[1]The wordH1697 which came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, when NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and all his armyH2428, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 of his dominionH3027[H4475], and all the peopleH5971, foughtH3898[H8737] against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 thereof, sayingH559,[H8800]
[2]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; GoH1980[H8800] and speakH559[H8804] to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and tellH559[H8804] him, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414[H8802] this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313[H8804] it with fireH784:
[3]And thou shalt not escape outH4422[H8735] of his handH3027, but shalt surelyH8610[H8800] be takenH8610[H8735], and deliveredH5414[H8735] into his handH3027; and thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200[H8799] the eyesH5869 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall speakH1696[H8762] with thee mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and thou shalt goH935[H8799] to BabylonH894.
[4]Yet hearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of thee, Thou shalt not dieH4191[H8799] by the swordH2719:
[5]But thou shalt dieH4191[H8799] in peaceH7965: and with the burningsH4955 of thy fathersH1, the formerH7223 kingsH4428 which were beforeH6440 thee, so shall they burnH8313[H8799] odours for thee; and they will lamentH5594[H8799] thee, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! for I have pronouncedH1696[H8765] the wordH1697, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[6]Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spakeH1696[H8762] all these wordsH1697 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389,
[7]When the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428 foughtH3898[H8737] against JerusalemH3389, and against all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 that were leftH3498[H8737], against LachishH3923, and against AzekahH5825: for these defencedH4013 citiesH5892 remainedH7604[H8738] of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
[8]This is the wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772[H8800] a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 which were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121[H8800] liberty unto themH1865;
[9]That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971[H8763] freeH2670; that none should serveH5647[H8800] himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
[10]Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935[H8804] into the covenantH1285, heardH8085[H8799] that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971[H8763] freeH2670, that none should serveH5647[H8800] themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085[H8799], and let them goH7971.[H8762]
[11]But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725[H8799], and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971[H8765] freeH2670, to returnH7725[H8686], and brought them into subjectionH3533[H8799][H8675][H3533][H8686] for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
[12]Therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, sayingH559,[H8800]
[13]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; I madeH3772[H8804] a covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I brought them forthH3318[H8687] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, sayingH559,[H8800]
[14]At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971[H8762] every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376[H8735] unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647[H8804] thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971[H8765] freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085[H8804] not unto me, neither inclinedH5186[H8689] their earH241.
[15]And ye were nowH3117 turnedH7725[H8799], and had doneH6213[H8799] rightH3477 in my sightH5869, in proclaimingH7121[H8800] libertyH1865 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453; and ye had madeH3772[H8799] a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 me in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121[H8738] by my nameH8034:
[16]But ye turnedH7725[H8799] and pollutedH2490[H8762] my nameH8034, and caused every manH376 his servantH5650, and every manH376 his handmaidH8198, whom ye had setH7971[H8765] at libertyH2670 at their pleasureH5315, to returnH7725[H8686], and brought them into subjectionH3533[H8799], to be unto you for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
[17]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Ye have not hearkenedH8085[H8804] unto me, in proclaimingH7121[H8800] libertyH1865, every oneH376 to his brotherH251, and every manH376 to his neighbourH7453: behold, I proclaimH7121[H8802] a libertyH1865 for you, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, to the swordH2719, to the pestilenceH1698, and to the famineH7458; and I will makeH5414[H8804] you to be removedH2189[H8675][H2113] into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776.
[18]And I will giveH5414[H8804] the menH582 that have transgressedH5674[H8802] my covenantH1285, which have not performedH6965[H8689] the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which they had madeH3772[H8804] beforeH6440 me, when they cutH3772[H8804] the calfH5695 in twainH8147, and passedH5674[H8799] between the parts thereofH1335,
[19]The princesH8269 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JerusalemH3389, the eunuchsH5631, and the priestsH3548, and all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, which passedH5674[H8802] between the partsH1335 of the calfH5695;
[20]I will even giveH5414[H8804] them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341[H8802], and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245[H8764] their lifeH5315: and their dead bodiesH5038 shall be for meatH3978 unto the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
[21]And ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and his princesH8269 will I giveH5414[H8799] into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341[H8802], and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245[H8764] their lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428, which are gone upH5927 from youH8802.
[22]Behold, I will commandH6680[H8764], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and cause them to returnH7725[H8689] to this cityH5892; and they shall fightH3898[H8738] against it, and takeH3920[H8804] it, and burnH8313[H8804] it with fireH784: and I will makeH5414[H8799] the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 a desolationH8077 without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802]
