Jeremiah 1



 1. The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, of the priests <3548 
kohen > that [were] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in the land 
<0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >:



 2 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 yowm > of 
Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 
>Amown > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, in the 
thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >.



 3 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of 
Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah 
<2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
unto the end <8537 tom > of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 
Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, unto 
the carrying <1540 galah > away of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim 
> captive <1540 galah > in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month 
<2320 chodesh >.



 4. Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 5 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the 
belly <0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee; and before <2962 
terem > thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of 
the womb <7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee, [and] 
I ordained <5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto the 
nations <1471 gowy >.



 6 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136 
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! behold <2009 hinneh >, I cannot 
<3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar >: for I [am] a child <5288 na<ar 
>.



 7 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Say 
<0559 >amar > not, I [am] a child <5288 na<ar >: for thou shalt 
go <3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send <7971 
shalach > thee, and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah > thee 
thou shalt speak <1696 dabar >.



 8 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym >: 
for I [am] with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 9 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 
shalach > his hand <3027 yad >, and touched <5060 naga< > my 
mouth <6310 peh >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar 
> unto me, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have put <5414 nathan > my 
words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh >.



 10 See <7200 ra>ah >, I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > 
set <6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471 gowy > 
and over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, to root 
<5428 nathash > out, and to pull <5422 nathats > down, and to 
destroy <6>, and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac >, to 
build <1129 banah >, and to plant <5193 nata< >.



 11. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >, Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah >, what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I 
said <0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod <4731 maqqel > of 
an almond <8247 shaqed > tree.



 12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me, 
Thou hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah >: for I will 
hasten <8245 shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213 
<asah > it.



 13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time, saying 
<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I 
said <0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a seething <5301 naphach 
> pot <5518 ciyr >; and the face <6440 paniym > thereof [is] 
toward <6440 paniym > the north <6828 tsaphown >.



 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, 
Out of the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall 
break <6605 pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants 
<3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets >.



 15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will call <7121 qara> > all <3605 
kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms <4467 
mamlakah > of the north <6828 tsaphown >, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and they shall come <0935 bow> >, and 
they shall set <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 
>iysh > his throne <3678 kicce> > at the entering <6607 pethach 
> of the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, 
and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah 
> thereof round <5439 cabiyb > about, and against <5921 <al > 
all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah 
>.



 16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat > 
against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > 
their wickedness <7451 ra< >, who have forsaken <5800 <azab > me,
 and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other 
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and worshipped <7812 
shachah > the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own <0249 >ezrach > 
hands <3027 yad >.



 17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen 
>, and arise <6965 quwm >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them all 
<3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee: be not dismayed 
<2865 chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym >, lest <6435 pen > 
I confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440 paniym > them.



 18 For, behold <2009 hinneh >, I have made <5414 nathan > thee 
this day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr 
>, and an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and brasen 
<5178 n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against <5921 <al > the 
whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets >, against the kings <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, against the princes <8269 sar 
> thereof, against the priests <3548 kohen > thereof, and 
against the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >.



 19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee;
 but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee; for I 
[am] with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to 
deliver <5337 natsal > thee.



Jeremiah 2



 1. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241 
>ozen > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, 
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I 
remember <2142 zakar > thee, the kindness <2617 checed > of thy 
youth <5271 na<uwr >, the love <0160 >ahabah > of thine 
espousals <3623 k@luwlah >, when thou wentest <3212 yalak > 
after <0310 >achar > me in the wilderness <4057 midbar >, in a 
land <0776 >erets > [that was] not sown <2232 zara< >.



 3 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [was] holiness <6944 qodesh > unto 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth 
> of his increase <8393 t@buw>ah >: all <3605 kol > that devour 
<0398 >akal > him shall offend <0816 >asham >; evil <7451 ra< > 
shall come <0935 bow> > upon them, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 4 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >,
 and all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the 
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:



 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <1> 
found <4672 matsa> > in me, that they are gone far <7368 rachaq 
> from me, and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > 
vanity <1892 hebel >, and are become <1891 habal > vain <1891 
habal >?



 6 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they, Where <0346 
>ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927 <alah > 
us up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, 
that led <3212 yalak > us through the wilderness <4057 midbar >, 
through a land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160 <arabah > and of 
pits <7745 shuwchah >, through a land <0776 >erets > of drought 
<6723 tsiyah >, and of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death 
<6757 tsalmaveth >, through a land <0776 >erets > that no <3808 
lo> > man <0376 >iysh > passed <5674 <abar > through, and where 
<8033 sham > no <3808 lo> > man <0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab 
>?



 7 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful 
<3759 karmel > country <0776 >erets >, to eat <0398 >akal > the 
fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb > 
thereof; but when ye entered <0935 bow> >, ye defiled <2930 
tame> > my land <0776 >erets >, and made <7760 suwm > mine 
heritage <5159 nachalah > an abomination <8441 tow<ebah >.



 8 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not, Where <0346 
>ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? and they that handle 
<8610 taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< > me not: 
the pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586 pasha< > 
against me, and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 
naba> > by Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and walked <1980 halak > after 
<0310 >achar > [things that] do not profit <3276 ya<al >.



 9. Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead <7378 
riyb > with you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
and with your children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben > will I 
plead <7378 riyb >.



 10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339 
>iy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy >, and see <7200 ra>ah >; and send 
<7971 shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar >, and consider <0995 
biyn > diligently <3966 m@<od >, and see <7200 ra>ah > if there 
be such <2063 zo>th > a thing.



 11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr > [their] gods 
<0430 >elohiym >, which <1992 hem > [are] yet no <3808 lo> > 
gods <0430 >elohiym >? but my people <5971 <am > have changed 
<4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > for [that which <1992 
hem >] doth not profit <3276 ya<al >.



 12 Be astonished <8074 shamem >, O ye heavens <8064 shamayim >, 
at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th >, and be horribly <8175 sa<ar > 
afraid <8175 sa<ar >, be ye very <3966 m@<od > desolate <2717 
charab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two 
<8147 sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< >; they have forsaken <5800 
<azab > me the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay > 
waters <4325 mayim >, [and] hewed <2672 chatsab > them out 
cisterns <0877 bo>r >, broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877 bo>r 
>, that can hold <3557 kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim >.



 14. [Is] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 <ebed >? [is] 
he a homeborn <1004 bayith > [slave]? why <4069 madduwa< > is he 
spoiled <0957 baz >?



 15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared <7580 
rrrsha>ag > upon him, [and] yelled, and they made <7896 shiyth > 
his land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah >: his cities <5892 
<iyr > are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097 b@liy > 
inhabitant <3427 yashab >.



 16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297 Noph 
> and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah > 
the crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod >.



 17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto 
thyself, in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, when <6256 <eth > he led 
<3212 yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek >?



 18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in 
the way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, to drink <8354 
shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883 Shiychowr >? 
or what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of 
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, to drink <8354 shathah > the waters 
<4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar >?



 19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct <3256 yacar > 
thee, and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove <3198 
yakach > thee: know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200 ra>ah 
> that [it is] an evil <7451 ra< > [thing] and bitter <4751 mar 
>, that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and that my fear <6345 pachdah > 
[is] not in thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > 
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 20. For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken <7665 shabar > 
thy yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq > thy bands <4147 
mowcer >; and thou saidst <0559 >amar >, I will not transgress 
<5647 <abad >; when <3588 kiy > upon every <3605 kol > high 
<1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > and under <8478 tachath > 
every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > thou 
wanderest <6808 tsa<ah >, playing the harlot <2181 zanah >.



 21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321 
soreq >, wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233 
zera< >: how <0349 >eyk > then art thou turned <2015 haphak > 
into the degenerate <5494 cuwr > plant of a strange <5237 nokriy 
> vine <1612 gephen > unto me?



 22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with 
nitre <5427 nether >, and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap 
<1287 boriyth >, [yet] thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is marked 
<3799 katham > before <6440 paniym > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



 23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar >, I am not 
polluted <2930 tame> >, I have not gone <1980 halak > after 
<0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al >? see <7200 ra>ah > thy way 
<1870 derek > in the valley <1516 gay> >, know <3045 yada< > 
what <4100 mah > thou hast done <6213 <asah >: [thou art] a 
swift <7031 qal > dromedary <1072 bikrah > traversing <8308 
sarak > her ways <1870 derek >;



 24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd > 
to the wilderness <4057 midbar >, [that] snuffeth <7602 sha>aph 
> up the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure; in her occasion 
<8385 ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > her away? 
all <3605 kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her will not weary 
<3286 ya<aph > themselves; in her month <2320 chodesh > they 
shall find <4672 matsa> > her.



 25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being 
unshod <3182 yacheph >, and thy throat <1627 garown > from 
thirst <6773 tsim>ah >: but thou saidst <0559 >amar >, There is 
no hope <2976 ya>ash >: no <3808 lo> >; for I have loved <0157 
>ahab > strangers <2114 zuwr >, and after <0310 >achar > them 
will I go <3212 yalak >.



 26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth > when 
<3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> >, so <3651 ken > is the 
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed <0954 
buwsh >; they, their kings <4428 melek >, their princes <8269 
sar >, and their priests <3548 kohen >, and their prophets <5030 
nabiy> >,



 27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets >, Thou [art] my 
father <1>; and to a stone <68>, Thou hast brought <3205 yalad > 
me forth <3205 yalad >: for they have turned <6437 panah > 
[their] back <6203 <oreph > unto me, and not [their] face <6440 
paniym >: but in the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451 
ra< > they will say <0559 >amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and save 
<3467 yasha< > us.



 28 But where <0346 >ayeh > [are] thy gods <0430 >elohiym > that 
thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee? let them arise <6965 quwm >, 
if they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time <6256 <eth > of 
thy trouble <7451 ra< >: for [according to] the number <4557 
micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods <0430 >elohiym 
>, O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 29. Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with me? 
ye all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your 
children <1121 ben >; they received <3947 laqach > no <3808 lo> 
> correction <4148 muwcar >: your own sword <2719 chereb > hath 
devoured <0398 >akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> >, like a 
destroying <7843 shachath > lion <0738 >ariy >.



 31 O generation <1755 dowr >, see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word 
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Have I been <1961 
hayah > a wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el 
>? a land <0776 >erets > of darkness <3991 ma>phel@yah >? 
wherefore <4069 madduwa< > say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am 
>, We are lords <7300 ruwd >; we will come <0935 bow> > no <3808 
lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto thee?



 32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her 
ornaments <5716 <adiy >, [or] a bride <3618 kallah > her attire 
<7196 qishshur >? yet my people <5971 <am > have forgotten <7911 
shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > number 
<4557 micpar >.



 33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870 
derek > to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah >? therefore 
<3651 ken > hast thou also <1571 gam > taught <3925 lamad > the 
wicked <7451 ra< > ones thy ways <1870 derek >.



 34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found <4672 
matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh > of 
the poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy >: I have not found <4672 
matsa> > it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290 machtereth >, 
but upon all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >.



 35 Yet thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Because <3588 kiy > I am

plead <8199 shaphat > with thee, because <5921 <al > thou sayest

 36 Why <4100 mah > gaddest <0235 >azal > thou about <0235 >azal

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, as thou wast ashamed <0954 buwsh > of 
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >.



 37 Yea <1571 gam >, thou shalt go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

<7218 ro>sh >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath rejected <3988

prosper <6743 tsalach > in them.



Jeremiah 3



 1. They say <0559 >amar >, If a man <0376 >iysh > put <7971 
shalach > away his wife <0802 >ishshah >, and she go <1980 halak 
> from him, and become <1961 hayah > another <0312 >acher > 
man's <0376 >iysh >, shall he return <7725 shuwb > unto her 
again <5750 <owd >? shall not that land <0776 >erets > be 
greatly polluted <2610 chaneph >? but thou hast played the 
harlot <2181 zanah > with many <7227 rab > lovers <7453 rea< >; 
yet return <7725 shuwb > again to me, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 2 Lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > unto the high 
<8205 sh@phiy > places, and see <7200 ra>ah > where <0375 
>eyphoh > thou hast not been lien <7693 shagal > with. In the 
ways <1870 derek > hast thou sat <3427 yashab > for them, as the 
Arabian <6163 <Arabiy > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >; and 
thou hast polluted <2610 chaneph > the land <0776 >erets > with 
thy whoredoms <2184 z@nuwth > and with thy wickedness <7451 ra< 
>.



 3 Therefore the showers <7241 rabiyb > have been withholden 
<4513 mana< >, and there hath been <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> > 
latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456 malqowsh >; and thou hadst a 
whore's <2181 zanah > forehead <4696 metsach >, thou refusedst 
<3985 ma>en > to be ashamed <3637 kalam >.



 4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258 <attah > cry <7121 qara> > 
unto me, My father <1>, thou [art] the guide <0441 >alluwph > of 
my youth <5271 na<uwr >?



 5 Will he reserve <5201 natar > [his anger] for ever? will he 
keep <8104 shamar > [it] to the end <5331 netsach >? Behold 
<2009 hinneh >, thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > and done <6213 
<asah > evil <7451 ra< > things as thou couldest <3201 yakol >.



 6. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > also unto me in 
the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the king <4428 
melek >, Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah > [that] which <0834 >aher > 
backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath done 
<6213 <asah >? she is gone <1980 halak > up upon every <3605 kol

<3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >, and there 
<8033 sham > hath played the harlot <2181 zanah >.



 7 And I said <0559 >amar > after <0310 >achar > she had done 
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > [things], 
Turn <7725 shuwb > thou unto me. But she returned <7725 shuwb > 
not. And her treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth > 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it].



 8 And I saw <7200 ra>ah >, when <3588 kiy > for all <3605 kol > 
the causes <0182 >owdowth > whereby <0834 >aher > backsliding 
<4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > committed <5003 na>aph

and given <5414 nathan > her a bill <5612 cepher > of divorce 
<3748 k@riythuwth >; yet her treacherous <0898 bagad > sister 
<0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > feared <3372 yare> > not,
 but went <3212 yalak > and played the harlot <2181 zanah > also 
<1571 gam >.



 9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass through the lightness <6963 
qowl > of her whoredom <2184 z@nuwth >, that she defiled <2610 
chaneph > the land <0776 >erets >, and committed <5003 na>aph > 
adultery <5003 na>aph > with stones <68> and with stocks <6086 
<ets >.



 10 And yet for all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > her 
treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > hath not turned <7725 shuwb > unto me with her whole 
<3605 kol > heart <3820 leb >, but feignedly <8267 sheqer >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, The 
backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath 
justified <6663 tsadaq > herself more than treacherous <0898 
bagad > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 12. Go <1980 halak > and proclaim <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-

say <0559 >amar >, Return <7725 shuwb >, thou backsliding <4878 
m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; [and] I will not cause mine anger <6440 
paniym > to fall <5307 naphal > upon you: for I [am] merciful 
<2623 chaciyd >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
[and] I will not keep <5201 natar > [anger] for ever <5769 
<owlam >.



 13 Only <0389 >ak > acknowledge <3045 yada< > thine iniquity 
<5771 <avon >, that thou hast transgressed <6586 pasha< > 
against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and 
hast scattered <6340 pazar > thy ways <1870 derek > to the 
strangers <2114 zuwr > under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > 
green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >, and ye have not obeyed 
<8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 14 Turn <7725 shuwb >, O backsliding <7726 showbab > children 
<1121 ben >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; for I 
am married <1166 ba<al > unto you: and I will take <3947 laqach

sh@nayim > of a family <4940 mishpachah >, and I will bring 
<0935 bow> > you to Zion <6726 Tsiyown >:



 15 And I will give <5414 nathan > you pastors <7462 ra<ah > 
according to mine heart <3820 leb >, which shall feed <7462 
ra<ah > you with knowledge <1844 de<ah > and understanding <7919 
sakal >.



 16 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > ye 
be multiplied <7235 rabah > and increased <6509 parah > in the 
land <0776 >erets >, in those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, they shall say 
<0559 >amar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >, The ark <0727

[it]; neither <3808 lo> > shall [that] be done <6213 <asah > any 
more <5750 <owd >.



 17 At that time <6256 <eth > they shall call <7121 qara> > 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy

<8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb >.



 18 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the house <1004 
bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall walk <3212 yalak > with 
the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and they 
shall come <0935 bow> > together <3162 yachad > out of the land 
<0776 >erets > of the north <6828 tsaphown > to the land <0776

unto your fathers <1>.



 19 But I said <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk > shall I put <7896 
shiyth > thee among the children <1121 ben >, and give <5414 
nathan > thee a pleasant <2532 chemdah > land <0776 >erets >, a 
goodly <6643 ts@biy > heritage <5159 nachalah > of the hosts

 Thou shalt call <7121 qara> > me, My father <1>; and shalt not 
turn <7725 shuwb > away from me.



 20. Surely <0403 >aken > [as] a wife <0802 >ishshah > 
treacherously <0898 bagad > departeth from her husband <1167 
ba<al >, so <3651 ken > have ye dealt treacherously <0898 bagad

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



 21 A voice <6963 qowl > was heard <8085 shama< > upon the high 
<8205 sh@phiy > places, weeping <1065 B@kiy > [and] 
supplications <8469 tachanuwn > of the children <1121 ben > of

their way <1870 derek >, [and] they have forgotten <7911 shakach

 22 Return <7725 shuwb >, ye backsliding <7726 showbab > 
children <1121 ben >, [and] I will heal <7495 rapha> > your 
backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah >. Behold <2005 hen >, we come

 23 Truly <0403 >aken > in vain <8267 sheqer > [is salvation

[is] the salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 24 For shame <1322 bosheth > hath devoured <0398 >akal > the

 25 We lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab > in our shame <1322

Jeremiah 4



 1. If <0518 >im > thou wilt return <7725 shuwb >, O Israel

 2 And thou shalt swear <7650 shaba< >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

nations <1471 gowy > shall bless <1288 barak > themselves in him,
 and in him shall they glory <1984 halal >.



 3. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, Break <5214 niyr > up your

 4 Circumcise <4135 muwl > yourselves to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 5. Declare <5046 nagad > ye in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and 
publish <8085 shama< > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; and 
say <0559 >amar >, Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the trumpet <7782

 6 Set <5375 nasa> > up the standard <5251 nec > toward Zion

for I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > from the north

 7 The lion <0738 >ariy > is come <5927 <alah > up from his

 8 For this <2063 zo>th > gird <2296 chagar > you with sackcloth

the fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068

 9 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass at that day <3117

the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall wonder <8539 tamahh >.



 10 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136

Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm >; whereas the

 11 At that time <6256 <eth > shall it be said <0559 >amar > to

toward the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >, not

 12 [Even] a full <4392 male> > wind <7307 ruwach > from those

<6258 <attah > also <1571 gam > will I give <1696 dabar > 
sentence <4941 mishpat > against them.



 13 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up as 
clouds <6053 <ananah >, and his chariots <4818 merkabah > [shall

 14 O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, wash <3526 kabac > thine

be saved <3467 yasha< >. How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall

 16 Make ye mention <2142 zakar > to the nations <1471 gowy >;

 17 As keepers <8104 shamar > of a field <7704 sadeh >, are they

 18 Thy way <1870 derek > and thy doings <4611 ma<alal > have

this <2063 zo>th > [is] thy wickedness <7451 ra< >, because

 19. My bowels <4578 me<ah >, my bowels <4578 me<ah >! I am

my heart <3820 leb > maketh a noise <1993 hamah > in me; I

 20 Destruction <7667 sheber > upon destruction <7667 sheber >

 22 For my people <5971 <am > [is] foolish <0191 >eviyl >, they

 23 I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the earth <0776 >erets >, and, lo

>, and void <0922 bohuw >; and the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and 
they [had] no <0369 >ayin > light <0216 >owr >.



 24 I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the mountains <2022 har >, and, lo 
<2009 hinneh >, they trembled <7493 ra<ash >, and all <3605 kol 
> the hills <1389 gib<ah > moved <7043 qalal > lightly <7043 
qalal >.



 25 I beheld <7200 ra>ah >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, [there was] 
no <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam >, and all <3605 kol > the 
birds <5775 <owph > of the heavens <8064 shamayim > were fled 
<5074 nadad >.



 26 I beheld <7200 ra>ah >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, the fruitful 
<3759 karmel > place [was] a wilderness <4057 midbar >, and all 
<3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof were broken <5422 
nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence <6440 paniym > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] by his fierce <2740 charown > 
anger <0639 >aph >.



 27 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said 
<0559 >amar >, The whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall 
be desolate <8077 sh@mamah >; yet will I not make <6213 <asah > 
a full end <3615 kalah >.



 28 For this <2063 zo>th > shall the earth <0776 >erets > mourn 
<56>, and the heavens <8064 shamayim > above <4605 ma<al > be 
black <6937 qadar >: because I have spoken <1696 dabar > [it], I 
have purposed <2161 zamam > [it], and will not repent <5162 
nacham >, neither <3808 lo> > will I turn <7725 shuwb > back 
<7725 shuwb > from it.



 29 The whole <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > shall flee <1272 
barach > for the noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen <6571 parash 
> and bowmen; they shall go <0935 bow> > into thickets <5645 <ab 
>, and climb <5927 <alah > up upon the rocks <3710 keph >: every 
<3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > [shall be] forsaken <5800 <azab >, 
and not a man <0376 >iysh > dwell <3427 yashab > therein <2004 
hen >.



 30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703 shadad >, what <4100 mah 
> wilt thou do <6213 <asah >? Though <3588 kiy > thou clothest 
<3847 labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy >, though <3588 
kiy > thou deckest <5710 <adah > thee with ornaments <5716 <adiy 
> of gold <2091 zahab >, though <3588 kiy > thou rentest <7167 
qara< > thy face <5869 <ayin > with painting <6320 puwk >, in 
vain <7723 shav> > shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah >; 
[thy] lovers <5689 <agab > will despise <3988 ma>ac > thee, they 
will seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.



 31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a 
woman in travail <2470 chalah >, [and] the anguish <6869 tsarah 
> as of her that bringeth <1069 bakar > forth her first <1069 
bakar > child, the voice <6963 qowl > of the daughter <1323 bath 
> of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, [that] bewaileth <3306 yaphach > 
herself, [that] spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph >, 
[saying], Woe <0188 >owy > [is] me now <4994 na> >! for my soul 
<5315 nephesh > is wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers 
<2026 harag >.



Jeremiah 5



 1. Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the 
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and 
see <7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> >, and know <3045 yada< >, and 
seek <1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof, 
if <0518 >im > ye can find <4672 matsa> > a man <0376 >iysh >, 
if <0518 >im > there be [any] that executeth <6213 <asah > 
judgment <4941 mishpat >, that seeketh <1245 baqash > the truth 
<0530 >emuwnah >; and I will pardon <5545 calach > it.



 2 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; surely <0403 >aken > they swear 
<7650 shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >.



 3 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [are] not thine eyes <5869 <ayin > 
upon the truth <0530 >emuwnah >? thou hast stricken <5221 nakah 
> them, but they have not grieved <2342 chuwl >; thou hast 
consumed <3615 kalah > them, [but] they have refused <3985 ma>en 
> to receive <3947 laqach > correction <4148 muwcar >: they have 
made their faces <6440 paniym > harder <2388 chazaq > than a 
rock <5553 cela< >; they have refused <3985 ma>en > to return 
<7725 shuwb >.



 4 Therefore I said <0559 >amar >, Surely <0389 >ak > these 
<1992 hem > [are] poor <1800 dal >; they are foolish <2973 ya>al 
>: for they know <3045 yada< > not the way <1870 derek > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [nor] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of 
their God <0430 >elohiym >.



 5 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl > men,
 and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them; for they have known 
<3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
[and] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >:
 but these <1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken 
<7665 shabar > the yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq > 
the bonds <4147 mowcer >.



 6 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar 
> shall slay <5221 nakah > them, [and] a wolf <2061 z@>eb > of 
the evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them, a 
leopard <5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al 
> their cities <5892 <iyr >: every one that goeth <3318 yatsa> > 
out thence <2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces:
 because <3588 kiy > their transgressions <6588 pesha< > are 
many <7231 rabab >, [and] their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > 
are increased <6105 <atsam >.



 7 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this 
<2063 zo>th >? thy children <1121 ben > have forsaken <5800 
<azab > me, and sworn <7650 shaba< > by [them that are] no <3808 
lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym >: when I had fed them to the full 
<7646 saba< >, they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 
na>aph >, and assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in 
the harlots <2181 zanah >' houses <1004 bayith >.



 8 They were [as] fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the 
morning <7904 shakah >: every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > 
neighed <6670 tsahal > after <0413 >el > his neighbour's <7453 
rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah >.



 9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el-leh > 
[things]? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and 
shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on 
such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh >?



 10. Go <5927 <alah > ye up upon her walls <8284 sharah >, and 
destroy <7843 shachath >; but make <6213 <asah > not a full end 
<3615 kalah >: take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her 
battlements <5189 n@tiyshah >; for they [are] not the LORD'S 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 11 For the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and 
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have dealt 
very treacherously <0898 bagad > against me, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 12 They have belied <3584 kachash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
and said <0559 >amar >, [It is] not he; neither <3808 lo> > 
shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon us; neither <3808 
lo> > shall we see <7200 ra>ah > sword <2719 chereb > nor famine 
<7458 ra<ab >:



 13 And the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall become <1961 hayah > 
wind <7307 ruwach >, and the word <1699 dober > [is] not in them:
 thus <3541 koh > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them.



 14 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 
tsaba> >, Because <3282 ya<an > ye speak <1696 dabar > this 
<2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >, behold <2005 hen >, I will make 
<5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh > 
fire <0784 >esh >, and this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > wood 
<6086 <ets >, and it shall devour <0398 >akal > them.



 15 Lo <2009 hinneh >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a nation <1471 
gowy > upon you from far <4801 merchaq >, O house <1004 bayith > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >: it [is] a mighty <0386 >eythan > nation <1471 gowy >, 
it [is] an ancient <5769 <owlam > nation <1471 gowy >, a nation 
<1471 gowy > whose language <3956 lashown > thou knowest <3045 
yada< > not, neither <3808 lo> > understandest <8085 shama< > 
what <4100 mah > they say <1696 dabar >.



 16 Their quiver <0827 >ashpah > [is] as an open <6605 pathach > 
sepulchre <6913 qeber >, they [are] all <3605 kol > mighty <1368 
gibbowr > men.



 17 And they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thine harvest <7105 
qatsiyr >, and thy bread <3899 lechem >, [which] thy sons <1121 
ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > should eat <0398 >akal >: 
they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy flocks <6629 tso>n > and 
thine herds <1241 baqar >: they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy 
vines <1612 gephen > and thy fig <8384 t@>en > trees: they shall 
impoverish <7567 rashash > thy fenced <4013 mibtsar > cities 
<5892 <iyr >, wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustedst <0982 batach 
>, with the sword <2719 chereb >.



 18 Nevertheless <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117 
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I will not 
make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > with you.



 19 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > ye 
shall say <0559 >amar >, Wherefore doeth <6213 <asah > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > all <3605 kol > these 
<0428 >el-leh > [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer <0559 
>amar > them, Like as ye have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and 
served <5647 <abad > strange <5236 nekar > gods <0430 >elohiym > 
in your land <0776 >erets >, so <3651 ken > shall ye serve <5647 
<abad > strangers <2114 zuwr > in a land <0776 >erets > [that 
is] not yours.



 20. Declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > in the house <1004 
bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and publish <8085 shama< > it 
in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 21 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th >, O 
foolish <5530 cakal > people <5971 <am >, and without <0369 
>ayin > understanding <3820 leb >; which have eyes <5869 <ayin >,
 and see <7200 ra>ah > not; which have ears <0241 >ozen >, and 
hear <8085 shama< > not:



 22 Fear <3372 yare> > ye not me? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >: will ye not tremble <2342 chuwl > at my 
presence <6440 paniym >, which <0834 >aher > have placed <0776

of the sea <3220 yam > by a perpetual <5769 <owlam > decree 
<2706 choq >, that it cannot <3201 yakol > pass <5674 <abar > it:
 and though the waves <1530 gal > thereof toss <1607 ga<ash > 
themselves, yet can they not prevail <3201 yakol >; though they 
roar <1993 hamah >, yet can <3201 yakol > they not pass <5674 
<abar > over <5674 <abar > it?



 23 But this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath a revolting 
<5637 carar > and a rebellious <4784 marah > heart <3820 leb >; 
they are revolted <5498 cachab > and gone <3212 yalak >.



 24 Neither <3808 lo> > say <0559 >amar > they in their heart 
<3824 lebab >, Let us now <4994 na> > fear <3372 yare> > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >, that giveth <5414 
nathan > rain <1653 geshem >, both the former <3138 yowreh > and 
the latter <4456 malqowsh >, in his season <6256 <eth >: he 
reserveth <8104 shamar > unto us the appointed <2708 chuqqah > 
weeks <7620 shabuwa< > of the harvest <7105 qatsiyr >.



 25. Your iniquities <5771 <avon > have turned <5186 natah > 
away these <0428 >el-leh > [things], and your sins <2403 
chatta>ah > have withholden <4513 mana< > good <2896 towb > 
[things] from you.



 26 For among my people <5971 <am > are found <4672 matsa> > 
wicked <7563 rasha< > [men]: they lay wait <7789 shuwr >, as he 
that setteth <7918 shakak > snares <3353 yaquwsh >; they set 
<5324 natsab > a trap <4889 mashchiyth >, they catch <3920 lakad

 27 As a cage <3619 k@lub > is full <4392 male> > of birds <5775 
<owph >, so <3651 ken > [are] their houses <1004 bayith > full 
<4392 male> > of deceit <4820 mirmah >: therefore they are 
become <6238 <ashar > great <1431 gadal >, and waxen rich <6238 
<ashar >.



 28 They are waxen fat <8080 shaman >, they shine <6245 <ashath

dabar > of the wicked <7451 ra< >: they judge <1777 diyn > not 
the cause <1779 diyn >, the cause of the fatherless <3490 
yathowm >, yet they prosper <6743 tsalach >; and the right <4941 
mishpat > of the needy <34> do they not judge <8199 shaphat >.



 29 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el-leh > 
[things]? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: shall 
not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such 
<0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this?



 30 A wonderful <8047 shammah > and horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > 
thing is committed <1961 hayah > in the land <0776 >erets >;



 31 The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely 
<8267 sheqer >, and the priests <3548 kohen > bear <7287 radah > 
rule <7287 radah > by their means <3027 yad >; and my people 
<5971 <am > love <0157 >ahab > [to have it] so <3651 ken >: and 
what <4100 mah > will ye do <6213 <asah > in the end <0319

Jeremiah 6



 1. O ye children <1121 ben > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, 
gather <5756 <uwz > yourselves to flee <5756 <uwz > out of the 
midst <7130 qereb > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and blow 
<8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > in Tekoa <8620 
T@qowa< >, and set <5375 nasa> > up a sign <4864 mas>eth > of 
fire in Bethhaccerem <1021 Beyth hak-Kerem >: for evil <7451 ra< 
> appeareth <8259 shaqaph > out of the north <6828 tsaphown >, 
and great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >.



 2 I have likened <1819 damah > the daughter <1323 bath > of 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > to a comely <5000 na>veh > and delicate 
<6026 <anag > [woman].



 3 The shepherds <7462 ra<ah > with their flocks <5739 <eder > 
shall come <0935 bow> > unto her; they shall pitch <8628 taqa< > 
[their] tents <0168 >ohel > against <5921 <al > her round <5439 
cabiyb > about; they shall feed <7462 ra<ah > every <0376 >iysh

 4 Prepare <6942 qadash > ye war <4421 milchamah > against <5921 
<al > her; arise <6965 quwm >, and let us go <5927 <alah > up at 
noon <6672 tsohar >. Woe <0188 >owy > unto us! for the day <3117 
yowm > goeth <6437 panah > away, for the shadows <6752 tselel > 
of the evening <6153 <ereb > are stretched <5186 natah > out.



 5 Arise <6965 quwm >, and let us go <5927 <alah > by night 
<3915 layil >, and let us destroy <7843 shachath > her palaces 
<0759 >armown >.



 6 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> > said <0559 >amar >, Hew <3772 karath > ye down 
trees <6097 <etsah >, and cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550 
col@lah > against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: 
this <1931 huw> > [is] the city <5892 <iyr > to be visited <6485 
paqad >; she [is] wholly <3605 kol > oppression <6233 <osheq > 
in the midst <7130 qereb > of her.



 7 As a fountain <0953 bowr > casteth <6979 quwr > out her 
waters <4325 mayim >, so <3651 ken > she casteth <6979 quwr > 
out her wickedness <7451 ra< >: violence <2555 chamac > and 
spoil <7701 shod > is heard <8085 shama< > in her; before me 
continually <8548 tamiyd > [is] grief <2483 choliy > and wounds 
<4347 makkah >.



 8 Be thou instructed <3256 yacar >, O Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, lest <6435 pen > my soul <5315 nephesh > depart 
<3363 yaqa< > from thee; lest <6435 pen > I make <7760 suwm > 
thee desolate <8077 sh@mamah >, a land <0776 >erets > not 
inhabited <3427 yashab >.



 9. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, They shall throughly glean <5953 
<alal > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

 10 To whom <4310 miy > shall I speak <1696 dabar >, and give 
warning <5749 <uwd >, that they may hear <8085 shama< >? behold 
<2009 hinneh >, their ear <0241 >ozen > [is] uncircumcised <6189 
<arel >, and they cannot hearken <7181 qashab >: behold <2009 
hinneh >, the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is 
unto them a reproach <2781 cherpah >; they have no <3808 lo> > 
delight <2654 chaphets > in it.



 11 Therefore I am full <4392 male> > of the fury <2534 chemah > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I am weary <3811 la>ah > with 
holding <3557 kuwl > in: I will pour <8210 shaphak > it out upon 
the children <5768 <owlel > abroad <2351 chuwts >, and upon the 
assembly <5475 cowd > of young <0970 bachuwr > men together 
<3162 yachad >: for even <1571 gam > the husband <0376 >iysh > 
with the wife <0802 >ishshah > shall be taken <3920 lakad >, the 
aged <2205 zaqen > with [him that is] full <4390 male> > of days 
<3117 yowm >.



 12 And their houses <1004 bayith > shall be turned <5437 cabab 
> unto others <0312 >acher >, [with their] fields <7704 sadeh > 
and wives <0802 >ishshah > together <3162 yachad >: for I will 
stretch <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > upon the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 13 For from the least <6996 qatan > of them even unto the 
greatest <1419 gadowl > of them every <3605 kol > one [is] given 
to covetousness <1215 betsa< >; and from the prophet <5030

 14 They have healed <7495 rapha> > also the hurt <7667 sheber > 
[of the daughter] of my people <5971 <am > slightly <7043 qalal

 15 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had 
committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >? nay <1571 
gam >, they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh >, neither could 
<3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam >: therefore <3651 ken > 
they shall fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall <5307 naphal

they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782 kashal >, saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



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

shall find <4672 matsa> > rest <4771 margowa< > for your souls 
<5315 nephesh >. But they said <0559 >amar >, We will not walk 
<3212 yalak > [therein].



 17 Also I set <6965 quwm > watchmen <6822 tsaphah > over <5921

 18. Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< >, ye nations <1471

what [is] among them.



 19 Hear <8085 shama< >, O earth <0776 >erets >: behold <2009

<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, [even] the fruit <6529 p@riy >

 20 To what <4100 mah > purpose cometh <0935 bow> > there to me 
incense <3828 l@bownah > from Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >, and the 
sweet <2896 towb > cane <7070 qaneh > from a far <4801 merchaq >

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

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

 23 They shall lay hold <2388 chazaq > on bow <7198 qesheth >

and have no <3808 lo> > mercy <7355 racham >; their voice <6963

ride <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc >, set in array <6186

 24 We have heard <8085 shama< > the fame <8089 shoma< > thereof:
 our hands <3027 yad > wax feeble <7503 raphah >: anguish <6869

 29 The bellows <4647 mappuach > are burned <2787 charar >, the

Jeremiah 7



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 2 Stand <5975 <amad > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD'S 
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >, and proclaim <7121 qara> > 
there <8033 sham > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >, and say 
<0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > [ye of] Judah <3063

gates <8179 sha<ar > to worship <7812 shachah > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, Amend <3190 yatab > your ways <1870 derek > 
and your doings <4611 ma<alal >, and I will cause you to dwell 
<7931 shakan > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



 4 Trust <0982 batach > ye not in lying <8267 sheqer > words 
<1697 dabar >, saying <0559 >amar >, The temple <1964 heykal > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, The temple <1964 heykal > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, The temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD

 5 For if <0518 >im > ye throughly amend <3190 yatab > your ways 
<1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal >; if <0518 >im > ye 
throughly execute <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > between 
<0996 beyn > a man <0376 >iysh > and his neighbour <7453 rea< >;



 6 [If] ye oppress <6231 <ashaq > not the stranger <1616 ger >, 
the fatherless <3490 yathowm >, and the widow <0490 >almanah >, 
and shed <8210 shaphak > not innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818

 7 Then will I cause you to dwell <7931 shakan > in this <2088

gave <5414 nathan > to your fathers <1>, for ever <5769 <owlam > 
and ever <5769 <owlam >.



 8 Behold <2009 hinneh >, ye trust <0982 batach > in lying <8267 
sheqer > words <1697 dabar >, that cannot <1115 biltiy > profit 
<3276 ya<al >.



 9 Will ye steal <1589 ganab >, murder <7523 ratsach >, and 
commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph >, and swear <7650 
shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >, and burn <6999 qatar > incense 
<6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and walk <1980 halak > 
after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > 
whom <0834 >aher > ye know <3045 yada< > not;



 10 And come <0935 bow> > and stand <5975 <amad > before <6440

<0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >, 
and say <0559 >amar >, We are delivered <5337 natsal > to do 
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > abominations 
<8441 tow<ebah >?



 11 Is this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher

have seen <7200 ra>ah > [it], saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 12 But go <3212 yalak > ye now <4994 na> > unto my place <4725 
maqowm > which <0834 >aher > [was] in Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, 
where I set <7931 shakan > my name <8034 shem > at the first

to it for the wickedness <7451 ra< > of my people <5971 <am > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 13 And now <4994 na> >, because <3282 ya<an > ye have done 
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > works <4639 
ma<aseh >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and I 
spake <1696 dabar > unto you, rising <7925 shakam > up early 
<7925 shakam > and speaking <1696 dabar >, but ye heard <8085 
shama< > not; and I called <7121 qara> > you, but ye answered 
<6030 <anah > not;



 14 Therefore will I do <6213 <asah > unto [this] house <1004 
bayith >, which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name 
<8034 shem >, wherein <0834 >aher > ye trust <0982 batach >, and 
unto the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher > I gave <5414 
nathan > to you and to your fathers <1>, as I have done <6213 
<asah > to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >.



 15 And I will cast <7993 shalak > you out of my sight <6440

brethren <0251 >ach >, [even <0853 >eth >] the whole <3605 kol > 
seed <2233 zera< > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim >.



 16. Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this <2088 zeh > 
people <5971 <am >, neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up 
cry <7440 rinnah > nor <0408 >al > prayer <8605 t@phillah > for 
them, neither <0408 >al > make intercession <6293 paga< > to me: 
for I will not hear <8085 shama< > thee.



 17 Seest <7200 ra>ah > thou not what <4100 mah > they do <6213 
<asah > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and 
in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >?



 18 The children <1121 ben > gather <3950 laqat > wood <6086 
<ets >, and the fathers <1> kindle <1197 ba<ar > the fire <0784

[their] dough <1217 batseq >, to make <6213 <asah > cakes <3561

<5262 necek > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, 
that they may provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >.



 19 Do they provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >? saith <5002 n@>um

to the confusion <1322 bosheth > of their own faces <6440 paniym

 20 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; Behold <2009 
hinneh >, mine anger <0639 >aph > and my fury <2534 chemah > 
shall be poured <5413 nathak > out upon this <2088 zeh > place 
<4725 maqowm >, upon man <0120 >adam >, and upon beast <0929

sadeh >, and upon the fruit <6529 p@riy > of the ground <0127 
>adamah >; and it shall burn <1197 ba<ar >, and shall not be 
quenched <3518 kabah >.



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

<3478 Yisra>el >; Put <5595 caphah > your burnt <5930 <olah > 
offerings unto your sacrifices <2077 zebach >, and eat <0398

 22 For I spake <1696 dabar > not unto your fathers <1>, nor 
<3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them in the day <3117 yowm

<olah > offerings or sacrifices <2077 zebach >:



 23 But this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > commanded <6680 
tsavah > I them, saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my 
voice <6963 qowl >, and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym >, and 
ye shall be my people <5971 <am >: and walk <1980 halak > ye in 
all <3605 kol > the ways <1870 derek > that I have commanded 
<6680 tsavah > you, that it may be well <3190 yatab > unto you.



 24 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> > 
inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212 
yalak > in the counsels <4156 mow<etsah > [and] in the 
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart 
<3820 leb >, and went <1961 hayah > backward <0268 >achowr >, 
and not forward <6440 paniym >.



 25 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that your fathers <1> 
came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776

<3117 yowm > I have even sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605

daily <3117 yowm > rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam >

 26 Yet they hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto me, nor <3808 lo>

<7185 qashah > their neck <6202 <araph >: they did worse <7489

 27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > 
these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > unto them; but they 
will not hearken <8085 shama< > to thee: thou shalt also call 
<7121 qara> > unto them; but they will not answer <6030 <anah > 
thee.



 28 But thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, This <2088 zeh > 
[is] a nation <1471 gowy > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the 
voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430

<4148 muwcar >: truth <0530 >emuwnah > is perished <6>, and is 
cut <3772 karath > off from their mouth <6310 peh >.



 29. Cut <1494 gazaz > off thine hair <5145 nezer >, [O

nasa> > up a lamentation <7015 qiynah > on <5921 <al > high

rejected <3988 ma>ac > and forsaken <5203 natash > the 
generation <1755 dowr > of his wrath <5678 <ebrah >.



 30 For the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have 
done <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869 <ayin >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: they have set 
<7760 suwm > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > in the house 
<1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my 
name <8034 shem >, to pollute <2930 tame> > it.



 31 And they have built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah > 
places of Tophet <8612 Topheth >, which <0834 >aher > [is] in 
the valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 
Hinnom >, to burn <8313 saraph > their sons <1121 ben > and 
their daughters <1121 ben > in the fire <0784 >esh >; which 
<0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > [them] not, neither 
<3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah > it into <5921 <al > my heart 
<3820 leb >.



 32 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

<1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom >, 
but the valley <1516 gay> > of slaughter <2028 haregah >: for 
they shall bury <6912 qabar > in Tophet <8612 Topheth >, till 
there be no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm >.



 33 And the carcases <5038 n@belah > of this <2088 zeh > people 
<5971 <am > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775

b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >; and none <0369 >ayin > 
shall fray <2729 charad > [them] away.



 34 Then will I cause to cease <7673 shabath > from the cities 
<5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and from the streets 
<2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the voice

of gladness <8057 simchah >, the voice <6963 qowl > of the 
bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of the

 2 And they shall spread <7849 shatach > them before the sun

<0127 >adamah >.



 3 And death <4194 maveth > shall be chosen <0977 bachar > 
rather than life <2416 chay > by all <3605 kol > the residue

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 4. Moreover thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 
koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Shall they 
fall <5307 naphal >, and not arise <6965 quwm >? shall he turn 
<7725 shuwb > away, and not return <7725 shuwb >?



 5 Why <4069 madduwa< > [then] is this <2088 zeh > people <5971 
<am > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > slidden <7725 shuwb > 
back <7725 shuwb > by a perpetual <5331 netsach > backsliding 
<4878 m@shuwbah >? they hold <2388 chazaq > fast deceit <8649 
tormah >, they refuse <3985 ma>en > to return <7725 shuwb >.



 6 I hearkened <8085 shama< > and heard <8085 shama< >, [but] 
they spake <1696 dabar > not aright <3651 ken >: no <0369 >ayin

wickedness <7451 ra< >, saying <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > 
have I done <6213 <asah >? every <3605 kol > one turned <7725 
shuwb > to his course <4794 m@ruwtsah >, as the horse <5483 cuwc

 7 Yea <1571 gam >, the stork <2624 chaciydah > in the heaven 
<8064 shamayim > knoweth <3045 yada< > her appointed <4150 
mow<ed > times <6256 <eth >; and the turtle <8449 towr > and the 
crane <5483 cuwc > and the swallow <5693 <aguwr > observe <8104 
shamar > the time <6256 <eth > of their coming <0935 bow> >; but 
my people <5971 <am > know <3045 yada< > not the judgment <4941 
mishpat > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 8 How <0349 >eyk > do ye say <0559 >amar >, We [are] wise <2450 
chakam >, and the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
[is] with us? Lo <2009 hinneh >, certainly <0403 >aken > in vain 
<8267 sheqer > made <6213 <asah > he [it]; the pen <5842 <et > 
of the scribes <5608 caphar > [is] in vain <8267 sheqer >.



 9 The wise <2450 chakam > [men] are ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they 
are dismayed <2865 chathath > and taken: lo <2009 hinneh >, they 
have rejected <3988 ma>ac > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; and what <4100 mah > wisdom <2451 chokmah > 
[is] in them?



 10 Therefore <3651 ken > will I give <5414 nathan > their wives 
<0802 >ishshah > unto others <0312 >acher >, [and] their fields 
<7704 sadeh > to them that shall inherit <3423 yarash > [them]: 
for every <3605 kol > one from the least <6996 qatan > even unto 
the greatest <1419 gadowl > is given to covetousness <1215 
betsa< >, from the prophet <5030 nabiy> > even unto the priest 
<3548 kohen > every <3605 kol > one dealeth <6213 <asah > 
falsely <8267 sheqer >.



 11 For they have healed <7495 rapha> > the hurt <7667 sheber > 
of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > slightly 
<7043 qalal >, saying <0559 >amar >, Peace <7965 shalowm >, 
peace <7965 shalowm >; when [there is] no <0369 >ayin > peace 
<7965 shalowm >.



 12 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had 
committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >? nay <1571 
gam >, they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh >, neither <3808 
lo> > could <3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam >: therefore 
<3651 ken > shall they fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall 
<5307 naphal >: in the time <6256 <eth > of their visitation 
<6486 p@quddah > they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782 
kashal >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 13. I will surely consume <5486 cuwph > them, saith <5002 n@>um

grapes <6025 <enab > on the vine <1612 gephen >, nor <0369 >ayin

<5929 <aleh > shall fade <5034 nabel >; and [the things that] I 
have given <5414 nathan > them shall pass <5674 <abar > away 
from them.



 14 Why do we sit <3427 yashab > still? assemble <0622 >acaph > 
yourselves, and let us enter <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the 
defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr >, and let us be 
silent <1826 damam > there <8033 sham >: for the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > hath put us to silence <1826 
damam >, and given us water <4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > 
to drink <8248 shaqah >, because <3588 kiy > we have sinned 
<2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 15 We looked <6960 qavah > for peace <7965 shalowm >, but no 
<0369 >ayin > good <2896 towb > [came; and] for a time <6256 
<eth > of health <4832 marpe> >, and behold <2009 hinneh > 
trouble <1205 b@<athah >!



 16 The snorting <5170 nachar > of his horses <5483 cuwc > was 
heard <8085 shama< > from Dan <1835 Dan >: the whole <3605 kol > 
land <0776 >erets > trembled <7493 ra<ash > at the sound <6963 
qowl > of the neighing <4684 matshalah > of his strong <47> ones;
 for they are come <0935 bow> >, and have devoured <0398 >akal > 
the land <0776 >erets >, and all <4393 m@lo> > that is in it; 
the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that dwell <3427 yashab > 
therein.



 17 For, behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > 
serpents <5175 nachash >, cockatrices <6848 tsepha< >, among you,
 which <0834 >aher > [will] not [be] charmed <3908 lachash >, 
and they shall bite <5391 nashak > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 18 [When] I would comfort <4010 mabliygiyth > myself against 
sorrow <3015 yagown >, my heart <3820 leb > [is] faint <1742 
davvay > in me.



 19 Behold <2009 hinneh > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cry 
<7775 shav<ah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971

country <0776 >erets >: [Is] not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in 
Zion <6726 Tsiyown >? [is] not her king <4428 melek > in her? 
Why <4069 madduwa< > have they provoked me to anger <3707 ka<ac 
> with their graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, [and] with strange 
<5236 nekar > vanities <1892 hebel >?



 20 The harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is past <5674 <abar >, the 
summer <7019 qayits > is ended <3615 kalah >, and we are not 
saved <3467 yasha< >.



 21 For the hurt <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of 
my people <5971 <am > am I hurt <7665 shabar >; I am black <6937 
qadar >; astonishment <8047 shammah > hath taken <2388 chazaq > 
hold <2388 chazaq > on me.



 22 [Is there] no <0369 >ayin > balm <6875 ts@riy > in Gilead 
<1568 Gil<ad >; [is there] no <0369 >ayin > physician <7495 
rapha> > there? why <4069 madduwa< > then <3588 kiy > is not the 
health <0724 >aruwkah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my 
people <5971 <am > recovered <5927 <alah >?



Jeremiah 9



 1. Oh that my head <7218 ro>sh > were waters <4325 mayim >, and 
mine eyes <5869 <ayin > a fountain <4726 maqowr > of tears <1832

night <3915 layil > for the slain <2491 chalal > of the daughter

 2 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057 midbar > a lodging 
<4411 malown > place of wayfaring <0732 >arach > men; that I 
might leave <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am >, and go <3212 
yalak > from them! for they [be] all <3605 kol > adulterers 
<5003 na>aph >, an assembly <6116 <atsarah > of treacherous 
<0898 bagad > men.



 3 And they bend <1869 darak > their tongues <3956 lashown > 
[like] their bow <7198 qesheth > [for] lies <8267 sheqer >: but 
they are not valiant <1396 gabar > for the truth <0530 >emuwnah

from evil <7451 ra< > to evil <7451 ra< >, and they know <3045 
yada< > not me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 4 Take ye heed <8104 shamar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

ye not in any <3605 kol > brother <0251 >ach >: for every <3605

and every <3605 kol > neighbour <7453 rea< > will walk <1980

 5 And they will deceive <2048 hathal > every <0376 >iysh > one 
<0376 >iysh > his neighbour <7453 rea< >, and will not speak 
<1696 dabar > the truth <0571 >emeth >: they have taught <3925

<8267 sheqer >, [and] weary <3811 la>ah > themselves to commit 
<5753 <avah > iniquity <5753 <avah >.



 6 Thine habitation <3427 yashab > [is] in the midst <8432 tavek

refuse <3985 ma>en > to know <3045 yada< > me, saith <5002 n@>um

 7 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Behold <2005

them; for how <0349 >eyk > shall I do <6213 <asah > for the 
daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >?



 8 Their tongue <3956 lashown > [is as] an arrow <2671 chets > 
shot <7819 shachat > out; it speaketh <1696 dabar > deceit <4820 
mirmah >: [one] speaketh <1696 dabar > peaceably <7965 shalowm > 
to his neighbour <7453 rea< > with his mouth <6310 peh >, but in 
heart <7130 qereb > he layeth <7760 suwm > his wait <0696 >oreb

 9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > them for these <0428 >el-leh

not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such 
<0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh >?



 10 For the mountains <2022 har > will I take <5375 nasa> > up a 
weeping <1065 B@kiy > and wailing <5092 n@hiy >, and for the 
habitations <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > a 
lamentation <7015 qiynah >, because <3588 kiy > they are burned 
<3341 yatsath > up, so that none can <3201 yakol > pass <5674

[men] hear <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cattle 
<4735 miqneh >; both the fowl <5775 <owph > of the heavens <8064 
shamayim > and the beast <0929 b@hemah > are fled <5074 nadad >; 
they are gone <1980 halak >.



 11 And I will make <5414 nathan > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

tanniyn >; and I will make <5414 nathan > the cities <5892 <iyr

<1097 b@liy > an inhabitant <3427 yashab >.



 12. Who <4310 miy > [is] the wise <2450 chakam > man <0376

and [who is he] to whom <0834 >aher > the mouth <6310 peh > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >, that he may 
declare <5046 nagad > it, for what <4100 mah > the land <0776

wilderness <4057 midbar >, that none <1997 Hamownah > passeth 
<5674 <abar > through?



 13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar >, Because 
<5921 <al > they have forsaken <5800 <azab > my law <8451 towrah

them, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >, 
neither <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > therein;



 14 But have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the 
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their own heart <3820 leb >, 
and after <0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher

 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I 
will feed <0398 >akal > them, [even] this <2088 zeh > people 
<5971 <am >, with wormwood <3939 la<anah >, and give them water 
<4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > to drink <8248 shaqah >.



 16 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them also among the heathen 
<1471 gowy >, whom <0834 >aher > neither <3808 lo> > they nor 
their fathers <1> have known <3045 yada< >: and I will send 
<7971 shalach > a sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them,
 till <5704 <ad > I have consumed <3615 kalah > them.



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

<7121 qara> > for the mourning <6969 quwn > women, that they may 
come <0935 bow> >; and send <7971 shalach > for cunning <2450

 18 And let them make haste <4116 mahar >, and take <5375 nasa>

may run <3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah >, and our 
eyelids <6079 <aph<aph > gush <5140 nazal > out with waters 
<4325 mayim >.



 19 For a voice <6963 qowl > of wailing <5092 n@hiy > is heard 
<8085 shama< > out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, How <0349 >eyk > are 
we spoiled <7703 shadad >! we are greatly <3966 m@<od > 
confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have forsaken 
<5800 <azab > the land <0776 >erets >, because <3588 kiy > our 
dwellings <4908 mishkan > have cast <7993 shalak > [us] out.



 20 Yet <3588 kiy > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, O ye women <0802 >ishshah >, and 
let your ear <0241 >ozen > receive <3947 laqach > the word <1697

daughters <1121 ben > wailing <5092 n@hiy >, and every <0802

qiynah >.



 21 For death <4194 maveth > is come <5927 <alah > up into our 
windows <2474 challown >, [and] is entered <0935 bow> > into our 
palaces <0759 >armown >, to cut <3772 karath > off the children

 22 Speak <1696 dabar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Even the carcases <5038 n@belah > of 
men <0120 >adam > shall fall <5307 naphal > as dung <1828 domen

qatsar >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall gather <0622 >acaph > 
[them].



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

 24 But let him that glorieth <1984 halal > glory <1984 halal > 
in this <2063 zo>th >, that he understandeth <7919 sakal > and 
knoweth <3045 yada< > me, that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
which exercise <6213 <asah > lovingkindness <2617 checed >, 
judgment <4941 mishpat >, and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, in

I delight <2654 chaphets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

 25 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

Jeremiah 10



 1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > which <0834

 O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:

 Learn <3925 lamad > not the way <1870 derek > of the heathen

 3 For the customs <2708 chuqqah > of the people <5971 <am > 
[are] vain <1892 hebel >: for [one] cutteth <3772 karath > a

<4639 ma<aseh > of the hands <3027 yad > of the workman <2796 
charash >, with the axe <4621 ma<atsad >.



 4 They deck <3302 yaphah > it with silver <3701 keceph > and 
with gold <2091 zahab >; they fasten <2388 chazaq > it with 
nails <4548 macmer > and with hammers <4717 maqqabah >, that it 
move <6328 puwq > not.



 5 They [are] upright <4749 miqshah > as the palm <8560 tomer > 
tree, but speak <1696 dabar > not: they must needs be borne 
<5375 nasa> >, because <3588 kiy > they cannot <3808 lo> > go 
<6805 tsa<ad >. Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of them; for they 
cannot <3808 lo> > do evil <7489 ra<a< >, neither also <1571 gam

 6 Forasmuch as [there is] none <0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > 
unto thee, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; thou [art] great <1419 gadowl

<1369 g@buwrah >.



 7 Who <4310 miy > would not fear <3372 yare> > thee, O King 
<4428 melek > of nations <1471 gowy >? for to thee doth it 
appertain <2969 ya>ah >: forasmuch as among all <3605 kol > the 
wise <2450 chakam > [men] of the nations <1471 gowy >, and in 
all <3605 kol > their kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, [there is] none 
<0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee.



 8 But they are altogether <0259 >echad > brutish <1197 ba<ar > 
and foolish <3688 kacal >: the stock <6086 <ets > [is] a 
doctrine <4148 muwcar > of vanities <1892 hebel >.



 9 Silver <3701 keceph > spread <7554 raqa< > into plates is 
brought <0935 bow> > from Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh >, and gold 
<2091 zahab > from Uphaz <0210 >Uwphaz >, the work <4639 ma<aseh

of the founder <6884 tsaraph >: blue <8504 t@keleth > and purple 
<0713 >argaman > [is] their clothing <3830 l@buwsh >: they [are] 
all <3605 kol > the work <4639 ma<aseh > of cunning <2450 chakam

 10 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] the true <0571 >emeth > 
God <0430 >elohiym >, he [is] the living <2416 chay > God <0430 
>elohiym >, and an everlasting <5769 <owlam > king <4428 melek >:
 at his wrath <7110 qetseph > the earth <0776 >erets > shall 
tremble <7493 ra<ash >, and the nations <1471 gowy > shall not 
be able <3201 yakol > to abide <3557 kuwl > his indignation 
<2195 za<am >.



 11 Thus <1836 den > shall ye say <0560 >amar > unto them, The 
gods <0426 >elahh > that have not made <5648 <abad > the heavens 
<8065 shamayin > and the earth <0778 >araq >, [even] they shall 
perish <7> from the earth <0772 >ara< >, and from under <8460 
t@chowth > these <0429 >elleh > heavens <8065 shamayin >.



 12 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his 
power <3581 koach >, he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world 
<8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched 
<5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > by his discretion 
<8394 tabuwn >.



 13 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > his voice <6963 qowl >, 
[there is] a multitude <1995 hamown > of waters <4325 mayim > in 
the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and he causeth the vapours <5387 
nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah > from the ends <7097 qatseh > of 
the earth <0776 >erets >; he maketh <6213 <asah > lightnings 
<1300 baraq > with rain <4306 matar >, and bringeth <3318 yatsa>

treasures <0214 >owtsar >.



 14 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar > 
in [his] knowledge <1847 da<ath >: every <3605 kol > founder 
<6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459 
pecel > image <6459 pecel >: for his molten <5262 necek > image 
[is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there is] no <3808 lo> > 
breath <7307 ruwach > in them.



 15 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, [and] the work <4639 
ma<aseh > of errors <8595 ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of 
their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish <6>.



 16 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not 
like them: for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all <3605 
kol > [things]; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [is] the rod <7626 
shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah >: The LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034 shem >.



 17. Gather <0622 >acaph > up thy wares <3666 kin<ah > out of 
the land <0776 >erets >, O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of the 
fortress <4693 matsowr >.



 18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will sling <7049 qala< > out 
the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > at 
this <2063 zo>th > once <6471 pa<am >, and will distress <6887 
tsarar > them, that they may find <4672 matsa> > [it so].



 19 Woe <0188 >owy > is me for my hurt <7667 sheber >! my wound 
<4347 makkah > is grievous <2470 chalah >: but I said <0559 
>amar >, Truly <0389 >ak > this <2088 zeh > [is] a grief <2483 
choliy >, and I must bear <5375 nasa> > it.



 20 My tabernacle <0168 >ohel > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and 
all <3605 kol > my cords <4340 meythar > are broken <5423 nathaq

<5750 <owd >, and to set <6965 quwm > up my curtains <3407 
y@riy<ah >.



 21 For the pastors <7462 ra<ah > are become <1197 ba<ar > 
brutish <1197 ba<ar >, and have not sought <1875 darash > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: therefore they shall not prosper <7919 
sakal >, and all <3605 kol > their flocks <4830 mir<iyth > shall 
be scattered <6327 puwts >.



 22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the noise <6963 qowl > of the bruit 
<8052 sh@muw<ah > is come <0935 bow> >, and a great <1419 gadowl

country <0776 >erets >, to make <7760 suwm > the cities <5892

[and] a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577 tanniyn >.



 23 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I know <3045 yada< > that the way 
<1870 derek > of man <0120 >adam > [is] not in himself: [it is] 
not in man that walketh <1980 halak > to direct <3559 kuwn > his 
steps <6806 tsa<ad >.



 24 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, correct <3256 yacar > me, but with 
judgment <4941 mishpat >; not in thine anger <0639 >aph >, lest 
<6435 pen > thou bring me to nothing <4591 ma<at >.



 25 Pour <8210 shaphak > out thy fury <2534 chemah > upon the 
heathen <1471 gowy > that know <3045 yada< > thee not, and upon 
the families <4940 mishpachah > that call <7121 qara> > not on 
thy name <8034 shem >: for they have eaten <0398 >akal > up 
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and devoured <0398 >akal > him, and 
consumed <3615 kalah > him, and have made his habitation <5116 
naveh > desolate <8074 shamem >.



Jeremiah 11



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 2 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 
zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto the 
men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;



 3 And say <0559 >amar > thou unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376 
>iysh > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the words <1697 dabar > 
of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >,



 4 Which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers 
<1> in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <3318 yatsa> > them 
forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim >, from the iron <1270 barzel > furnace <3564 
kuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 
qowl >, and do <6213 <asah > them, according to all <3605 kol > 
which <0834 >aher > I command <6680 tsavah > you: so shall ye be 
my people <5971 <am >, and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym >:



 5 That I may perform <6965 quwm > the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > 
which <0834 >aher > I have sworn <7650 shaba< > unto your 
fathers <1>, to give <5414 nathan > them a land <0776 >erets > 
flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706 
d@bash >, as [it is] this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >. Then 
answered <6030 <anah > I, and said <0559 >amar >, So <0543 >amen

 6 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, 
Proclaim <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > 
words <1697 dabar > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the 
words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >,
 and do <6213 <asah > them.



 7 For I earnestly protested <5749 <uwd > unto your fathers <1> 
in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <5927 <alah > them up 
out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, 
[even] unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, rising <7925 
shakam > early <7925 shakam > and protesting <5749 <uwd >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >.



 8 Yet they obeyed <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> > inclined 
<5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212 yalak > 
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in the imagination <8307 
sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb >: 
therefore I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them all <3605 kol > 
the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 
b@riyth >, which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > [them] 
to do <6213 <asah >; but they did <6213 <asah > [them] not.



 9 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, A 
conspiracy <7195 qesher > is found <4672 matsa> > among the men 
<0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and among the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 10 They are turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > to the 
iniquities <5771 <avon > of their forefathers, which <0834 >aher 
> refused <3985 ma>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 
dabar >; and they went <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > other 
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > to serve <5647 <abad > them:
 the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the 
house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have broken <6565 
parar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834 >aher > I made 
<3772 karath > with their fathers <1>.



 11. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 
bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon them, which <0834 >aher > they 
shall not be able <3201 yakol > to escape <3318 yatsa> >; and 
though they shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me, I will not hearken 
<8085 shama< > unto them.



 12 Then shall the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
go <1980 halak >, and cry <2199 za<aq > unto the gods <0430 
>elohiym > unto whom they offer incense <6999 qatar >: but they 
shall not save <3467 yasha< > them at all in the time <6256 <eth 
> of their trouble <7451 ra< >.



 13 For [according to] the number <4557 micpar > of thy cities 
<5892 <iyr > were thy gods <0430 >elohiym >, O Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >; and [according to] the number <4557 micpar > of the 
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have ye 
set <7760 suwm > up altars <4196 mizbeach > to [that] shameful 
<1322 bosheth > thing, [even] altars <4196 mizbeach > to burn 
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >.



 14 Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this <2088 zeh > 
people <5971 <am >, neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up a 
cry <7440 rinnah > or prayer <8605 t@phillah > for them: for I 
will not hear <8085 shama< > [them] in the time <6256 <eth > 
that they cry <7121 qara> > unto me for their trouble <7451 ra< 
>.



 15 What <4100 mah > hath my beloved <3039 y@diyd > to do in 
mine house <1004 bayith >, [seeing] she hath wrought <6213 <asah 
> lewdness <4209 m@zimmah > with many <7227 rab >, and the holy 
<6944 qodesh > flesh <1320 basar > is passed <5674 <abar > from 
thee? when <3588 kiy > thou doest evil <7451 ra< >, then <0227 
>az > thou rejoicest <5937 <alaz >.



 16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > called <7121 qara> > thy name <8034 
shem >, A green <7488 ra<anan > olive <2132 zayith > tree, fair 
<3303 yapheh >, [and] of goodly fruit <6529 p@riy >: with the 
noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > tumult <1999 
hamullah > he hath kindled <3341 yatsath > fire <0784 >esh > 
upon it, and the branches <1808 daliyah > of it are broken <7489 
ra<a< >.



 17 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that 
planted <5193 nata< > thee, hath pronounced <1696 dabar > evil 
<7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > thee, for the evil <7451 ra< > 
of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and of 
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <0834 
>aher > they have done <6213 <asah > against themselves <1992 
hem > to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > in offering incense 
<6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >.



 18. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given me knowledge <3045 
yada< > [of it], and I know <3045 yada< > [it]: then <0227 >az > 
thou shewedst <7200 ra>ah > me their doings <4611 ma<alal >.



 19 But I [was] like a lamb <3532 kebes > [or] an ox <0441 
>alluwph > [that] is brought <2986 yabal > to the slaughter 
<2873 tabach >; and I knew <3045 yada< > not that they had 
devised <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against 
<5921 <al > me, [saying], Let us destroy <7843 shachath > the 
tree <6086 <ets > with the fruit <3899 lechem > thereof, and let 
us cut <3772 karath > him off from the land <0776 >erets > of 
the living <2416 chay >, that his name <8034 shem > may be no 
<3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > remembered <2142 zakar >.



 20 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that 
judgest <8199 shaphat > righteously <6664 tsedeq >, that triest 
<0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 leb 
>, let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance <5360 n@qamah > on 
them: for unto thee have I revealed <1540 galah > my cause <7379 
riyb >.



 21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth 
<6068 <Anathowth >, that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 
nephesh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Prophesy <5012 naba> > not in 
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that thou die 
<4191 muwth > not by our hand <3027 yad >:



 22 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Behold <2005 
hen >, I will punish <6485 paqad > them: the young <0970 bachuwr

sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > shall die <4191 
muwth > by famine <7458 ra<ab >:



 23 And there shall be no <3808 lo> > remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > 
of them: for I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon the 
men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, [even] the 
year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.



Jeremiah 12



 1. Righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > [art] thou, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<4941 mishpat >: Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > doth the way <1870

[wherefore] are all <3605 kol > they happy <7951 shalah > that

 2 Thou hast planted <5193 nata< > them, yea <1571 gam >, they

<6529 p@riy >: thou [art] near <7138 qarowb > in their mouth

 3 But thou, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, knowest <3045 yada< > me: 
thou hast seen <7200 ra>ah > me, and tried <0974 bachan > mine 
heart <3820 leb > toward <0854 >eth > thee: pull <5423 nathaq >

 4 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall the land <0776 >erets

 6 For even <1571 gam > thy brethren <0251 >ach >, and the house 
<1004 bayith > of thy father <1>, even <1571 gam > they have 
dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > with thee; yea <1571 gam >, 
they have called <7121 qara> > a multitude <4392 male> > after 
<0310 >achar > thee: believe <0539 >aman > them not, though 
<3588 kiy > they speak <1696 dabar > fair <2896 towb > words 
unto thee.



 7. I have forsaken <5800 <azab > mine house <1004 bayith >, I 
have left <5203 natash > mine heritage <5159 nachalah >; I have 
given <5414 nathan > the dearly beloved <3039 y@diyd > of my 
soul <5315 nephesh > into the hand <3709 kaph > of her enemies 
<0341 >oyeb >.



 8 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah > is unto me as a lion <0738 
>ariy > in the forest <3293 ya<ar >; it crieth out against <5921 
<al > me: therefore have I hated <8130 sane> > it.



 9 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah > [is] unto me [as] a speckled 
<6641 tsabuwa< > bird <5861 <ayit >, the birds <5861 <ayit > 
round <5439 cabiyb > about [are] against <5921 <al > her; come 
<3212 yalak > ye, assemble <0622 >acaph > all <3605 kol > the 
beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh >, come <0857 
>athah > to devour <0402 >oklah >.



 10 Many <7227 rab > pastors <7462 ra<ah > have destroyed <7843 
shachath > my vineyard <3754 kerem >, they have trodden <0947 
buwc > my portion <2513 chelqah > under foot <0947 buwc >, they 
have made <5414 nathan > my pleasant <2532 chemdah > portion 
<2513 chelqah > a desolate <8077 sh@mamah > wilderness <4057 
midbar >.



 11 They have made <7760 suwm > it desolate <8074 shamem >, [and 
being] desolate <8077 sh@mamah > it mourneth <56> unto me; the 
whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > is made desolate <8074 
shamem >, because <3588 kiy > no <0369 >ayin > man <0376 >iysh > 
layeth <7760 suwm > [it] to heart <3820 leb >.



 12 The spoilers <7703 shadad > are come <0935 bow> > upon all 
<3605 kol > high <8205 sh@phiy > places through the wilderness 
<4057 midbar >: for the sword <2719 chereb > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > shall devour <0398 >akal > from the [one] end <7097 
qatseh > of the land <0776 >erets > even to the [other] end 
<7097 qatseh > of the land <0776 >erets >: no <0369 >ayin > 
flesh <1320 basar > shall have peace <7965 shalowm >.



 13 They have sown <2232 zara< > wheat <2406 chittah >, but 
shall reap <7114 qatsar > thorns <6975 qowts >: they have put 
themselves to pain <2470 chalah >, [but] shall not profit <3276 
ya<al >: and they shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of your 
revenues <8393 t@buw>ah > because of the fierce <2740 charown > 
anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 14. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > mine evil <7451 ra< > 
neighbours <7934 shaken >, that touch <5060 naga< > the 
inheritance <5159 nachalah > which <0834 >aher > I have caused 
my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to inherit <5157 
nachal >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will pluck <5428 nathash > them 
out of their land <0127 >adamah >, and pluck <5428 nathash > out 
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > from among 
<8432 tavek > them.



 15 And it shall come to pass, after <0310 >achar > that I have 
plucked <5428 nathash > them out I will return <7725 shuwb >, 
and have compassion <7355 racham > on them, and will bring <7725 
shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb >, every man <0376 >iysh > to his 
heritage <5159 nachalah >, and every man <0376 >iysh > to his 
land <0776 >erets >.



 16 And it shall come to pass, if <0518 >im > they will 
diligently learn <3925 lamad > the ways <1870 derek > of my 
people <5971 <am >, to swear <7650 shaba< > by my name <8034 
shem >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; as they 
taught <3925 lamad > my people <5971 <am > to swear <7650 shaba< 
> by Baal <1168 Ba<al >; then shall they be built <1129 banah > 
in the midst <8432 tavek > of my people <5971 <am >.



 17 But if <0518 >im > they will not obey <8085 shama< >, I will 
utterly pluck <5428 nathash > up and destroy <6> that nation 
<1471 gowy >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 13



 1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> unto me, Go <1980 halak > and get <7069 qanah > thee a linen 
<6593 pishteh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, and put <7760 suwm > it 
upon thy loins <4975 mothen >, and put <7760 suwm > it not in 
water <4325 mayim >.



 2 So I got <7069 qanah > a girdle <0232 >ezowr > according to 
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and put 
<7760 suwm > [it] on <5921 <al > my loins <4975 mothen >.



 3 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time, saying 
<0559 >amar >,



 4 Take <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > that thou hast 
got <7069 qanah >, which <0834 >aher > [is] upon thy loins <4975 
mothen >, and arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak > to Euphrates 
<6578 P@rath >, and hide <2934 taman > it there <8033 sham > in 
a hole <5357 naqiyq > of the rock.



 5 So I went <3212 yalak >, and hid <2934 taman > it by 
Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded 
<6680 tsavah > me.



 6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > many 
<7227 rab > days <3117 yowm >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
said <0559 >amar > unto me, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak > 
to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and take <3947 laqach > the girdle 
<0232 >ezowr > from thence <8033 sham >, which <0834 >aher > I 
commanded <6680 tsavah > thee to hide <2934 taman > there <8033 
sham >.



 7 Then I went <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and 
digged <2658 chaphar >, and took <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 
>ezowr > from the place <4725 maqowm > where I had hid <2934 
taman > it: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, the girdle <0232 >ezowr 
> was marred <7843 shachath >, it was profitable <6743 tsalach > 
for nothing.



 8 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 After <3602 kakah > this manner <3541 koh > will I mar <7843 
shachath > the pride <1347 ga>own > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
and the great <7227 rab > pride <1347 ga>own > of Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 10 This <2088 zeh > evil <7451 ra< > people <5971 <am >, which 
refuse <3987 me>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar 
>, which walk <1980 halak > in the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth 
> of their heart <3820 leb >, and walk <1980 halak > after <0310 
>achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, to serve 
<5647 <abad > them, and to worship <7812 shachah > them, shall 
even be as this <2088 zeh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, which <0834 
>aher > is good <6743 tsalach > for nothing.



 11 For as the girdle <0232 >ezowr > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to 
the loins <4975 mothen > of a man <0376 >iysh >, so <3651 ken > 
have I caused to cleave <1692 dabaq > unto me the whole <3605 
kol > house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the 
whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
 saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; that they might 
be unto me for a people <5971 <am >, and for a name <8034 shem >,
 and for a praise <8416 t@hillah >, and for a glory <8597 
tiph>arah >: but they would not hear <8085 shama< >.



 12. Therefore thou shalt speak <0559 >amar > unto them this 
<2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >; Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, Every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall 
be filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin >: and they shall 
say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Do we not certainly know <3045 
yada< > that every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall be 
filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin >?



 13 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh 
> saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen 
>, I will fill <5433 caba> > all <3605 kol > the inhabitants 
<3427 yashab > of this land <0776 >erets >, even the kings <4428 
melek > that sit <3427 yashab > upon David's <1732 David > 
throne <3678 kicce> >, and the priests <3548 kohen >, and the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants 
<3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, with 
drunkenness <7943 shikkarown >.



 14 And I will dash <5310 naphats > them one <0376 >iysh > 
against <0413 >el > another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, even the fathers 
<1> and the sons <1121 ben > together <3162 yachad >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: I will not pity <2550 
chamal >, nor <3808 lo> > spare <2347 chuwc >, nor <3808 lo> > 
have mercy <7355 racham >, but destroy <7843 shachath > them.



 15 Hear <8085 shama< > ye, and give ear <0238 >azan >; be not 
proud <1341 ge> >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken 
<1696 dabar >.



 16 Give <5414 nathan > glory <3519 kabowd > to the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, before <2962 terem > he 
cause darkness <2821 chashak >, and before <2962 terem > your 
feet <7272 regel > stumble <5062 nagaph > upon the dark <5399 
nesheph > mountains <2022 har >, and, while ye look <6960 qavah 
> for light <0216 >owr >, he turn <7760 suwm > it into the 
shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth >, [and] 
make <7896 shiyth > [it] gross <6205 <araphel > darkness <6205 
<araphel >.



 17 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > it, my 
soul <5315 nephesh > shall weep <1058 bakah > in secret <4565 
mictar > places for [your] pride <1466 gevah >; and mine eye 
<5869 <ayin > shall weep <1830 dama< > sore, and run <3381 yarad

<3068 Y@hovah > flock <5739 <eder > is carried <7617 shabah > 
away captive <7617 shabah >.



 18 Say <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > and to the 
queen <1377 g@biyrah >, Humble <8213 shaphel > yourselves, sit 
<3427 yashab > down: for your principalities <4761 mar>ashah > 
shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >, [even] the crown 
<5850 <atarah > of your glory <8597 tiph>arah >.



 19 The cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be 
shut <5462 cagar > up, and none <0369 >ayin > shall open <6605 
pathach > [them]: Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be carried <1540 
galah > away captive <1540 galah > all <3605 kol > of it, it 
shall be wholly <7965 shalowm > carried <1540 galah > away 
captive <1540 galah >.



 20 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin >, and behold 
<7200 ra>ah > them that come <0935 bow> > from the north <6828 
tsaphown >: where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the flock <5739 <eder > 
[that] was given <5414 nathan > thee, thy beautiful <8597 
tiph>arah > flock <6629 tso>n >?



 21 What <4100 mah > wilt thou say <0559 >amar > when <3588 kiy 
> he shall punish <6485 paqad > thee? for thou hast taught <3925 
lamad > them [to be] captains <0441 >alluwph >, [and] as chief 
<7218 ro>sh > over <5921 <al > thee: shall not sorrows <2256 
chebel > take <0270 >achaz > thee, as a woman <0802 >ishshah > 
in travail <3205 yalad >?



 22. And if <3588 kiy > thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart 
<3824 lebab >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > come <7122 qara> > 
these <0428 >el-leh > things upon me? For the greatness <7230 
rob > of thine iniquity <5771 <avon > are thy skirts <7757 shuwl

bare <2554 chamac >.



 23 Can the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy > change <2015 haphak > his 
skin <5785 <owr >, or the leopard <5246 namer > his spots <2272 
chabarburah >? [then] may <3201 yakol > ye also <1571 gam > do 
good <3190 yatab >, that are accustomed <3928 limmuwd > to do 
evil <7489 ra<a< >.



 24 Therefore will I scatter <6327 puwts > them as the stubble 
<7179 qash > that passeth <5674 <abar > away by the wind <7307 
ruwach > of the wilderness <4057 midbar >.



 25 This <2088 zeh > [is] thy lot <1486 gowral >, the portion 
<4490 manah > of thy measures <4055 mad > from me, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <0834 >aher > thou 
hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me, and trusted <0982 batach > in 
falsehood <8267 sheqer >.



 26 Therefore will I discover <2834 chasaph > thy skirts <7757 
shuwl > upon thy face <6440 paniym >, that thy shame <7036 
qalown > may appear <7200 ra>ah >.



 27 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thine adulteries <5004 ni>uph >, 
and thy neighings <4684 matshalah >, the lewdness <2154 zimmah > 
of thy whoredom <2184 z@nuwth >, [and] thine abominations <8251 
shiqquwts > on <5921 <al > the hills <1389 gib<ah > in the 
fields <7704 sadeh >. Woe <0188 >owy > unto thee, O Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >! wilt thou not be made clean <2891 taher >? 
when [shall it] once <5750 <owd > [be]?



Jeremiah 14



 1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came 
<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > concerning the dearth 
<1226 batstsoreth >.



 2 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > mourneth <56>, and the gates <8179 
sha<ar > thereof languish <0535 >amal >; they are black <6937 
qadar > unto the ground <0776 >erets >; and the cry <6682 
ts@vachah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is gone <5927 
<alah > up.



 3 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > have sent <7971 shalach > 
their little <6810 tsa<iyr > ones to the waters <4325 mayim >: 
they came <0935 bow> > to the pits <1356 geb >, [and] found 
<4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim >; they returned 
<7725 shuwb > with their vessels <3627 k@liy > empty <7387 
reyqam >; they were ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637 
kalam >, and covered <2645 chaphah > their heads <7218 ro>sh >.



 4 Because <5668 <abuwr > the ground <0127 >adamah > is chapt 
<2865 chathath >, for there was no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem 
> in the earth <0776 >erets >, the plowmen <0406 >ikkar > were 
ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they covered <2645 chaphah > their heads 
<7218 ro>sh >.



 5 Yea, the hind <0365 >ayeleth > also <1571 gam > calved <3205 
yalad > in the field <7704 sadeh >, and forsook <5800 <azab > 
[it], because <3588 kiy > there was no <3808 lo> > grass <1758 
duwsh >.



 6 And the wild <6501 pere> > asses <6501 pere> > did stand 
<5975 <amad > in the high <8205 sh@phiy > places, they snuffed 
<7602 sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > like dragons <8577

because <3588 kiy > [there was] no <0369 >ayin > grass <6212 
<eseb >.



 7 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, though <0518 >im > our iniquities 
<5771 <avon > testify <6030 <anah > against us, do <6213 <asah > 
thou [it] for thy name's <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma<an >: for 
our backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are many <7231 rabab >; we 
have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.



 8 O the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the 
saviour <3467 yasha< > thereof in time <6256 <eth > of trouble 
<6869 tsarah >, why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a stranger 
<1616 ger > in the land <0776 >erets >, and as a wayfaring <0732

tarry <3885 luwn > for a night?



 9 Why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a man <0376 >iysh > 
astonied <1724 daham >, as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376

<3068 Y@hovah >, [art] in the midst <7130 qereb > of us, and we 
are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >; leave <3241 
Yaniym > us not.



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

have they loved <0157 >ahab > to wander <5128 nuwa< >, they have 
not refrained <2820 chasak > their feet <7272 regel >, therefore 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > doth not accept <7521 ratsah > them; he 
will now <4994 na> > remember <2142 zakar > their iniquity <5771 
<avon >, and visit <6485 paqad > their sins <2403 chatta>ah >.



 11 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me, 
Pray <6419 palal > not for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > 
for [their] good <2896 towb >.



 12 When <3588 kiy > they fast <6684 tsuwm >, I will not hear 
<8085 shama< > their cry <7440 rinnah >; and when <3588 kiy > 
they offer <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offering and an 
oblation <4503 minchah >, I will not accept <7521 ratsah > them: 
but I will consume <3615 kalah > them by the sword <2719 chereb

 13 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136 
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! behold <2009 hinneh >, the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > say <0559 >amar > unto them, Ye shall 
not see <7200 ra>ah > the sword <2719 chereb >, neither <3808

nathan > you assured <0571 >emeth > peace <7965 shalowm > in 
this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, 
The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267 
sheqer > in my name <8034 shem >: I sent <7971 shalach > them

neither <3808 lo> > spake <1696 dabar > unto them: they prophesy 
<5012 naba> > unto you a false <8267 sheqer > vision <2377 
chazown > and divination <7081 qecem >, and a thing of nought 
<0434 >eluwl >, and the deceit <8649 tormah > of their heart 
<3820 leb >.



 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the prophets 
<5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > in my name <8034 shem

 16 And the people <5971 <am > to whom they prophesy <5012 naba>

of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > because <6440 paniym > of the

their wives <0802 >ishshah >, nor their sons <1121 ben >, nor 
their daughters <1121 ben >: for I will pour <8210 shaphak > 
their wickedness <7451 ra< > upon them.



 17. Therefore thou shalt say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > 
word <1697 dabar > unto them; Let mine eyes <5869 <ayin > run 
<3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah > night <3915 layil > 
and day <3119 yowmam >, and let them not cease <1820 damah >: 
for the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > daughter <1323 bath > of my

 18 If <0518 >im > I go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into

 19 Hast thou utterly rejected <3988 ma>ac > Judah <3063

Zion <6726 Tsiyown >? why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou smitten

<2009 hinneh > trouble <1205 b@<athah >!



 20 We acknowledge <3045 yada< >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, our 
wickedness <7562 resha< >, [and] the iniquity <5771 <avon > of

 21 Do not abhor <5006 na>ats > [us], for thy name's <8034 shem

 22 Are there [any] among the vanities <1892 hebel > of the

Jeremiah 15



 1. Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me, 
Though <0518 >im > Moses <4872 Mosheh > and Samuel <8050 
Sh@muw>el > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me, [yet] 
my mind <5315 nephesh > [could] not [be] toward <0413 >el > this 
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >: cast <7971 shalach > [them] out 
of my sight <6440 paniym >, and let them go <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> >.



 2 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, if <3588 kiy > they 
say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Whither <0575 >an > shall we go 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >? then thou shalt tell <0559 
>amar > them, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; Such as [are] for death <4194 maveth >, to 
death <4194 maveth >; and such as [are] for the sword <2719 
chereb >, to the sword <2719 chereb >; and such as [are] for the 
famine <7458 ra<ab >, to the famine <7458 ra<ab >; and such as 
[are] for the captivity <7628 sh@biy >, to the captivity <7628 
sh@biy >.



 3 And I will appoint <6485 paqad > over <5921 <al > them four 
<0702 >arba< > kinds <4940 mishpachah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the sword <2719 chereb > to slay <2026 
harag >, and the dogs <3611 keleb > to tear <5498 cachab >, and 
the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim >, and the 
beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >, to devour 
<0398 >akal > and destroy <7843 shachath >.



 4 And I will cause <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189 
za<avah > into all <3605 kol > kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the 
earth <0776 >erets >, because <1558 galal > of Manasseh <4519 
M@nashsheh > the son <1121 ben > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, for [that] which 
<0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >.



 5 For who <4310 miy > shall have pity <2550 chamal > upon thee, 
O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >? or who <4310 miy > shall 
bemoan <5110 nuwd > thee? or who shall go <5493 cuwr > aside 
<5493 cuwr > to ask <7592 sha>al > how thou doest <7965 shalowm

 6 Thou hast forsaken <5203 natash > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou art gone <3212 yalak > backward <0268 
>achowr >: therefore will I stretch <5186 natah > out my hand 
<3027 yad > against <5921 <al > thee, and destroy <7843 shachath

 7 And I will fan <2219 zarah > them with a fan <2219 zarah > in 
the gates <8179 sha<ar > of the land <0776 >erets >; I will 
bereave <7921 shakol > [them] of children, I will destroy <6> my 
people <5971 <am >, [since] they return <7725 shuwb > not from 
their ways <1870 derek >.



 8 Their widows <0490 >almanah > are increased <6105 <atsam > to 
me above the sand <2344 chowl > of the seas <3220 yam >: I have 
brought <0935 bow> > upon them against <5921 <al > the mother 
<0517 >em > of the young <0970 bachuwr > men a spoiler <7703 
shadad > at noonday <6672 tsohar >: I have caused [him] to fall 
<5307 naphal > upon it suddenly <6597 pith>owm >, and terrors 
<0928 behalah > upon the city <5892 <iyr >.



 9 She that hath borne <3205 yalad > seven <7651 sheba< > 
languisheth <0535 >amal >: she hath given <5301 naphach > up the 
ghost <5315 nephesh >; her sun <8121 shemesh > is gone <0935

she hath been <1961 hayah > ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded 
<2659 chapher >: and the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of them will 
I deliver <5414 nathan > to the sword <2719 chereb > before 
<6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 10. Woe <0188 >owy > is me, my mother <0517 >em >, that thou 
hast borne <3205 yalad > me a man <0376 >iysh > of strife <7379 
riyb > and a man <0376 >iysh > of contention <4066 madown > to 
the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >! I have neither <3808

> men have lent <5383 nashah > to me on usury <5383 nashah >; 
[yet] every <3605 kol > one of them doth curse <7043 qalal > me.



 11 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, Verily it shall 
be well <2896 towb > with thy remnant <8293 sheruwth >; verily 
<0518 >im > I will cause the enemy <0341 >oyeb > to entreat 
<6293 paga< > thee [well] in the time <6256 <eth > of evil <7451 
ra< > and in the time <6256 <eth > of affliction <6869 tsarah >.



 12 Shall iron <1270 barzel > break <7489 ra<a< > the northern 
<6828 tsaphown > iron <1270 barzel > and the steel <5178 
n@chosheth >?



 13 Thy substance <2428 chayil > and thy treasures <0214 >owtsar

price <4242 m@chiyr >, and [that] for all <3605 kol > thy sins 
<2403 chatta>ah >, even in all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 
g@buwl >.



 14 And I will make [thee] to pass <5674 <abar > with thine 
enemies <0341 >oyeb > into a land <0776 >erets > [which] thou 
knowest <3045 yada< > not: for a fire <0784 >esh > is kindled 
<6919 qadach > in mine anger <0639 >aph >, [which] shall burn 
<3344 yaqad > upon you.



 15. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< >: 
remember <2142 zakar > me, and visit <6485 paqad > me, and 
revenge <5358 naqam > me of my persecutors <7291 radaph >; take 
<3947 laqach > me not away in thy longsuffering: know <3045 
yada< > that for thy sake I have suffered <5375 nasa> > rebuke 
<2781 cherpah >.



 16 Thy words <1697 dabar > were found <4672 matsa> >, and I did 
eat <0398 >akal > them; and thy word <1697 dabar > was unto me 
the joy <8342 sasown > and rejoicing <8057 simchah > of mine 
heart <3824 lebab >: for I am called <7121 qara> > by thy name 
<8034 shem >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 17 I sat <3427 yashab > not in the assembly <5475 cowd > of the 
mockers <7832 sachaq >, nor rejoiced <5937 <alaz >; I sat <3427 
yashab > alone <0909 badad > because <6440 paniym > of thy hand 
<3027 yad >: for thou hast filled <4390 male> > me with 
indignation <2195 za<am >.



 18 Why <4100 mah > is my pain <3511 k@>eb > perpetual <5331 
netsach >, and my wound <4347 makkah > incurable <0605 >anash >, 
[which] refuseth <3985 ma>en > to be healed <7495 rapha> >? wilt 
thou be altogether unto me as a liar <0391 >akzab >, [and as] 
waters <4325 mayim > [that] fail <0539 >aman >?



 19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb

[and] thou shalt stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me: 
and if <0518 >im > thou take <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > 
the precious <3368 yaqar > from the vile <2151 zalal >, thou 
shalt be as my mouth <6310 peh >: let them return <7725 shuwb > 
unto thee; but return <7725 shuwb > not thou unto them.



 20 And I will make <5414 nathan > thee unto this <2088 zeh > 
people <5971 <am > a fenced <1219 batsar > brasen <5178 
n@chosheth > wall <2346 chowmah >: and they shall fight <3898 
lacham > against <0413 >el > thee, but they shall not prevail 
<3201 yakol > against thee: for I [am] with thee to save <3467 
yasha< > thee and to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 21 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee out of the hand <3027 
yad > of the wicked <7451 ra< >, and I will redeem <6299 padah > 
thee out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts

Jeremiah 16



 1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > also unto me, saying,



 2 Thou shalt not take <3947 laqach > thee a wife <0802 >ishshah

maqowm >.



 3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the sons <1121 ben > and 
concerning <5921 <al > the daughters <1121 ben > that are born 
<3205 yalad > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, and 
concerning <5921 <al > their mothers <0517 >em > that bare <3205 
yalad > them, and concerning <5921 <al > their fathers <1> that 
begat <3205 yalad > them in this <2088 zeh > land <0776 >erets >;



 4 They shall die <4191 muwth > of grievous <8463 tachaluw> > 
deaths <4463 mamowth >; they shall not be lamented <5594 caphad 
>; neither <3808 lo> > shall they be buried <6912 qabar >; [but] 
they shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym > 
of the earth <0127 >adamah >: and they shall be consumed <3615 
kalah > by the sword <2719 chereb >, and by famine <7458 ra<ab >;
 and their carcases <5038 n@belah > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal

for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >.



 5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, Enter <0935 bow> > not into the house <1004 bayith > 
of mourning <4798 marzeach >, neither <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [even <0853 >eth >] 
lovingkindness <2617 checed > and mercies <7356 racham >.



 6 Both the great <1419 gadowl > and the small <6996 qatan > 
shall die <4191 muwth > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets

shall [men] lament <5594 caphad > for them, nor <3808 lo> > cut 
<1413 gadad > themselves, nor <3808 lo> > make themselves bald 
<7139 qarach > for them:



 7 Neither <3808 lo> > shall [men] tear <6536 parac > 
[themselves] for them in mourning <60>, to comfort <5162 nacham

[men] give them the cup <3563 kowc > of consolation <8575 
tanchuwm > to drink <8248 shaqah > for their father <1> or for 
their mother <0517 >em >.



 8 Thou shalt not also go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 
bayith > of feasting <4960 mishteh >, to sit <3427 yashab > with 
them to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >.



 9 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will cause to

the bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of 
the bride <3618 kallah >.



 10. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > 
thou shalt shew <5046 nagad > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am

they shall say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > pronounced <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > this 
<2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against

we have committed <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 11 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Because your 
fathers <1> have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have walked <3212 yalak > after 
<0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and 
have served <5647 <abad > them, and have worshipped <7812 
shachah > them, and have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and have not 
kept <8104 shamar > my law <8451 towrah >;



 12 And ye have done <6213 <asah > worse <7489 ra<a< > than your 
fathers <1>; for, behold <2009 hinneh >, ye walk <1980 halak > 
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > after <0310 >achar > the 
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his evil <7451 ra< > heart 
<3820 leb >, that they may not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me:



 13 Therefore will I cast <2904 tuwl > you out of this <2063

night <3915 layil >; where <0834 >aher > I will not shew <5414

 14. Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days 
<3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, that it shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of the land <0776 >erets > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >;



 15 But, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, that 
brought <5927 <alah > up the children <1121 ben > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > from the land <0776 >erets > of the north <6828 
tsaphown >, and from all <3605 kol > the lands <0776 >erets > 
whither he had driven <5080 nadach > them: and I will bring 
<7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > their 
land <0127 >adamah > that I gave <5414 nathan > unto their 
fathers <1>.



 16 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > for many 
<7227 rab > fishers <1728 davvag >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, and they shall fish <1770 diyg > them; and 
after <0310 >achar > will I send <7971 shalach > for many <7227

them from every <3605 kol > mountain <2022 har >, and from every

naqiyq > of the rocks <5553 cela< >.



 17 For mine eyes <5869 <ayin > [are] upon all <3605 kol > their 
ways <1870 derek >: they are not hid <5641 cathar > from my face 
<6440 paniym >, neither <3808 lo> > is their iniquity <5771

 18 And first <7223 ri>shown > I will recompense <7999 shalam > 
their iniquity <5771 <avon > and their sin <2403 chatta>ah > 
double <4932 mishneh >; because <5921 <al > they have defiled 
<2490 chalal > my land <0776 >erets >, they have filled <4390

abominable <8441 tow<ebah > things.



 19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, my strength <5797 <oz >, and my 
fortress <4581 ma<owz >, and my refuge <4498 manowc > in the day 
<3117 yowm > of affliction <6869 tsarah >, the Gentiles <1471

 20 Shall a man <0120 >adam > make <6213 <asah > gods <0430

Jeremiah 17



 1. The sin <2403 chatta>ah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > [is] 
written <3789 kathab > with a pen <5842 <et > of iron <1270 
barzel >, [and] with the point <6856 tsipporen > of a diamond 
<8068 shamiyr >: [it is] graven <2790 charash > upon the table 
<3871 luwach > of their heart <3820 leb >, and upon the horns 
<7161 qeren > of your altars <4196 mizbeach >;



 2 Whilst their children <1121 ben > remember <2142 zakar > 
their altars <4196 mizbeach > and their groves <0842 >asherah > 
by the green <7488 ra<anan > trees <6086 <ets > upon the high 
<1364 gaboahh > hills <1389 gib<ah >.



 3 O my mountain <2042 harar > in the field <7704 sadeh >, I 
will give <5414 nathan > thy substance <2428 chayil > [and] all 
<3605 kol > thy treasures <0214 >owtsar > to the spoil <0957 baz

 throughout all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl >.



 4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue <8058 shamat > from 
thine heritage <5159 nachalah > that I gave <5414 nathan > thee; 
and I will cause thee to serve <5647 <abad > thine enemies <0341 
>oyeb > in the land <0776 >erets > which <0834 >aher > thou 
knowest <3045 yada< > not: for ye have kindled <6919 qadach > a 
fire <0784 >esh > in mine anger <0639 >aph >, [which] shall burn 
<3344 yaqad > for ever <5769 <owlam >.



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

<0982 batach > in man <0120 >adam >, and maketh flesh <1320 
basar > his arm <2220 z@rowa< >, and whose heart <3820 leb > 
departeth <5493 cuwr > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 6 For he shall be like the heath <6176 <arow<er > in the desert 
<6160 <arabah >, and shall not see <7200 ra>ah > when <3588 kiy

shakan > the parched <2788 charer > places in the wilderness 
<4057 midbar >, [in] a salt <4420 m@lechah > land <0776 >erets > 
and not inhabited <3427 yashab >.



 7 Blessed <1288 barak > [is] the man <1397 geber > that 
trusteth <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and whose 
hope <4009 mibtach > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is.



 8 For he shall be as a tree <6086 <ets > planted <8362 shathal

shalach > out her roots <8328 sheresh > by the river <3105 
yuwbal >, and shall not see <7200 ra>ah > when <3588 kiy > heat 
<2527 chom > cometh <0935 bow> >, but her leaf <5929 <aleh > 
shall be green <7488 ra<anan >; and shall not be careful <1672 
da>ag > in the year <8141 shaneh > of drought <1226 batstsoreth

<6213 <asah > fruit <6529 p@riy >.



 9 The heart <3820 leb > [is] deceitful <6121 <aqob > above all 
<3605 kol > [things], and desperately <0605 >anash > wicked 
<0605 >anash >: who <4310 miy > can know <3045 yada< > it?



 10 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > search <2713 chaqar > the heart 
<3820 leb >, [I] try <0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah >, 
even to give <5414 nathan > every man <0376 >iysh > according to 
his ways <1870 derek >, [and] according to the fruit <6529 p@riy

 11 [As] the partridge <7124 qore> > sitteth <1716 dagar > [on 
eggs], and hatcheth <3205 yalad > [them] not; [so] he that 
getteth <6213 <asah > riches <6239 <osher >, and not by right 
<4941 mishpat >, shall leave <5800 <azab > them in the midst 
<2677 chetsiy > of his days <3117 yowm >, and at his end <0319 
>achariyth > shall be a fool <5036 nabal >.



 12. A glorious <3519 kabowd > high <4791 marowm > throne <3678 
kicce> > from the beginning <7223 ri>shown > [is] the place 
<4725 maqowm > of our sanctuary <4720 miqdash >.



 13 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, all <3605 kol > that forsake <5800 <azab > 
thee shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh >, [and] they that depart 
<3249 yacuwr > from me shall be written <3789 kathab > in the 
earth <0776 >erets >, because <3588 kiy > they have forsaken 
<5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the fountain <4726 
maqowr > of living <2416 chay > waters <4325 mayim >.



 14 Heal <7495 rapha> > me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and I shall 
be healed <7495 rapha> >; save <3467 yasha< > me, and I shall be 
saved <3467 yasha< >: for thou [art] my praise <8416 t@hillah >.



 15 Behold <2009 hinneh >, they say <0559 >amar > unto me, Where 
<0346 >ayeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >? let it come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> >.



 16 As for me, I have not hastened <0213 >uwts > from [being] a 
pastor <7462 ra<ah > to follow <0310 >achar > thee: neither 
<3808 lo> > have I desired <0183 >avah > the woeful <0605 >anash

<4161 mowtsa> > out of my lips <8193 saphah > was [right <5227 
nokach >] before <5227 nokach > thee.



 17 Be not a terror <4288 m@chittah > unto me: thou [art] my 
hope <4268 machaceh > in the day <3117 yowm > of evil <7451 ra<

 18 Let them be confounded <0954 buwsh > that persecute <7291 
radaph > me, but let not me be confounded <0954 buwsh >: let 
them be dismayed <2865 chathath >, but let not me be dismayed 
<2865 chathath >: bring <0935 bow> > upon them the day <3117 
yowm > of evil <7451 ra< >, and destroy <7665 shabar > them with 
double <4932 mishneh > destruction <7670 shibrown >.



 19. Thus <3541 koh > said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<8179 sha<ar > of the children <1121 ben > of the people <5971

<3063 Y@huwdah > come <0935 bow> > in, and by the which <0834 
>aher > they go <3318 yatsa> > out, and in all <3605 kol > the 
gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;



 20 And say <0559 >amar > unto them, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, ye kings <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and all <3605 kol > Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 
yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, that enter <0935

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

bear <5375 nasa> > no <0408 >al > burden <4853 massa> > on the

 22 Neither <3808 lo> > carry <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>

hallow <6942 qadash > ye the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 
yowm >, as I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers <1>.



 23 But they obeyed <8085 shama< > not, neither <3808 lo> > 
inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but made their 
neck <6202 <araph > stiff <7185 qashah >, that they might not 
hear <8085 shama< >, nor <1115 biltiy > receive <3947 laqach > 
instruction <4148 muwcar >.



 24 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, if <0518 >im > ye 
diligently hearken <8085 shama< > unto me, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to bring <0935 bow> > in no <1115

of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > on the sabbath <7676

sabbath <7676 shabbath > day <3117 yowm >, to do <6213 <asah > 
no <1115 biltiy > work <4399 m@la>kah > therein;



 25 Then shall there enter <0935 bow> > into the gates <8179 
sha<ar > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > kings <4428 
melek > and princes <8269 sar > sitting <3427 yashab > upon the

and their princes <8269 sar >, the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >, and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and this <2088 zeh > city <5892 
<iyr > shall remain <3427 yashab > for ever <5769 <owlam >.



 26 And they shall come <0935 bow> > from the cities <5892 <iyr

about <5439 cabiyb > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and from 
the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, and from 
the plain <8219 sh@phelah >, and from the mountains <2022 har >, 
and from the south <5045 negeb >, bringing <0935 bow> > burnt 
<5930 <olah > offerings, and sacrifices <2077 zebach >, and meat 
offerings <4503 minchah >, and incense <3828 l@bownah >, and 
bringing <0935 bow> > sacrifices of praise <8426 towdah >, unto 
the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 27 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto 
me to hallow <6942 qadash > the sabbath <7676 shabbath > day

a fire <0784 >esh > in the gates <8179 sha<ar > thereof, and it 
shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and it shall not be quenched 
<3518 kabah >.



Jeremiah 18



 1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah 
> to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Arise <6965 quwm >, and go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > 
to the potter's <3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and there 
<8033 sham > I will cause thee to hear <8085 shama< > my words 
<1697 dabar >.



 3 Then I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the potter's 
<3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, 
he wrought <6213 <asah > a work <4399 m@la>kah > on <5921 <al > 
the wheels <70>.



 4 And the vessel <3627 k@liy > that he made <6213 <asah > of 
clay <2563 chomer > was marred <7843 shachath > in the hand 
<3027 yad > of the potter <3335 yatsar >: so he made <6213 <asah

k@liy >, as seemed <5869 <ayin > good <3474 yashar > to the 
potter <3335 yatsar > to make <6213 <asah > [it].



 5 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 6 O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, cannot I 
do <6213 <asah > with you as this <2088 zeh > potter <3335 
yatsar >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Behold 
<2009 hinneh >, as the clay <2563 chomer > [is] in the potter's 
<3335 yatsar > hand <3027 yad >, so <3651 ken > [are] ye in mine 
hand <3027 yad >, O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >.



 7 [At what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar > 
concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy >, and concerning 
<5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, to pluck <5428 nathash > 
up, and to pull <5422 nathats > down, and to destroy <6> [it];



 8 If that nation <1471 gowy >, against <5921 <al > whom <0834 
>aher > I have pronounced <1696 dabar >, turn <7725 shuwb > from 
their evil <7451 ra< >, I will repent <5162 nacham > of the evil 
<7451 ra< > that I thought <2803 chashab > to do <6213 <asah > 
unto them.



 9 And [at what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak <1696 dabar 
> concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy >, and concerning 
<5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, to build <1129 banah > 
and to plant <5193 nata< > [it];



 10 If it do <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869 
<ayin >, that it obey <8085 shama< > not my voice <6963 qowl >, 
then I will repent <5162 nacham > of the good <2896 towb >, 
wherewith <0834 >aher > I said <0559 >amar > I would benefit 
<3190 yatab > them.



 11. Now <6258 <attah > therefore go <4994 na> > to, speak <0559 
>amar > to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and 
to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, I 
frame <3335 yatsar > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > you, 
and devise <2803 chashab > a device <4284 machashabah > against 
<5921 <al > you: return <7725 shuwb > ye now <4994 na> > every 
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way 
<1870 derek >, and make your ways <1870 derek > and your doings 
<4611 ma<alal > good <3190 yatab >.



 12 And they said <0559 >amar >, There is no hope <2976 ya>ash >:
 but we will walk <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > our own 
devices <4284 machashabah >, and we will every <0376 >iysh > one 
<0376 >iysh > do <6213 <asah > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth 
> of his evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb >.



 13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> > 
among the heathen <1471 gowy >, who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085 
shama< > such <0428 >el-leh > things: the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah

<3966 m@<od > horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing.



 14 Will [a man] leave <5800 <azab > the snow <7950 sheleg > of 
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [which cometh] from the rock <6697 
tsuwr > of the field <7704 sadeh >? [or] shall the cold <7119 
qar > flowing <5140 nazal > waters <4325 mayim > that come from 
another <2114 zuwr > place be forsaken <5428 nathash >?



 15 Because <3588 kiy > my people <5971 <am > hath forgotten 
<7911 shakach > me, they have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 
qatar > to vanity <7723 shav> >, and they have caused them to 
stumble <3782 kashal > in their ways <1870 derek > [from] the 
ancient <5769 <owlam > paths <7635 shabiyl >, to walk <1980 
halak > in paths <5410 nathiyb >, [in] a way <1870 derek > not 
cast <5549 calal > up;



 16 To make <7760 suwm > their land <0776 >erets > desolate 
<8047 shammah >, [and] a perpetual <5769 <owlam > hissing <8292 
sh@ruwqah >; every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar > 
thereby <5921 <al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem >, and wag 
<5110 nuwd > his head <7218 ro>sh >.



 17 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them as with an east <6921 
qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > before <6440 paniym > the enemy 
<0341 >oyeb >; I will shew <7200 ra>ah > them the back <6203 
<oreph >, and not the face <6440 paniym >, in the day <3117 yowm 
> of their calamity <0343 >eyd >.



 18. Then said <0559 >amar > they, Come <3212 yalak >, and let 
us devise <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against 
<5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; for the law <8451 towrah

counsel <6098 <etsah > from the wise <2450 chakam >, nor the 
word <1697 dabar > from the prophet <5030 nabiy> >. Come <3212 
yalak >, and let us smite <5221 nakah > him with the tongue 
<3956 lashown >, and let us not give heed <7181 qashab > to any 
<3605 kol > of his words <1697 dabar >.



 19 Give heed <7181 qashab > to me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and 
hearken <8085 shama< > to the voice <6963 qowl > of them that 
contend <3401 yariyb > with me.



 20 Shall evil <7451 ra< > be recompensed <7999 shalam > for 
good <2896 towb >? for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit 
<7745 shuwchah > for my soul <5315 nephesh >. Remember <2142 
zakar > that I stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > thee to 
speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > for them, [and] to turn 
<7725 shuwb > away thy wrath <2534 chemah > from them.



 21 Therefore <3651 ken > deliver <5414 nathan > up their 
children <1121 ben > to the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and pour <5064 
nagar > out their [blood] by the force <3027 yad > of the sword 
<2719 chereb >; and let their wives <0802 >ishshah > be bereaved 
<7909 shakkuwl > of their children, and [be] widows <0490 
>almanah >; and let their men <0582 >enowsh > be put <2026 harag

[be] slain <5221 nakah > by the sword <2719 chereb > in battle 
<4421 milchamah >.



 22 Let a cry <2201 za<aq > be heard <8085 shama< > from their

lakad > me, and hid <2934 taman > snares <6341 pach > for my 
feet <7272 regel >.



 23 Yet, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< > all

out their sin <2403 chatta>ah > from thy sight <6440 paniym >, 
but let them be overthrown <3782 kashal > before <6440 paniym > 
thee; deal <6213 <asah > [thus] with them in the time <6256 <eth

Jeremiah 19



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

yatsar > earthen <2789 cheres > bottle <1228 baqbuk >, and 
[take] of the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the people <5971 <am >, 
and of the ancients <2204 zaqen > of the priests <3548 kohen >;



 2 And go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > unto the valley 
<1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom >, 
which <0834 >aher > [is] by the entry <6607 pethach > of the 
east <2777 charcuwth > gate <8179 sha<ar >, and proclaim <7121 
qara> > there <8033 sham > the words <1697 dabar > that I shall 
tell <1696 dabar > thee,



 3 And say <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, O kings <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the 
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005

<2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, the which <0834 >aher > 
whosoever <3605 kol > heareth <8085 shama< >, his ears <0241 
>ozen > shall tingle <6750 tsalal >.



 4 Because they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and have 
estranged <5234 nakar > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, 
and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > in it unto 
other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, whom <0834 >aher > 
neither <3808 lo> > they nor their fathers <1> have known <3045 
yada< >, nor the kings <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
and have filled <4390 male> > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 
maqowm > with the blood <1818 dam > of innocents <5355 naqiy >;



 5 They have built <1129 banah > also the high <1116 bamah > 
places of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, to burn <8313 saraph > their sons 
<1121 ben > with fire <0784 >esh > [for] burnt <5930 <olah > 
offerings unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher > I 
commanded <6680 tsavah > not, nor <3808 lo> > spake <1696 dabar

 6 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, that this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > shall no

<8612 Topheth >, nor The valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 
ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom >, but The valley <1516 gay> > of 
slaughter <2028 haregah >.



 7 And I will make void <1238 baqaq > the counsel <6098 <etsah > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > in 
this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >; and I will cause them to 
fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > before <6440 
paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and by the hands <3027 yad 
> of them that seek <1245 baqash > their lives <5315 nephesh >: 
and their carcases <5038 n@belah > will I give <5414 nathan > to 
be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775 <owph > of the 
heaven <8064 shamayim >, and for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of 
the earth <0776 >erets >.



 8 And I will make <7760 suwm > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 
<iyr > desolate <8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah >;
 every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar > thereby <5921 
<al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem > and hiss <8319 sharaq > 
because <5921 <al > of all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah

 9 And I will cause them to eat <0398 >akal > the flesh <1320 
basar > of their sons <1121 ben > and the flesh <1320 basar > of 
their daughters <1121 ben >, and they shall eat <0398 >akal > 
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > the flesh <1320 basar > of 
his friend <7453 rea< > in the siege <4692 matsowr > and 
straitness <4689 matsowq >, wherewith <0834 >aher > their 
enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and they that seek <1245 baqash > their 
lives <5315 nephesh >, shall straiten <6693 tsuwq > them.



 10. Then shalt thou break <7665 shabar > the bottle <1228 
baqbuk > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the men <0582 >enowsh > 
that go <1980 halak > with thee,



 11 And shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 
tsaba> >; Even <3602 kakah > so <3602 kakah > will I break <7665 
shabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > and this <2063 
zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, as [one] breaketh <7665 shabar > a 
potter's <3335 yatsar > vessel <3627 k@liy >, that cannot be 
made <7495 rapha> > whole <7495 rapha> > again <5750 <owd >: and 
they shall bury <6912 qabar > [them] in Tophet <8612 Topheth >, 
till [there be] no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm > to bury 
<6912 qabar >.



 12 Thus <3651 ken > will I do <6213 <asah > unto this <2088 zeh

Y@hovah >, and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof, and 
[even] make <5414 nathan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > 
as Tophet <8612 Topheth >:



 13 And the houses <1004 bayith > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, and the houses <1004 bayith > of the kings <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, shall be defiled <2931 tame>

<3605 kol > of all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > upon 
whose <0834 >aher > roofs <1406 gag > they have burned <6999 
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto all <3605 kol > the host 
<6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim >, and have poured <5258 
nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto other <0312

 14 Then came <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from Tophet 
<8612 Topheth >, whither <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
had sent <7971 shalach > him to prophesy <5012 naba> >; and he 
stood <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD'S 
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >; and said <0559 >amar > to 
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >,



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

<3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > 
upon this city <5892 <iyr > and upon all <3605 kol > her towns 
<5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have 
pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > it, because <3588

Jeremiah 20



 1. Now Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Immer 
<0564 >Immer > the priest <3548 kohen >, who <1931 huw> > [was] 
also chief <5051 nogahh > governor <5057 nagiyd > in the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, heard <8085 shama< > 
that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > prophesied <5012 naba> > these 
<0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >.



 2 Then Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > smote <5221 nakah > Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and put <5414 
nathan > him in the stocks <4115 mahpeketh > that [were] in the 
high <5945 >elyown > gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 
Binyamiyn >, which <0834 >aher > [was] by the house <1004 bayith 
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283 
mochorath >, that Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > brought <3318 yatsa> 
> forth <3318 yatsa> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the 
stocks <4115 mahpeketh >. Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not called 
<7121 qara> > thy name <8034 shem > Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, 
but Magormissabib <4036 Magowr mic-Cabiyb >.



 4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee a 
terror <4320 Miykayah > to thyself, and to all <3605 kol > thy 
friends <0157 >ahab >: and they shall fall <5307 naphal > by the 
sword <2719 chereb > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and thine 
eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > [it]: and I will 
give <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into 
the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel >, and he shall carry <1540 galah > them captive <1540 
galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel >, and shall slay <5221 nakah > 
them with the sword <2719 chereb >.



 5 Moreover I will deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > the 
strength <2633 chocen > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, 
and all <3605 kol > the labours <3018 y@giya< > thereof, and all 
<3605 kol > the precious <3366 y@qar > things thereof, and all 
<3605 kol > the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the kings <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > will I give <5414 nathan > 
into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, which 
shall spoil <0962 bazaz > them, and take <3947 laqach > them, 
and carry <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 6 And thou, Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and all <3605 kol > that 
dwell <3427 yashab > in thine house <1004 bayith > shall go 
<3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >: and thou shalt come 
<0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 Babel >, and there <8033 sham > 
thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and shalt be buried <6912 qabar > 
there <8033 sham >, thou, and all <3605 kol > thy friends <0157 
>ahab >, to whom thou hast prophesied <5012 naba> > lies <8267 
sheqer >.



 7. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou hast deceived <6601 pathah > me,
 and I was deceived <6601 pathah >: thou art stronger <2388 
chazaq > than I, and hast prevailed <3201 yakol >: I am in 
derision <7814 s@chowq > daily, every <3605 kol > one mocketh 
<3932 la<ag > me.



 8 For since <1767 day > I spake <1696 dabar >, I cried <2199 
za<aq > out, I cried <7121 qara> > violence <2555 chamac > and 
spoil <7701 shod >; because <3588 kiy > the word <1697 dabar > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was made <1961 hayah > a reproach 
<2781 cherpah > unto me, and a derision <7047 qelec >, daily.



 9 Then I said <0559 >amar >, I will not make mention <2142 
zakar > of him, nor <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > any more 
<5750 <owd > in his name <8034 shem >. But [his word] was in 
mine heart <3820 leb > as a burning <1197 ba<ar > fire <0784

was weary <3811 la>ah > with forbearing <3557 kuwl >, and I 
could <3201 yakol > not [stay].



 10 For I heard <8085 shama< > the defaming <1681 dibbah > of 
many <7227 rab >, fear <4032 magowr > on every <5437 cabab > 
side <5439 cabiyb >. Report <5046 nagad >, [say they], and we 
will report <5046 nagad > it. All <3605 kol > my familiars <7965 
shalowm > watched <8104 shamar > for my halting <6761 tsela< >, 
[saying], Peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will be enticed <6601 
pathah >, and we shall prevail <3201 yakol > against him, and we 
shall take <3947 laqach > our revenge <5360 n@qamah > on him.



 11 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] with me as a mighty <1368 
gibbowr > terrible <6184 <ariyts > one: therefore my persecutors 
<7291 radaph > shall stumble <3782 kashal >, and they shall not 
prevail <3201 yakol >: they shall be greatly <3966 m@<od > 
ashamed <0954 buwsh >; for they shall not prosper <7919 sakal >: 
[their] everlasting <5769 <owlam > confusion <3639 k@limmah > 
shall never be forgotten <7911 shakach >.



 12 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that 
triest <0974 bachan > the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >, [and] 
seest <7200 ra>ah > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 
leb >, let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance <5360 n@qamah > on 
them: for unto thee have I opened <1540 galah > my cause <7379 
riyb >.



 13 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, praise 
<1984 halal > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for he hath delivered 
<5337 natsal > the soul <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> from 
the hand <3027 yad > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< >.



 14. Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the day <3117 yowm > wherein 
<0834 >aher > I was born <3205 yalad >: let not the day <3117 
yowm > wherein <0834 >aher > my mother <0517 >em > bare <3205 
yalad > me be blessed <1288 barak >.



 15 Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376 >iysh > who <0834

<1>, saying <0559 >amar >, A man <2145 zakar > child <1121 ben > 
is born <3205 yalad > unto thee; making him very glad <8056 
sameach >.



 16 And let that man <0376 >iysh > be as the cities <5892 <iyr > 
which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > overthrew <2015 
haphak >, and repented <5162 nacham > not: and let him hear 
<8085 shama< > the cry <2201 za<aq > in the morning <1242 boqer

 17 Because <0834 >aher > he slew <4191 muwth > me not from the 
womb <7358 rechem >; or that my mother <0517 >em > might have 
been <1961 hayah > my grave <6913 qeber >, and her womb <7358 
rechem > [to be] always <5769 <owlam > great <2030 hareh > [with

 18 Wherefore <4100 mah > came <3318 yatsa> > I forth <3318 
yatsa> > out of the womb <7358 rechem > to see <7200 ra>ah > 
labour <5999 <amal > and sorrow <3015 yagown >, that my days 
<3117 yowm > should be consumed <3615 kalah > with shame <1322 
bosheth >?



Jeremiah 21



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

when king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > sent <7971

of Melchiah <4441 Malkiyah >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > 
the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest 
<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Enquire <1875 darash >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > for us; for Nebuchadrezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
maketh war <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > us; if <0194

 3 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto them, 
Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667 
Tsidqiyah >:



 4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005

<3627 k@liy > of war <4421 milchamah > that [are] in your hands 
<3027 yad >, wherewith <0834 >aher > ye fight <3898 lacham > 
against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and 
[against] the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, which besiege <6696 
tsuwr > you without <2351 chuwts > the walls <2346 chowmah >, 
and I will assemble <0622 >acaph > them into <0413 >el > the 
midst <8432 tavek > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >.



 5 And I myself <0589 >aniy > will fight <3898 lacham > against 
you with an outstretched <5186 natah > hand <3027 yad > and with 
a strong <2389 chazaq > arm <2220 z@rowa< >, even in anger <0639

wrath <7110 qetseph >.



 6 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > 
of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, both man <0120 >adam > 
and beast <0929 b@hemah >: they shall die <4191 muwth > of a 
great <1419 gadowl > pestilence <1698 deber >.



 7 And afterward, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
I will deliver <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and his servants <5650 
<ebed >, and the people <5971 <am >, and such as are left <7604

pestilence <1698 deber >, from the sword <2719 chereb >, and 
from the famine <7458 ra<ab >, into the hand <3027 yad > of 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of their 
enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of those 
that seek <1245 baqash > their life <5315 nephesh >: and he 
shall smite <5221 nakah > them with the edge <6310 peh > of the 
sword <2719 chereb >; he shall not spare <2347 chuwc > them, 
neither <3808 lo> > have pity <2550 chamal >, nor <3808 lo> > 
have mercy <7355 racham >.



 8. And unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > thou shalt say 
<0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I set <5414 nathan > before

and the way <1870 derek > of death <4194 maveth >.



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

Jeremiah 22



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

<1696 dabar > there <8033 sham > this <2088 zeh > word <1697

 2 And say <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that sittest <3427 yashab > upon the 
throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David >, thou, and thy 
servants <5650 <ebed >, and thy people <5971 <am > that enter 
<0935 bow> > in by these <0428 >el-leh > gates <8179 sha<ar >:



 3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 Execute <6213 <asah > ye judgment <4941 mishpat > and 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, and deliver <5337 natsal > the 
spoiled <1497 gazal > out of the hand <3027 yad > of the 
oppressor <6216 <ashowq >: and do no <0408 >al > wrong <3238

innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > in this <2088 zeh > 
place <4725 maqowm >.



 4 For if <0518 >im > ye do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing 
<1697 dabar > indeed, then shall there enter <0935 bow> > in by 
the gates <8179 sha<ar > of this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith

servants <5650 <ebed >, and his people <5971 <am >.



 5 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > these 
<0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, I swear <7650 shaba< > by 
myself, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that this 
<2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > shall become <1961 hayah > a 
desolation <2723 chorbah >.



 6 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > unto the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thou [art] Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > unto me,
 [and] the head <7218 ro>sh > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >: [yet] 
surely I will make <7896 shiyth > thee a wilderness <4057 midbar

yashab >.



 7 And I will prepare <6942 qadash > destroyers <7843 shachath > 
against <5921 <al > thee, every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > 
with his weapons <3627 k@liy >: and they shall cut <3772 karath

[them] into <5921 <al > the fire <0784 >esh >.



 8 And many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > shall pass <5674 
<abar > by this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, and they shall 
say <0559 >amar > every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453

 9 Then they shall answer <0559 >amar >, Because they have 
forsaken <5800 <azab > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and worshipped <7812 
shachah > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and served 
<5647 <abad > them.



 10. Weep <1058 bakah > ye not for the dead <4191 muwth >, 
neither <0408 >al > bemoan <5110 nuwd > him: [but] weep <1058

<7200 ra>ah > his native <4138 mowledeth > country <0776 >erets

 11 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > touching <0413 >el > Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son 
<1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of

<8478 tachath > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > his father <1>, 
which <0834 >aher > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out

<7725 shuwb > thither <8033 sham > any more <5750 <owd >:



 12 But he shall die <4191 muwth > in the place <4725 maqowm > 
whither they have led him captive <1540 galah >, and shall see 
<7200 ra>ah > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > no <3808

 13 Woe <1945 howy > unto him that buildeth <1129 banah > his 
house <1004 bayith > by unrighteousness, and his chambers <5944 
<aliyah > by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's <7453 rea< > 
service <5647 <abad > without <2600 chinnam > wages <2600

 14 That saith <0559 >amar >, I will build <1129 banah > me a 
wide <4060 middah > house <1004 bayith > and large <7304 ravach

cedar <0730 >erez >, and painted <4886 mashach > with vermilion 
<8350 shashar >.



 15 Shalt thou reign <4427 malak >, because <3588 kiy > thou 
closest <8474 tacharah > [thyself] in cedar <0730 >erez >? did 
not thy father <1> eat <0398 >akal > and drink <8354 shathah >, 
and do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > and justice <6666 
ts@daqah >, [and] then <0227 >az > [it was] well <2896 towb > 
with him?



 16 He judged <1777 diyn > the cause <1779 diyn > of the poor 
<6041 <aniy > and needy <34>; then <0227 >az > [it was] well 
<2896 towb > [with him: was] not this <1931 huw> > to know <1847

 17 But thine eyes <5869 <ayin > and thine heart <3820 leb > 
[are] not but for thy covetousness <1215 betsa< >, and for to 
shed <8210 shaphak > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam >, 
and for oppression <6233 <osheq >, and for violence <4835 
m@rutsah >, to do <6213 <asah > [it].



 18 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > Jehoiakim <3079 
Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah >

 19 He shall be buried <6912 qabar > with the burial <6900 
q@buwrah > of an ass <2543 chamowr >, drawn <5498 cachab > and 
cast <7993 shalak > forth beyond <1973 hal@ah > the gates <8179

 20. Go <5927 <alah > up to Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, and cry 
<6817 tsa<aq >; and lift <5414 nathan > up thy voice <6963 qowl

passages <5676 <eber >: for all <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157

 21 I spake <1696 dabar > unto thee in thy prosperity <7962

<8085 shama< >. This <2088 zeh > [hath been] thy manner <1870 
derek > from thy youth <5271 na<uwr >, that thou obeyedst <8085

 22 The wind <7307 ruwach > shall eat <7462 ra<ah > up all <3605

shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >: surely 
<3588 kiy > then <0227 >az > shalt thou be ashamed <0954 buwsh > 
and confounded <3637 kalam > for all <3605 kol > thy wickedness 
<7451 ra< >.



 23 O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, 
that makest thy nest <7077 qanan > in the cedars <0730 >erez >, 
how <4100 mah > gracious <2603 chanan > shalt thou be when pangs 
<2256 chebel > come <0935 bow> > upon thee, the pain <2427 chiyl

 24 [As] I live <2416 chay >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

 25 And I will give <5414 nathan > thee into the hand <3027 yad

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of the

 26 And I will cast <2904 tuwl > thee out, and thy mother <0517

 27 But to the land <0776 >erets > whereunto <0834 >aher > they 
desire to return <7725 shuwb >, thither <8033 sham > shall they 
not return <7725 shuwb >.

Jeremiah 23



 1. Woe <1945 howy > be unto the pastors <7462 ra<ah > that 
destroy <6> and scatter <6327 puwts > the sheep <6629 tso>n > of 
my pasture <4830 mir<iyth >! saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

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

 4 And I will set <6965 quwm > up shepherds <7462 ra<ah > over

 5 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

 6 In his days <3117 yowm > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be

 7 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

 9. Mine heart <3820 leb > within <7130 qereb > me is broken 
<7665 shabar > because of the prophets <5030 nabiy> >; all <3605

 10 For the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of 
adulterers <5003 na>aph >; for because <6440 paniym > of

the pleasant <4999 na>ah > places of the wilderness <4057 midbar

 11 For both <1571 gam > prophet <5030 nabiy> > and priest <3548

 12 Wherefore <3651 ken > their way <1870 derek > shall be unto

 13 And I have seen <7200 ra>ah > folly <8604 tiphlah > in the

prophesied <5012 naba> > in Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and caused my

 14 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > also in the prophets <5030 nabiy> 
> of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > an horrible <8186 
sha<aruwrah > thing: they commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 
na>aph >, and walk <1980 halak > in lies <8267 sheqer >: they 
strengthen <2388 chazaq > also the hands <3027 yad > of 
evildoers <7489 ra<a< >, that none <1115 biltiy > doth return 
<7725 shuwb > from his wickedness <7451 ra< >: they are all 
<3605 kol > of them unto me as Sodom <5467 C@dom >, and the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof as Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah >.



 15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > concerning 
<5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >; Behold <2005 hen >, I 
will feed <0398 >akal > them with wormwood <3939 la<anah >, and 
make them drink <8248 shaqah > the water <4325 mayim > of gall 
<7219 ro>sh >: for from the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is profaneness <2613 chanuphah > gone <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into all <3605 kol > the land 
<0776 >erets >.



 16 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Hearken <8085 shama< > not unto the 
words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy 
<5012 naba> > unto you: they make you vain <1891 habal >: they 
speak <1696 dabar > a vision <2377 chazown > of their own heart 
<3820 leb >, [and] not out of the mouth <6310 peh > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 17 They say <0559 >amar > still unto them that despise <5006 
na>ats > me, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <1696 dabar >, 
Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm >; and they say 
<0559 >amar > unto every <3605 kol > one that walketh <1980 
halak > after the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his own 
heart <3820 leb >, No <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > shall come 
<0935 bow> > upon you.



 18 For who <4310 miy > hath stood <5975 <amad > in the counsel 
<5475 cowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and hath perceived 
<7200 ra>ah > and heard <8085 shama< > his word <1697 dabar >? 
who <4310 miy > hath marked <7181 qashab > his word <1697 dabar 
>, and heard <8085 shama< > [it]?



 19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > is gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > in 
fury <2534 chemah >, even a grievous <2342 chuwl > whirlwind 
<5591 ca<ar >: it shall fall <2342 chuwl > grievously <2342 
chuwl > upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of the wicked <7563 rasha< >.



 20 The anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall not 
return <7725 shuwb >, until <5704 <ad > he have executed <6213 
<asah >, and till <5704 <ad > he have performed <6965 quwm > the 
thoughts <4209 m@zimmah > of his heart <3820 leb >: in the 
latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm > ye shall consider 
<0995 biyn > it perfectly <0998 biynah >.



 21 I have not sent <7971 shalach > these prophets <5030 nabiy> 
>, yet they ran <7323 ruwts >: I have not spoken <1696 dabar > 
to them, yet they prophesied <5012 naba> >.



 22 But if they had stood <5975 <amad > in my counsel <5475 cowd 
>, and had caused my people <5971 <am > to hear <8085 shama< > 
my words <1697 dabar >, then they should have turned <7725 shuwb 
> them from their evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >, and from 
the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma<alal >.



 23 [Am] I a God <0430 >elohiym > at hand <7138 qarowb >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and not a God <0430 
>elohiym > afar <7350 rachowq > off?



 24 Can any <0376 >iysh > hide <5641 cathar > himself in secret 
<4565 mictar > places that I shall not see <7200 ra>ah > him? 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Do not I fill 
<4390 male> > heaven <8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >? 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 25 I have heard <8085 shama< > what the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
said <0559 >amar >, that prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267 
sheqer > in my name <8034 shem >, saying <0559 >amar >, I have 
dreamed <2492 chalam >, I have dreamed <2492 chalam >.



 26 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall [this] be in the 
heart <3820 leb > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy 
<5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer >? yea, [they are] prophets 
<5030 nabiy> > of the deceit <8649 tormah > of their own heart 
<3820 leb >;



 27 Which think <2803 chashab > to cause my people <5971 <am > 
to forget <7911 shakach > my name <8034 shem > by their dreams 
<2472 chalowm > which <0834 >aher > they tell <5608 caphar > 
every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >, as their 
fathers <1> have forgotten <7911 shakach > my name <8034 shem > 
for Baal <1168 Ba<al >.



 28 The prophet <5030 nabiy> > that hath a dream <2472 chalowm >,
 let him tell <5608 caphar > a dream <2472 chalowm >; and he 
that hath my word <1697 dabar >, let him speak <1696 dabar > my 
word <1697 dabar > faithfully <0571 >emeth >. What <4100 mah > 
[is] the chaff <8401 teben > to the wheat <1250 bar >? saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 29 [Is] not my word <1697 dabar > like <3541 koh > as a fire 
<0784 >esh >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and 
like a hammer <6360 pattiysh > [that] breaketh <6327 puwts > the 
rock <5553 cela< > in pieces?



 30 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against 
<5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that steal <1589 ganab > my words <1697 
dabar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his neighbour 
<7453 rea< >.



 31 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <5921 <al > the prophets 
<5030 nabiy> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
that use <3747 K@riyth > their tongues <3956 lashown >, and say, 
He saith <5002 n@>um >.



 32 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <5921 <al > them that 
prophesy <5012 naba> > false <8267 sheqer > dreams <2472 chalowm

<asah > tell <5608 caphar > them, and cause my people <5971 <am 
> to err <8582 ta<ah > by their lies <8267 sheqer >, and by 
their lightness <6350 pachazuwth >; yet I sent <7971 shalach > 
them not, nor <3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them: 
therefore they shall not profit <3276 ya<al > this <2088 zeh > 
people <5971 <am > at all, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 33. And when <3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, 
or <0176 >ow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, or <0176 >ow > a 
priest <3548 kohen >, shall ask <7592 sha>al > thee, saying 
<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > [is] the burden <4853 massa> > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? thou shalt then say <0559 >amar > 
unto them, What <4100 mah > burden <4853 massa> >? I will even 
forsake <5203 natash > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 34 And [as for] the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and the priest 
<3548 kohen >, and the people <5971 <am >, that shall say <0559 
>amar >, The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
I will even punish <6485 paqad > that man <0376 >iysh > and his 
house <1004 bayith >.



 35 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > every <0376 
>iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >, and 
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach

<anah >? and, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
spoken <1696 dabar >?



 36 And the burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
shall ye mention <2142 zakar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >: 
for every man's <0376 >iysh > word <1697 dabar > shall be his 
burden <4853 massa> >; for ye have perverted <2015 haphak > the 
words <1697 dabar > of the living <2416 chay > God <0430 
>elohiym >, of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > 
our God <0430 >elohiym >.



 37 Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > to the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> >, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
answered <6030 <anah > thee? and, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > spoken <1696 dabar >?



 38 But since <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853 
massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; therefore <3651 ken > thus 
<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; 
Because <3282 ya<an > ye say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > word 
<1697 dabar >, The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, and I have sent <7971 shalach > unto you, saying 
<0559 >amar >, Ye shall not say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853 
massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;



 39 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I, even I, will 
utterly forget <5382 nashah > you, and I will forsake <5203 
natash > you, and the city <5892 <iyr > that I gave <5414 nathan 
> you and your fathers <1>, [and cast you] out of my presence 
<6440 paniym >:



 40 And I will bring <5414 nathan > an everlasting <5769 <owlam

<owlam > shame <3640 k@limmuwth >, which <0834 >aher > shall not 
be forgotten <7911 shakach >.



Jeremiah 24



 1. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me, and, 
behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147 sh@nayim > baskets <1736 duwday

paniym > the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
after <0310 >achar > that Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar 
> king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > had carried <1540 
galah > away captive <1540 galah > Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the princes <8269 sar > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, with the carpenters <2796 charash > 
and smiths <4525 macger >, from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, 
and had brought <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 2 One <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od

<8384 t@>en > [that are] first <1073 bakkurah > ripe: and the 
other <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od 
> naughty <7451 ra< > figs <8384 t@>en >, which <0834 >aher > 
could not be eaten <0398 >akal >, they were so bad <7451 ra< >.



 3 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me, 
What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou, Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah >? And I said <0559 >amar >, Figs <8384 t@>en >; the 
good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, very <3966 m@<od > good 
<2896 towb >; and the evil <7451 ra< >, very <3966 m@<od > evil 
<7451 ra< >, that cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >, 
they are so evil <7455 roa< >.



 4 Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Like these 
<0428 >el-leh > good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, so <3651 
ken > will I acknowledge <5234 nakar > them that are carried 
<1546 galuwth > away captive <1546 galuwth > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have sent <7971 shalach > out 
of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > into the land <0776 
>erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > for [their] good <2896 
towb >.



 6 For I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them 
for good <2896 towb >, and I will bring <7725 shuwb > them again 
<7725 shuwb > to this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >: and I 
will build <1129 banah > them, and not pull <2040 harac > [them] 
down; and I will plant <5193 nata< > them, and not pluck <5428 
nathash > [them] up.



 7 And I will give <5414 nathan > them an heart <3820 leb > to 
know <3045 yada< > me, that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and 
they shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be their God 
<0430 >elohiym >: for they shall return <7725 shuwb > unto me 
with their whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb >.



 8 And as the evil <7451 ra< > figs <8384 t@>en >, which <0834 
>aher > cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >, they are so 
evil <7455 roa< >; surely <3588 kiy > thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, So <3651 ken > will I 
give <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and his princes <8269 sar >, 
and the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, that remain <7604 sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > 
land <0776 >erets >, and them that dwell <3427 yashab > in the 
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >:



 9 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed <2189 
za<avah > into all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of 
the earth <0776 >erets > for [their] hurt <7451 ra< >, [to be] a 
reproach <2781 cherpah > and a proverb <4912 mashal >, a taunt 
<8148 sh@niynah > and a curse <7045 q@lalah >, in all <3605 kol 
> places <4725 maqowm > whither I shall drive <5080 nadach > 
them.



 10 And I will send <7971 shalach > the sword <2719 chereb >, 
the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and the pestilence <1698 deber >, 
among them, till <5704 <ad > they be consumed <8552 tamam > from 
off <5921 <al > the land <0127 >adamah > that I gave <5414

Jeremiah 25



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

 2 The which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet

Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 3 From the thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Josiah <2977 
Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 >Amown > king

twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh >, the word <1697

 4 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > unto

 5 They said <0559 >amar >, Turn <7725 shuwb > ye again <7725 
shuwb > now <4994 na> > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >

 8. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

 9 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > and take

 10 Moreover I will take <6> from them the voice <6963 qowl > of

 11 And this <2063 zo>th > whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > 
shall be a desolation <2723 chorbah >, [and] an astonishment 
<8047 shammah >; and these <0428 >el-leh > nations <1471 gowy > 
shall serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > years <8141 shaneh >.



 12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when seventy <7657

[that] I will punish <6485 paqad > the king <4428 melek > of

and will make <7760 suwm > it perpetual <5769 <owlam > 
desolations <8077 sh@mamah >.



 13 And I will bring <0935 bow> > upon that land <0776 >erets > 
all <3605 kol > my words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > I 
have pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > it, [even] all

 14 For many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > and great <1419

 15. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > unto

 16 And they shall drink <8354 shathah >, and be moved <1607

the sword <2719 chereb > that I will send <7971 shalach > among

 17 Then took <3947 laqach > I the cup <3563 kowc > at the 
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > hand <3027 yad >, and made all <3605 kol

 26 And all <3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the north

 27 Therefore thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541

 28 And it shall be, if they refuse <3985 ma>en > to take <3947 
laqach > the cup <3563 kowc > at thine hand <3027 yad > to drink 
<8354 shathah >, then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, 
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Ye shall certainly drink <8354 shathah >.



 29 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I begin <2490 chalal > to bring evil 
<7489 ra<a< > on the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > is 
called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >, and should ye be

the earth <0776 >erets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 30. Therefore prophesy <5012 naba> > thou against <0413 >el > 
them all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, 
and say <0559 >amar > unto them, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall

they that tread <1869 darak > [the grapes], against <0413 >el > 
all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the earth 
<0776 >erets >.



 31 A noise <7588 sha>own > shall come <0935 bow> > [even] to 
the ends <7097 qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >; for the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath a controversy <7379 riyb > with the 
nations <1471 gowy >, he will plead <8199 shaphat > with all 
<3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >; he will give <5414 nathan > 
them [that are] wicked <7563 rasha< > to the sword <2719 chereb

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

whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > shall be raised <5782 <uwr > up from the 
coasts <3411 y@rekah > of the earth <0776 >erets >.



 33 And the slain <2491 chalal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
shall be at that day <3117 yowm > from [one] end <7097 qatseh > 
of the earth <0776 >erets > even unto the [other] end <7097 
qatseh > of the earth <0776 >erets >: they shall not be lamented 
<5594 caphad >, neither <3808 lo> > gathered <0622 >acaph >, nor 
<3808 lo> > buried <6912 qabar >; they shall be dung <1828 domen

 34 Howl <3213 yalal >, ye shepherds <7462 ra<ah >, and cry 
<2199 za<aq >; and wallow <6428 palash > yourselves [in the 
ashes], ye principal <0117 >addiyr > of the flock <6629 tso>n >: 
for the days <3117 yowm > of your slaughter <2873 tabach > and 
of your dispersions <8600 t@phowtsah > are accomplished <4390 
male> >; and ye shall fall <5307 naphal > like a pleasant <2532

 35 And the shepherds <7462 ra<ah > shall have no <4480 min > 
way <4498 manowc > to flee <4498 manowc >, nor the principal 
<0117 >addiyr > of the flock <6629 tso>n > to escape <6413 
p@leytah >.



 36 A voice <6963 qowl > of the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the 
shepherds <7462 ra<ah >, and an howling <3213 yalal > of the 
principal <0117 >addiyr > of the flock <6629 tso>n >, [shall be 
heard <8085 shama< >]: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoiled 
<7703 shadad > their pasture <4830 mir<iyth >.



 37 And the peaceable <7965 shalowm > habitations <4999 na>ah > 
are cut <1826 damam > down because <6440 paniym > of the fierce 
<2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 38 He hath forsaken <5800 <azab > his covert <5520 cok >, as 
the lion <3715 k@phiyr >: for their land <0776 >erets > is 
desolate <8047 shammah > because <6440 paniym > of the 
fierceness <2740 charown > of the oppressor <3238 yanah >, and 
because <6440 paniym > of his fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639

Jeremiah 26



 1. In the beginning <7225 re>shiyth > of the reign <4468 
mamlakuwth > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben

Y@huwdah > came <1961 hayah > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar

 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 Stand <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD'S 
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >, and speak <1696 dabar > 
unto all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, which come <0935 bow> > to worship <7812 shachah > 
in the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >, all <3605 
kol > the words <1697 dabar > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee 
to speak <1696 dabar > unto them; diminish <1639 gara< > not a 
word <1697 dabar >:



 3 If <0194 >uwlay > so be they will hearken <8085 shama< >, and 
turn <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 
ra< > way <1870 derek >, that I may repent <5162 nacham > me of 
the evil <7451 ra< >, which <0834 >aher > I purpose <2803 
chashab > to do <6213 <asah > unto them because <6440 paniym > 
of the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma<alal >.



 4 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; If <0518 >im > ye 
will not hearken <8085 shama< > to me, to walk <1980 halak > in 
my law <8451 towrah >, which <0834 >aher > I have set <5414 
nathan > before <6440 paniym > you,



 5 To hearken <8085 shama< > to the words <1697 dabar > of my 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, whom <0834

shakam > up early <7925 shakam >, and sending <7971 shalach > 
[them], but ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< >;



 6 Then will I make <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 
bayith > like Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and will make <5414 nathan

to all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth <0776

 7. So the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > heard <8085 shama< > 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > speaking <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el-

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 8 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking <1696 dabar

<6680 tsavah > [him] to speak <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol > 
the people <5971 <am >, that the priests <3548 kohen > and the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am

surely die <4191 muwth >.



 9 Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou prophesied <5012 naba> > in 
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 
>amar >, This <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > shall be like 
Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > 
shall be desolate <2717 charab > without <0369 >ayin > an 
inhabitant <3427 yashab >? And all <3605 kol > the people <5971 
<am > were gathered <6950 qahal > against <0413 >el > Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 10 When the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > heard 
<8085 shama< > these <0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >, then 
they came <5927 <alah > up from the king's <4428 melek > house 
<1004 bayith > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, and sat <3427 yashab > down in the entry <6607 
pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the 
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > [house].



 11 Then spake <0559 >amar > the priests <3548 kohen > and the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto the princes <8269 sar > and to all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, This 
<2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > [is] worthy to die <4194 maveth >; 
for he hath prophesied <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > this 
<2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, as ye have heard <8085 shama< > 
with your ears <0241 >ozen >.



 12 Then spake <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto all 
<3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > and to all <3605 kol > the 
people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol > 
the words <1697 dabar > that ye have heard <8085 shama< >.



 13 Therefore now <6258 <attah > amend <3190 yatab > your ways 
<1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal >, and obey <8085 
shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your 
God <0430 >elohiym >; and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will repent 
<5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > that he hath 
pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > you.



 14 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I [am] in your hand <3027 yad

towb > and meet <3477 yashar > unto you.



 15 But know <3045 yada< > ye for certain <3045 yada< >, that if 
<0518 >im > ye put me to death <4191 muwth >, ye shall surely 
<3588 kiy > bring <5414 nathan > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood 
<1818 dam > upon yourselves, and upon this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr >, and upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof: 
for of a truth <0571 >emeth > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent 
<7971 shalach > me unto you to speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol

>ozen >.



 16. Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > and all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > unto the priests <3548 kohen 
> and to the prophets <5030 nabiy> >; This <2088 zeh > man <0376

spoken <1696 dabar > to us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.



 17 Then rose <6965 quwm > up certain <0582 >enowsh > of the 
elders <2205 zaqen > of the land <0776 >erets >, and spake <0559 
>amar > to all <3605 kol > the assembly <6951 qahal > of the 
people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 18 Micah <4320 Miykayah > the Morasthite <4183 Morashtiy > 
prophesied <5012 naba> > in the days <3117 yowm > of Hezekiah 
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
and spake <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am

koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> >; Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall be plowed <2790 
charash > [like] a field <7704 sadeh >, and Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps <5856 <iy >, and 
the mountain <2022 har > of the house <1004 bayith > as the high 
<1116 bamah > places of a forest <3293 ya<ar >.



 19 Did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > and all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > put 
him at all <3605 kol > to death <4191 muwth >? did he not fear 
<3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and besought <2470 
chalah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
repented <5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > which <0834

them? Thus might we procure <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > 
evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > our souls <5315 nephesh >.



 20 And there was also <1571 gam > a man <0376 >iysh > that 
prophesied <5012 naba> > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, Urijah <0223 >Uwriyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > of Kirjathjearim <7157 Qiryath 
Y@<ariym >, who prophesied <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al >

this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > according to all <3605

 21 And when Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428 melek

<3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar >, heard <8085 shama< > his

and fled <1272 barach >, and went <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >;



 22 And Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428 melek > 
sent <7971 shalach > men <0582 >enowsh > into Egypt <4714

 23 And they fetched <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > Urijah

 24 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > the hand <3027 yad > of Ahikam

Jeremiah 27



 1. In the beginning <7225 re>shiyth > of the reign <4467

of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > came <1961 hayah > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar

saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
to me; Make <6213 <asah > thee bonds <4147 mowcer > and yokes 
<4133 mowtah >, and put <5414 nathan > them upon thy neck <6677 
tsavva>r >,



 3 And send <7971 shalach > them to the king <4428 melek > of 
Edom <0123 >Edom >, and to the king <4428 melek > of Moab <4124 
Mow>ab >, and to the king <4428 melek > of the Ammonites <5984

<0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto Zedekiah 
<6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >;



 4 And command <6680 tsavah > them to say <0559 >amar > unto 
their masters <0113 >adown >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar

<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Thus <3541 koh > 
shall ye say <0559 >amar > unto your masters <0113 >adown >;



 5 I have made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets >, the man 
<0120 >adam > and the beast <0929 b@hemah > that [are] upon the 
ground <0776 >erets >, by my great <1419 gadowl > power <3581 
koach > and by my outstretched <5186 natah > arm <2220 z@rowa< >,
 and have given <5414 nathan > it unto whom <0834 >aher > it 
seemed <5869 <ayin > meet <3474 yashar > unto me.



 6 And now <6258 <attah > have I given <5414 nathan > all <3605

serve <5647 <abad > him.



 7 And all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > shall serve <5647 
<abad > him, and his son <1121 ben >, and his son's <1121 ben > 
son <1121 ben >, until <5704 <ad > the very time <6256 <eth > of 
his land <0776 >erets > come <0935 bow> >: and then many <7227 
rab > nations <1471 gowy > and great <1419 gadowl > kings <4428 
melek > shall serve <5647 <abad > themselves of him.



 8 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] the nation 
<1471 gowy > and kingdom <4467 mamlakah > which <0834 >aher > 
will not serve <5647 <abad > the same Nebuchadnezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel >, and that will not put <5414 nathan > their neck <6677 
tsavva>r > under the yoke <5923 <ol > of the king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, that nation <1471 gowy > will I punish 
<6485 paqad >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
with the sword <2719 chereb >, and with the famine <7458 ra<ab >,
 and with the pestilence <1698 deber >, until <5704 <ad > I have 
consumed <8552 tamam > them by his hand <3027 yad >.



 9 Therefore hearken <8085 shama< > not ye to your prophets 
<5030 nabiy> >, nor to your diviners <7080 qacam >, nor to your 
dreamers <2492 chalam >, nor to your enchanters <6049 <anan >, 
nor to your sorcerers <3786 kashshaph >, which <0834 >aher > 
speak <0559 >amar > unto you, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not 
serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel >:



 10 For they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto 
you, to remove <7368 rachaq > you far <7368 rachaq > from your 
land <0127 >adamah >; and that I should drive <5080 nadach > you 
out, and ye should perish <6>.



 11 But the nations <1471 gowy > that bring <0935 bow> > their 
neck <6677 tsavva>r > under the yoke <5923 <ol > of the king 
<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and serve <5647 <abad > 
him, those will I let remain <3241 Yaniym > still in their own 
land <0127 >adamah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

 12. I spake <1696 dabar > also to Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > according to all 
<3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, Bring <0935 bow> > your necks <6677 tsavva>r > 
under the yoke <5923 <ol > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel >, and serve <5647 <abad > him and his people <5971 
<am >, and live <2421 chayah >.



 13 Why <4100 mah > will ye die <4191 muwth >, thou and thy 
people <5971 <am >, by the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine 
<7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >, as the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > 
the nation <1471 gowy > that will not serve <5647 <abad > the 
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >?



 14 Therefore hearken <8085 shama< > not unto the words <1697 
dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that speak <0559 >amar > 
unto you, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not serve <5647 <abad > 
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >: for they 
prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you.



 15 For I have not sent <7971 shalach > them, saith <5002 n@>um 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, yet they prophesy <5012 naba> > a 
lie <8267 sheqer > in my name <8034 shem >; that I might drive 
<5080 nadach > you out, and that ye might perish <6>, ye, and 
the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you.



 16 Also I spake <1696 dabar > to the priests <3548 kohen > and 
to all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; Hearken <8085 shama< > not to the words <1697

the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house 
<1004 bayith > shall now <6258 <attah > shortly <4120 m@herah > 
be brought <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > from Babylon <0894 
Babel >: for they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > 
unto you.



 17 Hearken <8085 shama< > not unto them; serve <5647 <abad > 
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and live <2421 
chayah >: wherefore <4100 mah > should this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr > be laid waste <2723 chorbah >?



 18 But if <0518 >im > they [be] prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and if 
<0518 >im > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
be with them, let them now <4994 na> > make intercession <6293 
paga< > to the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, 
that the vessels <3627 k@liy > which are left <3498 yathar > in

<3063 Y@huwdah >, and at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, go 
<0935 bow> > not to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 19 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > concerning <5921 <al > the 
pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, and concerning <5921 <al > the sea

 20 Which <0834 >aher > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >

Y@huwdah > and of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;



 22 They shall be carried <0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 Babel >,

 10. Then Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >

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

 15 Then said <0559 >amar > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah

shalach > thee from off <5921 <al > the face <6440 paniym > of 
the earth <0127 >adamah >: this year <8141 shaneh > thou shalt

<3068 Y@hovah >.



 17 So Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > 
died <4191 muwth > the same <1931 huw> > year <8141 shaneh > in 
the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >.



Jeremiah 29



 1. Now these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the words <1697 dabar > of 
the letter <5612 cepher > that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > sent <7971 shalach > from Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > unto the residue <3499 yether > of the elders 
<2205 zaqen > which were carried <1473 gowlah > away captives 
<1473 gowlah >, and to the priests <3548 kohen >, and to the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 
<am > whom <0834 >aher > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar 
> had carried <1540 galah > away captive <1473 gowlah > from 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Babylon <0894 Babel >;



 2 (After that Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the king <4428 melek >, 
and the queen <1377 g@biyrah >, and the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >, 
the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and the carpenters <2796 charash >, and 
the smiths <4525 macger >, were departed <3318 yatsa> > from 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;)



 3 By the hand <3027 yad > of Elasah <0501 >El<asah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >, and Gemariah <1587 
G@maryah > the son <1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, 
(whom Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > sent <7971 shalach > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > 
to Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel >) saying <0559 >amar >,



 4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, unto all <3605 kol > that are carried <1473 
gowlah > away captives <1473 gowlah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have 
caused to be carried <1540 galah > away from Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >;



 5 Build <1129 banah > ye houses <1004 bayith >, and dwell <3427 
yashab > [in them]; and plant <5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah 
>, and eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them;



 6 Take <3947 laqach > ye wives <0802 >ishshah >, and beget 
<3205 yalad > sons <1121 ben > and daughters <1121 ben >; and 
take <3947 laqach > wives <0802 >ishshah > for your sons <1121 
ben >, and give <5414 nathan > your daughters <1121 ben > to 
husbands <0582 >enowsh >, that they may bear <3205 yalad > sons 
<1121 ben > and daughters <1121 ben >; that ye may be increased 
<7235 rabah > there <8033 sham >, and not diminished <4591 ma<at 
>.



 7 And seek <1875 darash > the peace <7965 shalowm > of the city 
<5892 <iyr > whither I have caused you to be carried <1540 galah 
> away captives <1540 galah >, and pray <6419 palal > unto the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > for it: for in the peace <7965 shalowm > 
thereof shall ye have peace <7965 shalowm >.



 8. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Let not your prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
and your diviners <7080 qacam >, that [be] in the midst <7130 
qereb > of you, deceive <5377 nasha> > you, neither <0408 >al > 
hearken <8085 shama< > to your dreams <2472 chalowm > which 
<0834 >aher > ye cause to be dreamed <2492 chalam >.



 9 For they prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely <8267 sheqer > unto 
you in my name <8034 shem >: I have not sent <7971 shalach > 
them, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 10 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, That after <6310 peh > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > 
years <8141 shaneh > be accomplished <4390 male> > at Babylon 
<0894 Babel > I will visit <6485 paqad > you, and perform <6965 
quwm > my good <2896 towb > word <1697 dabar > toward <5921 <al 
> you, in causing you to return <7725 shuwb > to this <2088 zeh

 11 For I know <3045 yada< > the thoughts <4284 machashabah > 
that I think <2803 chashab > toward <5921 <al > you, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thoughts <4284 machashabah > 
of peace <7965 shalowm >, and not of evil <7451 ra< >, to give 
<5414 nathan > you an expected <8615 tiqvah > end <0319 
>achariyth >.



 12 Then shall ye call <7121 qara> > upon me, and ye shall go 
<1980 halak > and pray <6419 palal > unto me, and I will hearken 
<8085 shama< > unto you.



 13 And ye shall seek <1245 baqash > me, and find <4672 matsa> > 
[me], when <3588 kiy > ye shall search <1875 darash > for me 
with all <3605 kol > your heart <3824 lebab >.



 14 And I will be found <4672 matsa> > of you, saith <5002 n@>um 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and I will turn <7725 shuwb > away 
your captivity <7622 sh@buwth >, and I will gather <6908 qabats

all <3605 kol > the places <4725 maqowm > whither I have driven 
<5080 nadach > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 and I will bring <7725 shuwb > you again <7725 shuwb > into 
<0413 >el > the place <4725 maqowm > whence I caused you to be 
carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 galah >.



 15. Because <3588 kiy > ye have said <0559 >amar >, The LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > hath raised <6965 quwm > us up prophets <5030 
nabiy> > in Babylon <0894 Babel >;



 16 [Know] that thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > of the king <4428 melek > that sitteth <3427 
yashab > upon the throne <3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David >, 
and of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that dwelleth 
<3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, [and] of 
your brethren <0251 >ach > that are not gone <3318 yatsa> > 
forth <3318 yatsa> > with you into captivity <1473 gowlah >;



 17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 
shalach > upon them the sword <2719 chereb >, the famine <7458 
ra<ab >, and the pestilence <1698 deber >, and will make <5414 
nathan > them like vile <8182 sho<ar > figs <8384 t@>en >, that 
cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >, they are so evil 
<7455 roa< >.



 18 And I will persecute them with the sword <2719 chereb >, 
with the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and with the pestilence <1698 
deber >, and will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed 
<2189 za<avah > to all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > 
of the earth <0776 >erets >, to be a curse <0423 >alah >, and an 
astonishment <8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah >, 
and a reproach <2781 cherpah >, among all <3605 kol > the 
nations <1471 gowy > whither I have driven <5080 nadach > them:



 19 Because they have not hearkened <8085 shama< > to my words 
<1697 dabar >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > unto them by my 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, rising <7925 
shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach > 
[them]; but ye would not hear <8085 shama< >, saith <5002 n@>um 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 20 Hear <8085 shama< > ye therefore the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > ye of the captivity 
<1473 gowlah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have sent <7971 shalach > 
from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Babylon <0894 Babel >:



 21 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >, of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of 
Kolaiah <6964 Qowlayah >, and of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah >, which prophesy 
<5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you in my name <8034 
shem >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, I will deliver <5414 nathan > 
them into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >; 
and he shall slay <5221 nakah > them before your eyes <5869 
<ayin >;



 22 And of them shall be taken <3947 laqach > up a curse <7045 
q@lalah > by all <3605 kol > the captivity <1546 galuwth > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > which <0834 >aher > [are] in Babylon 
<0894 Babel >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
make <7760 suwm > thee like Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > and like 
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel > roasted <7033 qalah > in the fire <0784 
>esh >;



 23 Because they have committed <6213 <asah > villany <5039 
n@balah > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and have committed <6213 
<asah > adultery <5003 na>aph > with their neighbours <7453 rea< 
>' wives <0802 >ishshah >, and have spoken <1696 dabar > lying 
<8267 sheqer > words <1697 dabar > in my name <8034 shem >, 
which <0834 >aher > I have not commanded <6680 tsavah > them; 
even I know <3045 yada< >, and [am] a witness <5707 <ed >, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 24. [Thus] shalt thou also speak <0559 >amar > to Shemaiah 
<8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 Nechelamiy >, saying 
<0559 >amar >,



 25 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Because thou hast 
sent <7971 shalach > letters <5612 cepher > in thy name <8034 
shem > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that [are] at 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and to Zephaniah <6846 
Ts@phanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > 
the priest <3548 kohen >, and to all <3605 kol > the priests 
<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 26 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made <5414 nathan > thee 
priest <3548 kohen > in the stead <8478 tachath > of Jehoiada 
<3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >, that ye should be 
officers <6496 paqiyd > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, for every man <0376 >iysh > [that is] mad <7696 
shaga< >, and maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba> >, that thou 
shouldest put <5414 nathan > him in prison <4115 mahpeketh >, 
and in the stocks <6729 tsiynoq >.



 27 Now <6258 <attah > therefore why <4100 mah > hast thou not 
reproved <1605 ga<ar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > of Anathoth 
<6068 <Anathowth >, which maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba> > 
to you?



 28 For therefore he sent <7971 shalach > unto us [in] Babylon 
<0894 Babel >, saying <0559 >amar >, This <1931 huw> > 
[captivity is] long <0752 >arok >: build <1129 banah > ye houses 
<1004 bayith >, and dwell <3427 yashab > [in them]; and plant 
<5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah >, and eat <0398 >akal > the 
fruit <6529 p@riy > of them.



 29 And Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the priest <3548 kohen > 
read <7121 qara> > this letter <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241 
>ozen > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >.



 30 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 31 Send <7971 shalach > to all <3605 kol > them of the 
captivity <1473 gowlah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 
>el > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 Nechelamiy 
>; Because that Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > hath prophesied <5012 
naba> > unto you, and I sent <7971 shalach > him not, and he 
caused you to trust <0982 batach > in a lie <8267 sheqer >:



 32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will punish 
<6485 paqad > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 
Nechelamiy >, and his seed <2233 zera< >: he shall not have 
<1961 hayah > a man <0376 >iysh > to dwell <3427 yashab > among 
<8432 tavek > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >; neither <3808 
lo> > shall he behold <7200 ra>ah > the good <2896 towb > that I 
will do <6213 <asah > for my people <5971 <am >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588 kiy > he hath 
taught <1696 dabar > rebellion <5627 carah > against <5921 <al > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 30



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Write <3789 kathab > thee all <3605 kol > 
the words <1697 dabar > that I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto 
thee in a book <5612 cepher >.



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

bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622 
sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >: and I will cause them to return <7725 shuwb > to the 
land <0776 >erets > that I gave <5414 nathan > to their fathers 
<1>, and they shall possess <3423 yarash > it.



 4 And these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the words <1697 dabar > that 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > concerning <0413 
>el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and concerning <0413 >el > Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >.



 5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; We have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > of 
trembling <2731 charadah >, of fear <6343 pachad >, and not of 
peace <7965 shalowm >.



 6 Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> >, and see <7200 ra>ah > 
whether <0518 >im > a man <2145 zakar > doth travail <3205 yalad

<7200 ra>ah > every <3605 kol > man <1397 geber > with his hands 
<3027 yad > on <5921 <al > his loins <2504 chalats >, as a woman 
in travail <3205 yalad >, and all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym

 7 Alas <1945 howy >! for that day <3117 yowm > [is] great <1419 
gadowl >, so that none <0369 >ayin > [is] like <3644 k@mow > it: 
it [is] even the time <6256 <eth > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob > 
trouble <6869 tsarah >; but he shall be saved <3467 yasha< > out 
of it.



 8 For it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117 
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> >, [that] I will break <7665 shabar > his yoke 
<5923 <ol > from off <5921 <al > thy neck <6677 tsavva>r >, and 
will burst <5423 nathaq > thy bonds <4147 mowcer >, and 
strangers <2114 zuwr > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > 
serve <5647 <abad > themselves of him:



 9 But they shall serve <5647 <abad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
their God <0430 >elohiym >, and David <1732 David > their king 
<4428 melek >, whom <0834 >aher > I will raise <6965 quwm > up 
unto them.



 10. Therefore fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O my servant <5650 
<ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; neither <0408 >al > be dismayed <2865 chathath

save <3467 yasha< > thee from afar <7350 rachowq >, and thy seed 
<2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity 
<7628 sh@biy >; and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shall return <7725 
shuwb >, and shall be in rest <8252 shaqat >, and be quiet <7599 
sha>an >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall make [him] afraid <2729 
charad >.



 11 For I [am] with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, to save <3467 yasha< > thee: though <3588 kiy > I 
make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > of all <3605 kol > 
nations <1471 gowy > whither I have scattered <6327 puwts > thee,
 yet <0389 >ak > will I not make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 
kalah > of thee: but I will correct <3256 yacar > thee in 
measure <4941 mishpat >, and will not leave thee altogether 
unpunished <5352 naqah >.



 12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, Thy bruise <7667 sheber > [is] incurable <0605 >anash 
>, [and] thy wound <4347 makkah > [is] grievous <2470 chalah >.



 13 [There is] none <0369 >ayin > to plead <1777 diyn > thy 
cause <1779 diyn >, that thou mayest be bound <4205 mazowr > up: 
thou hast no <0369 >ayin > healing <8585 t@<alah > medicines 
<7499 r@phu>ah >.



 14 All <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > have forgotten 
<7911 shakach > thee; they seek <1875 darash > thee not; for I 
have wounded <5221 nakah > thee with the wound <4347 makkah > of 
an enemy <0341 >oyeb >, with the chastisement <4148 muwcar > of 
a cruel <0394 >akzariy > one, for the multitude <7230 rob > of 
thine iniquity <5771 <avon >; [because] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah

 15 Why <4100 mah > criest <2199 za<aq > thou for thine 
affliction <7667 sheber >? thy sorrow <4341 mak>ob > [is] 
incurable <0605 >anash > for the multitude <7230 rob > of thine 
iniquity <5771 <avon >: [because] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah > 
were increased <6105 <atsam >, I have done <6213 <asah > these 
<0428 >el-leh > things unto thee.



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

and all <3605 kol > that prey <0962 bazaz > upon thee will I 
give <5414 nathan > for a prey <7998 shalal >.



 17 For I will restore <5927 <alah > health <0724 >aruwkah > 
unto thee, and I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee of thy wounds 
<4347 makkah >, saith the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588

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

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

be builded <1129 banah > upon her own heap <8510 tel >, and the 
palace <0759 >armown > shall remain <3427 yashab > after <5921

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

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

 21 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > shall be of themselves, and 
their governor <4910 mashal > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from

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

Jeremiah 31



 1. At the same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, will I be the God <0430 
>elohiym > of all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and they shall be my people <5971 <am >.



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 The people <5971 <am > [which were] left <8300 sariyd > of the 
sword <2719 chereb > found <4672 matsa> > grace <2580 chen > in 
the wilderness <4057 midbar >; [even] Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, 
when I went <1980 halak > to cause him to rest <7280 raga< >.



 3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath appeared <7200 ra>ah > of old 
<7350 rachowq > unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved <0157 >ahab

therefore with lovingkindness <2617 checed > have I drawn <4900 
mashak > thee.



 4 Again <5750 <owd > I will build <1129 banah > thee, and thou 
shalt be built <1129 banah >, O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: thou shalt again <5750 <owd > be 
adorned <5710 <adah > with thy tabrets <8596 toph >, and shalt 
go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > in the dances of them 
that make merry <7832 sachaq >.



 5 Thou shalt yet <5750 <owd > plant <5193 nata< > vines <3754 
kerem > upon the mountains <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown >: the planters <5193 nata< > shall plant <5193 nata<

 6 For there shall be a day <3117 yowm >, [that] the watchmen 
<5341 natsar > upon the mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669 
>Ephrayim > shall cry <7121 qara> >, Arise <6965 quwm > ye, and 
let us go <5927 <alah > up to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > unto the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.



 7 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; Sing <7442 ranan > with gladness <8057 simchah > for 
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and shout <6670 tsahal > among the chief 
<7218 ro>sh > of the nations <1471 gowy >: publish <8085 shama<

<3068 Y@hovah >, save <3467 yasha< > thy people <5971 <am >, the 
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 8 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > them from the 
north <6828 tsaphown > country <0776 >erets >, and gather <6908 
qabats > them from the coasts <3411 y@rekah > of the earth <0776 
>erets >, [and] with them the blind <5787 <ivver > and the lame 
<6455 picceach >, the woman with child <2030 hareh > and her 
that travaileth <3205 yalad > with child <3205 yalad > together 
<3162 yachad >: a great <1419 gadowl > company <6951 qahal > 
shall return <7725 shuwb > thither <2008 hennah >.



 9 They shall come <0935 bow> > with weeping <1065 B@kiy >, and 
with supplications <8469 tachanuwn > will I lead <2986 yabal > 
them: I will cause them to walk <1980 halak > by the rivers 
<5158 nachal > of waters <4325 mayim > in a straight <3474 
yashar > way <1870 derek >, wherein they shall not stumble <3782 
kashal >: for I am a father <1> to Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and 
Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [is] my firstborn <1060 b@kowr >.



 10. Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, O ye nations <1471 gowy >, and declare <5046 
nagad > [it] in the isles <0339 >iy > afar <4801 merchaq > off, 
and say <0559 >amar >, He that scattered <2219 zarah > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > will gather <6908 qabats > him, and keep <8104 
shamar > him, as a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > [doth] his flock <5739 
<eder >.



 11 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <6299 padah > 
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and ransomed <1350 ga>al > him from the 
hand <3027 yad > of [him that was] stronger <2388 chazaq > than 
he.



 12 Therefore they shall come <0935 bow> > and sing <7442 ranan 
> in the height <4791 marowm > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and 
shall flow <5102 nahar > together to the goodness <2898 tuwb > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, for wheat <1715 dagan >, and for 
wine <8492 tiyrowsh >, and for oil <3323 yitshar >, and for the 
young <1121 ben > of the flock <6629 tso>n > and of the herd 
<1241 baqar >: and their soul <5315 nephesh > shall be as a 
watered <7302 raveh > garden <1588 gan >; and they shall not 
sorrow <1669 da>ab > any more <3254 yacaph > at all.



 13 Then shall the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > rejoice <8057 
simchah > in the dance <4234 machowl >, both young <0970 bachuwr 
> men and old <2205 zaqen > together <3162 yachad >: for I will 
turn <2015 haphak > their mourning <60> into joy <8342 sasown >, 
and will comfort <5162 nacham > them, and make them rejoice 
<8057 simchah > from their sorrow <3015 yagown >.



 14 And I will satiate <7301 ravah > the soul <5315 nephesh > of 
the priests <3548 kohen > with fatness <1880 deshen >, and my 
people <5971 <am > shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > with my 
goodness <2898 tuwb >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 15 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
>; A voice <6963 qowl > was heard <8085 shama< > in Ramah <7414 
Ramah >, lamentation <5092 n@hiy >, [and] bitter <8563 tamruwr > 
weeping <1065 B@kiy >; Rahel <7354 Rachel > weeping <1058 bakah

comforted <5162 nacham > for her children <1121 ben >, because 
<3588 kiy > they [were] not.



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

<1065 B@kiy >, and thine eyes <5869 <ayin > from tears <1832 
dim<ah >: for thy work <6468 p@<ullah > shall be rewarded <7939 
sakar >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and they 
shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > from the land <0776 
>erets > of the enemy <0341 >oyeb >.



 17 And there is hope <8615 tiqvah > in thine end <0319 
>achariyth >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that 
thy children <1121 ben > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725 
shuwb > to their own border <1366 g@buwl >.



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

<3256 yacar > me, and I was chastised <3256 yacar >, as a 
bullock <5695 <egel > unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn <7725 
shuwb > thou me, and I shall be turned <7725 shuwb >; for thou 
[art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym >.



 19 Surely <3588 kiy > after <0310 >achar > that I was turned 
<7725 shuwb >, I repented <5162 nacham >; and after <0310 >achar

upon [my] thigh <3409 yarek >: I was ashamed <0954 buwsh >, yea 
<1571 gam >, even <1571 gam > confounded <3637 kalam >, because 
<3588 kiy > I did bear <5375 nasa> > the reproach <2781 cherpah

 20 [Is] Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > my dear <3357 yaqqiyr > son 
<1121 ben >? [is he] a pleasant <8191 sha<shua< > child <3205 
yalad >? for since <1767 day > I spake <1696 dabar > against him,
 I do earnestly remember <2142 zakar > him still <5750 <owd >: 
therefore my bowels <4578 me<ah > are troubled <1993 hamah > for 
him; I will surely have mercy <7355 racham > upon him, saith 
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 21 Set <5324 natsab > thee up waymarks <6725 tsiyuwn >, make 
<7760 suwm > thee high <8564 tamruwr > heaps <8564 tamruwr >: 
set <7896 shiyth > thine heart <3820 leb > toward the highway 
<4546 m@cillah >, [even] the way <1870 derek > [which] thou 
wentest <1980 halak >: turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >, O 
virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, turn <7725 
shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > to these <0428 >el-leh > thy cities 
<5892 <iyr >.



 22 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > wilt thou go <2559 chamaq > 
about <2559 chamaq >, O thou backsliding <7728 showbeb > 
daughter <1323 bath >? for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath created 
<1254 bara> > a new <2319 chadash > thing in the earth <0776

man <1397 geber >.



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

<3478 Yisra>el >; As yet <5750 <owd > they shall use <0559 >amar

thereof, when I shall bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > 
their captivity <7622 sh@buwth >; The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bless 
<1288 barak > thee, O habitation <5116 naveh > of justice <6664 
tsedeq >, [and] mountain <2022 har > of holiness <6944 qodesh >.



 24 And there shall dwell <3427 yashab > in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

together <3162 yachad >, husbandmen <0406 >ikkar >, and they 
[that] go <5265 naca< > forth <5265 naca< > with flocks <5739 
<eder >.



 25 For I have satiated <7301 ravah > the weary <5889 <ayeph > 
soul <5315 nephesh >, and I have replenished <4390 male> > every 
<3605 kol > sorrowful <1669 da>ab > soul <5315 nephesh >.



 26 Upon this <2063 zo>th > I awaked <6974 quwts >, and beheld 
<7200 ra>ah >; and my sleep <8142 shehah > was sweet <6147 <Er > 
unto me.



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

will sow <2232 zara< > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478

seed <2233 zera< > of beast <0929 b@hemah >.



 28 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] like as I 
have watched <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al > them, to pluck 
<5428 nathash > up, and to break <5422 nathats > down <5422

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

 30 But every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > shall die <4191

 31 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

 32 Not according to the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I made

[that] I took <2388 chazaq > them by the hand <3027 yad > to

 33 But this <2063 zo>th > [shall be] the covenant <1285 b@riyth

they shall be my people <5971 <am >.



 34 And they shall teach <3925 lamad > no <3808 lo> > more <5750

every man <0376 >iysh > his brother <0251 >ach >, saying <0559

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

Jeremiah 32



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the tenth 
<6224 <asiyriy > year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah 
> king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <1958 hiy 
> [was] the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar 
<5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >.



 2 For then <0227 >az > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's 
<0894 Babel > army <2428 chayil > besieged <6696 tsuwr > 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > 
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > was shut <3607 kala> > up in the 
court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >, which 
<0834 >aher > [was] in the king <4428 melek > of Judah's <3063 
Y@huwdah > house <1004 bayith >.



 3 For Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > had shut <3607 kala> > him up, saying <0559 
>amar >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > dost thou prophesy <5012 
naba> >, and say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will 
give <5414 nathan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > into 
the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel >, and he shall take <3920 lakad > it;



 4 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > shall not escape <4422 malat > out of the hand 
<3027 yad > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, but shall surely be 
delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king 
<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and shall speak <1696 
dabar > with him mouth <6310 peh > to mouth <6310 peh >, and his 
eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > his eyes <5869 
<ayin >;



 5 And he shall lead <3212 yalak > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > to 
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and there <8033 sham > shall he be until 
<5704 <ad > I visit <6485 paqad > him, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: though <3588 kiy > ye fight <3898 lacham > 
with the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, ye shall not prosper <6743 
tsalach >.



 6 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, The word 
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > 
unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



 7 Behold <2009 hinneh >, Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > the son 
<1121 ben > of Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > thine uncle <1730 dowd > 
shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee, saying <0559 >amar >, Buy 
<7069 qanah > thee my field <7704 sadeh > that [is] in Anathoth 
<6068 <Anathowth >: for the right <4941 mishpat > of redemption 
<1353 g@ullah > [is] thine to buy <7069 qanah > [it].



 8 So Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > son 
<1121 ben > came <0935 bow> > to me in the court <2691 chatser > 
of the prison <4307 mattara> > according to the word <1697 dabar 
> of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and said <0559 >amar > unto me, 
Buy <7069 qanah > my field <7704 sadeh >, I pray <4994 na> > 
thee, that [is] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, which <0834 
>aher > [is] in the country <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 
Binyamiyn >: for the right <4941 mishpat > of inheritance <3425 
y@rushah > [is] thine, and the redemption <1353 g@ullah > [is] 
thine; buy <7069 qanah > [it] for thyself. Then I knew <3045 
yada< > that this <1931 huw> > [was] the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 9 And I bought <7069 qanah > the field <7704 sadeh > of 
Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > my uncle's <1733 dowdah > son <1121 
ben >, that [was] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, and weighed 
<8254 shaqal > him the money <3701 keceph >, [even] seventeen 
<7651 sheba< > shekels <8255 sheqel > of silver <3701 keceph >.



 10 And I subscribed <3789 kathab > the evidence <5612 cepher >, 
and sealed <2856 chatham > [it], and took witnesses <5707 <ed >, 
and weighed <8254 shaqal > [him] the money <3701 keceph > in the 
balances <3976 mo>zen >.



 11 So I took <3947 laqach > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the 
purchase <4736 miqnah >, [both] that which was sealed <2856 
chatham > [according] to the law <4687 mitsvah > and custom 
<2706 choq >, and that which was open <1540 galah >:



 12 And I gave <5414 nathan > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the 
purchase <4736 miqnah > unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 
ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah 
<4271 Machceyah >, in the sight <5869 <ayin > of Hanameel <2601 
Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > [son], and in the 
presence <5869 <ayin > of the witnesses <5707 <ed > that 
subscribed <3789 kathab > the book <5612 cepher > of the 
purchase <4736 miqnah >, before <5869 <ayin > all <3605 kol > 
the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that sat <3427 yashab > in the court 
<2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.



 13 And I charged <6680 tsavah > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > before 
<5869 <ayin > them, saying <0559 >amar >,



 14 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >; Take <3947 laqach > these <0428 >el-leh > 
evidences <5612 cepher >, this <2088 zeh > evidence <5612 cepher

chatham >, and this <2088 zeh > evidence <5612 cepher > which is 
open <1540 galah >; and put <5414 nathan > them in an earthen 
<2789 cheres > vessel <3627 k@liy >, that they may continue 
<5975 <amad > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm >.



 15 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Houses <1004 bayith > and fields <7704 
sadeh > and vineyards <3754 kerem > shall be possessed <7069 
qanah > again <5750 <owd > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 
>erets >.



 16. Now when I had delivered <5414 nathan > the evidence <5612 
cepher > of the purchase <4736 miqnah > unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk 
> the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >, I prayed <6419 
palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 17 Ah <0162 >ahahh > Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! 
behold <2009 hinneh >, thou hast made <6213 <asah > the heaven

gadowl > power <3581 koach > and stretched <5186 natah > out arm 
<2220 z@rowa< >, [and] there is nothing too hard <6381 pala> > 
for thee:



 18 Thou shewest <6213 <asah > lovingkindness <2617 checed > 
unto thousands <0505 >eleph >, and recompensest <7999 shalam > 
the iniquity <5771 <avon > of the fathers <1> into <0413 >el > 
the bosom <2436 cheyq > of their children <1121 ben > after 
<0310 >achar > them: the Great <1419 gadowl >, the Mighty <1368 
gibbowr > God <0410 >el >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> >, [is] his name <8034 shem >,



 19 Great <1419 gadowl > in counsel <6098 <etsah >, and mighty 
<7227 rab > in work <5950 <aliyliyah >: for thine eyes <5869 
<ayin > [are] open <6491 paqach > upon all <3605 kol > the ways 
<1870 derek > of the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam >: to 
give <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > 
according to his ways <1870 derek >, and according to the fruit 
<6529 p@riy > of his doings <4611 ma<alal >:



 20 Which <0834 >aher > hast set <7760 suwm > signs <0226 >owth

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, [even] unto this <2088 zeh > day <3119 
yowmam >, and in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and among [other] men 
<0120 >adam >; and hast made <6213 <asah > thee a name <8034 
shem >, as at <5704 <ad > this <2088 zeh > day <3119 yowmam >;



 21 And hast brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > thy 
people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of the land <0776 
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with signs <0226 >owth >, 
and with wonders <4159 mowpheth >, and with a strong <2389 
chazaq > hand <3027 yad >, and with a stretched <5186 natah > 
out arm <0248 >ezrowa< >, and with great <1419 gadowl > terror 
<4172 mowra> >;



 22 And hast given <5414 nathan > them this <2063 zo>th > land 
<0776 >erets >, which <0834 >aher > thou didst swear <7650 
shaba< > to their fathers <1> to give <5414 nathan > them, a 
land <0776 >erets > flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab

 23 And they came <0935 bow> > in, and possessed <3423 yarash > 
it; but they obeyed <8085 shama< > not thy voice <6963 qowl >, 
neither <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > in thy law <8451 towrah

kol > that thou commandedst <6680 tsavah > them to do <6213 
<asah >: therefore thou hast caused all <3605 kol > this <2063 
zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > to come <7122 qara> > upon them:



 24 Behold <2009 hinneh > the mounts <5550 col@lah >, they are 
come <0935 bow> > unto the city <5892 <iyr > to take <3920 lakad

hand <3027 yad > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, that fight 
<3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > it, because <6440 paniym > of 
the sword <2719 chereb >, and of the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and 
of the pestilence <1698 deber >: and what <0834 >aher > thou 
hast spoken <1696 dabar > is come <1961 hayah > to pass; and, 
behold <2009 hinneh >, thou seest <7200 ra>ah > [it].



 25 And thou hast said <0559 >amar > unto me, O Lord <0136 
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >, Buy <7069 qanah > thee the field 
<7704 sadeh > for money <3701 keceph >, and take <5749 <uwd > 
witnesses <5707 <ed >; for the city <5892 <iyr > is given <5414 
nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy

 26. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 27 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the 
God <0430 >elohiym > of all <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar >: is 
there any <3605 kol > thing <1697 dabar > too hard <6381 pala> > 
for me?



 28 Therefore thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will give <5414 nathan > 
this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > into the hand <3027 yad > 
of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and into the hand <3027 yad > 
of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and he shall take <3920 lakad > it:



 29 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, that fight <3898 lacham > 
against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, shall 
come <0935 bow> > and set fire <0784 >esh > on this <2063 zo>th

<1004 bayith >, upon whose <0834 >aher > roofs <1406 gag > they 
have offered <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 
Ba<al >, and poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > 
offerings unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, to 
provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >.



 30 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and 
the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have only 
<0389 >ak > done <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > before <5869 
<ayin > me from their youth <5271 na<uwr >: for the children 
<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have only <0389 >ak > 
provoked me to anger <3707 ka<ac > with the work <4639 ma<aseh > 
of their hands <3027 yad >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 31 For this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > hath been <1961 
hayah > to me [as] a provocation <3708 ka<ac > of mine anger 
<0639 >aph > and of my fury <2534 chemah > from the day <3119 
yowmam > that they built <1129 banah > it even unto this <2088 
zeh > day <3119 yowmam >; that I should remove <5493 cuwr > it 
from before <5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym >,



 32 Because <5921 <al > of all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > 
of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and of 
the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <0834 
>aher > they have done <6213 <asah > to provoke me to anger 
<3707 ka<ac >, they, their kings <4428 melek >, their princes 
<8269 sar >, their priests <3548 kohen >, and their prophets 
<5030 nabiy> >, and the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 33 And they have turned <6437 panah > unto me the back <6203 
<oreph >, and not the face <6440 paniym >: though I taught <3925 
lamad > them, rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and 
teaching <3925 lamad > [them], yet they have not hearkened <8085 
shama< > to receive <3947 laqach > instruction <4148 muwcar >.



 34 But they set <7760 suwm > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts

<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >, to defile <2930 tame> > 
it.



 35 And they built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah > places 
of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher > [are] in the valley 
<1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011 Hinnom >, to 
cause <4616 ma<an > their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters 
<1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through [the fire <0784 >esh

<6680 tsavah > them not, neither <3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah > 
it into <5921 <al > my mind <3820 leb >, that they should do 
<6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >, 
to cause Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > to sin <2398 chata> >.



 36 And now <6258 <attah > therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh

this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, whereof <0834 >aher > ye 
say <0559 >amar >, It shall be delivered <5414 nathan > into the 
hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel > by the sword <2719 chereb >, and by the famine <7458 
ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >;



 37 Behold <2005 hen >, I will gather <6908 qabats > them out of 
all <3605 kol > countries <0776 >erets >, whither I have driven 
<5080 nadach > them in mine anger <0639 >aph >, and in my fury 
<2534 chemah >, and in great <1419 gadowl > wrath <7110 qetseph

this place <4725 maqowm >, and I will cause them to dwell <3427 
yashab > safely <0983 betach >:



 38 And they shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be their 
God <0430 >elohiym >:



 39 And I will give <5414 nathan > them one <0259 >echad > heart 
<3820 leb >, and one <0259 >echad > way <1870 derek >, that they 
may fear <3372 yare> > me for ever, for the good <2896 towb > of 
them, and of their children <1121 ben > after <0310 >achar > 
them:



 40 And I will make <3772 karath > an everlasting <5769 <owlam > 
covenant <1285 b@riyth > with them, that I will not turn <7725 
shuwb > away from them, to do them good <3190 yatab >; but I 
will put <5414 nathan > my fear <3374 yir>ah > in their hearts 
<3824 lebab >, that they shall not depart <5493 cuwr > from me.



 41 Yea, I will rejoice <7797 suws > over <5921 <al > them to do 
them good <2895 towb >, and I will plant <5193 nata< > them in 
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > assuredly <0571 >emeth > 
with my whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb > and with my whole 
<3605 kol > soul <5315 nephesh >.



 42 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; Like as I have brought <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > 
this <2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > upon 
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, so <3651 ken > will I bring 
<0935 bow> > upon them all <3605 kol > the good <2896 towb > 
that I have promised <1696 dabar > them.



 43 And fields <7704 sadeh > shall be bought <7069 qanah > in 
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, whereof <0834 >aher > ye 
say <0559 >amar >, [It is] desolate <8077 sh@mamah > without

given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the Chaldeans 
<3778 Kasdiy >.



 44 Men shall buy <7069 qanah > fields <7704 sadeh > for money 
<3701 keceph >, and subscribe <3789 kathab > evidences <5612 
cepher >, and seal <2856 chatham > [them], and take <5749 <uwd >

Jeremiah 33



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

 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
the maker <6213 <asah > thereof, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that 
formed <3335 yatsar > it, to establish <3559 kuwn > it; the LORD

 3 Call <7121 qara> > unto me, and I will answer <6030 <anah > 
thee, and shew <5046 nagad > thee great <1419 gadowl > and 
mighty <1219 batsar > things, which thou knowest <3045 yada< > 
not.



 4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, 
concerning <5921 <al > the houses <1004 bayith > of this <2063

 5 They come <0935 bow> > to fight <3898 lacham > with the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, but [it is] to fill <4390 male> > them 
with the dead <6297 peger > bodies <6297 peger > of men <0120

 6 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <4608 ma<aleh > it health

abundance <6283 <athereth > of peace <7965 shalowm > and truth 
<0571 >emeth >.



 7 And I will cause the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > and the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > to return <7725 shuwb >, and will build <1129

 8 And I will cleanse <2891 taher > them from all <3605 kol > 
their iniquity <5771 <avon >, whereby <0834 >aher > they have

 9 And it shall be to me a name <8034 shem > of joy <8342 sasown

before all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth

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

inhabitant <3427 yashab >, and without <0369 >ayin > beast <0929

 11 The voice <6963 qowl > of joy <8342 sasown >, and the voice 
<6963 qowl > of gladness <8057 simchah >, the voice <6963 qowl > 
of the bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of 
the bride <3618 kallah >, the voice <6963 qowl > of them that 
shall say <0559 >amar >, Praise <3034 yadah > the LORD <3068

[is] good <2896 towb >; for his mercy <2617 checed > [endureth] 
for ever <5769 <owlam >: [and] of them that shall bring <0935

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. For I will cause to 
return <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of the land 
<0776 >erets >, as at the first <7223 ri>shown >, saith <0559

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

habitation <5116 naveh > of shepherds <7462 ra<ah > causing 
[their] flocks <6629 tso>n > to lie <7257 rabats > down <7901 
shakab >.



 13 In the cities <5892 <iyr > of the mountains <2022 har >, in 
the cities <5892 <iyr > of the vale <8219 sh@phelah >, and in 
the cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb >, and in the 
land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >, and in the 
places about <5439 cabiyb > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and 
in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, shall the

<5921 <al > the hands <3027 yad > of him that telleth <4487 
manah > [them], saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 14 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

perform <6965 quwm > that good <2896 towb > thing <1697 dabar > 
which <0834 >aher > I have promised <1696 dabar > unto the house 
<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and to the house <1004 
bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 15 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and at that time 
<6256 <eth >, will I cause the Branch <6780 tsemach > of 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > to grow <6779 tsamach > up unto 
David <1732 David >; and he shall execute <6213 <asah > judgment 
<4941 mishpat > and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > in the land 
<0776 >erets >.



 16 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > shall Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > be saved <3467 yasha< >, and Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > shall dwell <7931 shakan > safely <0983 betach >: 
and this <2088 zeh > [is the name] wherewith <0834 >aher > she 
shall be called <7121 qara> >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our 
righteousness <6664 tsedeq >.



 17. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; David <1732 David > shall never <3808 lo> > want 
<3772 karath > a man <0376 >iysh > to sit <3427 yashab > upon 
the throne <3678 kicce> > of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >;



 18 Neither <3808 lo> > shall the priests <3548 kohen > the 
Levites <3881 Leviyiy > want <3772 karath > a man <0376 >iysh > 
before <6440 paniym > me to offer <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 
<olah > offerings, and to kindle <6999 qatar > meat offerings 
<4503 minchah >, and to do <6213 <asah > sacrifice <2077 zebach

 19 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar

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

b@riyth > of the day <3117 yowm >, and my covenant <1285 b@riyth

<3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil > in their season <6256 
<eth >;



 21 [Then] may also <1571 gam > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > be 
broken <6565 parar > with David <1732 David > my servant <5650 
<ebed >, that he should not have <1961 hayah > a son <1121 ben > 
to reign <4427 malak > upon his throne <3678 kicce> >; and with 
the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > the priests <3548 kohen >, my 
ministers <8334 sharath >.



 22 As the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > cannot 
<3808 lo> > be numbered <5608 caphar >, neither <3808 lo> > the 
sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > measured <4058 madad >:
 so <3651 ken > will I multiply <7235 rabah > the seed <2233 
zera< > of David <1732 David > my servant <5650 <ebed >, and the 
Levites <3881 Leviyiy > that minister <8334 sharath > unto me.



 23 Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 24 Considerest <7200 ra>ah > thou not what <4100 mah > this 
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > have spoken <1696 dabar >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, The two <8147 sh@nayim > families <4940 
mishpachah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath 
chosen <0977 bachar >, he hath even cast <3988 ma>ac > them off? 
thus they have despised <5006 na>ats > my people <5971 <am >, 
that they should be no more <5750 <owd > a nation <1471 gowy > 
before <6440 paniym > them.



 25 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
>; If <0518 >im > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > [be] not with day 
<3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil >, [and if] I have not 
appointed <7760 suwm > the ordinances <2708 chuqqah > of heaven 
<8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >;



 26 Then <1571 gam > will I cast <3988 ma>ac > away the seed 
<2233 zera< > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and David <1732 David > 
my servant <5650 <ebed >, [so] that I will not take <3947 laqach

over <0413 >el > the seed <2233 zera< > of Abraham <85>, Isaac 
<3446 Yischaq >, and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >: for I will cause 
their captivity <7622 sh@buwth > to return <7725 shuwb >, and 
have mercy <7355 racham > on them.



Jeremiah 34



 1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah 
> unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
when Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and all <3605 kol > his army <2428 
chayil >, and all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of 
the earth <0776 >erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >, and 
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, fought <3898 lacham > 
against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against 
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Go <1980 
halak > and speak <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and tell <0559 
>amar > him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will give <5414 nathan > this 
<2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > into the hand <3027 yad > of the 
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and he shall burn 
<8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >:



 3 And thou shalt not escape <4422 malat > out of his hand <3027 
yad >, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > be taken <8610 taphas >, and 
delivered <5414 nathan > into his hand <3027 yad >; and thine 
eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > the eyes <5869 
<ayin > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and 
he shall speak <1696 dabar > with thee mouth <6310 peh > to 
mouth <6310 peh >, and thou shalt go <0935 bow> > to Babylon 
<0894 Babel >.



 4 Yet <0389 >ak > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, O Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of thee, Thou shalt not 
die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >:



 5 [But] thou shalt die <4191 muwth > in peace <7965 shalowm >: 
and with the burnings <4955 misraphah > of thy fathers <1>, the 
former <7223 ri>shown > kings <4428 melek > which <0834 >aher > 
were before <6440 paniym > thee, so <3651 ken > shall they burn 
<8313 saraph > [odours] for thee; and they will lament <5594 
caphad > thee, [saying], Ah <1945 howy > lord <0113 >adown >! 
for I have pronounced <1696 dabar > the word <1697 dabar >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 6 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > 
spake <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words 
<1697 dabar > unto Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,



 7 When the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army 
<2428 chayil > fought <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against <5921 <al > all 
<3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > 
that were left <3498 yathar >, against <0413 >el > Lachish <3923 
Lachiysh >, and against <0413 >el > Azekah <5825 <Azeqah >: for 
these <2007 hennah > defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr 
> remained <7604 sha>ar > of the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah >.



 8. [This is] the word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > 
unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
after <0310 >achar > that the king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 
Tsidqiyah > had made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > 
with all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher > 
[were] at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, to proclaim <7121 
qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr > unto them;



 9 That every man <0376 >iysh > should let his manservant <5650 
<ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198 
shiphchah >, [being] an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > or an Hebrewess 
<5680 <Ibriy >, go <7971 shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >; that 
none <1115 biltiy > should serve <5647 <abad > himself of them, 
[to wit], of a Jew <3064 Y@huwdiy > his brother <0251 >ach >.



 10 Now when all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar >, and all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > had 
entered <0935 bow> > into the covenant <1285 b@riyth >, heard 
<8085 shama< > that every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > should 
let his manservant <5650 <ebed >, and every <0376 >iysh > one 
<0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198 shiphchah >, go <7971 
shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >, that none <1115 biltiy > 
should serve <5647 <abad > themselves of them any more <5750 
<owd >, then they obeyed <8085 shama< >, and let [them] go <7971 
shalach >.



 11 But afterward they turned <7725 shuwb >, and caused the 
servants <5650 <ebed > and the handmaids <8198 shiphchah >, whom 
<0834 >aher > they had let go <7971 shalach > free <2670 
chophshiy >, to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought <3533 kabash > 
them into subjection <3533 kabash > for servants <5650 <ebed > 
and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.



 12 Therefore the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
>, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; I made 
<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with your fathers <1> 
in the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth 
<3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >, out of the house <1004 bayith > of bondmen <5650 
<ebed >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 14 At the end <7093 qets > of seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141 
shaneh > let ye go <7971 shalach > every man <0376 >iysh > his 
brother <0251 >ach > an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy >, which <0834 >aher

he hath served <5647 <abad > thee six <8337 shesh > years <8141 
shaneh >, thou shalt let him go <7971 shalach > free <2670 
chophshiy > from thee: but your fathers <1> hearkened <8085 
shama< > not unto me, neither <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > 
their ear <0241 >ozen >.



 15 And ye were now <3117 yowm > turned <7725 shuwb >, and had 
done <6213 <asah > right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869 <ayin

<0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >; and ye had made 
<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > before <6440 paniym > 
me in the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called 
<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >:



 16 But ye turned <7725 shuwb > and polluted <2490 chalal > my 
name <8034 shem >, and caused every man <0376 >iysh > his 
servant <5650 <ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his handmaid 
<8198 shiphchah >, whom <0834 >aher > ye had set <7971 shalach > 
at liberty <2670 chophshiy > at their pleasure <5315 nephesh >, 
to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought <3533 kabash > them into 
subjection <3533 kabash >, to be unto you for servants <5650 
<ebed > and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.



 17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< > 
unto me, in proclaiming <7121 qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr >, 
every one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach >, and every 
man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >: behold <2005 
hen >, I proclaim <7121 qara> > a liberty <1865 d@rowr > for you,
 saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to the sword 
<2719 chereb >, to the pestilence <1698 deber >, and to the 
famine <7458 ra<ab >; and I will make <5414 nathan > you to be 
removed <2189 za<avah > into all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467

 18 And I will give <5414 nathan > the men <0582 >enowsh > that 
have transgressed <5674 <abar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth >,

 19 The princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the

which passed <5674 <abar > between <0996 beyn > the parts <1335

 20 I will even give <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad

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

Jeremiah 35



 1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah 
> unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
in the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the 
son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Go <1980 halak > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the 
Rechabites <7397 Rekah >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them, and 
bring <0935 bow> > them into the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, into <0413 >el > one <0259 >echad > of the 
chambers <3957 lishkah >, and give them wine <3196 yayin > to 
drink <8248 shaqah >.



 3 Then I took <3947 laqach > Jaazaniah <2970 Ya>azanyah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, the son <1121 ben 
> of Habaziniah <2262 Chabatstsanyah >, and his brethren <0251 
>ach >, and all <3605 kol > his sons <1121 ben >, and the whole 
<3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of the Rechabites <7397 Rekah >;



 4 And I brought <0935 bow> > them into the house <1004 bayith > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, into <0413 >el > the chamber <3957 
lishkah > of the sons <1121 ben > of Hanan <2605 Chanan >, the 
son <1121 ben > of Igdaliah <3012 Yigdalyahuw >, a man <0376 
>iysh > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which <0834 >aher > [was] by 
the chamber <2315 cheder > of the princes <8269 sar >, which 
<0834 >aher > [was] above <4605 ma<al > the chamber <3957 
lishkah > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Shallum <7967 Shalluwm >, the keeper <8104 shamar > of the door 
<5592 caph >:



 5 And I set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > the sons <1121 
ben > of the house <1004 bayith > of the Rechabites <7397 Rekah 
> pots <1375 g@biya< > full <4392 male> > of wine <3196 yayin >, 
and cups <3563 kowc >, and I said <0559 >amar > unto them, Drink 
<8354 shathah > ye wine <3196 yayin >.



 6 But they said <0559 >amar >, We will drink <8354 shathah > no 
<3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin >: for Jonadab <3122 Yawnadab > the 
son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > our father <1> commanded 
<6680 tsavah > us, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall drink <8354 
shathah > no <3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin >, [neither ye], nor 
your sons <1121 ben > for ever <5769 <owlam >:



 7 Neither <3808 lo> > shall ye build <1129 banah > house <1004 
bayith >, nor <3808 lo> > sow <2232 zara< > seed <2233 zera< >, 
nor <3808 lo> > plant <5193 nata< > vineyard <3754 kerem >, nor 
<3808 lo> > have [any]: but all <3605 kol > your days <3117 yowm

may live <2421 chayah > many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > in 
the land <0127 >adamah > where ye [be] strangers <1481 guwr >.



 8 Thus have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of 
Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 
Rekab > our father <1> in all <3605 kol > that he hath charged 
<6680 tsavah > us, to drink <8354 shathah > no <1115 biltiy > 
wine <3196 yayin > all <3605 kol > our days <3117 yowm >, we, 
our wives <0802 >ishshah >, our sons <1121 ben >, nor our 
daughters <1121 ben >;



 9 Nor <1115 biltiy > to build <1129 banah > houses <1004 bayith 
> for us to dwell <3427 yashab > in: neither <3808 lo> > have 
<1961 hayah > we vineyard <3754 kerem >, nor field <7704 sadeh >,
 nor seed <2233 zera< >:



 10 But we have dwelt <3427 yashab > in tents <0168 >ohel >, and 
have obeyed <8085 shama< >, and done <6213 <asah > according to 
all <3605 kol > that Jonadab <3122 Yawnadab > our father <1> 
commanded <6680 tsavah > us.



 11 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
came <5927 <alah > up into <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets >, 
that we said <0559 >amar >, Come <0935 bow> >, and let us go 
<0935 bow> > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > for fear <6440 
paniym > of the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778 
Kasdiy >, and for fear <6440 paniym > of the army <2428 chayil > 
of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >: so we dwell <3427 yashab > at 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 12. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 
>amar >,



 13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah 
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >; Go <1980 halak > and tell <0559 >amar > the 
men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and the inhabitants 
<3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, Will ye not 
receive <3947 laqach > instruction <4148 muwcar > to hearken 
<8085 shama< > to my words <1697 dabar >? saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 14 The words <1697 dabar > of Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the 
son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >, that he commanded <6680 
tsavah > his sons <1121 ben > not to drink <8354 shathah > wine 
<3196 yayin >, are performed <6965 quwm >; for unto this <2088 
zeh > day <3117 yowm > they drink <8354 shathah > none <3808 lo>

mitsvah >: notwithstanding I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto you, 
rising <7925 shakam > early <7925 shakam > and speaking <1696 
dabar >; but ye hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto me.



 15 I have sent <7971 shalach > also unto you all <3605 kol > my 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, rising <7925 
shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach > 
[them], saying <0559 >amar >, Return <7725 shuwb > ye now <4994 
na> > every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way 
<1870 derek >, and amend <3190 yatab > your doings <4611 ma<alal

ye shall dwell <3427 yashab > in the land <0127 >adamah > which 
<0834 >aher > I have given <5414 nathan > to you and to your 
fathers <1>: but ye have not inclined <5186 natah > your ear 
<0241 >ozen >, nor <3808 lo> > hearkened <8085 shama< > unto me.



 16 Because <3588 kiy > the sons <1121 ben > of Jonadab <3082 
Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > have 
performed <6965 quwm > the commandment <4687 mitsvah > of their 
father <1>, which <0834 >aher > he commanded <6680 tsavah > them;
 but this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath not hearkened 
<8085 shama< > unto me:



 17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 
tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; 
Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > upon Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > and upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab 
> of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > all <3605 kol > the evil 
<7451 ra< > that I have pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 
<al > them: because <3282 ya<an > I have spoken <1696 dabar > 
unto them, but they have not heard <8085 shama< >; and I have 
called <7121 qara> > unto them, but they have not answered <6030 
<anah >.



 18 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
house <1004 bayith > of the Rechabites <7397 Rekah >, Thus <3541 
koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >; Because ye have obeyed <8085 shama< > the 
commandment <4687 mitsvah > of Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > your 
father <1>, and kept <8104 shamar > all <3605 kol > his precepts 
<4687 mitsvah >, and done <6213 <asah > according unto all <3605 
kol > that he hath commanded <6680 tsavah > you:



 19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Jonadab <3122 Yawnadab > 
the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > shall not want <3772 
karath > a man <0376 >iysh > to stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 
paniym > me for ever.



Jeremiah 36



 1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth <7243 
r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > 
the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek

dabar > came <1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Take <3947 laqach > thee a roll <4039 m@gillah > of a book 
<5612 cepher >, and write <3789 kathab > therein <0413 >el > all 
<3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that I have spoken <1696

and against <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and against 
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy >, from the 
day <3117 yowm > I spake <1696 dabar > unto thee, from the days 
<3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah >, even unto this <2088 
zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 3 It may be that the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > will hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the evil 
<7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > I purpose <2803 chashab > to do 
<6213 <asah > unto them; that they may return <7725 shuwb > 
every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 
derek >; that I may forgive <5545 calach > their iniquity <5771 
<avon > and their sin <2403 chatta>ah >.



 4 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > called <7121 qara> > Baruch 
<1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >: 
and Baruch <1263 Baruwk > wrote <3789 kathab > from the mouth

words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834

m@gillah > of a book <5612 cepher >.



 5 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > commanded <6680 tsavah > Baruch 
<1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, I [am] shut <6113 <atsar > 
up; I cannot go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:



 6 Therefore go <0935 bow> > thou, and read <7121 qara> > in the 
roll <4039 m@gillah >, which <0834 >aher > thou hast written 
<3789 kathab > from my mouth <6310 peh >, the words <1697 dabar

people <5971 <am > in the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 
bayith > upon the fasting <6685 tsowm > day <3117 yowm >: and 
also <1571 gam > thou shalt read <7121 qara> > them in the ears 
<0241 >ozen > of all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > that 
come <0935 bow> > out of their cities <5892 <iyr >.



 7 It may be they will present <5307 naphal > their supplication 
<8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 and will return <7725 shuwb > every <0376 >iysh > one from his 
evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >: for great <1419 gadowl > 
[is] the anger <0639 >aph > and the fury <2534 chemah > that the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath pronounced <1696 dabar > against <0413

 8 And Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 
Neriyah > did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > that 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded 
<6680 tsavah > him, reading <7121 qara> > in the book <5612 
cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in 
the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >.



 9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549 
chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym

Y@ruwshalaim >, and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > 
that came <0935 bow> > from the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 10 Then read <7121 qara> > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > in the book 
<5612 cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > the scribe <5608 
caphar >, in the higher <5945 >elyown > court <2691 chatser >, 
at the entry <6607 pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate 
<8179 sha<ar > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith

 11 When Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son <1121 ben > of 
Gemariah <1587 G@maryah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 
shaphan >, had heard <8085 shama< > out of the book <5612 cepher

Y@hovah >,



 12 Then he went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into the 
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, into <5921 <al > the 
scribe's <5608 caphar > chamber <3957 lishkah >: and, lo <2009 
hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sat <3427 
yashab > there <8033 sham >, [even] Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< > 
the scribe <5608 caphar >, and Delaiah <1806 D@layah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah >, and Elnathan <0494 
>Elnathan > the son <1121 ben > of Achbor <5907 <Akbowr >, and 
Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 
shaphan >, and Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, and all <3605 kol > the princes 
<8269 sar >.



 13 Then Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > declared <5046 nagad > unto 
them all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that he had heard 
<8085 shama< >, when Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read <7121 qara> > 
the book <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people 
<5971 <am >.



 14 Therefore all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sent <7971 
shalach > Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah 
<8018 Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Cushi <3569 Kuwshiy >, 
unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 
laqach > in thine hand <3027 yad > the roll <4039 m@gillah > 
wherein <0834 >aher > thou hast read <7121 qara> > in the ears

So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 
Neriyah > took <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah > in his 
hand <3027 yad >, and came <0935 bow> > unto them.



 15 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Sit <3427 yashab > 
down now <4994 na> >, and read <7121 qara> > it in our ears 
<0241 >ozen >. So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read <7121 qara> > [it] 
in their ears <0241 >ozen >.



 16 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they had heard <8085 
shama< > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar >, they were 
afraid <6342 pachad > both <0413 >el > one <0376 >iysh > and 
other <7453 rea< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto Baruch <1263 
Baruwk >, We will surely tell <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek

 17 And they asked <7592 sha>al > Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, Tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >, How <0349

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



 18 Then Baruch <1263 Baruwk > answered <0559 >amar > them, He 
pronounced <7126 qarab > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > 
words <1697 dabar > unto me with his mouth <6310 peh >, and I 
wrote <3789 kathab > [them] with ink <1773 d@yow > in the book 
<5612 cepher >.



 19 Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > unto Baruch 
<1263 Baruwk >, Go <3212 yalak >, hide <5641 cathar > thee, thou 
and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; and let no <0408 >al > man <0376 
>iysh > know <3045 yada< > where <0375 >eyphoh > ye be.



 20. And they went <0935 bow> > in to the king <4428 melek > 
into the court <2691 chatser >, but they laid <6485 paqad > up 
the roll <4039 m@gillah > in the chamber <3957 lishkah > of 
Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and told 
<5046 nagad > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > in the 
ears <0241 >ozen > of the king <4428 melek >.



 21 So the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > Jehudi <3065 
Y@huwdiy > to fetch <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah >: 
and he took <3947 laqach > it out of Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< 
> the scribe's <5608 caphar > chamber <3957 lishkah >. And 
Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > read <7121 qara> > it in the ears <0241 
>ozen > of the king <4428 melek >, and in the ears <0241 >ozen > 
of all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > which stood <5975 
<amad > beside <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek >.



 22 Now the king <4428 melek > sat <3427 yashab > in the 
winterhouse <2779 choreph > in the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > month 
<2320 chodesh >: and [there was a fire] on the hearth <0254 >ach 
> burning <1197 ba<ar > before <6440 paniym > him.



 23 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jehudi <3065 
Y@huwdiy > had read <7121 qara> > three <7969 shalowsh > or four 
<0702 >arba< > leaves <1817 deleth >, he cut <7167 qara< > it 
with the penknife <8593 ta<ar >, and cast <7933 sheken > [it] 
into <0413 >el > the fire <0784 >esh > that [was] on <0413 >el > 
the hearth <0254 >ach >, until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the 
roll <4039 m@gillah > was consumed <8552 tamam > in the fire 
<0784 >esh > that [was] on <5921 <al > the hearth <0254 >ach >.



 24 Yet they were not afraid <6342 pachad >, nor <3808 lo> > 
rent <7167 qara< > their garments <0899 beged >, [neither] the 
king <4428 melek >, nor any <3605 kol > of his servants <5650 
<ebed > that heard <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > these <0428 
>el-leh > words <1697 dabar >.



 25 Nevertheless <1571 gam > Elnathan <0494 >Elnathan > and 
Delaiah <1806 D@layah > and Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > had made 
intercession <6293 paga< > to the king <4428 melek > that he 
would not burn <8313 saraph > the roll <4039 m@gillah >: but he 
would not hear <8085 shama< > them.



 26 But the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > 
Jerahmeel <3396 Y@rachm@>el > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech 
<4429 Melek >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben > 
of Azriel <5837 <Azriy>el >, and Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Abdeel <5655 <Abd@>el >, to take <3947 laqach 
> Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the scribe <5608 caphar > and Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >: but the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > hid <5641 cathar > them.



 27 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, after <0310 >achar > 
that the king <4428 melek > had burned <8313 saraph > the roll 
<4039 m@gillah >, and the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher 
> Baruch <1263 Baruwk > wrote <3789 kathab > at the mouth <6310 
peh > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 28 Take <3947 laqach > thee again <7725 shuwb > another <0312 
>acher > roll <4039 m@gillah >, and write <3789 kathab > in it 
all <3605 kol > the former <7223 ri>shown > words <1697 dabar > 
that were in the first <7223 ri>shown > roll <4039 m@gillah >, 
which <0834 >aher > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428 
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > hath burned <8313 saraph >.



 29 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > to Jehoiakim <3079 
Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, Thus 
<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Thou 
hast burned <8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > roll <4039 
m@gillah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou 
written <3789 kathab > therein <5921 <al >, saying <0559 >amar >,
 The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall certainly 
come <0935 bow> > and destroy <7843 shachath > this <2063 zo>th 
> land <0776 >erets >, and shall cause to cease <7673 shabath > 
from thence man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah >?



 30 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; He shall have <1961 
hayah > none <3808 lo> > to sit <3427 yashab > upon the throne 
<3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David >: and his dead <5038 
n@belah > body <5038 n@belah > shall be cast <7933 sheken > out 
in the day <3117 yowm > to the heat <2721 choreb >, and in the 
night <3915 layil > to the frost <7140 qerach >.



 31 And I will punish <6485 paqad > him and his seed <2233 zera< 
> and his servants <5650 <ebed > for their iniquity <5771 <avon 
>; and I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them, and upon the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, 
and upon the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, all 
<3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have pronounced <1691 
Diblayim > against <0413 >el > them; but they hearkened <8085 
shama< > not.



 32 Then took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > another 
<0312 >acher > roll <4039 m@gillah >, and gave <5414 nathan > it 
to Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the scribe <5608 caphar >, the son 
<1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >; who wrote <3789 kathab > 
therein <5921 <al > from the mouth <6310 peh > of Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of the book 
<5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > had burned <8313 
saraph > in the fire <0784 >esh >: and there were added <3254 
yacaph > besides <5750 <owd > unto them many <7227 rab > like 
<1922 hadar > words <1697 dabar >.



Jeremiah 37



 1. And king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > reigned <4427 malak > 
instead <8478 tachath > of Coniah <3659 Konyahuw > the son <1121 
ben > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym >, whom <0834 >aher > 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > made king <4428 melek > in the land <0776 
>erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 2 But neither <3808 lo> > he, nor his servants <5650 <ebed >, 
nor the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, did 
hearken <8085 shama< > unto the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > by 
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



 3 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent 
<7971 shalach > Jehucal <3081 Y@huwkal > the son <1121 ben > of 
Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the 
son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest <3548 
kohen > to the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Pray <6419 palal > now <4994 na> > unto 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > for us.



 4 Now Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > came <0935 bow> > in and went 
<3318 yatsa> > out among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am >: 
for they had not put <5414 nathan > him into prison.



 5 Then Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil > was come 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim 
>: and when the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > that besieged <6696 
tsuwr > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > heard <8085 shama< > 
tidings <8088 shema< > of them, they departed <5927 <alah > from 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 6 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > unto the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 7 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Thus <3541 
koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that sent <7971 shalach > you unto me to 
enquire <1875 darash > of me; Behold <2005 hen >, Pharaoh's 
<6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil >, which is come <3318 yatsa> > 
forth <3318 yatsa> > to help <5833 <ezrah > you, shall return 
<7725 shuwb > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > into their own land 
<0776 >erets >.



 8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall come <7725 shuwb > 
again <7725 shuwb >, and fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al 
> this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, and take <3920 lakad > 
it, and burn <8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >.



 9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 Deceive <5377 nasha> > not yourselves <5315 nephesh >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall surely depart 
<1980 halak > from us: for they shall not depart <1980 halak >.



 10 For though <0518 >im > ye had smitten <5221 nakah > the 
whole <3605 kol > army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778 
Kasdiy > that fight <3898 lacham > against you, and there 
remained <7604 sha>ar > [but] wounded <1856 daqar > men <0582 
>enowsh > among them, [yet] should they rise <6965 quwm > up 
every man <0376 >iysh > in his tent <0168 >ohel >, and burn 
<8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > with fire 
<0784 >esh >.



 11. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, that when the army <2428 
chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > was broken <5927 <alah 
> up from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > for fear <6440 paniym > 
of Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil >,



 12 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to go <3212 
yalak > into the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn 
>, to separate <2505 chalaq > himself thence <8033 sham > in the 
midst <8432 tavek > of the people <5971 <am >.



 13 And when he was in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 
Binyamiyn >, a captain <1167 ba<al > of the ward <6488 p@qiduth 
> [was] there <8033 sham >, whose name <8034 shem > [was] Irijah 
<3376 Yir>iyayh >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah <8018 
Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >; 
and he took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou fallest <5307 naphal 
> away to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >.



 14 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, [It is] 
false <8267 sheqer >; I fall <5307 naphal > not away to the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >. But he hearkened <8085 shama< > not to 
him: so Irijah <3376 Yir>iyayh > took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah >, and brought <0935 bow> > him to the princes 
<8269 sar >.



 15 Wherefore the princes <8269 sar > were wroth <7107 qatsaph > 
with Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and smote <5221 nakah > him, and 
put <5414 nathan > him in prison <0612 >ecuwr > in the house 
<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608 
caphar >: for they had made <6213 <asah > that the prison <3608 
kele> >.



 16 When <3588 kiy > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > was entered <0935 
bow> > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr >, and into <0413 
>el > the cabins <2588 chanuwth >, and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > 
had remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > many <7227 rab > 
days <3117 yowm >;



 17 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent 
<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > him out: and the king 
<4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > him secretly <5643 cether > 
in his house <1004 bayith >, and said <0559 >amar >, Is there 
[any] word <1697 dabar > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? And 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, There is: for, 
said <0559 >amar > he, thou shalt be delivered <5414 nathan > 
into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel >.



 18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, What <4100 mah > 
have I offended <2398 chata> > against thee, or against thy 
servants <5650 <ebed >, or against this <2088 zeh > people <5971 
<am >, that ye have put <5414 nathan > me in prison?



 19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] now your prophets <5030 nabiy> > 
which <0834 >aher > prophesied <5012 naba> > unto you, saying 
<0559 >amar >, The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
shall not come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > you, nor against 
<5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >?



 20 Therefore hear <8085 shama< > now <6254 <Asht@rathiy >, I 
pray <4994 na> > thee, O my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 
melek >: let my supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, I pray <4994 na> 
> thee, be accepted <5307 naphal > before <6440 paniym > thee; 
that thou cause me not to return <7725 shuwb > to the house 
<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608 
caphar >, lest <3808 lo> > I die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham 
>.



 21 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > 
commanded <6680 tsavah > that they should commit <6458 pacal > 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > into the court <2691 chatser > of the 
prison <4307 mattara> >, and that they should give <5414 nathan 
> him daily <3117 yowm > a piece <3603 kikkar > of bread <3899 
lechem > out of the bakers <0644 >aphah >' street <2351 chuwts >,
 until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the bread <3899 lechem > in 
the city <5892 <iyr > were spent <8552 tamam >. Thus Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > remained <3427 yashab > in the court <2691 
chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.



Jeremiah 38



 1. Then Shephatiah <8203 Sh@phatyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Mattan <4977 Mattan >, and Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and Jucal <3116 Yuwkal 
> the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah >, and Pashur 
<6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Malchiah <4441 Malkiyah

<3414 Yirm@yah > had spoken <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol > 
the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 He that remaineth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >,
 by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber 
>: but he that goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall live <2421 chayah >; for he shall 
have his life <5315 nephesh > for a prey <7998 shalal >, and 
shall live <2425 chayay >.



 3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 This <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall surely be given 
<5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek 
> of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army <2428 chayil >, which shall 
take <3920 lakad > it.



 4 Therefore the princes <8269 sar > said <0559 >amar > unto the 
king <4428 melek >, We beseech <4994 na> > thee, let this <2088 
zeh > man <0376 >iysh > be put to death <4191 muwth >: for thus 
he weakeneth <7503 raphah > the hands <3027 yad > of the men 
<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > that remain <7604 
sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, and the hands 
<3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, in 
speaking <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > 
unto them: for this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > seeketh <1875 
darash > not the welfare <7965 shalowm > of this <2088 zeh > 
people <5971 <am >, but the hurt <7451 ra< >.



 5 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said 
<0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he [is] in your hand <3027 
yad >: for the king <4428 melek > [is] not [he that] can <3201 
yakol > do [any] thing <1697 dabar > against you.



 6 Then took <3947 laqach > they Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and 
cast <7933 sheken > him into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr 
> of Malchiah <4441 Malkiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech 
<4429 Melek >, that [was] in the court <2691 chatser > of the 
prison <4307 mattara> >: and they let <7971 shalach > down <7971 
shalach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > with cords <2256 chebel >. 
And in the dungeon <0953 bowr > [there was] no <0369 >ayin > 
water <4325 mayim >, but mire <2916 tiyt >: so Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > sunk <2883 taba< > in the mire <2916 tiyt >.



 7 Now when Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 
Kuwshiy >, one <0376 >iysh > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > which 
<1931 huw> > was in the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > in the dungeon <0953 bowr >; the king 
<4428 melek > then sitting <3427 yashab > in the gate <8179 
sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >;



 8 Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > went <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > out of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 
bayith >, and spake <1696 dabar > to the king <4428 melek >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 9 My lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, these <0428 
>el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh > have done evil <7489 ra<a< > in 
all <3605 kol > that they have done <6213 <asah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, whom they have cast 
<7933 sheken > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr >; and he 
is like to die <4191 muwth > for hunger <7457 ra<eb > in the 
place <8478 tachath > where <8478 tachath > he is: for [there 
is] no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > bread <3899 lechem > in 
the city <5892 <iyr >.



 10 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah > 
Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > from hence <2088 zeh > 
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > men <0582 >enowsh > with thee, and 
take <3947 laqach > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > out of the dungeon <0953 bowr >, before <2962 
terem > he die <4191 muwth >.



 11 So Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > took <3947 laqach > the 
men <0582 >enowsh > with him, and went <0935 bow> > into the 
house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > under the 
treasury <0214 >owtsar >, and took <3947 laqach > thence <8033 
sham > old <1094 b@low> > cast <5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499 
c@chabah > and old <1094 b@low> > rotten <4418 malach > rags 
<4418 malach >, and let <7971 shalach > them down <7971 shalach 
> by cords <2256 chebel > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 
bowr > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



 12 And Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 
Kuwshiy > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Put 
<7760 suwm > now <4994 na> > [these] old <1094 b@low> > cast 
<5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499 c@chabah > and rotten <4418 malach 
> rags <4418 malach > under <8478 tachath > thine armholes under 
<8478 tachath > the cords <2256 chebel >. And Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.



 13 So they drew <4900 mashak > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > 
with cords <2256 chebel >, and took <5927 <alah > him up out of 
the dungeon <0953 bowr >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > remained 
<3427 yashab > in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 
mattara> >.



 14. Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent 
<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah 
> the prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto him into <0413 >el > the third 
<7992 sh@liyshiy > entry <3996 mabow> > that [is] in the house 
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the king <4428 
melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I 
will ask <7592 sha>al > thee a thing <1697 dabar >; hide <3582 
kachad > nothing from me.



 15 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, If <0518 >im > I declare <5046 nagad 
> [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death <4191 
muwth >? and if <0518 >im > I give thee counsel <3289 ya<ats >, 
wilt thou not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me?



 16 So Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sware 
<7650 shaba< > secretly <5643 cether > unto Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
liveth <2416 chay >, that made <6213 <asah > us this <2063 zo>th 
> soul <5315 nephesh >, I will not put thee to death <4191 muwth 
>, neither <0518 >im > will I give <5414 nathan > thee into the 
hand <3027 yad > of these <0428 >el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh > 
that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.



 17 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> 
>, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; If <0518 
>im > thou wilt assuredly <3318 yatsa> > go <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > unto the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 
Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then thy soul <5315 nephesh > shall 
live <2421 chayah >, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > 
shall not be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 >esh >; and 
thou shalt live <2421 chayah >, and thine house <1004 bayith >:



 18 But if <0518 >im > thou wilt not go <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 
Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then shall this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr > be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > 
of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and they shall burn <8313 
saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >, and thou shalt not escape 
<4422 malat > out of their hand <3027 yad >.



 19 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said 
<0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I am afraid <1672 
da>ag > of the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that are fallen <5307 
naphal > to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, lest <6435 pen > they 
deliver <5414 nathan > me into their hand <3027 yad >, and they 
mock <5953 <alal > me.



 20 But Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, They shall 
not deliver <5414 nathan > [thee]. Obey <8085 shama< >, I 
beseech <4994 na> > thee, the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > I speak <1696 dabar > unto 
thee: so it shall be well <3190 yatab > unto thee, and thy soul 
<5315 nephesh > shall live <2421 chayah >.



 21 But if thou refuse <3986 ma>en > to go <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> >, this <2088 zeh > [is] the word <1697 dabar > 
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath shewed <7200 ra>ah > me:



 22 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the women <0802 
>ishshah > that are left <7604 sha>ar > in the king <4428 melek 
> of Judah's <3063 Y@huwdah > house <1004 bayith > [shall be] 
brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <4163 mowtsa>ah > to the king <4428 
melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > princes <8269 sar >, and 
those <2007 hennah > [women] shall say <0559 >amar >, Thy 
friends have set <5496 cuwth > thee on, and have prevailed <3201 
yakol > against thee: thy feet <7272 regel > are sunk <2883 
taba< > in the mire <1206 bots >, [and] they are turned <5472 
cuwg > away back <0268 >achowr >.



 23 So they shall bring <4672 matsa> > out all <3605 kol > thy 
wives <0802 >ishshah > and thy children <1121 ben > to the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: and thou shalt not escape <4422 malat 
> out of their hand <3027 yad >, but shalt be taken <8610 taphas 
> by the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel >: and thou shalt cause this <2063 zo>th > city 
<5892 <iyr > to be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 >esh >.



 24 Then said <0559 >amar > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > unto 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Let no <0408 >al > man <0376 >iysh > 
know <3045 yada< > of these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, 
and thou shalt not die <4191 muwth >.



 25 But if <3588 kiy > the princes <8269 sar > hear <8085 shama< 
> that I have talked <1696 dabar > with thee, and they come 
<0935 bow> > unto thee, and say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Declare 
<5046 nagad > unto us now <4994 na> > what <4100 mah > thou hast 
said <1696 dabar > unto the king <4428 melek >, hide <3582 
kachad > it not from us, and we will not put thee to death <4191 
muwth >; also what <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > said <1696 
dabar > unto thee:



 26 Then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, I presented 
<5307 naphal > my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 
paniym > the king <4428 melek >, that he would not cause me to 
return <7725 shuwb > to Jonathan's <3129 Yownathan > house <1004 
bayith >, to die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >.



 27 Then came <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar 
> unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and asked <7592 sha>al > him: 
and he told <5046 nagad > them according to all <3605 kol > 
these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > that the king <4428 
melek > had commanded <6680 tsavah >. So they left <2790 charash 
> off speaking <2790 charash > with him; for the matter <1697 
dabar > was not perceived <8085 shama< >.



 28 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > abode <3427 yashab > in the 
court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> > until <5704 
<ad > the day <3117 yowm > that Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
was taken <3920 lakad >: and he was [there] when <0834 >aher > 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > was taken <3920 lakad >.



Jeremiah 39



 1. In the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, in the tenth <6224 <asiyriy > month <2320 chodesh >, 
came <0935 bow> > Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king 
<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > and all <3605 kol > his 
army <2428 chayil > against <0413 >el > Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, and they besieged <6696 tsuwr > it.



 2 [And] in the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 
Tsidqiyah >, in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh 
>, the ninth <8672 tesha< > [day <3117 yowm >] of the month 
<2320 chodesh >, the city <5892 <iyr > was broken <1234 baqa< > 
up.



 3 And all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > of the king <4428 
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> > in, and sat 
<3427 yashab > in the middle <8484 tiykown > gate <8179 sha<ar >,
 [even] Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, Samgarnebo 
<5562 Camgar N@bow >, Sarsechim <8310 Sarc@kiym >, Rabsaris 
<7249 Rab-Cariyc >, Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, 
Rabmag <7248 Rab-Mag >, with all <3605 kol > the residue <7611 
sh@>eriyth > of the princes <8269 sar > of the king <4428 melek 
> of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when <0834 >aher > 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > them, and all <3605 kol > the men 
<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah >, then they fled <1272 
barach >, and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of 
the city <5892 <iyr > by night <3915 layil >, by the way <1870 
derek > of the king's <4428 melek > garden <1588 gan >, by the 
gate <8179 sha<ar > betwixt <0996 beyn > the two <8147 sh@nayim 
> walls <2346 chowmah >: and he went <3318 yatsa> > out the way 
<1870 derek > of the plain <6160 <arabah >.



 5 But the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >' army <2428 chayil > pursued 
<7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > them, and overtook <5381 
nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the plains <6160 <arabah > 
of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >: and when they had taken <3947 
laqach > him, they brought <5927 <alah > him up to 
Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776 
>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >, where he gave <1696 dabar > 
judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.



 6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew 
<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah 
> in Riblah <7247 Riblah > before his eyes <5869 <ayin >: also 
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew <7819 
shachat > all <3605 kol > the nobles <2715 chor > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >.



 7 Moreover he put <5786 <avar > out Zedekiah's eyes <5869 <ayin 
>, and bound <0631 >acar > him with chains <5178 n@chosheth >, 
to carry <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > burned <8313 saraph > the 
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and the houses <1004 
bayith > of the people <5971 <am >, with fire <0784 >esh >, and 
brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the walls <2346 
chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 9 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > 
of the guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away captive 
<1540 galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel > the remnant <3499 
yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar > 
in the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that fell <5307 naphal > 
away, that fell <5307 naphal > to him, with the rest <3499 
yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar >.



 10 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain of the 
guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > of the poor <1800 dal 
> of the people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > had nothing, in 
the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and gave 
<5414 nathan > them vineyards <3754 kerem > and fields <3010 
yageb > at the same <1931 huw> > time <3117 yowm >.



 11. Now Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > gave charge <6680 tsavah > 
concerning <5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > to Nebuzaradan 
<5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 
tabbach >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 12 Take <3947 laqach > him, and look <7760 suwm > well to him, 
and do <6213 <asah > him no <0408 >al > harm <7451 ra< >; but do 
<6213 <asah > unto him even <3651 ken > as he shall say <1696 
dabar > unto thee.



 13 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > 
of the guard <2876 tabbach > sent <7971 shalach >, and 
Nebushasban <5021 N@buwshazban >, Rabsaris <7249 Rab-Cariyc >, 
and Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, Rabmag <7248 Rab-
Mag >, and all <3605 kol > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's 
<0894 Babel > princes <7227 rab >;



 14 Even they sent <7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the court <2691 chatser > of 
the prison <4307 mattara> >, and committed <5414 nathan > him 
unto Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam 
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,
 that he should carry <3318 yatsa> > him home <1004 bayith >: so 
he dwelt <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am 
>.



 15 Now the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came 
<1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, while he was shut 
<6113 <atsar > up in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison 
<4307 mattara> >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 16 Go <1980 halak > and speak <0559 >amar > to Ebedmelech <5663 
<Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >, saying <0559 >amar 
>, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > 
my words <1697 dabar > upon this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > 
for evil <7451 ra< >, and not for good <2896 towb >; and they 
shall be [accomplished] in that day <3117 yowm > before <6440 
paniym > thee.



 17 But I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee in that day <3117 
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and thou 
shalt not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of 
the men <0582 >enowsh > of whom thou [art] afraid <3025 yagor >.



 18 For I will surely deliver <4422 malat > thee, and thou shalt 
not fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb >, but thy 
life <5315 nephesh > shall be for a prey <7998 shalal > unto 
thee: because <3588 kiy > thou hast put thy trust <0982 batach > 
in me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 40



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, after <0310 
>achar > that Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 
rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > had let him go <7971 shalach 
> from Ramah <7414 Ramah >, when he had taken <3947 laqach > him 
being bound <0631 >acar > in chains <0246 >aziqqiym > among 
<8432 tavek > all <3605 kol > that were carried <1546 galuwth > 
away captive <1546 galuwth > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > 
and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which were carried <1540 galah > 
away captive <1540 galah > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 2 And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > took 
<3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and said <0559 >amar > 
unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym > hath 
pronounced <1691 Diblayim > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > 
upon this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



 3 Now the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath brought <0935 bow> > [it], 
and done <6213 <asah > according as he hath said <1696 dabar >: 
because <3588 kiy > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > his 
voice <6963 qowl >, therefore this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar

 4 And now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, I loose <6605 
pathach > thee this day <3117 yowm > from the chains <0246 
>aziqqiym > which <0834 >aher > [were] upon thine hand <3027 yad

thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >, 
come <0935 bow> >; and I will look <7760 suwm > well unto thee: 
but if <0518 >im > it seem <5869 <ayin > ill <7489 ra<a< > unto 
thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >, 
forbear <2308 chadal >: behold <7200 ra>ah >, all <3605 kol > 
the land <0776 >erets > [is] before <6440 paniym > thee: whither 
<0413 >el > it seemeth <5869 <ayin > good <2896 towb > and 
convenient <3477 yashar > for thee to go <3212 yalak >, thither 
<8033 sham > go <3212 yalak >.



 5 Now while he was not yet <5750 <owd > gone <7725 shuwb > back 
<7725 shuwb >, [he said], Go <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > 
also to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam 
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,
 whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel > hath made governor <6485 paqad > over the cities <5892

go <3212 yalak > wheresoever it seemeth <5869 <ayin > convenient 
<3477 yashar > unto thee to go <3212 yalak >. So the captain 
<7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > gave <5414 nathan > him 
victuals <0737 >aruchah > and a reward <4864 mas>eth >, and let

 6 Then went <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto 
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296

with him among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am > that were 
left <7604 sha>ar > in the land <0776 >erets >.



 7. Now when all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of the 
forces <2428 chayil > which <0834 >aher > [were] in the fields 
<7704 sadeh >, [even] they and their men <0582 >enowsh >, heard 
<8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel > had made Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > 
of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > governor <6485 paqad > in the land

<1540 galah > to Babylon <0894 Babel >;



 8 Then they came <0935 bow> > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > to 
Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >, even Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son 
<1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and Johanan <3110 
Yowchanan > and Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the sons <1121 ben > 
of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son

N@tophathiy >, and Jezaniah <3153 Y@zanyah > the son <1121 ben > 
of a Maachathite <4602 Ma<akathiy >, they and their men <0582

 9 And Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam 
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > 
sware <7650 shaba< > unto them and to their men <0582 >enowsh >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, Fear <3372 yare> > not to serve <5647

the land <0776 >erets >, and serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428 
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and it shall be well <3190 
yatab > with you.



 10 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I will dwell <3427 yashab > 
at Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh > to serve <5975 <amad > the Chaldeans 
<3778 Kasdiy >, which <0834 >aher > will come <0935 bow> > unto 
us: but ye, gather <0622 >acaph > ye wine <3196 yayin >, and 
summer <7019 qayits > fruits, and oil <8081 shemen >, and put 
<7760 suwm > [them] in your vessels <3627 k@liy >, and dwell 
<3427 yashab > in your cities <5892 <iyr > that ye have taken 
<8610 taphas >.



 11 Likewise <1571 gam > when all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064 
Y@huwdiy > that [were] in Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and among the 
Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, and in Edom <0123 >Edom >, and that 
[were] in all <3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets >, heard 
<8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 
Babel > had left <5414 nathan > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and that he had set <6485 paqad > over

of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227

 12 Even all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > returned 
<7725 shuwb > out of all <3605 kol > places <4725 maqowm > 
whither they were driven <5080 nadach >, and came <0935 bow> > 
to the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, to 
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >, unto Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >, and 
gathered <0622 >acaph > wine <3196 yayin > and summer <7019 
qayits > fruits very <3966 m@<od > much <7335 razam >.



 13 Moreover Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of 
Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 
sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were] in the fields 
<7704 sadeh >, came <0935 bow> > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > to 
Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >,



 14 And said <0559 >amar > unto him, Dost thou certainly know 
<3045 yada< > that Baalis <1185 Ba<alic > the king <4428 melek > 
of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > hath sent <7971 shalach > 
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah

the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > believed <0539

 15 Then Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah 
<7143 Qareach > spake <0559 >amar > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > 
in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > secretly <5643 cether >, saying <0559

<5221 nakah > Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh

slay <5221 nakah > thee, that all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064

scattered <6327 puwts >, and the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > in 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > perish <6>?



 16 But Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam 
<0296 >Achiyqam > said <0559 >amar > unto Johanan <3110 
Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, Thou 
shalt not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >: 
for thou speakest <1696 dabar > falsely <8267 sheqer > of 
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l >.



Jeremiah 41



 1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seventh <7637 
sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, [that] Ishmael <3458 
Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > 
the son <1121 ben > of Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< >, of the seed 
<2233 zera< > royal <4410 m@luwkah >, and the princes <7227 rab

G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > to 
Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >; and there <8033 sham > they did <6213 
<asah > eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > together <3162 
yachad > in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.



 2 Then arose <6965 quwm > Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son 
<1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and the ten <6235 
<eser > men <0582 >enowsh > that were with him, and smote <5221 
nakah > Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam 
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > 
with the sword <2719 chereb >, and slew <4191 muwth > him, whom 
<0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
had made governor <6485 paqad > over the land <0776 >erets >.



 3 Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > also slew <5221 nakah > all <3605 
kol > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that were with him, [even] with 
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >, at Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >, and the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > that were found <4672 matsa> > there 
<8033 sham >, [and] the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 
milchamah >.



 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the second <8145 sheniy > 
day <3117 yowm > after he had slain <4191 muwth > Gedaliah <1436 
G@dalyah >, and no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > knew <3045 
yada< > [it],



 5 That there came <0935 bow> > certain <0582 >enowsh > from 
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem >, from Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and from 
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, [even] fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > 
men <0376 >iysh >, having their beards <2206 zaqan > shaven 
<1548 galach >, and their clothes <0899 beged > rent <7167 qara<

minchah > and incense <3828 l@bownah > in their hand <3027 yad >,
 to bring <0935 bow> > [them] to the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 6 And Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 
yatsa> > from Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > to meet <7125 qir>ah > them,
 weeping <1058 bakah > all along <1980 halak > as he went <1980 
halak >: and it came <1961 hayah > to pass, as he met <6298 
pagash > them, he said <0559 >amar > unto them, Come <0935 bow>

<0296 >Achiyqam >.



 7 And it was [so], when they came <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > 
the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr >, that Ishmael 
<3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 
N@thanyah > slew <7819 shachat > them, [and cast them] into 
<0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > of the pit <0953 bowr >, he, 
and the men <0582 >enowsh > that [were] with him.



 8 But ten <6235 <eser > men <0582 >enowsh > were found <4672 
matsa> > among them that said <0559 >amar > unto Ishmael <3458 
Yishma<e>l >, Slay <4191 muwth > us not: for we have <3426 yesh

<2406 chittah >, and of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and of oil <8081

chadal >, and slew <4191 muwth > them not among <8432 tavek > 
their brethren <0251 >ach >.



 9 Now the pit <0953 bowr > wherein <0834 >aher > Ishmael <3458 
Yishma<e>l > had cast <7993 shalak > all <3605 kol > the dead 
<6297 peger > bodies <6297 peger > of the men <0582 >enowsh >, 
whom <0834 >aher > he had slain <5221 nakah > because <3027 yad

<0609 >Aca> > the king <4428 melek > had made <6213 <asah > for 
fear <6440 paniym > of Baasha <1201 Ba<sha> > king <4428 melek > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: [and] Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the 
son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > filled <4390 
male> > it with [them that were] slain <2491 chalal >.



 10 Then Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > carried <7617 shabah > away 
captive <7617 shabah > all <3605 kol > the residue <7611 
sh@>eriyth > of the people <5971 <am > that [were] in Mizpah

daughters <1121 ben >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am

<0834 >aher > Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227

to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 
>Achiyqam >: and Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > 
of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > carried <7617 shabah > them away 
captive <7617 shabah >, and departed <3212 yalak > to go <5674 
<abar > over <5674 <abar > to the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >.



 11. But when Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of 
Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 
sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were] with him, heard 
<8085 shama< > of all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that 
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah 
<5418 N@thanyah > had done <6213 <asah >,



 12 Then they took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the men <0582

Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah 
<5418 N@thanyah >, and found <4672 matsa> > him by the great 
<7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > that [are] in Gibeon <1391 
Gib<own >.



 13 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when all <3605 kol

[were] with him, then they were glad <8056 sameach >.



 14 So all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that Ishmael <3458 
Yishma<e>l > had carried <7617 shabah > away captive <7617 
shabah > from Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > cast <5437 cabab > about

unto Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah 
<7143 Qareach >.



 15 But Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > escaped <4422 malat > from Johanan 
<3110 Yowchanan > with eight <8083 sh@moneh > men <0582 >enowsh

 16 Then took <3947 laqach > Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son

captains <8269 sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were]

shuwb > from Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of 
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, from Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >, after 
<0310 >achar > [that] he had slain <5221 nakah > Gedaliah <1436

 17 And they departed <3212 yalak >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > in 
the habitation <1628 geruwth > of Chimham <3643 Kimham >, which 
<0834 >aher > is by Bethlehem <1035 Beyth Lechem >, to go <3212

 18 Because <6440 paniym > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: for 
they were afraid <3372 yare> > of them, because <3588 kiy > 
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah

G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam >, whom 
<0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
made governor <6485 paqad > in the land <0776 >erets >.



Jeremiah 42



 1. Then all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of the forces

 2 And said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the

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

 5 Then they said <0559 >amar > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >,

 6 Whether <0518 >im > [it be] good <2896 towb >, or whether

<5971 <am > from the least <6996 qatan > even to the greatest 
<1419 gadowl >,



 9 And said <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, unto whom ye sent <7971 shalach > me 
to present <5307 naphal > your supplication <8467 t@chinnah > 
before <6440 paniym > him;



 10 If <0518 >im > ye will still abide <3427 yashab > in this 
<2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, then will I build <1129 banah

<5193 nata< > you, and not pluck <5428 nathash > [you] up: for I 
repent <5162 nacham > me of the evil <7451 ra< > that I have 
done <6213 <asah > unto you.



 11 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel >, of whom ye are afraid <3373 yare> >; be 
not afraid <3372 yare> > of him, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >: for I [am] with you to save <3467 yasha< > you, 
and to deliver <5337 natsal > you from his hand <3027 yad >.



 12 And I will shew <5414 nathan > mercies <7356 racham > unto 
you, that he may have mercy <7355 racham > upon you, and cause 
you to return <7725 shuwb > to your own land <0127 >adamah >.



 13 But if <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar >, We will not dwell 
<3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, 
neither <1115 biltiy > obey <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl

 14 Saying <0559 >amar >, No <3808 lo> >; but we will go <0935 
bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, 
where <0834 >aher > we shall see <7200 ra>ah > no <3808 lo> >

there <8033 sham > will we dwell <3427 yashab >:



 15 And now <6258 <attah > therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 
shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, ye 
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thus <3541

<6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >; If <0518 >im > ye wholly <7760 suwm > set <7760 suwm

<4714 Mitsrayim >, and go <0935 bow> > to sojourn <1481 guwr > 
there <8033 sham >;



 16 Then it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] the sword 
<2719 chereb >, which <0834 >aher > ye feared <3373 yare> >, 
shall overtake <5381 nasag > you there <8033 sham > in the land 
<0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and the famine <7458 
ra<ab >, whereof <0834 >aher > ye were afraid <1672 da>ag >, 
shall follow <1692 dabaq > close <1692 dabaq > after <0310 
>achar > you there <8033 sham > in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; and 
there <8033 sham > ye shall die <4191 muwth >.



 17 So shall it be with all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > 
that set <7760 suwm > their faces <6440 paniym > to go <0935 
bow> > into <0935 bow> > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn 
<1481 guwr > there <8033 sham >; they shall die <4191 muwth > by 
the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by 
the pestilence <1698 deber >: and none <3808 lo> > of them shall 
remain <8300 sariyd > or escape <6412 paliyt > from the evil 
<7451 ra< > that I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them.



 18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; As mine anger <0639 >aph > and my fury 
<2534 chemah > hath been poured <5413 nathak > forth upon the 
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; so 
<3651 ken > shall my fury <2534 chemah > be poured <5413 nathak

bow> > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >: and ye shall be an execration 
<0423 >alah >, and an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and a curse 
<7045 q@lalah >, and a reproach <2781 cherpah >; and ye shall 
see <7200 ra>ah > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > no <3808 
lo> > more <5750 <owd >.



 19 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <1696 dabar > concerning 
<5921 <al > you, O ye remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >; Go <0935 bow> > ye not into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >: 
know <3045 yada< > certainly that I have admonished <5749 <uwd > 
you this day <3117 yowm >.



 20 For ye dissembled <8582 ta<ah > in your hearts <5315 nephesh

<3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, saying <0559 >amar >, 
Pray <6419 palal > for us unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God 
<0430 >elohiym >; and according unto all <3605 kol > that the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > shall say <0559 
>amar >, so <3651 ken > declare <5046 nagad > unto us, and we 
will do <6213 <asah > [it].



 21 And [now] I have this day <3117 yowm > declared <5046 nagad

<6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym

hath sent <7971 shalach > me unto you.



 22 Now <6258 <attah > therefore know <3045 yada< > certainly 
that ye shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >, by 
the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >, 
in the place <4725 maqowm > whither ye desire <2654 chaphets > 
to go <0935 bow> > [and] to sojourn <1481 guwr >.



Jeremiah 43



 1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking <1696 
dabar > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > all <3605 
kol > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their 
God <0430 >elohiym >, for which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > had sent <7971 shalach > 
him to them, [even <0853 >eth >] all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-

 2 Then spake <0559 >amar > Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > the son 
<1121 ben > of Hoshaiah <1955 Howsha<yah >, and Johanan <3110 
Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and 
all <3605 kol > the proud <2086 zed > men <0582 >enowsh >, 
saying <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Thou 
speakest <1696 dabar > falsely <8267 sheqer >: the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > hath not sent <7971 shalach > 
thee to say <0559 >amar >, Go <0935 bow> > not into Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481 guwr > there <8033 sham >:



 3 But Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 
Neriyah > setteth <5496 cuwth > thee on against us, for to 
deliver <5414 nathan > us into the hand <3027 yad > of the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, that they might put us to death <4191 
muwth >, and carry <1540 galah > us away captives <1540 galah > 
into Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 4 So Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah 
<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of 
the forces <2428 chayil >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 
<am >, obeyed <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to dwell <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 
>erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 5 But Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah 
<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of 
the forces <2428 chayil >, took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > 
the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that 
were returned <7725 shuwb > from all <3605 kol > nations <1471 
gowy >, whither they had been driven <5080 nadach >, to dwell 
<1481 guwr > in the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

 6 [Even <0853 >eth >] men <1397 geber >, and women <0802 
>ishshah >, and children <2945 taph >, and the king's <4428 
melek > daughters <1121 ben >, and every <3605 kol > person 
<5315 nephesh > that Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the 
captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > had left <3240 
yanach > with Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of 
Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 
shaphan >, and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 
nabiy> >, and Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of 
Neriah <5374 Neriyah >.



 7 So they came <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >: for they obeyed <8085 shama< > not the 
voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: thus came <0935 
bow> > they [even] to Tahpanhes <8471 Tachpanchec >.



 8. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > in Tahpanhes 
<8471 Tachpanchec >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 9 Take <3947 laqach > great <1419 gadowl > stones <68> in thine 
hand <3027 yad >, and hide <2934 taman > them in the clay <4423

[is] at the entry <6607 pethach > of Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > 
house <1004 bayith > in Tahpanhes <8471 Tachpanchec >, in the 
sight <5869 <ayin > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3064 
Y@huwdiy >;



 10 And say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, 
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold 
<2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > and take <3947 laqach > 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > the king <4428 melek > 
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, my servant <5650 <ebed >, and will set 
<7760 suwm > his throne <3678 kicce> > upon these <0428 >el-leh

<5186 natah > his royal <8237 shaphruwr > pavilion <8237 
shaphruwr > over <5921 <al > them.



 11 And when he cometh <0935 bow> >, he shall smite <5221 nakah

deliver] such [as are] for death <4194 maveth > to death <4194

captivity <7628 sh@biy >; and such [as are] for the sword <2719 
chereb > to the sword <2719 chereb >.



 12 And I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in the 
houses <1004 bayith > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim >; and he shall burn <8313 saraph > them, and 
carry <7617 shabah > them away captives <7617 shabah >: and he 
shall array <5844 <atah > himself with the land <0776 >erets > 
of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, as a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > putteth 
<5844 <atah > on his garment <0899 beged >; and he shall go 
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > from thence <8033 sham > in 
peace <7965 shalowm >.



 13 He shall break <7665 shabar > also the images <4676 
matstsebah > of Bethshemesh <1053 Beyth Shemesh >, that [is] in 
the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; and the 
houses <1004 bayith > of the gods <0430 >elohiym > of the 
Egyptians <4714 Mitsrayim > shall he burn <8313 saraph > with 
fire <0784 >esh >.



Jeremiah 44



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah 
<3414 Yirm@yah > concerning <0413 >el > all <3605 kol > the Jews 
<3064 Y@huwdiy > which dwell <3427 yashab > in the land <0776

at Migdol <4024 Migdowl >, and at Tahpanhes <8471 Tachpanchec >, 
and at Noph <5297 Noph >, and in the country <0776 >erets > of 
Pathros <6624 Pathrowc >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el >; Ye have seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > the 
evil <7451 ra< > that I have brought <0935 bow> > upon Jerusalem 
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and upon all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 
<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; and, behold <2009 hinneh >, 
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they [are] a desolation <2723 
chorbah >, and no <0369 >ayin > man dwelleth <3427 yashab > 
therein,



 3 Because <6440 paniym > of their wickedness <7451 ra< > which 
<0834 >aher > they have committed <6213 <asah > to provoke me to 
anger <3707 ka<ac >, in that they went <3212 yalak > to burn 
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >, [and] to serve <5647 <abad

they knew <3045 yada< > not, [neither] they, ye, nor your 
fathers <1>.



 4 Howbeit I sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605 kol > my 
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, rising <7925 
shakam > early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach > [them],
 saying <0559 >amar >, Oh <4994 na> >, do <6213 <asah > not this 
<2088 zeh > abominable <8441 tow<ebah > thing <1697 dabar > that 
I hate <8130 sane> >.



 5 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> > 
inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > to turn <7725 
shuwb > from their wickedness <7451 ra< >, to burn <6999 qatar > 
no <1115 biltiy > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher

 6 Wherefore my fury <2534 chemah > and mine anger <0639 >aph > 
was poured <5413 nathak > forth, and was kindled <1197 ba<ar > 
in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and in the

they are wasted <2723 chorbah > [and] desolate <8077 sh@mamah >, 
as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 7 Therefore now <6258 <attah > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against <0413 >el > your

leave <3498 yathar > you none <1115 biltiy > to remain <7611

 8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath <3707 ka<ac > with the works 
<4639 ma<aseh > of your hands <3027 yad >, burning <6999 qatar > 
incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430

 whither ye be gone <0935 bow> > to dwell <1481 guwr >, that ye 
might cut <3772 karath > yourselves off, and that ye might be a 
curse <7045 q@lalah > and a reproach <2781 cherpah > among all 
<3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth <0776 >erets >?



 9 Have ye forgotten <7911 shakach > the wickedness <7451 ra< > 
of your fathers <1>, and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of the kings 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the wickedness 
<7451 ra< > of their wives <0802 >ishshah >, and your own 
wickedness <7451 ra< >, and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of your 
wives <0802 >ishshah >, which <0834 >aher > they have committed 
<6213 <asah > in the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

Y@ruwshalaim >?



 10 They are not humbled <1792 daka> > [even] unto this <2088

<3372 yare> >, nor <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > in my law

<5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > you and before <6440 paniym

 11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I 
will set <7760 suwm > my face <6440 paniym > against you for 
evil <7451 ra< >, and to cut <3772 karath > off all <3605 kol > 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



 12 And I will take <3947 laqach > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth

faces <6440 paniym > to go <0935 bow> > into the land <0776

there <8033 sham >, and they shall all <3605 kol > be consumed 
<8552 tamam >, [and] fall <5307 naphal > in the land <0776

consumed <8552 tamam > by the sword <2719 chereb > [and] by the 
famine <7458 ra<ab >: they shall die <4191 muwth >, from the 
least <6996 qatan > even unto the greatest <1419 gadowl >, by 
the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >: and 
they shall be an execration <0423 >alah >, [and] an astonishment 
<8047 shammah >, and a curse <7045 q@lalah >, and a reproach 
<2781 cherpah >.



 13 For I will punish <6485 paqad > them that dwell <3427 yashab

have punished <6485 paqad > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, by 
the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by 
the pestilence <1698 deber >:



 14 So that none <3808 lo> > of the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > 
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which are gone <0935 bow> > into the 
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481

shuwb > to dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >: for none 
<3808 lo> > shall return <7725 shuwb > but such as shall escape 
<6412 paliyt >.



 15. Then all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > which knew 
<3045 yada< > that their wives <0802 >ishshah > had burned <6999 
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods 
<0430 >elohiym >, and all <3605 kol > the women <0802 >ishshah > 
that stood <5975 <amad > by, a great <1419 gadowl > multitude 
<6951 qahal >, even all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that 
dwelt <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >, in Pathros <6624 Pathrowc >, answered <6030 <anah > 
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



 16 [As for] the word <1697 dabar > that thou hast spoken <1696 
dabar > unto us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, we will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto thee.



 17 But we will certainly do <6213 <asah > whatsoever thing 
<1697 dabar > goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of 
our own mouth <6310 peh >, to burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999 
qatar > unto the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven <8064 shamayim

unto her, as we have done <6213 <asah >, we, and our fathers <1>,
 our kings <4428 melek >, and our princes <8269 sar >, in the 
cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the 
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: for 
[then] had <1961 hayah > we plenty <7646 saba< > of victuals 
<3899 lechem >, and were well <2896 towb >, and saw <7200 ra>ah 
> no <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< >.



 18 But since we left <2308 chadal > off to burn <6999 qatar > 
incense <6999 qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven 
<8064 shamayim >, and to pour <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 
necek > offerings unto her, we have wanted <2637 chacer > all 
<3605 kol > [things], and have been consumed <8552 tamam > by 
the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >.



 19 And when <3588 kiy > we burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 
qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven <8064 shamayim >,
 and poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto 
her, did we make <6213 <asah > her cakes <3561 kavvan > to 
worship <6087 <atsab > her, and pour <5258 nacak > out drink 
<5262 necek > offerings unto her, without <1107 bil<adey > our 
men <0582 >enowsh >?



 20. Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto all 
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, to the men <1397 geber >, 
and to the women <0802 >ishshah >, and to all <3605 kol > the 
people <5971 <am > which had given him [that] answer <6030 <anah 
>, saying <0559 >amar >,



 21 The incense <7002 qitter > that ye burned <6999 qatar > in 
the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the 
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, ye, 
and your fathers <1>, your kings <4428 melek >, and your princes 
<8269 sar >, and the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets 
>, did not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > remember <2142 zakar > them, 
and came <5927 <alah > it [not] into <5921 <al > his mind <3820 
leb >?



 22 So that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > could <3201 yakol > no 
<3808 lo> > longer <5750 <owd > bear <5375 nasa> >, because 
<6440 paniym > of the evil <7455 roa< > of your doings <4611 
ma<alal >, [and] because <6440 paniym > of the abominations 
<8441 tow<ebah > which <0834 >aher > ye have committed <6213 
<asah >; therefore is your land <0776 >erets > a desolation 
<2723 chorbah >, and an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and a 
curse <7045 q@lalah >, without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427 
yashab >, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 23 Because ye have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >, 
and because <0834 >aher > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > the 
voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, nor <3808 lo> > 
walked <1980 halak > in his law <8451 towrah >, nor in his 
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, nor in his testimonies <5715>; 
therefore this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > is happened <7122 
qara> > unto you, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 24 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, and to all <3605 kol > 
the women <0802 >ishshah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

Y@huwdah > that [are] in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim >:



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

<3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >; Ye and your wives <0802

peh >, and fulfilled <4390 male> > with your hand <3027 yad >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, We will surely perform <6213 <asah > our 
vows <5088 neder > that we have vowed <5087 nadar >, to burn 
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh

drink <5262 necek > offerings unto her: ye will surely 
accomplish <6965 quwm > your vows <5088 neder >, and surely 
perform <6213 <asah > your vows <5088 neder >.



 26 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > that dwell <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > 
of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; Behold <2005 hen >, I have sworn 
<7650 shaba< > by my great <1419 gadowl > name <8034 shem >, 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that my name <8034

<0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, saying <0559 >amar >, 
The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > liveth <2416 chay >.



 27 Behold <2005 hen >, I will watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 
<al > them for evil <7451 ra< >, and not for good <2896 towb >: 
and all <3605 kol > the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah > that [are] in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim > shall be consumed <8552 tamam > by the sword <2719 
chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, until <5704 <ad > 
there be an end <3615 kalah > of them.



 28 Yet a small <4962 math > number <4557 micpar > that escape 
<6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb > shall return <7725 shuwb

that are gone <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt

shall know <3045 yada< > whose <4310 miy > words <1697 dabar > 
shall stand <6965 quwm >, mine, or theirs <1992 hem >.



 29 And this <2063 zo>th > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto

punish <6485 paqad > you in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm

shall surely stand <6965 quwm > against <5921 <al > you for evil 
<7451 ra< >:



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

<6548 Par<oh Chophra< > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714

into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019

Jeremiah 45



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the 
prophet <5030 nabiy> > spake <1696 dabar > unto Baruch <1263 
Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >, when he 
had written <3789 kathab > these words <1697 dabar > in a book 
<5612 cepher > at the mouth <6310 peh > of Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah >, in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > 
of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah 
<2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, 
saying <0559 >amar >,



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
 the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, unto thee, 
O Baruch <1263 Baruwk >;



 3 Thou didst say <0559 >amar >, Woe <0188 >owy > is me now 
<4994 na> >! for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath added <3254 
yacaph > grief <3015 yagown > to my sorrow <4341 mak>ob >; I 
fainted <3021 yaga< > in my sighing <0585 >anachah >, and I find 
<4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > rest <4496 m@nuwchah >.



 4 Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto him, The 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar > thus <3541 koh >; 
Behold <2009 hinneh >, [that] which <0834 >aher > I have built 
<1129 banah > will I break <2040 harac > down <2040 harac >, and 
that which <0834 >aher > I have planted <5193 nata< > I will 
pluck <5428 nathash > up, even this <1931 huw> > whole <3605 kol

 5 And seekest <1245 baqash > thou great <1419 gadowl > things 
for thyself? seek <1245 baqash > [them] not: for, behold <2005 
hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon all <3605

Jeremiah 46



 1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > which 
<0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > 
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > against <5921 <al > the Gentiles 
<1471 gowy >;



 2 Against Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, against the army <2428 
chayil > of Pharaohnecho <6549 Par<oh N@koh > king <4428 melek > 
of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, which <0834 >aher > was by the river 
<5104 nahar > Euphrates <6578 P@rath > in Carchemish <3751 
Kark@miysh >, which <0834 >aher > Nebuchadrezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
smote <5221 nakah > in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141

Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >.



 3 Order <6186 <arak > ye the buckler <4043 magen > and shield 
<6793 tsinnah >, and draw near <5066 nagash > to battle <4421 
milchamah >.



 4 Harness <0631 >acar > the horses <5483 cuwc >; and get <5927

forth with [your] helmets <3553 kowba< >; furbish <4838 maraq > 
the spears <7420 romach >, [and] put <3847 labash > on the 
brigandines <5630 ciyron >.



 5 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > have I seen <7200 ra>ah > them 
dismayed <2844 chath > [and] turned <5472 cuwg > away back <0268 
>achowr >? and their mighty <1368 gibbowr > ones are beaten

[was] round <5439 cabiyb > about, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

 6 Let not the swift <7031 qal > flee <5127 nuwc > away, nor

they shall stumble <3782 kashal >, and fall <5307 naphal > 
toward the north <6828 tsaphown > by the river <5104 nahar > 
Euphrates <6578 P@rath >.



 7 Who <4310 miy > [is] this <2088 zeh > [that] cometh <5927 
<alah > up as a flood <2975 y@<or >, whose waters <4325 mayim >

 8 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > riseth <5927 <alah > up like a flood 
<2975 y@<or >, and [his] waters <4325 mayim > are moved <1607

 9 Come <5927 <alah > up, ye horses <5483 cuwc >; and rage <1984

gibbowr > men come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >; the 
Ethiopians <3569 Kuwshiy > and the Libyans <6316 Puwt >, that 
handle <8610 taphas > the shield <4043 magen >; and the Lydians 
<3866 Luwdiy >, that handle <8610 taphas > [and] bend <1869 
darak > the bow <7198 qesheth >.



 10 For this <1931 huw> > [is] the day <3117 yowm > of the Lord 
<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, a 
day <3117 yowm > of vengeance <5360 n@qamah >, that he may 
avenge <5358 naqam > him of his adversaries <6862 tsar >: and 
the sword <2719 chereb > shall devour <0398 >akal >, and it 
shall be satiate <7646 saba< > and made drunk <7301 ravah > with 
their blood <1818 dam >: for the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 
Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath a sacrifice <2077 zebach

 11 Go <5927 <alah > up into Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >, and take 
<3947 laqach > balm <6875 ts@riy >, O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >, 
the daughter <1323 bath > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >: in vain 
<7723 shav> > shalt thou use many <7235 rabah > medicines <7499

 12. The nations <1471 gowy > have heard <8085 shama< > of thy 
shame <7036 qalown >, and thy cry <6682 ts@vachah > hath filled 
<4390 male> > the land <0776 >erets >: for the mighty <1368

 13 The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

 14 Declare <5046 nagad > ye in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and 
publish <8085 shama< > in Migdol <4024 Migdowl >, and publish 
<8085 shama< > in Noph <5297 Noph > and in Tahpanhes <8471 
Tachpanchec >: say <0559 >amar > ye, Stand <3320 yatsab > fast, 
and prepare <3559 kuwn > thee; for the sword <2719 chereb > 
shall devour <0398 >akal > round <5439 cabiyb > about thee.



 15 Why <4069 madduwa< > are thy valiant <47> [men] swept <5502 
cachaph > away? they stood <5975 <amad > not, because <3588 kiy

 16 He made many <7235 rabah > to fall <3782 kashal >, yea, one 
<0376 >iysh > fell <5307 naphal > upon another <7453 rea< >: and 
they said <0559 >amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and let us go <7725

to the land <0776 >erets > of our nativity <4138 mowledeth >, 
from the oppressing <3238 yanah > sword <2719 chereb >.



 17 They did cry <7121 qara> > there <8033 sham >, Pharaoh <6547 
Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [is but] 
a noise <7588 sha>own >; he hath passed <5674 <abar > the time

 18 [As] I live <2416 chay >, saith <5002 n@>um > the King <4428

 19 O thou daughter <1323 bath > dwelling <3427 yashab > in 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, furnish thyself to go into captivity 
<1473 gowlah >: for Noph <5297 Noph > shall be waste <8047

 20 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [is like] a very <3304 y@pheh-phiyah

 21 Also <1571 gam > her hired <7916 sakiyr > men [are] in the 
midst <7130 qereb > of her like fatted <4770 marbeq > bullocks

<3162 yachad >: they did not stand <5975 <amad >, because <3588

come <0935 bow> > upon them, [and] the time <6256 <eth > of 
their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.



 22 The voice <6963 qowl > thereof shall go <3212 yalak > like a 
serpent <5175 nachash >; for they shall march <3212 yalak > with 
an army <2428 chayil >, and come <0935 bow> > against her with 
axes <7134 qardom >, as hewers <2404 chatab > of wood <6086 <ets

 23 They shall cut <3772 karath > down her forest <3293 ya<ar >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, though it cannot 
<3808 lo> > be searched <2713 chaqar >; because <3588 kiy > they 
are more <7231 rabab > than the grasshoppers <0697 >arbeh >, and 
[are] innumerable.



 24 The daughter <1323 bath > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > shall 
be confounded <3001 yabesh >; she shall be delivered <5414

 25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God 
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <0559 >amar >;
 Behold <2005 hen >, I will punish <6485 paqad > the multitude 
<0582 >enowsh > of No, and Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >, and Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim >, with their gods <0430 >elohiym >, and their 
kings <4428 melek >; even Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >, and [all] them 
that trust <0982 batach > in him:



 26 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 
yad > of those that seek <1245 baqash > their lives <5315 
nephesh >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019

and into the hand <3027 yad > of his servants <5650 <ebed >: and 
afterward it shall be inhabited <7931 shakan >, as in the days 
<3117 yowm > of old <6924 qedem >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 27 But fear <3372 yare> > not thou, O my servant <5650 <ebed > 
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and be not dismayed <2865 chathath >, O 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: for, behold <2005 hen >, I will save 
<3467 yasha< > thee from afar <7350 rachowq > off, and thy seed 
<2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity

 28 Fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > my

leave thee wholly <5352 naqah > unpunished <5352 naqah >.



Jeremiah 47



 1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came 
<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 
nabiy> > against <0413 >el > the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >, 
before <6440 paniym > that Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > smote <5221 
nakah > Gaza <5804 <Azzah >.



 2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 Behold <2009 hinneh >, waters <4325 mayim > rise <5927 <alah > 
up out of the north <6828 tsaphown >, and shall be an 
overflowing <7857 shataph > flood <5158 nachal >, and shall 
overflow <7857 shataph > the land <0776 >erets >, and all <4393 
m@lo> > that is therein <4393 m@lo> >; the city <5892 <iyr >, 
and them that dwell <3427 yashab > therein: then the men <0120

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > shall howl 
<3213 yalal >.



 3 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the stamping <8161 sha<atah > of 
the hoofs <6541 parcah > of his strong <47> [horses], at the 
rushing <7494 ra<ash > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, [and at] 
the rumbling <1995 hamown > of his wheels <1534 galgal >, the 
fathers <1> shall not look <6437 panah > back <6437 panah > to 
[their] children <1121 ben > for feebleness <7510 riphyown > of 
hands <3027 yad >;



 4 Because <5921 <al > of the day <3117 yowm > that cometh <0935 
bow> > to spoil <7703 shadad > all <3605 kol > the Philistines 
<6430 P@lishtiy >, [and] to cut <3772 karath > off from Tyrus

<5826 <azar > that remaineth <8300 sariyd >: for the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > will spoil <7703 shadad > the Philistines <6430 
P@lishtiy >, the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the country <0339

 5 Baldness <7144 qorchah > is come <0935 bow> > upon Gaza <5804 
<Azzah >; Ashkelon <0831 >Ashq@lown > is cut <1820 damah > off 
[with] the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of their valley <6010

thyself?



 6 O thou sword <2719 chereb > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, how 
<5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > [will it be] ere <3808 lo> > thou 
be quiet <8252 shaqat >? put <0622 >acaph > up thyself into 
<0413 >el > thy scabbard <8593 ta<ar >, rest <7280 raga< >, and 
be still <1826 damam >.



 7 How <0349 >eyk > can it be quiet <8252 shaqat >, seeing the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given it a charge <6680 tsavah > 
against <0413 >el > Ashkelon <0831 >Ashq@lown >, and against 
<0413 >el > the sea <3220 yam > shore <2348 chowph >? there 
<8033 sham > hath he appointed <3259 ya<ad > it.



Jeremiah 48



 1. Against Moab <4124 Mow>ab > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the 
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Woe <1945 howy

Kiriathaim <7156 Qiryathayim > is confounded <3001 yabesh > 
[and] taken <3920 lakad >: Misgab <4869 misgab > is confounded 
<3001 yabesh > and dismayed <2865 chathath >.



 2 [There shall be] no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > praise 
<8416 t@hillah > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >: in Heshbon <2809 
Cheshbown > they have devised <2803 chashab > evil <7451 ra< > 
against <5921 <al > it; come <3212 yalak >, and let us cut <3772 
karath > it off from [being] a nation <1471 gowy >. Also <1571 
gam > thou shalt be cut <1826 damam > down, O Madmen <4086 
Madmen >; the sword <2719 chereb > shall pursue <3212 yalak > 
thee.



 3 A voice <6963 qowl > of crying <6818 tsa<aqah > [shall be] 
from Horonaim <2773 Choronayim >, spoiling <7701 shod > and 
great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >.



 4 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is destroyed <7665 shabar >; her little 
<6810 tsa<iyr > ones have caused a cry <2201 za<aq > to be heard 
<8085 shama< >.



 5 For in the going <4608 ma<aleh > up of Luhith <3872 Luwchiyth 
> continual weeping <1065 B@kiy > shall go <5927 <alah > up; for 
in the going <4174 mowrad > down <4174 mowrad > of Horonaim 
<2773 Choronayim > the enemies <6862 tsar > have heard <8085 
shama< > a cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of destruction <7667 sheber >.



 6 Flee <5127 nuwc >, save <4422 malat > your lives <5315 
nephesh >, and be like <2421 chayah > the heath <6176 <arow<er > 
in the wilderness <4057 midbar >.



 7 For because thou hast trusted <0982 batach > in thy works 
<4639 ma<aseh > and in thy treasures <0214 >owtsar >, thou shalt 
also <1571 gam > be taken <3920 lakad >: and Chemosh <3645

captivity <1473 gowlah > [with] his priests <3548 kohen > and 
his princes <8269 sar > together <3162 yachad >.



 8 And the spoiler <7703 shadad > shall come <0935 bow> > upon 
every <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr >, and no <3808 lo> > city 
<5892 <iyr > shall escape <4422 malat >: the valley <6010 <emeq

destroyed <8045 shamad >, as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath 
spoken <0559 >amar >.



 9 Give <5414 nathan > wings <6731 tsiyts > unto Moab <4124 
Mow>ab >, that it may flee <5323 natsa> > and get <3318 yatsa> > 
away <3318 yatsa> >: for the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof shall 
be desolate <8047 shammah >, without <0369 >ayin > any to dwell 
<3427 yashab > therein <2004 hen >.



 10 Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] he that doeth <6213 <asah > the 
work <4399 m@la>kah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > deceitfully 
<7423 r@miyah >, and cursed <0779 >arar > [be] he that keepeth 
<4513 mana< > back <4513 mana< > his sword <2719 chereb > from 
blood <1818 dam >.



 11 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath been at ease <7599 sha>an > from 
his youth <5271 na<uwr >, and he hath settled <8252 shaqat > on 
<0413 >el > his lees <8105 shemer >, and hath not been <1961

<3627 k@liy >, neither <3808 lo> > hath he gone <1980 halak > 
into captivity <1473 gowlah >: therefore his taste <2940 ta<am > 
remained <5975 <amad > in him, and his scent <7381 reyach > is 
not changed <4171 muwr >.



 12 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, that I will send <7971 shalach > unto him wanderers

and shall empty <7324 ruwq > his vessels <3627 k@liy >, and 
break <5310 naphats > their bottles <5035 nebel >.



 13 And Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of 
Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh >, as the house <1004 bayith > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > was ashamed <0954 buwsh > of Bethel <1008 Beyth-

 14. How <0349 >eyk > say <0559 >amar > ye, We [are] mighty 
<1368 gibbowr > and strong <2428 chayil > men <0582 >enowsh > 
for the war <4421 milchamah >?



 15 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and gone 
<5927 <alah > up [out of] her cities <5892 <iyr >, and his 
chosen <4005 mibchar > young <0970 bachuwr > men are gone <3381 
yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the slaughter <2875 Tebach >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the King <4428 melek >, whose name <8034

 16 The calamity <0343 >eyd > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > [is] near 
<7138 qarowb > to come <0935 bow> >, and his affliction <7451 
ra< > hasteth <4116 mahar > fast <3966 m@<od >.



 17 All <3605 kol > ye that are about <5439 cabiyb > him, bemoan 
<5110 nuwd > him; and all <3605 kol > ye that know <3045 yada< > 
his name <8034 shem >, say <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk > is 
the strong <5797 <oz > staff <4294 matteh > broken <7665 shabar

 18 Thou daughter <1323 bath > that dost inhabit <3427 yashab > 
Dibon <1769 Diybown >, come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > 
from [thy] glory <3519 kabowd >, and sit <3427 yashab > in 
thirst <6772 tsama> >; for the spoiler <7703 shadad > of Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab > shall come <5927 <alah > upon thee, [and] he 
shall destroy <7843 shachath > thy strong <4013 mibtsar > holds 
<4013 mibtsar >.



 19 O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Aroer <6177 <Arow<er >, stand 
<5975 <amad > by the way <1870 derek >, and espy <6822 tsaphah >;
 ask <7592 sha>al > him that fleeth <5127 nuwc >, and her that 
escapeth <4422 malat >, [and] say <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah

 20 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is confounded <3001 yabesh >; for it is 
broken <2865 chathath > down: howl <3213 yalal > and cry <2199 
za<aq >; tell <5046 nagad > ye it in Arnon <0769 >Arnown >, that 
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is spoiled <7703 shadad >,



 21 And judgment <4941 mishpat > is come <0935 bow> > upon the 
plain <4334 miyshowr > country <0776 >erets >; upon Holon <2473 
Cholown >, and upon Jahazah <3096 Yahats >, and upon Mephaath 
<4158 Mowpha<ath >,



 22 And upon Dibon <1769 Diybown >, and upon Nebo <5015 N@bow >, 
and upon Bethdiblathaim <1015 Beyth Diblathayim >,



 23 And upon Kiriathaim <7156 Qiryathayim >, and upon Bethgamul 
<1014 Beyth Gamuwl >, and upon Bethmeon <1010 Beyth Ba<al M@<own

 24 And upon Kerioth <7152>, and upon Bozrah <1224 Botsrah >, 
and upon all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of the land 
<0776 >erets > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, far <7350 rachowq > or 
near <7138 qarowb >.



 25 The horn <7161 qeren > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is cut <1438 
gada< > off, and his arm <2220 z@rowa< > is broken <7665 shabar

 26 Make ye him drunken <7937 shakar >: for he magnified <1431 
gadal > [himself] against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: 
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > also shall wallow <5606 caphaq > in his 
vomit <6892 qe> >, and he also <1571 gam > shall be in derision 
<7814 s@chowq >.



 27 For was not Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a derision <7814 s@chowq 
> unto thee? was he found <4672 matsa> > among thieves <1590 
gannab >? for since <1767 day > thou spakest <1697 dabar > of 
him, thou skippedst <5110 nuwd > for joy.



 28 O ye that dwell <3427 yashab > in Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, leave 
<5800 <azab > the cities <5892 <iyr >, and dwell <7931 shakan > 
in the rock <5553 cela< >, and be like the dove <3123 yownah > 
[that] maketh her nest <7077 qanan > in the sides <5676 <eber > 
of the hole's <6354 pachath > mouth <6310 peh >.



 29 We have heard <8085 shama< > the pride <1347 ga>own > of 
Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, (he is exceeding <3966 m@<od > proud <1343 
ge>eh >) his loftiness <1363 gobahh >, and his arrogancy <1347 
ga>own >, and his pride <1347 ga>own >, and the haughtiness 
<7312 ruwm > of his heart <3820 leb >.



 30 I know <3045 yada< > his wrath <5678 <ebrah >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; but [it shall] not [be] so 
<3651 ken >; his lies <0907 bad > shall not so <3651 ken > 
effect <6213 <asah > [it].



 31 Therefore will I howl <3213 yalal > for Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, 
and I will cry <2199 za<aq > out for all <3605 kol > Moab <4124 
Mow>ab >; [mine heart] shall mourn <1897 hagah > for the men 
<0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres <7025 Qiyr Cheres >.



 32 O vine <1612 gephen > of Sibmah <7643 S@bam >, I will weep 
<1058 bakah > for thee with the weeping <1065 B@kiy > of Jazer 
<3270 Ya<azeyr >: thy plants <5189 n@tiyshah > are gone <5674

naga< > [even] to the sea <3220 yam > of Jazer <3270 Ya<azeyr >: 
the spoiler <7703 shadad > is fallen <5307 naphal > upon thy 
summer <7019 qayits > fruits and upon thy vintage <1210 batsiyr

 33 And joy <8057 simchah > and gladness <8057 simchah > is 
taken <0622 >acaph > from the plentiful <3759 karmel > field, 
and from the land <0776 >erets > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >; and I 
have caused wine <3196 yayin > to fail <7673 shabath > from the 
winepresses <3342 yeqeb >: none <3808 lo> > shall tread <1869 
darak > with shouting <1959 heydad >; [their] shouting <1959 
heydad > [shall be] no <3808 lo> > shouting <1959 heydad >.



 34 From the cry <2201 za<aq > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > 
[even] unto Elealeh <0500 >El<ale> >, [and even] unto Jahaz 
<3096 Yahats >, have they uttered <5414 nathan > their voice 
<6963 qowl >, from Zoar <6820 Tso<ar > [even] unto Horonaim 
<2773 Choronayim >, [as] an heifer <5697 <eglah > of three <7992 
sh@liyshiy > years old <7992 sh@liyshiy >: for the waters <4325 
mayim > also <1571 gam > of Nimrim <5249 Nimriym > shall be 
desolate <4923 m@shammah >.



 35 Moreover I will cause to cease <7673 shabath > in Moab <4124 
Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, him that 
offereth <5927 <alah > in the high <1116 bamah > places, and him 
that burneth <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to his gods 
<0430 >elohiym >.



 36 Therefore mine heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah > 
for Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and mine 
heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah > like pipes <2485 
chaliyl > for the men <0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres <7025 Qiyr 
Cheres >: because the riches <3502 yithrah > [that] he hath 
gotten <6213 <asah > are perished <6>.



 37 For every <3605 kol > head <7218 ro>sh > [shall be] bald 
<7144 qorchah >, and every <3605 kol > beard <2206 zaqan > 
clipped <1639 gara< >: upon all <3605 kol > the hands <3027 yad

mothen > sackcloth <8242 saq >.



 38 [There shall be] lamentation <4553 micepd > generally <3605 
kol > upon all <3605 kol > the housetops <1406 gag > of Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab >, and in the streets <7339 r@chob > thereof: for I 
have broken <7665 shabar > Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like a vessel 
<3627 k@liy > wherein [is] no <0369 >ayin > pleasure <2656 
chephets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 39 They shall howl <3213 yalal >, [saying], How <0349 >eyk > is 
it broken <2865 chathath > down! how <0349 >eyk > hath Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab > turned <6437 panah > the back <6203 <oreph > with 
shame <0954 buwsh >! so shall Moab <4124 Mow>ab > be a derision 
<7814 s@chowq > and a dismaying <4288 m@chittah > to all <3605 
kol > them about <5439 cabiyb > him.



 40 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall fly <1675 da>ah > as 
an eagle <5404 nesher >, and shall spread <6566 paras > his 
wings <3671 kanaph > over <0413 >el > Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.



 41 Kerioth <7152> is taken <3920 lakad >, and the strong <4679 
m@tsad > holds <4679 m@tsad > are surprised <8610 taphas >, and 
the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men's hearts <3820 leb > in Moab 
<4124 Mow>ab > at that day <3117 yowm > shall be as the heart 
<3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her pangs <6887 
tsarar >.



 42 And Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be destroyed <8045 shamad > 
from [being] a people <5971 <am >, because he hath magnified 
<1431 gadal > [himself] against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 43 Fear <6343 pachad >, and the pit <6354 pachath >, and the 
snare <6341 pach >, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant <3427 
yashab > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >.



 44 He that fleeth <5211 niyc > from the fear <6343 pachad > 
shall fall <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the pit <6354 pachath

pachath > shall be taken <3920 lakad > in the snare <6341 pach >:
 for I will bring <0935 bow> > upon it, [even] upon Moab <4124 
Mow>ab >, the year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 
p@quddah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 45 They that fled <5127 nuwc > stood <5975 <amad > under the 
shadow <6738 tsel > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > because of the 
force <3581 koach >: but a fire <0784 >esh > shall come <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, 
and a flame <3852 lehabah > from the midst of Sihon <5511 
Ciychown >, and shall devour <0398 >akal > the corner <6285 
pe>ah > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and the crown <6936 qodqod > of 
the head <6936 qodqod > of the tumultuous ones <1121 ben >.



 46 Woe <0188 >owy > be unto thee, O Moab <4124 Mow>ab >! the 
people <5971 <am > of Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > perisheth <6>: for 
thy sons <1121 ben > are taken <3947 laqach > captives <7628 
sh@biy >, and thy daughters <1121 ben > captives <7633 shibyah >.



 47 Yet will I bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the 
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > in the latter 
<0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Thus <2008 hennah > far <2008 hennah > 
[is] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >.



Jeremiah 49



 1. Concerning the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, thus <3541 koh > 
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Hath Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > no <0369 >ayin > sons <1121 ben >? hath he no <0369 
>ayin > heir <3423 yarash >? why <4069 madduwa< > [then] doth 
their king <4428 melek > inherit <3423 yarash > Gad <1410 Gad >, 
and his people <5971 <am > dwell <3427 yashab > in his cities 
<5892 <iyr >?



 2 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, that I will cause an alarm <8643 t@ruw<ah > of war 
<4421 milchamah > to be heard <8085 shama< > in Rabbah <7237 
Rabbah > of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >; and it shall be a 
desolate <8077 sh@mamah > heap <8510 tel >, and her daughters 
<1121 ben > shall be burned <3341 yatsath > with fire <0784 >esh 
>: then shall Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be heir <3423 yarash > 
unto them that were his heirs <3423 yarash >, saith <5002 n@>um 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 3 Howl <3213 yalal >, O Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, for Ai <5857 
<Ay > is spoiled <7703 shadad >: cry <6817 tsa<aq >, ye 
daughters <1121 ben > of Rabbah <7237 Rabbah >, gird <2296 
chagar > you with sackcloth <8242 saq >; lament <5594 caphad >, 
and run <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > by the hedges 
<1448 g@derah >; for their king <4428 melek > shall go <3212 
yalak > into captivity <1473 gowlah >, [and] his priests <3548 
kohen > and his princes <8269 sar > together <3162 yachad >.



 4 Wherefore <4100 mah > gloriest <1984 halal > thou in the 
valleys <6010 <emeq >, thy flowing <2100 zuwb > valley <6010 
<emeq >, O backsliding <7728 showbeb > daughter <1323 bath >? 
that trusted <0982 batach > in her treasures <0214 >owtsar >, 
[saying], Who <4310 miy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto me?



 5 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a fear <6343 
pachad > upon thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > 
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, from all <3605 kol 
> those that be about <5439 cabiyb > thee; and ye shall be 
driven <5080 nadach > out every man <0376 >iysh > right <6440 
paniym > forth <6440 paniym >; and none <0369 >ayin > shall 
gather <6908 qabats > up him that wandereth <5074 nadad >.



 6 And afterward I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > 
the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of the children <1121 ben > of 
Ammon <5983 <Ammown >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 7. Concerning Edom <0123 >Edom >, thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; [Is] 
wisdom <2451 chokmah > no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > in 
Teman <8487 Teyman >? is counsel <6098 <etsah > perished <6> 
from the prudent <0995 biyn >? is their wisdom <2451 chokmah > 
vanished <5628 carach >?



 8 Flee <5127 nuwc > ye, turn <6437 panah > back <6437 panah >, 
dwell <3427 yashab > deep <6009 <amaq >, O inhabitants <3427 
yashab > of Dedan <1719 D@dan >; for I will bring <0935 bow> > 
the calamity <0343 >eyd > of Esau <6215 <Esav > upon him, the 
time <6256 <eth > [that] I will visit <6485 paqad > him.



 9 If <0518 >im > grapegatherers <1219 batsar > come <0935 bow> 
> to thee, would they not leave <7604 sha>ar > [some] gleaning 
<5955 <olelah > grapes? if <0518 >im > thieves <1590 gannab > by 
night <3915 layil >, they will destroy <7843 shachath > till 
<5704 <ad > they have enough <1767 day >.



 10 But I have made Esau <6215 <Esav > bare <2834 chasaph >, I 
have uncovered <1540 galah > his secret <4565 mictar > places, 
and he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to hide <2247 chabah > 
himself: his seed <2233 zera< > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and 
his brethren <0251 >ach >, and his neighbours <7934 shaken >, 
and he [is] not.



 11 Leave <5800 <azab > thy fatherless <3490 yathowm > children 
<1121 ben >, I will preserve <2421 chayah > [them] alive <2421 
chayah >; and let thy widows <0490 >almanah > trust <0982 batach 
> in me.



 12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, they whose <0834 >aher > 
judgment <4941 mishpat > [was] not to drink <8354 shathah > of 
the cup <3563 kowc > have assuredly <8354 shathah > drunken 
<7937 shakar >; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go 
unpunished <5352 naqah >? thou shalt not go <3212 yalak > 
unpunished <5352 naqah >, but thou shalt surely <3588 kiy > 
drink <8354 shathah > [of it].



 13 For I have sworn <7650 shaba< > by myself, saith <5002 n@>um 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > shall 
become <1961 hayah > a desolation <8047 shammah >, a reproach 
<2781 cherpah >, a waste <2721 choreb >, and a curse <7045 
q@lalah >; and all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof 
shall be perpetual <5769 <owlam > wastes <2723 chorbah >.



 14 I have heard <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > from 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an ambassador <6735 tsiyr > is 
sent <7971 shalach > unto the heathen <1471 gowy >, [saying], 
Gather <6908 qabats > ye together, and come <0935 bow> > against 
<5921 <al > her, and rise <6965 quwm > up to the battle <4421 
milchamah >.



 15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee 
small <6996 qatan > among the heathen <1471 gowy >, [and] 
despised <0959 bazah > among men <0120 >adam >.



 16 Thy terribleness <8606 tiphletseth > hath deceived <5377 
nasha> > thee, [and] the pride <2087 zadown > of thine heart 
<3820 leb >, O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > in the clefts 
<2288 chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< >, that holdest <8610 
taphas > the height <4791 marowm > of the hill <1389 gib<ah >: 
though <3588 kiy > thou shouldest make thy nest <7064 qen > as 
high <1361 gabahh > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, I will bring 
<3381 yarad > thee down <3381 yarad > from thence <8033 sham >, 
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 17 Also Edom <0123 >Edom > shall be a desolation <8047 shammah 
>: every <3605 kol > one that goeth <5674 <abar > by it shall be 
astonished <8074 shamem >, and shall hiss <8319 sharaq > at 
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah > thereof.



 18 As in the overthrow <4114 mahpekah > of Sodom <5467 C@dom > 
and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > and the neighbour <7934 shaken > 
[cities] thereof, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > shall abide <3427 yashab > 
there <8033 sham >, neither <3808 lo> > shall a son <1121 ben > 
of man <0120 >adam > dwell <1481 guwr > in it.



 19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a 
lion <0738 >ariy > from the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan 
<3383 Yarden > against <0413 >el > the habitation <5116 naveh > 
of the strong <0386 >eythan >: but I will suddenly <7280 raga< > 
make him run <7323 ruwts > away from her: and who <4310 miy > 
[is] a chosen <0970 bachuwr > [man, that] I may appoint <6485 
paqad > over <0413 >el > her? for who <4310 miy > [is] like 
<3644 k@mow > me? and who <4310 miy > will appoint <3259 ya<ad > 
me the time? and who <4310 miy > [is] that shepherd <7462 ra<ah 
> that will stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me?



 20 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > the counsel <6098 
<etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken <3289 
ya<ats > against <0413 >el > Edom <0123 >Edom >; and his 
purposes <4284 machashabah >, that he hath purposed <2803 
chashab > against <0413 >el > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of 
Teman <8487 Teyman >: Surely the least <6810 tsa<iyr > of the 
flock <6629 tso>n > shall draw <5498 cachab > them out: surely 
he shall make their habitations <5116 naveh > desolate <8074 
shamem > with them.



 21 The earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493 ra<ash > at the 
noise <6963 qowl > of their fall <5307 naphal >, at the cry 
<6818 tsa<aqah > the noise <6963 qowl > thereof was heard <8085 
shama< > in the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >.



 22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up and 
fly <1675 da>ah > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, and spread <6566 
paras > his wings <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al > Bozrah <1224 
Botsrah >: and at that day <3117 yowm > shall the heart <3820 
leb > of the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men of Edom <0123 >Edom > be 
as the heart <3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her 
pangs <6887 tsarar >.



 23. Concerning Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >. Hamath <2574 Chamath

they have heard <8085 shama< > evil <7451 ra< > tidings <8052 
sh@muw<ah >: they are fainthearted <4127 muwg >; [there is] 
sorrow <1974 hilluwl > on the sea <3220 yam >; it cannot be 
quiet <8252 shaqat >.



 24 Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > is waxed feeble <7503 raphah >, 
[and] turneth <6437 panah > herself to flee <5127 nuwc >, and 
fear <7374 retet > hath seized <2388 chazaq > on [her]: anguish 
<6869 tsarah > and sorrows <2256 chebel > have taken <0270 
>achaz > her, as a woman in travail <3205 yalad >.



 25 How <0349 >eyk > is the city <5892 <iyr > of praise <8416 
t@hillah > not left <5800 <azab >, the city <7151 qiryah > of my 
joy <4885 masows >!



 26 Therefore <3651 ken > her young <0970 bachuwr > men shall 
fall <5307 naphal > in her streets <7339 r@chob >, and all <3605 
kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > shall be 
cut <1826 damam > off in that day <3117 yowm >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



 27 And I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in the 
wall <2346 chowmah > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, and it shall 
consume <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of Benhadad 
<1130 Ben-Hadad >.



 28. Concerning Kedar <6938 Qedar >, and concerning the kingdoms 
<4467 mamlakah > of Hazor <2674 Chatsowr >, which <0834 >aher > 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > shall smite <5221 nakah >, thus <3541 koh

<7703 shadad > the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem >.



 29 Their tents <0168 >ohel > and their flocks <6629 tso>n > 
shall they take <3947 laqach > away: they shall take <5375 nasa>

all <3605 kol > their vessels <3627 k@liy >, and their camels 
<1581 gamal >; and they shall cry <7121 qara> > unto them, Fear 
<4032 magowr > [is] on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb >.



 30 Flee <5127 nuwc >, get <5110 nuwd > you far <3966 m@<od > 
off, dwell <3427 yashab > deep <6009 <amaq >, O ye inhabitants 
<3427 yashab > of Hazor <2674 Chatsowr >, saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; for Nebuchadrezzar <5019 
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > 
hath taken counsel <6098 <etsah > against <5921 <al > you, and 
hath conceived <2030 hareh > a purpose <4284 machashabah > 
against <5921 <al > you.



 31 Arise <6965 quwm >, get <5927 <alah > you up unto the 
wealthy <7961 shalev > nation <1471 gowy >, that dwelleth <3427 
yashab > without care <0983 betach >, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which have neither <3808 lo> > gates <1817 
deleth > nor <3808 lo> > bars <1280 b@riyach >, [which] dwell 
<7931 shakan > alone <0909 badad >.



 32 And their camels <1581 gamal > shall be a booty <0957 baz >, 
and the multitude <0527 >amown > of their cattle <4734 miqla<ath

all <3605 kol > winds <7307 ruwach > them [that are] in the 
utmost <7112 qatsats > corners <6285 pe>ah >; and I will bring 
<0935 bow> > their calamity <0343 >eyd > from all <3605 kol > 
sides <5676 <eber > thereof, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 33 And Hazor <2674 Chatsowr > shall be a dwelling <4583 ma<own

[any] son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > dwell <1481 guwr > in 
it.



 34. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that 
came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet 
<5030 nabiy> > against <0413 >el > Elam <5867 <Eylam > in the 
beginning <7225 re>shiyth > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 
Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



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

<7665 shabar > the bow <7198 qesheth > of Elam <5867 <Eylam >, 
the chief <7225 re>shiyth > of their might <1369 g@buwrah >.



 36 And upon Elam <5867 <Eylam > will I bring <0935 bow> > the 
four <0702 >arba< > winds <7307 ruwach > from the four <0702 
>arba< > quarters <7098 qatsah > of heaven <8064 shamayim >, and 
will scatter <2219 zarah > them toward all <3605 kol > those 
<0428 >el-leh > winds <7307 ruwach >; and there shall be no 
<3808 lo> > nation <1471 gowy > whither the outcasts <5080 
nadach > of Elam <5867 <Eylam > shall not come <0935 bow> >.



 37 For I will cause Elam <5867 <Eylam > to be dismayed <2865 
chathath > before <6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, 
and before <6440 paniym > them that seek <1245 baqash > their

anger <0639 >aph >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
 and I will send <7971 shalach > the sword <2719 chereb > after 
<0310 >achar > them, till <5704 <ad > I have consumed <3615

 38 And I will set <7760 suwm > my throne <3678 kicce> > in Elam 
<5867 <Eylam >, and will destroy <6> from thence <8033 sham > 
the king <4428 melek > and the princes <8269 sar >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 39 But it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in the latter <0319

<5867 <Eylam >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 50



 1. The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

against <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans

 2 Declare <5046 nagad > ye among the nations <1471 gowy >, and 
publish <8085 shama< >, and set <5375 nasa> > up a standard

<6091 <atsab > are confounded <3001 yabesh >, her images <1544

 3 For out of the north <6828 tsaphown > there cometh <5927

<1931 huw> > shall make <7896 shiyth > her land <0776 >erets >

 4 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time

<2008 hennah >, [saying], Come <0935 bow> >, and let us join

 6 My people <5971 <am > hath been <1961 hayah > lost <6> sheep

 7 All <3605 kol > that found <4672 matsa> > them have devoured

 11 Because <3588 kiy > ye were glad <8056 sameach >, because 
<3588 kiy > ye rejoiced <5937 <alaz >, O ye destroyers <8154

 13 Because of the wrath <7110 qetseph > of the LORD <3068

 16 Cut <3772 karath > off the sower <2232 zara< > from Babylon

 18 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430

 19 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > again

 and his soul <5315 nephesh > shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > 
upon mount <2022 har > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > and Gilead

 20 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time

 21. Go <5927 <alah > up against <5921 <al > the land <0776

 24 I have laid a snare <3369 yaqosh > for thee, and thou art

 25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath opened <6605 pathach > his

<3318 yatsa> > the weapons <3627 k@liy > of his indignation

 26 Come <0935 bow> > against her from the utmost <7093 qets >

 28 The voice <6963 qowl > of them that flee <5127 nuwc > and

 29 Call <8085 shama< > together the archers <7228 rab > against

 30 Therefore <3651 ken > shall her young <0970 bachuwr > men

 31 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am <1961 hayah >] against <0413 >el >

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

 34 Their Redeemer <1350 ga>al > [is] strong <2389 chazaq >; the

 35 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy

 36 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon the liars <0907 bad >; and 
they shall dote <2973 ya>al >: a sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon 
her mighty <1368 gibbowr > men; and they shall be dismayed <2865

 37 A sword <2719 chereb > [is] upon their horses <5483 cuwc >, 
and upon their chariots <7393 rekeb >, and upon all <3605 kol > 
the mingled <6154 <ereb > people that [are] in the midst <8432

 38 A drought <2721 choreb > [is] upon her waters <4325 mayim >; 
and they shall be dried <3001 yabesh > up: for it [is] the land 
<0776 >erets > of graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, and they are mad

 39 Therefore <3651 ken > the wild <6728 tsiyiy > beasts <6728

 40 As God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew <4114 mahpekah > Sodom

 41 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a people <5971 <am > shall come <0935

 42 They shall hold <2388 chazaq > the bow <7198 qesheth > and 
the lance <3591 kiydown >: they [are] cruel <0394 >akzariy >, 
and will not shew mercy <7355 racham >: their voice <6963 qowl >

put in array <6186 <arak >, like a man <0376 >iysh > to the 
battle <4421 milchamah >, against <5921 <al > thee, O daughter 
<1323 bath > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 43 The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > hath heard 
<8085 shama< > the report <8088 shema< > of them, and his hands 
<3027 yad > waxed feeble <7503 raphah >: anguish <6869 tsarah > 
took hold <2388 chazaq > of him, [and] pangs <2427 chiyl > as of

 44 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a 
lion <0738 >ariy > from the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan 
<3383 Yarden > unto the habitation <5116 naveh > of the strong

and who <4310 miy > will appoint <3259 ya<ad > me the time? and 
who <4310 miy > [is] that shepherd <7462 ra<ah > that will stand

 45 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the counsel 
<6098 <etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken 
<3289 ya<ats > against <0413 >el > Babylon <0894 Babel >; and

surely he shall make [their] habitation <5116 naveh > desolate 
<8074 shamem > with them.



 46 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the taking <8610 taphas > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > the earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493 
ra<ash >, and the cry <2201 za<aq > is heard <8085 shama< > 
among the nations <1471 gowy >.



Jeremiah 51



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

 2 And will send <7971 shalach > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > 
fanners <2114 zuwr >, that shall fan <2219 zarah > her, and

 3 Against <0413 >el > [him that] bendeth <1869 darak > let the

utterly all <3605 kol > her host <6635 tsaba> >.



 4 Thus the slain <2491 chalal > shall fall <5307 naphal > in 
the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and 
[they that are] thrust <1856 daqar > through <1856 daqar > in

 10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath brought <3318 yatsa> > forth 
<3318 yatsa> > our righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >: come <0935

<0430 >elohiym >.



 11 Make bright <1305 barar > the arrows <1121 ben >; gather 
<4390 male> > the shields <7982 shelet >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

kings <4428 melek > of the Medes <4074 Maday >: for his device 
<4209 m@zimmah > [is] against <5921 <al > Babylon <0894 Babel >, 
to destroy <7843 shachath > it; because <3588 kiy > it [is] the 
vengeance <5360 n@qamah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the 
vengeance <5360 n@qamah > of his temple <1964 heykal >.



 12 Set <5375 nasa> > up the standard <5251 nec > upon the walls 
<2346 chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, make the watch <4929 
mishmar > strong <2388 chazaq >, set <6965 quwm > up the

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 13 O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > upon many <7227 rab > 
waters <4325 mayim >, abundant <7227 rab > in treasures <0214

the measure <0520 >ammah > of thy covetousness <1215 betsa< >.



 14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn 
<7650 shaba< > by himself <5315 nephesh >, [saying], Surely I 
will fill <4390 male> > thee with men <0120 >adam >, as with 
caterpillers <3218 yekeq >; and they shall lift <6030 <anah > up 
a shout <1959 heydad > against <5921 <al > thee.



 15 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 >erets > by his 
power <3581 koach >, he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world 
<8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched 
<5186 natah > out the heaven <8064 shamayim > by his 
understanding <8394 tabuwn >.



 16 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > [his] voice <6963 qowl >, 
[there is] a multitude <0527 >amown > of waters <4325 mayim > in 
the heavens <8064 shamayim >; and he causeth the vapours <5387 
nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah > from the ends <7097 qatseh > of 
the earth <0776 >erets >: he maketh <6213 <asah > lightnings

treasures <0214 >owtsar >.



 17 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar > 
by [his] knowledge <1847 da<ath >; every <3605 kol > founder 
<6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459 
pecel > image <6459 pecel >: for his molten <5262 necek > image 
[is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there is] no <3808 lo> > 
breath <7307 ruwach > in them.



 18 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, the work <4639 ma<aseh > of 
errors <8595 ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of their 
visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish <6>.



 19 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not 
like them; for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all <3605

shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah >: the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name <8034 shem >.



 20 Thou [art] my battle <4661 mappets > axe <4601 Ma<akah > 
[and] weapons <3627 k@liy > of war <4421 milchamah >: for with 
thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the nations <1471

<4467 mamlakah >;



 21 And with thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the 
horse <5483 cuwc > and his rider <7392 rakab >; and with thee 
will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the chariot <7393 rekeb > 
and his rider <7392 rakab >;



 22 With thee also will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces man 
<0376 >iysh > and woman <0802 >ishshah >; and with thee will I 
break <5310 naphats > in pieces old <2205 zaqen > and young

pieces the young <0970 bachuwr > man and the maid <1330 
b@thuwlah >;



 23 I will also break <5310 naphats > in pieces with thee the 
shepherd <7462 ra<ah > and his flock <5739 <eder >; and with 
thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the husbandman <0406

I break <5310 naphats > in pieces captains <6346 pechah > and 
rulers <5461 cagan >.



 24 And I will render <7999 shalam > unto Babylon <0894 Babel > 
and to all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Chaldea 
<3778 Kasdiy > all <3605 kol > their evil <7451 ra< > that they 
have done <6213 <asah > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > in your sight 
<5869 <ayin >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 25 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, O 
destroying <4889 mashchiyth > mountain <2022 har >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which destroyest <7843 
shachath > all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >: and I will 
stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon thee, and 
roll <1556 galal > thee down from the rocks <5553 cela< >, and 
will make <5414 nathan > thee a burnt <8316 s@rephah > mountain 
<2022 har >.



 26 And they shall not take <3947 laqach > of thee a stone <68> 
for a corner <6438 pinnah >, nor a stone <68> for foundations 
<4146 mowcadah >; but thou shalt be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > 
for ever <5769 <owlam >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 27 Set <5375 nasa> > ye up a standard <5251 nec > in the land 
<0776 >erets >, blow <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > 
among the nations <1471 gowy >, prepare <6942 qadash > the

 28 Prepare <6942 qadash > against <5921 <al > her the nations

<0776 >erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >.



 29 And the land <0776 >erets > shall tremble <7493 ra<ash > and 
sorrow <2342 chuwl >: for every purpose <4284 machashabah > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be performed <6965 quwm > against 
<5921 <al > Babylon <0894 Babel >, to make <7760 suwm > the land 
<0776 >erets > of Babylon <0894 Babel > a desolation <8047

 30 The mighty <1368 gibbowr > men of Babylon <0894 Babel > have 
forborn <2308 chadal > to fight <3898 lacham >, they have 
remained <3427 yashab > in [their] holds <4679 m@tsad >: their 
might <1369 g@buwrah > hath failed <5405 nashath >; they became 
<1961 hayah > as women <0802 >ishshah >: they have burned <3341 
yatsath > her dwellingplaces <4908 mishkan >; her bars <1280 
b@riyach > are broken <7665 shabar >.



 31 One post <7323 ruwts > shall run <7323 ruwts > to meet <7125

<3920 lakad > at [one] end <7097 qatseh >,



 32 And that the passages <4569 ma<abar > are stopped <8610 
taphas >, and the reeds <98> they have burned <8313 saraph > 
with fire <0784 >esh >, and the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421

 33 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; The daughter <1323 bath > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel > [is] like a threshingfloor <1637 goren >, [it is] 
time <6256 <eth > to thresh <1869 darak > her: yet <5750 <owd > 
a little <4592 m@<at > while, and the time <6256 <eth > of her 
harvest <7105 qatsiyr > shall come <0935 bow> >.



 34 Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > the king <4428 
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > hath devoured <0398 >akal > me, 
he hath crushed <2000 hamam > me, he hath made <3322 yatsag > me 
an empty <7385 riyq > vessel <3627 k@liy >, he hath swallowed 
<1104 bala< > me up like a dragon <8577 tanniyn >, he hath 
filled <4390 male> > his belly <3770 k@res > with my delicates 
<5730 <eden >, he hath cast <1740 duwach > me out.



 35 The violence <2555 chamac > done <6213 <asah > to me and to 
my flesh <7607 sh@>er > [be] upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, shall 
the inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > say <0559

Y@ruwshalaim > say <0559 >amar >.



 36 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will plead <7378

 37 And Babylon <0894 Babel > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps 
<1530 gal >, a dwellingplace <3427 yashab > for dragons <8577 
tanniyn >, an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322

 38 They shall roar <7580 sha>ag > together <3162 yachad > like 
lions <3715 k@phiyr >: they shall yell <5286 na<ar > as lions 
<0738 >ariy >' whelps <1484 gowr >.



 39 In their heat <2527 chom > I will make <7896 shiyth > their 
feasts <4960 mishteh >, and I will make them drunken <7937 
shakar >, that they may rejoice <5937 <alaz >, and sleep <3462 
yashen > a perpetual <5769 <owlam > sleep <8142 shehah >, and 
not wake <6974 quwts >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >.



 40 I will bring <3381 yarad > them down <3381 yarad > like 
lambs <3733 kar > to the slaughter <2873 tabach >, like rams 
<0352 >ayil > with he goats <6260 <attuwd >.



 41 How <0349 >eyk > is Sheshach <8347 Sheshak > taken <3920 
lakad >! and how is the praise <8416 t@hillah > of the whole 
<3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > surprised <8610 taphas >! how 
<0349 >eyk > is Babylon <0894 Babel > become <1961 hayah > an

 42 The sea <3220 yam > is come <5927 <alah > up upon Babylon 
<0894 Babel >: she is covered <3680 kacah > with the multitude 
<0527 >amown > of the waves <1530 gal > thereof.



 43 Her cities <5892 <iyr > are a desolation <8047 shammah >, a 
dry <6723 tsiyah > land <0776 >erets >, and a wilderness <6160 
<arabah >, a land <0776 >erets > wherein <0834 >aher > no <3808

 44 And I will punish <6485 paqad > Bel <1078 Bel > in Babylon 
<0894 Babel >, and I will bring <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 
yatsa> > out of his mouth <6310 peh > that which he hath

yea <1571 gam >, the wall <2346 chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel

 45 My people <5971 <am >, go <3318 yatsa> > ye out of the midst 
<8432 tavek > of her, and deliver <4422 malat > ye every man 
<0376 >iysh > his soul <5315 nephesh > from the fierce <2740

 46 And lest <6435 pen > your heart <3824 lebab > faint <7401

 47 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, that I will do judgment <6485 paqad > 
upon the graven <6456 p@ciyl > images of Babylon <0894 Babel >: 
and her whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall be 
confounded <0954 buwsh >, and all <3605 kol > her slain <2491

her.



 48 Then the heaven <8064 shamayim > and the earth <0776 >erets

shall come <0935 bow> > unto her from the north <6828 tsaphown >,
 saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 49 As Babylon <0894 Babel > [hath caused] the slain <2491 
chalal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to fall <5307 naphal >, so 
at Babylon <0894 Babel > shall fall <5307 naphal > the slain 
<2491 chalal > of all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >.



 50 Ye that have escaped <6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb >,
 go <1980 halak > away, stand <5975 <amad > not still <5975

<7350 rachowq > off, and let Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > come 
<5927 <alah > into <5921 <al > your mind <3824 lebab >.



 51 We are confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have 
heard <8085 shama< > reproach <2781 cherpah >: shame <3639 
k@limmah > hath covered <3680 kacah > our faces <6440 paniym >:

house <1004 bayith >.



 52 Wherefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, that I will do judgment <6485 paqad > upon her graven

<0776 >erets > the wounded <2491 chalal > shall groan <0602

 53 Though <3588 kiy > Babylon <0894 Babel > should mount <5927 
<alah > up to heaven <8064 shamayim >, and though <3588 kiy > 
she should fortify <1219 batsar > the height <4791 marowm > of 
her strength <5797 <oz >, [yet] from me shall spoilers <7703 
shadad > come <0935 bow> > unto her, saith <5002 n@>um > the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 54 A sound <6963 qowl > of a cry <2201 za<aq > [cometh <0935 
bow> >] from Babylon <0894 Babel >, and great <1419 gadowl > 
destruction <7667 sheber > from the land <0776 >erets > of the 
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >:



 55 Because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoiled 
<7703 shadad > Babylon <0894 Babel >, and destroyed <6> out of 
her the great <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl >; when her waves 
<1530 gal > do roar <1993 hamah > like great <7227 rab > waters 
<4325 mayim >, a noise <7588 sha>own > of their voice <6963 qowl

 56 Because <3588 kiy > the spoiler <7703 shadad > is come <0935 
bow> > upon her, [even] upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, and her 
mighty <1368 gibbowr > men are taken <3920 lakad >, every one of 
their bows <7198 qesheth > is broken <2865 chathath >: for the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0410 >el > of recompences <1578 
g@muwlah > shall surely requite <7999 shalam >.



 57 And I will make drunk <7937 shakar > her princes <8269 sar >,
 and her wise <2450 chakam > [men], her captains <6346 pechah >, 
and her rulers <5461 cagan >, and her mighty <1368 gibbowr > men:
 and they shall sleep <3462 yashen > a perpetual <5769 <owlam > 
sleep <8142 shehah >, and not wake <6974 quwts >, saith <5002 
n@>um > the King <4428 melek >, whose name <8034 shem > [is] the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



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

chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall be utterly broken <6209 
<arar >, and her high <1364 gaboahh > gates <8179 sha<ar > shall 
be burned <3341 yatsath > with fire <0784 >esh >; and the people 
<5971 <am > shall labour <3021 yaga< > in vain <7385 riyq >, and 
the folk <3816 l@om > in the fire <0784 >esh >, and they shall 
be weary <3286 ya<aph >.



 59. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded <6680 tsavah > 
Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 
Neriyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4271 Machceyah >, 
when he went <3212 yalak > with Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the 
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into Babylon <0894 
Babel > in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of 
his reign <4427 malak >. And [this] Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > 
[was] a quiet <4496 m@nuwchah > prince <8269 sar >.



 60 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > wrote <3789 kathab > in a book 
<5612 cepher > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that should 
come <0935 bow> > upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, [even <0853 >eth

that are written <3789 kathab > against <0413 >el > Babylon 
<0894 Babel >.



 61 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > to Seraiah 
<8304 S@rayah >, When thou comest <0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 
Babel >, and shalt see <7200 ra>ah >, and shalt read <7121 qara>

 62 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, 
thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > this <2088 
zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, to cut <3772 karath > it off, that 
none <1115 biltiy > shall remain <3427 yashab > in it, neither 
<1115 biltiy > man <0120 >adam > nor beast <0929 b@hemah >, but 
that it shall be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > for ever <5769 <owlam

 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <3615 kalah > of 
reading <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh > book <5612 cepher >, 
[that] thou shalt bind <7164 qarac > a stone <68> to it, and 
cast <7993 shalak > it into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek > 
of Euphrates <6578 P@rath >:



 64 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3602 kakah > shall 
Babylon <0894 Babel > sink <8257 shaqa< >, and shall not rise 
<6965 quwm > from the evil <7451 ra< > that I will bring <0935

<2008 hennah > far <2008 hennah > [are] the words <1697 dabar > 
of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



Jeremiah 52



 1. Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > [was] one <0259 >echad > and 
twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when 
he began to reign <4427 malak >, and he reigned <4427 malak > 
eleven years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >. 
And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Hamutal 
<2537 Chamuwtal > the daughter <1323 bath > of Jeremiah <3414 
Yirm@yah > of Libnah <3841 Libnah >.



 2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil <7451 ra< > in 
the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, according to 
all <3605 kol > that Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > had done 
<6213 <asah >.



 3 For through <5921 <al > the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > it came <1961 hayah > to pass in Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, till <5704 <ad > he 
had cast <7993 shalak > them out from his presence <6440 paniym 
>, that Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > rebelled <4775 marad > 
against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the ninth <8671 
t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >, in 
the tenth <6224 <asiyriy > month <2320 chodesh >, in the tenth 
<6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, [that] 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> >, he and all <3605 kol > 
his army <2428 chayil >, against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim >, and pitched <2583 chanah > against <5921 <al > 
it, and built <1129 banah > forts <1785 dayeq > against <5921 
<al > it round <5439 cabiyb > about.



 5 So the city <5892 <iyr > was besieged unto the eleventh year 
<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >.



 6 And in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, in 
the ninth <8672 tesha< > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, the 
famine <7458 ra<ab > was sore <2388 chazaq > in the city <5892 
<iyr >, so that there was no <3808 lo> > bread <3899 lechem > 
for the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >.



 7 Then the city <5892 <iyr > was broken <1234 baqa< > up, and 
all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > 
fled <1272 barach >, and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> 
> out of the city <5892 <iyr > by night <3915 layil > by the way 
<1870 derek > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > between <0996 beyn > 
the two <8147 sh@nayim > walls <2346 chowmah >, which <0834 
>aher > [was] by the king's <4428 melek > garden <1588 gan >; 
(now the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > [were] by the city <5892 <iyr 
> round <5439 cabiyb > about:) and they went <3212 yalak > by 
the way <1870 derek > of the plain <6160 <arabah >.



 8 But the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > 
pursued <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > the king <4428 melek 
>, and overtook <5381 nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the 
plains <6160 <arabah > of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >; and all 
<3605 kol > his army <2428 chayil > was scattered <6327 puwts > 
from him.



 9 Then they took <8610 taphas > the king <4428 melek >, and 
carried <5927 <alah > him up unto the king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776 
>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >; where he gave <1696 dabar > 
judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.



 10 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew 
<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah 
> before his eyes <5869 <ayin >: he slew <7819 shachat > also 
<1571 gam > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > in Riblah <7247 Riblah >.



 11 Then he put <5786 <avar > out the eyes <5869 <ayin > of 
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >; and the king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > bound <0631 >acar > him in chains <5178 
n@chosheth >, and carried <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 
Babel >, and put <5411 Nathiyn > him in prison till <5704 <ad > 
the day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >.



 12. Now in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh >, 
in the tenth <6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, 
which <1958 hiy > [was] the nineteenth year <8141 shaneh > of 
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel >, came <0935 bow> > Nebuzaradan <5018 
N@buwzaradan >, captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach >,
 [which] served <5975 <amad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel >, into Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,



 13 And burned <8313 saraph > the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 
bayith >; and all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and all <3605 kol > the houses 
<1004 bayith > of the great <1419 gadowl > [men], burned <8313 
saraph > he with fire <0784 >esh >:



 14 And all <3605 kol > the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans 
<3779 Kasday >, that [were] with the captain <7227 rab > of the 
guard <2876 tabbach >, brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats 
> all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > about.



 15 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab 
> of the guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away 
captive <1540 galah > [certain] of the poor <1803 dallah > of 
the people <5971 <am >, and the residue <3499 yether > of the 
people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar > in the city 
<5892 <iyr >, and those that fell <5307 naphal > away, that fell 
<5307 naphal > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel 
>, and the rest <3499 yether > of the multitude <0527 >amown >.



 16 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > 
of the guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > [certain] of 
the poor <1803 dallah > of the land <0776 >erets > for 
vinedressers <3755 korem > and for husbandmen <3009 yagab >.



 17 Also the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > 
that [were] in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, and the bases <4350 m@kownah >, and the brasen <5178 
n@chosheth > sea <3220 yam > that [was] in the house <1004 
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday 
> brake <7665 shabar >, and carried <5375 nasa> > all <3605 kol 
> the brass <5178 n@chosheth > of them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



 18 The caldrons <5518 ciyr > also, and the shovels <3257 ya< >, 
and the snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, and the bowls <4219 mizraq 
>, and the spoons <3709 kaph >, and all <3605 kol > the vessels 
<3627 k@liy > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > wherewith <0834 >aher

 19 And the basons <5592 caph >, and the firepans <4289 machtah 
>, and the bowls <4219 mizraq >, and the caldrons <5518 ciyr >, 
and the candlesticks <4501 m@nowrah >, and the spoons <3709 kaph

[was] of gold <2091 zahab > [in] gold <2091 zahab >, and [that] 
which <0834 >aher > [was] of silver <3701 keceph > [in] silver 
<3701 keceph >, took <3947 laqach > the captain <7227 rab > of 
the guard <2876 tabbach > away.



 20 The two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, one <0259 
>echad > sea <3220 yam >, and twelve brasen <5178 n@chosheth > 
bulls <1241 baqar > that [were] under <8478 tachath > the bases 
<4350 m@kownah >, which <0834 >aher > king <4428 melek > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah > in the house <1004 
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the brass <5178 n@chosheth 
> of all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 k@liy > 
was without <3808 lo> > weight <4948 mishqal >.



 21 And [concerning] the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, the height 
<6967 qowmah > of one <0259 >echad > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > 
[was] eighteen cubits <0520 >ammah >; and a fillet <2339 chuwt > 
of twelve cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 cabab > it; 
and the thickness <5672 <abiy > thereof [was] four <0702 >arba< 
> fingers <0676 >etsba< >: [it was] hollow <5014 nabab >.



 22 And a chapiter <3805 kothereth > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > 
[was] upon it; and the height <6967 qowmah > of one <0259 >echad 
> chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits 
<0520 >ammah >, with network <7639 s@bakah > and pomegranates 
<7416 rimmown > upon the chapiters <3805 kothereth > round <5439 
cabiyb > about, all <3605 kol > [of] brass <5178 n@chosheth >. 
The second <8145 sheniy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > also and the 
pomegranates <7416 rimmown > [were] like unto these <0428 >el-

 23 And there were ninety <8673 tish<iym > and six <8337 shesh > 
pomegranates <7416 rimmown > on a side <7307 ruwach >; [and] all 
<3605 kol > the pomegranates <7416 rimmown > upon the network 
<7639 s@bakah > [were] an hundred <3967 me>ah > round <5439 
cabiyb > about.



 24. And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > 
took <3947 laqach > Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the chief <7218 
ro>sh > priest <3548 kohen >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > 
the second <4932 mishneh > priest <3548 kohen >, and the three 
<7969 shalowsh > keepers <8104 shamar > of the door <5592 caph >:



 25 He took <3947 laqach > also out of the city <5892 <iyr > an 
eunuch <5631 cariyc >, which <0834 >aher > had <1961 hayah > the 
charge <6496 paqiyd > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 
milchamah >; and seven <7651 sheba< > men <0582 >enowsh > of 
them that were near <7200 ra>ah > the king's <4428 melek > 
person <6440 paniym >, which <0834 >aher > were found <4672 
matsa> > in the city <5892 <iyr >; and the principal <8269 sar > 
scribe <5608 caphar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >, who mustered 
<6633 tsaba> > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >;
 and threescore <7657 shib<iym. > men <0376 >iysh > of the 
people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, that were found 
<4672 matsa> > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr

 26 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > 
of the guard <2876 tabbach > took <3947 laqach > them, and 
brought <3212 yalak > them to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon 
<0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah >.



 27 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > smote 
<5221 nakah > them, and put them to death <4191 muwth > in 
Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0127 >adamah > of Hamath 
<2574 Chamath >. Thus Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was carried <1540 
galah > away captive <1540 galah > out of his own land <0127 
>adamah >.



 28 This <2088 zeh > [is] the people <5971 <am > whom <0834

twenty <6242 <esriym >:



 29 In the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar 
<5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > he carried away captive <1540 galah > 
from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > eight <8083 sh@moneh > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147 
sh@nayim > persons <5315 nephesh >:



 30 In the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > 
year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > 
Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > of the 
guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away captive <1540 
galah > of the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > seven <7651 sheba< > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > forty <0705 >arba<iym > and five <2568 
chamesh > persons <5315 nephesh >: all <3605 kol > the persons 
<5315 nephesh > [were] four <0702 >arba< > thousand <0505 >eleph

 31. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seven <7651 sheba<

captivity <1546 galuwth > of Jehoiachin <3078 Y@howyakiyn > king 
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, in the twelfth month 
<2320 chodesh >, in the five <2568 chamesh > and twentieth <6242 
<esriym > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, [that] 
Evilmerodach <0192 >Eviyl M@rodak > king <4428 melek > of 
Babylon <0894 Babel > in the [first] year <8141 shaneh > of his 
reign <4438 malkuwth > lifted <5375 nasa> > up the head <7218 
ro>sh > of Jehoiachin <3078 Y@howyakiyn > king <4428 melek > of 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and brought <3218 yekeq > him forth 
<3318 yatsa> > out of prison <3608 kele> >,



 32 And spake <1696 dabar > kindly <2896 towb > unto him, and 
set <5414 nathan > his throne <3678 kicce> > above <4605 ma<al > 
the throne <3678 kicce> > of the kings <4428 melek > that [were] 
with him in Babylon <0894 Babel >,



 33 And changed <8138 shanah > his prison <3608 kele> > garments 
<0899 beged >: and he did continually <8548 tamiyd > eat <0398

 34 And [for] his diet <0737 >aruchah >, there was a continual 
<8548 tamiyd > diet <0737 >aruchah > given <5414 nathan > him of 
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, every day <3117
