from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Babylon <0894 Babel > :

: 21 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , the God <0430 >elohiym > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121

which prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you in my

<5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar

q@lalah > by all <3605 kol > the captivity <1546 galuwth > of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > which <0834 >aher > [ are ] in Babylon

like Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > , whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428

melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > roasted <7033 qalah > in the

fire <0784 >esh > ;

: 23 Because they have committed <6213 <asah > villany <5039

n@balah > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and have committed <6213

<asah > adultery <5003 na>aph > with their neighbours <7453 rea<

<8267 sheqer > words <1697 dabar > in my name <8034 shem > ,

which <0834 >aher > I have not commanded <6680 tsavah > them ;

even I know <3045 yada< > , and [ am ] a witness <5707 <ed > ,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 24 . [ Thus ] shalt thou also speak <0559 >amar > to

Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 Nechelamiy > ,

saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 25 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , the God <0430 >elohiym > of

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , saying <0559 >amar > , Because thou

hast sent <7971 shalach > letters <5612 cepher > in thy name

<8034 shem > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that [

are ] at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and to Zephaniah

<6846 Ts@phanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641

Ma<aseyah > the priest <3548 kohen > , and to all <3605 kol >

the priests <3548 kohen > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 26 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made <5414 nathan > thee

priest <3548 kohen > in the stead <8478 tachath > of Jehoiada

<3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen > , that ye should be

officers <6496 paqiyd > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , for every man <0376 >iysh > [ that is ] mad

<7696 shaga< > , and maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba> > ,

that thou shouldest put <5414 nathan > him in prison <4115

mahpeketh > , and in the stocks <6729 tsiynoq > .

: 27 Now <6258 <attah > therefore why <4100 mah > hast thou not

reproved <1605 ga<ar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > of Anathoth

<6068 <Anathowth > , which maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba>

: 28 For therefore he sent <7971 shalach > unto us [ in ]

Babylon <0894 Babel > , saying <0559 >amar > , This <1931 huw>

houses <1004 bayith > , and dwell <3427 yashab > [ in them ] ;

and plant <5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah > , and eat

<0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them .

: 29 And Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the priest <3548 kohen >

read <7121 qara> > this letter <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241

: 30 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , saying <0559

: 31 Send <7971 shalach > to all <3605 kol > them of the

captivity <1473 gowlah > , saying <0559 >amar > , Thus <3541

<0413 >el > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161

Nechelamiy > ; Because that Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > hath

prophesied <5012 naba> > unto you , and I sent <7971 shalach >

him not , and he caused you to trust <0982 batach > in a lie

<8267 sheqer > :

: 32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; Behold <2005 hen > , I will punish

<6485 paqad > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161

Nechelamiy > , and his seed <2233 zera< > : he shall not have

<1961 hayah > a man <0376 >iysh > to dwell <3427 yashab > among

<8432 tavek > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > ; neither

<3808 lo> > shall he behold <7200 ra>ah > the good <2896 towb >

that I will do <6213 <asah > for my people <5971 <am > , saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; because <3588 kiy > he

hath taught <1696 dabar > rebellion <5627 carah > against <5921

<al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: Jeremiah 30

: 1 . The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,

saying <0559 >amar > , Write <3789 kathab > thee all <3605 kol

thee in a book <5612 cepher > .

: 3 For , lo <2009 hinneh > , the days <3117 yowm > come

<0935 bow> > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

that I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the

captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478

Yisra>el > and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , saith <0559 >amar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : and I will cause them to return <7725

shuwb > to the land <0776 >erets > that I gave <5414 nathan > to

their fathers <1> , and they shall possess <3423 yarash > it .

: 4 And these <0428 >el - leh > [ are ] the words <1697 dabar

<0413 >el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and concerning <0413 >el >

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > .

: 5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ; We have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl >

of trembling <2731 charadah > , of fear <6343 pachad > , and

not of peace <7965 shalowm > .

: 6 Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> > , and see <7200

ra>ah > whether <0518 >im > a man <2145 zakar > doth travail

<3205 yalad > with child <3205 yalad > ? wherefore <4069

madduwa< > do I see <7200 ra>ah > every <3605 kol > man <1397

geber > with his hands <3027 yad > on <5921 <al > his loins

all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym > are turned <2015 haphak >

into paleness <3420 yeraqown > ?

: 7 Alas <1945 howy > ! for that day <3117 yowm > [ is ]

great <1419 gadowl > , so that none <0369 >ayin > [ is ] like

<3644 k@mow > it : it [ is ] even the time <6256 <eth > of

Jacob s <3290 Ya<aqob > trouble <6869 tsarah > ; but he shall

be saved <3467 yasha< > out of it .

: 8 For it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117

yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts

<6635 tsaba> > , [ that ] I will break <7665 shabar > his

yoke <5923 <ol > from off <5921 <al > thy neck <6677 tsavva>r > ,

and will burst <5423 nathaq > thy bonds <4147 mowcer > , and

strangers <2114 zuwr > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >

serve <5647 <abad > themselves of him :

: 9 But they shall serve <5647 <abad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

their God <0430 >elohiym > , and David <1732 David > their king

<4428 melek > , whom <0834 >aher > I will raise <6965 quwm > up

unto them .

: 10 . Therefore fear <3372 yare> > thou not , O my servant

<5650 <ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; neither <0408 >al > be dismayed <2865

chathath > , O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : for , lo <2009 hinneh

and thy seed <2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of

their captivity <7628 sh@biy > ; and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >

shall return <7725 shuwb > , and shall be in rest <8252 shaqat

make [ him ] afraid <2729 charad > .

: 11 For I [ am ] with thee , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , to save <3467 yasha< > thee : though <3588

kiy > I make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > of all <3605

end <3615 kalah > of thee : but I will correct <3256 yacar >

thee in measure <4941 mishpat > , and will not leave thee

altogether unpunished <5352 naqah > .

: 12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , Thy bruise <7667 sheber > [ is ] incurable <0605

<2470 chalah > .

: 13 [ There is ] none <0369 >ayin > to plead <1777 diyn >

thy cause <1779 diyn > , that thou mayest be bound <4205 mazowr

medicines <7499 r@phu>ah > .

: 14 All <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > have forgotten

<7911 shakach > thee ; they seek <1875 darash > thee not ; for

I have wounded <5221 nakah > thee with the wound <4347 makkah >

of an enemy <0341 >oyeb > , with the chastisement <4148 muwcar

<2403 chatta>ah > were increased <6105 <atsam > .

: 15 Why <4100 mah > criest <2199 za<aq > thou for thine

affliction <7667 sheber > ? thy sorrow <4341 mak>ob > [ is ]

incurable <0605 >anash > for the multitude <7230 rob > of thine

iniquity <5771 <avon > : [ because ] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah

these <0428 >el - leh > things unto thee .

: 16 Therefore <3651 ken > all <3605 kol > they that devour

<0398 >akal > thee shall be devoured <0398 >akal > ; and all

<3605 kol > thine adversaries <6862 tsar > , every <3605 kol >

spoil <4933 m@chiccah > , and all <3605 kol > that prey <0962

bazaz > upon thee will I give <5414 nathan > for a prey <7998

: 17 For I will restore <5927 <alah > health <0724 >aruwkah >

unto thee , and I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee of thy wounds

<4347 makkah > , saith the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; because

<3588 kiy > they called <7121 qara> > thee an Outcast <5080

nadach > , [ saying ] , This <1931 huw> > [ is ] Zion

<6726 Tsiyown > , whom no <0369 >ayin > man seeketh <1875

Y@hovah > ; Behold <2005 hen > , I will bring <7725 shuwb >

again <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Jacob s

racham > on his dwellingplaces <4908 mishkan > ; and the city

yashab > after <5921 <al > the manner <4941 mishpat > thereof .

: 19 And out of them shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > thanksgiving

merry <7832 sachaq > : and I will multiply <7235 rabah > them ,

<3513 kabad > them , and they shall not be small <6819 tsa<ar >

<6924 qedem > , andtheir congregation <5712 <edah > shall be

established <3559 kuwn > before <6440 paniym > me , and I will

punish <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > that oppress <3905 lachats

: 21 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > shall be of themselves ,

and their governor <4910 mashal > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> >

from the midst <7130 qereb > of them ; and I will cause him to

draw near <7126 qarab > , and he shall approach <5066 nagash >

unto me : for who <4310 miy > [ is ] this that engaged <6148

<arab > his heart <3820 leb > to approach <5066 nagash > unto me

? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

your God <0430 >elohiym > .

of the sword <2719 chereb > found <4672 matsa> > grace <2580

<3478 Yisra>el > , when I went <1980 halak > to cause him to

rest <7280 raga< > .

: 3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath appeared <7200 ra>ah > of old

<7350 rachowq > unto me , [ saying ] , Yea , I have loved

: 4 Again <5750 <owd > I will build <1129 banah > thee , and

thou shalt be built <1129 banah > , O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : thou shalt again <5750 <owd > be

<5158 nachal > of waters <4325 mayim > in a straight <3474

Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , and ransomed <1350 ga>al > him from the

hand <3027 yad > of [ him that was ] stronger <2388 chazaq >

Delaiah <1806 D@layah > and Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > had made

would not burn <8313 saraph > the roll <4039 m@gillah > : but he

Jerahmeel <3396 Y@rachm@>el > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech

again <7725 shuwb > , and fight <3898 lacham > against <5921

saying <0559 >amar > , The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall

<1980 halak > .

: 10 For though <0518 >im > ye had smitten <5221 nakah > the

whole <3605 kol > army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778

<alah > up from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > for fear <6440

: 13 And when he was in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin

<1144 Binyamiyn > , a captain <1167 ba<al > of the ward <6488

p@qiduth > [ was ] there <8033 sham > , whose name <8034 shem

Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

Thou fallest <5307 naphal > away to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >

: 14 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , [ It

is ] false <8267 sheqer > ; I fall <5307 naphal > not away to

the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > . But he hearkened <8085 shama< >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , and brought <0935 bow> > him to the

princes <8269 sar > .

: 15 Wherefore the princes <8269 sar > were wroth <7107 qatsaph

and put <5414 nathan > him in prison <0612 >ecuwr > in the

house <1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe

<5608 caphar > : for they had made <6213 <asah > that the prison

<3608 kele> > .

: 16 When <3588 kiy > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > was entered

<0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr > , and

into <0413 >el > the cabins <2588 chanuwth > , and Jeremiah

<3414 Yirm@yah > had remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >

many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > ;

: 17 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek >

sent <7971 shalach > , and took <3947 laqach > him out : and

the king <4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > him secretly <5643

cether > in his house <1004 bayith > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

Is there [ any ] word <1697 dabar > from the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ? And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > ,

There is : for , said <0559 >amar > he , thou shalt be

delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king

<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > .

: 18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > , What <4100 mah

servants <5650 <ebed > , or against this <2088 zeh > people

<5971 <am > , that ye have put <5414 nathan > me in prison ?

: 19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] now your prophets <5030

nor against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > ?

: 20 Therefore hear <8085 shama< > now <6254 <Asht@rathiy > ,

I pray <4994 na> > thee , O my lord <0113 >adown > the king

<4428 melek > : let my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > , I pray

<4994 na> > thee , be accepted <5307 naphal > before <6440

to the house <1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the

scribe <5608 caphar > , lest <3808 lo> > I die <4191 muwth >

there <8033 sham > .

: 21 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek >

commanded <6680 tsavah > that they should commit <6458 pacal >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > into the court <2691 chatser > of the

prison <4307 mattara> > , and that they should give <5414

nathan > him daily <3117 yowm > a piece <3603 kikkar > of bread

Thus Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > remained <3427 yashab > in the

court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> > .

: Jeremiah 38

: 1 . Then Shephatiah <8203 Sh@phatyah > the son <1121 ben >

son <1121 ben > of Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > , and Jucal <3116

and Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Malchiah

<4441 Malkiyah > , heard <8085 shama< > the words <1697 dabar >

that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > had spoken <1696 dabar > unto all

to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall live <2421 chayah > ; for

he shall have his life <5315 nephesh > for a prey <7998 shalal >

, and shall live <2425 chayay > .

: 3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

take <3920 lakad > it .

: 4 Therefore the princes <8269 sar > said <0559 >amar > unto

the king <4428 melek > , We beseech <4994 na> > thee , let

this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > be put to death <4191 muwth >

: for thus he weakeneth <7503 raphah > the hands <3027 yad > of

the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > that remain

<7604 sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > , and

the hands <3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > ,

in speaking <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el - leh > words <1697

seeketh <1875 darash > not the welfare <7965 shalowm > of this

<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > , but the hurt <7451 ra< > .

: 5 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said

<0559 >amar > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , he [ is ] in your

hand <3027 yad > : for the king <4428 melek > [ is ] not [ he

that ] can <3201 yakol > do [ any ] thing <1697 dabar >

: 6 Then took <3947 laqach > they Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > ,

and cast <7933 sheken > him into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953

bowr > of Malchiah <4441 Malkiyah > the son <1121 ben > of

Hammelech <4429 Melek > , that [ was ] in the court <2691

saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 9 My lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , these

<0428 >el - leh > men <0582 >enowsh > have done evil <7489 ra<a<

: 10 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >

Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy > ,

saying <0559 >amar > , Take <3947 laqach > from hence <2088 zeh

: 11 So Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > took <3947 laqach > the

men <0582 >enowsh > with him , and went <0935 bow> > into the

house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > under the

: 12 And Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569

Kuwshiy > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > ,

Put <7760 suwm > now <4994 na> > [ these ] old <1094 b@low> >

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken > .

: 13 So they drew <4900 mashak > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >

remained <3427 yashab > in the court <2691 chatser > of the

prison <4307 mattara> > .

: 14 . Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek >

sent <7971 shalach > , and took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto him into <0413 >el >

the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > , I will ask <7592 sha>al > thee a thing <1697 dabar

: 15 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > , If <0518 >im > I declare <5046

death <4191 muwth > ? and if <0518 >im > I give thee counsel

<3289 ya<ats > , wilt thou not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ?

: 16 So Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sware

<7650 shaba< > secretly <5643 cether > unto Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah > , saying <0559 >amar > , [ As ] the LORD <3068

: 19 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said

<0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , I am afraid

<1672 da>ag > of the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that are fallen <5307

they deliver <5414 nathan > me into their hand <3027 yad > ,

and they mock <5953 <alal > me .

: 20 But Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > , They

shall not deliver <5414 nathan > [ thee ] . Obey <8085 shama<

thy soul <5315 nephesh > shall live <2421 chayah > .

: 21 But if thou refuse <3986 ma>en > to go <3318 yatsa> >

weep <1058 bakah > for thee with the weeping <1065 B@kiy > of

Jazer <3270 Ya<azeyr > : thy plants <5189 n@tiyshah > are gone

taken <0622 >acaph > from the plentiful <3759 karmel > field ,

from [ being ] a people <5971 <am > , because he hath

magnified <1431 gadal > [ himself ] against <5921 <al > the

[ Is ] wisdom <2451 chokmah > no <0369 >ayin > more <5750

: 10 But I have made Esau <6215 <Esav > bare <2834 chasaph > ,

I have uncovered <1540 galah > his secret <4565 mictar > places ,

and he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to hide <2247 chabah >

Surely I will fill <4390 male> > thee with men <0120 >adam > ,
