\par }{\MT Jeremiah

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
words
of
Jeremiah
the
son
of Hilkijah,
of
the
priests
that
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Benjamin:
\VS{2}to
whom
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Amon,
king
of
Judah,
in
the thirteenth
year
of
his
reign;
\VS{3}it
came
also
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah, unto
the
end
of
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah, unto
the carrying
away
of
Jerusalem
captive,
in
the
fifth
month.
\VS{4}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
\VS{5}Before
I
formed thee
in
the
belly
I
knew thee;
and
before thou camest
forth
out
of
the
womb
I hallowed thee,
I
appointed thee
a
prophet unto
the
nations.
\VS{6}And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
behold,
I
cannot
speak;
for
I
am
a
child.
\VS{7}But
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Say
not,
I
am
a
child;
for thou shalt
go
to whomsoever
I
shall
send thee,
and
whatsoever
I
command thee thou shalt
speak.
\VS{8}Be
not
afraid
of
them;
for
I
am
with thee
to
deliver thee, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{9}And
Jehovah
put
forth
his
hand
and
touched
my
mouth;
and
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Behold,
I
have
put
my
words
in thy
mouth.
\VS{10}See,
I
have
this
day
set thee
over
the
nations
and
over
the
kingdoms,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
destroy,
and
to
overthrow,
to
build
and
to
plant.
\VS{11}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Jeremiah,
what seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a
rod
of
an almond-tree.
\VS{12}And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Thou hast
well
seen;
for
I
am watchful
over
my
word
to
perform
it.
\VS{13}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me
the
second
time,
saying,
What seest thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a seething-pot,
and
its
face
is
from
the
north.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Out
of
the
north
shall
evil break forth
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
\VS{15}For
behold,
I
am
calling
all
the
families
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
north, saith
Jehovah,
and
they
shall
come,
and
they
shall
set
every
one
his
throne
at
the
entering
of
the
gates
of
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
walls thereof
round
about,
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah:
\VS{16}and
I
will
pronounce
my
judgments
against
them
for
all
their
wickedness,
in
that
they
have forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense unto
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
and worshipped
the
works
of
their own
hands.
\VS{17}Thou,
therefore,
gird
up thy
loins,
and
arise,
and
speak unto
them
all
that
I
shall
command thee:
be
not
dismayed
at
them,
lest
I cause thee
to
be
dismayed
before
them.
\VS{18}And
I,
behold,
I
appoint thee
this
day
as
a strong
city,
and
an
iron
pillar,
and brazen
walls,
against
the
whole
land;
against
the
kings
of
Judah,
against
its
princes,
against
its
priests,
and
against
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{19}And
they
shall
fight
against thee,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against thee:
for
I
am
with thee, saith
Jehovah,
to
deliver thee.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Go
and
cry
in
the
ears
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
remember
for thee
the
kindness
of thy
youth,
the
love
of thine espousals,
when thou wentest
after
me
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
not
sown.
\VS{3}Israel
was
holiness unto
Jehovah,
the first-fruits
of
his
increase:
all
that
devour
him
are
guilty;
evil
shall
come
upon
them, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{4}Hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
house
of
Jacob,
and
all
the
families
of
the
house
of
Israel.
\VS{5}Thus saith
Jehovah:
What
injustice
have
your
fathers
found
in
me,
that
they
are
gone
far
from
me,
and
have walked
after
vanity,
and become
vain?
\VS{6}And
they
said
not,
Where
is
Jehovah,
that
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
that led
us
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
of
deserts
and
of
pits,
in
a
land
of
drought
and
of
the
shadow
of
death,
in
a
land
that
no
one passeth
through,
and
where
no
man dwelleth?
\VS{7}And
I
brought
you
into
a
fruitful
land,
to
eat
the
fruit thereof
and
the
good thereof;
and ye
entered
and
defiled
my
land,
and
made
my
heritage
an
abomination.
\VS{8}The
priests
said
not,
Where
is
Jehovah?
and
they
that
handled
the
law
knew
me
not;
and
the
shepherds
transgressed
against
me;
and
the
prophets
prophesied
by
Baal,
and
walked
after [things
that] do
not
profit.
\VS{9}Therefore
will
I
yet
plead
with
you, saith
Jehovah,
and
with
your children's
children
will
I
plead.
\VS{10}For
pass
over
to
the
isles
of Chittim,
and
see;
and
send unto
Kedar,
and
consider
diligently,
and
see
if
there
have
been
such
a
thing.
\VS{11}Hath
a
nation
changed [its]
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods?
and
they
are
no
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods; —
but
my
people
have
changed
their
glory
for
that
which doth
not
profit.
\VS{12}Be
astonished, ye
heavens,
at
this,
and shudder;
be amazed
very
much, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{13}For
my
people
have
committed
two evils:
they
have forsaken
me,
the
fountain
of
living
waters,
to
hew
them
out
cisterns,
broken
cisterns
that
hold
no
water.
\VS{14}Is
Israel
a bondman?
Is
he
a home-born [slave]?
Why
is
he
become
a
spoil?
\VS{15}The
young
lions
roared
against
him,
they
gave
forth
their
voice,
and
they
made
his
land
desolate:
his
cities
are
burned,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{16}Even
the
children
of Noph
and Tahapanes
have fed
on
the
crown
of thy
head.
\VS{17}Hast thou
not procured
this unto thyself,
in
that thou hast forsaken
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
at
the
time
he
was leading thee
in
the
way?
\VS{18}And
now,
what hast thou
to
do
with
the
way
of
Egypt,
to
drink
the
waters
of
Shihor?
And
what hast thou
to
do
with
the
way
of
Assyria,
to
drink
the
waters
of
the
River?
\VS{19}Thine own
wickedness chastiseth thee,
and thy backslidings
reprove thee:
know
then
and
see
that
it
is
an
evil
thing
and
bitter
that thou hast forsaken
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
that
my fear
is
not
in thee, saith
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{20}For
of
old thou hast
broken thy
yoke, [and]
burst thy
bands;
and thou saidst,
I
will
not
serve.
For
upon
every
high
hill,
and
under
every
green
tree, thou bowest
down,
playing
the
harlot.
\VS{21}And
I, —
I
had
planted thee
a noble
vine,
wholly
a
right
seed;
how
then art thou
turned
into
the degenerate shoots
of
a strange
vine unto
me?
\VS{22}For
though thou
wash thee
with nitre,
and take thee
much potash, thine
iniquity
is marked
before
me, saith
the
Lord Jehovah.
\VS{23}How sayest thou,
I
am
not
defiled,
I
have
not
gone
after
the
Baals?
See thy
way
in
the
valley,
acknowledge
what thou hast
done —
a
swift dromedary traversing
her
ways!
\VS{24}—
a
wild ass,
used
to
the
wilderness,
that snuffeth
up
the
wind
in
her
desire!
In
her ardour,
who
shall
turn
her
away?
All
they
that
seek
her
will
not
weary
themselves;
in
her
month
they
shall
find
her.
\VS{25}Withhold thy
foot
from being
unshod,
and thy throat
from
thirst.
But thou saidst, There
is
no hope;
no,
for
I
love
strangers,
and
after
them
will
I go.
\VS{26}As
a
thief
is
ashamed
when
he
is
found,
so
shall
the
house
of
Israel
be
ashamed —
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
and
their
priests,
and
their
prophets —
\VS{27}saying
to
a stock, Thou art
my
father;
and
to
a
stone, Thou hast
brought
me
forth;
for
they
have
turned
the
back unto
me,
and
not
the
face;
and
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
they
will
say,
Arise,
and
save
us!
\VS{28}Where
then
are thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods
that thou hast
made
for thyself?
let
them
arise,
if
they
can
save thee
in
the
time
of thy
trouble:
for
as
the
number
of thy
cities,
are thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
O
Judah.
\VS{29}Wherefore
would ye
contend
with
me? Ye
all
have
transgressed
against
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{30}In
vain
have
I
smitten
your
children:
they
received
no
correction.
Your own
sword hath
devoured
your
prophets,
like
a
destroying
lion.
\VS{31}O
generation, mark ye
the
word
of
Jehovah.
Have
I
been
a
wilderness unto
Israel,
or
a
land
of
thick
darkness? Wherefore
say
my
people,
We
have dominion;
we
will
come
no
more unto thee?
\VS{32}Doth
a
virgin
forget
her
ornaments,
a
bride
her
attire?
But
my
people
have
forgotten
me
days
without
number.
\VS{33}How dost thou trim thy
way
to
seek
love!
Therefore hast thou
also accustomed thy
ways
to
wickedness.
\VS{34}Yea,
in thy
skirts
is
found
the
blood
of
the
souls
of
the
innocent
poor,
whom thou didst
not encounter
breaking
in,
but [it
is
found]
upon
all
these.
\VS{35}And thou sayest,
Indeed
I
am
innocent;
his
anger
will
turn
from
me.
Behold,
I
will
enter
into
judgment
with thee
because thou sayest,
I
have
not
sinned.
\VS{36}Why dost thou gad
about
so
much,
and change thy
way? Thou shalt
also
be brought
to
shame
by
Egypt,
as thou wast brought
to
shame
by
Assyria.
\VS{37}Thou shalt
indeed
go
forth
from
her
with thy
hands
upon thy
head;
for
Jehovah hath
rejected
those thou confidest
in,
and thou shalt
not
prosper
by
them.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}They
say,
If
a
man
put
away
his
wife,
and
she
go
from
him,
and
become
another man's,
shall
he
return unto
her
again?
Would
not
that
land
be utterly
polluted?
But thou hast
committed fornication
with
many
lovers;
yet
return
to
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{2}Lift
up thine
eyes unto
the
heights
and
see,
where hast thou
not
been lain
with?
In
the
ways hast thou
sat
for
them,
as
an Arab
in
the
wilderness;
and thou hast
polluted
the
land
with thy fornications
and
with thy
wickedness.
\VS{3}And
the
showers
have
been withholden,
and
there hath
been
no
latter
rain;
but thou hast
a harlot's
forehead, thou refusest
to
be
ashamed.
\VS{4}Wilt thou
not
from
this
time
cry unto
me,
My
father, thou art
the guide
of
my
youth?
\VS{5}Will
he
keep [his anger]
for
ever?
Will
he
preserve
it
perpetually?
Behold, thou hast
spoken
and hast
done
evil things,
and thou art [so] determined.
\VS{6}And
Jehovah
said unto
me
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
king, Hast thou
seen
what backsliding
Israel hath
done?
She hath
gone
up
upon
every
high
mountain
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
there hath
committed fornication.
\VS{7}And
I
said,
After
she hath
done
all
these [things],
she
will
return unto
me;
but
she
returned
not.
And
her
sister
Judah,
the
treacherous,
saw [it].
\VS{8}And
I
saw
that
when
for
all
the
causes
wherein backsliding
Israel
committed
adultery
I
had
put
her
away,
and
given
her
a bill
of
divorce,
yet
the
treacherous
Judah,
her
sister,
feared
not,
but
went
and
committed fornication
also.
\VS{9}And
it
came
to
pass
through
the lightness
of
her fornication
that she
polluted
the
land,
and
committed
adultery
with
stones
and
with stocks.
\VS{10}And
even
for
all
this
her
treacherous
sister
Judah hath
not
returned unto
me
with
her
whole
heart,
but
with
falsehood, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{11}And
Jehovah
said unto
me, Backsliding
Israel hath shewn
herself
more
just than
treacherous
Judah.
\VS{12}Go
and
proclaim
these
words
toward
the
north,
and
say,
Return, thou backsliding
Israel, saith
Jehovah:
I
will
not
make
my
face dark
upon
you;
for
I
am
merciful, saith
Jehovah;
I
will
not
keep [anger]
for
ever.
\VS{13}Only
acknowledge thine
iniquity,
that thou hast
transgressed
against
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and hast turned thy
ways hither
and thither
to
the
strangers
under
every
green
tree;
and ye
have
not hearkened
to
my
voice, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{14}Return, backsliding
children, saith
Jehovah;
for
I
am
a
husband unto
you,
and
I
will
take
you,
one
of
a
city,
and
two
of
a
family,
and
I
will
bring
you
to
Zion.
\VS{15}And
I
will
give
you
shepherds according
to
my
heart,
and
they
shall
feed
you
with
knowledge
and
understanding.
\VS{16}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
are
multiplied
in
the
land
and
become
fruitful,
in
those
days, saith
Jehovah,
they
shall
say
no
more,
Ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah!
neither
shall
it
come
to
mind,
nor
shall
they
remember
it,
nor
shall
they
visit [it];
neither
shall
it
be
done
any
more.
\VS{17}At
that
time
they
shall
call
Jerusalem
the
throne
of
Jehovah;
and
all
the
nations
shall
be
gathered unto
it,
to
the
name
of
Jehovah,
to
Jerusalem;
and
they
shall
no
more walk
after
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart.
\VS{18}In
those
days
the
house
of
Judah
shall walk
with
the
house
of
Israel;
and
they
shall
come
together
out
of
the
land
of
the
north,
to
the
land
which
I
caused
your
fathers
to
inherit.
\VS{19}And
as
for
me,
I
said,
How
shall
I
put thee
among
the
children,
and
give thee
the
pleasant
land,
the goodly
inheritance
of
the
hosts
of
the
nations?
And
I
said, Thou shalt
call
me,
My
father;
and shalt
not
turn
away
from
following
me.
\VS{20}Surely [as]
a
woman
treacherously departeth
from
her
companion,
so
have ye
dealt
treacherously
with
me,
O
house
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{21}A
voice
is
heard
upon
the
heights,
the
weeping
supplications
of
the
children
of
Israel;
for
they
have perverted
their
way,
they
have
forgotten
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{22}—
Return, backsliding
children;
I
will
heal
your backslidings. ...Behold,
we
come unto thee;
for thou art
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:22 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{23}Truly
in
vain [is
salvation looked
for]
from
the
hills, [and]
the
multitude
of
mountains;
truly
in
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
the
salvation
of
Israel.
\VS{24}But
shame hath
devoured
the labour
of
our
fathers
from
our
youth;
their
flocks
and
their
herds,
their
sons
and
their
daughters.
\VS{25}We
lie
down
in
our
shame,
and
our confusion covereth
us;
for
we
have
sinned
against
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
we
and
our
fathers,
from
our
youth
even unto
this
day,
and
have
not hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If thou wilt
return,
O
Israel, saith
Jehovah,
return unto
me;
and
if thou wilt
put
away thine
abominations
out
of
my
sight,
then shalt thou
not
be
a
wanderer;
\VS{2}—
and thou shalt
in
truth,
in
justice,
and
in
righteousness
swear, [As]
Jehovah liveth!
and
the
nations
shall
bless themselves
in
him,
and
in
him
shall
they glory.
\VS{3}For
thus saith
Jehovah
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem:
Break
up
for
you
a fallow ground,
and
sow
not
among
thorns.
\VS{4}Circumcise
yourselves
for
Jehovah,
and
take
away
the
foreskins
of
your
heart, ye
men
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
lest
my
fury
come
forth
like
fire
and
burn,
and
there
be
none
to
quench
it,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings.
\VS{5}Declare ye
in
Judah,
and
cause
it
to
be
heard
in
Jerusalem,
and
say, ...and
blow
the
trumpet
in
the
land,
cry
aloud
and
say,
Assemble yourselves,
and
let
us
enter
into
the fenced
cities.
\VS{6}Set
up
a
banner
toward
Zion;
take
to flight,
stay
not!
For
I
am
bringing
evil
from
the
north,
and
a
great
destruction.

lion
is

up
from
his
thicket,
the
destroyer
of
the
nations
is
on
his way;
he
is
gone
forth
from
his
place,
to
make thy
land
desolate; thy
cities
shall
be
laid
waste,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{8}For
this,
gird
you
with
sackcloth,
lament
and
howl!
for
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah
is
not
turned
away
from
us.
\VS{9}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah,
that
the
heart
of
the
king
shall
perish,
and
the
heart
of
the
princes;
and
the
priests
shall
be
astonished,
and
the
prophets
shall
be
amazed.
\VS{10}And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
surely thou hast greatly deceived
this
people
and
Jerusalem,
saying, Ye
shall
have
peace; whereas
the
sword reacheth unto
the
soul.
\VS{11}At
that
time
shall
it
be
said
to
this
people
and
to
Jerusalem,
A hot
wind [cometh]
from
the
heights
in
the
wilderness,
on
the
way
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
not
for fanning,
nor
for cleansing.
\VS{12}A
wind
more vehement
than
that
shall
come
from
me:
now
will
I
also
pronounce
judgments
against
them.
\VS{13}Behold,
he cometh
up
as
clouds,
and
his
chariots
are
as
a whirlwind;
his
horses
are
swifter
than
eagles.
Woe unto
us!
for
we
are
destroyed.
\VS{14}Wash thy
heart,
Jerusalem,
from
wickedness,
that thou mayest
be
saved.
How
long
shall thy vain
thoughts lodge
within thee?
\VS{15}For
a
voice declareth
from
Dan,
and publisheth
affliction
from
mount
Ephraim.
\VS{16}Inform
the
nations;
behold,
make
Jerusalem
to
hear:
Besiegers
come
from
a
far
country,
and
raise
their
voice
against
the
cities
of
Judah.
\VS{17}As
keepers
of
a
field
are
they
against
her
round
about;
for
she hath
been
rebellious
against
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{18}Thy
way
and thy
doings
have procured
these [things] unto thee;
this
is thy
wickedness,
yea,
it
is
bitter,
yea,
it reacheth unto thy
heart.
\VS{19}My
bowels!
my
bowels!
I am
in travail! [Oh,]
the
walls
of
my
heart!
My
heart maketh
a
noise
in
me;
I
cannot hold
my peace:
for thou hearest,
my
soul,
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
the clamour
of
war.
\VS{20}Destruction
upon
destruction
is
proclaimed;
for
the
whole
land
is wasted:
suddenly
are
my
tents laid
waste,
my
curtains,
in
a
moment.
\VS{21}How
long shall
I
see
the
standard, [and]
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet?
\VS{22}For
my
people
is
foolish,
they
have
not
known
me;
they
are sottish
children,
and
they
have
no intelligence;
they
are
wise
to
do
evil,
but
to
do
good
they
have
no
knowledge.
\VS{23}I beheld
the
earth,
and
lo,
it
was
waste
and
empty;
and
the
heavens,
and
they
had
no
light.
\VS{24}I beheld
the
mountains,
and
lo,
they trembled,
and
all
the
hills
shook violently.
\VS{25}I beheld,
and
lo,
man
was
not,
and
all
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
were
fled.
\VS{26}I beheld,
and
lo,
the
fruitful
land
was
a
wilderness,
and
all
the
cities thereof
were
broken
down,
before
Jehovah,
before
his
fierce
anger.
\VS{27}For
thus saith
Jehovah:
The
whole
land
shall
be
a
desolation;
but
I
will
not
make
a
full
end.
\VS{28}For
this
shall
the
earth
mourn,
and
the
heavens
above
be
black;
because
I
have
spoken
it,
I
have
purposed
it,
and
will
not
repent,
neither
will
I
turn
back therefrom.
\VS{29}At
the
noise
of
the
horsemen
and
bowmen,
every
city fleeth;
they
go
into
the
thickets,
and
climb
up
upon
the
rocks:
every
city
is forsaken
and
no
man dwelleth therein.
\VS{30}—
And thou, wasted
one,
what wilt thou
do?
Though thou clothest thyself
with crimson,
though thou deckest thee
with
ornaments
of
gold,
though thou rendest thine
eyes
with
paint,
in
vain dost thou
make thyself fair: [thy]
lovers
despise thee,
they
seek thy
life.
\VS{31}For
I
hear
a
voice,
as
of
a
woman
in travail,
anguish
as
of
her
that bringeth
forth
her
first
child,
the
voice
of
the
daughter
of
Zion:
she moaneth,
she spreadeth
forth
her
hands, [saying],
Woe unto
me!
for
my
soul faileth
because
of
murderers.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Run ye
to
and fro
through
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
and
see
now,
and
know,
and
seek
in
the broadways thereof,
if ye
can
find
a
man,
if
there
be [any]
that doeth
justice,
that seeketh fidelity;
and
I
will
pardon
it.
\VS{2}And
if
they
say, [As]
Jehovah liveth!
surely
they
swear
falsely.
\VS{3}Jehovah,
are
not thine
eyes upon fidelity? Thou hast
smitten
them,
but
they
are
not sore; thou hast
consumed
them,
they
have
refused
to
receive
correction:
they
have
made
their
faces
harder
than
a
rock;
they
have
refused
to
return.
\VS{4}And
I
said,
Surely
these
are
the wretched

they
are
foolish;
for
they
know
not
the
way
of
Jehovah,

judgment
of
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{5}I
will go unto
the
great
men,
and
will
speak unto
them;
for
they
know
the
way
of
Jehovah,
the
judgment
of
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
but
these
have
altogether
broken
the
yoke,
have
burst
the
bonds.
\VS{6}Therefore
a
lion
out
of
the
forest shall
slay
them,
a
wolf
of
the evenings shall
waste
them;
the
leopard lurketh
against
their
cities,
every
one
that goeth
out thence
is
torn
in
pieces:
for
their
transgressions
are
multiplied,
their backslidings
are
increased.
\VS{7}Wherefore should
I
pardon thee? Thy
children
have forsaken
me,
and
swear
by
them
that
are
not
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
I
have
satiated
them,
and
they
have
committed
adultery,
and
they troop
to
the harlots'
house.
\VS{8}[As] well fed
horses,
they roam
about,
every
one neigheth
after
his neighbour's
wife.
\VS{9}Shall
I
not
visit
for
these

shall
not

be
avenged
on
such
a
nation
as
this?
\VS{10}Go
up upon
her walls,
and
destroy;
but
make
not
a
full
end;
take
away
her battlements,
for
they
are
not Jehovah's.
\VS{11}For
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
have
dealt
very
treacherously against
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{12}They
have
denied
Jehovah,
and
say,
He
is
not;
and
evil
shall
not
come
upon
us,
nor
shall
we
see
sword
nor
famine;
\VS{13}and
the
prophets
shall
become
wind,
and
the word
is
not
in
them:
thus
shall
it
be
done unto
them.
\VS{14}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
hosts:
Because ye
speak
this
word,
behold,
I
will
make
my
words
in thy
mouth
fire,
and
this
people
wood,
and
it
shall
devour
them.
\VS{15}Behold,
I
bring
a
nation
upon
you
from
afar,
house
of
Israel, saith
Jehovah:
it
is
a mighty
nation,
it
is
an
ancient
nation,
a
nation
whose
language thou knowest
not,
neither understandest thou
what
they
say.
\VS{16}Their
quiver
is as an
open sepulchre;
they
are
all
mighty
men.
\VS{17}And
they
shall
eat
up thy
harvest
and thy
bread,
they
shall
eat
up thy
sons
and thy
daughters,
they
shall
eat
up thy
flocks
and thy
herds,
they
shall
eat
up thy
vines
and thy fig-trees;
they
shall
destroy
with
the
sword thy strong
cities,
wherein thou trustedst.
\VS{18}Nevertheless
in
those
days, saith
Jehovah,
I
will
not
make
a
full
end
with
you.
\VS{19}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when ye
shall
say, Wherefore hath
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
done
all
these
things unto
us?
then shalt thou
say
to
them,
As ye
have forsaken
me,
and
served
strange
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods
in
your
land,
so
shall ye
serve
strangers
in
a
land
that
is
not
yours.
\VS{20}Declare
this
in
the
house
of
Jacob,
and publish
it
in
Judah,
saying,
\VS{21}Hear
now
this,
O
foolish
and heartless
people,
who
have
eyes
and
see
not;
who
have
ears,
and
hear
not.
\VS{22}Will ye
not
fear
me? saith
Jehovah.
Will ye
not
tremble
at
my
presence,
who
have
set
the
sand
a bound
for
the
sea
by
a
perpetual
decree,
and
it
shall
not
pass
it?
and
its
waves
toss
themselves,
but
they
do
not
prevail;
and
they
roar,
yet
can
they
not
pass
over
it?
\VS{23}But
this
people hath
a
stubborn
and
a
rebellious
heart;
they
have
turned
aside
and
are
gone.
\VS{24}And
they
say
not
in
their
heart,
Let
us
now
fear
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 5:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
that giveth
rain, both
the
early
and
the
latter,
in
its
season;
who preserveth unto
us
the
appointed
weeks
of
harvest.
\VS{25}Your
iniquities
have
turned
away
these
things,
and
your
sins
have withholden
from
you
what
is
good.
\VS{26}For
among
my
people
are
found
wicked [men]:
they lay
wait,
as
fowlers stoop
down;
they
set
a
trap,
they
catch
men.
\VS{27}As
a
cage
full
of
birds,
so
are
their
houses
full
of
deceit:
therefore
they
are
become
great,
and
have
enriched
themselves.
\VS{28}They
are become
fat,
they shine, yea,
they surpass
in
deeds
of
wickedness;
they
judge
not
the
cause,
the
cause
of
the
fatherless,
and
they
prosper;
and
the
right
of
the
needy do
they
not adjudge.
\VS{29}Shall
I

appalling

is
committed
in

prophets
prophesy
falsehood,
and
the
priests
rule
by
their
means;
and
my
people
love [to
have
it]
so.
But
what
will ye
do
in
the
end thereof?

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Flee
for
safety, ye
children
of
Benjamin,
out
of
the
midst
of
Jerusalem,
and
blow
the
trumpet
in
Tekoa,
and
set
up
a
signal
in
Beth-haccerem;
for
evil appeareth
out
of
the
north,
and
a
great
destruction.
\VS{2}The
comely
and delicate one do I
cut
off,
the
daughter
of
Zion.
\VS{3}Shepherds
with
their
flocks
shall
come unto
her;

shall
pitch [their]
tents
against
her
round
about;
they
shall
feed
every
one
in
his
place.
\VS{4}Prepare
war
against
her.
Arise,
and
let
us
go
up
at
noon.
Woe unto
us!
for
the
day hath
declined,
for
the shadows
of
the
evening
are lengthening.
\VS{5}Arise,
and let
us
go
up
by
night,
and let
us
destroy
her
palaces.
\VS{6}For
thus hath
Jehovah
of
hosts
said: Hew ye
down
trees,
and
cast
a mound
against
Jerusalem.
She
is
the
city
to
be
visited;
she
is
wholly
oppression
in
the
midst
of
her.
\VS{7}As
a
well poureth
forth
her
waters,
so
she poureth
forth
her
wickedness:
violence
and
destruction
are
heard
in
her;
before
me
continually
are
grief
and
wounds.
\VS{8}Be thou
instructed,
Jerusalem,
lest
my
soul
be
alienated
from thee;
lest
I
make thee
a
desolation,
a
land
not
inhabited.
\VS{9}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
They
shall thoroughly glean
like
a
vine
the
remnant
of
Israel:
turn
back thy
hand,
as
a grape-gatherer unto
the baskets.
\VS{10}To
whom
shall
I
speak
and testify,
that
they
may
hear?
Behold,
their
ear
is
uncircumcised,
and
they
cannot hearken:
behold,
the
word
of
Jehovah
is unto
them
a
reproach;
they
have
no
delight
in
it.
\VS{11}And
I
am
full
of
the
fury
of
Jehovah,
I
am
weary
with
holding
in.
Pour
it
out
upon
the
children
in
the
street,
and
upon
the
assembly
of
young
men
together:
for
even
the
husband
with
the
wife
shall
be
taken;
the
aged
with
him [that
is]
full
of
days.
\VS{12}And
their
houses
shall
be
turned unto
others, [their]
fields
and
wives
together;
for
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
the
inhabitants
of
the
land, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{13}For
from
the least
of
them
even unto
the
greatest
of
them,
every
one
is given
to covetousness;
and
from
the
prophet
even unto
the
priest,
every
one dealeth
falsely.
\VS{14}And
they
have
healed
the breach
of
the daughter
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace!
when
there
is
no
peace.
\VS{15}Are
they
ashamed
that
they
have
committed
abomination? Nay,
they
are
not
at
all
ashamed,
neither
know
they
what
it
is
to
blush.
Therefore
they
shall
fall
among
them
that
fall;
at
the
time
that
I
visit
them
they
shall
stumble, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{16}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Stand
in
the
ways
and
see,
and
ask
for
the
ancient
paths,
which
is
the
good
way,
and
walk therein,
and ye
shall
find
rest
for
your
souls.
But
they
said,
We
will
not
walk [therein].
\VS{17}Also
I
have
set
watchmen
over
you: — Hearken ye
to
the
sound
of
the
trumpet.
But
they
said, We
will
not hearken.
\VS{18}Therefore
hear, ye
nations,
and
know,
O
assembly,
what
is among
them.
\VS{19}Hear,
O
earth:
behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
this
people,
the
fruit
of
their
thoughts;
for
they
have
not hearkened unto
my
words,
and
as
to
my
law,
they
have
rejected
it.
\VS{20}To
what
purpose
should
there
come
to
me
incense
from
Sheba,
and
the
sweet
cane
from
a
far
country?
Your burnt-offerings
are
not
acceptable,
nor
are
your
sacrifices
pleasing unto
me.
\VS{21}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
lay stumbling-blocks
before
this
people,
and
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together
shall
fall
over
them;
the neighbour
and
his
friend
shall
perish.
\VS{22}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
a
people cometh
from
the
north
country,
and
a
great
nation
is
stirred
up
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
\VS{23}They lay
hold
on
bow
and
spear;
they
are
cruel,
and
have
no
mercy;
their
voice roareth
like
the
sea;
and
they
ride
upon
horses, set
in
array
as
a
man
for
the
battle,
against thee,
daughter
of
Zion.
\VS{24}We
have
heard
the
report thereof:
our
hands
are grown
feeble;
anguish hath
taken
hold
of
us,
pain
as
of
a woman
that travaileth.
\VS{25}Go
not
forth
into
the
field,
nor
walk
by
the
way;
for [there
is]
the
sword
of
the
enemy,
terror
is
on
every
side.
\VS{26}Daughter
of
my
people,
gird thee
with
sackcloth,
and
roll thyself
in
ashes:
make
mourning, [as]
for
an
only
son —
bitter
lamentation;
for
the spoiler cometh
suddenly
upon
us.
\VS{27}I
have
set thee among
my
people
as
an assayer,
a
fortress,
that thou mayest
know
and
try
their
way.
\VS{28}They
are
all
the most
rebellious
of
rebels,
going
about
with slander:

falsehood
that cannot
profit.
\VS{9}What?
steal,
murder,
and
commit
adultery,
and
swear
falsely,
and
burn
incense unto
Baal,
and
walk
after
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods
whom ye
know
not...
\VS{10}then ye
come
and
stand
before
me,
in
this
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
and
say,
We
are
delivered, —
in
order
to
do
all
these
abominations!
\VS{11}Is
this
house,
which
is
called
by
my
name,
a
den
of
robbers
in
your
eyes?
Even
I,
behold,
I
have
seen
it, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{12}For
go
now unto
my
place
which
was
in
Shiloh,
where
I
caused
my
name
to
dwell
at
the
first,
and
see
what
I
did
to
it,
for
the
wickedness
of
my
people
Israel.
\VS{13}And
now,
because ye
have
done
all
these
works, saith
Jehovah,
and
I
spoke unto
you,
rising
up
early
and
speaking,
and ye
heard
not,
and
I
called
you,
and ye
answered
not;
\VS{14}I
will
even
do unto
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
wherein ye
trust,
and unto
the
place
which
I
gave
to
you
and
to
your
fathers,
as
I
have
done
to
Shiloh;
\VS{15}and
I
will
cast
you
out
of
my
sight,
as
I
have
cast
out
all
your
brethren,
all
the
seed
of
Ephraim.
\VS{16}And thou,
pray
not
for
this
people,
neither
lift
up
cry
nor
prayer
for
them,
and
make
not intercession
to
me;
for
I
will
not
hear thee.
\VS{17}Seest thou
not
what
they
do
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem?
\VS{18}The
children
gather
wood,
and
the
fathers
kindle
the
fire,
and
the
women
knead
dough,
to
make
cakes
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings unto
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
that
they
may
provoke
me
to
anger.
\VS{19}Is
it
I whom
they
provoke
to
anger? saith
Jehovah;
is
it
not
themselves,
to
the
shame
of
their
own
face?
\VS{20}Therefore
thus saith
the
Lord Jehovah:
Behold, mine
anger
and
my
fury
shall
be
poured
out
upon
this
place;
upon
man,
and
upon
beast,
and
upon
the
trees
of
the
field,
and
upon
the
fruit
of
the
ground;
and
it
shall
burn,
and
shall
not
be
quenched.
\VS{21}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Add
your burnt-offerings
to
your
sacrifices,
and
eat
the
flesh.
\VS{22}For
I
spoke
not unto
your
fathers,
nor
commanded
them
concerning burnt-offerings
and
sacrifices,
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
\VS{23}but
I
commanded
them
this
thing,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice,
and
I
will
be
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and ye
shall
be
my
people;
and
walk
in
all
the
way
that
I
command
you,
that
it
may
be
well
with
you.
\VS{24}But
they hearkened
not,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but walked
in
the
counsels,
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart,
and
went
backward
and
not
forward.
\VS{25}Since
the
day
that
your
fathers
came
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, unto
this
day,
have
I
sent unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
daily
rising
up
early
and
sending
them;
\VS{26}but
they
have
not hearkened unto
me,
nor
inclined
their
ear;
and
they
have
hardened
their
neck:
they
have done worse
than
their
fathers.
\VS{27}And thou shalt
speak
all
these
words unto
them,
but
they
will
not hearken unto thee;
and thou shalt
call unto
them,
but
they
will
not
answer thee.
\VS{28}And thou shalt
say unto
them,
This
is
the
nation
which hath
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 7:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
nor
received
correction; fidelity
is
perished,
and
is
cut
off
from
their
mouth.
\VS{29}Cut
off thy
hair,
and
cast
it
away,
and
take
up
a
lamentation
on
the
heights;
for
Jehovah hath
rejected
and
forsaken
the
generation
of
his
wrath.
\VS{30}For
the
children
of
Judah
have
done
evil
in
my
sight, saith
Jehovah;
they
have
set
their
abominations
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
to
defile
it.
\VS{31}And
they
have
built
the
high
places
of
Topheth,
which
is
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
to
burn
their
sons
and
their
daughters
in
the
fire;
which
I
commanded
not,
neither
did
it
come
up
into
my
mind.
\VS{32}Therefore,
behold,
days
are
coming, saith
Jehovah,
when
it
shall
no
more
be
said,
Topheth,
and
Valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
but
the
valley
of
slaughter;
for
they
shall
bury
in
Topheth, till
there
be
no
place.
\VS{33}And
the carcases
of
this
people
shall
be
food
for
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth;
and
none
shall scare [them]
away.
\VS{34}And
I
will
cause
to
cease
from
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
from
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride;
for
the
land
shall
become
a
waste.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
they
shall
bring
forth
the
bones
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
bones
of
his
princes,
and
the
bones
of
the
priests,
and
the
bones
of
the
prophets,
and
the
bones
of
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
out
of
their
graves;
\VS{2}and
they
shall
spread
them
out
to
the
sun
and
to
the
moon
and
to
all
the
host
of
the
heavens,
which
they
have
loved,
and
which
they
have
served,
and
after
which
they
have
walked,
and
which
they
have
sought,
and
which
they
have worshipped:
they
shall
not
be
gathered,
nor
be
buried;
they
shall
be
for
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
ground.
\VS{3}And
death
shall
be
chosen
rather
than
life
by
all
the residue
that
remain
of
this
evil
family,
in
all
the
places whither
I
have
driven
those
that
remain, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{4}And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Do [men]
fall,
and
not
rise
up? Doth
one
turn
away,
and
not
return?
\VS{5}Why hath
this
people
of
Jerusalem slidden
back
with
a perpetual backsliding?
They
hold
fast deceit,
they
refuse
to
return.
\VS{6}I hearkened
and
heard:
they
speak
not
what
is
right;
there
is
no
man
who repenteth
him
of
his
wickedness,
saying,
What
have
I
done?
Every
one turneth
to
his
course,
like
a
horse rushing
into
the
battle.
\VS{7}Even
a
stork
in
the
heavens knoweth
her
appointed
times,
and
the turtle-dove
and
the
swallow
and
the
crane
observe
the
time
of
their
coming;
but
my
people
know
not
the
judgment
of
Jehovah.
\VS{8}How
do ye
say,
We
are
wise,
and
the
law
of
Jehovah
is
with
us?
Behold,
certainly
the
lying
pen
of
the
scribes hath
made
it
falsehood.
\VS{9}The
wise
men
are
ashamed,
they
are
dismayed
and
taken:
behold,
they
have
rejected Jehovah's
word;
and
what
wisdom
is
in
them?
\VS{10}Therefore
will
I
give
their
wives unto
others,
their
fields
to
those
that
shall
possess [them];
for
every
one,
from
the least
even unto
the
greatest,
is
given
to covetousness;
from
the
prophet
even unto
the
priest,
every
one dealeth
falsely.
\VS{11}And
they
have
healed
the breach
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace!
when
there
is
no
peace.
\VS{12}Are
they
ashamed
that
they
have
committed
abomination? Nay,
they
are
not
at
all
ashamed,
and
they
know
not
how
to
blush.
Therefore
shall
they
fall
among
them
that
fall:
in
the
time
of
their visitation
they
shall
stumble, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{13}I
will utterly
take
them
away, saith
Jehovah:
there
are
no
grapes
on
the
vine,
nor
figs
on
the fig-tree;
and
the
leaf
is faded:
and
I
will
give
them
up
to
those
that
shall
pass
over
them.
\VS{14}Why
do
we
sit
still?
Assemble
yourselves,
and let
us
enter
into
the fenced
cities,
and let
us
be silent
there:
for
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 8:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God hath
put
us
to silence,
and
given
us
water
of
gall
to
drink,
because
we
have
sinned
against
Jehovah.
\VS{15}Peace
is
looked
for,
and
there
is
no
good;
a
time
of
healing,
and
behold,
terror.
\VS{16}The snorting
of
his
horses
is
heard
from
Dan:
the
whole
land trembleth
at
the
sound
of
the
neighing
of
his
steeds,
and
they
come,
and
devour
the
land,
and
all
it
contains,
the
city
and
those
that
dwell therein.
\VS{17}For
behold,
I
send among
you
serpents, vipers
against
which
there
is
no
charm,
and
they
shall bite
you, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{18}My comfort
in
my sadness!
my
heart
is
faint
in
me!
\VS{19}Behold
the
voice
of
the
cry
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
from
a very
far
country:
Is
not
Jehovah
in
Zion?
Is
not
her
king
in
her?
Why
have
they
provoked
me
to
anger
with
their
graven
images,
with
foreign
vanities?
\VS{20}The
harvest
is past,
the
summer
is
ended,
and
we
are
not
saved.
\VS{21}—
For
the breach
of
the
daughter
of
my
people am
I
crushed;
I go
mourning; astonishment hath
taken
hold
of
me.
\VS{22}Is
there
no
balm
in
Gilead?
is
there
no
physician
there?
Why
then
is
there
no dressing applied
for
the
healing
of
the
daughter
of
my
people?

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Oh
that
my head
were waters,
and mine eye
a fountain
of tears,
that
I might weep day
and night
for
the slain
of
the daughter
of
my
people!
\VS{2}Oh
that
I
had
in
the wilderness
a traveller's lodging-place,
that
I
might
leave
my
people,
and
go
away
from
them!
For
they
are
all adulterers,
an assembly
of treacherous men.
\VS{3}And
they bend
their tongue,
their bow
of falsehood,
and
not
for fidelity
are
they valiant
in
the land;
for
they
proceed
from evil
to evil,
and
they know
not
me, saith Jehovah.
\VS{4}Take ye heed
every
one
of
his
friend,
and confide
not
in
any brother;
for
every brother only supplanteth,
and
every
friend goeth
about
with slander.
\VS{5}And
they act
deceitfully every
one
with
his neighbour,
and speak
not
the truth:
they
teach
their tongue
to speak falsehood,
they weary themselves
with perverse dealing.
\VS{6}Thy habitation
is
in
the midst
of deceit;
through deceit
they refuse
to know
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{7}Therefore thus saith Jehovah
of hosts: Behold,
I
will melt
them,
and try
them;
for
how
else could
I do
for
the daughter
of
my
people?
\VS{8}Their tongue
is
a murderous arrow;
it speaketh deceit. [A
man] speaketh peaceably
to
his neighbour
with
his
mouth,
but
in
his
heart
he layeth
his ambush.
\VS{9}Shall
I
not visit
them
for these [things]? saith Jehovah;
shall
not
my soul
be avenged
on
such
a nation
as
this?
\VS{10}For
the mountains
will
I
take
up weeping
and wailing,
and
for
the pastures
of
the wilderness,
a lamentation;
for
they
are burnt
up,
so
that none passeth through
them;
and
the voice
of
the cattle
is not heard. Both
the fowl
of
the heavens
and
the beasts
are fled;
they
are gone.
\VS{11}And
I
will
make Jerusalem heaps,
a dwelling-place
of jackals;
and
I
will
make
the cities
of Judah
a desolation,
without inhabitant.
\VS{12}Who
is
a wise man,
that
he
may
understand
this?
and
he
to
whom
the
mouth
of
Jehovah hath
spoken,
that
he
may declare
it?
Why
is
the
land perished, burnt
up
like
a wilderness,
so
that
none passeth
through?
\VS{13}And Jehovah saith,
Because
they
have forsaken
my law
which
I
set before
them,
and
have not hearkened unto
my voice, nor walked
in
it,
\VS{14}but
have walked after
the stubbornness
of
their own heart,
and after
the Baals,
as
their fathers taught
them;
\VS{15}therefore
thus saith Jehovah
of hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 9:15 }
Elohim}God
of Israel,
Behold,
I
will
feed
this
people
with wormwood,
and give
them water
of gall
to drink,
\VS{16}and
will scatter
them
among
the nations,
whom neither
they
nor
their fathers
have known;
and
I
will
send
the sword
after
them, till
I
have consumed
them.
\VS{17}Thus saith Jehovah
of hosts:
Consider,
and call
for
the mourning women,
that
they
may
come,
and send
for
the skilful women,
that
they
may
come;
\VS{18}and let
them
make haste,
and take
up
a
wailing
for
us,
that
our eyes
may run
down
with tears,
and
our eyelids pour
forth waters.
\VS{19}For
a voice
of
wailing
is
heard out
of Zion,
How
are
we spoiled, sorely
put
to shame!
For
we
have forsaken
the land,
for
they
have cast
down
our dwellings.
\VS{20}Hear
then
the word
of Jehovah, ye women,
and let
your ear receive
the word
of
his mouth,
and teach
your daughters wailing,
and each
one
her companion lamentation.
\VS{21}For
death
is
come
up
through
our windows,
is entered
into
our palaces,
to cut
off
the children
from
the street,
the young
men
from
the broadways.
\VS{22}Speak,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Yea,
the carcases
of
men
shall fall
as dung upon
the open field,
and
as
the handful after
the reaper,
and
there
shall
be
none
to gather.
\VS{23}Thus saith
Jehovah: Let
not
the
wise glory
in
his wisdom,
neither let
the mighty glory
in
his
might; let
not
the rich glory
in
his riches:
\VS{24}but
let
him
that glorieth glory
in
this,
that
he understandeth
and knoweth
me,
that
I [am]

who exercise loving-kindness,
judgment,
and righteousness
in
the earth;
for
in
these
things
I delight, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{25}Behold, days
are coming, saith Jehovah,
when
I
will visit
all [them
that
are] circumcised
with
the
uncircumcised;
\VS{26}Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off, that dwell in the wilderness: for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.

nations,
and
be
not
dismayed
at
the
signs
of
the
heavens;
for
the
nations
are
dismayed
at

\VS{3}For
the
statutes

are
vanity;
for [it

a
tree
cut
out
of
the
forest, worked
with
a chisel
by
the
hands

the artizan;
\VS{4}they deck
it
with
silver
and
with
gold;
they
fasten
it
with
nails
and
with
hammers,
that
it move
not.
\VS{5}They
are
as
a palm-column
of turned
work,
and
they
speak
not;
they
are
carried,
for
they
cannot
go.
Be
not
afraid
of

for
they
cannot
do
evil,
neither
also
is

in
them
to
do
good.
\VS{6}There
is
none
like unto thee,
Jehovah; thou art
great,
and thy
name
is
great
in
might.
\VS{7}Who
would
not
fear thee,
O
King
of
nations?
For
to thee doth
it appertain;
for
among
all
the
wise
men
of
the
nations,
and
in
all
their
kingdoms,
there
is
none
like unto thee.

foolish;

not
made

earth
by
his
power,
he hath
established
the
world
by
his
wisdom,
and hath
stretched
out
the
heavens
by
his
understanding.
\VS{13}When
he uttereth
his
voice,
there
is
a
tumult
of
waters
in
the
heavens,

he causeth
the vapours

ascend
from
the
end

earth;
he maketh
lightnings
for

and bringeth
forth

wind
out
of
his
treasuries.

man
is
become brutish, bereft
of
knowledge;
every founder
is put
to shame
by

in
them.
\VS{15}They
are
vanity,
a
work
of
delusion:
in
the
time
of
their visitation
they
shall
perish.
\VS{16}The
portion
of
Jacob
is
not
like
them;
for
it
is
he
that hath
formed
all [things],
and
Israel
is
the
rod
of
his
inheritance:
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name.
\VS{17}Gather
up thy baggage
out
of
the
land, O inhabitress
of
the
fortress.
\VS{18}For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
this
time sling
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
and
will distress
them,
that
they
may
be
found.
\VS{19}Woe
is
me,
for
my
wound!
My stroke
is hard
to heal,
and
I had
said, Yea,
this
is [my]
grief,
and
I
will
bear
it.
\VS{20}My
tent
is despoiled,
and
all
my
cords
are
broken;
my
children
are
gone
forth
from
me,
and
they
are
not;
there
is
none
to
stretch
forth
my
tent
any
more,
and
to
set
up
my
curtains.
\VS{21}For
the
shepherds
are become brutish,
and
have
not
sought
Jehovah;
therefore
have
they
not acted wisely,
and
all
their
flock
is
scattered.
\VS{22}The
voice
of
a rumour!
Behold,
it cometh,
and
a
great
commotion
out
of
the
north
country,
to
make
the
cities
of
Judah
a
desolation,
a dwelling-place
of
jackals.
\VS{23}I
know,
Jehovah,
that
the
way
of
man
is
not
his
own;
it
is
not
in
a
man
that walketh
to
direct
his
steps.
\VS{24}Jehovah,
correct
me,
but
with
judgment;
not
in thine
anger,
lest thou
bring
me
to
nothing.
\VS{25}Pour
out thy
fury
upon
the
nations
that
know thee
not,
and
upon
the
families
that
call
not
on thy
name;
for
they
have
eaten
up
Jacob,
yea,
they
have
eaten
him
up
and
consumed
him,
and
have
laid
waste
his dwelling-place.

word
that
came
to

from

saying,
\VS{2}Hear ye

of
Judah,
and
to

of

Thus saith

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Cursed
be
the
man
that obeyeth
not
the
words
of
this

\VS{4}which
I
commanded
your
fathers
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
iron
furnace,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice
and
do
them, according
to
all
that
I
command
you;
so

\VS{5}that
I
may perform
the
oath
that
I
have
sworn unto
your
fathers,
to
give
them
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
as
it
is
this
day.
And
I
answered
and
said,
Amen,
Jehovah!
\VS{6}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Proclaim
all
these
words
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
saying:
Hear
the
words
of
this
covenant,
and
do
them.
\VS{7}For
I earnestly protested unto
your
fathers,
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt, unto
this
day,
rising
early
and protesting,
saying, Hearken unto
my
voice.
\VS{8}But
they
have
not hearkened,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but
have walked
every
one
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart;
and
I
have
brought
upon
them
all
the
words
of
this
covenant,
which
I
commanded [them]
to
do,
and
they
have
not
done.
\VS{9}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
A
conspiracy
is
found
among
the
men
of
Judah,
and
among
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{10}They
are
turned
back
to
the
iniquities
of
their
forefathers,
who
refused
to
hear
my
words;
and
they
have
gone
after
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods
to
serve
them.
The
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
have
broken
my
covenant
which
I
made
with
their
fathers.
\VS{11}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them,
from
which
they
shall
not
be
able
to
escape;
and
they
will
cry unto
me,
and
I
will
not hearken unto
them.
\VS{12}Then
shall
the
cities
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
go
and
cry unto
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods unto
whom
they
have
burned
incense;
but
they
shall
not
save
them
at all
in
the
time
of
their
trouble.

of thy

are thy

O
Judah;
and [as]

of
the

have ye
set
up
altars
to
the
Shame,
altars
to
burn
incense unto
Baal.
\VS{14}And thou,
pray
not
for
this

neither
lift
up

nor

for

I

not

my

to
do
in
my
house,
seeing
that
the
more
part practise
their
evil
devices,
and
the
holy
flesh
is
passed
from thee?
When thou doest
evil,
then thou rejoicest.
\VS{16}Jehovah
had
called thy
name,
A
green olive-tree,
fair,
of goodly
fruit:
with
the
noise
of
a
great
tumult
he hath
kindled
fire
upon
it,
and
its
branches
are broken.
\VS{17}For
Jehovah
of
hosts,
that
planted thee, hath
pronounced
evil
against thee,
for
the
evil
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
of
the
house
of
Judah,
which
they
have
done
for
themselves,
to
provoke
me
to
anger
in
burning
incense unto
Baal.
\VS{18}And
Jehovah hath given
me
knowledge,
and
I
know [it];
then thou shewedst
me
their
doings.
\VS{19}And
I
was
like
a tame
lamb [that]
is
led
to
the
slaughter;
and
I
knew
not
that
they
devised devices
against
me, [saying,]
Let
us
destroy
the
tree
with
the
fruit thereof,
and
let
us
cut
him
off
from
the
land
of
the
living,
that
his
name
may
be
no
more
remembered.
\VS{20}But thou,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
who judgest
righteously,
who triest
the reins
and
the
heart,
let
me
see thy
vengeance
on
them:
for unto thee
have
I
revealed
my
cause.
\VS{21}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
men
of
Anathoth,
that
seek thy
life,
saying,
Prophesy
not
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
that thou
die
not
by
our
hand,
\VS{22}—
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
punish
them:
the
young
men
shall
die
by
the
sword;
their
sons
and
their
daughters
shall
die
by
famine;
\VS{23}and
there
shall
be
no
remnant
of
them;
for
I
will
bring
evil
upon
the
men
of
Anathoth,
in
the
year
of
their visitation.

Jehovah,
when
I
plead
with thee;

I

with thee
of [thy]
judgments. Wherefore doth
the

of
the
wicked
prosper? [wherefore]
are
all
they
at
ease
that
deal
very
treacherously?
\VS{2}Thou hast
planted
them,

also
have
taken
root:
they advance, yea,
they bring forth
fruit: thou art
near
in
their
mouth,
but
far
from
their reins.
\VS{3}But thou,
Jehovah, knowest
me; thou hast
seen
me,
and
proved

Drag

out

wearied thee,
how wilt thou
then contend

do
in

have
dealt
treacherously
with thee,
even
they
have
cried
aloud
after thee.
Believe
them
not,

they
speak
good [words] unto thee.

have
forsaken
my

have
cast
off

my
soul
into

is
become unto
me
as

in

raised
its
voice
against
me:
therefore
have
I
hated
it.

is unto
me [as]
a
speckled

of
prey

have
destroyed

have
made
it
a
desolation;
desolate,
it mourneth unto
me:

is
made
desolate,
for
no

it

of
Jehovah devoureth
from

peace.

have
sown
wheat,

reap
thorns;
they
have
put themselves
to pain, [and] do
not
profit.

therefore
ashamed

it
shall
come

Go

not

water.
\VS{2}And
I
bought

pride
of

\VS{10}Thus saith
Jehovah
to
this
people:
Even
so
have
they
loved
to
wander,
they
have
not refrained
their
feet;
and
Jehovah hath
no
delight
in
them:
now
will
he
remember
their
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins.
\VS{11}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Pray
not
for
this
people
for
their
good.
\VS{12}When
they
fast,
I
will
not
hear
their
cry;
and
when
they
offer
up burnt-offering
and oblation,
I
will
not
accept
them:
for
I
will
consume
them
by
sword,
and
by
famine,
and
by
pestilence.
\VS{13}And
I
said,
Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
Behold,
the
prophets
say unto
them, Ye
shall
not
see
the
sword,
neither
shall ye
have
famine;
for
I
will
give
you assured
peace
in
this
place.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
The
prophets
prophesy
falsehood
in
my
name;
I
have
not
sent
them,
neither
have
I
commanded
them,
nor
spoken unto
them:
they
prophesy unto
you
a
false
vision,
and
divination,
and
a thing
of nought,
and
the
deceit
of
their
heart.
\VS{15}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
prophets
that
prophesy
in
my
name,
and
I
sent
them
not,
and
who
say,
Sword
and
famine
shall
not
be
in
this
land:
By
sword
and
by
famine
shall
those
prophets
be
consumed;
\VS{16}and
the
people
to
whom
they
prophesy
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
because
of
the
famine
and
the
sword;
and
there
shall
be
none
to
bury
them,
them,
their
wives,
and
their
sons,
and
their
daughters;
and
I
will
pour
their
wickedness
upon
them.
\VS{17}And thou shalt
say
this
word unto
them:
Let mine
eyes
run
down
with
tears,
night
and
day,
and
not
cease;
for
the
virgin
daughter
of
my
people
is
broken
with
a
great breach,
with
a
very grievous
blow.
\VS{18}If
I
go
forth
into
the
field,
behold
the
slain
with
the
sword!
and
if
I
enter
into
the
city,
behold
them
that pine
away
with
famine!
For
both
prophet
and
priest
shall
go
about
into
a
land
that
they
know
not.
\VS{19}— Hast thou
then utterly
rejected
Judah? Doth thy
soul loathe
Zion?
Why hast thou
smitten
us,
and
there
is
no
healing
for
us?
Peace
is
looked
for,
and
there
is
no
good, —
and
a
time
of
healing,
and
behold
terror!
\VS{20}Jehovah,
we
acknowledge
our
wickedness,
the
iniquity
of
our
fathers;
for
we
have
sinned
against thee.
\VS{21}For thy name's
sake,
do
not
spurn [us],
do
not disgrace
the
throne
of thy
glory:
remember,
break
not thy
covenant
with
us.
\VS{22}Are
there
any
among
the
vanities
of
the
nations
that
can
cause
rain?
or
can
the
heavens
give
showers? Art
not thou
HE,
Jehovah,
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:22 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God?
And
we
wait upon thee;
for thou hast
made
all
these
things.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Jehovah
said unto
me,
Though
Moses
and
Samuel
stood
before
me,
my
soul [would]
not [turn]
toward
this
people.
Send [them]
out
of
my
sight,
and
let
them
go
forth.
\VS{2}And
it
shall
come
to

if
they
say unto thee, Whither
shall
we
go
forth?
then thou shalt
tell
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Such

to

and
such

to
the
sword;
and
such
as

to
the
famine;
and
such
as
are
for

to
captivity.
\VS{3}For
I
will
visit
them
with
four
kinds [of punishments], saith
Jehovah:
the
sword
to
slay,
and
dogs
to tear,
and
the
fowl
of
the
heavens,
and
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
to
devour
and
to
destroy.
\VS{4}And
I
will
give
them
over
to
be driven hither
and thither amongst
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
because
of
Manasseh
the
son
of
Hezekiah,
king
of
Judah,
for
that
which
he
did
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}For
who
shall
have
pity
upon thee,
Jerusalem?
and
who
shall bemoan thee?
and
who
shall
turn
aside
to
ask
after thy
welfare?
\VS{6}Thou hast
cast
me
off, saith
Jehovah, thou art gone
backward;
and
I
have
stretched
out
my
hand
against thee,
and
will
destroy thee:
I
am
become
weary
of repenting.
\VS{7}And
I
will fan
them
with
a fan
in
the
gates
of
the
land;
I
will
bereave
of
children [and]
destroy
my
people:
they
have
not
returned
from
their
ways.
\VS{8}Their
widows
are increased
to
me
more
than
the
sand
of
the
seas;
I
have
brought
upon
them,
against
the
mother
of
the
young
men,
a spoiler
at noonday;
I
have caused anguish
and
terror
to
fall
upon
her
suddenly.
\VS{9}She
that hath
borne
seven languisheth,
she hath
given
up
the ghost;
her
sun
is
gone
down
while
it
is
yet
day;
she
is
put
to
shame
and
confounded.
And
the residue
of
them
will
I
give
up
to
the
sword
before
their
enemies, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{10}Woe
is
me,
my
mother,
that thou hast
borne
me
a
man
of
strife
and
a
man
of
contention
to
the
whole
land!
I
have
not
lent
on usury,
nor
have
they
lent
to
me
on usury; [yet]
every
one
of
them doth
curse
me.
\VS{11}Jehovah
said, Verily
I
will set thee free
for [thy]
good; verily
I
will cause
the
enemy
to
meet thee
kindly
in
the
time
of
evil
and
in
the
time
of affliction.
\VS{12}Will
iron break?
iron from
the
north?
and
bronze?
\VS{13}Thy
substance
and thy
treasures
will
I
give
to
the
spoil
without
price,
and
that
for
all thy
sins,
and
in
all thy
borders;

I
will
make [them]
to
pass
with thine
enemies
into
a
land
that thou knowest
not:
for
a
fire
is
kindled
in mine
anger;
it
shall
burn
upon
you.
\VS{15}Jehovah, thou knowest:
remember
me,
and
visit
me,
and
avenge
me
of
my
persecutors;
in thy long-suffering
take
me
not
away:
know
that
for thy
sake
I
bear
reproach.
\VS{16}Thy
words
were
found,
and
I did
eat
them,
and thy
words
were unto
me
the

I
am
called
by thy

O
Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 15:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
hosts.
\VS{17}I
sat
not
in
the
assembly
of
the mockers,
nor exulted:
I
sat
alone
because
of thy
hand;
for thou hast
filled
me
with
indignation.
\VS{18}Why
is
my
pain
perpetual,
and
my
wound
incurable?
It refuseth
to
be
healed. Wilt thou
be altogether unto
me
as
a treacherous [spring], [as]
waters
that
fail?
\VS{19}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
If thou
return,
then
will
I
bring thee
again, thou shalt
stand
before
me;
and
if thou
take
forth
the
precious
from
the vile, thou shalt
be
as
my
mouth.
Let
them
return unto thee;
but
return
not thou unto
them.
\VS{20}And
I
will
make thee unto
this
people
a strong brazen
wall;
and
they
shall
fight
against thee,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against thee:
for
I
am
with thee,
to
save thee
and
to
deliver thee, saith
Jehovah;
\VS{21}yea,
I
will
deliver thee
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked,
and
I
will
redeem thee
out
of
the

of
the
terrible.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Thou shalt
not
take thee
a
wife,
and thou shalt
not
have
sons
nor
daughters
in
this

\VS{3}For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning

and
concerning
the
daughters
that
are
born
in
this
place,
and
concerning
their
mothers
that
bear
them,
and

be
as

Enter
not

neither
go

lament

taken
away

great

shall
die
in

not

none
shall
lament
for
them,

themselves
bald
for

for
the
dead;
neither
shall
they
give
them
the
cup

not
go
into

of

is

have
committed
against

\VS{11}then shalt thou
say unto

Because

have forsaken
me, saith
Jehovah,
and
have walked
after
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 16:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
and
have
served
them,
and
have worshipped
them,
and
have forsaken
me,
and
have
not
kept
my
law;
\VS{12}and
you, ye
have
done still
worse
than
your
fathers;
and there ye
are
walking
every
one
after
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart,
not
to hearken unto
me:

I
will
cast
you
forth
out

I
will shew
you
no favour.

are
coming, saith
Jehovah,

be
said, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
the

of
Israel
out
of
the

brought
up

had
driven

again
into

I
gave unto

send

fish
them;

for
many hunters,

shall
hunt
them,
from

hidden
from
before mine

first
I
will recompense
their
iniquity

double,

have
profaned

with
the carcases

detestable

have
they
filled mine

come
from

around
Jerusalem,
and
from
the
land
of
Benjamin,

from

and
from

bringing burnt-offerings,

and
bringing

to hallow
the
sabbath
day
and
not
to
bear
a

and
enter
in
through

on

then
will
I
kindle
a

shall

quenched.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
\VS{2}Arise
and
go
down
to
the potter's
house,
and
there
I
will
cause thee
to
hear
my
words.
\VS{3}And
I
went
down
to
the potter's
house;
and
behold,
he wrought
a
work
on
the wheels.
\VS{4}And
the
vessel
that
he
made
was marred,
as clay,
in
the
hand
of
the
potter;
and
he
made
it
again
another
vessel,
as
seemed
good
to
the
potter
to
make.
\VS{5}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{6}House
of
Israel,
cannot
I
do
with
you
as
this
potter? saith
Jehovah.
Behold,
as
the clay
in
the potter's
hand,
so
are ye
in
my
hand,
house
of
Israel.
\VS{7}At
the
moment
that
I
speak
concerning
a
nation
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
destroy,
\VS{8}if
that
nation,
concerning
which
I
have
spoken,
turn
from
their
evil,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
evil
that
I
thought
to
do unto
them.
\VS{9}And
at
the
moment
that
I
speak
concerning
a
nation
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
build
and
to
plant,
\VS{10}if
it
do
evil
in
my
sight,
that
it hearken
not unto
my
voice,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
good wherewith
I
said
I
would
benefit
them.
\VS{11}And
now,
speak
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
prepare
evil
against
you,
and
devise
a device
against
you:
turn ye
then
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings.
\VS{12}But
they
say, There
is no hope;
for
we
will walk
after
our
own devices,
and
we
will
each
one
do [according
to]
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart.
\VS{13}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Ask ye
now
among
the
nations,
Who hath
heard
such
things?
The
virgin
of
Israel hath
done
a
very horrible
thing.
\VS{14}Shall
the
snow
of
Lebanon cease
from
the
rock
of
the
field?
Shall
the
cool
flowing
waters coming
from afar
be dried up?
\VS{15}For
my
people hath
forgotten
me:
they
burn
incense
to
vanity;
and
they
have caused
them
to
stumble
in
their
ways,
the
ancient
paths,
to
walk
in by-paths
of
a
way
not
cast
up;
\VS{16}to
make
their
land
an astonishment,
a
perpetual
hissing:
every
one
that passeth
by
shall
be
astonished,
and
shake
his
head.
\VS{17}As
with
an
east
wind
will
I
scatter
them
before
the
enemy;
I
will shew
them
the
back,
and
not
the
face,
in
the
day
of
their
calamity.
\VS{18}And
they
said, Come,
and
let
us
devise devices
against
Jeremiah;
for
law
shall
not
perish
from
the
priest,
nor
counsel
from
the
wise,
nor
word
from
the
prophet. Come
and
let
us
smite
him
with
the
tongue,
and
let
us
not
give
heed
to
any
of
his
words.
\VS{19}Jehovah,
give
heed
to
me,
and
listen
to
the
voice
of those
that
contend
with
me.
\VS{20}Shall
evil
be
recompensed
for
good?
For
they
have digged
a
pit
for
my
soul.
Remember
how
I
stood
before thee
to
speak
good
for
them,
to
turn
away thy
wrath
from
them.
\VS{21}Therefore
give
up
their
children
to
the
famine,
and
deliver
them
over
to
the
power
of
the
sword;
and
let
their
wives
be bereaved
of
children
and
be
widows;
and
let
their
men
be swept
off
by
death,
their
young
men
be
smitten
by
the
sword
in
battle.
\VS{22}Let
a
cry
be
heard
from
their
houses,
when thou shalt
bring
a
troop
suddenly
upon
them;
for
they
have digged
a
pit
to
take
me,
and
have
hidden
snares
for
my
feet.
\VS{23}And thou,
Jehovah, knowest
all
their
counsel
against
me
to slay
me.
Forgive
not
their
iniquity,
neither blot
out
their
sin
from thy
sight,
but
let
them
be
overthrown
before thee:
deal
with
them
in
the
time
of thine
anger.

is
with
me
as

if ye
will
not
hear
these
words,
I
have
sworn
by myself, saith
Jehovah,
that
this
house
shall
become
a
waste.
\VS{6}For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah: Thou art
a
Gilead unto
me,
the
summit
of
Lebanon: verily
I
will
make thee
a
wilderness,
cities
not
inhabited.
\VS{7}And
I
will
prepare
destroyers
against thee,
every
one
with
his
weapons;
and
they
shall
cut
down
the
choice
of thy
cedars,
and
cast [them]
into
the
fire.
\VS{8}And
many
nations
shall
pass
by
this
city,
and
they
shall
say
every
man
to
his neighbour, Wherefore hath
Jehovah
done
thus unto
this
great
city?
\VS{9}And
they
shall
say,
Because
they
have forsaken
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and worshipped
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
and
served
them.
\VS{10}Weep
not
for
the
dead,
neither bemoan
him; [but]
weep sore
for
him
that goeth
away,
for
he
shall
return
no
more,
nor
see
his
native
country.
\VS{11}For
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Shallum
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
who
reigned
instead
of
Josiah
his
father,
who
went
forth
out
of
this
place:
He
shall
not
return thither
any
more;
\VS{12}for
he
shall
die
in
the
place whither
they
have
led
him
captive,
and
shall
see
this
land
no
more.
\VS{13}Woe unto
him
that buildeth
his
house
by unrighteousness,
and
his
upper
chambers
by injustice;
that taketh
his neighbour's
service
without
wages,
and giveth
him
not
his earning;
\VS{14}that saith,
I
will
build
me
a wide
house,
and
spacious
upper
chambers;
and
he cutteth out
for himself
windows;
and
it
is wainscoted
with
cedar,
and painted
with
vermilion.
\VS{15}Shalt thou
reign,
because thou viest
with
the
cedar?
Did
not thy
father
eat
and
drink,
and
do
judgment
and
justice?
Then
it
was
well
with
him.
\VS{16}He judged
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
needy;
then
it
was
well.
Was
not
this
to
know
me? saith
Jehovah.
\VS{17}But thine
eyes
and thy
heart
are
only
on thine
extortion,
and
on
the
blood
of
the
innocent,
to
shed
it,
and
on
oppression
and
on
violence,
to
do
it.
\VS{18}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah:
They
shall
not
lament
for
him,
Ah,
my
brother!
or,
Ah,
sister!
They
shall
not
lament
for
him,
Ah,
lord!
or
Ah,
his
glory!
\VS{19}He
shall
be
buried
with
the
burial
of
an ass,
dragged along
and
cast forth
beyond
the
gates
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{20}Go
up
to
Lebanon,
and
cry;
and
give
forth thy
voice
in
Bashan,
and
cry
from [the heights
of]
Abarim:
for
all thy
lovers
are destroyed.
\VS{21}I
spoke unto thee
in thy
prosperity; [but] thou saidst,
I
will
not
hear.
This hath
been thy
way
from thy
youth,
that thou hearkenedst
not unto
my
voice.
\VS{22}The
wind shall
feed
on
all thy
shepherds,
and thy
lovers shall go into
captivity;
surely,
then shalt thou
be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
all thy
wickedness.
\VS{23}Thou inhabitress
of
Lebanon,
that makest thy
nest
in
the
cedars,
how pitiful shalt thou be
when pangs
come
upon thee,
pain
as
of
a woman
in travail!
\VS{24}[As]
I
live, saith
Jehovah,
though Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
the
king
of
Judah,
were
a
signet
upon
my
right
hand,
yet
will
I pluck thee thence;
\VS{25}and
I
will
give thee
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek thy
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
before
whom thou art afraid, even
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{26}And
I
will
cast thee
out,
and thy
mother
that bare thee,
into
another
country,
where ye
were
not
born;
and
there
shall ye
die.
\VS{27}And
into
the
land whereunto
they
lift
up
their
souls
to
return, thither
shall
they
not
return.
\VS{28}Is
this
man Coniah
a
despised broken vase?
a
vessel
wherein
is
no
delight? Wherefore
are
they
thrown
out,
he
and
his
seed,
and
are
cast
into
a
land
which
they
know
not?
\VS{29}O
earth,
earth,
earth,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah!
\VS{30}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Write
this
man
childless,
a
man
that
shall
not
prosper
in
his
days;
for
no
man
of
his
seed
shall
prosper,
sitting
upon
the
throne
of
David,
and
ruling
any
more
in
Judah.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Woe unto
the
shepherds
that
destroy
and
scatter
the
sheep
of
my
pasture! saith
Jehovah.
\VS{2}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 23:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel
concerning
the
shepherds
that
feed
my
people: Ye
have
scattered
my
flock,
and
driven
them
away,
and
have
not
visited
them:
behold,
I
will
visit
upon
you
the
evil
of
your
doings, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{3}And
I
will
gather
the
remnant
of
my
flock
out
of
all
countries whither
I
have
driven
them,
and
will
bring
them
again
to
their pastures;
and
they
shall
be
fruitful
and
shall
multiply.
\VS{4}And
I
will
raise
up
shepherds
over
them,
who
shall
feed
them;
and
they
shall
fear
no
more,
nor
be
dismayed,
neither
shall
any
be
missing, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{5}Behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
when
I
will
raise unto
David
a
righteous
Branch,
who
shall
reign
as
king,
and
act wisely,
and
shall execute
judgment
and
righteousness
in
the
land.
\VS{6}In
his
days
Judah
shall
be
saved,
and
Israel
shall
dwell
in
safety;
and
this
is
his
name
whereby
he
shall
be
called,
Jehovah
our
Righteousness.
\VS{7}Therefore
behold,
days
are
coming, saith
Jehovah,
that
they
shall
no
more
say, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
\VS{8}but, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
who
brought
up
and
who
led
back
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel
out
of
the
north
country,
and
from
all
countries whither
I
had
driven
them.
And
they
shall
dwell
in
their own
land.
\VS{9}Concerning
the
prophets:
My
heart
within
me
is
broken;
all
my
bones shake;
I
am
like
a
drunken
man,
and
like
a
man whom
wine hath overcome;
because
of
Jehovah,
and
because
of
the
words
of
his
holiness.
\VS{10}For
the
land
is
full
of
adulterers;
for
because
of execration
the
land mourneth.
The
pastures
of
the
wilderness
are
dried
up;
for
their
course
is
evil,
and
their force
is
not
right.
\VS{11}For
both
prophet
and
priest
are profane:
even
in
my
house
have
I
found
their
wickedness, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{12}Therefore
their
way
shall
be unto
them
as
slippery
places
in
the
darkness;
they
shall
be driven
on,
and
fall therein:
for
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them
in
the
year
of
their visitation, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{13}And
I
have
seen
folly
in
the
prophets
of
Samaria:
they
prophesied
by
Baal,
and caused
my
people
Israel
to
err.
\VS{14}And
in
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
have
I
seen
a horrible
thing:
they
commit
adultery,
and
walk
in
falsehood,
and
strengthen
the
hands
of evildoers,
so
that
none doth
return
from
his
wickedness.
They
are
all
become unto
me
as
Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants thereof
as
Gomorrah.
\VS{15}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts
concerning
the
prophets:
Behold,
I
will
feed
them
with
wormwood,
and
make
them
drink
water
of
gall;
for
from
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
is profaneness
gone
forth
into
all
the
land.
\VS{16}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts: Hearken
not unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
prophesy unto
you:
they lead
you
to vanity;
they
speak
a
vision
of
their own
heart,
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
Jehovah.
\VS{17}They
say constantly unto
them
that
despise
me,
Jehovah hath
said, Ye
shall
have
peace.
And
they
say unto
every
one
that walketh
in
the
stubbornness
of
his
heart,
No
evil
shall
come
upon
you.
\VS{18}For
who hath
stood
in
the
council
of
Jehovah,
so
that
he hath
perceived
and
heard
his
word?
who hath hearkened
to
his
word
and
listened?
\VS{19}Behold,
a
tempest
of
Jehovah,
fury
is
gone
forth, yea,
a whirling
storm:
it
shall whirl
down
upon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
\VS{20}The
anger
of
Jehovah
shall
not
return,
until
he
have executed,
and
until
he
have performed
the
purposes
of
his
heart:
at
the
end
of
the
days ye
shall
understand
it
clearly.
\VS{21}I
did
not
send
the
prophets,
yet
they
ran;
I
have
not
spoken
to
them,
yet
they
prophesied.
\VS{22}But
if
they
had
stood
in
my
council,
and
had
caused
my
people
to
hear
my
words,
then
would
they
have
turned
them
from
their
evil
way
and
from
the
wickedness
of
their
doings.
\VS{23}Am
I
a
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 23:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
at
hand, saith
Jehovah,
and
not
a
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 23:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
afar
off?
\VS{24}Can
any
hide
himself
in
secret
places,
that
I
shall
not
see
him? saith
Jehovah.
Do
not
I
fill
the
heavens
and
the
earth? saith
Jehovah.
\VS{25}I
have
heard
what
the
prophets
say,
who
prophesy
falsehood
in
my
name,
saying,
I
have
dreamed,
I
have
dreamed.
\VS{26}How
long
shall [this]
be
in
the
heart
of
the
prophets
who
prophesy
falsehood,
and
who
are
prophets
of
the
deceit
of
their own
heart?
\VS{27}who
think
to cause
my
people
to
forget
my
name
by
their
dreams
which
they
tell
every
man
to
his neighbour:
as
their
fathers
have
forgotten
my
name
for
Baal.
\VS{28}The
prophet
that hath
a
dream, let
him
tell
the
dream;
and
he
that hath
my
word, let
him
speak
my
word
faithfully.
What
is
the chaff
to
the
wheat? saith
Jehovah.
\VS{29}Is
not
my
word
like
a
fire, saith
Jehovah;
and
like
a
hammer [that] breaketh
the
rock
in pieces?
\VS{30}Therefore,
behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets, saith
Jehovah,
that
steal
my
words
every
one
from
his neighbour.
\VS{31}Behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets, saith
Jehovah,
that
use
their
tongues,
and say,
He hath said.
\VS{32}Behold,
I
am
against
them
that
prophesy
false
dreams, saith
Jehovah,
and
that
tell
them,
and cause
my
people
to
err
by
their
lies
and
by
their
boasting;
and
I
have
not
sent
them,
nor
commanded
them;
and
they
profit
not
this
people
at all, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{33}And
when
this
people,
or
a
prophet,
or
a
priest,
ask thee,
saying,
What
is
the
burden
of
Jehovah? thou shalt
then
say unto
them,
What
burden?
I
will
even
cast
you
off, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{34}And
as
for
the
prophet,
and
the
priest,
and
the
people,
that
shall
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
I
will
even
punish
that
man
and
his
house.
\VS{35}Thus
shall ye
say
every
one
to
his neighbour,
and
every
one
to
his
brother:
What hath
Jehovah
answered?
and,
What hath
Jehovah
spoken?
\VS{36}And
the
burden
of
Jehovah
shall ye
mention
no
more;
for
every man's
own
word
shall
be
his
burden:
for ye
have
perverted
the
words
of
the
living
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 23:36 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 23:36 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{37}Thus shalt thou
say
to
the
prophet:
What hath
Jehovah
answered thee?
and,
What hath
Jehovah
spoken?
\VS{38}But
since ye
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Because ye
say
this
word,
The
burden
of
Jehovah,
and
I
have
sent unto
you,
saying, Ye
shall
not
say,
The
burden
of
Jehovah;
\VS{39}therefore
behold,
I
will utterly
forget
you,
and
I
will
cast
you
off,
far
from
my
face,
and
the
city
that
I
gave
to
you
and
to
your
fathers.
\VS{40}And
I
will
bring
everlasting
reproach
upon
you,
and
everlasting
shame,
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.

bad
very
bad,
which
cannot

Like
these
good
figs,
so
will

up.
\VS{7}And
I

inhabitants thereof,
and
against
all
these
nations
round
about;
and
I
will utterly
destroy
them,
and
make
them
an astonishment,
and
a
hissing,
and
perpetual
wastes.
\VS{10}And
I
will cause
to
perish
from
them
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the
bride,
the
sound
of
the
millstones
and
the
light
of
the
lamp.
\VS{11}And
this
whole
land
shall
become
a
waste,
an astonishment;
and
these
nations
shall
serve
the
king
of
Babylon
seventy
years.
\VS{12}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
seventy
years
are
accomplished, [that]
I
will
visit
on
the
king
of
Babylon
and
on
that
nation, saith
Jehovah,
their
iniquity,
and
on
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
I
will
make
it
perpetual desolations.
\VS{13}And
I
will
bring
upon
that
land
all
my
words
which
I
have
pronounced
against
it,
all
that
is
written
in
this
book,
which
Jeremiah hath
prophesied
against
all
the
nations.
\VS{14}For
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall
serve
themselves
of
them
also;
and
I
will recompense
them
according
to
their
deeds,
and
according
to
the
work
of
their
hands.
\VS{15}For
thus hath
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 25:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel
said unto
me:
Take
the
cup
of
the
wine
of
this
fury
at
my
hand,
and cause
all
the
nations
to
whom
I
send thee
to
drink
it.
\VS{16}And
they
shall
drink,
and reel
to
and fro,
and
be mad,
because
of
the
sword
that
I
will
send
among
them.
\VS{17}And
I
took
the
cup
at Jehovah's
hand,
and
made
all
the
nations
to
drink,
to
whom
Jehovah
had
sent
me:
\VS{18}Jerusalem,
and
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
the
kings thereof,
and
the
princes thereof,
to
make
them
a
waste,
an astonishment,
a
hissing,
and
a
curse,
as
it
is
this
day;
\VS{19}Pharaoh
king
of
Egypt,
and
his
servants,
and
his
princes,
and
all
his
people;
\VS{20}and
all

and
all

the

cut
off;
\VS{24}and

and

of

which
are
upon

face
of

and
the
king
of
Sheshach
shall
drink
after
them.
\VS{27}And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 25:27 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Drink,
and
be drunken,
and vomit,
and
fall,
and
rise
no
more,
because
of
the
sword
that
I
will
send
among
you.
\VS{28}And
it
shall
be,
if
they
refuse
to
take
the
cup
from thy
hand
to
drink,
then shalt thou
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts: Ye
shall
certainly
drink.
\VS{29}For
behold,
I
begin
to
bring
evil
on
the
city
that
is
called
by
my
name,
and
should ye
be
altogether
unpunished? Ye
shall
not
be
unpunished;
for
I
call
for
a
sword
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{30}And thou,
prophesy unto
them
all
these
words,
and
say unto
them,
Jehovah
will
roar
from
on
high,
and
utter
his
voice
from
his
holy
habitation;
he
will
mightily
roar
upon
his dwelling-place,
he
will
give
a
shout,
as
they
that
tread [the vintage],
against
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth.
\VS{31}The
noise
shall
come
to
the
end
of
the
earth:
for
Jehovah hath
a
controversy
with
the
nations,
he entereth
into
judgment
with
all
flesh;
as
for
the
wicked,
he
will
give
them
up
to
the
sword, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{32}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
evil
shall
go
forth
from
nation
to
nation,
and
a
great
storm
shall
be raised
up
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
\VS{33}And
the
slain
of
Jehovah
shall [be]
at
that
day
from [one]
end
of
the
earth
even unto
the [other]
end
of
the
earth:
they
shall
not
be
lamented,
neither
gathered,
nor
buried;
they
shall
be
dung
upon
the
face
of
the
ground.
\VS{34}Howl, ye
shepherds,
and
cry;
and
wallow yourselves [in
the dust], noble
ones
of
the
flock:
for
the
days
of
your
slaughter
are
accomplished,
and
I
will disperse
you;
and ye
shall
fall
like
a
precious
vessel.
\VS{35}And
refuge shall
perish
from
the
shepherds,
and
escape
from
the noble
ones
of
the
flock.
\VS{36}There
shall
be
a
voice
of
the
cry
of
the
shepherds,
and
a howling
of
the noble
ones
of
the
flock:
for
Jehovah layeth
waste
their
pasture;
\VS{37}and
the peaceable enclosures
shall
be desolated,
because
of
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah.
\VS{38}He hath forsaken
his covert
as
a
young
lion;
for
their
land
is
a
desolation
because
of
the
fierceness
of
the
oppressor,
and
because
of
his
fierce
anger.

the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
the
king
of
Judah,
came
this
word
from
Jehovah,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Stand
in
the
court
of Jehovah's
house,
and
speak unto
all
the
cities
of
Judah,
which
come
to
worship
in Jehovah's
house,
all
the
words
that
I
command thee
to
speak unto
them: diminish
not
a
word.
\VS{3}Peradventure
they
will hearken,
and
turn
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
that
I
may
repent
me
of
the
evil
which
I purpose
to
do unto
them
because
of
the
wickedness
of
their
doings.
\VS{4}And thou shalt
say unto
them,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
If ye
will
not hearken unto
me,
to walk
in
my
law,
which
I
have
set
before
you,
\VS{5}to hearken unto
the
words
of
my
servants
the
prophets,
whom
I
have
sent unto
you,
even
rising
early
and
sending [them],
but ye
have
not hearkened,
\VS{6}—
then
will
I
make
this
house
like
Shiloh,
and
will
make
this
city
a
curse
to
all
the
nations
of
the
earth.
\VS{7}And
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
\VS{8}And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jeremiah
had
ended
speaking
all
that
Jehovah
had
commanded [him]
to
speak unto
all
the
people,
that
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
seized
him,
saying, Thou shalt
certainly
die.
\VS{9}Why hast thou
prophesied
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
saying,
This
house
shall
be
like
Shiloh,
and
this
city
shall
be desolate,
without
inhabitant?
And
all
the
people
were
gathered
against
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
\VS{10}And
the
princes
of
Judah
heard
these
things;
and
they
went
up
from
the king's
house unto
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
sat
in
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
Jehovah.
\VS{11}And
the
priests
and
the
prophets
spoke unto
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
This
man
is
worthy
to
die,
for
he hath
prophesied
against
this
city,
as ye
have
heard
with
your
ears.
\VS{12}And
Jeremiah
spoke
to
all
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
Jehovah
sent
me
to
prophesy
against
this
house
and
against
this
city
all
the
words
that ye
have
heard.
\VS{13}And
now,
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
and hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 26:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and
Jehovah
will
repent
him
of
the
evil
that
he hath
pronounced
against
you.
\VS{14}But
as
for
me,
behold,
I
am
in
your
hand;
do unto
me
as seemeth
good
and
right
in
your
eyes:
\VS{15}only
know
for
certain
that
if ye
put
me
to
death, ye
shall
surely
bring
innocent
blood
upon
yourselves,
and
upon
this
city,
and
upon
the
inhabitants thereof;
for
of
a
truth
Jehovah hath
sent
me unto
you
to
speak
all
these
words
in
your
ears.
\VS{16}And
the
princes
and
all
the
people
said unto
the
priests
and
to
the
prophets,
This
man
is
not
worthy
to
die;
for
he hath
spoken
to
us
in
the
name
of
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 26:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{17}And
there
rose
up
certain
of
the
elders
of
the
land
and
spoke
to
all
the
congregation
of
the
people,
saying,
\VS{18}Micah
the Morasthite
prophesied
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
spoke
to
all
the
people
of
Judah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Zion
shall
be ploughed [as]
a
field,
and
Jerusalem
shall
become heaps,
and
the
mountain
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
a
forest.
\VS{19}Did
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
and
all
Judah
put
him
at
all
to
death?
Did
he
not
fear
Jehovah,
and supplicate
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
repented
him
of
the
evil
that
he
had
pronounced
against
them?
And
we
should
be
doing
a
great
evil
against
our
souls.
\VS{20}And
there
was
also
a
man
that
prophesied
in
the
name
of
Jehovah, Urijah
the
son
of
Shemaiah
of Kirjath-jearim:
and
he
prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
according
to
all
the
words
of
Jeremiah;
\VS{21}and
Jehoiakim
the
king,
and
all
his
mighty
men,
and
all
the
princes,
heard
his
words,
and
the
king
sought
to
put
him
to
death;
but Urijah
heard
it,
and
he
was
afraid,
and
fled,
and
went
into
Egypt.
\VS{22}And
Jehoiakim
the
king
sent
men
into
Egypt,
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
men
with
him,
into
Egypt;
\VS{23}and
they fetched
forth Urijah
out
of
Egypt,
and
brought
him
to
Jehoiakim
the
king;
and
he
slew
him
with
the
sword,
and
cast
his
dead
body
into
the
graves
of
the
children
of
the
people.
\VS{24}—
Nevertheless
the
hand
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
was
with
Jeremiah,
that
they should
not
give
him
into
the
hand
of
the
people
to
put
him
to
death.

\VS{4}And
give

a

Thus saith

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of

Thus
shall ye
say unto

man

beast
that
are
upon
the
face
of

earth,
by
my
great
power
and
by
my
outstretched
arm;
and
I
give
them unto
whom
it seemeth
right
in mine
eyes.
\VS{6}And
now
have
I
given
all
these
lands
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant;
and
the
beasts
of

also
have
I
given

to
serve
him.
\VS{7}And
all

shall
serve
him,
and
his
son,
and
his son's
son,
until
the
time
of
his
land
also
come,
when
many
nations
and

shall reduce
him
to servitude.

it
shall
come
to

that
the
nation
and

which
will
not
serve
the

Nebuchadnezzar
king

and
that
will
not
put

with
the
sword,

with

and
with

I
have
consumed

who
speak unto
you
saying: Ye

prophesy
falsehood unto
you,
to
remove
you
far
from
your

that
I
should
drive
you
out,
and ye

Babylon
and serveth
him,

I let
remain
still
in
its own
land, saith

till
it,

dwell therein.

bring
your
necks
under

not unto
them;
serve

concerning

Hananiah
took
the

from

broke
it.

Hananiah
spoke
in

saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
So
will
I
break
the
yoke
of
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon
within two
full
years
from
off
the
neck
of
all
the
nations.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah went
his
way.
\VS{12}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
after
that
the
prophet
Hananiah
had
broken
the
yoke
from
off
the
neck
of
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{13}Go
and
tell
Hananiah,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou hast
broken
the
yokes
of
wood,
and thou hast
made
in
their
place
yokes
of
iron.
\VS{14}For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
I
have
put
a
yoke
of
iron
upon
the
neck
of
all
these
nations,
that
they
may
serve
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon;
and
they
shall
serve
him:
and
I
have
given
him
the
beasts
of
the
field
also.
\VS{15}And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
said unto
the
prophet
Hananiah,
Hear
now,
Hananiah:
Jehovah hath
not
sent thee;
and thou makest
this
people
to
trust
in
falsehood.
\VS{16}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
cast thee
from
off
the
face
of
the
earth:
this
year thou shalt
die,
for thou hast
spoken
revolt
against
Jehovah.
\VS{17}And
the

Hananiah
died
in
the
same
year
in
the
seventh
month.

deceive
you,
neither hearken
to
your

which ye

prophesy
falsely unto

I

search
for
me
with
all

And
I

you
from

Jehovah
make thee
like
Zedekiah
and
like
Ahab,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
roasted
in
the
fire;

they
have
committed infamy
in
Israel,

have
committed
adultery
with
their neighbours'
wives,

have
spoken
words
of
falsehood
in

had
not
commanded

I [am]
he
that knoweth,
and [am]
witness, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{24}And thou shalt
speak
to
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
saying,
\VS{25}Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of

plant
gardens,

And
Zephaniah

concerning

Because
that
Shemaiah hath
prophesied unto
you,
and
I
sent
him
not,
and
he hath
caused
you
to
trust
in
falsehood;

thus saith

Nehelamite,
and
his
seed:
he
shall
not
have
a
man
to
dwell
among
this

neither
shall
he
see
the
good
that
I
will
do
for

he hath
spoken
revolt
against
Jehovah.

and
I

cause

to
return
to

that

fathers,
and

shall
possess

words
that

spoken
concerning

and
concerning
Judah;

Jehovah:
We
have
heard
a
voice
of
trembling,
there
is
fear,
and
no
peace.
\VS{6}Ask ye
now,
and
see,
whether
a
male doth travail
with
child? Wherefore
do
I
see
every
man
with
his
hands
on
his
loins,
as
a woman
in travail;
and
all
faces
are
turned
into paleness?

trouble;

be
saved

shall
come

in

break
his
yoke
from

have
smitten thee
with
the stroke
of
an
enemy,
with
the chastisement
of
a
cruel
one,
for
the
greatness
of thine
iniquity: thy
sins
are manifold.

because
of thy bruise? thy
sorrow
is
incurable;
for

greatness
of thine
iniquity, [because] thy
sins
are manifold,

have
done
these
things unto thee.

that
devour thee shall

devoured,

called thee
an
outcast:
This

Jehovah,
for corn,
and
for
new
wine,
and
for
oil,
and
for
the
young
of
the
flock
and
of
the
herd;
and
their
soul
shall
be
as
a
watered
garden,
and
they
shall
not
languish
any
more
at
all.
\VS{13}Then shall
the
virgin
rejoice
in
the
dance,
and
the
young
men
and
old
together;
for
I
will
turn
their
mourning
into
gladness,
and
will
comfort
them,
and
make
them
rejoice after
their
sorrow.
\VS{14}And
I
will satiate
the
soul
of
the
priests
with
fatness,
and
my
people
shall
be
satisfied
with
my
goodness, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{15}Thus saith
Jehovah:
A
voice hath
been
heard
in
Ramah,
the wail
of very
bitter
weeping, —
Rachel
weeping
for
her
children,
refusing
to
be
comforted
for
her
children,
because
they
are
not.
\VS{16}Thus saith
Jehovah: Refrain thy
voice
from
weeping,
and thine
eyes
from
tears;
for
there
is
a
reward
for thy
work, saith
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
come
again
from
the
land
of
the
enemy.
\VS{17}And
there
is
hope
for thy
latter
end, saith
Jehovah,
and thy
children
shall
come
again
to
their own
border.
\VS{18}I
have
indeed
heard
Ephraim bemoaning
himself [thus]: Thou hast
chastised
me,
and
I
was
chastised
as
a bullock
not
trained:
turn thou
me,
and
I
shall
be
turned;
for thou art
Jehovah
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{19}Surely
after
that
I
was
turned,
I
repented;
and
after
I
knew
myself,
I
smote
upon [my]
thigh.
I
was
ashamed,
yea,
even
confounded,
for
I
bear
the
reproach
of
my
youth.
\VS{20}Is
Ephraim
a
dear
son unto
me?
is
he
a
child
of delights?
For whilst
I
have
been
speaking
against
him,
I
do constantly
remember
him
still.
Therefore
my
bowels
are troubled
for
him:
I
will
certainly
have
mercy
upon
him, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{21}Set
up waymarks,
make
for thyself signposts;
set thy
heart
toward
the
highway,
the
way
by
which thou wentest:
turn
again, O
virgin
of
Israel,
turn
again
to
these thy
cities.
\VS{22}How
long wilt thou wander
about, thou
backsliding
daughter?
For
Jehovah hath
created
a
new
thing
on
the
earth,
a
woman
shall
encompass
a
man.
\VS{23}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:23 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
They
shall
again use
this
speech,
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
the
cities thereof,
when
I
shall
turn
their
captivity:
Jehovah
bless thee,
O habitation
of
righteousness,
mountain
of
holiness!
\VS{24}And therein
shall
dwell
Judah,
and
all
the
cities thereof
together,
the husbandmen,
and
they
that
go
about
with
flocks.
\VS{25}For
I
have
satiated
the
weary
soul,
and
every languishing
soul
have
I replenished.
\VS{26}—
Upon
this
I awaked,
and beheld;
and
my
sleep
was
sweet unto
me.
\VS{27}Behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
sow
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah [with]
the
seed
of
man
and
the
seed
of
beast.
\VS{28}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
as
I
have
watched
over
them,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
break
down,
and
to
overthrow,
and
to
destroy,
and
to afflict;
so
will
I
watch
over
them
to
build,
and
to
plant, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{29}In
those
days
they
shall
say
no
more,
The
fathers
have
eaten
sour
grapes,
and
the children's
teeth
are set
on edge:
\VS{30}for
every
one
shall
die
for
his
own
iniquity;
every
man
that eateth
the
sour
grapes,
his
teeth
shall
be set
on edge.
\VS{31}Behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
make
a
new
covenant
with
the
house
of
Israel
and
with
the
house
of
Judah:
\VS{32}not
according
to
the
covenant
that
I
made
with
their
fathers,
in
the
day
of
my taking
them
by
the
hand,
to
lead
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
which
my
covenant
they broke,
although
I
was
a
husband unto
them, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{33}For
this
is
the
covenant
that
I
will
make
with
the
house
of
Israel,
after
those
days, saith
Jehovah:
I
will
put
my
law
in
their
inward parts,
and
will
write
it
in
their
heart;
and
I
will
be
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 31:33 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
\VS{34}And
they
shall
teach
no
more
every
man
his neighbour,
and
every
man
his
brother,
saying,
Know
Jehovah;
for
they
shall
all
know
me,
from
the least
of
them unto
the
greatest
of
them, saith
Jehovah:
for
I
will
pardon
their
iniquity,
and
their
sin
will
I
remember
no
more.
\VS{35}Thus saith
Jehovah,
who giveth
the
sun
for
light
by
day,
the
ordinances
of
the
moon
and
of
the
stars
for
light
by
night,
who stirreth
up
the
sea
so
that
the
waves thereof
roar, —
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name:
\VS{36}If
those ordinances
depart
from
before
me, saith
Jehovah,
the
seed
of
Israel
also
shall
cease
from
being
a
nation
before
me
for ever.
\VS{37}Thus saith
Jehovah:
If
the
heavens
above
can
be
measured,
and
the
foundations
of
the
earth
searched
out
beneath,
I
will
also cast
off
the
whole
seed
of
Israel,
for
all
that
they
have
done, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{38}Behold,
the
days come, saith
Jehovah,
that
the
city
shall
be
built
to
Jehovah,
from
the
tower
of Hananeel unto
the corner-gate.
\VS{39}And
the
measuring line shall
yet
go
forth
before
it unto
the
hill
Gareb,
and shall
turn
toward Goath.
\VS{40}And
the
whole
valley
of
the
dead
bodies,
and
of
the
ashes,
and
all
the fields unto
the torrent
Kidron, unto
the
corner
of
the horse-gate
toward
the
east,
shall
be
holy unto
Jehovah:
it
shall
not
be
plucked
up,
nor
overthrown
any
more
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah
in
the
tenth
year
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah:
that
year
was
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar.
\VS{2}And
the
king
of Babylon's
army
was
then
besieging
Jerusalem;
and
the
prophet
Jeremiah
was
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
which
was
in
the
king
of Judah's
house.
\VS{3}For
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
had
shut
him
up,
saying,
Why dost thou
prophesy
and
say,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
take
it;
\VS{4}and
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
shall
not
escape
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans;
for
he
shall
certainly
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
shall
speak
with
him
mouth
to
mouth,
and
his
eyes
shall
behold
his
eyes;
\VS{5}and
he
shall lead
Zedekiah
to
Babylon,
and
there
shall
he
be
until
I
visit
him, saith
Jehovah:
though ye
fight
with
the
Chaldeans, ye
shall
not
prosper?
\VS{6}And
Jeremiah
said,
The
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
me,
saying,
\VS{7}Behold, Hanameel,
the
son
of
Shallum thine
uncle,
shall
come unto thee,
saying,
Buy
for thyself
my
field
which
is
in
Anathoth;
for thine
is
the
right
of
redemption,
to
buy [it].
\VS{8}And Hanameel, mine uncle's
son,
came
to
me
in
the
court
of
the
guard
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
and
said unto
me,
Buy
my
field,
I
pray thee,
that
is
in
Anathoth,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Benjamin;
for
the
right
of
inheritance
is thine,
and
the
redemption
is thine:
buy [it]
for thyself.
Then
I
knew
that
this
was
the
word
of
Jehovah.
\VS{9}And
I
bought
of Hanameel, mine uncle's
son,
the
field
which
is
in
Anathoth,
and
weighed
him
the
money, seventeen
shekels
of
silver.
\VS{10}And I subscribed
the
writing,
and
sealed
it,
and took
witnesses,
and
weighed
the
money
in
the
balances.
\VS{11}And I
took
the writing
of
the
purchase,
that which was
sealed [according
to]
the law
and
the
statutes,
and
that which was
open;
\VS{12}and
I
gave
the
writing
of
the
purchase unto
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah,
the
son
of Maaseiah,
in
the
sight
of Hanameel mine uncle's [son],
and
in
the
presence
of
the
witnesses
that
had subscribed
the
writing
of
purchase,
before
all
the
Jews
that
were
sitting
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
\VS{13}And
I
charged
Baruch
in
their
presence,
saying,
\VS{14}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Take
these writings,
this writing
of
the
purchase, both
that
which
is
sealed
and
this writing
which
is
open;
and
put
them
in
an
earthen
vessel,
that
they
may
remain
many
days.
\VS{15}For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Houses
and
fields
and
vineyards
shall
again
be
purchased
in
this
land.
\VS{16}And
after
I
had
given
the writing
of
the
purchase unto
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah,
I
prayed unto
Jehovah
saying,
\VS{17}Alas,
Lord Jehovah!
Behold, thou hast
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth
by thy
great
power
and
stretched-out
arm;
there
is
nothing
too
hard
for thee:
\VS{18}who shewest
mercy unto
thousands,
and recompensest
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
into
the
bosom
of
their
children
after
them, thou,
the
great,
the
mighty
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 32:18 }

El|strong="H0410"}God, —
Jehovah
of

his

in
counsel
and
mighty
in
work,
whose
eyes
are
open
upon
all
the
ways
of
the
children
of
men,
to
give
every
one
according
to
his
ways,
and
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
doings:
\VS{20}who hast
displayed
signs
and
wonders unto
this
day,
in
the
land
of
Egypt
and
in
Israel
and
among [other]
men;
and hast
made thee
a
name,
as
at
this
day.
\VS{21}And thou broughtest
forth thy
people
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
by
signs,
and
by
wonders,
and
by
a
powerful
hand,
and
by
a
stretched-out
arm,
and
by
great
terror;
\VS{22}and didst
give
them
this
land,
which thou hadst
sworn unto
their
fathers
to
give
them,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
\VS{23}And
they
came
in
and
possessed
it:
but
they hearkened
not unto thy
voice,
neither
walked
in thy
law;
they
have
done
nothing
of
all
that thou commandedst
them
to
do;
so
that thou hast
caused
all
this
evil
to
come
upon
them.
\VS{24}Behold
the mounds,
they
are
come unto
the
city
for
taking
it;
and
the
city
is
given
over
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
fight
against
it,
by
the
sword,
and
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence:
and
what thou hast
spoken
is
come
to
pass;
and
behold, thou seest [it].
\VS{25}And thou,
Lord Jehovah, thou hast
said unto
me,
Buy
for thyself
the
field
for
money,
and
take
witnesses; —
and
the
city
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{26}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{27}Behold,
I
am
Jehovah,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:27 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
all

is
there
anything
too
hard
for
me?
\VS{28}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give

into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king

and
he
shall
take
it.
\VS{29}And
the
Chaldeans,
that
fight
against
this
city,
shall
come
in
and
set
fire
to
this

and
shall
burn
it,
and

they
have
offered
incense unto
Baal,
and poured
out drink-offerings unto
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:29 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
to
provoke
me
to
anger.
\VS{30}For
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
have
been
doing
only
evil
in
my
sight
from
their
youth;
for
the
children
of
Israel
have
only
provoked
me
to
anger
with
the
work
of
their
hands, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{31}For
this
city hath
been
to
me [a provocation]
of
mine
anger
and
of
my
fury
from
the
day
that
they
built
it
even unto
this
day;
that
I
should
remove

\VS{32}because
of
all
the

which
they
have
done
to
provoke

and
their
prophets,
and
the
men
of
Judah,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{33}And
they
have
turned unto
me
the
back,
and
not
the
face;
and
though
I
taught
them,
rising
early
and
teaching,
they hearkened
not
to
receive
instruction.
\VS{34}And
they
have
set
their
abominations
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
to
defile
it;
\VS{35}and
they
have
built
the
high
places
of

which
are
in

not,

came
it
into

sin.
\VS{36}And
now
therefore
Jehovah,

by

\VS{37}Behold,
I
will
gather
them
out
of
all
the
countries whither
I
have
driven
them,
in mine
anger,
and
in
my
fury,
and
in
great
wrath;
and
I
will
bring
them
again unto
this
place,
and
I
will
cause
them
to
dwell
safely.
\VS{38}And
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 32:38 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{39}And
I
will
give
them
one
heart,
and
one
way,
that
they
may
fear
me
all [their]
days,
for
the
good
of
them,
and
of
their
children
after
them.
\VS{40}And
I
will
make
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them,
that
I
will
not
draw
back
from
them,
to
do
them
good;
and
I
will
put
my
fear
in
their
heart,
that
they
may
not
turn
aside
from
me.
\VS{41}And
I
will
rejoice
over
them
to
do
them
good,
and
I
will assuredly
plant
them
in
this
land
with
my
whole
heart
and
with
my
whole
soul.
\VS{42}For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Like
as
I
have
brought
all
this
great
evil
upon
this
people,
so
will
I
bring
upon
them
all
the
good
that
I
have
spoken
concerning
them.
\VS{43}And
fields
shall
be
bought
in
this
land, whereof ye
say,
It
is
desolate
without
man
or
beast;
it
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{44}[Men]
shall
buy
fields
for
money,
and subscribe
the writings,
and
seal
them,
and
take
witnesses,
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the

of
Jerusalem,
and
in
the

and
in
the

of

in
the

of
the

and
in
the
cities
of
the
south:
for
I
will
turn
their
captivity, saith
Jehovah.

\VS{6}Behold,
I
will apply
a
healing dressing
to
it
and cure,
and
I
will
heal
them,
and
will
reveal unto
them
an
abundance
of
peace
and
truth.
\VS{7}And
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
Judah
and
the
captivity
of
Israel,
and
will
build
them,
as
at
the
beginning.
\VS{8}And
I
will
cleanse
them
from
all
their
iniquity,
whereby
they
have
sinned
against
me,
and
I
will
pardon
all
their
iniquities,
whereby
they
have
sinned
against
me,
and
whereby
they
have
transgressed
against
me.
\VS{9}And
it
shall
be
to
me
a
name
of
joy,
a
praise
and
a
glory
before
all
the
nations
of
the
earth,
which
shall
hear
of
all
the
good
that
I
do unto
them;
and
they
shall
fear
and
tremble
for
all
the
good
and
for
all
the
prosperity
that
I procure unto
it.
\VS{10}Thus saith
Jehovah:
In

It
is
waste,
without

in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in

streets
of
Jerusalem
that
are
desolate,
without
man,
and
without
inhabitant,
and
without
beast,
\VS{11}there
shall
again
be
heard
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
joy,
the
voice
of
the bridegroom
and
the
voice
of

bride,
the
voice
of
them
that
say,
Give ye

Jehovah
of

for
Jehovah
is
good,
for
his loving-kindness [endureth]
for

of
them
that
bring
thanksgiving unto
the
house
of
Jehovah.
For
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
the
land
as
in
the
beginning, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{12}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
In
this
place
which
is waste,
without
man
and
without
beast,
and
in
all
the
cities thereof,
there
shall
again
be
a habitation
of
shepherds causing [their]
flocks
to
lie
down.
\VS{13}In
the

of
the hill-country,
in
the

of
the
lowland,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
south,
and
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the
environs
of
Jerusalem,
and
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
shall
the
flocks
pass
again
under
the
hands
of
him
that counteth [them], saith
Jehovah.
\VS{14}Behold,
the
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will perform
the
good
word
which
I
have
spoken unto
the
house
of
Israel
and unto
the
house
of
Judah.
\VS{15}In
those
days,
and
at
that
time,
will
I
cause
a
Branch
of
righteousness
to
grow
up unto
David;
and
he
shall execute
judgment
and
righteousness
in
the
land.
\VS{16}In
those
days
shall
Judah
be
saved,
and
Jerusalem
shall
dwell
in
safety.
And
this
is
the
name wherewith
she
shall
be
called:
Jehovah
our
Righteousness.
\VS{17}For
thus saith
Jehovah:
There
shall
never
fail
to
David
a
man
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
house
of
Israel;
\VS{18}neither
shall
there
fail
to
the
priests
the
Levites
a
man
before
me
to
offer
up burnt-offerings,
and
to
burn oblations,
and
to
do
sacrifice
continually.
\VS{19}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{20}Thus saith
Jehovah:
If ye
can
break
my
covenant [in respect]
of
the
day,
and
my
covenant [in respect]
of
the
night,
so
that
there
should
not
be
day
and
night
in
their
season,
\VS{21}[then]
shall
also
my
covenant
be
broken
with
David
my
servant,
that
he
should
not
have
a
son
to
reign
upon
his
throne;
and
with
the
Levites,
the
priests,
my
ministers.
\VS{22}As
the
host
of
the
heavens
cannot
be
numbered,
nor
the
sand
of
the
sea
measured,
so
will
I
multiply
the
seed
of
David
my
servant,
and
the
Levites
that
minister unto
me.
\VS{23}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{24}Hast thou
not
seen
what
this
people
have
spoken,
saying,
The
two
families
that
Jehovah
had
chosen,
he hath
even cast
them
off?
And
they
despise
my
people,
that
they
should
be
no
more
a
nation
before
them.
\VS{25}Thus saith
Jehovah:
If
my
covenant
of
day
and
night [stand]
not,
if
I
have
not
appointed
the
ordinances
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
\VS{26}[then]
will
I
also cast
away
the
seed
of
Jacob,
and
of
David
my
servant,
so
as
not
to
take
of
his
seed
to
be
rulers
over
the
seed
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob:
for
I
will
turn
their
captivity,
and
will
have
mercy
on
them.

word
that
came
to

from

when

king
of
Babylon,
and
all
his
army,
and
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
under
his
dominion,
and
all
the
peoples,
fought
against
Jerusalem
and
against
all

cities thereof,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus saith
Jehovah,

\FTNT{°}{{\FR 34:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Go
and
speak
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
tell
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
burn
it
with
fire.
\VS{3}And thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
his
hand,
but shalt
certainly
be
taken,
and
given
into
his
hand;
and thine
eyes
shall
behold
the
eyes
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
his
mouth
shall
speak
with thy
mouth,
and thou shalt
go
to
Babylon.
\VS{4}Only,
hear
the
word
of
Jehovah,
O
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah.
Thus saith
Jehovah
as
to thee: Thou shalt
not
die
by
the
sword;
\VS{5}thou shalt
die
in
peace,
and
with
the burnings
of thy
fathers,
the
former
kings
that
were
before thee,
so
shall
they
burn
for thee;
and
they
will
lament
for thee,
Ah,
lord!
for
I
have
spoken
the
word, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{6}And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
spoke
all
these
words unto
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{7}And
the
king
of Babylon's
army
fought
against
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah
that
were
left,
against
Lachish,
and
against
Azekah;
for
these
were amongst
the
cities
of
Judah,
the fenced
cities
that
were
left.
\VS{8}The
word
that
came unto
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
after
that
king
Zedekiah
had
made
a
covenant
with
all
the
people
that
were
at
Jerusalem,
to
proclaim
liberty unto
them:
\VS{9}that
every
man
should
let
his bondman,
and
every
man
his bondmaid,
the
Hebrew
and
the Hebrewess,
go
free,
that none
should exact service
of
them, [that
is,]
of
a
Jew
his
brother.
\VS{10}And
all
the
princes
and
all
the
people
that
had
entered
into
the
covenant
obeyed,
every
man
letting
his bondman
and
every
man
his bondmaid
go
free,
that
none
should exact service
of
them
any
more:
they
obeyed,
and
let [them]
go.
\VS{11}But
afterwards
they
turned,
and
caused
the bondmen
and
the bondmaids
whom
they
had
let
go
free,
to
return,
and
brought
them
into
subjection
for bondmen
and
for bondmaids.
\VS{12}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
saying,
\VS{13}Thus saith
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 34:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
I
made
a
covenant
with
your
fathers
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage,
saying,
\VS{14}At
the
end
of
seven
years ye
shall
let
go
every
man
his
brother,
a
Hebrew,
who hath
sold
himself unto thee;
when
he hath
served thee
six
years, thou shalt
let
him
go
free
from thee.
But
your
fathers hearkened
not unto
me,
neither
inclined
their
ear.
\VS{15}And
you, ye
had
this
day
turned,
and
had
done
right
in
my
sight,
in
proclaiming
liberty
every
man
to
his neighbour;
and ye
had
made
a
covenant
before
me
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name:
\VS{16}but ye
have
turned
and
profaned
my
name,
and
caused
every
man
his bondman,
and
every
man
his bondmaid,
whom ye
had
set
at liberty
at
their pleasure,
to
return,
and ye
have
brought
them
into
subjection,
to
be unto
you
for bondmen
and
for bondmaids.
\VS{17}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah: Ye
have
not hearkened unto
me,
in
proclaiming
liberty,
every
man
to
his
brother,
and
every
man
to
his neighbour:
behold,
I
proclaim
a
liberty
for
you, saith
Jehovah,
to
the
sword,
to
the
pestilence,
and
to
the
famine;
and
I
will
give
you
over
to
be driven hither
and thither
among
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
I
will
give
the
men
that
have transgressed
my
covenant,
who
have
not
performed
the
words
of
the
covenant
which
they
had
made
before
me, —
the
calf
which
they
cut
in twain,
and
passed
between
the
parts thereof,
\VS{19}—
the
princes
of
Judah
and
the
princes
of
Jerusalem,
the
eunuchs,
and
the
priests,
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
that
passed
between
the
parts
of
the
calf;
\VS{20}them
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life;
and
their carcases
shall
be
food
for
the
fowl
of
the
heavens
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
\VS{21}And
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
and
his
princes
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of Babylon's
army, which
are
gone
up
from
you.
\VS{22}Behold,
I
command, saith
Jehovah,
and
I
will
cause
them
to
return
to
this
city;
and
they
shall
fight
against
it,
and
take
it,
and
burn
it
with
fire;
and
I
will
make
the
cities
of
Judah
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.

that
came
from
the
cities
of
Judah
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{10}And
Baruch
read
in
the
book
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
chamber
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
the
scribe,
in
the
upper
court,
at
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people.
\VS{11}And
Micah
the
son
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
heard
out
of
the
book
all
the
words
of
Jehovah;
\VS{12}and
he
went
down
to
the king's
house,
into
the scribe's
chamber,
and
behold,
all
the
princes
were
sitting
there:
Elishama
the
scribe,
and
Delaiah
the
son
of
Shemaiah,
and
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan,
and
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Hananiah,
and
all
the
princes.
\VS{13}And
Micah
declared unto
them
all
the
words
that
he
had
heard,
when
Baruch
read
in
the
book
in
the
ears
of
the
people.
\VS{14}And
all
the
princes
sent
Jehudi
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Cushi, unto
Baruch,
saying,
Take
in thy
hand
the roll
in
which thou hast
read
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
and
come.
And
Baruch
the
son
of Nerijah
took
the roll
in
his
hand,
and
came unto
them.
\VS{15}And
they
said unto
him,
Sit
down
now,
and
read
it
in
our
ears.
And
Baruch
read [it]
in
their
ears.
\VS{16}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
heard
all
the
words,
they
turned
in
fear
one
toward
another,
and
said unto
Baruch,
We
will
certainly
report
to
the
king
all
these
words.
\VS{17}And
they
asked
Baruch,
saying,
Tell
us
now,
How didst thou
write
all
these
words
from
his
mouth?
\VS{18}And
Baruch
said unto
them,
He pronounced
all
these
words unto
me
with
his
mouth,
and
I
wrote [them]
with
ink
in
the
book.
\VS{19}And
the
princes
said unto
Baruch, Go,
hide thee, thou
and
Jeremiah;
that
none
may
know
where ye
are.
\VS{20}And
they
went
in unto
the
king
into
the
court,
but
they
laid
up
the roll
in
the
chamber
of
Elishama
the
scribe;
and
they
told
all
the
words
in
the
ears
of
the
king.
\VS{21}And
the
king
sent
Jehudi
to fetch
the roll,
and
he fetched
it
out
of
the
chamber
of
Elishama
the
scribe.
And
Jehudi
read
it
in
the
ears
of
the
king,
and
in
the
ears
of
all
the
princes
that
stood
beside
the
king.
\VS{22}Now
the
king
was
sitting
in
the winter-house
in
the
ninth
month,
and
with
the fire-pan
burning
before
him.
\VS{23}And
it
came
to
pass,
that
when
Jehudi
had
read
three
or
four
columns,
he
cut
it
with
the scribe's
knife,
and
cast
it
into
the
fire
that
was
in
the pan
until
all
the roll
was
consumed
in
the
fire
that
was
in
the pan.
\VS{24}And
they
were
not
afraid,
nor rent
their
garments, [neither]
the
king
nor
any
of
his
servants
that
heard
all
these
words.
\VS{25}Moreover,
Elnathan
and
Delaiah
and
Gemariah
had
made intercession
to
the
king
that
he
would
not
burn
the roll;
but
he
would
not
hear
them.
\VS{26}And
the
king
commanded
Jerahmeel
the
son
of Hammelech,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Azriel,
and
Shelemiah
the
son
of
Abdeel,
to
take
Baruch
the
scribe
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet;
but
Jehovah
hid
them.
\VS{27}And
after
that
the
king
had
burned
the roll,
and
the
words
that
Baruch
wrote
at
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{28}Take thee
again
another roll,
and
write
in
it
all
the
former
words
that
were
in
the
first roll
which
Jehoiakim
the
king
of
Judah hath
burned.
\VS{29}And thou shalt
say
to
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou hast
burned
this roll,
saying,
Why hast thou
written therein,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
certainly
come
and
destroy
this
land,
and
shall cause
to
cease
from
it
man
and
beast?
\VS{30}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
concerning
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah:
He
shall
have
none
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
David;
and
his
dead
body
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
day
to
the heat,
and
in
the
night
to
the
frost.
\VS{31}And
I
will
visit
their
iniquity
upon
him,
and
upon
his
seed,
and
upon
his
servants;
and
I
will
bring
upon
them,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
and
upon
the
men
of
Judah,
all
the
evil
that
I
have
pronounced
against
them;
and
they
have
not hearkened.
\VS{32}And
Jeremiah
took
another roll,
and
gave
it
to
Baruch
the
scribe,
the
son
of Nerijah;
and
he
wrote therein
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
all
the
words
of
the
book
that
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
had
burned
in
the
fire;
and
there
were
added
besides unto
them
many
like
words.

\par }\Chap{37}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
king
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah
reigned
instead
of Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
having
made
him
king
in
the
land
of
Judah.
\VS{2}And
neither
he,
nor
his
servants,
nor
the
people
of
the
land, hearkened unto
the
words
of
Jehovah,
which
he
had
spoken
through
the
prophet
Jeremiah.
\VS{3}And
Zedekiah
the
king
sent
Jehucal
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
and
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
Pray
now unto
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 37:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
for
us.
\VS{4}And
Jeremiah
came
in
and
went
out
among
the
people;
for
they
had
not
put
him
into
prison.
\VS{5}And Pharaoh's
army
was
come
forth
out
of
Egypt;
and
when
the
Chaldeans
that besieged
Jerusalem
heard tidings
of
them,
they
went
up
from
Jerusalem.
\VS{6}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
saying,
\VS{7}Thus saith
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 37:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Thus
shall ye
say
to
the
king
of
Judah,
that
sent
you unto
me
to
inquire
of
me:
Behold, Pharaoh's
army, which
is
come
forth
to
help
you,
shall
return
to
Egypt
into
their own
land.
\VS{8}And
the
Chaldeans
shall
come
again,
and
fight
against
this
city,
and
take
it,
and
burn
it
with
fire.
\VS{9}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Deceive
not
yourselves,
saying,
The
Chaldeans
are
certainly
gone
away
from
us;
for
they
are
not
gone.
\VS{10}For
though ye
had
smitten
the
whole
army
of
the
Chaldeans
that
fight
against
you,
and
there
remained [but]
wounded
men
among
them, [yet]
should
they
rise
up
every
man
in
his
tent,
and
burn
this
city
with
fire.
\VS{11}And
it
came
to
pass
when
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
was
gone
up
from
Jerusalem
because
of Pharaoh's
army,
\VS{12}that
Jeremiah
went
forth
out
of
Jerusalem
to
go
into
the
land
of
Benjamin,
to
have
his portion
there
among
the
people.
\VS{13}And
when
he
was
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
a
captain
of
the
guard
was
there
whose
name
was
Irijah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Hananiah;
and
he laid
hold
on
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying, Thou art
deserting
to
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{14}And
Jeremiah
said,
It
is
false:
I am
not
deserting
to
the
Chaldeans.
But
he hearkened
not
to
him;
and
Irijah
laid
hold
on
Jeremiah,
and
brought
him
to
the
princes.
\VS{15}And
the
princes
were wroth
with
Jeremiah,
and
smote
him,
and
put
him
in
the
place
of confinement
in
the
house
of
Jonathan
the
scribe:
for
they
had
made
that
the
prison.
\VS{16}When
Jeremiah
was
come
into
the dungeon
and
into
the vaults,
and
Jeremiah
had
remained
there
many
days,
\VS{17}king
Zedekiah
sent
and
took
him
out.
And
the
king
asked
of
him secretly
in
his
house,
and
said,
Is
there
any
word
from
Jehovah?
And
Jeremiah
said,
There
is;
and
he
said, Thou shalt
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{18}And
Jeremiah
said unto
king
Zedekiah,
What
have
I
offended
against thee,
or
against thy
servants,
or
against
this
people,
that ye
have
put
me
in
the
prison?
\VS{19}And
where
are
your
prophets
that
prophesied unto
you,
saying,
The
king
of
Babylon
shall
not
come
against
you,
nor
against
this
land?
\VS{20}And
now
hear,
I
pray thee,
my
lord,
O
king:
let
my
supplication,
I
pray thee,
come
before thee;
and
cause
me
not
to
return
into
the
house
of
Jonathan
the
scribe, lest
I
die
there.
\VS{21}Then
Zedekiah
the
king
commanded,
and
they
committed
Jeremiah
into
the
court
of
the
guard,
and
they
gave
him
daily
a
loaf
of
bread
out
of
the bakers'
street,
until
all
the
bread
in
the
city
was
spent.
And
Jeremiah
abode
in
the
court
of
the
guard.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Shephatiah
the
son
of
Mattan,
and
Gedaliah
the
son
of Pashur,
and Jucal
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
and Pashur
the
son
of
Malchijah,
heard
the
words
that
Jeremiah
had
spoken unto
all
the
people,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus saith
Jehovah:
He
that remaineth
in
this
city
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
but
he
that goeth
forth
to
the
Chaldeans
shall
live;
and
he
shall
have
his
life
for
a prey,
and
shall
live.
\VS{3}Thus saith
Jehovah:
This
city
shall
certainly
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of Babylon's
army,
and
he
shall
take
it.
\VS{4}And
the
princes
said unto
the
king,
Let
this
man,
we
pray thee,
be
put
to
death;
for
why
should
he weaken
the
hands
of
the
men
of
war
that
remain
in
this
city,
and
the
hands
of
all
the
people,
in
speaking
to
them
according
to
these
words?
for
this
man seeketh
not
the
welfare
of
this
people,
but
the hurt.
\VS{5}And
king
Zedekiah
said,
Behold,
he
is
in
your
hand;
for
the
king
is
not
he
that
can
do
a
thing
against
you.
\VS{6}Then
they
took
Jeremiah,
and
cast
him
into
the dungeon
of
Malchijah
the
son
of Hammelech,
which
was
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
and
they
let
down
Jeremiah
with
cords.
And
in
the dungeon
there
was
no
water,
but
mire;
and
Jeremiah
sank
in
the
mire.
\VS{7}And
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
a
eunuch
who
was
in
the king's
house,
heard
that
they
had
put
Jeremiah
in
the dungeon —
now
the
king
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
\VS{8}—
and
Ebed-melech
went
forth
out
of
the king's
house,
and
spoke
to
the
king,
saying,
\VS{9}My
lord, O
king,
these
men
have
done
evil
in
all
that
they
have
done
to
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
whom
they
have
cast
into
the dungeon;
and
he
will
die
by
reason
of
the
famine
in
the
place
where
he
is;
for
there
is
no
more
bread
in
the
city.
\VS{10}And
the
king
commanded
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
saying,
Take
from hence
thirty
men
with thee,
and
take
up
Jeremiah
the
prophet
out
of
the dungeon,
before
he
die.
\VS{11}And
Ebed-melech
took
the
men
under
his
order,
and
went
into
the
house
of
the
king
under
the
treasury,
and
took thence old shreds
and
worn-out
clothes,
and
let
them
down
by
cords
into
the dungeon
to
Jeremiah.
\VS{12}And
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian
said
to
Jeremiah,
Put,
I
pray, [these] old shreds
and
rags
under thine armholes
under
the
cords.
And
Jeremiah
did
so.
\VS{13}And
they
drew
up
Jeremiah
with
cords,
and
brought
him
up
out
of
the dungeon;
and
Jeremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
\VS{14}And
king
Zedekiah
sent
and
took
the
prophet
Jeremiah unto
him,
into
the
third
entry
that
is
in
the
house
of
Jehovah;
and
the
king
said unto
Jeremiah,
I
will
ask thee
a
thing:
hide
nothing
from
me.
\VS{15}And
Jeremiah
said unto
Zedekiah,
If
I
declare [it] unto thee, wilt thou
not
certainly
put
me
to
death?
and
if
I
give thee
counsel, thou wilt
not hearken unto
me.
\VS{16}And
king
Zedekiah
swore secretly unto
Jeremiah,
saying, [As]
Jehovah liveth,
that
made
us
this
soul,
I
will
not
put thee
to
death,
neither
will
I
give thee
into
the
hand
of
these
men
that
seek thy
life.
\VS{17}And
Jeremiah
said unto
Zedekiah,
Thus saith
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 38:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 38:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
If thou wilt freely
go
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes,
then thy
soul
shall
live,
and
this
city
shall
not
be
burned
with
fire;
and thou shalt
live,
and thy
house.
\VS{18}But
if thou wilt
not
go
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes,
then
shall
this
city
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
they
shall
burn
it
with
fire,
and thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
their
hand.
\VS{19}And
king
Zedekiah
said unto
Jeremiah,
I
am afraid
of
the
Jews
that
have
deserted
to
the
Chaldeans,
lest
they
give
me
over
into
their
hand,
and
they mock
me.
\VS{20}And
Jeremiah
said,
They
shall
not
give [thee]
over. Hearken,
I
beseech thee, unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
in
that
which
I
speak unto thee;
so
shall
it
be
well unto thee,
and thy
soul
shall
live.
\VS{21}But
if thou
refuse
to
go
forth,
this
is
the
word
which
Jehovah hath shewn
me:
\VS{22}Behold,
all
the
women
that
are
left
in
the
king
of Judah's
house
shall
be
brought
forth
to
the
king
of Babylon's
princes;
and
they
shall
say, Thy familiar friends
have
set thee
on,
and
have
prevailed
over thee; thy
feet
are
sunk
in
the
mire,
they
are
turned
away
back.
\VS{23}And
they
shall
bring
out
all thy
wives
and thy
children
to
the
Chaldeans,
and thou shalt
not
escape
out
of
their
hand;
for thou shalt
be
taken
by
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and thou shalt cause
this
city
to
be
burned
with
fire.
\VS{24}And
Zedekiah
said unto
Jeremiah,
Let
no
man
know
of
these
words,
and thou shalt
not
die.
\VS{25}And
if
the
princes
hear
that
I
have
talked
with thee,
and
they
come unto thee,
and
say unto thee,
Declare unto
us
now
what thou hast
said unto
the
king,
hide
it
not
from
us,
and
we
will
not
put thee
to
death;
and
what hath
the
king
said unto thee?
\VS{26}then thou shalt
say unto
them,
I presented
my
supplication
before
the
king,
that
he
would
not
cause
me
to
return
to Jonathan's
house,
to
die
there.
\VS{27}—
And
all
the
princes
came
to
Jeremiah,
and
asked
him;
and
he
told
them
according
to
all
these
words
that
the
king
had
commanded.
And
they withdrew quietly
from
him;
for
the
matter
was
not
reported.
\VS{28}And
Jeremiah
remained
in

court

guard

taken.

by
night,
by
the
way
of
the king's
garden,
by
the
gate
between
the
two
walls;
and
he
went
out
the
way
of
the
plain.
\VS{5}And
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
pursued
after
them,
and
overtook
Zedekiah
in
the
plains
of
Jericho;
and
they
took
him,
and
brought
him
up
to
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon, unto
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath;
and
he
pronounced
judgment
upon
him.
\VS{6}And
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
in
Riblah
before
his
eyes,
and
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
all
the
nobles
of
Judah;
\VS{7}and
he
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass,
to
carry
him
to
Babylon.
\VS{8}And
the
Chaldeans
burned
the king's
house
and
the
houses
of
the
people
with
fire,
and
broke
down
the
walls
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{9}And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
into
Babylon
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
the
deserters
that
had
deserted
to
him,
with
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left.
\VS{10}But Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
left [certain]
of
the
people,
the
poor
who
had
nothing,
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
gave
them
vineyards
and
fields
at
the
same
time.
\VS{11}And
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
given
charge
concerning
Jeremiah
by Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard,
saying,
\VS{12}Take
him,
and
keep
an
eye
upon
him,
and
do
him
no
harm;
but
do unto
him
even
as
he
shall
say unto thee.
\VS{13}So Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
sent,
and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain,
and
Nergal-sharezer, chief magian,
and
all
the
king
of Babylon's princes,
\VS{14}even
they
sent,
and
took
Jeremiah
out
of
the
court
of
the
guard
and
committed
him
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
that
he
should conduct
him
away
home.
And
he
dwelt
among
the
people.
\VS{15}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came unto
Jeremiah,
while
he
was
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
saying,
\VS{16}Go
and
speak
to
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 39:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
my
words
upon
this
city
for
evil,
and
not
for
good,
and
they
shall
come
to
pass
before thy
face
in
that
day.
\VS{17}And
I
will
deliver thee
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah;
and thou shalt
not
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
men
of
whom thou art afraid;
\VS{18}for
I
will
certainly
save thee,
and thou shalt
not
fall
by
the
sword,
but thou shalt
have thy
life
for
a prey;
for thou hast
put thy
confidence
in
me, saith
Jehovah.

\par }\Chap{40}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
Jehovah,
after
that Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
had
let
him
go
from
Ramah,
when
he
had
taken
him,
being
bound
in
chains,
among
all
the
captivity
of
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
that
were
carried
away
captive
to
Babylon.
\VS{2}And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
Jeremiah,
and
said unto
him,
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 40:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
pronounced
this
evil
upon
this
place,
\VS{3}and
Jehovah hath
brought [it
about]
and
done according
as
he
said;
for ye
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
and
have
not hearkened unto
his
voice,
therefore
this
thing
is
come
upon
you.
\VS{4}And
now,
behold,
I
loose thee
this
day
from
the
chains
that
are
upon thy
hand.
If
it
seem
good
in thy
sight
to
come
with
me
to
Babylon,
come,
and
I
will
keep
mine
eye
upon thee;
but
if
it
seem ill unto thee
to
come
with
me
to
Babylon, forbear.
See,
all
the
land
is
before thee: whither
it seemeth
good
and
right
in thy
sight
to
go, thither
go.
\VS{5}And
while
he
had
not
yet
given
answer; [he
said,] Yea,
go
back
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon hath
appointed
over
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
abide
with
him
in
the
midst
of
the
people;
or
go wheresoever
it seemeth
right
in thy
sight
to
go.
And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
gave
him
provisions
and
a
present,
and
let
him
go.
\VS{6}And
Jeremiah
came unto
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
to
Mizpah,
and
abode
with
him
among
the
people
that
remained
in
the
land.
\VS{7}And
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
in
the
fields,
they
and
their
men,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
over
the
land,
and
had
committed unto
him
men,
and
women,
and
children,
and
of
the poor
of
the
land,
of
them
that
had
not
been
carried
away
captive
to
Babylon.
\VS{8}And
they
came
to
Gedaliah
to
Mizpah; even
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
Johanan
and
Jonathan
the
sons
of
Kareah,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Tanhumeth,
and
the
sons
of
Ephai
the
Netophathite,
and
Jezaniah
the
son
of
a Maachathite,
they
and
their
men.
\VS{9}And
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
swore unto
them
and
to
their
men,
saying,
Fear
not
to
serve
the
Chaldeans:
dwell
in
the
land,
and
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
it
shall
be
well
with
you.
\VS{10}And
as
for
me,
behold,
I
dwell
at
Mizpah,
to
stand
before
the
Chaldeans,
who
will
come unto
us;
and ye,
gather
wine,
and
summer fruits,
and
oil,
and
put [them]
in
your
vessels,
and
dwell
in
your
cities
which ye
have
taken.
\VS{11}Likewise
all
the
Jews
that
were
in
Moab,
and
among
the
children
of
Ammon
and
in
Edom,
and
that
were
in
all
the
lands,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
left
a
remnant
in
Judah,
and
that
he
had
appointed
over
them
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan;
\VS{12}and
all
the
Jews
returned
out
of
all
the
places whither
they
had
been
driven,
and
came
to
the
land
of
Judah
to
Gedaliah, unto
Mizpah,
and
gathered
wine
and
summer fruits
in
great
abundance.
\VS{13}And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
in
the
fields,
came
to
Gedaliah unto
Mizpah,
\VS{14}and
said unto
him, Dost thou
indeed
know
that
Baalis
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon hath
sent
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
to
smite thee
to
death?
But
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
believed
them
not.
\VS{15}And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
spoke
to
Gedaliah
in
Mizpah secretly,
saying,
Let
me
go,
I
pray thee,
and
I
will
smite
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
and
no
man
shall
know
it:
why
should
he
take thy
life,
and
all
they
of
Judah
who
are
gathered unto thee
be
scattered,
and
the
remnant
of
Judah
perish?
\VS{16}But
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
said unto
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah, Thou shalt
not
do
this
thing;
for thou speakest
falsely
of
Ishmael.

\par }\Chap{41}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
month,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
the
son
of
Elishama,
of
the
royal
seed,
and [one]
of
the king's chief
men,
and
ten
men
with
him,
came
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam unto
Mizpah,
and
there
they
ate
bread
together,
in
Mizpah.
\VS{2}And
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
arose,
and
the
ten
men
that
were
with
him,
and
smote
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
with
the
sword,
and
killed
him,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
had
appointed
over
the
land.
\VS{3}And
Ishmael
smote
all
the
Jews
that
were
with
him,
with
Gedaliah,
at
Mizpah,
and
the
Chaldeans
that
were
found
there,
the
men
of
war.
\VS{4}And
it
came
to
pass
the
second
day
after
he
had
killed
Gedaliah,
and
no
man
knew
it,
\VS{5}that
there
came
men
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
eighty
men, having
their
beards shaven
and
their
clothes rent,
and having
cut themselves;
with oblations
and
incense
in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the
house
of
Jehovah.
\VS{6}And
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
went
forth
from
Mizpah
to
meet
them,
weeping
all
along
as
he
went;
and
it
came
to
pass
when
he
met
them,
he
said unto
them,
Come
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam.
\VS{7}And
it
was
so,
when
they
came
into
the
midst
of
the
city,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
he
and
the
men
that
were
with
him,
slew
them, [and cast
them]
into
the
midst
of
the
pit.
\VS{8}But
ten
men
were
found
among
them
that
said unto
Ishmael,
Do
not
kill
us,
for
we
have
hidden
stores
in
the
field,
of
wheat,
and
of
barley,
and
of
oil,
and
of
honey.
So
he forbore,
and
did
not
kill
them
among
their
brethren.
\VS{9}And
the
pit
into
which
Ishmael
had
cast
all
the
dead
bodies
of
the
men
whom
he
had
slain
by
the
side
of
Gedaliah
was
the
one
which
Asa
the
king
had
made
for fear
of
Baasha
king
of
Israel:
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
filled
it
with
the
slain.
\VS{10}And
Ishmael
carried
away
captive
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
that
were
in
Mizpah,
the king's
daughters,
and
all
the
people
that
remained
in
Mizpah,
whom Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
had
committed
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam:
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
carried
them
away
captive,
and departed
to
go
over
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
\VS{11}And
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
heard
of
all
the
evil
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
done;
\VS{12}and
they
took
all
the
men,
and
went
to
fight
with
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
found
him
by
the
great
waters
that
are
at
Gibeon.
\VS{13}And
it
came
to
pass
when
all
the
people
that
were
with

saw
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains

the
forces
that
were
with
him,
then
they
were
glad.
\VS{14}And
all
the
people
that
Ishmael
had
carried
away
captive
from
Mizpah
turned
about
and
came
back,

went
to
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah.

Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
escaped
from
Johanan
with
eight
men,

went
to
the

at Geruth-Chimham,
which
is
by
Bethlehem,
to
go
to
enter
into
Egypt,

I
repent

not

it
shall
be
that
all

that
have
set

thus saith

of

As mine
anger
and
my
fury
have
been
poured forth
upon

of

so
shall
my
fury
be
poured forth
upon

\VS{19}Jehovah hath
said
concerning

the
remnant
of
Judah,
Go ye
not
into
Egypt.
Know
certainly
that
I
have admonished
you
this
day.
\VS{20}For ye
deceived
yourselves
in
your

when ye
sent
me unto
Jehovah
your

saying,
Pray
for
us unto
Jehovah
our

and
according
to
all
that
Jehovah

shall
say,
so
declare unto
us,
and
we
will
do
it.
\VS{21}And
I
have
this
day
declared [it]
to
you;
but ye
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
Jehovah
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 42:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
nor
anything
for
which
he hath
sent

\VS{22}And
now
know
certainly
that ye
shall
die
by

by

by

desire
to
go

\par }\Chap{43}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to

when
Jeremiah
had
ended
speaking unto

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
with
which

had

\VS{2}—
then
spoke
Azariah

and
Johanan

saying
to

falsely:

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God hath
not
sent thee
to

Go

Baruch

into

of
the
Chaldeans,
that
they
may
put
us

death,

carry
us
away

\VS{4}So
Johanan
the
son

not unto

took
all
the

that
were

been
driven,
to sojourn
in
the

that Nebuzar-adan
the

of

which
they
have
committed
to
provoke

serve
other

which
they
knew
not,

rising
early

sending,
saying,
Oh,

off,
and
that ye
should
be
a

among
all
the
nations
of
the
earth?
\VS{9}Have ye
forgotten
the
wickedness

wickedness
of
their

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I

set

\VS{12}And
I

have
set
their

into

to sojourn
there,

they
shall
all
be

shall
they
fall;
they
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword [and]
by
the

from
the least
even unto
the
greatest;
they
shall
die
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine,
and
they
shall
be
an execration,
an astonishment,
and
a
curse,
and
a
reproach.
\VS{13}And
I
will
punish
them
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt
as
I
have
punished
Jerusalem,
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,

none
of
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
have

into

to sojourn
there,

remain,
so

to
return
into
the

of

they
have
a
desire
to
return
to
dwell
there;

shall
return
but
such
as
shall
escape.
\VS{15}Then
all
the
men
who
knew
that
their
wives
burned
incense
to
other
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 44:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods,
and
all
the
women
who
stood
by,
a
great assemblage,
even
all
the
people
that
dwelt
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
in
Pathros,
answered
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{16}[As
for]
the
word
that thou hast
spoken unto
us
in
the
name
of
Jehovah,
we
will
not hearken unto thee,
\VS{17}but
we
will
certainly
do
every
word
that
is
gone
forth
out
of
our
mouth,
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings
to
her,
as
we
have
done,
we
and
our
fathers,
our
kings
and
our
princes,
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem;
and
we
had
plenty
of
bread,
and
were
well,
and
saw
no
evil.
\VS{18}But
since
we
left
off
burning
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and pouring
out drink-offerings
to
her,
we
have wanted
everything,
and
have
been
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine.
\VS{19}And
when
we
burned
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens
and poured
out drink-offerings
to
her,
did
we
make
for
her
cakes
to portray
her,
and
pour
out drink-offerings
to
her,
without
our
husbands?
\VS{20}And
Jeremiah
said unto
all
the
people,
to
the
men,
and
to
the
women,
and
to
all
the
people
that
had given
him
that
answer,
saying,
\VS{21}Is
it
not
the
incense
that ye
burned
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem, ye
and
your
fathers,
your
kings
and
your
princes
and
the
people
of
the
land,
that
Jehovah
remembered,
and
that
came
into
his
mind?
\VS{22}And
Jehovah
could
no
longer
bear,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings, [and]
because
of
the
abominations
that ye
had
committed;
and
your
land
is
become
a
waste,
and
an astonishment,
and
a
curse,
without
inhabitant,
as
at
this
day.
\VS{23}Because ye
have
burned
incense,
and
because ye
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
and
have
not hearkened unto
the
voice
of
Jehovah,
nor
walked
in
his
law,
nor
in
his
statutes,
nor
in
his
testimonies;
therefore
this
evil hath
come
upon
you,
as
at
this
day.
\VS{24}And
Jeremiah
said unto
all
the
people,
and
to
all
the
women,
Hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah,
all
Judah
that
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt.
\VS{25}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 44:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel,
saying, Ye
and
your
wives
have both
spoken
with
your
mouths,
and
fulfilled
with
your
hands,
saying,
We
will
certainly
perform
our
vows
which
we
have
vowed,
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
the
heavens,
and
to
pour
out drink-offerings unto
her. Ye
will
certainly
establish
your
vows,
and entirely
perform
your
vows.
\VS{26}Therefore
hear ye
the
word
of
Jehovah,
all
Judah
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
Behold,
I
have
sworn
by
my
great
name, saith
Jehovah,
that
my
name
shall
no
more
be
named
in
the
mouth
of
any
man
of
Judah
in
all
the
land
of
Egypt,
saying, [As]
the
Lord
Jehovah liveth.
\VS{27}Behold,
I
will
watch
over
them
for
evil,
and
not
for
good;
and
all

men
of
Judah
that
are
in

shall
be
consumed
by

they
that
escape

shall
return
out

into

a
very small company;

there,

that
I
will
punish
you
in

place,
that ye
may
know
that

shall

\VS{18}[As]

of

surely
as
Tabor
among

mountains,
and
as
Carmel
by

so
shall
he
come.
\VS{19}Thou, inhabitress,
daughter
of
Egypt, furnish
for thyself
a captive's
baggage,
for Noph
shall
be
a
desolation
and
shall
be
ruined,
so
that
none
shall
dwell therein.
\VS{20}Egypt
is
a very fair
heifer;
the gad-fly cometh,
it cometh
from
the
north.
\VS{21}Also
her
hired men
in

are
like fatted bullocks;
for

have
turned
back,
they

fled
away
together,
they
did
not
stand;
for
the
day
of
their
calamity
is
come
upon
them,
the
time
of
their visitation.
\VS{22}Her
voice shall
go
like
a serpent's;
for
they shall march
with
an
army,
and
come
against
her
with
axes,
as
hewers
of
wood.
\VS{23}They
shall
cut
down
her
forest, saith
Jehovah,
though
it
be impenetrable;
for
they
are
more
than
the
locusts,
and
are
innumerable.

is
put
to shame; she
is

as
in

Jehovah.
\VS{27}But thou,
my

Jacob,
fear
not,

Israel:
for
behold,
I
will
save thee
from
afar,

Jehovah:
for
I
am
with thee;
for
I
will
make
a
full
end
of
all
the
nations whither
I
have
driven thee,
but
I
will
not
make
a

not hold thee
altogether guiltless.

Thus saith
Jehovah

the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:1 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Woe unto
Nebo!
for
it
is spoiled; Kirjathaim
is put
to shame,
it
is
taken; Misgab
is put
to shame
and
dismayed.
\VS{2}Moab's
praise
is
no
more;
in
Heshbon
they
have
devised
evil
against
her: Come,
and let
us
cut
her
off
from [being]
a
nation. Thou
also, O
Madmen, shalt
be
cut
down;
the
sword
shall
pursue thee.
\VS{3}A
voice
of
crying
from
Horonaim; wasting
and
great
destruction!
\VS{4}Moab
is destroyed;
her
little
ones
have caused
a
cry
to
be
heard.
\VS{5}For
by
the
ascent
of
Luhith
continual
weeping shall
go
up;
for
in
the
descent
of
Horonaim
is
heard
the anguish
of
the
cry
of
destruction.
\VS{6}Flee,
save
your
lives,
and
be
like
a shrub
in
the
wilderness.
\VS{7}For
because thou hast confided
in thy
works
and
in thy
treasures, thou
also shalt
be
taken,
and
Chemosh
shall
go
forth
into captivity,
his
priests
and
his
princes
together.
\VS{8}And
the waster
shall
come
upon
every
city,
that
not
a
city
shall
escape;
and
the
valley
shall
perish,
and
the
plateau
shall
be
destroyed:
as
Jehovah hath
said.
\VS{9}Give wings unto
Moab,
that
she
may
flee
and
get
away;
and
the
cities thereof
shall
become
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{10}Cursed
be
he
that doeth
the
work
of
Jehovah negligently,
and
cursed
be
he
that keepeth
back
his
sword
from

\VS{11}Moab hath
been

ease
from
his
youth,

on
his lees;
he hath
not
been emptied
from
vessel
to
vessel,
neither hath
he
gone
into captivity:
therefore
his
taste hath
remained
in
him,
and
his scent
is
not
changed.
\VS{12}Therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
send unto
him pourers
that
shall pour
him
off,
and
shall empty

shall
be
ashamed
of
Chemosh,
as
the

of
Israel
was
ashamed
of
Bethel,
their
confidence.
\VS{14}How do ye
say,
We
are
mighty,
and

of valour
for
the

broken,

down
from [thy]

sit
in
the drought, O inhabitress,
daughter
of
Dibon;
the spoiler
of
Moab
is
come
up
against thee, thy

destroyed.
\VS{19}Stand
by

and
watch, inhabitress

is put
to shame;
for
he
is broken
down:
howl
and
cry;
tell
it
in
Arnon,
that
Moab
is laid
waste.
\VS{21}And
judgment
is
come
upon
the
country
of

upon

and
upon
Jahzah,
and
upon
Mephaath;

upon Kerijoth,
and
upon
Bozrah,
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
the

of
Moab,
far
and
near.
\VS{25}The
horn
of
Moab
is
cut
off,
and
his
arm
is
broken, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{26}Make
him drunken,
for
he
magnified
himself
against
Jehovah;
and
Moab
shall
wallow
in
his
vomit,
and
he
also
shall
be
in derision.
\VS{27}For
was
not
Israel
a derision unto thee?
Was
he
found
among
thieves,
that
as oft
as thou didst
speak
of
him, thou didst
shake
the head?
\VS{28}Leave
the
cities,
and
dwell
in
the
rocks, ye
inhabitants
of
Moab,
and
be
like
the
dove,
that maketh
her
nest
in
the
sides
of
the cave's
mouth.
\VS{29}We
have
heard
of
the
arrogance
of
Moab, — [he
is]
very
proud; —
his
loftiness,
and
his
arrogance,
and
his
pride,
and
the
haughtiness
of
his
heart.
\VS{30}I
know
his
wrath, saith
Jehovah;
his pratings
are vain:
they
do
not
as [they say].
\VS{31}Therefore
will
I
howl
for
Moab,
and
I
will
cry
out
for
all
Moab:
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres
shall
there
be moaning.
\VS{32}O
vine
of
Sibmah,
I
will
weep
for thee
with
more
than
the
weeping
of Jaazer: thy shoots
passed
over
the
sea,
they
reached
to
the
sea
of Jaazer.
The spoiler
is
fallen
upon thy
summer fruits
and
upon thy
vintage.
\VS{33}And
joy
and
gladness
is
taken
away
from
the
fruitful
field
and
from
the
land
of
Moab;
and
I
have caused
wine
to
fail
from
the
winepresses:
they
shall
no
more
tread
with
shouting;
the
shouting
shall
be
no
shouting.
\VS{34}Because
of
the
cry
from
Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto
Jahaz
have
they
uttered
their
voice,
from
Zoar unto
Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah:
for
even
the
waters
of
Nimrim
shall
become desolations.
\VS{35}And
I
will cause
to
cease
in
Moab, saith
Jehovah,
him
that offereth
in
the
high
place,
and
him
that burneth
incense
to
his
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 48:35 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods.
\VS{36}Therefore
my
heart
shall sound
for
Moab
like pipes,
and
my
heart
shall sound
like pipes
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres;
because
the
abundance
that
he hath gotten
is
perished.
\VS{37}For
every
head
is
bald,
and
every
beard clipped;
upon
all
the
hands
are cuttings,
and
upon
the
loins
sackcloth.
\VS{38}It
is
wholly
lamentation
upon
all
the
housetops
of
Moab,
and
in
the public
places thereof;
for
I
have
broken
Moab,
like
a
vessel wherein
is
no
pleasure, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{39}They
howl,
How
is
it broken down!
how hath
Moab
turned
the
back
with
shame!
And
Moab shall
be
a derision
and
a
terror
to
all
that
are
round
about
him.
\VS{40}For
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
he
shall
fly
as
an
eagle,
and
shall
spread forth
his
wings
over
Moab.
\VS{41}Kerijoth
is
taken,
and
the
strongholds
are
seized,
and
at
that
day
the
heart
of
the
mighty
men
of
Moab
shall
be
as
the
heart
of
a
woman
in
her pangs.
\VS{42}And
Moab
shall
be
destroyed
from being
a
people,
because
he hath
magnified
himself
against
Jehovah.
\VS{43}Fear,
and
the
pit,
and
the
snare
shall
be
upon thee,
O
inhabitant
of
Moab, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{44}He
that fleeth
from
the
fear
shall
fall
into
the
pit;
and
he
that getteth
up
out
of
the
pit
shall
be
taken
in
the
snare:
for
I
will
bring
upon
her,
upon
Moab,
the
year
of
their visitation, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{45}They
that
fled
stood under
the
shadow
of
Heshbon powerless;
for
a
fire hath
come
forth
from
Heshbon,
and
a
flame
from
the
midst
of
Sihon,
and hath
consumed
the
corner
of
Moab,
and
the
crown
of
the
head
of

sons
of
tumult.
\VS{46}Woe
to thee,
Moab!
The
people
of
Chemosh
is undone;
for thy
sons
are
taken
away
in
captivity,
and thy
daughters
are
captives.
\VS{47}But
I

perished

they
not

If

destroy

\VS{10}But
I

bare,

not.

will
preserve

thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
they
whose

was

drink
of

cup
shall assuredly
drink;
and thou
indeed, shouldest thou
be altogether
unpunished? Thou shalt
not
go

surely
drink.

have
sworn

shall
become

a
reproach,
a
waste,
and
a
curse;
and
all
the
cities thereof
shall
be
perpetual
wastes.
\VS{14}I

is
sent
among

Gather
yourselves
together,

and
rise
up
for
the
battle.
\VS{15}For
behold,
I
have
made thee
small
among

despised
among
men.

the
pride
of thy

Though thou shouldest
make thy

high

purposed
against

The

shall
certainly draw
them away;

certainly
make

desolate

them.

and
concerning
the
kingdoms
of
Hazor,
which
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
smote.
Thus saith
Jehovah:
Arise,
go
up
to
Kedar,
and spoil
the
men
of
the
east.
\VS{29}Their
tents
and
their
flocks
shall
they
take;
their
curtains
and
all
their
vessels,
and
their
camels,
shall
they
carry
away
for
themselves;
and
they
shall
cry unto
them,
Terror
on
every
side!
\VS{30}Flee,
wander
very
far,
dwell
deep
down, ye
inhabitants
of
Hazor, saith
Jehovah;
for
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon hath
taken
counsel
against
you,
and hath conceived
a
purpose
against
you.
\VS{31}Arise,
get
you
up
against
the
nation
at
ease,
that dwelleth
securely, saith
Jehovah,
which hath
neither
gates
nor
bars:
they
dwell
alone.
\VS{32}And
their
camels
shall
be
a
booty,
and
the
multitude
of
their
cattle
a
spoil;
and
I
will
scatter
to
every
wind
them
that
have
the
corners [of
their beard]
cut
off,
and
I
will
bring
their
calamity
from
all
sides thereof, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{33}And
Hazor
shall
be
a dwelling-place
of
jackals,
a
desolation
for
ever.
No
one
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
a
son
of
man sojourn therein.
\VS{34}The
word
of
Jehovah
that
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet
concerning
Elam,
in
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
\VS{35}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Elam,
the chief
of
their
might.
\VS{36}And
upon
Elam
will
I
bring
the
four
winds,
from
the
four
ends
of
the
heavens,
and
I
will
scatter
them
toward
all
those
winds;
and
there
shall
be
no
nation whither
the
outcasts
of
Elam
shall
not
come.
\VS{37}And
I
will cause
Elam
to
be
dismayed
before
their
enemies,
and
before
them
that
seek
their
life;
and
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them,
my
fierce
anger, saith
Jehovah;
and
I
will
send
the
sword
after
them,
till
I
have
consumed
them.
\VS{38}And
I
will
set
my
throne
in
Elam,
and
will
destroy
from thence
king
and
princes, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{39}But
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
the
end
of
the
days,
I
will
turn
the
captivity
of
Elam, saith
Jehovah.

\par }\Chap{50}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
Jehovah
spoke
concerning
Babylon,
concerning
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
through
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
\VS{2}Declare ye among
the
nations,
and publish,
and
lift
up
a
banner; publish,
conceal
not!
Say,
Babylon
is
taken,
Bel
is
put
to shame, Merodach
is
dismayed:
her
images
are
put
to shame,
her
idols
are
dismayed.
\VS{3}For
out
of
the
north
there cometh
up
a
nation
against
her,
which
shall
make
her
land
desolate,
and
none
shall
dwell therein:
both
man
and
beast
are
fled;
they
are
gone.
\VS{4}In
those
days,
and
at
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
the
children
of
Israel
shall
come,
they
and
the
children
of
Judah
together,
going
and
weeping
as
they
go,
and
shall
seek
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{5}They
shall
inquire
concerning
Zion,
with
their
faces thitherward, [saying,]
Come,
and
let
us
join ourselves
to
Jehovah,
in
an
everlasting
covenant
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
\VS{6}My
people
are
lost
sheep;
their
shepherds
have
caused
them
to
go
astray,
they
turned
them
away
on
the
mountains:
they
went
from
mountain
to
hill,
they
forgot
their resting-place.
\VS{7}All
that
found
them
devoured
them,
and
their adversaries
said,
We
are
not
guilty,
because
they
have
sinned
against
Jehovah,
the habitation
of
righteousness,
even
Jehovah,
the hope
of
their
fathers.
\VS{8}Flee
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,
and
go
forth
out
of
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
be
as
the he-goats
before
the
flock.
\VS{9}For
behold,
I
will
raise
and
cause
to
come
up
against
Babylon,
an assemblage
of
great
nations
from
the
north
country;
and
they
shall
set
themselves
in array
against
her:
from thence
shall
she
be
taken.
Their
arrows
shall
be
as
those
of
a
mighty expert
man:
none
shall
return
empty.
\VS{10}And
Chaldea
shall
be
a
spoil:
all
the spoilers thereof
shall
be
satiated, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{11}For ye
rejoiced,
for ye triumphed, ye
plunderers
of
my
heritage;
for ye
have been wanton
as
the
heifer at
grass,
and neighed
as
steeds.
\VS{12}Your
mother hath
been
sorely
put
to
shame;
she
that
bore
you hath
been
covered
with reproach:
behold, [she
is
become] hindmost
of
the
nations,
a
wilderness,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert.
\VS{13}Because
of
the
wrath
of
Jehovah,
it
shall
not
be
inhabited,
but
it
shall
be
wholly
desolate;
every
one
that goeth
by
Babylon
shall
be
astonished,
and
shall
hiss,
because
of
all
her
plagues.
\VS{14}Put
yourselves
in array
against
Babylon
round
about,
all ye
that
bend
the
bow;
shoot
at
her,
spare
no
arrows:
for
she hath
sinned
against
Jehovah.
\VS{15}Shout
against
her
round
about:
she hath
given
her
hand;
her ramparts
are
fallen,
her
walls
are
thrown
down:
for
this
is
the
vengeance
of
Jehovah.
Take
vengeance
upon
her;
as
she hath
done,
do unto
her.
\VS{16}Cut
off
the
sower
from
Babylon,
and
him
that handleth
the
sickle
in
the
time
of
harvest.
For fear
of
the
oppressing
sword
let
them
turn
every
one
to
his
people,
and
let
them
flee
every
one
to
his
own
land.
\VS{17}Israel
is
a
hunted
sheep;
the
lions
have
driven
him
away:
first
the
king
of
Assyria
devoured
him,
and
last
this
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon hath broken
his bones.
\VS{18}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
visit
the
king
of
Babylon
and
his
land,
like
as
I
have
visited
the
king
of
Assyria.
\VS{19}And
I
will
bring
Israel
again
to
his pasture,
and
he
shall
feed
on
Carmel
and
Bashan,
and
his
soul
shall
be
satisfied
upon
mount
Ephraim
and
in
Gilead.
\VS{20}In
those
days,
and
at
that
time, saith
Jehovah,
the
iniquity
of
Israel
shall
be
sought
for,
and
there
shall
be
none;
and
the
sins
of
Judah,
and
they
shall
not
be
found:
for
I
will
pardon
those
whom
I
leave
remaining.
\VS{21}Go
up
against
the
land
of double rebellion,
against
it,
and
against
the
inhabitants
of visitation; waste
and utterly
destroy
after
them, saith
Jehovah,
and
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded thee.
\VS{22}A
sound
of
battle
is
in
the
land,
and
great
destruction.
\VS{23}How
is
the
hammer
of
the
whole
earth
cut
asunder
and
broken!
How
is
Babylon
become
an astonishment
among
the
nations!
\VS{24}I
have laid
a
snare
for thee,
and thou,
Babylon, art
also
taken,
and thou wast
not
aware; thou art
found,
and
also
caught,
for thou hast contended
with
Jehovah.
\VS{25}Jehovah hath
opened
his armoury,
and hath
brought
forth
the
weapons
of
his
indignation;
for
this
is
a
work
for
the
Lord,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{26}Come ye
against
her
from
every quarter,
open
her storehouses;
pile
her
up
like sheaves,
and
destroy
her utterly:
let
nothing
of
her
be
left.
\VS{27}Slay
all
her bullocks;
let
them
go
down
to
the
slaughter:
woe unto
them!
for
their
day
is
come,
the
time
of
their visitation.
\VS{28}The
voice
of
them
that
flee
and
escape
out
of
the
land
of
Babylon,
to
declare
in
Zion
the
vengeance
of
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:28 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
\VS{29}Call
together
the
archers
against
Babylon,
all
those
that
bend
the
bow:
encamp
against
her
round
about;
let
there
be
no escaping: recompense
her
according
to
her
work;
according
to
all
that
she hath
done,
do unto
her:
for
she hath
acted
proudly
against
Jehovah,
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
\VS{30}Therefore
shall
her
young
men
fall
in
her
streets;
and
all
her
men
of
war
shall
be cut off
in
that
day, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{31}Behold,
I
am
against thee, proud
one, saith
the
Lord Jehovah
of
hosts;
for thy
day
is
come,
the
time
that
I
visit thee:
\VS{32}and
the proud
one
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
none
shall
raise
him
up; yea,
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
all
that
are
round
about
him.
\VS{33}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
The
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
were
together
oppressed;
and
all
that
took
them
captives
held
them
fast:
they
refused
to
let
them
go.
\VS{34}Their
Redeemer
is
strong;
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
his
name:
he
will thoroughly
plead
their
cause,
that
he
may give
rest
to
the
land,
and disquiet
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
\VS{35}The
sword
is
upon
the
Chaldeans, saith
Jehovah,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon,
and
upon
her
princes,
and
upon
her
wise
men;
\VS{36}the
sword
is
upon
the liars,
and
they
shall
become
fools;
the
sword
is
upon
her
mighty
men,
and
they
shall
be
dismayed;
\VS{37}the
sword
is
upon
their
horses,
and
upon
their
chariots,
and
upon
all
the
mingled
people
that
are
in
the
midst
of
her,
and
they
shall
become
as
women;
the
sword
is
upon
her
treasures,
and
they
shall
be robbed:
\VS{38}a drought
is
upon
her
waters,
and
they
shall
be
dried
up;
for
it
is
a
land
of
graven
images,
and
they
are mad
after frightful
idols.
\VS{39}Therefore wild beasts
of
the desert
with
jackals
shall
dwell
there,
and
ostriches
shall
dwell therein;
and
it
shall
be
no
more
inhabited
for
ever,
neither
shall
it
be
dwelt
in
from
generation
to
generation.
\VS{40}As
when
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 50:40 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
overthrew
Sodom
and
Gomorrah,
and
their neighbour cities, saith
Jehovah,
no
one
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
a
son
of
man sojourn therein.
\VS{41}Behold,
a
people cometh
from
the
north,
and
a
great
nation.
And
many
kings
shall
arise
from
the uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
\VS{42}They lay
hold
of
bow
and
spear;
they
are
cruel,
and
will
not shew
mercy;
their
voice roareth
like
the
sea,
and
they
ride
upon
horses — set
in
array
like
a
man
for
the
battle,
against thee, O
daughter
of
Babylon.
\VS{43}The
king
of
Babylon hath
heard
the
report
of
them,
and
his
hands wax
feeble;
trouble hath
taken
hold
of
him, pangs
as
of
a woman
in travail.
\VS{44}Behold,
he
shall
come
up
like
a
lion
from
the swelling
of
the
Jordan
against
the strong habitation;
for
I
will
make
him
suddenly
run
away
from
it;
and
who
is
a chosen [man]
whom
I
may
appoint
over
her?
For
who
is
like
me?
and
who
will
assign
me
a time?
and
who
is
that
shepherd
that
will
stand
before
me?
\VS{45}Therefore
hear
the
counsel
of
Jehovah,
which
he hath taken
against
Babylon,
and
his
purposes
which
he hath
purposed
against
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans:
The
little
ones
of
the
flock
shall
certainly draw
them away;
he
shall
certainly
make
their habitation
desolate
for
them.
\VS{46}At
the
sound
of
the taking
of
Babylon
the
earth hath
quaked,
and
the
cry
is
heard
among
the
nations.

\par }\Chap{51}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I

raise
up
against
Babylon,
and
against
them
that
dwell
in
the
heart
of
those
that
rise
against
me,
a
destroying
wind;
\VS{2}and
I
will
send unto
Babylon
strangers,
who
shall fan
her,
and
shall empty
her
land:
for
in
the
day
of
trouble
they
shall
be
against
her
round
about.

and
against

that lifteth
himself
up

not
forsaken,
nor
Judah

of
Jehovah
of
hosts;
for
their
land
is
full
of
guilt against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
\VS{6}Flee
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,

save
every
man
his
life;
be ye
not cut
off
in
her
iniquity:
for
this
is
the
time
of Jehovah's
vengeance:
he
shall render unto
her
a recompence.
\VS{7}Babylon hath
been
a
golden
cup
in Jehovah's
hand,
that
made
all
the
earth drunken:
the
nations
have
drunk
of
her
wine;
therefore
have
the
nations
become mad.
\VS{8}Babylon
is
suddenly
fallen
and ruined.
Howl
over
her;
take
balm
for
her
pain,
if
so
be she
may
be
healed.

have treated
Babylon,
but
she
is
not
healed:
forsake

is
lifted
up

Jehovah
our

\VS{11}Sharpen

Jehovah hath
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
the
kings
of
the
Medes;
for
his
purpose
is
against
Babylon,
to
destroy
it;
for

is
the

vengeance
of
his

up
a
banner towards
the
walls

make
the
watch
strong,
set
the
watchmen,
prepare
the
ambushes;
for
Jehovah hath
both devised
and
done
that
which
he
spoke
against
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
\VS{13}Thou
that dwellest
upon
many
waters,
abundant
in
treasures, thine
end
is
come,
the
measure
of thy rapacity.
\VS{14}Jehovah
of
hosts hath
sworn
by
himself,
I
will assuredly
fill thee
with
men,
as
with caterpillars;
and
they
shall raise
a
shout
against thee.
\VS{15}He hath
made
the
earth
by
his
power,
he hath
established
the
world
by
his
wisdom,
and hath
stretched
out
the

by
his
understanding.
\VS{16}When
he uttereth

voice,
there
is

waters
in

is
become brutish,
so

is
falsehood,

breath
in
them.

of
delusion:

and with thee
will
I break in pieces the husbandman
and his

of oxen;
and with thee
will
I break in pieces

will render unto

shall
not
take

be
desolate
for

banner
in
the
land,
blow
the
trumpet
among
the
nations,
prepare
nations
against
her;
call
together
against
her
the
kingdoms
of
Ararat,
Minni,
and
Ashkenaz;
appoint
a captain
against
her; cause
the
horses
to
come
up
as
the
bristly caterpillars.
\VS{28}Prepare
nations
against
her,
the
kings
of
the
Medes,
their
governors
and
all
their
rulers, yea,
all
the
land
of
their
dominion.
\VS{29}And
the
land trembleth
and
is
in pain;
for
the
purposes
of
Jehovah
against
Babylon
do
stand,
to
make
the
land
of
Babylon
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{30}The
mighty
men
of
Babylon
have
ceased
to
fight, they
are
sitting
in
the fortresses;
their
might hath
failed, they
are
become
as
women: they
have
set
her
dwelling
places
on
fire;
her
bars
are
broken.
\VS{31}Courier runneth
to
meet
courier,
and
messenger
to
meet
messenger,
to
announce
to
the
king
of
Babylon
that
his
city
is
taken
from
end
to
end;
\VS{32}and
the passages
are
seized,
and
the reedy places
are
burnt
with
fire,
and
the
men
of
war
are affrighted.
\VS{33}For
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 51:33 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel:
The
daughter
of
Babylon
is
like
a threshing-floor,
at
the
time
of
its
being
trodden;
yet
a
little
while,
and
the
time
of
harvest
shall
come
for
her.
\VS{34}Nebuchadrezzar
the
king
of
Babylon hath
devoured
me,
he hath
crushed
me,
he hath
made
me an empty
vessel;
he hath
swallowed
me
up like
a
dragon,
he hath
filled
his belly
with
my delicates,
he hath cast
me out.
\VS{35}The
violence done
to
me
and
to
my
flesh
be
upon
Babylon,
shall
the inhabitress
of
Zion
say;
and,
My
blood
be
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Chaldea,
shall
Jerusalem
say.
\VS{36}Therefore
thus saith
Jehovah:
Behold,
I
will
plead thy
cause,
and
take
vengeance
for thee;
and
I
will
dry
up
her
sea,
and
make
her spring
dry.
\VS{37}And
Babylon
shall
become
heaps,
a dwelling-place
of
jackals,
an astonishment,
and
a
hissing,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{38}They shall
roar
together
like
young
lions,
growl as lions' whelps.
\VS{39}When
they
are heated,
I
will prepare
their
drink,
and
I
will
make
them drunken,
that
they
may
exult,
and
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{40}I
will
bring
them
down
like
lambs
to
the
slaughter,
like
rams
with he-goats.
\VS{41}How
is
Sheshach
taken!
and
how
is
the
praise
of
the
whole
earth
seized!
How
is
Babylon
become
an astonishment
among
the
nations!
\VS{42}The
sea
is
come
up
upon
Babylon: she
is
covered
with
the
multitude
of
its
waves.
\VS{43}Her
cities
are
become
a
desolation,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert,
a
land wherein
no
one dwelleth,
neither doth
a
son
of
man
pass thereby.
\VS{44}And
I
will
punish
Bel
in
Babylon,
and
I
will
bring
forth
out
of
his
mouth
what
he hath
swallowed
up;
and
the
nations
shall
not
flow
together
any
more unto
him: yea,
the
wall
of
Babylon
is
fallen.
\VS{45}Go ye
out
of
the
midst
of
her,
my
people,
and
deliver
every
man
his
soul
from
the
fierce
anger
of
Jehovah!
\VS{46}lest
your
heart
faint,
and ye
fear
for
the rumour
that
shall
be
heard
in
the
land;
for
a rumour
shall
come [one]
year,
and
after
that
a rumour
in [another]
year,
and
violence
in
the
earth,
ruler
against
ruler.
\VS{47}Therefore
behold,
days
are
coming
when
I
will
punish
the
graven
images
of
Babylon;
and
her
whole
land
shall
be
put
to
shame,
and
all
her
slain
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
her.
\VS{48}And
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
and
all
that
is therein,
shall
shout
aloud
over
Babylon;
for
out
of
the
north
the spoilers
shall
come
against
her, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{49}As
Babylon caused
the
slain
of
Israel
to
fall,
so
at
Babylon
shall
fall
the
slain
of
all
the
earth.
\VS{50}Ye
that
have escaped
the
sword,
go,
stand
not
still:
remember
Jehovah
from
afar,
and
let
Jerusalem
come
into
your
mind.
\VS{51}—
We
are
put
to
shame,
for
we
have
heard
reproach; confusion hath
covered
our
face:
for
strangers
are
come
into
the
sanctuaries
of Jehovah's
house.
\VS{52}—
Therefore
behold,
days
come, saith
Jehovah,
that
I
will
punish
her
graven
images;
and
throughout
her
land
the
wounded
shall
groan.
\VS{53}Though
Babylon
should
mount
up
to
the
heavens,
and
though
she
should
fortify
the
height
of
her
strength,
yet
from
me
shall spoilers
come unto
her, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{54}The
sound
of
a
cry [cometh]
from
Babylon,
and
great
destruction
from
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans;
\VS{55}for
Jehovah spoileth
Babylon,
and
he
will
destroy
out
of
her
the
great
voice;
and
their
waves
roar
like
great
waters,
the
noise
of
their
voice resoundeth.
\VS{56}For
the spoiler
is
come
against
her,
against
Babylon,
and
her
mighty
men
are
taken;
their
bows
are broken
in pieces;
for
Jehovah,
the
\FTNT{*}{{\FR 51:56 }

El|strong="H0410"}God
of recompences,
will
certainly requite.
\VS{57}And
I
will
make
drunk
her
princes,
and
her
wise
men,
her
governors,
and
her
rulers,
and
her
mighty
men;
and
they
shall
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake, saith
the
King,
whose
name
is
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{58}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
The
broad
walls
of
Babylon
shall
be utterly laid bare,
and
her
high
gates
shall
be
burned
with
fire;
so
that
the
peoples
will
have laboured
in vain,
and
the
nations
for
the
fire:
and
they
shall
be
weary.
\VS{59}The
word
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
commanded
Seraiah
the
son
of Nerijah,
the
son
of
Mahseiah,
when
he went
with
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah
to
Babylon
in
the
fourth
year
of
his
reign. Now
Seraiah
was
chief chamberlain.
\VS{60}And
Jeremiah
wrote
in
a
book
all
the
evil
that
should
come
upon
Babylon,
all
these
words
that
are
written
against
Babylon.
\VS{61}And
Jeremiah
said
to
Seraiah,
When thou comest
to
Babylon,
see
that thou
read
all
these
words;
\VS{62}and
say,
Jehovah, thou hast
spoken
concerning
this
place,
that thou wilt
cut
it
off,
so
that none
shall
dwell
in
it,
neither
man
nor
beast,
but
that
it
shall
be
desolate
for
ever.
\VS{63}And
it
shall
be,
when thou hast
ended
reading
this
book, [that] thou shalt
bind
a
stone
to
it,
and
cast
it
into
the
midst
of
the
Euphrates;
\VS{64}and shalt
say,
Thus
shall
Babylon
sink,
and
shall
not
rise,
because
of
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
it:
and
they
shall
be
weary.
Thus
far
the
words
of
Jeremiah.

\par }\Chap{52}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Zedekiah
was twenty-one
years
old
when
he began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem;
and
his mother's
name
was
Hamutal,
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
\VS{2}And
he
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah, according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
\VS{3}For,
because
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
against
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
from
his
presence,
Zedekiah
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{4}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
ninth
year
of
his
reign,
in
the
tenth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month, [that]
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
came,
he
and
all
his
army,
against
Jerusalem;
and
they
encamped
against
it,
and
built turrets
against
it
round
about.
\VS{5}And
the
city
was
besieged
until
the
eleventh
year
of
king
Zedekiah.
\VS{6}In
the
fourth
month,
on
the
ninth
of
the
month,
the
famine
prevailed
in
the
city,
and
there
was
no
bread
for
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{7}And
the
city
was
broken
into:
and
all
the
men
of
war
fled,
and
went
forth
out
of
the
city
by
night,
by
the
way
of
the
gate
between
the
two
walls,
which
was
by
the king's
garden (now
the
Chaldeans
were
near
the
city
round
about);
and
they
went
the
way
toward
the
plain.
\VS{8}And
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
pursued
after
the
king,
and
overtook
Zedekiah
in
the
plains
of
Jericho;
and
all
his
army
was
scattered
from
him.
\VS{9}And
they
took
the
king,
and
brought
him
up
to
the
king
of
Babylon, unto
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
and
he
pronounced
judgment
upon
him.
\VS{10}And
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
before
his
eyes;
and
he
slaughtered
also
all
the
princes
of
Judah
in
Riblah.
\VS{11}And
he
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah,
and
bound
him
with
chains
of
brass;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
carried
him
to
Babylon,
and
put
him
in
prison
till
the
day
of
his
death.
\VS{12}And
in
the
fifth
month,
on
the
tenth
of
the
month,
which
was
in
the nineteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon, Nebuzar-adan,
captain
of
the body-guard,
who
stood
before
the
king
of
Babylon,
came unto
Jerusalem;
\VS{13}and
he
burned
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the king's
house,
and
all
the
houses
of
Jerusalem;
and
every
great [man's]
house
he
burned
with
fire.
\VS{14}And
all
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
were
with
the
captain
of
the body-guard,
broke
down
all
the
walls
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
\VS{15}And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
of
the poorest sort
of
the
people,
and
the
rest
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
the
deserters
that
had
deserted
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
the
rest
of
the multitude.
\VS{16}But Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
left
of
the poor
of
the
land
for
vinedressers
and
for husbandmen.
\VS{17}And
the brazen
pillars
that
were
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and
the bases,
and
the brazen
sea
that
was
in
the
house
of
Jehovah,
the
Chaldeans
broke
up,
and
carried
all
the
brass thereof
to
Babylon.
\VS{18}The
pots
also,
and
the
shovels,
and
the knives,
and
the
bowls,
and
the cups,
and
all
the
vessels
of
brass wherewith
they
ministered,
they
took
away.
\VS{19}And
the basons
and
the
censers,
and
the
bowls,
and
the
pots,
and
the candlesticks,
and
the cups,
and
the goblets,
that
which
was
of
gold
in
gold,
and
that
which
was
of
silver
in
silver,
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
away.
\VS{20}The
two
pillars,
the
one
sea,
and
the
twelve brazen
oxen
that formed
the bases,
which
king
Solomon
had
made
for
the
house
of
Jehovah:
for
the
brass
of
all
these
vessels
there
was
no
weight.
\VS{21}And
as
to
the
pillars:
the
height
of
one
pillar
was
eighteen
cubits,
and
a
line
of
twelve
cubits encompassed
it;
and
the
thickness thereof
was
four
fingers:
it
was
hollow.
\VS{22}And
the
capital
upon
it
was
brass,
and
the
height
of
the
one
capital [was]
five
cubits;
and
the
network
and
the
pomegranates,
upon
the
capital
round
about,
all
of
brass;
and similarly
for
the
second
pillar,
and
the
pomegranates.
\VS{23}And
there
were
ninety-six
pomegranates
on
the [four]
sides;
all
the
pomegranates
upon
the
network
were
a
hundred
round
about.
\VS{24}And
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
Seraiah
the
chief
priest,
and
Zephaniah
the
second
priest,
and
the
three
doorkeepers.
\VS{25}And
out
of
the
city
he
took
a
eunuch
that
was
set
over
the
men
of
war,
and
seven
men
of
them
that
were
in
the king's
presence,
who
were
found
in
the
city,
and
the
scribe
of
the
captain
of
the
host,
who enrolled
the
people
of
the
land.
And
sixty
men
of
the
people
of
the
land
that
were
found
in
the
midst
of
the
city.
\VS{26}And Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
took
them,
and
brought
them
to
the
king
of
Babylon
to
Riblah;
\VS{27}and
the
king
of
Babylon
smote
them,
and
put
them
to
death
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath.
Thus
Judah
was
carried
away
captive
out
of
his
land.
\VS{28}This
is
the
people
whom
Nebuchadrezzar
carried
away
captive:
in
the
seventh
year
three
thousand
and twenty-three
Jews;
\VS{29}in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive]
from
Jerusalem
eight
hundred
and thirty-two
persons;
\VS{30}in
the
twenty-third
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan
the
captain
of
the body-guard
carried
away
captive
of
the
Jews
seven
hundred
and
forty-five
persons:
all
the
persons
were
four
thousand
six
hundred.
\VS{31}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the thirty-seventh
year
of
the captivity
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
in
the twelfth
month,
on
the twenty-fifth
of
the
month, [that]
Evil-Merodach
king
of
Babylon,
in
the
year
that
he
began
to
reign,
lifted
up
the
head
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
and
brought
him
forth
out
of
prison;
\VS{32}and
he
spoke
kindly unto
him,
and
set
his
seat
above
the
seat
of
the
kings
that
were
with
him
in
Babylon.
\VS{33}And
he changed
his
prison
garments;
and
he
ate
bread
before
him
continually
all
the
days
of
his
life;
\VS{34}and
his
allowance
was
a
continual
allowance
given
him
by
the
king
of
Babylon,
every
day
a
portion
until
the
day
of
his
death,
all
the
days
of
his
life.
