1:1 I am sought[01875][8738] of them that asked[07592][8804] not[03808] for me ; I am found[04672][8738] of them that sought[01245][8765] me not[03808]: I said[0559][8804], Behold me, behold me, unto a nation[01471] that was not called[07121][8795] by my name[08034].
1:2 I have spread out[06566][8765] my hands[03027] all the day[03117] unto a rebellious[05637][8802] people[05971], which walketh[01980][8802] in a way[01870] that was not good[02896], after[0310] their own thoughts[04284];
1:3 A people[05971] that provoketh me to anger[03707][8688] continually[08548] to my face[06440]; that sacrificeth[02076][8802] in gardens[01593], and burneth incense[06999][8764] upon altars of brick[03843]; upon...: Heb. upon bricks
1:4 Which remain[03427][8802] among the graves[06913], and lodge[03885][8799] in the monuments[05341][8803], which eat[0398][8802] swine's[02386] flesh[01320], and broth[04839][8675][06564] of abominable[06292] things is in their vessels[03627]; broth: or, pieces
1:5 Which say[0559][8802], Stand[07126][8798] by thyself, come not near[05066][8799] to me; for I am holier[06942][8804] than thou. These are a smoke[06227] in my nose[0639], a fire[0784] that burneth[03344][8802] all the day[03117]. nose: or, anger
1:6 Behold, it is written[03789][8803] before[06440] me: I will not keep silence[02814][8799], but will recompense[07999][8765], even recompense[07999][8765] into their bosom[02436],
1:7 Your iniquities[05771], and the iniquities[05771] of your fathers[01] together[03162], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], which have burned incense[06999][8765] upon the mountains[02022], and blasphemed[02778][8765] me upon the hills[01389]: therefore will I measure[04058][8804] their former[07223] work[06468] into their bosom[02436].
1:8 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], As the new wine[08492] is found[04672][8735] in the cluster[0811], and one saith[0559][8804], Destroy[07843][8686] it not; for a blessing[01293] is in it: so will I do[06213][8799] for my servants[05650]' sakes, that I may not destroy[07843][8687] them all.
1:9 And I will bring forth[03318][8689] a seed[02233] out of Jacob[03290], and out of Judah[03063] an inheritor[03423][8802] of my mountains[02022]: and mine elect[0972] shall inherit[03423][8804] it, and my servants[05650] shall dwell[07931][8799] there.
1:10 And Sharon[08289] shall be a fold[05116] of flocks[06629], and the valley[06010] of Achor[05911] a place for the herds[01241] to lie down in[07258], for my people[05971] that have sought[01875][8804] me.
1:11 But ye are they that forsake[05800][8802] the LORD[03068], that forget[07913] my holy[06944] mountain[02022], that prepare[06186][8802] a table[07979] for that troop[01409][8677][01408], and that furnish[04390][8764] the drink offering[04469] unto that number[04507]. troop: or, Gad number: or, Meni, a pagan god
1:12 Therefore will I number[04487][8804] you to the sword[02719], and ye shall all bow down[03766][8799] to the slaughter[02874]: because when I called[07121][8804], ye did not answer[06030][8804]; when I spake[01696][8765], ye did not hear[08085][8804]; but did[06213][8799] evil[07451] before mine eyes[05869], and did choose[0977][8804] that wherein I delighted[02654][8804] not.
1:13 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069], Behold, my servants[05650] shall eat[0398][8799], but ye shall be hungry[07456][8799]: behold, my servants[05650] shall drink[08354][8799], but ye shall be thirsty[06770][8799]: behold, my servants[05650] shall rejoice[08055][8799], but ye shall be ashamed[0954][8799]:
1:14 Behold, my servants[05650] shall sing[07442][8799] for joy[02898] of heart[03820], but ye shall cry[06817][8799] for sorrow[03511] of heart[03820], and shall howl[03213][8686] for vexation[07667] of spirit[07307]. vexation: Heb. breaking
1:15 And ye shall leave[03240][8689] your name[08034] for a curse[07621] unto my chosen[0972]: for the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] shall slay[04191][8689] thee, and call[07121][8799] his servants[05650] by another[0312] name[08034]:
1:16 That he who blesseth[01288][8693] himself in the earth[0776] shall bless[01288][8691] himself in the God[0430] of truth[0543]; and he that sweareth[07650][8737] in the earth[0776] shall swear[07650][8735] by the God[0430] of truth[0543]; because the former[07223] troubles[06869] are forgotten[07911][8738], and because they are hid[05641][8738] from mine eyes[05869].
1:17 For, behold, I create[01254][8802] new[02319] heavens[08064] and a new[02319] earth[0776]: and the former[07223] shall not be remembered[02142][8735], nor come[05927][8799] into mind[03820]. come...: Heb. come upon the heart
1:18 But be ye glad[07797][8798] and rejoice[01523][8798] for ever[05703] in that which I create[01254][8802]: for, behold, I create[01254][8802] Jerusalem[03389] a rejoicing[01525], and her people[05971] a joy[04885].
1:19 And I will rejoice[01523][8804] in Jerusalem[03389], and joy[07797][8804] in my people[05971]: and the voice[06963] of weeping[01065] shall be no more heard[08085][8735] in her, nor the voice[06963] of crying[02201].
2:1 There shall be no more thence an infant[05764] of days[03117], nor an old man[02205] that hath not filled[04390][8762] his days[03117]: for the child[05288] shall die[04191][8799] an hundred[03967] years[08141] old[01121]; but the sinner[02398][8802] being an hundred[03967] years[08141] old[01121] shall be accursed[07043][8792].
2:2 And they shall build[01129][8804] houses[01004], and inhabit[03427][8804] them ; and they shall plant[05193][8804] vineyards[03754], and eat[0398][8804] the fruit[06529] of them.
2:3 They shall not build[01129][8799], and another[0312] inhabit[03427][8799]; they shall not plant[05193][8799], and another[0312] eat[0398][8799]: for as the days[03117] of a tree[06086] are the days[03117] of my people[05971], and mine elect[0972] shall long enjoy[01086][8762] the work[04639] of their hands[03027]. shall long...: Heb. shall make them continue long, or, shall wear out
2:4 They shall not labour[03021][8799] in vain[07385], nor bring forth[03205][8799] for trouble[0928]; for they are the seed[02233] of the blessed[01288][8803] of the LORD[03068], and their offspring[06631] with them.
2:5 And it shall come to pass, that before they call[07121][8799], I will answer[06030][8799]; and while they are yet speaking[01696][8764], I will hear[08085][8799].
2:6 The wolf[02061] and the lamb[02924] shall feed[07462][8799] together[0259], and the lion[0738] shall eat[0398][8799] straw[08401] like the bullock[01241]: and dust[06083] shall be the serpent's[05175] meat[03899]. They shall not hurt[07489][8686] nor destroy[07843][8686] in all my holy[06944] mountain[02022], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
2:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], The heaven[08064] is my throne[03678], and the earth[0776] is my footstool[07272][01916]: where is the house[01004] that ye build[01129][8799] unto me? and where is the place[04725] of my rest[04496]?
2:8 For all those things hath mine hand[03027] made[06213][8804], and all those things have been, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: but to this man will I look[05027][8686], even to him that is poor[06041] and of a contrite[05223] spirit[07307], and trembleth[02730] at my word[01697].
2:9 He that killeth[07819][8802] an ox[07794] is as if he slew[05221][8688] a man[0376]; he that sacrificeth[02076][8802] a lamb[07716], as if he cut off[06202][00] a dog's[03611] neck[06202][8802]; he that offereth[05927][8688] an oblation[04503], as if he offered swine's[02386] blood[01818]; he that burneth[02142][8688] incense[03828], as if he blessed[01288][8764] an idol[0205]. Yea, they have chosen[0977][8804] their own ways[01870], and their soul[05315] delighteth[02654][8804] in their abominations[08251]. lamb: or, kid burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of
2:10 I also will choose[0977][8799] their delusions[08586], and will bring[0935][8686] their fears[04035] upon them; because when I called[07121][8804], none did answer[06030][8802]; when I spake[01696][8765], they did not hear[08085][8804]: but they did[06213][8799] evil[07451] before mine eyes[05869], and chose[0977][8804] that in which I delighted[02654][8804] not. delusions: or, devices
2:11 Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], ye that tremble[02730] at his word[01697]; Your brethren[0251] that hated[08130][8802] you, that cast you out[05077][8764] for my name's[08034] sake, said[0559][8804], Let the LORD[03068] be glorified[03513][8799]: but he shall appear[07200][8737] to your joy[08057], and they shall be ashamed[0954][8799].
2:12 A voice[06963] of noise[07588] from the city[05892], a voice[06963] from the temple[01964], a voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] that rendereth[07999][8764] recompence[01576] to his enemies[0341][8802].
2:13 Before she travailed[02342][8799], she brought forth[03205][8804]; before her pain[02256] came[0935][8799], she was delivered[04422][8689] of a man child[02145].
2:14 Who hath heard[08085][8804] such a thing? who hath seen[07200][8804] such things? Shall the earth[0776] be made to bring forth[02342][8714] in one[0259] day[03117]? or shall a nation[01471] be born[03205][8735] at once[06471]? for as soon as[01571] Zion[06726] travailed[02342][8804], she brought forth[03205][8804] her children[01121].
2:15 Shall I bring to the birth[07665][8686], and not cause to bring forth[03205][8686]? saith[0559][8799] the LORD[03068]: shall I[0589] cause to bring forth[03205][8688], and shut[06113][8804] the womb ? saith[0559][8804] thy God[0430]. not...: or, not beget?
2:16 Rejoice[08055][8798] ye with Jerusalem[03389], and be glad[01523][8798] with her, all ye that love[0157][8802] her: rejoice[07797][8798] for joy[04885] with her, all ye that mourn[056][8693] for her:
2:17 That ye may suck[03243][8799], and be satisfied[07646][8804] with the breasts[07699] of her consolations[08575]; that ye may milk out[04711][8799], and be delighted[06026][8694] with the abundance[02123] of her glory[03519]. abundance: or, brightness
2:18 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, I will extend[05186][8802] peace[07965] to her like a river[05104], and the glory[03519] of the Gentiles[01471] like a flowing[07857][8802] stream[05158]: then shall ye suck[03243][8804], ye shall be borne[05375][8735] upon her sides[06654], and be dandled[08173][8746] upon her knees[01290].
2:19 As one[0376] whom his mother[0517] comforteth[05162][8762], so will I comfort[05162][8762] you; and ye shall be comforted[05162][8792] in Jerusalem[03389].
2:20 And when ye see[07200][8804] this , your heart[03820] shall rejoice[07797][8804], and your bones[06106] shall flourish[06524][8799] like an herb[01877]: and the hand[03027] of the LORD[03068] shall be known[03045][8738] toward his servants[05650], and his indignation[02194][8804] toward his enemies[0341][8802].
2:21 For, behold, the LORD[03068] will come[0935][8799] with fire[0784], and with his chariots[04818] like a whirlwind[05492], to render[07725][8687] his anger[0639] with fury[02534], and his rebuke[01606] with flames[03851] of fire[0784].
2:22 For by fire[0784] and by his sword[02719] will the LORD[03068] plead[08199][8737] with all flesh[01320]: and the slain[02491] of the LORD[03068] shall be many[07231][8804].
2:23 They that sanctify[06942][8693] themselves, and purify[02891][8693] themselves in the gardens[01593] behind[0310] one[0259] tree in the midst[08432], eating[0398][8802] swine's[02386] flesh[01320], and the abomination[08263], and the mouse[05909], shall be consumed[05486][8799] together[03162], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. behind...: or, one after another
2:24 For I know their works[04639] and their thoughts[04284]: it shall come[0935][8802], that I will gather[06908][8763] all nations[01471] and tongues[03956]; and they shall come[0935][8804], and see[07200][8804] my glory[03519].
2:25 And I will set[07760][8804] a sign[0226] among them, and I will send[07971][8765] those that escape[06412] of them unto the nations[01471], to Tarshish[08659], Pul[06322], and Lud[03865], that draw[04900][8802] the bow[07198], to Tubal[08422], and Javan[03120], to the isles[0339] afar off[07350], that have not heard[08085][8804] my fame[08088], neither have seen[07200][8804] my glory[03519]; and they shall declare[05046][8689] my glory[03519] among the Gentiles[01471].
2:26 And they shall bring[0935][8689] all your brethren[0251] for an offering[04503] unto the LORD[03068] out of all nations[01471] upon horses[05483], and in chariots[07393], and in litters[06632], and upon mules[06505], and upon swift beasts[03753], to my holy[06944] mountain[02022] Jerusalem[03389], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], as the children[01121] of Israel[03478] bring[0935][8686] an offering[04503] in a clean[02889] vessel[03627] into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]. litters: or, coaches
2:27 And I will also take[03947][8799] of them for priests[03548] and for Levites[03881], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
2:28 For as the new[02319] heavens[08064] and the new[02319] earth[0776], which I will make[06213][8802], shall remain[05975][8802] before[06440] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], so shall your seed[02233] and your name[08034] remain[05975][8799].
2:29 And it shall come to pass, that from[01767] one new moon[02320] to another[02320], and from[01767] one sabbath[07676] to another[07676], shall all flesh[01320] come[0935][8799] to worship[07812][8692] before[06440] me, saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]. from one new...: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath

2:31 The words[01697] of Jeremiah[03414] the son[01121] of Hilkiah[02518], of the priests[03548] that were in Anathoth[06068] in the land[0776] of Benjamin[01144]:
2:32 To whom the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came in the days[03117] of Josiah[02977] the son[01121] of Amon[0526] king[04428] of Judah[03063], in the thirteenth[07969][06240] year[08141] of his reign[04427][8800].
2:33 It came also in the days[03117] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], unto the end[08552][8800] of the eleventh[06249][06240] year[08141] of Zedekiah[06667] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], unto the carrying away[01540][00] of Jerusalem[03389] captive[01540][8800] in the fifth[02549] month[02320].
2:34 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
2:35 Before[02962] I formed[03335][8799] thee in the belly[0990] I knew[03045][8804] thee; and before thou camest forth[03318][8799] out of the womb[07358] I sanctified[06942][8689] thee, and I ordained[05414][8804] thee a prophet[05030] unto the nations[01471]. ordained: Heb. gave
2:36 Then said[0559][8799] I, Ah[0162], Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! behold, I cannot[03045][8804] speak[01696][8763]: for I am a child[05288].
2:37 But the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto me, Say[0559][8799] not, I am a child[05288]: for thou shalt go[03212][8799] to all that I shall send[07971][8799] thee, and whatsoever I command[06680][8762] thee thou shalt speak[01696][8762].
3:1 Be not afraid[03372][8799] of their faces[06440]: for I am with thee to deliver[05337][8687] thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
3:2 Then the LORD[03068] put forth[07971][8799] his hand[03027], and touched[05060][8686] my mouth[06310]. And the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto me, Behold, I have put[05414][8804] my words[01697] in thy mouth[06310].
3:3 See[07200][8798], I have this day[03117] set[06485][8689] thee over the nations[01471] and over the kingdoms[04467], to root out[05428][8800], and to pull down[05422][8800], and to destroy[06][8687], and to throw down[02040][8800], to build[01129][8800], and to plant[05193][8800].

3:6 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me the second time[08145], saying[0559][8800], What seest[07200][8802] thou? And I said[0559][8799], I see[07200][8802] a seething[05301][8803] pot[05518]; and the face[06440] thereof is toward[06440] the north[06828]. toward...: Heb. from the face of the north

3:9 And I will utter[01696][8765] my judgments[04941] against them touching[05921] all their wickedness[07451], who have forsaken[05800][8804] me, and have burned incense[06999][8762] unto other[0312] gods[0430], and worshipped[07812][8691] the works[04639] of their own hands[03027].
3:10 Thou therefore gird up[0247][8799] thy loins[04975], and arise[06965][8804], and speak[01696][8765] unto them all that I command[06680][8762] thee: be not dismayed[02865][8735] at their faces[06440], lest I confound[02865][8686] thee before[06440] them. confound: or, break to pieces

3:12 And they shall fight[03898][8738] against thee; but they shall not prevail[03201][8799] against thee; for I am with thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], to deliver[05337][8687] thee.
3:13 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to me, saying[0559][8800],

3:18 Neither said[0559][8804] they, Where is the LORD[03068] that brought us up[05927][8688] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], that led[03212][8688] us through the wilderness[04057], through a land[0776] of deserts[06160] and of pits[07745], through a land[0776] of drought[06723], and of the shadow of death[06757], through a land[0776] that no man[0376] passed through[05674][8804], and where no man[0120] dwelt[03427][8804]?
3:19 And I brought[0935][8686] you into a plentiful[03759] country[0776], to eat[0398][8800] the fruit[06529] thereof and the goodness[02898] thereof; but when ye entered[0935][8799], ye defiled[02930][8762] my land[0776], and made[07760][8804] mine heritage[05159] an abomination[08441]. a plentiful...: or, the land of Carmel

3:21 Wherefore I will yet plead[07378][8799] with you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and with your children's[01121] children[01121] will I plead[07378][8799].

3:24 Be astonished[08074][8798], O ye heavens[08064], at this, and be horribly afraid[08175][8798], be ye very[03966] desolate[02717][8798], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
3:25 For my people[05971] have committed[06213][8804] two[08147] evils[07451]; they have forsaken[05800][8804] me the fountain[04726] of living[02416] waters[04325], and hewed them out[02672][8800] cisterns[0877], broken[07665][8737] cisterns[0877], that can hold[03557][8686] no water[04325].

5:1 And I saw[07200][8799], when for all the causes[0182] whereby backsliding[04878] Israel[03478] committed adultery[05003][8765] I had put her away[07971][8765], and given[05414][8799] her a bill[05612] of divorce[03748]; yet her treacherous[0898][8802] sister[0269] Judah[03063] feared[03372][8804] not, but went[03212][8799] and played the harlot[02181][8799] also.
5:2 And it came to pass through the lightness[06963] of her whoredom[02184], that she defiled[02610][8799] the land[0776], and committed adultery[05003][8799] with stones[068] and with stocks[06086]. lightness: or, fame

5:5 Go[01980][8800] and proclaim[07121][8804] these words[01697] toward the north[06828], and say[0559][8804], Return[07725][8798], thou backsliding[04878] Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and I will not cause mine anger[06440] to fall[05307][8686] upon you: for I am merciful[02623], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and I will not keep[05201][8799] anger for ever[05769].
5:6 Only acknowledge[03045][8798] thine iniquity[05771], that thou hast transgressed[06586][8804] against the LORD[03068] thy God[0430], and hast scattered[06340][8762] thy ways[01870] to the strangers[02114][8801] under every green[07488] tree[06086], and ye have not obeyed[08085][8804] my voice[06963], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
5:7 Turn[07725][8798], O backsliding[07726] children[01121], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; for I am married[01166][8804] unto you: and I will take[03947][8804] you one[0259] of a city[05892], and two[08147] of a family[04940], and I will bring[0935][8689] you to Zion[06726]:
5:8 And I will give[05414][8804] you pastors[07462][8802] according to mine heart[03820], which shall feed[07462][8804] you with knowledge[01844] and understanding[07919][8687].
5:9 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied[07235][8799] and increased[06509][8804] in the land[0776], in those days[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], they shall say[0559][8799] no more, The ark[0727] of the covenant[01285] of the LORD[03068]: neither shall it come[05927][8799] to mind[03820]: neither shall they remember[02142][8799] it; neither shall they visit[06485][8799] it ; neither shall that be done[06213][8735] any more. come to mind: Heb. come upon the heart that...: or, it be magnified
5:10 At that time[06256] they shall call[07121][8799] Jerusalem[03389] the throne[03678] of the LORD[03068]; and all the nations[01471] shall be gathered[06960][8738] unto it, to the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], to Jerusalem[03389]: neither shall they walk[03212][8799] any more after[0310] the imagination[08307] of their evil[07451] heart[03820]. imagination: or, stubbornness
5:11 In those days[03117] the house[01004] of Judah[03063] shall walk[03212][8799] with the house[01004] of Israel[03478], and they shall come[0935][8799] together[03162] out of the land[0776] of the north[06828] to the land[0776] that I have given for an inheritance[05157][8689] unto your fathers[01]. with: or, to given...: or, caused your fathers to possess
5:12 But I said[0559][8804], How shall I put[07896][8799] thee among the children[01121], and give[05414][8799] thee a pleasant[02532] land[0776], a goodly[06643] heritage[05159] of the hosts[06635] of nations[01471]? and I said[0559][8799], Thou shalt call[07121][8799] me, My father[01]; and shalt not turn away[07725][8799] from me[0310]. from me: Heb. from after me a goodly...: Heb. an heritage of glory, or, beauty pleasant...: Heb. land of desire
5:13 Surely[0403] as a wife[0802] treacherously[0898][8804] departeth from her husband[07453], so have ye dealt treacherously[0898][8804] with me, O house[01004] of Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. husband: Heb. friend
5:14 A voice[06963] was heard[08085][8738] upon the high places[08205], weeping[01065] and supplications[08469] of the children[01121] of Israel[03478]: for they have perverted[05753][8689] their way[01870], and  they have forgotten[07911][8804] the LORD[03068] their God[0430].
5:15 Return[07725][8798], ye backsliding[07726] children[01121], and I will heal[07495][8799] your backslidings[04878]. Behold, we come[0857][8804] unto thee; for thou art the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
5:16 Truly[0403] in vain[08267] is salvation hoped for from the hills[01389], and from the multitude[01995] of mountains[02022]: truly[0403] in the LORD[03068] our God[0430] is the salvation[08668] of Israel[03478].
5:17 For shame[01322] hath devoured[0398][8804] the labour[03018] of our fathers[01] from our youth[05271]; their flocks[06629] and their herds[01241], their sons[01121] and their daughters[01323].
5:18 We lie down[07901][8799] in our shame[01322], and our confusion[03639] covereth[03680][8762] us: for we have sinned[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068] our God[0430], we and our fathers[01], from our youth[05271] even unto this day[03117], and have not obeyed[08085][8804] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
5:19 If thou wilt return[07725][8799], O Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], return[07725][8799] unto me: and if thou wilt put away[05493][8686] thine abominations[08251] out of my sight[06440], then shalt thou not remove[05110][8799].
5:20 And thou shalt swear[07650][8738], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416], in truth[0571], in judgment[04941], and in righteousness[06666]; and the nations[01471] shall bless[01288][8694] themselves in him, and in him shall they glory[01984][8691].
5:21 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] to the men[0376] of Judah[03063] and Jerusalem[03389], Break up[05214][8798] your fallow ground[05215], and sow[02232][8799] not among thorns[06975].
5:22 Circumcise[04135][8734] yourselves to the LORD[03068], and take away[05493][8685] the foreskins[06190] of your heart[03824], ye men[0376] of Judah[03063] and inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389]: lest my fury[02534] come forth[03318][8799] like fire[0784], and burn[01197][8804] that none can quench[03518][8764] it , because[06440] of the evil[07455] of your doings[04611].
5:23 Declare[05046][8685] ye in Judah[03063], and publish[08085][8685] in Jerusalem[03389]; and say[0559][8798], Blow[08628][8798] ye the trumpet[07782] in the land[0776]: cry[07121][8798], gather together[04390][8761], and say[0559][8798], Assemble[0622][8734] yourselves, and let us go[0935][8799] into the defenced[04013] cities[05892].
5:24 Set up[05375][8798] the standard[05251] toward Zion[06726]: retire[05756][8685], stay[05975][8799] not: for I will bring[0935][8688] evil[07451] from the north[06828], and a great[01419] destruction[07667]. retire: or, strengthen destruction: Heb. breaking
5:25 The lion[0738] is come up[05927][8804] from his thicket[05441], and the destroyer[07843][8688] of the Gentiles[01471] is on his way[05265][8804]; he is gone forth[03318][8804] from his place[04725] to make[07760][8800] thy land[0776] desolate[08047]; and thy cities[05892] shall be laid waste[05327][8799], without an inhabitant[03427][8802].
5:26 For this gird[02296][8798] you with sackcloth[08242], lament[05594][8798] and howl[03213][8685]: for the fierce[02740] anger[0639] of the LORD[03068] is not turned back[07725][8804] from us.
5:27 And it shall come to pass at that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that the heart[03820] of the king[04428] shall perish[06][8799], and the heart[03820] of the princes[08269]; and the priests[03548] shall be astonished[08074][8738], and the prophets[05030] shall wonder[08539][8799].
5:28 Then said[0559][8799] I, Ah[0162], Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! surely[0403] thou hast greatly[05377][8687] deceived[05377][8689] this people[05971] and Jerusalem[03389], saying[0559][8800], Ye shall have peace[07965]; whereas the sword[02719] reacheth[05060][8804] unto the soul[05315].
5:29 At that time[06256] shall it be said[0559][8735] to this people[05971] and to Jerusalem[03389], A dry[06703] wind[07307] of the high places[08205] in the wilderness[04057] toward[01870] the daughter[01323] of my people[05971], not to fan[02219][8800], nor to cleanse[01305][8687],
5:30 Even a full[04392] wind[07307] from those places shall come[0935][8799] unto me: now also will I give[01696][8762] sentence[04941] against them. a full...: or, a fuller wind than those give...: Heb. utter judgments
5:31 Behold, he shall come up[05927][8799] as clouds[06051], and his chariots[04818] shall be as a whirlwind[05492]: his horses[05483] are swifter[07043][8804] than eagles[05404]. Woe[0188] unto us! for we are spoiled[07703][8795].
6:1 O Jerusalem[03389], wash[03526][8761] thine heart[03820] from wickedness[07451], that thou mayest be saved[03467][8735]. How long shall thy vain[0205] thoughts[04284] lodge[03885][8686] within[07130] thee?
6:2 For a voice[06963] declareth[05046][8688] from Dan[01835], and publisheth[08085][8688] affliction[0205] from mount[02022] Ephraim[0669].
6:3 Make ye mention[02142][8685] to the nations[01471]; behold, publish[08085][8685] against Jerusalem[03389], that watchers[05341][8802] come[0935][8802] from a far[04801] country[0776], and give out[05414][8799] their voice[06963] against the cities[05892] of Judah[03063].
6:4 As keepers[08104][8802] of a field[07704], are they against her round about[05439]; because she hath been rebellious[04784][8804] against me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
6:5 Thy way[01870] and thy doings[04611] have procured[06213][8804] these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness[07451], because it is bitter[04751], because it reacheth[05060][8804] unto thine heart[03820].
6:6 My bowels[04578], my bowels[04578]! I am pained[02342][8799][8675][03176][8686] at my very[07023] heart[03820]; my heart[03820] maketh a noise[01993][8802] in me; I cannot hold my peace[02790][8686], because thou hast heard[08085][8804], O my soul[05315], the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782], the alarm[08643] of war[04421]. my very...: Heb. the walls of my heart
6:7 Destruction[07667] upon destruction[07667] is cried[07121][8738]; for the whole land[0776] is spoiled[07703][8795]: suddenly[06597] are my tents[0168] spoiled[07703][8795], and my curtains[03407] in a moment[07281].
6:8 How long shall I see[07200][8799] the standard[05251], and hear[08085][8799] the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782]?
6:9 For my people[05971] is foolish[0191], they have not known[03045][8804] me; they are sottish[05530] children[01121], and they have none understanding[0995][8737]: they are wise[02450] to do evil[07489][8687], but to do good[03190][8687] they have no knowledge[03045][8804].
6:10 I beheld[07200][8804] the earth[0776], and, lo, it was without form[08414], and void[0922]; and the heavens[08064], and they had no light[0216].
6:11 I beheld[07200][8804] the mountains[02022], and, lo, they trembled[07493][8801], and all the hills[01389] moved lightly[07043][8701].
6:12 I beheld[07200][8804], and, lo, there was no man[0120], and all the birds[05775] of the heavens[08064] were fled[05074][8804].
6:13 I beheld[07200][8804], and, lo, the fruitful place[03759] was a wilderness[04057], and all the cities[05892] thereof were broken down[05422][8738] at the presence[06440] of the LORD[03068], and by his fierce[02740] anger[0639].
6:14 For thus hath the LORD[03068] said[0559][8804], The whole land[0776] shall be desolate[08077]; yet will I not make[06213][8799] a full end[03617].
6:15 For this shall the earth[0776] mourn[056][8799], and the heavens[08064] above[04605] be black[06937][8804]: because I have spoken[01696][8765] it , I have purposed[02161][8804] it , and will not repent[05162][8738], neither will I turn back[07725][8799] from it.
6:16 The whole city[05892] shall flee[01272][8802] for the noise[06963] of the horsemen[06571] and bowmen[07198][07411][8802]; they shall go[0935][8804] into thickets[05645], and climb up[05927][8804] upon the rocks[03710]: every city[05892] shall be forsaken[05800][8803], and not a man[0376] dwell[03427][8802] therein[02004].
6:17 And when thou art spoiled[07703][8803], what wilt thou do[06213][8799]? Though thou clothest[03847][8799] thyself with crimson[08144], though thou deckest[05710][8799] thee with ornaments[05716] of gold[02091], though thou rentest[07167][8799] thy face[05869] with painting[06320], in vain[07723] shalt thou make thyself fair[03302][8691]; thy lovers[05689][8802] will despise[03988][8804] thee, they will seek[01245][8762] thy life[05315]. face: Heb. eyes
6:18 For I have heard[08085][8804] a voice[06963] as of a woman in travail[02470][8802], and the anguish[06869] as of her that bringeth forth her first child[01069][8688], the voice[06963] of the daughter[01323] of Zion[06726], that bewaileth[03306][8691] herself, that spreadeth[06566][8762] her hands[03709], saying , Woe[0188] is me now! for my soul[05315] is wearied[05888][8804] because of murderers[02026][8802].
6:19 Run ye to and fro[07751][8786] through the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389], and see[07200][8798] now, and know[03045][8798], and seek[01245][8761] in the broad places[07339] thereof, if ye can find[04672][8799] a man[0376], if there be[03426] any that executeth[06213][8802] judgment[04941], that seeketh[01245][8764] the truth[0530]; and I will pardon[05545][8799] it.
6:20 And though they say[0559][8799], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416]; surely they swear[07650][8735] falsely[08267].
6:21 O LORD[03068], are not thine eyes[05869] upon the truth[0530]? thou hast stricken[05221][8689] them, but they have not grieved[02342][8804]; thou hast consumed[03615][8765] them, but they have refused[03985][8765] to receive[03947][8800] correction[04148]: they have made their faces[06440] harder[02388][8765] than a rock[05553]; they have refused[03985][8765] to return[07725][8800].
6:22 Therefore I said[0559][8804], Surely these are poor[01800]; they are foolish[02973][8738]: for they know[03045][8804] not the way[01870] of the LORD[03068], nor the judgment[04941] of their God[0430].
6:23 I will get[03212][8799] me unto the great men[01419], and will speak[01696][8762] unto them; for they have known[03045][8804] the way[01870] of the LORD[03068], and the judgment[04941] of their God[0430]: but these have altogether[03162] broken[07665][8804] the yoke[05923], and burst[05423][8765] the bonds[04147].
6:24 Wherefore a lion[0738] out of the forest[03293] shall slay[05221][8689] them, and a wolf[02061] of the evenings[06160] shall spoil[07703][8799] them, a leopard[05246] shall watch[08245][8802] over their cities[05892]: every one that goeth out[03318][8802] thence shall[02007] be torn in pieces[02963][8735]: because their transgressions[06588] are many[07231][8804], and their backslidings[04878] are increased[06105][8804]. evenings: or, deserts are increased: Heb. are strong
6:25 How[0335] shall I pardon[05545][8799] thee for this[02063]? thy children[01121] have forsaken[05800][8804] me, and sworn[07650][8735] by them that are no[03808] gods[0430]: when I had fed them to the full[07650][8686], they then committed adultery[05003][8799], and assembled themselves by troops[01413][8704] in the harlots[02181][8802]' houses[01004].
6:26 They were as fed[02109][8716] horses[05483] in the morning[07904][8688]: every one[0376] neighed[06670][8799] after his neighbour's[07453] wife[0802].
6:27 Shall I not visit[06485][8799] for these things ? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: and shall not my soul[05315] be avenged[05358][8691] on such a nation[01471] as this?
6:28 Go ye up[05927][8798] upon her walls[08284], and destroy[07843][8761]; but make[06213][8799] not a full end[03617]: take away[05493][8685] her battlements[05189]; for they are not the LORD'S[03068].
6:29 For the house[01004] of Israel[03478] and the house[01004] of Judah[03063] have dealt very[0898][8800] treacherously[0898][8804] against me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
6:30 They have belied[03584][8765] the LORD[03068], and said[0559][8799], It is not he; neither shall evil[07451] come[0935][8799] upon us; neither shall we see[07200][8799] sword[02719] nor famine[07458]:
7:1 And the prophets[05030] shall become wind[07307], and the word[01696][8763] is not in them: thus shall it be done[06213][8735] unto them.
7:2 Wherefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of hosts[06635], Because ye speak[01696][8763] this word[01697], behold, I will make[05414][8802] my words[01697] in thy mouth[06310] fire[0784], and this people[05971] wood[06086], and it shall devour[0398][8804] them.
7:3 Lo, I will bring[0935][8688] a nation[01471] upon you from far[04801], O house[01004] of Israel[03478], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: it is a mighty[0386] nation[01471], it is an ancient[05769] nation[01471], a nation[01471] whose language[03956] thou knowest[03045][8799] not, neither understandest[08085][8799] what they say[01696][8762].
7:4 Their quiver[0827] is as an open[06605][8803] sepulchre[06913], they are all mighty men[01368].
7:5 And they shall eat up[0398][8804] thine harvest[07105], and thy bread[03899], which thy sons[01121] and thy daughters[01323] should eat[0398][8799]: they shall eat up[0398][8799] thy flocks[06629] and thine herds[01241]: they shall eat up[0398][8799] thy vines[01612] and thy fig trees[08384]: they shall impoverish[07567][8779] thy fenced[04013] cities[05892], wherein thou[02007] trustedst[0982][8802], with the sword[02719].
7:6 Nevertheless in those days[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], I will not make[06213][8799] a full end[03617] with you.
7:7 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say[0559][8799], Wherefore[08478][04100] doeth[06213][8804] the LORD[03068] our God[0430] all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer[0559][8804] them, Like as ye have forsaken[05800][8804] me, and served[05647][8799] strange[05236] gods[0430] in your land[0776], so shall ye serve[05647][8799] strangers[02114][8801] in a land[0776] that is not yours.
7:8 Declare[05046][8685] this in the house[01004] of Jacob[03290], and publish[08085][8685] it in Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800],
7:9 Hear[08085][8798] now this, O foolish[05530] people[05971], and without understanding[03820]; which have eyes[05869], and see[07200][8799] not; which have ears[0241], and hear[08085][8799] not: understanding: Heb. heart
7:10 Fear[03372][8799] ye not me? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: will ye not tremble[02342][8799] at my presence[06440], which have placed[07760][8804] the sand[02344] for  the bound[01366] of the sea[03220] by a perpetual[05769] decree[02706], that it cannot pass[05674][8799] it: and though the waves[01530] thereof toss[01607][8691] themselves, yet can they not prevail[03201][8799]; though they roar[01993][8804], yet can they not pass over[05674][8799] it?
7:11 But this people[05971] hath a revolting[05637][8802] and a rebellious[04784][8802] heart[03820]; they are revolted[05493][8804] and gone[03212][8799].
7:12 Neither say[0559][8804] they in their heart[03824], Let us now fear[03372][8799] the LORD[03068] our God[0430], that giveth[05414][8802] rain[01653], both the former[03138] and the latter[04456], in his season[06256]: he reserveth[08104][8799] unto us the appointed[02708] weeks[07620] of the harvest[07105].
7:13 Your iniquities[05771] have turned away[05186][8689] these things , and your sins[02403] have withholden[04513][8804] good[02896] things from you.
7:14 For among my people[05971] are found[04672][8738] wicked[07563] men : they lay wait[07789][8799], as he that setteth[07918][8800] snares[03353]; they set[05324][8689] a trap[04889], they catch[03920][8799] men[0582]. they lay...: or, they pry as fowlers lie in wait
7:15 As a cage[03619] is full[04392] of birds[05775], so are their houses[01004] full[04392] of deceit[04820]: therefore they are become great[01431][8804], and waxen rich[06238][8686]. cage: or, coop
7:16 They are waxen fat[08080][8804], they shine[06245][8804]: yea, they overpass[05674][8804] the deeds[01697] of the wicked[07451]: they judge[01777][8804] not the cause[01779], the cause of the fatherless[03490], yet they prosper[06743][8686]; and the right[04941] of the needy[034] do they not judge[08199][8804].
7:17 Shall I not visit[06485][8799] for these things ? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: shall not my soul[05315] be avenged[05358][8691] on such a nation[01471] as this?
7:18 A wonderful[08047] and horrible thing[08186] is committed[01961][8738] in the land[0776]; A wonderful...: or, Astonishment and filthiness
7:19 The prophets[05030] prophesy[05012][8738] falsely[08267], and the priests[03548] bear rule[07287][8799] by their means[03027]; and my people[05971] love[0157][8804] to have it  so: and what will ye do[06213][8799] in the end[0319] thereof? bear...: or, take into their hands
7:20 O ye children[01121] of Benjamin[01144], gather yourselves to flee[05756][8685] out of the midst[07130] of Jerusalem[03389], and blow[08628][8798] the trumpet[07782] in Tekoa[08620], and set up[05375][8798] a sign[04864] of fire in Bethhaccerem[01021]: for evil[07451] appeareth[08259][8738] out of the north[06828], and great[01419] destruction[07667].
7:21 I have likened[01820][8804] the daughter[01323] of Zion[06726] to a comely[05116] and delicate[06026][8794] woman . comely: or, dwelling at home
7:22 The shepherds[07462][8802] with their flocks[05739] shall come[0935][8799] unto her; they shall pitch[08628][8804] their tents[0168] against her round about[05439]; they shall feed[07462][8804] every one[0376] in his place[03027].
7:23 Prepare[06942][8761] ye war[04421] against her; arise[06965][8798], and let us go up[05927][8799] at noon[06672]. Woe[0188] unto us! for the day[03117] goeth away[06437][8804], for the shadows[06752] of the evening[06153] are stretched out[05186][8735].
7:24 Arise[06965][8798], and let us go[05927][8799] by night[03915], and let us destroy[07843][8686] her palaces[0759].
7:25 For thus hath the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] said[0559][8804], Hew ye down[03772][8798] trees[06097], and cast[08210][8798] a mount[05550] against Jerusalem[03389]: this is  the city[05892] to be visited[06485][8717]; she is wholly oppression[06233] in the midst[07130] of her. cast...: or, pour out the engine of shot
7:26 As a fountain[0953] casteth out[06979][8687] her waters[04325], so she casteth out[06979][8689] her wickedness[07451]: violence[02555] and spoil[07701] is heard[08085][8735] in her; before me[06440] continually[08548]  is grief[02483] and wounds[04347].
7:27 Be thou instructed[03256][8734], O Jerusalem[03389], lest my soul[05315] depart[03363][8799] from thee; lest I make[07760][8799] thee desolate[08077], a land[0776] not inhabited[03427][8738]. depart: Heb. be loosed, or, disjointed
7:28 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], They shall throughly[05953][8780] glean[05953][8779] the remnant[07611] of Israel[03478] as a vine[01612]: turn back[07725][8685] thine hand[03027] as a grapegatherer[01219][8802] into the baskets[05552].
7:29 To whom shall I speak[01696][8762], and give warning[05749][8686], that they may hear[08085][8799]? behold, their ear[0241] is uncircumcised[06189], and they cannot[03201][8799] hearken[07181][8687]: behold, the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] is unto them a reproach[02781]; they have no delight[02654][8799] in it.
7:30 Therefore I am full[04392] of the fury[02534] of the LORD[03068]; I am weary[03811][8738] with holding in[03557][8687]: I will pour it out[08210][8800] upon the children[05768] abroad[02351], and upon the assembly[05475] of young men[0970] together[03162]: for even the husband[0376] with the wife[0802] shall be taken[03920][8735], the aged[02205] with him that is  full[04390][8804] of days[03117].
7:31 And their houses[01004] shall be turned[05437][8738] unto others[0312], with their fields[07704] and wives[0802] together[03162]: for I will stretch out[05186][8686] my hand[03027] upon the inhabitants[03427][8802] of the land[0776], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
7:32 For from the least[06996] of them even unto the greatest[01419] of them every one is given[01214][8802] to covetousness[01215]; and from the prophet[05030] even unto the priest[03548] every one dealeth[06213][8802] falsely[08267].
7:33 They have healed[07495][8762] also the hurt[07667] of the daughter[01323][8676] of my people[05971] slightly[07043][8738], saying[0559][8800], Peace[07965], peace[07965]; when there is no peace[07965]. hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach
7:34 Were they ashamed[03001][8689] when they had committed[06213][8804] abomination[08441]? nay[01571], they were not at all[0954][8800] ashamed[0954][8799], neither[01571] could[03045][8804] they blush[03637][8687]: therefore they shall fall[05307][8799] among them that fall[05307][8802]: at the time[06256] that I visit[06485][8804] them they shall be cast down[03782][8735], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
8:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Stand[05975][8798] ye in the ways[01870], and see[07200][8799], and ask[07592][8798] for the old[05769] paths[05410], where is the good[02896] way[01870], and walk[03212][8799] therein, and ye shall find[04672][8798] rest[04771] for your souls[05315]. But they said[0559][8799], We will not walk[03212][8798] therein .
8:2 Also I set[06965][8689] watchmen[06822][8802] over you, saying , Hearken[07181][8685] to the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782]. But they said[0559][8799], We will not hearken[07181][8686].
8:3 Therefore hear[08085][8798], ye nations[01471], and know[03045][8798], O congregation[05712], what is among them.
8:4 Hear[08085][8798], O earth[0776]: behold, I will bring[0935][8688] evil[07451] upon this people[05971], even the fruit[06529] of their thoughts[04284], because they have not hearkened[07181][8689] unto my words[01697], nor to my law[08451], but rejected[03988][8799] it.
8:5 To what purpose cometh[0935][8799] there to me incense[03828] from Sheba[07614], and the sweet[02896] cane[07070] from a far[04801] country[0776]? your burnt offerings[05930] are  not acceptable[07522], nor your sacrifices[02077] sweet[06149][8804] unto me.
8:6 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, I will lay[05414][8802] stumblingblocks[04383] before this people[05971], and the fathers[01] and the sons[01121] together[03162] shall fall[03782][8804] upon them; the neighbour[07934] and his friend[07453] shall perish[06][8804].
8:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, a people[05971] cometh[0935][8802] from the north[06828] country[0776], and a great[01419] nation[01471] shall be raised[05782][8735] from the sides[03411] of the earth[0776].
8:8 They shall lay hold[02388][8686] on bow[07198] and spear[03591]; they are cruel[0394], and have no mercy[07355][8762]; their voice[06963] roareth[01993][8799] like the sea[03220]; and they ride[07392][8799] upon horses[05483], set in array[06186][8803] as men[0376] for war[04421] against thee, O daughter[01323] of Zion[06726].
8:9 We have heard[08085][8804] the fame[08089] thereof: our hands[03027] wax feeble[07503][8804]: anguish[06869] hath taken hold[02388][8689] of us, and pain[02427], as of a woman in travail[03205][8802].
8:10 Go not forth[03318][8799] into the field[07704], nor walk[03212][8799] by the way[01870]; for the sword[02719] of the enemy[0341][8802] and fear[04032] is on every side[05439].
8:11 O daughter[01323] of my people[05971], gird[02296][8798] thee with sackcloth[08242], and wallow[06428][8690] thyself in ashes[0665]: make[06213][8798] thee mourning[060], as for an only son[03173], most bitter[08563] lamentation[04553]: for the spoiler[07703][8802] shall suddenly[06597] come[0935][8799] upon us.
8:12 I have set[05414][8804] thee for a tower[0969] and a fortress[04013] among my people[05971], that thou mayest know[03045][8799] and try[0974][8804] their way[01870].
8:13 They are all grievous[05493][8802] revolters[05637][8802], walking[01980][8802] with slanders[07400]: they are brass[05178] and iron[01270]; they are all corrupters[07843][8688].
8:14 The bellows[04647] are burned[02787][8738], the lead[05777] is consumed[08552][8804] of the fire[0800][0784]; the founder[06884][8800] melteth[06884][8804] in vain[07723]: for the wicked[07451] are not plucked away[05423][8738].
8:15 Reprobate[03988][8737] silver[03701] shall men call[07121][8804] them, because the LORD[03068] hath rejected[03988][8804] them. Reprobate...: or, Refuse silver
8:16 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
8:17 Stand[05975][8798] in the gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], and proclaim[07121][8804] there this word[01697], and say[0559][8804], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], all ye of Judah[03063], that enter in[0935][8802] at these gates[08179] to worship[07812][8692] the LORD[03068].
8:18 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], Amend[03190][8685] your ways[01870] and your doings[04611], and I will cause you to dwell[07931][8762] in this place[04725].
8:19 Trust[0982][8799] ye not in lying[08267] words[01697], saying[0559][8800], The temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], The temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], The temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], are these.
8:20 For if ye throughly[03190][8687] amend[03190][8686] your ways[01870] and your doings[04611]; if ye throughly[06213][8800] execute[06213][8799] judgment[04941] between a man[0376] and his neighbour[07453];
8:21 If ye oppress[06231][8799] not the stranger[01616], the fatherless[03490], and the widow[0490], and shed[08210][8799] not innocent[05355] blood[01818] in this place[04725], neither walk[03212][8799] after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430] to your hurt[07451]:
8:22 Then will I cause you to dwell[07931][8765] in this place[04725], in the land[0776] that I gave[05414][8804] to your fathers[01], for[05704] ever[05769] and ever[05769].
9:1 Behold, ye trust[0982][8802] in lying[08267] words[01697], that cannot profit[03276][8687].
9:2 Will ye steal[01589][8800], murder[07523][8800], and commit adultery[05003][8800], and swear[07650][8736] falsely[08267], and burn incense[06999][8763] unto Baal[01168], and walk[01980][8800] after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430] whom ye know[03045][8804] not;
9:3 And come[0935][8804] and stand[05975][8804] before[06440] me in this house[01004], which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034], and say[0559][8804], We are delivered[05337][8738] to do[06213][8800] all these abominations[08441]? which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called
9:4 Is this house[01004], which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034], become a den[04631] of robbers[06530] in your eyes[05869]? Behold, even I have seen[07200][8804] it , saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
9:5 But go[03212][8798] ye now unto my place[04725] which was in Shiloh[07887], where I set[07931][8765] my name[08034] at the first[07223], and see[07200][8798] what I did[06213][8804] to it for[06440] the wickedness[07451] of my people[05971] Israel[03478].
9:6 And now, because ye have done[06213][8800] all these works[04639], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and I spake[01696][8762] unto you, rising up early[07925][8687] and speaking[01696][8763], but ye heard[08085][8804] not; and I called[07121][8799] you, but ye answered[06030][8804] not;
9:7 Therefore will I do[06213][8804] unto this house[01004], which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034], wherein ye trust[0982][8802], and unto the place[04725] which I gave[05414][8804] to you and to your fathers[01], as I have done[06213][8804] to Shiloh[07887].
9:8 And I will cast you out[07993][8689] of my sight[06440], as I have cast out[07993][8689] all your brethren[0251], even the whole seed[02233] of Ephraim[0669].
9:9 Therefore pray[06419][8691] not thou for this people[05971], neither lift up[05375][8799] cry[07440] nor prayer[08605] for them[01157], neither make intercession[06293][8799] to me: for I will not hear[08085][8802] thee.
9:10 Seest[07200][8802] thou not what they do[06213][8802] in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389]?
9:11 The children[01121] gather[03950][8764] wood[06086], and the fathers[01] kindle[01197][8764] the fire[0784], and the women[0802] knead[03888][8802] their dough[01217], to make[06213][8800] cakes[03561] to the queen[04446] of heaven[08064], and to pour out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto other[0312] gods[0430], that they may provoke me to anger[03707][8687]. queen...: or, frame, or, workmanship of heaven
9:12 Do they provoke me to anger[03707][8688]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion[01322] of their own faces[06440]?
9:13 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069]; Behold, mine anger[0639] and my fury[02534] shall be poured out[05413][8737] upon this place[04725], upon man[0120], and upon beast[0929], and upon the trees[06086] of the field[07704], and upon the fruit[06529] of the ground[0127]; and it shall burn[01197][8804], and shall not be quenched[03518][8799].
9:14 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Put[05595][8798] your burnt offerings[05930] unto your sacrifices[02077], and eat[0398][8798] flesh[01320].
9:15 For I spake[01696][8765] not unto your fathers[01], nor commanded[06680][8765] them in the day[03117] that I brought them out[03318][8687] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], concerning[01697] burnt offerings[05930] or sacrifices[02077]: concerning: Heb. concerning the matter of
9:16 But this thing[01697] commanded[06680][8765] I them, saying[0559][8800], Obey[08085][8798] my voice[06963], and I will be your God[0430], and ye shall be my people[05971]: and walk[01980][8804] ye in all the ways[01870] that I have commanded[06680][8762] you, that it may be well[03190][8799] unto you.
9:17 But they hearkened[08085][8804] not, nor inclined[05186][8689] their ear[0241], but walked[03212][8799] in the counsels[04156] and in the imagination[08307] of their evil[07451] heart[03820], and went backward[0268], and not forward[06440]. imagination: or, stubbornness went: Heb. were
9:18 Since the day[03117] that your fathers[01] came forth out[03318][8804] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] unto this day[03117] I have even sent[07971][8799] unto you all my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], daily[03117] rising up early[07925][8687] and sending[07971][8800] them :
9:19 Yet they hearkened[08085][8804] not unto me, nor inclined[05186][8689] their ear[0241], but hardened[07185][8686] their neck[06203]: they did worse[07489][8689] than their fathers[01].
9:20 Therefore thou shalt speak[01696][8765] all these words[01697] unto them; but they will not hearken[08085][8799] to thee: thou shalt also call[07121][8804] unto them; but they will not answer[06030][8799] thee.
9:21 But thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, This is a nation[01471] that obeyeth[08085][8804] not the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] their God[0430], nor receiveth[03947][8804] correction[04148]: truth[0530] is perished[06][8804], and is cut off[03772][8738] from their mouth[06310]. correction: or, instruction
9:22 Cut off[01494][8798] thine hair[05145], O Jerusalem , and cast it away[07993][8685], and take up[05375][8798] a lamentation[07015] on high places[08205]; for the LORD[03068] hath rejected[03988][8804] and forsaken[05203][8799] the generation[01755] of his wrath[05678].
9:23 For the children[01121] of Judah[03063] have done[06213][8804] evil[07451] in my sight[05869], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: they have set[07760][8804] their abominations[08251] in the house[01004] which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034], to pollute[02930][8763] it.
9:24 And they have built[01129][8804] the high places[01116] of Tophet[08612], which is in the valley[01516] of the son[01121] of Hinnom[02011], to burn[08313][8800] their sons[01121] and their daughters[01323] in the fire[0784]; which I commanded[06680][8765] them not, neither came[05927][8804] it into my heart[03820]. came...: Heb. came it upon my heart
9:25 Therefore, behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that it shall no more be called[0559][8735] Tophet[08612], nor the valley[01516] of the son[01121] of Hinnom[02011], but the valley[01516] of slaughter[02028]: for they shall bury[06912][8804] in Tophet[08612], till there be no[0369] place[04725].
9:26 And the carcases[05038] of this people[05971] shall be meat[03978] for the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064], and for the beasts[0929] of the earth[0776]; and none shall fray them away[02729][8688].
10:1 Then will I cause to cease[07673][8689] from the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and from the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389], the voice[06963] of mirth[08342], and the voice[06963] of gladness[08057], the voice[06963] of the bridegroom[02860], and the voice[06963] of the bride[03618]: for the land[0776] shall be desolate[02723].
10:2 At that time[06256], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], they shall bring out[03318][8686] the bones[06106] of the kings[04428] of Judah[03063], and the bones[06106] of his princes[08269], and the bones[06106] of the priests[03548], and the bones[06106] of the prophets[05030], and the bones[06106] of the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], out of their graves[06913]:
10:3 And they shall spread[07849][8804] them before the sun[08121], and the moon[03394], and all the host[06635] of heaven[08064], whom they have loved[0157][8804], and whom they have served[05647][8804], and after[0310] whom they have walked[01980][8804], and whom they have sought[01875][8804], and whom they have worshipped[07812][8694]: they shall not be gathered[0622][8735], nor be buried[06912][8735]; they shall be for dung[01828] upon the face[06440] of the earth[0127].
10:4 And death[04194] shall be chosen[0977][8738] rather than life[02416] by all the residue[07611] of them that remain[07604][8737] of this evil[07451] family[04940], which remain[07604][8737] in all the places[04725] whither I have driven[05080][8689] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
10:5 Moreover thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Shall they fall[05307][8799], and not arise[06965][8799]? shall he turn away[07725][8799], and not return[07725][8799]?
10:6 Why then is this people[05971] of Jerusalem[03389] slidden back[07725][8790] by a perpetual[05329][8737] backsliding[04878]? they hold[02388][8689] fast deceit[08649], they refuse[03985][8765] to return[07725][8800].
10:7 I hearkened[07181][8689] and heard[08085][8799], but they spake not aright[01696][8762]: no man[0376] repented[05162][8737] him of[05921] his wickedness[07451], saying[0559][8800], What have I done[06213][8804]? every one turned[07725][8804] to his course[04794], as the horse[05483] rusheth[07857][8802] into the battle[04421].
10:8 Yea, the stork[02624] in the heaven[08064] knoweth[03045][8804] her appointed times[04150]; and the turtle[08449] and the crane[05483] and the swallow[05693] observe[08104][8804] the time[06256] of their coming[0935][8800]; but my people[05971] know[03045][8804] not the judgment[04941] of the LORD[03068].
10:9 How do ye say[0559][8799], We are wise[02450], and the law[08451] of the LORD[03068] is with us? Lo, certainly[0403] in vain[08267] made[06213][8804] he it ; the pen[05842] of the scribes[05608][8802] is in vain[08267]. in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood
10:10 The wise[02450] men are ashamed[03001][8689], they are dismayed[02865][8804] and taken[03920][8735]: lo, they have rejected[03988][8804] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]; and what wisdom[02451] is in them? The wise...: or, Have they been ashamed, etc what...: Heb. the wisdom of what thing
10:11 Therefore will I give[05414][8799] their wives[0802] unto others[0312], and their fields[07704] to them that shall inherit[03423][8802] them : for every one from the least[06996] even unto the greatest[01419] is given[01214][8802] to covetousness[01215], from the prophet[05030] even unto the priest[03548] every one dealeth[06213][8802] falsely[08267].
10:12 For they have healed[07495][8762] the hurt[07667] of the daughter[01323] of my people[05971] slightly[07043][8738], saying[0559][8800], Peace[07965], peace[07965]; when there is no peace[07965].
10:13 Were they ashamed[03001][8689] when they had committed[06213][8804] abomination[08441]? nay, they were not at all[0954][8800] ashamed[0954][8799], neither could[03045][8804] they blush[03637][8736]: therefore shall they fall[05307][8799] among them that fall[05307][8802]: in the time[06256] of their visitation[06486] they shall be cast down[03782][8735], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]. I will...: or, In gathering I will consume
10:14 I will surely[0622][8800] consume[05486][8686] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: there shall be no grapes[06025] on the vine[01612], nor figs[08384] on the fig tree[08384], and the leaf[05929] shall fade[05034][8804]; and the things that I have given[05414][8799] them shall pass away[05674][8799] from them.
10:15 Why do we sit still[03427][8802]? assemble[0622][8734] yourselves, and let us enter[0935][8799] into the defenced[04013] cities[05892], and let us be silent[01826][8735] there: for the LORD[03068] our God[0430] hath put us to silence[01826][8689], and given us water[04325] of gall[07219] to drink[08248][8686], because we have sinned[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068]. gall: or, poison
10:16 We looked[06960][8763] for peace[07965], but no good[02896] came; and for a time[06256] of health[04832], and behold trouble[01205]!
10:17 The snorting[05170] of his horses[05483] was heard[08085][8738] from Dan[01835]: the whole land[0776] trembled[07493][8804] at the sound[06963] of the neighing[04684] of his strong ones[047]; for they are come[0935][8799], and have devoured[0398][8799] the land[0776], and all[04393] that is in it; the city[05892], and those that dwell[03427][8802] therein. all...: Heb. the fulness thereof
10:18 For, behold, I will send[07971][8764] serpents[05175], cockatrices[06848], among you, which will not be charmed[03908], and they shall bite[05391][8765] you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
10:19 When I would comfort[04010] myself against sorrow[03015], my heart[03820] is faint[01742] in me. in: Heb. upon
10:20 Behold the voice[06963] of the cry[07775] of the daughter[01323] of my people[05971] because of them that dwell in a far[04801] country[0776]: Is not the LORD[03068] in Zion[06726]? is not her king[04428] in her? Why have they provoked me to anger[03707][8689] with their graven images[06456], and with strange[05236] vanities[01892]? them...: Heb. the country of them that are far off
10:21 The harvest[07105] is past[05674][8804], the summer[07019] is ended[03615][8804], and we are not saved[03467][8738].
10:22 For the hurt[07667] of the daughter[01323] of my people[05971] am I hurt[07665][8717]; I am black[06937][8804]; astonishment[08047] hath taken hold[02388][8689] on me.
10:23 Is there no balm[06875] in Gilead[01568]; is there no physician[07495][8802] there? why then[03588] is not the health[0724] of the daughter[01323] of my people[05971] recovered[05927][8804]? recovered: Heb. gone up?
10:24 Oh that[05414][8799] my head[07218] were waters[04325], and mine eyes[05869] a fountain[04726] of tears[01832], that I might weep[01058][8799] day[03119] and night[03915] for the slain[02491] of the daughter[01323] of my people[05971]! Oh...: Heb. Who will give my head, etc
10:25 Oh that[05414][8799] I had in the wilderness[04057] a lodging place[04411] of wayfaring men[0732][8802]; that I might leave[05800][8799] my people[05971], and go[03212][8799] from them! for they be all adulterers[05003][8764], an assembly[06116] of treacherous men[0898][8802].
11:1 And they bend[01869][8686] their tongues[03956] like their bow[07198] for lies[08267]: but they are not valiant[01396][8804] for the truth[0530] upon the earth[0776]; for they proceed[03318][8804] from evil[07451] to evil[07451], and they know[03045][8804] not me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
11:2 Take ye heed[08104][8734] every one[0376] of his neighbour[07453], and trust[0982][8799] ye not in any brother[0251]: for every brother[0251] will utterly[06117][8800] supplant[06117][8799], and every neighbour[07453] will walk[01980][8799] with slanders[07400]. neighbour: or, friend
11:3 And they will deceive[02048][8762] every one[0376] his neighbour[07453], and will not speak[01696][8762] the truth[0571]: they have taught[03925][8765] their tongue[03956] to speak[01696][8763] lies[08267], and weary[03811][8738] themselves to commit iniquity[05753][8687]. deceive: or, mock
11:4 Thine habitation[03427][8800] is in the midst[08432] of deceit[04820]; through deceit[04820] they refuse[03985][8765] to know[03045][8800] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
11:5 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], Behold, I will melt[06884][8802] them, and try[0974][8804] them; for how shall I do[06213][8799] for[06440] the daughter[01323] of my people[05971]?
11:6 Their tongue[03956] is as an arrow[02671] shot out[07819][8803]; it speaketh[01696][8765] deceit[04820]: one speaketh[01696][8762] peaceably[07965] to his neighbour[07453] with his mouth[06310], but in heart[07130] he layeth[07760][8799] his wait[0696]. in heart: Heb. in the midst of him his wait: or, wait for him
11:7 Shall I not visit[06485][8799] them for these things ? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: shall not my soul[05315] be avenged[05358][8691] on such a nation[01471] as this?
11:8 For the mountains[02022] will I take up[05375][8799] a weeping[01065] and wailing[05092], and for the habitations[04999] of the wilderness[04057] a lamentation[07015], because they are burned up[03341][8738], so that none[0376] can pass[05674][8802] through them ; neither can men hear[08085][8804] the voice[06963] of the cattle[04735]; both the fowl[05775] of the heavens[08064] and the beast[0929] are fled[05074][8804]; they are gone[01980][8804]. habitations: or, pastures burned up: or, desolate both...: Heb. from the fowl even to, etc
11:9 And I will make[05414][8804] Jerusalem[03389] heaps[01530], and a den[04583] of dragons[08577]; and I will make[05414][8799] the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] desolate[08077], without an inhabitant[03427][8802]. desolate: Heb. desolation
11:10 Who is the wise[02450] man[0376], that may understand[0995][8799] this? and who is he to whom the mouth[06310] of the LORD[03068] hath spoken[01696][8765], that he may declare[05046][8686] it, for what the land[0776] perisheth[06][8804] and is burned up[03341][8738] like a wilderness[04057], that none passeth through[05674][8802]?
11:11 And the LORD[03068] saith[0559][8799], Because they have forsaken[05800][8800] my law[08451] which I set[05414][8804] before[06440] them, and have not obeyed[08085][8804] my voice[06963], neither walked[01980][8804] therein;
11:12 But have walked[03212][8799] after[0310] the imagination[08307] of their own heart[03820], and after[0310] Baalim[01168], which their fathers[01] taught[03925][8765] them: imagination: or, stubbornness
11:13 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will feed[0398][8688] them, even this people[05971], with wormwood[03939], and give them water[04325] of gall[07219] to drink[08248][8689].
11:14 I will scatter[06327][8689] them also among the heathen[01471], whom neither they nor their fathers[01] have known[03045][8804]: and I will send[07971][8765] a sword[02719] after[0310] them, till I have consumed[03615][8763] them.
11:15 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], Consider[0995][8708] ye, and call[07121][8798] for the mourning women[06969][8789], that they may come[0935][8799]; and send[07971][8798] for cunning[02450]  women , that they may come[0935][8799]:
11:16 And let them make haste[04116][8762], and take up[05375][8799] a wailing[05092] for us, that our eyes[05869] may run down[03381][8799] with tears[01832], and our eyelids[06079] gush out[05140][8799] with waters[04325].
11:17 For a voice[06963] of wailing[05092] is heard[08085][8738] out of Zion[06726], How are we spoiled[07703][8795]! we are greatly[03966] confounded[0954][8804], because we have forsaken[05800][8804] the land[0776], because our dwellings[04908] have cast us out[07993][8689].
11:18 Yet hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], O ye women[0802], and let your ear[0241] receive[03947][8799] the word[01697] of his mouth[06310], and teach[03925][8761] your daughters[01323] wailing[05092], and every one[0802] her neighbour[07468] lamentation[07015].
11:19 For death[04194] is come up[05927][8804] into our windows[02474], and is entered[0935][8804] into our palaces[0759], to cut off[03772][8687] the children[05768] from without[02351], and the young men[0970] from the streets[07339].
11:20 Speak[01696][8761], Thus saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], Even the carcases[05038] of men[0120] shall fall[05307][8804] as dung[01828] upon the open[06440] field[07704], and as the handful[05995] after[0310] the harvestman[07114][8802], and none shall gather[0622][8764] them .
11:21 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Let not the wise[02450] man glory[01984][8691] in his wisdom[02451], neither let the mighty[01368] man glory[01984][8691] in his might[01369], let not the rich[06223] man glory[01984][8691] in his riches[06239]:
11:22 But let him that glorieth[01984][8693] glory[01984][8691] in this, that he understandeth[07919][8687] and knoweth[03045][8800] me, that I am the LORD[03068] which exercise[06213][8802] lovingkindness[02617], judgment[04941], and righteousness[06666], in the earth[0776]: for in these things I delight[02654][8804], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
11:23 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will punish[06485][8804] all them which are circumcised[04135][8803] with the uncircumcised[06190]; punish: Heb. visit upon

12:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Learn[03925][8799] not the way[01870] of the heathen[01471], and be not dismayed[02865][8735] at the signs[0226] of heaven[08064]; for the heathen[01471] are dismayed[02865][8735] at them[01992].
12:4 For the customs[02708] of the people[05971] are vain[01892]: for one cutteth[03772][8804] a tree[06086] out of the forest[03293], the work[04639] of the hands[03027] of the workman[02796], with the axe[04621]. customs...: Heb. statutes, or, ordinances are vanity

12:6 They are upright[04749] as the palm tree[08560], but speak[01696][8762] not: they must needs[05375][8800] be borne[05375][8735], because they cannot go[06805][8799]. Be not afraid[03372][8799] of them; for they cannot do evil[07489][8686], neither also is it in them to do good[03190][8687].
12:7 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD[03068]; thou art great[01419], and thy name[08034] is great[01419] in might[01369].
12:8 Who would not fear[03372][8799] thee, O King[04428] of nations[01471]? for to thee doth it appertain[02969][8804]: forasmuch as among all the wise[02450] men of the nations[01471], and in all their kingdoms[04438],  there is none like unto thee. to...: or, it liketh thee

12:12 Thus[01836] shall ye say[0560][8748] unto them, The gods[0426] that have not[03809] made[05648][8754] the heavens[08065] and the earth[0778], even they shall perish[07][8748] from the earth[0772], and from under[08460] these[0429] heavens[08065].
12:13 He hath made[06213][8802] the earth[0776] by his power[03581], he hath established[03559][8688] the world[08398] by his wisdom[02451], and hath stretched out[05186][8804] the heavens[08064] by his discretion[08394].
12:14 When he uttereth[05414][8800] his voice[06963], there is a multitude[01995] of waters[04325] in the heavens[08064], and he causeth the vapours[05387] to ascend[05927][8686] from the ends[07097] of the earth[0776]; he maketh[06213][8804] lightnings[01300] with rain[04306], and bringeth forth[03318][8686] the wind[07307] out of his treasures[0214]. multitude: or, noise with: or, for

12:17 The portion[02506] of Jacob[03290] is not like them: for he is the former[03335][8802] of all things ; and Israel[03478] is the rod[07626] of his inheritance[05159]: The LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034].

13:3 Woe[0188] is me for my hurt[07667]! my wound[04347] is grievous[02470][8737]: but I said[0559][8804], Truly[0389] this is a grief[02483], and I must bear[05375][8799] it.
13:4 My tabernacle[0168] is spoiled[07703][8795], and all my cords[04340] are broken[05423][8738]: my children[01121] are gone forth[03318][8804] of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth[05186][8802] my tent[0168] any more, and to set up[06965][8688] my curtains[03407].
13:5 For the pastors[07462][8802] are become brutish[01197][8738], and have not sought[01875][8804] the LORD[03068]: therefore they shall not prosper[07919][8689], and all their flocks[04830] shall be scattered[06327][8738].
13:6 Behold, the noise[06963] of the bruit[08052] is come[0935][8802], and a great[01419] commotion[07494] out of the north[06828] country[0776], to make[07760][8800] the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] desolate[08077], and  a den[04583] of dragons[08577].
13:7 O LORD[03068], I know[03045][8804] that the way[01870] of man[0120] is not in himself: it is not in man[0376] that walketh[01980][8802] to direct[03559][8687] his steps[06806].
13:8 O LORD[03068], correct[03256][8761] me, but with judgment[04941]; not in thine anger[0639], lest thou bring me to nothing[04591][8686]. bring...: Heb. diminish me

13:12 And say[0559][8804] thou unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Cursed[0779][8803] be the man[0376] that obeyeth[08085][8799] not the words[01697] of this covenant[01285],
13:13 Which I commanded[06680][8765] your fathers[01] in the day[03117] that I brought them forth[03318][8687] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], from the iron[01270] furnace[03564], saying[0559][8800], Obey[08085][8798] my voice[06963], and do[06213][8804] them, according to all which I command[06680][8762] you: so shall ye be my people[05971], and I will be your God[0430]:
13:14 That I may perform[06965][8687] the oath[07621] which I have sworn[07650][8738] unto your fathers[01], to give[05414][8800] them a land[0776] flowing[02100][8802] with milk[02461] and honey[01706], as it is this day[03117]. Then answered[06030][8799] I, and said[0559][8799], So be it[0543], O LORD[03068]. So...: Heb. Amen
13:15 Then the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto me, Proclaim[07121][8798] all these words[01697] in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389], saying[0559][8800], Hear[08085][8798] ye the words[01697] of this covenant[01285], and do[06213][8804] them.
13:16 For I earnestly[05749][8687] protested[05749][8689] unto your fathers[01] in the day[03117] that I brought them up[05927][8687] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], even  unto this day[03117], rising early[07925][8687] and protesting[05749][8687], saying[0559][8800], Obey[08085][8798] my voice[06963].

13:19 They are turned back[07725][8804] to the iniquities[05771] of their forefathers[07223][01], which refused[03985][8765] to hear[08085][8800] my words[01697]; and they went[01980][8804] after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430] to serve[05647][8800] them: the house[01004] of Israel[03478] and the house[01004] of Judah[03063] have broken[06565][8689] my covenant[01285] which I made[03772][8804] with their fathers[01].

14:17 The spoilers[07703][8802] are come[0935][8804] upon all high places[08205] through the wilderness[04057]: for the sword[02719] of the LORD[03068] shall devour[0398][8802] from the one end[07097] of the land[0776] even to the other end[07097] of the land[0776]: no flesh[01320] shall have peace[07965].

14:19 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] against all mine evil[07451] neighbours[07934], that touch[05060][8802] the inheritance[05159] which I have caused my people[05971] Israel[03478] to inherit[05157][8689]; Behold, I will pluck them out[05428][8802] of their land[0127], and pluck out[05428][8799] the house[01004] of Judah[03063] from among[08432] them.
14:20 And it shall come to pass, after[0310] that I have plucked them out[05428][8800] I will return[07725][8799], and have compassion[07355][8765] on them, and will bring them again[07725][8689], every man[0376] to his heritage[05159], and every man[0376] to his land[0776].
14:21 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently[03925][8800] learn[03925][8799] the ways[01870] of my people[05971], to swear[07650][8736] by my name[08034], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416]; as they taught[03925][8765] my people[05971] to swear[07650][8736] by Baal[01168]; then shall they be built[01129][8738] in the midst[08432] of my people[05971].
14:22 But if they will not obey[08085][8799], I will utterly[05428][8800] pluck up[05428][8804] and destroy[06][8763] that nation[01471], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
15:1 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] unto me, Go[01980][8800] and get[07069][8804] thee a linen[06593] girdle[0232], and put[07760][8804] it upon thy loins[04975], and put[0935][8686] it not in water[04325].
15:2 So I got[07069][8799] a girdle[0232] according to the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], and put[07760][8799] it on my loins[04975].
15:3 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me the second time[08145], saying[0559][8800],
15:4 Take[03947][8798] the girdle[0232] that thou hast got[07069][8804], which is upon thy loins[04975], and arise[06965][8798], go[03212][8798] to Euphrates[06578], and hide[02934][8798] it there in a hole[05357] of the rock[05553].
15:5 So I went[03212][8799], and hid[02934][8799] it by Euphrates[06578], as the LORD[03068] commanded[06680][8765] me.
15:6 And it came to pass after[07093] many[07227] days[03117], that the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto me, Arise[06965][8798], go[03212][8798] to Euphrates[06578], and take[03947][8798] the girdle[0232] from thence, which I commanded[06680][8765] thee to hide[02934][8800] there.
15:7 Then I went[03212][8799] to Euphrates[06578], and digged[02658][8799], and took[03947][8799] the girdle[0232] from the place[04725] where I had hid[02934][8804] it: and, behold, the girdle[0232] was marred[07843][8738], it was profitable[06743][8799] for nothing.
15:8 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
15:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], After this manner will I mar[07843][8686] the pride[01347] of Judah[03063], and the great[07227] pride[01347] of Jerusalem[03389].
15:10 This evil[07451] people[05971], which refuse[03987] to hear[08085][8800] my words[01697], which walk[01980][8802] in the imagination[08307] of their heart[03820], and walk[03212][8799] after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430], to serve[05647][8800] them, and to worship[07812][8692] them, shall even be as this girdle[0232], which is good[06743][8799] for nothing. imagination: or, stubbornness
15:11 For as the girdle[0232] cleaveth[01692][8799] to the loins[04975] of a man[0376], so have I caused to cleave[01692][8689] unto me the whole house[01004] of Israel[03478] and the whole house[01004] of Judah[03063], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; that they might be unto me for a people[05971], and for a name[08034], and for a praise[08416], and for a glory[08597]: but they would not hear[08085][8804].
15:12 Therefore thou shalt speak[0559][8804] unto them this word[01697]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478], Every bottle[05035] shall be filled[04390][8735] with wine[03196]: and they shall say[0559][8804] unto thee, Do we not certainly[03045][8800] know[03045][8799] that every bottle[05035] shall be filled[04390][8735] with wine[03196]?
15:13 Then shalt thou say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, I will fill[04390][8764] all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of this land[0776], even the kings[04428] that sit[03427][8802] upon David's[01732] throne[03678], and the priests[03548], and the prophets[05030], and all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], with drunkenness[07943].
15:14 And I will dash[05310][8765] them one[0376] against another[0251], even the fathers[01] and the sons[01121] together[03162], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: I will not pity[02550][8799], nor spare[02347][8799], nor have mercy[07355][8762], but destroy[07843][8687] them. one...: Heb. a man against his brother but...: Heb. from destroying them

15:17 But if ye will not hear[08085][8799] it, my soul[05315] shall weep[01058][8799] in secret places[04565] for[06440] your pride[01466]; and mine eye[05869] shall weep[01830][8799] sore[01830][8800], and run down[03381][8799] with tears[01832], because the LORD'S[03068] flock[05739] is carried away captive[07617][8738].
15:18 Say[0559][8798] unto the king[04428] and to the queen[01377], Humble[08213][8685] yourselves, sit down[03427][8798]: for your principalities[04761] shall come down[03381][8804], even the crown[05850] of your glory[08597]. principalities: or, head tires

15:20 Lift up[05375][8798] your eyes[05869], and behold[07200][8798] them that come[0935][8802] from the north[06828]: where is the flock[05739] that was given[05414][8738] thee, thy beautiful[08597] flock[06629]?
15:21 What wilt thou say[0559][8799] when he shall punish[06485][8799] thee? for thou hast taught[03925][8765] them to be captains[0441], and as chief[07218] over thee: shall not sorrows[02256] take[0270][8799] thee, as a woman[0802] in travail[03205][8800]? punish: Heb visit upon
16:1 And if thou say[0559][8799] in thine heart[03824], Wherefore come[07122][8804] these things upon me? For the greatness[07230] of thine iniquity[05771] are thy skirts[07757] discovered[01540][8738], and thy heels[06119] made bare[02554][8738]. made...: or, shall be violently taken away

16:4 This is thy lot[01486], the portion[04490] of thy measures[04055] from me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; because thou hast forgotten[07911][8804] me, and trusted[0982][8799] in falsehood[08267].
16:5 Therefore will I discover[02834][8804] thy skirts[07757] upon thy face[06440], that thy shame[07036] may appear[07200][8738].
16:6 I have seen[07200][8804] thine adulteries[05004], and thy neighings[04684], the lewdness[02154] of thy whoredom[02184], and thine abominations[08251] on the hills[01389] in the fields[07704].

16:9 And their nobles[0117] have sent[07971][8804] their little ones[06810] to the waters[04325]: they came[0935][8804] to the pits[01356][8676][01360], and found[04672][8804] no water[04325]; they returned[07725][8804] with their vessels[03627] empty[07387]; they were ashamed[0954][8804] and confounded[03637][8717], and covered[02645][8804] their heads[07218].
16:10 Because the ground[0127] is chapt[02865][8804], for there was no rain[01653] in the earth[0776], the plowmen[0406] were ashamed[0954][8804], they covered[02645][8804] their heads[07218].

16:14 O the hope[04723] of Israel[03478], the saviour[03467][8688] thereof in time[06256] of trouble[06869], why shouldest thou be as a stranger[01616] in the land[0776], and as a wayfaring man[0732][8802] that turneth aside[05186][8804] to tarry for a night[03885][8800]?
16:15 Why shouldest thou be as a man[0376] astonied[01724][8737], as a mighty man[01368] that cannot[03201][8799] save[03467][8687]? yet thou, O LORD[03068], art in the midst[07130] of us, and we are called[07121][8738] by thy name[08034]; leave[03240][8686] us not. we...: Heb. thy name is called upon us

16:17 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068] unto me, Pray[06419][8691] not for this people[05971] for their good[02896].

16:21 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] concerning the prophets[05030] that prophesy[05012][8737] in my name[08034], and I sent[07971][8804] them not, yet they say[0559][8802], Sword[02719] and famine[07458] shall not be in this land[0776]; By sword[02719] and famine[07458] shall those prophets[05030] be consumed[08552][8735].

17:2 Therefore thou shalt say[0559][8804] this word[01697] unto them; Let mine eyes[05869] run down[03381][8799] with tears[01832] night[03915] and day[03119], and let them not cease[01820][8799]: for the virgin[01330] daughter[01323] of my people[05971] is broken[07665][8738] with a great[01419] breach[07667], with a very[03966] grievous[02470][8737] blow[04347].
17:3 If I go forth[03318][8804] into the field[07704], then behold the slain[02491] with the sword[02719]! and if I enter[0935][8804] into the city[05892], then behold them that are sick[08463] with famine[07458]! yea, both the prophet[05030] and the priest[03548] go about[05503][8804] into a land[0776] that they know[03045][8804] not. go about...: or, make merchandise against a land, and men acknowledge it not
17:4 Hast thou utterly[03988][8800] rejected[03988][8804] Judah[03063]? hath thy soul[05315] lothed[01602][8804] Zion[06726]? why hast thou smitten[05221][8689] us, and there is  no healing[04832] for us? we looked[06960][8763] for peace[07965], and there is no good[02896]; and for the time[06256] of healing[04832], and behold trouble[01205]!
17:5 We acknowledge[03045][8804], O LORD[03068], our wickedness[07562], and the iniquity[05771] of our fathers[01]: for we have sinned[02398][8804] against thee.
17:6 Do not abhor[05006][8799] us , for thy name's[08034] sake, do not disgrace[05034][8762] the throne[03678] of thy glory[03519]: remember[02142][8798], break[06565][8686] not thy covenant[01285] with us.
17:7 Are there[03426] any among the vanities[01892] of the Gentiles[01471] that can cause rain[01652][8688]? or can the heavens[08064] give[05414][8799] showers[07241]? art  not thou he, O LORD[03068] our God[0430]? therefore we will wait[06960][8762] upon thee: for thou hast made[06213][8804] all these things .
17:8 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068] unto me, Though Moses[04872] and Samuel[08050] stood[05975][8799] before[06440] me, yet my mind[05315] could not be toward this people[05971]: cast them  out[07971][8761] of my sight[06440], and let them go forth[03318][8799].
17:9 And it shall come to pass, if they say[0559][8799] unto thee, Whither shall we go forth[03318][8799]? then thou shalt tell[0559][8804] them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Such as are for death[04194], to death[04194]; and such as are for the sword[02719], to the sword[02719]; and such as are for the famine[07458], to the famine[07458]; and such as are for the captivity[07628], to the captivity[07628].
17:10 And I will appoint[06485][8804] over them four[0702] kinds[04940], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: the sword[02719] to slay[02026][8800], and the dogs[03611] to tear[05498][8800], and the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064], and the beasts[0929] of the earth[0776], to devour[0398][8800] and destroy[07843][8687]. kinds: Heb. families
17:11 And I will cause[05414][8804] them to be removed[02189][8675][02113] into all kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776], because[01558] of Manasseh[04519] the son[01121] of Hezekiah[03169] king[04428] of Judah[03063], for  that which he did[06213][8804] in Jerusalem[03389]. cause...: Heb. give them for a removing
17:12 For who shall have pity[02550][8799] upon thee, O Jerusalem[03389]? or who shall bemoan[05110][8799] thee? or who shall go aside[05493][8799] to ask[07592][8800] how thou doest[07965]? how...: Heb. of thy peace?

17:14 And I will fan[02219][8799] them with a fan[04214] in the gates[08179] of the land[0776]; I will bereave[07921][8765] them of children, I will destroy[06][8765] my people[05971], since they return[07725][8804] not from their ways[01870]. children: or, whatsoever is dear
17:15 Their widows[0490] are increased[06105][8804] to me above the sand[02344] of the seas[03220]: I have brought[0935][8689] upon them against the mother[0517] of the young men[0970] a spoiler[07703][8802] at noonday[06672]: I have caused him to fall[05307][8689] upon it suddenly[06597], and terrors[0928] upon the city[05892]. the mother...: or, the mother city a young man spoiling, etc, or, the mother and the young men
17:16 She that hath borne[03205][8802] seven[07651] languisheth[0535][8797]: she hath given up[05301][8804] the ghost[05315]; her sun[08121] is gone[0935][8804] down while it was  yet day[03119][8676][03117]: she hath been ashamed[0954][8804] and confounded[02659][8804]: and the residue[07611] of them will I deliver[05414][8799] to the sword[02719] before[06440] their enemies[0341][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
17:17 Woe[0188] is me, my mother[0517], that thou hast borne[03205][8804] me a man[0376] of strife[07379] and a man[0376] of contention[04066] to the whole earth[0776]! I have neither lent on usury[05383][8804], nor men have lent to me on usury[05383][8804]; yet every one of them doth curse[07043][8764] me.
17:18 The LORD[03068] said[0559][8804], Verily[03808][0518] it shall be well[02896] with thy remnant[08281][8765][8675][08293]; verily[0518] I will cause the enemy[0341][8802] to entreat[06293][8689] thee well in the time[06256] of evil[07451] and in the time[06256] of affliction[06869]. cause...: or, intreat the enemy for thee
17:19 Shall iron[01270] break[07489][8799] the northern[06828] iron[01270] and the steel[05178]?
17:20 Thy substance[02428] and thy treasures[0214] will I give[05414][8799] to the spoil[0957] without price[04242], and that for all thy sins[02403], even in all thy borders[01366].
17:21 And I will make thee to pass[05674][8689] with thine enemies[0341][8802] into a land[0776] which thou knowest[03045][8804] not: for a fire[0784] is kindled[06919][8804] in mine anger[0639], which shall burn[03344][8714] upon you.
17:22 O LORD[03068], thou knowest[03045][8804]: remember[02142][8798] me, and visit[06485][8798] me, and revenge[05358][8734] me of my persecutors[07291][8802]; take me not away[03947][8799] in thy longsuffering[0639][0750]: know[03045][8798] that for thy sake I have suffered[05375][8800] rebuke[02781].
17:23 Thy words[01697] were found[04672][8738], and I did eat[0398][8799] them; and thy word[01697] was unto me the joy[08342] and rejoicing[08057] of mine heart[03824]: for I am called[07121][8738] by thy name[08034], O LORD[03068] God[0430] of hosts[06635]. I am...: Heb. thy name is called upon me
17:24 I sat[03427][8804] not in the assembly[05475] of the mockers[07832][8764], nor rejoiced[05937][8799]; I sat[03427][8804] alone[0910] because[06440] of thy hand[03027]: for thou hast filled[04390][8765] me with indignation[02195].
17:25 Why is my pain[03511] perpetual[05331], and my wound[04347] incurable[0605][8803], which refuseth[03985][8765] to be healed[07495][8736]? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar[0391], and as waters[04325] that fail[0539][8738]? fail: Heb. be not sure?
17:26 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], If thou return[07725][8799], then will I bring thee again[07725][8686], and thou shalt stand[05975][8799] before[06440] me: and if thou take forth[03318][8686] the precious[03368] from the vile[02151][8802], thou shalt be as my mouth[06310]: let them return[07725][8799] unto thee; but return[07725][8799] not thou unto them.
17:27 And I will make[05414][8804] thee unto this people[05971] a fenced[01219][8803] brasen[05178] wall[02346]: and they shall fight[03898][8738] against thee, but they shall not prevail[03201][8799] against thee: for I am  with thee to save[03467][8687] thee and to deliver[05337][8687] thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
18:1 And I will deliver[05337][8689] thee out of the hand[03027] of the wicked[07451], and I will redeem[06299][8804] thee out of the hand[03709] of the terrible[06184].
18:2 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came also unto me, saying[0559][8800],
18:3 Thou shalt not take[03947][8799] thee a wife[0802], neither shalt thou have sons[01121] or daughters[01323] in this place[04725].
18:4 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] concerning the sons[01121] and concerning the daughters[01323] that are born[03205][8688] in this place[04725], and concerning their mothers[0517] that bare[03205][8802] them, and concerning their fathers[01] that begat[03209] them in this land[0776];
18:5 They shall die[04191][8799] of grievous[08463] deaths[04463]; they shall not be lamented[05594][8735]; neither shall they be buried[06912][8735]; but they shall be as dung[01828] upon the face[06440] of the earth[0127]: and they shall be consumed[03615][8799] by the sword[02719], and by famine[07458]; and their carcases[05038] shall be meat[03978] for the fowls[05775] of heaven[08064], and for the beasts[0929] of the earth[0776].
18:6 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Enter[0935][8799] not into the house[01004] of mourning[04798], neither go[03212][8799] to lament[05594][8800] nor bemoan[05110][8799] them: for I have taken away[0622][8804] my peace[07965] from this people[05971], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], even lovingkindness[02617] and mercies[07356]. mourning: or, mourning feast
18:7 Both the great[01419] and the small[06996] shall die[04191][8804] in this land[0776]: they shall not be buried[06912][8735], neither shall men lament[05594][8799] for them, nor cut[01413][8704] themselves, nor make themselves bald[07139][8735] for them:
18:8 Neither shall men tear[06536][8799] themselves for them in mourning[060], to comfort[05162][8763] them for the dead[04191][8801]; neither shall men give them the cup[03563] of consolation[08575] to drink[08248][8686] for their father[01] or for their mother[0517]. tear...: or, break bread for them
18:9 Thou shalt not also go[0935][8799] into the house[01004] of feasting[04960], to sit[03427][8800] with them to eat[0398][8800] and to drink[08354][8800].
18:10 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will cause to cease[07673][8688] out of this place[04725] in your eyes[05869], and in your days[03117], the voice[06963] of mirth[08342], and the voice[06963] of gladness[08057], the voice[06963] of the bridegroom[02860], and the voice[06963] of the bride[03618].
18:11 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew[05046][8686] this people[05971] all these words[01697], and they shall say[0559][8804] unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD[03068] pronounced[01696][8765] all this great[01419] evil[07451] against us? or what is our iniquity[05771]? or what is our sin[02403] that we have committed[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068] our God[0430]?
18:12 Then shalt thou say[0559][8804] unto them, Because your fathers[01] have forsaken[05800][8804] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and have walked[03212][8799] after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430], and have served[05647][8799] them, and have worshipped[07812][8691] them, and have forsaken[05800][8804] me, and have not kept[08104][8804] my law[08451];
18:13 And ye have done[06213][8800] worse[07489][8689] than your fathers[01]; for, behold[02009], ye walk[01980][8802] every one[0376] after[0310] the imagination[08307] of his evil[07451] heart[03820], that they may not hearken[08085][8800] unto me: imagination: or, stubbornness
18:14 Therefore will I cast[02904][8689] you out of this land[0776] into a land[0776] that ye know[03045][8804] not, neither ye nor your fathers[01]; and there shall ye serve[05647][8804] other[0312] gods[0430] day[03119] and night[03915]; where I will not shew[05414][8799] you favour[02594].
18:15 Therefore, behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that it shall no more be said[0559][8735], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416], that brought up[05927][8689] the children[01121] of Israel[03478] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714];
18:16 But, The LORD[03068] liveth[02416], that brought up[05927][8689] the children[01121] of Israel[03478] from the land[0776] of the north[06828], and from all the lands[0776] whither he had driven[05080][8689] them: and I will bring them again[07725][8689] into their land[0127] that I gave[05414][8804] unto their fathers[01].
18:17 Behold, I will send[07971][8802] for many[07227] fishers[01771][8675][01728], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and they shall fish[01770][8804] them; and after[0310] will I send[07971][8799] for many[07227] hunters[06719], and they shall hunt[06679][8804] them from every mountain[02022], and from every hill[01389], and out of the holes[05357] of the rocks[05553].
18:18 For mine eyes[05869] are upon all their ways[01870]: they are not hid[05641][8738] from my face[06440], neither is their iniquity[05771] hid[06845][8738] from[05048] mine eyes[05869].
18:19 And first[07223] I will recompense[07999][8765] their iniquity[05771] and their sin[02403] double[04932]; because they have defiled[02490][8763] my land[0776], they have filled[04390][8804] mine inheritance[05159] with the carcases[05038] of their detestable[08251] and abominable things[08441].
18:20 O LORD[03068], my strength[05797], and my fortress[04581], and my refuge[04498] in the day[03117] of affliction[06869], the Gentiles[01471] shall come[0935][8799] unto thee from the ends[0657] of the earth[0776], and shall say[0559][8799], Surely our fathers[01] have inherited[05157][8804] lies[08267], vanity[01892], and things wherein there is no profit[03276][8688].
18:21 Shall a man[0120] make[06213][8799] gods[0430] unto himself, and they are no gods[0430]?
18:22 Therefore, behold, I will this once[06471] cause them to know[03045][8688], I will cause them to know[03045][8686] mine hand[03027] and my might[01369]; and they shall know[03045][8804] that my name[08034] is The LORD[03068]. The LORD: or, JEHOVAH
18:23 The sin[02403] of Judah[03063] is written[03789][8803] with a pen[05842] of iron[01270], and with the point[06856] of a diamond[08068]: it is graven[02790][8803] upon the table[03871] of their heart[03820], and upon the horns[07161] of your altars[04196]; point: Heb. nail
19:1 Whilst their children[01121] remember[02142][8800] their altars[04196] and their groves[0842] by the green[07488] trees[06086] upon the high[01364] hills[01389].
19:2 O my mountain[02042] in the field[07704], I will give[05414][8799] thy substance[02428] and all thy treasures[0214] to the spoil[0957], and thy high places[01116] for sin[02403], throughout all thy borders[01366].
19:3 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue[08058][8804] from thine heritage[05159] that I gave[05414][8804] thee; and I will cause thee to serve[05647][8689] thine enemies[0341][8802] in the land[0776] which thou knowest[03045][8804] not: for ye have kindled[06919][8804] a fire[0784] in mine anger[0639], which shall burn[03344][8714] for[05704] ever[05769]. thyself: Heb. in thyself
19:4 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Cursed[0779][8803] be the man[01397] that trusteth[0982][8799] in man[0120], and maketh[07760][8804] flesh[01320] his arm[02220], and whose heart[03820] departeth[05493][8799] from the LORD[03068].
19:5 For he shall be like the heath[06199] in the desert[06160], and shall not see[07200][8799] when good[02896] cometh[0935][8799]; but shall inhabit[07931][8804] the parched places[02788] in the wilderness[04057], in a salt[04420] land[0776] and not inhabited[03427][8799].
19:6 Blessed[01288][8803] is the man[01397] that trusteth[0982][8799] in the LORD[03068], and whose hope[04009] the LORD[03068] is.
19:7 For he shall be as a tree[06086] planted[08362][8803] by the waters[04325], and that spreadeth out[07971][8762] her roots[08328] by the river[03105], and shall not see[07200][8799] when heat[02527] cometh[0935][8799], but her leaf[05929] shall be green[07488]; and shall not be careful[01672][8799] in the year[08141] of drought[01226], neither shall cease[04185][8686] from yielding[06213][8800] fruit[06529]. drought: or, restraint
19:8 The heart[03820] is deceitful[06121] above all things , and desperately wicked[0605][8803]: who can know[03045][8799] it?
19:9 I the LORD[03068] search[02713][8802] the heart[03820], I try[0974][8802] the reins[03629], even to give[05414][8800] every man[0376] according to his ways[01870], and  according to the fruit[06529] of his doings[04611].
19:10 As the partridge[07124] sitteth[01716][8804] on eggs , and hatcheth[03205][8804] them not; so he that getteth[06213][8802] riches[06239], and not by right[04941], shall leave[05800][8799] them in the midst[02677] of his days[03117], and at his end[0319] shall be a fool[05036]. sitteth...: or, gathereth young which she hath not brought forth
19:11 A glorious[03519] high[04791] throne[03678] from the beginning[07223] is the place[04725] of our sanctuary[04720].
19:12 O LORD[03068], the hope[04723] of Israel[03478], all that forsake[05800][8802] thee shall be ashamed[0954][8799], and they that depart[03249] from me[05493][8803] shall be written[03789][8735] in the earth[0776], because they have forsaken[05800][8804] the LORD[03068], the fountain[04726] of living[02416] waters[04325].
19:13 Heal[07495][8798] me, O LORD[03068], and I shall be healed[07495][8735]; save[03467][8685] me, and I shall be saved[03467][8735]: for thou art my praise[08416].
19:14 Behold, they say[0559][8802] unto me, Where is the word[01697] of the LORD[03068]? let it come[0935][8799] now.
19:15 As for me, I have not hastened[0213][8804] from being a pastor[07462][8802] to follow[0310] thee: neither have I desired[0183][8694] the woeful[0605][8803] day[03117]; thou knowest[03045][8804]: that which came out[04161] of my lips[08193] was right before[05227] thee[06440]. to...: Heb. after thee
20:1 Be not a terror[04288] unto me: thou art my hope[04268] in the day[03117] of evil[07451].
20:2 Let them be confounded[0954][8799] that persecute[07291][8802] me, but let not me be confounded[0954][8799]: let them be dismayed[02865][8735], but let not me be dismayed[02865][8735]: bring[0935][8687] upon them the day[03117] of evil[07451], and destroy[07665][8798] them with double[04932] destruction[07670]. destroy...: Heb. break them with a double breach
20:3 Thus said[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] unto me; Go[01980][8800] and stand[05975][8804] in the gate[08179] of the children[01121] of the people[05971], whereby the kings[04428] of Judah[03063] come in[0935][8799], and by the which they go out[03318][8799], and in all the gates[08179] of Jerusalem[03389];
20:4 And say[0559][8804] unto them, Hear[08085][8798] ye the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], ye kings[04428] of Judah[03063], and all Judah[03063], and all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], that enter in[0935][8802] by these gates[08179]:
20:5 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Take heed[08104][8734] to yourselves[05315], and bear[05375][8799] no burden[04853] on the sabbath[07676] day[03117], nor bring[0935][8689] it in by the gates[08179] of Jerusalem[03389];
20:6 Neither carry forth[03318][8686] a burden[04853] out of your houses[01004] on the sabbath[07676] day[03117], neither do[06213][8799] ye any work[04399], but hallow[06942][8765] ye the sabbath[07676] day[03117], as I commanded[06680][8765] your fathers[01].
20:7 But they obeyed[08085][8804] not, neither inclined[05186][8689] their ear[0241], but made their neck[06203] stiff[07185][8686], that they might not hear[08085][8800], nor receive[03947][8800] instruction[04148].
20:8 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently[08085][8800] hearken[08085][8799] unto me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], to bring[0935][8687] in no burden[04853] through the gates[08179] of this city[05892] on the sabbath[07676] day[03117], but hallow[06942][8763] the sabbath[07676] day[03117], to do[06213][8800] no[01115] work[04399] therein;
20:9 Then shall there enter[0935][8804] into the gates[08179] of this city[05892] kings[04428] and princes[08269] sitting[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732], riding[07392][8802] in chariots[07393] and on horses[05483], they, and their princes[08269], the men[0376] of Judah[03063], and the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389]: and this city[05892] shall remain[03427][8804] for ever[05769].
20:10 And they shall come[0935][8804] from the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and from the places about[05439] Jerusalem[03389], and from the land[0776] of Benjamin[01144], and from the plain[08219], and from the mountains[02022], and from the south[05045], bringing[0935][8688] burnt offerings[05930], and sacrifices[02077], and meat offerings[04503], and incense[03828], and bringing[0935][8688] sacrifices of praise[08426], unto the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
20:11 But if ye will not hearken[08085][8799] unto me to hallow[06942][8763] the sabbath[07676] day[03117], and not to bear[05375][8800] a burden[04853], even entering in[0935][8800] at the gates[08179] of Jerusalem[03389] on the sabbath[07676] day[03117]; then will I kindle[03341][8689] a fire[0784] in the gates[08179] thereof, and it shall devour[0398][8804] the palaces[0759] of Jerusalem[03389], and it shall not be quenched[03518][8799].
20:12 The word[01697] which came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
20:13 Arise[06965][8798], and go down[03381][8804] to the potter's[03335][8802] house[01004], and there I will cause thee to hear[08085][8686] my words[01697].
20:14 Then I went down[03381][8799] to the potter's[03335][8802] house[01004], and, behold[02009], he wrought[06213][8802] a work[04399] on the wheels[070]. wheels: or, frames, or, seats
20:15 And the vessel[03627] that he made[06213][8802] of clay[02563] was marred[07843][8738] in the hand[03027] of the potter[03335][8802]: so he made[06213][8799] it again[07725][8804] another[0312] vessel[03627], as seemed[05869] good[03474][8804] to the potter[03335][8802] to make[06213][8800] it . of clay...: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the potter made it...: Heb. returned and made, etc
20:16 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to me, saying[0559][8800],
20:17 O house[01004] of Israel[03478], cannot[03201][8799] I do[06213][8800] with you as this potter[03335][8802]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. Behold, as the clay[02563] is  in the potter's[03335][8802] hand[03027], so are ye in mine hand[03027], O house[01004] of Israel[03478].
20:18 At what instant[07281] I shall speak[01696][8762] concerning a nation[01471], and concerning a kingdom[04467], to pluck up[05428][8800], and to pull down[05422][8800], and to destroy[06][8687] it ;
21:1 If that nation[01471], against whom I have pronounced[01696][8765], turn[07725][8804] from their evil[07451], I will repent[05162][8738] of the evil[07451] that I thought[02803][8804] to do[06213][8800] unto them.
21:2 And at what instant[07281] I shall speak[01696][8762] concerning a nation[01471], and concerning a kingdom[04467], to build[01129][8800] and to plant[05193][8800] it ;
21:3 If it do[06213][8804] evil[07451] in my sight[05869], that it obey[08085][8800] not my voice[06963], then I will repent[05162][8738] of the good[02896], wherewith I said[0559][8804] I would benefit[03190][8687] them.
21:4 Now therefore go to, speak[0559][8798] to the men[0376] of Judah[03063], and to the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I frame[03335][8802] evil[07451] against you, and devise[02803][8802] a device[04284] against you: return[07725][8798] ye now every one[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870], and make your ways[01870] and your doings[04611] good[03190][8685].
21:5 And they said[0559][8804], There is no hope[02976][8737]: but we will walk[03212][8799] after[0310] our own devices[04284], and we will every one[0376] do[06213][8799] the imagination[08307] of his evil[07451] heart[03820].
21:6 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Ask[07592][8798] ye now among the heathen[01471], who hath heard[08085][8804] such things: the virgin[01330] of Israel[03478] hath done[06213][8804] a very[03966] horrible thing[08186].
21:7 Will a man leave[05800][8799] the snow[07950] of Lebanon[03844] which cometh from the rock[06697] of the field[07704]? or shall the cold[07119] flowing[05140][8802] waters[04325] that come from another place[02114][8801] be forsaken[05428][8735]? the snow...: or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters?
21:8 Because my people[05971] hath forgotten[07911][8804] me, they have burned incense[06999][8762] to vanity[07723], and they have caused them to stumble[03782][8686] in their ways[01870] from the ancient[05769] paths[07635][8675][07635], to walk[03212][8800] in paths[05410], in a way[01870] not cast up[05549][8803];
21:9 To make[07760][8800] their land[0776] desolate[08047], and a perpetual[05769] hissing[08292][8675][08292]; every one that passeth[05674][8802] thereby shall be astonished[08074][8799], and wag[05110][8686] his head[07218].
21:10 I will scatter[06327][8686] them as with an east[06921] wind[07307] before[06440] the enemy[0341][8802]; I will shew[07200][8799] them the back[06203], and not the face[06440], in the day[03117] of their calamity[0343].
21:11 Then said[0559][8799] they, Come[03212][8798], and let us devise[02803][8799] devices[04284] against Jeremiah[03414]; for the law[08451] shall not perish[06][8799] from the priest[03548], nor counsel[06098] from the wise[02450], nor the word[01697] from the prophet[05030]. Come[03212][8798], and let us smite[05221][8686] him with the tongue[03956], and let us not give heed[07181][8686] to any of his words[01697]. with...: or, for the tongue
21:12 Give heed[07181][8685] to me, O LORD[03068], and hearken[08085][8798] to the voice[06963] of them that contend[03401] with me.
21:13 Shall evil[07451] be recompensed[07999][8792] for good[02896]? for they have digged[03738][8804] a pit[07745] for my soul[05315]. Remember[02142][8798] that I stood[05975][8800] before[06440] thee to speak[01696][8763] good[02896] for them, and to turn away[07725][8687] thy wrath[02534] from them.
21:14 Therefore deliver up[05414][8798] their children[01121] to the famine[07458], and pour out[05064][8685] their blood by the force[03027] of the sword[02719]; and let their wives[0802] be bereaved[07909] of their children, and be widows[0490]; and let their men[0582] be put[02026][8803] to death[04194]; let their young men[0970] be slain[05221][8716] by the sword[02719] in battle[04421]. pour...: Heb. pour them out
22:1 Let a cry[02201] be heard[08085][8735] from their houses[01004], when thou shalt bring[0935][8686] a troop[01416] suddenly[06597] upon them: for they have digged[03738][8804] a pit[07745][8675][07882] to take[03920][8800] me, and hid[02934][8804] snares[06341] for my feet[07272].
22:2 Yet, LORD[03068], thou knowest[03045][8804] all their counsel[06098] against me to slay[04194] me : forgive[03722][8762] not their iniquity[05771], neither blot out[04229][8686] their sin[02403] from thy sight[06440], but let them be overthrown[03782][8716] before[06440] thee; deal[06213][8798] thus with them in the time[06256] of thine anger[0639]. to slay...: Heb. for death
22:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Go[01980][8800] and get[07069][8804] a potter's[03335][8802] earthen[02789] bottle[01228], and take of the ancients[02205] of the people[05971], and of the ancients[02205] of the priests[03548];
22:4 And go forth[03318][8804] unto the valley[01516] of the son[01121] of Hinnom[02011], which is by the entry[06607] of the east[02777] gate[08179], and proclaim[07121][8804] there the words[01697] that I shall tell[01696][8762] thee, the east...: Heb. the sun gate
22:5 And say[0559][8804], Hear[08085][8798] ye the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], O kings[04428] of Judah[03063], and inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] evil[07451] upon this place[04725], the which whosoever heareth[08085][8802], his ears[0241] shall tingle[06750][8799].
22:6 Because they have forsaken[05800][8804] me, and have estranged[05234][8762] this place[04725], and have burned incense[06999][8762] in it unto other[0312] gods[0430], whom neither they nor their fathers[01] have known[03045][8804], nor the kings[04428] of Judah[03063], and have filled[04390][8804] this place[04725] with the blood[01818] of innocents[05355];
22:7 They have built[01129][8804] also the high places[01116] of Baal[01168], to burn[08313][8800] their sons[01121] with fire[0784] for burnt offerings[05930] unto Baal[01168], which I commanded[06680][8765] not, nor spake[01696][8765] it , neither came[05927][8804] it into my mind[03820]:
22:8 Therefore, behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that this place[04725] shall no more be called[07121][8735] Tophet[08612], nor The valley[01516] of the son[01121] of Hinnom[02011], but The valley[01516] of slaughter[02028].
22:9 And I will make void[01238][8804] the counsel[06098] of Judah[03063] and Jerusalem[03389] in this place[04725]; and I will cause them to fall[05307][8689] by the sword[02719] before[06440] their enemies[0341][8802], and by the hands[03027] of them that seek[01245][8764] their lives[05315]: and their carcases[05038] will I give[05414][8804] to be meat[03978] for the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064], and for the beasts[0929] of the earth[0776].
22:10 And I will make[07760][8804] this city[05892] desolate[08047], and an hissing[08322]; every one that passeth[05674][8802] thereby shall be astonished[08074][8799] and hiss[08319][8799] because of all the plagues[04347] thereof.
22:11 And I will cause them to eat[0398][8689] the flesh[01320] of their sons[01121] and the flesh[01320] of their daughters[01323], and they shall eat[0398][8799] every one[0376] the flesh[01320] of his friend[07453] in the siege[04692] and straitness[04689], wherewith their enemies[0341][8802], and they that seek[01245][8764] their lives[05315], shall straiten[06693][8686] them.
22:12 Then shalt thou break[07665][8804] the bottle[01228] in the sight[05869] of the men[0582] that go[01980][8802] with thee,
22:13 And shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Even so[03602] will I break[07665][8799] this people[05971] and this city[05892], as one breaketh[07665][8799] a potter's[03335][8802] vessel[03627], that cannot[03201][8799] be made whole again[07495][8736]: and they shall bury[06912][8799] them in Tophet[08612], till there be no place[04725] to bury[06912][8800]. be made...: Heb. be healed
22:14 Thus will I do[06213][8799] unto this place[04725], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and to the inhabitants[03427][8802] thereof, and even make[05414][8800] this city[05892] as Tophet[08612]:
22:15 And the houses[01004] of Jerusalem[03389], and the houses[01004] of the kings[04428] of Judah[03063], shall be defiled[02931] as the place[04725] of Tophet[08612], because of all the houses[01004] upon whose roofs[01406] they have burned incense[06999][8765] unto all the host[06635] of heaven[08064], and have poured out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto other[0312] gods[0430].
22:16 Then came[0935][8799] Jeremiah[03414] from Tophet[08612], whither the LORD[03068] had sent[07971][8804] him to prophesy[05012][8736]; and he stood[05975][8799] in the court[02691] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004]; and said[0559][8799] to all the people[05971],
22:17 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] upon this city[05892] and upon all her towns[05892] all the evil[07451] that I have pronounced[01696][8765] against it, because they have hardened[07185][8689] their necks[06203], that they might not hear[08085][8800] my words[01697].
22:18 Now Pashur[06583] the son[01121] of Immer[0564] the priest[03548], who was also chief[06496] governor[05057] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], heard[08085][8799] that Jeremiah[03414] prophesied[05012][8738] these things[01697].
22:19 Then Pashur[06583] smote[05221][8686] Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030], and put[05414][8799] him in the stocks[04115] that were in the high[05945] gate[08179] of Benjamin[01144], which was by the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
22:20 And it came to pass on the morrow[04283], that Pashur[06583] brought forth[03318][8686] Jeremiah[03414] out of the stocks[04115]. Then said[0559][8799] Jeremiah[03414] unto him, The LORD[03068] hath not called[07121][8804] thy name[08034] Pashur[06583], but Magormissabib[04036]. Magormissabib: that is, Fear round about
22:21 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, I will make[05414][8802] thee a terror[04032] to thyself, and to all thy friends[0157][8802]: and they shall fall[05307][8804] by the sword[02719] of their enemies[0341][8802], and thine eyes[05869] shall behold[07200][8802] it : and I will give[05414][8799] all Judah[03063] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall carry them captive[01540][8689] into Babylon[0894], and shall slay[05221][8689] them with the sword[02719].
22:22 Moreover I will deliver[05414][8804] all the strength[02633] of this city[05892], and all the labours[03018] thereof, and all the precious things[03366] thereof, and all the treasures[0214] of the kings[04428] of Judah[03063] will I give[05414][8799] into the hand[03027] of their enemies[0341][8802], which shall spoil[0962][8804] them, and take[03947][8804] them, and carry[0935][8689] them to Babylon[0894].
22:23 And thou, Pashur[06583], and all that dwell[03427][8802] in thine house[01004] shall go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]: and thou shalt come[0935][8799] to Babylon[0894], and there thou shalt die[04191][8799], and shalt be buried[06912][8735] there, thou, and all thy friends[0157][8802], to whom thou hast prophesied[05012][8738] lies[08267].
22:24 O LORD[03068], thou hast deceived[06601][8765] me, and I was deceived[06601][8735]: thou art stronger[02388][8804] than I, and hast prevailed[03201][8799]: I am in derision[07814] daily[03117], every one mocketh[03932][8802] me. was deceived: or, was enticed
22:25 For since[01767] I spake[01696][8762], I cried out[02199][8799], I cried[07121][8799] violence[02555] and spoil[07701]; because the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] was made a reproach[02781] unto me, and a derision[07047], daily[03117].
22:26 Then I said[0559][8804], I will not make mention[02142][8799] of him, nor speak[01696][8762] any more in his name[08034]. But his word was in mine heart[03820] as a burning[01197][8802] fire[0784] shut up[06113][8803] in my bones[06106], and I was weary[03811][8738] with forbearing[03557][8771], and I could[03201][8799] not stay .
22:27 For I heard[08085][8804] the defaming[01681] of many[07227], fear[04032] on every side[05439]. Report[05046][8685], say they , and we will report[05046][8686] it. All my familiars[0582][07965] watched[08104][8802] for my halting[06763][8676][06761], saying , Peradventure he will be enticed[06601][8792], and we shall prevail[03201][8799] against him, and we shall take[03947][8799] our revenge[05360] on him. All...: Heb. Every man of my peace
22:28 But the LORD[03068] is with me as a mighty[01368] terrible one[06184]: therefore my persecutors[07291][8802] shall stumble[03782][8735], and they shall not prevail[03201][8799]: they shall be greatly[03966] ashamed[0954][8804]; for they shall not prosper[07919][8689]: their everlasting[05769] confusion[03639] shall never be forgotten[07911][8735].
22:29 But, O LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], that triest[0974][8802] the righteous[06662], and seest[07200][8802] the reins[03629] and the heart[03820], let me see[07200][8799] thy vengeance[05360] on them: for unto thee have I opened[01540][8765] my cause[07379].
22:30 Sing[07891][8798] unto the LORD[03068], praise[01984][8761] ye the LORD[03068]: for he hath delivered[05337][8689] the soul[05315] of the poor[034] from the hand[03027] of evildoers[07489][8688].
23:1 Cursed[0779][8803] be the day[03117] wherein I was born[03205][8795]: let not the day[03117] wherein my mother[0517] bare[03205][8804] me be blessed[01288][8803].
23:2 Cursed[0779][8803] be the man[0376] who brought tidings[01319][8765] to my father[01], saying[0559][8800], A man[02145] child[01121] is born[03205][8795] unto thee; making him very[08055][8763] glad[08055][8765].
23:3 And let that man[0376] be as the cities[05892] which the LORD[03068] overthrew[02015][8804], and repented[05162][8738] not: and let him hear[08085][8804] the cry[02201] in the morning[01242], and the shouting[08643] at noontide[06256][06672];
23:4 Because he slew[04191][8790] me not from the womb[07358]; or that my mother[0517] might have been my grave[06913], and her womb[07358] to be always[05769] great[02030] with me .
23:5 Wherefore came I forth[03318][8804] out of the womb[07358] to see[07200][8800] labour[05999] and sorrow[03015], that my days[03117] should be consumed[03615][8799] with shame[01322]?
23:6 The word[01697] which came unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], when king[04428] Zedekiah[06667] sent[07971][8800] unto him Pashur[06583] the son[01121] of Melchiah[04441], and Zephaniah[06846] the son[01121] of Maaseiah[04641] the priest[03548], saying[0559][8800],
23:7 Enquire[01875][8798], I pray thee, of the LORD[03068] for us[01157]; for Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] maketh war[03898][8737] against us; if so be that the LORD[03068] will deal[06213][8799] with us according to all his wondrous works[06381][8737], that he may go up[05927][8799] from us.
23:8 Then said[0559][8799] Jeremiah[03414] unto them, Thus shall ye say[0559][8799] to Zedekiah[06667]:
23:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will turn back[05437][8688] the weapons[03627] of war[04421] that are in your hands[03027], wherewith ye fight[03898][8737] against the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and against the Chaldeans[03778], which besiege[06696][8802] you without[02351] the walls[02346], and I will assemble[0622][8804] them into the midst[08432] of this city[05892].
23:10 And I myself will fight[03898][8738] against you with an outstretched[05186][8803] hand[03027] and with a strong[02389] arm[02220], even in anger[0639], and in fury[02534], and in great[01419] wrath[07110].
23:11 And I will smite[05221][8689] the inhabitants[03427][8802] of this city[05892], both man[0120] and beast[0929]: they shall die[04191][8799] of a great[01419] pestilence[01698].
23:12 And afterward[0310], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], I will deliver[05414][8799] Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063], and his servants[05650], and the people[05971], and such as are left[07604][8737] in this city[05892] from the pestilence[01698], from the sword[02719], and from the famine[07458], into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and into the hand[03027] of their enemies[0341][8802], and into the hand[03027] of those that seek[01245][8764] their life[05315]: and he shall smite[05221][8689] them with the edge[06310] of the sword[02719]; he shall not spare[02347][8799] them, neither have pity[02550][8799], nor have mercy[07355][8762].
23:13 And unto this people[05971] thou shalt say[0559][8799], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I set[05414][8802] before[06440] you the way[01870] of life[02416], and the way[01870] of death[04194].
23:14 He that abideth[03427][8802] in this city[05892] shall die[04191][8799] by the sword[02719], and by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698]: but he that goeth out[03318][8802], and falleth[05307][8804] to the Chaldeans[03778] that besiege[06696][8802] you, he shall live[02421][8804][8675][02421][8799], and his life[05315] shall be unto him for a prey[07998].
23:15 For I have set[07760][8804] my face[06440] against this city[05892] for evil[07451], and not for good[02896], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: it shall be given[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall burn[08313][8804] it with fire[0784].
23:16 And touching the house[01004] of the king[04428] of Judah[03063], say , Hear[08085][8798] ye the word[01697] of the LORD[03068];
23:17 O house[01004] of David[01732], thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Execute[01777][8798] judgment[04941] in the morning[01242], and deliver[05337][8685] him that is spoiled[01497][8803] out of the hand[03027] of the oppressor[06231][8802], lest my fury[02534] go out[03318][8799] like fire[0784], and burn[01197][8804] that none can quench[03518][8764] it , because[06440] of the evil[07455] of your doings[04611]. Execute: Heb. Judge
23:18 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant[03427][8802] of the valley[06010], and rock[06697] of the plain[04334], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; which say[0559][8802], Who shall come down[05181][8799] against us? or who shall enter[0935][8799] into our habitations[04585]? inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress
23:19 But I will punish[06485][8804] you according to the fruit[06529] of your doings[04611], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: and I will kindle[03341][8689] a fire[0784] in the forest[03293] thereof, and it shall devour[0398][8804] all things round about[05439] it. punish: Heb. visit upon
23:20 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Go down[03381][8798] to the house[01004] of the king[04428] of Judah[03063], and speak[01696][8765] there this word[01697],
23:21 And say[0559][8804], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], O king[04428] of Judah[03063], that sittest[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732], thou, and thy servants[05650], and thy people[05971] that enter[0935][8802] in by these gates[08179]:
23:22 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Execute[06213][8798] ye judgment[04941] and righteousness[06666], and deliver[05337][8685] the spoiled[01497][8803] out of the hand[03027] of the oppressor[06216]: and do no wrong[03238][8686], do no violence[02554][8799] to the stranger[01616], the fatherless[03490], nor the widow[0490], neither shed[08210][8799] innocent[05355] blood[01818] in this place[04725].
23:23 For if ye do[06213][8799] this thing[01697] indeed[06213][8800], then shall there enter in[0935][8804] by the gates[08179] of this house[01004] kings[04428] sitting[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732], riding[07392][8802] in chariots[07393] and on horses[05483], he, and his servants[05650], and his people[05971]. upon...: Heb. for David upon his throne
23:24 But if ye will not hear[08085][8799] these words[01697], I swear[07650][8738] by myself, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that this house[01004] shall become a desolation[02723].
23:25 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] unto the king's[04428] house[01004] of Judah[03063]; Thou art Gilead[01568] unto me, and the head[07218] of Lebanon[03844]: yet surely I will make[07896][8799] thee a wilderness[04057], and cities[05892] which are not inhabited[03427][8738][8675][03427][8737].
23:26 And I will prepare[06942][8765] destroyers[07843][8688] against thee, every one[0376] with his weapons[03627]: and they shall cut down[03772][8804] thy choice[04005] cedars[0730], and cast[05307][8689] them into the fire[0784].
23:27 And many[07227] nations[01471] shall pass[05674][8804] by this city[05892], and they shall say[0559][8804] every man[0376] to his neighbour[07453], Wherefore hath the LORD[03068] done[06213][8804] thus unto this great[01419] city[05892]?
23:28 Then they shall answer[0559][8804], Because they have forsaken[05800][8804] the covenant[01285] of the LORD[03068] their God[0430], and worshipped[07812][8691] other[0312] gods[0430], and served[05647][8799] them.
23:29 Weep[01058][8799] ye not for the dead[04191][8801], neither bemoan[05110][8799] him: but weep[01058][8798] sore[01058][8800] for him that goeth away[01980][8802]: for he shall return[07725][8799] no more, nor see[07200][8804] his native[04138] country[0776].
23:30 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] touching[0413] Shallum[07967] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], which reigned[04427][8802] instead of Josiah[02977] his father[01], which went forth[03318][8804] out of this place[04725]; He shall not return[07725][8799] thither any more:
23:31 But he shall die[04191][8799] in the place[04725] whither they have led him captive[01540][8689], and shall see[07200][8799] this land[0776] no more.
23:32 Woe[01945] unto him that buildeth[01129][8802] his house[01004] by[03808] unrighteousness[06664], and his chambers[05944] by wrong[04941]; that useth his neighbour's[07453] service[05647][8799] without wages[02600], and giveth[05414][8799] him not for his work[06467];
23:33 That saith[0559][8802], I will build[01129][8799] me a wide[04060] house[01004] and large[07304][8794] chambers[05944], and cutteth him out[07167][8804] windows[02474]; and it is cieled[05603][8803] with cedar[0730], and painted[04886][8800] with vermilion[08350]. large: Heb. through-aired windows: or, my windows
23:34 Shalt thou reign[04427][8799], because thou closest[08474][8808] thyself in cedar[0730]? did not thy father[01] eat[0398][8804] and drink[08354][8804], and do[06213][8804] judgment[04941] and justice[06666],  and then it was well[02896] with him?
23:35 He judged[01777][8804] the cause[01779] of the poor[06041] and needy[034]; then it was well[02896] with him: was not this to know[01847] me? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
23:36 But thine eyes[05869] and thine heart[03820] are not but for thy covetousness[01215], and for to shed[08210][8800] innocent[05355] blood[01818], and for oppression[06233], and for violence[04835], to do[06213][8800] it . violence: or, incursion
23:37 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] concerning Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063]; They shall not lament[05594][8799] for him, saying , Ah[01945] my brother[0251]! or, Ah[01945] sister[0269]! they shall not lament[05594][8799] for him, saying , Ah[01945] lord[0113]! or, Ah[01945] his glory[01935]!
23:38 He shall be buried[06912][8735] with the burial[06900] of an ass[02543], drawn[05498][8800] and cast forth[07993][8687] beyond[01973] the gates[08179] of Jerusalem[03389].
23:39 Go up[05927][8798] to Lebanon[03844], and cry[06817][8798]; and lift up[05414][8798] thy voice[06963] in Bashan[01316], and cry[06817][8798] from the passages[05676]: for all thy lovers[0157][8764] are destroyed[07665][8738].
23:40 I spake[01696][8765] unto thee in thy prosperity[07962]; but thou saidst[0559][8804], I will not hear[08085][8799]. This hath been thy manner[01870] from thy youth[05271], that thou obeyedst[08085][8804] not my voice[06963]. prosperity: Heb. prosperities
24:1 The wind[07307] shall eat up[07462][8799] all thy pastors[07462][8802], and thy lovers[0157][8764] shall go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]: surely then shalt thou be ashamed[0954][8799] and confounded[03637][8738] for all thy wickedness[07451].
24:2 O inhabitant[03427][8802] of Lebanon[03844], that makest thy nest[07077][8794] in the cedars[0730], how gracious[02603][8738] shalt thou be when pangs[02256] come[0935][8800] upon thee, the pain[02427] as of a woman in travail[03205][8802]! inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress
24:3 As I live[02416], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], though Coniah[03659] the son[01121] of Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063] were the signet[02368] upon my right[03225] hand[03027], yet would I pluck[05423][8799] thee thence;
24:4 And I will give[05414][8804] thee into the hand[03027] of them that seek[01245][8764] thy life[05315], and into the hand[03027] of them whose face[06440] thou fearest[03016][8801], even into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778].
24:5 And I will cast thee out[02904][8689], and thy mother[0517] that bare[03205][8804] thee, into another[0312] country[0776], where ye were not born[03205][8795]; and there shall ye die[04191][8799].
24:6 But to the land[0776] whereunto they desire[05375][8764][8676][05315] to return[07725][8800], thither shall they not return[07725][8799]. desire: Heb. lift up their mind
24:7 Is this man[0376] Coniah[03659] a despised[0959][8737] broken[05310][8803] idol[06089]? is he a vessel[03627] wherein is no pleasure[02656]? wherefore are they cast out[07993][8717], he and his seed[02233], and are cast[02904][8717] into a land[0776] which they know[03045][8804] not?
24:8 O earth[0776], earth[0776], earth[0776], hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068].
24:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Write[03789][8798] ye this man[0376] childless[06185], a man[01397] that shall not prosper[06743][8799] in his days[03117]: for no man[0376] of his seed[02233] shall prosper[06743][8799], sitting[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732], and ruling[04910][8802] any more in Judah[03063].
24:10 Woe[01945] be unto the pastors[07462][8802] that destroy[06][8764] and scatter[06327][8688] the sheep[06629] of my pasture[04830]! saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:1 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478] against the pastors[07462][8802] that feed[07462][8802] my people[05971]; Ye have scattered[06327][8689] my flock[06629], and driven them away[05080][8686], and have not visited[06485][8804] them: behold, I will visit[06485][8802] upon you the evil[07455] of your doings[04611], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:2 And I will gather[06908][8762] the remnant[07611] of my flock[06629] out of all countries[0776] whither I have driven[05080][8689] them, and will bring them again[07725][8689] to their folds[05116]; and they shall be fruitful[06509][8804] and increase[07235][8804].
25:3 And I will set up[06965][8689] shepherds[07462][8802] over them which shall feed[07462][8804] them: and they shall fear[03372][8799] no more, nor be dismayed[02865][8735], neither shall they be lacking[06485][8735], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:4 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will raise[06965][8689] unto David[01732] a righteous[06662] Branch[06780], and a King[04428] shall reign[04427][8804] and prosper[07919][8689], and shall execute[06213][8804] judgment[04941] and justice[06666] in the earth[0776].
25:5 In his days[03117] Judah[03063] shall be saved[03467][8735], and Israel[03478] shall dwell[07931][8799] safely[0983]: and this is his name[08034] whereby he shall be called[07121][8799], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS[03072]. THE LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu
25:6 Therefore, behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that they shall no more say[0559][8799], The LORD[03068] liveth[02416], which brought up[05927][8689] the children[01121] of Israel[03478] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714];
25:7 But, The LORD[03068] liveth[02416], which brought up[05927][8689] and which led[0935][8689] the seed[02233] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478] out of the north[06828] country[0776], and from all countries[0776] whither I had driven[05080][8689] them; and they shall dwell[03427][8804] in their own land[0127].
25:8 Mine heart[03820] within[07130] me is broken[07665][8738] because of the prophets[05030]; all my bones[06106] shake[07363][8804]; I am like a drunken[07910] man[0376], and like a man[01397] whom wine[03196] hath overcome[05674][8804], because[06440] of the LORD[03068], and because of the words[01697] of his holiness[06944].
25:9 For the land[0776] is full[04390][8804] of adulterers[05003][8764]; for because[06440] of swearing[0423] the land[0776] mourneth[056][8804]; the pleasant places[04999] of the wilderness[04057] are dried up[03001][8804], and their course[04794] is evil[07451], and their force[01369] is not right. swearing: or, cursing course: or, violence
25:10 For both prophet[05030] and priest[03548] are profane[02610][8804]; yea, in my house[01004] have I found[04672][8804] their wickedness[07451], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:11 Wherefore their way[01870] shall be unto them as slippery[02519] ways in the darkness[0653]: they shall be driven on[01760][8735], and fall[05307][8804] therein: for I will bring[0935][8686] evil[07451] upon them,  even the year[08141] of their visitation[06486], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:12 And I have seen[07200][8804] folly[08604] in the prophets[05030] of Samaria[08111]; they prophesied[05012][8694] in Baal[01168], and caused my people[05971] Israel[03478] to err[08582][8686]. folly: or, an absurd thing: Heb. unsavoury
25:13 I have seen[07200][8804] also in the prophets[05030] of Jerusalem[03389] an horrible thing[08186]: they commit adultery[05003][8800], and walk[01980][8800] in lies[08267]: they strengthen[02388][8765] also the hands[03027] of evildoers[07489][8688], that none[0376] doth return[07725][8804] from his wickedness[07451]: they are all of them unto me as Sodom[05467], and the inhabitants[03427][8802] thereof as Gomorrah[06017]. an...: or, filthiness
25:14 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] concerning the prophets[05030]; Behold, I will feed[0398][8688] them with wormwood[03939], and make them drink[08248][8689] the water[04325] of gall[07219]: for from the prophets[05030] of Jerusalem[03389] is profaneness[02613] gone forth[03318][8804] into all the land[0776]. profaneness: or, hypocrisy
25:15 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], Hearken[08085][8799] not unto the words[01697] of the prophets[05030] that prophesy[05012][8737] unto you: they make you vain[01891][8688]: they speak[01696][8762] a vision[02377] of their own heart[03820], and not out of the mouth[06310] of the LORD[03068].
25:16 They say[0559][8802] still[0559][8800] unto them that despise[05006][8764] me, The LORD[03068] hath said[01696][8765], Ye shall have peace[07965]; and they say[0559][8804] unto every one that walketh[01980][8802] after the imagination[08307] of his own heart[03820], No evil[07451] shall come[0935][8799] upon you. imagination: or, stubbornness
25:17 For who hath stood[05975][8804] in the counsel[05475] of the LORD[03068], and hath perceived[07200][8799] and heard[08085][8799] his word[01697]? who hath marked[07181][8689] his word[01697], and heard[08085][8799]  it ? counsel: or, secret
25:18 Behold, a whirlwind[05591] of the LORD[03068] is gone forth[03318][8804] in fury[02534], even a grievous[02342][8711] whirlwind[05591]: it shall fall grievously[02342][8799] upon the head[07218] of the wicked[07563].
25:19 The anger[0639] of the LORD[03068] shall not return[07725][8799], until he have executed[06213][8800], and till he have performed[06965][8687] the thoughts[04209] of his heart[03820]: in the latter[0319] days[03117] ye shall consider[0995][8709] it perfectly[0998].
25:20 I have not sent[07971][8804] these prophets[05030], yet they ran[07323][8804]: I have not spoken[01696][8765] to them, yet they prophesied[05012][8738].
25:21 But if they had stood[05975][8804] in my counsel[05475], and had caused my people[05971] to hear[08085][8686] my words[01697], then they should have turned[07725][8686] them from their evil[07451] way[01870], and from the evil[07455] of their doings[04611].
25:22 Am I a God[0430] at hand[07138], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and not a God[0430] afar off[07350]?
25:23 Can any[0376] hide[05641][8735] himself in secret places[04565] that I shall not see[07200][8799] him? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. Do not I fill[04392] heaven[08064] and earth[0776]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:24 I have heard[08085][8804] what the prophets[05030] said[0559][8804], that prophesy[05012][8737] lies[08267] in my name[08034], saying[0559][8800], I have dreamed[02492][8804], I have dreamed[02492][8804].
25:25 How long shall this be[03426] in the heart[03820] of the prophets[05030] that prophesy[05012][8737] lies[08267]? yea, they are prophets[05030] of the deceit[08649] of their own heart[03820];
25:26 Which think[02803][8802] to cause my people[05971] to forget[07911][8687] my name[08034] by their dreams[02472] which they tell[05608][8762] every man[0376] to his neighbour[07453], as their fathers[01] have forgotten[07911][8804] my name[08034] for Baal[01168].
25:27 The prophet[05030] that hath a dream[02472], let him tell[05608][8762] a dream[02472]; and he that hath my word[01697], let him speak[01696][8762] my word[01697] faithfully[0571]. What is the chaff[08401] to the wheat[01250]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc
25:28 Is not my word[01697] like[03541] as a fire[0784]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and like a hammer[06360] that breaketh[06327][00] the rock[05553] in pieces[06327][8787]?
25:29 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets[05030], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that steal[01589][8764] my words[01697] every one[0376] from his neighbour[07453].
25:30 Behold, I am against the prophets[05030], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that use[03947][8802] their tongues[03956], and say[05001][8799], He saith[05002][8803]. that...: or, that smooth their tongues
25:31 Behold, I am against them that prophesy[05012][8737] false[08267] dreams[02472], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and do tell[05608][8762] them, and cause my people[05971] to err[08582][8686] by their lies[08267], and by their lightness[06350]; yet I sent[07971][8804] them not, nor commanded[06680][8765] them: therefore they shall not profit[03276][8686] this people[05971] at all[03276][8687], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:32 And when this people[05971], or the prophet[05030], or a priest[03548], shall ask[07592][8799] thee, saying[0559][8800], What is the burden[04853] of the LORD[03068]? thou shalt then say[0559][8804] unto them, What burden[04853]? I will even forsake[05203][8804] you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
25:33 And as for the prophet[05030], and the priest[03548], and the people[05971], that shall say[0559][8799], The burden[04853] of the LORD[03068], I will even punish[06485][8804] that man[0376] and his house[01004]. punish: Heb. visit upon
25:34 Thus shall ye say[0559][8799] every one[0376] to his neighbour[07453], and every one[0376] to his brother[0251], What hath the LORD[03068] answered[06030][8804]? and, What hath the LORD[03068] spoken[01696][8765]?
25:35 And the burden[04853] of the LORD[03068] shall ye mention[02142][8799] no more: for every man's[0376] word[01697] shall be his burden[04853]; for ye have perverted[02015][8804] the words[01697] of the living[02416] God[0430], of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] our God[0430].
25:36 Thus shalt thou say[0559][8799] to the prophet[05030], What hath the LORD[03068] answered[06030][8804] thee? and, What hath the LORD[03068] spoken[01696][8765]?
25:37 But[0518] since ye say[0559][8799], The burden[04853] of the LORD[03068]; therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Because ye say[0559][8800] this word[01697], The burden[04853] of the LORD[03068], and I have sent[07971][8799] unto you, saying[0559][8800], Ye shall not say[0559][8799], The burden[04853] of the LORD[03068];
25:38 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly[05377][8800] forget[05382][8804] you, and I will forsake[05203][8804] you, and the city[05892] that I gave[05414][8804] you and your fathers[01], and cast you out of my presence[06440]:
26:1 And I will bring[05414][8804] an everlasting[05769] reproach[02781] upon you, and a perpetual[05769] shame[03640], which shall not be forgotten[07911][8735].
26:2 The LORD[03068] shewed[07200][8689] me, and, behold, two[08147] baskets[01736] of figs[08384] were set[03259][8716] before[06440] the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], after[0310] that Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] had carried away captive[01540][8687] Jeconiah[03204] the son[01121] of Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063], and the princes[08269] of Judah[03063], with the carpenters[02796] and smiths[04525], from Jerusalem[03389], and had brought[0935][8686] them to Babylon[0894].
26:3 One[0259] basket[01731] had very[03966] good[02896] figs[08384], even like the figs[08384] that are first ripe[01073]: and the other[0259] basket[01731] had very[03966] naughty[07451] figs[08384], which could not be eaten[0398][8735], they were so bad[07455]. they...: Heb. for badness
26:4 Then said[0559][8799] the LORD[03068] unto me, What seest[07200][8802] thou, Jeremiah[03414]? And I said[0559][8799], Figs[08384]; the good[02896] figs[08384], very[03966] good[02896]; and the evil[07451], very[03966] evil[07451], that cannot be eaten[0398][8735], they are so evil[07455].
26:5 Again the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
26:6 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Like these good[02896] figs[08384], so will I acknowledge[05234][8686] them that are carried away captive[01546] of Judah[03063], whom I have sent[07971][8765] out of this place[04725] into the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778] for their good[02896]. them...: Heb. the captivity
26:7 For I will set[07760][8804] mine eyes[05869] upon them for good[02896], and I will bring them again[07725][8689] to this land[0776]: and I will build[01129][8804] them, and not pull them down[02040][8799]; and I will plant[05193][8804] them, and not pluck them up[05428][8799].
26:8 And I will give[05414][8804] them an heart[03820] to know[03045][8800] me, that I am the LORD[03068]: and they shall be my people[05971], and I will be their God[0430]: for they shall return[07725][8799] unto me with their whole heart[03820].
26:9 And as the evil[07451] figs[08384], which cannot be eaten[0398][8735], they are so evil[07455]; surely thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], So will I give[05414][8799] Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] of Judah[03063], and his princes[08269], and the residue[07611] of Jerusalem[03389], that remain[07604][8737] in this land[0776], and them that dwell[03427][8802] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]:
26:10 And I will deliver[05414][8804] them to be removed[02189][8675][02113] into all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776] for their hurt[07451], to be a reproach[02781] and a proverb[04912], a taunt[08148] and a curse[07045], in all places[04725] whither I shall drive[05080][8686] them. to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation
26:11 And I will send[07971][8765] the sword[02719], the famine[07458], and the pestilence[01698], among them, till they be consumed[08552][8800] from off the land[0127] that I gave[05414][8804] unto them and to their fathers[01].
26:12 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] concerning all the people[05971] of Judah[03063] in the fourth[07243] year[08141] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], that was  the first[07224] year[08141] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894];
26:13 The which Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] spake[01696][8765] unto all the people[05971] of Judah[03063], and to all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], saying[0559][8800],
26:14 From the thirteenth[07969][06240] year[08141] of Josiah[02977] the son[01121] of Amon[0526] king[04428] of Judah[03063], even unto this day[03117], that is the three[07969] and twentieth[06242] year[08141], the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] hath come unto me, and I have spoken[01696][8762] unto you, rising early[07925][8687] and speaking[01696][8763]; but ye have not hearkened[08085][8804].
26:15 And the LORD[03068] hath sent[07971][8804] unto you all his servants[05650] the prophets[05030], rising early[07925][8687] and sending[07971][8800] them ; but ye have not hearkened[08085][8804], nor inclined[05186][8689] your ear[0241] to hear[08085][8800].
26:16 They said[0559][8800], Turn ye again[07725][8798] now every one[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870], and from the evil[07455] of your doings[04611], and dwell[03427][8798] in the land[0127] that the LORD[03068] hath given[05414][8804] unto you and to your fathers[01] for[05704] ever[05769] and ever[05769]:
26:17 And go[03212][8799] not after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430] to serve[05647][8800] them, and to worship[07812][8692] them, and provoke me not to anger[03707][8686] with the works[04639] of your hands[03027]; and I will do you no hurt[07489][8686].
26:18 Yet ye have not hearkened[08085][8804] unto me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; that ye might provoke me to anger[03707][8687] with the works[04639] of your hands[03027] to your own hurt[07451].
26:19 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Because ye have not heard[08085][8804] my words[01697],
26:20 Behold, I will send[07971][8802] and take[03947][8804] all the families[04940] of the north[06828], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and Nebuchadrezzar[05019] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], my servant[05650], and will bring[0935][8689] them against this land[0776], and against the inhabitants[03427][8802] thereof, and against all these nations[01471] round about[05439], and will utterly destroy[02763][8689] them, and make[07760][8804] them an astonishment[08047], and an hissing[08322], and perpetual[05769] desolations[02723].
26:21 Moreover I will take[06][8689] from them the voice[06963] of mirth[08342], and the voice[06963] of gladness[08057], the voice[06963] of the bridegroom[02860], and the voice[06963] of the bride[03618], the sound[06963] of the millstones[07347], and the light[0216] of the candle[05216]. I will...: Heb. I will cause to perish from them

26:23 And it shall come to pass, when seventy[07657] years[08141] are accomplished[04390][8800], that I will punish[06485][8799] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and that nation[01471], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], for their iniquity[05771], and the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778], and will make[07760][8804] it perpetual[05769] desolations[08077]. punish: Heb. visit upon
26:24 And I will bring[0935][8689] upon that land[0776] all my words[01697] which I have pronounced[01696][8765] against it, even all that is written[03789][8803] in this book[05612], which Jeremiah[03414] hath prophesied[05012][8738] against all the nations[01471].
27:1 For many[07227] nations[01471] and great[01419] kings[04428] shall serve[05647][8804] themselves of them also: and I will recompense[07999][8765] them according to their deeds[06467], and according to the works[04639] of their own hands[03027].
27:2 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478] unto me; Take[03947][8798] the wine[03196] cup[03563] of this fury[02534] at my hand[03027], and cause all the nations[01471], to whom I send[07971][8802] thee, to drink[08248][8689] it.
27:3 And they shall drink[08354][8804], and be moved[01607][8707], and be mad[01984][8703], because[06440] of the sword[02719] that I will send[07971][8802] among them.
27:4 Then took[03947][8799] I the cup[03563] at the LORD'S[03068] hand[03027], and made all the nations[01471] to drink[08248][8686], unto whom the LORD[03068] had sent[07971][8804] me:

27:14 Therefore thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Drink[08354][8798] ye, and be drunken[07937][8798], and spue[07006][8798], and fall[05307][8798], and rise[06965][8799] no more, because[06440] of the sword[02719] which I will send[07971][8802] among you.
27:15 And it shall be, if they refuse[03985][8762] to take[03947][8800] the cup[03563] at thine hand[03027] to drink[08354][8800], then shalt thou say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Ye shall certainly[08354][8800] drink[08354][8799].

27:18 A noise[07588] shall come[0935][8804] even to the ends[07097] of the earth[0776]; for the LORD[03068] hath a controversy[07379] with the nations[01471], he will plead[08199][8737] with all flesh[01320]; he will give[05414][8804] them that are wicked[07563] to the sword[02719], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].

27:20 And the slain[02491] of the LORD[03068] shall be at that day[03117] from one end[07097] of the earth[0776] even unto the other end[07097] of the earth[0776]: they shall not be lamented[05594][8735], neither gathered[0622][8735], nor buried[06912][8735]; they shall be dung[01828] upon[06440] the ground[0127].

28:3 He hath forsaken[05800][8804] his covert[05520], as the lion[03715]: for their land[0776] is desolate[08047] because[06440] of the fierceness[02740] of the oppressor[03238][8802], and because[06440] of his fierce[02740] anger[0639]. desolate: Heb. a desolation

28:5 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Stand[05975][8798] in the court[02691] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], and speak[01696][8765] unto all the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], which come[0935][8802] to worship[07812][8692] in the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], all the words[01697] that I command[06680][8765] thee to speak[01696][8763] unto them; diminish[01639][8799] not a word[01697]:
28:6 If so be they will hearken[08085][8799], and turn[07725][8799] every man[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870], that I may repent[05162][8738] me of the evil[07451], which I purpose[02803][8802] to do[06213][8800] unto them because[06440] of the evil[07455] of their doings[04611].
28:7 And thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; If ye will not hearken[08085][8799] to me, to walk[03212][8800] in my law[08451], which I have set[05414][8804] before[06440] you,
28:8 To hearken[08085][8800] to the words[01697] of my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], whom I sent[07971][8802] unto you, both rising up early[07925][8687], and sending[07971][8800] them , but ye have not hearkened[08085][8804];
28:9 Then will I make[05414][8804] this house[01004] like Shiloh[07887], and will make[05414][8799] this city[05892] a curse[07045] to all the nations[01471] of the earth[0776].
28:10 So the priests[03548] and the prophets[05030] and all the people[05971] heard[08085][8799] Jeremiah[03414] speaking[01696][8764] these words[01697] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
28:11 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah[03414] had made an end[03615][8763] of speaking[01696][8763] all that the LORD[03068] had commanded[06680][8765] him to speak[01696][8763] unto all the people[05971], that the priests[03548] and the prophets[05030] and all the people[05971] took[08610][8799] him, saying[0559][8800], Thou shalt surely[04191][8800] die[04191][8799].
28:12 Why hast thou prophesied[05012][8738] in the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800], This house[01004] shall be like Shiloh[07887], and this city[05892] shall be desolate[02717][8799] without an inhabitant[03427][8802]? And all the people[05971] were gathered[06950][8735] against Jeremiah[03414] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
28:13 When the princes[08269] of Judah[03063] heard[08085][8799] these things[01697], then they came up[05927][8799] from the king's[04428] house[01004] unto the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], and sat down[03427][8799] in the entry[06607] of the new[02319] gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house . in the...: or, at the door
28:14 Then spake[0559][8799] the priests[03548] and the prophets[05030] unto the princes[08269] and to all the people[05971], saying[0559][8800], This man[0376] is worthy[04941] to die[04194]; for he hath prophesied[05012][8738] against this city[05892], as ye have heard[08085][8804] with your ears[0241]. This man...: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man
28:15 Then spake[0559][8799] Jeremiah[03414] unto all the princes[08269] and to all the people[05971], saying[0559][8800], The LORD[03068] sent[07971][8804] me to prophesy[05012][8736] against this house[01004] and against this city[05892] all the words[01697] that ye have heard[08085][8804].
28:16 Therefore now amend[03190][8685] your ways[01870] and your doings[04611], and obey[08085][8798] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] your God[0430]; and the LORD[03068] will repent[05162][8735] him of the evil[07451] that he hath pronounced[01696][8765] against you.
28:17 As for me, behold, I am in your hand[03027]: do[06213][8798] with me as seemeth[05869] good[02896] and meet[03477] unto you. as...: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes
29:1 But know[03045][8799] ye for certain[03045][8800], that if ye put me to death[04191][8688], ye shall surely bring[05414][8802] innocent[05355] blood[01818] upon yourselves, and upon this city[05892], and upon the inhabitants[03427][8802] thereof: for of a truth[0571] the LORD[03068] hath sent[07971][8804] me unto you to speak[01696][8763] all these words[01697] in your ears[0241].
29:2 Then said[0559][8799] the princes[08269] and all the people[05971] unto the priests[03548] and to the prophets[05030]; This man[0376] is not worthy[04941] to die[04194]: for he hath spoken[01696][8765] to us in the name[08034] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
29:3 Then rose up[06965][8799] certain[0582] of the elders[02205] of the land[0776], and spake[0559][8799] to all the assembly[06951] of the people[05971], saying[0559][8800],
29:4 Micah[04320] the Morasthite[04183] prophesied[05012][8737] in the days[03117] of Hezekiah[02396] king[04428] of Judah[03063], and spake[0559][8799] to all the people[05971] of Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Zion[06726] shall be plowed[02790][8735] like a field[07704], and Jerusalem[03389] shall become heaps[05856], and the mountain[02022] of the house[01004] as the high places[01116] of a forest[03293].
29:5 Did Hezekiah[02396] king[04428] of Judah[03063] and all Judah[03063] put him at all[04191][8687] to death[04191][8689]? did he not fear[03373] the LORD[03068], and besought[02470][8762] the LORD[03068][06440], and the LORD[03068] repented[05162][8735] him of the evil[07451] which he had pronounced[01696][8765] against them?

29:6 And there was also a man[0376] that prophesied[05012][8693] in the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], Urijah[0223] the son[01121] of Shemaiah[08098] of Kirjathjearim[07157], who prophesied[05012][8735] against this city[05892] and against this land[0776] according to all the words[01697] of Jeremiah[03414]:
29:7 And when Jehoiakim[03079] the king[04428], with all his mighty men[01368], and all the princes[08269], heard[08085][8799] his words[01697], the king[04428] sought[01245][8762] to put him to death[04191][8687]: but when Urijah[0223] heard[08085][8799] it, he was afraid[03372][8799], and fled[01272][8799], and went[0935][8799] into Egypt[04714];
29:8 And Jehoiakim[03079] the king[04428] sent[07971][8799] men[0582] into Egypt[04714], namely , Elnathan[0494] the son[01121] of Achbor[05907], and certain men[0582] with him into Egypt[04714].
29:9 And they fetched forth[03318][8686] Urijah[0223] out of Egypt[04714], and brought[0935][8686] him unto Jehoiakim[03079] the king[04428]; who slew[05221][8686] him with the sword[02719], and cast[07993][8686] his dead body[05038] into the graves[06913] of the common[01121] people[05971]. common...: Heb. sons of the people
29:10 Nevertheless the hand[03027] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227] was with Jeremiah[03414], that they should not give[05414][8800] him into the hand[03027] of the people[05971] to put him to death[04191][8687].
29:11 In the beginning[07225] of the reign[04467] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063] came this word[01697] unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
29:12 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] to me; Make[06213][8798] thee bonds[04147] and yokes[04133], and put[05414][8804] them upon thy neck[06677], saith...: or, hath the LORD said
29:13 And send[07971][8765] them to the king[04428] of Edom[0123], and to the king[04428] of Moab[04124], and to the king[04428] of the Ammonites[01121][05983], and to the king[04428] of Tyrus[06865], and to the king[04428] of Zidon[06721], by the hand[03027] of the messengers[04397] which come[0935][8802] to Jerusalem[03389] unto Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063];
29:14 And command[06680][8765] them to say[0559][8800] unto their masters[0113], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Thus shall ye say[0559][8799] unto your masters[0113]; to say...: or, concerning their masters, saying
29:15 I have made[06213][8804] the earth[0776], the man[0120] and the beast[0929] that are upon[06440] the ground[0776], by my great[01419] power[03581] and by my outstretched[05186][8803] arm[02220], and have given[05414][8804] it unto whom it seemed[05869] meet[03474][8804] unto me.
29:16 And now have I given[05414][8804] all these lands[0776] into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadnezzar[05019] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], my servant[05650]; and the beasts[02416] of the field[07704] have I given[05414][8804] him also to serve[05647][8800] him.
29:17 And all nations[01471] shall serve[05647][8804] him, and his son[01121], and his son's[01121] son[01121], until the very time[06256] of his land[0776] come[0935][8800]: and then many[07227] nations[01471] and great[01419] kings[04428] shall serve[05647][8804] themselves of him.
29:18 And it shall come to pass, that the nation[01471] and kingdom[04467] which will not serve[05647][8799] the same Nebuchadnezzar[05019] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and that will not put[05414][8799] their neck[06677] under the yoke[05923] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], that nation[01471] will I punish[06485][8799], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], with the sword[02719], and with the famine[07458], and with the pestilence[01698], until I have consumed[08552][8800] them by his hand[03027].
29:19 Therefore hearken[08085][8799] not ye to your prophets[05030], nor to your diviners[07080][8802], nor to your dreamers[02472], nor to your enchanters[06049][8781], nor to your sorcerers[03786], which speak[0559][8802] unto you, saying[0559][8800], Ye shall not serve[05647][8799] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]: dreamers: Heb. dreams
29:20 For they prophesy[05012][8737] a lie[08267] unto you, to remove you far[07368][8687] from your land[0127]; and that I should drive you out[05080][8689], and ye should perish[06][8804].
29:21 But the nations[01471] that bring[0935][8686] their neck[06677] under the yoke[05923] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and serve[05647][8804] him, those will I let remain still[03240][8689] in their own land[0127], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and they shall till[05647][8804] it, and dwell[03427][8804] therein.
29:22 I spake[01696][8765] also to Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] according to all these words[01697], saying[0559][8800], Bring[0935][8685] your necks[06677] under the yoke[05923] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and serve[05647][8798] him and his people[05971], and live[02421][8798].
29:23 Why will ye die[04191][8799], thou and thy people[05971], by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698], as the LORD[03068] hath spoken[01696][8765] against the nation[01471] that will not serve[05647][8799] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]?
29:24 Therefore hearken[08085][8799] not unto the words[01697] of the prophets[05030] that speak[0559][8802] unto you, saying[0559][8800], Ye shall not serve[05647][8799] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]: for they prophesy[05012][8737] a lie[08267] unto you.
29:25 For I have not sent[07971][8804] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], yet they prophesy[05012][8737] a lie[08267] in my name[08034]; that I might drive you out[05080][8687], and that ye might perish[06][8804], ye, and the prophets[05030] that prophesy[05012][8737] unto you. a lie: Heb. in a lie, or, lyingly
29:26 Also I spake[01696][8765] to the priests[03548] and to all this people[05971], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Hearken[08085][8799] not to the words[01697] of your prophets[05030] that prophesy[05012][8737] unto you, saying[0559][8800], Behold, the vessels[03627] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004] shall now shortly[04120] be brought again[07725][8716] from Babylon[0894]: for they prophesy[05012][8737] a lie[08267] unto you.
29:27 Hearken[08085][8799] not unto them; serve[05647][8798] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and live[02421][8798]: wherefore should this city[05892] be laid waste[02723]?
29:28 But if they be prophets[05030], and if the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] be[03426] with them, let them now make intercession[06293][8799] to the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], that the vessels[03627] which are left[03498][8737] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], and in the house[01004] of the king[04428] of Judah[03063], and at Jerusalem[03389], go[0935][8804] not to Babylon[0894].
29:29 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] concerning the pillars[05982], and concerning the sea[03220], and concerning the bases[04350], and concerning the residue[03499] of the vessels[03627] that remain[03498][8737] in this city[05892],
29:30 Which Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] took[03947][8804] not, when he carried away captive[01540][8687] Jeconiah[03204] the son[01121] of Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063] from Jerusalem[03389] to Babylon[0894], and all the nobles[02715] of Judah[03063] and Jerusalem[03389];
29:31 Yea, thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], concerning the vessels[03627] that remain[03498][8737] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], and in the house[01004] of the king[04428] of Judah[03063] and of Jerusalem[03389];
29:32 They shall be carried[0935][8714] to Babylon[0894], and there shall they be until the day[03117] that I visit[06485][8800] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; then will I bring[05927][8689] them up, and restore[07725][8689] them to this place[04725].
30:1 And it came to pass the same year[08141], in the beginning[07225] of the reign[04467] of Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063], in the fourth[07243] year[08141], and in the fifth[02549] month[02320], that  Hananiah[02608] the son[01121] of Azur[05809] the prophet[05030], which was of Gibeon[01391], spake[0559][8804] unto me in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], in the presence[05869] of the priests[03548] and of all the people[05971], saying[0559][8800],
30:2 Thus speaketh[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], I have broken[07665][8804] the yoke[05923] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894].
30:3 Within two full[03117] years[08141] will I bring again[07725][8688] into this place[04725] all the vessels[03627] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], that Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] took away[03947][8804] from this place[04725], and carried[0935][8686] them to Babylon[0894]: two...: Heb. two years of days
30:4 And I will bring again[07725][8688] to this place[04725] Jeconiah[03204] the son[01121] of Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063], with all the captives[01546] of Judah[03063], that went[0935][8802] into Babylon[0894], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: for I will break[07665][8799] the yoke[05923] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]. captives: Heb. captivity
30:5 Then the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799] unto the prophet[05030] Hananiah[02608] in the presence[05869] of the priests[03548], and in the presence[05869] of all the people[05971] that stood[05975][8802] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068],
30:6 Even the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799], Amen[0543]: the LORD[03068] do[06213][8799] so: the LORD[03068] perform[06965][8686] thy words[01697] which thou hast prophesied[05012][8738], to bring again[07725][8687] the vessels[03627] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], and all that is carried away captive[01473], from Babylon[0894] into this place[04725].
30:7 Nevertheless hear[08085][8798] thou now this word[01697] that I speak[01696][8802] in thine ears[0241], and in the ears[0241] of all the people[05971];
30:8 The prophets[05030] that have been before[06440] me and before[06440] thee of old[05769] prophesied[05012][8735] both against many[07227] countries[0776], and against great[01419] kingdoms[04467], of war[04421], and of evil[07451], and of pestilence[01698].
30:9 The prophet[05030] which prophesieth[05012][8735] of peace[07965], when the word[01697] of the prophet[05030] shall come to pass[0935][8800], then[0227] shall the prophet[05030] be known[03045][8735], that the LORD[03068] hath truly[0571] sent[07971][8804] him.
30:10 Then Hananiah[02608] the prophet[05030] took[03947][8799] the yoke[04133] from off the prophet[05030] Jeremiah's[03414] neck[06677], and brake[07665][8799] it.
30:11 And Hananiah[02608] spake[0559][8799] in the presence[05869] of all the people[05971], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Even so will I break[07665][8799] the yoke[05923] of Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] from the neck[06677] of all nations[01471] within the space of two full[03117] years[08141]. And the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414] went[03212][8799] his way[01870].
30:12 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jeremiah[03414] the prophet , after[0310] that Hananiah[02608] the prophet[05030] had broken[07665][8800] the yoke[04133] from off the neck[06677] of the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
30:13 Go[01980][8800] and tell[0559][8804] Hananiah[02608], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Thou hast broken[07665][8804] the yokes[04133] of wood[06086]; but thou shalt make[06213][8804] for them yokes[04133] of iron[01270].
30:14 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; I have put[05414][8804] a yoke[05923] of iron[01270] upon the neck[06677] of all these nations[01471], that they may serve[05647][8800] Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894]; and they shall serve[05647][8804] him: and I have given[05414][8804] him the beasts[02416] of the field[07704] also.
30:15 Then said[0559][8799] the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414] unto Hananiah[02608] the prophet[05030], Hear[08085][8798] now, Hananiah[02608]; The LORD[03068] hath not sent[07971][8804] thee; but thou makest this people[05971] to trust[0982][8689] in a lie[08267].
30:16 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will cast[07971][8764] thee from off the face[06440] of the earth[0127]: this year[08141] thou shalt die[04191][8801], because thou hast taught[01696][8765] rebellion[05627] against the LORD[03068]. rebellion: Heb. revolt
30:17 So Hananiah[02608] the prophet[05030] died[04191][8799] the same year[08141] in the seventh[07637] month[02320].
30:18 Now these are the words[01697] of the letter[05612] that Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] sent[07971][8804] from Jerusalem[03389] unto the residue[03499] of the elders[02205] which were carried away captives[01473], and to the priests[03548], and to the prophets[05030], and to all the people[05971] whom Nebuchadnezzar[05019] had carried away captive[01540][8689] from Jerusalem[03389] to Babylon[0894];
30:19 (After[0310] that Jeconiah[03204] the king[04428], and the queen[01377], and the eunuchs[05631], the princes[08269] of Judah[03063] and Jerusalem[03389], and the carpenters[02796], and the smiths[04525], were departed[03318][8800] from Jerusalem[03389];) eunuchs: or, chamberlains
30:20 By the hand[03027] of Elasah[0501] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], and Gemariah[01587] the son[01121] of Hilkiah[02518], (whom Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] sent[07971][8804] unto Babylon[0894] to Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894]) saying[0559][8800],
30:21 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], unto all that are carried away captives[01473], whom I have caused to be carried away[01540][8689] from Jerusalem[03389] unto Babylon[0894];
30:22 Build[01129][8798] ye houses[01004], and dwell[03427][8798] in them ; and plant[05193][8798] gardens[01593], and eat[0398][8798] the fruit[06529] of them;
30:23 Take[03947][8798] ye wives[0802], and beget[03205][8685] sons[01121] and daughters[01323]; and take[03947][8798] wives[0802] for your sons[01121], and give[05414][8798] your daughters[01323] to husbands[0582], that they may bear[03205][8799] sons[01121] and daughters[01121]; that ye may be increased[07235][8798] there, and not diminished[04591][8799].
30:24 And seek[01875][8798] the peace[07965] of the city[05892] whither I have caused you to be carried away captives[01540][8689], and pray[06419][8690] unto the LORD[03068] for it: for in the peace[07965] thereof shall ye have peace[07965].
31:1 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Let not your prophets[05030] and your diviners[07080][8802], that be in the midst[07130] of you, deceive[05377][8686] you, neither hearken[08085][8799] to your dreams[02472] which ye cause to be dreamed[02492][8688].
31:2 For they prophesy[05012][8737] falsely[08267] unto you in my name[08034]: I have not sent[07971][8804] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. falsely: Heb. in a lie
31:3 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], That after[06310] seventy[07657] years[08141] be accomplished[04390][8800] at Babylon[0894] I will visit[06485][8799] you, and perform[06965][8689] my good[02896] word[01697] toward you, in causing you to return[07725][8687] to this place[04725].
31:4 For I know[03045][8804] the thoughts[04284] that I think[02803][8802] toward you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], thoughts[04284] of peace[07965], and not of evil[07451], to give[05414][8800] you an expected[08615] end[0319]. expected...: Heb. end and expectation
31:5 Then shall ye call[07121][8804] upon me, and ye shall go[01980][8804] and pray[06419][8694] unto me, and I will hearken[08085][8804] unto you.
31:6 And ye shall seek[01245][8765] me, and find[04672][8804] me , when ye shall search[01875][8799] for me with all your heart[03824].
31:7 And I will be found[04672][8738] of you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: and I will turn away[07725][8804] your captivity[07622][8675][07622], and I will gather[06908][8765] you from all the nations[01471], and from all the places[04725] whither I have driven[05080][8689] you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and I will bring you again[07725][8689] into the place[04725] whence I caused you to be carried away captive[01540][8689].
31:8 Because ye have said[0559][8804], The LORD[03068] hath raised us up[06965][8689] prophets[05030] in Babylon[0894];
31:9 Know that thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of the king[04428] that sitteth[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732], and of all the people[05971] that dwelleth[03427][8802] in this city[05892],  and of your brethren[0251] that are not gone forth[03318][8804] with you into captivity[01473];
31:10 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Behold, I will send[07971][8764] upon them the sword[02719], the famine[07458], and the pestilence[01698], and will make[05414][8804] them like vile[08182] figs[08384], that cannot be eaten[0398][8735], they are so evil[07455].
31:11 And I will persecute[07291][8804] them[0310] with the sword[02719], with the famine[07458], and with the pestilence[01698], and will deliver[05414][8804] them to be removed[02189][8675][02113] to all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776], to be a curse[0423], and an astonishment[08047], and an hissing[08322], and a reproach[02781], among all the nations[01471] whither I have driven[05080][8689] them: to be a curse: Heb. for a curse
31:12 Because they have not hearkened[08085][8804] to my words[01697], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], which I sent[07971][8804] unto them by my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], rising up early[07925][8687] and sending[07971][8800] them ; but ye would not hear[08085][8804], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
31:13 Hear[08085][8798] ye therefore the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], all ye of the captivity[01473], whom I have sent[07971][8765] from Jerusalem[03389] to Babylon[0894]:
31:14 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], of Ahab[0256] the son[01121] of Kolaiah[06964], and of Zedekiah[06667] the son[01121] of Maaseiah[04641], which prophesy[05012][8737] a lie[08267] unto you in my name[08034]; Behold, I will deliver[05414][8802] them into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894]; and he shall slay[05221][8689] them before your eyes[05869];
31:15 And of them shall be taken up[03947][8795] a curse[07045] by all the captivity[01546] of Judah[03063] which are in Babylon[0894], saying[0559][8800], The LORD[03068] make[07760][8799] thee like Zedekiah[06667] and like Ahab[0256], whom the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] roasted[07033][8804] in the fire[0784];
31:16 Because they have committed[06213][8804] villany[05039] in Israel[03478], and have committed[06213][8804] adultery[05003][8762] with their neighbours[07453]' wives[0802], and have spoken[01696][8762] lying[08267] words[01697] in my name[08034], which I have not commanded[06680][8765] them; even I know[03045][8802], and am a witness[05707], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
31:17 Thus shalt thou also speak[0559][8799] to Shemaiah[08098] the Nehelamite[05161], saying[0559][8800], Nehelamite: or, dreamer
31:18 Thus speaketh[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], Because thou hast sent[07971][8804] letters[05612] in thy name[08034] unto all the people[05971] that are  at Jerusalem[03389], and to Zephaniah[06846] the son[01121] of Maaseiah[04641] the priest[03548], and to all the priests[03548], saying[0559][8800],
31:19 The LORD[03068] hath made[05414][8804] thee priest[03548] in the stead of Jehoiada[03077] the priest[03548], that ye should be officers[06496] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], for every man[0376] that is mad[07696][8794], and maketh himself a prophet[05012][8693], that thou shouldest put[05414][8804] him in prison[04115], and in the stocks[06729].
31:20 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved[01605][8804] Jeremiah[03414] of Anathoth[06069], which maketh himself a prophet[05012][8693] to you?
31:21 For therefore he sent[07971][8804] unto us in Babylon[0894], saying[0559][8800], This[01931] captivity is long[0752]: build[01129][8798] ye houses[01004], and dwell[03427][8798] in them ; and plant[05193][8798] gardens[01593], and eat[0398][8798] the fruit[06529] of them.
31:22 And Zephaniah[06846] the priest[03548] read[07121][8799] this letter[05612] in the ears[0241] of Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030].
31:23 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
31:24 Send[07971][8798] to all them of the captivity[01473], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] concerning Shemaiah[08098] the Nehelamite[05161]; Because that Shemaiah[08098] hath prophesied[05012][8738] unto you, and I sent[07971][8804] him not, and he caused you to trust[0982][8686] in a lie[08267]:
31:25 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will punish[06485][8802] Shemaiah[08098] the Nehelamite[05161], and his seed[02233]: he shall not have a man[0376] to dwell[03427][8802] among[08432] this people[05971]; neither shall he behold[07200][8799] the good[02896] that I will do[06213][8802] for my people[05971], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; because he hath taught[01696][8765] rebellion[05627] against the LORD[03068]. rebellion: Heb. revolt
31:26 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
31:27 Thus speaketh[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800], Write[03789][8798] thee all the words[01697] that I have spoken[01696][8765] unto thee in a book[05612].
31:28 For, lo, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will bring again[07725][8804] the captivity[07622] of my people[05971] Israel[03478] and Judah[03063], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]: and I will cause them to return[07725][8689] to the land[0776] that I gave[05414][8804] to their fathers[01], and they shall possess[03423][8804] it.
31:29 And these are the words[01697] that the LORD[03068] spake[01696][8765] concerning Israel[03478] and concerning Judah[03063].
31:30 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; We have heard[08085][8804] a voice[06963] of trembling[02731], of fear[06343], and not of peace[07965]. of fear...: or, there is fear, and not peace
31:31 Ask[07592][8798] ye now, and see[07200][8798] whether a man[02145] doth travail with child[03205][8802]? wherefore do I see[07200][8804] every man[01397] with his hands[03027] on his loins[02504], as a woman in travail[03205][8802], and all faces[06440] are turned[02015][8738] into paleness[03420]? a man: Heb. a male
31:32 Alas[01945]! for that day[03117] is great[01419], so that[0369] none is like it: it is even the time[06256] of Jacob's[03290] trouble[06869]; but he shall be saved[03467][8735] out of it.
31:33 For it shall come to pass in that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], that I will break[07665][8799] his yoke[05923] from off thy neck[06677], and will burst[05423][8762] thy bonds[04147], and strangers[02114][8801] shall no more serve[05647][8799] themselves of him:
31:34 But they shall serve[05647][8804] the LORD[03068] their God[0430], and David[01732] their king[04428], whom I will raise up[06965][8686] unto them.
31:35 Therefore fear[03372][8799] thou not, O my servant[05650] Jacob[03290], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; neither be dismayed[02865][8735], O Israel[03478]: for, lo, I will save[03467][8688] thee from afar[07350], and thy seed[02233] from the land[0776] of their captivity[07628]; and Jacob[03290] shall return[07725][8804], and shall be in rest[08252][8804], and be quiet[07599][8768], and none shall make him afraid[02729][8688].
31:36 For I am with thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], to save[03467][8687] thee: though I make[06213][8799] a full end[03617] of all nations[01471] whither I have scattered[06327][8689] thee, yet will I not make[06213][8799] a full end[03617] of thee: but I will correct[03256][8765] thee in measure[04941], and will not leave thee altogether[05352][8763] unpunished[05352][8762].
31:37 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Thy bruise[07667] is incurable[0605][8803], and thy wound[04347] is grievous[02470][8737].
31:38 There is none to plead[01777][8802] thy cause[01779], that thou mayest be bound up[04205]: thou hast no healing[08585] medicines[07499]. that...: Heb. for binding up, or, pressing
31:39 All thy lovers[0157][8764] have forgotten[07911][8804] thee; they seek[01875][8799] thee not; for I have wounded[05221][8689] thee with the wound[04347] of an enemy[0341][8802], with the chastisement[04148] of a cruel one[0394], for the multitude[07230] of thine iniquity[05771]; because thy sins[02403] were increased[06105][8804].
31:40 Why criest[02199][8799] thou for thine affliction[07667]? thy sorrow[04341] is incurable[0605][8803] for the multitude[07230] of thine iniquity[05771]: because thy sins[02403] were increased[06105][8804], I have done[06213][8804] these things unto thee.
32:1 Therefore all they that devour[0398][8802] thee shall be devoured[0398][8735]; and all thine adversaries[06862], every one of them, shall go[03212][8799] into captivity[07628]; and they that spoil[07601][8802][8675][08154][8802] thee shall be a spoil[04933], and all that prey[0962][8802] upon thee will I give[05414][8799] for a prey[0957].
32:2 For I will restore[05927][8686] health[0724] unto thee, and I will heal[07495][8799] thee of thy wounds[04347], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; because they called[07121][8804] thee an Outcast[05080][8737], saying , This is Zion[06726], whom no man seeketh after[01875][8802].
32:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will bring again[07725][8802] the captivity[07622] of Jacob's[03290] tents[0168], and have mercy[07355][8762] on his dwellingplaces[04908]; and the city[05892] shall be builded[01129][8738] upon her own heap[08510], and the palace[0759] shall remain[03427][8799] after the manner[04941] thereof. heap: or, little hill
32:4 And out of them shall proceed[03318][8804] thanksgiving[08426] and the voice[06963] of them that make merry[07832][8764]: and I will multiply[07235][8689] them, and they shall not be few[04591][8799]; I will also glorify[03513][8689] them, and they shall not be small[06819][8799].
32:5 Their children[01121] also shall be as aforetime[06924], and their congregation[05712] shall be established[03559][8735] before[06440] me, and I will punish[06485][8804] all that oppress[03905][8801] them.
32:6 And their nobles[0117] shall be of themselves, and their governor[04910][8802] shall proceed[03318][8799] from the midst[07130] of them; and I will cause him to draw near[07126][8689], and he shall approach[05066][8738] unto me: for who is this that engaged[06148][8804] his heart[03820] to approach[05066][8800] unto me? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
32:7 And ye shall be my people[05971], and I will be your God[0430].
32:8 Behold, the whirlwind[05591] of the LORD[03068] goeth forth[03318][8804] with fury[02534], a continuing[01641][8706] whirlwind[05591]: it shall fall with pain[02342][8799] upon the head[07218] of the wicked[07563]. continuing: Heb. cutting fall...: or, remain
32:9 The fierce[02740] anger[0639] of the LORD[03068] shall not return[07725][8799], until he have done[06213][8800] it , and until he have performed[06965][8687] the intents[04209] of his heart[03820]: in the latter[0319] days[03117] ye shall consider[0995][8709] it.
32:10 At the same time[06256], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], will I be the God[0430] of all the families[04940] of Israel[03478], and they shall be my people[05971].
32:11 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], The people[05971] which were left[08300] of the sword[02719] found[04672][8804] grace[02580] in the wilderness[04057]; even Israel[03478], when I went[01980][8800] to cause him to rest[07280][8687].
32:12 The LORD[03068] hath appeared[07200][8738] of old[07350] unto me, saying , Yea, I have loved[0157][8804] thee with an everlasting[05769] love[0160]: therefore with lovingkindness[02617] have I drawn[04900][8804] thee. of...: Heb. from afar with lovingkindness...: have I extended lovingkindness unto thee
32:13 Again I will build[01129][8799] thee, and thou shalt be built[01129][8738], O virgin[01330] of Israel[03478]: thou shalt again be adorned[05710][8799] with thy tabrets[08596], and shalt go forth[03318][8804] in the dances[04234] of them that make merry[07832][8764]. tabrets: or, timbrels
32:14 Thou shalt yet plant[05193][8799] vines[03754] upon the mountains[02022] of Samaria[08111]: the planters[05193][8802] shall plant[05193][8804], and shall eat them as common things[02490][8765]. eat...: Heb. profane them
32:15 For there shall be[03426] a day[03117], that the watchmen[05341][8802] upon the mount[02022] Ephraim[0669] shall cry[07121][8804], Arise[06965][8798] ye, and let us go up[05927][8799] to Zion[06726] unto the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
32:16 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Sing[07442][8798] with gladness[08057] for Jacob[03290], and shout[06670][8761] among the chief[07218] of the nations[01471]: publish[08085][8685] ye, praise[01984][8761] ye, and say[0559][8798], O LORD[03068], save[03467][8685] thy people[05971], the remnant[07611] of Israel[03478].
32:17 Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] them from the north[06828] country[0776], and gather[06908][8765] them from the coasts[03411] of the earth[0776], and with them the blind[05787] and the lame[06455], the woman with child[02030] and her that travaileth with child[03205][8802] together[03162]: a great[01419] company[06951] shall return[07725][8799] thither.
32:18 They shall come[0935][8799] with weeping[01065], and with supplications[08469] will I lead[02986][8686] them: I will cause them to walk[03212][8686] by the rivers[05158] of waters[04325] in a straight[03477] way[01870], wherein they shall not stumble[03782][8735]: for I am a father[01] to Israel[03478], and Ephraim[0669] is my firstborn[01060]. supplications: or, favours
32:19 Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], O ye nations[01471], and declare[05046][8685] it in the isles[0339] afar off[04801], and say[0559][8798], He that scattered[02219][8764] Israel[03478] will gather[06908][8762] him, and keep[08104][8804] him, as a shepherd[07462][8802] doth his flock[05739].
32:20 For the LORD[03068] hath redeemed[06299][8804] Jacob[03290], and ransomed[01350][8804] him from the hand[03027] of him that was stronger[02389] than he.
32:21 Therefore they shall come[0935][8804] and sing[07442][8765] in the height[04791] of Zion[06726], and shall flow together[05102][8804] to the goodness[02898] of the LORD[03068], for wheat[01715], and for wine[08492], and for oil[03323], and for the young[01121] of the flock[06629] and of the herd[01241]: and their soul[05315] shall be as a watered[07302] garden[01588]; and they shall not sorrow[01669][8800] any more[03254][8686] at all.
32:22 Then shall the virgin[01330] rejoice[08055][8799] in the dance[04234], both young men[0970] and old[02205] together[03162]: for I will turn[02015][8804] their mourning[060] into joy[08342], and will comfort[05162][8765] them, and make them rejoice[08055][8765] from their sorrow[03015].
32:23 And I will satiate[07301][8765] the soul[05315] of the priests[03548] with fatness[01880], and my people[05971] shall be satisfied[07646][8799] with my goodness[02898], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
32:24 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; A voice[06963] was heard[08085][8738] in Ramah[07414], lamentation[05092], and bitter[08563] weeping[01065]; Rahel[07354] weeping[01058][8764] for her children[01121] refused[03985][8765] to be comforted[05162][8736] for her children[01121], because they were not.
32:25 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Refrain[04513][8798] thy voice[06963] from weeping[01065], and thine eyes[05869] from tears[01832]: for thy work[06468] shall be[03426] rewarded[07939], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and they shall come again[07725][8804] from the land[0776] of the enemy[0341][8802].
32:26 And there is[03426] hope[08615] in thine end[0319], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that thy children[01121] shall come again[07725][8804] to their own border[01366].
32:27 I have surely[08085][8800] heard[08085][8804] Ephraim[0669] bemoaning[05110][8711] himself thus ; Thou hast chastised[03256][8765] me, and I was chastised[03256][8735], as a bullock[05695] unaccustomed[03808][03925][8795] to the yoke : turn[07725][8685] thou me, and I shall be turned[07725][8799]; for thou art the LORD[03068] my God[0430].
32:28 Surely after[0310] that I was turned[07725][8800], I repented[05162][8738]; and after[0310] that I was instructed[03045][8736], I smote[05606][8804] upon my thigh[03409]: I was ashamed[0954][8804], yea, even confounded[03637][8738], because I did bear[05375][8804] the reproach[02781] of my youth[05271].
32:29 Is Ephraim[0669] my dear[03357] son[01121]? is he a pleasant[08191] child[03206]? for since[01767] I spake[01696][8763] against him, I do earnestly[02142][8800] remember[02142][8799] him still: therefore my bowels[04578] are troubled[01993][8804] for him; I will surely[07355][8763] have mercy[07355][8762] upon him, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. are...: Heb. sound
32:30 Set thee up[05324][8685] waymarks[06725], make[07760][8798] thee high heaps[08564]: set[07896][8798] thine heart[03820] toward the highway[04546], even the way[01870] which thou wentest[01980][8804]: turn again[07725][8798], O virgin[01330] of Israel[03478], turn again[07725][8798] to these thy cities[05892].
32:31 How long wilt thou go about[02559][8691], O thou backsliding[07728] daughter[01323]? for the LORD[03068] hath created[01254][8804] a new thing[02319] in the earth[0776], A woman[05347] shall compass[05437][8779] a man[01397].
32:32 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; As yet they shall use[0559][8799] this speech[01697] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063] and in the cities[05892] thereof, when I shall bring again[07725][8800] their captivity[07622]; The LORD[03068] bless[01288][8762] thee, O habitation[05116] of justice[06664], and mountain[02022] of holiness[06944].
32:33 And there shall dwell[03427][8804] in Judah[03063] itself, and in all the cities[05892] thereof together[03162], husbandmen[0406], and they that go forth[05265][8804] with flocks[05739].
32:34 For I have satiated[07301][8689] the weary[05889] soul[05315], and I have replenished[04390][8765] every sorrowful[01669][8804] soul[05315].
32:35 Upon this I awaked[06974][8689], and beheld[07200][8799]; and my sleep[08142] was sweet[06149][8804] unto me.
32:36 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will sow[02232][8804] the house[01004] of Israel[03478] and the house[01004] of Judah[03063] with the seed[02233] of man[0120], and with the seed[02233] of beast[0929].
32:37 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over[08245][8804] them, to pluck up[05428][8800], and to break down[05422][8800], and to throw down[02040][8800], and to destroy[06][8687], and to afflict[07489][8687]; so will I watch over[08245][8799] them, to build[01129][8800], and to plant[05193][8800], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
32:38 In those days[03117] they shall say[0559][8799] no more, The fathers[01] have eaten[0398][8804] a sour grape[01155], and the children's[01121] teeth[08127] are set on edge[06949][8799].
32:39 But every one[0376] shall die[04191][8799] for his own iniquity[05771]: every man[0120] that eateth[0398][8802] the sour grape[01155], his teeth[08127] shall be set on edge[06949][8799].
32:40 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will make[03772][8804] a new[02319] covenant[01285] with the house[01004] of Israel[03478], and with the house[01004] of Judah[03063]:
32:41 Not according to the covenant[01285] that I made[03772][8804] with their fathers[01] in the day[03117] that I took[02388][8687] them by the hand[03027] to bring them out[03318][8687] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]; which my covenant[01285] they brake[06565][8689], although I was an husband[01166][8804] unto them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: although...: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?
32:42 But this shall be the covenant[01285] that I will make[03772][8799] with the house[01004] of Israel[03478]; After[0310] those days[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], I will put[05414][8804] my law[08451] in their inward parts[07130], and write[03789][8799] it in their hearts[03820]; and will be their God[0430], and they shall be my people[05971].
32:43 And they shall teach[03925][8762] no more every man[0376] his neighbour[07453], and every man[0376] his brother[0251], saying[0559][8800], Know[03045][8798] the LORD[03068]: for they shall all know[03045][8799] me, from the least[06996] of them unto the greatest[01419] of them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: for I will forgive[05545][8799] their iniquity[05771], and I will remember[02142][8799] their sin[02403] no more.
32:44 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], which giveth[05414][8802] the sun[08121] for a light[0216] by day[03119], and the ordinances[02708] of the moon[03394] and of the stars[03556] for a light[0216] by night[03915], which divideth[07280][8802] the sea[03220] when the waves[01530] thereof roar[01993][8799]; The LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034]:
33:1 If those ordinances[02706] depart[04185][8799] from before[06440] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], then the seed[02233] of Israel[03478] also shall cease[07673][8799] from being a nation[01471] before[06440] me for ever[03117].
33:2 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; If heaven[08064] above[04605] can be measured[04058][8735], and the foundations[04146] of the earth[0776] searched out[02713][8735] beneath[04295], I will also cast off[03988][8799] all the seed[02233] of Israel[03478] for all that they have done[06213][8804], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
33:3 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that the city[05892] shall be built[01129][8738] to the LORD[03068] from the tower[04026] of Hananeel[02606] unto the gate[08179] of the corner[06438].
33:4 And the measuring[04060] line[06957][8675][06961] shall yet go forth[03318][8804] over against it upon the hill[01389] Gareb[01619], and shall compass about[05437][8738] to Goath[01601].
33:5 And the whole valley[06010] of the dead bodies[06297], and of the ashes[01880], and all the fields[07709][8675][08309] unto the brook[05158] of Kidron[06939], unto the corner[06438] of the horse[05483] gate[08179] toward the east[04217], shall be holy[06944] unto the LORD[03068]; it shall not be plucked up[05428][8735], nor thrown down[02040][8735] any more for ever[05769].
33:6 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068] in the tenth[06224] year[08141] of Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063], which was the eighteenth[08083][06240][08141] year[08141] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019].
33:7 For then the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] army[02428] besieged[06696][8802] Jerusalem[03389]: and Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] was shut up[03607][8803] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307], which was in the king[04428] of Judah's[03063] house[01004].
33:8 For Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] had shut him up[03607][8804], saying[0559][8800], Wherefore dost thou prophesy[05012][8737], and say[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], Behold, I will give[05414][8802] this city[05892] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall take[03920][8804] it;
33:9 And Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] shall not escape[04422][8735] out of the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778], but shall surely[05414][8736] be delivered[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and shall speak[01696][8765] with him mouth[06310] to mouth[06310], and his eyes[05869] shall behold[07200][8799] his eyes[05869];
33:10 And he shall lead[03212][8686] Zedekiah[06667] to Babylon[0894], and there shall he be until I visit[06485][8800] him, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: though ye fight[03898][8735] with the Chaldeans[03778], ye shall not prosper[06743][8686].
33:11 And Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799], The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
33:12 Behold, Hanameel[02601] the son[01121] of Shallum[07967] thine uncle[01730] shall come[0935][8802] unto thee, saying[0559][8800], Buy[07069][8798] thee my field[07704] that is  in Anathoth[06068]: for the right[04941] of redemption[01353] is thine to buy[07069][8800] it .
33:13 So Hanameel[02601] mine uncle's[01730] son[01121] came[0935][8799] to me in the court[02691] of the prison[04307] according to the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], and said[0559][8799] unto me, Buy[07069][8798] my field[07704], I pray thee, that is in Anathoth[06068], which is in the country[0776] of Benjamin[01144]: for the right[04941] of inheritance[03425] is thine, and the redemption[01353] is thine; buy[07069][8798] it for thyself. Then I knew[03045][8799] that this was the word[01697] of the LORD[03068].
33:14 And I bought[07069][8799] the field[07704] of Hanameel[02601] my uncle's[01730] son[01121], that was in Anathoth[06068], and weighed[08254][8799] him the money[03701], even seventeen[07651][06235] shekels[08255] of silver[03701]. seventeen...: or, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver
33:15 And I subscribed[03789][8799] the evidence[05612], and sealed[02856][8799] it , and took[05749][8686] witnesses[05707], and weighed[08254][8799] him the money[03701] in the balances[03976]. subscribed...: Heb. wrote in the book
33:16 So I took[03947][8799] the evidence[05612] of the purchase[04736], both that which was sealed[02856][8803] according to the law[04687] and custom[02706], and that which was open[01540][8803]:
33:17 And I gave[05414][8799] the evidence[05612] of the purchase[04736] unto Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374], the son[01121] of Maaseiah[04271], in the sight[05869] of Hanameel[02601] mine uncle's[01730] son , and in the presence[05869] of the witnesses[05707] that subscribed[03789][8802] the book[05612] of the purchase[04736], before[05869] all the Jews[03064] that sat[03427][8802] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307].
33:18 And I charged[06680][8762] Baruch[01263] before[05869] them, saying[0559][8800],
33:19 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Take[03947][8800] these evidences[05612], this evidence[05612] of the purchase[04736], both which is sealed[02856][8803], and this evidence[05612] which is open[01540][8803]; and put[05414][8804] them in an earthen[02789] vessel[03627], that they may continue[05975][8799] many[07227] days[03117].
33:20 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Houses[01004] and fields[07704] and vineyards[03754] shall be possessed again[07069][8735] in this land[0776].
33:21 Now when[0310] I had delivered[05414][8800] the evidence[05612] of the purchase[04736] unto Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374], I prayed[06419][8691] unto the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
33:22 Ah[0162] Lord[0136] GOD[03069]! behold, thou hast made[06213][8804] the heaven[08064] and the earth[0776] by thy great[01419] power[03581] and stretched out[05186][8803] arm[02220], and there is nothing[01697] too hard[06381][8735] for thee: too...: or, hid from thee
33:23 Thou shewest[06213][8802] lovingkindness[02617] unto thousands[0505], and recompensest[07999][8764] the iniquity[05771] of the fathers[01] into the bosom[02436] of their children[01121] after[0310] them: the Great[01419], the Mighty[01368] God[0410], the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], is his name[08034],
33:24 Great[01419] in counsel[06098], and mighty[07227] in work[05950]: for thine eyes[05869] are open[06491][8803] upon all the ways[01870] of the sons[01121] of men[0120]: to give[05414][8800] every one[0376] according to his ways[01870], and according to the fruit[06529] of his doings[04611]: work: Heb. doing
33:25 Which hast set[07760][8804] signs[0226] and wonders[04159] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], even unto this day[03117], and in Israel[03478], and among other men[0120]; and hast made[06213][8799] thee a name[08034], as at this day[03117];
33:26 And hast brought forth[03318][8686] thy people[05971] Israel[03478] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] with signs[0226], and with wonders[04159], and with a strong[02389] hand[03027], and with a stretched out[05186][8803] arm[0248], and with great[01419] terror[04172];
34:1 And hast given[05414][8799] them this land[0776], which thou didst swear[07650][8738] to their fathers[01] to give[05414][8800] them, a land[0776] flowing[02100][8802] with milk[02461] and honey[01706];
34:2 And they came in[0935][8799], and possessed[03423][8799] it; but they obeyed[08085][8804] not thy voice[06963], neither walked[01980][8804] in thy law[08451]; they have done[06213][8804] nothing of all that thou commandedst[06680][8765] them to do[06213][8800]: therefore thou hast caused all this evil[07451] to come[07122][8686] upon them:
34:3 Behold the mounts[05550], they are come[0935][8804] unto the city[05892] to take[03920][8800] it; and the city[05892] is given[05414][8738] into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778], that fight[03898][8737] against it, because[06440] of the sword[02719], and of the famine[07458], and of the pestilence[01698]: and what thou hast spoken[01696][8765] is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest[07200][8802] it . mounts: or, engines of shot
34:4 And thou hast said[0559][8804] unto me, O Lord[0136] GOD[03069], Buy[07069][8798] thee the field[07704] for money[03701], and take[05749][8685] witnesses[05707]; for the city[05892] is given[05414][8738] into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778]. for the: or, though the
34:5 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
34:6 Behold, I am the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of all flesh[01320]: is there any thing[01697] too hard[06381][8735] for me?
34:7 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will give[05414][8802] this city[05892] into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778], and into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall take[03920][8804] it:
34:8 And the Chaldeans[03778], that fight[03898][8737] against this city[05892], shall come[0935][8804] and set[03341][8689] fire[0784] on this city[05892], and burn[08313][8804] it with the houses[01004], upon whose roofs[01406] they have offered incense[06999][8765] unto Baal[01168], and poured out[05258][8689] drink offerings[05262] unto other[0312] gods[0430], to provoke me to anger[03707][8687].
34:9 For the children[01121] of Israel[03478] and the children[01121] of Judah[03063] have only done[06213][8802] evil[07451] before[05869] me from their youth[05271]: for the children[01121] of Israel[03478] have only provoked me to anger[03707][8688] with the work[04639] of their hands[03027], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
34:10 For this city[05892] hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger[0639] and of my fury[02534] from the day[03117] that they built[01129][8804] it even unto this day[03117]; that I should remove[05493][8687] it from before my face[06440], a provocation...: Heb. for my anger
34:11 Because of all the evil[07451] of the children[01121] of Israel[03478] and of the children[01121] of Judah[03063], which they have done[06213][8804] to provoke me to anger[03707][8687], they, their kings[04428], their princes[08269], their priests[03548], and their prophets[05030], and the men[0376] of Judah[03063], and the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389].
34:12 And they have turned[06437][8799] unto me the back[06203], and not the face[06440]: though I taught[03925][8763] them, rising up early[07925][8687] and teaching[03925][8763] them , yet they have not hearkened[08085][8802] to receive[03947][8800] instruction[04148]. back: Heb. neck
34:13 But they set[07760][8799] their abominations[08251] in the house[01004], which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034], to defile[02930][8763] it.
34:14 And they built[01129][8799] the high places[01116] of Baal[01168], which are in the valley[01516] of the son[01121] of Hinnom[02011], to cause their sons[01121] and their daughters[01323] to pass[05674][8687] through the fire unto Molech[04432]; which I commanded[06680][8765] them not, neither came[05927][8804] it into my mind[03820], that they should do[06213][8800] this abomination[08441], to cause Judah[03063] to sin[02398][8687].
34:15 And now therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], concerning this city[05892], whereof ye say[0559][8802], It shall be delivered[05414][8738] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] by the sword[02719], and by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698];
34:16 Behold, I will gather them out[06908][8764] of all countries[0776], whither I have driven[05080][8689] them in mine anger[0639], and in my fury[02534], and in great[01419] wrath[07110]; and I will bring them again[07725][8689] unto this place[04725], and I will cause them to dwell[03427][8689] safely[0983]:
34:17 And they shall be my people[05971], and I will be their God[0430]:
34:18 And I will give[05414][8804] them one[0259] heart[03820], and one[0259] way[01870], that they may fear[03372][8800] me for ever[03117], for the good[02896] of them, and of their children[01121] after[0310] them: for ever: Heb. all days
34:19 And I will make[03772][8804] an everlasting[05769] covenant[01285] with them, that I will not turn away[07725][8799] from them[0310], to do them good[03190][8687]; but I will put[05414][8799] my fear[03374] in their hearts[03824], that they shall not depart[05493][8800] from me. from them: Heb. from after them
34:20 Yea, I will rejoice[07797][8804] over them to do them good[02895][8687], and I will plant[05193][8804] them in this land[0776] assuredly[0571] with my whole heart[03820] and with my whole soul[05315]. assuredly: Heb. in truth, or, stability
34:21 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Like as I have brought[0935][8689] all this great[01419] evil[07451] upon this people[05971], so will I bring[0935][8688] upon them all the good[02896] that I have promised[01696][8802] them.
34:22 And fields[07704] shall be bought[07069][8738] in this land[0776], whereof ye say[0559][8802], It is desolate[08077] without man[0120] or beast[0929]; it is given[05414][8738] into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778].
35:1 Men shall buy[07069][8799] fields[07704] for money[03701], and subscribe[03789][8800] evidences[05612], and seal[02856][8800] them , and take[05749][8687] witnesses[05707] in the land[0776] of Benjamin[01144], and in the places about[05439] Jerusalem[03389], and in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and in the cities[05892] of the mountains[02022], and in the cities[05892] of the valley[08219], and in the cities[05892] of the south[05045]: for I will cause their captivity[07622] to return[07725][8686], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
35:2 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jeremiah[03414] the second[08145] time, while he was yet shut up[06113][8803] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307], saying[0559][8800],
35:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] the maker[06213][8802] thereof, the LORD[03068] that formed[03335][8802] it, to establish[03559][8687] it; the LORD[03068] is his name[08034]; the LORD is: or, JEHOVAH, etc
35:4 Call[07121][8798] unto me, and I will answer[06030][8799] thee, and shew[05046][8686] thee great[01419] and mighty things[01219][8803], which thou knowest[03045][8804] not. mighty: or, hidden
35:5 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], concerning the houses[01004] of this city[05892], and concerning the houses[01004] of the kings[04428] of Judah[03063], which are thrown down[05422][8803] by the mounts[05550], and by the sword[02719];
35:6 They come[0935][8802] to fight[03898][8736] with the Chaldeans[03778], but it is to fill[04390][8763] them with the dead bodies[06297] of men[0120], whom I have slain[05221][8689] in mine anger[0639] and in my fury[02534], and for all whose wickedness[07451] I have hid[05641][8689] my face[06440] from this city[05892].
35:7 Behold, I will bring[05927][8688] it health[0724] and cure[04832], and I will cure[07495][8804] them, and will reveal[01540][8765] unto them the abundance[06283] of peace[07965] and truth[0571].
35:8 And I will cause the captivity[07622] of Judah[03063] and the captivity[07622] of Israel[03478] to return[07725][8689], and will build[01129][8804] them, as at the first[07223].
35:9 And I will cleanse[02891][8765] them from all their iniquity[05771], whereby they have sinned[02398][8804] against me; and I will pardon[05545][8804] all their iniquities[05771], whereby they have sinned[02398][8804], and whereby they have transgressed[06586][8804] against me.
35:10 And it shall be to me a name[08034] of joy[08342], a praise[08416] and an honour[08597] before all the nations[01471] of the earth[0776], which shall hear[08085][8799] all the good[02896] that I do[06213][8802] unto them: and they shall fear[06342][8804] and tremble[07264][8804] for all the goodness[02896] and for all the prosperity[07965] that I procure[06213][8802] unto it.
35:11 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Again there shall be heard[08085][8735] in this place[04725], which ye say[0559][8802] shall be desolate[02720] without man[0120] and without beast[0929], even in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389], that are desolate[08074][8737], without man[0120], and without inhabitant[03427][8802], and without beast[0929],
35:12 The voice[06963] of joy[08342], and the voice[06963] of gladness[08057], the voice[06963] of the bridegroom[02860], and the voice[06963] of the bride[03618], the voice[06963] of them that shall say[0559][8802], Praise[03034][8685] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]: for the LORD[03068] is good[02896]; for his mercy[02617] endureth for ever[05769]: and  of them that shall bring[0935][8688] the sacrifice of praise[08426] into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]. For I will cause to return[07725][8686] the captivity[07622] of the land[0776], as at the first[07223], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
35:13 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Again in this place[04725], which is desolate[02720] without man[0120] and without beast[0929], and in all the cities[05892] thereof, shall be an habitation[05116] of shepherds[07462][8802] causing their flocks[06629] to lie down[07257][8688].
35:14 In the cities[05892] of the mountains[02022], in the cities[05892] of the vale[08219], and in the cities[05892] of the south[05045], and in the land[0776] of Benjamin[01144], and in the places about[05439] Jerusalem[03389], and in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], shall the flocks[06629] pass again[05674][8799] under the hands[03027] of him that telleth[04487][8802] them , saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068].
35:15 Behold, the days[03117] come[0935][8802], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will perform[06965][8689] that good[02896] thing[01697] which I have promised[01696][8765] unto the house[01004] of Israel[03478] and to the house[01004] of Judah[03063].
35:16 In those days[03117], and at that time[06256], will I cause the Branch[06780] of righteousness[06666] to grow up[06779][8686] unto David[01732]; and he shall execute[06213][8804] judgment[04941] and righteousness[06666] in the land[0776].
35:17 In those days[03117] shall Judah[03063] be saved[03467][8735], and Jerusalem[03389] shall dwell[07931][8799] safely[0983]: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called[07121][8799], The LORD our righteousness[03072]. The LORD...: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu
35:18 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; David[01732] shall never[03808] want[03772][8735] a man[0376] to sit[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of the house[01004] of Israel[03478]; David...: Heb. There shall not be cut off from David
35:19 Neither shall the priests[03548] the Levites[03881] want[03772][8735] a man[0376] before[06440] me to offer[05927][8688] burnt offerings[05930], and to kindle[06999][8688] meat offerings[04503], and to do[06213][8802] sacrifice[02077] continually[03117].
36:1 And the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
36:2 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; If ye can break[06565][8686] my covenant[01285] of the day[03117], and my covenant[01285] of the night[03915], and that there should not be day[03119] and night[03915] in their season[06256];
36:3 Then may also my covenant[01285] be broken[06565][8714] with David[01732] my servant[05650], that he should not have a son[01121] to reign[04427][8802] upon his throne[03678]; and with the Levites[03881] the priests[03548], my ministers[08334][8764].
36:4 As the host[06635] of heaven[08064] cannot be numbered[05608][8735], neither the sand[02344] of the sea[03220] measured[04058][8735]: so will I multiply[07235][8686] the seed[02233] of David[01732] my servant[05650], and the Levites[03881] that minister[08334][8764] unto me.
36:5 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
36:6 Considerest[07200][8804] thou not what this people[05971] have spoken[01696][8765], saying[0559][8800], The two[08147] families[04940] which the LORD[03068] hath chosen[0977][8804], he hath even cast them off[03988][8799]? thus they have despised[05006][8799] my people[05971], that they should be no more a nation[01471] before[06440] them.
36:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; If my covenant[01285] be not with day[03119] and night[03915], and if I have not appointed[07760][8804] the ordinances[02708] of heaven[08064] and earth[0776];
36:8 Then[01571] will I cast away[03988][8799] the seed[02233] of Jacob[03290], and David[01732] my servant[05650], so that I will not take[03947][8800] any of his seed[02233] to be rulers[04910][8802] over the seed[02233] of Abraham[085], Isaac[03446], and Jacob[03290]: for I will cause their captivity[07622] to return[07725][8686][8675][07725][8799], and have mercy[07355][8765] on them.
36:9 The word[01697] which came unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], when Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and all his army[02428], and all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776] of his dominion[03027][04475], and all the people[05971], fought[03898][8737] against Jerusalem[03389], and against all the cities[05892] thereof, saying[0559][8800], of his...: Heb. the dominion of his hand
36:10 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Go[01980][8800] and speak[0559][8804] to Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063], and tell[0559][8804] him, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will give[05414][8802] this city[05892] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall burn[08313][8804] it with fire[0784]:
36:11 And thou shalt not escape out[04422][8735] of his hand[03027], but shalt surely[08610][8800] be taken[08610][8735], and delivered[05414][8735] into his hand[03027]; and thine eyes[05869] shall behold[07200][8799] the eyes[05869] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and he shall speak[01696][8762] with thee mouth[06310] to mouth[06310], and thou shalt go[0935][8799] to Babylon[0894]. he shall...: Heb. his mouth shall speak to thy mouth
36:12 Yet hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], O Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of thee, Thou shalt not die[04191][8799] by the sword[02719]:
36:13 But thou shalt die[04191][8799] in peace[07965]: and with the burnings[04955] of thy fathers[01], the former[07223] kings[04428] which were before[06440] thee, so shall they burn[08313][8799] odours for thee; and they will lament[05594][8799] thee, saying , Ah[01945] lord[0113]! for I have pronounced[01696][8765] the word[01697], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
36:14 Then Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] spake[01696][8762] all these words[01697] unto Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] in Jerusalem[03389],
36:15 When the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] army[02428] fought[03898][8737] against Jerusalem[03389], and against all the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] that were left[03498][8737], against Lachish[03923], and against Azekah[05825]: for these defenced[04013] cities[05892] remained[07604][8738] of the cities[05892] of Judah[03063].
36:16 This is the word[01697] that came unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], after[0310] that the king[04428] Zedekiah[06667] had made[03772][8800] a covenant[01285] with all the people[05971] which were at Jerusalem[03389], to proclaim[07121][8800] liberty[01865] unto them;
36:17 That every man[0376] should let his manservant[05650], and every man[0376] his maidservant[08198], being an Hebrew[05680] or an Hebrewess[05680], go[07971][8763] free[02670]; that none should serve[05647][8800] himself of them, to wit , of a Jew[03064] his brother[0251].
36:18 Now when all the princes[08269], and all the people[05971], which had entered[0935][8804] into the covenant[01285], heard[08085][8799] that every one[0376] should let his manservant[05650], and every one[0376] his maidservant[08198], go[07971][8763] free[02670], that none should serve[05647][8800] themselves of them any more, then they obeyed[08085][8799], and let them go[07971][8762].
36:19 But afterward[0310] they turned[07725][8799], and caused the servants[05650] and the handmaids[08198], whom they had let go[07971][8765] free[02670], to return[07725][8686], and brought them into subjection[03533][8799][8675][03533][8686] for servants[05650] and for handmaids[08198].
36:20 Therefore the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
36:21 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; I made[03772][8804] a covenant[01285] with your fathers[01] in the day[03117] that I brought them forth[03318][8687] out of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], out of the house[01004] of bondmen[05650], saying[0559][8800],
36:22 At the end[07093] of seven[07651] years[08141] let ye go[07971][8762] every man[0376] his brother[0251] an Hebrew[05680], which hath been sold[04376][8735] unto thee; and when he hath served[05647][8804] thee six[08337] years[08141], thou shalt let him go[07971][8765] free[02670] from thee: but your fathers[01] hearkened[08085][8804] not unto me, neither inclined[05186][8689] their ear[0241]. hath been...: or, hath sold himself
36:23 And ye were now[03117] turned[07725][8799], and had done[06213][8799] right[03477] in my sight[05869], in proclaiming[07121][8800] liberty[01865] every man[0376] to his neighbour[07453]; and ye had made[03772][8799] a covenant[01285] before[06440] me in the house[01004] which is called[07121][8738] by my name[08034]: now: Heb. to day which...: Heb. whereupon my name is called
36:24 But ye turned[07725][8799] and polluted[02490][8762] my name[08034], and caused every man[0376] his servant[05650], and every man[0376] his handmaid[08198], whom ye had set[07971][8765] at liberty[02670] at their pleasure[05315], to return[07725][8686], and brought them into subjection[03533][8799], to be unto you for servants[05650] and for handmaids[08198].
36:25 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Ye have not hearkened[08085][8804] unto me, in proclaiming[07121][8800] liberty[01865], every one[0376] to his brother[0251], and every man[0376] to his neighbour[07453]: behold, I proclaim[07121][8802] a liberty[01865] for you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], to the sword[02719], to the pestilence[01698], and to the famine[07458]; and I will make[05414][8804] you to be removed[02189][8675][02113] into all the kingdoms[04467] of the earth[0776]. to be...: Heb. for a removing
36:26 And I will give[05414][8804] the men[0582] that have transgressed[05674][8802] my covenant[01285], which have not performed[06965][8689] the words[01697] of the covenant[01285] which they had made[03772][8804] before[06440] me, when they cut[03772][8804] the calf[05695] in twain[08147], and passed[05674][8799] between the parts[01335] thereof,
36:27 The princes[08269] of Judah[03063], and the princes[08269] of Jerusalem[03389], the eunuchs[05631], and the priests[03548], and all the people[05971] of the land[0776], which passed[05674][8802] between the parts[01335] of the calf[05695];
36:28 I will even give[05414][8804] them into the hand[03027] of their enemies[0341][8802], and into the hand[03027] of them that seek[01245][8764] their life[05315]: and their dead bodies[05038] shall be for meat[03978] unto the fowls[05775] of the heaven[08064], and to the beasts[0929] of the earth[0776].
36:29 And Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] and his princes[08269] will I give[05414][8799] into the hand[03027] of their enemies[0341][8802], and into the hand[03027] of them that seek[01245][8764] their life[05315], and into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] army[02428], which are gone up[05927][8802] from you.
36:30 Behold, I will command[06680][8764], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and cause them to return[07725][8689] to this city[05892]; and they shall fight[03898][8738] against it, and take[03920][8804] it, and burn[08313][8804] it with fire[0784]: and I will make[05414][8799] the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] a desolation[08077] without an inhabitant[03427][8802].
36:31 The word[01697] which came unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068] in the days[03117] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800],
36:32 Go[01980][8800] unto the house[01004] of the Rechabites[07397], and speak[01696][8765] unto them, and bring[0935][8689] them into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], into one[0259] of the chambers[03957], and give them wine[03196] to drink[08248][8689].
37:1 Then I took[03947][8799] Jaazaniah[02970] the son[01121] of Jeremiah[03414], the son[01121] of Habaziniah[02262], and his brethren[0251], and all his sons[01121], and the whole house[01004] of the Rechabites[07397];
37:2 And I brought[0935][8686] them into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], into the chamber[03957] of the sons[01121] of Hanan[02605], the son[01121] of Igdaliah[03012], a man[0376] of God[0430], which was by[0681] the chamber[03957] of the princes[08269], which was above[04605] the chamber[03957] of Maaseiah[04641] the son[01121] of Shallum[07967], the keeper[08104][8802] of the door[05592]: door: Heb. threshold, or, vessel
37:3 And I set[05414][8799] before[06440] the sons[01121] of the house[01004] of the Rechabites[07397] pots[01375] full[04392] of wine[03196], and cups[03563], and I said[0559][8799] unto them, Drink[08354][8798] ye wine[03196].
37:4 But they said[0559][8799], We will drink[08354][8799] no wine[03196]: for Jonadab[03122] the son[01121] of Rechab[07394] our father[01] commanded[06680][8765] us, saying[0559][8800], Ye shall drink[08354][8799] no wine[03196], neither ye , nor your sons[01121] for[05704] ever[05769]:
37:5 Neither shall ye build[01129][8799] house[01004], nor sow[02232][8799] seed[02233], nor plant[05193][8799] vineyard[03754], nor have any : but all your days[03117] ye shall dwell[03427][8799] in tents[0168]; that ye may live[02421][8799] many[07227] days[03117] in[06440] the land[0127] where ye be strangers[01481][8802].
37:6 Thus have we obeyed[08085][8799] the voice[06963] of Jonadab[03082] the son[01121] of Rechab[07394] our father[01] in all that he hath charged[06680][8765] us, to drink[08354][8800] no wine[03196] all our days[03117], we, our wives[0802], our sons[01121], nor our daughters[01323];
37:7 Nor to build[01129][8800] houses[01004] for us to dwell in[03427][8800]: neither have we vineyard[03754], nor field[07704], nor seed[02233]:
37:8 But we have dwelt in[03427][8799] tents[0168], and have obeyed[08085][8799], and done[06213][8799] according to all that Jonadab[03122] our father[01] commanded[06680][8765] us.
37:9 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] came up[05927][8800] into the land[0776], that we said[0559][8799], Come[0935][8798], and let us go[0935][8799] to Jerusalem[03389] for fear[06440] of the army[02428] of the Chaldeans[03778], and for fear[06440] of the army[02428] of the Syrians[0758]: so we dwell[03427][8799] at Jerusalem[03389].
37:10 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
37:11 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Go[01980][8800] and tell[0559][8804] the men[0376] of Judah[03063] and the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], Will ye not receive[03947][8799] instruction[04148] to hearken[08085][8800] to my words[01697]? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
37:12 The words[01697] of Jonadab[03082] the son[01121] of Rechab[07394], that he commanded[06680][8765] his sons[01121] not to drink[08354][8800] wine[03196], are performed[06965][8717]; for unto this day[03117] they drink[08354][8804] none, but obey[08085][8804] their father's[01] commandment[04687]: notwithstanding I have spoken[01696][8765] unto you, rising early[07925][8687] and speaking[01696][8763]; but ye hearkened[08085][8804] not unto me.
37:13 I have sent[07971][8799] also unto you all my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], rising up early[07925][8687] and sending[07971][8800] them , saying[0559][8800], Return[07725][8798] ye now every man[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870], and amend[03190][8685] your doings[04611], and go[03212][8799] not after[0310] other[0312] gods[0430] to serve[05647][8800] them, and ye shall dwell in[03427][8798] the land[0127] which I have given[05414][8804] to you and to your fathers[01]: but ye have not inclined[05186][8689] your ear[0241], nor hearkened[08085][8804] unto me.
37:14 Because the sons[01121] of Jonadab[03082] the son[01121] of Rechab[07394] have performed[06965][8689] the commandment[04687] of their father[01], which he commanded[06680][8765] them; but this people[05971] hath not hearkened[08085][8804] unto me:
37:15 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] God[0430] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] upon Judah[03063] and upon all the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389] all the evil[07451] that I have pronounced[01696][8765] against them: because I have spoken[01696][8765] unto them, but they have not heard[08085][8804]; and I have called[07121][8799] unto them, but they have not answered[06030][8804].
37:16 And Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8804] unto the house[01004] of the Rechabites[07397], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Because ye have obeyed[08085][8804] the commandment[04687] of Jonadab[03082] your father[01], and kept[08104][8799] all his precepts[04687], and done[06213][8799] according unto all that he hath commanded[06680][8765] you:
37:17 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Jonadab[03122] the son[01121] of Rechab[07394] shall not want[03772][8735] a man[0376] to stand[05975][8802] before[06440] me for ever[03117]. Jonadab...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off from Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand, etc
37:18 And it came to pass in the fourth[07243] year[08141] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], that this word[01697] came unto Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], saying[0559][8800],
37:19 Take[03947][8798] thee a roll[04039] of a book[05612], and write[03789][8804] therein all the words[01697] that I have spoken[01696][8765] unto thee against Israel[03478], and against Judah[03063], and against all the nations[01471], from the day[03117] I spake[01696][8765] unto thee, from the days[03117] of Josiah[02977], even unto this day[03117].
37:20 It may be that the house[01004] of Judah[03063] will hear[08085][8799] all the evil[07451] which I purpose[02803][8802] to do[06213][8800] unto them; that they may return[07725][8799] every man[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870]; that I may forgive[05545][8804] their iniquity[05771] and their sin[02403].
37:21 Then Jeremiah[03414] called[07121][8799] Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374]: and Baruch[01263] wrote[03789][8799] from the mouth[06310] of Jeremiah[03414] all the words[01697] of the LORD[03068], which he had spoken[01696][8765] unto him, upon a roll[04039] of a book[05612].
38:1 And Jeremiah[03414] commanded[06680][8762] Baruch[01263], saying[0559][8800], I am shut up[06113][8803]; I cannot[03201][8799] go[0935][8800] into the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]:
38:2 Therefore go[0935][8804] thou, and read[07121][8804] in the roll[04039], which thou hast written[03789][8804] from my mouth[06310], the words[01697] of the LORD[03068] in the ears[0241] of the people[05971] in the LORD'S[03068] house[01004] upon the fasting[06685] day[03117]: and also thou shalt read[07121][8799] them in the ears[0241] of all Judah[03063] that come out[0935][8802] of their cities[05892].
38:3 It may be they will present[05307][8799] their supplication[08467] before[06440] the LORD[03068], and will return[07725][8799] every one[0376] from his evil[07451] way[01870]: for great[01419] is the anger[0639] and the fury[02534] that the LORD[03068] hath pronounced[01696][8765] against this people[05971]. they...: Heb. their supplication shall fail
38:4 And Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374] did[06213][8799] according to all that Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] commanded[06680][8765] him, reading[07121][8800] in the book[05612] the words[01697] of the LORD[03068] in the LORD'S[03068] house[01004].
38:5 And it came to pass in the fifth[02549] year[08141] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], in the ninth[08671] month[02320], that they proclaimed[07121][8804] a fast[06685] before[06440] the LORD[03068] to all the people[05971] in Jerusalem[03389], and to all the people[05971] that came[0935][8802] from the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] unto Jerusalem[03389].
38:6 Then read[07121][8799] Baruch[01263] in the book[05612] the words[01697] of Jeremiah[03414] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068], in the chamber[03957] of Gemariah[01587] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227] the scribe[05608][8802], in the higher[05945] court[02691], at the entry[06607] of the new[02319] gate[08179] of the LORD'S[03068] house[01004], in the ears[0241] of all the people[05971]. entry: or, door
38:7 When Michaiah[04321] the son[01121] of Gemariah[01587], the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], had heard[08085][8799] out of the book[05612] all the words[01697] of the LORD[03068],
38:8 Then he went down[03381][8799] into the king's[04428] house[01004], into the scribe's[05608][8802] chamber[03957]: and, lo, all the princes[08269] sat[03427][8802] there, even  Elishama[0476] the scribe[05608][8802], and Delaiah[01806] the son[01121] of Shemaiah[08098], and Elnathan[0494] the son[01121] of Achbor[05907], and Gemariah[01587] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], and Zedekiah[06667] the son[01121] of Hananiah[02608], and all the princes[08269].
38:9 Then Michaiah[04321] declared[05046][8686] unto them all the words[01697] that he had heard[08085][8804], when Baruch[01263] read[07121][8800] the book[05612] in the ears[0241] of the people[05971].
38:10 Therefore all the princes[08269] sent[07971][8799] Jehudi[03065] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], the son[01121] of Shelemiah[08018], the son[01121] of Cushi[03570], unto Baruch[01263], saying[0559][8800], Take[03947][8798] in thine hand[03027] the roll[04039] wherein thou hast read[07121][8804] in the ears[0241] of the people[05971], and come[03212][8798]. So Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374] took[03947][8799] the roll[04039] in his hand[03027], and came[0935][8799] unto them.
38:11 And they said[0559][8799] unto him, Sit down[03427][8798] now, and read[07121][8798] it in our ears[0241]. So Baruch[01263] read[07121][8799] it in their ears[0241].
38:12 Now it came to pass, when they had heard[08085][8800] all the words[01697], they were afraid[06342][8804] both[0413] one[0376] and other[07453], and said[0559][8799] unto Baruch[01263], We will surely[05046][8687] tell[05046][8686] the king[04428] of all these words[01697].
38:13 And they asked[07592][8804] Baruch[01263], saying[0559][8800], Tell[05046][8685] us now, How didst thou write[03789][8804] all these words[01697] at his mouth[06310]?
38:14 Then Baruch[01263] answered[0559][8799] them, He pronounced[07121][8799] all these words[01697] unto me with his mouth[06310], and I wrote[03789][8802] them with ink[01773] in the book[05612].
38:15 Then said[0559][8799] the princes[08269] unto Baruch[01263], Go[03212][8798], hide[05641][8734] thee, thou and Jeremiah[03414]; and let no man[0376] know[03045][8799] where[0375] ye be.
38:16 And they went in[0935][8799] to the king[04428] into the court[02691], but they laid up[06485][8689] the roll[04039] in the chamber[03957] of Elishama[0476] the scribe[05608][8802], and told[05046][8686] all the words[01697] in the ears[0241] of the king[04428].
38:17 So the king[04428] sent[07971][8799] Jehudi[03065] to fetch[03947][8800] the roll[04039]: and he took[03947][8799] it out of Elishama[0476] the scribe's[05608][8802] chamber[03957]. And Jehudi[03065] read[07121][8799] it in the ears[0241] of the king[04428], and in the ears[0241] of all the princes[08269] which stood[05975][8802] beside[05921] the king[04428].
38:18 Now the king[04428] sat[03427][8802] in the winterhouse[01004][02779] in the ninth[08671] month[02320]: and there was a fire on the hearth[0254] burning[01197][8794] before[06440] him.
38:19 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi[03065] had read[07121][8800] three[07969] or four[0702] leaves[01817], he cut[07167][8799] it with the penknife[08593][05608][8802], and cast[07993][8687] it into the fire[0784] that was on the hearth[0254], until all the roll[04039] was consumed[08552][8800] in the fire[0784] that was on the hearth[0254].
38:20 Yet they were not afraid[06342][8804], nor rent[07167][8804] their garments[0899], neither the king[04428], nor any of his servants[05650] that heard[08085][8802] all these words[01697].
38:21 Nevertheless Elnathan[0494] and Delaiah[01806] and Gemariah[01587] had made intercession[06293][8689] to the king[04428] that he would not burn[08313][8800] the roll[04039]: but he would not hear[08085][8804] them.
38:22 But the king[04428] commanded[06680][8762] Jerahmeel[03396] the son[01121] of Hammelech[04429], and Seraiah[08304] the son[01121] of Azriel[05837], and Shelemiah[08018] the son[01121] of Abdeel[05655], to take[03947][8800] Baruch[01263] the scribe[05608][8802] and Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030]: but the LORD[03068] hid[05641][8686] them. of Hammelech: or, of the king
38:23 Then the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came to Jeremiah[03414], after[0310] that the king[04428] had burned[08313][8800] the roll[04039], and the words[01697] which Baruch[01263] wrote[03789][8804] at the mouth[06310] of Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
38:24 Take[03947][8798] thee again[07725][8798] another[0312] roll[04039], and write[03789][8798] in it all the former[07223] words[01697] that were in the first[07223] roll[04039], which Jehoiakim[03079] the king[04428] of Judah[03063] hath burned[08313][8804].
38:25 And thou shalt say[0559][8799] to Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Thou hast burned[08313][8804] this roll[04039], saying[0559][8800], Why hast thou written[03789][8804] therein, saying[0559][8800], The king[04428] of Babylon[0894] shall certainly[0935][8800] come[0935][8799] and destroy[07843][8689] this land[0776], and shall cause to cease[07673][8689] from thence man[0120] and beast[0929]?
38:26 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063]; He shall have none to sit[03427][8802] upon the throne[03678] of David[01732]: and his dead body[05038] shall be cast out[07993][8716] in the day[03117] to the heat[02721], and in the night[03915] to the frost[07140].
38:27 And I will punish[06485][8804] him and his seed[02233] and his servants[05650] for their iniquity[05771]; and I will bring[0935][8689] upon them, and upon the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389], and upon the men[0376] of Judah[03063], all the evil[07451] that I have pronounced[01696][8765] against them; but they hearkened[08085][8804] not. punish: Heb. visit upon
38:28 Then took[03947][8804] Jeremiah[03414] another[0312] roll[04039], and gave[05414][8799] it to Baruch[01263] the scribe[05608][8802], the son[01121] of Neriah[05374]; who wrote[03789][8799] therein from the mouth[06310] of Jeremiah[03414] all the words[01697] of the book[05612] which Jehoiakim[03079] king[04428] of Judah[03063] had burned[08313][8804] in the fire[0784]: and there were added[03254][8738] besides unto them many[07227] like[01992] words[01697]. like: Heb. as they
39:1 And king[04428] Zedekiah[06667] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] reigned[04427][8799] instead of Coniah[03659] the son[01121] of Jehoiakim[03079], whom Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] made king[04427][8689] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063].
39:2 But neither he, nor his servants[05650], nor the people[05971] of the land[0776], did hearken[08085][8804] unto the words[01697] of the LORD[03068], which he spake[01696][8765] by[03027] the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414]. by...: Heb. by the hand of the prophet
39:3 And Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] sent[07971][8799] Jehucal[03081] the son[01121] of Shelemiah[08018] and Zephaniah[06846] the son[01121] of Maaseiah[04641] the priest[03548] to the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800], Pray[06419][8690] now unto the LORD[03068] our God[0430] for us.
39:4 Now Jeremiah[03414] came in[0935][8804] and went out[03318][8802] among[08432] the people[05971]: for they had not put[05414][8804] him into prison[01004][03628].
39:5 Then Pharaoh's[06547] army[02428] was come forth[03318][8804] out of Egypt[04714]: and when the Chaldeans[03778] that besieged[06696][8802] Jerusalem[03389] heard[08085][8799] tidings[08088] of them, they departed[05927][8735] from Jerusalem[03389].
39:6 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto the prophet[05030] Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
39:7 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Thus shall ye say[0559][8799] to the king[04428] of Judah[03063], that sent[07971][8802] you unto me to enquire[01875][8800] of me; Behold, Pharaoh's[06547] army[02428], which is come forth[03318][8802] to help[05833] you, shall return[07725][8804] to Egypt[04714] into their own land[0776].
39:8 And the Chaldeans[03778] shall come again[07725][8804], and fight[03898][8738] against this city[05892], and take[03920][8804] it, and burn[08313][8804] it with fire[0784].
39:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Deceive[05377][8686] not yourselves[05315], saying[0559][8800], The Chaldeans[03778] shall surely[01980][8800] depart[03212][8799] from us: for they shall not depart[03212][8799]. yourselves: Heb. your souls
39:10 For though ye had smitten[05221][8689] the whole army[02428] of the Chaldeans[03778] that fight[03898][8737] against you, and there remained[07604][8738] but wounded[01856][8794] men[0582] among them, yet  should they rise up[06965][8799] every man[0376] in his tent[0168], and burn[08313][8804] this city[05892] with fire[0784]. wounded: Heb. thrust through
39:11 And it came to pass, that when the army[02428] of the Chaldeans[03778] was broken up[05927][8736] from Jerusalem[03389] for fear[06440] of Pharaoh's[06547] army[02428], broken...: Heb. made to ascend
39:12 Then Jeremiah[03414] went forth[03318][8799] out of Jerusalem[03389] to go[03212][8800] into the land[0776] of Benjamin[01144], to separate[02505][8687] himself thence in the midst[08432] of the people[05971]. separate...: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people
39:13 And when he was in the gate[08179] of Benjamin[01144], a captain[01167] of the ward[06488] was there, whose name[08034] was Irijah[03376], the son[01121] of Shelemiah[08018], the son[01121] of Hananiah[02608]; and he took[08610][8799] Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030], saying[0559][8800], Thou fallest away[05307][8802] to the Chaldeans[03778].
39:14 Then said[0559][8799] Jeremiah[03414], It is false[08267]; I fall not away[05307][8802] to the Chaldeans[03778]. But he hearkened[08085][8804] not to him: so Irijah[03376] took[08610][8799] Jeremiah[03414], and brought[0935][8686] him to the princes[08269]. false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie
39:15 Wherefore the princes[08269] were wroth[07107][8799] with Jeremiah[03414], and smote[05221][8689] him, and put[05414][8804] him in prison[0612] in the house[01004] of Jonathan[03083] the scribe[05608][8802]: for they had made[06213][8804] that the prison[03608].
39:16 When Jeremiah[03414] was entered[0935][8804] into the dungeon[01004][0953], and into the cabins[02588], and Jeremiah[03414] had remained[03427][8799] there many[07227] days[03117]; cabins: or, cells
39:17 Then Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] sent[07971][8799], and took him out[03947][8799]: and the king[04428] asked[07592][8799] him secretly[05643] in his house[01004], and said[0559][8799], Is there any word[01697] from the LORD[03068]? And Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799], There is[03426]: for, said[0559][8799] he, thou shalt be delivered[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894].
39:18 Moreover Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799] unto king[04428] Zedekiah[06667], What have I offended[02398][8804] against thee, or against thy servants[05650], or against this people[05971], that ye have put[05414][8804] me in prison[01004][03608]?
40:1 Where are now[0346] your prophets[05030] which prophesied[05012][8738] unto you, saying[0559][8800], The king[04428] of Babylon[0894] shall not come[0935][8799] against you, nor against this land[0776]?
40:2 Therefore hear[08085][8798] now, I pray thee, O my lord[0113] the king[04428]: let my supplication[08467], I pray thee, be accepted[05307][8799] before[06440] thee; that thou cause me not to return[07725][8686] to the house[01004] of Jonathan[03083] the scribe[05608][8802], lest I die[04191][8799] there. let...: Heb. let my supplication fall
40:3 Then Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] commanded[06680][8762] that they should commit[06485][8686] Jeremiah[03414] into the court[02691] of the prison[04307], and that they should give[05414][8800] him daily[03117] a piece[03603] of bread[03899] out of the bakers[0644][8802]' street[02351], until all the bread[03899] in the city[05892] were spent[08552][8800]. Thus Jeremiah[03414] remained[03427][8799] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307].
40:4 Then Shephatiah[08203] the son[01121] of Mattan[04977], and Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Pashur[06583], and Jucal[03116] the son[01121] of Shelemiah[08018], and Pashur[06583] the son[01121] of Malchiah[04441], heard[08085][8799] the words[01697] that Jeremiah[03414] had spoken[01696][8764] unto all the people[05971], saying[0559][8800],
40:5 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], He that remaineth[03427][8802] in this city[05892] shall die[04191][8799] by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698]: but he that goeth forth[03318][8802] to the Chaldeans[03778] shall live[02421][8804]; for he shall have his life[05315] for a prey[07998], and shall live[02421][8799][8675][02425][8804].
40:6 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], This city[05892] shall surely[05414][8736] be given[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] army[02428], which shall take[03920][8804] it.
40:7 Therefore the princes[08269] said[0559][8799] unto the king[04428], We beseech thee, let this man[0376] be put to death[04191][8714]: for thus[03651] he weakeneth[07503][8764] the hands[03027] of the men[0582] of war[04421] that remain[07604][8737] in this city[05892], and the hands[03027] of all the people[05971], in speaking[01696][8763] such words[01697] unto them: for this man[0376] seeketh[01875][8802] not the welfare[07965] of this people[05971], but the hurt[07451]. welfare: Heb. peace
40:8 Then Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] said[0559][8799], Behold, he is in your hand[03027]: for the king[04428] is not he that can[03201][8799] do any thing[01697] against you.
40:9 Then took[03947][8799] they Jeremiah[03414], and cast[07993][8686] him into the dungeon[0953] of Malchiah[04441] the son[01121] of Hammelech[04428], that was in the court[02691] of the prison[04307]: and they let down[07971][8762] Jeremiah[03414] with cords[02256]. And in the dungeon[0953] there was no water[04325], but mire[02916]: so Jeremiah[03414] sunk[02883][8799] in the mire[02916]. of Hammelech: or, of the king
40:10 Now when Ebedmelech[05663] the Ethiopian[03569], one[0376] of the eunuchs[05631] which was in the king's[04428] house[01004], heard[08085][8799] that they had put[05414][8804] Jeremiah[03414] in the dungeon[0953]; the king[04428] then sitting[03427][8802] in the gate[08179] of Benjamin[01144];
40:11 Ebedmelech[05663] went forth[03318][8799] out of the king's[04428] house[01004], and spake[01696][8762] to the king[04428], saying[0559][8800],
40:12 My lord[0113] the king[04428], these men[0582] have done evil[07489][8689] in all that they have done[06213][8804] to Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030], whom they have cast[07993][8689] into the dungeon[0953]; and he is like to die[04191][8799] for[06440] hunger[07458] in the place[08478] where he is: for there is no more bread[03899] in the city[05892]. he is like...: Heb. he will die
40:13 Then the king[04428] commanded[06680][8762] Ebedmelech[05663] the Ethiopian[03569], saying[0559][8800], Take[03947][8798] from hence thirty[07970] men[0582] with thee[03027], and take up[05927][8689] Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] out of the dungeon[0953], before he die[04191][8799]. with thee: Heb. in thine hand
40:14 So Ebedmelech[05663] took[03947][8799] the men[0582] with him[03027], and went[0935][8799] into the house[01004] of the king[04428] under the treasury[0214], and took[03947][8799] thence old[01094] cast clouts[05499] and old[01094] rotten rags[04418], and let them down[07971][8762] by cords[02256] into the dungeon[0953] to Jeremiah[03414].
40:15 And Ebedmelech[05663] the Ethiopian[03569] said[0559][8799] unto Jeremiah[03414], Put[07760][8798] now these old[01094] cast clouts[05499] and rotten rags[04418] under thine armholes[0679][03027] under the cords[02256]. And Jeremiah[03414] did[06213][8799] so.
40:16 So they drew up[04900][8799] Jeremiah[03414] with cords[02256], and took him up[05927][8686] out of the dungeon[0953]: and Jeremiah[03414] remained[03427][8799] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307].
41:1 Then Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] sent[07971][8799], and took[03947][8799] Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] unto him into the third[07992] entry[03996] that is in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068]: and the king[04428] said[0559][8799] unto Jeremiah[03414], I will ask[07592][8802] thee a thing[01697]; hide[03582][8762] nothing from me. third: or, principal
41:2 Then Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799] unto Zedekiah[06667], If I declare[05046][8686] it unto thee, wilt thou not surely[04191][8687] put me to death[04191][8686]? and if I give thee counsel[03289][8799], wilt thou not hearken[08085][8799] unto me?
41:3 So Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] sware[07650][8735] secretly[05643] unto Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800], As the LORD[03068] liveth[02416], that made[06213][8804] us this soul[05315], I will not put thee to death[04191][8686], neither will I give[05414][8799] thee into the hand[03027] of these men[0582] that seek[01245][8764] thy life[05315].
41:4 Then said[0559][8799] Jeremiah[03414] unto Zedekiah[06667], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; If thou wilt assuredly[03318][8800] go forth[03318][8799] unto the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] princes[08269], then thy soul[05315] shall live[02421][8804], and this city[05892] shall not be burned[08313][8735] with fire[0784]; and thou shalt live[02421][8804], and thine house[01004]:
41:5 But if thou wilt not go forth[03318][8799] to the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] princes[08269], then shall this city[05892] be given[05414][8738] into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778], and they shall burn[08313][8804] it with fire[0784], and thou shalt not escape out[04422][8735] of their hand[03027].
41:6 And Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] said[0559][8799] unto Jeremiah[03414], I am afraid[01672][8802] of the Jews[03064] that are fallen[05307][8804] to the Chaldeans[03778], lest they deliver[05414][8799] me into their hand[03027], and they mock[05953][8694] me.
41:7 But Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799], They shall not deliver[05414][8799] thee . Obey[08085][8798], I beseech thee, the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068], which I speak[01696][8802] unto thee: so it shall be well[03190][8799] unto thee, and thy soul[05315] shall live[02421][8799].
41:8 But if thou refuse[03986] to go forth[03318][8800], this is the word[01697] that the LORD[03068] hath shewed[07200][8689] me:
41:9 And, behold, all the women[0802] that are left[07604][8738] in the king[04428] of Judah's[03063] house[01004] shall be brought forth[03318][8716] to the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] princes[08269], and those  women shall say[0559][8802], Thy friends[0582][07965] have set thee on[05496][8689], and have prevailed[03201][8804] against thee: thy feet[07272] are sunk[02883][8717] in the mire[01206], and they are turned away[05472][8738] back[0268]. Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace
41:10 So they shall bring out[03318][8688] all thy wives[0802] and thy children[01121] to the Chaldeans[03778]: and thou shalt not escape out[04422][8735] of their hand[03027], but shalt be taken[08610][8735] by the hand[03027] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894]: and thou shalt cause this city[05892] to be burned[08313][8799] with fire[0784]. thou shalt cause...: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc
41:11 Then said[0559][8799] Zedekiah[06667] unto Jeremiah[03414], Let no man[0376] know[03045][8799] of these words[01697], and thou shalt not die[04191][8799].
41:12 But if the princes[08269] hear[08085][8799] that I have talked[01696][8765] with thee, and they come[0935][8804] unto thee, and say[0559][8804] unto thee, Declare[05046][8685] unto us now what thou hast said[01696][8765] unto the king[04428], hide[03582][8762] it not from us, and we will not put thee to death[04191][8686]; also what the king[04428] said[01696][8765] unto thee:
41:13 Then thou shalt say[0559][8804] unto them, I presented[05307][8688] my supplication[08467] before[06440] the king[04428], that he would not cause me to return[07725][8687] to Jonathan's[03083] house[01004], to die[04191][8800] there.
41:14 Then came[0935][8799] all the princes[08269] unto Jeremiah[03414], and asked[07592][8799] him: and he told[05046][8686] them according to all these words[01697] that the king[04428] had commanded[06680][8765]. So they left off speaking[02790][8686] with him; for the matter[01697] was not perceived[08085][8738]. they...: Heb. they were silent from him
41:15 So Jeremiah[03414] abode[03427][8799] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307] until the day[03117] that Jerusalem[03389] was taken[03920][8738]: and he was there when Jerusalem[03389] was taken[03920][8738].
41:16 In the ninth[08671] year[08141] of Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063], in the tenth[06224] month[02320], came[0935][8804] Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] and all his army[02428] against Jerusalem[03389], and they besieged[06696][8799] it.
41:17 And in the eleventh[06249][06240] year[08141] of Zedekiah[06667], in the fourth[07243] month[02320], the ninth[08672] day of the month[02320], the city[05892] was broken up[01234][8717].
41:18 And all the princes[08269] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] came in[0935][8799], and sat[03427][8799] in the middle[08432] gate[08179], even Nergalsharezer[05371], Samgarnebo[05562], Sarsechim[08310], Rabsaris[07249], Nergalsharezer[05371], Rabmag[07248], with all the residue[07611] of the princes[08269] of the king[04428] of Babylon[0894].
42:1 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah[06667] the king[04428] of Judah[03063] saw[07200][8804] them, and all the men[0582] of war[04421], then they fled[01272][8799], and went forth[03318][8799] out of the city[05892] by night[03915], by the way[01870] of the king's[04428] garden[01588], by the gate[08179] betwixt the two walls[02346]: and he went out[03318][8799] the way[01870] of the plain[06160].
42:2 But the Chaldeans[03778]' army[02428] pursued[07291][8799] after[0310] them, and overtook[05381][8686] Zedekiah[06667] in the plains[06160] of Jericho[03405]: and when they had taken[03947][8799] him, they brought him up[05927][8686] to Nebuchadnezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] to Riblah[07247] in the land[0776] of Hamath[02574], where he gave[01696][8762] judgment[04941] upon him. gave...: Heb. spake with him judgments
42:3 Then the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] slew[07819][8799] the sons[01121] of Zedekiah[06667] in Riblah[07247] before his eyes[05869]: also the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] slew[07819][8804] all the nobles[02715] of Judah[03063].
42:4 Moreover he put out[05786][8765] Zedekiah's[06667] eyes[05869], and bound[0631][8799] him with chains[05178], to carry[0935][8687] him to Babylon[0894]. with...: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters
42:5 And the Chaldeans[03778] burned[08313][8804] the king's[04428] house[01004], and the houses[01004] of the people[05971], with fire[0784], and brake down[05422][8804] the walls[02346] of Jerusalem[03389].
42:6 Then Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] carried away captive[01540][8689] into Babylon[0894] the remnant[03499] of the people[05971] that remained[07604][8737] in the city[05892], and those that fell away[05307][8802], that fell[05307][8804] to him, with the rest[03499] of the people[05971] that remained[07604][8737]. captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen
42:7 But Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] left[07604][8689] of the poor[01800] of the people[05971], which had nothing[03972], in the land[0776] of Judah[03063], and gave[05414][8799] them vineyards[03754] and fields[03010] at the same time[03117]. captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen at the...: Heb. in that day
42:8 Now Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] gave charge[06680][8762] concerning Jeremiah[03414] to[03027] Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876], saying[0559][8800], to: Heb. by the hand of captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen
42:9 Take[03947][8798] him, and look well[05869][07760][8798] to him, and do[06213][8799] him no harm[03972][07451]; but do[06213][8798] unto him even as he shall say[01696][8762] unto thee. look...: Heb. set thine eyes upon him
42:10 So Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] sent[07971][8799], and Nebushasban[05021], Rabsaris[07249], and Nergalsharezer[05371], Rabmag[07248], and all the king[04428] of Babylon's[0894] princes[07227]; captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen
42:11 Even they sent[07971][8799], and took[03947][8799] Jeremiah[03414] out of the court[02691] of the prison[04307], and committed[05414][8799] him unto Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], that he should carry[03318][8687] him home[01004]: so he dwelt[03427][8799] among[08432] the people[05971].
42:12 Now the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jeremiah[03414], while he was shut up[06113][8803] in the court[02691] of the prison[04307], saying[0559][8800],
42:13 Go[01980][8800] and speak[0559][8804] to Ebedmelech[05663] the Ethiopian[03569], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will bring[0935][8688] my words[01697] upon this city[05892] for evil[07451], and not for good[02896]; and they shall be accomplished in that day[03117] before[06440] thee.
42:14 But I will deliver[05337][8689] thee in that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: and thou shalt not be given[05414][8735] into the hand[03027] of the men[0582] of whom[06440] thou art afraid[03016][8801].
42:15 For I will surely[04422][8763] deliver[04422][8762] thee, and thou shalt not fall[05307][8799] by the sword[02719], but thy life[05315] shall be for a prey[07998] unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust[0982][8804] in me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
42:16 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] from the LORD[03068], after[0310] that Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] had let him go[07971][8763] from Ramah[07414], when he had taken[03947][8800] him being bound[0631][8803] in chains[0246] among[08432] all that were carried away captive[01546] of Jerusalem[03389] and Judah[03063], which were carried away captive[01540][8716] unto Babylon[0894]. chains: or, manicles
42:17 And the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] took[03947][8799] Jeremiah[03414], and said[0559][8799] unto him, The LORD[03068] thy God[0430] hath pronounced[01696][8765] this evil[07451] upon this place[04725].
42:18 Now the LORD[03068] hath brought[0935][8686] it , and done[06213][8799] according as he hath said[01696][8765]: because ye have sinned[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068], and have not obeyed[08085][8804] his voice[06963], therefore this thing[01697] is come upon you.
42:19 And now, behold, I loose[06605][8765] thee this day[03117] from the chains[0246] which were upon thine hand[03027]. If it seem good[02896][05869] unto thee to come[0935][8800] with me into Babylon[0894], come[0935][8798]; and I will look well[07760][8799][05869] unto thee: but if it seem ill[07489][8804][05869] unto thee to come[0935][8800] with me into Babylon[0894], forbear[02308][8798]: behold[07200][8798], all the land[0776] is  before[06440] thee: whither it seemeth[0413] good[02896] and convenient[03477][05869] for thee to go[03212][8800], thither go[03212][8798]. were...: or, are upon thine hand I will...: Heb. I will set mine eye upon thee
42:20 Now while he was not yet gone back[07725][8799], he said , Go back[07725][8798] also to Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], whom the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] hath made governor[06485][8689] over the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and dwell[03427][8798] with him among[08432] the people[05971]: or go[03212][8798] wheresoever it seemeth convenient[03477][05869] unto thee to go[03212][8800]. So the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] gave[05414][8799] him victuals[0737] and a reward[04864], and let him go[07971][8762].
42:21 Then went[0935][8799] Jeremiah[03414] unto Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] to Mizpah[04708]; and dwelt[03427][8799] with him among[08432] the people[05971] that were left[07604][8737] in the land[0776].
42:22 Now when all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] which were in the fields[07704], even they and their men[0582], heard[08085][8799] that the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] had made Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] governor[06485][8689] in the land[0776], and had committed[06485][8689] unto him men[0582], and women[0802], and children[02945], and of the poor[01803] of the land[0776], of them that were not carried away captive[01540][8717] to Babylon[0894];
43:1 Then they came[0935][8799] to Gedaliah[01436] to Mizpah[04708], even Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], and Johanan[03110] and Jonathan[03129] the sons[01121] of Kareah[07143], and Seraiah[08304] the son[01121] of Tanhumeth[08576], and the sons[01121] of Ephai[05778] the Netophathite[05200], and Jezaniah[03153] the son[01121] of a Maachathite[04602], they and their men[0582].
43:2 And Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227] sware[07650][8735] unto them and to their men[0582], saying[0559][8800], Fear[03372][8799] not to serve[05647][8800] the Chaldeans[03778]: dwell in[03427][8798] the land[0776], and serve[05647][8798] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], and it shall be well[03190][8799] with you.
43:3 As for me, behold, I will dwell[03427][8802] at Mizpah[04709] to serve[05975][8800][06440] the Chaldeans[03778], which will come[0935][8799] unto us: but ye, gather[0622][8798] ye wine[03196], and summer fruits[07019], and oil[08081], and put[07760][8798] them in your vessels[03627], and dwell[03427][8798] in your cities[05892] that ye have taken[08610][8804]. to serve: Heb. to stand before
43:4 Likewise when all the Jews[03064] that were in Moab[04124], and among the Ammonites[05983], and in Edom[0123], and that were in all the countries[0776], heard[08085][8804] that the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] had left[05414][8804] a remnant[07611] of Judah[03063], and that he had set[06485][8689] over them Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227];
43:5 Even all the Jews[03064] returned out[07725][8799] of all places[04725] whither they were driven[05080][8738], and came[0935][8799] to the land[0776] of Judah[03063], to Gedaliah[01436], unto Mizpah[04708], and gathered[0622][8799] wine[03196] and summer fruits[07019] very[03966] much[07235][8687].
43:6 Moreover Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] that were in the fields[07704], came[0935][8804] to Gedaliah[01436] to Mizpah[04708],
43:7 And said[0559][8799] unto him, Dost thou certainly[03045][8800] know[03045][8799] that Baalis[01185] the king[04428] of the Ammonites[01121][05983] hath sent[07971][8804] Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] to slay[05221][8687][05315] thee? But Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] believed[0539][8689] them not. to slay...: Heb. to strike thee in soul?
43:8 Then Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143] spake[0559][8804] to Gedaliah[01436] in Mizpah[04709] secretly[05643], saying[0559][8800], Let me go[03212][8799], I pray thee, and I will slay[05221][8686] Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], and no man[0376] shall know[03045][8799] it : wherefore should he slay[05221][8686][05315] thee, that all the Jews[03064] which are gathered[06908][8737] unto thee should be scattered[06327][8738], and the remnant[07611] in Judah[03063] perish[06][8804]?
43:9 But Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] said[0559][8799] unto Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], Thou shalt not do[06213][8799] this thing[01697]: for thou speakest[01696][8802] falsely[08267] of Ishmael[03458].
43:10 Now it came to pass in the seventh[07637] month[02320], that Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] the son[01121] of Elishama[0476], of the seed[02233] royal[04410], and the princes[07227] of the king[04428], even ten[06235] men[0582] with him, came[0935][8804] unto Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] to Mizpah[04709]; and there they did eat[0398][8799] bread[03899] together[03162] in Mizpah[04708].
43:11 Then arose[06965][8799] Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], and the ten[06235] men[0582] that were with him, and smote[05221][8686] Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227] with the sword[02719], and slew[04191][8686] him, whom the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] had made governor[06485][8689] over the land[0776].
43:12 Ishmael[03458] also slew[05221][8689] all the Jews[03064] that were with him, even with Gedaliah[01436], at Mizpah[04709], and the Chaldeans[03778] that were found[04672][8738] there, and the men[0582] of war[04421].
43:13 And it came to pass the second[08145] day[03117] after he had slain[04191][8687] Gedaliah[01436], and no man[0376] knew[03045][8804] it ,
44:1 That there came[0935][8799] certain[0582] from Shechem[07927], from Shiloh[07887], and from Samaria[08111], even fourscore[08084] men[0376], having their beards[02206] shaven[01548][8794], and their clothes[0899] rent[07167][8803], and having cut[01413][8706] themselves, with offerings[04503] and incense[03828] in their hand[03027], to bring[0935][8687] them to the house[01004] of the LORD[03068].
44:2 And Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] went forth[03318][8799] from Mizpah[04709] to meet[07125][8800] them, weeping[01058][8802] all along[01980][8800] as he went[01980][8802]: and it came to pass, as he met[06298][8800] them, he said[0559][8799] unto them, Come[0935][8798] to Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296]. weeping...: Heb. in going and weeping
44:3 And it was so , when they came[0935][8800] into the midst[08432] of the city[05892], that Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] slew[07819][8799] them, and cast them into the midst[08432] of the pit[0953], he, and the men[0582] that were with him.
44:4 But ten[06235] men[0582] were found[04672][8738] among them that said[0559][8799] unto Ishmael[03458], Slay[04191][8686] us not: for we have[03426] treasures[04301] in the field[07704], of wheat[02406], and of barley[08184], and of oil[08081], and of honey[01706]. So he forbare[02308][8799], and slew[04191][8689] them not among[08432] their brethren[0251].
44:5 Now the pit[0953] wherein Ishmael[03458] had cast[07993][8689] all the dead bodies[06297] of the men[0582], whom he had slain[05221][8689] because[03027] of Gedaliah[01436], was  it which Asa[0609] the king[04428] had made[06213][8804] for fear[06440] of Baasha[01201] king[04428] of Israel[03478]: and Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] filled[04390][8765] it with them that were slain[02491]. because...: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah
44:6 Then Ishmael[03458] carried away captive[07617][8799] all the residue[07611] of the people[05971] that were in Mizpah[04709], even the king's[04428] daughters[01323], and all the people[05971] that remained[07604][8737] in Mizpah[04709], whom Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] had committed[06485][8689] to Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296]: and Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] carried them away captive[07617][8799], and departed[03212][8799] to go over[05674][8800] to the Ammonites[01121][05983].
44:7 But when Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] that were with him, heard[08085][8799] of all the evil[07451] that Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] had done[06213][8804],
44:8 Then they took[03947][8799] all the men[0582], and went[03212][8799] to fight[03898][8736] with Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], and found[04672][8799] him by the great[07227] waters[04325] that are  in Gibeon[01391].
44:9 Now it came to pass, that when all the people[05971] which were with Ishmael[03458] saw[07200][8800] Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] that  were with him, then they were glad[08055][8799].
44:10 So all the people[05971] that Ishmael[03458] had carried away captive[07617][8804] from Mizpah[04709] cast about[05437][8799] and returned[07725][8799], and went[03212][8799] unto Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143].
44:11 But Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] escaped[04422][8738] from[06440] Johanan[03110] with eight[08083] men[0582], and went[03212][8799] to the Ammonites[01121][05983].
44:12 Then took[03947][8799] Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] that were with him, all the remnant[07611] of the people[05971] whom he had recovered[07725][8689] from Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418], from Mizpah[04709], after[0310] that he had slain[05221][8689] Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296], even mighty[01397] men[0582] of war[04421], and the women[0802], and the children[02945], and the eunuchs[05631], whom he had brought again[07725][8689] from Gibeon[01391]:
44:13 And they departed[03212][8799], and dwelt in[03427][8799] the habitation[01628] of Chimham[03643], which is by[0681] Bethlehem[01035], to go[03212][8800] to enter[0935][8800] into Egypt[04714],
44:14 Because[06440] of the Chaldeans[03778]: for they were afraid[03372][8804] of them, because Ishmael[03458] the son[01121] of Nethaniah[05418] had slain[05221][8689] Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296], whom the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] made governor[06485][8689] in the land[0776].
44:15 Then all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428], and Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and Jezaniah[03153] the son[01121] of Hoshaiah[01955], and all the people[05971] from the least[06996] even unto the greatest[01419], came near[05066][8799],
44:16 And said[0559][8799] unto Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030], Let, we beseech thee, our supplication[08467] be accepted[05307][8799] before[06440] thee, and pray[06419][8690] for us unto the LORD[03068] thy God[0430],  even for all this remnant[07611]; (for we are left[07604][8738] but a few[04592] of many[07235][8687], as thine eyes[05869] do behold[07200][8802] us:) Let...: or, Let our supplication fall before thee
44:17 That the LORD[03068] thy God[0430] may shew[05046][8686] us the way[01870] wherein we may walk[03212][8799], and the thing[01697] that we may do[06213][8799].
44:18 Then Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] said[0559][8799] unto them, I have heard[08085][8804] you ; behold, I will pray[06419][8693] unto the LORD[03068] your God[0430] according to your words[01697]; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing[01697] the LORD[03068] shall answer[06030][8799] you, I will declare[05046][8686] it unto you; I will keep[04513][00] nothing[01697] back[04513][8799] from you.
44:19 Then they said[0559][8804] to Jeremiah[03414], The LORD[03068] be a true[0571] and faithful[0539][8737] witness[05707] between us, if we do[06213][8799] not even according to all things[01697] for the which the LORD[03068] thy God[0430] shall send[07971][8799] thee to us.
44:20 Whether it be good[02896], or whether it be evil[07451], we will obey[08085][8799] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430], to whom we[0580] send[07971][8802] thee; that it may be well[03190][8799] with us, when we obey[08085][8799] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
44:21 And it came to pass after[07093] ten[06235] days[03117], that the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Jeremiah[03414].
44:22 Then called[07121][8799] he Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428] which were with him, and all the people[05971] from the least[06996] even to the greatest[01419],
44:23 And said[0559][8799] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], unto whom ye sent[07971][8804] me to present[05307][8687] your supplication[08467] before[06440] him;
44:24 If ye will still[07725][8800] abide[03427][8799] in this land[0776], then will I build[01129][8804] you, and not pull you down[02040][8799], and I will plant[05193][8804] you, and not pluck you up[05428][8799]: for I repent[05162][8738] me of the evil[07451] that I have done[06213][8804] unto you.
44:25 Be not afraid[03372][8799] of[06440] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], of whom[06440] ye are afraid[03373]; be not afraid[03372][8799] of him, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: for I am with you to save[03467][8687] you, and to deliver[05337][8687] you from his hand[03027].
44:26 And I will shew[05414][8799] mercies[07356] unto you, that he may have mercy[07355][8765] upon you, and cause you to return[07725][8689] to your own land[0127].
44:27 But if ye say[0559][8802], We will not dwell[03427][8799] in this land[0776], neither obey[08085][8800] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] your God[0430],
44:28 Saying[0559][8800], No; but we will go[0935][8799] into the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], where we shall see[07200][8799] no war[04421], nor hear[08085][8799] the sound[06963] of the trumpet[07782], nor have hunger[07456][8799] of bread[03899]; and there will we dwell[03427][8799]:
44:29 And now therefore hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], ye remnant[07611] of Judah[03063]; Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; If ye wholly[07760][8800] set[07760][8799] your faces[06440] to enter[0935][8800] into Egypt[04714], and go[0935][8804] to sojourn[01481][8800] there;
44:30 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword[02719], which ye feared[03373], shall overtake[05381][8686] you there in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], and the famine[07458], whereof ye were afraid[01672][8802], shall follow close[01692][8799] after[0310] you there in Egypt[04714]; and there ye shall die[04191][8799]. shall follow...: Heb. shall cleave after you
45:1 So shall it be with all the men[0582] that set[07760][8804] their faces[06440] to go[0935][8800] into Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there; they shall die[04191][8799] by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698]: and none of them shall remain[08300] or escape[06412] from[06440] the evil[07451] that I will bring[0935][8688] upon them. So...: Heb. So shall all the men be
45:2 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; As mine anger[0639] and my fury[02534] hath been poured forth[05413][8738] upon the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Jerusalem[03389]; so shall my fury[02534] be poured forth[05413][8799] upon you, when ye shall enter[0935][8800] into Egypt[04714]: and ye shall be an execration[0423], and an astonishment[08047], and a curse[07045], and a reproach[02781]; and ye shall see[07200][8799] this place[04725] no more.
45:3 The LORD[03068] hath said[01696][8765] concerning you, O ye remnant[07611] of Judah[03063]; Go[0935][8799] ye not into Egypt[04714]: know[03045][8799] certainly[03045][8800] that I have admonished[05749][8689] you this day[03117]. admonished...: Heb. testified against you
45:4 For ye dissembled[08582][8689] in your hearts[05315], when ye sent[07971][8804] me unto the LORD[03068] your God[0430], saying[0559][8800], Pray[06419][8690] for us unto the LORD[03068] our God[0430]; and according unto all that the LORD[03068] our God[0430] shall say[0559][8799], so declare[05046][8685] unto us, and we will do[06213][8804] it . ye dissembled...: or, ye have used deceit against your souls
45:5 And now I have this day[03117] declared[05046][8686] it to you; but ye have not obeyed[08085][8804] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] your God[0430], nor any thing  for the which he hath sent[07971][8804] me unto you.
46:1 Now therefore know[03045][8799] certainly[03045][8800] that ye shall die[04191][8799] by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698], in the place[04725] whither ye desire[02654][8804] to go[0935][8800] and to sojourn[01481][8800]. to go...: or, to go to sojourn
46:2 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah[03414] had made an end[03615][8763] of speaking[01696][8763] unto all the people[05971] all the words[01697] of the LORD[03068] their God[0430], for which the LORD[03068] their God[0430] had sent[07971][8804] him to them, even all these words[01697],
46:3 Then spake[0559][8799] Azariah[05838] the son[01121] of Hoshaiah[01955], and Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the proud[02086] men[0582], saying[0559][8802] unto Jeremiah[03414], Thou speakest[01696][8764] falsely[08267]: the LORD[03068] our God[0430] hath not sent[07971][8804] thee to say[0559][8800], Go[0935][8799] not into Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there:
46:4 But Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374] setteth thee on[05496][8688] against us, for to[04616] deliver[05414][8800] us into the hand[03027] of the Chaldeans[03778], that they might put us to death[04191][8687], and carry us away captives[01540][8687] into Babylon[0894].
46:5 So Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428], and all the people[05971], obeyed[08085][8804] not the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068], to dwell[03427][8800] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063].
46:6 But Johanan[03110] the son[01121] of Kareah[07143], and all the captains[08269] of the forces[02428], took[03947][8799] all the remnant[07611] of Judah[03063], that were returned[07725][8804] from all nations[01471], whither they had been driven[05080][8738], to dwell[01481][8800] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063];
46:7 Even men[01397], and women[0802], and children[02945], and the king's[04428] daughters[01323], and every person[05315] that Nebuzaradan[05018] the captain[07227] of the guard[02876] had left[03240][8689] with Gedaliah[01436] the son[01121] of Ahikam[0296] the son[01121] of Shaphan[08227], and Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030], and Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374].
46:8 So they came[0935][8799] into the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]: for they obeyed[08085][8804] not the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068]: thus came[0935][8799] they even to Tahpanhes[08471].
46:9 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Jeremiah[03414] in Tahpanhes[08471], saying[0559][8800],
46:10 Take[03947][8798] great[01419] stones[068] in thine hand[03027], and hide[02934][8804] them in the clay[04423] in the brickkiln[04404], which is at the entry[06607] of Pharaoh's[06547] house[01004] in Tahpanhes[08471], in the sight[05869] of the men[0582] of Judah[03064];
46:11 And say[0559][8804] unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will send[07971][8802] and take[03947][8804] Nebuchadrezzar[05019] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894], my servant[05650], and will set[07760][8804] his throne[03678] upon[04605] these stones[068] that I have hid[02934][8804]; and he shall spread[05186][8804] his royal pavilion[08237] over them.
46:12 And when he cometh[0935][8804], he shall smite[05221][8689] the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], and deliver such as are for death[04194] to death[04194]; and such as are for captivity[07628] to captivity[07628]; and such as are for the sword[02719] to the sword[02719].
46:13 And I will kindle[03341][8689] a fire[0784] in the houses[01004] of the gods[0430] of Egypt[04714]; and he shall burn[08313][8804] them, and carry them away captives[07617][8804]: and he shall array[05844][8804] himself with the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], as a shepherd[07462][8802] putteth on[05844][8799] his garment[0899]; and he shall go forth[03318][8804] from thence in peace[07965].
46:14 He shall break[07665][8765] also the images[04676] of Bethshemesh[01053], that is in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]; and the houses[01004] of the gods[0430] of the Egyptians[04714] shall he burn[08313][8799] with fire[0784]. images: Heb. statues, or, standing images Bethshemesh: or, The house of the sun
46:15 The word[01697] that came to Jeremiah[03414] concerning all the Jews[03064] which dwell[03427][8802] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], which dwell[03427][8802] at Migdol[04024], and at Tahpanhes[08471], and at Noph[05297], and in the country[0776] of Pathros[06624], saying[0559][8800],
46:16 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Ye have seen[07200][8804] all the evil[07451] that I have brought[0935][8689] upon Jerusalem[03389], and upon all the cities[05892] of Judah[03063]; and, behold, this day[03117] they are a desolation[02723], and no man dwelleth[03427][8802] therein,
46:17 Because[06440] of their wickedness[07451] which they have committed[06213][8804] to provoke me to anger[03707][8687], in that they went[03212][8800] to burn incense[06999][8763], and to serve[05647][8800] other[0312] gods[0430], whom they knew[03045][8804] not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers[01].
46:18 Howbeit I sent[07971][8799] unto you all my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], rising early[07925][8687] and sending[07971][8800] them , saying[0559][8800], Oh, do[06213][8799] not this abominable[08441] thing[01697] that I hate[08130][8804].
46:19 But they hearkened[08085][8804] not, nor inclined[05186][8689] their ear[0241] to turn[07725][8800] from their wickedness[07451], to burn no incense[06999][8763] unto other[0312] gods[0430].
46:20 Wherefore my fury[02534] and mine anger[0639] was poured forth[05413][8799], and was kindled[01197][8799] in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063] and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389]; and they are wasted[02723] and  desolate[08077], as at this day[03117].
46:21 Therefore now thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Wherefore commit[06213][8802] ye this great[01419] evil[07451] against your souls[05315], to cut off[03772][8687] from you man[0376] and woman[0802], child[05768] and suckling[03243][8802], out[08432] of Judah[03063], to leave[03498][8687] you none to remain[07611]; out...: Heb. out of the midst of Judah
46:22 In that ye provoke me unto wrath[03707][8687] with the works[04639] of your hands[03027], burning incense[06999][8763] unto other[0312] gods[0430] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], whither ye be gone[0935][8802] to dwell[01481][8800], that ye might cut yourselves off[03772][8687], and that ye might be a curse[07045] and a reproach[02781] among all the nations[01471] of the earth[0776]?
46:23 Have ye forgotten[07911][8804] the wickedness[07451] of your fathers[01], and the wickedness[07451] of the kings[04428] of Judah[03063], and the wickedness[07451] of their wives[0802], and your own wickedness[07451], and the wickedness[07451] of your wives[0802], which they have committed[06213][8804] in the land[0776] of Judah[03063], and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389]? wickedness...: Heb. wickednesses, or, punishments, etc
46:24 They are not humbled[01792][8795] even unto this day[03117], neither have they feared[03372][8804], nor walked[01980][8804] in my law[08451], nor in my statutes[02708], that I set[05414][8804] before[06440] you and before[06440] your fathers[01]. humbled: Heb. contrite
46:25 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will set[07760][8802] my face[06440] against you for evil[07451], and to cut off[03772][8687] all Judah[03063].
46:26 And I will take[03947][8804] the remnant[07611] of Judah[03063], that have set[07760][8804] their faces[06440] to go[0935][8800] into the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there, and they shall all be consumed[08552][8804], and fall[05307][8799] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]; they shall even be consumed[08552][8735] by the sword[02719] and by the famine[07458]: they shall die[04191][8799], from the least[06996] even unto the greatest[01419], by the sword[02719] and by the famine[07458]: and they shall be an execration[0423], and an astonishment[08047], and a curse[07045], and a reproach[02781].
46:27 For I will punish[06485][8804] them that dwell[03427][8802] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], as I have punished[06485][8804] Jerusalem[03389], by the sword[02719], by the famine[07458], and by the pestilence[01698]:
46:28 So that none of the remnant[07611] of Judah[03063], which are gone[0935][8802] into the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there, shall escape[06412] or remain[08300], that they should return[07725][8800] into the land[0776] of Judah[03063], to the which they have[05375][8764] a desire[05315] to return[07725][8800] to dwell[03427][8800] there: for none shall return[07725][8799] but such as shall escape[06405]. have...: Heb. lift up their soul
47:1 Then all the men[0582] which knew[03045][8802] that their wives[0802] had burned incense[06999][8764] unto other[0312] gods[0430], and all the women[0802] that stood by[05975][8802], a great[01419] multitude[06951], even all the people[05971] that dwelt[03427][8802] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], in Pathros[06624], answered[06030][8799] Jeremiah[03414], saying[0559][8800],
47:2 As for the word[01697] that thou hast spoken[01696][8765] unto us in the name[08034] of the LORD[03068], we will not hearken[08085][8802] unto thee.
47:3 But we will certainly[06213][8800] do[06213][8799] whatsoever thing[01697] goeth forth[03318][8804] out of our own mouth[06310], to burn incense[06999][8763] unto the queen[04446] of heaven[08064], and to pour out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto her, as we have done[06213][8804], we, and our fathers[01], our kings[04428], and our princes[08269], in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389]: for then  had we plenty[07646][8799] of victuals[03899], and were well[02896], and saw[07200][8804] no evil[07451]. queen...: or, frame of heaven victuals: Heb. bread
47:4 But since we left off[02308][8804] to burn incense[06999][8763] to the queen[04446] of heaven[08064], and to pour out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto her, we have wanted[02637][8804] all things , and have been consumed[08552][8804] by the sword[02719] and by the famine[07458].
47:5 And when we burned incense[06999][8764] to the queen[04446] of heaven[08064], and poured out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto her, did we make[06213][8804] her cakes[03561] to worship[06087][8687] her, and pour out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto her, without[01107] our men[0582]? men: or, husbands?
47:6 Then Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799] unto all the people[05971], to the men[01397], and to the women[0802], and to all the people[05971] which had given him that answer[01697][06030][8802], saying[0559][8800],
47:7 The incense[07002] that ye burned[06999][8765] in the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], and in the streets[02351] of Jerusalem[03389], ye, and your fathers[01], your kings[04428], and your princes[08269], and the people[05971] of the land[0776], did not the LORD[03068] remember[02142][8804] them, and came[05927][8799] it not into his mind[03820]?
48:1 So that the LORD[03068] could[03201][8799] no longer bear[05375][8800], because[06440] of the evil[07455] of your doings[04611], and because[06440] of the abominations[08441] which ye have committed[06213][8804]; therefore is your land[0776] a desolation[02723], and an astonishment[08047], and a curse[07045], without an inhabitant[03427][8802], as at this day[03117].
48:2 Because[06440][0834] ye have burned incense[06999][8765], and because ye have sinned[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068], and have not obeyed[08085][8804] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068], nor walked[01980][8804] in his law[08451], nor in his statutes[02708], nor in his testimonies[05715]; therefore this evil[07451] is happened[07122][8804] unto you, as at this day[03117].
48:3 Moreover Jeremiah[03414] said[0559][8799] unto all the people[05971], and to all the women[0802], Hear[08085][8798] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], all Judah[03063] that are in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]:
48:4 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], saying[0559][8800]; Ye and your wives[0802] have both spoken[01696][8762] with your mouths[06310], and fulfilled[04390][8765] with your hand[03027], saying[0559][8800], We will surely[06213][8800] perform[06213][8799] our vows[05088] that we have vowed[05087][8804], to burn incense[06999][8763] to the queen[04446] of heaven[08064], and to pour out[05258][8687] drink offerings[05262] unto her: ye will surely[06965][8687] accomplish[06965][8686] your vows[05088], and surely[06213][8800] perform[06213][8799] your vows[05088].
48:5 Therefore hear[08085][8798] ye the word[01697] of the LORD[03068], all Judah[03063] that dwell[03427][8802] in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714]; Behold, I have sworn[07650][8738] by my great[01419] name[08034], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], that my name[08034] shall no more be named[07121][8737] in the mouth[06310] of any man[0376] of Judah[03063] in all the land[0776] of Egypt[04714], saying[0559][8802], The Lord[0136] GOD[03069] liveth[02416].
48:6 Behold, I will watch[08245][8802] over them for evil[07451], and not for good[02896]: and all the men[0376] of Judah[03063] that are in the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] shall be consumed[08552][8804] by the sword[02719] and by the famine[07458], until there be an end[03615][8800] of them.
48:7 Yet a small[04962] number[04557] that escape[06412] the sword[02719] shall return out[07725][8799] of the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] into the land[0776] of Judah[03063], and all the remnant[07611] of Judah[03063], that are gone[0935][8802] into the land[0776] of Egypt[04714] to sojourn[01481][8800] there, shall know[03045][8804] whose words[01697] shall stand[06965][8799], mine, or theirs. mine...: Heb. from me, or, from them
48:8 And this shall be a sign[0226] unto you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], that I will punish[06485][8802] you in this place[04725], that ye may know[03045][8799] that my words[01697] shall surely[06965][8800] stand[06965][8799] against you for evil[07451]:
48:9 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will give[05414][8802] Pharaohhophra[06548] king[04428] of Egypt[04714] into the hand[03027] of his enemies[0341][8802], and into the hand[03027] of them that seek[01245][8764] his life[05315]; as I gave[05414][8804] Zedekiah[06667] king[04428] of Judah[03063] into the hand[03027] of Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894], his enemy[0341][8802], and that sought[01245][8764] his life[05315].
48:10 The word[01697] that Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] spake[01696][8765] unto Baruch[01263] the son[01121] of Neriah[05374], when he had written[03789][8800] these words[01697] in a book[05612] at the mouth[06310] of Jeremiah[03414], in the fourth[07243] year[08141] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800],
48:11 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068], the God[0430] of Israel[03478], unto thee, O Baruch[01263];
48:12 Thou didst say[0559][8804], Woe[0188] is me now! for the LORD[03068] hath added[03254][8804] grief[03015] to my sorrow[04341]; I fainted[03021][8804] in my sighing[0585], and I find[04672][8804] no rest[04496].
48:13 Thus shalt thou say[0559][8799] unto him, The LORD[03068] saith[0559][8804] thus; Behold, that which I have built[01129][8804] will I break down[02040][8802], and that which I have planted[05193][8804] I will pluck up[05428][8802], even this whole land[0776].
48:14 And seekest[01245][8762] thou great things[01419] for thyself? seek[01245][8762] them not: for, behold, I will bring[0935][8688] evil[07451] upon all flesh[01320], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: but thy life[05315] will I give[05414][8804] unto thee for a prey[07998] in all places[04725] whither thou goest[03212][8799].
48:15 The word[01697] of the LORD[03068] which came to Jeremiah[03414] the prophet[05030] against the Gentiles[01471];
48:16 Against Egypt[04714], against the army[02428] of Pharaohnecho[06549] king[04428] of Egypt[04714], which was by the river[05104] Euphrates[06578] in Carchemish[03751], which Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] smote[05221][8689] in the fourth[07243] year[08141] of Jehoiakim[03079] the son[01121] of Josiah[02977] king[04428] of Judah[03063].
48:17 Order[06186][8798] ye the buckler[04043] and shield[06793], and draw near[05066][8798] to battle[04421].
48:18 Harness[0631][8798] the horses[05483]; and get up[05927][8798], ye horsemen[06571], and stand forth[03320][8690] with your helmets[03553]; furbish[04838][8798] the spears[07420], and put on[03847][8798] the brigandines[05630].
48:19 Wherefore have I seen[07200][8804] them dismayed[02844] and turned[05472][8737] away back[0268]? and their mighty ones[01368] are beaten down[03807][8714], and are fled[05127][8804] apace[04498], and look not back[06437][8689]: for fear[04032] was round about[05439], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]. beaten...: Heb. broken in pieces fled...: Heb. fled a flight
48:20 Let not the swift[07031] flee away[05127][8799], nor the mighty man[01368] escape[04422][8735]; they shall stumble[03782][8804], and fall[05307][8804] toward the north[06828] by[03027] the river[05104] Euphrates[06578].
48:21 Who is this that cometh up[05927][8799] as a flood[02975], whose waters[04325] are moved[01607][8691] as the rivers[05104]?
48:22 Egypt[04714] riseth up[05927][8799] like a flood[02975], and his waters[04325] are moved[01607][8704] like the rivers[05104]; and he saith[0559][8799], I will go up[05927][8799], and will cover[03680][8762] the earth[0776]; I will destroy[06][8686] the city[05892] and the inhabitants[03427][8802] thereof.
48:23 Come up[05927][8798], ye horses[05483]; and rage[01984][8703], ye chariots[07393]; and let the mighty men[01368] come forth[03318][8799]; the Ethiopians[03568] and the Libyans[06316], that handle[08610][8802] the shield[04043]; and the Lydians[03866], that handle[08610][8802] and bend[01869][8802] the bow[07198]. the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush the Libyans: Heb. Put
48:24 For this is the day[03117] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of hosts[06635], a day[03117] of vengeance[05360], that he may avenge[05358][8736] him of his adversaries[06862]: and the sword[02719] shall devour[0398][8804], and it shall be satiate[07646][8804] and made drunk[07301][8804] with their blood[01818]: for the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of hosts[06635] hath a sacrifice[02077] in the north[06828] country[0776] by the river[05104] Euphrates[06578].
48:25 Go up[05927][8798] into Gilead[01568], and take[03947][8798] balm[06875], O virgin[01330], the daughter[01323] of Egypt[04714]: in vain[07723] shalt thou use many[07235][8689] medicines[07499]; for thou shalt not be cured[08585]. thou shalt...: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee

51:14 Because ye were glad[08055][8799], because ye rejoiced[05937][8799], O ye destroyers[08154][8802] of mine heritage[05159], because ye are grown fat[06335][8799] as the heifer[05697] at grass[01877][8676][01758][8801], and bellow[06670][8799] as bulls[047]; fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent bellow...: or, neigh as steeds
51:15 Your mother[0517] shall be sore[03966] confounded[0954][8804]; she that bare[03205][8802] you shall be ashamed[02659][8804]: behold, the hindermost[0319] of the nations[01471] shall be a wilderness[04057], a dry land[06723], and a desert[06160].
51:16 Because of the wrath[07110] of the LORD[03068] it shall not be inhabited[03427][8799], but it shall be wholly desolate[08077]: every one that goeth[05674][8802] by Babylon[0894] shall be astonished[08074][8799], and hiss[08319][8799] at all her plagues[04347].
51:17 Put yourselves in array[06186][8798] against Babylon[0894] round about[05439]: all ye that bend[01869][8802] the bow[07198], shoot[03034][8798] at her, spare[02550][8799] no arrows[02671]: for she hath sinned[02398][8804] against the LORD[03068].
51:18 Shout[07321][8685] against her round about[05439]: she hath given[05414][8804] her hand[03027]: her foundations[0803] are fallen[05307][8804], her walls[02346] are thrown down[02040][8738]: for it is the vengeance[05360] of the LORD[03068]: take vengeance[05358][8734] upon her; as she hath done[06213][8804], do[06213][8798] unto her.
51:19 Cut off[03772][8798] the sower[02232][8802] from Babylon[0894], and him that handleth[08610][8802] the sickle[04038] in the time[06256] of harvest[07105]: for fear[06440] of the oppressing[03238][8802] sword[02719] they shall turn[06437][8799] every one[0376] to his people[05971], and they shall flee[05127][8799] every one[0376] to his own land[0776]. sickle; or, scythe
51:20 Israel[03478] is a scattered[06340][8801] sheep[07716]; the lions[0738] have driven him away[05080][8689]: first[07223] the king[04428] of Assyria[0804] hath devoured[0398][8804] him; and last[0314] this Nebuchadrezzar[05019] king[04428] of Babylon[0894] hath broken his bones[06105][8765].
51:21 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], the God[0430] of Israel[03478]; Behold, I will punish[06485][8802] the king[04428] of Babylon[0894] and his land[0776], as I have punished[06485][8804] the king[04428] of Assyria[0804].
51:22 And I will bring[07725][00] Israel[03478] again[07725][8790] to his habitation[05116], and he shall feed[07462][8804] on Carmel[03760] and Bashan[01316], and his soul[05315] shall be satisfied[07646][8799] upon mount[02022] Ephraim[0669] and Gilead[01568].
51:23 In those days[03117], and in that time[06256], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], the iniquity[05771] of Israel[03478] shall be sought for[01245][8792], and there shall be  none; and the sins[02403] of Judah[03063], and they shall not be found[04672][8735]: for I will pardon[05545][8799] them whom I reserve[07604][8686].
51:24 Go up[05927][8798] against the land[0776] of Merathaim[04850], even against it, and against the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Pekod[06489]: waste[02717][8798] and utterly destroy[02763][8687] after[0310] them, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and do[06213][8798] according to all that I have commanded[06680][8765] thee. of Merathaim: or, of the rebels Pekod: or, Visitation
51:25 A sound[06963] of battle[04421] is in the land[0776], and of great[01419] destruction[07667].
51:26 How is the hammer[06360] of the whole earth[0776] cut asunder[01438][8738] and broken[07665][8735]! how is Babylon[0894] become a desolation[08047] among the nations[01471]!
51:27 I have laid a snare[03369][8804] for thee, and thou art also taken[03920][8738], O Babylon[0894], and thou wast not aware[03045][8804]: thou art found[04672][8738], and also caught[08610][8738], because thou hast striven[01624][8694] against the LORD[03068].
51:28 The LORD[03068] hath opened[06605][8804] his armoury[0214], and hath brought forth[03318][8686] the weapons[03627] of his indignation[02195]: for this is the work[04399] of the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of hosts[06635] in the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778].
51:29 Come[0935][8798] against her from the utmost border[07093], open[06605][8798] her storehouses[03965]: cast her up[05549][8798] as heaps[06194], and destroy her utterly[02763][8685]: let nothing of her be left[07611]. from...: Heb. from the end cast...: or, tread her

51:31 The voice[06963] of them that flee[05127][8801] and escape out[06405] of the land[0776] of Babylon[0894], to declare[05046][8687] in Zion[06726] the vengeance[05360] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430], the vengeance[05360] of his temple[01964].
51:32 Call together[08085][8685] the archers[07228] against Babylon[0894]: all ye that bend[01869][8802] the bow[07198], camp[02583][8798] against it round about[05439]; let none thereof escape[06413]: recompense[07999][8761] her according to her work[06467]; according to all that she hath done[06213][8804], do[06213][8798] unto her: for she hath been proud[02102][8804] against the LORD[03068], against the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478].
51:33 Therefore shall her young men[0970] fall[05307][8799] in the streets[07339], and all her men[0582] of war[04421] shall be cut off[01826][8735] in that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
51:34 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud[02087], saith[05002][8803] the Lord[0136] GOD[03069] of hosts[06635]: for thy day[03117] is come[0935][8802], the time[06256] that I will visit[06485][8804] thee. most...: Heb. pride
51:35 And the most proud[02087] shall stumble[03782][8804] and fall[05307][8804], and none shall raise him up[06965][8688]: and I will kindle[03341][8689] a fire[0784] in his cities[05892], and it shall devour[0398][8804] all round about[05439] him. the...: Heb. pride

51:37 Their Redeemer[01350][8802] is strong[02389]; the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is his name[08034]: he shall throughly[07378][8800] plead[07378][8799] their cause[07379], that he may give rest[07280][8689] to the land[0776], and disquiet[07264][8689] the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Babylon[0894].
51:38 A sword[02719] is upon the Chaldeans[03778], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and upon the inhabitants[03427][8802] of Babylon[0894], and upon her princes[08269], and upon her wise[02450] men .

51:41 A drought[02721] is upon her waters[04325]; and they shall be dried up[03001][8804]: for it is the land[0776] of graven images[06456], and they are mad[01984][8704] upon their idols[0367].
51:42 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert[06728] with the wild beasts of the islands[0338] shall dwell[03427][8799] there , and the owls[01323][03284] shall dwell[03427][8804] therein: and it shall be no more inhabited[03427][8799] for ever[05331]; neither shall it be dwelt[07931][8799] in from generation[01755] to generation[01755].
51:43 As God[0430] overthrew[04114] Sodom[05467] and Gomorrah[06017] and the neighbour[07934] cities thereof, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; so shall no man[0376] abide[03427][8799] there, neither shall any son[01121] of man[0120] dwell[01481][8799] therein.
51:44 Behold, a people[05971] shall come[0935][8802] from the north[06828], and a great[01419] nation[01471], and many[07227] kings[04428] shall be raised up[05782][8735] from the coasts[03411] of the earth[0776].
51:45 They shall hold[02388][8686] the bow[07198] and the lance[03591]: they are cruel[0394], and will not shew mercy[07355][8762]: their voice[06963] shall roar[01993][8799] like the sea[03220], and they shall ride[07392][8799] upon horses[05483], every one put in array[06186][8803], like a man[0376] to the battle[04421], against thee, O daughter[01323] of Babylon[0894].
51:46 The king[04428] of Babylon[0894] hath heard[08085][8804] the report[08088] of them, and his hands[03027] waxed feeble[07503][8804]: anguish[06869] took hold[02388][8689] of him, and pangs[02427] as of a woman in travail[03205][8802].
51:47 Behold, he shall come up[05927][8799] like a lion[0738] from the swelling[01347] of Jordan[03383] unto the habitation[05116] of the strong[0386]: but I will make[07323][00] them suddenly[07280][8686] run away[07323][8686][8675][07323][8799] from her: and who is a chosen[0977][8803] man, that I may appoint[06485][8799] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time[03259][8686]? and who is that shepherd[07462][8802] that will stand[05975][8799] before[06440] me? appoint me...: or, convent me to plead?
51:48 Therefore hear[08085][8798] ye the counsel[06098] of the LORD[03068], that he hath taken[03289][8804] against Babylon[0894]; and his purposes[04284], that he hath purposed[02803][8804] against the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778]: Surely the least[06810] of the flock[06629] shall draw them out[05498][8799]: surely he shall make their habitation[05116] desolate[08074][8686] with them.
51:49 At the noise[06963] of the taking[08610][8738] of Babylon[0894] the earth[0776] is moved[07493][8735], and the cry[02201] is heard[08085][8738] among the nations[01471].
51:50 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; Behold, I will raise up[05782][8688] against Babylon[0894], and against them that dwell[03427][8802] in the midst[03820] of them that rise up[06965][8801] against me, a destroying[07843][8688] wind[07307]; midst: Heb. heart

51:52 Against him that bendeth[01869][00] let the archer[01869][8802] bend[01869][8799] his bow[07198], and against him that lifteth himself up[05927][8691] in his brigandine[05630]: and spare[02550][8799] ye not her young men[0970]; destroy ye utterly[02763][8685] all her host[06635].
51:53 Thus the slain[02491] shall fall[05307][8804] in the land[0776] of the Chaldeans[03778], and they that are thrust through[01856][8794] in her streets[02351].
51:54 For Israel[03478] hath not been forsaken[0488], nor Judah[03063] of his God[0430], of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; though their land[0776] was filled[04390][8804] with sin[0817] against the Holy One[06918] of Israel[03478].
51:55 Flee out[05127][8798] of the midst[08432] of Babylon[0894], and deliver[04422][8761] every man[0376] his soul[05315]: be not cut off[01826][8735] in her iniquity[05771]; for this is the time[06256] of the LORD'S[03068] vengeance[05360]; he will render[07999][8764] unto her a recompence[01576].
51:56 Babylon[0894] hath been a golden[02091] cup[03563] in the LORD'S[03068] hand[03027], that made all the earth[0776] drunken[07937][8764]: the nations[01471] have drunken[08354][8804] of her wine[03196]; therefore the nations[01471] are mad[01984][8704].
51:57 Babylon[0894] is suddenly[06597] fallen[05307][8804] and destroyed[07665][8735]: howl[03213][8685] for her; take[03947][8798] balm[06875] for her pain[04341], if so be she may be healed[07495][8735].
51:58 We would have healed[07495][8765] Babylon[0894], but she is not healed[07495][8738]: forsake[05800][8798] her, and let us go[03212][8799] every one[0376] into his own country[0776]: for her judgment[04941] reacheth[05060][8804] unto heaven[08064], and is lifted up[05375][8738] even to the skies[07834].
51:59 The LORD[03068] hath brought forth[03318][8689] our righteousness[06666]: come[0935][8798], and let us declare[05608][8762] in Zion[06726] the work[04639] of the LORD[03068] our God[0430].
51:60 Make bright[01305][8685] the arrows[02671]; gather[04390][8798] the shields[07982]: the LORD[03068] hath raised up[05782][8689] the spirit[07307] of the kings[04428] of the Medes[04074]: for his device[04209] is  against Babylon[0894], to destroy[07843][8687] it; because it is the vengeance[05360] of the LORD[03068], the vengeance[05360] of his temple[01964]. bright: Heb. pure

51:63 The LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] hath sworn[07650][8738] by himself[05315], saying , Surely I will fill[04390][8765] thee with men[0120], as with caterpillers[03218]; and they shall lift up[06030][8804] a shout[01959] against thee. by himself: Heb. by his soul lift up: Heb. utter

52:1 When he uttereth[05414][8800] his voice[06963], there is a multitude[01995] of waters[04325] in the heavens[08064]; and he causeth the vapours[05387] to ascend[05927][8686] from the ends[07097] of the earth[0776]: he maketh[06213][8804] lightnings[01300] with rain[04306], and bringeth forth[03318][8686] the wind[07307] out of his treasures[0214]. multitude: or, noise
52:2 Every man[0120] is brutish[01197][8738] by his knowledge[01847]; every founder[06884][8802] is confounded[03001][8689] by the graven image[06459]: for his molten image[05262] is falsehood[08267], and there is no breath[07307] in them. is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know

52:4 The portion[02506] of Jacob[03290] is not like them; for he is the former[03335][8802] of all things: and Israel is the rod[07626] of his inheritance[05159]: the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] is  his name[08034].
