5030>. Come <3212>, and let us smite <5221> him with the tongue <3956>, and let us not give heed <7181> to any <3605> of his words <1697>. 19 Give heed <7181> to me, O LORD <3068>, and hearken <8085> to the voice <6963> of them that contend <3401> with me. 20 Shall evil <7451> be recompensed <7999> for good <2896>? for they have digged <3738> a pit <7745> for my soul <5315>. Remember <2142> that I stood <5975> before <6440> thee to speak <1696> good <2896> for them, [and] to turn <7725> away thy wrath <2534> from them. 21 Therefore <3651> deliver <5414> up their children <1121> to the famine <7458>, and pour <5064> out their [blood] by the force <3027> of the sword <2719>; and let their wives <0802> be bereaved <7909> of their children, and [be] widows <0490>; and let their men <0582> be put <2026> to death <4194>; [let] their young <0970> men [be] slain <5221> by the sword <2719> in battle <4421>. 22 Let a cry <2201> be heard <8085> from their houses <1004>, when <3588> thou shalt bring <0935> a troop <1416> suddenly <6597> upon them: for they have digged <3738> a pit to take <3920> me, and hid <2934> snares <6341> for my feet <7272>. 23 Yet, LORD <3068>, thou knowest <3045> all <3605> their counsel <6098> against <5921> me to slay <1194> [me]: forgive <3722> not their iniquity <5771>, neither <0408> blot <4229> out their sin <2403> from thy sight <6440>, but let them be overthrown <3782> before <6440> thee; deal <6213> [thus] with them in the time <6256> of thine anger <0639>. Jeremiah 19 1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Go <1980> and get <7069> a potter's <3335> earthen <2789> bottle <1228>, and [take] of the ancients <2204> of the people <5971>, and of the ancients <2204> of the priests <3548>; 2 And go <3318> forth <3318> unto the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, which <0834> [is] by the entry <6607> of the east <2777> gate <8179>, and proclaim <7121> there <8033> the words <1697> that I shall tell <1696> thee, 3 And say <0559>, Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon this <2088> place <4725>, the which <0834> whosoever <3605> heareth <8085>, his ears <0241> shall tingle <6750>. 4 Because they have forsaken <5800> me, and have estranged <5234> this <2088> place <4725>, and have burned <6999> incense <6999> in it unto other <0312> gods <0430>, whom <0834> neither <3808> they nor their fathers <1> have known <3045>, nor the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and have filled <4390> this <2088> place <4725> with the blood <1818> of innocents <5355>; 5 They have built <1129> also the high <1116> places of Baal <1168>, to burn <8313> their sons <1121> with fire <0784> [for] burnt <5930> offerings unto Baal <1168>, which <0834> I commanded <6680> not, nor <3808> spake <1696> [it], neither <3808> came <5927> [it] into <5921> my mind <3820>: 6 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that this <2088> place <4725> shall no <3808> more <5750> be called <7121> Tophet <8612>, nor The valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, but The valley <1516> of slaughter <2028>. 7 And I will make void <1238> the counsel <6098> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389> in this <2088> place <4725>; and I will cause them to fall <5307> by the sword <2719> before <6440> their enemies <0341>, and by the hands <3027> of them that seek <1245> their lives <5315>: and their carcases <5038> will I give <5414> to be meat <3978> for the fowls <5775> of the heaven <8064>, and for the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>. 8 And I will make <7760> this <2063> city <5892> desolate <8047>, and an hissing <8322>; every <3605> one that passeth <5674> thereby <5921> shall be astonished <8074> and hiss <8319> because <5921> of all <3605> the plagues <4347> thereof. 9 And I will cause them to eat <0398> the flesh <1320> of their sons <1121> and the flesh <1320> of their daughters <1121>, and they shall eat <0398> every <0376> one <0376> the flesh <1320> of his friend <7453> in the siege <4692> and straitness <4689>, wherewith <0834> their enemies <0341>, and they that seek <1245> their lives <5315>, shall straiten <6693> them. 10. Then shalt thou break <7665> the bottle <1228> in the sight <5869> of the men <0582> that go <1980> with thee, 11 And shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Even <3602> so <3602> will I break <7665> this <2088> people <5971> and this <2063> city <5892>, as [one] breaketh <7665> a potter's <3335> vessel <3627>, that cannot be made <7495> whole <7495> again <5750>: and they shall bury <6912> [them] in Tophet <8612>, till [there be] no <0369> place <4725> to bury <6912>. 12 Thus <3651> will I do <6213> unto this <2088> place <4725>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and to the inhabitants <3427> thereof, and [even] make <5414> this <2063> city <5892> as Tophet <8612>: 13 And the houses <1004> of Jerusalem <3389>, and the houses <1004> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, shall be defiled <2931> as the place <4725> of Tophet <8612>, because <3605> of all <3605> the houses <1004> upon whose <0834> roofs <1406> they have burned <6999> incense <6999> unto all <3605> the host <6635> of heaven <8064>, and have poured <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto other <0312> gods <0430>. 14 Then came <0935> Jeremiah <3414> from Tophet <8612>, whither <0834> the LORD <3068> had sent <7971> him to prophesy <5012>; and he stood <5975> in the court <2691> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>; and said <0559> to all <3605> the people <5971>, 15 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> upon this city <5892> and upon all <3605> her towns <5892> all <3605> the evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1696> against <5921> it, because <3588> they have hardened <7185> their necks <6203>, that they might not hear <8085> my words <1697>. Jeremiah 20 1. Now Pashur <6583> the son <1121> of Immer <0564> the priest <3548>, who <1931> [was] also chief <5051> governor <5057> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, heard <8085> that Jeremiah <3414> prophesied <5012> these <0428> things <1697>. 2 Then Pashur <6583> smote <5221> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, and put <5414> him in the stocks <4115> that [were] in the high <5945> gate <8179> of Benjamin <1144>, which <0834> [was] by the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 3 And it came <1961> to pass on the morrow <4283>, that Pashur <6583> brought <3318> forth <3318> Jeremiah <3414> out of the stocks <4115>. Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto him, The LORD <3068> hath not called <7121> thy name <8034> Pashur <6583>, but Magormissabib <4036>. 4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will make <5414> thee a terror <4320> to thyself, and to all <3605> thy friends <0157>: and they shall fall <5307> by the sword <2719> of their enemies <0341>, and thine eyes <5869> shall behold <7200> [it]: and I will give <5414> all <3605> Judah <3063> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall carry <1540> them captive <1540> into Babylon <0894>, and shall slay <5221> them with the sword <2719>. 5 Moreover I will deliver <5414> all <3605> the strength <2633> of this <2063> city <5892>, and all <3605> the labours <3018> thereof, and all <3605> the precious <3366> things thereof, and all <3605> the treasures <0214> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063> will I give <5414> into the hand <3027> of their enemies <0341>, which shall spoil <0962> them, and take <3947> them, and carry <0935> them to Babylon <0894>. 6 And thou, Pashur <6583>, and all <3605> that dwell <3427> in thine house <1004> shall go <3212> into captivity <7628>: and thou shalt come <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and there <8033> thou shalt die <4191>, and shalt be buried <6912> there <8033>, thou, and all <3605> thy friends <0157>, to whom thou hast prophesied <5012> lies <8267>. 7. O LORD <3068>, thou hast deceived <6601> me, and I was deceived <6601>: thou art stronger <2388> than I, and hast prevailed <3201>: I am in derision <7814> daily, every <3605> one mocketh <3932> me. 8 For since <1767> I spake <1696>, I cried <2199> out, I cried <7121> violence <2555> and spoil <7701>; because <3588> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> was made <1961> a reproach <2781> unto me, and a derision <7047>, daily. 9 Then I said <0559>, I will not make mention <2142> of him, nor <3808> speak <1696> any more <5750> in his name <8034>. But [his word] was in mine heart <3820> as a burning <1197> fire <0784> shut <6113> up in my bones <6106>, and I was weary <3811> with forbearing <3557>, and I could <3201> not [stay]. 10 For I heard <8085> the defaming <1681> of many <7227>, fear <4032> on every <5437> side <5439>. Report <5046>, [say they], and we will report <5046> it. All <3605> my familiars <7965> watched <8104> for my halting <6761>, [saying], Peradventure <0194> he will be enticed <6601>, and we shall prevail <3201> against him, and we shall take <3947> our revenge <5360> on him. 11 But the LORD <3068> [is] with me as a mighty <1368> terrible <6184> one: therefore my persecutors <7291> shall stumble <3782>, and they shall not prevail <3201>: they shall be greatly <3966> ashamed <0954>; for they shall not prosper <7919>: [their] everlasting <5769> confusion <3639> shall never be forgotten <7911>. 12 But, O LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that triest <0974> the righteous <6662>, [and] seest <7200> the reins <3629> and the heart <3820>, let me see <7200> thy vengeance <5360> on them: for unto thee have I opened <1540> my cause <7379>. 13 Sing <7891> unto the LORD <3068>, praise <1984> ye the LORD <3068>: for he hath delivered <5337> the soul <5315> of the poor <34> from the hand <3027> of evildoers <7489>. 14. Cursed <0779> [be] the day <3117> wherein <0834> I was born <3205>: let not the day <3117> wherein <0834> my mother <0517> bare <3205> me be blessed <1288>. 15 Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> who <0834> brought <1319> tidings <1319> to my father <1>, saying <0559>, A man <2145> child <1121> is born <3205> unto thee; making him very glad <8056>. 16 And let that man <0376> be as the cities <5892> which <0834> the LORD <3068> overthrew <2015>, and repented <5162> not: and let him hear <8085> the cry <2201> in the morning <1242>, and the shouting <8643> at noontide; 17 Because <0834> he slew <4191> me not from the womb <7358>; or that my mother <0517> might have been <1961> my grave <6913>, and her womb <7358> [to be] always <5769> great <2030> [with me]. 18 Wherefore <4100> came <3318> I forth <3318> out of the womb <7358> to see <7200> labour <5999> and sorrow <3015>, that my days <3117> should be consumed <3615> with shame <1322>? Jeremiah 21 1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, when king <4428> Zedekiah <6667> sent <7971> unto him Pashur <6583> the son <1121> of Melchiah <4441>, and Zephaniah <6846> the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641> the priest <3548>, saying <0559>, 2 Enquire <1875>, I pray <4994> thee, of the LORD <3068> for us; for Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> maketh war <3898> against <5921> us; if <0194> so be that the LORD <3068> will deal <6213> with us according to all <3605> his wondrous <6381> works, that he may go <5927> up from us. 3 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto them, Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> to Zedekiah <6667>: 4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will turn <5437> back <5437> the weapons <3627> of war <4421> that [are] in your hands <3027>, wherewith <0834> ye fight <3898> against the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and [against] the Chaldeans <3778>, which besiege <6696> you without <2351> the walls <2346>, and I will assemble <0622> them into <0413> the midst <8432> of this <2063> city <5892>. 5 And I myself <0589> will fight <3898> against you with an outstretched <5186> hand <3027> and with a strong <2389> arm <2220>, even in anger <0639>, and in fury <2534>, and in great <1419> wrath <7110>. 6 And I will smite <5221> the inhabitants <3427> of this <2063> city <5892>, both man <0120> and beast <0929>: they shall die <4191> of a great <1419> pestilence <1698>. 7 And afterward, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will deliver <5414> Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and his servants <5650>, and the people <5971>, and such as are left <7604> in this <2063> city <5892> from the pestilence <1698>, from the sword <2719>, and from the famine <7458>, into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <3027> of their enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of those that seek <1245> their life <5315>: and he shall smite <5221> them with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>; he shall not spare <2347> them, neither <3808> have pity <2550>, nor <3808> have mercy <7355>. 8. And unto this <2088> people <5971> thou shalt say <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I set <5414> before <6440> you the way <1870> of life <2416>, and the way <1870> of death <4194>. 9 He that abideth <3427> in this <2063> city <5892> shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>, and by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>: but he that goeth <3318> out, and falleth <5307> to the Chaldeans <3778> that besiege <6696> you, he shall live <2421>, and his life <5315> shall be unto him for a prey <7998>. 10 For I have set <7760> my face <6440> against this <2063> city <5892> for evil <7451>, and not for good <2896>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: it shall be given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall burn <8313> it with fire <0784>. 11 And touching the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [say], Hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>; 12 O house <1004> of David <1732>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Execute <1777> judgment <4941> in the morning <1242>, and deliver <5337> [him that is] spoiled <1497> out of the hand <3027> of the oppressor <6231>, lest <6435> my fury <2534> go <3318> out like fire <0784>, and burn <1197> that none <0369> can quench <3518> [it], because <6440> of the evil <7455> of your doings <4611>. 13 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O inhabitant <3427> of the valley <6010>, [and] rock <6697> of the plain <4334>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; which say <0559>, Who <4310> shall come <5181> down <5181> against <5921> us? or who <4310> shall enter <0935> into our habitations <4585>? 14 But I will punish <6485> you according to the fruit <6529> of your doings <4611>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: and I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the forest <3293> thereof, and it shall devour <0398> all <3605> things round <5439> about it. Jeremiah 22 1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Go <3381> down <3381> to the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and speak <1696> there <8033> this <2088> word <1697>, 2 And say <0559>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O king <4428> of Judah <3063>, that sittest <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, thou, and thy servants <5650>, and thy people <5971> that enter <0935> in by these <0428> gates <8179>: 3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Execute <6213> ye judgment <4941> and righteousness <6666>, and deliver <5337> the spoiled <1497> out of the hand <3027> of the oppressor <6216>: and do no <0408> wrong <3238>, do no <0408> violence <2554> to the stranger <1616>, the fatherless <3490>, nor the widow <0490>, neither <0408> shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818> in this <2088> place <4725>. 4 For if <0518> ye do <6213> this <2088> thing <1697> indeed, then shall there enter <0935> in by the gates <8179> of this <2088> house <1004> kings <4428> sitting <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, riding <7392> in chariots <7393> and on horses <5483>, he, and his servants <5650>, and his people <5971>. 5 But if <0518> ye will not hear <8085> these <0428> words <1697>, I swear <7650> by myself, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that this <2088> house <1004> shall become <1961> a desolation <2723>. 6 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto the king's <4428> house <1004> of Judah <3063>; Thou [art] Gilead <1568> unto me, [and] the head <7218> of Lebanon <3844>: [yet] surely I will make <7896> thee a wilderness <4057>, [and] cities <5892> [which] are not inhabited <3427>. 7 And I will prepare <6942> destroyers <7843> against <5921> thee, every <0376> one <0376> with his weapons <3627>: and they shall cut <3772> down thy choice <4005> cedars <0730>, and cast [them] into <5921> the fire <0784>. 8 And many <7227> nations <1471> shall pass <5674> by this <2063> city <5892>, and they shall say <0559> every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>, Wherefore hath the LORD <3068> done <6213> thus <3602> unto this <2063> great <1419> city <5892>? 9 Then they shall answer <0559>, Because they have forsaken <5800> the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and worshipped <7812> other <0312> gods <0430>, and served <5647> them. 10. Weep <1058> ye not for the dead <4191>, neither <0408> bemoan <5110> him: [but] weep <1058> sore for him that goeth <1980> away: for he shall return <7725> no <3808> more <5750>, nor see <7200> his native <4138> country <0776>. 11 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> touching <0413> Shallum <7967> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, which reigned <4427> instead <8478> of Josiah <2977> his father <1>, which <0834> went <3318> forth <3318> out of this <2088> place <4725>; He shall not return <7725> thither <8033> any more <5750>: 12 But he shall die <4191> in the place <4725> whither they have led him captive <1540>, and shall see <7200> this <2063> land <0776> no <3808> more <5750>. 13 Woe <1945> unto him that buildeth <1129> his house <1004> by unrighteousness, and his chambers <5944> by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's <7453> service <5647> without <2600> wages <2600>, and giveth <5414> him not for his work <6467>; 14 That saith <0559>, I will build <1129> me a wide <4060> house <1004> and large <7304> chambers <5944>, and cutteth <7167> him out windows <2474>; and [it is] cieled <5603> with cedar <0730>, and painted <4886> with vermilion <8350>. 15 Shalt thou reign <4427>, because <3588> thou closest <8474> [thyself] in cedar <0730>? did not thy father <1> eat <0398> and drink <8354>, and do <6213> judgment <4941> and justice <6666>, [and] then <0227> [it was] well <2896> with him? 16 He judged <1777> the cause <1779> of the poor <6041> and needy <34>; then <0227> [it was] well <2896> [with him: was] not this <1931> to know <1847> me? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 17 But thine eyes <5869> and thine heart <3820> [are] not but for thy covetousness <1215>, and for to shed <8210> innocent <5355> blood <1818>, and for oppression <6233>, and for violence <4835>, to do <6213> [it]. 18 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <0413> Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; They shall not lament <5594> for him, [saying], Ah <1945> my brother <0251>! or, Ah <1945> sister <0269>! they shall not lament <5594> for him, [saying], Ah <1945> lord <0113>! or, Ah <1945> his glory <1935>! 19 He shall be buried <6912> with the burial <6900> of an ass <2543>, drawn <5498> and cast <7993> forth beyond <1973> the gates <8179> of Jerusalem <3389>. 20. Go <5927> up to Lebanon <3844>, and cry <6817>; and lift <5414> up thy voice <6963> in Bashan <1316>, and cry <6817> from the passages <5676>: for all <3605> thy lovers <0157> are destroyed <7665>. 21 I spake <1696> unto thee in thy prosperity <7962>; [but] thou saidst <0559>, I will not hear <8085>. This <2088> [hath been] thy manner <1870> from thy youth <5271>, that thou obeyedst <8085> not my voice <6963>. 22 The wind <7307> shall eat <7462> up all <3605> thy pastors <7462>, and thy lovers <0157> shall go <3212> into captivity <7628>: surely <3588> then <0227> shalt thou be ashamed <0954> and confounded <3637> for all <3605> thy wickedness <7451>. 23 O inhabitant <3427> of Lebanon <3844>, that makest thy nest <7077> in the cedars <0730>, how <4100> gracious <2603> shalt thou be when pangs <2256> come <0935> upon thee, the pain <2427> as of a woman in travail <3205>! 24 [As] I live <2416>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, though <0518> Coniah <3659> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063> were the signet <2368> upon my right <3225> hand <3027>, yet <3588> would I pluck <5423> thee thence <8033>; 25 And I will give <5414> thee into the hand <3027> of them that seek <1245> thy life <5315>, and into the hand <3027> [of them] whose face <6440> thou fearest <1481>, even into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>. 26 And I will cast <2904> thee out, and thy mother <0517> that bare <3205> thee, into <5921> another <0312> country <0776>, where ye were not born <3205>; and there <8033> shall ye die <4191>. 27 But to the land <0776> whereunto <0834> they desire to return <7725>, thither <8033> shall they not return <7725>. 28 [Is] this <2088> man <0376> Coniah <3659> a despised <0959> broken <5310> idol <6089>? [is he] a vessel <3627> wherein [is] no <0363> pleasure <2656>? wherefore <4069> are they cast <7993> out, he and his seed <2233>, and are cast <2904> into <5921> a land <0776> which <0834> they know <3045> not? 29 O earth <0776>, earth <0776>, earth <0776>, hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 30 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Write <3789> ye this <2088> man <0376> childless <6185>, a man <1397> [that] shall not prosper <6743> in his days <3117>: for no <3808> man <0376> of his seed <2233> shall prosper <6743>, sitting <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, and ruling <4910> any more <5750> in Judah <3063>. Jeremiah 23 1. Woe <1945> be unto the pastors <7462> that destroy <6> and scatter <6327> the sheep <6629> of my pasture <4830>! saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 2 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> against <5921> the pastors <7462> that feed <7462> my people <5971>; Ye have scattered <6327> my flock <6629>, and driven <5080> them away, and have not visited <6485> them: behold <2005>, I will visit <6485> upon you the evil <7455> of your doings <4611>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 3 And I will gather <6908> the remnant <7611> of my flock <6629> out of all <3605> countries <0776> whither I have driven <5080> them, and will bring <7725> them again <7725> to their folds <5116>; and they shall be fruitful <6509> and increase <7235>. 4 And I will set <6965> up shepherds <7462> over <5921> them which shall feed <7462> them: and they shall fear <3372> no <3808> more <5750>, nor <3808> be dismayed <2865>, neither <3808> shall they be lacking <6485>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 5 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will raise <6965> unto David <1732> a righteous <6662> Branch <6780>, and a King <4428> shall reign <4427> and prosper <7919>, and shall execute <6213> judgment <4941> and justice <6666> in the earth <0776>. 6 In his days <3117> Judah <3063> shall be saved <3467>, and Israel <3478> shall dwell <7931> safely <0983>: and this <2088> [is] his name <8034> whereby <0834> he shall be called <7121>, THE LORD <3068> OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS <6664>. 7 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that they shall no <3808> more <5750> say <0559>, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, which <0834> brought <5927> up the children <1121> of Israel <3478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; 8 But, The LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, which <0834> brought <5927> up and which <0834> led <0935> the seed <2233> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478> out of the north <6828> country <0776>, and from all <3605> countries <0776> whither I had driven <5080> them; and they shall dwell <3427> in their own land <0127>. 9. Mine heart <3820> within <7130> me is broken <7665> because of the prophets <5030>; all <3605> my bones <6106> shake <7363>; I am like a drunken <7910> man <0376>, and like a man <1397> whom wine <3196> hath overcome <5674>, because <6440> of the LORD <3068>, and because <3588> of the words <1697> of his holiness <6944>. 10 For the land <0776> is full <4390> of adulterers <5003>; for because <6440> of swearing <0423> the land <0776> mourneth <56>; the pleasant <4999> places of the wilderness <4057> are dried <3001> up, and their course <4794> is evil <7451>, and their force <1369> [is] not right. 11 For both <1571> prophet <5030> and priest <3548> are profane <2610>; yea <1571>, in my house <1004> have I found <4672> their wickedness <7451>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 12 Wherefore <3651> their way <1870> shall be unto them as slippery <2519> [ways] in the darkness <0653>: they shall be driven <1760> on, and fall <5307> therein: for I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon them, [even] the year <8141> of their visitation <6486>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 13 And I have seen <7200> folly <8604> in the prophets <5030> of Samaria <8111>; they prophesied <5012> in Baal <1168>, and caused my people <5971> Israel <3478> to err <8582>. 14 I have seen <7200> also in the prophets <5030> of Jerusalem <3389> an horrible <8186> thing: they commit <5003> adultery <5003>, and walk <1980> in lies <8267>: they strengthen <2388> also the hands <3027> of evildoers <7489>, that none <1115> doth return <7725> from his wickedness <7451>: they are all <3605> of them unto me as Sodom <5467>, and the inhabitants <3427> thereof as Gomorrah <6017>. 15 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> concerning <5921> the prophets <5030>; Behold <2005>, I will feed <0398> them with wormwood <3939>, and make them drink <8248> the water <4325> of gall <7219>: for from the prophets <5030> of Jerusalem <3389> is profaneness <2613> gone <3318> forth <3318> into all <3605> the land <0776>. 16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Hearken <8085> not unto the words <1697> of the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> unto you: they make you vain <1891>: they speak <1696> a vision <2377> of their own heart <3820>, [and] not out of the mouth <6310> of the LORD <3068>. 17 They say <0559> still unto them that despise <5006> me, The LORD <3068> hath said <1696>, Ye shall have <1961> peace <7965>; and they say <0559> unto every <3605> one that walketh <1980> after the imagination <8307> of his own heart <3820>, No <3808> evil <7451> shall come <0935> upon you. 18 For who <4310> hath stood <5975> in the counsel <5475> of the LORD <3068>, and hath perceived <7200> and heard <8085> his word <1697>? who <4310> hath marked <7181> his word <1697>, and heard <8085> [it]? 19 Behold <2009>, a whirlwind <5591> of the LORD <3068> is gone <3318> forth <3318> in fury <2534>, even a grievous <2342> whirlwind <5591>: it shall fall <2342> grievously <2342> upon the head <7218> of the wicked <7563>. 20 The anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> shall not return <7725>, until <5704> he have executed <6213>, and till <5704> he have performed <6965> the thoughts <4209> of his heart <3820>: in the latter <0319> days <3117> ye shall consider <0995> it perfectly <0998>. 21 I have not sent <7971> these prophets <5030>, yet they ran <7323>: I have not spoken <1696> to them, yet they prophesied <5012>. 22 But if they had stood <5975> in my counsel <5475>, and had caused my people <5971> to hear <8085> my words <1697>, then they should have turned <7725> them from their evil <7451> way <1870>, and from the evil <7455> of their doings <4611>. 23 [Am] I a God <0430> at hand <7138>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and not a God <0430> afar <7350> off? 24 Can any <0376> hide <5641> himself in secret <4565> places that I shall not see <7200> him? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Do not I fill <4390> heaven <8064> and earth <0776>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 25 I have heard <8085> what the prophets <5030> said <0559>, that prophesy <5012> lies <8267> in my name <8034>, saying <0559>, I have dreamed <2492>, I have dreamed <2492>. 26 How <5704> long <5704> shall [this] be in the heart <3820> of the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> lies <8267>? yea, [they are] prophets <5030> of the deceit <8649> of their own heart <3820>; 27 Which think <2803> to cause my people <5971> to forget <7911> my name <8034> by their dreams <2472> which <0834> they tell <5608> every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>, as their fathers <1> have forgotten <7911> my name <8034> for Baal <1168>. 28 The prophet <5030> that hath a dream <2472>, let him tell <5608> a dream <2472>; and he that hath my word <1697>, let him speak <1696> my word <1697> faithfully <0571>. What <4100> [is] the chaff <8401> to the wheat <1250>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 29 [Is] not my word <1697> like <3541> as a fire <0784>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and like a hammer <6360> [that] breaketh <6327> the rock <5553> in pieces? 30 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> the prophets <5030>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that steal <1589> my words <1697> every <0376> one <0376> from his neighbour <7453>. 31 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> the prophets <5030>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that use <3747> their tongues <3956>, and say, He saith <5002>. 32 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <5921> them that prophesy <5012> false <8267> dreams <2472>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and do <6213> tell <5608> them, and cause my people <5971> to err <8582> by their lies <8267>, and by their lightness <6350>; yet I sent <7971> them not, nor <3808> commanded <6680> them: therefore they shall not profit <3276> this <2088> people <5971> at all, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 33. And when <3588> this <2088> people <5971>, or <0176> the prophet <5030>, or <0176> a priest <3548>, shall ask <7592> thee, saying <0559>, What <4100> [is] the burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>? thou shalt then say <0559> unto them, What <4100> burden <4853>? I will even forsake <5203> you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 34 And [as for] the prophet <5030>, and the priest <3548>, and the people <5971>, that shall say <0559>, The burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>, I will even punish <6485> that man <0376> and his house <1004>. 35 Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> every <0376> one <0376> to his neighbour <7453>, and every <0376> one <0376> to his brother <0251>, What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> answered <6030>? and, What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> spoken <1696>? 36 And the burden <4853> of the LORD <3068> shall ye mention <2142> no <3808> more <5750>: for every man's <0376> word <1697> shall be his burden <4853>; for ye have perverted <2015> the words <1697> of the living <2416> God <0430>, of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> our God <0430>. 37 Thus <3541> shalt thou say <0559> to the prophet <5030>, What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> answered <6030> thee? and, What <4100> hath the LORD <3068> spoken <1696>? 38 But since <0518> ye say <0559>, The burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>; therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Because <3282> ye say <0559> this <2088> word <1697>, The burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>, and I have sent <7971> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye shall not say <0559>, The burden <4853> of the LORD <3068>; 39 Therefore <3651>, behold <2005>, I, even I, will utterly forget <5382> you, and I will forsake <5203> you, and the city <5892> that I gave <5414> you and your fathers <1>, [and cast you] out of my presence <6440>: 40 And I will bring <5414> an everlasting <5769> reproach <2781> upon you, and a perpetual <5769> shame <3640>, which <0834> shall not be forgotten <7911>. Jeremiah 24 1. The LORD <3068> shewed <7200> me, and, behold <2009>, two <8147> baskets <1736> of figs <8384> [were] set <3259> before <6440> the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, after <0310> that Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> had carried <1540> away captive <1540> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and the princes <8269> of Judah <3063>, with the carpenters <2796> and smiths <4525>, from Jerusalem <3389>, and had brought <0935> them to Babylon <0894>. 2 One <0259> basket <1731> [had] very <3966> good <2896> figs <8384>, [even] like the figs <8384> [that are] first <1073> ripe: and the other <0259> basket <1731> [had] very <3966> naughty <7451> figs <8384>, which <0834> could not be eaten <0398>, they were so bad <7451>. 3 Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, What <4100> seest <7200> thou, Jeremiah <3414>? And I said <0559>, Figs <8384>; the good <2896> figs <8384>, very <3966> good <2896>; and the evil <7451>, very <3966> evil <7451>, that cannot <3808> be eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>. 4 Again the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>, 5 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Like these <0428> good <2896> figs <8384>, so <3651> will I acknowledge <5234> them that are carried <1546> away captive <1546> of Judah <3063>, whom <0834> I have sent <7971> out of this <2088> place <4725> into the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778> for [their] good <2896>. 6 For I will set <7760> mine eyes <5869> upon them for good <2896>, and I will bring <7725> them again <7725> to this <2063> land <0776>: and I will build <1129> them, and not pull <2040> [them] down; and I will plant <5193> them, and not pluck <5428> [them] up. 7 And I will give <5414> them an heart <3820> to know <3045> me, that I [am] the LORD <3068>: and they shall be my people <5971>, and I will be their God <0430>: for they shall return <7725> unto me with their whole <3605> heart <3820>. 8 And as the evil <7451> figs <8384>, which <0834> cannot <3808> be eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>; surely <3588> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, So <3651> will I give <5414> Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and his princes <8269>, and the residue <7611> of Jerusalem <3389>, that remain <7604> in this <2063> land <0776>, and them that dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>: 9 And I will deliver <5414> them to be removed <2189> into all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776> for [their] hurt <7451>, [to be] a reproach <2781> and a proverb <4912>, a taunt <8148> and a curse <7045>, in all <3605> places <4725> whither I shall drive <5080> them. 10 And I will send <7971> the sword <2719>, the famine <7458>, and the pestilence <1698>, among them, till <5704> they be consumed <8552> from off <5921> the land <0127> that I gave <5414> unto them and to their fathers <1>. Jeremiah 25 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> concerning <5921> all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063> in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, that [was] the first <7224> year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>; 2 The which <0834> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> spake <1696> unto all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063>, and to all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, saying <0559>, 3 From the thirteenth year <8141> of Josiah <2977> the son <1121> of Amon <0526> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, even unto this <2088> day <3117>, that [is] the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year <8141>, the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> hath come <1961> unto me, and I have spoken <1696> unto you, rising <7925> early <7925> and speaking <1696>; but ye have not hearkened <8085>. 4 And the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> unto you all <3605> his servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> early <7925> and sending <7971> [them]; but ye have not hearkened <8085>, nor <3808> inclined <5186> your ear <0241> to hear <8085>. 5 They said <0559>, Turn <7725> ye again <7725> now <4994> every <0376> one <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, and from the evil <7455> of your doings <4611>, and dwell <3427> in the land <0127> that the LORD <3068> hath given <5414> unto you and to your fathers <1> for ever <5769> and ever <5769>: 6 And go <3212> not after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <5647> them, and to worship <7812> them, and provoke me not to anger <3707> with the works <4639> of your hands <3027>; and I will do you no <3808> hurt <7489>. 7 Yet ye have not hearkened <8085> unto me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; that ye might provoke me to anger <3707> with the works <4639> of your hands <3027> to your own hurt <7451>. 8. Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Because ye have not heard <8085> my words <1697>, 9 Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> and take <3947> all <3605> the families <4940> of the north <6828>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and Nebuchadrezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant <5650>, and will bring <0935> them against <5921> this <2063> land <0776>, and against <5921> the inhabitants <3427> thereof, and against <5921> all <3605> these <0428> nations <1471> round <5439> about, and will utterly destroy <2763> them, and make <7760> them an astonishment <8047>, and an hissing <8322>, and perpetual <5769> desolations <2723>. 10 Moreover I will take <6> from them the voice <6963> of mirth <8342>, and the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>, the sound <6963> of the millstones <7347>, and the light <0216> of the candle <5216>. 11 And this <2063> whole <3605> land <0776> shall be a desolation <2723>, [and] an astonishment <8047>; and these <0428> nations <1471> shall serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> seventy <7657> years <8141>. 12 And it shall come <1961> to pass, when seventy <7657> years <8141> are accomplished <4390>, [that] I will punish <6485> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and that nation <1471>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, for their iniquity <5771>, and the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and will make <7760> it perpetual <5769> desolations <8077>. 13 And I will bring <0935> upon that land <0776> all <3605> my words <1697> which <0834> I have pronounced <1696> against <5921> it, [even] all <3605> that is written <3789> in this <2088> book <5612>, which <0834> Jeremiah <3414> hath prophesied <5012> against <5921> all <3605> the nations <1471>. 14 For many <7227> nations <1471> and great <1419> kings <4428> shall serve <5647> themselves of them also <1571>: and I will recompense <7999> them according to their deeds <6467>, and according to the works <4639> of their own hands <3027>. 15. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> unto me; Take <3947> the wine <3196> cup <3563> of this <2063> fury <2534> at my hand <3027>, and cause all <3605> the nations <1471>, to whom I send <7971> thee, to drink <8248> it. 16 And they shall drink <8354>, and be moved <1607>, and be mad <1984>, because <6440> of the sword <2719> that I will send <7971> among <0996> them. 17 Then took <3947> I the cup <3563> at the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027>, and made all <3605> the nations <1471> to drink <8248>, unto whom the LORD <3068> had sent <7971> me: 18 [To wit], Jerusalem <3389>, and the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and the kings <4428> thereof, and the princes <8269> thereof, to make <5414> them a desolation <2723>, an astonishment <8047>, an hissing <8322>, and a curse <7045>; as [it is] this <2088> day <3117>; 19 Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, and his servants <5650>, and his princes <8269>, and all <3605> his people <5971>; 20 And all <3605> the mingled <6154> people, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of the land <0776> of Uz <5780>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of the land <0776> of the Philistines <6430>, and Ashkelon <0831>, and Azzah <5804>, and Ekron <6138>, and the remnant <7611> of Ashdod <0795>, 21 Edom <0123>, and Moab <4124>, and the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, 22 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Tyrus <6865>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of Zidon <6721>, and the kings <4428> of the isles <0339> which <0834> [are] beyond <5676> the sea <3220>, 23 Dedan <1719>, and Tema <8485>, and Buz <0938>, and all <3605> [that are] in the utmost <7112> corners <6285>, 24 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Arabia <6152>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of the mingled <6154> people that dwell <7931> in the desert <4057>, 25 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of Zimri <2174>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of Elam <5867>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of the Medes <4074>, 26 And all <3605> the kings <4428> of the north <6828>, far <7350> and near <7138>, one <0376> with another <0250>, and all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the world <0776>, which <0834> [are] upon the face <6440> of the earth <0127>: and the king <4428> of Sheshach <8347> shall drink <8354> after <0310> them. 27 Therefore thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Drink <8354> ye, and be drunken <7937>, and spue <7006>, and fall <5307>, and rise <6965> no <3808> more, because <6440> of the sword <2719> which <0834> I will send <7971> among <0996> you. 28 And it shall be, if they refuse <3985> to take <3947> the cup <3563> at thine hand <3027> to drink <8354>, then shalt thou say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Ye shall certainly drink <8354>. 29 For, lo <2009>, I begin <2490> to bring evil <7489> on the city <5892> which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, and should ye be utterly unpunished <5352>? Ye shall not be unpunished <5352>: for I will call <7121> for a sword <2719> upon all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the earth <0776>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>. 30. Therefore prophesy <5012> thou against <0413> them all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>, and say <0559> unto them, The LORD <3068> shall roar <7580> from on high <4791>, and utter <5414> his voice <6963> from his holy <6944> habitation <4583>; he shall mightily roar <7580> upon his habitation <5116>; he shall give a shout, as they that tread <1869> [the grapes], against <0413> all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the earth <0776>. 31 A noise <7588> shall come <0935> [even] to the ends <7097> of the earth <0776>; for the LORD <3068> hath a controversy <7379> with the nations <1471>, he will plead <8199> with all <3605> flesh <1320>; he will give <5414> them [that are] wicked <7563> to the sword <2719>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 32 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Behold <2009>, evil <7451> shall go <3318> forth <3318> from nation <1471> to nation <1471>, and a great <1419> whirlwind <5591> shall be raised <5782> up from the coasts <3411> of the earth <0776>. 33 And the slain <2491> of the LORD <3068> shall be at that day <3117> from [one] end <7097> of the earth <0776> even unto the [other] end <7097> of the earth <0776>: they shall not be lamented <5594>, neither <3808> gathered <0622>, nor <3808> buried <6912>; they shall be dung <1828> upon the ground <0127>. 34 Howl <3213>, ye shepherds <7462>, and cry <2199>; and wallow <6428> yourselves [in the ashes], ye principal <0117> of the flock <6629>: for the days <3117> of your slaughter <2873> and of your dispersions <8600> are accomplished <4390>; and ye shall fall <5307> like a pleasant <2532> vessel <3627>. 35 And the shepherds <7462> shall have no <4480> way <4498> to flee <4498>, nor the principal <0117> of the flock <6629> to escape <6413>. 36 A voice <6963> of the cry <6818> of the shepherds <7462>, and an howling <3213> of the principal <0117> of the flock <6629>, [shall be heard <8085>]: for the LORD <3068> hath spoiled <7703> their pasture <4830>. 37 And the peaceable <7965> habitations <4999> are cut <1826> down because <6440> of the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD <3068>. 38 He hath forsaken <5800> his covert <5520>, as the lion <3715>: for their land <0776> is desolate <8047> because <6440> of the fierceness <2740> of the oppressor <3238>, and because <6440> of his fierce <2740> anger <0639>. Jeremiah 26 1. In the beginning <7225> of the reign <4468> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063> came <1961> this <2088> word <1697> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Stand <5975> in the court <2691> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, and speak <1696> unto all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, which come <0935> to worship <7812> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, all <3605> the words <1697> that I command <6680> thee to speak <1696> unto them; diminish <1639> not a word <1697>: 3 If <0194> so be they will hearken <8085>, and turn <7725> every man <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, that I may repent <5162> me of the evil <7451>, which <0834> I purpose <2803> to do <6213> unto them because <6440> of the evil <7455> of their doings <4611>. 4 And thou shalt say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> ye will not hearken <8085> to me, to walk <1980> in my law <8451>, which <0834> I have set <5414> before <6440> you, 5 To hearken <8085> to the words <1697> of my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, whom <0834> I sent <7971> unto you, both rising <7925> up early <7925>, and sending <7971> [them], but ye have not hearkened <8085>; 6 Then will I make <5414> this <2088> house <1004> like Shiloh <7887>, and will make <5414> this <2063> city <5892> a curse <7045> to all <3605> the nations <1471> of the earth <0776>. 7. So the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030> and all <3605> the people <5971> heard <8085> Jeremiah <3414> speaking <1696> these <0428> words <1697> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 8 Now it came <1961> to pass, when Jeremiah <3414> had made an end <3615> of speaking <1696> all <3605> that the LORD <3068> had commanded <6680> [him] to speak <1696> unto all <3605> the people <5971>, that the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030> and all <3605> the people <5971> took <8610> him, saying <0559>, Thou shalt surely die <4191>. 9 Why <4069> hast thou prophesied <5012> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, This <2088> house <1004> shall be like Shiloh <7887>, and this <2063> city <5892> shall be desolate <2717> without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>? And all <3605> the people <5971> were gathered <6950> against <0413> Jeremiah <3414> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 10 When the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> heard <8085> these <0428> things <1697>, then they came <5927> up from the king's <4428> house <1004> unto the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and sat <3427> down in the entry <6607> of the new <2319> gate <8179> of the LORD'S <3068> [house]. 11 Then spake <0559> the priests <3548> and the prophets <5030> unto the princes <8269> and to all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, This <2088> man <0376> [is] worthy to die <4194>; for he hath prophesied <5012> against <0413> this <2063> city <5892>, as ye have heard <8085> with your ears <0241>. 12 Then spake <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto all <3605> the princes <8269> and to all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> sent <7971> me to prophesy <5012> against <0413> this <2088> house <1004> and against <0413> this <2063> city <5892> all <3605> the words <1697> that ye have heard <8085>. 13 Therefore now <6258> amend <3190> your ways <1870> and your doings <4611>, and obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> your God <0430>; and the LORD <3068> will repent <5162> him of the evil <7451> that he hath pronounced <1696> against <5921> you. 14 As for me, behold <2005>, I [am] in your hand <3027>: do <6213> with me as seemeth <5869> good <2896> and meet <3477> unto you. 15 But know <3045> ye for certain <3045>, that if <0518> ye put me to death <4191>, ye shall surely <3588> bring <5414> innocent <5355> blood <1818> upon yourselves, and upon this <2063> city <5892>, and upon the inhabitants <3427> thereof: for of a truth <0571> the LORD <3068> hath sent <7971> me unto you to speak <1696> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> in your ears <0241>. 16. Then said <0559> the princes <8269> and all <3605> the people <5971> unto the priests <3548> and to the prophets <5030>; This <2088> man <0376> [is] not worthy to die <4194>: for he hath spoken <1696> to us in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. 17 Then rose <6965> up certain <0582> of the elders <2205> of the land <0776>, and spake <0559> to all <3605> the assembly <6951> of the people <5971>, saying <0559>, 18 Micah <4320> the Morasthite <4183> prophesied <5012> in the days <3117> of Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and spake <0559> to all <3605> the people <5971> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Zion <6726> shall be plowed <2790> [like] a field <7704>, and Jerusalem <3389> shall become <1961> heaps <5856>, and the mountain <2022> of the house <1004> as the high <1116> places of a forest <3293>. 19 Did Hezekiah <2396> king <4428> of Judah <3063> and all <3605> Judah <3063> put him at all <3605> to death <4191>? did he not fear <3373> the LORD <3068>, and besought <2470> the LORD <3068>, and the LORD <3068> repented <5162> him of the evil <7451> which <0834> he had pronounced <1696> against <5921> them? Thus might we procure <6213> great <1419> evil <7451> against <5921> our souls <5315>. 20 And there was also <1571> a man <0376> that prophesied <5012> in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, Urijah <0223> the son <1121> of Shemaiah <8098> of Kirjathjearim <7157>, who prophesied <5012> against <5921> this <2063> city <5892> and against <5921> this <2063> land <0776> according to all <3605> the words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414>: 21 And when Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428>, with all <3605> his mighty <1368> men, and all <3605> the princes <8269>, heard <8085> his words <1697>, the king <4428> sought <1245> to put him to death <4191>: but when Urijah <0223> heard <8085> it, he was afraid <3372>, and fled <1272>, and went <0935> into Egypt <4714>; 22 And Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428> sent <7971> men <0582> into Egypt <4714>, [namely], Elnathan <0494> the son <1121> of Achbor <5907>, and [certain] men <0582> with him into <0413> Egypt <4714>. 23 And they fetched <3318> forth <3318> Urijah <0223> out of Egypt <4714>, and brought <0935> him unto Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428>; who slew <5221> him with the sword <2719>, and cast <7993> his dead <5038> body <5038> into <0413> the graves <6913> of the common <1121> people <5971>. 24 Nevertheless <0389> the hand <3027> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227> was with Jeremiah <3414>, that they should not give <5414> him into the hand <3027> of the people <5971> to put him to death <4191>. Jeremiah 27 1. In the beginning <7225> of the reign <4467> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063> came <1961> this <2088> word <1697> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> to me; Make <6213> thee bonds <4147> and yokes <4133>, and put <5414> them upon thy neck <6677>, 3 And send <7971> them to the king <4428> of Edom <0123>, and to the king <4428> of Moab <4124>, and to the king <4428> of the Ammonites <5984>, and to the king <4428> of Tyrus <6865>, and to the king <4428> of Zidon <6721>, by the hand <3027> of the messengers <4397> which come <0935> to Jerusalem <3389> unto Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; 4 And command <6680> them to say <0559> unto their masters <0113>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> unto your masters <0113>; 5 I have made <6213> the earth <0776>, the man <0120> and the beast <0929> that [are] upon the ground <0776>, by my great <1419> power <3581> and by my outstretched <5186> arm <2220>, and have given <5414> it unto whom <0834> it seemed <5869> meet <3474> unto me. 6 And now <6258> have I given <5414> all <3605> these <0428> lands <0776> into <0413> the hand <3027> of Nebuchadnezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant <5650>; and the beasts <2416> of the field <7704> have I given <5414> him also <1571> to serve <5647> him. 7 And all <3605> nations <1471> shall serve <5647> him, and his son <1121>, and his son's <1121> son <1121>, until <5704> the very time <6256> of his land <0776> come <0935>: and then many <7227> nations <1471> and great <1419> kings <4428> shall serve <5647> themselves of him. 8 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] the nation <1471> and kingdom <4467> which <0834> will not serve <5647> the same Nebuchadnezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and that will not put <5414> their neck <6677> under the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, that nation <1471> will I punish <6485>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, with the sword <2719>, and with the famine <7458>, and with the pestilence <1698>, until <5704> I have consumed <8552> them by his hand <3027>. 9 Therefore hearken <8085> not ye to your prophets <5030>, nor to your diviners <7080>, nor to your dreamers <2492>, nor to your enchanters <6049>, nor to your sorcerers <3786>, which <0834> speak <0559> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye shall not serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>: 10 For they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you, to remove <7368> you far <7368> from your land <0127>; and that I should drive <5080> you out, and ye should perish <6>. 11 But the nations <1471> that bring <0935> their neck <6677> under the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and serve <5647> him, those will I let remain <3241> still in their own land <0127>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and they shall till <5647> it, and dwell <3427> therein. 12. I spake <1696> also to Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> according to all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>, saying <0559>, Bring <0935> your necks <6677> under the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and serve <5647> him and his people <5971>, and live <2421>. 13 Why <4100> will ye die <4191>, thou and thy people <5971>, by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <1696> against <0413> the nation <1471> that will not serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>? 14 Therefore hearken <8085> not unto the words <1697> of the prophets <5030> that speak <0559> unto you, saying <0559>, Ye shall not serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>: for they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you. 15 For I have not sent <7971> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, yet they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> in my name <8034>; that I might drive <5080> you out, and that ye might perish <6>, ye, and the prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> unto you. 16 Also I spake <1696> to the priests <3548> and to all <3605> this <2088> people <5971>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Hearken <8085> not to the words <1697> of your prophets <5030> that prophesy <5012> unto you, saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, the vessels <3627> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004> shall now <6258> shortly <4120> be brought <7725> again <7725> from Babylon <0894>: for they prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you. 17 Hearken <8085> not unto them; serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and live <2421>: wherefore <4100> should this <2063> city <5892> be laid waste <2723>? 18 But if <0518> they [be] prophets <5030>, and if <0518> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> be with them, let them now <4994> make intercession <6293> to the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, that the vessels <3627> which are left <3498> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and [in] the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and at Jerusalem <3389>, go <0935> not to Babylon <0894>. 19 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> concerning <5921> the pillars <5982>, and concerning <5921> the sea <3220>, and concerning <5921> the bases <4369>, and concerning <5921> the residue <3499> of the vessels <3627> that remain <3498> in this <2063> city <5892>, 20 Which <0834> Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> took <3947> not, when he carried <1546> away captive <1540> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon <0894>, and all <3605> the nobles <2715> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389>; 21 Yea <3588>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, concerning <5921> the vessels <3627> that remain <3498> [in] the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and [in] the house <1004> of the king <4428> of Judah <3063> and of Jerusalem <3389>; 22 They shall be carried <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and there <8033> shall they be until <5704> the day <3117> that I visit <6485> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; then will I bring <5927> them up, and restore <7725> them to this <2008> place <4725>. Jeremiah 28 1. And it came <1961> to pass the same <1931> year <8141>, in the beginning <7225> of the reign <4467> of Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the fourth <7243> year <8141>, [and] in the fifth <2549> month <2320>, [that] Hananiah <2608> the son <1121> of Azur <5809> the prophet <5030>, which <0834> [was] of Gibeon <1391>, spake <0559> unto me in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, in the presence <5869> of the priests <3548> and of all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, I have broken <7665> the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 3 Within <5750> two full <3117> years <8141> will I bring <7725> again <7725> into this <2008> place <4725> all <3605> the vessels <3627> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, that Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> took <3947> away from this <2008> place <4725>, and carried <0935> them to Babylon <0894>: 4 And I will bring <7725> again <7725> to this <2008> place <4725> Jeconiah <3204> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, with all <3605> the captives <1546> of Judah <3063>, that went <0935> into Babylon <0894>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: for I will break <7665> the yoke <5923> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 5 Then the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto the prophet <5030> Hananiah <2608> in the presence <5869> of the priests <3548>, and in the presence <5869> of all <3605> the people <5971> that stood <5975> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, 6 Even the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, Amen <0543>: the LORD <3068> do <6213> so <3651>: the LORD <3068> perform <6965> thy words <1697> which <0834> thou hast prophesied <5012>, to bring <7725> again <7725> the vessels <3627> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, and all <3605> that is carried <1473> away captive <1473>, from Babylon <0894> into <0413> this <2008> place <4725>. 7 Nevertheless <0389> hear <8085> thou now <4994> this <2008> word <1697> that I speak <1696> in thine ears <0241>, and in the ears <0241> of all <3605> the people <5971>; 8 The prophets <5030> that have been <1961> before <6440> me and before <6440> thee of old <5769> prophesied <5012> both against <0413> many <7227> countries <0776>, and against <5921> great <1419> kingdoms <4467>, of war <4421>, and of evil <7451>, and of pestilence <1698>. 9 The prophet <5030> which <0834> prophesieth <5012> of peace <7965>, when the word <1697> of the prophet <5030> shall come <0935> to pass, [then] shall the prophet <5030> be known <3045>, that the LORD <3068> hath truly <0571> sent <7971> him. 10. Then Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030> took <3947> the yoke <4133> from off <5921> the prophet <5030> Jeremiah's <3414> neck <6677>, and brake <7665> it. 11 And Hananiah <2608> spake <0559> in the presence <5869> of all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, Thus <3602> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Even <3602> so <3602> will I break <7665> the yoke <5923> of Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> from the neck <6677> of all <3605> nations <1471> within <5750> the space <5750> of two full <3117> years <8141>. And the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> went <3212> his way <1870>. 12 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> [the prophet], after <0310> that Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030> had broken <7665> the yoke <4133> from off <5921> the neck <6677> of the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 13 Go <1980> and tell <0559> Hananiah <2608>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Thou hast broken <7665> the yokes <4133> of wood <6086>; but thou shalt make <6213> for them yokes <4133> of iron <1270>. 14 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; I have put <5414> a yoke <5923> of iron <1270> upon the neck <6677> of all <3605> these <0428> nations <1471>, that they may serve <5647> Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>; and they shall serve <5647> him: and I have given <5414> him the beasts <2416> of the field <7704> also <1571>. 15 Then said <0559> the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414> unto Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030>, Hear <8085> now <4994>, Hananiah <2608>; The LORD <3068> hath not sent <7971> thee; but thou makest this <2008> people <5971> to trust <0982> in a lie <8267>. 16 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will cast <7971> thee from off <5921> the face <6440> of the earth <0127>: this year <8141> thou shalt die <4191>, because <3588> thou hast taught <1696> rebellion <5627> against <0413> the LORD <3068>. 17 So Hananiah <2608> the prophet <5030> died <4191> the same <1931> year <8141> in the seventh <7637> month <2320>. Jeremiah 29 1. Now these <0428> [are] the words <1697> of the letter <5612> that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> sent <7971> from Jerusalem <3389> unto the residue <3499> of the elders <2205> which were carried <1473> away captives <1473>, and to the priests <3548>, and to the prophets <5030>, and to all <3605> the people <5971> whom <0834> Nebuchadnezzar <5019> had carried <1540> away captive <1473> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon <0894>; 2 (After that Jeconiah <3204> the king <4428>, and the queen <1377>, and the eunuchs <5631>, the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> and Jerusalem <3389>, and the carpenters <2796>, and the smiths <4525>, were departed <3318> from Jerusalem <3389>;) 3 By the hand <3027> of Elasah <0501> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, and Gemariah <1587> the son <1121> of Hilkiah <2518>, (whom Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> sent <7971> unto Babylon <0894> to Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>) saying <0559>, 4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, unto all <3605> that are carried <1473> away captives <1473>, whom <0834> I have caused to be carried <1540> away from Jerusalem <3389> unto Babylon <0894>; 5 Build <1129> ye houses <1004>, and dwell <3427> [in them]; and plant <5193> gardens <1593>, and eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them; 6 Take <3947> ye wives <0802>, and beget <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1121>; and take <3947> wives <0802> for your sons <1121>, and give <5414> your daughters <1121> to husbands <0582>, that they may bear <3205> sons <1121> and daughters <1121>; that ye may be increased <7235> there <8033>, and not diminished <4591>. 7 And seek <1875> the peace <7965> of the city <5892> whither I have caused you to be carried <1540> away captives <1540>, and pray <6419> unto the LORD <3068> for it: for in the peace <7965> thereof shall ye have peace <7965>. 8. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Let not your prophets <5030> and your diviners <7080>, that [be] in the midst <7130> of you, deceive <5377> you, neither <0408> hearken <8085> to your dreams <2472> which <0834> ye cause to be dreamed <2492>. 9 For they prophesy <5012> falsely <8267> unto you in my name <8034>: I have not sent <7971> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 10 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, That after <6310> seventy <7657> years <8141> be accomplished <4390> at Babylon <0894> I will visit <6485> you, and perform <6965> my good <2896> word <1697> toward <5921> you, in causing you to return <7725> to this <2088> place <4725>. 11 For I know <3045> the thoughts <4284> that I think <2803> toward <5921> you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, thoughts <4284> of peace <7965>, and not of evil <7451>, to give <5414> you an expected <8615> end <0319>. 12 Then shall ye call <7121> upon me, and ye shall go <1980> and pray <6419> unto me, and I will hearken <8085> unto you. 13 And ye shall seek <1245> me, and find <4672> [me], when <3588> ye shall search <1875> for me with all <3605> your heart <3824>. 14 And I will be found <4672> of you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: and I will turn <7725> away your captivity <7622>, and I will gather <6908> you from all <3605> the nations <1471>, and from all <3605> the places <4725> whither I have driven <5080> you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and I will bring <7725> you again <7725> into <0413> the place <4725> whence I caused you to be carried <1540> away captive <1540>. 15. Because <3588> ye have said <0559>, The LORD <3068> hath raised <6965> us up prophets <5030> in Babylon <0894>; 16 [Know] that thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of the king <4428> that sitteth <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, and of all <3605> the people <5971> that dwelleth <3427> in this <2063> city <5892>, [and] of your brethren <0251> that are not gone <3318> forth <3318> with you into captivity <1473>; 17 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> upon them the sword <2719>, the famine <7458>, and the pestilence <1698>, and will make <5414> them like vile <8182> figs <8384>, that cannot <3808> be eaten <0398>, they are so evil <7455>. 18 And I will persecute them with the sword <2719>, with the famine <7458>, and with the pestilence <1698>, and will deliver <5414> them to be removed <2189> to all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>, to be a curse <0423>, and an astonishment <8047>, and an hissing <8322>, and a reproach <2781>, among all <3605> the nations <1471> whither I have driven <5080> them: 19 Because they have not hearkened <8085> to my words <1697>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which <0834> I sent <7971> unto them by my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> up early <7925> and sending <7971> [them]; but ye would not hear <8085>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 20 Hear <8085> ye therefore the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, all <3605> ye of the captivity <1473>, whom <0834> I have sent <7971> from Jerusalem <3389> to Babylon <0894>: 21 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, of Ahab <0256> the son <1121> of Kolaiah <6964>, and of Zedekiah <6667> the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641>, which prophesy <5012> a lie <8267> unto you in my name <8034>; Behold <2009>, I will deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>; and he shall slay <5221> them before your eyes <5869>; 22 And of them shall be taken <3947> up a curse <7045> by all <3605> the captivity <1546> of Judah <3063> which <0834> [are] in Babylon <0894>, saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> make <7760> thee like Zedekiah <6667> and like Ahab <0256>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> roasted <7033> in the fire <0784>; 23 Because they have committed <6213> villany <5039> in Israel <3478>, and have committed <6213> adultery <5003> with their neighbours <7453>' wives <0802>, and have spoken <1696> lying <8267> words <1697> in my name <8034>, which <0834> I have not commanded <6680> them; even I know <3045>, and [am] a witness <5707>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 24. [Thus] shalt thou also speak <0559> to Shemaiah <8098> the Nehelamite <5161>, saying <0559>, 25 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Because thou hast sent <7971> letters <5612> in thy name <8034> unto all <3605> the people <5971> that [are] at Jerusalem <3389>, and to Zephaniah <6846> the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641> the priest <3548>, and to all <3605> the priests <3548>, saying <0559>, 26 The LORD <3068> hath made <5414> thee priest <3548> in the stead <8478> of Jehoiada <3111> the priest <3548>, that ye should be officers <6496> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, for every man <0376> [that is] mad <7696>, and maketh himself a prophet <5012>, that thou shouldest put <5414> him in prison <4115>, and in the stocks <6729>. 27 Now <6258> therefore why <4100> hast thou not reproved <1605> Jeremiah <3414> of Anathoth <6068>, which maketh himself a prophet <5012> to you? 28 For therefore he sent <7971> unto us [in] Babylon <0894>, saying <0559>, This <1931> [captivity is] long <0752>: build <1129> ye houses <1004>, and dwell <3427> [in them]; and plant <5193> gardens <1593>, and eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them. 29 And Zephaniah <6846> the priest <3548> read <7121> this letter <5612> in the ears <0241> of Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>. 30 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 31 Send <7971> to all <3605> them of the captivity <1473>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> concerning <0413> Shemaiah <8098> the Nehelamite <5161>; Because that Shemaiah <8098> hath prophesied <5012> unto you, and I sent <7971> him not, and he caused you to trust <0982> in a lie <8267>: 32 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> Shemaiah <8098> the Nehelamite <5161>, and his seed <2233>: he shall not have <1961> a man <0376> to dwell <3427> among <8432> this <2088> people <5971>; neither <3808> shall he behold <7200> the good <2896> that I will do <6213> for my people <5971>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; because <3588> he hath taught <1696> rebellion <5627> against <5921> the LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 30 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>, Write <3789> thee all <3605> the words <1697> that I have spoken <1696> unto thee in a book <5612>. 3 For, lo <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of my people <5971> Israel <3478> and Judah <3063>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>: and I will cause them to return <7725> to the land <0776> that I gave <5414> to their fathers <1>, and they shall possess <3423> it. 4 And these <0428> [are] the words <1697> that the LORD <3068> spake <1696> concerning <0413> Israel <3478> and concerning <0413> Judah <3063>. 5 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; We have heard <8085> a voice <6963> of trembling <2731>, of fear <6343>, and not of peace <7965>. 6 Ask <7592> ye now <4994>, and see <7200> whether <0518> a man <2145> doth travail <3205> with child <3205>? wherefore <4069> do I see <7200> every <3605> man <1397> with his hands <3027> on <5921> his loins <2504>, as a woman in travail <3205>, and all <3605> faces <6440> are turned <2015> into paleness <3420>? 7 Alas <1945>! for that day <3117> [is] great <1419>, so that none <0369> [is] like <3644> it: it [is] even the time <6256> of Jacob's <3290> trouble <6869>; but he shall be saved <3467> out of it. 8 For it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [that] I will break <7665> his yoke <5923> from off <5921> thy neck <6677>, and will burst <5423> thy bonds <4147>, and strangers <2114> shall no <3808> more <5750> serve <5647> themselves of him: 9 But they shall serve <5647> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, and David <1732> their king <4428>, whom <0834> I will raise <6965> up unto them. 10. Therefore fear <3372> thou not, O my servant <5650> Jacob <3290>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; neither <0408> be dismayed <2865>, O Israel <3478>: for, lo <2009>, I will save <3467> thee from afar <7350>, and thy seed <2233> from the land <0776> of their captivity <7628>; and Jacob <3290> shall return <7725>, and shall be in rest <8252>, and be quiet <7599>, and none <0369> shall make [him] afraid <2729>. 11 For I [am] with thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, to save <3467> thee: though <3588> I make <6213> a full end <3615> of all <3605> nations <1471> whither I have scattered <6327> thee, yet <0389> will I not make <6213> a full end <3615> of thee: but I will correct <3256> thee in measure <4941>, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished <5352>. 12 For thus <3541> saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, Thy bruise <7667> [is] incurable <0605>, [and] thy wound <4347> [is] grievous <2470>. 13 [There is] none <0369> to plead <1777> thy cause <1779>, that thou mayest be bound <4205> up: thou hast no <0369> healing <8585> medicines <7499>. 14 All <3605> thy lovers <0157> have forgotten <7911> thee; they seek <1875> thee not; for I have wounded <5221> thee with the wound <4347> of an enemy <0341>, with the chastisement <4148> of a cruel <0394> one, for the multitude <7230> of thine iniquity <5771>; [because] thy sins <2403> were increased <6105>. 15 Why <4100> criest <2199> thou for thine affliction <7667>? thy sorrow <4341> [is] incurable <0605> for the multitude <7230> of thine iniquity <5771>: [because] thy sins <2403> were increased <6105>, I have done <6213> these <0428> things unto thee. 16 Therefore <3651> all <3605> they that devour <0398> thee shall be devoured <0398>; and all <3605> thine adversaries <6862>, every <3605> one of them, shall go <3212> into captivity <7633>; and they that spoil <7701> thee shall be a spoil <4933>, and all <3605> that prey <0962> upon thee will I give <5414> for a prey <7998>. 17 For I will restore <5927> health <0724> unto thee, and I will heal <7495> thee of thy wounds <4347>, saith the LORD <3068>; because <3588> they called <7121> thee an Outcast <5080>, [saying], This <1931> [is] Zion <6726>, whom no <0369> man seeketh <1875> after <0310>. 18. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of Jacob's <3290> tents <0168>, and have mercy <7355> on his dwellingplaces <4908>; and the city <5892> shall be builded <1129> upon her own heap <8510>, and the palace <0759> shall remain <3427> after <5921> the manner <4941> thereof. 19 And out of them shall proceed <3318> thanksgiving <8426> and the voice <6963> of them that make merry <7832>: and I will multiply <7235> them, and they shall not be few <4591>; I will also glorify <3513> them, and they shall not be small <6819>. 20 Their children <1121> also shall be as aforetime <6924>, and their congregation <5712> shall be established <3559> before <6440> me, and I will punish <6485> all <3605> that oppress <3905> them. 21 And their nobles <0117> shall be of themselves, and their governor <4910> shall proceed <3318> from the midst <7130> of them; and I will cause him to draw near <7126>, and he shall approach <5066> unto me: for who <4310> [is] this that engaged <6148> his heart <3820> to approach <5066> unto me? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 22 And ye shall be my people <5971>, and I will be your God <0430>. 23 Behold <2009>, the whirlwind <5591> of the LORD <3068> goeth <3318> forth <3318> with fury <2534>, a continuing <1641> whirlwind <5591>: it shall fall <2342> with pain <2342> upon the head <7218> of the wicked <7563>. 24 The fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> shall not return <7725>, until <5704> he have done <6213> [it], and until <5704> he have performed <6965> the intents <4209> of his heart <3820>: in the latter <0319> days <3117> ye shall consider <0995> it. Jeremiah 31 1. At the same <1931> time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, will I be the God <0430> of all <3605> the families <4940> of Israel <3478>, and they shall be my people <5971>. 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, The people <5971> [which were] left <8300> of the sword <2719> found <4672> grace <2580> in the wilderness <4057>; [even] Israel <3478>, when I went <1980> to cause him to rest <7280>. 3 The LORD <3068> hath appeared <7200> of old <7350> unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved <0157> thee with an everlasting <5769> love <0160>: therefore with lovingkindness <2617> have I drawn <4900> thee. 4 Again <5750> I will build <1129> thee, and thou shalt be built <1129>, O virgin <1330> of Israel <3478>: thou shalt again <5750> be adorned <5710> with thy tabrets <8596>, and shalt go <3318> forth <3318> in the dances of them that make merry <7832>. 5 Thou shalt yet <5750> plant <5193> vines <3754> upon the mountains <2022> of Samaria <8111>: the planters <5193> shall plant <5193>, and shall eat [them] as common <2490> things. 6 For there shall be a day <3117>, [that] the watchmen <5341> upon the mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> shall cry <7121>, Arise <6965> ye, and let us go <5927> up to Zion <6726> unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. 7 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Sing <7442> with gladness <8057> for Jacob <3290>, and shout <6670> among the chief <7218> of the nations <1471>: publish <8085> ye, praise <1984> ye, and say <0559>, O LORD <3068>, save <3467> thy people <5971>, the remnant <7611> of Israel <3478>. 8 Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> them from the north <6828> country <0776>, and gather <6908> them from the coasts <3411> of the earth <0776>, [and] with them the blind <5787> and the lame <6455>, the woman with child <2030> and her that travaileth <3205> with child <3205> together <3162>: a great <1419> company <6951> shall return <7725> thither <2008>. 9 They shall come <0935> with weeping <1065>, and with supplications <8469> will I lead <2986> them: I will cause them to walk <1980> by the rivers <5158> of waters <4325> in a straight <3474> way <1870>, wherein they shall not stumble <3782>: for I am a father <1> to Israel <3478>, and Ephraim <0669> [is] my firstborn <1060>. 10. Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O ye nations <1471>, and declare <5046> [it] in the isles <0339> afar <4801> off, and say <0559>, He that scattered <2219> Israel <3478> will gather <6908> him, and keep <8104> him, as a shepherd <7462> [doth] his flock <5739>. 11 For the LORD <3068> hath redeemed <6299> Jacob <3290>, and ransomed <1350> him from the hand <3027> of [him that was] stronger <2388> than he. 12 Therefore they shall come <0935> and sing <7442> in the height <4791> of Zion <6726>, and shall flow <5102> together to the goodness <2898> of the LORD <3068>, for wheat <1715>, and for wine <8492>, and for oil <3323>, and for the young <1121> of the flock <6629> and of the herd <1241>: and their soul <5315> shall be as a watered <7302> garden <1588>; and they shall not sorrow <1669> any more <3254> at all. 13 Then shall the virgin <1330> rejoice <8057> in the dance <4234>, both young <0970> men and old <2205> together <3162>: for I will turn <2015> their mourning <60> into joy <8342>, and will comfort <5162> them, and make them rejoice <8057> from their sorrow <3015>. 14 And I will satiate <7301> the soul <5315> of the priests <3548> with fatness <1880>, and my people <5971> shall be satisfied <7646> with my goodness <2898>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 15 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; A voice <6963> was heard <8085> in Ramah <7414>, lamentation <5092>, [and] bitter <8563> weeping <1065>; Rahel <7354> weeping <1058> for her children <1121> refused <3985> to be comforted <5162> for her children <1121>, because <3588> they [were] not. 16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Refrain <4513> thy voice <6963> from weeping <1065>, and thine eyes <5869> from tears <1832>: for thy work <6468> shall be rewarded <7939>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and they shall come <7725> again <7725> from the land <0776> of the enemy <0341>. 17 And there is hope <8615> in thine end <0319>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that thy children <1121> shall come <7725> again <7725> to their own border <1366>. 18. I have surely heard <8085> Ephraim <0669> bemoaning <5110> himself [thus]; Thou hast chastised <3256> me, and I was chastised <3256>, as a bullock <5695> unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn <7725> thou me, and I shall be turned <7725>; for thou [art] the LORD <3068> my God <0430>. 19 Surely <3588> after <0310> that I was turned <7725>, I repented <5162>; and after <0310> that I was instructed <3045>, I smote <5606> upon [my] thigh <3409>: I was ashamed <0954>, yea <1571>, even <1571> confounded <3637>, because <3588> I did bear <5375> the reproach <2781> of my youth <5271>. 20 [Is] Ephraim <0669> my dear <3357> son <1121>? [is he] a pleasant <8191> child <3205>? for since <1767> I spake <1696> against him, I do earnestly remember <2142> him still <5750>: therefore my bowels <4578> are troubled <1993> for him; I will surely have mercy <7355> upon him, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 21 Set <5324> thee up waymarks <6725>, make <7760> thee high <8564> heaps <8564>: set <7896> thine heart <3820> toward the highway <4546>, [even] the way <1870> [which] thou wentest <1980>: turn <7725> again <7725>, O virgin <1330> of Israel <3478>, turn <7725> again <7725> to these <0428> thy cities <5892>. 22 How <5704> long <5704> wilt thou go <2559> about <2559>, O thou backsliding <7728> daughter <1323>? for the LORD <3068> hath created <1254> a new <2319> thing in the earth <0776>, A woman <5347> shall compass <5437> a man <1397>. 23 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; As yet <5750> they shall use <0559> this <2088> speech <1697> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063> and in the cities <5892> thereof, when I shall bring <7725> again <7725> their captivity <7622>; The LORD <3068> bless <1288> thee, O habitation <5116> of justice <6664>, [and] mountain <2022> of holiness <6944>. 24 And there shall dwell <3427> in Judah <3063> itself, and in all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof together <3162>, husbandmen <0406>, and they [that] go <5265> forth <5265> with flocks <5739>. 25 For I have satiated <7301> the weary <5889> soul <5315>, and I have replenished <4390> every <3605> sorrowful <1669> soul <5315>. 26 Upon this <2063> I awaked <6974>, and beheld <7200>; and my sleep <8142> was sweet <6147> unto me. 27. Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will sow <2232> the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and the house <1004> of Judah <3063> with the seed <2233> of man <0120>, and with the seed <2233> of beast <0929>. 28 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] like as I have watched <8245> over <5921> them, to pluck <5428> up, and to break <5422> down <5422>, and to throw <2040> down <2040>, and to destroy <6>, and to afflict <7489>; so <3651> will I watch <8245> over <5921> them, to build <1129>, and to plant <5193>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 29 In those <1992> days <3117> they shall say <0559> no <3808> more <5750>, The fathers <1> have eaten <0398> a sour <1155> grape <1155>, and the children's <1121> teeth <8127> are set on edge <6949>. 30 But every <0376> one <0376> shall die <4191> for his own iniquity <5771>: every man <0120> that eateth <0398> the sour <1155> grape <1155>, his teeth <8127> shall be set on edge <6949>. 31 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will make <3772> a new <2319> covenant <1285> with the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, and with the house <1004> of Judah <3063>: 32 Not according to the covenant <1285> that I made <3772> with their fathers <1> in the day <3117> [that] I took <2388> them by the hand <3027> to bring <3318> them out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; which <0834> my covenant <1285> they brake <6565>, although I was an husband <1167> unto them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: 33 But this <2063> [shall be] the covenant <1285> that I will make <3772> with the house <1004> of Israel <3478>; After <0310> those <1992> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, I will put <5414> my law <8451> in their inward <7130> parts, and write <3789> it in their hearts <3820>; and will be their God <0430>, and they shall be my people <5971>. 34 And they shall teach <3925> no <3808> more <5750> every man <0376> his neighbour <7453>, and every man <0376> his brother <0251>, saying <0559>, Know <3045> the LORD <3068>: for they shall all <3605> know <3045> me, from the least <6996> of them unto the greatest <1419> of them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: for I will forgive <5545> their iniquity <5771>, and I will remember <2142> their sin <2403> no <3808> more <5750>. 35. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, which giveth <5414> the sun <8121> for a light <0216> by day <3119>, [and] the ordinances <2708> of the moon <3394> and of the stars <3556> for a light <0216> by night <3915>, which divideth <7280> the sea <3220> when the waves <1530> thereof roar <1993>; The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>: 36 If <0518> those <0428> ordinances <2706> depart <4185> from before <6440> me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, [then] the seed <2233> of Israel <3478> also <1571> shall cease <7673> from being <1961> a nation <1471> before <6440> me for ever. 37 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> heaven <8064> above <4605> can be measured <4058>, and the foundations <4146> of the earth <0776> searched <2713> out beneath <4295>, I will also <1571> cast <3988> off all <3605> the seed <2233> of Israel <3478> for all <3605> that they have done <6213>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 38 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that the city <5892> shall be built <1129> to the LORD <3068> from the tower <4026> of Hananeel <2606> unto the gate <8179> of the corner <6438>. 39 And the measuring <4060> line <6957> shall yet <5750> go <3318> forth <3318> over <5048> against <5048> it upon the hill <1389> Gareb <1619>, and shall compass <5437> about to Goath <1601>. 40 And the whole <3605> valley <6010> of the dead <6297> bodies <6297>, and of the ashes <1880>, and all <3605> the fields <8309> unto the brook <5158> of Kidron <6939>, unto the corner <6438> of the horse <5483> gate <8179> toward the east <4217>, [shall be] holy <6944> unto the LORD <3068>; it shall not be plucked <5428> up, nor <3808> thrown <2040> down <2040> any more <5750> for ever <5769>. Jeremiah 32 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068> in the tenth <6224> year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, which <1958> [was] the eighteenth year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019>. 2 For then <0227> the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428> besieged <6696> Jerusalem <3389>: and Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> was shut <3607> up in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, which <0834> [was] in the king <4428> of Judah's <3063> house <1004>. 3 For Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had shut <3607> him up, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4069> dost thou prophesy <5012>, and say <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, Behold <2005>, I will give <5414> this <2063> city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall take <3920> it; 4 And Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> shall not escape <4422> out of the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, but shall surely be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and shall speak <1696> with him mouth <6310> to mouth <6310>, and his eyes <5869> shall behold <7200> his eyes <5869>; 5 And he shall lead <3212> Zedekiah <6667> to Babylon <0894>, and there <8033> shall he be until <5704> I visit <6485> him, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: though <3588> ye fight <3898> with the Chaldeans <3778>, ye shall not prosper <6743>. 6 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto me, saying <0559>, 7 Behold <2009>, Hanameel <2601> the son <1121> of Shallum <7967> thine uncle <1730> shall come <0935> unto thee, saying <0559>, Buy <7069> thee my field <7704> that [is] in Anathoth <6068>: for the right <4941> of redemption <1353> [is] thine to buy <7069> [it]. 8 So Hanameel <2601> mine uncle's <1733> son <1121> came <0935> to me in the court <2691> of the prison <4307> according to the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, and said <0559> unto me, Buy <7069> my field <7704>, I pray <4994> thee, that [is] in Anathoth <6068>, which <0834> [is] in the country <0776> of Benjamin <1144>: for the right <4941> of inheritance <3425> [is] thine, and the redemption <1353> [is] thine; buy <7069> [it] for thyself. Then I knew <3045> that this <1931> [was] the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>. 9 And I bought <7069> the field <7704> of Hanameel <2601> my uncle's <1733> son <1121>, that [was] in Anathoth <6068>, and weighed <8254> him the money <3701>, [even] seventeen <7651> shekels <8255> of silver <3701>. 10 And I subscribed <3789> the evidence <5612>, and sealed <2856> [it], and took witnesses <5707>, and weighed <8254> [him] the money <3701> in the balances <3976>. 11 So I took <3947> the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>, [both] that which was sealed <2856> [according] to the law <4687> and custom <2706>, and that which was open <1540>: 12 And I gave <5414> the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4271>, in the sight <5869> of Hanameel <2601> mine uncle's <1733> [son], and in the presence <5869> of the witnesses <5707> that subscribed <3789> the book <5612> of the purchase <4736>, before <5869> all <3605> the Jews <3064> that sat <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>. 13 And I charged <6680> Baruch <1263> before <5869> them, saying <0559>, 14 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Take <3947> these <0428> evidences <5612>, this <2088> evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736>, both which is sealed <2856>, and this <2088> evidence <5612> which is open <1540>; and put <5414> them in an earthen <2789> vessel <3627>, that they may continue <5975> many <7227> days <3117>. 15 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Houses <1004> and fields <7704> and vineyards <3754> shall be possessed <7069> again <5750> in this <2063> land <0776>. 16. Now when I had delivered <5414> the evidence <5612> of the purchase <4736> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, I prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 17 Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <3069>! behold <2009>, thou hast made <6213> the heaven <8064> and the earth <0776> by thy great <1419> power <3581> and stretched <5186> out arm <2220>, [and] there is nothing too hard <6381> for thee: 18 Thou shewest <6213> lovingkindness <2617> unto thousands <0505>, and recompensest <7999> the iniquity <5771> of the fathers <1> into <0413> the bosom <2436> of their children <1121> after <0310> them: the Great <1419>, the Mighty <1368> God <0410>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, [is] his name <8034>, 19 Great <1419> in counsel <6098>, and mighty <7227> in work <5950>: for thine eyes <5869> [are] open <6491> upon all <3605> the ways <1870> of the sons <1121> of men <0120>: to give <5414> every <0376> one <0376> according to his ways <1870>, and according to the fruit <6529> of his doings <4611>: 20 Which <0834> hast set <7760> signs <0226> and wonders <4159> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, [even] unto this <2088> day <3119>, and in Israel <3478>, and among [other] men <0120>; and hast made <6213> thee a name <8034>, as at <5704> this <2088> day <3119>; 21 And hast brought <3318> forth <3318> thy people <5971> Israel <3478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> with signs <0226>, and with wonders <4159>, and with a strong <2389> hand <3027>, and with a stretched <5186> out arm <0248>, and with great <1419> terror <4172>; 22 And hast given <5414> them this <2063> land <0776>, which <0834> thou didst swear <7650> to their fathers <1> to give <5414> them, a land <0776> flowing <2100> with milk <2461> and honey <1706>; 23 And they came <0935> in, and possessed <3423> it; but they obeyed <8085> not thy voice <6963>, neither <3808> walked <1980> in thy law <8451>; they have done <6213> nothing <3808> of all <3605> that thou commandedst <6680> them to do <6213>: therefore thou hast caused all <3605> this <2063> evil <7451> to come <7122> upon them: 24 Behold <2009> the mounts <5550>, they are come <0935> unto the city <5892> to take <3920> it; and the city <5892> is given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, that fight <3898> against <5921> it, because <6440> of the sword <2719>, and of the famine <7458>, and of the pestilence <1698>: and what <0834> thou hast spoken <1696> is come <1961> to pass; and, behold <2009>, thou seest <7200> [it]. 25 And thou hast said <0559> unto me, O Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, Buy <7069> thee the field <7704> for money <3701>, and take <5749> witnesses <5707>; for the city <5892> is given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>. 26. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 27 Behold <2009>, I [am] the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of all <3605> flesh <1320>: is there any <3605> thing <1697> too hard <6381> for me? 28 Therefore thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will give <5414> this <2063> city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall take <3920> it: 29 And the Chaldeans <3778>, that fight <3898> against <5921> this <2063> city <5892>, shall come <0935> and set fire <0784> on this <2063> city <5892>, and burn <8313> it with the houses <1004>, upon whose <0834> roofs <1406> they have offered <6999> incense <6999> unto Baal <1168>, and poured <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto other <0312> gods <0430>, to provoke me to anger <3707>. 30 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> and the children <1121> of Judah <3063> have only <0389> done <6213> evil <7451> before <5869> me from their youth <5271>: for the children <1121> of Israel <3478> have only <0389> provoked me to anger <3707> with the work <4639> of their hands <3027>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 31 For this <2063> city <5892> hath been <1961> to me [as] a provocation <3708> of mine anger <0639> and of my fury <2534> from the day <3119> that they built <1129> it even unto this <2088> day <3119>; that I should remove <5493> it from before <5921> my face <6440>, 32 Because <5921> of all <3605> the evil <7451> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> and of the children <1121> of Judah <3063>, which <0834> they have done <6213> to provoke me to anger <3707>, they, their kings <4428>, their princes <8269>, their priests <3548>, and their prophets <5030>, and the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>. 33 And they have turned <6437> unto me the back <6203>, and not the face <6440>: though I taught <3925> them, rising <7925> up early <7925> and teaching <3925> [them], yet they have not hearkened <8085> to receive <3947> instruction <4148>. 34 But they set <7760> their abominations <8251> in the house <1004>, which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>, to defile <2930> it. 35 And they built <1129> the high <1116> places of Baal <1168>, which <0834> [are] in the valley <1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, to cause <4616> their sons <1121> and their daughters <1121> to pass <5674> through [the fire <0784>] unto Molech <4432>; which <0834> I commanded <6680> them not, neither <3808> came <5927> it into <5921> my mind <3820>, that they should do <6213> this <2063> abomination <8441>, to cause Judah <3063> to sin <2398>. 36 And now <6258> therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, concerning <0413> this <2063> city <5892>, whereof <0834> ye say <0559>, It shall be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> by the sword <2719>, and by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>; 37 Behold <2005>, I will gather <6908> them out of all <3605> countries <0776>, whither I have driven <5080> them in mine anger <0639>, and in my fury <2534>, and in great <1419> wrath <7110>; and I will bring <7725> them again <7725> unto this place <4725>, and I will cause them to dwell <3427> safely <0983>: 38 And they shall be my people <5971>, and I will be their God <0430>: 39 And I will give <5414> them one <0259> heart <3820>, and one <0259> way <1870>, that they may fear <3372> me for ever, for the good <2896> of them, and of their children <1121> after <0310> them: 40 And I will make <3772> an everlasting <5769> covenant <1285> with them, that I will not turn <7725> away from them, to do them good <3190>; but I will put <5414> my fear <3374> in their hearts <3824>, that they shall not depart <5493> from me. 41 Yea, I will rejoice <7797> over <5921> them to do them good <2895>, and I will plant <5193> them in this <2063> land <0776> assuredly <0571> with my whole <3605> heart <3820> and with my whole <3605> soul <5315>. 42 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Like as I have brought <0935> all <3605> this <2063> great <1419> evil <7451> upon this <2088> people <5971>, so <3651> will I bring <0935> upon them all <3605> the good <2896> that I have promised <1696> them. 43 And fields <7704> shall be bought <7069> in this <2063> land <0776>, whereof <0834> ye say <0559>, [It is] desolate <8077> without <0369> man <0120> or beast <0929>; it is given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>. 44 Men shall buy <7069> fields <7704> for money <3701>, and subscribe <3789> evidences <5612>, and seal <2856> [them], and take <5749> witnesses <5707> in the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>, and in the places about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>, and in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the cities <5892> of the mountains <2022>, and in the cities <5892> of the valley <8219>, and in the cities <5892> of the south <5045>: for I will <7522> cause their captivity <7622> to return <7725>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 33 1. Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> the second <8145> time, while he was yet <5750> shut <6113> up in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> the maker <6213> thereof, the LORD <3068> that formed <3335> it, to establish <3559> it; the LORD <3068> [is] his name <8034>; 3 Call <7121> unto me, and I will answer <6030> thee, and shew <5046> thee great <1419> and mighty <1219> things, which thou knowest <3045> not. 4 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, concerning <5921> the houses <1004> of this <2063> city <5892>, and concerning <5921> the houses <1004> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, which are thrown <5422> down <5422> by the mounts <5550>, and by the sword <2719>; 5 They come <0935> to fight <3898> with the Chaldeans <3778>, but [it is] to fill <4390> them with the dead <6297> bodies <6297> of men <0120>, whom <0834> I have slain <5221> in mine anger <0639> and in my fury <2534>, and for all <3605> whose <0834> wickedness <7451> I have hid <5641> my face <6440> from this <2063> city <5892>. 6 Behold <2005>, I will bring <4608> it health <0724> and cure <7495>, and I will cure <7495> them, and will reveal <1540> unto them the abundance <6283> of peace <7965> and truth <0571>. 7 And I will cause the captivity <7622> of Judah <3063> and the captivity <7622> of Israel <3478> to return <7725>, and will build <1129> them, as at the first <7223>. 8 And I will cleanse <2891> them from all <3605> their iniquity <5771>, whereby <0834> they have sinned <2398> against me; and I will pardon <5545> all <3605> their iniquities <5771>, whereby <0834> they have sinned <2398>, and whereby <0834> they have transgressed <6586> against me. 9 And it shall be to me a name <8034> of joy <8342>, a praise <8416> and an honour <8597> before all <3605> the nations <1471> of the earth <0776>, which <0834> shall hear <8085> all <3605> the good <2896> that I do <6213> unto them: and they shall fear <6342> and tremble <7264> for all <3605> the goodness <2896> and for all <3605> the prosperity <7965> that I procure <6213> unto it. 10. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Again <5750> there shall be heard <8085> in this <2088> place <4725>, which <0834> ye say <0559> [shall be] desolate <2717> without <0369> man <0120> and without <0369> beast <0929>, [even] in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>, that are desolate <8074>, without <0369> man <0120>, and without <0369> inhabitant <3427>, and without <0369> beast <0929>, 11 The voice <6963> of joy <8342>, and the voice <6963> of gladness <8057>, the voice <6963> of the bridegroom <2860>, and the voice <6963> of the bride <3618>, the voice <6963> of them that shall say <0559>, Praise <3034> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>: for the LORD <3068> [is] good <2896>; for his mercy <2617> [endureth] for ever <5769>: [and] of them that shall bring <0935> the sacrifice of praise <8426> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. For I will cause to return <7725> the captivity <7622> of the land <0776>, as at the first <7223>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>. 12 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Again <5750> in this <2088> place <4725>, which is desolate <2717> without man <0120> and without beast <0929>, and in all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof, shall be an habitation <5116> of shepherds <7462> causing [their] flocks <6629> to lie <7257> down <7901>. 13 In the cities <5892> of the mountains <2022>, in the cities <5892> of the vale <8219>, and in the cities <5892> of the south <5045>, and in the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>, and in the places about <5439> Jerusalem <3389>, and in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, shall the flocks <6629> pass <5674> again <5750> under <5921> the hands <3027> of him that telleth <4487> [them], saith <0559> the LORD <3068>. 14 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will perform <6965> that good <2896> thing <1697> which <0834> I have promised <1696> unto the house <1004> of Israel <3478> and to the house <1004> of Judah <3063>. 15 In those <1992> days <3117>, and at that time <6256>, will I cause the Branch <6780> of righteousness <6666> to grow <6779> up unto David <1732>; and he shall execute <6213> judgment <4941> and righteousness <6666> in the land <0776>. 16 In those <1992> days <3117> shall Judah <3063> be saved <3467>, and Jerusalem <3389> shall dwell <7931> safely <0983>: and this <2088> [is the name] wherewith <0834> she shall be called <7121>, The LORD <3068> our righteousness <6664>. 17. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; David <1732> shall never <3808> want <3772> a man <0376> to sit <3427> upon the throne <3678> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478>; 18 Neither <3808> shall the priests <3548> the Levites <3881> want <3772> a man <0376> before <6440> me to offer <5927> burnt <5930> offerings, and to kindle <6999> meat offerings <4503>, and to do <6213> sacrifice <2077> continually. 19 And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 20 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> ye can break <6565> my covenant <1285> of the day <3117>, and my covenant <1285> of the night <3915>, and that there should not be day <3119> and night <3915> in their season <6256>; 21 [Then] may also <1571> my covenant <1285> be broken <6565> with David <1732> my servant <5650>, that he should not have <1961> a son <1121> to reign <4427> upon his throne <3678>; and with the Levites <3881> the priests <3548>, my ministers <8334>. 22 As the host <6635> of heaven <8064> cannot <3808> be numbered <5608>, neither <3808> the sand <2344> of the sea <3220> measured <4058>: so <3651> will I multiply <7235> the seed <2233> of David <1732> my servant <5650>, and the Levites <3881> that minister <8334> unto me. 23 Moreover the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 24 Considerest <7200> thou not what <4100> this <2088> people <5971> have spoken <1696>, saying <0559>, The two <8147> families <4940> which <0834> the LORD <3068> hath chosen <0977>, he hath even cast <3988> them off? thus they have despised <5006> my people <5971>, that they should be no more <5750> a nation <1471> before <6440> them. 25 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; If <0518> my covenant <1285> [be] not with day <3119> and night <3915>, [and if] I have not appointed <7760> the ordinances <2708> of heaven <8064> and earth <0776>; 26 Then <1571> will I cast <3988> away the seed <2233> of Jacob <3290>, and David <1732> my servant <5650>, [so] that I will not take <3947> [any] of his seed <2233> [to be] rulers <4910> over <0413> the seed <2233> of Abraham <85>, Isaac <3446>, and Jacob <3290>: for I will cause their captivity <7622> to return <7725>, and have mercy <7355> on them. Jeremiah 34 1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, when Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and all <3605> his army <2428>, and all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776> of his dominion <4475>, and all <3605> the people <5971>, fought <3898> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and against <5921> all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Go <1980> and speak <0559> to Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and tell <0559> him, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will give <5414> this <2063> city <5892> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall burn <8313> it with fire <0784>: 3 And thou shalt not escape <4422> out of his hand <3027>, but shalt surely <3588> be taken <8610>, and delivered <5414> into his hand <3027>; and thine eyes <5869> shall behold <7200> the eyes <5869> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall speak <1696> with thee mouth <6310> to mouth <6310>, and thou shalt go <0935> to Babylon <0894>. 4 Yet <0389> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, O Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of thee, Thou shalt not die <4191> by the sword <2719>: 5 [But] thou shalt die <4191> in peace <7965>: and with the burnings <4955> of thy fathers <1>, the former <7223> kings <4428> which <0834> were before <6440> thee, so <3651> shall they burn <8313> [odours] for thee; and they will lament <5594> thee, [saying], Ah <1945> lord <0113>! for I have pronounced <1696> the word <1697>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 6 Then Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> spake <1696> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> unto Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> in Jerusalem <3389>, 7 When the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428> fought <3898> against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and against <5921> all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> that were left <3498>, against <0413> Lachish <3923>, and against <0413> Azekah <5825>: for these <2007> defenced <4013> cities <5892> remained <7604> of the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>. 8. [This is] the word <1697> that came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, after <0310> that the king <4428> Zedekiah <6667> had made <3772> a covenant <1285> with all <3605> the people <5971> which <0834> [were] at Jerusalem <3389>, to proclaim <7121> liberty <1865> unto them; 9 That every man <0376> should let his manservant <5650>, and every man <0376> his maidservant <8198>, [being] an Hebrew <5680> or an Hebrewess <5680>, go <7971> free <2670>; that none <1115> should serve <5647> himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew <3064> his brother <0251>. 10 Now when all <3605> the princes <8269>, and all <3605> the people <5971>, which <0834> had entered <0935> into the covenant <1285>, heard <8085> that every <0376> one <0376> should let his manservant <5650>, and every <0376> one <0376> his maidservant <8198>, go <7971> free <2670>, that none <1115> should serve <5647> themselves of them any more <5750>, then they obeyed <8085>, and let [them] go <7971>. 11 But afterward they turned <7725>, and caused the servants <5650> and the handmaids <8198>, whom <0834> they had let go <7971> free <2670>, to return <7725>, and brought <3533> them into subjection <3533> for servants <5650> and for handmaids <8198>. 12 Therefore the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 13 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; I made <3772> a covenant <1285> with your fathers <1> in the day <3117> that I brought <3318> them forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, out of the house <1004> of bondmen <5650>, saying <0559>, 14 At the end <7093> of seven <7651> years <8141> let ye go <7971> every man <0376> his brother <0251> an Hebrew <5680>, which <0834> hath been <1961> sold <4376> unto thee; and when he hath served <5647> thee six <8337> years <8141>, thou shalt let him go <7971> free <2670> from thee: but your fathers <1> hearkened <8085> not unto me, neither <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241>. 15 And ye were now <3117> turned <7725>, and had done <6213> right <3477> in my sight <5869>, in proclaiming <7121> liberty <1865> every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>; and ye had made <3772> a covenant <1285> before <6440> me in the house <1004> which <0834> is called <7121> by my name <8034>: 16 But ye turned <7725> and polluted <2490> my name <8034>, and caused every man <0376> his servant <5650>, and every man <0376> his handmaid <8198>, whom <0834> ye had set <7971> at liberty <2670> at their pleasure <5315>, to return <7725>, and brought <3533> them into subjection <3533>, to be unto you for servants <5650> and for handmaids <8198>. 17 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Ye have not hearkened <8085> unto me, in proclaiming <7121> liberty <1865>, every one <0376> to his brother <0251>, and every man <0376> to his neighbour <7453>: behold <2005>, I proclaim <7121> a liberty <1865> for you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, to the sword <2719>, to the pestilence <1698>, and to the famine <7458>; and I will make <5414> you to be removed <2189> into all <3605> the kingdoms <4467> of the earth <0776>. 18 And I will give <5414> the men <0582> that have transgressed <5674> my covenant <1285>, which <0834> have not performed <6965> the words <1697> of the covenant <1285> which <0834> they had made <3772> before <6440> me, when they cut <3772> the calf <5695> in twain <8147>, and passed <5674> between <0996> the parts <1335> thereof, 19 The princes <8269> of Judah <3063>, and the princes <8269> of Jerusalem <3389>, the eunuchs <5631>, and the priests <3548>, and all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776>, which passed <5674> between <0996> the parts <1335> of the calf <5695>; 20 I will even give <5414> them into the hand <3027> of their enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of them that seek <1245> their life <5315>: and their dead <5038> bodies <5038> shall be for meat <3978> unto the fowls <5775> of the heaven <8064>, and to the beasts <0929> of the earth <0776>. 21 And Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> and his princes <8269> will I give <5414> into the hand <3027> of their enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of them that seek <1245> their life <5315>, and into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428>, which are gone <5927> up from you. 22 Behold <2005>, I will command <6680>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and cause them to return <7725> to this <2063> city <5892>; and they shall fight <3898> against <5921> it, and take <3920> it, and burn <8313> it with fire <0784>: and I will make <5414> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> a desolation <8077> without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>. Jeremiah 35 1. The word <1697> which <0834> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068> in the days <3117> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, 2 Go <1980> unto the house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397>, and speak <1696> unto them, and bring <0935> them into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, into <0413> one <0259> of the chambers <3957>, and give them wine <3196> to drink <8248>. 3 Then I took <3947> Jaazaniah <2970> the son <1121> of Jeremiah <3414>, the son <1121> of Habaziniah <2262>, and his brethren <0251>, and all <3605> his sons <1121>, and the whole <3605> house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397>; 4 And I brought <0935> them into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, into <0413> the chamber <3957> of the sons <1121> of Hanan <2605>, the son <1121> of Igdaliah <3012>, a man <0376> of God <0430>, which <0834> [was] by the chamber <2315> of the princes <8269>, which <0834> [was] above <4605> the chamber <3957> of Maaseiah <4641> the son <1121> of Shallum <7967>, the keeper <8104> of the door <5592>: 5 And I set <5414> before <6440> the sons <1121> of the house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397> pots <1375> full <4392> of wine <3196>, and cups <3563>, and I said <0559> unto them, Drink <8354> ye wine <3196>. 6 But they said <0559>, We will drink <8354> no <3808> wine <3196>: for Jonadab <3122> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> our father <1> commanded <6680> us, saying <0559>, Ye shall drink <8354> no <3808> wine <3196>, [neither ye], nor your sons <1121> for ever <5769>: 7 Neither <3808> shall ye build <1129> house <1004>, nor <3808> sow <2232> seed <2233>, nor <3808> plant <5193> vineyard <3754>, nor <3808> have [any]: but all <3605> your days <3117> ye shall dwell <3427> in tents <0168>; that ye may live <2421> many <7227> days <3117> in the land <0127> where ye [be] strangers <1481>. 8 Thus have we obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of Jonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> our father <1> in all <3605> that he hath charged <6680> us, to drink <8354> no <1115> wine <3196> all <3605> our days <3117>, we, our wives <0802>, our sons <1121>, nor our daughters <1121>; 9 Nor <1115> to build <1129> houses <1004> for us to dwell <3427> in: neither <3808> have <1961> we vineyard <3754>, nor field <7704>, nor seed <2233>: 10 But we have dwelt <3427> in tents <0168>, and have obeyed <8085>, and done <6213> according to all <3605> that Jonadab <3122> our father <1> commanded <6680> us. 11 But it came <1961> to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> came <5927> up into <0413> the land <0776>, that we said <0559>, Come <0935>, and let us go <0935> to Jerusalem <3389> for fear <6440> of the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and for fear <6440> of the army <2428> of the Syrians <0758>: so we dwell <3427> at Jerusalem <3389>. 12. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 13 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Go <1980> and tell <0559> the men <0376> of Judah <3063> and the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, Will ye not receive <3947> instruction <4148> to hearken <8085> to my words <1697>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 14 The words <1697> of Jonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394>, that he commanded <6680> his sons <1121> not to drink <8354> wine <3196>, are performed <6965>; for unto this <2088> day <3117> they drink <8354> none <3808>, but obey <8085> their father's <1> commandment <4687>: notwithstanding I have spoken <1696> unto you, rising <7925> early <7925> and speaking <1696>; but ye hearkened <8085> not unto me. 15 I have sent <7971> also unto you all <3605> my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> up early <7925> and sending <7971> [them], saying <0559>, Return <7725> ye now <4994> every man <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>, and amend <3190> your doings <4611>, and go <3212> not after <0310> other <0312> gods <0430> to serve <5647> them, and ye shall dwell <3427> in the land <0127> which <0834> I have given <5414> to you and to your fathers <1>: but ye have not inclined <5186> your ear <0241>, nor <3808> hearkened <8085> unto me. 16 Because <3588> the sons <1121> of Jonadab <3082> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> have performed <6965> the commandment <4687> of their father <1>, which <0834> he commanded <6680> them; but this <2088> people <5971> hath not hearkened <8085> unto me: 17 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> upon Judah <3063> and upon all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389> all <3605> the evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1696> against <5921> them: because <3282> I have spoken <1696> unto them, but they have not heard <8085>; and I have called <7121> unto them, but they have not answered <6030>. 18 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto the house <1004> of the Rechabites <7397>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Because ye have obeyed <8085> the commandment <4687> of Jonadab <3082> your father <1>, and kept <8104> all <3605> his precepts <4687>, and done <6213> according unto all <3605> that he hath commanded <6680> you: 19 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Jonadab <3122> the son <1121> of Rechab <7394> shall not want <3772> a man <0376> to stand <5975> before <6440> me for ever. Jeremiah 36 1. And it came <1961> to pass in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, [that] this <2088> word <1697> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, saying <0559>, 2 Take <3947> thee a roll <4039> of a book <5612>, and write <3789> therein <0413> all <3605> the words <1697> that I have spoken <1696> unto thee against <5921> Israel <3478>, and against <5921> Judah <3063>, and against <5921> all <3605> the nations <1471>, from the day <3117> I spake <1696> unto thee, from the days <3117> of Josiah <2977>, even unto this <2088> day <3117>. 3 It may be that the house <1004> of Judah <3063> will hear <8085> all <3605> the evil <7451> which <0834> I purpose <2803> to do <6213> unto them; that they may return <7725> every man <0376> from his evil <7451> way <1870>; that I may forgive <5545> their iniquity <5771> and their sin <2403>. 4 Then Jeremiah <3414> called <7121> Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>: and Baruch <1263> wrote <3789> from the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414> all <3605> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he had spoken <1696> unto him, upon a roll <4039> of a book <5612>. 5 And Jeremiah <3414> commanded <6680> Baruch <1263>, saying <0559>, I [am] shut <6113> up; I cannot go <0935> into the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: 6 Therefore go <0935> thou, and read <7121> in the roll <4039>, which <0834> thou hast written <3789> from my mouth <6310>, the words <1697> of the LORD <3068> in the ears <0241> of the people <5971> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004> upon the fasting <6685> day <3117>: and also <1571> thou shalt read <7121> them in the ears <0241> of all <3605> Judah <3063> that come <0935> out of their cities <5892>. 7 It may be they will present <5307> their supplication <8467> before <6440> the LORD <3068>, and will return <7725> every <0376> one from his evil <7451> way <1870>: for great <1419> [is] the anger <0639> and the fury <2534> that the LORD <3068> hath pronounced <1696> against <0413> this <2088> people <5971>. 8 And Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374> did <6213> according to all <3605> that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> commanded <6680> him, reading <7121> in the book <5612> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068> in the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>. 9. And it came <1961> to pass in the fifth <2549> year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the ninth <8671> month <2320>, [that] they proclaimed <7121> a fast <6685> before <6440> the LORD <3068> to all <3605> the people <5971> in Jerusalem <3389>, and to all <3605> the people <5971> that came <0935> from the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> unto Jerusalem <3389>. 10 Then read <7121> Baruch <1263> in the book <5612> the words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, in the chamber <3957> of Gemariah <1587> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227> the scribe <5608>, in the higher <5945> court <2691>, at the entry <6607> of the new <2319> gate <8179> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>, in the ears <0241> of all <3605> the people <5971>. 11 When Michaiah <4321> the son <1121> of Gemariah <1587>, the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, had heard <8085> out of the book <5612> all <3605> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068>, 12 Then he went <3381> down <3381> into the king's <4428> house <1004>, into <5921> the scribe's <5608> chamber <3957>: and, lo <2009>, all <3605> the princes <8269> sat <3427> there <8033>, [even] Elishama <0476> the scribe <5608>, and Delaiah <1806> the son <1121> of Shemaiah <8098>, and Elnathan <0494> the son <1121> of Achbor <5907>, and Gemariah <1587> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, and Zedekiah <6667> the son <1121> of Hananiah <2608>, and all <3605> the princes <8269>. 13 Then Michaiah <4321> declared <5046> unto them all <3605> the words <1697> that he had heard <8085>, when Baruch <1263> read <7121> the book <5612> in the ears <0241> of the people <5971>. 14 Therefore all <3605> the princes <8269> sent <7971> Jehudi <3065> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018>, the son <1121> of Cushi <3569>, unto Baruch <1263>, saying <0559>, Take <3947> in thine hand <3027> the roll <4039> wherein <0834> thou hast read <7121> in the ears <0241> of the people <5971>, and come <3212>. So Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374> took <3947> the roll <4039> in his hand <3027>, and came <0935> unto them. 15 And they said <0559> unto him, Sit <3427> down now <4994>, and read <7121> it in our ears <0241>. So Baruch <1263> read <7121> [it] in their ears <0241>. 16 Now it came <1961> to pass, when they had heard <8085> all <3605> the words <1697>, they were afraid <6342> both <0413> one <0376> and other <7453>, and said <0559> unto Baruch <1263>, We will surely tell <5046> the king <4428> of all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>. 17 And they asked <7592> Baruch <1263>, saying <0559>, Tell <5046> us now <4994>, How <0349> didst thou write <3789> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> at his mouth <6310>? 18 Then Baruch <1263> answered <0559> them, He pronounced <7126> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> unto me with his mouth <6310>, and I wrote <3789> [them] with ink <1773> in the book <5612>. 19 Then said <0559> the princes <8269> unto Baruch <1263>, Go <3212>, hide <5641> thee, thou and Jeremiah <3414>; and let no <0408> man <0376> know <3045> where <0375> ye be. 20. And they went <0935> in to the king <4428> into the court <2691>, but they laid <6485> up the roll <4039> in the chamber <3957> of Elishama <0476> the scribe <5608>, and told <5046> all <3605> the words <1697> in the ears <0241> of the king <4428>. 21 So the king <4428> sent <7971> Jehudi <3065> to fetch <3947> the roll <4039>: and he took <3947> it out of Elishama <0476> the scribe's <5608> chamber <3957>. And Jehudi <3065> read <7121> it in the ears <0241> of the king <4428>, and in the ears <0241> of all <3605> the princes <8269> which stood <5975> beside <5921> the king <4428>. 22 Now the king <4428> sat <3427> in the winterhouse <2779> in the ninth <8671> month <2320>: and [there was a fire] on the hearth <0254> burning <1197> before <6440> him. 23 And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when Jehudi <3065> had read <7121> three <7969> or four <0702> leaves <1817>, he cut <7167> it with the penknife <8593>, and cast <7933> [it] into <0413> the fire <0784> that [was] on <0413> the hearth <0254>, until <5704> all <3605> the roll <4039> was consumed <8552> in the fire <0784> that [was] on <5921> the hearth <0254>. 24 Yet they were not afraid <6342>, nor <3808> rent <7167> their garments <0899>, [neither] the king <4428>, nor any <3605> of his servants <5650> that heard <8085> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>. 25 Nevertheless <1571> Elnathan <0494> and Delaiah <1806> and Gemariah <1587> had made intercession <6293> to the king <4428> that he would not burn <8313> the roll <4039>: but he would not hear <8085> them. 26 But the king <4428> commanded <6680> Jerahmeel <3396> the son <1121> of Hammelech <4429>, and Seraiah <8304> the son <1121> of Azriel <5837>, and Shelemiah <8018> the son <1121> of Abdeel <5655>, to take <3947> Baruch <1263> the scribe <5608> and Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>: but the LORD <3068> hid <5641> them. 27 Then the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414>, after <0310> that the king <4428> had burned <8313> the roll <4039>, and the words <1697> which <0834> Baruch <1263> wrote <3789> at the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 28 Take <3947> thee again <7725> another <0312> roll <4039>, and write <3789> in it all <3605> the former <7223> words <1697> that were in the first <7223> roll <4039>, which <0834> Jehoiakim <3079> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> hath burned <8313>. 29 And thou shalt say <0559> to Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Thou hast burned <8313> this <2063> roll <4039>, saying <0559>, Why <4069> hast thou written <3789> therein <5921>, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of Babylon <0894> shall certainly come <0935> and destroy <7843> this <2063> land <0776>, and shall cause to cease <7673> from thence man <0120> and beast <0929>? 30 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063>; He shall have <1961> none <3808> to sit <3427> upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>: and his dead <5038> body <5038> shall be cast <7933> out in the day <3117> to the heat <2721>, and in the night <3915> to the frost <7140>. 31 And I will punish <6485> him and his seed <2233> and his servants <5650> for their iniquity <5771>; and I will bring <0935> upon them, and upon the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, and upon the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, all <3605> the evil <7451> that I have pronounced <1691> against <0413> them; but they hearkened <8085> not. 32 Then took <3947> Jeremiah <3414> another <0312> roll <4039>, and gave <5414> it to Baruch <1263> the scribe <5608>, the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>; who wrote <3789> therein <5921> from the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414> all <3605> the words <1697> of the book <5612> which <0834> Jehoiakim <3079> king <4428> of Judah <3063> had burned <8313> in the fire <0784>: and there were added <3254> besides <5750> unto them many <7227> like <1922> words <1697>. Jeremiah 37 1. And king <4428> Zedekiah <6667> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> reigned <4427> instead <8478> of Coniah <3659> the son <1121> of Jehoiakim <3079>, whom <0834> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> made king <4428> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>. 2 But neither <3808> he, nor his servants <5650>, nor the people <5971> of the land <0776>, did hearken <8085> unto the words <1697> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> he spake <1696> by the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>. 3 And Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent <7971> Jehucal <3081> the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018> and Zephaniah <6846> the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4641> the priest <3548> to the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, Pray <6419> now <4994> unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430> for us. 4 Now Jeremiah <3414> came <0935> in and went <3318> out among <8432> the people <5971>: for they had not put <5414> him into prison. 5 Then Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428> was come <3318> forth <3318> out of Egypt <4714>: and when the Chaldeans <3778> that besieged <6696> Jerusalem <3389> heard <8085> tidings <8088> of them, they departed <5927> from Jerusalem <3389>. 6 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto the prophet <5030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Thus <3541> shall ye say <0559> to the king <4428> of Judah <3063>, that sent <7971> you unto me to enquire <1875> of me; Behold <2005>, Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428>, which is come <3318> forth <3318> to help <5833> you, shall return <7725> to Egypt <4714> into their own land <0776>. 8 And the Chaldeans <3778> shall come <7725> again <7725>, and fight <3898> against <5921> this <2063> city <5892>, and take <3920> it, and burn <8313> it with fire <0784>. 9 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Deceive <5377> not yourselves <5315>, saying <0559>, The Chaldeans <3778> shall surely depart <1980> from us: for they shall not depart <1980>. 10 For though <0518> ye had smitten <5221> the whole <3605> army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3778> that fight <3898> against you, and there remained <7604> [but] wounded <1856> men <0582> among them, [yet] should they rise <6965> up every man <0376> in his tent <0168>, and burn <8313> this <2063> city <5892> with fire <0784>. 11. And it came <1961> to pass, that when the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3778> was broken <5927> up from Jerusalem <3389> for fear <6440> of Pharaoh's <6547> army <2428>, 12 Then Jeremiah <3414> went <3318> forth <3318> out of Jerusalem <3389> to go <3212> into the land <0776> of Benjamin <1144>, to separate <2505> himself thence <8033> in the midst <8432> of the people <5971>. 13 And when he was in the gate <8179> of Benjamin <1144>, a captain <1167> of the ward <6488> [was] there <8033>, whose name <8034> [was] Irijah <3376>, the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018>, the son <1121> of Hananiah <2608>; and he took <8610> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>, Thou fallest <5307> away to the Chaldeans <3778>. 14 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414>, [It is] false <8267>; I fall <5307> not away to the Chaldeans <3778>. But he hearkened <8085> not to him: so Irijah <3376> took <8610> Jeremiah <3414>, and brought <0935> him to the princes <8269>. 15 Wherefore the princes <8269> were wroth <7107> with Jeremiah <3414>, and smote <5221> him, and put <5414> him in prison <0612> in the house <1004> of Jonathan <3083> the scribe <5608>: for they had made <6213> that the prison <3608>. 16 When <3588> Jeremiah <3414> was entered <0935> into <0413> the dungeon <0953>, and into <0413> the cabins <2588>, and Jeremiah <3414> had remained <3427> there <8033> many <7227> days <3117>; 17 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent <7971>, and took <3947> him out: and the king <4428> asked <7592> him secretly <5643> in his house <1004>, and said <0559>, Is there [any] word <1697> from the LORD <3068>? And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, There is: for, said <0559> he, thou shalt be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto king <4428> Zedekiah <6667>, What <4100> have I offended <2398> against thee, or against thy servants <5650>, or against this <2088> people <5971>, that ye have put <5414> me in prison? 19 Where <0346> [are] now your prophets <5030> which <0834> prophesied <5012> unto you, saying <0559>, The king <4428> of Babylon <0894> shall not come <0935> against <5921> you, nor against <5921> this <2063> land <0776>? 20 Therefore hear <8085> now <6254>, I pray <4994> thee, O my lord <0113> the king <4428>: let my supplication <8467>, I pray <4994> thee, be accepted <5307> before <6440> thee; that thou cause me not to return <7725> to the house <1004> of Jonathan <3083> the scribe <5608>, lest <3808> I die <4191> there <8033>. 21 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> commanded <6680> that they should commit <6458> Jeremiah <3414> into the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, and that they should give <5414> him daily <3117> a piece <3603> of bread <3899> out of the bakers <0644>' street <2351>, until <5704> all <3605> the bread <3899> in the city <5892> were spent <8552>. Thus Jeremiah <3414> remained <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>. Jeremiah 38 1. Then Shephatiah <8203> the son <1121> of Mattan <4977>, and Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Pashur <6583>, and Jucal <3116> the son <1121> of Shelemiah <8018>, and Pashur <6583> the son <1121> of Malchiah <4441>, heard <8085> the words <1697> that Jeremiah <3414> had spoken <1696> unto all <3605> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, He that remaineth <3427> in this <2063> city <5892> shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>: but he that goeth <3318> forth <3318> to the Chaldeans <3778> shall live <2421>; for he shall have his life <5315> for a prey <7998>, and shall live <2425>. 3 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, This <2063> city <5892> shall surely be given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> army <2428>, which shall take <3920> it. 4 Therefore the princes <8269> said <0559> unto the king <4428>, We beseech <4994> thee, let this <2088> man <0376> be put to death <4191>: for thus he weakeneth <7503> the hands <3027> of the men <0582> of war <4421> that remain <7604> in this <2063> city <5892>, and the hands <3027> of all <3605> the people <5971>, in speaking <1696> such <0428> words <1697> unto them: for this <2088> man <0376> seeketh <1875> not the welfare <7965> of this <2088> people <5971>, but the hurt <7451>. 5 Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> said <0559>, Behold <2009>, he [is] in your hand <3027>: for the king <4428> [is] not [he that] can <3201> do [any] thing <1697> against you. 6 Then took <3947> they Jeremiah <3414>, and cast <7933> him into <0413> the dungeon <0953> of Malchiah <4441> the son <1121> of Hammelech <4429>, that [was] in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>: and they let <7971> down <7971> Jeremiah <3414> with cords <2256>. And in the dungeon <0953> [there was] no <0369> water <4325>, but mire <2916>: so Jeremiah <3414> sunk <2883> in the mire <2916>. 7 Now when Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569>, one <0376> of the eunuchs <5631> which <1931> was in the king's <4428> house <1004>, heard <8085> that they had put <5414> Jeremiah <3414> in the dungeon <0953>; the king <4428> then sitting <3427> in the gate <8179> of Benjamin <1144>; 8 Ebedmelech <5663> went <3318> forth <3318> out of the king's <4428> house <1004>, and spake <1696> to the king <4428>, saying <0559>, 9 My lord <0113> the king <4428>, these <0428> men <0582> have done evil <7489> in all <3605> that they have done <6213> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, whom they have cast <7933> into <0413> the dungeon <0953>; and he is like to die <4191> for hunger <7457> in the place <8478> where <8478> he is: for [there is] no <0369> more <5750> bread <3899> in the city <5892>. 10 Then the king <4428> commanded <6680> Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569>, saying <0559>, Take <3947> from hence <2088> thirty <7970> men <0582> with thee, and take <3947> up Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> out of the dungeon <0953>, before <2962> he die <4191>. 11 So Ebedmelech <5663> took <3947> the men <0582> with him, and went <0935> into the house <1004> of the king <4428> under the treasury <0214>, and took <3947> thence <8033> old <1094> cast <5499> clouts <5499> and old <1094> rotten <4418> rags <4418>, and let <7971> them down <7971> by cords <2256> into <0413> the dungeon <0953> to Jeremiah <3414>. 12 And Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569> said <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414>, Put <7760> now <4994> [these] old <1094> cast <5499> clouts <5499> and rotten <4418> rags <4418> under <8478> thine armholes under <8478> the cords <2256>. And Jeremiah <3414> did <6213> so <3651>. 13 So they drew <4900> up Jeremiah <3414> with cords <2256>, and took <5927> him up out of the dungeon <0953>: and Jeremiah <3414> remained <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>. 14. Then Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sent <7971>, and took <3947> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> unto him into <0413> the third <7992> entry <3996> that [is] in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: and the king <4428> said <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414>, I will ask <7592> thee a thing <1697>; hide <3582> nothing from me. 15 Then Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto Zedekiah <6667>, If <0518> I declare <5046> [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death <4191>? and if <0518> I give thee counsel <3289>, wilt thou not hearken <8085> unto me? 16 So Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> sware <7650> secretly <5643> unto Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, [As] the LORD <3068> liveth <2416>, that made <6213> us this <2063> soul <5315>, I will not put thee to death <4191>, neither <0518> will I give <5414> thee into the hand <3027> of these <0428> men <0582> that seek <1245> thy life <5315>. 17 Then said <0559> Jeremiah <3414> unto Zedekiah <6667>, Thus saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; If <0518> thou wilt assuredly <3318> go <3318> forth <3318> unto the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <8269>, then thy soul <5315> shall live <2421>, and this <2063> city <5892> shall not be burned <8313> with fire <0784>; and thou shalt live <2421>, and thine house <1004>: 18 But if <0518> thou wilt not go <3318> forth <3318> to the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <8269>, then shall this <2063> city <5892> be given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and they shall burn <8313> it with fire <0784>, and thou shalt not escape <4422> out of their hand <3027>. 19 And Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> said <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414>, I am afraid <1672> of the Jews <3064> that are fallen <5307> to the Chaldeans <3778>, lest <6435> they deliver <5414> me into their hand <3027>, and they mock <5953> me. 20 But Jeremiah <3414> said <0559>, They shall not deliver <5414> [thee]. Obey <8085>, I beseech <4994> thee, the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>, which <0834> I speak <1696> unto thee: so it shall be well <3190> unto thee, and thy soul <5315> shall live <2421>. 21 But if thou refuse <3986> to go <3318> forth <3318>, this <2088> [is] the word <1697> that the LORD <3068> hath shewed <7200> me: 22 And, behold <2009>, all <3605> the women <0802> that are left <7604> in the king <4428> of Judah's <3063> house <1004> [shall be] brought <3318> forth <4163> to the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <8269>, and those <2007> [women] shall say <0559>, Thy friends have set <5496> thee on, and have prevailed <3201> against thee: thy feet <7272> are sunk <2883> in the mire <1206>, [and] they are turned <5472> away back <0268>. 23 So they shall bring <4672> out all <3605> thy wives <0802> and thy children <1121> to the Chaldeans <3778>: and thou shalt not escape <4422> out of their hand <3027>, but shalt be taken <8610> by the hand <3027> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>: and thou shalt cause this <2063> city <5892> to be burned <8313> with fire <0784>. 24 Then said <0559> Zedekiah <6667> unto Jeremiah <3414>, Let no <0408> man <0376> know <3045> of these <0428> words <1697>, and thou shalt not die <4191>. 25 But if <3588> the princes <8269> hear <8085> that I have talked <1696> with thee, and they come <0935> unto thee, and say <0559> unto thee, Declare <5046> unto us now <4994> what <4100> thou hast said <1696> unto the king <4428>, hide <3582> it not from us, and we will not put thee to death <4191>; also what <4100> the king <4428> said <1696> unto thee: 26 Then thou shalt say <0559> unto them, I presented <5307> my supplication <8467> before <6440> the king <4428>, that he would not cause me to return <7725> to Jonathan's <3129> house <1004>, to die <4191> there <8033>. 27 Then came <0935> all <3605> the princes <8269> unto Jeremiah <3414>, and asked <7592> him: and he told <5046> them according to all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> that the king <4428> had commanded <6680>. So they left <2790> off speaking <2790> with him; for the matter <1697> was not perceived <8085>. 28 So Jeremiah <3414> abode <3427> in the court <2691> of the prison <4307> until <5704> the day <3117> that Jerusalem <3389> was taken <3920>: and he was [there] when <0834> Jerusalem <3389> was taken <3920>. Jeremiah 39 1. In the ninth <8671> year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the tenth <6224> month <2320>, came <0935> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> and all <3605> his army <2428> against <0413> Jerusalem <3389>, and they besieged <6696> it. 2 [And] in the eleventh year <8141> of Zedekiah <6667>, in the fourth <7243> month <2320>, the ninth <8672> [day <3117>] of the month <2320>, the city <5892> was broken <1234> up. 3 And all <3605> the princes <8269> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935> in, and sat <3427> in the middle <8484> gate <8179>, [even] Nergalsharezer <5371>, Samgarnebo <5562>, Sarsechim <8310>, Rabsaris <7249>, Nergalsharezer <5371>, Rabmag <7248>, with all <3605> the residue <7611> of the princes <8269> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 4 And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when <0834> Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> saw <7200> them, and all <3605> the men <0582> of war <4421>, then they fled <1272>, and went <3318> forth <3318> out of the city <5892> by night <3915>, by the way <1870> of the king's <4428> garden <1588>, by the gate <8179> betwixt <0996> the two <8147> walls <2346>: and he went <3318> out the way <1870> of the plain <6160>. 5 But the Chaldeans <3778>' army <2428> pursued <7291> after <0310> them, and overtook <5381> Zedekiah <6667> in the plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>: and when they had taken <3947> him, they brought <5927> him up to Nebuchadnezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <2574>, where he gave <1696> judgment <4941> upon him. 6 Then the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew <7819> the sons <1121> of Zedekiah <6667> in Riblah <7247> before his eyes <5869>: also the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew <7819> all <3605> the nobles <2715> of Judah <3063>. 7 Moreover he put <5786> out Zedekiah's eyes <5869>, and bound <0631> him with chains <5178>, to carry <0935> him to Babylon <0894>. 8 And the Chaldeans <3778> burned <8313> the king's <4428> house <1004>, and the houses <1004> of the people <5971>, with fire <0784>, and brake <5422> down <5422> the walls <2346> of Jerusalem <3389>. 9 Then Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> carried <1540> away captive <1540> into Babylon <0894> the remnant <3499> of the people <5971> that remained <7604> in the city <5892>, and those that fell <5307> away, that fell <5307> to him, with the rest <3499> of the people <5971> that remained <7604>. 10 But Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain of the guard <2876> left <7604> of the poor <1800> of the people <5971>, which <0834> had nothing, in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and gave <5414> them vineyards <3754> and fields <3010> at the same <1931> time <3117>. 11. Now Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> gave charge <6680> concerning <5921> Jeremiah <3414> to Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>, saying <0559>, 12 Take <3947> him, and look <7760> well to him, and do <6213> him no <0408> harm <7451>; but do <6213> unto him even <3651> as he shall say <1696> unto thee. 13 So Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> sent <7971>, and Nebushasban <5021>, Rabsaris <7249>, and Nergalsharezer <5371>, Rabmag <7248>, and all <3605> the king <4428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <7227>; 14 Even they sent <7971>, and took <3947> Jeremiah <3414> out of the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, and committed <5414> him unto Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, that he should carry <3318> him home <1004>: so he dwelt <3427> among <8432> the people <5971>. 15 Now the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414>, while he was shut <6113> up in the court <2691> of the prison <4307>, saying <0559>, 16 Go <1980> and speak <0559> to Ebedmelech <5663> the Ethiopian <3569>, saying <0559>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> my words <1697> upon this <2063> city <5892> for evil <7451>, and not for good <2896>; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day <3117> before <6440> thee. 17 But I will deliver <5337> thee in that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: and thou shalt not be given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the men <0582> of whom thou [art] afraid <3025>. 18 For I will surely deliver <4422> thee, and thou shalt not fall <5307> by the sword <2719>, but thy life <5315> shall be for a prey <7998> unto thee: because <3588> thou hast put thy trust <0982> in me, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 40 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> from the LORD <3068>, after <0310> that Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> had let him go <7971> from Ramah <7414>, when he had taken <3947> him being bound <0631> in chains <0246> among <8432> all <3605> that were carried <1546> away captive <1546> of Jerusalem <3389> and Judah <3063>, which were carried <1540> away captive <1540> unto Babylon <0894>. 2 And the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> took <3947> Jeremiah <3414>, and said <0559> unto him, The LORD <3068> thy God <0430> hath pronounced <1691> this <2063> evil <7451> upon this <2088> place <4725>. 3 Now the LORD <3068> hath brought <0935> [it], and done <6213> according as he hath said <1696>: because <3588> ye have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>, and have not obeyed <8085> his voice <6963>, therefore this <2088> thing <1697> is come <1961> upon you. 4 And now <6258>, behold <2009>, I loose <6605> thee this day <3117> from the chains <0246> which <0834> [were] upon thine hand <3027>. If <0518> it seem <5869> good <2896> unto thee to come <0935> with me into Babylon <0894>, come <0935>; and I will look <7760> well unto thee: but if <0518> it seem <5869> ill <7489> unto thee to come <0935> with me into Babylon <0894>, forbear <2308>: behold <7200>, all <3605> the land <0776> [is] before <6440> thee: whither <0413> it seemeth <5869> good <2896> and convenient <3477> for thee to go <3212>, thither <8033> go <3212>. 5 Now while he was not yet <5750> gone <7725> back <7725>, [he said], Go <7725> back <7725> also to Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath made governor <6485> over the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and dwell <3427> with him among <8432> the people <5971>: or <0176> go <3212> wheresoever it seemeth <5869> convenient <3477> unto thee to go <3212>. So the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> gave <5414> him victuals <0737> and a reward <4864>, and let him go <7971>. 6 Then went <0935> Jeremiah <3414> unto Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> to Mizpah <4708>; and dwelt <3427> with him among <8432> the people <5971> that were left <7604> in the land <0776>. 7. Now when all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> which <0834> [were] in the fields <7704>, [even] they and their men <0582>, heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> had made Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> governor <6485> in the land <0776>, and had committed <6485> unto him men <0582>, and women <0802>, and children <2945>, and of the poor <1803> of the land <0776>, of them that were not carried <1540> away captive <1540> to Babylon <0894>; 8 Then they came <0935> to Gedaliah <1436> to Mizpah <4708>, even Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, and Johanan <3110> and Jonathan <3129> the sons <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and Seraiah <8304> the son <1121> of Tanhumeth <8576>, and the sons <1121> of Ephai <5778> the Netophathite <5200>, and Jezaniah <3153> the son <1121> of a Maachathite <4602>, they and their men <0582>. 9 And Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227> sware <7650> unto them and to their men <0582>, saying <0559>, Fear <3372> not to serve <5647> the Chaldeans <3778>: dwell <3427> in the land <0776>, and serve <5647> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and it shall be well <3190> with you. 10 As for me, behold <2005>, I will dwell <3427> at Mizpah <4708> to serve <5975> the Chaldeans <3778>, which <0834> will come <0935> unto us: but ye, gather <0622> ye wine <3196>, and summer <7019> fruits, and oil <8081>, and put <7760> [them] in your vessels <3627>, and dwell <3427> in your cities <5892> that ye have taken <8610>. 11 Likewise <1571> when all <3605> the Jews <3064> that [were] in Moab <4124>, and among the Ammonites <5984>, and in Edom <0123>, and that [were] in all <3605> the countries <0776>, heard <8085> that the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> had left <5414> a remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, and that he had set <6485> over <5921> them Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>; 12 Even all <3605> the Jews <3064> returned <7725> out of all <3605> places <4725> whither they were driven <5080>, and came <0935> to the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, to Gedaliah <1436>, unto Mizpah <4708>, and gathered <0622> wine <3196> and summer <7019> fruits very <3966> much <7335>. 13 Moreover Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> that [were] in the fields <7704>, came <0935> to Gedaliah <1436> to Mizpah <4708>, 14 And said <0559> unto him, Dost thou certainly know <3045> that Baalis <1185> the king <4428> of the Ammonites <5984> hath sent <7971> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> to slay thee? But Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> believed <0539> them not. 15 Then Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143> spake <0559> to Gedaliah <1436> in Mizpah <4709> secretly <5643>, saying <0559>, Let me go <3212>, I pray thee, and I will slay <5221> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, and no <3808> man <0376> shall know <3045> [it]: wherefore <4100> should he slay <5221> thee, that all <3605> the Jews <3064> which are gathered <6908> unto thee should be scattered <6327>, and the remnant <7611> in Judah <3063> perish <6>? 16 But Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> said <0559> unto Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, Thou shalt not do <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>: for thou speakest <1696> falsely <8267> of Ishmael <3458>. Jeremiah 41 1. Now it came <1961> to pass in the seventh <7637> month <2320>, [that] Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> the son <1121> of Elishama <0476>, of the seed <2233> royal <4410>, and the princes <7227> of the king <4428>, even ten <6235> men <0582> with him, came <0935> unto Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> to Mizpah <4709>; and there <8033> they did <6213> eat <0398> bread <3899> together <3162> in Mizpah <4709>. 2 Then arose <6965> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, and the ten <6235> men <0582> that were with him, and smote <5221> Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227> with the sword <2719>, and slew <4191> him, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> had made governor <6485> over the land <0776>. 3 Ishmael <3458> also slew <5221> all <3605> the Jews <3064> that were with him, [even] with Gedaliah <1436>, at Mizpah <4709>, and the Chaldeans <3778> that were found <4672> there <8033>, [and] the men <0582> of war <4421>. 4 And it came <1961> to pass the second <8145> day <3117> after he had slain <4191> Gedaliah <1436>, and no <3808> man <0376> knew <3045> [it], 5 That there came <0935> certain <0582> from Shechem <7927>, from Shiloh <7887>, and from Samaria <8111>, [even] fourscore <8084> men <0376>, having their beards <2206> shaven <1548>, and their clothes <0899> rent <7167>, and having cut <1413> themselves, with offerings <4503> and incense <3828> in their hand <3027>, to bring <0935> [them] to the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. 6 And Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> went <3318> forth <3318> from Mizpah <4709> to meet <7125> them, weeping <1058> all along <1980> as he went <1980>: and it came <1961> to pass, as he met <6298> them, he said <0559> unto them, Come <0935> to Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>. 7 And it was [so], when they came <0935> into <0413> the midst <8432> of the city <5892>, that Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> slew <7819> them, [and cast them] into <0413> the midst <8432> of the pit <0953>, he, and the men <0582> that [were] with him. 8 But ten <6235> men <0582> were found <4672> among them that said <0559> unto Ishmael <3458>, Slay <4191> us not: for we have <3426> treasures <4301> in the field <7704>, of wheat <2406>, and of barley <8184>, and of oil <8081>, and of honey <1706>. So he forbare <2308>, and slew <4191> them not among <8432> their brethren <0251>. 9 Now the pit <0953> wherein <0834> Ishmael <3458> had cast <7993> all <3605> the dead <6297> bodies <6297> of the men <0582>, whom <0834> he had slain <5221> because <3027> of Gedaliah <1436>, [was] it which <0834> Asa <0609> the king <4428> had made <6213> for fear <6440> of Baasha <1201> king <4428> of Israel <3478>: [and] Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> filled <4390> it with [them that were] slain <2491>. 10 Then Ishmael <3458> carried <7617> away captive <7617> all <3605> the residue <7611> of the people <5971> that [were] in Mizpah <4709>, [even <0853>] the king's <4428> daughters <1121>, and all <3605> the people <5971> that remained <7604> in Mizpah <4709>, whom <0834> Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> had committed <6485> to Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>: and Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> carried <7617> them away captive <7617>, and departed <3212> to go <5674> over <5674> to the Ammonites <5984>. 11. But when Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> that [were] with him, heard <8085> of all <3605> the evil <7451> that Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> had done <6213>, 12 Then they took <3947> all <3605> the men <0582>, and went <3212> to fight <3898> with Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, and found <4672> him by the great <7227> waters <4325> that [are] in Gibeon <1391>. 13 Now it came <1961> to pass, [that] when all <3605> the people <5971> which <0834> [were] with Ishmael <3458> saw <7200> Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> that [were] with him, then they were glad <8056>. 14 So all <3605> the people <5971> that Ishmael <3458> had carried <7617> away captive <7617> from Mizpah <4709> cast <5437> about <5437> and returned <7725>, and went <3212> unto Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>. 15 But Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> escaped <4422> from Johanan <3110> with eight <8083> men <0582>, and went <3212> to the Ammonites <5984>. 16 Then took <3947> Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> that [were] with him, all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the people <5971> whom <0834> he had recovered <7725> from Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418>, from Mizpah <4709>, after <0310> [that] he had slain <5221> Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>, [even] mighty <1397> men <0582> of war <4421>, and the women <0802>, and the children <2945>, and the eunuchs <5631>, whom <0834> he had brought <7725> again <7725> from Gibeon <1391>: 17 And they departed <3212>, and dwelt <3427> in the habitation <1628> of Chimham <3643>, which <0834> is by Bethlehem <1035>, to go <3212> to enter <0935> into Egypt <4714>, 18 Because <6440> of the Chaldeans <3778>: for they were afraid <3372> of them, because <3588> Ishmael <3458> the son <1121> of Nethaniah <5418> had slain <5221> Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296>, whom <0834> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> made governor <6485> in the land <0776>. Jeremiah 42 1. Then all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>, and Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and Jezaniah <3153> the son <1121> of Hoshaiah <1955>, and all <3605> the people <5971> from the least <6996> even unto the greatest <1419>, came <5066> near <5066>, 2 And said <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, Let, we beseech <4994> thee, our supplication <8467> be accepted <5307> before <6440> thee, and pray <6419> for us unto the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>, [even] for all <3605> this <2063> remnant <7611>; (for we are left <7604> [but] a few <4592> of many <7235>, as thine eyes <5869> do behold <7200> us:) 3 That the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> may shew <5046> us the way <1870> wherein <0834> we may walk <1980>, and the thing <1697> that we may do <6213>. 4 Then Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> said <0559> unto them, I have heard <8085> [you]; behold <2005>, I will pray <6419> unto the LORD <3068> your God <0430> according to your words <1697>; and it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] whatsoever <3605> thing <1697> the LORD <3068> shall answer <6030> you, I will declare <5046> [it] unto you; I will keep <4513> nothing back <4513> from you. 5 Then they said <0559> to Jeremiah <3414>, The LORD <3068> be a true <0571> and faithful <0539> witness <5707> between <0996> us, if we do <6213> not even <3651> according to all <3605> things <1697> for the which <0834> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> shall send <7971> thee to us. 6 Whether <0518> [it be] good <2896>, or whether <0518> [it be] evil <7451>, we will obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, to whom we send <7971> thee; that it may be well <2896> with us, when <3588> we obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. 7. And it came <1961> to pass after <7093> ten <6235> days <3117>, that the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came <1961> unto Jeremiah <3414>. 8 Then called <7121> he Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428> which <0834> [were] with him, and all <3605> the people <5971> from the least <6996> even to the greatest <1419>, 9 And said <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, unto whom ye sent <7971> me to present <5307> your supplication <8467> before <6440> him; 10 If <0518> ye will still abide <3427> in this <2063> land <0776>, then will I build <1129> you, and not pull <2040> [you] down, and I will plant <5193> you, and not pluck <5428> [you] up: for I repent <5162> me of the evil <7451> that I have done <6213> unto you. 11 Be not afraid <3372> of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, of whom ye are afraid <3373>; be not afraid <3372> of him, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: for I [am] with you to save <3467> you, and to deliver <5337> you from his hand <3027>. 12 And I will shew <5414> mercies <7356> unto you, that he may have mercy <7355> upon you, and cause you to return <7725> to your own land <0127>. 13 But if <0518> ye say <0559>, We will not dwell <3427> in this <2063> land <0776>, neither <1115> obey <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, 14 Saying <0559>, No <3808>; but we will go <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, where <0834> we shall see <7200> no <3808> war <4421>, nor <3808> hear <8085> the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>, nor <3808> have hunger <7456> of bread <3899>; and there <8033> will we dwell <3427>: 15 And now <6258> therefore <3651> hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, ye remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>; Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; If <0518> ye wholly <7760> set <7760> your faces <6440> to enter <0935> into Egypt <4714>, and go <0935> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>; 16 Then it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] the sword <2719>, which <0834> ye feared <3373>, shall overtake <5381> you there <8033> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, and the famine <7458>, whereof <0834> ye were afraid <1672>, shall follow <1692> close <1692> after <0310> you there <8033> in Egypt <4714>; and there <8033> ye shall die <4191>. 17 So shall it be with all <3605> the men <0582> that set <7760> their faces <6440> to go <0935> into <0935> Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>; they shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>: and none <3808> of them shall remain <8300> or escape <6412> from the evil <7451> that I will bring <0935> upon them. 18 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; As mine anger <0639> and my fury <2534> hath been poured <5413> forth upon the inhabitants <3427> of Jerusalem <3389>; so <3651> shall my fury <2534> be poured <5413> forth upon you, when ye shall enter <0935> into <0935> Egypt <4714>: and ye shall be an execration <0423>, and an astonishment <8047>, and a curse <7045>, and a reproach <2781>; and ye shall see <7200> this <2088> place <4725> no <3808> more <5750>. 19 The LORD <3068> hath said <1696> concerning <5921> you, O ye remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>; Go <0935> ye not into Egypt <4714>: know <3045> certainly that I have admonished <5749> you this day <3117>. 20 For ye dissembled <8582> in your hearts <5315>, when <3588> ye sent <7971> me unto the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, saying <0559>, Pray <6419> for us unto the LORD <3068> our God <0430>; and according unto all <3605> that the LORD <3068> our God <0430> shall say <0559>, so <3651> declare <5046> unto us, and we will do <6213> [it]. 21 And [now] I have this day <3117> declared <5046> [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, nor any <3605> [thing] for the which <0834> he hath sent <7971> me unto you. 22 Now <6258> therefore know <3045> certainly that ye shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>, in the place <4725> whither ye desire <2654> to go <0935> [and] to sojourn <1481>. Jeremiah 43 1. And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when Jeremiah <3414> had made an end <3615> of speaking <1696> unto all <3605> the people <5971> all <3605> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068> their God <0430>, for which <0834> the LORD <3068> their God <0430> had sent <7971> him to them, [even <0853>] all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>, 2 Then spake <0559> Azariah <5838> the son <1121> of Hoshaiah <1955>, and Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the proud <2086> men <0582>, saying <0559> unto Jeremiah <3414>, Thou speakest <1696> falsely <8267>: the LORD <3068> our God <0430> hath not sent <7971> thee to say <0559>, Go <0935> not into Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>: 3 But Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374> setteth <5496> thee on against us, for to deliver <5414> us into the hand <3027> of the Chaldeans <3778>, that they might put us to death <4191>, and carry <1540> us away captives <1540> into Babylon <0894>. 4 So Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>, and all <3605> the people <5971>, obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>, to dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>. 5 But Johanan <3110> the son <1121> of Kareah <7143>, and all <3605> the captains <8269> of the forces <2428>, took <3947> all <3605> the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, that were returned <7725> from all <3605> nations <1471>, whither they had been driven <5080>, to dwell <1481> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>; 6 [Even <0853>] men <1397>, and women <0802>, and children <2945>, and the king's <4428> daughters <1121>, and every <3605> person <5315> that Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> had left <3240> with Gedaliah <1436> the son <1121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <1121> of Shaphan <8227>, and Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, and Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>. 7 So they came <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>: for they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>: thus came <0935> they [even] to Tahpanhes <8471>. 8. Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> unto Jeremiah <3414> in Tahpanhes <8471>, saying <0559>, 9 Take <3947> great <1419> stones <68> in thine hand <3027>, and hide <2934> them in the clay <4423> in the brickkiln <4404>, which <0834> [is] at the entry <6607> of Pharaoh's <6547> house <1004> in Tahpanhes <8471>, in the sight <5869> of the men <0582> of Judah <3064>; 10 And say <0559> unto them, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will send <7971> and take <3947> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant <5650>, and will set <7760> his throne <3678> upon these <0428> stones <68> that I have hid <2934>; and he shall spread <5186> his royal <8237> pavilion <8237> over <5921> them. 11 And when he cometh <0935>, he shall smite <5221> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, [and deliver] such [as are] for death <4194> to death <4194>; and such [as are] for captivity <7628> to captivity <7628>; and such [as are] for the sword <2719> to the sword <2719>. 12 And I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the houses <1004> of the gods <0430> of Egypt <4714>; and he shall burn <8313> them, and carry <7617> them away captives <7617>: and he shall array <5844> himself with the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, as a shepherd <7462> putteth <5844> on his garment <0899>; and he shall go <3318> forth <3318> from thence <8033> in peace <7965>. 13 He shall break <7665> also the images <4676> of Bethshemesh <1053>, that [is] in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; and the houses <1004> of the gods <0430> of the Egyptians <4714> shall he burn <8313> with fire <0784>. Jeremiah 44 1. The word <1697> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> concerning <0413> all <3605> the Jews <3064> which dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, which dwell <3427> at Migdol <4024>, and at Tahpanhes <8471>, and at Noph <5297>, and in the country <0776> of Pathros <6624>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Ye have seen <7200> all <3605> the evil <7451> that I have brought <0935> upon Jerusalem <3389>, and upon all <3605> the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>; and, behold <2009>, this <2088> day <3117> they [are] a desolation <2723>, and no <0369> man dwelleth <3427> therein, 3 Because <6440> of their wickedness <7451> which <0834> they have committed <6213> to provoke me to anger <3707>, in that they went <3212> to burn <6999> incense <6999>, [and] to serve <5647> other <0312> gods <0430>, whom <0834> they knew <3045> not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers <1>. 4 Howbeit I sent <7971> unto you all <3605> my servants <5650> the prophets <5030>, rising <7925> early <7925> and sending <7971> [them], saying <0559>, Oh <4994>, do <6213> not this <2088> abominable <8441> thing <1697> that I hate <8130>. 5 But they hearkened <8085> not, nor <3808> inclined <5186> their ear <0241> to turn <7725> from their wickedness <7451>, to burn <6999> no <1115> incense <6999> unto other <0312> gods <0430>. 6 Wherefore my fury <2534> and mine anger <0639> was poured <5413> forth, and was kindled <1197> in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063> and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>; and they are wasted <2723> [and] desolate <8077>, as at this <2088> day <3117>. 7 Therefore now <6258> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Wherefore <4100> commit <6213> ye [this] great <1419> evil <7451> against <0413> your souls <5315>, to cut <3772> off from you man <0376> and woman <0802>, child <5768> and suckling <3243>, out of Judah <3063>, to leave <3498> you none <1115> to remain <7611>; 8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath <3707> with the works <4639> of your hands <3027>, burning <6999> incense <6999> unto other <0312> gods <0430> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, whither ye be gone <0935> to dwell <1481>, that ye might cut <3772> yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse <7045> and a reproach <2781> among all <3605> the nations <1471> of the earth <0776>? 9 Have ye forgotten <7911> the wickedness <7451> of your fathers <1>, and the wickedness <7451> of the kings <4428> of Judah <3063>, and the wickedness <7451> of their wives <0802>, and your own wickedness <7451>, and the wickedness <7451> of your wives <0802>, which <0834> they have committed <6213> in the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>? 10 They are not humbled <1792> [even] unto this <2088> day <3117>, neither <3808> have they feared <3372>, nor <3808> walked <1980> in my law <8451>, nor in my statutes <2708>, that I set <5414> before <6440> you and before <6440> your fathers <1>. 11 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will set <7760> my face <6440> against you for evil <7451>, and to cut <3772> off all <3605> Judah <3063>. 12 And I will take <3947> the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, that have set <7760> their faces <6440> to go <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>, and they shall all <3605> be consumed <8552>, [and] fall <5307> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; they shall [even] be consumed <8552> by the sword <2719> [and] by the famine <7458>: they shall die <4191>, from the least <6996> even unto the greatest <1419>, by the sword <2719> and by the famine <7458>: and they shall be an execration <0423>, [and] an astonishment <8047>, and a curse <7045>, and a reproach <2781>. 13 For I will punish <6485> them that dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, as I have punished <6485> Jerusalem <3389>, by the sword <2719>, by the famine <7458>, and by the pestilence <1698>: 14 So that none <3808> of the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, which are gone <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>, shall escape <6412> or remain <8300>, that they should return <7725> into the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, to the which <0834> they have <5375> a desire to return <7725> to dwell <3427> there <8033>: for none <3808> shall return <7725> but such as shall escape <6412>. 15. Then all <3605> the men <0582> which knew <3045> that their wives <0802> had burned <6999> incense <6999> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, and all <3605> the women <0802> that stood <5975> by, a great <1419> multitude <6951>, even all <3605> the people <5971> that dwelt <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, in Pathros <6624>, answered <6030> Jeremiah <3414>, saying <0559>, 16 [As for] the word <1697> that thou hast spoken <1696> unto us in the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, we will not hearken <8085> unto thee. 17 But we will certainly do <6213> whatsoever thing <1697> goeth <3318> forth <3318> out of our own mouth <6310>, to burn <6999> incense <6999> unto the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her, as we have done <6213>, we, and our fathers <1>, our kings <4428>, and our princes <8269>, in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>: for [then] had <1961> we plenty <7646> of victuals <3899>, and were well <2896>, and saw <7200> no <3808> evil <7451>. 18 But since we left <2308> off to burn <6999> incense <6999> to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her, we have wanted <2637> all <3605> [things], and have been consumed <8552> by the sword <2719> and by the famine <7458>. 19 And when <3588> we burned <6999> incense <6999> to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and poured <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her, did we make <6213> her cakes <3561> to worship <6087> her, and pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her, without <1107> our men <0582>? 20. Then Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto all <3605> the people <5971>, to the men <1397>, and to the women <0802>, and to all <3605> the people <5971> which had given him [that] answer <6030>, saying <0559>, 21 The incense <7002> that ye burned <6999> in the cities <5892> of Judah <3063>, and in the streets <2351> of Jerusalem <3389>, ye, and your fathers <1>, your kings <4428>, and your princes <8269>, and the people <5971> of the land <0776>, did not the LORD <3068> remember <2142> them, and came <5927> it [not] into <5921> his mind <3820>? 22 So that the LORD <3068> could <3201> no <3808> longer <5750> bear <5375>, because <6440> of the evil <7455> of your doings <4611>, [and] because <6440> of the abominations <8441> which <0834> ye have committed <6213>; therefore is your land <0776> a desolation <2723>, and an astonishment <8047>, and a curse <7045>, without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>, as at this <2088> day <3117>. 23 Because ye have burned <6999> incense <6999>, and because <0834> ye have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>, and have not obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>, nor <3808> walked <1980> in his law <8451>, nor in his statutes <2708>, nor in his testimonies <5715>; therefore this <2063> evil <7451> is happened <7122> unto you, as at this <2088> day <3117>. 24 Moreover Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> unto all <3605> the people <5971>, and to all <3605> the women <0802>, Hear <8085> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, all <3605> Judah <3063> that [are] in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>: 25 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saying <0559>; Ye and your wives <0802> have both spoken <1696> with your mouths <6310>, and fulfilled <4390> with your hand <3027>, saying <0559>, We will surely perform <6213> our vows <5088> that we have vowed <5087>, to burn <6999> incense <6999> to the queen <4446> of heaven <8064>, and to pour <5258> out drink <5262> offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish <6965> your vows <5088>, and surely perform <6213> your vows <5088>. 26 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> ye the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>, all <3605> Judah <3063> that dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>; Behold <2005>, I have sworn <7650> by my great <1419> name <8034>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, that my name <8034> shall no <0518> more <5750> be named <7121> in the mouth <6310> of any <3605> man <0376> of Judah <3063> in all <3605> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, saying <0559>, The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> liveth <2416>. 27 Behold <2005>, I will watch <8245> over <5921> them for evil <7451>, and not for good <2896>: and all <3605> the men <0376> of Judah <3063> that [are] in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> shall be consumed <8552> by the sword <2719> and by the famine <7458>, until <5704> there be an end <3615> of them. 28 Yet a small <4962> number <4557> that escape <6412> the sword <2719> shall return <7725> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> into the land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and all <3605> the remnant <7611> of Judah <3063>, that are gone <0935> into the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> to sojourn <1481> there <8033>, shall know <3045> whose <4310> words <1697> shall stand <6965>, mine, or theirs <1992>. 29 And this <2063> [shall be] a sign <0226> unto you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will punish <6485> you in this <2088> place <4725>, that ye may know <3045> that my words <1697> shall surely stand <6965> against <5921> you for evil <7451>: 30 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will give <5414> Pharaohhophra <6548> king <4428> of Egypt <4714> into the hand <3027> of his enemies <0341>, and into the hand <3027> of them that seek <1245> his life <5315>; as I gave <5414> Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063> into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, his enemy <0341>, and that sought <1245> his life <5315>. Jeremiah 45 1. The word <1697> that Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> spake <1696> unto Baruch <1263> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, when he had written <3789> these words <1697> in a book <5612> at the mouth <6310> of Jeremiah <3414>, in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, unto thee, O Baruch <1263>; 3 Thou didst say <0559>, Woe <0188> is me now <4994>! for the LORD <3068> hath added <3254> grief <3015> to my sorrow <4341>; I fainted <3021> in my sighing <0585>, and I find <4672> no <3808> rest <4496>. 4 Thus <3541> shalt thou say <0559> unto him, The LORD <3068> saith <0559> thus <3541>; Behold <2009>, [that] which <0834> I have built <1129> will I break <2040> down <2040>, and that which <0834> I have planted <5193> I will pluck <5428> up, even this <1931> whole <3605> land <0776>. 5 And seekest <1245> thou great <1419> things for thyself? seek <1245> [them] not: for, behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon all <3605> flesh <1320>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: but thy life <5315> will I give <5414> unto thee for a prey <7998> in all <3605> places <4725> whither thou goest <3212>. Jeremiah 46 1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against <5921> the Gentiles <1471>; 2 Against Egypt <4714>, against the army <2428> of Pharaohnecho <6549> king <4428> of Egypt <4714>, which <0834> was by the river <5104> Euphrates <6578> in Carchemish <3751>, which <0834> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> smote <5221> in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of Jehoiakim <3079> the son <1121> of Josiah <2977> king <4428> of Judah <3063>. 3 Order <6186> ye the buckler <4043> and shield <6793>, and draw near <5066> to battle <4421>. 4 Harness <0631> the horses <5483>; and get <5927> up, ye horsemen <6571>, and stand <3320> forth with [your] helmets <3553>; furbish <4838> the spears <7420>, [and] put <3847> on the brigandines <5630>. 5 Wherefore <4069> have I seen <7200> them dismayed <2844> [and] turned <5472> away back <0268>? and their mighty <1368> ones are beaten <3807> down, and are fled <5127> apace, and look <6437> not back <6437>: [for] fear <4032> [was] round <5439> about, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 6 Let not the swift <7031> flee <5127> away, nor <0408> the mighty <1368> man escape <4422>; they shall stumble <3782>, and fall <5307> toward the north <6828> by the river <5104> Euphrates <6578>. 7 Who <4310> [is] this <2088> [that] cometh <5927> up as a flood <2975>, whose waters <4325> are moved <1607> as the rivers <5104>? 8 Egypt <4714> riseth <5927> up like a flood <2975>, and [his] waters <4325> are moved <1607> like the rivers <5104>; and he saith <0559>, I will go <5927> up, [and] will cover <3680> the earth <0776>; I will destroy <6> the city <5892> and the inhabitants <3427> thereof. 9 Come <5927> up, ye horses <5483>; and rage <1984>, ye chariots <7393>; and let the mighty <1368> men come <3318> forth <3318>; the Ethiopians <3569> and the Libyans <6316>, that handle <8610> the shield <4043>; and the Lydians <3866>, that handle <8610> [and] bend <1869> the bow <7198>. 10 For this <1931> [is] the day <3117> of the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>, a day <3117> of vengeance <5360>, that he may avenge <5358> him of his adversaries <6862>: and the sword <2719> shall devour <0398>, and it shall be satiate <7646> and made drunk <7301> with their blood <1818>: for the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> hath a sacrifice <2077> in the north <6828> country <0776> by the river <5104> Euphrates <6578>. 11 Go <5927> up into Gilead <1568>, and take <3947> balm <6875>, O virgin <1330>, the daughter <1323> of Egypt <4714>: in vain <7723> shalt thou use many <7235> medicines <7499>; [for] thou shalt not be cured <8585>. 12. The nations <1471> have heard <8085> of thy shame <7036>, and thy cry <6682> hath filled <4390> the land <0776>: for the mighty <1368> man hath stumbled <3782> against the mighty <1368>, [and] they are fallen <5307> both <8147> together <3162>. 13 The word <1697> that the LORD <3068> spake <1696> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, how Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> should come <0935> [and] smite <5221> the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>. 14 Declare <5046> ye in Egypt <4714>, and publish <8085> in Migdol <4024>, and publish <8085> in Noph <5297> and in Tahpanhes <8471>: say <0559> ye, Stand <3320> fast, and prepare <3559> thee; for the sword <2719> shall devour <0398> round <5439> about thee. 15 Why <4069> are thy valiant <47> [men] swept <5502> away? they stood <5975> not, because <3588> the LORD <3068> did drive <1920> them. 16 He made many <7235> to fall <3782>, yea, one <0376> fell <5307> upon another <7453>: and they said <0559>, Arise <6965>, and let us go <7725> again <7725> to our own people <5971>, and to the land <0776> of our nativity <4138>, from the oppressing <3238> sword <2719>. 17 They did cry <7121> there <8033>, Pharaoh <6547> king <4428> of Egypt <4714> [is but] a noise <7588>; he hath passed <5674> the time appointed <4150>. 18 [As] I live <2416>, saith <5002> the King <4428>, whose name <8034> [is] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, Surely <3588> as Tabor <8396> [is] among the mountains <2022>, and as Carmel <3760> by the sea <3220>, [so] shall he come <0935>. 19 O thou daughter <1323> dwelling <3427> in Egypt <4714>, furnish thyself to go into captivity <1473>: for Noph <5297> shall be waste <8047> and desolate <3341> without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>. 20 Egypt <4714> [is like] a very <3304> fair <3304> heifer <5697>, [but] destruction <7171> cometh <0935>; it cometh <0935> out of the north <6828>. 21 Also <1571> her hired <7916> men [are] in the midst <7130> of her like fatted <4770> bullocks <5695>; for they also <1571> are turned <6437> back <6437>, [and] are fled <5127> away together <3162>: they did not stand <5975>, because <3588> the day <3117> of their calamity <0343> was come <0935> upon them, [and] the time <6256> of their visitation <6486>. 22 The voice <6963> thereof shall go <3212> like a serpent <5175>; for they shall march <3212> with an army <2428>, and come <0935> against her with axes <7134>, as hewers <2404> of wood <6086>. 23 They shall cut <3772> down her forest <3293>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, though it cannot <3808> be searched <2713>; because <3588> they are more <7231> than the grasshoppers <0697>, and [are] innumerable. 24 The daughter <1323> of Egypt <4714> shall be confounded <3001>; she shall be delivered <5414> into the hand <3027> of the people <5971> of the north <6828>. 25 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>, saith <0559>; Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> the multitude <0582> of No, and Pharaoh <6547>, and Egypt <4714>, with their gods <0430>, and their kings <4428>; even Pharaoh <6547>, and [all] them that trust <0982> in him: 26 And I will deliver <5414> them into the hand <3027> of those that seek <1245> their lives <5315>, and into the hand <3027> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <3027> of his servants <5650>: and afterward it shall be inhabited <7931>, as in the days <3117> of old <6924>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 27 But fear <3372> not thou, O my servant <5650> Jacob <3290>, and be not dismayed <2865>, O Israel <3478>: for, behold <2005>, I will save <3467> thee from afar <7350> off, and thy seed <2233> from the land <0776> of their captivity <7633>; and Jacob <3290> shall return <7725>, and be in rest <8252> and at ease <7599>, and none <0369> shall make [him] afraid <2729>. 28 Fear <3372> thou not, O Jacob <3290> my servant <5650>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>: for I [am] with thee; for I will make <6213> a full end <3615> of all <3605> the nations <1471> whither I have driven <5080> thee: but I will not make <6213> a full end <3615> of thee, but correct <3256> thee in measure <4941>; yet will I not leave thee wholly <5352> unpunished <5352>. Jeremiah 47 1. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against <0413> the Philistines <6430>, before <6440> that Pharaoh <6547> smote <5221> Gaza <5804>. 2 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>, waters <4325> rise <5927> up out of the north <6828>, and shall be an overflowing <7857> flood <5158>, and shall overflow <7857> the land <0776>, and all <4393> that is therein <4393>; the city <5892>, and them that dwell <3427> therein: then the men <0120> shall cry <2199>, and all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> shall howl <3213>. 3 At the noise <6963> of the stamping <8161> of the hoofs <6541> of his strong <47> [horses], at the rushing <7494> of his chariots <7393>, [and at] the rumbling <1995> of his wheels <1534>, the fathers <1> shall not look <6437> back <6437> to [their] children <1121> for feebleness <7510> of hands <3027>; 4 Because <5921> of the day <3117> that cometh <0935> to spoil <7703> all <3605> the Philistines <6430>, [and] to cut <3772> off from Tyrus <6865> and Zidon <6721> every <3605> helper <5826> that remaineth <8300>: for the LORD <3068> will spoil <7703> the Philistines <6430>, the remnant <7611> of the country <0339> of Caphtor <3731>. 5 Baldness <7144> is come <0935> upon Gaza <5804>; Ashkelon <0831> is cut <1820> off [with] the remnant <7611> of their valley <6010>: how long <5704> wilt thou cut <1413> thyself? 6 O thou sword <2719> of the LORD <3068>, how <5704> long <5704> [will it be] ere <3808> thou be quiet <8252>? put <0622> up thyself into <0413> thy scabbard <8593>, rest <7280>, and be still <1826>. 7 How <0349> can it be quiet <8252>, seeing the LORD <3068> hath given it a charge <6680> against <0413> Ashkelon <0831>, and against <0413> the sea <3220> shore <2348>? there <8033> hath he appointed <3259> it. Jeremiah 48 1. Against Moab <4124> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Woe <1945> unto Nebo <5015>! for it is spoiled <7703>: Kiriathaim <7156> is confounded <3001> [and] taken <3920>: Misgab <4869> is confounded <3001> and dismayed <2865>. 2 [There shall be] no <0369> more <5750> praise <8416> of Moab <4124>: in Heshbon <2809> they have devised <2803> evil <7451> against <5921> it; come <3212>, and let us cut <3772> it off from [being] a nation <1471>. Also <1571> thou shalt be cut <1826> down, O Madmen <4086>; the sword <2719> shall pursue <3212> thee. 3 A voice <6963> of crying <6818> [shall be] from Horonaim <2773>, spoiling <7701> and great <1419> destruction <7667>. 4 Moab <4124> is destroyed <7665>; her little <6810> ones have caused a cry <2201> to be heard <8085>. 5 For in the going <4608> up of Luhith <3872> continual weeping <1065> shall go <5927> up; for in the going <4174> down <4174> of Horonaim <2773> the enemies <6862> have heard <8085> a cry <6818> of destruction <7667>. 6 Flee <5127>, save <4422> your lives <5315>, and be like <2421> the heath <6176> in the wilderness <4057>. 7 For because thou hast trusted <0982> in thy works <4639> and in thy treasures <0214>, thou shalt also <1571> be taken <3920>: and Chemosh <3645> shall go <3318> forth <3318> into captivity <1473> [with] his priests <3548> and his princes <8269> together <3162>. 8 And the spoiler <7703> shall come <0935> upon every <3605> city <5892>, and no <3808> city <5892> shall escape <4422>: the valley <6010> also shall perish <6>, and the plain <4334> shall be destroyed <8045>, as the LORD <3068> hath spoken <0559>. 9 Give <5414> wings <6731> unto Moab <4124>, that it may flee <5323> and get <3318> away <3318>: for the cities <5892> thereof shall be desolate <8047>, without <0369> any to dwell <3427> therein <2004>. 10 Cursed <0779> [be] he that doeth <6213> the work <4399> of the LORD <3068> deceitfully <7423>, and cursed <0779> [be] he that keepeth <4513> back <4513> his sword <2719> from blood <1818>. 11 Moab <4124> hath been at ease <7599> from his youth <5271>, and he hath settled <8252> on <0413> his lees <8105>, and hath not been <1961> emptied <7324> from vessel <3627> to vessel <3627>, neither <3808> hath he gone <1980> into captivity <1473>: therefore his taste <2940> remained <5975> in him, and his scent <7381> is not changed <4171>. 12 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will send <7971> unto him wanderers <6808>, that shall cause him to wander <6808>, and shall empty <7324> his vessels <3627>, and break <5310> their bottles <5035>. 13 And Moab <4124> shall be ashamed <0954> of Chemosh <3645>, as the house <1004> of Israel <3478> was ashamed <0954> of Bethel <1008> their confidence <4009>. 14. How <0349> say <0559> ye, We [are] mighty <1368> and strong <2428> men <0582> for the war <4421>? 15 Moab <4124> is spoiled <7703>, and gone <5927> up [out of] her cities <5892>, and his chosen <4005> young <0970> men are gone <3381> down <3381> to the slaughter <2875>, saith <5002> the King <4428>, whose name <8034> [is] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>. 16 The calamity <0343> of Moab <4124> [is] near <7138> to come <0935>, and his affliction <7451> hasteth <4116> fast <3966>. 17 All <3605> ye that are about <5439> him, bemoan <5110> him; and all <3605> ye that know <3045> his name <8034>, say <0559>, How <0349> is the strong <5797> staff <4294> broken <7665>, [and] the beautiful <8597> rod <4731>! 18 Thou daughter <1323> that dost inhabit <3427> Dibon <1769>, come <3381> down <3381> from [thy] glory <3519>, and sit <3427> in thirst <6772>; for the spoiler <7703> of Moab <4124> shall come <5927> upon thee, [and] he shall destroy <7843> thy strong <4013> holds <4013>. 19 O inhabitant <3427> of Aroer <6177>, stand <5975> by the way <1870>, and espy <6822>; ask <7592> him that fleeth <5127>, and her that escapeth <4422>, [and] say <0559>, What <4100> is done? 20 Moab <4124> is confounded <3001>; for it is broken <2865> down: howl <3213> and cry <2199>; tell <5046> ye it in Arnon <0769>, that Moab <4124> is spoiled <7703>, 21 And judgment <4941> is come <0935> upon the plain <4334> country <0776>; upon Holon <2473>, and upon Jahazah <3096>, and upon Mephaath <4158>, 22 And upon Dibon <1769>, and upon Nebo <5015>, and upon Bethdiblathaim <1015>, 23 And upon Kiriathaim <7156>, and upon Bethgamul <1014>, and upon Bethmeon <1010>, 24 And upon Kerioth <7152>, and upon Bozrah <1224>, and upon all <3605> the cities <5892> of the land <0776> of Moab <4124>, far <7350> or near <7138>. 25 The horn <7161> of Moab <4124> is cut <1438> off, and his arm <2220> is broken <7665>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 26 Make ye him drunken <7937>: for he magnified <1431> [himself] against <5921> the LORD <3068>: Moab <4124> also shall wallow <5606> in his vomit <6892>, and he also <1571> shall be in derision <7814>. 27 For was not Israel <3478> a derision <7814> unto thee? was he found <4672> among thieves <1590>? for since <1767> thou spakest <1697> of him, thou skippedst <5110> for joy. 28 O ye that dwell <3427> in Moab <4124>, leave <5800> the cities <5892>, and dwell <7931> in the rock <5553>, and be like the dove <3123> [that] maketh her nest <7077> in the sides <5676> of the hole's <6354> mouth <6310>. 29 We have heard <8085> the pride <1347> of Moab <4124>, (he is exceeding <3966> proud <1343>) his loftiness <1363>, and his arrogancy <1347>, and his pride <1347>, and the haughtiness <7312> of his heart <3820>. 30 I know <3045> his wrath <5678>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; but [it shall] not [be] so <3651>; his lies <0907> shall not so <3651> effect <6213> [it]. 31 Therefore will I howl <3213> for Moab <4124>, and I will cry <2199> out for all <3605> Moab <4124>; [mine heart] shall mourn <1897> for the men <0582> of Kirheres <7025>. 32 O vine <1612> of Sibmah <7643>, I will weep <1058> for thee with the weeping <1065> of Jazer <3270>: thy plants <5189> are gone <5674> over <5674> the sea <3220>, they reach <5060> [even] to the sea <3220> of Jazer <3270>: the spoiler <7703> is fallen <5307> upon thy summer <7019> fruits and upon thy vintage <1210>. 33 And joy <8057> and gladness <8057> is taken <0622> from the plentiful <3759> field, and from the land <0776> of Moab <4124>; and I have caused wine <3196> to fail <7673> from the winepresses <3342>: none <3808> shall tread <1869> with shouting <1959>; [their] shouting <1959> [shall be] no <3808> shouting <1959>. 34 From the cry <2201> of Heshbon <2809> [even] unto Elealeh <0500>, [and even] unto Jahaz <3096>, have they uttered <5414> their voice <6963>, from Zoar <6820> [even] unto Horonaim <2773>, [as] an heifer <5697> of three <7992> years old <7992>: for the waters <4325> also <1571> of Nimrim <5249> shall be desolate <4923>. 35 Moreover I will cause to cease <7673> in Moab <4124>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, him that offereth <5927> in the high <1116> places, and him that burneth <6999> incense <6999> to his gods <0430>. 36 Therefore mine heart <3820> shall sound <1993> for Moab <4124> like pipes <2485>, and mine heart <3820> shall sound <1993> like pipes <2485> for the men <0582> of Kirheres <7025>: because the riches <3502> [that] he hath gotten <6213> are perished <6>. 37 For every <3605> head <7218> [shall be] bald <7144>, and every <3605> beard <2206> clipped <1639>: upon all <3605> the hands <3027> [shall be] cuttings <1417>, and upon the loins <4975> sackcloth <8242>. 38 [There shall be] lamentation <4553> generally <3605> upon all <3605> the housetops <1406> of Moab <4124>, and in the streets <7339> thereof: for I have broken <7665> Moab <4124> like a vessel <3627> wherein [is] no <0369> pleasure <2656>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 39 They shall howl <3213>, [saying], How <0349> is it broken <2865> down! how <0349> hath Moab <4124> turned <6437> the back <6203> with shame <0954>! so shall Moab <4124> be a derision <7814> and a dismaying <4288> to all <3605> them about <5439> him. 40 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>, he shall fly <1675> as an eagle <5404>, and shall spread <6566> his wings <3671> over <0413> Moab <4124>. 41 Kerioth <7152> is taken <3920>, and the strong <4679> holds <4679> are surprised <8610>, and the mighty <1368> men's hearts <3820> in Moab <4124> at that day <3117> shall be as the heart <3820> of a woman <0802> in her pangs <6887>. 42 And Moab <4124> shall be destroyed <8045> from [being] a people <5971>, because he hath magnified <1431> [himself] against <5921> the LORD <3068>. 43 Fear <6343>, and the pit <6354>, and the snare <6341>, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant <3427> of Moab <4124>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 44 He that fleeth <5211> from the fear <6343> shall fall <5307> into <0413> the pit <6354>; and he that getteth <5927> up out of the pit <6354> shall be taken <3920> in the snare <6341>: for I will bring <0935> upon it, [even] upon Moab <4124>, the year <8141> of their visitation <6486>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 45 They that fled <5127> stood <5975> under the shadow <6738> of Heshbon <2809> because of the force <3581>: but a fire <0784> shall come <3318> forth <3318> out of Heshbon <2809>, and a flame <3852> from the midst of Sihon <5511>, and shall devour <0398> the corner <6285> of Moab <4124>, and the crown <6936> of the head <6936> of the tumultuous ones <1121>. 46 Woe <0188> be unto thee, O Moab <4124>! the people <5971> of Chemosh <3645> perisheth <6>: for thy sons <1121> are taken <3947> captives <7628>, and thy daughters <1121> captives <7633>. 47 Yet will I bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of Moab <4124> in the latter <0319> days <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Thus <2008> far <2008> [is] the judgment <4941> of Moab <4124>. Jeremiah 49 1. Concerning the Ammonites <5984>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Hath Israel <3478> no <0369> sons <1121>? hath he no <0369> heir <3423>? why <4069> [then] doth their king <4428> inherit <3423> Gad <1410>, and his people <5971> dwell <3427> in his cities <5892>? 2 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, that I will cause an alarm <8643> of war <4421> to be heard <8085> in Rabbah <7237> of the Ammonites <5984>; and it shall be a desolate <8077> heap <8510>, and her daughters <1121> shall be burned <3341> with fire <0784>: then shall Israel <3478> be heir <3423> unto them that were his heirs <3423>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 3 Howl <3213>, O Heshbon <2809>, for Ai <5857> is spoiled <7703>: cry <6817>, ye daughters <1121> of Rabbah <7237>, gird <2296> you with sackcloth <8242>; lament <5594>, and run <7751> to and fro <7751> by the hedges <1448>; for their king <4428> shall go <3212> into captivity <1473>, [and] his priests <3548> and his princes <8269> together <3162>. 4 Wherefore <4100> gloriest <1984> thou in the valleys <6010>, thy flowing <2100> valley <6010>, O backsliding <7728> daughter <1323>? that trusted <0982> in her treasures <0214>, [saying], Who <4310> shall come <0935> unto me? 5 Behold <2005>, I will bring <0935> a fear <6343> upon thee, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>, from all <3605> those that be about <5439> thee; and ye shall be driven <5080> out every man <0376> right <6440> forth <6440>; and none <0369> shall gather <6908> up him that wandereth <5074>. 6 And afterward I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 7. Concerning Edom <0123>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; [Is] wisdom <2451> no <0369> more <5750> in Teman <8487>? is counsel <6098> perished <6> from the prudent <0995>? is their wisdom <2451> vanished <5628>? 8 Flee <5127> ye, turn <6437> back <6437>, dwell <3427> deep <6009>, O inhabitants <3427> of Dedan <1719>; for I will bring <0935> the calamity <0343> of Esau <6215> upon him, the time <6256> [that] I will visit <6485> him. 9 If <0518> grapegatherers <1219> come <0935> to thee, would they not leave <7604> [some] gleaning <5955> grapes? if <0518> thieves <1590> by night <3915>, they will destroy <7843> till <5704> they have enough <1767>. 10 But I have made Esau <6215> bare <2834>, I have uncovered <1540> his secret <4565> places, and he shall not be able <3201> to hide <2247> himself: his seed <2233> is spoiled <7703>, and his brethren <0251>, and his neighbours <7934>, and he [is] not. 11 Leave <5800> thy fatherless <3490> children <1121>, I will preserve <2421> [them] alive <2421>; and let thy widows <0490> trust <0982> in me. 12 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2009>, they whose <0834> judgment <4941> [was] not to drink <8354> of the cup <3563> have assuredly <8354> drunken <7937>; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished <5352>? thou shalt not go <3212> unpunished <5352>, but thou shalt surely <3588> drink <8354> [of it]. 13 For I have sworn <7650> by myself, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that Bozrah <1224> shall become <1961> a desolation <8047>, a reproach <2781>, a waste <2721>, and a curse <7045>; and all <3605> the cities <5892> thereof shall be perpetual <5769> wastes <2723>. 14 I have heard <8085> a rumour <8052> from the LORD <3068>, and an ambassador <6735> is sent <7971> unto the heathen <1471>, [saying], Gather <6908> ye together, and come <0935> against <5921> her, and rise <6965> up to the battle <4421>. 15 For, lo <2009>, I will make <5414> thee small <6996> among the heathen <1471>, [and] despised <0959> among men <0120>. 16 Thy terribleness <8606> hath deceived <5377> thee, [and] the pride <2087> of thine heart <3820>, O thou that dwellest <7931> in the clefts <2288> of the rock <5553>, that holdest <8610> the height <4791> of the hill <1389>: though <3588> thou shouldest make thy nest <7064> as high <1361> as the eagle <5404>, I will bring <3381> thee down <3381> from thence <8033>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 17 Also Edom <0123> shall be a desolation <8047>: every <3605> one that goeth <5674> by it shall be astonished <8074>, and shall hiss <8319> at <5921> all <3605> the plagues <4347> thereof. 18 As in the overthrow <4114> of Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017> and the neighbour <7934> [cities] thereof, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, no <3808> man <0376> shall abide <3427> there <8033>, neither <3808> shall a son <1121> of man <0120> dwell <1481> in it. 19 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up like a lion <0738> from the swelling <1347> of Jordan <3383> against <0413> the habitation <5116> of the strong <0386>: but I will suddenly <7280> make him run <7323> away from her: and who <4310> [is] a chosen <0970> [man, that] I may appoint <6485> over <0413> her? for who <4310> [is] like <3644> me? and who <4310> will appoint <3259> me the time? and who <4310> [is] that shepherd <7462> that will stand <5975> before <6440> me? 20 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> the counsel <6098> of the LORD <3068>, that he hath taken <3289> against <0413> Edom <0123>; and his purposes <4284>, that he hath purposed <2803> against <0413> the inhabitants <3427> of Teman <8487>: Surely the least <6810> of the flock <6629> shall draw <5498> them out: surely he shall make their habitations <5116> desolate <8074> with them. 21 The earth <0776> is moved <7493> at the noise <6963> of their fall <5307>, at the cry <6818> the noise <6963> thereof was heard <8085> in the Red <5488> sea <3220>. 22 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up and fly <1675> as the eagle <5404>, and spread <6566> his wings <3671> over <5921> Bozrah <1224>: and at that day <3117> shall the heart <3820> of the mighty <1368> men of Edom <0123> be as the heart <3820> of a woman <0802> in her pangs <6887>. 23. Concerning Damascus <1834>. Hamath <2574> is confounded <0954>, and Arpad <0774>: for they have heard <8085> evil <7451> tidings <8052>: they are fainthearted <4127>; [there is] sorrow <1974> on the sea <3220>; it cannot be quiet <8252>. 24 Damascus <1834> is waxed feeble <7503>, [and] turneth <6437> herself to flee <5127>, and fear <7374> hath seized <2388> on [her]: anguish <6869> and sorrows <2256> have taken <0270> her, as a woman in travail <3205>. 25 How <0349> is the city <5892> of praise <8416> not left <5800>, the city <7151> of my joy <4885>! 26 Therefore <3651> her young <0970> men shall fall <5307> in her streets <7339>, and all <3605> the men <0582> of war <4421> shall be cut <1826> off in that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>. 27 And I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the wall <2346> of Damascus <1834>, and it shall consume <0398> the palaces <0759> of Benhadad <1130>. 28. Concerning Kedar <6938>, and concerning the kingdoms <4467> of Hazor <2674>, which <0834> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> shall smite <5221>, thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Arise <6965> ye, go <5927> up to Kedar <6938>, and spoil <7703> the men <1121> of the east <6924>. 29 Their tents <0168> and their flocks <6629> shall they take <3947> away: they shall take <5375> to themselves <1992> their curtains <3407>, and all <3605> their vessels <3627>, and their camels <1581>; and they shall cry <7121> unto them, Fear <4032> [is] on every <5437> side <5439>. 30 Flee <5127>, get <5110> you far <3966> off, dwell <3427> deep <6009>, O ye inhabitants <3427> of Hazor <2674>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; for Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath taken counsel <6098> against <5921> you, and hath conceived <2030> a purpose <4284> against <5921> you. 31 Arise <6965>, get <5927> you up unto the wealthy <7961> nation <1471>, that dwelleth <3427> without care <0983>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which have neither <3808> gates <1817> nor <3808> bars <1280>, [which] dwell <7931> alone <0909>. 32 And their camels <1581> shall be a booty <0957>, and the multitude <0527> of their cattle <4734> a spoil <7998>: and I will scatter <2219> into all <3605> winds <7307> them [that are] in the utmost <7112> corners <6285>; and I will bring <0935> their calamity <0343> from all <3605> sides <5676> thereof, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 33 And Hazor <2674> shall be a dwelling <4583> for dragons <8577>, [and] a desolation <8077> for ever <5769>: there shall no <3808> man <0376> abide <3427> there <8033>, nor <3808> [any] son <1121> of man <0120> dwell <1481> in it. 34. The word <1697> of the LORD <3068> that came <1961> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> against <0413> Elam <5867> in the beginning <7225> of the reign <4438> of Zedekiah <6667> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, saying <0559>, 35 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; Behold <2005>, I will break <7665> the bow <7198> of Elam <5867>, the chief <7225> of their might <1369>. 36 And upon Elam <5867> will I bring <0935> the four <0702> winds <7307> from the four <0702> quarters <7098> of heaven <8064>, and will scatter <2219> them toward all <3605> those <0428> winds <7307>; and there shall be no <3808> nation <1471> whither the outcasts <5080> of Elam <5867> shall not come <0935>. 37 For I will cause Elam <5867> to be dismayed <2865> before <6440> their enemies <0341>, and before <6440> them that seek <1245> their life <5315>: and I will bring <0935> evil <7451> upon them, [even <0853>] my fierce <2740> anger <0639>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; and I will send <7971> the sword <2719> after <0310> them, till <5704> I have consumed <3615> them: 38 And I will set <7760> my throne <3678> in Elam <5867>, and will destroy <6> from thence <8033> the king <4428> and the princes <8269>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 39 But it shall come <1961> to pass in the latter <0319> days <3117>, [that] I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of Elam <5867>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. Jeremiah 50 1. The word <1697> that the LORD <3068> spake <1696> against <0413> Babylon <0894> [and] against <0413> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778> by Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>. 2 Declare <5046> ye among the nations <1471>, and publish <8085>, and set <5375> up a standard <5251>; publish <8085>, [and] conceal <3582> not: say <0559>, Babylon <0894> is taken <3920>, Bel <1078> is confounded <3001>, Merodach <4781> is broken <2844> in pieces; her idols <6091> are confounded <3001>, her images <1544> are broken <2865> in pieces. 3 For out of the north <6828> there cometh <5927> up a nation <1471> against <5921> her, which <1931> shall make <7896> her land <0776> desolate <8047>, and none <3808> shall dwell <3427> therein: they shall remove <5110>, they shall depart <1980>, both man <0120> and beast <0929>. 4 In those <1992> days <3117>, and in that time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, the children <1121> of Israel <3478> shall come <0935>, they and the children <1121> of Judah <3063> together <3162>, going <1980> and weeping <1058>: they shall go <3212>, and seek <1245> the LORD <3068> their God <0430>. 5 They shall ask <7592> the way <1870> to Zion <6726> with their faces <6440> thitherward <2008>, [saying], Come <0935>, and let us join <3867> ourselves to the LORD <3068> in a perpetual <5769> covenant <1285> [that] shall not be forgotten <7911>. 6 My people <5971> hath been <1961> lost <6> sheep <6629>: their shepherds <7462> have caused them to go <8582> astray <8582>, they have turned <7725> them away [on] the mountains <2022>: they have gone <1980> from mountain <2022> to hill <1389>, they have forgotten <7911> their restingplace <7258>. 7 All <3605> that found <4672> them have devoured <0398> them: and their adversaries <6862> said <0559>, We offend <0816> not, because they have sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>, the habitation <5116> of justice <6664>, even the LORD <3068>, the hope <4723> of their fathers <1>. 8 Remove <5110> out of the midst <8432> of Babylon <0894>, and go <3318> forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and be as the he goats <6260> before <6440> the flocks <6629>. 9. For, lo <2009>, I will raise <5782> and cause to come <5927> up against <5921> Babylon <0894> an assembly <6951> of great <1419> nations <1471> from the north <6828> country <0776>: and they shall set themselves in array <6186> against her; from thence <8033> she shall be taken <3920>: their arrows <2671> [shall be] as of a mighty <1368> expert <7919> man; none <3808> shall return <7725> in vain <7387>. 10 And Chaldea <3778> shall be a spoil <7998>: all <3605> that spoil <7998> her shall be satisfied <7646>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 11 Because <3588> ye were glad <8056>, because <3588> ye rejoiced <5937>, O ye destroyers <8154> of mine heritage <5159>, because <3588> ye are grown <6335> fat <6335> as the heifer <5697> at grass <1877>, and bellow <6670> as bulls <47>; 12 Your mother <0517> shall be sore <3966> confounded <0954>; she that bare <3205> you shall be ashamed <2659>: behold <2009>, the hindermost <0319> of the nations <1471> [shall be] a wilderness <4057>, a dry <6723> land, and a desert <6160>. 13 Because of the wrath <7110> of the LORD <3068> it shall not be inhabited <3427>, but it shall be wholly <3605> desolate <8077>: every <3605> one that goeth <5674> by Babylon <0894> shall be astonished <8074>, and hiss <8319> at <5921> all <3605> her plagues <4347>. 14 Put yourselves in array <6186> against <5921> Babylon <0894> round <5439> about: all <3605> ye that bend <1869> the bow <7198>, shoot <3034> at <0413> her, spare <2550> no <0408> arrows <2671>: for she hath sinned <2398> against the LORD <3068>. 15 Shout <7321> against <5921> her round <5439> about: she hath given <5414> her hand <3027>: her foundations <0803> are fallen <5307>, her walls <2346> are thrown <2040> down <2040>: for it [is] the vengeance <5360> of the LORD <3068>: take vengeance <5358> upon her; as she hath done <6213>, do <6213> unto her. 16 Cut <3772> off the sower <2232> from Babylon <0894>, and him that handleth <8610> the sickle <4038> in the time <6256> of harvest <7105>: for fear <6440> of the oppressing <3238> sword <2719> they shall turn <6437> every <0376> one <0376> to his people <5971>, and they shall flee <5127> every <0376> one <0376> to his own land <0776>. 17 Israel <3478> [is] a scattered <6340> sheep <7716>; the lions <0738> have driven <5080> [him] away: first <7223> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804> hath devoured <0398> him; and last <0314> this <2088> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath broken <6105> his bones <6106>. 18 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; Behold <2005>, I will punish <6485> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> and his land <0776>, as I have punished <6485> the king <4428> of Assyria <0804>. 19 And I will bring <7725> Israel <3478> again <7725> to his habitation <5116>, and he shall feed <7462> on Carmel <3760> and Bashan <1316>, and his soul <5315> shall be satisfied <7646> upon mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> and Gilead <1568>. 20 In those <1992> days <3117>, and in that time <6256>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, the iniquity <5771> of Israel <3478> shall be sought <1245> for, and [there shall be] none <0369>; and the sins <2403> of Judah <3063>, and they shall not be found <4672>: for I will pardon <5545> them whom <0834> I reserve <7604>. 21. Go <5927> up against <5921> the land <0776> of Merathaim <4850>, [even] against <5921> it, and against <0413> the inhabitants <3427> of Pekod <6489>: waste <2717> and utterly destroy <2763> after <0310> them, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and do <6213> according to all <3605> that I have commanded <6680> thee. 22 A sound <6963> of battle <4421> [is] in the land <0776>, and of great <1419> destruction <7667>. 23 How <0349> is the hammer <6360> of the whole <3605> earth <0776> cut <1438> asunder and broken <7665>! how <0349> is Babylon <0894> become <1961> a desolation <8047> among the nations <1471>! 24 I have laid a snare <3369> for thee, and thou art also <1571> taken <3920>, O Babylon <0894>, and thou wast not aware <3045>: thou art found <4672>, and also <1571> caught <8610>, because <3588> thou hast striven <1624> against the LORD <3068>. 25 The LORD <3068> hath opened <6605> his armoury <0214>, and hath brought <3318> forth <3318> the weapons <3627> of his indignation <2195>: for this <1931> [is] the work <4399> of the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>. 26 Come <0935> against her from the utmost <7093> border <7093>, open <6605> her storehouses <3965>: cast <5549> her up as heaps <6194>, and destroy <2763> her utterly: let nothing <0408> of her be left <7611>. 27 Slay <2717> all <3605> her bullocks <6499>; let them go <3381> down <3381> to the slaughter <2875>: woe <1945> unto them! for their day <3117> is come <0935>, the time <6256> of their visitation <6486>. 28 The voice <6963> of them that flee <5127> and escape <6412> out of the land <0776> of Babylon <0894>, to declare <5046> in Zion <6726> the vengeance <5360> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, the vengeance <5360> of his temple <1964>. 29 Call <8085> together the archers <7228> against <0413> Babylon <0894>: all <3605> ye that bend <1869> the bow <7198>, camp <2583> against <5921> it round <5439> about; let none <0408> thereof escape <6413>: recompense <7999> her according to her work <6467>; according to all <3605> that she hath done <6213>, do <6213> unto her: for she hath been proud <2102> against <0413> the LORD <3068>, against <0413> the Holy <6944> One of Israel <3478>. 30 Therefore <3651> shall her young <0970> men fall <5307> in the streets <7339>, and all <3605> her men <0582> of war <4421> shall be cut <1826> off in that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 31 Behold <2005>, I [am <1961>] against <0413> thee, [O thou] most proud <2087>, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>: for thy day <3117> is come <0935>, the time <6256> [that] I will visit <6485> thee. 32 And the most proud <2087> shall stumble <3782> and fall <5307>, and none <0369> shall raise <6965> him up: and I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in his cities <5892>, and it shall devour <0398> all <3605> round <5439> about him. 33. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; The children <1121> of Israel <3478> and the children <1121> of Judah <3063> [were] oppressed <6231> together <3162>: and all <3605> that took them captives <7617> held <2388> them fast; they refused <3985> to let them go <7971>. 34 Their Redeemer <1350> [is] strong <2389>; the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>: he shall throughly plead <7378> their cause <7379>, that he may give rest <7280> to the land <0776>, and disquiet <7264> the inhabitants <3427> of Babylon <0894>. 35 A sword <2719> [is] upon the Chaldeans <3778>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and upon the inhabitants <3427> of Babylon <0894>, and upon her princes <8269>, and upon her wise <2450> [men]. 36 A sword <2719> [is] upon the liars <0907>; and they shall dote <2973>: a sword <2719> [is] upon her mighty <1368> men; and they shall be dismayed <2865>. 37 A sword <2719> [is] upon their horses <5483>, and upon their chariots <7393>, and upon all <3605> the mingled <6154> people that [are] in the midst <8432> of her; and they shall become <1961> as women <0802>: a sword <2719> [is] upon her treasures <0214>; and they shall be robbed <0962>. 38 A drought <2721> [is] upon her waters <4325>; and they shall be dried <3001> up: for it [is] the land <0776> of graven <6456> images, and they are mad <1984> upon [their] idols <0367>. 39 Therefore <3651> the wild <6728> beasts <6728> of the desert <6728> with the wild <0338> beasts <0338> of the islands <0339> shall dwell <3427> [there], and the owls shall dwell <3427> therein: and it shall be no <3808> more <5750> inhabited <3427> for ever <5331>; neither <3808> shall it be dwelt <7931> in from generation <1755> to generation <1755>. 40 As God <0430> overthrew <4114> Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017> and the neighbour <7934> [cities] thereof, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>; [so] shall no <3808> man <0376> abide <3427> there <8033>, neither <3808> shall any son <1121> of man <0120> dwell <1481> therein. 41 Behold <2009>, a people <5971> shall come <0935> from the north <6828>, and a great <1419> nation <1471>, and many <7227> kings <4428> shall be raised <5782> up from the coasts <3411> of the earth <0776>. 42 They shall hold <2388> the bow <7198> and the lance <3591>: they [are] cruel <0394>, and will not shew mercy <7355>: their voice <6963> shall roar <1993> like the sea <3220>, and they shall ride <7392> upon horses <5483>, [every one] put in array <6186>, like a man <0376> to the battle <4421>, against <5921> thee, O daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894>. 43 The king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath heard <8085> the report <8088> of them, and his hands <3027> waxed feeble <7503>: anguish <6869> took hold <2388> of him, [and] pangs <2427> as of a woman in travail <3205>. 44 Behold <2009>, he shall come <5927> up like a lion <0738> from the swelling <1347> of Jordan <3383> unto the habitation <5116> of the strong <0386>: but I will make them suddenly <7280> run <7323> away from her: and who <4310> [is] a chosen <0970> [man, that] I may appoint <6485> over <0413> her? for who <4310> [is] like <3644> me? and who <4310> will appoint <3259> me the time? and who <4310> [is] that shepherd <7462> that will stand <5975> before <6440> me? 45 Therefore <3651> hear <8085> ye the counsel <6098> of the LORD <3068>, that he hath taken <3289> against <0413> Babylon <0894>; and his purposes <4284>, that he hath purposed <2803> against <0413> the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>: Surely the least <6810> of the flock <6629> shall draw <5498> them out: surely he shall make [their] habitation <5116> desolate <8074> with them. 46 At the noise <6963> of the taking <8610> of Babylon <0894> the earth <0776> is moved <7493>, and the cry <2201> is heard <8085> among the nations <1471>. Jeremiah 51 1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will raise <5782> up against <5921> Babylon <0894>, and against <0413> them that dwell <3427> in the midst <3820> of them that rise <6965> up against me, a destroying <7843> wind <7307>; 2 And will send <7971> unto Babylon <0894> fanners <2114>, that shall fan <2219> her, and shall empty <1238> her land <0776>: for in the day <3117> of trouble <7451> they shall be against <5921> her round <5439> about. 3 Against <0413> [him that] bendeth <1869> let the archer <1869> bend <1869> his bow <7198>, and against <0413> [him that] lifteth <5927> himself up in his brigandine <5630>: and spare <2550> ye not her young <0970> men; destroy <2763> ye utterly all <3605> her host <6635>. 4 Thus the slain <2491> shall fall <5307> in the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>, and [they that are] thrust <1856> through <1856> in her streets <2351>. 5 For Israel <3478> [hath] not [been] forsaken <0488>, nor Judah <3063> of his God <0430>, of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; though <3588> their land <0776> was filled <4390> with sin <0817> against the Holy <6918> One of Israel <3478>. 6 Flee <5127> out of the midst <8432> of Babylon <0894>, and deliver <4422> every man <0376> his soul <5315>: be not cut <1826> off in her iniquity <5771>; for this <1931> [is] the time <6256> of the LORD'S <3068> vengeance <5360>; he will render <7999> unto her a recompence <1576>. 7 Babylon <0894> [hath been] a golden <2091> cup <3563> in the LORD'S <3068> hand <3027>, that made all <3605> the earth <0776> drunken <7937>: the nations <1471> have drunken <8354> of her wine <3196>; therefore the nations <1471> are mad <1984>. 8 Babylon <0894> is suddenly <6597> fallen <5307> and destroyed <7665>: howl <3213> for her; take <3947> balm <6875> for her pain <4341>, if <0194> so be she may be healed <7495>. 9 We would have healed <7495> Babylon <0894>, but she is not healed <7495>: forsake <5800> her, and let us go <3212> every <0376> one <0376> into his own country <0776>: for her judgment <4941> reacheth <5060> unto heaven <8064>, and is lifted <5375> up [even] to the skies <7834>. 10 The LORD <3068> hath brought <3318> forth <3318> our righteousness <6666>: come <0935>, and let us declare <5608> in Zion <6726> the work <4639> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>. 11 Make bright <1305> the arrows <1121>; gather <4390> the shields <7982>: the LORD <3068> hath raised <5782> up the spirit <7307> of the kings <4428> of the Medes <4074>: for his device <4209> [is] against <5921> Babylon <0894>, to destroy <7843> it; because <3588> it [is] the vengeance <5360> of the LORD <3068>, the vengeance <5360> of his temple <1964>. 12 Set <5375> up the standard <5251> upon the walls <2346> of Babylon <0894>, make the watch <4929> strong <2388>, set <6965> up the watchmen <8104>, prepare <3559> the ambushes <0693>: for the LORD <3068> hath both <1571> devised <2161> and done <6213> that which <0834> he spake <1696> against <0413> the inhabitants <3427> of Babylon <0894>. 13 O thou that dwellest <7931> upon many <7227> waters <4325>, abundant <7227> in treasures <0214>, thine end <7093> is come <0935>, [and] the measure <0520> of thy covetousness <1215>. 14 The LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> hath sworn <7650> by himself <5315>, [saying], Surely I will fill <4390> thee with men <0120>, as with caterpillers <3218>; and they shall lift <6030> up a shout <1959> against <5921> thee. 15 He hath made <6213> the earth <0776> by his power <3581>, he hath established <3559> the world <8398> by his wisdom <2451>, and hath stretched <5186> out the heaven <8064> by his understanding <8394>. 16 When he uttereth <5414> [his] voice <6963>, [there is] a multitude <0527> of waters <4325> in the heavens <8064>; and he causeth the vapours <5387> to ascend <5927> from the ends <7097> of the earth <0776>: he maketh <6213> lightnings <1300> with rain <4306>, and bringeth <3318> forth <3318> the wind <7307> out of his treasures <0214>. 17 Every <3605> man <0120> is brutish <1197> by [his] knowledge <1847>; every <3605> founder <6884> is confounded <3001> by the graven <6459> image <6459>: for his molten <5262> image [is] falsehood <8267>, and [there is] no <3808> breath <7307> in them. 18 They [are] vanity <1892>, the work <4639> of errors <8595>: in the time <6256> of their visitation <6486> they shall perish <6>. 19 The portion <2506> of Jacob <3290> [is] not like them; for he [is] the former <3335> of all <3605> things: and [Israel <3478> is] the rod <7626> of his inheritance <5159>: the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> [is] his name <8034>. 20 Thou [art] my battle <4661> axe <4601> [and] weapons <3627> of war <4421>: for with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the nations <1471>, and with thee will I destroy <7843> kingdoms <4467>; 21 And with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the horse <5483> and his rider <7392>; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the chariot <7393> and his rider <7392>; 22 With thee also will I break <5310> in pieces man <0376> and woman <0802>; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces old <2205> and young <5288>; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the young <0970> man and the maid <1330>; 23 I will also break <5310> in pieces with thee the shepherd <7462> and his flock <5739>; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces the husbandman <0406> and his yoke <6776> of oxen; and with thee will I break <5310> in pieces captains <6346> and rulers <5461>. 24 And I will render <7999> unto Babylon <0894> and to all <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of Chaldea <3778> all <3605> their evil <7451> that they have done <6213> in Zion <6726> in your sight <5869>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 25 Behold <2005>, I [am] against <0413> thee, O destroying <4889> mountain <2022>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, which destroyest <7843> all <3605> the earth <0776>: and I will stretch <5186> out mine hand <3027> upon thee, and roll <1556> thee down from the rocks <5553>, and will make <5414> thee a burnt <8316> mountain <2022>. 26 And they shall not take <3947> of thee a stone <68> for a corner <6438>, nor a stone <68> for foundations <4146>; but thou shalt be desolate <8077> for ever <5769>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 27 Set <5375> ye up a standard <5251> in the land <0776>, blow <8628> the trumpet <7782> among the nations <1471>, prepare <6942> the nations <1471> against <5921> her, call <8085> together against <5921> her the kingdoms <4467> of Ararat <0780>, Minni <4508>, and Ashchenaz <0813>; appoint <6485> a captain <2951> against <5921> her; cause the horses <5483> to come <5927> up as the rough <5569> caterpillers <3218>. 28 Prepare <6942> against <5921> her the nations <1471> with the kings <4428> of the Medes <4074>, the captains <6346> thereof, and all <3605> the rulers <5461> thereof, and all <3605> the land <0776> of his dominion <4475>. 29 And the land <0776> shall tremble <7493> and sorrow <2342>: for every purpose <4284> of the LORD <3068> shall be performed <6965> against <5921> Babylon <0894>, to make <7760> the land <0776> of Babylon <0894> a desolation <8047> without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>. 30 The mighty <1368> men of Babylon <0894> have forborn <2308> to fight <3898>, they have remained <3427> in [their] holds <4679>: their might <1369> hath failed <5405>; they became <1961> as women <0802>: they have burned <3341> her dwellingplaces <4908>; her bars <1280> are broken <7665>. 31 One post <7323> shall run <7323> to meet <7125> another, and one messenger <5046> to meet <7125> another, to shew <5046> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> that his city <5892> is taken <3920> at [one] end <7097>, 32 And that the passages <4569> are stopped <8610>, and the reeds <98> they have burned <8313> with fire <0784>, and the men <0582> of war <4421> are affrighted <0926>. 33 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, the God <0430> of Israel <3478>; The daughter <1323> of Babylon <0894> [is] like a threshingfloor <1637>, [it is] time <6256> to thresh <1869> her: yet <5750> a little <4592> while, and the time <6256> of her harvest <7105> shall come <0935>. 34 Nebuchadrezzar <5019> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> hath devoured <0398> me, he hath crushed <2000> me, he hath made <3322> me an empty <7385> vessel <3627>, he hath swallowed <1104> me up like a dragon <8577>, he hath filled <4390> his belly <3770> with my delicates <5730>, he hath cast <1740> me out. 35 The violence <2555> done <6213> to me and to my flesh <7607> [be] upon Babylon <0894>, shall the inhabitant <3427> of Zion <6726> say <0559>; and my blood <1818> upon the inhabitants <3427> of Chaldea <3778>, shall Jerusalem <3389> say <0559>. 36 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Behold <2005>, I will plead <7378> thy cause <7379>, and take vengeance <5360> for thee; and I will dry <6717> up her sea <3220>, and make her springs <4726> dry <3001>. 37 And Babylon <0894> shall become <1961> heaps <1530>, a dwellingplace <3427> for dragons <8577>, an astonishment <8047>, and an hissing <8322>, without <0369> an inhabitant <3427>. 38 They shall roar <7580> together <3162> like lions <3715>: they shall yell <5286> as lions <0738>' whelps <1484>. 39 In their heat <2527> I will make <7896> their feasts <4960>, and I will make them drunken <7937>, that they may rejoice <5937>, and sleep <3462> a perpetual <5769> sleep <8142>, and not wake <6974>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 40 I will bring <3381> them down <3381> like lambs <3733> to the slaughter <2873>, like rams <0352> with he goats <6260>. 41 How <0349> is Sheshach <8347> taken <3920>! and how is the praise <8416> of the whole <3605> earth <0776> surprised <8610>! how <0349> is Babylon <0894> become <1961> an astonishment <8047> among the nations <1471>! 42 The sea <3220> is come <5927> up upon Babylon <0894>: she is covered <3680> with the multitude <0527> of the waves <1530> thereof. 43 Her cities <5892> are a desolation <8047>, a dry <6723> land <0776>, and a wilderness <6160>, a land <0776> wherein <0834> no <3808> man <0376> dwelleth <3427>, neither <3808> doth [any] son <1121> of man <0120> pass <5674> thereby <2004>. 44 And I will punish <6485> Bel <1078> in Babylon <0894>, and I will bring <3318> forth <3318> out of his mouth <6310> that which he hath swallowed <1104> up: and the nations <1471> shall not flow <5102> together any more <5750> unto him: yea <1571>, the wall <2346> of Babylon <0894> shall fall <5307>. 45 My people <5971>, go <3318> ye out of the midst <8432> of her, and deliver <4422> ye every man <0376> his soul <5315> from the fierce <2740> anger <0639> of the LORD <3068>. 46 And lest <6435> your heart <3824> faint <7401>, and ye fear <3372> for the rumour <8052> that shall be heard <8085> in the land <0776>; a rumour <8052> shall both come <0935> [one] year <8141>, and after <0310> that in [another] year <8141> [shall come] a rumour <8052>, and violence <2555> in the land <0776>, ruler <4910> against <5921> ruler <4910>. 47 Therefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, that I will do judgment <6485> upon the graven <6456> images of Babylon <0894>: and her whole <3605> land <0776> shall be confounded <0954>, and all <3605> her slain <2491> shall fall <5307> in the midst <8432> of her. 48 Then the heaven <8064> and the earth <0776>, and all <3605> that [is] therein, shall sing <7442> for Babylon <0894>: for the spoilers <7703> shall come <0935> unto her from the north <6828>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 49 As Babylon <0894> [hath caused] the slain <2491> of Israel <3478> to fall <5307>, so at Babylon <0894> shall fall <5307> the slain <2491> of all <3605> the earth <0776>. 50 Ye that have escaped <6412> the sword <2719>, go <1980> away, stand <5975> not still <5975>: remember <2142> the LORD <3068> afar <7350> off, and let Jerusalem <3389> come <5927> into <5921> your mind <3824>. 51 We are confounded <0954>, because <3588> we have heard <8085> reproach <2781>: shame <3639> hath covered <3680> our faces <6440>: for strangers <2114> are come <0935> into <5921> the sanctuaries <4720> of the LORD'S <3068> house <1004>. 52 Wherefore <3651>, behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, that I will do judgment <6485> upon her graven <6456> images: and through all <3605> her land <0776> the wounded <2491> shall groan <0602>. 53 Though <3588> Babylon <0894> should mount <5927> up to heaven <8064>, and though <3588> she should fortify <1219> the height <4791> of her strength <5797>, [yet] from me shall spoilers <7703> come <0935> unto her, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>. 54 A sound <6963> of a cry <2201> [cometh <0935>] from Babylon <0894>, and great <1419> destruction <7667> from the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <3778>: 55 Because <3588> the LORD <3068> hath spoiled <7703> Babylon <0894>, and destroyed <6> out of her the great <1419> voice <6963>; when her waves <1530> do roar <1993> like great <7227> waters <4325>, a noise <7588> of their voice <6963> is uttered <5414>: 56 Because <3588> the spoiler <7703> is come <0935> upon her, [even] upon Babylon <0894>, and her mighty <1368> men are taken <3920>, every one of their bows <7198> is broken <2865>: for the LORD <3068> God <0410> of recompences <1578> shall surely requite <7999>. 57 And I will make drunk <7937> her princes <8269>, and her wise <2450> [men], her captains <6346>, and her rulers <5461>, and her mighty <1368> men: and they shall sleep <3462> a perpetual <5769> sleep <8142>, and not wake <6974>, saith <5002> the King <4428>, whose name <8034> [is] the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>. 58 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; The broad <7342> walls <2346> of Babylon <0894> shall be utterly broken <6209>, and her high <1364> gates <8179> shall be burned <3341> with fire <0784>; and the people <5971> shall labour <3021> in vain <7385>, and the folk <3816> in the fire <0784>, and they shall be weary <3286>. 59. The word <1697> which <0834> Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030> commanded <6680> Seraiah <8304> the son <1121> of Neriah <5374>, the son <1121> of Maaseiah <4271>, when he went <3212> with Zedekiah <6667> the king <4428> of Judah <3063> into Babylon <0894> in the fourth <7243> year <8141> of his reign <4427>. And [this] Seraiah <8304> [was] a quiet <4496> prince <8269>. 60 So Jeremiah <3414> wrote <3789> in a book <5612> all <3605> the evil <7451> that should come <0935> upon Babylon <0894>, [even <0853>] all <3605> these <0428> words <1697> that are written <3789> against <0413> Babylon <0894>. 61 And Jeremiah <3414> said <0559> to Seraiah <8304>, When thou comest <0935> to Babylon <0894>, and shalt see <7200>, and shalt read <7121> all <3605> these <0428> words <1697>; 62 Then shalt thou say <0559>, O LORD <3068>, thou hast spoken <1696> against <0413> this <2088> place <4725>, to cut <3772> it off, that none <1115> shall remain <3427> in it, neither <1115> man <0120> nor beast <0929>, but that it shall be desolate <8077> for ever <5769>. 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <3615> of reading <7121> this <2088> book <5612>, [that] thou shalt bind <7164> a stone <68> to it, and cast <7993> it into <0413> the midst <8432> of Euphrates <6578>: 64 And thou shalt say <0559>, Thus <3602> shall Babylon <0894> sink <8257>, and shall not rise <6965> from the evil <7451> that I will bring <0935> upon her: and they shall be weary <3286>. Thus <2008> far <2008> [are] the words <1697> of Jeremiah <3414>. Jeremiah 52 1. Zedekiah <6667> [was] one <0259> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> when he began to reign <4427>, and he reigned <4427> eleven years <8141> in Jerusalem <3389>. And his mother's <0517> name <8034> [was] Hamutal <2537> the daughter <1323> of Jeremiah <3414> of Libnah <3841>. 2 And he did <6213> [that which was] evil <7451> in the eyes <5869> of the LORD <3068>, according to all <3605> that Jehoiakim <3079> had done <6213>. 3 For through <5921> the anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> it came <1961> to pass in Jerusalem <3389> and Judah <3063>, till <5704> he had cast <7993> them out from his presence <6440>, that Zedekiah <6667> rebelled <4775> against the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>. 4 And it came <1961> to pass in the ninth <8671> year <8141> of his reign <4427>, in the tenth <6224> month <2320>, in the tenth <6218> [day] of the month <2320>, [that] Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935>, he and all <3605> his army <2428>, against <5921> Jerusalem <3389>, and pitched <2583> against <5921> it, and built <1129> forts <1785> against <5921> it round <5439> about. 5 So the city <5892> was besieged unto the eleventh year <8141> of king <4428> Zedekiah <6667>. 6 And in the fourth <7243> month <2320>, in the ninth <8672> [day] of the month <2320>, the famine <7458> was sore <2388> in the city <5892>, so that there was no <3808> bread <3899> for the people <5971> of the land <0776>. 7 Then the city <5892> was broken <1234> up, and all <3605> the men <0582> of war <4421> fled <1272>, and went <3318> forth <3318> out of the city <5892> by night <3915> by the way <1870> of the gate <8179> between <0996> the two <8147> walls <2346>, which <0834> [was] by the king's <4428> garden <1588>; (now the Chaldeans <3778> [were] by the city <5892> round <5439> about:) and they went <3212> by the way <1870> of the plain <6160>. 8 But the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3779> pursued <7291> after <0310> the king <4428>, and overtook <5381> Zedekiah <6667> in the plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>; and all <3605> his army <2428> was scattered <6327> from him. 9 Then they took <8610> the king <4428>, and carried <5927> him up unto the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <2574>; where he gave <1696> judgment <4941> upon him. 10 And the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> slew <7819> the sons <1121> of Zedekiah <6667> before his eyes <5869>: he slew <7819> also <1571> all <3605> the princes <8269> of Judah <3063> in Riblah <7247>. 11 Then he put <5786> out the eyes <5869> of Zedekiah <6667>; and the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> bound <0631> him in chains <5178>, and carried <0935> him to Babylon <0894>, and put <5411> him in prison till <5704> the day <3117> of his death <4194>. 12. Now in the fifth <2549> month <2320>, in the tenth <6218> [day] of the month <2320>, which <1958> [was] the nineteenth year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, came <0935> Nebuzaradan <5018>, captain <7227> of the guard <2876>, [which] served <5975> the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, into Jerusalem <3389>, 13 And burned <8313> the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and the king's <4428> house <1004>; and all <3605> the houses <1004> of Jerusalem <3389>, and all <3605> the houses <1004> of the great <1419> [men], burned <8313> he with fire <0784>: 14 And all <3605> the army <2428> of the Chaldeans <3779>, that [were] with the captain <7227> of the guard <2876>, brake <5422> down <5422> all <3605> the walls <2346> of Jerusalem <3389> round <5439> about. 15 Then Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> carried <1540> away captive <1540> [certain] of the poor <1803> of the people <5971>, and the residue <3499> of the people <5971> that remained <7604> in the city <5892>, and those that fell <5307> away, that fell <5307> to the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, and the rest <3499> of the multitude <0527>. 16 But Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> left <7604> [certain] of the poor <1803> of the land <0776> for vinedressers <3755> and for husbandmen <3009>. 17 Also the pillars <5982> of brass <5178> that [were] in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, and the bases <4350>, and the brasen <5178> sea <3220> that [was] in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>, the Chaldeans <3779> brake <7665>, and carried <5375> all <3605> the brass <5178> of them to Babylon <0894>. 18 The caldrons <5518> also, and the shovels <3257>, and the snuffers <4212>, and the bowls <4219>, and the spoons <3709>, and all <3605> the vessels <3627> of brass <5178> wherewith <0834> they ministered <8334>, took <3947> they away. 19 And the basons <5592>, and the firepans <4289>, and the bowls <4219>, and the caldrons <5518>, and the candlesticks <4501>, and the spoons <3709>, and the cups <4518>; [that] which <0834> [was] of gold <2091> [in] gold <2091>, and [that] which <0834> [was] of silver <3701> [in] silver <3701>, took <3947> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> away. 20 The two <8147> pillars <5982>, one <0259> sea <3220>, and twelve brasen <5178> bulls <1241> that [were] under <8478> the bases <4350>, which <0834> king <4428> Solomon <8010> had made <6213> in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>: the brass <5178> of all <3605> these <0428> vessels <3627> was without <3808> weight <4948>. 21 And [concerning] the pillars <5982>, the height <6967> of one <0259> pillar <5982> [was] eighteen cubits <0520>; and a fillet <2339> of twelve cubits <0520> did compass <5437> it; and the thickness <5672> thereof [was] four <0702> fingers <0676>: [it was] hollow <5014>. 22 And a chapiter <3805> of brass <5178> [was] upon it; and the height <6967> of one <0259> chapiter <3805> [was] five <2568> cubits <0520>, with network <7639> and pomegranates <7416> upon the chapiters <3805> round <5439> about, all <3605> [of] brass <5178>. The second <8145> pillar <5982> also and the pomegranates <7416> [were] like unto these <0428>. 23 And there were ninety <8673> and six <8337> pomegranates <7416> on a side <7307>; [and] all <3605> the pomegranates <7416> upon the network <7639> [were] an hundred <3967> round <5439> about. 24. And the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> took <3947> Seraiah <8304> the chief <7218> priest <3548>, and Zephaniah <6846> the second <4932> priest <3548>, and the three <7969> keepers <8104> of the door <5592>: 25 He took <3947> also out of the city <5892> an eunuch <5631>, which <0834> had <1961> the charge <6496> of the men <0582> of war <4421>; and seven <7651> men <0582> of them that were near <7200> the king's <4428> person <6440>, which <0834> were found <4672> in the city <5892>; and the principal <8269> scribe <5608> of the host <6635>, who mustered <6633> the people <5971> of the land <0776>; and threescore <7657> men <0376> of the people <5971> of the land <0776>, that were found <4672> in the midst <8432> of the city <5892>. 26 So Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> took <3947> them, and brought <3212> them to the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <7247>. 27 And the king <4428> of Babylon <0894> smote <5221> them, and put them to death <4191> in Riblah <7247> in the land <0127> of Hamath <2574>. Thus Judah <3063> was carried <1540> away captive <1540> out of his own land <0127>. 28 This <2088> [is] the people <5971> whom <0834> Nebuchadrezzar <5019> carried <1540> away captive <1540>: in the seventh <7651> year <8141> three <7969> thousand <0505> Jews <3064> and three <7969> and twenty <6242>: 29 In the eighteenth year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> he carried away captive <1540> from Jerusalem <3389> eight <8083> hundred <3967> thirty <7970> and two <8147> persons <5315>: 30 In the three <7969> and twentieth <6242> year <8141> of Nebuchadrezzar <5019> Nebuzaradan <5018> the captain <7227> of the guard <2876> carried <1540> away captive <1540> of the Jews <3064> seven <7651> hundred <3967> forty <0705> and five <2568> persons <5315>: all <3605> the persons <5315> [were] four <0702> thousand <0505> and six <8337> hundred <3967>. 31. And it came <1961> to pass in the seven <7651> and thirtieth <7970> year <8141> of the captivity <1546> of Jehoiachin <3078> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, in the twelfth month <2320>, in the five <2568> and twentieth <6242> [day] of the month <2320>, [that] Evilmerodach <0192> king <4428> of Babylon <0894> in the [first] year <8141> of his reign <4438> lifted <5375> up the head <7218> of Jehoiachin <3078> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and brought <3218> him forth <3318> out of prison <3608>, 32 And spake <1696> kindly <2896> unto him, and set <5414> his throne <3678> above <4605> the throne <3678> of the kings <4428> that [were] with him in Babylon <0894>, 33 And changed <8138> his prison <3608> garments <0899>: and he did continually <8548> eat <0398> bread <3899> before <6440> him all <3605> the days <3117> of his life <2416>. 34 And [for] his diet <0737>, there was a continual <8548> diet <0737> given <5414> him of the king <4428> of Babylon <0894>, every day <3117> a portion <1697> until <5704> the day <3117> of his death <4194>, all <3605> the days <3117> of his life <2416>. ~~~~~~
