Jeremiah 22:14
Who says, 'I will build myself a wide house and large chambers, and cut him out windows; and [it is] cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.'
Jeremiah 22:15
Will you reign, because you close [yourself] in cedar? Did your father not eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him?

Jeremiah 23:26
How long will [this] be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

Jeremiah 23:35
Thus you will say, everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, 'What has the Lord answered?' And, 'What has the Lord spoken?'
Jeremiah 23:36
And you will no longer mention the burden of the Lord, for every man's word will be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.
Jeremiah 23:37
Thus you will say to the prophet, 'What has the Lord answered you?' And, 'What has the Lord spoken?'
Jeremiah 23:38

Jeremiah 24:1
The Lord showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the Lord, after that, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had carried away Jeconiah captive, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. *Matthew 1:11
Jeremiah 24:2
One basket [had] very good figs, [even] like the figs [that are] first ripe, and the other basket [had] very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Jeremiah 24:3
Then the Lord said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil."
Jeremiah 24:4
Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 24:5
"Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel; 'Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.
Jeremiah 24:6
For I will set My eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land, and I will build them, and not pull [them] down; and I will plant them, and not pluck [them] up.
Jeremiah 24:7
And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I [am] the Lord, and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
Jeremiah 24:8
And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil;' surely the Lord thus says, 'So will I give Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
Jeremiah 24:9
And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.
Jeremiah 24:10
And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.'"
Jeremiah 25:1
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon;
Jeremiah 25:2
Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Jeremiah 25:3
"From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, that [is] the twenty third year, the word of the Lord has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you have not listened.
Jeremiah 25:4
And the Lord has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending [them]; but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
Jeremiah 25:5
They said, 'Turn again now, everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
Jeremiah 25:6
And do not go after other gods to serve them, and to prostrate to them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
Jeremiah 25:7
Yet you have not listened to Me,' the Lord says; 'That you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.'
Jeremiah 25:8
Therefore the Lord thus says of hosts; 'Because you have not heard My words,
Jeremiah 25:9
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,' the Lord says, 'And Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, My servant, *17:5 and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Jeremiah 25:10
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
Jeremiah 25:11
And this whole land will be a desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12
And it will come to pass, when the seventy years are accomplished, *Daniel 9:2 [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation,' the Lord says, 'For their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. *17:6
Jeremiah 25:13
And I will bring upon that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, [even] all that is written in this Book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
Jeremiah 25:14
For many nations and great kings will serve themselves of them also, and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.'
Jeremiah 25:15
For thus the Lord says, God of Israel, to me; 'Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
Jeremiah 25:16
And they will drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.'"
Jeremiah 25:17
Then I took the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the Lord had sent me.
Jeremiah 25:18
[To knowledge], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day;
Jeremiah 25:19
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jeremiah 25:20
And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
Jeremiah 25:21
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
Jeremiah 25:22
And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,
Jeremiah 25:23
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all [who are] in the utmost corners,
Jeremiah 25:24
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people who dwell in the desert,
Jeremiah 25:25
And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
Jeremiah 25:26
And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which [are] upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sheshach will drink after them.
Jeremiah 25:27
"Therefore you will say to them, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Drink and be drunk, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.'
Jeremiah 25:28
And it will be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you will say to them, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says; 'You will certainly drink.
Jeremiah 25:29
For, look, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth,' the Lord of hosts says.
Jeremiah 25:30
Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them, 'The Lord will roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will mightily roar upon His habitation; He will give a shout, ~*37:19, ~*79:13 as those who tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:31
A noise will come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with the nations, He will judge all flesh; He will give those [who are] wicked to the sword,' the Lord says.
Jeremiah 25:32
Thus the Lord of hosts says, 'Behold, evil will go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind will be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:33
And the slain of the Lord will be at that day, from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth, they will not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they will be dung upon the ground.
Jeremiah 25:34
Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the ashes], you principal of the flock, for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and you will fall like a pleasant vessel.
Jeremiah 25:35
And the shepherds will have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Jeremiah 25:36
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, [will be heard], for the Lord has spoiled their pasture.
Jeremiah 25:37
And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
Jeremiah 26:2
"Thus the Lord says; 'Stand in the court of the Lord's House, and speak to all the cities of Judah, who come to prostrate in the Lord's House, all the words that I command you to speak to them; *21:27 do not diminish a word.
Jeremiah 26:3
If [it] so is [that] they will listen, and turn, every man from his evil way, that I may repent Myself of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 26:4
And you will say to them, 'Thus the Lord says; 'If you will not hear Me, to walk in My law, which I have set before you,
Jeremiah 26:5
To hear the words of My servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, both rising up early, and sending [them], but you have not listened;
Jeremiah 26:6
Then I will make this House like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.'"
Jeremiah 26:7
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the House of the Lord.
Jeremiah 26:8
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, "You will surely die.
Jeremiah 26:9
Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, 'This House will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate without an inhabitant?'" And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the House of the Lord.
Jeremiah 26:10
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the House of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's [House].
Jeremiah 26:11
Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, "This man [is] worthy to die; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears."
Jeremiah 26:12
Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, "The Lord sent me to prophesy against this House and against this city all the words that you have heard.
Jeremiah 26:13
Therefore, now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent Himself of the evil that He has pronounced against you.
Jeremiah 26:14
As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand, do with me as seems good and upright to you.
Jeremiah 26:15
But know for certain, that if you put me to death, you will surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof, for of a truth, the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears."
Jeremiah 26:16
Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets; "This man [is] not worthy to die, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God."
Jeremiah 26:17
Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Jeremiah 26:18
"Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says; 'Zion will be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.'
Jeremiah 26:19
Did Hezekiah, king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death at all? Did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord repented Himself of the evil which He had pronounced against them? Thus we might procure great evil against our souls."
Jeremiah 26:20
And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urijah, the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 26:21
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death, but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
Jeremiah 26:22
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into Egypt.
Jeremiah 26:23
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Jeremiah 26:24
Nevertheless, the hand of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremiah 27:1
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 27:2
Thus the Lord says to me; "Make bonds and yokes, and put them upon your neck,
Jeremiah 27:3
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah, king of Judah;
Jeremiah 27:4
And command them to say to their masters, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Thus you will say to your masters;
Jeremiah 27:5
'I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed upright to Me.
Jeremiah 27:6
And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, My servant; *17:5 and I have also given him the beasts of the field to serve him.
Jeremiah 27:7
And all nations will serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land comes, and then many nations and great kings will serve themselves of him.
Jeremiah 27:8
And it will come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish,' the Lord says, 'With the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jeremiah 27:9
Therefore do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You will not serve the king of Babylon.'
Jeremiah 27:10
For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
Jeremiah 27:11
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will let those still remain in their own land,' the Lord says; 'And they will till it, and dwell therein.'"
Jeremiah 27:12
I also spoke to Zedekiah, king of Judah, according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Jeremiah 27:13
Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Jeremiah 27:14
Therefore do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You will not serve the king of Babylon,' for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jeremiah 27:15
'For I have not sent them,' the Lord says, 'Yet they prophesy a lie in My name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"
Jeremiah 27:16
I also spoke to the priests and all this people, saying, "Thus the Lord says; 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, 'Behold, the vessels of the Lord's House will now shortly be brought again from Babylon,' for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jeremiah 27:17
Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live, why should this city be laid waste?
Jeremiah 27:18
But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make intercession to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the House of the Lord, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:19
For the Lord of hosts thus says concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Jeremiah 27:20
'Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take, when he carried away Jeconiah captive, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;' *Matthew 1:11
Jeremiah 27:21
Indeed, the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the House of the Lord, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 27:22
'They will be carried to Babylon, and they will be there until the day that I visit them,' the Lord says; 'Then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"
Jeremiah 28:1
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah, the son of Azur the prophet, who [was] of Gibeon, spoke to me in the House of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jeremiah 28:2
"Thus the Lord of hosts speaks, the God of Israel, saying, 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:3
Within two full years I will bring all the vessels of the Lord's House again into this place, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:4
And I will bring Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, again to this place, with all the captives of Judah, who went into Babylon,' the Lord says, 'For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
Jeremiah 28:5
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the House of the Lord,
Jeremiah 28:6
Even the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen, the Lord, do so, the Lord, perform Your words which You have prophesied, to bring the vessels of the Lord's House again, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Jeremiah 28:7
Nevertheless, now hear this word that I speak in Your ears, and in the ears of all the people;
Jeremiah 28:8
'The prophets who have been before me and before you of old, prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Jeremiah 28:9
The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet will come to pass, [then] the prophet will be known, that the Lord has truly sent him.'"
Jeremiah 28:10
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
Jeremiah 28:11
And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus the Lord says; 'Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.'" And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Jeremiah 28:12
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah [the prophet], after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 28:13
"Go and tell Hananiah, saying, 'Thus the Lord says; 'You have broken the yokes of wood; but you will make yokes of iron for them.'
Jeremiah 28:14
For the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; 'I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they will serve him, and I have given him the beasts of the field also.'"
Jeremiah 28:15
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you make this people trust in a lie.
Jeremiah 28:16
Therefore the Lord thus says; 'Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the earth, this year you will die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.'"
Jeremiah 28:17
So Hananiah the prophet died *Deuteronomy 18:20 the same year in the seventh month.
Jeremiah 29:1
Now these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders who were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:2
(After Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem);
Jeremiah 29:3
By the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah (whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon), saying,
Jeremiah 29:4
"Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel, to all who are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:5
'Build houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
Jeremiah 29:6
Take wives, and father sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that you may be increased there, and not diminished.
Jeremiah 29:7
And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof you will have peace.'"
Jeremiah 29:8
For the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; "Do not let your prophets and your diviners, who [are] in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hear your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
Jeremiah 29:9
For they prophesy falsely to you in My name, I have not sent them," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 29:10
For the Lord thus says, "That after seventy years are accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. *Daniel 9:2
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," the Lord says, "Thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:12
Then you will call upon Me, and you will go and pray to Me, and I will hear you.
Jeremiah 29:13
And you will seek Me, and find [Me], when you will search for Me with all your heart. *Matthew 7:7, *Luke 11:9
Jeremiah 29:14
And I will be found of you," the Lord says, "And I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you," the Lord says; "And I will bring you again into the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive."
Jeremiah 29:15
Because you have said, "The Lord has raised us up prophets in Babylon;"
Jeremiah 29:16
[Know] that the Lord thus says of the king who sits upon the throne of David, and of all the people who dwell in this city, [and] of your brethren who have not gone forth with you into captivity;
Jeremiah 29:17
Thus the Lord of hosts says; "Behold, I will send the sword upon them, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Jeremiah 29:18
And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them.
Jeremiah 29:19
Because they have not listened to My words," the Lord says, "Which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them]; but you would not hear," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 29:20
Hear therefore the word of the Lord, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jeremiah 29:21
Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel, of Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in My name; "Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon; and he will slay them *Deuteronomy 18:20 before your eyes;
Jeremiah 29:22
And a curse of them will be taken up, by all the captivity of Judah who [are] in Babylon, saying, 'The Lord make like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
Jeremiah 29:23
Because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and [am] a Witness," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 29:24
[Thus] you will also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Jeremiah 29:25
"Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jeremiah 29:26
'The Lord has made you priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that you should be officers in the House of the Lord, for every man [who is] mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison, and in the stocks.'
Jeremiah 29:27
Now therefore, why have you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you?
Jeremiah 29:28
For he therefore sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, 'This [captivity is] long, build houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.'"
Jeremiah 29:29
And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah 29:30
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 29:31
"Send to all them of the captivity, saying, 'Thus the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; 'Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I did not send him, and he caused you to trust in a lie.'
Jeremiah 29:32
Therefore the Lord thus says; 'Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed, he will not have a man to dwell among this people; neither will he behold the good that I will do for My people,' the Lord says; 'Because he has taught rebellion against the Lord.'"
Jeremiah 30:1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 30:2
"Thus the Lord God of Israel speaks, saying, 'Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
Jeremiah 30:3
For, look, the days come,' the Lord says, 'That I will bring the captivity of My people Israel and Judah again,' the Lord says, 'And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.'"
Jeremiah 30:4
And these [are] the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Jeremiah 30:5
For thus the Lord says; "We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
Jeremiah 30:6
Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Jeremiah 30:7
Alas! For that day [is] great, so that none [are] like it, it [is] even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
Jeremiah 30:8
For it will come to pass in that day," the Lord of hosts says, "[That] I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds, and strangers will no longer serve themselves of him.
Jeremiah 30:9
But they will serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
Jeremiah 30:10
Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob," the Lord says; "Neither be dismayed, O Israel, for, look, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob will return, and will be in rest, and be quiet, and none will make [him] afraid.
Jeremiah 30:11
For I [am] with you," the Lord says, "To save you, though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will not leave you altogether unpunished."
Jeremiah 30:12
For the Lord thus says, "Your bruise [is] incurable, [and] your wound [is] grievous.
Jeremiah 30:13
[There are] none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up, you have no healing medicines.
Jeremiah 30:14
All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you; for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of your iniquity; [because] your sins have increased.
Jeremiah 30:15
Why cry for your affliction? Your sorrow [is] incurable for the multitude of your iniquity, [because] your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Jeremiah 30:16
Therefore all those who devour you, will be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; and those who spoil you, will be a spoil, and all who prey upon you, I will give for a prey.
Jeremiah 30:17
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," the Lord says; "Because they called you an outcast, [saying], 'This [is] Zion, whom no man seeks after.'"
Jeremiah 30:18
Thus the Lord says; "Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city will be built upon her own heap, and the palace will remain after the manner thereof.

And their nobles will be of themselves, and their governor will proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach Me, for who [is] this who engaged his heart to approach Me?" The Lord says.
Jeremiah 30:22
"And you will be My people, and I will be your God."
Jeremiah 30:23
Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind, it will fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah 30:24
The fierce anger of the Lord will not return, until He has done [it], and until He has performed the intents of His heart, in the latter days you will consider it.
Jeremiah 31:1
"At the same time," the Lord says, "I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people."
Jeremiah 31:2
Thus the Lord says, "The people [who were] left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause him to rest."
Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord has appeared of old to me, [saying], "Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.

Jeremiah 31:8
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] the blind and the lame with them, the woman with child and her who travails with child together, a great company will return there.
Jeremiah 31:9
They will come with weeping, and I will lead them with supplications, I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they will not stumble, for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] My firstborn.
Jeremiah 31:10
Hear the word of the Lord, O you nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, 'He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [does] his flock.'
Jeremiah 31:11
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of [him who was] stronger than him.
Jeremiah 31:12
Therefore they will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd, and their soul will be as a watered garden; and they will not sorrow anymore at all.
Jeremiah 31:13
Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together, for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:14
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 31:15
Thus the Lord says; "A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel, weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not." *Matthew 2:17 - 18
Jeremiah 31:16
Thus the Lord says; "Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded," the Lord says; "And they will come again from the land of the enemy.
Jeremiah 31:17
And there is hope in your end," the Lord says, "That your children will come again to their own border.
Jeremiah 31:18
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus]; 'You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed [to the yoke], turn me, and I will be turned; for You [are] the Lord my God.
Jeremiah 31:19
Surely, after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck upon [my] thigh, I was ashamed, indeed, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.'
Jeremiah 31:20
[Is] Ephraim My dear son? [Is he] a pleasant child? For since I spoke against him, I earnestly remember him still, therefore My bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him," the Lord says.

Jeremiah 31:29
In those days they will no longer say, "The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge."
Jeremiah 31:30
But everyone will die for his own iniquity, every man who eats the sour grape, his teeth will be set on edge.
Jeremiah 31:31
"Behold, the days come," the Lord says, "That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.
Jeremiah 31:32
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was a husband to them," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 31:33
"But this [will be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days," the Lord says, "I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they will be My people.
Jeremiah 31:34

Jeremiah 31:35
Thus the Lord says, who gives the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; "The Lord of hosts [is] His name.
Jeremiah 31:36
If those ordinances depart from before Me," the Lord says, "[Then] the seed of Israel will also cease from being a nation before Me forever."

Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 32:3
For Zedekiah, king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, and say, 'Thus the Lord says, 'Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
Jeremiah 32:4
And Zedekiah, king of Judah will not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will behold his eyes;
Jeremiah 32:5
And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he will be until I visit him,' the Lord says, 'Though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper.'"
Jeremiah 32:6
And Jeremiah said, "The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 32:7
'Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum, your uncle, will come to you, saying, 'Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy [it].'"
Jeremiah 32:8
So Hanameel, my uncle's son, came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, "Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin, for the right of inheritance [is] yours, and the redemption [is] yours; buy [it] for yourself." Then I knew that this [was] the word of the Lord.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 32:10
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed [it], and took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 32:12
And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel, my uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison. *2:282
Jeremiah 32:13
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
Jeremiah 32:14
"Thus the Lord of hosts says, 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.'
Jeremiah 32:15
For the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; 'Houses and fields and vineyards will be possessed again in this land.'"
Jeremiah 32:16
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 32:17
"Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah 32:18
You show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense 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,
Jeremiah 32:19
Great in counsel, and mighty in work, for Your eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 32:20
Who has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] to this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and have made Yourself a name, as at this day;
Jeremiah 32:21
And have brought forth Your 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;
Jeremiah 32:22
And have given this land to them, which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Jeremiah 32:23
And they came in, and possessed it; but they did not obey Your voice, neither walked in Your law; they have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do, therefore You have caused all this evil to come upon them.
Jeremiah 32:24
Behold the mounts, they are brought to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence, and what You have spoken has come to pass; and, behold, You see [it].
Jeremiah 32:25
And You have said to me, O Lord God, 'Buy the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"
Jeremiah 32:26
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 32:27
"Behold, I [am] the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me?"
Jeremiah 32:28
Therefore the Lord thus says; "Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Jeremiah 32:29
And the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger.
Jeremiah 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," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 32:31
"For this city has been to Me [as] a provocation of My anger and of My fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before My Face,
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 32:33
And they have turned the back to Me, and not the face, though I taught them, rising up early and teaching [them], yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
Jeremiah 32:34
But they set their abominations in the House, which is called by My name, to defile it.
Jeremiah 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] to Molech; which I did not command them, neither did it come into My mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." *6:137
Jeremiah 32:36
And now therefore the Lord thus says, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof you say, "It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Jeremiah 32:37
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
Jeremiah 32:38
And they will be My people, and I will be their God.
Jeremiah 32:39
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them.
Jeremiah 32:40
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts, that they will not depart from Me.
Jeremiah 32:41
Indeed, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul."
Jeremiah 32:42
For thus the Lord says; "As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Jeremiah 32:43
And fields will be bought in this land, whereof you say, '[It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'
Jeremiah 32:44
Men will buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, for I will cause their captivity to return," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 33:1
Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Jeremiah 33:2
"Thus the Lord says, the Maker thereof, the Lord who formed it, to establish it; the Lord [is] His name;
Jeremiah 33:3
'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you did not know.'
Jeremiah 33:4
For the Lord thus says, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
Jeremiah 33:5
'They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in My anger and in My fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden My Face from this city.
Jeremiah 33:6
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah 33:7
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Jeremiah 33:8
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against Me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against Me.
Jeremiah 33:9
And it will be a name of joy to Me, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and they will fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure to it.'
Jeremiah 33:10
Thus the Lord says; 'Again there will be heard in this place, which you say [will be] desolate without man and without beast, [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
Jeremiah 33:11
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say, 'Praise the Lord of hosts, for the Lord [is] good; for His mercy [endures] forever,' [and] of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the House of the Lord. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return, as at the first,' the Lord says.
Jeremiah 33:12
Thus the Lord of hosts says; 'Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, will be a habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
Jeremiah 33:13
In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will pass again under the hands of him who tells [them],' the Lord says.
Jeremiah 33:14
'Behold, the days come,' the Lord says, 'That I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
Jeremiah 33:15
In those days, and at that time, I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he will execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 33:16
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely, and this [is the name] whereby she will be called, The Lord our righteousness.'
Jeremiah 33:17
For thus the Lord says; 'David will never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Jeremiah 33:18
Neither will the priests the Levites want a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.'"
Jeremiah 33:19
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 33:20
"Thus the Lord says; 'If you can break My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
Jeremiah 33:21
[Then] My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
Jeremiah 33:22
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites who minister to Me.'"
Jeremiah 33:23
Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 33:24
"Do you not consider what this people has spoken, saying, 'The two families whom the Lord has chosen, has He even cast them off?' Thus they have despised My people, that they should no longer be a nation before them.
Jeremiah 33:25
Thus the Lord says; 'If My covenant [is] not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Jeremiah 33:26
Then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.'"
Jeremiah 34:1
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Jeremiah 34:2
Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel; "Go and speak to Zedekiah, king of Judah, and tell him, 'Thus the Lord says; 'Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
Jeremiah 34:3
And you will not escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes will behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth, and you will go to Babylon.'
Jeremiah 34:4
Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah, king of Judah; thus the Lord says of you, 'You will not die by the sword.
Jeremiah 34:5
[But] you will die in peace, and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn [odors] for you; and they will lament you, [saying], 'Ah lord!' For I have pronounced the word," the Lord says.
Jeremiah 34:6
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah, king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Jeremiah 34:7
When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these defensed cities remained of the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 34:8
[This is] the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
Jeremiah 34:9
That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, [being] a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to knowledge], of a Jew his brother.
Jeremiah 34:10
Now when all the princes, and all the people, who had entered into the covenant, heard that everyone should let his manservant, and everyone his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them anymore, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.
Jeremiah 34:11
But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Jeremiah 34:12
Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 34:13
"Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel; 'I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
Jeremiah 34:14
'At the end of seven years let go every man his brother a Hebrew, who has been sold to you; and when he has served you for six years, you will let him go free from you,' but your fathers did not listen to Me, neither incline their ear.
Jeremiah 34:15
And you were now turned, and had done right in My sight, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before Me in the House which is called by My name.
Jeremiah 34:16
But you turned and polluted My name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids."
Jeremiah 34:17
Therefore the Lord thus says; "You have not listened to Me, in proclaiming liberty, everyone to his brother, and every man to his neighbor, behold, I proclaim a liberty for you," the Lord says, "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.
Jeremiah 34:18
And I will give the men who have transgressed My covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before Me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts thereof,
Jeremiah 34:19
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
Jeremiah 34:20
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and their dead bodies will be for meat to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 34:21
And I will give Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his princes, into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, who have gone up from you.
Jeremiah 34:22
Behold, I will command," the Lord says, "And cause them to return to this city; and they will fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant."
Jeremiah 35:1
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
Jeremiah 35:2
"Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the House of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink."
Jeremiah 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;
Jeremiah 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, who [was] by the chamber of the princes, who [was] above the chamber of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door.
Jeremiah 35:5
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, "Drink wine."
Jeremiah 35:6
But they said, "We will drink no wine, for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You will drink no wine, [neither you], nor your sons forever.
Jeremiah 35:7
Neither will you build a house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have [any], but you will dwell in tents all your days; that you may live many days in the land where you [are] strangers.'
Jeremiah 35:8
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
Jeremiah 35:9
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in, neither do we have a vineyard, nor field, nor seed.
Jeremiah 35:10
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us."
Jeremiah 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."
Jeremiah 35:12
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 35:13
"Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 'Will you not receive instruction to hear My words?' The Lord says.
Jeremiah 35:14
'The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons to not drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment, notwithstanding I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you did not listen to Me.
Jeremiah 35:15
I have also sent all My servants the prophets to you, rising up early and sending [them], saying, 'Return now, every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and your fathers,' but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to Me.
Jeremiah 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 has not listened to Me.
Jeremiah 35:17
Therefore the Lord thus says 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 to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered."
Jeremiah 35:18
And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he has commanded you.'
Jeremiah 35:19
Therefore the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; 'Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will not want a man to stand before Me forever.'"
Jeremiah 36:1
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, [that] this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah 36:2
"Take a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
Jeremiah 36:3
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return, every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
Jeremiah 36:4
Then Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote all the words of the Lord from the mouth of Jeremiah, which He had spoken to him, upon a roll of a book.
Jeremiah 36:5
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I [am] shut up; I cannot go into the House of the Lord.
Jeremiah 36:6
Therefore go, and read in the roll, which you have 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 you will also read them in the ears of all Judah, who come out of their cities.
Jeremiah 36:7
It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return, everyone from his evil way, for great [is] the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people."
Jeremiah 36:8
And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading the words of the Lord in the book in the Lord's House.
Jeremiah 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 who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 36:10
Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah in the book 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.
Jeremiah 36:11
When Michaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord out of the book,
Jeremiah 36:12
Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber, and, look, 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.
Jeremiah 36:13
Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Jeremiah 36:14
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Take the roll in your hand, wherein you have read in the ears of the people, and come." So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the roll in his hand, and came to them.
Jeremiah 36:15
And they said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our ears." So Baruch read [it] in their ears.
Jeremiah 36:16
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid, both one and other, and said to Baruch, "We will surely tell the king of all these words."
Jeremiah 36:17
And they asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?"
Jeremiah 36:18
Then Baruch answered them, "He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in the book."
Jeremiah 36:19
Then the princes said to Baruch, "Go, hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are."
Jeremiah 36:20
And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid the roll up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
Jeremiah 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 who stood beside the king.
Jeremiah 36:22
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month, and [there was a fire] on the hearth burning before him.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 36:24
Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, [neither] the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 36:27
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 36:28
"Take another roll again, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
Jeremiah 36:29
And you will say to Jehoiakim, king of Judah, 'Thus the Lord says; 'You have burned this roll, saying, 'Why have you written therein,' saying, 'The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause man and beast to cease from there?'
Jeremiah 36:30
Therefore the Lord thus says of Jehoiakim, king of Judah; 'He will have none to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Jeremiah 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 did not listen.
Jeremiah 36:32
Then Jeremiah took 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 many like words were added besides them.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 37:2
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, heard the words of the Lord, which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 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 to the Lord our God for us."
Jeremiah 37:4
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
Jeremiah 37:5
Then Pharaoh's army was brought forth out of Egypt, and when the Chaldeans who besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 37:6
Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 37:7
"Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel; 'Thus you will say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me; 'Behold, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
Jeremiah 37:8
And the Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.'"
Jeremiah 37:9
Thus the Lord says; "Do not deceive yourselves, saying, 'The Chaldeans will surely depart from us,' for they will not depart.
Jeremiah 37:10
For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained [but] wounded men among them, [yet] they will rise up, every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire."
Jeremiah 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,
Jeremiah 37:12
Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself from there in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah 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, "You fall away to the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 37:14
Then Jeremiah said, "[It is] false; I do not fall away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him, so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremiah 37:15
Therefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made that the prison.
Jeremiah 37:16
When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there for many days;
Jeremiah 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, He said, you will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
Jeremiah 37:18
Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, "What have I offended against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Jeremiah 37:19
Where [are] your prophets now who prophesied to you, saying, 'The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land?'
Jeremiah 37:20
Therefore please hear now, O my lord the king, please let my supplication be accepted before you; that you do not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, unless I die there."
Jeremiah 38:2
"Thus the Lord says, 'He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans will live; for he will have his life for a prey, and will live.'
Jeremiah 38:3
Thus the Lord says, 'This city will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which will take it.'"
Jeremiah 38:4
Therefore the princes said to the king, "We beseech you, let this man be put to death, for he thus weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them, for this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but the hurt."
Jeremiah 38:5
Then Zedekiah the king said, "Behold, he [is] in your hand, for the king [is] not [he who] can do [any] thing against you."
Jeremiah 38:6
Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah, the son of Hammelech, that [was] in the court of the prison, and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And [there was] no water in the dungeon, but mire, so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Jeremiah 38:7
Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king, then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
Jeremiah 38:8
Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Jeremiah 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 likely to die for hunger in the place where he is, for [there is] no more bread in the city."
Jeremiah 38:10
Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, "Take thirty men with you from here, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.
Jeremiah 38:11
So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took old cast clouts and old rotten rags from there, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 38:12
And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Put now [these] old cast clouts and rotten rags under your armholes under the cords." And Jeremiah did so.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 38:14
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that [is] in the House of the Lord, and the king said to Jeremiah, "I will ask you a thing; hide nothing from me."
Jeremiah 38:15
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I declare [it] to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you counsel, will you not hear me?"
Jeremiah 38:16
So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, "[As] the Lord lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life."
Jeremiah 38:17
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus the Lord says, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; 'If you will assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire; and you will live, and your house.
Jeremiah 38:18
But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you will not escape out of their hand.'"
Jeremiah 38:19
And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, unless they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me."
Jeremiah 38:20
But Jeremiah said, "They will not deliver [you]. Obey, I beseech you, the voice of the Lord, which I speak to you, so it will be well to you, and your soul will live.
Jeremiah 38:21
But if you refuse to go forth, this [is] the word that the Lord has shown me.
Jeremiah 38:22
And, behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house [will be] brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those [women] will say, 'Your friends have set you on, and have prevailed against you, your feet have sunk in the mire, [and] they have turned back away.'
Jeremiah 38:23
So they will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon, and you will cause this city to be burned with fire."
Jeremiah 38:24
Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no man know of these words, and you will not die.
Jeremiah 38:25
But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and say to you, 'Declare to us now what you have said to the king, do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you.'
Jeremiah 38:26
Then you will say to them, 'I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.'"
Jeremiah 38:27
Then all the princes came to 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.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 39:1
In the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar came, king of Babylon, and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. *17:5
Jeremiah 39:2
[And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 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 between the two walls, and he went out the way of the plain.
Jeremiah 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.
Jeremiah 39:6
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, the king of Babylon also slew all the nobles of Judah.
Jeremiah 39:7
Moreover, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:8
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. *17:5
Jeremiah 39:9
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried away the remnant of the people who remained in the city captive into Babylon, and those who fell away, who fell to him, with the rest of the people who remained.
Jeremiah 39:10
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Jeremiah 39:11
Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah 39:12
"Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he will say to you."
Jeremiah 39:13
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
Jeremiah 39:14
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home, so he dwelt among the people.
Jeremiah 39:15
Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Jeremiah 39:16
"Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be [accomplished] in that day before you.
Jeremiah 39:17
But I will deliver you in that day,'" the Lord says, "And you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you [are] afraid.
Jeremiah 39:18
For I will surely deliver you, and you will not fall by the sword, but your life will be for a prey to you, because you have put your trust in Me," the Lord says."
Jeremiah 40:1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all who were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.
Jeremiah 40:2
And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, "The Lord your God has pronounced this evil upon this place.
Jeremiah 40:3
Now the Lord has brought [it], and done accordingly as He has said, because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed His voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.
Jeremiah 40:4
And now, behold, I loose you this day from the chains which [were] upon your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to you, but if it seems ill to you to come with me into Babylon, forbear, behold, all the land [is] before you, where it seems good and convenient for you to go, go there."
Jeremiah 40:5
Now while he had not yet gone back, [he said], "Go back also to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people, or go wherever it seems convenient to you to go." So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
Jeremiah 40:6
Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.
Jeremiah 40:7
Now when all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields, [even] they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, governor in the land, and had committed men to him, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Jeremiah 40:8
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan, the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Jeremiah 40:9
And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, "Do not fear to serve the Chaldeans, dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.
Jeremiah 40:10
As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, who will come to us, but you, gather wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken."
Jeremiah 40:11
Likewise when all the Jews who [were] in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and who [were] in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over Gedaliah them, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;
Jeremiah 40:12
Even all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered much wine and summer fruits.
Jeremiah 40:13
Moreover, Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Jeremiah 40:14
And said to him, "Do you certainly know that Baalis, the king of the Ammonites, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to slay you?" But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, did not believe them.
Jeremiah 40:15
Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, "Please let me go, and I will slay Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and no man will know [it], why should he slay you, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?"
Jeremiah 40:16
But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah, "You will not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael."
Jeremiah 41:1
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah; and they ate bread there together in Mizpah.
Jeremiah 41:2
Then Ishmael arose, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Jeremiah 41:3
Ishmael also slew all the Jews who were with him, [even] with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, [and] the men of war.
Jeremiah 41:4
And it came to pass the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
Jeremiah 41:5
That some came there from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, [even] eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring [them] to the House of the Lord.
Jeremiah 41:6
And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and it came to pass, as he met them, he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam."
Jeremiah 41:7
And it was [so], when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, slew them, [and cast them] into the midst of the pit, he and the men who [were] with him.
Jeremiah 41:8
But ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, "Do not slay us, for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey." So he forbare, and did not slay them among their brethren.
Jeremiah 41:9
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel, [and] Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, he filled it with [those who were] slain.
Jeremiah 41:10
Then Ishmael carried away all the residue of the people captive, who [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king's daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had committed to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
Jeremiah 41:11
But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,
Jeremiah 41:12
Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that [are] in Gibeon.
Jeremiah 41:13
Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people who [were] with Ishmael saw Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him, then they were glad.
Jeremiah 41:14
So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.
Jeremiah 41:15
But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
Jeremiah 41:16
Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him, took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon.
Jeremiah 41:17
And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Jeremiah 41:18
Because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had slain Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
Jeremiah 42:1
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Jeremiah 42:2
And said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Let, we beseech you, our supplication be accepted before you, and pray for us to the Lord your God, [even] for all this remnant (for we are left [but] a few of many, as your eyes do behold us).
Jeremiah 42:3
That the Lord your God may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do."
Jeremiah 42:4
Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words; and it will come to pass, [that] whatever thing the Lord will answer you, I will declare [it] to you; I will keep nothing back from you."
Jeremiah 42:5
Then they said to Jeremiah, "The Lord is a true and faithful Witness between us, if we do not do even according to all things for which the Lord your God will send you to us.
Jeremiah 42:6
Whether [it is] good, or whether [it is] evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God."
Jeremiah 42:7
And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 42:8
Then he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Jeremiah 42:9
And said to them, "Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before Him;
Jeremiah 42:10
'If you will still abide in this land, then I will build you, and not pull [you] down, and I will plant you, and not pluck [you] up, for I repent Myself of the evil that I have done to you.
Jeremiah 42:11
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him,' the Lord says, 'For I [am] with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Jeremiah 42:12
And I will show mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Jeremiah 42:13
But if you say, 'We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,'
Jeremiah 42:14
Saying, 'No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell.'
Jeremiah 42:15
And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, you remnant of Judah; 'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Jeremiah 42:16
Then it will come to pass, [that] the sword, which you feared, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof you were afraid, will follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you will die.
Jeremiah 42:17
So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, and none of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.'
Jeremiah 42:18
For the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; 'As My anger and My fury have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so will My fury be poured forth upon you, when you will enter into Egypt, and you will be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you will no longer see this place.'
Jeremiah 42:19
The Lord has said concerning you, O you remnant of Judah; 'Do not go into Egypt, know certainly that I have admonished you this day.'
Jeremiah 42:20
For you dissembled in your hearts, when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the Lord our God; and according to all that the Lord our God will say, so declare to us, and we will do [it].'
Jeremiah 42:21
And [now] I have this day declared [it] to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any [thing] for which He has sent me to you.
Jeremiah 42:22
Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go [and] to sojourn.'"
Jeremiah 43:1
And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, [even] all these words,
Jeremiah 43:2
Then Azariah spoke, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely, the Lord our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go into Egypt to sojourn there.'
Jeremiah 43:3
But Baruch, the son of Neriah, sets you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon."
Jeremiah 43:4
So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah 43:5
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all nations, where they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
Jeremiah 43:6
[Even] men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
Jeremiah 43:7
So they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the Lord, thus they came [even] to Tahpanhes.
Jeremiah 43:8
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Jeremiah 43:9
"Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which [is] at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
Jeremiah 43:10
And say to them, 'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, My servant, *17:5 and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
Jeremiah 43:11
And when he comes, he will strike the land of Egypt, [and deliver] such [who are] for death to death; and such [who are] for captivity to captivity; and such [who are] for the sword to the sword.
Jeremiah 43:12
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he will burn them, and carry them away captives, and he will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go forth from there in peace.
Jeremiah 43:13
He will also break the images of Bethshemesh, that [are] in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of the Egyptians with fire."
Jeremiah 44:1
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwell in the land of Egypt, who dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Jeremiah 44:2
"Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; 'You have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, they [are] a desolation this day, and no man dwells therein,
Jeremiah 44:3
Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke Me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve other gods, whom they did not know, [neither] they, you, nor your fathers.
Jeremiah 44:4
Howbeit I sent all My servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending [them], saying, 'Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.'
Jeremiah 44:5
But they did not listen, nor incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to not burn incense to other gods.
Jeremiah 44:6
Therefore My fury and My anger were poured forth, and were kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted [and] desolate, as at this day.'"
Jeremiah 44:7
Therefore the Lord thus says now, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; "Why do you commit [this] great evil against your souls, to cut off from man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave none to remain;
Jeremiah 44:8
In that you provoke Me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to dwell, that you might cut yourselves off, and that you might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Jeremiah 44:9
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 44:10
They are not humbled [even] to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in My law, nor in My statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers."
Jeremiah 44:11
Therefore the Lord of hosts thus says, the God of Israel; "Behold, I will set My Face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
Jeremiah 44:12
And I will take the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they will all be consumed, [and] fall in the land of Egypt; they will [even] be consumed by the sword [and] by the famine, they will die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine, and they will be an execration, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Jeremiah 44:13
For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jeremiah 44:14
So that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone to sojourn into the land of Egypt, will escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there, for none will return but such who will escape."
Jeremiah 44:15
Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great multitude, even all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 44:16
"[As for] the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hear you.
Jeremiah 44:17
But we will certainly do whatever thing goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, for we had plenty of victuals [then], and were well, and saw no evil.
Jeremiah 44:18
But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all [things], and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jeremiah 44:19
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to depict her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our men?"
Jeremiah 44:20
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him [that] answer, saying,
Jeremiah 44:21
"The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did the Lord not remember them, and did it [not] come into His mind?
Jeremiah 44:22
So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore your land is a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Jeremiah 44:23
Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, nor walked in His law, nor in His statutes, nor in His testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as at this day."
Jeremiah 44:24
Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, "Hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt.
Jeremiah 44:25
'Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel, saying; 'You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, 'We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her,' you will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
Jeremiah 44:26
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt; 'Behold, I have sworn by My great name,' the Lord says, 'That My name will no longer be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, 'The Lord God lives.'
Jeremiah 44:27
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt will be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there is an end of them.
Jeremiah 44:28
Yet a small number who escape the sword will return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, will know whose words will stand, Mine, or theirs.
Jeremiah 44:29
And this [will be] a sign to you,' the Lord says, 'That I will punish you in this place, that you may know that My words will surely stand against you for evil.'
Jeremiah 44:30
Thus the Lord says; 'Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra, king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah, king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.'"
Jeremiah 45:1
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

"Thus the Lord says, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch;
Jeremiah 45:3
'You did say, 'Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.'
Jeremiah 45:4
Thus you will say to him, 'The Lord thus says; 'Behold, [that] which I have built, I will break down, and that which I have planted, I will pluck up, even this whole land.
Jeremiah 45:5
And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek [them], for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh,' the Lord says, 'But I will give your life to you for a prey in all places where you go.'"
