| [1]The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 against the GentilesH1471; |
[1]Heare folowe the wordes of the Lorde to the prophete Ieremie, which he spake against [all] the gentiles |
| [2]Against EgyptH4714, against the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, which NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221[H8689] in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. |
[2]These wordes folowing preached he in the Egyptians, concerning the hoast of Pharao Necho kyng of Egypt, when he was in Charchamis beside the water of Euphrates, what tyme as Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon slue hym, in the fourth yere of Iehoakim the sonne of Iosias kyng of Iuda |
| [3]OrderH6186[H8798] ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH6793, and draw nearH5066[H8798] to battleH4421. |
[3]Make redy buckler and shielde, and go foorth to fight |
| [4]HarnessH631[H8798] the horsesH5483; and get upH5927[H8798], ye horsemenH6571, and stand forthH3320[H8690] with your helmetsH3553; furbishH4838[H8798] the spearsH7420, and put onH3847[H8798] the brigandinesH5630. |
[4]Harnesse your horses, and set your selues vpon them, set your sallets fast on, bryng foorth speares, scoure your swordes, and put on your brestplates |
| [5]Wherefore have I seenH7200[H8804] them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472[H8737] away backH268? and their mighty onesH1368 are beaten downH3807[H8714], and are fledH5127[H8804] apaceH4498, and look not backH6437[H8689]: for fearH4032 was round aboutH5439, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[5]But alas, howe happeneth it that I see you so afraide? why shrinke ye backe? Their worthyes are slayne, yea they runne so fast away that none of them looketh behinde hym: fearefulnesse is fallen vpon euery one of them saith the Lorde |
| [6]Let not the swiftH7031 flee awayH5127[H8799], nor the mighty manH1368 escapeH4422[H8735]; they shall stumbleH3782[H8804], and fallH5307[H8804] toward the northH6828 byH3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. |
[6]The lightest of foote shall not flee away, and the worthyes shal not escape: towarde the north by the water of Euphrates they dyd stumble and fall |
| [7]Who is this that cometh upH5927[H8799] as a floodH2975, whose watersH4325 are movedH1607[H8691] as the riversH5104? |
[7]But what is he this that swelleth vp as it were a fludde, roaring and raging lyke the streames of water |
| [8]EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927[H8799] like a floodH2975, and his watersH4325 are movedH1607[H8704] like the riversH5104; and he saithH559[H8799], I will go upH5927[H8799], and will coverH3680[H8762] the earthH776; I will destroyH6[H8686] the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereofH8802. |
[8]It is Egypt that ryseth vp lyke the fludde, and casteth out the waters with so great noyse: And he saide, I wyll go vp and wyll couer the earth, I wyll destroy the citie with them that are therin |
| [9]Come upH5927[H8798], ye horsesH5483; and rageH1984[H8703], ye chariotsH7393; and let the mighty menH1368 come forthH3318[H8799]; the EthiopiansH3568 and the LibyansH6316, that handleH8610[H8802] the shieldH4043; and the LydiansH3866, that handleH8610[H8802] and bendH1869[H8802] the bowH7198. |
[9]Get you vp ye horses, roule foorth ye charets, come foorth worthyes, ye Ethiopians, ye Libyans with your bucklers, ye Lydians with your bowes |
| [10]For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358[H8736] him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398[H8804], and it shall be satiateH7646[H8804] and made drunkH7301[H8804] with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. |
[10]But this day of the Lorde God of hoastes, is a day of vengeaunce, that he may auenge him of his enemies: The sworde shall deuour, it shalbe satisfied and bathed in their blood, for the Lord God of hoastes shall haue a slayne offering towarde the north, by the water of Euphrates |
| [11]Go upH5927[H8798] into GileadH1568, and takeH3947[H8798] balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235[H8689] medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. |
[11]Go vp vnto Gilead, and bryng triacle O virgin thou daughter of Egypt: but in vayne shalt thou go to surgerie, for thy wounde shall not be stopped |
| [12]The nationsH1471 have heardH8085[H8804] of thy shameH7036, and thy cryH6682 hath filledH4390[H8804] the landH776: for the mighty manH1368 hath stumbledH3782[H8804] against the mightyH1368, and they are fallenH5307[H8804] bothH8147 togetherH3162. |
[12]The heathen haue hearde of thy shame, and the lande is full of thy confusion, for one strong man did stumble vpon another, and they are fallen both together |
| [13]The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8765] to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935[H8800] and smiteH5221[H8687] the landH776 of EgyptH4714. |
[13]These are the wordes that the Lord spake to the prophete Ieremie, concerning the comming of Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon, whiche was sent to destroy the lande of Egypt |
| [14]DeclareH5046[H8685] ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085[H8685] in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085[H8685] in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559[H8798] ye, Stand fastH3320[H8690], and prepareH3559[H8685] thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398[H8804] round about theeH5439. |
[14]Preache out thorowe the lande of Egypt, and cause it to be proclaymed at Migdol, Noph, and Thaphnis, and say: stande styll, make thee redye, for the sworde shall consume thee rounde about |
| [15]Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502[H8738]? they stoodH5975[H8804] not, because the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 themH8804. |
[15]Howe happeneth it that thy mightie worthyes are fallen? why stoode they not fast? euen because the Lorde thrust them downe |
| [16]He made manyH7235[H8689] to fallH3782[H8802], yea, oneH376 fellH5307[H8804] upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559[H8799], AriseH6965[H8798], and let us go againH7725[H8799] to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238[H8802] swordH2719. |
[16]The slaughter was great, for one fell euer still vpon another: and they sayde, Up, let vs go agayne to our owne people, and to our owne naturall countrey, from the cruel sworde |
| [17]They did cryH7121[H8804] there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674[H8689] the time appointedH4150. |
[17]They dyd crye euen there, Pharao the kyng of Egypt is a kyng of troublesomnesse: he hath ouerpast the appointed tyme |
| [18]As I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.[H8799] |
[18]As I liue (saith the kyng whose name is the Lorde of hoastes) so surely as Thabor standeth among the mountaynes, and Charmel in the sea: euen so assuredly shall this mischiefe come [vppon Egypt. |
| [19]O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427[H8802] in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213[H8798] thyself to go into captivityH3627[H1473]: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341[H8738] without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |
[19]O thou daughter of Egypt, make redye thy geare to flit: for Noph shalbe voyde and desolate, so that no man shal dwell therein |
| [20]EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935[H8804]; it cometh outH935[H8804] of the northH6828. |
[20]The lande of Egypt is lyke a goodly faire calfe: but destruction shall come out of the north [I say] it commeth |
| [21]Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437[H8689], and are fled awayH5127[H8804] togetherH3162: they did not standH5975[H8804], because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935[H8804] upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486. |
[21]Her waged souldiers that be with her are lyke fat calues, they also shall flee away together and not abyde: for the day of their slaughter, and the tyme of their visitation shall come vpon them |
| [22]The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212[H8799] like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212[H8799] with an armyH2428, and comeH935[H8804] against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404[H8802] of woodH6086. |
[22]The crye of them shall make a noyse as the hissing of serpentes: for they shall enter in with their hoastes, and come against her with axes, as it were hewers downe of wood |
| [23]They shall cut downH3772[H8804] her forestH3293, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713[H8735]; because they are moreH7231[H8804] than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH369.[H4557] |
[23]And they shall cut downe her wood saith the Lorde, they shalbe innumerable: for they shalbe mo in number then the grashoppers, so that no man shalbe able to tell them |
| [24]The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001[H8689]; she shall be deliveredH5414[H8738] into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828. |
[24]The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and deliuered into the handes of the people of the north |
| [25]The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559[H8804]; Behold, I will punishH6485[H8802] the multitudeH527[H8676][H528] of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in himH8802: |
[25]Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes the God of Israel: Beholde, I wyll visite that restlesse people of Alexandria, Pharao, & Egypt, yea both their gods and their kinges, euen Pharoa and all them that put their trust in hym |
| [26]And I will deliverH5414[H8804] them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245[H8764] their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931[H8799], as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[26]Yea I wyl deliuer them into the handes of those that seeke after their liues, [namely] into the power of Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon, and into the power of his seruauntes: and after all these thinges, it shalbe inhabited as aforetyme, saith the Lorde |
| [27]But fearH3372[H8799] not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865[H8735], O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467[H8688] thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725[H8804], and be in restH8252[H8804] and at easeH7599[H8768], and none shall make him afraidH2729.[H8688] |
[27]Be not thou afraide O my seruaunt Iacob, feare not thou O Israel: for lo, I wyll helpe thee from farre, and thy seede from the lande of their captiuitie: Iacob also shall come againe and be in rest, he shall prosper, and no man shall do hym harme |
| [28]FearH3372[H8799] thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213[H8799] a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080[H8689] thee: but I will not makeH6213[H8799] a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256[H8765] thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352[H8763] unpunishedH5352.[H8762] |
[28]Feare thou not (O Iacob my seruaunt) saith the Lorde, for I am with thee, and wyll destroy all nations among whom I haue scattered thee: neuerthelesse I wyll not consume thee, but chasten thee and correct thee, yea and that with discretion, neither wyll I vtterly destroy thee |
