And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the Lord [03068] his God [0430], and humbled [03665] not himself before [06440] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] speaking from the mouth [06310] of the Lord [03068].
To fulfil [04390] the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] by the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], until the land [0776] had enjoyed [07521] her sabbaths [07676]: for as long as [03117] she lay desolate [08074] she kept sabbath [07673], to fulfil [04390] threescore and ten [07657] years [08141].

Come [03212], and let us smite [05221] him with the tongue [03956], and let us not give heed [07181] to any of his words [01697].with…: or, for the tongue
Then came [0935] Jeremiah [03414] from Tophet [08612], whither the Lord [03068] had sent [07971] him to prophesy [05012]; and he stood [05975] in the court [02691] of the Lord's [03068] house [01004]; and said [0559] to all the people [05971],
Now Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Immer [0564] the priest [03548], who was also chief [06496] governor [05057] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], heard [08085] that Jeremiah [03414] prophesied [05012] these things [01697].
Then Pashur [06583] smote [05221] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], and put [05414] him in the stocks [04115] that were in the high [05945] gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144], which was by the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that Pashur [06583] brought forth [03318] Jeremiah [03414] out of the stocks [04115]. Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto him, The Lord [03068] hath not called [07121] thy name [08034] Pashur [06583], but Magor–missabib [04036].Magor–missabib: that is, Fear round about
The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], when king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] sent [07971] unto him Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Melchiah [04441], and Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the priest [03548], saying [0559],
Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] to Zedekiah [06667]:
Then said [0559] the Lord [03068] unto me, What seest [07200] thou, Jeremiah [03414]? And I said [0559], Figs [08384]; the good [02896] figs [08384], very [03966] good [02896]; and the evil [07451], very [03966] evil [07451], that cannot be eaten [0398], they are so evil [07455].
The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning all the people [05971] of Judah [03063] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], that was the first [07224] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894];
The which Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] unto all the people [05971] of Judah [03063], and to all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559],
And I will bring [0935] upon that land [0776] all my words [01697] which I have pronounced [01696] against it, even all that is written [03789] in this book [05612], which Jeremiah [03414] hath prophesied [05012] against all the nations [01471].
So the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] heard [08085] Jeremiah [03414] speaking [01696] these words [01697] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all that the Lord [03068] had commanded [06680] him to speak [01696] unto all the people [05971], that the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] took [08610] him, saying [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191].
Why hast thou prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the Lord [03068], saying [0559], This house [01004] shall be like Shiloh [07887], and this city [05892] shall be desolate [02717] without an inhabitant [03427]? And all the people [05971] were gathered [06950] against Jeremiah [03414] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
Then spake [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto all the princes [08269] and to all the people [05971], saying [0559], The Lord [03068] sent [07971] me to prophesy [05012] against this house [01004] and against this city [05892] all the words [01697] that ye have heard [08085].
And there was also a man [0376] that prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the Lord [03068], Urijah [0223] the son [01121] of Shemaiah [08098] of Kirjath–jearim [07157], who prophesied [05012] against this city [05892] and against this land [0776] according to all the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414]:
Nevertheless the hand [03027] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] was with Jeremiah [03414], that they should not give [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the people [05971] to put him to death [04191].
In the beginning [07225] of the reign [04467] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came this word [01697] unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
Then the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto the prophet [05030] Hananiah [02608] in the presence [05869] of the priests [03548], and in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971] that stood [05975] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068],
Even the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], Amen [0543]: the Lord [03068] do [06213] so: the Lord [03068] perform [06965] thy words [01697] which thou hast prophesied [05012], to bring again [07725] the vessels [03627] of the Lord's [03068] house [01004], and all that is carried away captive [01473], from Babylon [0894] into this place [04725].
Then Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] took [03947] the yoke [04133] from off the prophet [05030] Jeremiah's [03414] neck [06677], and brake [07665] it.
And Hananiah [02608] spake [0559] in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068]; Even so will I break [07665] the yoke [05923] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] from the neck [06677] of all nations [01471] within the space of two full [03117] years [08141]. And the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] went [03212] his way [01870].
Then the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet, after [0310] that Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] had broken [07665] the yoke [04133] from off the neck [06677] of the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Then said [0559] the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] unto Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030], Hear [08085] now, Hananiah [02608]; The Lord [03068] hath not sent [07971] thee; but thou makest this people [05971] to trust [0982] in a lie [08267].
Now these are the words [01697] of the letter [05612] that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] sent [07971] from Jerusalem [03389] unto the residue [03499] of the elders [02205] which were carried away captives [01473], and to the priests [03548], and to the prophets [05030], and to all the people [05971] whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] had carried away captive [01540] from Jerusalem [03389] to Babylon [0894];
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved [01605] Jeremiah [03414] of Anathoth [06069], which maketh himself a prophet [05012] to you?
And Zephaniah [06846] the priest [03548] read [07121] this letter [05612] in the ears [0241] of Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030].
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068] in the tenth [06224] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], which was the eighteenth [08141] [06240] [08083] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019].
For then the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] besieged [06696] Jerusalem [03389]: and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] was shut up [03607] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], which was in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004].
And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], The word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Moreover the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414] the second [08145] time, while he was yet shut up [06113] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], saying [0559],
And the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Moreover the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], when Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and all his army [02428], and all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] of his dominion [04475] [03027], and all the people [05971], fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] thereof, saying [0559],of his…: Heb. the dominion of his hand
Then Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] all these words [01697] unto Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] in Jerusalem [03389],
This is the word [01697] that came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], after [0310] that the king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] had made [03772] a covenant [01285] with all the people [05971] which were at Jerusalem [03389], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] unto them;
Therefore the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068] in the days [03117] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559],
Then I took [03947] Jaazaniah [02970] the son [01121] of Jeremiah [03414], the son [01121] of Habaziniah [02262], and his brethren [0251], and all his sons [01121], and the whole house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397];
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto the house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Because ye have obeyed [08085] the commandment [04687] of Jonadab [03082] your father [01], and kept [08104] all his precepts [04687], and done [06213] according unto all that he hath commanded [06680] you:
And it came to pass in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], that this word [01697] came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], saying [0559],
Then Jeremiah [03414] called [07121] Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]: and Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he had spoken [01696] unto him, upon a roll [04039] of a book [05612].
And Jeremiah [03414] commanded [06680] Baruch [01263], saying [0559], I am shut up [06113]; I cannot [03201] go [0935] into the house [01004] of the Lord [03068]:
And Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] did [06213] according to all that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] commanded [06680] him, reading [07121] in the book [05612] the words [01697] of the Lord [03068] in the Lord's [03068] house [01004].
Then read [07121] Baruch [01263] in the book [05612] the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414] in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], in the chamber [03957] of Gemariah [01587] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], in the higher [05945] court [02691], at the entry [06607] of the new [02319] gate [08179] of the Lord's [03068] house [01004], in the ears [0241] of all the people [05971].entry: or, door
Then said [0559] the princes [08269] unto Baruch [01263], Go [03212], hide [05641] thee, thou and Jeremiah [03414]; and let no man [0376] know [03045] where [0375] ye be.
But the king [04428] commanded [06680] Jerahmeel [03396] the son [01121] of Hammelech [04429], and Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Azriel [05837], and Shelemiah [08018] the son [01121] of Abdeel [05655], to take [03947] Baruch [01263] the scribe [05608] and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030]: but the Lord [03068] hid [05641] them.of Hammelech: or, of the king
Then the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], after [0310] that the king [04428] had burned [08313] the roll [04039], and the words [01697] which Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] at the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Then took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] another [0312] roll [04039], and gave [05414] it to Baruch [01263] the scribe [05608], the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]; who wrote [03789] therein from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the book [05612] which Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had burned [08313] in the fire [0784]: and there were added [03254] besides unto them many [07227] like [01992] words [01697].like: Heb. as they
But neither he, nor his servants [05650], nor the people [05971] of the land [0776], did hearken [08085] unto the words [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414].by…: Heb. by the hand of the prophet
And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971] Jehucal [03081] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018] and Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the priest [03548] to the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], Pray [06419] now unto the Lord [03068] our God [0430] for us.
Now Jeremiah [03414] came in [0935] and went out [03318] among [08432] the people [05971]: for they had not put [05414] him into prison [03628] [01004].
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] unto the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Then Jeremiah [03414] went forth [03318] out of Jerusalem [03389] to go [03212] into the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], to separate [02505] himself thence in the midst [08432] of the people [05971].separate…: or, to slip away from thence in the midst of the people
And when he was in the gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144], a captain [01167] of the ward [06488] was there, whose name [08034] was Irijah [03376], the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], the son [01121] of Hananiah [02608]; and he took [08610] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], Thou fallest away [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778].
Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414], It is false [08267]; I fall not away [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778]. But he hearkened [08085] not to him: so Irijah [03376] took [08610] Jeremiah [03414], and brought [0935] him to the princes [08269].false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie
Wherefore the princes [08269] were wroth [07107] with Jeremiah [03414], and smote [05221] him, and put [05414] him in prison [0612] in the house [01004] of Jonathan [03083] the scribe [05608]: for they had made [06213] that the prison [03608].
When Jeremiah [03414] was entered [0935] into the dungeon [0953] [01004], and into the cabins [02588], and Jeremiah [03414] had remained [03427] there many [07227] days [03117];cabins: or, cells
Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971], and took him out [03947]: and the king [04428] asked [07592] him secretly [05643] in his house [01004], and said [0559], Is there any word [01697] from the Lord [03068]? And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], There is [03426]: for, said [0559] he, thou shalt be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894].
Moreover Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto king [04428] Zedekiah [06667], What have I offended [02398] against thee, or against thy servants [05650], or against this people [05971], that ye have put [05414] me in prison [03608] [01004]?
Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] commanded [06680] that they should commit [06485] Jeremiah [03414] into the court [02691] of the prison [04307], and that they should give [05414] him daily [03117] a piece [03603] of bread [03899] out of the bakers' [0644] street [02351], until all the bread [03899] in the city [05892] were spent [08552]. Thus Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307].
Then Shephatiah [08203] the son [01121] of Mattan [04977], and Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Pashur [06583], and Jucal [03116] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], and Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Malchiah [04441], heard [08085] the words [01697] that Jeremiah [03414] had spoken [01696] unto all the people [05971], saying [0559],
Then took [03947] they Jeremiah [03414], and cast [07993] him into the dungeon [0953] of Malchiah [04441] the son [01121] of Hammelech [04428], that was in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]: and they let down [07971] Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256]. And in the dungeon [0953] there was no water [04325], but mire [02916]: so Jeremiah [03414] sunk [02883] in the mire [02916].of Hammelech: or, of the king
Now when Ebed–melech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569], one [0376] of the eunuchs [05631] which was in the king's [04428] house [01004], heard [08085] that they had put [05414] Jeremiah [03414] in the dungeon [0953]; the king [04428] then sitting [03427] in the gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144];
My lord [0113] the king [04428], these men [0582] have done evil [07489] in all that they have done [06213] to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], whom they have cast [07993] into the dungeon [0953]; and he is like to die [04191] for [06440] hunger [07458] in the place [08478] where he is: for there is no more bread [03899] in the city [05892].he is like…: Heb. he will die
Then the king [04428] commanded [06680] Ebed–melech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569], saying [0559], Take [03947] from hence thirty [07970] men [0582] with thee [03027], and take up [05927] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] out of the dungeon [0953], before he die [04191].with thee: Heb. in thine hand
So Ebed–melech [05663] took [03947] the men [0582] with him [03027], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of the king [04428] under the treasury [0214], and took [03947] thence old [01094] cast clouts [05499] and old [01094] rotten rags [04418], and let them down [07971] by cords [02256] into the dungeon [0953] to Jeremiah [03414].
And Ebed–melech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], Put [07760] now these old [01094] cast clouts [05499] and rotten rags [04418] under thine armholes [03027] [0679] under the cords [02256]. And Jeremiah [03414] did [06213] so.
So they drew up [04900] Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256], and took him up [05927] out of the dungeon [0953]: and Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307].
Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971], and took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] unto him into the third [07992] entry [03996] that is in the house [01004] of the Lord [03068]: and the king [04428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], I will ask [07592] thee a thing [01697]; hide [03582] nothing from me.third: or, principal
Then Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto Zedekiah [06667], If I declare [05046] it unto thee, wilt thou not surely [04191] put me to death [04191]? and if I give thee counsel [03289], wilt thou not hearken [08085] unto me?
So Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sware [07650] secretly [05643] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], As the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], that made [06213] us this soul [05315], I will not put thee to death [04191], neither will I give [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of these men [0582] that seek [01245] thy life [05315].
Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto Zedekiah [06667], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If thou wilt assuredly [03318] go forth [03318] unto the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then thy soul [05315] shall live [02421], and this city [05892] shall not be burned [08313] with fire [0784]; and thou shalt live [02421], and thine house [01004]:
And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], I am afraid [01672] of the Jews [03064] that are fallen [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778], lest they deliver [05414] me into their hand [03027], and they mock [05953] me.
But Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], They shall not deliver [05414] thee. Obey [08085], I beseech thee, the voice [06963] of the Lord [03068], which I speak [01696] unto thee: so it shall be well [03190] unto thee, and thy soul [05315] shall live [02421].
Then said [0559] Zedekiah [06667] unto Jeremiah [03414], Let no man [0376] know [03045] of these words [01697], and thou shalt not die [04191].
Then came [0935] all the princes [08269] unto Jeremiah [03414], and asked [07592] him: and he told [05046] them according to all these words [01697] that the king [04428] had commanded [06680]. So they left off speaking [02790] with him; for the matter [01697] was not perceived [08085].they…: Heb. they were silent from him
So Jeremiah [03414] abode [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307] until the day [03117] that Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920]: and he was there when Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920].
Now Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] gave charge [06680] concerning Jeremiah [03414] to [03027] Nebuzar–adan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876], saying [0559],to: Heb. by the hand ofcaptain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen
Even they sent [07971], and took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] out of the court [02691] of the prison [04307], and committed [05414] him unto Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], that he should carry [03318] him home [01004]: so he dwelt [03427] among [08432] the people [05971].
Now the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], while he was shut up [06113] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], saying [0559],
The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the Lord [03068], after [0310] that Nebuzar–adan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had let him go [07971] from Ramah [07414], when he had taken [03947] him being bound [0631] in chains [0246] among [08432] all that were carried away captive [01546] of Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], which were carried away captive [01540] unto Babylon [0894].chains: or, manicles
And the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] Jeremiah [03414], and said [0559] unto him, The Lord [03068] thy God [0430] hath pronounced [01696] this evil [07451] upon this place [04725].
Then went [0935] Jeremiah [03414] unto Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] to Mizpah [04708]; and dwelt [03427] with him among [08432] the people [05971] that were left [07604] in the land [0776].
And said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], Let, we beseech thee, our supplication [08467] be accepted [05307] before [06440] thee, and pray [06419] for us unto the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], even for all this remnant [07611]; (for we are left [07604] but a few [04592] of many [07235], as thine eyes [05869] do behold [07200] us:)Let…: or, Let our supplication fall before thee
Then Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] said [0559] unto them, I have heard [08085] you; behold, I will pray [06419] unto the Lord [03068] your God [0430] according to your words [01697]; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing [01697] the Lord [03068] shall answer [06030] you, I will declare [05046] it unto you; I will keep [04513] nothing [01697] back [04513] from you.
Then they said [0559] to Jeremiah [03414], The Lord [03068] be a true [0571] and faithful [0539] witness [05707] between us, if we do [06213] not even according to all things [01697] for the which the Lord [03068] thy God [0430] shall send [07971] thee to us.
And it came to pass after [07093] ten [06235] days [03117], that the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414].
And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] unto all the people [05971] all the words [01697] of the Lord [03068] their God [0430], for which the Lord [03068] their God [0430] had sent [07971] him to them, even all these words [01697],
Then spake [0559] Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Hoshaiah [01955], and Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the proud [02086] men [0582], saying [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], Thou speakest [01696] falsely [08267]: the Lord [03068] our God [0430] hath not sent [07971] thee to say [0559], Go [0935] not into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there:
Even men [01397], and women [0802], and children [02945], and the king's [04428] daughters [01323], and every person [05315] that Nebuzar–adan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had left [03240] with Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], and Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374].
Then came the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414] in Tahpanhes [08471], saying [0559],
The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning all the Jews [03064] which dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], which dwell [03427] at Migdol [04024], and at Tahpanhes [08471], and at Noph [05297], and in the country [0776] of Pathros [06624], saying [0559],
Then all the men [0582] which knew [03045] that their wives [0802] had burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and all the women [0802] that stood by [05975], a great [01419] multitude [06951], even all the people [05971] that dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in Pathros [06624], answered [06030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559],
Then Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], to the men [01397], and to the women [0802], and to all the people [05971] which had given him that answer [06030] [01697], saying [0559],
Moreover Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], and to all the women [0802], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [03068], all Judah [03063] that are in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]:
The word [01697] that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] unto Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], when he had written [03789] these words [01697] in a book [05612] at the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559],
The word [01697] of the Lord [03068] which came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against the Gentiles [01471];
The word [01697] that the Lord [03068] spake [01696] to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], how Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] should come [0935] and smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
The word [01697] of the Lord [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against the Philistines [06430], before that Pharaoh [06547] smote [05221] Gaza [05804].Gaza: Heb. Azzah
The word [01697] of the Lord [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against Elam [05867] in the beginning [07225] of the reign [04438] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559],
The word [01697] that the Lord [03068] spake [01696] against Babylon [0894] and against the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778] by [03027] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030].by…: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah
The word [01697] which Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] commanded [06680] Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04271], when he went [03212] with Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] into Babylon [0894] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of his reign [04427]. And this Seraiah [08304] was a quiet [04496] prince [08269].with: or, on the behalf ofquiet…: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain
So Jeremiah [03414] wrote [03789] in a [0259] book [05612] all the evil [07451] that should come [0935] upon Babylon [0894], even all these words [01697] that are written [03789] against Babylon [0894].
And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] to Seraiah [08304], When thou comest [0935] to Babylon [0894], and shalt see [07200], and shalt read [07121] all these words [01697];
And thou shalt say [0559], Thus shall Babylon [0894] sink [08257], and shall not rise [06965] from [06440] the evil [07451] that I will bring [0935] upon her: and they shall be weary [03286]. Thus far are the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414].
Zedekiah [06667] was one [0259] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [06240] [0259] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hamutal [02537] the daughter [01323] of Jeremiah [03414] of Libnah [03841].began…: Heb. reigned
In the first [0259] year [08141] of his reign [04427] I Daniel [01840] understood [0995] by books [05612] the number [04557] of the years [08141], whereof the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], that he would accomplish [04390] seventy [07657] years [08141] in the desolations [02723] of Jerusalem [03389].
