[1]Then ShephatiahH8203 the sonH1121 of MattanH4977, and GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of PashurH6583, and JucalH3116 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, and PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of MalchiahH4441, heardH8085[H8799] the wordsH1697 that JeremiahH3414 had spokenH1696[H8764] unto all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,[H8800] [No book]
[2]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, He that remainethH3427[H8802] in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191[H8799] by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: but he that goeth forthH3318[H8802] to the ChaldeansH3778 shall liveH2421[H8804]; for he shall have his lifeH5315 for a preyH7998, and shall liveH2421[H8799][H8675][H2425].[H8804] [No book]
[3]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, This cityH5892 shall surelyH5414[H8736] be givenH5414[H8735] into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 armyH2428, which shall takeH3920 itH8804. [No book]
[4]Therefore the princesH8269 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428, We beseech thee, let this manH376 be put to deathH4191[H8714]: for thusH3651 he weakenethH7503[H8764] the handsH3027 of the menH582 of warH4421 that remainH7604[H8737] in this cityH5892, and the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971, in speakingH1696[H8763] such wordsH1697 unto them: for this manH376 seekethH1875[H8802] not the welfareH7965 of this peopleH5971, but the hurtH7451. [No book]
[5]Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Behold, he is in your handH3027: for the kingH4428 is not he that canH3201[H8799] do any thing against youH1697. [No book]
[6]Then tookH3947[H8799] they JeremiahH3414, and castH7993[H8686] him into the dungeonH953 of MalchiahH4441 the sonH1121 of HammelechH4428, that was in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307: and they let downH7971[H8762] JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256. And in the dungeonH953 there was no waterH4325, but mireH2916: so JeremiahH3414 sunkH2883[H8799] in the mireH2916. [No book]
[7]Now when EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, oneH376 of the eunuchsH5631 which was in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, heardH8085[H8799] that they had putH5414[H8804] JeremiahH3414 in the dungeonH953; the kingH4428 then sittingH3427[H8802] in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144; [No book]
[8]EbedmelechH5663 went forthH3318[H8799] out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and spakeH1696[H8762] to the kingH4428, sayingH559,[H8800] [No book]
[9]My lordH113 the kingH4428, these menH582 have done evilH7489[H8689] in all that they have doneH6213[H8804] to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, whom they have castH7993[H8689] into the dungeonH953; and he is like to dieH4191[H8799] forH6440 hungerH7458 in the placeH8478 where he is: for there is no more breadH3899 in the cityH5892. [No book]
[10]Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680[H8762] EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559[H8800], TakeH3947[H8798] from hence thirtyH7970 menH582 with theeH3027, and take upH5927[H8689] JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 out of the dungeonH953, before he dieH4191.[H8799] [No book]
[11]So EbedmelechH5663 tookH3947[H8799] the menH582 with himH3027, and wentH935[H8799] into the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 under the treasuryH214, and tookH3947[H8799] thence oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and oldH1094 rotten ragsH4418, and let them downH7971[H8762] by cordsH2256 into the dungeonH953 to JeremiahH3414. [No book]
[12]And EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569 saidH559[H8799] unto JeremiahH3414, PutH7760[H8798] now these oldH1094 cast cloutsH5499 and rotten ragsH4418 under thine armholesH679[H3027] under the cordsH2256. And JeremiahH3414 didH6213 soH8799. [No book]
[13]So they drew upH4900[H8799] JeremiahH3414 with cordsH2256, and took him upH5927[H8686] out of the dungeonH953: and JeremiahH3414 remainedH3427[H8799] in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307. [No book]
[14]Then ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971[H8799], and tookH3947[H8799] JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 unto him into the thirdH7992 entryH3996 that is in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto JeremiahH3414, I will askH7592[H8802] thee a thingH1697; hideH3582 nothing from meH8762. [No book]
[15]Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559[H8799] unto ZedekiahH6667, If I declareH5046[H8686] it unto thee, wilt thou not surelyH4191[H8687] put me to deathH4191[H8686]? and if I give thee counselH3289[H8799], wilt thou not hearkenH8085 unto meH8799? [No book]
[16]So ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 swareH7650[H8735] secretlyH5643 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559[H8800], As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that madeH6213[H8804] us this soulH5315, I will not put thee to deathH4191[H8686], neither will I giveH5414[H8799] thee into the handH3027 of these menH582 that seekH1245[H8764] thy lifeH5315. [No book]
[17]Then saidH559[H8799] JeremiahH3414 unto ZedekiahH6667, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; If thou wilt assuredlyH3318[H8800] go forthH3318[H8799] unto the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421[H8804], and this cityH5892 shall not be burnedH8313[H8735] with fireH784; and thou shalt liveH2421[H8804], and thine houseH1004: [No book]
[18]But if thou wilt not go forthH3318[H8799] to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then shall this cityH5892 be givenH5414[H8738] into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they shall burnH8313[H8804] it with fireH784, and thou shalt not escape outH4422[H8735] of their handH3027. [No book]
[19]And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto JeremiahH3414, I am afraidH1672[H8802] of the JewsH3064 that are fallenH5307[H8804] to the ChaldeansH3778, lest they deliverH5414[H8799] me into their handH3027, and they mockH5953 meH8694. [No book]
[20]But JeremiahH3414 saidH559[H8799], They shall not deliverH5414[H8799] thee. ObeyH8085[H8798], I beseech thee, the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, which I speakH1696[H8802] unto thee: so it shall be wellH3190[H8799] unto thee, and thy soulH5315 shall liveH2421.[H8799] [No book]
[21]But if thou refuseH3986 to go forthH3318[H8800], this is the wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath shewedH7200 meH8689: [No book]
[22]And, behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604[H8738] in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004 shall be brought forthH3318[H8716] to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, and those women shall sayH559[H8802], Thy friendsH582[H7965] have set thee onH5496[H8689], and have prevailedH3201[H8804] against thee: thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883[H8717] in the mireH1206, and they are turned awayH5472[H8738] backH268. [No book]
[23]So they shall bring outH3318[H8688] all thy wivesH802 and thy childrenH1121 to the ChaldeansH3778: and thou shalt not escape outH4422[H8735] of their handH3027, but shalt be takenH8610[H8735] by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894: and thou shalt cause this cityH5892 to be burnedH8313[H8799] with fireH784. [No book]
[24]Then saidH559[H8799] ZedekiahH6667 unto JeremiahH3414, Let no manH376 knowH3045[H8799] of these wordsH1697, and thou shalt not dieH4191.[H8799] [No book]
[25]But if the princesH8269 hearH8085[H8799] that I have talkedH1696[H8765] with thee, and they comeH935[H8804] unto thee, and sayH559[H8804] unto thee, DeclareH5046[H8685] unto us now what thou hast saidH1696[H8765] unto the kingH4428, hideH3582[H8762] it not from us, and we will not put thee to deathH4191[H8686]; also what the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto theeH8765: [No book]
[26]Then thou shalt sayH559[H8804] unto them, I presentedH5307[H8688] my supplicationH8467 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, that he would not cause me to returnH7725[H8687] to Jonathan'sH3083 houseH1004, to dieH4191 thereH8800. [No book]
[27]Then cameH935[H8799] all the princesH8269 unto JeremiahH3414, and askedH7592[H8799] him: and he toldH5046[H8686] them according to all these wordsH1697 that the kingH4428 had commandedH6680[H8765]. So they left off speakingH2790[H8686] with him; for the matterH1697 was not perceivedH8085.[H8738] [No book]
[28]So JeremiahH3414 abodeH3427[H8799] in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307 until the dayH3117 that JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920[H8738]: and he was there when JerusalemH3389 was takenH3920.[H8738] [No book]
