Jeremiah Chapter 25
v3 The word of the Lord came unto me, but you have not hearkened. v4 The Lord has sent his servants, the prophets, rising early; but you have not hearkened nor inclined your ear to hear. v5 Turn everyone from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land. v6 Go not after other gods to serve them and worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands, and I will do you no hurt. v7 Yet you have not hearkened unto me, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands. v8 Because you have not heard my words, v9 Behold, I will take all the families of the north, and Nebuchadnezzar will bring them against this land; I will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment and a hissing and perpetual desolations. v10 I will take from them the voice of mirth, gladness, bridegroom, bride, millstone, light of candle.
v11 This whole land shall be a desolation and astonishment; these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. v12 When 70 years are accomplished, I will punish the King of Babylon and make it perpetual desolations. v13 I will bring upon that land all my words against it. v14 I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the work of their own hands. v15 Take the wine cup of his fury at my hand, cause all the nations to drink it. v16 They shall drink and be moved and mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. v17 Then took I the cup at the Lord’s hand and made the nations to drink. v18 To make them a desolation, astonishment and a hissing and a curse, unto this day. v27 This says the Lord, drink you and be drunken and spue and fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. v28 If they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, you shall tell them, you shall certainly drink.
v29 For lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon the inhabitants of the earth. v30 The Lord shall roar from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar and give a shout as they that tread the grapes against the inhabitants of the earth. v31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; the Lord has a controversy with the nations; he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword.
v32 Evil shall go forth from nation to nation, a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. v33 The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth to the other end; they shall not be lamented nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. v34 Howl ye shepherds and cry and wallow yourself in ashes, ye principals of the flock, for the days of your slaughter and dispersion are accomplished; ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. v35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principals of the flock to escape. v36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds and an howling of the principals of the flock shall be heard, for the Lord has spoiled their pasture. v37 The peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord. v38 He has forsaken his covert as a lion, for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, because of his fierce anger.
Jeremiah Chapter 26
v2 Stand in the court of the Lord’s house and speak unto all the cities of Judah all the words which I command you to speak; diminish not a word. v3 If so be that they will hearken and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purposed to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. v4 If you will not hearken to me to walk in my law which I have set before you. v5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you both rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened. v6 Then I will make this house like Shiloh, I will make this city a curse to all nations of the earth. v8 When Jeremiah had made an end of speaking that the priests, prophets and all the people took him, saying, you shall surely die. v9 Why hast you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, this house shall be as Shiloh, the city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? All the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
v10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, v11 They said, this man is worthy to die, for he has prophesied against this city as you have heard with your ears. v12 Then spake Jeremiah, the Lord has sent me to prophesy against this house all the words you have heard. v13 Now amend your ways and your doings and obey the voice of the Lord, and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you. v14 As for me, I am in your hand to do with me as seems good and meet unto you.
v15 Know for a certain that if you put me to death, you shall bring innocent blood upon yourselves, for a truth the Lord has sent me to speak all these words in your ears. v16 Then said the princes, this man is not worthy to die, for he has spoken unto us in the name of the Lord. v18 Who were 2 men that prophesied in the name of the Lord? Micah and Urijah. v21 Jehoiakim sought to put Urijah to death; when Urijah heard it, he was afraid and fled into Egypt. v22 Jehoiakim sent men into Egypt. v23 They fetched him and brought him to Jehoiakim who slew him with the sword, cast his dead body in the grave of the common people. v24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremiah Chapter 27
v2 Make thee bonds and yokes and put them upon your neck. v3 Send them to the king of Edom, Ammonites, Tyrus, Zidon. v5 I have made the earth by my great power and my outstretched arm; I have given it unto whom it seems meet unto me. v6 I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar my servant. v7 All nations shall serve him. v8 It shall come to pass, the nation which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, that will not put their neck under the yoke of Babylon, that nation I will punish with the sword, famine, pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
v9 Hearken not unto your prophets, diviners, dreamers, enchanters, sorcerers, which say, you shall not serve the king of Babylon. v10 For they prophesy a lie unto you to remove you far from your land, that I should drive you out and you should perish. v11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of Babylon, those will I let remain still in their own land; they shall till it and dwell therein. v21 This says the Lord concerning the vessels that remain in house of the Lord. v22 They shall be carried to Babylon, there shall they be until I visit them; then will I bring them up and restore them to this place.
Jeremiah Chapter 28
v2 This says the Lord, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. v3 Within 2 full years will I bring again to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house. v4 I will bring again Jeconiah and all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon; I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. v9 The prophet that prophesied of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known that the Lord has truly sent him.
v10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and brake it. v11 Even so will I break the yoke of all nations within the space of two full years. v13 Go tell Hananiah, you have broken the yokes of wood, but you shall make for them yokes of iron. v14 I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar. v15 Then said Jeremiah to Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you; you make this people trust in a lie. v16 I will cast you from off the face of the earth; this year you shall die because you have taught rebellion against the Lord. v17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Jeremiah Chapter 29
v5 Build houses and dwell in them, plant gardens and eat the fruit of them. v6 Take ye wives and beget sons, that ye may be increased and not diminished. v7 Seek the peace of the city and pray the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof you shall have peace. v8 Let not your prophets deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. v9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name; I have not sent them. v10 After seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you and perform my good word toward you in causing you to return to this place.
v11 For I know the thoughts I have toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end, or to give you a future and hope. v12 You shall call upon me and you shall go and pray, I will hearken unto you. v13 You shall seek me and find me when you shall search for me with all your heart. v14 I will be found of you, I will turn away your captivity, I will gather you from all nations.
v15 Because you said, the Lord has raised us up prophets in Babylon. v16 This says the Lord of the king that sits on the throne of David. v17 I will send upon them the sword, famine, pestilence; I will make them like vile figs that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. v18 I will persecute them with the sword, famine, pestilence, deliver them to be removed to all kingdoms, to be a curse, astonishment, hissing, reproach among all nations. v19 Because they have not hearkened to my words which I sent them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, but they would not hear.
v21 To Ahab which prophesy a lie, I will deliver them into hand of Nebuchadnezzar; he shall slay them before your eyes. v22 Of them shall be taken up a curse, saying, the Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire. v23 Because they have committed villainy in Israel and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wife and have spoken lying words in my name which I have not commanded them, even I know and I am a witness, says the Lord. v25 To Shemaiah, because you have sent letters in your name,
v26 The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada, that you should be officers in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison. v27 Why have you not reproved Jeremiah which makes himself a prophet? v28 For he sent unto us, saying, this captivity is long, build ye houses. v29 Zephaniah read the letter in the ears of Jeremiah. v31 Because Shemaiah has prophesied and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie. v32 I will punish Shemaiah; his seed shall not have a man to dwell among his people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord.
Jeremiah Chapter 30
v2 Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto you in a book. v3 The days come that I will bring again the captivity of my people; I will cause them to return to this land. v6 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 to paleness? v7 This day is great, it is even the day of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. v8 I will break his yoke from off your neck and burst your bonds. v10 Fear not, neither be dismayed, O Israel, for I will save you from afar.
v11 For I am with you to save you; though I make a full end of all nations whether I have scattered you, I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; I will not leave you altogether unpunished. v12 Your bruise is incurable and your wound grievous. v13 There is none to plead your cause that you may be bound up; you have no healing medicine. v14 All your lovers have forgotten you, they do not seek you; I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity, because your sins were increased. v15 Why criest you for your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable for the multitude of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
v16 All they that devour you shall be devoured; all your adversaries shall go into captivity; they that spoil you shall be a spoil; all they that prey upon you shall give for a prey. v17 I will restore health unto you; I will heal you of your wounds, because they called you an outcast, saying, this is Zion whom no man seeks after. v18 I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents and have mercy on his dwelling places; the city shall be builded upon her own heap; the palace shall remain after the manner. v19 Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; I will multiply them, they shall not be few; I will glorify them, they shall not be small. v20 Their children shall be as aforetime; their congregation shall be established before me; I will punish all that oppress them. v21 The whirlwind of the Lord goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind; it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. v22 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return until he have done it, until he has performed the intents of his heart; in the latter days you shall consider it.
Jeremiah Chapter 31
v1 At that time the Lord will be the God of the families of Israel; they shall be my people. v2 The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness, even Israel when I went to cause him to rest. v3 The Lord appeared of old, I loved you with everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you. v4 I will build you and you shall be built; you shall again be adorned with your tabrets and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry. v5 You shall plant vines upon mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant and eat them as common things. v6 There shall be a day that the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, arise ye, let us go unto Zion. v7 Sing with gladness for Jacob and shout along the chiefs of nations; publish ye, praise.
v8 I will bring them from north country and gather them from the coasts with them the blind, lame, woman with child. v9 They shall come with weeping and supplications; I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel and Ephraim is my first born. v10 He that scatters Israel will gather him and keep him as a shepherd does his flock. v11 The Lord has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. v12 They shall come and sing in the heights of Zion, shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, wine, oil, for the young of the flock and of the herd; their soul shall be as a watered garden; they shall not sorrow anymore.
v13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance; I will turn their mourning into joy and will comfort them and make them rejoice from their sorrows. v14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness; my people shall be satisfied with my goodness. v15 A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, for they were not. v16 Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded; they shall come again from the land of the enemy. v17 There is hope in your end that your children shall come again to their own borders. v18 I heard Ephraim bemoaning thus: You have chastised me and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke; turn ye me and I shall be turned, for you are my God.
v19 After I was turned I repented; after I was instructed I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. v20 Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a pleasant child? Since I spake against him I do earnestly remember him still; therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him. v22 How long will you go about, O backsliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth, a woman shall compass a man. v25 I have satiated the weary soul and have replenished every sorrowful soul. v26 Upon this I awaked and behold my sleep was sweet unto me.
v28 Like I have watched over them to pluck up and to throw down and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant. v29 In those days they shall say no more, your fathers have eaten a sour grape and your children’s teeth are set on edge. v30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eats sour grape his teeth shall be on edge. v32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt which covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them. v33 This is the covenant I will make: I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts.
Jeremiah Chapter 32
v2 King of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem; Jeremiah was in court prison. v7 Your uncle Hananeel shall come unto you, saying, buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is thine. v8 So Hananeel came to me according to the word of the Lord; then I knew it was the word of the Lord. v14 Thus said the Lord, take these evidences of the purchase, both which is sealed and which is open, put them in an earthen vessel that they may continue many days. v15 This says the Lord, houses, fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
v18 You show lovingkindness unto thousands and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children; the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts. v19 Great in counsel and mighty in work, for your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings. v23 They obeyed not your voice neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do; therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
v27 I am the Lord of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me? v28 I will give this city into the hands of the Chaldeans. v29 The Chaldeans that fight against this city shall come and set it on fire and burn it with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal to provoke me to anger. v30 The children of Israel have only done evil before me from their youth; they have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands. v31 This city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day, that I should remove it from before my face. v33 They have turned unto me the back and not the face; though I taught them rising up early and teaching them, they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
v34 They set their abominations in the house which is called by my name to defile it. v35 They built the high places of Hinnom to cause their sons and daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech. v36 Concerning this city whereof you say, it shall be delivered into hands of King of Babylon. v37 I will gather them from all countries whither I have driven them in my anger; I will bring them again unto this place; I will cause them to dwell safely. v39 I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me forever. v40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them; I will not turn away from them to do them good; I will put my fear in their hearts; they shall not depart from me. v41 I will rejoice over them to do them good; I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and soul. v42 Like I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. v43 Fields shall be bought in this land whereof you say, it is desolate without man or beast, it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans. v44 Men shall buy fields for money, for I will cause their captivity to return.
Jeremiah Chapter 33
v3 Call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not. v4 Thus says the Lord concerning the houses of this city. v5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in my anger and fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. v6 I will bring health and cure; I will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. v7 I will cause the captivity of Judah and Israel to return; I will build them as at the first. v8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity; I will pardon all their iniquities. v9 It shall be to me a name of joy and praise and an honor before the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. v10 Again there shall be heard
v11 The voice of joy and gladness. v12 In this place which is desolate shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. v14 The days come that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel. v15 In those days I will cause the branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. v16 In those days Judah shall be saved and Jerusalem dwell safely; this is the name she shall be called: The Lord our righteousness. v17 David shall never want a man to sit on the throne. v18 Neither shall the priests want a man to offer burnt sacrifices. v20 If you can break my covenant of the day and night, that there should not be day and night in their seasons, v21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David, that he should not have a son to reign. v22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David. v25 If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances, v26 Then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers.
Jeremiah Chapter 34
v2 Go speak to Zedekiah, I will give this city into the hands of king of Babylon. v3 You shall not escape out of his hands, but shall be taken and delivered into his hands. v4 The word of the Lord to Zedekiah, you shall not die by the sword. v5 You shall die in peace. v17 You have not hearkened unto me in proclaiming liberty, everyone to his brother; I proclaim a liberty for you to the sword, to the famine; I will make you to be removed into all kingdoms of earth. v19 I will give the men that have transgressed, v20 I will give them into the hands of their enemies, into the hand of them that seek their life; their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls and beasts. v22 I will command, cause them to return to this city; they shall fight against it, take it and burn it with fire; I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah Chapter 35
v2 Go to the house of the Rechabites; give them wine to drink. v5 I set before them pots full of wine; I said, drink ye wine. v6 They said, we will drink no wine, for Jonadab commanded us, saying, ye shall drink no wine. v7 Brother shall ye build houses nor sow seed nor plant vineyard; you shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days. v8 Thus have we obeyed. v13 Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? v14 The words of Jonadab are performed unto this day; notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early, but ye hearkened not unto me.
v15 I have sent my servants the prophets, saying, return ye now every man from his evil way and amend your doings, go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land; but ye have not inclined your ear nor hearkened unto me. v17 Therefore I will bring upon Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they have not heard; I have called unto them but they have not answered. v18 Jeremiah said to house of Rechabites, because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab, v19 Therefore Jonadab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
Jeremiah Chapter 36
v2 Take thee a roll of a book and write therein all the words I have spoken unto you against Israel. v3 It may be the house of Judah will hear all the evil I purpose to do unto them, that they may turn every man from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and sin. v4 Jeremiah called Baruch; 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. v5 Jeremiah commanded, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord. v6 Go read in the roll which you have written in the ears of the people. v7 It may be they will present their supplications before the Lord and will return everyone from his evil way, for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people.
v14 All the princes take the roll and come. v15 Sit down and read. v16 When they heard all the words they were afraid. v17 They asked Baruch, how did you write all these words? v18 Baruch answered them, he pronounced all these words unto me. v19 Then said the princes, go hide thee and Jeremiah; let no man know where ye be. v20 They told all the words in the ears of the king. v22 The king sat in winter house, there was a fire. v23 When Jehudi read three or four leaves, he cut it with his own knife and cast it into the fire; all the roll was consumed in the fire. v24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
v25 Nevertheless, Elnathan, Delaiah, Gemariah made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll, but he would not hear them. v26 The king commanded to take Baruch and Jeremiah, but the Lord hid them. v27 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king burned the roll, saying, v28 Take thee another roll, write in it all the former words that were in first roll. v29 And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, you have burned the roll. v30 Therefore he shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, in the night to the frost. v31 I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; I will bring upon inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not. v32 Then took Jeremiah another roll.
Jeremiah Chapter 37
v1 Zedekiah reigned instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar made king in Judah. v2 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. v3 Zedekiah sent Jehucal, saying, pray now unto the Lord for us. v4 Jeremiah came in and went among the people, for they had not put him into prison. v5 Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt; when Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Jeremiah Chapter 38
v1 Shephatiah heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken. v2 He that remains in this city shall die with the sword, famine, pestilence; he that goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live; he shall have his life for a prey and shall live. v3 This city shall surely be given into hands of king of Babylon, which shall take it. v4 The princes said, let this man be put to death, for he weakens the hands of men of war; this man seeks not the welfare of this people but the hurt. v5 Zedekiah said, he is in your hand, for the king is not he that can do anything against you. v6 They took Jeremiah, cast him in dungeon; they let down Jeremiah with cords; in the dungeon there was no water but mire, so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. v7 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs, heard they had put Jeremiah in dungeon.
v8 Ebedmelech spake to the king. v9 These men have done evil to Jeremiah the prophet; he is like to die of hunger, for there is no more bread in the city. v10 So Ebedmelech took old rotten rags and let them down into the dungeon. v11 Ebedmelech said to Jeremiah, put these old rags under your armholes. v12 They drew up Jeremiah with cords. v14 Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah unto him and said, I will ask you a thing. v15 Jeremiah said, if I declare it unto you, will you not surely put me to death? v16 Zedekiah said, I will not put you to death if you will go forth to king of Babylon; then this city will be given to Chaldeans and burn it with fire. v19 Zedekiah said, I am afraid of those that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hands and they mock me. v20 Jeremiah said, they shall not deliver you; obey the voice of the Lord which I spake unto you, so it shall be well unto you. v21 But if you refuse to go, this is the word of the Lord. v23 You shall not escape out of their hands. v24 Zedekiah said, let no man know of these words. v28 Jeremiah above in court of prison until the day Jerusalem was taken.
Jeremiah Chapter 39
v1 In the 9th year of Zedekiah came Nebuchadnezzar and his army. v2 In the 11th year, the 4th month, the city was broken up. v3 All the princes of Babylon sat in the middle gate. v4 When Zedekiah saw them, they fled and went out of the city by night. v5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. v6 The king of Babylon slew Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes; king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. v7 He put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with chains to carry him to Babylon. v8 The Chaldeans burned the king’s house with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. v9 Nebuzaradan carried away captive into Babylon the remnant.
v10 Nebuzaradan left the poor of the people which had nothing and gave them vineyards and fields. v11 Nebuchadnezzar gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, saying, v12 Take him, look well unto him, do him no harm, do unto him as he shall say unto you. v14 They took Jeremiah out of prison, committed him to Gedaliah that he should carry him home, so he dwelt among his people. v15 The word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah while he was shut up in prison court. v16 Speak unto Ebedmelech, I will bring my words against this city for evil and not for good; they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. v17 But I will deliver you in that day; you shall not be given into the hands of the men whom you are afraid. v18 I will surely deliver you; you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey unto you, because you have put your trust in me.
Jeremiah Chapter 40
v2 Nebuzaradan took Jeremiah and said, the Lord your God has pronounced evil against this place. v3 Now the Lord has brought it, because you have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed his voice; therefore this thing is upon you. v4 Now I loose you from these chains; if it seems good unto you to come with me to Babylon, come; I will look well unto you, but if it seems ill unto you, forbear. v5 Go back to Gedaliah, whom king of Babylon made governor. v14 They took Jeremiah out of prison, committed him to Gedaliah that he should carry him home, so he dwelt among his people. v15 The word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah while he was shut up in prison court. v16 Speak unto Ebedmelech, “I will bring my words against this city for evil and not for good; they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.” v17 “But I will deliver you in that day; you shall not be given into the hands of the men whom you are afraid.” v18 “I will surely deliver you; you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey unto you, because you have put your trust in me.”
Jeremiah Chapter 40
v2 Nebuzaradan took Jeremiah and said, “The Lord your God has pronounced evil against this place.” v3 “Now the Lord has brought it, because you have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed his voice; therefore this thing is upon you.” v4 “Now I loose you from these chains; if it seems good unto you to come with me to Babylon, come; I will look well unto you; but if it seems ill unto you, forbear.” v5 “Go back to Gedaliah, whom king of Babylon made governor.” v14 “Do you know that Baalis, King of Ammonites, sent Ishmael to slay you?” But Gedaliah believed them not. v15 Johanan spake to Gedaliah, “Let me go, I will slay Ishmael.” v16 But Gedaliah said, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”
Jeremiah Chapter 41
v1 It came to pass, Ishmael came unto Gedaliah. v2 Then arose Ishmael and smote Gedaliah with the sword. v3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with Gedaliah at Mizpah. v4 The second day after he had slain Gedaliah, no man knew it. v5 Then came fourscore men, having their beards shaven, clothes rent, having cut themselves with offerings and incense. v6 Ishmael went forth to meet them, weeping all along as he went; as he met them he said, “Come to Gedaliah.” v7 They came midst city, Ishmael slew them. v8 Ten men among them said, “Slay is not, for we have treasures in the field.” So Ishmael forbade and slew them not. v10 Ishmael carried away captive the residue of the people and departed to go over to the Ammonites. v11 When Johanan heard all the evil Ishmael had done, v12 They found Ishmael by the great waters in Gibeon. v15 Ishmael escaped and went to the Ammonites.
Jeremiah Chapter 42
v1 All captains of the forces came near. v2 Said to Jeremiah, “Pray for us unto the Lord.” v3 “That the Lord may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.” v4 Jeremiah said, “I will pray according to your words; it shall come to pass whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.” v5 They said to Jeremiah, “The Lord be a witness between us if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord shall send you to us.”
v6 “Whether it be good or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord.” v7 After ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. v8 Then called he all the people. v9 And said to them, “This says the Lord.” v10 “If you will abide in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; I will plant you and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.” v11 “Be not afraid of king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; for I am with you to save you and deliver you from his hand.” v12 “I will show mercies unto you, that he may show mercy upon you and cause you to return to your own land.”
v13 “But if you say, ‘We will not dwell in this land,’ neither obey the voice of the Lord,” v14 “Saying, ‘No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war,’” v15 “If you wholly set your faces to enter Egypt and go to sojourn there,” v16 “It shall come to pass, the sword which you feared shall overtake you in Egypt, and the famine whereof you were afraid shall follow close after you in Egypt; there shall ye die.”
v17 “So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go to Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword and famine, pestilence; none of them shall remain nor escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.” v18 “As my anger and fury has been poured forth upon Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you when you shall enter Egypt; you shall be an execration and an astonishment and a curse and reproach; you shall see this place no more.” v19 “O ye remnant of Judah, go ye not into Egypt; know certainly that I have admonished you this day.” v20 “When ye sent me unto you, saying, ‘Pray for us,’” v21 “I declared unto you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor any thing for the which he has sent me unto you.” v22 “Know certainly that you shall die with the sword, famine, pestilence in the place whither ye desire to go and sojourn.”
