| [1]In the beginningH7225 of the reignH4468 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came this wordH1697 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[1]In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word from the Lord, saying, |
| [2]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; StandH5975[H8798] in the courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and speakH1696[H8765] unto all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, which comeH935[H8802] to worshipH7812[H8692] in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, all the wordsH1697 that I commandH6680[H8765] thee to speakH1696[H8763] unto them; diminishH1639[H8799] not a wordH1697: |
[2]Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord's house, all the words that I command thee to speak: keep not a word back, |
| [3]If so be they will hearkenH8085[H8799], and turnH7725[H8799] every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, that I may repentH5162[H8738] me of the evilH7451, which I purposeH2803[H8802] to doH6213[H8800] unto them becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of their doingsH4611. |
[3]If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the plague, which I have determined to bring upon them, because of the wickedness of their works. |
| [4]And thou shalt sayH559[H8804] unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; If ye will not hearkenH8085[H8799] to me, to walkH3212[H8800] in my lawH8451, which I have setH5414[H8804] before youH6440, |
[4]And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not hear me to walk in my laws, which I have set before you, |
| [5]To hearkenH8085[H8800] to the wordsH1697 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whom I sentH7971[H8802] unto you, both rising up earlyH7925[H8687], and sendingH7971[H8800] H8085them, but ye have not hearkenedH8804 |
[5]And to hear the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, and will not obey them, |
| [6]Then will I makeH5414[H8804] this houseH1004 like ShilohH7887, and will makeH5414[H8799] this cityH5892 a curseH7045 to all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776. |
[6]Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. |
| [7]So the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 heardH8085[H8799] JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696[H8764] these wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. |
[7]So the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. |
| [8]Now it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615[H8763] of speakingH1696[H8763] all that the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680[H8765] him to speakH1696[H8763] unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 tookH8610[H8799] him, sayingH559[H8800], Thou shalt surelyH4191[H8800] dieH4191.[H8799] |
[8]Now when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, then the priests, and the prophets, and all the people took him, and said, Thou shalt die the death. |
| [9]Why hast thou prophesiedH5012[H8738] in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], This houseH1004 shall be like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall be desolateH2717[H8799] without an inhabitantH3427[H8802]? And all the peopleH5971 were gatheredH6950[H8735] against JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. |
[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 an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. |
| [10]When the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085[H8799] these thingsH1697, then they came upH5927[H8799] from the king'sH4428 houseH1004 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and sat downH3427[H8799] in the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'S houseH3068. |
[10]And when the princes of Judah heard of these things, they came up from the king's house into the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house. |
| [11]Then spakeH559[H8799] the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012[H8738] against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085[H8804] with your earsH241. |
[11]Then spake the priests, and the prophets unto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die: for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. |
| [12]Then spakeH559[H8799] JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], The LORDH3068 sentH7971[H8804] me to prophesyH5012[H8736] against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085.[H8804] |
[12]Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord hath sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the things that ye have heard. |
| [13]Therefore now amendH3190[H8685] your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085[H8798] the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430; and the LORDH3068 will repentH5162[H8735] him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against youH8765. |
[13]Therefore now amend your ways and your works, and hear the voice of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against you. |
| [14]As for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: doH6213[H8798] with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meet unto youH3477. |
[14]As for me, behold, I am in your hands: do with me as ye think good and right. |
| [15]But knowH3045[H8799] ye for certainH3045[H8800], that if ye put me to deathH4191[H8688], ye shall surely bringH5414[H8802] innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] thereof: for of a truthH571 the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971[H8804] me unto you to speakH1696[H8763] all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241. |
[15]But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you, to speak all these words in your ears. |
| [16]Then saidH559[H8799] the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophetsH5030; This manH376 is not worthyH4941 to dieH4194: for he hath spokenH1696[H8765] to us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
[16]Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests, and to the prophets, This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken unto us in the name of the Lord our God. |
| [17]Then rose upH6965[H8799] certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and spakeH559[H8799] to all the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,[H8800] |
[17]Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, |
| [18]MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012[H8737] in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and spakeH559[H8799] to all the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790[H8735] like a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall become heapsH5856, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forestH3293. |
[18]Michah the Morashite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be an heap, and the mountain of the house shall be as the high places of the forest. |
| [19]Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and all JudahH3063 put him at allH4191[H8687] to deathH4191[H8689]? did he not fearH3373 the LORDH3068, and besoughtH2470[H8762] the LORDH3068[H6440], and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8735] him of the evilH7451 which he had pronouncedH1696[H8765] against them? ThusH587 might we procureH6213[H8802] greatH1419 evilH7451 against our soulsH5315. |
[19]Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. |
| [20]And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012[H8693] in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of KirjathjearimH7157, who prophesiedH5012[H8735] against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414: |
[20]And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, one Urijah the son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-jearem, who prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah. |
| [21]And when JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428, with all his mighty menH1368, and all the princesH8269, heardH8085[H8799] his wordsH1697, the kingH4428 soughtH1245[H8762] to put him to deathH4191[H8687]: but when UrijahH223 heardH8085[H8799] it, he was afraidH3372[H8799], and fledH1272[H8799], and wentH935[H8799] into EgyptH4714; |
[21]Now when Jehoiakim the king with all his men of power, and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to slay him. But when Urijah heard it, he was afraid and fled, and went into Egypt. |
| [22]And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971[H8799] menH582 into EgyptH4714, namely, ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and certain menH582 with him into EgyptH4714. |
[22]Then Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, even Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain with him into Egypt. |
| [23]And they fetched forthH3318[H8686] UrijahH223 out of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935[H8686] him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221[H8686] him with the swordH2719, and castH7993[H8686] his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. |
[23]And they fetched Urijah 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 children of the people. |
| [24]Nevertheless the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with JeremiahH3414, that they should not giveH5414[H8800] him into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to put him to deathH4191.[H8687] |
[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. |
