{\MTB THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
\par }{\MT JEREMIAH.

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
words
of
Jeremiah
the
son
of
Hilkiah,
of
the
priests
that
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Benjamin:
\VS{2}to
whom
the
word
of
the
LORD
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}Now
the
word
of
the
LORD
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
sanctified
thee;
I
have
appointed
thee
a
prophet
unto
the
nations.
\VS{6}Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord
GOD!
behold,
I
cannot
speak:
for
I
am
a
child.
\VS{7}But
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Say
not,
I
am
a
child:
for
to
whomsoever
I
shall
send
thee
thou shalt
go,
and
whatsoever
I
shall
command
thee
thou shalt
speak.
\VS{8}Be
not
afraid
because
of
them:
for
I
am
with
thee
to
deliver
thee,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{9}Then
the
LORD
put
forth
his
hand,
and
touched
my
mouth;
and
the
LORD
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}Moreover
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
Jeremiah,
what
seest
thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a
rod
of
an
almond
tree.
\VS{12}Then
said
the
LORD
unto
me,
Thou
hast
well
seen:
for
I
watch
over
my
word
to
perform
it.
\VS{13}And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me
the
second
time,
saying,
What
seest
thou?
And
I
said,
I
see
a
seething
caldron;
and
the
face
thereof
is
from
the
north.
\VS{14}Then
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Out
of
the
north
evil
shall
break
forth
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
\VS{15}For,
lo,
I
will
call
all
the
families
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
north,
saith
the
LORD;
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
utter
my
judgments
against
them
touching
all
their
wickedness;
in
that
they
have
forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense
unto
other
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
command
thee:
be
not
dismayed
at
them,
lest
I
dismay
thee
before
them.
\VS{18}For,
behold,
I
have
made
thee
this
day
a
defenced
city,
and
an
iron
pillar,
and
brasen
walls,
against
the
whole
land,
against
the
kings
of
Judah,
against
the
princes
thereof,
against
the
priests
thereof,
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
the
LORD,
to
deliver
thee.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{2}Go,
and
cry
in
the
ears
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
I
remember
for
thee
the
kindness
of
thy
youth,
the
love
of
thine
espousals;
how
thou
wentest
after
me
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
that
was
not
sown.
\VS{3}Israel
{\ADD{
was
}}holiness
unto
the
LORD,
the
firstfruits
of
his
increase:
all
that
devour
him
shall
be
held
guilty;
evil
shall
come
upon
them,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{4}Hear
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
house
of
Jacob,
and
all
the
families
of
the
house
of
Israel:
\VS{5}thus
saith
the
LORD,
What
unrighteousness
have
your
fathers
found
in
me,
that
they
are
gone
far
from
me,
and
have
walked
after
vanity,
and
are
become
vain?
\VS{6}Neither
said
they,
Where
is
the
LORD
that
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
that
led
us
through
the
wilderness,
through
a
land
of
deserts
and
of
pits,
through
a
land
of
drought
and
of
the
shadow
of
death,
through
a
land
that
none
passed
through,
and
where
no
man
dwelt?
\VS{7}And
I
brought
you
into
a
plentiful
land,
to
eat
the
fruit
thereof
and
the
goodness
thereof;
but
when
ye
entered,
ye
defiled
my
land,
and
made
mine
heritage
an
abomination.
\VS{8}The
priests
said
not,
Where
is
the
LORD?
and
they
that
handle
the
law
knew
me
not:
the
rulers
also
transgressed
against
me,
and
the
prophets
prophesied
by
Baal,
and
walked
after
things
that
do
not
profit.
\VS{9}Wherefore
I
will
yet
plead
with
you,
saith
the
LORD,
and
with
your
children’s
children
will
I
plead.
\VS{10}For
pass
over
to
the
isles
of
Kittim,
and
see;
and
send
unto
Kedar,
and
consider
diligently;
and
see
if
there
hath
been
such
a
thing.
\VS{11}Hath
a
nation
changed
{\ADD{
their
}}gods,
which
yet
are
no
gods?
but
my
people
have
changed
their
glory
for
that
which
doth
not
profit.
\VS{12}Be
astonished,
O
ye
heavens,
at
this,
and
be
horribly
afraid,
be
ye
very
desolate,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{13}For
my
people
have
committed
two
evils;
they
have
forsaken
me
the
fountain
of
living
waters,
and
hewed
them
out
cisterns,
broken
cisterns,
that
can
hold
no
water.
\VS{14}Is
Israel
a
servant?
is
he
a
homeborn
{\ADD{
slave}}?
why
is
he
become
a
prey?
\VS{15}The
young
lions
have
roared
upon
him,
and
yelled:
and
they
have
made
his
land
waste;
his
cities
are
burned
up,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{16}The
children
also
of
Noph
and
Tahpanhes
have
broken
the
crown
of
thy
head.
\VS{17}Hast
thou
not
procured
this
unto
thyself,
in
that
thou
hast
forsaken
the
LORD
thy
God,
when
he
led
thee
by
the
way?
\VS{18}And
now
what
hast
thou
to
do
in
the
way
to
Egypt,
to
drink
the
waters
of
Shihor?
or
what
hast
thou
to
do
in
the
way
to
Assyria,
to
drink
the
waters
of
the
River?
\VS{19}Thine
own
wickedness
shall
correct
thee,
and
thy
backslidings
shall
reprove
thee:
know
therefore
and
see
that
it
is
an
evil
thing
and
a
bitter,
that
thou
hast
forsaken
the
LORD
thy
God,
and
that
my
fear
is
not
in
thee,
saith
the
Lord,
the
LORD
of
hosts.
\VS{20}For
of
old
time
I
have
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
didst
bow
thyself,
playing
the
harlot.
\VS{21}Yet
I
had
planted
thee
a
noble
vine,
wholly
a
right
seed:
how
then
art
thou
turned
into
the
degenerate
plant
of
a
strange
vine
unto
me?
\VS{22}For
though
thou
wash
thee
with
lye,
and
take
thee
much
soap,
yet
thine
iniquity
is
marked
before
me,
saith
the
Lord
GOD.
\VS{23}How
canst
thou
say,
I
am
not
defiled,
I
have
not
gone
after
the
Baalim?
see
thy
way
in
the
valley,
know
what
thou
hast
done:
{\ADD{
thou
art
}}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
occasion
who
can
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
have
loved
strangers,
and
after
them
will
I
go.
\VS{26}As
the
thief
is
ashamed
when
he
is
found,
so
is
the
house
of
Israel
ashamed;
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
and
their
priests,
and
their
prophets;
\VS{27}which
say
to
a
stock,
Thou
art
my
father;
and
to
a
stone,
Thou
hast
brought
me
forth:
for
they
have
turned
their
back
unto
me,
and
not
their
face:
but
in
the
time
of
their
trouble
they
will
say,
Arise,
and
save
us.
\VS{28}But
where
are
thy
gods
that
thou
hast
made
thee?
let
them
arise,
if
they
can
save
thee
in
the
time
of
thy
trouble:
for
according
to
the
number
of
thy
cities
are
thy
gods,
O
Judah.
\VS{29}Wherefore
will
ye
plead
with
me?
ye
all
have
transgressed
against
me,
saith
the
LORD.
\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,
see
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD.
Have
I
been
a
wilderness
unto
Israel?
or
a
land
of
thick
darkness?
wherefore
say
my
people,
We
are
broken
loose;
we
will
come
no
more
unto
thee?
\VS{32}Can
a
maid
forget
her
ornaments,
or
a
bride
her
attire?
yet
my
people
have
forgotten
me
days
without
number.
\VS{33}How
trimmest
thou
thy
way
to
seek
love!
therefore
even
the
wicked
women
hast
thou
taught
thy
ways.
\VS{34}Also,
in
thy
skirts
is
found
the
blood
of
the
souls
of
the
innocent
poor:
I
have
not
found
it
at
the
place
of
breaking
in,
but
upon
all
these.
\VS{35}Yet
thou
saidst,
I
am
innocent;
surely
his
anger
is
turned
away
from
me.
Behold,
I
will
enter
into
judgment
with
thee,
because
thou
sayest,
I
have
not
sinned.
\VS{36}Why gaddest
thou
about
so
much
to
change
thy
way?
thou shalt
be
ashamed
of
Egypt
also,
as
thou wast
ashamed
of
Assyria.
\VS{37}From
him
also shalt
thou
go
forth,
with
thine
hands
upon
thine
head:
for
the
LORD
hath
rejected
thy
confidences,
and
thou shalt
not
prosper
in
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?
shall
not
that
land
be
greatly
polluted?
But
thou
hast
played
the
harlot
with
many
lovers;
yet
return
again
to
me,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{2}Lift
up
thine
eyes
unto
the
bare
heights,
and
see;
where
hast
thou
not
been
lain
with?
By
the
ways
hast
thou
sat
for
them,
as
an
Arabian
in
the
wilderness;
and
thou
hast
polluted
the
land
with
thy
whoredoms
and
with
thy
wickedness.
\VS{3}Therefore
the
showers
have
been
withholden,
and
there
hath
been
no
latter
rain;
yet
thou hadst
a
whore’s
forehead,
thou
refusedst
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
retain
{\ADD{
his
anger
}}for
ever?
will
he
keep
it
to
the
end?
Behold,
thou
hast
spoken
and
hast
done
evil
things,
and
hast
had
thy
way.
\VS{6}Moreover
the
LORD
said
unto
me
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
king,
Hast
thou
seen
that
which
backsliding
Israel
hath
done?
she
is
gone
up
upon
every
high
mountain
and
under
every
green
tree,
and
there
hath
played
the
harlot.
\VS{7}And
I
said
after
she
had
done
all
these
things,
She
will
return
unto
me;
but
she
returned
not:
and
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
saw
it.
\VS{8}And
I
saw,
when,
for
this
very
cause
that
backsliding
Israel
had
committed
adultery,
I
had
put
her
away
and
given
her
a
bill
of
divorcement,
yet
treacherous
Judah
her
sister
feared
not;
but
she
also
went
and
played
the
harlot.
\VS{9}And
it
came
to
pass
through
the
lightness
of
her
whoredom,
that
the
land
was
polluted,
and
she
committed
adultery
with
stones
and
with
stocks.
\VS{10}And
yet
for
all
this
her
treacherous
sister
Judah
hath
not
returned
unto
me
with
her
whole
heart,
but
feignedly,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{11}And
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Backsliding
Israel
hath shewn
herself
more
righteous
than
treacherous
Judah.
\VS{12}Go,
and
proclaim
these
words
toward
the
north,
and
say,
Return,
thou
backsliding
Israel,
saith
the
LORD;
I
will
not
look
in
anger
upon
you:
for
I
am
merciful,
saith
the
LORD,
I
will
not
keep
{\ADD{
anger
}}for
ever.
\VS{13}Only
acknowledge
thine
iniquity,
that
thou
hast
transgressed
against
the
LORD
thy
God,
and
hast
scattered
thy
ways
to
the
strangers
under
every
green
tree,
and
ye
have
not
obeyed
my
voice,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{14}Return,
O
backsliding
children,
saith
the
LORD;
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
mine
heart,
which
shall
feed
you
with
knowledge
and
understanding.
\VS{16}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
ye
be
multiplied
and
increased
in
the
land,
in
those
days,
saith
the
LORD,
they
shall
say
no
more,
The
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
LORD;
neither
shall
it
come
to
mind:
neither
shall
they
remember
it;
neither
shall
they
visit
it;
neither
shall
{\ADD{
that
}}be
done
any
more.
\VS{17}At
that
time
they
shall
call
Jerusalem
the
throne
of
the
LORD;
and
all
the
nations
shall
be
gathered
unto
it,
to
the
name
of
the
LORD,
to
Jerusalem:
neither
shall
they
walk
any
more
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
that
I
gave
for
an
inheritance
unto
your
fathers.
\VS{19}But
I
said,
How
shall
I
put
thee
among
the
children,
and
give
thee
a
pleasant
land,
a
goodly
heritage
of
the
hosts
of
the
nations?
and
I
said,
Ye
shall
call
me
My
father;
and
shall
not
turn
away
from
following
me.
\VS{20}Surely
as
a
wife
treacherously
departeth
from
her
husband,
so
have
ye
dealt
treacherously
with
me,
O
house
of
Israel,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{21}A
voice
is
heard
upon
the
bare
heights,
the
weeping
{\ADD{
and
}}the
supplications
of
the
children
of
Israel;
for
that
they
have
perverted
their
way,
they
have
forgotten
the
LORD
their
God.
\VS{22}Return,
ye
backsliding
children,
I
will
heal
your
backslidings,
Behold,
we
are
come
unto
thee;
for
thou
art
the
LORD
our
God.
\VS{23}Truly
in
vain
is
{\ADD{
the
help
that
is
looked
for
}}from
the
hills,
the
tumult
on
the
mountains:
truly
in
the
LORD
our
God
is
the
salvation
of
Israel.
\VS{24}But
the
shameful
thing
hath
devoured
the
labour
of
our
fathers
from
our
youth;
their
flocks
and
their
herds,
their
sons
and
their
daughters.
\VS{25}Let
us
lie
down
in
our
shame,
and
let
our
confusion
cover
us:
for
we
have
sinned
against
the
LORD
our
God,
we
and
our
fathers,
from
our
youth
even
unto
this
day:
and
we
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
the
LORD
our
God.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If
thou
wilt
return,
O
Israel,
saith
the
LORD,
unto
me shalt
thou
return:
and
if
thou
wilt
put
away
thine
abominations
out
of
my
sight,
then shalt
thou
not
be
removed;
\VS{2}and
thou shalt
swear,
As
the
LORD
liveth,
in
truth,
in
judgment,
and
in
righteousness;
and
the
nations
shall
bless
themselves
in
him,
and
in
him
shall
they
glory.
\VS{3}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
to
Jerusalem,
Break
up
your
fallow
ground,
and
sow
not
among
thorns.
\VS{4}Circumcise
yourselves
to
the
LORD,
and
take
away
the
foreskins
of
your
heart,
ye
men
of
Judah
and
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem:
lest
my
fury
go
forth
like
fire,
and
burn
that
none
can
quench
it,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings.
\VS{5}Declare
ye
in
Judah,
and
publish
in
Jerusalem;
and
say,
Blow
ye
the
trumpet
in
the
land:
cry
aloud
and
say?
Assemble
yourselves,
and
let
us
go
into
the
fenced
cities.
\VS{6}Set
up
a
standard
toward
Zion:
flee
for
safety,
stay
not:
for
I
will
bring
evil
from
the
north,
and
a
great
destruction.
\VS{7}A
lion
is
gone
up
from
his
thicket,
and
a
destroyer
of
nations;
he
is
on
his
way,
he
is
gone
forth
from
his
place;
to
make
thy
land
desolate,
that
thy
cities
be
laid
waste,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{8}For
this
gird
you
with
sackcloth,
lament
and
howl:
for
the
fierce
anger
of
the
LORD
is
not
turned
back
from
us.
\VS{9}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
at
that
day,
saith
the
LORD,
that
the
heart
of
the
king
shall
perish,
and
the
heart
of
the
princes;
and
the
priests
shall
be
astonished,
and
the
prophets
shall
wonder.
\VS{10}Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord
GOD!
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
from
the
bare
heights
in
the
wilderness
toward
the
daughter
of
my
people,
not
to
fan,
nor
to
cleanse;
\VS{12}a
full
wind
from
these
shall
come
for
me:
now
will
I
also
utter
judgments
against
them.
\VS{13}Behold,
he
shall
come
up
as
clouds,
and
his
chariots
{\ADD{
shall
be
}}as
the
whirlwind:
his
horses
are
swifter
than
eagles.
Woe
unto
us!
for
we
are
spoiled.
\VS{14}O
Jerusalem,
wash
thine
heart
from
wickedness,
that
thou
mayest
be
saved.
How
long
shall
thine
evil
thoughts
lodge
within
thee?
\VS{15}For
a
voice
declareth
from
Dan,
and
publisheth
evil
from
the
hills
of
Ephraim:
\VS{16}make
ye
mention
to
the
nations;
behold,
publish
against
Jerusalem,
{\ADD{
that
}}watchers
come
from
a
far
country,
and
give
out
their
voice
against
the
cities
of
Judah.
\VS{17}As
keepers
of
a
field
are
they
against
her
round
about;
because
she
hath
been
rebellious
against
me,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{18}Thy
way
and
thy
doings
have
procured
these
things
unto
thee;
this
is
thy
wickedness;
for
it
is
bitter,
for
it
reacheth
unto
thine
heart.
\VS{19}My
bowels,
my
bowels!
I
am
pained
at
my
very
heart;
my
heart
is
disquieted
in
me;
I
cannot
hold
my
peace;
because
thou
hast
heard,
O
my
soul,
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
the
alarm
of
war.
\VS{20}Destruction
upon
destruction
is
cried;
for
the
whole
land
is
spoiled:
suddenly
are
my
tents
spoiled,
{\ADD{
and
}}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
know
me
not;
they
are
sottish
children,
and
they
have
none
understanding:
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
void;
and
the
heavens,
and
they
had
no
light.
\VS{24}I
beheld
the
mountains,
and,
lo,
they
trembled,
and
all
the
hills
moved
to
and
fro.
\VS{25}I
beheld,
and,
lo,
there
was
no
man,
and
all
the
birds
of
the
heavens
were
fled.
\VS{26}I
beheld,
and,
lo,
the
fruitful
field
was
a
wilderness,
and
all
the
cities
thereof
were
broken
down
at
the
presence
of
the
LORD,
{\ADD{
and
}}before
his
fierce
anger.
\VS{27}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
The
whole
land
shall
be
a
desolation;
yet
will
I
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
I
have
not
repented,
neither
will
I
turn
back
from
it.
\VS{29}The
whole
city
fleeth
for
the
noise
of
the
horsemen
and
bowmen;
they
go
into
the
thickets,
and
climb
up
upon
the
rocks:
every
city
is
forsaken,
and
not
a
man
dwelleth
therein.
\VS{30}And
thou,
when
thou
art
spoiled,
what
wilt
thou
do?
Though
thou
clothest
thyself
with
scarlet,
though
thou
deckest
thee
with
ornaments
of
gold,
though
thou enlargest
thine
eyes
with
paint,
in
vain
dost
thou
make
thyself
fair;
{\ADD{
thy
}}lovers
despise
thee,
they
seek
thy
life.
\VS{31}For
I
have
heard
a
voice
as
of
a
woman
in
travail,
the
anguish
as
of
her
that
bringeth
forth
her
first
child,
the
voice
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
that gaspeth
for
breath,
that
spreadeth
her
hands,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Woe
is
me
now!
for
my
soul
fainteth
before
the
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
broad
places
thereof,
if
ye
can
find
a
man,
if
there
be
any
that
doeth
justly,
that
seeketh
truth;
and
I
will
pardon
her.
\VS{2}And
though
they
say,
As
the
LORD
liveth;
surely
they
swear
falsely.
\VS{3}O
LORD,
do
not
thine
eyes
look
upon
truth?
thou
hast
stricken
them,
but
they
were
not
grieved;
thou
hast
consumed
them,
but
they
have
refused
to
receive
correction:
they
have
made
their
faces
harder
than
a
rock;
they
have
refused
to
return.
\VS{4}Then
I
said,
Surely
these
are
poor:
they
are
foolish;
for
they
know
not
the
way
of
the
LORD,
nor
the
judgment
of
their
God:
\VS{5}I
will
get
me
unto
the
great
men,
and
will
speak
unto
them;
for
they
know
the
way
of
the
LORD,
and
the
judgment
of
their
God.
But
these
with
one
accord
have
broken
the
yoke,
and
burst
the
bands.
\VS{6}Wherefore
a
lion
out
of
the
forest
shall
slay
them,
a
wolf
of
the
evenings
shall
spoil
them,
a
leopard
shall
watch
over
their
cities,
every
one
that
goeth
out
thence
shall
be
torn
in
pieces:
because
their
transgressions
are
many,
{\ADD{
and
}}their
backslidings
are
increased.
\VS{7}How
can
I
pardon
thee?
thy
children
have
forsaken
me,
and
sworn
by
them
that
are
no
gods:
when
I
had
fed
them
to
the
full,
they
committed
adultery,
and
assembled
themselves
in
troops
at
the
harlots’
houses.
\VS{8}They
were
as
fed
horses
in
the
morning:
every
one
neighed
after
his
neighbour’s
wife.
\VS{9}shall
I
not
visit
for
these
things?
saith
the
LORD:
and
shall
not
my
soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
nation
as
this?
\VS{10}Go
ye
up
upon
her
walls,
and
destroy;
but
make
not
a
full
end:
take
away
her
branches:
for
they
are
not
the
LORD’S.
\VS{11}For
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
have
dealt
very
treacherously
against
me,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{12}They
have
denied
the
LORD,
and
said,
It
is
not
he;
neither
shall
evil
come
upon
us;
neither
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}Wherefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
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}Lo,
I
will
bring
a
nation
upon
you
from
far,
O
house
of
Israel,
saith
the
LORD:
it
is
a
mighty
nation,
it
is
an
ancient
nation,
a
nation
whose
language
thou
knowest
not,
neither
understandest
what
they
say.
\VS{16}Their
quiver
is
an
open
sepulchre,
they
are
all
mighty
men.
\VS{17}And
they
shall
eat
up
thine
harvest
and
thy
bread,
{\ADD{
which
}}thy
sons
and
thy
daughters
should
eat:
they
shall
eat
up
thy
flocks
and
thine
herds:
they
shall
eat
up
thy
vines
and
thy
fig
trees:
they
shall
beat
down
thy
fenced
cities,
wherein
thou
trustest,
with
the
sword.
\VS{18}But
even
in
those
days,
saith
the
LORD,
I
will
not
make
a
full
end
with
you.
\VS{19}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
ye
shall
say,
Wherefore
hath
the
LORD
our
God
done
all
these
things
unto
us?
then shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
Like
as
ye
have
forsaken
me,
and
served
strange
gods
in
your
land,
so
shall
ye
serve
strangers
in
a
land
that
is
not
yours.
\VS{20}Declare
ye
this
in
the
house
of
Jacob,
and
publish
it
in
Judah,
saying,
\VS{21}Hear
now
this,
O
foolish
people,
and
without
understanding;
which
have
eyes,
and
see
not;
which
have
ears,
and
hear
not:
\VS{22}Fear
ye
not
me?
saith
the
LORD:
will
ye
not
tremble
at
my
presence,
which
have
placed
the
sand
for
the
bound
of
the
sea,
by
a
perpetual
decree,
that
it
cannot
pass
it?
and
though
the
waves
thereof
toss
themselves,
yet
can
they
not
prevail;
though
they
roar,
yet
can
they
not
pass
over
it.
\VS{23}But
this
people
hath
a
revolting
and
a
rebellious
heart;
they
are
revolted
and
gone.
\VS{24}Neither
say
they
in
their
heart,
Let
us
now
fear
the
LORD
our
God,
that
giveth
rain,
both
the
former
and
the
latter,
in
its
season;
that
reserveth
unto
us
the
appointed
weeks
of
the
harvest.
\VS{25}Your
iniquities
have
turned
away
these
things,
and
your
sins
have
withholden
good
from
you.
\VS{26}For
among
my
people
are
found
wicked
men:
they
watch,
as
fowlers
lie
in
wait;
they
set
a
trap,
they
catch
men.
\VS{27}As
a
cage
is
full
of
birds,
so
are
their
houses
full
of
deceit:
therefore
they
are
become
great,
and waxen
rich.
\VS{28}They
are waxen
fat,
they
shine:
yea,
they
overpass
in
deeds
of
wickedness:
they
plead
not
the
cause,
the
cause
of
the
fatherless,
that
they
should
prosper;
and
the
right
of
the
needy
do
they
not
judge.

things?
saith
the

prophesy
falsely,
and

said,
Hew

down
trees,

cast
up
a
mount
against

this
is

she
is
wholly
oppression
in

midst

a
well

so
she
casteth
forth

spoil

instructed,
O
Jerusalem,

throughly
glean

turn
again

hand
as

is

no
delight

I
am
full

fury
of

I
am
weary
with
holding
in:
pour
it
out
upon
the
children
in

street,
and
upon

assembly
of
young
men
together:
for
even
the
husband
with
the
wife
shall
be

aged
with
him
that

full

houses
shall
be
turned

others,
their
fields
and
their
wives
together:
for
I
will
stretch
out
my
hand
upon
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,

the
LORD.
\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}They
have
healed
also
the
hurt
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace;
when
there
is
no
peace.
\VS{15}Were
they
ashamed
when
they
had
committed
abomination?
nay,
they
were
not

ashamed,

fall

Stand

where
is
the
good
way,
and
walk
therein,

ye
shall
find
rest
for

said,

set
watchmen
over

what
is
among

I
will
bring
evil
upon
this

fruit
of
their
thoughts,
because
they
have
not
hearkened
unto
my
words;
and
as
for
my

they
have
rejected
it.
\VS{20}To
what
purpose
cometh
there
to
me
frankincense
from
Sheba,
and
the
sweet
cane
from
a
far
country?
your
burnt
offerings
are
not
acceptable,
nor
your
sacrifices
pleasing
unto
me.

thus
saith

Behold,
I
will
lay
stumblingblocks
before
this
people:
and
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together
shall
stumble
against
them;

neighbour
and

shall
perish.

Behold,

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;
every
one
set
in
array,
as
a
man
to
the
battle,
against
thee,
O
daughter
of
Zion.
\VS{24}We
have
heard
the
fame
thereof;
our
hands
wax
feeble:
anguish
hath
taken
hold
of
us,
{\ADD{
and
}}pangs
as
of
a
woman
in
travail.
\VS{25}Go
not
forth
into
the
field,
nor
walk
by
the
way;
for
{\ADD{
there
is
}}the
sword
of
the
enemy,
{\ADD{
and
}}terror
on
every
side.
\VS{26}O
daughter
of
my
people,
gird
thee
with
sackcloth,
and
wallow
thyself
in
ashes:
make
thee
mourning,
as
for
an
only
son,
most
bitter
lamentation;
for
the
spoiler
shall
suddenly
come
upon
us.
\VS{27}I
have
made
thee
a
tower
{\ADD{
and
}}a
fortress
among
my
people;
that
thou
mayest
know
and
try
their
way.
\VS{28}They
are
all
grievous
revolters,
going
about
with
slanders;
they
are
brass
and
iron:
they
all
of
them
deal
corruptly.
\VS{29}The
bellows
blow
fiercely;
the
lead
is
consumed
of
the
fire:
in
vain
do
they
go
on
refining;
for
the
wicked
are
not
plucked
away.
\VS{30}Refuse
silver
shall
men
call
them,
because
the
LORD
hath
rejected
them.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{2}Stand
in
the
gate
of
the
LORD’S
house,
and
proclaim
there
this
word,
and
say,
Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
ye
of
Judah,
that
enter
in
at
these
gates
to
worship
the
LORD.
\VS{3}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
Amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
and
I
will
cause
you
to
dwell
in
this
place.
\VS{4}Trust
ye
not
in
lying
words,
saying,
The
temple
of
the
LORD,
the
temple
of
the
LORD,
the
temple
of
the
LORD,
are
these.
\VS{5}For
if
ye
throughly
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings;
if
ye
throughly
execute
judgment
between
a
man
and
his
neighbour;
\VS{6}if
ye
oppress
not
the
stranger,
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow,
and
shed
not
innocent
blood
in
this
place,
neither
walk
after
other
gods
to
your
own
hurt:
\VS{7}then
will
I
cause
you
to
dwell
in
this
place,
in
the
land
that
I
gave
to
your
fathers,
from
of
old
even
for
evermore.
\VS{8}Behold,
ye
trust
in
lying
words,
that
cannot
profit.
\VS{9}Will
ye
steal,
murder,
and
commit
adultery,
and
swear
falsely,
and
burn
incense
unto
Baal,
and
walk
after
other
gods
whom
ye
have
not
known,
\VS{10}and
come
and
stand
before
me
in
this
house,
which
is
called
by
my
name,
and
say,
We
are
delivered;
that
ye
may
do
all
these
abominations.
\VS{11}Is
this
house,
which
is
called
by
my
name,
become
a
den
of
robbers
in
your
eyes?
Behold,
I,
even
I,
have
seen
it,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{12}But
go
ye
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
the
LORD,
and
I
spake
unto
you,
rising
up
early
and
speaking,
but
ye
heard
not;
and
I
called
you,
but
ye
answered
not:
\VS{14}therefore
will
I
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,
even
the
whole
seed
of
Ephraim.
\VS{16}Therefore
pray
not
thou
for
this
people,
neither
lift
up
cry
nor
prayer
for
them,
neither
make
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
the
dough,
to
make
cakes
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out
drink
offerings
unto
other
gods,
that
they
may
provoke
me
to
anger.
\VS{19}Do
they
provoke
me
to
anger?
saith
the
LORD;
{\ADD{
do
they
}}not
{\ADD{
provoke
}}themselves,
to
the
confusion
of
their
own
faces?
\VS{20}Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD:
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
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Add
your
burnt
offerings
unto
your
sacrifices,
and
eat
ye
flesh.
\VS{22}For
I
spake
not
unto
your
fathers,
nor
commanded
them
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
concerning
burnt
offerings
or
sacrifices:
\VS{23}but
this
thing
I
commanded
them,
saying,
Hearken
unto
my
voice,
and
I
will
be
your
God,
and
ye
shall
be
my
people:
and
walk
ye
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
{\ADD{
their
own
}}counsels
{\ADD{
and
}}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,
I
have
sent
unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
daily
rising
up
early
and
sending
them:
\VS{26}yet
they
hearkened
not
unto
me,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but
made
their
neck
stiff:
they
did
worse
than
their
fathers.
\VS{27}And
thou shalt
speak
all
these
words
unto
them;
but
they
will
not
hearken
to
thee:
thou shalt
also
call
unto
them;
but
they
will
not
answer
thee.
\VS{28}And
thou shalt
say
unto
them,
This
is
the
nation
that
hath
not
hearkened
to
the
voice
of
the
LORD
their
God,
nor
received
instruction:
truth
is
perished,
and
is
cut
off
from
their
mouth.
\VS{29}Cut
off
thine
hair,
{\ADD{
O
Jerusalem}},
and
cast
it
away,
and
take
up
a
lamentation
on
the
bare
heights;
for
the
LORD
hath
rejected
and
forsaken
the
generation
of
his
wrath.
\VS{30}For
the
children
of
Judah
have
done
that
which
is
evil
in
my
sight,
saith
the
LORD:
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
came
it
into
my
mind.
\VS{32}Therefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
it
shall
no
more
be
called
Topheth,
nor
The
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
but
The
valley
of
Slaughter:
for
they
shall
bury
in
Topheth,
till
there
be
no
place
{\ADD{
to
bury}}.
\VS{33}And
the
carcases
of
this
people
shall
be
meat
for
the
fowls
of
the
heaven,
and
for
the
beasts
of
the
earth;
and
none
shall
fray
them
away.
\VS{34}Then
will
I
cause
to
cease
from
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
from
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
gladness,
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
the
LORD,
they
shall
bring
out
the
bones
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
bones
of
his
princes,
and
the
bones

spread
them
before
the
sun,

all
the

of
heaven,
whom
they
have
loved,
and
whom
they
have
served,
and
after
whom
they
have
walked,
and
whom
they
have
sought,
and
whom
they
have
worshipped:
they
shall
not
be
gathered,
nor
be
buried;
they
shall
be
for
dung
upon

evil
family,
which
remain
in
all
the
places
whither
I
have
driven

the
LORD
of
hosts.

thou shalt
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
shall
men
fall,
and
not
rise
up
again?
shall
one
turn
away,
and
not
return?
\VS{5}Why
then
is
this
people
of
Jerusalem
slidden
back
by
a
perpetual
backsliding?
they
hold
fast
deceit,
they
refuse
to
return.
\VS{6}I
hearkened
and
heard,
but
they
spake
not
aright:
no
man
repenteth
him
of
his
wickedness,
saying,
What
have
I
done?
every
one
turneth
to
his
course,
as
a
horse
that
rusheth
headlong
in
the
battle.
\VS{7}Yea,
the
stork
in
the
heaven
knoweth
her
appointed
times;
and
the
turtle
and
the
swallow
and
the
crane
observe
the
time
of
their
coming;
but
my
people
know
not
the
ordinance
of
the
LORD.
\VS{8}How
do
ye
say,
We
are
wise,
and
the
law
of
the
LORD
is
with
us?
But,
behold,
the
false
pen
of
the
scribes
hath
wrought
falsely.

men
are
ashamed,

are
dismayed
and
taken:
lo,
they
have
rejected
the
word
of
the
LORD;
and
what
manner
of
wisdom
is
in
them?
\VS{10}Therefore
will
I
give
their
wives
unto
others,
and
their
fields
to
them
that
shall
possess
them:
for
every
one
from
the
least
even
unto
the
greatest
is
given
to
covetousness,
from
the

even
unto
the
priest
every

dealeth
falsely.

they
have
healed
the
hurt
of
the
daughter
of
my
people
lightly,
saying,
Peace,
peace;
when
there
is
no
peace.
\VS{12}Were
they
ashamed
when
they
had
committed
abomination?
nay,
they
were
not
at
all
ashamed,
neither
could
they
blush:
therefore
shall
they
fall
among
them
that
fall:
in
the
time
of
their
visitation
they
shall
be
cast
down,

the

do
we
sit
still?
assemble
yourselves,
and
let
us
enter
into
the
defenced
cities,
and
let
us
be
silent
there:
for

hath
put
us
to
silence,
and
given
us
water
of
gall
to
drink,
because
we
have
sinned

not

Why

hurt:

black;
astonishment
hath
taken

mourning
women,
that
they
may
come;
and
send
for
the
cunning
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
gush
out
with
waters.
\VS{19}For
a
voice
of
wailing
is
heard
out
of
Zion,
How
are
we
spoiled!
we
are
greatly
confounded,
because
we
have
forsaken
the
land,
because
they
have
cast
down
our
dwellings.
\VS{20}Yet
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
ye
women,
and
let
your
ear
receive
the
word
of
his
mouth,
and
teach
your
daughters
wailing,
and
every
one
her
neighbour
lamentation.
\VS{21}For
death
is
come
up
into
our
windows,
it
is
entered
into
our
palaces;
to
cut
off
the
children
from
without,
{\ADD{
and
}}the
young
men
from
the
streets.
\VS{22}Speak,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
The
carcases
of
men
shall
fall
as
dung
upon
the
open
field,
and
as
the
handful
after
the
harvestman,
and
none
shall
gather
{\ADD{
them}}.
\VS{23}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Let
not
the
wise
man
glory
in
his
wisdom,
neither
let
the
mighty
man
glory
in
his
might,
let
not
the
rich
man
glory
in
his
riches:
\VS{24}but
let
him
that
glorieth
glory
in
this,
that
he
understandeth,
and
knoweth
me,
that
I
am
the
LORD
which
exercise
lovingkindness,
judgment,
and
righteousness,
in
the
earth:
for
in
these
things
I
delight,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{25}Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
punish
all
them
which
are
circumcised
in
{\ADD{
their
}}uncircumcision;
\VS{26}Egypt,
and
Judah,
and
Edom,
and
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
Moab,
and
all
that
have
the
corners
{\ADD{
of
their
hair
}}polled,
that
dwell
in
the
wilderness:
for
all
the
nations
are
uncircumcised,
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
are
uncircumcised
in
heart.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Hear
ye
the
word
which
the
LORD
speaketh
unto
you,
O
house
of
Israel:
\VS{2}thus
saith
the
LORD,
Learn
not
the
way
of
the
nations,
and
be
not
dismayed
at
the
signs
of
heaven;
for
the
nations
are
dismayed
at
them.
\VS{3}For
the
customs
of
the
peoples
are
vanity:
for
one
cutteth
a
tree
out
of
the
forest,
the
work
of
the
hands
of
the
workman
with
the
axe.
\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
like
a
palm
tree,
of
turned
work,
and
speak
not:
they
must
needs
be
borne,
because
they
cannot
go.
Be
not
afraid
of
them;
for
they
cannot
do
evil,
neither
is
it
in
them
to
do
good.
\VS{6}There
is
none
like
unto
thee,
O
LORD;
thou
art
great,
and
thy
name
is
great
in
might.
\VS{7}Who
would
not
fear
thee,
O
King
of
the
nations?
for
to
thee
doth
it
appertain:
forasmuch
as
among
all
the
wise
men
of
the
nations,
and
in
all
their
royal
estate,
there
is
none
like
unto
thee.
\VS{8}But
they
are
together
brutish
and
foolish:
the
instruction
of
idols,
it
is
but
a
stock.
\VS{9}There
is
silver
beaten
into
plates
which
is
brought
from
Tarshish,
and
gold
from
Uphaz,
the
work
of
the
artificer
and
of
the
hands
of
the
goldsmith;
blue
and
purple
for
their
clothing;
they
are
all
the
work
of
cunning
men.
\VS{10}But
the
LORD
is
the
true
God;
he
is
the
living
God,
and
an
everlasting
king:
at
his
wrath
the
earth
trembleth,
and
the
nations
are
not
able
to
abide
his
indignation.
\VS{11}Thus
shall
ye
say
unto
them,
The
gods
that
have
not
made
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
these
shall
perish
from
the
earth,
and
from
under
the
heavens.
\VS{12}He
hath
made
the
earth
by
his
power,
he
hath
established
the
world
by
his
wisdom,
and
by
his
understanding
hath
he
stretched
out
the
heavens:
\VS{13}when
he
uttereth
his
voice,
there
is
a
tumult
of
waters
in
the
heavens,
and
he
causeth
the
vapours
to
ascend
from
the
ends
of
the
earth;
he
maketh
lightnings
for
the
rain,
and
bringeth
forth
the
wind
out
of
his
treasuries.
\VS{14}Every
man
is
become
brutish
{\ADD{
and
is
}}without
knowledge;
every
goldsmith
is
put
to
shame
by
his
graven
image:
for
his
molten
image
is
falsehood,
and
there
is
no
breath
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
these;
for
he
is
the
former
of
all
things;
and
Israel
is
the
tribe
of
his
inheritance:
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name.
\VS{17}Gather
up
thy
wares
out
of
the
land,
O
thou
that abidest
in
the
siege.
\VS{18}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
sling
out
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
at
this

will
distress
them,
that
they
may
feel
{\ADD{
it}}.

is
me
for
my

my
wound
is
grievous:
but
I
said,
Truly
this
is
{\ADD{
my
}}grief,
and
I
must
bear
it.
\VS{20}My
tent
is
spoiled,
and
all
my
cords
are
broken:
my
children
are
gone
forth
of
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
inquired
of
the
LORD:
therefore
they
have
not
prospered,
and
all
their
flocks
are
scattered.
\VS{22}The

of
a
rumour,
behold
it
cometh,

a
great
commotion
out
of
the
north
country,
to
make
the
cities
of
Judah
a
desolation,
a
dwelling
place
of
jackals.
\VS{23}O
LORD,
I
know
that
the
way
of
man
is
not
in
himself:
it
is
not
in
man
that
walketh
to
direct
his
steps.
\VS{24}O
LORD,
correct
me,
but
with
judgment;
not
in
thine
anger,
lest
thou
bring
me
to
nothing.
\VS{25}Pour
out
thy
fury
upon
the
heathen
that
know
thee
not,
and
upon
the
families
that
call
not
on
thy
name:
for
they
have
devoured
Jacob,
yea,
they
have
devoured
him
and
consumed
him,
and
have
laid
waste
his
habitation.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{2}Hear
ye
the
words
of
this
covenant,
and
speak
unto
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem;
\VS{3}and
say
thou
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel:
Cursed
be
the
man
that
heareth
not
the
words
of
this
covenant,
\VS{4}which
I
commanded
your
fathers
in
the
day
that
I
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the
iron
furnace,
saying,
Obey
my
voice,
and
do
them,
according
to
all
which
I
command
you:
so
shall
ye
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
God:
\VS{5}that
I
may
establish
the
oath
which
I
sware
unto
your
fathers,
to
give
them
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey,
as
at
this
day.
Then
answered
I,
and
said,
Amen,
O
LORD.
\VS{6}And
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Proclaim
all
these
words
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Hear
ye
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,
even
unto
this
day,
rising
early
and
protesting,
saying,
Obey
my
voice.
\VS{8}Yet
they
obeyed
not,
nor
inclined
their
ear,
but
walked
every
one
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
evil
heart:
therefore
I
brought
upon
them
all
the
words
of
this
covenant,
which
I
commanded
them
to
do,
but
they
did
them
not.
\VS{9}And
the
LORD
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,
which
refused
to
hear
my
words;
and
they
are
gone
after
other
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
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
bring
evil
upon
them,
which
they
shall
not
be
able
to
escape;
and
they
shall
cry
unto
me,
but
I
will
not
hearken
unto
them.
\VS{12}Then
shall
the
cities
of
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
go
and
cry
unto
the
gods
unto
whom
they
offer
incense:
but
they
shall
not
save
them
at
all
in
the
time
of
their
trouble.
\VS{13}For
according
to
the
number
of
thy
cities
are
thy
gods,
O
Judah;
and
according
to
the
number
of
the
streets
of
Jerusalem
have
ye
set
up
altars
to
the
shameful
thing,
even
altars
to
burn
incense
unto
Baal.
\VS{14}Therefore
pray
not
thou
for
this
people,
neither
lift
up
cry
nor
prayer
for
them:
for
I
will
not
hear
them
in
the
time
that
they
cry
unto
me
for
their
trouble.

in

wrought
lewdness

evil,

called
thy

A
green
olive
tree,
fair
with
goodly
fruit:
with
the
noise
of
a
great
tumult
he
hath
kindled
fire
upon
it,
and
the
branches
of
it
are
broken.
\VS{17}For
the
LORD
of
hosts,
that
planted
thee,
hath
pronounced
evil
against
thee,
because
of
the
evil
of
the
house
of
Israel
and
of
the
house
of
Judah,
which
they
have
wrought
for
themselves
in
provoking
me
to
anger
by
offering
incense
unto
Baal.
\VS{18}And
the
LORD
gave
me
knowledge
of
it,
and
I
knew
it:
then
thou
shewedst
me
their
doings.
\VS{19}But
I
was
like
a
gentle
lamb
that
is
led
to
the
slaughter;
and
I
knew
not
that

had
devised
devices
against
me,

Let
us
destroy

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,
O
LORD
of
hosts,
that
judgest
righteously,
that
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
the
LORD
concerning
the
men
of
Anathoth,
that
seek
thy
life,
saying,
Thou shalt
not
prophesy
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
that
thou
die
not
by

thus
saith
the

of

Behold,
I
will
punish
them:
the
young

shall
die
by
the
sword;
their
sons
and
their
daughters
shall
die
by
famine;
\VS{23}and
there
shall
be
no

unto

bring
evil

the
girdle
from
thence,
which
I
commanded
thee
to
hide
there.
\VS{7}Then
I
went
to
Euphrates,
and
digged,
and
took
the
girdle
from
the
place
where
I
had
hid
it:
and,
behold,
the
girdle
was
marred,
it
was
profitable
for
nothing.
\VS{8}Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
\VS{9}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
After
this
manner
will
I
mar
the
pride
of
Judah,
and
the
great
pride
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{10}This
evil
people,
which
refuse
to
hear
my
words,
which
walk
in
the
stubbornness
of
their
heart,
and
are
gone
after
other
gods
to
serve
them,
and
to
worship
them,
shall
even
be
as
this
girdle,
which
is
profitable
for
nothing.
\VS{11}For
as
the
girdle
cleaveth
to
the
loins
of
a
man,
so
have
I
caused
to
cleave
unto
me
the
whole
house
of
Israel
and
the
whole
house
of
Judah,
saith
the
LORD;
that
they
might
be
unto
me
for
a
people,
and
for
a
name,
and
for
a
praise,
and
for
a
glory:
but
they
would
not
hear.
\VS{12}Therefore
thou shalt
speak
unto
them
this
word:
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
Every
bottle
shall
be
filled
with
wine:
and
they
shall
say
unto
thee,
Do
we
not
know
that
every
bottle
shall
be
filled
with
wine?
\VS{13}Then shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
fill
all
the
inhabitants
of
this
land,
even
the
kings
that
sit
upon
David’s
throne,
and
the
priests,
and
the
prophets,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
with
drunkenness.
\VS{14}And
I
will
dash
them
one
against
another,
even
the
fathers
and
the
sons
together,
saith
the
LORD:
I
will
not
pity,
nor
spare,
nor
have
compassion,
that
I
should
not
destroy
them.
\VS{15}Hear
ye,
and
give
ear;
be
not
proud:
for
the
LORD
hath
spoken.
\VS{16}Give
glory
to
the
LORD
your
God,
before
he
cause
darkness,
and
before
your
feet
stumble
upon
the
dark
mountains;
and,
while
ye
look
for
light,
he
turn
it
into
the
shadow
of
death,
and
make
it gross
darkness.
\VS{17}But
if
ye
will
not
hear
it,
my
soul
shall
weep
in
secret
for
{\ADD{
your
}}pride;
and
mine
eye
shall
weep
sore,
and
run
down
with
tears,
because
the
LORD’S
flock
is
taken
captive.
\VS{18}Say
thou
unto
the
king
and
to
the queen-mother,
Humble
yourselves,
sit
down:
for
your headtires
are
come
down,
even
the
crown
of
your
glory.
\VS{19}The
cities
of
the
South
are
shut
up,
and
there
is
none
to
open
them:
Judah
is
carried
away
captive
all
of
it;
it
is
wholly
carried
away
captive.
\VS{20}Lift
up
your
eyes,
and
behold
them
that
come
from
the
north:
where
is
the
flock
that
was
given
thee,
thy
beautiful
flock?
\VS{21}What
wilt
thou
say,
when
he
shall
set
{\ADD{
thy
}}friends
over
thee
as
head,
seeing
thou
thyself
hast
instructed
them
against
thee?
shall
not
sorrows
take
hold
of
thee,
as
of
a
woman
in
travail?
\VS{22}And
if
thou
say
in
thine
heart,
Wherefore
are
these
things
come
upon
me?
for
the
greatness
of
thine
iniquity
are
thy
skirts
discovered,
and
thy
heels
suffer
violence.
\VS{23}Can
the
Ethiopian
change
his
skin,
or
the
leopard
his
spots?
then
may
ye
also
do
good,
that
are
accustomed
to
do
evil.
\VS{24}Therefore
will
I
scatter
them,
as
the
stubble
that
passeth
away,
by
the
wind
of
the
wilderness.
\VS{25}This
is
thy
lot,
the
portion
measured
unto
thee
from
me,
saith
the
LORD;
because
thou
hast
forgotten
me,
and
trusted
in
falsehood.
\VS{26}Therefore
will
I
also
discover
thy
skirts
upon
thy
face,
and
thy
shame
shall
appear.
\VS{27}I
have
seen
thine
abominations,
even
thine
adulteries,
and
thy
neighings,
the
lewdness
of
thy
whoredom,
on
the
hills
in
the
field.
Woe
unto
thee,
O
Jerusalem!
thou
wilt
not
be
made
clean;
how
long
shall
it
yet
be?

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
of
the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
the
drought.
\VS{2}Judah
mourneth,
and
the
gates
thereof
languish,
they
sit
in
black
upon
the
ground;
and
the
cry
of
Jerusalem
is
gone
up.
\VS{3}And
their
nobles
send
their
little
ones
to
the
waters:
they
come
to
the
pits,
and
find
no
water;
they
return
with
their
vessels
empty:
they
are
ashamed
and
confounded,
and
cover
their
heads.
\VS{4}Because
of
the
ground
which
is
chapt,
for
that
no
rain
hath
been
in
the
land,
the
plowmen
are
ashamed,
they
cover
their
heads.
\VS{5}Yea,
the
hind
also
in
the
field
calveth,
and
forsaketh
{\ADD{
her
young}},
because
there
is
no
grass.
\VS{6}And
the
wild
asses
stand
on
the
bare
heights,
they
pant
for
air
like
jackals;
their
eyes
fail,
because
there
is
no herbage.
\VS{7}Though
our
iniquities
testify
against
us,
work
thou
for
thy
name’s
sake,
O
LORD:
for
our
backslidings
are
many;
we
have
sinned
against
thee.
\VS{8}O
thou
hope
of
Israel,
the
saviour
thereof
in
the
time
of
trouble,
why shouldest
thou
be
as
a
sojourner
in
the
land,
and
as
a
wayfaring
man
that
turneth
aside
to
tarry
for
a
night?
\VS{9}Why shouldest
thou
be
as
a
man
astonied,
as
a
mighty
man
that
cannot
save?
yet
thou,
O
LORD,
art
in
the
midst
of
us,
and
we
are
called
by
thy
name;
leave
us
not.
\VS{10}Thus
saith
the
LORD
unto
this
people,
Even
so
have
they
loved
to
wander;
they
have
not
refrained
their
feet:
therefore
the
LORD
doth
not
accept
them;
now
will
he
remember
their
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins.
\VS{11}And
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Pray
not
for
this
people
for
{\ADD{
their
}}good.
\VS{12}When
they
fast,
I
will
not
hear
their
cry;
and
when
they
offer
burnt
offering
and
oblation,
I
will
not
accept
them:
but
I
will
consume
them
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence;
\VS{13}Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord
GOD!
behold,
the
prophets
say
unto
them,
Ye
shall
not
see
the
sword,
neither
shall
ye
have
famine;
but
I
will
give
you
assured
peace
in
this
place.
\VS{14}Then
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
The
prophets
prophesy
lies
in
my
name:
I
sent
them
not,
neither
have
I
commanded
them,
neither
spake
I
unto
them:
they
prophesy
unto
you
a
lying
vision,
and
divination,
and
a
thing
of
nought,
and
the
deceit
of
their
own
heart.
\VS{15}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
the
prophets
that
prophesy
in
my
name,
and
I
sent
them
not,
yet
they
say,
Sword
and
famine
shall
not
be
in
this
land:
By
sword
and
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
they
shall
have
none
to
bury
them,
them,
their
wives,
nor
their
sons,
nor
their
daughters:
for
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
let
them
not
cease;
for
the
virgin
daughter
of
my
people
is
broken
with
a
great
breach,
with
a
very
grievous
wound.
\VS{18}If
I
go
forth
into
the
field,
then
behold
the
slain
with
the
sword!
and
if
I
enter
into
the
city,
then
behold
them
that
are
sick
with
famine!
for
both
the
prophet
and
the
priest
go
about
in
the
land
and
have
no
knowledge.
\VS{19}Hast
thou
utterly
rejected
Judah?
hath
thy
soul
loathed
Zion?
why
hast
thou
smitten
us,
and
there
is
no
healing
for
us?
We
looked
for
peace,
but
no
good
came;
and
for
a
time
of
healing,
and
behold
dismay!
\VS{20}We
acknowledge,
O
LORD,
our
wickedness,
and
the
iniquity
of
our
fathers:
for
we
have
sinned
against
thee.
\VS{21}Do
not
abhor
{\ADD{
us}},
for
thy
name’s
sake;
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
heathen
that
can
cause
rain?
or
can
the
heavens
give
showers?
art
not
thou
he,
O
LORD
our
God?
therefore
we
will
wait
upon
thee;
for
thou
hast
made
all
these
things.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
said
the
LORD
unto
me,
Though
Moses
and
Samuel
stood
before
me,
yet
my
mind
could
not
be
toward
this
people:
cast
them
out
of
my

go
forth.
\VS{2}And

shall
come
to

when

Such

as

to
slay,

dogs
to
tear,
and
the
fowls
of

the
beasts
of
the
earth,
to
devour
and
to
destroy.

will
cause
them
to
be
tossed
to
and
fro
among
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,
O
Jerusalem?
or
who
shall
bemoan
thee?
or
who
shall
turn
aside
to
ask
of
thy
welfare?

hast
rejected
me,
saith
the
LORD,
thou
art
gone
backward:
therefore
have
I
stretched
out
my
hand
against
thee,
and
destroyed
thee;
I
am
weary
with
repenting.
\VS{7}And
I
have fanned
them
with
a
fan
in
the
gates
of
the
land;
I
have
bereaved
{\ADD{
them
}}of
children,

have
destroyed
my

have
not
returned
from
their
ways.

for,
behold,
ye
walk
every
one
after
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart,
so
that
ye
hearken
not
unto
me:
\VS{13}therefore
will
I
cast
you
forth
out

that

shew
you
no

behold,
the

come,
saith
the

it
shall
no
more
be
said,
As
the

liveth,
that
brought
up
the

Israel
out

As

liveth,
that
brought
up
the
children
of
Israel
from
the
land
of
the
north,
and
from
all
the

whither
he
had
driven
them:

I
will
bring
them
again
into
their
land
that
I
gave
unto
their
fathers.
\VS{16}Behold,
I
will
send
for
many
fishers
saith
the
LORD,
and
they
shall
fish
them;
and
afterward
I
will
send
for
many
hunters,
and
they
shall
hunt
them
from
every
mountain,
and
from
every
hill,
and
out
of
the
holes
of
the
rocks.
\VS{17}For
mine
eyes
are
upon
all
their

they
are
not
hid
from
my
face,
neither
is
their
iniquity
concealed
from
mine
eyes.
\VS{18}And
first
I
will
recompense
their
iniquity
and
their
sin
double;
because
they
have
polluted
my
land
with
the
carcases
of
their
detestable
things,
and
have
filled
mine
inheritance
with
their
abominations.

LORD,
my
strength,
and
my
strong

and
my

in
the

of
affliction,
unto
thee
shall
the

come
from

Our

have

nought
but
lies,

and

wherein
there

\VS{20}Shall
a

I

word
which
came
to

from

saying,
\VS{2}Arise,
and
go
down
to
the
potter’s
house,
and
there
I
will
cause
thee
to
hear
my
words.
\VS{3}Then
I
went
down
to
the
potter’s
house,
and,
behold,
he
wrought
his
work
on
the
wheels.
\VS{4}And
when
the
vessel
that
he
made
of
the
clay
was
marred
in
the
hand
of
the
potter,
he
made
it
again
another
vessel,
as
seemed
good
to
the
potter
to
make
it.
\VS{5}Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me,
saying,
\VS{6}O
house
of
Israel,
cannot
I
do
with
you
as
this
potter?
saith
the
LORD.
Behold,
as
the
clay
in
the
potter’s
hand,
so
are
ye
in
mine
hand,
O
house
of
Israel.
\VS{7}At
what
instant
I
shall
speak
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
pluck
up
and
to
break
down
and
to
destroy
it;
\VS{8}if
that
nation,
concerning
which
I
have
spoken,
turn
from
their
evil,
I
will
repent
of
the
evil
that
I
thought
to
do
unto
them.
\VS{9}And
at
what
instant
I
shall
speak
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
build
and
to
plant
it;
\VS{10}if
it
do
evil
in
my

that
it
obey
not
my
voice,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
good,
wherewith
I
said
I
would
benefit
them.
\VS{11}Now
therefore
go
to,
speak
to
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
frame
evil
against
you,
and
devise
a
device
against
you:
return
ye
now
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings.
\VS{12}But

say,
There
is
no

we
will
walk
after
our
own
devices,
and
we
will
do
every
one
after
the
stubbornness
of
his
evil
heart.
\VS{13}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Ask
ye
now
among
the
nations,
who
hath
heard
such
things;
the
virgin
of
Israel
hath
done
a
very
horrible
thing.

the
snow

the
cold
waters
that
flow
down
from
afar
be
dried
up?
\VS{15}For
my
people
hath
forgotten
me,
they
have
burned
incense
to
vanity;
and
they
have
caused
them
to
stumble
in
their
ways,
in
the
ancient
paths,
to
walk
in
bypaths,
in
a
way
not
cast
up;

make
their
land
an
astonishment,
and
a
perpetual
hissing;
every
one
that
passeth
thereby
shall
be
astonished,
and
shake
his
head.
\VS{17}I
will
scatter
them
as
with
an
east
wind
before
the
enemy;
I
will
look
upon
their
back,
and
not
their
face,
in
the
day
of
their
calamity.

said
they,
Come,
and
let
us
devise
devices
against
Jeremiah;
for
the
law
shall
not
perish
from
the
priest,
nor
counsel
from

Come,

let
us
smite
him
with
the
tongue,
and
let
us
not
give
heed
to
any
of

words.
\VS{19}Give
heed
to
me,
O
LORD,
and
hearken
to
the
voice
of
them
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
fury
from
them.
\VS{21}Therefore
deliver
up
their
children
to
the
famine,
and
give
them
over
to
the
power
of
the
sword;
and
let
their
wives
become
childless,
and
widows;
and
let
their
men
be
slain
of
death,
{\ADD{
and
}}their
young
men
smitten
of
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
hid
snares
for
my
feet.
\VS{23}Yet,
LORD,
thou
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
thou
with
them
in
the

thine
anger.

of
the
LORD.
\VS{3}And
it
came
to
pass
on
the
morrow,
that
Pashhur
brought
forth
Jeremiah
out
of
the
stocks.
Then
said
Jeremiah
unto
him,
The
LORD
hath
not
called
thy
name
Pashhur,
but
Magor-missabib.
\VS{4}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
make
thee
a
terror
to
thyself,
and
to
all
thy
friends:
and
they
shall
fall
by
the
sword
of
their
enemies,
and
thine
eyes
shall
behold
it:
and
I
will
give
all
Judah
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
carry
them
captive
to
Babylon,
and
shall
slay
them
with
the
sword.
\VS{5}Moreover
I
will
give
all
the
riches
of
this
city,
and
all
the
gains
thereof,
and
all
the
precious
things
thereof,
yea,
all
the
treasures
of
the
kings
of
Judah
will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
which
shall
spoil
them,
and
take
them,
and
carry
them
to
Babylon.
\VS{6}And
thou,
Pashhur,
and
all
that
dwell
in
thine
house
shall
go
into
captivity:
and
thou shalt
come
to
Babylon,
and
there
thou shalt
die,
and
there shalt
thou
be
buried,
thou,
and
all
thy
friends,
to
whom
thou
hast
prophesied
falsely.
\VS{7}O
LORD,
thou
hast
deceived
me,
and
I
was
deceived:
thou
art
stronger
than
I,
and
hast
prevailed:
I
am
become
a
laughingstock
all
the
day,
every
one
mocketh
me.
\VS{8}For
as
often
as
I
speak,
I
cry
out;
I
cry,
Violence
and
spoil:
because
the
word
of
the
LORD
is
made
a
reproach
unto
me,
and
a
derision,
all
the
day.
\VS{9}And
if
I
say,
I
will
not
make
mention
of
him,
nor
speak
any
more
in
his
name,
then
there
is
in
mine
heart
as
it
were
a
burning
fire
shut
up
in
my
bones,
and
I
am
weary
with
forbearing,
and
I
cannot
{\ADD{
contain}}.
\VS{10}For
I
have
heard
the
defaming
of
many,
terror
on
every
side.
Denounce,
and
we
will
denounce
him,
{\ADD{
say
}}all
my
familiar
friends,
they
that
watch
for
my
halting;
peradventure
he
will
be
enticed,
and
we
shall
prevail
against
him,
and
we
shall
take
our
revenge
on
him.
\VS{11}But
the
LORD
is
with
me
as
a
mighty
one
{\ADD{
and
}}a
terrible:
therefore
my
persecutors
shall
stumble,
and
they
shall
not
prevail:
they
shall
be
greatly
ashamed,
because
they
have
not
dealt
wisely,
even
with
an
everlasting
dishonour
which
shall
never
be
forgotten.
\VS{12}But,
O
LORD
of
hosts,
that
triest
the
righteous,
that
seest
the
reins
and
the
heart,
let
me
see
thy
vengeance
on
them;
for
unto
thee
have
I
revealed
my
cause.
\VS{13}Sing
unto
the
LORD,
praise
ye
the
LORD:
for
he
hath
delivered
the
soul
of
the
needy
from
the
hand
of evil-doers.
\VS{14}Cursed
be
the
day
wherein
I
was
born:
let
not
the
day
wherein
my
mother
bare
me
be
blessed.
\VS{15}Cursed
be
the
man
who
brought
tidings
to
my
father,
saying,
A
man
child
is
born
unto
thee;
making
him
very
glad.
\VS{16}And
let
that
man
be
as
the
cities
which
the
LORD
overthrew,
and
repented
not:
and
let
him
hear
a
cry
in
the
morning,
and
shouting
at
noontide;
\VS{17}because
he
slew
me
not
from
the
womb;
and
so
my
mother
should
have
been
my
grave,
and
her
womb
always
great.
\VS{18}Wherefore
came
I
forth
out
of
the
womb
to
see
labour
and
sorrow,
that
my
days
should
be
consumed
with
shame?

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
which
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
when
king
Zedekiah
sent
unto
him
Pashhur
the
son
of
Malchijah,
and
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest,
saying,
\VS{2}Inquire,
I
pray
thee,
of
the
LORD
for
us;
for
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
maketh
war
against
us:
peradventure
the
LORD
will
deal
with
us
according
to
all
his
wondrous
works,
that
he
may
go
up
from
us.
\VS{3}Then
said
Jeremiah
unto
them,
Thus
shall
ye
say
to
Zedekiah:
\VS{4}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
Behold,
I
will
turn
back
the
weapons
of
war
that
are
in
your
hands;
wherewith
ye
fight
against
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
against
the
Chaldeans
which
besiege
you,
without
the
walls,
and
I
will
gather
them
into
the
midst
of
this
city.
\VS{5}And
I
myself
will
fight
against
you
with
an
outstretched
hand
and
with
a
strong
arm,
even
in
anger,
and
in
fury,
and
in
great
wrath.
\VS{6}And
I
will
smite
the
inhabitants
of
this
city,
both
man
and
beast:
they
shall
die
of
a
great
pestilence.
\VS{7}And
afterward,
saith
the
LORD,
I
will
deliver
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
his
servants,
and
the
people,
even
such
as
are
left
in
this
city
from
the
pestilence,
from
the
sword,
and
from
the
famine,
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
those
that
seek
their
life:
and
he
shall
smite
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
he
shall
not
spare
them,
neither
have
pity,
nor
have
mercy.
\VS{8}And
unto
this
people
thou shalt
say,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
set
before
you
the
way
of
life
and
the
way
of
death.
\VS{9}He
that
abideth
in
this
city
shall
die
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence:
but
he
that
goeth
out,
and
falleth
away
to
the
Chaldeans
that
besiege
you,
he
shall
live,
and
his
life
shall
be
unto
him
for
a
prey.
\VS{10}For
I
have
set
my
face
upon
this
city
for
evil,
and
not
for
good,
saith
the
LORD:
it
shall
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
burn
it
with
fire.
\VS{11}And
touching
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
hear
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD:
\VS{12}O
house
of
David,
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Execute
judgment
in
the
morning,
and
deliver
the
spoiled
out
of
the
hand
of
the
oppressor,
lest
my
fury
go
forth
like
fire,
and
burn
that
none
can
quench
it,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings.
\VS{13}Behold,
I
am
against
thee,
O
inhabitant
of
the
valley,
{\ADD{
and
}}of
the
rock
of
the
plain,
saith
the
LORD;
ye
which
say,
Who
shall
come
down
against
us?
or
who
shall
enter
into
our
habitations?
\VS{14}And
I
will
punish
you
according
to
the
fruit
of
your
doings,
saith
the
LORD:
and
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
her
forest,
and
it
shall
devour
all
that
is
round
about
her.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thus
said
the
LORD:
Go
down
to
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
speak
there
this
word,
\VS{2}And
say,
Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
king
of
Judah,
that
sittest
upon
the
throne
of
David,
thou,
and
thy
servants,
and
thy
people
that
enter
in
by
these
gates.
\VS{3}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Execute
ye
judgment
and
righteousness,
and
deliver
the
spoiled
out
of
the
hand
of
the
oppressor:
and
do
no
wrong,
do
no
violence,
to
the
stranger,
the
fatherless,
nor
the
widow,
neither
shed
innocent
blood
in
this
place.
\VS{4}For
if
ye
do
this
thing
indeed,
then
shall
there
enter
in
by
the
gates
of
this
house
kings
sitting
upon
the
throne
of
David,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses,
he,
and
his
servants,
and
his
people.
\VS{5}But
if
ye
will
not
hear
these
words,
I
swear
by
myself,
saith
the
LORD,
that
this
house
shall
become
a
desolation.
\VS{6}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah:
Thou
art
Gilead
unto
me,
{\ADD{
and
}}the
head
of
Lebanon:
{\ADD{
yet
}}surely
I
will
make
thee
a
wilderness,
{\ADD{
and
}}cities
which
are
not
inhabited.
\VS{7}And
I
will
prepare
destroyers
against
thee,
every
one
with
his
weapons:
and
they
shall
cut
down
thy
choice
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
the
LORD
done
thus
unto
this
great
city?
\VS{9}Then
they
shall
answer,
Because
they
forsook
the
covenant
of
the
LORD
their
God,
and
worshipped
other
gods,
and
served
them.
\VS{10}Weep
ye
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
the
LORD
touching
Shallum
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
which
reigned
instead
of
Josiah
his
father,
which
went
forth
out
of
this
place:
He
shall
not
return
thither
any
more;
\VS{12}But
in
the
place
whither
they
have
led
him
captive,
there
shall
he
die,
and
he
shall
see
this
land
no
more.
\VS{13}Woe
unto
him
that
buildeth
his
house
by
unrighteousness,
and
his
chambers
by
injustice;
that
useth
his
neighbour’s
service
without
wages,
and
giveth
him
not
his
hire;
\VS{14}that
saith,
I
will
build
me
a
wide
house
and
spacious
chambers,
and
cutteth
him
out
windows;
and
it
is
cieled
with
cedar,
and
painted
with
vermilion.
\VS{15}Shalt
thou
reign,
because
thou strivest
to
excel
in
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
the
LORD.
\VS{17}But
thine
eyes
and
thine
heart
are
not
but
for
thy
covetousness,
and
for
to
shed
innocent
blood,
and
for
oppression,
and
for
violence,
to
do
it.
\VS{18}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah:
They
shall
not
lament
for
him,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Ah
my
brother!
or,
Ah
sister!
they
shall
not
lament
for
him,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Ah
lord!
or,
Ah
his
glory!
\VS{19}He
shall
be
buried
with
the
burial
of
an
ass,
drawn
and
cast
forth
beyond
the
gates
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{20}Go
up
to
Lebanon,
and
cry;
and
lift
up
thy
voice
in
Bashan:
and
cry
from
Abarim;
for
all
thy
lovers
are
destroyed.
\VS{21}I
spake
unto
thee
in
thy
prosperity;
but
thou
saidst,
I
will
not
hear.
This
hath
been
thy
manner
from
thy
youth,
that
thou
obeyedst
not
my
voice.
\VS{22}The
wind
shall
feed
all
thy
shepherds,
and
thy
lovers
shall
go
into
captivity:
surely
then shalt
thou
be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
all
thy
wickedness.
\VS{23}O
inhabitant
of
Lebanon,
that
makest
thy
nest
in
the
cedars,
how
greatly
to
be
pitied shalt
thou
be
when
pangs
come
upon
thee,
the
pain
as
of
a
woman
in
travail!
\VS{24}As
I
live,
saith
the
LORD,
though
Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
were
the
signet
upon
my
right
hand,
yet
would
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
of
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}But
to
the
land whereunto
their
soul
longeth
to
return,
thither
shall
they
not
return.
\VS{28}Is
this
man
Coniah
a
despised
broken
vessel?
is
he
a
vessel
wherein
is
no
pleasure?
wherefore
are
they
cast
out,

and
are
cast
into

not?

\VS{30}Thus
saith

Write
ye

childless,

man
that
shall
not
prosper
in

days:
for
no

ruling
any
more
in
Judah.

unto
the

that
destroy
and
scatter
the

pasture!
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{2}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
against
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

\VS{3}And
I
will
gather
the
remnant
of
my
flock
out
of
all
the
countries
whither
I
have
driven
them,
and
will
bring
them
again
to
their
folds;
and
they
shall
be
fruitful
and
multiply.
\VS{4}And
I
will
set
up
shepherds
over
them
which
shall
feed
them:
and
they
shall
fear
no
more,
nor
be
dismayed,
neither
shall
any
be
lacking,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{5}Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
raise
unto
David
a
righteous
Branch,
and
he
shall
reign
as
king
and
deal
wisely,
and
shall
execute
judgment
and
justice
in
the
land.
\VS{6}In
his
days
Judah
shall
be
saved,
and
Israel
shall
dwell
safely:
and
this
is
his
name
whereby
he
shall
be
called,
The
LORD
is
our
righteousness.
\VS{7}Therefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
they
shall
no
more
say,
As
the
LORD
liveth,
which
brought
up
the
Children
of
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
\VS{8}but,
As
the
LORD
liveth,
which
brought
up

which
led
the
seed
of
the
house
of
Israel
out
of
the
north
country,

from
all

countries
whither
I

\VS{9}Concerning
the
prophets.
Mine
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
the
LORD,
and
because
of
his
holy
words.
\VS{10}For
the
land
is
full
of
adulterers;
for
because
of
swearing
the
land
mourneth;
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness
are
dried
up;
and
their
course
is
evil,
and
their
force
is
not
right.
\VS{11}for
both
prophet
and
priest
are
profane;
yea,
in
my
house
have
I
found
their
wickedness,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{12}Wherefore
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,
even
the
year
of
their
visitation,
saith
the
LORD.
\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}In
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
also
I
have
seen
an
horrible
thing;
they
commit
adultery,
and
walk
in
lies,
and
they
strengthen
the
hands
of evil-doers,
that
none
doth
return
from
his
wickedness:
they
are
all
of
them
become
unto
me
as
Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants
thereof
as
Gomorrah.
\VS{15}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
concerning
the
prophets:
Behold,
I
will
feed
them
with
wormwood,
and
make
them
drink
the
water
of
gall:
for
from
the
prophets
of
Jerusalem
is
profaneness
gone
forth
into
all
the
land.
\VS{16}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
Hearken
not
unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
prophesy
unto
you;
they
teach
you
vanity:
they
speak
a
vision
of
their
own
heart,
and
not
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
LORD.
\VS{17}They
say
continually
unto
them
that
despise
me,
The
LORD
hath
said,
Ye
shall
have
peace;
and
unto
every
one
that
walketh
in
the
stubbornness
of
his
own
heart
they
say,
No
evil
shall
come
upon
you.
\VS{18}For
who
hath
stood
in
the
council
of
the
LORD,
that
he
should
perceive
and
hear
his
word?
who
hath
marked
my
word,
and
heard
it?
\VS{19}Behold,
the
tempest
of
the
LORD,
{\ADD{
even
his
}}fury,
is
gone
forth,
yea,
a
whirling
tempest:
it
shall
burst
upon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
\VS{20}The
anger
of
the
LORD
shall
not
return,
until
he
have
executed,
and
till
he
have
performed
the
intents
of
his
heart:
in
the
latter
days
ye
shall
understand
it
perfectly.
\VS{21}I
sent
not
these
prophets,
yet
they
ran:
I
spake
not
unto
them,
yet
they
prophesied.
\VS{22}But
if
they
had
stood
in
my
council,
then
had
they
caused
my
people
to
hear
my
words,
and
had
turned
them
from
their
evil
way,
and
from
the
evil
of
their
doings.
\VS{23}Am
I
a
God
at
hand,
saith
the
LORD,
and
not
a
God
afar
off?
\VS{24}Can
any
hide
himself
in
secret
places
that
I
shall
not
see
him?
saith
the
LORD.
Do
not
I
fill
heaven
and
earth?
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{25}I
have
heard
what
the
prophets
have
said,
that
prophesy
lies
in
my
name,
saying,
I
have
dreamed,
I
have
dreamed.
\VS{26}How
long
shall
this
be
in
the
heart
of
the
prophets
that
prophesy
lies;
even
the
prophets
of
the
deceit
of
their
own
heart?
\VS{27}which
think
to
cause
my
people
to
forget
my
name
by
their
dreams
which
they
tell
every
man
to
his
neighbour,
as
their
fathers
forgat
my
name
for
Baal.
\VS{28}The
prophet
that
hath
a
dream,
let
him
tell
a
dream;
and
he
that
hath
my
word,
let
him
speak
my
word
faithfully.
What
is
the
straw
to
the
wheat?
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{29}Is
not
my
word
like
as
fire?
saith
the
LORD;
and
like
a
hammer
that
breaketh
the
rock
in
pieces?
\VS{30}Therefore,
behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
saith
the
LORD,
that
steal
my
words
every
one
from
his
neighbour.
\VS{31}Behold,
I
am
against
the
prophets,
saith
the
LORD,
that
use
their
tongues,
and
say,
He
saith.
\VS{32}Behold,
I
am
against
them
that
prophesy
lying
dreams,
saith
the
LORD,
and
do
tell
them,
and
cause
my
people
to
err
by
their
lies,
and
by
their
vain
boasting:
yet
I
sent
them
not,
nor
commanded
them;
neither
shall
they
profit
this
people
at
all,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{33}And
when
this
people,
or
the
prophet,
or
a
priest,
shall
ask
thee,
saying,
What
is
the
burden
of
the
LORD?
then shalt
thou
say
unto
them,
What
burden!
I
will
cast
you
off,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{34}And
as
for
the
prophet,
and
the
priest,
and
the
people,
that
shall
say,
The
burden
of
the
LORD,
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
the
LORD
answered?
and,
What
hath
the
LORD
spoken?
\VS{36}And
the
burden
of
the
LORD
shall
ye
mention
no
more:
for
every
man’s
own
word
shall
be
his
burden;
for
ye
have
perverted
the
words
of
the
living
God,
of
the
LORD
of
hosts
our
God.
\VS{37}Thus shalt
thou
say
to
the
prophet,
What
hath
the
LORD
answered
thee?
and,
What
hath
the
LORD
spoken?
\VS{38}But
if
ye
say,
The
burden
of
the
LORD;
therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Because
ye
say
this
word,
The
burden
of
the
LORD,
and
I
have
sent
unto
you,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
say,
The
burden
of
the
LORD;
\VS{39}therefore,
behold,
I
will
utterly
forget
you,
and
I
will
cast
you
off,
and
the
city
that
I
gave
unto
you
and
to
your
fathers,
away
from
my
presence:
\VS{40}and
I
will
bring
an
everlasting
reproach
upon
you,
and
a
perpetual
shame
which
shall
not
be
forgotten.

LORD
shewed
me,
and,
behold,
two
baskets
of
figs
set
before
the
temple
of
the
LORD;
after
that
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
carried
away
captive
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
and
the
princes
of
Judah,
with
the
craftsmen
and
smiths,
from
Jerusalem,
and
had
brought
them
to
Babylon.
\VS{2}One
basket
had
very
good
figs,
like
the
figs
that
are
first
ripe:
and
the
other
basket
had
very
bad
figs,
which
could
not
be
eaten,
they
were
so
bad.
\VS{3}Then
said
the
LORD
unto
me,
What
seest
thou,
Jeremiah?
And
I
said,
Figs;
the
good
figs,
very
good;
and
the
bad,
very
bad,
that
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
bad.
\VS{4}And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
\VS{5}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel;
Like
these
good
figs,
so
will
I
regard
the
captives
of
Judah,
whom
I
have
sent
out
of
this
place
into
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
for
good.
\VS{6}For
I
will
set
mine
eyes
upon
them
for
good,
and
I
will
bring
them
again
to
this
land:
and
I
will
build
them,
and
not
pull
them
down;
and
I
will
plant
them,
and
not
pluck
them
up.
\VS{7}And
I
will
give
them
an
heart
to
know
me,
that
I
am
the
LORD:
and
they
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
God:
for
they
shall
return
unto
me
with
their
whole
heart.
\VS{8}And
as
the
bad
figs,
which
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
bad;
surely
thus
saith
the
LORD,
So
will
I
give
up
Zedekiah
the
king
of
Judah,
and
his
princes,
and
the
residue
of
Jerusalem,
that
remain
in
this
land,
and
them
that
dwell
in
the

of
Egypt:
\VS{9}I
will
even
give
them
up
to
be
tossed
to
and
fro
among
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
for
evil;
to
be
a
reproach
and
a
proverb,
a
taunt
and
a
curse,
in
all
places
whither
I
shall
drive
them.
\VS{10}And
I
will
send
the
sword,
the

the
pestilence,

off

in

which

the

of
Amon,
king
of
Judah,
even
unto
this
day,
these
three

of
the
LORD
hath
come
unto
me,

I
have
spoken
unto
you,
rising
up
early
and
speaking;
but
ye
have
not
hearkened.

the
LORD
hath
sent
unto
you

rising
up

sending
them;

have
not

hear;

Return

now
every

from
his
evil
way,

from
the
evil
of
your
doings,

dwell
in
the
land
that
the

hath
given
unto
you
and
to
your

from

go
not

other
gods
to
serve
them,

worship
them,

provoke
me
not
to
anger
with
the
work

do
you
no

saith
the

that
ye
might
provoke
me
to
anger
with
the
work
of
your

thus
saith
the

of

\VS{9}behold,
I
will
send
and
take

will
bring

perpetual
desolations.
\VS{10}Moreover
I
will
take
from
them
the
voice
of
mirth
and
the
voice
of
gladness,

of
the

and

shall
be
a
desolation,

an
astonishment;

shall
serve
the

Babylon
seventy

it
shall
come
to

when

are
accomplished,
that
I

punish
the

saith
the
LORD,
for
their
iniquity,
and
the
land
of
the

I
will
make
it
desolate
for

I
will
bring
upon
that
land
all
my

I
have
pronounced
against
it,
even

that
is
written
in
this
book,

Jeremiah
hath
prophesied
against
all

nations.
\VS{14}For
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall
serve
themselves
of
them,
even
of
them:

I
will
recompense
them
according
to
their
deeds,
and
according
to
the
work
of
their
hands.
\VS{15}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God

unto
me:
Take
the

people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
\VS{8}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jeremiah
had
made
an
end
of
speaking
all
that
the
LORD
had
commanded
him
to
speak
unto
all
the
people,
that
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
laid
hold
on
him,
saying,
Thou shalt
surely
die.
\VS{9}Why
hast
thou
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
saying,
This
house
shall
be
like
Shiloh,
and
this
city
shall
be
desolate,
without
inhabitant?
And
all
the
people
were
gathered
unto
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
\VS{10}And
when
the
princes
of
Judah
heard
these
things,
they
came
up
from
the
king’s
house
unto
the
house
of
the
LORD;
and
they
sat
in
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
the
LORD’S
{\ADD{
house}}.
\VS{11}Then
spake
the
priests
and
the
prophets
unto
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
This
man
is
worthy
of
death;
for
he
hath
prophesied
against
this
city,
as
ye
have
heard
with
your
ears.
\VS{12}Then
spake
Jeremiah
unto
all
the
princes
and
to
all
the
people,
saying,
The
LORD
sent
me
to
prophesy
against
this
house
and
against
this
city
all
the
words
that
ye
have
heard.
\VS{13}Therefore
now
amend
your
ways
and
your
doings,
and
obey
the
voice
of
the
LORD
your
God;
and
the
LORD
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
with
me
as
is
good
and
right
in
your
eyes.
\VS{15}Only
know
ye
for
certain
that,
if
ye
put
me
to
death,
ye
shall
bring
innocent
blood
upon
yourselves,
and
upon
this
city,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
thereof:
for
of
a
truth
the
LORD
hath
sent
me
unto
you
to
speak
all
these
words
in
your
ears.
\VS{16}Then
said
the
princes
and
all
the
people
unto
the
priests
and
to
the
prophets:
This
man
is
not
worthy
of
death;
for
he
hath
spoken
to
us
in
the
name
of
the
LORD
our
God.
\VS{17}Then
rose
up
certain
of
the
elders
of
the
land,
and
spake
to
all
the
assembly
of
the
people,
saying,
\VS{18}Micaiah
the Morashtite
prophesied
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah;
and
he
spake
to
all
the
people
of
Judah,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts:
Zion
shall
be
plowed
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
the
LORD,
and
entreat
the
favour
of
the
LORD,
and
the
LORD
repented
him
of
the
evil
which
he
had
pronounced
against
them?
Thus
should
we
commit
great
evil
against
our
own
souls,
\VS{20}And
there
was
also
a
man
that
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
Uriah
the
son
of
Shemaiah
of
Kiriath-jearim;
and
he
prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
according
to
all
the
words
of
Jeremiah:
\VS{21}and
when
Jehoiakim
the
king,
with
all
his
mighty
men,
and
all
the
princes,
heard
his
words,
the
king
sought
to
put
him
to
death;
but
when
Uriah
heard
it,
he
was
afraid,
and
fled,
and
went
into
Egypt:
\VS{22}and
Jehoiakim
the
king
sent
men
into
Egypt,
{\ADD{
namely}},
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor,
and
certain
men
with
him,
into
Egypt:
\VS{23}and
they
fetched
forth
Uriah
out
of
Egypt,
and
brought
him
unto
Jehoiakim
the
king;
who
slew
him
with
the
sword,
and
cast
his
dead
body
into
the
graves
of
the
common
people.
\VS{24}But
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.

\par }\Chap{27}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
came
this
word
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD
to
me:
Make
thee
bands
and
bars,
and
put
them
upon
thy
neck;
\VS{3}and
send
them
to
the
king
of
Edom,
and
to
the
king
of
Moab,
and
to
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
to
the
king
of
Tyre,
and
to
the
king
of
Zidon,
by
the
hand
of
the
messengers
which
come
to
Jerusalem
unto
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah;
\VS{4}and
give
them
a
charge
unto
their
masters;
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Thus
shall
ye
say
unto
your
masters;
\VS{5}I
have
made
the
earth,
the
man
and
the
beast
that
are
upon
the
face
of
the
earth,
by
my
great
power
and
by
my
outstretched
arm;
and
I
give
it
unto
whom
it
seemeth
right
unto
me.
\VS{6}And
now
have
I
given
all
these
lands
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king
of
Babylon,
my
servant;
and
the
beasts
of
the
field
also
have
I
given
him
to
serve
him.
\VS{7}And
all
the
nations
shall
serve
him,
and
his
son,
and
his
son’s
son,
until
the
time
of
his
own
land
come:
and
then
many
nations
and
great
kings
shall
serve
themselves
of
him.
\VS{8}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
nation
and
the
kingdom
which
will
not
serve
the
same
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
that
will
not
put
their
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
that
nation
will
I
punish,
saith
the
LORD,
with
the
sword,
and
with
the
famine,
and
with
the
pestilence,
until
I
have
consumed
them
by
his
hand.
\VS{9}But
as
for
you,
hearken
ye
not
to
your
prophets,
nor
to
your
diviners,
nor
to
your
dreams,
nor
to
your
soothsayers,
nor
to
your
sorcerers,
which
speak
unto
you,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon:
\VS{10}for
they
prophesy
a
lie
unto
you,
to
remove
you
far
from
your
land;
and
that
I
should
drive
you
out
and
ye
should
perish.
\VS{11}But
the
nation
that
shall
bring
their
neck
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
serve
him,
that
{\ADD{
nation
}}will
I
let
remain
in
their
own
land,
saith
the
LORD;
and
they
shall
till
it,
and
dwell
therein.
\VS{12}And
I
spake
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
according
to
all
these
words,
saying,
Bring
your
necks
under
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
serve
him
and
his
people,
and
live.
\VS{13}Why
will
ye
die,
thou
and
thy
people,
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence,
as
the
LORD
hath
spoken
concerning
the
nation
that
will
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon?
\VS{14}And
hearken
not
unto
the
words
of
the
prophets
that
speak
unto
you,
saying,
Ye
shall
not
serve
the
king
of
Babylon:
for
they
prophesy
a
lie
unto
you.
\VS{15}For
I
have
not
sent
them,
saith
the
LORD,
but
they
prophesy
falsely
in
my
name;
that
I
might
drive
you
out,
and
that
ye
might
perish,
ye,
and
the
prophets
that
prophesy
unto
you.
\VS{16}Also
I
spake
to
the
priests
and
to
all
this
people,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Hearken
not
to
the
words
of
your
prophets
that
prophesy
unto
you,
saying,
Behold,
the
vessels
of
the
LORD’S
house
shall
now
shortly
be
brought
again
from
Babylon:
for
they
prophesy
a
lie
unto
you.
\VS{17}Hearken
not
unto
them;
serve
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
live:
wherefore
should
this
city
become
a
desolation?
\VS{18}But
if
they
be
prophets,
and
if
the
word
of
the
LORD
be
with
them,
let
them
now
make
intercession
to
the
LORD
of
hosts,
that
the
vessels
which
are
left
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
at
Jerusalem,
go
not
to
Babylon.
\VS{19}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
concerning
the
pillars,
and
concerning
the
sea,
and
concerning
the
bases,
and
concerning
the
residue
of
the
vessels,
that
are
left
in
this
city,
\VS{20}which
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
took
not,
when
he
carried
away
captive
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon,
and
all
the
nobles
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem;
\VS{21}yea,
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
concerning
the
vessels
that
are
left
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
in
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah,
and
at
Jerusalem:
\VS{22}They
shall
be
carried
to
Babylon,
and
there
shall
they
be,
until
the
day
that
I
visit
them,
saith
the
LORD;
then
will
I
bring
them
up,
and
restore
them
to
this
place.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
the
same
year,
in
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
in
the
fourth
year,
in
the
fifth
month,
that
Hananiah
the
son
of
Azzur
the
prophet,
which
was
of
Gibeon,
spake
unto
me
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
in
the
presence
of
the
priests
and
of
all
the
people,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
speaketh
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
saying,
I
have
broken
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{3}Within
two
full
years
will
I
bring
again
into
this
place
all
the
vessels
of
the
LORD’S
house,
that
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
took
away
from
this
place,
and
carried
them
to
Babylon:
\VS{4}and
I
will
bring
again
to
this
place
Jeconiah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah
with
all
the
captives
of
Judah,
that
went
to
Babylon,
saith
the
LORD:
for
I
will
break
the
yoke
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{5}Then
the
prophet
Jeremiah
said
unto
the
prophet
Hananiah
in
the
presence
of
the
priests,
and
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people
that
stood
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
\VS{6}even
the
prophet
Jeremiah
said,
Amen:
the
LORD
do
so:
the
LORD
perform
thy
words
which
thou
hast
prophesied,
to
bring
again
the
vessels
of
the
LORD’S
house,
and
all
them
of
the
captivity,
from
Babylon
unto
this
place.
\VS{7}Nevertheless
hear
thou
now
this
word
that
I
speak
in
thine
ears,
and
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people:
\VS{8}The
prophets
that
have
been
before
me
and
before
thee
of
old
prophesied
against
many
countries,
and
against
great
kingdoms,
of
war,
and
of
evil,
and
of
pestilence.
\VS{9}The
prophet
which
prophesieth
of
peace,
when
the
word
of
the
prophet
shall
come
to
pass,
then
shall
the
prophet
be
known,
that
the
LORD
hath
truly
sent
him.
\VS{10}Then
Hananiah
the
prophet
took
the
bar
from
off
the
prophet
Jeremiah’s
neck,
and
brake
it.
\VS{11}And
Hananiah
spake
in
the
presence
of
all
the
people,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Even
so
will
I
break
the
yoke
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
within
two
full
years
from
off
the
neck
of
all
the
nations.
And
the
prophet
Jeremiah
went
his
way.
\VS{12}Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
Jeremiah,
after
that
Hananiah
the
prophet
had
broken
the
bar
from
off
the
neck
of
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{13}Go,
and
tell
Hananiah,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Thou
hast
broken
the
bars
of
wood;
but
thou shalt
make
in
their
stead
bars
of
iron.
\VS{14}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
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}Then
said
the
prophet
Jeremiah
unto
Hananiah
the
prophet,
Hear
now,
Hananiah;
the
LORD
hath
not
sent
thee;
but
thou
makest
this
people
to
trust
in
a
lie.
\VS{16}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
send
thee
away
from
off
the
face
of
the
earth:
this
year
thou shalt
die,
because
thou
hast
spoken
rebellion
against
the
LORD.
\VS{17}So
Hananiah
the
prophet
died
the
same
year
in
the
seventh
month.

give
your
daughters
to

seek

Let

neither
hearken

\VS{9}For
they
prophesy
falsely
unto
you
in

saith
the

\VS{10}For
thus
saith
the

After

I
will
visit
you,
and
perform
my
good
word
toward

in

I
know

thoughts
of

evil,
to
give
you
hope
in
your
latter
end.
\VS{12}And
ye
shall
call
upon
me,
and
ye
shall
go
and
pray
unto
me,
and
I
will
hearken
unto
you.
\VS{13}And
ye
shall
seek
me,
and
find
me,
when
ye
shall
search
for
me
with
all

heart.
\VS{14}And
I
will
be

LORD
of
hosts:
Behold,
I
will
send
upon
them
the
sword,
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
and
will
make
them
like
vile
figs,
that
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
bad.
\VS{18}And
I
will
pursue
after
them
with
the
sword,
with
the
famine,
and
with
the
pestilence,
and
will
deliver
them
to
be
tossed
to
and
fro
among
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
to
be
an
execration,
and
an
astonishment,
and
an
hissing,
and
a
reproach,
among
all
the
nations
whither
I
have
driven
them:
\VS{19}because
they
have
not
hearkened
to
my
words,
saith
the
LORD,
wherewith
I
sent
unto
them
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
up
early
and
sending
them;
but
ye
would
not
hear,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{20}Hear
ye
therefore
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
ye
of
the
captivity,
whom
I
have
sent
away
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon.
\VS{21}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
concerning
Ahab
the
son
of
Kolaiah,
and
concerning
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Maaseiah,
which
prophesy
a
lie
unto
you
in
my
name:
Behold,
I
will
deliver
them
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon;
and
he
shall
slay
them
before
your
eyes;
\VS{22}and
of
them
shall
be
taken
up
a
curse
by
all
the
captives
of
Judah
which
are
in
Babylon,
saying,
The
LORD
make
thee
like
Zedekiah
and
like
Ahab,
whom
the
king
Babylon
roasted
in
the
fire:
\VS{23}because
they
have
wrought
folly
in
Israel,
and
have
committed
adultery
with
their
neighbours’
wives,
and
have
spoken
words
in
my
name
falsely,
which
I
commanded
them
not;
and
I
am
he
that
knoweth,
and
am
witness,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{24}And
concerning
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite
thou shalt
speak,
saying,
\VS{25}Thus
speaketh
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
saying,
Because
thou
hast
sent
letters
in
thine
own
name
unto
all
the
people
that
are
at
Jerusalem,
and
to
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest,
and
to
all
the
priests,
saying,
\VS{26}The
LORD
hath
made
thee
priest
in
the
stead
of
Jehoiada
the
priest,
that
ye
should
be
officers
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
for
every
man
that
is
mad,
and
maketh
himself
a
prophet,
that
thou shouldest
put
him
in
the
stocks
and
in
shackles.
\VS{27}Now
therefore,
why
hast
thou
not
rebuked
Jeremiah
of
Anathoth,
which
maketh
himself
a
prophet
to
you,
\VS{28}forasmuch
as
he
hath
sent
unto
us
in
Babylon,
saying,
{\ADD{
The
captivity
}}is
long:
build
ye
houses,
and
dwell
in
them;
and
plant
gardens,
and
eat
the
fruit
of
them?
\VS{29}And
Zephaniah
the
priest
read
this
letter
in
the
ears
of
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
\VS{30}Then
came
the
word
of
the
LORD
unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{31}Send
to
all
them
of
the
captivity,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite:
Because
that
Shemaiah
hath
prophesied
unto
you,
and
I
sent
him
not,
and
he
hath
caused
you
to
trust
in
a
lie;
\VS{32}therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
punish
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
and
his
seed;
he
shall
not
have
a
man
to
dwell
among
this
people,
neither
shall
he
behold
the
good
that
I
will
do
unto
my
people,
saith
the
LORD:
because
he
hath
spoken
rebellion
against
the
LORD.

\par }\Chap{30}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
speaketh
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
saying,
Write
thee
all
the
words
that
I
have
spoken
unto
thee
in
a
book.
\VS{3}For,
lo,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
turn
again
the
captivity
of
my
people
Israel
and
Judah,
saith
the
LORD:
and
I
will
cause
them
to
return
to
the
land
that
I
gave
to
their
fathers,
and
they
shall
possess
it.
\VS{4}And
these
are
the
words
that
the
LORD
spake
concerning
Israel
and
concerning
Judah.
\VS{5}For
thus
saith
the
LORD:
We
have
heard
a
voice
of
trembling,
of
fear,
and
not
of
peace.
\VS{6}Ask
ye
now,
and
see
whether
a
man
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?
\VS{7}Alas!
for
that
day
is
great,
so
that
none
is
like
it:
it
is
even
the
time
of
Jacob’s
trouble;
but
he
shall
be
saved
out
of
it.
\VS{8}And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
that
I
will
break
his
yoke
from
off
thy
neck,
and
will
burst
thy
bands;
and
strangers
shall
no
more
serve
themselves
of
him:
\VS{9}but
they
shall
serve
the
LORD
their
God,
and
David
their
king,
whom
I
will
raise
up
unto
them.
\VS{10}Therefore
fear
thou
not,
O
Jacob
my
servant,
saith
the
LORD;
neither
be
dismayed,
O
Israel:
for,
lo,
I
will
save
thee
from
afar,
and
thy
seed
from
the
land
of
their
captivity;
and
Jacob
shall
return,
and
shall
be
quiet
and
at
ease,
and
none
shall
make
him
afraid.
\VS{11}For
I
am
with
thee,
saith
the
LORD,
to
save
thee:
for
I
will
make
a
full
end
of
all
the
nations
whither
I
have
scattered
thee,
but
I
will
not
make
a
full
end
of
thee;
but
I
will
correct
thee
with
judgment,
and
will
in
no
wise
leave
thee
unpunished.
\VS{12}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Thy
hurt
is
incurable,
and
thy
wound
grievous.
\VS{13}There
is
none
to
plead
thy
cause,
that
thou
mayest
be
bound
up:
thou
hast
no
healing
medicines.
\VS{14}All
thy
lovers
have
forgotten
thee;
they
seek
thee
not:
for
I
have
wounded
thee
with
the
wound
of
an
enemy,
with
the
chastisement
of
a
cruel
one;
for
the
greatness
of
thine
iniquity,
because
thy
sins
were
increased.
\VS{15}Why
criest
thou
for
thy
hurt?
thy
pain
is
incurable:
for
the
greatness
of
thine
iniquity,
because
thy
sins
were
increased,
I
have
done
these
things
unto
thee.
\VS{16}Therefore
all
they
that
devour
thee
shall
be
devoured;
and
all
thine
adversaries,
every
one
of
them,
shall
go
into
captivity;
and
they
that
spoil
thee
shall
be
a
spoil,
and
all
that
prey
upon
thee
will
I
give
for
a
prey.
\VS{17}For
I
will
restore
health
unto
thee,
and
I
will
heal
thee
of
thy
wounds,
saith
the
LORD;
because
they
have
called
thee
an
outcast,
{\ADD{
saying}},
It
is
Zion,
whom
no
man
seeketh
after.
\VS{18}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
turn
again
the
captivity
of
Jacob’s
tents,
and
have
compassion
on
his
dwelling
places;
and
the
city
shall
be
builded
upon
her
own
heap,
and
the
palace
shall
remain
after
the
manner
thereof.
\VS{19}And
out
of
them
shall
proceed
thanksgiving
and
the
voice
of
them
that
make
merry:
and
I
will
multiply
them,
and
they
shall
not
be
few;
I
will
also
glorify
them,
and
they
shall
not
be
small.
\VS{20}Their
children
also
shall
be
as
aforetime,
and
their
congregation
shall
be
established
before
me,
and
I
will
punish
all
that
oppress
them.
\VS{21}And
their
prince
shall
be
of
themselves,
and
their
ruler
shall
proceed
from
the
midst
of
them;
and
I
will
cause
him
to
draw
near,
and
he
shall
approach
unto
me:
for
who
is
he
that
hath
had
boldness
to
approach
unto
me?
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{22}And
ye
shall
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
your
God.
\VS{23}Behold,
the
tempest
of
the
LORD,
{\ADD{
even
his
}}fury,
is
gone
forth,
a
sweeping
tempest:
it
shall
burst
upon
the
head
of
the
wicked.
\VS{24}The
fierce
anger
of
the
LORD
shall
not
return,
until
he
have
executed,
and
till
he
have
performed
the
intents
of
his
heart:
in
the
latter
days
ye
shall
understand
it.

\par }\Chap{31}{\PP \VerseOne{1}At
that
time,
saith
the
LORD,
will
I
be
the
God
of
all
the
families
of
Israel,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
The
people
which
were
left
of
the
sword
found
grace
in
the
wilderness;
even
Israel,
when
I
went
to
cause
him
to
rest.
\VS{3}The
LORD
appeared
of
old
unto
me,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Yea,
I
have
loved
thee
with
an
everlasting
love:
therefore
with
lovingkindness
have
I
drawn
thee.
\VS{4}Again
will
I
build
thee,
and
thou shalt
be
built,
O
virgin
of
Israel:
again shalt
thou
be
adorned
with
thy
tabrets,
and shalt
go
forth
in
the
dances
of
them
that
make
merry.
\VS{5}Again shalt
thou
plant
vineyards
upon
the
mountains
of
Samaria:
the
planters
shall
plant,
and
shall
enjoy
{\ADD{
the
fruit
thereof}}.
\VS{6}For
there
shall
be
a
day,
that
the
watchmen
upon
the
hills
of
Ephraim
shall
cry,
Arise
ye,
and
let
us
go
up
to
Zion
unto
the
LORD
our
God.
\VS{7}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
Sing
with
gladness
for
Jacob,
and
shout
for
the
chief
of
the
nations:
publish
ye,
praise
ye,
and
say,
O
LORD,
save
thy
people,
the
remnant
of
Israel.
\VS{8}Behold,
I
will
bring
them
from
the
north
country,
and
gather
them
from
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
earth,
{\ADD{
and
}}with
them
the
blind
and
the
lame,
the
woman
with
child
and
her
that
travaileth
with
child
together:
a
great
company
shall
they
return
hither.
\VS{9}They
shall
come
with
weeping,
and
with
supplications
will
I
lead
them:
I
will
cause
them
to
walk
by
rivers
of
waters,
in
a
straight
way
wherein
they
shall
not
stumble:
for
I
am
a
father
to
Israel,
and
Ephraim
is
my
firstborn.
\VS{10}Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
ye
nations,
and
declare
it
in
the
isles
afar
off;
and
say,
He
that
scattered
Israel
will
gather
him,
and
keep
him,
as
a
shepherd
doth
his
flock.
\VS{11}For
the
LORD
hath
ransomed
Jacob,
and
redeemed
him
from
the
hand
of
him
that
was
stronger
than
he.
\VS{12}And
they
shall
come
and
sing
in
the
height
of
Zion,
and
shall
flow
together
unto
the
goodness
of
the
LORD,
to
the
corn,
and
to
the
wine,
and
to
the
oil,
and
to
the
young
of
the
flock
and
of
the
herd:
and
their
soul
shall
be
as
a
watered
garden;
and
they
shall
not
sorrow
any
more
at
all.
\VS{13}Then
shall
the
virgin
rejoice
in
the
dance,
and
the
young
men
and
the
old
together:
for
I
will
turn
their
mourning
into
joy,
and
will
comfort
them,
and
make
them
rejoice
from
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
the
LORD.
\VS{15}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
A
voice
is
heard
in
Ramah,
lamentation,
and
bitter
weeping,
Rachel
weeping
for
her
children;
she
refuseth
to
be
comforted
for
her
children,
because
they
are
not.
\VS{16}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Refrain
thy
voice
from
weeping,
and
thine
eyes
from
tears:
for
thy
work
shall
be
rewarded,
saith
the
LORD;
and
they
shall
come
again
from
the
land
of
the
enemy.
\VS{17}And
there
is
hope
for
thy
latter
end,
saith
the
LORD;
and
{\ADD{
thy
}}children
shall
come
again
to
their
own
border.
\VS{18}I
have
surely
heard
Ephraim
bemoaning
himself
{\ADD{
thus}},
Thou
hast
chastised
me,
and
I
was
chastised,
as
a
calf
unaccustomed
{\ADD{
to
the
yoke}}:
turn
thou
me,
and
I
shall
be
turned;
for
thou
art
the
LORD
my
God.
\VS{19}Surely
after
that
I
was
turned,
I
repented;
and
after
that
I
was
instructed,
I
smote
upon
my
thigh:
I
was
ashamed,
yea,
even
confounded,
because
I
did
bear
the
reproach
of
my
youth.
\VS{20}Is
Ephraim
my
dear
son?
is
he
a
pleasant
child?
for
as
often
as
I
speak
against
him,
I
do
earnestly
remember
him
still:
therefore
my
bowels
are
troubled
for
him;
I
will
surely
have
mercy
upon
him,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{21}Set
thee
up
waymarks,
make
thee guide-posts:
set
thine
heart
toward
the
highway,
even
the
way
by
which
thou
wentest:
turn
again,
O
virgin
of
Israel,
turn
again
to
these
thy
cities.
\VS{22}How
long
wilt
thou
go
hither
and
thither,
O
thou
backsliding
daughter?
for
the
LORD
hath
created
a
new
thing
in
the
earth,
A
woman
shall
encompass
a
man.
\VS{23}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Yet
again
shall
they
use
this
speech
in
the
land
of
Judah
and
in
the
cities
thereof,
when
I
shall
bring
again
their
captivity:
The
LORD
bless
thee,
O
habitation
of
justice,
O
mountain
of
holiness.
\VS{24}And
Judah
and
all
the
cities
thereof
shall
dwell
therein
together;
the
husbandmen,
and
they
that
go
about
with
flocks.
\VS{25}For
I
have
satiated
the
weary
soul,
and
every
sorrowful
soul
have
I
replenished.
\VS{26}Upon
this
I
awaked,
and
beheld;
and
my
sleep
was
sweet
unto
me.
\VS{27}Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
sow
the
house
of
Israel
and
the
house
of
Judah
with
the
seed
of
man,
and
with
the
seed
of
beast.
\VS{28}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
like
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
the
LORD.
\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}But
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,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
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
that
I
took
them
by
the
hand
to
bring
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt;
which
my
covenant
they
brake,
although
I
was
an
husband
unto
them,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{33}But
this
is
the
covenant
that
I
will
make
with
the
house
of
Israel
after
those
days,
saith
the
LORD;
I
will
put
my
law
in
their
inward
parts,
and
in
their
heart
will
I
write
it;
and
I
will
be
their
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
the
LORD:
for
they
shall
all
know
me,
from
the
least
of
them
unto
the
greatest
of
them,
saith
the
LORD:
for
I
will
forgive
their
iniquity,
and
their
sin
will
I
remember
no
more.
\VS{35}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
which
giveth
the
sun
for
a
light
by
day,
and
the
ordinances
of
the
moon
and
of
the
stars
for
a
light
by
night,
which
stirreth
up

sea,

waves
thereof
roar;

of
hosts
is
his
name:

these
ordinances
depart
from
before
me,

the
LORD,
then
the
seed
of
Israel
also
shall
cease
from
being
a
nation
before
me
for
ever.
\VS{37}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
If
heaven
above
can
be
measured,
and
the
foundations
of
the
earth
searched
out
beneath,
then
will
I
also
cast
off
all
the
seed
of
Israel
for
all
that
they
have
done,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{38}Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
the
city
shall
be
built
to
the
LORD
from
the
tower
of
Hananel
unto
the
gate
of
the
corner.
\VS{39}And
the
measuring
line
shall
yet
go
out
straight
onward
unto
the
hill
Gareb,
and
shall
turn
about
unto
Goah.
\VS{40}And
the
whole
valley
of
the
dead
bodies,
and
of
the
ashes,
and
all
the
fields
unto
the
brook
Kidron,
unto
the
corner
of
the
horse
gate
toward
the
east,
shall
be
holy
unto
the
LORD;
it
shall
not
be
plucked
up,
nor
thrown
down
any
more
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD
in
the
tenth
year
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
which
was
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar.
\VS{2}Now
at
that
time
the
king
of
Babylon’s
army
besieged
Jerusalem:
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet
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,
Wherefore
dost
thou
prophesy,
and
say,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
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,
but
shall
surely
be
delivered
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
the
LORD:
though
ye
fight
with
the
Chaldeans,
ye
shall
not
prosper?
\VS{6}And
Jeremiah
said,
The
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
me,
saying,
\VS{7}Behold,
Hanamel
the
son
of
Shallum
thine
uncle
shall
come
unto
thee,
saying,
Buy
thee
my
field
that
is
in
Anathoth:
for
the
right
of
redemption
is
thine
to
buy
it.
\VS{8}So
Hanamel
mine
uncle’s
son
came
to
me
in
the
court
of
the
guard
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
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
the
LORD.
\VS{9}And
I
bought
the
field
that
was
in
Anathoth
of
Hanamel
mine
uncle’s
son,
and
weighed
him
the
money,
even
seventeen
shekels
of
silver.
\VS{10}And
I
subscribed
the
deed,
and
sealed
it,
and
called
witnesses,
and
weighed
him
the
money
in
the
balances.
\VS{11}So
I
took
the
deed
of
the
purchase,
both
that
which
was
sealed,
{\ADD{
according
to
}}the
law
and
custom,
and
that
which
was
open:
\VS{12}and
I
delivered
the
deed
of
the
purchase
unto
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah,
the
son
of
Mahseiah,
in
the
presence
of
Hanamel
mine
uncle’s
{\ADD{
son}},
and
in
the
presence
of
the
witnesses
that
subscribed
the
deed
of
the
purchase,
before
all
the
Jews
that
sat
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
\VS{13}And
I
charged
Baruch
before
them,
saying,
\VS{14}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Take
these
deeds,
this
deed
of
the
purchase,
both
that
which
is
sealed,
and
this
deed
which
is
open,
and
put
them
in
an
earthen
vessel;
that
they
may
continue
many
days.
\VS{15}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Houses
and
fields
and
vineyards
shall
yet
again
be
bought
in
this
land.
\VS{16}Now
after
I
had
delivered
the
deed
of
the
purchase
unto
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah,
I
prayed
unto
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{17}Ah
Lord
GOD!
behold,
thou
hast
made
the
heaven
and
the
earth
by
thy
great
power
and
by
thy
stretched
out
arm;
there
is
nothing
too
hard
for
thee:
\VS{18}which
shewest
mercy
unto
thousands,
and
recompensest
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
into
the
bosom
of
their
children
after
them:
the
great,
the
mighty
God,
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name:
\VS{19}great
in
counsel,
and
mighty
in
work:
whose
eyes
are
open
upon
all
the
ways
of
the
sons
of
men;
to
give
every
one
according
to
his
ways,
and
according
to
the
fruit
of
his
doings:
\VS{20}which
didst
set
signs
and
wonders
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
even
unto
this
day,
both
in
Israel
and
among
{\ADD{
other
}}men;
and
madest
thee
a
name,
as
at
this
day;
\VS{21}and
didst
bring
forth
thy
people
Israel
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
with
signs,
and
with
wonders,
and
with
a
strong
hand,
and
with
a
stretched
out
arm,
and
with
great
terror;
\VS{22}and
gavest
them
this
land,
which
thou
didst
swear
to
their
fathers
to
give
them,
a
land
flowing
milk
and
honey;
\VS{23}and
they
came
in,
and
possessed
it;
but
they
obeyed
not
thy
voice,
neither
walked
in
thy
law;
they
have
done
nothing
of
all
that
thou
commandedst
them
to
do:
therefore
thou
hast
caused
all
this
evil
to
come
upon
them:
\VS{24}Behold
the
mounts,
they
are
come
unto
the
city
to
take
it;
and
the
city
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans
that
fight
against
it,
because
of
the
sword,
and
of
the
famine,
and
of
the
pestilence:
and
what
thou
hast
spoken
is
come
to
pass;
and,
behold,
thou
seest
it.
\VS{25}And
thou
hast
said
unto
me,
O
Lord
GOD,
Buy
thee
the
field
for
money,
and
call
witnesses;
whereas
the
city
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{26}Then
came
the
word
of
the
LORD
unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{27}Behold,
I
am
the
LORD,
the
God
of
all
flesh:
is
there
any
thing
too
hard
for
me?
\VS{28}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
give
this
city
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
take
it:
\VS{29}and
the
Chaldeans,
that
fight
against
this
city,
shall
come
and
set
this
city
on
fire,
and
burn
it,
with
the
houses,
upon
whose
roofs
they
have
offered
incense
unto
Baal,
and
poured
out
drink
offerings
unto
other
gods,
to
provoke
me
to
anger.
\VS{30}For
the
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
have
only
done
that
which
was
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
the
LORD.
\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
it
from
before
my
face:
\VS{32}because
of
all
the
evil
of
the
children
of
Israel
and
of
the
children
of
Judah,
which
they
have
done
to
provoke
me
to
anger,
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
their
priests,
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
up
early
and
teaching
them,
yet
they
have
not
hearkened
to
receive
instruction.
\VS{34}But
they
set
their
abominations
in
the
house
which
is
called
by
my
name,
to
defile
it.
\VS{35}And
they
built
the
high
places
of
Baal,
which
are
in
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
to
cause
their
sons
and
their
daughters
to
pass
through
{\ADD{
the
fire
}}unto
Molech;
which
I
commanded
them
not,
neither
came
it
into
my
mind,
that
they
should
do
this
abomination;
to
cause
Judah
to
sin.
\VS{36}And
now
therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
concerning
this
city,
whereof
ye
say,
It
is
given
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence:
\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
God:
\VS{39}and
I
will
give
them
one
heart
and
one
way,
that
they
may
fear
me
for
ever;
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
turn
away
from
them,
to
do
them
good;
and
I
will
put
my
fear
in
their
hearts,
that
they
shall
not
depart
from
me.
\VS{41}Yea,
I
will
rejoice
over
them
to
do
them
good,
and
I
will
plant
them
in
this
land
assuredly
with
my
whole
heart
and
with
my
whole
soul.
\VS{42}For
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Like
as
I
have
brought
all
this
great
evil
upon
this
people,
so
will
I
bring
upon
them
all
the
good
that
I
have
promised
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
deeds,
and
seal
them,
and
call
witnesses,
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the
places
about
Jerusalem,
and
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
hill
country,
and
cities
of
the
lowland,
and
in
the
cities
of
the
South:
for
I
will
cause
their
captivity
to
return,
saith
the
LORD.

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Moreover
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
Jeremiah
the
second
time,
while
he
was
yet
shut
up
in
the
court
of
the
guard,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD
that
doeth
it,
the
LORD
that
formeth
it
to
establish
it;
the
LORD
is
his
name:
\VS{3}Call
unto
me,
and
I
will
answer
thee,
and
will
shew
thee
great
things,
and
difficult,
which
thou
knowest
not.
\VS{4}For
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
concerning
the
houses
of
this
city,
and
concerning
the
houses
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
which
are
broken
down
{\ADD{
to
make
a
defence
}}against
the
mounts,
and
against
the
sword:
\VS{5}they
come
to
fight
with
the
Chaldeans,
but
it
is
to
fill
them
with
the
dead
bodies
of
men,
whom
I
have
slain
in
mine
anger
and
in
my
fury,
and
for
all
whose
wickedness
I
have
hid
my
face
from
this
city.
\VS{6}Behold,
I
will
bring
it
health
and
cure,
and
I
will
cure
them;
and
I
will
reveal
unto
them
abundance
of
peace
and
truth.
\VS{7}And
I
will
cause
the
captivity
of
Judah
and
the
captivity
of
Israel
to
return,
and
will
build
them,
as
at
the
first.
\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
{\ADD{
this
city
}}shall
be
to
me
for
a
name
of
joy,
for
a
praise
and
for
a
glory,
before
all
the
nations
of
the
earth,
which
shall
hear
all
the
good
that
I
do
unto
them,
and
shall
fear
and
tremble
for
all
the
good
and
for
all
the
peace
that
I
procure
unto
it.
\VS{10}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Yet
again
there
shall
be
heard
in
this
place,
whereof
ye
say,
It
is
waste,
without
man
and
without

even
in
the
cities

and
without

joy
and

voice
of
gladness,

bridegroom
and
the
voice
of
the

the
voice
of
them
that
say,
Give
thanks
to
the

for
the
LORD
is
good,
for
his

{\ADD{

For
I
will
cause
the
captivity
of
the
land
to
return
as
at
the
first,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{12}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts:
Yet
again
shall
there
be
in
this
place,
which
is
waste,
without
man
and
without
beast,
and
in
all
the
cities
thereof,
an
habitation
of
shepherds
causing
their
flocks
to
lie
down.
\VS{13}In
the
cities
of
the
hill
country,
in
the
cities
of
the

and
in
the
cities
of
the
South,
and
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
and
in
the
places
about
Jerusalem,
and
in
the
cities
of
Judah,
shall
the
flocks
again
pass
under
the
hands
of
him
that
telleth
them,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{14}Behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
perform
that
good
word
which
I
have
spoken
concerning
the
house
of
Israel
and
concerning
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
safely:
and
this
is
{\ADD{
the
name
}}whereby
she
shall
be
called,
The
LORD
is
our
righteousness.
\VS{17}For
thus
saith
the
LORD:
David
shall
never
want
a
man
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
house
of
Israel;
\VS{18}neither
shall
the
priests
the
Levites
want
a
man
before
me
to
offer
burnt
offerings,
and
to
burn
oblations,
and
to
do
sacrifice
continually.
\VS{19}And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{20}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
If
ye
can
break
my
covenant
of
the
day,
and
my
covenant
of
the
night,
so
that
there
should
not
be
day
and
night
in
their
season;
\VS{21}then
may
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
heaven
cannot
be
numbered,
neither
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
the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{24}Considerest
thou
not
what
this
people
have
spoken,
saying,
The
two
families
which
the
LORD
did
choose,
he
hath
cast
them
off?
thus
do
they
despise
my
people,
that
they
should
be
no
more
a
nation
before
them.
\VS{25}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
If
my
covenant
of
day
and
night
{\ADD{
stand
}}not,
if
I
have
not
appointed
the
ordinances
of
heaven
and
earth;
\VS{26}then
will
I
also
cast
away
the
seed
of
Jacob,
and
of
David
my
servant,
so
that
I
will
not
take
of
his
seed
to
be
rulers
over
the
seed
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
Jacob:
for
I
will
cause
their
captivity
to
return,
and
will
have
mercy
on
them.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
which
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
when
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
all
his
army,
and
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
that
were
under
his
dominion,
and
all
the
peoples,
fought
against
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
cities
thereof,
saying:
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
Go,
and
speak
to
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
tell
him,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
Behold,
I
will
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
surely
be
taken,
and
delivered
into
his
hand;
and
thine
eyes
shall
behold
the
eyes
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
speak
with
thee
mouth
to
mouth,
and
thou shalt
go
to
Babylon.
\VS{4}Yet
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah:
thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
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
which
were
before
thee,
so
shall
they
make
a
burning
for
thee;
and
they
shall
lament
thee,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Ah
lord!
for
I
have
spoken
the
word,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{6}Then
Jeremiah
the
prophet
spake
all
these
words
unto
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
in
Jerusalem,
\VS{7}when
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
{\ADD{
alone
}}remained
of
the
cities
of
Judah
{\ADD{
as
}}fenced
cities.
\VS{8}The
word
that
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
after
that
the
king
Zedekiah
had
made
a
covenant
with
all
the
people
which
were
at
Jerusalem,
to
proclaim
liberty
unto
them;
\VS{9}that
every
man
should
let
his
manservant,
and
every
man
his
maidservant,
being
an
Hebrew
or
an
Hebrewess,
go
free;
that
none
should
serve
himself
of
them,
{\ADD{
to
wit}},
of
a
Jew
his
brother:
\VS{10}And
all
the
princes
and
all
the
people
obeyed,
which
had
entered
into
the
covenant,
that
every
one
should
let
his
manservant,
and
every
one
his
maidservant,
go
free,
that
none
should
serve
themselves
of
them
any
more;
they
obeyed,
and
let
them
go:
\VS{11}but
afterwards
they
turned,
and
caused
the
servants
and
the
handmaids,
whom
they
had
let
go
free,
to
return,
and
brought
them
into
subjection
for
servants
and
for
handmaids:
\VS{12}Therefore
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{13}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
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
that
is
an
Hebrew,
which
hath
been
sold
unto
thee,
and
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
ye
were
now
turned,
and
had
done
that
which
is
right
in
mine
eyes,
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
turned
and
profaned
my
name,
and
caused
every
man
his
servant,
and
every
man
his
handmaid,
whom
ye
had
let
go
free
at
their
pleasure,
to
return;
and
ye
brought
them
into
subjection,
to
be
unto
you
for
servants
and
for
handmaids.
\VS{17}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Ye
have
not
hearkened
unto
me,
to
proclaim
liberty,
every
man
to
his
brother,
and
every
man
to
his
neighbour:
behold,
I
proclaim
unto
you
a
liberty,
saith
the
LORD,
to
the
sword,
to
the
pestilence,
and
to
the
famine;
and
I
will
make
you
to
be
tossed
to
and
fro
among
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth.
\VS{18}And
I
will
give
the
men
that
have
transgressed
my
covenant,
which
have
not
performed
the
words
of
the
covenant
which
they
made
before
me,
when
they
cut
the
calf
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,
which
passed
between
the
parts
of
the
calf;
\VS{20}I
will
even
give
them
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
their
life:
and
their
dead
bodies
shall
be
for
meat
unto
the
fowls
of
the
heaven,
and
to
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
will
command,
saith
the
LORD,
and
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.

word
which
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
saying,
\VS{2}Go
unto

and
bring
them
into
the
house
of

LORD,
into

chambers,
and
give

wine
to

\VS{3}Then
I
took

the
son
of
Jeremiah,
the
son
of
Habazziniah,
and
his
brethren,
and
all
his
sons,
and
the
whole
house
of

Rechabites;
\VS{4}and
I
brought

into

LORD,
into
the
chamber
of
the
sons
of
Hanan
the
son
of
Igdaliah,

man
of

which
was
by

chamber
of
the
princes,
which
was
above
the
chamber
of
Maaseiah
the
son
of
Shallum,
the
keeper
of
the
door:
\VS{5}And
I
set
before
the
sons
of
the
house
of
the
Rechabites
bowls
full
of
wine,
and
cups,
and
I
said
unto
them,
Drink
ye
wine.
\VS{6}But
they
said,
We
will
drink
no
wine:
for
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
our
father
commanded
us,
saying,
Ye
shall
drink
no
wine,
neither
ye,
nor
your
sons,
for
ever:
\VS{7}neither
shall
ye
build
house,
nor
sow
seed,
nor
plant
vineyard,
nor
have
any:
but
all
your
days
ye
shall
dwell
in
tents;
that
ye
may
live
many
days
in
the
land
wherein
ye
sojourn.
\VS{8}And
we
have
obeyed
the
voice
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
our
father
in
all
that
he
charged
us,
to
drink
no
wine
all

we,

to
build
houses
for
us
to
dwell
in:
neither
have
we
vineyard,
nor
field,
nor
seed:
\VS{10}but
we
have
dwelt
in
tents,
and
have
obeyed,
and
done
according
to
all
that
Jonadab
our
father
commanded
us.
\VS{11}But
it
came
to
pass,
when
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
up
into
the
land,
that
we
said,
Come,
and
let
us
go
to
Jerusalem
for
fear
of
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
for
fear
of
the
army
of
the
Syrians;
so
we
dwell
at
Jerusalem.
\VS{12}Then
came
the
word
of
the
LORD
unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{13}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Go,
and
say
to
the
men
of
Judah
and
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
Will
ye
not
receive
instruction
to
hearken
to
my
words?
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{14}The
words
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab,
that
he
commanded
his
sons,
not
to
drink
wine,
are
performed,
and
unto
this
day
they
drink
none,
for
they
obey
their
father’s
commandment:
but
I
have
spoken
unto
you,
rising
up
early
and
speaking;
and
ye
have
not
hearkened
unto
me.
\VS{15}I
have
sent
also
unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
up
early
and
sending
them,
saying,
Return
ye
now
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
and
amend
your
doings,
and
go
not
after
other
gods
to
serve
them,
and
ye
shall
dwell
in
the
land
which
I
have
given
to
you
and
to
your
fathers:
but
ye
have
not
inclined
your
ear,
nor
hearkened
unto
me.
\VS{16}Forasmuch
as
the
sons
of
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
have
performed
the
commandment
of
their
father
which
he
commanded
them,
but
this
people
hath
not
hearkened
unto
me;
\VS{17}therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
bring
upon
Judah
and
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
all
the
evil
that
I
have
pronounced
against
them:
because
I
have
spoken
unto
them,
but
they
have
not
heard;
and
I
have
called
unto
them,
but
they
have
not
answered.
\VS{18}And
Jeremiah
said
unto
the
house
of
the
Rechabites,
Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Because
ye
have
obeyed
the
commandment
of
Jonadab
your
father,
and
kept
all
his
precepts,
and
done
according
unto
all
that
he
commanded
you;

thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Jonadab
the
son
of
Rechab
shall
not
want
a
man
to
stand
before
me
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{36}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
that
this
word
came
unto
Jeremiah
from
the
LORD,
saying,
\VS{2}Take
thee
a
roll
of
a
book,
and
write
thereon
all
the
words
that
I
have
spoken
unto
thee
against
Israel,
and
against
Judah,
and
against
all
the
nations,
from
the
day
I
spake
unto
thee,
from
the
days
of
Josiah,
even
unto
this
day.
\VS{3}It
may
be
that
the
house
of
Judah
will
hear
all
the
evil
which
I
purpose
to
do
unto
them;
that
they
may
return
every
man
from
his
evil
way;
that
I
may
forgive
their
iniquity
and
their
sin.
\VS{4}Then
Jeremiah
called
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah;
and
Baruch
wrote
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all
the
words
of
the
LORD,
which
he
had
spoken
unto
him,
upon
a
roll
of
a
book.
\VS{5}And
Jeremiah
commanded
Baruch,
saying,
I
am
shut
up;
I
cannot
go
into
the
house
of
the
LORD:
\VS{6}therefore
go
thou,
and
read
in
the
roll,
which
thou
hast
written
from
my
mouth,
the
words
of
the
LORD
in
the
ears
of
the
people
in
the
LORD’S
house
upon
the
fast
day:
and
also
thou shalt
read
them
in
the
ears
of
all
Judah
that
come
out
of
their
cities.
\VS{7}It
may
be
they
will
present
their
supplication
before
the
LORD,
and
will
return
every
one
from
his
evil
way:
for
great
is
the
anger
and
the
fury
that
the
LORD
hath
pronounced
against
this
people.
\VS{8}And
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah
did
according
to
all
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
commanded
him,
reading
in
the
book
the
words
of
the
LORD
in
the
LORD’S
house.
\VS{9}Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
fifth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
in
the
ninth
month,
that
all
the
people
in
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
people
that
came
from
the
cities
of
Judah
unto
Jerusalem,
proclaimed
a
fast
before
the
LORD.
\VS{10}Then
read
Baruch
in
the
book
the
words
of
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
in
the
chamber
of
Gemariah
the
son
of
Shaphan
the
scribe,
in
the
upper
court,
at
the
entry
of
the
new
gate
of
the
LORD’S
house,
in
the
ears
of
all
the
people.
\VS{11}And
when
Micaiah
the
son
of
Gemariah,
the
son
of
Shaphan,
had
heard
out
of
the
book
all
the
words
of
the
LORD,
\VS{12}he
went
down
into
the
king’s
house,
into
the
scribe’s
chamber:
and,
lo,
all
the
princes
sat
there,
even
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}Then
Micaiah
declared
unto
them
all
the
words
that
he
had
heard,
when
Baruch
read
the
book
in
the
ears
of
the
people.
\VS{14}Therefore
all
the
princes
sent
Jehudi
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Cushi,
unto
Baruch,
saying,
Take
in
thine
hand
the
roll
wherein
thou
hast
read
in
the
ears
of
the
people,
and
come.
So
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah
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.
So
Baruch
read
it
in
their
ears.
\VS{16}Now
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had
heard
all
the
words,
they
turned
in
fear
one
toward
another,
and
said
unto
Baruch,
We
will
surely
tell
the
king
of
all
these
words.
\VS{17}And
they
asked
Baruch,
saying,
tell
us
now,
How
didst
thou
write
all
these
words
at
his
mouth?
\VS{18}Then
Baruch
answered
them,
He
pronounced
all
these
words
unto
me
with
his
mouth,
and
I
wrote
them
with
ink
in
the
book.
\VS{19}Then
said
the
princes
unto
Baruch,
Go,
hide
thee,
thou
and
Jeremiah;
and
let
no
man
know
where
ye
be.
\VS{20}And
they
went
in
to
the
king
into
the
court;
but
they
had
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}So
the
king
sent
Jehudi
to
fetch
the
roll:
and
he
took
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
which
stood
beside
the
king.
\VS{22}Now
the
king
sat
in
the
winter
house
in
the
ninth
month:
and
{\ADD{
there
was
a
fire
in
}}the brasier
burning
before
him.
\VS{23}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jehudi
had
read
three
or
four
leaves,
that
{\ADD{
the
king
}}cut
it
with
the
penknife,
and
cast
it
into
the
fire
that
was
in
the brasier,
until
all
the
roll
was
consumed
in
the
fire
that
was
in
the brasier.
\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
king’s
son,
and
Seraiah
the
son
of
Azriel,
and
Shelemiah
the
son
of
Abdeel,
to
take
Baruch
the
scribe
and
Jeremiah
the
prophet:
but
the
LORD
hid
them.
\VS{27}Then
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah,
after
that
the
king
had
burned
the
roll,
and
the
words
which
Baruch
wrote
at
the
mouth
of
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
concerning
Jehoiakim
king
of
Judah
thou shalt
say,
Thus
saith
the
LORD:
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
thence
man
and
beast?
\VS{30}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
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
punish
him
and
his
seed
and
his
servants
for
their
iniquity;
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,
but
they
hearkened
not.
\VS{32}Then
took
Jeremiah
another
roll,
and
gave
it
to
Baruch
the
scribe,
the
son
of
Neriah;
who
wrote
therein
from
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
all
the
words
of
the
book
which
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
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Josiah
reigned
as
king,
instead
of
Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
whom
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
made
king
in
the
land
of
Judah.
\VS{2}But
neither
he,
nor
his
servants,
nor
the
people
of
the
land,
did
hearken
unto
the
words
of
the
LORD,
which
he
spake
by
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
the
LORD
our
God
for
us.
\VS{4}Now
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
brake
up
from
Jerusalem.
\VS{6}Then
came
the
word
of
the
LORD
unto
the
prophet
Jeremiah,
saying,
\VS{7}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
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
they
shall
take
it,
and
burn
it
with
fire.
\VS{9}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Deceive
not
yourselves,
saying,
The
Chaldeans
shall
surely
depart
from
us:
for
they
shall
not
depart.
\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
that
when
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans
was
broken
up
from
Jerusalem
for
fear
of
Pharaoh’s
army,
\VS{12}then
Jeremiah
went
forth
out
of
Jerusalem
to
go
into
the
land
of
Benjamin,
to
receive
his
portion
there,
in
the
midst
of
the
people.
\VS{13}And
when
he
was
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin,
a
captain
of
the
ward
was
there,
whose
name
was
Irijah,
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
the
son
of
Hananiah;
and
he
laid
hold
on
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
saying,
Thou fallest
away
to
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{14}Then
said
Jeremiah,
It
is
false;
I
fall
not
away
to
the
Chaldeans;
but
he
hearkened
not
to
him:
so
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
prison
in
the
house
of
Jonathan
the
scribe;
for
they
had
made
that
the
prison.
\VS{16}When
Jeremiah
was
come
into
the
dungeon
house,
and
into
the cells,
and
Jeremiah
had
remained
there
many
days;
\VS{17}Then
Zedekiah
the
king
sent,
and
fetched
him:
and
the
king
asked
him
secretly
in
his
house,
and
said,
Is
there
any
word
from
the
LORD?
And
Jeremiah
said,
There
is.
He
said
also,
Thou shalt
be
delivered
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
\VS{18}Moreover
Jeremiah
said
unto
king
Zedekiah,
Wherein
have
I
sinned
against
thee,
or
against
thy
servants,
or
against
this
people,
that
ye
have
put
me
in
prison?
\VS{19}Where
now
are
your
prophets
which
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,
O
my
lord
the
king:
let
my
supplication,
I
pray
thee,
be
accepted
before
thee;
that
thou
cause
me
not
to
return
to
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.
Thus
Jeremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
guard.

\par }\Chap{38}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Shephatiah
the
son
of
Mattan,
and
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Pashhur,
and
Jucal
the
son
of
Shelemiah,
and
Pashhur
the
son
of
Malchijah,
heard
the
words
that
Jeremiah
spake
unto
all
the
people,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
He
that
abideth
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
his
life
shall
be
unto
him
for
a
prey,
and
he
shall
live.
\VS{3}Thus
saith
the
LORD,
This
city
shall
surely
be
given
into
the
hand
of
the
army
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
he
shall
take
it.
\VS{4}Then
the
princes
said
unto
the
king,
Let
this
man,
we
pray
thee,
be
put
to
death;
forasmuch
as
he
weakeneth
the
hands
of
the
men
of
war
that
remain
in
this
city,
and
the
hands
of
all
the
people,
in
speaking
such
words
unto
them:
for
this
man
seeketh
not
the
welfare
of
this
people,
but
the
hurt.
\VS{5}And
Zedekiah
the
king
said,
Behold,
he
is
in
your
hand:
for
the
king
is
not
he
that
can
do
any
thing
against
you.
\VS{6}Then
took
they
Jeremiah,
and
cast
him
into
the
dungeon
of
Malchijah
the
king’s
son,
that
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}Now
when
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian,
an
eunuch,
which
was
in
the
king’s
house,
heard
that
they
had
put
Jeremiah
in
the
dungeon;
the
king
then
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Benjamin;
\VS{8}Ebed-melech
went
forth
out
of
the
king’s
house,
and
spake
to
the
king,
saying,
\VS{9}My
lord
the
king,
these
men
have
done
evil
in
all
that
they
have
done
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
whom
they
have
cast
into
the
dungeon;
and
he
is
like
to
die
in
the
place
where
he
is
because
of
the
famine:
for
there
is
no
more
bread
in
the
city.
\VS{10}Then
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}So
Ebed-melech
took
the
men
with
him,
and
went
into
the
house
of
the
king
under
the
treasury,
and
took
thence
old
cast
clouts
and
old
rotten
rags,
and
let
them
down
by
cords
into
the
dungeon
to
Jeremiah.
\VS{12}And
Ebed-melech
the
Ethiopian
said
unto
Jeremiah,
Put
now
these
old
cast
clouts
and
rotten
rags
under
thine
armholes
under
the
cords.
And
Jeremiah
did
so.
\VS{13}So
they
drew
up
Jeremiah
with
the
cords,
and
took
him
up
out
of
the
dungeon:
and
Jeremiah
remained
in
the
court
of
the
guard.
\VS{14}Then
Zedekiah
the
king
sent,
and
took
Jeremiah
the
prophet
unto
him
into
the
third
entry
that
is
in
the
house
of
the
LORD:
and
the
king
said
unto
Jeremiah,
I
will
ask
thee
a
thing;
hide
nothing
from
me.
\VS{15}Then
Jeremiah
said
unto
Zedekiah,
If
I
declare
it
unto
thee,
wilt
thou
not
surely
put
me
to
death?
and
if
I
give
thee
counsel,
thou
wilt
not
hearken
unto
me.
\VS{16}So
Zedekiah
the
king
sware
secretly
unto
Jeremiah,
saying,
As
the
LORD
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}Then
said
Jeremiah
unto
Zedekiah,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
If
thou
wilt
go
forth
unto
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
thine
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
Zedekiah
the
king
said
unto
Jeremiah,
I
am
afraid
of
the
Jews
that
are
fallen
away
to
the
Chaldeans,
lest
they
deliver
me
into
their
hand,
and
they
mock
me.
\VS{20}But
Jeremiah
said,
They
shall
not
deliver
thee.
Obey,
I
beseech
thee,
the
voice
of
the
LORD,
in
that
which
I
speak
unto
thee:
so
it
shall
be
well
with
thee,
and
thy
soul
shall
live.
\VS{21}But
if
thou
refuse
to
go
forth,
this
is
the
word
that
the
LORD
hath
shewed
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
those
women
shall
say,
Thy
familiar
friends
have
set
thee
on,
and
have
prevailed
over
thee:
{\ADD{
now
that
}}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,
but shalt
be
taken
by
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon:
and
thou shalt
cause
this
city
to
be
burned
with
fire.
\VS{24}Then
said
Zedekiah
unto
Jeremiah,
Let
no
man
know
of
these
words,
and
thou shalt
not
die.
\VS{25}But
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:
also
what
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}Then
came
all
the
princes
unto
Jeremiah,
and
asked
him:
and
he
told
them
according
to
all
these
words
that
the
king
had
commanded.
So
they
left
off
speaking
with
him;
for
the
matter
was
not
perceived.
\VS{28}So
Jeremiah
abode
in
the
court
of
the
guard
until
the
day
that
Jerusalem
was
taken.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Jerusalem
was
taken,

\par }\Chap{39}{\PP \VerseOne{1}(IN

came
Nebuchadrezzar
king

his
army
against
Jerusalem,

besieged
it;
\VS{2}in
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah,
in
the
fourth
month,
the
ninth
day
of

month,
a
breach
was
made
in

sat
in

it
came
to

that
when
Zedekiah

night,
by

garden,
by

went
out

way
of
the
Arabah.
\VS{5}But
the
army
of

Chaldeans
pursued
after
them,
and
overtook
Zedekiah
in

plains

when
they
had
taken
him,
they
brought
him
up
to
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
to
Riblah
in
the
land

he
gave
judgment
upon
him.

the

slew
the
sons

Zedekiah
in
Riblah
before
his
eyes:
also
the
king
of
Babylon
slew
all
the
nobles
of
Judah.
\VS{7}Moreover
he
put
out
Zedekiah’s
eyes,
and
bound
him
in
fetters,
to
carry
him
to
Babylon.
\VS{8}And
the
Chaldeans
burned
the
king’s
house,
and
the
houses
of
the
people,
with
fire,
and
brake
down
the
walls
of
Jerusalem.
\VS{9}Then
Nebuzaradan
the
captain

carried
away
captive
into

the

remained
in
the
city,

that
remained.
\VS{10}But
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
left
of
the
poor
of
the
people,
which
had
nothing,
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
gave
them
vineyards
and
fields
at
the
same
time.
\VS{11}Now
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
gave
charge
concerning
Jeremiah
to
Nebuzaradan
the
captain

saying,
\VS{12}Take
him,

look
well
to
him,
and
do
him
no
harm;
but
do
unto
him
even
as
he
shall
say
unto
thee.

Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
sent,
and
Nebushazban,

and
Nergal-sharezer,
Rab-mag,
and
all

of
the
king
of
Babylon;

sent,

took
Jeremiah
out

Ahikam,
the
son
of

that

should
carry
him
home:
so

\VS{15}Now
the

came
unto

was
shut
up
in

after
that
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
had
let
him
go
from
Ramah,
when
he
had
taken
him
being
bound
in
chains
among
all
the
captives
of
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
which
were
carried
away
captive
unto
Babylon.
\VS{2}And
the
captain
of
the
guard
took
Jeremiah,
and
said
unto
him,
the
LORD
thy
God
pronounced
this
evil
upon
this
place:
\VS{3}and
the
LORD
hath
brought
it,
and
done
according
as
he
spake;
because
ye
have
sinned
against
the
LORD,
and
have
not
obeyed
his
voice,
therefore
this
thing
is
come
upon
you.
\VS{4}And
now,
behold,
I
loose
thee
this
day
from
the
chains
which
are
upon
thine
hand.
If
it
seem
good
unto
thee
to
come
with
me
into
Babylon,
come,
and
I
will
look
well
unto
thee:
but
if
it
seem
ill
unto
thee
to
come
with
me
into
Babylon,
forbear:
behold,
all
the
land
is
before
thee;
whither
it
seemeth
good
and
convenient
unto
thee
to
go,
thither
go.
\VS{5}Now
while
he
was
not
yet
gone
back,
Go
back
then,
{\ADD{
said
he}},
to
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
the
son
of
Shaphan,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
hath
made
governor
over
the
cities
of
Judah,
and
dwell
with
him
among
the
people:
or
go
wheresoever
it
seemeth
convenient
unto
thee
to
go.
So
the
captain
of
the
guard
gave
him
victuals
and
a
present,
and
let
him
go.
\VS{6}Then
went
Jeremiah
unto
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
to
Mizpah,
and
dwelt
with
him
among
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
land.
\VS{7}Now
when
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
which
were
in
the
fields,
even
they
and
their
men,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
made
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
governor
in
the
land,
and
had
committed
unto
him
men,
and
women,
and
children,
and
of
the
poorest
of
the
land,
of
them
that
were
not
carried
away
captive
to
Babylon;
\VS{8}then
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
the
Maacathite,
they
and
their
men.
\VS{9}And
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
sware
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}As
for
me,
behold,
I
will
dwell
at
Mizpah,
to
stand
before
the
Chaldeans,
which
shall
come
unto
us:
but
ye,
gather
ye
wine
and
summer
fruits
and
oil,
and
put
them
in
your
vessels,
and
dwell
in
your
cities
that
ye
have
taken.
\VS{11}Likewise
when
all
the
Jews
that
were
in
Moab,
and
among
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
in
Edom,
and
that
were
in
all
the
countries,
heard
that
the
king
of
Babylon
had
left
a
remnant
of
Judah,
and
that
he
had
set
over
them
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
the
son
of
Shaphan;
\VS{12}then
all
the
Jews
returned
out
of
all
places
whither
they
were
driven,
and
came
to
the
land
of
Judah,
to
Gedaliah,
unto
Mizpah,
and
gathered
wine
and
summer
fruits
very
much.
\VS{13}Moreover
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
in
the
fields,
came
to
Gedaliah
to
Mizpah,
\VS{14}and
said
unto
him,
Dost
thou
know
that
Baalis
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
hath
sent
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
to
take
thy
life?
But
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
believed
them
not.
\VS{15}Then
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah
spake
to
Gedaliah
in
Mizpah
secretly,
saying,
Let
me
go,
I
pray
thee,
and
I
will
slay
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
no
man
shall
know
it:
wherefore
should
he
take
thy
life,
that
all
the
Jews
which
are
gathered
unto
thee
should
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}Now
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seventh
month,
that
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
the
son
of
Elishama,
of
the
seed
royal,
and
{\ADD{
one
of
}}the
chief
officers
of
the
king,
and
ten
men
with
him,
came
unto
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
to
Mizpah;
and
there
they
did
eat
bread
together
in
Mizpah.
\VS{2}Then
arose
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
the
ten
men
that
were
with
him,
and
smote
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
with
the
sword,
and
slew
him,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
had
made
governor
over
the
land.
\VS{3}Ishmael
also
slew
all
the
Jews
that
were
with
him,
even
with
Gedaliah,
at
Mizpah,
and
the
Chaldeans
that
were
found
there,
even
the
men
of
war.
\VS{4}And
it
came
to
pass
the
second
day
after
he
had
slain
Gedaliah,
and
no
man
knew
it,
\VS{5}that
there
came
certain
from
Shechem,
from
Shiloh,
and
from
Samaria,
even
fourscore
men,
having
their
beards
shaven
and
their
clothes
rent,
and
having
cut
themselves,
with
oblations
and
frankincense
in
their
hand,
to
bring
them
to
the
house
of
the
LORD.
\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,
as
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
slew
them,
{\ADD{
and
cast
them
}}into
the
midst
of
the
pit,
he,
and
the
men
that
were
with
him.
\VS{8}But
ten
men
were
found
among
them
that
said
unto
Ishmael,
Slay
us
not:
for
we
have
stores
hidden
in
the
field,
of
wheat,
and
of
barley,
and
of
oil,
and
of
honey.
So
he
forbare,
and
slew
them
not
among
their
brethren.
\VS{9}Now
the
pit
wherein
Ishmael
cast
all
the
dead
bodies
of
the
men
whom
he
had
slain,
by
the
side
of
Gedaliah, (the
same
was
that
which
Asa
the
king
had
made
for
fear
of
Baasha
king
of
Israel,)
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
filled
it
with
them
that
were
slain.
\VS{10}Then
Ishmael
carried
away
captive
all
the
residue
of
the
people
that
were
in
Mizpah,
even
the
king’s
daughters,
and
all
the
people
that
remained
in
Mizpah,
whom
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
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}But
when
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}then
they
took
all
the
men,
and
went
to
fight
with
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
and
found
him
by
the
great
waters
that
are
in
Gibeon.
\VS{13}Now
it
came
to
pass
that
when
all
the
people
which
were
with
Ishmael
saw
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
then
they
were
glad.
\VS{14}So
all
the
people
that
Ishmael
had
carried
away
captive
from
Mizpah
cast
about
and
returned,
and
went
unto
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah.
\VS{15}But
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
escaped
from
Johanan
with
eight
men,
and
went
to
the
children
of
Ammon.
\VS{16}Then
took
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
all
the
captains
of
the
forces
that
were
with
him,
all
the
remnant
of
the
people
whom
he
had
recovered
from
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah,
from
Mizpah,
after
that
he
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
even
the
men
of
war,
and
the
women,
and
the
children,
and
the
eunuchs,
whom
he
had
brought
again
from
Gibeon:
\VS{17}and
they
departed,
and
dwelt
in
Geruth
Chimham,
which
is
by
Bethlehem,
to
go
to
enter
into
Egypt,
\VS{18}because
of
the
Chaldeans:
for
they
were
afraid
of
them,
because
Ishmael
the
son
of
Nethaniah
had
slain
Gedaliah
the
son
of
Ahikam,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
made
governor
over
the
land.

\par }\Chap{42}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
all
the
captains
of
the
forces,
and
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,
and
Jezaniah
the
son
of
Hoshaiah,
and
all
the
people
from
the
least
even
unto
the
greatest,
came
near,
\VS{2}and
said
unto
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
Let,
we
pray
thee,
our
supplication
be
accepted
before
thee,
and
pray
for
us
unto
the
LORD
thy
God,
even
for
all
this
remnant;
for
we
are
left
but
a
few
of
many,
as
thine
eyes
do
behold
us:
\VS{3}that
the
LORD
thy
God
may
shew
us
the
way
wherein
we
should
walk,
and
the
thing
that
we
should
do.
\VS{4}Then
Jeremiah
the
prophet
said
unto
them,
I
have
heard
you;
behold,
I
will
pray
unto
the
LORD
your
God
according
to
your
words;
and
it
shall
come
to

that
whatsoever
thing
the
LORD
shall
answer
you,
I
will
declare
it
unto
you;
I
will
keep
nothing
back
from
you.
\VS{5}Then
they
said
to
Jeremiah,
The
LORD
be
a
true
and
faithful
witness
amongst
us,
if
we
do
not
even
according
to
all
the
word
wherewith
the
LORD
thy
God
shall
send
thee
to
us.
\VS{6}Whether
it
be
good,
or
whether
it
be
evil,
we
will
obey
the
voice
of
the
LORD
our
God,
to
whom
we
send
thee;
that
it
may
be
well
with
us,
when
we
obey
the
voice
of
the
LORD
our
God.
\VS{7}And
it
came
to
pass
after
ten
days,
that
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
unto
Jeremiah.
\VS{8}Then
called
he
Johanan
the
son
of
Kareah,

all
the
captains
of
the
forces
which
were
with
him,
and
all
the
people
from
the
least
even
to
the
greatest,
\VS{9}and
said
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
unto
whom
ye
sent
me
to
present
your
supplication
before
him:
\VS{10}If
ye
will
still
abide
in
this
land,
then
will
I
build
you,
and
not
pull
you
down,
and
I
will
plant
you,
and
not
pluck
you
up:
for
I
repent
me
of
the
evil
that
I
have
done
unto
you.
\VS{11}Be
not
afraid
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
of
whom
ye
are
afraid;
be
not
afraid
of
him,
saith
the
LORD:
for
I
am
with
you
to
save
you,
and
to
deliver
you
from
his
hand.
\VS{12}And
I
will
grant
you
mercy,
that
he
may
have
mercy
upon
you,
and
cause
you
to
return
to
your
own
land.
\VS{13}But
if
ye
say,
We
will
not
dwell
in
this
land;
so
that
ye
obey
not
the
voice
of
the
LORD
your
God;
\VS{14}saying,
No;
but
we
will
go
into
the
land
of
Egypt,
where
we
shall
see
no
war,
nor
hear
the
sound
of
the
trumpet,
nor
have
hunger
of
bread;
and
there
will
we
dwell:
\VS{15}now
therefore
hear
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
remnant
of
Judah:
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
If
ye
wholly
set
your
faces
to
enter
into
Egypt,
and
go
to
sojourn
there;
\VS{16}then
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the
sword,
which
ye
feel
shall
overtake
you
there
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
the
famine,
whereof
ye
are
afraid,
shall
follow
hard
after
you
there
in
Egypt;
and
there
ye
shall
die.
\VS{17}So
shall
it
be
with
all
the
men
that
set
their
faces
to
go
into
Egypt
to
sojourn
there;
they
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence:
and
none
of
them
shall
remain
or
escape
from
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
them.
\VS{18}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel;
As
mine
anger
and
my
fury
hath
been
poured
forth
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
so
shall
my
fury
be
poured
forth
upon
you,
when
ye
shall
enter
into
Egypt:
and
ye
shall
be
an
execration,
and
an
astonishment,
and
a
curse,
and
a
reproach;
and
ye
shall
see
this
place
no
more.
\VS{19}The
LORD
hath
spoken
concerning
you,
O
remnant
of
Judah,
Go
ye
not
into
Egypt:
know
certainly
that
I
have
testified
unto
you
this
day.
\VS{20}For
ye
have
dealt
deceitfully
against
your
own
souls;
for
ye
sent
me
unto
the
LORD
your
God,
saying,
Pray
for
us
unto
the
LORD
our
God;
and
according
unto
all
that
the
LORD
our
God
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
the
LORD
your
God
in
any
thing
for
the
which
he
hath
sent
me
unto
you.
\VS{22}Now
therefore
know
certainly
that
ye
shall
die
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence,
in
the
place
whither
ye
desire
to
go
to
sojourn
there.

saying
unto

falsely:

hath
not

thee
to
say,

into

hand
of
the
Chaldeans,
that

put

carry
us
away

word
that
came
to

concerning
all

which
dwelt
in

land
of
Egypt,
which
dwelt
at
Migdol,
and
at
Tahpanhes,
and
at
Noph,
and
in
the
country
of
Pathros,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Ye
have
seen
all
the
evil
that
I
have
brought
upon
Jerusalem,
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
Judah;
and,
behold,
this
day
they
are
a
desolation,
and
no
man
dwelleth
therein;
\VS{3}because
of
their
wickedness
which
they
have
committed
to
provoke
me
to
anger,
in
that
they
went
to
burn
incense,
{\ADD{
and
}}to
serve
other
gods,
whom
they
knew
not,
neither
they,
nor
ye,
nor
your
fathers.
\VS{4}Howbeit
I
sent
unto
you
all
my
servants
the
prophets,
rising
up
early
and
sending
them,
saying,
Oh,
do
not
this
abominable
thing
that
I
hate.
\VS{5}But
they
hearkened
not,
nor
inclined
their
ear
to
turn
from
their
wickedness,
to
burn
no
incense
unto
other
gods.
\VS{6}Wherefore
my
fury
and
mine
anger
was
poured
forth,
and
was
kindled
in
the
cities
of
Judah
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem;
and
they
are
wasted
and
desolate,
as
it
is
this
day.
\VS{7}Therefore
now
thus
saith
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Wherefore
commit
ye
{\ADD{
this
}}great
evil
against
your
own
souls,
to
cut
off
from
you
man
and
woman,
infant
and
suckling,
out

of
Judah,
to
leave
you
none
remaining;
\VS{8}in

ye
provoke
me
unto
anger
with
the
works
of
your
hands,
burning
incense
unto
other
gods
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
whither
ye
be
gone
to
sojourn;
that
ye
may
be
cut
off,
and
that
ye
may
be
a
curse
and
a
reproach
among
all
the
nations
of
the
earth?
\VS{9}Have
ye
forgotten
the
wickedness
of
your
fathers,
and
the
wickedness
of
the
kings
of
Judah,
and
the
wickedness
of
their
wives,
and
your
own
wickedness,
and
the
wickedness
of
your
wives,
which
they
committed
in
the
land
of
Judah,
and
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem?
\VS{10}They
are
not
humbled
even
unto
this
day,
neither
have
they
feared,
nor
walked
in
my
law,
nor
in
my
statutes,
that
I
set
before
you
and
before
your
fathers.
\VS{11}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
set
my
face
against
you
for
evil,
even
to
cut
off
all
Judah.
\VS{12}And
I
will
take
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
have
set
their
faces
to
go
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to
sojourn
there,
and
they
shall
all
be
consumed;
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
they
fall;
they
shall
be
consumed,
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine;
they
shall
die,
from
the
least
even
unto
the
greatest,
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine:
and
they
shall
be
an
execration,
{\ADD{
and
}}an
astonishment,
and
a
curse,
and
a
reproach.
\VS{13}For
I
will
punish
them
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
as
I
have
punished
Jerusalem,
by
the
sword,
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence:
\VS{14}so
that
none
of
the
remnant
of
Judah,
which
are
gone
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to
sojourn
there,
shall
escape
or
remain,
that
they
should
return
into
the
land
of
Judah,
to
the
which
they
have
a
desire
to
return
to
dwell
there:
for
none
shall
return
save
such
as
shall
escape.
\VS{15}Then
all
the
men
which
knew
that
their
wives
burned
incense
unto
other
gods,
and
all
the
women
that
stood
by,
a
great
assembly,
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
the
LORD,
we
will
not
hearken
unto
thee.
\VS{17}But
we
will
certainly
perform
every
word
that
is
gone
forth
out
of
our
mouth,
to
burn
incense
unto
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out
drink
offerings
unto
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:
for
then
had
we
plenty
of
victuals,
and
were
well,
and
saw
no
evil.
\VS{18}But
since
we
left
off
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out
drink
offerings
unto
her,
we
have
wanted
all
things,
and
have
been
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine.
\VS{19}And
when
we
burned
incense
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
poured
out
drink
offerings
unto
her,
did
we
make
her
cakes
to
worship
her,
and
pour
out
drink
offerings
unto
her,
without
our
husbands?
\VS{20}Then
Jeremiah
said
unto
all
the
people,
to
the
men,
and
to
the
women,
even
to
all
the
people
which
had
given
him
that
answer,
saying,
\VS{21}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,
did
not
the
LORD
remember
them,
and
came
it
not
into
his
mind?
\VS{22}so
the
LORD
could
no
longer
bear,
because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings,
and
because
of
the
abominations
which
ye
have
committed;
therefore
is
your
land
become
a
desolation,
and
an
astonishment,
and
a
curse,
without
inhabitant,
as
it
is
this
day.
\VS{23}Because
ye
have
burned
incense,
and
because
ye
have
sinned
against
the
LORD,
and
have
not
obeyed
the
voice
of
the
LORD,
nor
walked
in
his
law,
nor
in
his
statutes,
nor
in
his
testimonies;
therefore
this
evil
is
happened
unto
you,
as
it
is
this
day.
\VS{24}Moreover
Jeremiah
said
unto
all
the
people,
and
to
all
the
women,
Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
Judah
that
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
\VS{25}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
saying:
Ye
and
your
wives
have
both
spoken
with
your
mouths,
and
with
your
hands
have
fulfilled
it,
saying,
We
will
surely
perform
our
vows
that
we
have
vowed,
to
burn
incense
to
the
queen
of
heaven,
and
to
pour
out
drink
offerings
unto
her:
establish
then
your
vows,
and
perform
your
vows.
\VS{26}Therefore
hear
ye
the
word
of
the
LORD,
all
Judah
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
Egypt:
Behold,
I
have
sworn
by
my
great
name,
saith
the
LORD,
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
GOD
liveth.
\VS{27}Behold,
I
watch
over
them
for
evil,
and
not
for
good:
and
all
the
men
of
Judah
that
are
in
the
land
of
Egypt
shall
be
consumed
by
the
sword
and
by
the
famine,
until
there
be
an
end
of
them.
\VS{28}And
they
that
escape
the
sword
shall
return
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
into
the
land
of
Judah,
few
in
number;
and
all
the
remnant
of
Judah,
that
are
gone
into
the
land
of
Egypt
to
sojourn
there,
shall
know
whose
word
shall
stand,
mine,
or
theirs.
\VS{29}And
this
shall
be
the
sign
unto
you,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
punish
you
in
this
place,
that
ye
may
know
that
my
words
shall
surely
stand
against
you
for
evil:
\VS{30}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
give
Pharaoh
Hophra
king
of
Egypt
into
the
hand
of
his
enemies,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seek
his
life;
as
I
gave
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
his
enemy,
and
that
sought
his
life.

smote
Gaza.
\VS{2}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
waters
rise
up
out

the
north,
and
shall
become
an
overflowing
stream,
and
shall
overflow
the
land
and
all

therein,
the
city
and
them
that
dwell
therein:
and
the
men
shall
cry,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
shall
howl.
\VS{3}At
the
noise

stamping

ones,
at
the
rushing
of
his
chariots,
at
the
rumbling
of
his

the
fathers
look
not
back
to
their
children
for
feebleness
of
hands;
\VS{4}because
of
the
day
that
cometh
to
spoil
all
the
Philistines,
to
cut
off
from
Tyre
and
Zidon
every
helper
that
remaineth:
for
the
LORD
will
spoil
the
Philistines,
the
remnant
of
the
isle
of
Caphtor.
\VS{5}Baldness
is
come
upon
Gaza;
Ashkelon
is
brought
to
nought,
the
remnant
of
their
valley:
how
long
wilt
thou
cut
thyself?
\VS{6}O
thou
sword
of
the
LORD,
how
long
will
it
be
ere
thou
be
quiet?
put
up
thyself
into
thy
scabbard;
rest,
and
be
still.
\VS{7}How
canst
thou
be
quiet,
seeing
the
LORD
hath
given
thee
a
charge?
against
Ashkelon,
and
against

sea
shore,
there
hath
he
appointed
it.

Moab.
Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Woe
unto
Nebo!
for
it
is
laid
waste;
Kiriathaim
is
put
to
shame,
it
is
taken:
Misgab
is
put
to
shame
and
broken
down.
\VS{2}The
praise
of
Moab
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
brought
to
silence;
the
sword
shall
pursue
thee.
\VS{3}The
sound
of
a
cry
from
Horonaim,
spoiling
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
with
continual
weeping
shall
they
go
up;
for
in
the
going
down
of
Horonaim
they
have
heard
the
distress
of
the
cry
of
destruction.
\VS{6}Flee,
save
your
lives,
and
be
like
the
heath
in
the
wilderness.
\VS{7}For,
because
thou
hast
trusted
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
spoiler
shall
come
upon
every
city,
and
no
city
shall
escape;
the
valley
also
shall
perish,
and
the
plain
shall
be
destroyed;
as
the
LORD
hath
spoken.
\VS{9}Give
wings
unto
Moab,
that
she
may
fly
and
get
her
away:
and
her
cities
shall
become
a
desolation,
without
any
to
dwell
therein.
\VS{10}Cursed
be
he
that
doeth
the
work
of
the
LORD
negligently,
and
cursed
be
he
that
keepeth
back
his
sword
from
blood.
\VS{11}Moab
hath
been
at
ease
from
his
youth,
and
he
hath
settled
on
his
lees,
and
hath
not
been
emptied
from
vessel
to
vessel,
neither
hath
he
gone
into
captivity:
therefore
his
taste
remaineth
in
him,
and
his
scent
is
not
changed.
\VS{12}Therefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
send
unto
him
them
that
pour
off,
and
they
shall
pour
him
off;
and
they
shall
empty
his
vessels,
and
break
their
bottles
in
pieces.
\VS{13}And
Moab
shall
be
ashamed
of
Chemosh,
as
the
house
of
Israel
was
ashamed
of
Beth-el
their
confidence.

say
ye,
We
are
mighty
men,
and
valiant
men
for
the
war?

is
laid

are
gone
up

men
are
gone
down
to

saith
the

is

calamity
of

beautiful
rod!
\VS{18}O
thou

in
Dibon,
come
down
from
thy
glory,
and
sit
in
thirst;
for
the
spoiler
of
Moab
is
come
up
against
thee,
he
hath
destroyed
thy
strong

\VS{19}O
inhabitant
of
Aroer,
stand
by
the
way,
and
espy:
ask
him
that
fleeth,
and
her
that
escapeth;
say,
What
hath
been
done?
\VS{20}Moab
is
put
to
shame;
for
it
is
broken
down:
howl
and
cry;
tell
ye
it
in
Arnon,
that
Moab
is
laid
waste.
\VS{21}And
judgment
is
come
upon
the
plain
country;
upon
Holon,
and
upon
Jahzah,
and
upon
Mephaath;
\VS{22}and
upon
Dibon,

upon

upon
Kerioth,
and
upon

and
upon
all
the
cities
of
the

of
Moab,
far
or
near.
\VS{25}The
horn
of
Moab
is
cut
off,
and
his
arm
is
broken,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{26}Make
ye
him
drunken;
for
he
magnified
himself
against
the
LORD:
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?
for
as
often
as
thou
speakest
of
him,
thou waggest
the
head.
\VS{28}O
ye
inhabitants
of
Moab,
leave
the
cities,
and
dwell
in
the
rock;
and
be
like
the
dove
that
maketh
her
nest
in
the
sides
of
the
holes
mouth.
\VS{29}We
have
heard
of
the
pride
of
Moab,
{\ADD{
that
}}he
is
very
proud;
his
loftiness,
and
his
pride,
and
his
arrogancy,
and
the
haughtiness
of
his
heart.
\VS{30}I
know
his
wrath,
saith
the
LORD,
that
it
is
nought;
his boastings
have
wrought
nothing.
\VS{31}Therefore
will
I
howl
for
Moab;
yea,
I
will
cry
out
for
all
Moab:
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres
shall
they
mourn.
\VS{32}With
more
than
the
weeping
of
Jazer
will
I
weep
for
thee,
O
vine
of
Sibmah:
thy
branches
passed
over
the
sea,
they
reached
even
to
the
sea
of
Jazer:
upon
thy
summer
fruits
and
upon
thy
vintage
the
spoiler
is
fallen.
\VS{33}And
gladness
and
joy
is
taken
away,
from
the
fruitful
field
and
from
the
land
of
Moab;
and
I
have
caused
wine
to
cease
from
the
winepresses:
none
shall
tread
with
shouting;
the
shouting
shall
be
no
shouting.
\VS{34}From
the
cry
of
Heshbon
even
unto
Elealeh,
even
unto
Jahaz
have
they
uttered
their
voice,
from
Zoar
even
unto
Horonaim,
to
Eglath-shelishiyah:
for
the
waters
of
Nimrim
also
shall
become
desolate.
\VS{35}Moreover
I
will
cause
to
cease
in
Moab,
saith
the
LORD,
him
that
offereth
in
the
high
place,
and
him
that
burneth
incense
to
his
gods.
\VS{36}Therefore
mine
heart
soundeth
for
Moab
like
pipes,
and
mine
heart
soundeth
like
pipes
for
the
men
of
Kir-heres:
therefore
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}On
all
the
housetops
of
Moab
and
in
the
streets
thereof
there
is
lamentation
every
where:
for
I
have
broken
Moab
like
a
vessel
wherein
is
no
pleasure,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{39}How
is
it
broken
down!
{\ADD{
how
}}do
they
howl!
how
hath
Moab
turned
the
back
with
shame!
so
shall
Moab
become
a
derision
and
a
dismaying
to
all
that
are
round
about
him.
\VS{40}For
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
he
shall
fly
as
an
eagle,
and
shall
spread
out
his
wings
against
Moab.
\VS{41}Kerioth
is
taken,
and
the
strong
holds
are
surprised,
and
the
heart
of
the
mighty
men
of
Moab
at
that
day
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
the
LORD.
\VS{43}Fear,
and
the
pit,
and
the
snare,
are
upon
thee,
O
inhabitant
of
Moab,
saith
the
LORD.
\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,
even
upon
Moab,
the
year
of
their
visitation,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{45}They
that
fled
stand
without
strength
under
the
shadow
of
Heshbon:
for
a
fire
is
gone
forth
out
of
Heshbon,
and
a
flame
from
the
midst
of
Sihon,
and
hath
devoured
the
corner
of
Moab,
and
the
crown
of
the
head
of
the
tumultuous
ones.
\VS{46}Woe
unto
thee,
O
Moab!
the
people
of
Chemosh
is
undone:
for
thy
sons
are
taken
away
captive,
and
thy
daughters
into
captivity.
\VS{47}Yet
will
I
bring
again
the
captivity
of
Moab

latter
days,
saith

their
cattle
a
spoil:
and
I
will
scatter
unto
all
winds
them
that
have
the
corners
{\ADD{
of
their
hair
}}polled;
and
I
will
bring
their
calamity
from
every
side
of
them,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{33}And
Hazor
shall
be
a
dwelling
place
of
jackals,
a
desolation
for
ever:
no
man
shall
dwell
there,
neither
shall
any
son
of
man
sojourn
therein.
\VS{34}The
word
of
the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah
the
prophet
concerning
Elam
in
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah,
saying,
\VS{35}Thus
saith
the
LORD
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
quarters
of
heaven,
and
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,
even
my
fierce
anger,
saith
the
LORD;
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
the
LORD.
\VS{39}But
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
latter
days,
that
I
will
bring
again
the
captivity
of
Elam,
saith
the
LORD.

\par }\Chap{50}{\PP \VerseOne{1}The
word
that
the
LORD
spake
concerning
Babylon,
concerning
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
by
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
\VS{2}Declare
ye
among
the
nations
and
publish,
and
set
up
a
standard;
publish,
and
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:
they
are
fled,
they
are
gone,
both
man
and
beast.
\VS{4}In
those
days,
and
in
that
time,
saith
the
LORD,
the
children
of
Israel
shall
come,
they
and
the
children
of
Judah
together;
they
shall
go
on
their
way
weeping,
and
shall
seek
the
LORD
their
God.
\VS{5}They
shall
inquire
concerning
Zion
with
their
faces
thitherward,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Come
ye,
and
join
yourselves
to
the
LORD
in
an
everlasting
covenant
that
shall
not
be
forgotten.
\VS{6}My
people
hath
been
lost
sheep:
their
shepherds
have
caused
them
to
go
astray,
they
have
turned
them
away
on
the
mountains:
they
have
gone
from
mountain
to
hill,
they
have
forgotten
their
resting
place.
\VS{7}All
that
found
them
have
devoured
them:
and
their
adversaries
said,
We
offend
not,
because
they
have
sinned
against
the
LORD,
the
habitation
of
justice,
even
the
LORD,
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
flocks.
\VS{9}For,
lo,
I
will
stir
up
and
cause
to
come
up
against
Babylon
an
assembly
of
great
nations
from
the
north
country:
and
they
shall
set
themselves
in
array
against
her;
from
thence
she
shall
be
taken:
their
arrows
shall
be
as
of
an
expert
mighty
man;
none
shall
return
in
vain.
\VS{10}And
Chaldea
shall
be
a
spoil:
all
that
spoil
her
shall
be
satisfied,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{11}Because
ye
are
glad,
because
ye
rejoice,
O
ye
that
plunder
mine
heritage,
because
ye
are
wanton
as
an
heifer
that
treadeth
out
{\ADD{
the
corn}},
and
neigh
as
strong
horses;
\VS{12}your
mother
shall
be
sore
ashamed;
she
that
bare
you
shall
be
confounded:
behold,
she
shall
be
the
hindermost
of
the
nations,
a
wilderness,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert.
\VS{13}Because
of
the
wrath
of
the
LORD
it
shall
not
be
inhabited,
but
it
shall
be
wholly
desolate:
every
one
that
goeth
by
Babylon
shall
be
astonished,
and
hiss
at
all
her
plagues.
\VS{14}Set
yourselves
in
array
against
Babylon
round
about,
all
ye
that
bend
the
bow;
shoot
at
her,
spare
no
arrows:
for
she
hath
sinned
against
the
LORD.
\VS{15}Shout
against
her
round
about;
she
hath
submitted
herself;
her
bulwarks
are
fallen,
her
walls
are
thrown
down:
for
it
is
the
vengeance
of
the
LORD;
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
they
shall
turn
every
one
to
his
people,
and
they
shall
flee
every
one
to
his
own
land.
\VS{17}Israel
is
a
scattered
sheep;
the
lions
have
driven
him
away:
first
the
king
of
Assyria
hath
devoured
him;
and
last
this
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
hath
broken
his
bones.
\VS{18}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
Behold,
I
will
punish
the
king
of
Babylon
and
his
land,
as
I
have
punished
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
the
hills
of
Ephraim
and
in
Gilead.
\VS{20}In
those
days,
and
in
that
time,
saith
the
LORD,
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
them
whom
I
leave
as
a
remnant.
\VS{21}Go
up
against
the
land
of
Merathaim,
even
against
it,
and
against
the
inhabitants
of
Pekod:
slay
and
utterly
destroy
after
them,
saith
the
LORD,
and
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
thee.
\VS{22}A
sound
of
battle
is
in
the
land,
and
of
great
destruction.
\VS{23}How
is
the
hammer
of
the
whole
earth
cut
asunder
and
broken!
how
is
Babylon
become
a
desolation
among
the
nations!
\VS{24}I
have
laid
a
snare
for
thee,
and
thou
art
also
taken,
O
Babylon,
and
thou wast
not
aware:
thou
art
found,
and
also
caught,
because
thou
hast
striven
against
the
LORD.
\VS{25}The
LORD
hath
opened
his
armoury,
and
hath
brought
forth
the
weapons
of
his
indignation:
for
the
Lord,
the
LORD
of
hosts,
hath
a
work
{\ADD{
to
do
}}in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans.
\VS{26}Come
against
her
from
the
utmost
border,
open
her
storehouses:
cast
her
up
as
heaps,
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
the
LORD
our
God,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
\VS{29}Call
together
the
archers
against
Babylon,
all
them
that
bend
the
bow;
camp
against
her
round
about;
let
none
thereof
escape:
recompense
her
according
to
her
work;
according
to
all
that
she
hath
done,
do
unto
her:
for
she
hath
been
proud
against
the
LORD,
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
brought
to
silence
in
that
day,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{31}Behold,
I
am
against
thee,
O
thou
proud
one,
saith
the
Lord,
the
LORD
of
hosts:
for
thy
day
is
come,
the
time
that
I
will
visit
thee.
\VS{32}And
the
proud
one
shall
stumble
and
fall,
and
none
shall
raise
him
up:
and
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
his
cities,
and
it
shall
devour
all
that
are
round
about
him.
\VS{33}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts:
The
children
of
Israel
and
the
children
of
Judah
are
oppressed
together:
and
all
that
took
them
captives
hold
them
fast;
they
refuse
to
let
them
go.
\VS{34}Their
redeemer
is
strong;
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name:
he
shall
throughly
plead
their
cause,
that
he
may
give
rest
to
the
earth,
and
disquiet
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
\VS{35}A
sword
is
upon
the
Chaldeans,
saith
the
LORD,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon,
and
upon
her
princes,
and
upon
her
wise
men.
\VS{36}A
sword
is
upon
the
boasters,
and
they
shall
dote:
a
sword
is
upon
her
mighty
men,
and
they
shall
be
dismayed.
\VS{37}A
sword
is
upon
their
horse,
and
upon
their
chariots,
and
upon
all
the
mingled
people
that
are
in
the
midst
of
her,
and
they
shall
become
as
women:
a
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
upon
idols.
\VS{39}Therefore
the
wild
beasts
of
the
desert
with
the
wolves
shall
dwell
there,
and
the
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
God
overthrew
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
the
neighbour
cities
thereof,
saith
the
LORD;
so
shall
no
man
dwell
there,
neither
shall
any
son
of
man
sojourn
therein.
\VS{41}Behold,
a
people
cometh
from
the
north;
and
a
great
nation,
and
many
kings
shall
be
stirred
up
from
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
earth.
\VS{42}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;
every
one
set
in
array,
as
man
to
the
battle,
against
thee,
O
daughter
of
Babylon.
\VS{43}The
king
of
Babylon
hath
heard
the
fame
of
them,
and
his
hands
wax
feeble:
anguish
hath
taken
hold
of
him,
{\ADD{
and
}}pangs
as
of
a
woman
in
travail.
\VS{44}Behold,
he
shall
come
up
like
a
lion
from
the
pride
of
Jordan
against
the
strong
habitation:
but
I
will
suddenly
make
them
run
away
from
her;
and
whoso
is
chosen,
him
will
I
appoint
over
her:
for
who
is
like
me?
and
who
will
appoint
me
a
time?
and
who
is
the
shepherd
that
will
stand
before
me?
\VS{45}Therefore
hear
ye
the
counsel
of
the
LORD,
that
he
hath
taken
against
Babylon;
and
his
purposes,
that
he
hath
purposed
against
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans:
Surely
they
shall
drag
them
away,
{\ADD{
even
}}the
little
ones
of
the
flock;
surely
he
shall
make
their
habitation
desolate
with
them.
\VS{46}At
the
noise
of
the
taking
of
Babylon
the
earth
trembleth,
and
the
cry
is
heard
among
the
nations.

\par }\Chap{51}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
raise
up
against
Babylon,
and
against
them
that
dwell
in Lebkamai,
a
destroying
wind.
\VS{2}And
I
will
send
unto
Babylon
strangers,
that
shall
fan
her;
and
they
shall
empty
her
land:
for
in
the
day
of
trouble
they
shall
be
against
her
round
about.
\VS{3}Let
not

archer
bend
his
bow,
and
let
him
not
lift
himself
up
in
his
coat
of
mail:
and
spare
ye
not
her
young
men;
destroy
ye
utterly
all
her
host.
\VS{4}And
they
shall
fall
down
slain
in
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans,
and
thrust
through
in
her
streets.
\VS{5}For
Israel
is
not
forsaken,
nor
Judah,
of
his
God,
of
the
LORD
of
hosts;
though
their
land
is
full
of
guilt
against
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
\VS{6}Flee
out
of
the
midst
of
Babylon,
and
save
every
man
his
life;
be
not
cut
off
in
her
iniquity:
for
it
is
the
time
of
the
LORD’S
vengeance;
he
will
render
unto
her
a
recompence.
\VS{7}Babylon
hath
been
a
golden
cup
in
the
LORD’S
hand;
that
made
all
the
earth
drunken:
the
nations
have
drunk
of
her
wine;
therefore
the
nations
are
mad.
\VS{8}Babylon
is
suddenly
fallen
and
destroyed:
howl
for
her;
take
balm
for
her
pain,
if
so
be
she
may
be
healed.
\VS{9}We
would
have
healed
Babylon,
but
she
is
not
healed:
forsake
her,
and
let
us
go
every
one
into
his
own
country:
for
her
judgment
reacheth
unto
heaven,
and
is
lifted
up
even
to
the
skies.
\VS{10}The
LORD
hath
brought
forth
our
righteousness:
come,
and
let
us
declare
in
Zion
the
work
of
the
LORD
our
God.
\VS{11}Make
sharp
the
arrows;

firm

shields:
the
LORD
hath
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
the
kings
of
the
Medes;
because
his
device
is
against
Babylon,
to
destroy
it:
for
it
is
the
vengeance
of
the
LORD,
the
vengeance
of
his
temple.
\VS{12}Set
up
a
standard
against
the
walls
of

make
the
watch
strong,
set
the
watchmen,
prepare
the
ambushes:
for
the
LORD
hath
both
devised
and
done
that
which
he
spake
concerning
the
inhabitants
of
Babylon.
\VS{13}O
thou
that
dwellest
upon
many
waters,
abundant
in
treasures,
thine
end
is
come,
the
measure
of
thy
covetousness.
\VS{14}The
LORD
of
hosts
hath
sworn
by
himself,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Surely
I
will
fill
thee
with
men,
as
with
the
cankerworm;
and
they
shall
lift
up
a
shout
against
thee.
\VS{15}He
hath
made
the

by
his
power,
he
hath
established
the

by
his

by
his
understanding
hath
he
stretched
out
the
heavens:
\VS{16}when
he
uttereth
his
voice,
there
is
a
tumult
of
waters
in
the
heavens,
and
he
causeth
the
vapours
to
ascend
from
the
ends
of
the
earth;
he
maketh
lightnings
for
the
rain,
and
bringeth
forth
the
wind
out
of
his
treasuries.
\VS{17}Every
man
is
become
brutish
{\ADD{

is

knowledge;
every
goldsmith
is
put
to
shame
by
his
graven
image:
for
his
molten
image
is
falsehood,
and
there
is
no
breath
in
them.
\VS{18}They
are
vanity,
a
work
of
delusion:
in

of
their
visitation
they

perish.

thee,
O
destroying
mountain,
saith
the
LORD,
which
destroyest
all
the
earth:
and
I
will
stretch
out
mine
hand
upon
thee,
and
roll
thee
down
from
the
rocks,
and
will
make
thee
a
burnt
mountain.
\VS{26}And
they
shall
not
take
of
thee
a
stone
for
a
corner,
nor
a
stone
for
foundations;
but
thou shalt
be
desolate
for
ever,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{27}Set
ye
up
a
standard
in
the
land,
blow
the
trumpet
among
the
nations,
prepare
the
nations
against
her,
call
together
against
her
the
kingdoms
of
Ararat,
Minni,
and
Ashkenaz:
appoint
a
marshal
against
her;
cause
the
horses
to
come
up
as
the
rough
cankerworm.
\VS{28}Prepare
against
her
the
nations,
the
kings
of
the
Medes,
the
governors
thereof,
and
all
the
deputies
thereof,
and
all
the
land
of
his
dominion.
\VS{29}And
the
land
trembleth
and
is
in
pain:
for
the
purposes
of
the
LORD
against
Babylon
do
stand,
to
make
the
land
of
Babylon
a
desolation,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{30}The
mighty
men
of
Babylon
have forborne
to
fight,
they
remain
in
their
strong
holds;
their
might
hath
failed;
they
are
become
as
women:
her
dwelling
places
are
set
on
fire;
her
bars
are
broken.
\VS{31}One
post
shall
run
to
meet
another,
and
one
messenger
to
meet
another,
to
shew
the
king
of
Babylon
that
his
city
is
taken
on
every
quarter:
\VS{32}and
the
passages
are
surprised,
and
the
reeds
they
have
burned
with
fire,
and
the
men
of
war
are
affrighted.
\VS{33}For
thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel:
The
daughter
of
Babylon
is
like
a threshing-floor
at
the
time
when
it
is
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
maw
with
my
delicates;
he
hath
cast
me
out.
\VS{35}The
violence
done
to
me
and
to
my
flesh
be
upon
Babylon,
shall
the
inhabitant
of
Zion
say;
and,
My
blood
be
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Chaldea,
shall
Jerusalem
say.
\VS{36}Therefore
thus
saith
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
plead
thy
cause,
and
take
vengeance
for
thee;
and
I
will
dry
up
her
sea,
and
make
her
fountain
dry.
\VS{37}And
Babylon
shall
become
heaps,
a
dwelling
place
for
jackals,
an
astonishment,
and
an
hissing,
without
inhabitant.
\VS{38}They
shall
roar
together
like
young
lions;
they
shall
growl
as
lions’
whelps.
\VS{39}When
they
are
heated,
I
will
make
their
feast,
and
I
will
make
them
drunken,
that
they
may
rejoice,
and
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{40}I
will
bring
them
down
like
lambs
to
the
slaughter,
like
rams
with he-goats.
\VS{41}How
is
Sheshach
taken!
and
the
praise
of
the
whole
earth
surprised!
how
is
Babylon
become
a
desolation
among
the
nations!
\VS{42}The
sea
is
come
up
upon
Babylon:
she
is
covered
with
the
multitude
of
the
waves
thereof.
\VS{43}Her
cities
are
become
a
desolation,
a
dry
land,
and
a
desert,
a
land
wherein
no
man
dwelleth,
neither
doth
any
son
of
man
pass
thereby.
\VS{44}And
I
will
do
judgment
upon
Bel
in
Babylon,
and
I
will
bring
forth
out
of
his
mouth
that
which
he
hath
swallowed
up;
and
the
nations
shall
not
flow
together
any
more
unto
him:
yea,
the
wall
of
Babylon
shall
fall.
\VS{45}My
people,
go
ye
out
of
the
midst
of
her,
and
save
yourselves
every
man
from
the
fierce
anger
of
the
LORD.
\VS{46}And
let
not
your
heart
faint,
neither
fear
ye
for
the
rumour
that
shall
be
heard
in
the
land;
for
a
rumour
shall
come
one
year,
and
after
that
in
another
year
{\ADD{
shall
come
}}a
rumour,
and
violence
in
the
land,
ruler
against
ruler.
\VS{47}Therefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
that
I
will
do
judgment
upon
the
graven
images
of
Babylon,
and
her
whole
land
shall
be
ashamed;
and
all
her
slain
shall
fall
in
the
midst
of
her.
\VS{48}Then
the
heaven
and
the
earth,
and
all
that
is
therein,
shall
sing
for
joy
over
Babylon;
for
the
spoilers
shall
come
unto
her
from
the
north,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{49}As
Babylon
hath
caused
the
slain
of
Israel
to
fall,
so
at
Babylon
shall
fall
the
slain
of
all
the
land.
\VS{50}Ye
that
have
escaped
the
sword,
go
ye,
stand
not
still;
remember
the
LORD
from
afar,
and
let
Jerusalem
come
into
your
mind.
\VS{51}We
are
ashamed,
because
we
have
heard
reproach;
confusion
hath
covered
our
faces:
for
strangers
are
come
into
the
sanctuaries
of
the
LORD’S
house.
\VS{52}Wherefore,
behold,
the
days
come,
saith
the
LORD,
that
I
will
do
judgment
upon
her
graven
images;
and
through
all
her
land
the
wounded
shall
groan.
\VS{53}Though
Babylon
should
mount
up
to
heaven,
and
though
she
should
fortify
the
height
of
her
strength,
yet
from
me
shall
spoilers
come
unto
her,
saith
the
LORD.
\VS{54}The
sound
of
a
cry
from
Babylon,
and
of
great
destruction
from
the
land
of
the
Chaldeans!
\VS{55}For
the
LORD
spoileth
Babylon,
and
destroyeth
out
of
her
the
great
voice;
and
their
waves
roar
like
many
waters,
the
noise
of
their
voice
is
uttered:
\VS{56}for
the
spoiler
is
come
upon
her,
even
upon
Babylon,
and
her
mighty
men
are
taken,
their
bows
are
broken
in
pieces:
for
the
LORD
is
a
God
of
recompences,
he
shall
surely
requite.
\VS{57}And
I
will
make
drunk
her
princes
and
her
wise
men,
her
governors
and
her
deputies,
and
her
mighty
men;
and
they
shall
sleep
a
perpetual
sleep,
and
not
wake,
saith
the
King,
whose
name
is
the
LORD
of
hosts.
\VS{58}Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts:
The
broad
walls
of
Babylon
shall
be
utterly
overthrown,
and
her
high
gates
shall
be
burned
with
fire;
and
the
peoples
shall
labour
for
vanity,
and
the
nations
for
the
fire;
and
they
shall
be
weary.
\VS{59}The
word
which
Jeremiah
the
prophet
commanded
Seraiah
the
son
of
Neriah,
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,
even
all
these
words
that
are
written
concerning
Babylon.
\VS{61}And
Jeremiah
said
to
Seraiah,
When
thou
comest
to
Babylon,
then
see
that
thou
read
all
these
words,
\VS{62}and
say,
O
LORD,
thou
hast
spoken
concerning
this
place,
to
cut
it
off,
that
none
shall
dwell
therein,
neither
man
nor
beast,
but
that
it
shall
be
desolate
for
ever.
\VS{63}And
it
shall
be,
when
thou
hast
made
an
end
of
reading
this
book,
that
thou shalt
bind
a
stone
to
it,
and
cast
it
into
the
midst
of
Euphrates:
\VS{64}and
thou shalt
say,
Thus
shall
Babylon
sink,
and
shall
not
rise
again
because
of
the
evil
that
I
will
bring
upon
her:
and
they
shall
be
weary.
Thus
far
are
the
words
of
Jeremiah.

\par }\Chap{52}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Zedekiah
was
one
and
twenty
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem:
and
his
mother’s
name
was
Hamutal
the
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
\VS{2}And
he
did
that
which
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
\VS{3}For
through
the
anger
of
the
LORD
did
it
come
to
pass
in
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
from
his
presence:
and
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,
in
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
that
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
came,
he
and
all
his
army,
against
Jerusalem,
and
encamped
against
it;
and
they
built
forts
against
it
round
about.
\VS{5}So
the
city
was
besieged
unto
the
eleventh
year
of
king
Zedekiah.
\VS{6}In
the
fourth
month,
in
the
ninth
day
of
the
month,
the
famine
was
sore
in
the
city,
so
that
there
was
no
bread
for
the
people
of
the
land.
\VS{7}Then
a
breach
was
made
in
the
city,
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
against
the
city
round
about:)
and
they
went
by
the
way
of
the
Arabah.
\VS{8}But
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}Then
they
took
the
king,
and
carried
him
up
unto
the
king
of
Babylon
to
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath;
and
he
gave
judgment
upon
him.
\VS{10}And
the
king
of
Babylon
slew
the
sons
of
Zedekiah
before
his
eyes:
he
slew
also
all
the
princes
of
Judah
in
Riblah.
\VS{11}And
he
put
out
the
eyes
of
Zedekiah;
and
the
king
of
Babylon
bound
him
in
fetters,
and
carried
him
to
Babylon,
and
put
him
in
prison
till
the
day
of
his
death.
\VS{12}Now
in
the
fifth
month,
in
the
tenth
day
of
the
month,
which
was
the
nineteenth
year
of
king
Nebuchadrezzar,
king
of
Babylon,
came
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard,
which
stood
before
the
king
of
Babylon,
into
Jerusalem:
\VS{13}and
he
burned
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
the
king’s
house;
and
all
the
houses
of
Jerusalem,
even
every
great
house,
burned
he
with
fire.
\VS{14}And
all
the
army
of
the
Chaldeans,
that
were
with
the
captain
of
the
guard,
brake
down
all
the
walls
of
Jerusalem
round
about.
\VS{15}Then
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
carried
away
captive
of
the
poorest
sort
of
the
people,
and
the
residue
of
the
people
that
were
left
in
the
city,
and
those
that
fell
away,
that
fell
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
and
the
residue
of
the
multitude.
\VS{16}But
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
left
of
the
poorest
of
the
land
to
be
vinedressers
and
husbandmen.
\VS{17}And
the
pillars
of
brass
that
were
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
the
bases
and
the
brasen
sea
that
were
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
did
the
Chaldeans
break
in
pieces,
and
carried
all
the
brass
of
them
to
Babylon.
\VS{18}The
pots
also,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
snuffers,
and
the
basons,
and
the
spoons,
and
all
the
vessels
of
brass
wherewith
they
ministered,
took
they
away.
\VS{19}And
the
cups,
and
the
firepans,
and
the
basons,
and
the
pots,
and
the
candlesticks,
and
the
spoons,
and
the
bowls;
that
which
was
of
gold,
in
gold,
and
that
which
was
of
silver,
in
silver,
the
captain
of
the
guard
took
away.
\VS{20}The
two
pillars,
the
one
sea,
and
the
twelve
brasen
bulls
that
were
under
the
bases,
which
king
Solomon
had
made
for
the
house
of
the
LORD:
the
brass
of
all
these
vessels
was
without
weight.
\VS{21}And
as
for
the
pillars,
the
height
of
the
one
pillar
was
eighteen
cubits;
and
a
line
of
twelve
cubits
did
compass
it;
and
the
thickness
thereof
was
four
fingers:
it
was
hollow.
\VS{22}And
a
chapiter
of
brass
was
upon
it;
and
the
height
of
the
one
chapiter
was
five
cubits,
with
network
and
pomegranates
upon
the
chapiter
round
about,
all
of
brass:
and
the
second
pillar
also
had
like
unto
these,
and
pomegranates.
\VS{23}And
there
were
ninety
and
six
pomegranates
on
the
sides;
all
the
pomegranates
were
an
hundred
upon
the
network
round
about.
\VS{24}And
the
captain
of
the
guard
took
Seraiah
the
chief
priest,
and
Zephaniah
the
second
priest,
and
the
three
keepers
of
the
door:
\VS{25}and
out
of
the
city
he
took
an
officer
that
was
set
over
the
men
of
war;
and
seven
men
of
them
that
saw
the
king’s
face,
which
were
found
in
the
city;
and
the
scribe
of
the
captain
of
the
host,
who
mustered
the
people
of
the
land;
and
threescore
men
of
the
people
of
the
land,
that
were
found
in
the
midst
of
the
city.
\VS{26}And
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
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.
So
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
Jews
and
three
and
twenty:
\VS{29}in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar
he
carried
away
captive
from
Jerusalem
eight
hundred
thirty
and
two
persons:
\VS{30}in
the
three
and
twentieth
year
of
Nebuchadrezzar
Nebuzaradan
the
captain
of
the
guard
carried
away
captive
of
the
Jews
seven
hundred
forty
and
five
persons:
all
the
persons
were
four
thousand
and
six
hundred.
\VS{31}And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
seven
and
thirtieth
year
of
the
captivity
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
in
the
twelfth
month,
in
the
five
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
that
Evil-merodach
king
of
Babylon,
in
the
{\ADD{
first
}}year
of
his
reign,
lifted
up
the
head
of
Jehoiachin
king
of
Judah,
and
brought
him
forth
out
of
prison;
\VS{32}and
he
spake
kindly
to
him,
and
set
his
throne
above
the
throne
of
the
kings
that
were
with
him
in
Babylon.
\VS{33}and
he
changed
his
prison
garments,
and
did
eat
bread
before
him
continually
all
the
days
of
his
life.
\VS{34}and
for
his
allowance,
there
was
a
continual
allowance
given
him
of
the
king
of
Babylon,
every
day
a
portion
until
the
day
of
his
death,
all
the
days
of
his
life.
