JER-34: 17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened

unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and

every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you,

saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the

famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms

of the earth. <all> <behold> <brother> <earth> <every> <famine>

JER-34: 18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my

covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant

which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain,

and passed between the parts thereof. <before> <between> <calf>

JER-34: 19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem,

the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land,

which passed between the parts of the calf; <all> <between>

JER-34: 20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies,

and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead

bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to

the beasts of the earth. <beasts> <bodies> <dead> <earth>

JER-34: 21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I

give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them

that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's

army, which are gone up from you. <are> <army> <enemies> <give>

JER-34: 22 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause

them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it,

and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities

of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant. <against> <behold>

JER-35: 1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the

days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

JER-35: 2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto

them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the

chambers, and give them wine to drink. <bring> <chambers>

JER-35: 3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of

Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole

house of the Rechabites; <all> <brethren> <habaziniah> <house>

<whole>

JER-35: 4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into

the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of

God, which [was] by the chamber of the princes, which [was]

above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of

the door: <brought> <chamber> <door> <god> <hanan> <house>

JER-35: 5 And I set before the sons of the house of the

Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them,

Drink ye wine. <before> <cups> <drink> <full> <house> <pots>

JER-35: 6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the

son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no

wine, [neither ye] , nor your sons for ever: <commanded> <drink>

JER-35: 7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant

vineyard, nor have [any] : but all your days ye shall dwell in

tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye [be]

strangers. <all> <any> <build> <days> <dwell> <have> <house>

JER-35: 8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of

Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no

wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

JER-35: 9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have

we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: <build> <dwell> <field> <have>

JER-35: 10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done

according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. <all>

<tents>

JER-35: 11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of

Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go

to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear

of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem. <army>

JER-35: 12 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

JER-35: 13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go

and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will

ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the

LORD. <go> <god> <hearken> <hosts> <inhabitants> <instruction>

JER-35: 14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he

commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto

this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment:

notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and

speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. <are> <commanded>

JER-35: 15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the

prophets, rising up early and sending [them] , saying, Return ye

now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go

not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the

land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have

not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. <after> <all>

JER-35: 16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have

performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded

them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me: <because>

<which>

JER-35: 17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God

of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the

inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced

against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not

heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

JER-35: 18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have

obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his

precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:

JER-35: 19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of

Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand

before me for ever. <before> <ever> <god> <hosts> <israel>

JER-36: 1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim

the son of Josiah king of Judah, [that] this word came unto

Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, <came> <fourth> <jehoiakim>

JER-36: 2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the

words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against

Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto

thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day. <against>

JER-36: 3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the

evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every

man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and

their sin. <all> <do> <every> <evil> <forgive> <hear> <house>

JER-36: 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and

Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the

LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. <all>

JER-36: 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I [am] shut up;

I cannot go into the house of the LORD: <baruch> <cannot>

JER-36: 6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou

hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of

the people in the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also

thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of

their cities. <all> <also> <cities> <come> <day> <ears>

JER-36: 7 It may be they will present their supplication before

the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great

[is] the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced

against this people. <against> <anger> <before> <every> <evil>

JER-36: 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that

Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the

words of the LORD in the LORD'S house. <all> <baruch> <book>

JER-36: 9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the

son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they

proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem,

and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto

Jerusalem. <all> <before> <came> <cities> <fast> <fifth>

JER-36: 10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in

the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of

Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new

gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people. <all>

JER-36: 11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan,

had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD, <all>

JER-36: 12 Then he went down into the king's house, into the

scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, [even]

Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and

Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and

Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. <all>

JER-36: 13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that

he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the

people. <all> <baruch> <book> <declared> <ears> <had> <heard>

JER-36: 14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of

Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch,

saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in

the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah

took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. <all> <baruch>

JER-36: 15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in

our ears. So Baruch read [it] in their ears. <baruch> <down>

JER-36: 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the

words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch,

We will surely tell the king of all these words. <afraid> <all>

JER-36: 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst

thou write all these words at his mouth? <all> <asked> <baruch>

<write>

JER-36: 18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these

words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in the

book. <all> <answered> <baruch> <book> <ink> <mouth>

JER-36: 19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee,

thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be. <baruch>

JER-36: 20 And they went in to the king into the court, but they

laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told

all the words in the ears of the king. <all> <chamber> <court>

JER-36: 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he

took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it

in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes

which stood beside the king. <all> <beside> <chamber> <ears>

JER-36: 22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth

month: and [there was a fire] on the hearth burning before him.

JER-36: 23 And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi had read

three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast [it]

into the fire that [was] on the hearth, until all the roll was

consumed in the fire that [was] on the hearth. <all> <came>

JER-36: 24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments,

[neither] the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these

words. <afraid> <all> <any> <garments> <heard> <king> <neither>

JER-36: 25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had

made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll:

but he would not hear them. <burn> <delaiah> <elnathan>

JER-36: 26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech,

and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel,

to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD

hid them. <azriel> <baruch> <commanded> <hammelech> <hid>

JER-36: 27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after

that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch

wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, <after> <baruch>

JER-36: 28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the

former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the

king of Judah hath burned. <again> <all> <another> <burned>

JER-36: 29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus

saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast

thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall

certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease

from thence man and beast? <babylon> <beast> <burned> <cause>

JER-36: 30 Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of

Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and

his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in

the night to the frost. <body> <cast> <david> <day> <dead>

JER-36: 31 And I will punish him and his seed and his servants

for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the

inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the

evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

JER-36: 32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to

Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the

mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king

of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides

unto them many like words. <all> <another> <baruch> <besides>

<wrote>

JER-37: 1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of

Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon

made king in the land of Judah. <babylon> <coniah> <instead>

JER-37: 2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of

the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake

by the prophet Jeremiah. <did> <hearken> <jeremiah> <land>

JER-37: 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of

Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the

prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.

JER-37: 4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people:

for they had not put him into prison. <among> <came> <had> <him>

JER-37: 5 Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and

when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them,

they departed from Jerusalem. <army> <besieged> <chaldeans>

JER-37: 6 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet

Jeremiah, saying, <came> <jeremiah> <lord> <prophet> <saying>

JER-37: 7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye

say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me;

Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall

return to Egypt into their own land. <army> <behold> <come>

<which>

JER-37: 8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against

this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. <again> <against>

<with>

JER-37: 9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying,

The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not

depart. <chaldeans> <deceive> <depart> <lord> <saith> <saying>

JER-37: 10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the

Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained [but]

wounded men among them, [yet] should they rise up every man in

his tent, and burn this city with fire. <against> <among> <army>

JER-37: 11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the

Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's

army, <army> <broken> <came> <chaldeans> <fear> <jerusalem>

JER-37: 12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into

the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of

the people. <benjamin> <forth> <go> <himself> <into> <jeremiah>

<went>

JER-37: 13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of

the ward [was] there, whose name [was] Irijah, the son of

Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet,

saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. <away> <benjamin>

JER-37: 14 Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to

the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took

Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes. <away> <brought>

JER-37: 15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and

smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the

scribe: for they had made that the prison. <had> <him> <house>

JER-37: 16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into

the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; <cabins>

JER-37: 17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and

the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there

[any] word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said

he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

JER-37: 18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have

I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against

this people, that ye have put me in prison? <against> <have>

JER-37: 19 Where [are] now your prophets which prophesied unto

you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor

against this land? <against> <are> <babylon> <come> <king>

JER-37: 20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king:

let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that

thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe,

lest I die there. <before> <cause> <die> <hear> <house>

JER-37: 21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should

commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they

should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street,

until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah

remained in the court of the prison. <all> <bread> <city>

JER-38: 1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the

son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the

son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto

all the people, saying, <all> <gedaliah> <had> <heard>

JER-38: 2 Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city

shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he

shall have his life for a prey, and shall live. <chaldeans>

<thus>

JER-38: 3 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given

into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.

JER-38: 4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech

thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the

hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands

of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this

man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt. <all>

<words>

JER-38: 5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he [is] in your

hand: for the king [is] not [he that] can do [any] thing against

you. <against> <any> <behold> <can> <do> <hand> <king> <said>

JER-38: 6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon

of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that [was] in the court of the

prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the

dungeon [there was] no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the

mire. <cast> <cords> <court> <down> <dungeon> <hammelech> <him>

JER-38: 7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs

which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah

in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

JER-38: 8 Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and

spake to the king, saying, <ebedmelech> <forth> <house> <king>

JER-38: 9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that

they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into

the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where

he is: for [there is] no more bread in the city. <all> <bread>

JER-38: 10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian,

saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up

Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. <before>

JER-38: 11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into

the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old

cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into

the dungeon to Jeremiah. <cast> <clouts> <cords> <down>

JER-38: 12 And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put

now [these] old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes

under the cords. And Jeremiah did so. <armholes> <cast> <clouts>

JER-38: 13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up

out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the

prison. <cords> <court> <drew> <dungeon> <him> <jeremiah>

JER-38: 14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the

prophet unto him into the third entry that [is] in the house of

the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a

thing; hide nothing from me. <ask> <entry> <hide> <him> <house>

JER-38: 15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare [it]

unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give

thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me? <counsel> <death>

JER-38: 16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah,

saying, [As] the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not

put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of

these men that seek thy life. <death> <give> <hand> <into>

JER-38: 17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD,

the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go

forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall

live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou

shalt live, and thine house: <assuredly> <burned> <city> <fire>

JER-38: 18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of

Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand

of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou

shalt not escape out of their hand. <burn> <chaldeans> <city>

JER-38: 19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid

of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver

me into their hand, and they mock me. <afraid> <are> <chaldeans>

JER-38: 20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver [thee] .

Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto

thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

JER-38: 21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this [is] the word

that the LORD hath showed me: <forth> <go> <hath> <lord>

JER-38: 22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king

of Judah's house [shall be] brought forth to the king of

Babylon's princes, and those [women] shall say, Thy friends have

set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk

in the mire, [and] they are turned away back. <against> <all>

JER-38: 23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy

children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of

their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of

Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

<wives>

JER-38: 24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of

these words, and thou shalt not die. <die> <jeremiah> <know>

JER-38: 25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee,

and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now

what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we

will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:

<with>

JER-38: 26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my

supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to

return to Jonathan's house, to die there. <before> <cause> <die>

JER-38: 27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked

him: and he told them according to all these words that the king

had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the

matter was not perceived. <all> <asked> <came> <commanded> <had>

JER-38: 28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until

the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was [there] when

Jerusalem was taken. <court> <day> <jeremiah> <jerusalem>

JER-39: 1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the

tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his

army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. <against> <all>

JER-39: 2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth

month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.

JER-39: 3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in,

and sat in the middle gate, [even] Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo,

Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the

residue of the princes of the king of Babylon. <all> <babylon>

<with>

JER-39: 4 And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah the king of

Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went

forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden,

by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of

the plain. <all> <betwixt> <came> <city> <fled> <forth> <garden>

JER-39: 5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and

overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had

taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon

to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

JER-39: 6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in

Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the

nobles of Judah. <all> <also> <babylon> <before> <eyes> <judah>

JER-39: 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him

with chains, to carry him to Babylon. <babylon> <bound> <carry>

JER-39: 8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the

houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of

Jerusalem. <brake> <burned> <chaldeans> <down> <fire> <house>
