JER-32:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the
tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth
year of Nebuchadrezzar.
JER-32:2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem:
and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,
which [was] in the king of Judah's house.
JER-32:3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying,
Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD,
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and he shall take it;
JER-32:4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the
hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to
mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
JER-32:5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall
he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with
the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
JER-32:6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
JER-32:7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall
come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that [is] in Anathoth:
for the right of redemption [is] thine to buy [it].
JER-32:8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of
the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me,
Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in
the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine,
and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I
knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.
JER-32:9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that
[was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen
shekels of silver.
JER-32:10 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed [it], and
took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.
JER-32:11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that
which was sealed [according] to the law and custom, and that
which was open:
JER-32:12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch
the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel
mine uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that
subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that
sat in the court of the prison.
JER-32:13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
JER-32:14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take
these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is
sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an
earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
JER-32:15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this
land.
JER-32:16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase
unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
JER-32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the
earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is
nothing too hard for thee:
JER-32:18 Thou showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and
recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their
children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of
hosts, [is] his name,
JER-32:19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes
[are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every
one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his
doings:
JER-32:20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
[even] unto this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and
hast made thee a name, as at this day;
JER-32:21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the
land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong
hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
JER-32:22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear
to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and
honey;
JER-32:23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed
not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing
of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast
caused all this evil to come upon them:
JER-32:24 Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take
it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that
fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and
of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass;
and, behold, thou seest [it].
JER-32:25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the
field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into
the hand of the Chaldeans.
JER-32:26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
JER-32:27 Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is
there any thing too hard for me?
JER-32:28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give
this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
JER-32:29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall
come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses,
upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured
out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
JER-32:30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children
of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their
hands, saith the LORD.
JER-32:31 For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of
mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even
unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
JER-32:32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and
of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to
anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and
their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem.
JER-32:33 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the
face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching [them],
yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
JER-32:34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is
called by my name, to defile it.
JER-32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in
the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I
commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they
should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
JER-32:36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of
Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be
delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and
by the famine, and by the pestilence;
JER-32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries,
whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in
great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I
will cause them to dwell safely:
JER-32:38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
JER-32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they
