Jeremiah 1





1. The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the son
<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, of the priests <3548
kohen > that [were] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in the land
<0776 >erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >:



2 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days < 3117 yowm > of
Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526
>Amown > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, in the
thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >.



3 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of
Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah
<2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >,
unto the end <8537 tom > of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977
Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, unto
the carrying <1540 galah > away of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim
> captive <1540 galah > in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month
<2320 chodesh >.



4. Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



5 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the
belly <0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee; and before <2962
terem > thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of
the womb <7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee, [and]
I ordained <5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto the
nations <1471 gowy >.



6 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! behold <2009 hinneh >, I cannot
<3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar >: for I [am] a child <5288 na<ar
>.



7 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Say
<0559 >amar > not, I [am] a child <5288 na<ar >: for thou shalt
go <3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send <7971
shalach > thee, and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah > thee
thou shalt speak <1696 dabar >.



8 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym >:
for I [am] with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



9 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth <7971
shalach > his hand <3027 yad >, and touched <5060 naga< > my
mouth <6310 peh >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar
> unto me, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have put <5414 nathan > my
words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh >.



10 See <7200 ra>ah >, I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >
set <6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471 gowy >
and over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, to root
<5428 nathash > out, and to pull <5422 nathats > down, and to
destroy <6>, and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac >, to
build <1129 banah >, and to plant <5193 nata< >.



11. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >, Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah >, what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I
said <0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod <4731 maqqel > of
an almond <8247 shaqed > tree.



12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me,
Thou hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah >: for I will
hasten <8245 shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213
<asah > it.



13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time, saying
<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I
said <0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a seething <5301 naphach
> pot <5518 ciyr >; and the face <6440 paniym > thereof [is]
toward <6440 paniym > the north <6828 tsaphown >.



14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,
Out of the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall
break <6605 pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets >.



15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will call <7121 qara> > all <3605
kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms <4467
mamlakah > of the north <6828 tsaphown >, saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and they shall come <0935 bow> >, and
they shall set <5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376
>iysh > his throne <3678 kicce> > at the entering <6607 pethach
> of the gates <8179 sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,
and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah
> thereof round <5439 cabiyb > about, and against < 5921 <al >
all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah
>.



16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat >
against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol >
their wickedness <7451 ra< >, who have forsaken <5800 <azab > me,
and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and worshipped <7812
shachah > the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own < 0249 >ezrach >
hands <3027 yad >.



17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins < 4975 mothen
>, and arise <6965 quwm >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them all
<3605 kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee: be not dismayed
<2865 chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym >, lest <6435 pen >
I confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440 paniym > them.



18 For, behold <2009 hinneh >, I have made <5414 nathan > thee
this day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr
>, and an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and brasen
<5178 n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against < 5921 <al > the
whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets >, against the kings <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, against the princes <8269 sar
> thereof, against the priests <3548 kohen > thereof, and
against the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 > erets >.



19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee;
but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee; for I
[am] with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to
deliver <5337 natsal > thee.



Jeremiah 2



1. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241
>ozen > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, saying < 0559 >amar >,
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >; I
remember <2142 zakar > thee, the kindness <2617 checed > of thy
youth <5271 na<uwr >, the love <0160 >ahabah > of thine
espousals <3623 k@luwlah >, when thou wentest <3212 yalak >
after <0310 >achar > me in the wilderness <4057 midbar >, in a
land <0776 >erets > [that was] not sown <2232 zara< >.



3 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [was] holiness <6944 qodesh > unto
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth
> of his increase <8393 t@buw>ah >: all <3605 kol > that devour
<0398 >akal > him shall offend <0816 >asham >; evil <7451 ra< >
shall come <0935 bow> > upon them, saith <5002 n@> um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.



4 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob < 3290 Ya<aqob >,
and all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:



5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <1>
found <4672 matsa> > in me, that they are gone far < 7368 rachaq
> from me, and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar >
vanity <1892 hebel >, and are become <1891 habal > vain <1891
habal >?



6 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they, Where <0346
>ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927 <alah >
us up out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >,
that led <3212 yalak > us through the wilderness <4057 midbar >,
through a land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160 < arabah > and of
pits <7745 shuwchah >, through a land <0776 >erets > of drought
<6723 tsiyah >, and of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death
<6757 tsalmaveth >, through a land <0776 >erets > that no <3808
lo> > man <0376 >iysh > passed <5674 <abar > through, and where
<8033 sham > no <3808 lo> > man <0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab
>?



7 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful
<3759 karmel > country <0776 >erets >, to eat < 0398 >akal > the
fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb >
thereof; but when ye entered <0935 bow> >, ye defiled <2930
tame> > my land <0776 >erets >, and made <7760 suwm > mine
heritage <5159 nachalah > an abomination <8441 tow< ebah >.



8 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not, Where <0346
>ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? and they that handle
<8610 taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< > me not:
the pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586 pasha< >
against me, and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012
naba> > by Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and walked <1980 halak > after
<0310 >achar > [things that] do not profit <3276 ya<al >.



9. Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead <7378
riyb > with you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
and with your children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben > will I
plead <7378 riyb >.



10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339
>iy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy >, and see <7200 ra>ah >; and send
<7971 shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar >, and consider <0995
biyn > diligently <3966 m@<od >, and see <7200 ra>ah > if there
be such <2063 zo>th > a thing.



11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr > [their] gods
<0430 >elohiym >, which <1992 hem > [are] yet no <3808 lo> >
gods <0430 >elohiym >? but my people <5971 <am > have changed
<4171 muwr > their glory <3519 kabowd > for [that which <1992
hem >] doth not profit <3276 ya<al >.



12 Be astonished <8074 shamem >, O ye heavens <8064 shamayim >,
at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th >, and be horribly <8175 sa<ar >
afraid <8175 sa<ar >, be ye very <3966 m@<od > desolate <2717
charab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two
<8147 sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< >; they have forsaken <5800
<azab > me the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living < 2416 chay >
waters <4325 mayim >, [and] hewed <2672 chatsab > them out
cisterns <0877 bo>r >, broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877 bo>r
>, that can hold <3557 kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim >.



14. [Is] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 < ebed >? [is]
he a homeborn <1004 bayith > [slave]? why <4069 madduwa< > is he
spoiled <0957 baz >?



15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared <7580
rrrsha>ag > upon him, [and] yelled, and they made <7896 shiyth >
his land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah >: his cities <5892
<iyr > are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097 b@liy >
inhabitant <3427 yashab >.



16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297 Noph
> and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah >
the crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod >.



17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto
thyself, in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, when <6256 < eth > he led
<3212 yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek >?



18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in
the way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, to drink <8354
shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883 Shiychowr >?
or what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of
Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >, to drink <8354 shathah > the waters
<4325 mayim > of the river <5104 nahar >?



19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct < 3256 yacar >
thee, and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove <3198
yakach > thee: know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200 ra>ah
> that [it is] an evil <7451 ra< > [thing] and bitter <4751 mar
>, that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah
> thy God <0430 >elohiym >, and that my fear <6345 pachdah >
[is] not in thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



20. For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken < 7665 shabar >
thy yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq > thy bands <4147
mowcer >; and thou saidst <0559 >amar >, I will not transgress
<5647 <abad >; when <3588 kiy > upon every < 3605 kol > high
<1364 gaboahh > hill <1389 gib<ah > and under < 8478 tachath >
every <3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree < 6086 <ets > thou
wanderest <6808 tsa<ah >, playing the harlot <2181 zanah >.



21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321
soreq >, wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233
zera< >: how <0349 >eyk > then art thou turned < 2015 haphak >
into the degenerate <5494 cuwr > plant of a strange < 5237 nokriy
> vine <1612 gephen > unto me?



22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with
nitre <5427 nether >, and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap
<1287 boriyth >, [yet] thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is marked
<3799 katham > before <6440 paniym > me, saith < 5002 n@>um > the
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.



23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar >, I am not
polluted <2930 tame> >, I have not gone <1980 halak > after
<0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al >? see < 7200 ra>ah > thy way
<1870 derek > in the valley <1516 gay> >, know < 3045 yada< >
what <4100 mah > thou hast done <6213 <asah >: [thou art] a
swift <7031 qal > dromedary <1072 bikrah > traversing <8308
sarak > her ways <1870 derek >;



24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd >
to the wilderness <4057 midbar >, [that] snuffeth <7602 sha>aph
> up the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure; in her occasion
<8385 ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > her away?
all <3605 kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her will not weary
<3286 ya<aph > themselves; in her month <2320 chodesh > they
shall find <4672 matsa> > her.



25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being
unshod <3182 yacheph >, and thy throat <1627 garown > from
thirst <6773 tsim>ah >: but thou saidst <0559 > amar >, There is
no hope <2976 ya>ash >: no <3808 lo> >; for I have loved <0157
>ahab > strangers <2114 zuwr >, and after <0310 >achar > them
will I go <3212 yalak >.



26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth > when
<3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> >, so < 3651 ken > is the
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed <0954
buwsh >; they, their kings <4428 melek >, their princes <8269
sar >, and their priests <3548 kohen >, and their prophets <5030
nabiy> >,



27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets > , Thou [art] my
father <1>; and to a stone <68>, Thou hast brought <3205 yalad >
me forth <3205 yalad >: for they have turned <6437 panah >
[their] back <6203 <oreph > unto me, and not [their] face <6440
paniym >: but in the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451
ra< > they will say <0559 >amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and save
<3467 yasha< > us.



28 But where <0346 >ayeh > [are] thy gods <0430 > elohiym > that
thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee? let them arise < 6965 quwm >,
if they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time < 6256 <eth > of
thy trouble <7451 ra< >: for [according to] the number <4557
micpar > of thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods < 0430 >elohiym
>, O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



29. Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with me?
ye all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your
children <1121 ben >; they received <3947 laqach > no <3808 lo>
> correction <4148 muwcar >: your own sword <2719 chereb > hath
devoured <0398 >akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> >, like a
destroying <7843 shachath > lion <0738 >ariy >.



31 O generation <1755 dowr >, see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Have I been <1961
hayah > a wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el
>? a land <0776 >erets > of darkness <3991 ma> phel@yah >?
wherefore <4069 madduwa< > say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am
>, We are lords <7300 ruwd >; we will come <0935 bow> > no <3808
lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto thee?



32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her
ornaments <5716 <adiy >, [or] a bride <3618 kallah > her attire
<7196 qishshur >? yet my people <5971 <am > have forgotten <7911
shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > number
<4557 micpar >.



33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870
derek > to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah >? therefore
<3651 ken > hast thou also <1571 gam > taught < 3925 lamad > the
wicked <7451 ra< > ones thy ways <1870 derek >.



34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found <4672
matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh > of
the poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy >: I have not found <4672
matsa> > it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290 machtereth >,
but upon all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >.



35 Yet thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Because <3588 kiy > I am
innocent <5352 naqah >, surely <0389 >ak > his anger <0639 >aph
> shall turn <7725 shuwb > from me. Behold <2005 hen >, I will
plead <8199 shaphat > with thee, because <5921 <al > thou sayest
<0559 >amar >, I have not sinned <2398 chata> >.

37 Yea <1571 gam >, thou shalt go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

Jeremiah 3



1. They say <0559 >amar >, If a man <0376 >iysh > put <7971
shalach > away his wife <0802 >ishshah >, and she go <1980 halak

man's <0376 >iysh >, shall he return <7725 shuwb > unto her
again <5750 <owd >? shall not that land <0776 > erets > be
greatly polluted <2610 chaneph >? but thou hast played the
harlot <2181 zanah > with many <7227 rab > lovers < 7453 rea< >;
yet return <7725 shuwb > again to me, saith <5002 n@> um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



2 Lift <5375 nasa> > up thine eyes <5869 <ayin > unto the high
<8205 sh@phiy > places, and see <7200 ra>ah > where <0375
>eyphoh > thou hast not been lien <7693 shagal > with. In the
ways <1870 derek > hast thou sat <3427 yashab > for them, as the
Arabian <6163 <Arabiy > in the wilderness <4057 midbar >; and
thou hast polluted <2610 chaneph > the land <0776 > erets > with
thy whoredoms <2184 z@nuwth > and with thy wickedness < 7451 ra<
>.



3 Therefore the showers <7241 rabiyb > have been withholden
<4513 mana< >, and there hath been <1961 hayah > no <3808 lo> >
latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456 malqowsh >; and thou hadst a
whore's <2181 zanah > forehead <4696 metsach >, thou refusedst
<3985 ma>en > to be ashamed <3637 kalam >.



4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258 <attah > cry < 7121 qara> >
unto me, My father <1>, thou [art] the guide <0441 > alluwph > of
my youth <5271 na<uwr >?



5 Will he reserve <5201 natar > [his anger] for ever? will he
keep <8104 shamar > [it] to the end <5331 netsach >? Behold
<2009 hinneh >, thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > and done <6213
<asah > evil <7451 ra< > things as thou couldest <3201 yakol >.



6. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > also unto me in
the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > the king <4428
melek >, Hast thou seen <7200 ra>ah > [that] which <0834 >aher >
backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath done
<6213 <asah >? she is gone <1980 halak > up upon every <3605 kol

<3605 kol > green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >, and there
<8033 sham > hath played the harlot <2181 zanah >.



7 And I said <0559 >amar > after <0310 >achar > she had done
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 > el-leh > [things],
Turn <7725 shuwb > thou unto me. But she returned <7725 shuwb >
not. And her treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 > achowth >
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > [it].



8 And I saw <7200 ra>ah >, when <3588 kiy > for all <3605 kol >
the causes <0182 >owdowth > whereby <0834 >aher > backsliding
<4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > committed <5003 na>aph

and given <5414 nathan > her a bill <5612 cepher > of divorce
<3748 k@riythuwth >; yet her treacherous <0898 bagad > sister
<0269 >achowth > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > feared < 3372 yare> > not,
but went <3212 yalak > and played the harlot <2181 zanah > also
<1571 gam >.



9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass through the lightness <6963
qowl > of her whoredom <2184 z@nuwth >, that she defiled <2610
chaneph > the land <0776 >erets >, and committed < 5003 na>aph >
adultery <5003 na>aph > with stones <68> and with stocks <6086

10 And yet for all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > her
treacherous <0901 bagowd > sister <0269 >achowth > Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > hath not turned <7725 shuwb > unto me with her whole
<3605 kol > heart <3820 leb >, but feignedly <8267 sheqer >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, The
backsliding <4878 m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > hath
justified <6663 tsadaq > herself more than treacherous < 0898
bagad > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



12. Go <1980 halak > and proclaim <7121 qara> > these <0428 >el-

say <0559 >amar >, Return <7725 shuwb >, thou backsliding <4878
m@shuwbah > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; [and] I will not cause mine anger < 6440
paniym > to fall <5307 naphal > upon you: for I [am] merciful
<2623 chaciyd >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
[and] I will not keep <5201 natar > [anger] for ever < 5769
<owlam >.



13 Only <0389 >ak > acknowledge <3045 yada< > thine iniquity
<5771 <avon >, that thou hast transgressed <6586 pasha< >
against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 > elohiym >, and
hast scattered <6340 pazar > thy ways <1870 derek > to the
strangers <2114 zuwr > under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol >
green <7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets >, and ye have not obeyed
<8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >, saith < 5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



14 Turn <7725 shuwb >, O backsliding <7726 showbab > children
<1121 ben >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; for I
am married <1166 ba<al > unto you: and I will take < 3947 laqach

sh@nayim > of a family <4940 mishpachah >, and I will bring
<0935 bow> > you to Zion <6726 Tsiyown >:



15 And I will give <5414 nathan > you pastors <7462 ra<ah >
according to mine heart <3820 leb >, which shall feed < 7462
ra<ah > you with knowledge <1844 de<ah > and understanding <7919

16 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > ye
be multiplied <7235 rabah > and increased <6509 parah > in the
land <0776 >erets >, in those <1992 hem > days < 3117 yowm >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, they shall say
<0559 >amar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 < owd >, The ark <0727

[it]; neither <3808 lo> > shall [that] be done <6213 <asah > any
more <5750 <owd >.



17 At that time <6256 <eth > they shall call <7121 qara> >
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > the throne <3678 kicce> > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy

<8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart <3820 leb >.



18 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > the house <1004
bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall walk <3212 yalak > with
the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and they
shall come <0935 bow> > together <3162 yachad > out of the land
<0776 >erets > of the north <6828 tsaphown > to the land <0776

unto your fathers <1>.



19 But I said <0559 >amar >, How <0349 >eyk > shall I put <7896
shiyth > thee among the children <1121 ben >, and give <5414
nathan > thee a pleasant <2532 chemdah > land <0776 >erets >, a
goodly <6643 ts@biy > heritage <5159 nachalah > of the hosts

Thou shalt call <7121 qara> > me, My father <1>; and shalt not
turn <7725 shuwb > away from me.



20. Surely <0403 >aken > [as] a wife <0802 > ishshah >
treacherously <0898 bagad > departeth from her husband < 1167
ba<al >, so <3651 ken > have ye dealt treacherously <0898 bagad

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



21 A voice <6963 qowl > was heard <8085 shama< > upon the high
<8205 sh@phiy > places, weeping <1065 B@kiy > [and]
supplications <8469 tachanuwn > of the children <1121 ben > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: for they have perverted < 5753 <avah >
their way <1870 derek >, [and] they have forgotten <7911 shakach

22 Return <7725 shuwb >, ye backsliding <7726 showbab >
children <1121 ben >, [and] I will heal <7495 rapha> > your
backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah >. Behold <2005 hen >, we come

23 Truly <0403 >aken > in vain <8267 sheqer > [is salvation

[is] the salvation <8668 t@shuw<ah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



24 For shame <1322 bosheth > hath devoured <0398 > akal > the

25 We lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab > in our shame <1322

Jeremiah 4



1. If <0518 >im > thou wilt return <7725 shuwb >, O Israel

nations <1471 gowy > shall bless <1288 barak > themselves in him,
and in him shall they glory <1984 halal >.



3. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, Break <5214 niyr > up your

5. Declare <5046 nagad > ye in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and
publish <8085 shama< > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; and

6 Set <5375 nasa> > up the standard <5251 nec > toward Zion

7 The lion <0738 >ariy > is come <5927 <alah > up from his

8 For this <2063 zo>th > gird <2296 chagar > you with sackcloth

the fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068

10 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh > , Lord <0136

Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm >; whereas the

11 At that time <6256 <eth > shall it be said <0559 >amar > to

12 [Even] a full <4392 male> > wind <7307 ruwach > from those

13 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up as

14 O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, wash <3526 kabac > thine

16 Make ye mention <2142 zakar > to the nations <1471 gowy >;

17 As keepers <8104 shamar > of a field <7704 sadeh > , are they

18 Thy way <1870 derek > and thy doings <4611 ma< alal > have

this <2063 zo>th > [is] thy wickedness <7451 ra< >, because

19. My bowels <4578 me<ah >, my bowels <4578 me< ah >! I am

20 Destruction <7667 sheber > upon destruction <7667 sheber >

21 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall I see <7200 ra>ah >

22 For my people <5971 <am > [is] foolish <0191 > eviyl >, they

26 I beheld <7200 ra>ah >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, the fruitful

<3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof were broken <5422
nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence <6440 paniym > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] by his fierce <2740 charown >
anger <0639 >aph >.



27 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said
<0559 >amar >, The whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall
be desolate <8077 sh@mamah >; yet will I not make <6213 <asah >
a full end <3615 kalah >.



28 For this <2063 zo>th > shall the earth <0776 > erets > mourn
<56>, and the heavens <8064 shamayim > above <4605 ma<al > be
black <6937 qadar >: because I have spoken <1696 dabar > [it], I
have purposed <2161 zamam > [it], and will not repent < 5162
nacham >, neither <3808 lo> > will I turn <7725 shuwb > back
<7725 shuwb > from it.



29 The whole <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > shall flee <1272
barach > for the noise <6963 qowl > of the horsemen < 6571 parash
> and bowmen; they shall go <0935 bow> > into thickets <5645 <ab
>, and climb <5927 <alah > up upon the rocks <3710 keph >: every
<3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > [shall be] forsaken <5800 <azab >,
and not a man <0376 >iysh > dwell <3427 yashab > therein <2004
hen >.



30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703 shadad >, what < 4100 mah
> wilt thou do <6213 <asah >? Though <3588 kiy > thou clothest
<3847 labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy >, though <3588
kiy > thou deckest <5710 <adah > thee with ornaments <5716 <adiy
> of gold <2091 zahab >, though <3588 kiy > thou rentest <7167
qara< > thy face <5869 <ayin > with painting < 6320 puwk >, in
vain <7723 shav> > shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah >;
[thy] lovers <5689 <agab > will despise <3988 ma> ac > thee, they
will seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.



31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a
woman in travail <2470 chalah >, [and] the anguish <6869 tsarah
> as of her that bringeth <1069 bakar > forth her first <1069
bakar > child, the voice <6963 qowl > of the daughter <1323 bath

herself, [that] spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph >,
[saying], Woe <0188 >owy > [is] me now <4994 na> >! for my soul
<5315 nephesh > is wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers
<2026 harag >.



Jeremiah 5



1. Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and
see <7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> >, and know < 3045 yada< >, and
seek <1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof,
if <0518 >im > ye can find <4672 matsa> > a man <0376 >iysh >,
if <0518 >im > there be [any] that executeth <6213 <asah >
judgment <4941 mishpat >, that seeketh <1245 baqash > the truth
<0530 >emuwnah >; and I will pardon <5545 calach > it.



2 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar > , The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; surely <0403 >aken > they swear
<7650 shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >.



3 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [are] not thine eyes <5869 <ayin >
upon the truth <0530 >emuwnah >? thou hast stricken < 5221 nakah
> them, but they have not grieved <2342 chuwl >; thou hast
consumed <3615 kalah > them, [but] they have refused < 3985 ma>en
> to receive <3947 laqach > correction <4148 muwcar >: they have
made their faces <6440 paniym > harder <2388 chazaq > than a
rock <5553 cela< >; they have refused <3985 ma>en > to return
<7725 shuwb >.



4 Therefore I said <0559 >amar >, Surely <0389 > ak > these
<1992 hem > [are] poor <1800 dal >; they are foolish <2973 ya>al
>: for they know <3045 yada< > not the way <1870 derek > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [nor] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of
their God <0430 >elohiym >.



5 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl > men,
and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them; for they have known
<3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
[and] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >:
but these <1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken
<7665 shabar > the yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq >
the bonds <4147 mowcer >.



6 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest < 3293 ya<ar
> shall slay <5221 nakah > them, [and] a wolf <2061 z@>eb > of
the evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them, a
leopard <5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al
> their cities <5892 <iyr >: every one that goeth < 3318 yatsa> >
out thence <2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces:
because <3588 kiy > their transgressions <6588 pesha< > are
many <7231 rabab >, [and] their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah >
are increased <6105 <atsam >.



7 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this
<2063 zo>th >? thy children <1121 ben > have forsaken <5800
<azab > me, and sworn <7650 shaba< > by [them that are] no <3808
lo> > gods <0430 >elohiym >: when I had fed them to the full
<7646 saba< >, they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003
na>aph >, and assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in
the harlots <2181 zanah >' houses <1004 bayith >.



8 They were [as] fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the
morning <7904 shakah >: every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >
neighed <6670 tsahal > after <0413 >el > his neighbour's <7453
rea< > wife <0802 >ishshah >.



9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 > el-leh >
[things]? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and
shall not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on
such <0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this <2088 zeh >?



10. Go <5927 <alah > ye up upon her walls <8284 sharah >, and
destroy <7843 shachath >; but make <6213 <asah > not a full end
<3615 kalah >: take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her
battlements <5189 n@tiyshah >; for they [are] not the LORD'S
<3068 Y@hovah >.



11 For the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have dealt
very treacherously <0898 bagad > against me, saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



12 They have belied <3584 kachash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
and said <0559 >amar >, [It is] not he; neither <3808 lo> >
shall evil <7451 ra< > come <0935 bow> > upon us; neither <3808
lo> > shall we see <7200 ra>ah > sword <2719 chereb > nor famine
<7458 ra<ab >:



13 And the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall become < 1961 hayah >
wind <7307 ruwach >, and the word <1699 dober > [is] not in them:
thus <3541 koh > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them.



14 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635
tsaba> >, Because <3282 ya<an > ye speak <1696 dabar > this
<2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >, behold <2005 hen >, I will make
<5414 nathan > my words <1697 dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh >
fire <0784 >esh >, and this <2088 zeh > people < 5971 <am > wood
<6086 <ets >, and it shall devour <0398 >akal > them.



15 Lo <2009 hinneh >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a nation <1471
gowy > upon you from far <4801 merchaq >, O house < 1004 bayith >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >: it [is] a mighty <0386 >eythan > nation <1471 gowy >,
it [is] an ancient <5769 <owlam > nation <1471 gowy >, a nation
<1471 gowy > whose language <3956 lashown > thou knowest <3045
yada< > not, neither <3808 lo> > understandest < 8085 shama< >
what <4100 mah > they say <1696 dabar >.



16 Their quiver <0827 >ashpah > [is] as an open < 6605 pathach >
sepulchre <6913 qeber >, they [are] all <3605 kol > mighty <1368
gibbowr > men.



17 And they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thine harvest <7105
qatsiyr >, and thy bread <3899 lechem >, [which] thy sons <1121
ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > should eat <0398 >akal >:
they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy flocks <6629 tso>n > and
thine herds <1241 baqar >: they shall eat <0398 >akal > up thy
vines <1612 gephen > and thy fig <8384 t@>en > trees: they shall
impoverish <7567 rashash > thy fenced <4013 mibtsar > cities
<5892 <iyr >, wherein <0834 >aher > thou trustedst <0982 batach

18 Nevertheless <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I will not
make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > with you.



19 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy > ye
shall say <0559 >amar >, Wherefore doeth <6213 < asah > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > all < 3605 kol > these
<0428 >el-leh > [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer <0559

served <5647 <abad > strange <5236 nekar > gods <0430 >elohiym >
in your land <0776 >erets >, so <3651 ken > shall ye serve <5647
<abad > strangers <2114 zuwr > in a land <0776 > erets > [that
is] not yours.



20. Declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > in the house <1004
bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and publish < 8085 shama< > it
in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



21 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > this <2063 zo>th >, O
foolish <5530 cakal > people <5971 <am >, and without <0369
>ayin > understanding <3820 leb >; which have eyes <5869 <ayin >,
and see <7200 ra>ah > not; which have ears <0241 > ozen >, and
hear <8085 shama< > not:



22 Fear <3372 yare> > ye not me? saith <5002 n@> um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >: will ye not tremble <2342 chuwl > at my
presence <6440 paniym >, which <0834 >aher > have placed <0776

of the sea <3220 yam > by a perpetual <5769 <owlam > decree
<2706 choq >, that it cannot <3201 yakol > pass < 5674 <abar > it:
and though the waves <1530 gal > thereof toss <1607 ga<ash >
themselves, yet can they not prevail <3201 yakol >; though they
roar <1993 hamah >, yet can <3201 yakol > they not pass <5674
<abar > over <5674 <abar > it?



23 But this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath a revolting
<5637 carar > and a rebellious <4784 marah > heart <3820 leb >;
they are revolted <5498 cachab > and gone <3212 yalak >.



24 Neither <3808 lo> > say <0559 >amar > they in their heart
<3824 lebab >, Let us now <4994 na> > fear < 3372 yare> > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >, that giveth <5414
nathan > rain <1653 geshem >, both the former <3138 yowreh > and
the latter <4456 malqowsh >, in his season <6256 <eth >: he
reserveth <8104 shamar > unto us the appointed <2708 chuqqah >
weeks <7620 shabuwa< > of the harvest <7105 qatsiyr >.



25. Your iniquities <5771 <avon > have turned <5186 natah >
away these <0428 >el-leh > [things], and your sins < 2403
chatta>ah > have withholden <4513 mana< > good < 2896 towb >
[things] from you.



26 For among my people <5971 <am > are found <4672 matsa> >
wicked <7563 rasha< > [men]: they lay wait <7789 shuwr >, as he
that setteth <7918 shakak > snares <3353 yaquwsh >; they set
<5324 natsab > a trap <4889 mashchiyth >, they catch <3920 lakad

27 As a cage <3619 k@lub > is full <4392 male> > of birds <5775
<owph >, so <3651 ken > [are] their houses <1004 bayith > full
<4392 male> > of deceit <4820 mirmah >: therefore they are
become <6238 <ashar > great <1431 gadal >, and waxen rich <6238

28 They are waxen fat <8080 shaman >, they shine <6245 <ashath

dabar > of the wicked <7451 ra< >: they judge < 1777 diyn > not
the cause <1779 diyn >, the cause of the fatherless < 3490
yathowm >, yet they prosper <6743 tsalach >; and the right <4941
mishpat > of the needy <34> do they not judge <8199 shaphat >.



29 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 > el-leh >
[things]? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: shall
not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such
<0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this?



30 A wonderful <8047 shammah > and horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah >
thing is committed <1961 hayah > in the land <0776 > erets >;



31 The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely
<8267 sheqer >, and the priests <3548 kohen > bear <7287 radah >
rule <7287 radah > by their means <3027 yad >; and my people

what <4100 mah > will ye do <6213 <asah > in the end <0319

Jeremiah 6



1. O ye children <1121 ben > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >,
gather <5756 <uwz > yourselves to flee <5756 <uwz > out of the
midst <7130 qereb > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and blow
<8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > in Tekoa <8620
T@qowa< >, and set <5375 nasa> > up a sign < 4864 mas>eth > of
fire in Bethhaccerem <1021 Beyth hak-Kerem >: for evil < 7451 ra<

and great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >.



2 I have likened <1819 damah > the daughter <1323 bath > of
Zion <6726 Tsiyown > to a comely <5000 na>veh > and delicate
<6026 <anag > [woman].



3 The shepherds <7462 ra<ah > with their flocks < 5739 <eder >
shall come <0935 bow> > unto her; they shall pitch < 8628 taqa< >
[their] tents <0168 >ohel > against <5921 <al > her round <5439
cabiyb > about; they shall feed <7462 ra<ah > every <0376 >iysh

4 Prepare <6942 qadash > ye war <4421 milchamah > against <5921

noon <6672 tsohar >. Woe <0188 >owy > unto us! for the day <3117
yowm > goeth <6437 panah > away, for the shadows < 6752 tselel >

5 Arise <6965 quwm >, and let us go <5927 <alah > by night
<3915 layil >, and let us destroy <7843 shachath > her palaces
<0759 >armown >.



6 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > said <0559 >amar >, Hew <3772 karath > ye down
trees <6097 <etsah >, and cast <8210 shaphak > a mount <5550
col@lah > against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >:
this <1931 huw> > [is] the city <5892 <iyr > to be visited <6485
paqad >; she [is] wholly <3605 kol > oppression <6233 <osheq >
in the midst <7130 qereb > of her.



7 As a fountain <0953 bowr > casteth <6979 quwr > out her
waters <4325 mayim >, so <3651 ken > she casteth < 6979 quwr >
out her wickedness <7451 ra< >: violence <2555 chamac > and
spoil <7701 shod > is heard <8085 shama< > in her; before me
continually <8548 tamiyd > [is] grief <2483 choliy > and wounds
<4347 makkah >.



8 Be thou instructed <3256 yacar >, O Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, lest <6435 pen > my soul <5315 nephesh > depart
<3363 yaqa< > from thee; lest <6435 pen > I make <7760 suwm >
thee desolate <8077 sh@mamah >, a land <0776 >erets > not
inhabited <3427 yashab >.



9. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<alal > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

10 To whom <4310 miy > shall I speak <1696 dabar >, and give
warning <5749 <uwd >, that they may hear <8085 shama< >? behold
<2009 hinneh >, their ear <0241 >ozen > [is] uncircumcised <6189
<arel >, and they cannot hearken <7181 qashab >: behold <2009
hinneh >, the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is
unto them a reproach <2781 cherpah >; they have no <3808 lo> >
delight <2654 chaphets > in it.



11 Therefore I am full <4392 male> > of the fury < 2534 chemah >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I am weary <3811 la>ah > with
holding <3557 kuwl > in: I will pour <8210 shaphak > it out upon
the children <5768 <owlel > abroad <2351 chuwts >, and upon the
assembly <5475 cowd > of young <0970 bachuwr > men together
<3162 yachad >: for even <1571 gam > the husband < 0376 >iysh >
with the wife <0802 >ishshah > shall be taken <3920 lakad >, the
aged <2205 zaqen > with [him that is] full <4390 male> > of days
<3117 yowm >.



12 And their houses <1004 bayith > shall be turned < 5437 cabab

and wives <0802 >ishshah > together <3162 yachad >: for I will
stretch <5186 natah > out my hand <3027 yad > upon the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



13 For from the least <6996 qatan > of them even unto the
greatest <1419 gadowl > of them every <3605 kol > one [is] given
to covetousness <1215 betsa< >; and from the prophet < 5030
nabiy> > even unto the priest <3548 kohen > every < 3605 kol >
one dealeth <6213 <asah > falsely <8267 sheqer >.



14 They have healed <7495 rapha> > also the hurt < 7667 sheber >
[of the daughter] of my people <5971 <am > slightly < 7043 qalal

shalowm >; when [there is] no <0369 >ayin > peace < 7965 shalowm

15 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had
committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >? nay <1571
gam >, they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh >, neither could
<3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam >: therefore <3651 ken >
they shall fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall < 5307 naphal

they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782 kashal >, saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



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

<5315 nephesh >. But they said <0559 >amar >, We will not walk
<3212 yalak > [therein].



17 Also I set <6965 quwm > watchmen <6822 tsaphah > over <5921

18. Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< >, ye nations <1471
gowy >, and know <3045 yada< >, O congregation < 5712 <edah >,
what [is] among them.



19 Hear <8085 shama< >, O earth <0776 >erets >: behold <2009
hinneh >, I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, [even] the fruit <6529 p@riy >
of their thoughts <4284 machashabah >, because they have not
hearkened <7181 qashab > unto my words <1697 dabar >, nor to my
law <8451 towrah >, but rejected <3988 ma>ac > it.



20 To what <4100 mah > purpose cometh <0935 bow> > there to me
incense <3828 l@bownah > from Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >, and the
sweet <2896 towb > cane <7070 qaneh > from a far < 4801 merchaq >
country <0776 >erets >? your burnt <5930 <olah > offerings [are]
not acceptable <7522 ratsown >, nor <3808 lo> > your sacrifices
<2077 zebach > sweet <6147 <Er > unto me.



21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will lay <5414
nathan > stumblingblocks <4383 mikshowl > before < 0413 >el >
this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, and the fathers <1> and the

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

23 They shall lay hold <2388 chazaq > on bow <7198 qesheth >
and spear <3591 kiydown >; they [are] cruel <0394 > akzariy >,
and have no <3808 lo> > mercy <7355 racham >; their voice <6963

ride <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc >, set in array <6186

<5921 <al > thee, O daughter <1323 bath > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown

24 We have heard <8085 shama< > the fame <8089 shoma< > thereof:
our hands <3027 yad > wax feeble <7503 raphah >: anguish <6869

26 O daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >, gird <2296

27 I have set <5414 nathan > thee [for] a tower <0969 bachown>

that thou mayest know <3045 yada< > and try <0974 bachan > their

28 They [are] all <3605 kol > grievous <5493 cuwr > revolters

they [are] all <3605 kol > corrupters <7843 shachath > .



29 The bellows <4647 mappuach > are burned <2787 charar >, the

30 Reprobate <3988 ma>ac > silver <3701 keceph > shall [men]

Jeremiah 7



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559
>amar >,



2 Stand <5975 <amad > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of the LORD'S
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >, and proclaim <7121 qara> >
there <8033 sham > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >, and say
<0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word < 1697 dabar > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > [ye of] Judah <3063

gates <8179 sha<ar > to worship <7812 shachah > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, Amend <3190 yatab > your ways <1870 derek >
and your doings <4611 ma<alal >, and I will cause you to dwell
<7931 shakan > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



4 Trust <0982 batach > ye not in lying <8267 sheqer > words
<1697 dabar >, saying <0559 >amar >, The temple <1964 heykal >

5 For if <0518 >im > ye throughly amend <3190 yatab > your ways

throughly execute <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > between
<0996 beyn > a man <0376 >iysh > and his neighbour <7453 rea< >;



6 [If] ye oppress <6231 <ashaq > not the stranger < 1616 ger >,
the fatherless <3490 yathowm >, and the widow <0490 > almanah >,
and shed <8210 shaphak > not innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818

7 Then will I cause you to dwell <7931 shakan > in this <2088

gave <5414 nathan > to your fathers <1>, for ever < 5769 <owlam >
and ever <5769 <owlam >.



8 Behold <2009 hinneh >, ye trust <0982 batach > in lying <8267
sheqer > words <1697 dabar >, that cannot <1115 biltiy > profit
<3276 ya<al >.



9 Will ye steal <1589 ganab >, murder <7523 ratsach > , and
commit <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph >, and swear <7650
shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >, and burn <6999 qatar > incense
<6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and walk <1980 halak >
after <0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >
whom <0834 >aher > ye know <3045 yada< > not;



10 And come <0935 bow> > and stand <5975 <amad > before <6440
paniym > me in this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, which
<0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >,
and say <0559 >amar >, We are delivered <5337 natsal > to do
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 > el-leh > abominations
<8441 tow<ebah >?



11 Is this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher

have seen <7200 ra>ah > [it], saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

12 But go <3212 yalak > ye now <4994 na> > unto my place <4725
maqowm > which <0834 >aher > [was] in Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >,
where I set <7931 shakan > my name <8034 shem > at the first

to it for the wickedness <7451 ra< > of my people < 5971 <am >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



13 And now <4994 na> >, because <3282 ya<an > ye have done
<6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428 > el-leh > works <4639

spake <1696 dabar > unto you, rising <7925 shakam > up early
<7925 shakam > and speaking <1696 dabar >, but ye heard <8085
shama< > not; and I called <7121 qara> > you, but ye answered
<6030 <anah > not;



14 Therefore will I do <6213 <asah > unto [this] house <1004
bayith >, which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by my name
<8034 shem >, wherein <0834 >aher > ye trust < 0982 batach >, and
unto the place <4725 maqowm > which <0834 >aher > I gave <5414
nathan > to you and to your fathers <1>, as I have done <6213
<asah > to Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >.



15 And I will cast <7993 shalak > you out of my sight < 6440

brethren <0251 >ach >, [even <0853 >eth >] the whole <3605 kol >

16. Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this < 2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am >, neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up
cry <7440 rinnah > nor <0408 >al > prayer <8605 t@phillah > for

for I will not hear <8085 shama< > thee.



17 Seest <7200 ra>ah > thou not what <4100 mah > they do <6213
<asah > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah > and
in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >?



18 The children <1121 ben > gather <3950 laqat > wood <6086
<ets >, and the fathers <1> kindle <1197 ba<ar > the fire <0784

[their] dough <1217 batseq >, to make <6213 <asah > cakes <3561

<5262 necek > unto other <0312 >acher > gods < 0430 >elohiym >,
that they may provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >.



19 Do they provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >? saith < 5002 n@>um

to the confusion <1322 bosheth > of their own faces < 6440 paniym

20 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; Behold <2009
hinneh >, mine anger <0639 >aph > and my fury < 2534 chemah >
shall be poured <5413 nathak > out upon this <2088 zeh > place
<4725 maqowm >, upon man <0120 >adam >, and upon beast <0929

quenched <3518 kabah >.



21. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<3478 Yisra>el >; Put <5595 caphah > your burnt <5930 <olah >
offerings unto your sacrifices <2077 zebach >, and eat < 0398

22 For I spake <1696 dabar > not unto your fathers < 1>, nor
<3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them in the day <3117 yowm

<olah > offerings or sacrifices <2077 zebach >:



23 But this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar > commanded <6680
tsavah > I them, saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my
voice <6963 qowl >, and I will be your God <0430 > elohiym >, and
ye shall be my people <5971 <am >: and walk <1980 halak > ye in
all <3605 kol > the ways <1870 derek > that I have commanded
<6680 tsavah > you, that it may be well <3190 yatab > unto you.



24 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> >
inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212
yalak > in the counsels <4156 mow<etsah > [and] in the
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart
<3820 leb >, and went <1961 hayah > backward <0268 >achowr >,
and not forward <6440 paniym >.



25 Since <4480 min > the day <3117 yowm > that your fathers <1>
came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776

<3117 yowm > I have even sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605

daily <3117 yowm > rising <7925 shakam > up early < 7925 shakam >

26 Yet they hearkened <8085 shama< > not unto me, nor <3808 lo>

<7185 qashah > their neck <6202 <araph >: they did worse <7489

27 Therefore thou shalt speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol >
these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > unto them; but they
will not hearken <8085 shama< > to thee: thou shalt also call
<7121 qara> > unto them; but they will not answer < 6030 <anah >
thee.



28 But thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, This < 2088 zeh >
[is] a nation <1471 gowy > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the
voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430

<4148 muwcar >: truth <0530 >emuwnah > is perished <6>, and is
cut <3772 karath > off from their mouth <6310 peh >.



29. Cut <1494 gazaz > off thine hair <5145 nezer >, [O
Jerusalem], and cast <7993 shalak > [it] away, and take < 5375
nasa> > up a lamentation <7015 qiynah > on <5921 <al > high

rejected <3988 ma>ac > and forsaken <5203 natash > the
generation <1755 dowr > of his wrath <5678 <ebrah > .



30 For the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have
done <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869 <ayin >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: they have set
<7760 suwm > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts > in the house
<1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called < 7121 qara> > by my
name <8034 shem >, to pollute <2930 tame> > it.



31 And they have built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah >
places of Tophet <8612 Topheth >, which <0834 >aher > [is] in
the valley <1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom <2011
Hinnom >, to burn <8313 saraph > their sons <1121 ben > and
their daughters <1121 ben > in the fire <0784 >esh >; which
<0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > [them] not, neither
<3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah > it into <5921 <al > my heart
<3820 leb >.



32 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

<1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom < 2011 Hinnom >,
but the valley <1516 gay> > of slaughter <2028 haregah >: for
they shall bury <6912 qabar > in Tophet <8612 Topheth >, till
there be no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm >.



33 And the carcases <5038 n@belah > of this <2088 zeh > people
<5971 <am > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal > for the fowls <5775

b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >; and none < 0369 >ayin >
shall fray <2729 charad > [them] away.



34 Then will I cause to cease <7673 shabath > from the cities
<5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and from the streets
<2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the voice

of gladness <8057 simchah >, the voice <6963 qowl > of the
bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of the
bride <3618 kallah >: for the land <0776 >erets > shall be
desolate <2723 chorbah >.



Jeremiah 8



1. At that time <6256 <eth >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

back <7725 shuwb > by a perpetual <5331 netsach > backsliding
<4878 m@shuwbah >? they hold <2388 chazaq > fast deceit <8649
tormah >, they refuse <3985 ma>en > to return < 7725 shuwb >.



6 I hearkened <8085 shama< > and heard <8085 shama< >, [but]
they spake <1696 dabar > not aright <3651 ken >: no <0369 >ayin
> man <0376 >iysh > repented <5162 nacham > him of his
wickedness <7451 ra< >, saying <0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah >
have I done <6213 <asah >? every <3605 kol > one turned <7725
shuwb > to his course <4794 m@ruwtsah >, as the horse <5483 cuwc
> rusheth <7857 shataph > into the battle <4421 milchamah >.



7 Yea <1571 gam >, the stork <2624 chaciydah > in the heaven
<8064 shamayim > knoweth <3045 yada< > her appointed <4150
mow<ed > times <6256 <eth >; and the turtle < 8449 towr > and the
crane <5483 cuwc > and the swallow <5693 <aguwr > observe <8104
shamar > the time <6256 <eth > of their coming < 0935 bow> >; but
my people <5971 <am > know <3045 yada< > not the judgment <4941
mishpat > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



8 How <0349 >eyk > do ye say <0559 >amar >, We [are] wise <2450
chakam >, and the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
[is] with us? Lo <2009 hinneh >, certainly <0403 > aken > in vain
<8267 sheqer > made <6213 <asah > he [it]; the pen <5842 <et >
of the scribes <5608 caphar > [is] in vain <8267 sheqer >.



9 The wise <2450 chakam > [men] are ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they
are dismayed <2865 chathath > and taken: lo <2009 hinneh >, they
have rejected <3988 ma>ac > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >; and what <4100 mah > wisdom <2451 chokmah >
[is] in them?



10 Therefore <3651 ken > will I give <5414 nathan > their wives
<0802 >ishshah > unto others <0312 >acher >, [and] their fields
<7704 sadeh > to them that shall inherit <3423 yarash > [them]:
for every <3605 kol > one from the least <6996 qatan > even unto
the greatest <1419 gadowl > is given to covetousness < 1215
betsa< >, from the prophet <5030 nabiy> > even unto the priest
<3548 kohen > every <3605 kol > one dealeth <6213 <asah >
falsely <8267 sheqer >.



11 For they have healed <7495 rapha> > the hurt < 7667 sheber >
of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am > slightly
<7043 qalal >, saying <0559 >amar >, Peace < 7965 shalowm >,
peace <7965 shalowm >; when [there is] no <0369 >ayin > peace
<7965 shalowm >.



12 Were they ashamed <0954 buwsh > when <3588 kiy > they had
committed <6213 <asah > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >? nay <1571
gam >, they were not at all ashamed <0954 buwsh >, neither <3808
lo> > could <3045 yada< > they blush <3637 kalam >: therefore
<3651 ken > shall they fall <5307 naphal > among them that fall
<5307 naphal >: in the time <6256 <eth > of their visitation
<6486 p@quddah > they shall be cast <3782 kashal > down <3782
kashal >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



13. I will surely consume <5486 cuwph > them, saith < 5002 n@>um
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: [there shall be] no <0369 >ayin >
grapes <6025 <enab > on the vine <1612 gephen >, nor <0369 >ayin
> figs <8384 t@>en > on the fig <8384 t@>en > tree, and the leaf
<5929 <aleh > shall fade <5034 nabel >; and [the things that] I
have given <5414 nathan > them shall pass <5674 <abar > away
from them.



14 Why do we sit <3427 yashab > still? assemble <0622 >acaph >
yourselves, and let us enter <0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the
defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr >, and let us be
silent <1826 damam > there <8033 sham >: for the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > hath put us to silence <1826
damam >, and given us water <4325 mayim > of gall < 7219 ro>sh >
to drink <8248 shaqah >, because <3588 kiy > we have sinned
<2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



15 We looked <6960 qavah > for peace <7965 shalowm >, but no
<0369 >ayin > good <2896 towb > [came; and] for a time <6256
<eth > of health <4832 marpe> >, and behold < 2009 hinneh >
trouble <1205 b@<athah >!



16 The snorting <5170 nachar > of his horses <5483 cuwc > was
heard <8085 shama< > from Dan <1835 Dan >: the whole <3605 kol >
land <0776 >erets > trembled <7493 ra<ash > at the sound <6963
qowl > of the neighing <4684 matshalah > of his strong <47> ones;
for they are come <0935 bow> >, and have devoured < 0398 >akal >
the land <0776 >erets >, and all <4393 m@lo> > that is in it;
the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that dwell <3427 yashab >
therein.



17 For, behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach >
serpents <5175 nachash >, cockatrices <6848 tsepha< >, among you,
which <0834 >aher > [will] not [be] charmed <3908 lachash >,
and they shall bite <5391 nashak > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



18 [When] I would comfort <4010 mabliygiyth > myself against
sorrow <3015 yagown >, my heart <3820 leb > [is] faint <1742
davvay > in me.



19 Behold <2009 hinneh > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cry
<7775 shav<ah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971
<am > because of them that dwell in a far <4801 merchaq >
country <0776 >erets >: [Is] not the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in
Zion <6726 Tsiyown >? [is] not her king <4428 melek > in her?
Why <4069 madduwa< > have they provoked me to anger < 3707 ka<ac
> with their graven <6456 p@ciyl > images, [and] with strange
<5236 nekar > vanities <1892 hebel >?



20 The harvest <7105 qatsiyr > is past <5674 <abar >, the
summer <7019 qayits > is ended <3615 kalah >, and we are not
saved <3467 yasha< >.



21 For the hurt <7667 sheber > of the daughter <1323 bath > of
my people <5971 <am > am I hurt <7665 shabar >; I am black <6937
qadar >; astonishment <8047 shammah > hath taken < 2388 chazaq >
hold <2388 chazaq > on me.



22 [Is there] no <0369 >ayin > balm <6875 ts@riy > in Gilead
<1568 Gil<ad >; [is there] no <0369 >ayin > physician <7495
rapha> > there? why <4069 madduwa< > then <3588 kiy > is not the
health <0724 >aruwkah > of the daughter <1323 bath > of my
people <5971 <am > recovered <5927 <alah >?



Jeremiah 9



1. Oh that my head <7218 ro>sh > were waters <4325 mayim >, and
mine eyes <5869 <ayin > a fountain <4726 maqowr > of tears <1832
dim<ah >, that I might weep <1058 bakah > day < 3119 yowmam > and
night <3915 layil > for the slain <2491 chalal > of the daughter
<1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >!



2 Oh that I had in the wilderness <4057 midbar > a lodging
<4411 malown > place of wayfaring <0732 >arach > men; that I
might leave <5800 <azab > my people <5971 <am >, and go <3212
yalak > from them! for they [be] all <3605 kol > adulterers
<5003 na>aph >, an assembly <6116 <atsarah > of treacherous
<0898 bagad > men.



3 And they bend <1869 darak > their tongues <3956 lashown >
[like] their bow <7198 qesheth > [for] lies <8267 sheqer >: but
they are not valiant <1396 gabar > for the truth <0530 >emuwnah

from evil <7451 ra< > to evil <7451 ra< >, and they know <3045
yada< > not me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >.



4 Take ye heed <8104 shamar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376
>iysh > of his neighbour <7453 rea< >, and trust <0982 batach >
ye not in any <3605 kol > brother <0251 >ach >: for every <3605
kol > brother <0251 >ach > will utterly supplant < 6117 <aqab >,
and every <3605 kol > neighbour <7453 rea< > will walk <1980
halak > with slanders <7400 rakiyl >.



5 And they will deceive <2048 hathal > every <0376 > iysh > one
<0376 >iysh > his neighbour <7453 rea< >, and will not speak
<1696 dabar > the truth <0571 >emeth >: they have taught <3925
lamad > their tongue <3956 lashown > to speak <1696 dabar > lies
<8267 sheqer >, [and] weary <3811 la>ah > themselves to commit
<5753 <avah > iniquity <5753 <avah >.



6 Thine habitation <3427 yashab > [is] in the midst < 8432 tavek

refuse <3985 ma>en > to know <3045 yada< > me, saith <5002 n@>um

7 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Behold <2005
hen >, I will melt <6884 tsaraph > them, and try < 0974 bachan >
them; for how <0349 >eyk > shall I do <6213 <asah > for the
daughter <1323 bath > of my people <5971 <am >?



8 Their tongue <3956 lashown > [is as] an arrow <2671 chets >
shot <7819 shachat > out; it speaketh <1696 dabar > deceit <4820
mirmah >: [one] speaketh <1696 dabar > peaceably < 7965 shalowm >
to his neighbour <7453 rea< > with his mouth <6310 peh >, but in
heart <7130 qereb > he layeth <7760 suwm > his wait <0696 >oreb

9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > them for these <0428 >el-leh

not my soul <5315 nephesh > be avenged <5358 naqam > on such
<0834 >aher > a nation <1471 gowy > as this < 2088 zeh >?



10 For the mountains <2022 har > will I take <5375 nasa> > up a
weeping <1065 B@kiy > and wailing <5092 n@hiy >, and for the
habitations <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > a
lamentation <7015 qiynah >, because <3588 kiy > they are burned
<3341 yatsath > up, so that none can <3201 yakol > pass <5674
<abar > through [them]; neither <3808 lo> > can <3201 yakol >
[men] hear <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the cattle
<4735 miqneh >; both the fowl <5775 <owph > of the heavens <8064
shamayim > and the beast <0929 b@hemah > are fled < 5074 nadad >;
they are gone <1980 halak >.



11 And I will make <5414 nathan > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim
> heaps <1530 gal >, [and] a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577
tanniyn >; and I will make <5414 nathan > the cities < 5892 <iyr

<1097 b@liy > an inhabitant <3427 yashab >.



12. Who <4310 miy > [is] the wise <2450 chakam > man <0376
>iysh >, that may understand <0995 biyn > this < 2063 zo>th >?
and [who is he] to whom <0834 >aher > the mouth <6310 peh > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >, that he may
declare <5046 nagad > it, for what <4100 mah > the land <0776
>erets > perisheth <6> [and] is burned <3341 yatsath > up like a
wilderness <4057 midbar >, that none <1997 Hamownah > passeth
<5674 <abar > through?



13 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > saith <0559 >amar >, Because
<5921 <al > they have forsaken <5800 <azab > my law <8451 towrah

them, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > my voice < 6963 qowl >,
neither <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > therein;



14 But have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > the
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of their own heart <3820 leb >,
and after <0310 >achar > Baalim <1168 Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher

15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold < 2005 hen >, I
will feed <0398 >akal > them, [even] this <2088 zeh > people
<5971 <am >, with wormwood <3939 la<anah >, and give them water
<4325 mayim > of gall <7219 ro>sh > to drink < 8248 shaqah >.



16 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them also among the heathen
<1471 gowy >, whom <0834 >aher > neither <3808 lo> > they nor
their fathers <1> have known <3045 yada< >: and I will send
<7971 shalach > a sword <2719 chereb > after <0310 >achar > them,
till <5704 <ad > I have consumed <3615 kalah > them.



17 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Consider <0995 biyn > ye, and call
<7121 qara> > for the mourning <6969 quwn > women, that they may
come <0935 bow> >; and send <7971 shalach > for cunning <2450
chakam > [women], that they may come <0935 bow> >:



18 And let them make haste <4116 mahar >, and take < 5375 nasa>

may run <3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah >, and our
eyelids <6079 <aph<aph > gush <5140 nazal > out with waters
<4325 mayim >.



19 For a voice <6963 qowl > of wailing <5092 n@hiy > is heard
<8085 shama< > out of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, How <0349 >eyk > are
we spoiled <7703 shadad >! we are greatly <3966 m@<od >
confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have forsaken
<5800 <azab > the land <0776 >erets >, because <3588 kiy > our
dwellings <4908 mishkan > have cast <7993 shalak > [us] out.



20 Yet <3588 kiy > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, O ye women <0802 > ishshah >, and
let your ear <0241 >ozen > receive <3947 laqach > the word <1697
dabar > of his mouth <6310 peh >, and teach <3925 lamad > your
daughters <1121 ben > wailing <5092 n@hiy >, and every <0802
>ishshah > one her neighbour <7468 r@<uwth > lamentation <7015
qiynah >.



21 For death <4194 maveth > is come <5927 <alah > up into our
windows <2474 challown >, [and] is entered <0935 bow> > into our
palaces <0759 >armown >, to cut <3772 karath > off the children
<5768 <owlel > from without <2351 chuwts >, [and] the young
<0970 bachuwr > men from the streets <7339 r@chob >.



22 Speak <1696 dabar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith < 5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Even the carcases <5038 n@belah > of
men <0120 >adam > shall fall <5307 naphal > as dung <1828 domen

handful <5995 <amiyr > after <0310 >achar > the harvestman <7114
qatsar >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall gather < 0622 >acaph >
[them].



23. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
>, Let not the wise <2450 chakam > [man] glory <1984 halal > in
his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, neither <0408 >al > let the mighty

24 But let him that glorieth <1984 halal > glory <1984 halal >
in this <2063 zo>th >, that he understandeth <7919 sakal > and
knoweth <3045 yada< > me, that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
which exercise <6213 <asah > lovingkindness <2617 checed >,
judgment <4941 mishpat >, and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, in

I delight <2654 chaphets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



25 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

punish <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > [them which are]
circumcised <4135 muwl > with the uncircumcised <6190 <orlah >;



26 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and
Edom <0123 >Edom >, and the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983

Jeremiah 10



1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > which <0834
>aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > speaketh <1696 dabar > unto you,
O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:



2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
Learn <3925 lamad > not the way <1870 derek > of the heathen
<1471 gowy >, and be not dismayed <2865 chathath > at the signs
<0226 >owth > of heaven <8064 shamayim >; for the heathen <1471
gowy > are dismayed <2865 chathath > at them.



3 For the customs <2708 chuqqah > of the people <5971 <am >
[are] vain <1892 hebel >: for [one] cutteth <3772 karath > a
tree <6086 <ets > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar >, the work
<4639 ma<aseh > of the hands <3027 yad > of the workman <2796
charash >, with the axe <4621 ma<atsad >.



4 They deck <3302 yaphah > it with silver <3701 keceph > and
with gold <2091 zahab >; they fasten <2388 chazaq > it with
nails <4548 macmer > and with hammers <4717 maqqabah > , that it
move <6328 puwq > not.



5 They [are] upright <4749 miqshah > as the palm <8560 tomer >
tree, but speak <1696 dabar > not: they must needs be borne
<5375 nasa> >, because <3588 kiy > they cannot < 3808 lo> > go
<6805 tsa<ad >. Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of them; for they
cannot <3808 lo> > do evil <7489 ra<a< >, neither also <1571 gam

6 Forasmuch as [there is] none <0369 >ayin > like < 3644 k@mow >

<1369 g@buwrah >.



7 Who <4310 miy > would not fear <3372 yare> > thee, O King
<4428 melek > of nations <1471 gowy >? for to thee doth it
appertain <2969 ya>ah >: forasmuch as among all <3605 kol > the
wise <2450 chakam > [men] of the nations <1471 gowy >, and in
all <3605 kol > their kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, [there is] none
<0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > unto thee.



8 But they are altogether <0259 >echad > brutish < 1197 ba<ar >
and foolish <3688 kacal >: the stock <6086 <ets > [is] a
doctrine <4148 muwcar > of vanities <1892 hebel >.



9 Silver <3701 keceph > spread <7554 raqa< > into plates is
brought <0935 bow> > from Tarshish <8659 Tarshiysh >, and gold
<2091 zahab > from Uphaz <0210 >Uwphaz >, the work <4639 ma<aseh

of the founder <6884 tsaraph >: blue <8504 t@keleth > and purple
<0713 >argaman > [is] their clothing <3830 l@buwsh >: they [are]
all <3605 kol > the work <4639 ma<aseh > of cunning <2450 chakam

10 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] the true <0571 > emeth >
God <0430 >elohiym >, he [is] the living <2416 chay > God <0430
>elohiym >, and an everlasting <5769 <owlam > king <4428 melek >:
at his wrath <7110 qetseph > the earth <0776 >erets > shall
tremble <7493 ra<ash >, and the nations <1471 gowy > shall not
be able <3201 yakol > to abide <3557 kuwl > his indignation
<2195 za<am >.



11 Thus <1836 den > shall ye say <0560 >amar > unto them, The
gods <0426 >elahh > that have not made <5648 <abad > the heavens
<8065 shamayin > and the earth <0778 >araq >, [even] they shall
perish <7> from the earth <0772 >ara< >, and from under <8460
t@chowth > these <0429 >elleh > heavens <8065 shamayin >.



12 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 > erets > by his
power <3581 koach >, he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world
<8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched
<5186 natah > out the heavens <8064 shamayim > by his discretion
<8394 tabuwn >.



13 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > his voice <6963 qowl >,
[there is] a multitude <1995 hamown > of waters <4325 mayim > in
the heavens <8064 shamayim >, and he causeth the vapours <5387
nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah > from the ends < 7097 qatseh > of
the earth <0776 >erets >; he maketh <6213 <asah > lightnings
<1300 baraq > with rain <4306 matar >, and bringeth <3318 yatsa>

treasures <0214 >owtsar >.



14 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar >
in [his] knowledge <1847 da<ath >: every <3605 kol > founder
<6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459
pecel > image <6459 pecel >: for his molten <5262 necek > image
[is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there is] no <3808 lo> >
breath <7307 ruwach > in them.



15 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, [and] the work < 4639
ma<aseh > of errors <8595 ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of
their visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish < 6>.



16 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not
like them: for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all < 3605
kol > [things]; and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [is] the rod <7626
shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah >: The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name < 8034 shem >.



17. Gather <0622 >acaph > up thy wares <3666 kin< ah > out of
the land <0776 >erets >, O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of the
fortress <4693 matsowr >.



18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will sling <7049 qala< > out
the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 > erets > at
this <2063 zo>th > once <6471 pa<am >, and will distress <6887
tsarar > them, that they may find <4672 matsa> > [it so].



19 Woe <0188 >owy > is me for my hurt <7667 sheber >! my wound
<4347 makkah > is grievous <2470 chalah >: but I said <0559
>amar >, Truly <0389 >ak > this <2088 zeh > [is] a grief <2483
choliy >, and I must bear <5375 nasa> > it.



20 My tabernacle <0168 >ohel > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and
all <3605 kol > my cords <4340 meythar > are broken <5423 nathaq

<5750 <owd >, and to set <6965 quwm > up my curtains <3407
y@riy<ah >.



21 For the pastors <7462 ra<ah > are become <1197 ba<ar >
brutish <1197 ba<ar >, and have not sought <1875 darash > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: therefore they shall not prosper < 7919
sakal >, and all <3605 kol > their flocks <4830 mir<iyth > shall
be scattered <6327 puwts >.



22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the noise <6963 qowl > of the bruit
<8052 sh@muw<ah > is come <0935 bow> >, and a great <1419 gadowl

country <0776 >erets >, to make <7760 suwm > the cities <5892
<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > desolate <8077 sh@mamah >,
[and] a den <4583 ma<own > of dragons <8577 tanniyn >.



23 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, I know <3045 yada< > that the way
<1870 derek > of man <0120 >adam > [is] not in himself: [it is]
not in man that walketh <1980 halak > to direct <3559 kuwn > his
steps <6806 tsa<ad >.



24 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, correct <3256 yacar > me, but with
judgment <4941 mishpat >; not in thine anger <0639 > aph >, lest
<6435 pen > thou bring me to nothing <4591 ma<at >.



25 Pour <8210 shaphak > out thy fury <2534 chemah > upon the
heathen <1471 gowy > that know <3045 yada< > thee not, and upon
the families <4940 mishpachah > that call <7121 qara> > not on
thy name <8034 shem >: for they have eaten <0398 > akal > up
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and devoured <0398 >akal > him, and
consumed <3615 kalah > him, and have made his habitation <5116
naveh > desolate <8074 shamem >.



Jeremiah 11



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559
>amar >,



2 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088
zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto the
men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;



3 And say <0559 >amar > thou unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God < 0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376
>iysh > that obeyeth <8085 shama< > not the words <1697 dabar >
of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285 b@riyth >,



4 Which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > your fathers
<1> in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <3318 yatsa> > them
forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt
<4714 Mitsrayim >, from the iron <1270 barzel > furnace <3564
kuwr >, saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963
qowl >, and do <6213 <asah > them, according to all <3605 kol >
which <0834 >aher > I command <6680 tsavah > you: so shall ye be
my people <5971 <am >, and I will be your God <0430 >elohiym >:



5 That I may perform <6965 quwm > the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah >
which <0834 >aher > I have sworn <7650 shaba< > unto your
fathers <1>, to give <5414 nathan > them a land < 0776 >erets >
flowing <2100 zuwb > with milk <2461 chalab > and honey <1706
d@bash >, as [it is] this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >. Then
answered <6030 <anah > I, and said <0559 >amar > , So <0543 >amen

6 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,
Proclaim <7121 qara> > all <3605 kol > these < 0428 >el-leh >
words <1697 dabar > in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the
words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant < 1285 b@riyth >,
and do <6213 <asah > them.



7 For I earnestly protested <5749 <uwd > unto your fathers <1>
in the day <3117 yowm > [that] I brought <5927 <alah > them up
out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >,
[even] unto this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >, rising <7925
shakam > early <7925 shakam > and protesting <5749 <uwd >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Obey <8085 shama< > my voice <6963 qowl >.



8 Yet they obeyed <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> > inclined
<5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen >, but walked <3212 yalak >
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > in the imagination <8307
sh@riyruwth > of their evil <7451 ra< > heart < 3820 leb >:
therefore I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them all < 3605 kol >
the words <1697 dabar > of this <2088 zeh > covenant <1285
b@riyth >, which <0834 >aher > I commanded <6680 tsavah > [them]
to do <6213 <asah >; but they did <6213 <asah > [them] not.



9 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, A
conspiracy <7195 qesher > is found <4672 matsa> > among the men
<0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and among the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



10 They are turned <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb > to the
iniquities <5771 <avon > of their forefathers, which < 0834 >aher
> refused <3985 ma>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697
dabar >; and they went <1980 halak > after <0310 > achar > other
<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > to serve <5647 <abad > them:
the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and the
house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have broken <6565
parar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834 > aher > I made
<3772 karath > with their fathers <1>.



11. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935
bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon them, which <0834 >aher > they
shall not be able <3201 yakol > to escape <3318 yatsa> >; and
though they shall cry <2199 za<aq > unto me, I will not hearken
<8085 shama< > unto them.



12 Then shall the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >
and inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
go <1980 halak >, and cry <2199 za<aq > unto the gods <0430
>elohiym > unto whom they offer incense <6999 qatar >: but they
shall not save <3467 yasha< > them at all in the time <6256 <eth
> of their trouble <7451 ra< >.



13 For [according to] the number <4557 micpar > of thy cities
<5892 <iyr > were thy gods <0430 >elohiym >, O Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >; and [according to] the number <4557 micpar > of the
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > have ye
set <7760 suwm > up altars <4196 mizbeach > to [that] shameful
<1322 bosheth > thing, [even] altars <4196 mizbeach > to burn
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal < 1168 Ba<al >.



14 Therefore pray <6419 palal > not thou for this <2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am >, neither <0408 >al > lift <5375 nasa> > up a
cry <7440 rinnah > or prayer <8605 t@phillah > for them: for I
will not hear <8085 shama< > [them] in the time <6256 <eth >
that they cry <7121 qara> > unto me for their trouble <7451 ra<
>.



15 What <4100 mah > hath my beloved <3039 y@diyd > to do in
mine house <1004 bayith >, [seeing] she hath wrought < 6213 <asah
> lewdness <4209 m@zimmah > with many <7227 rab >, and the holy
<6944 qodesh > flesh <1320 basar > is passed <5674 <abar > from
thee? when <3588 kiy > thou doest evil <7451 ra< >, then <0227
>az > thou rejoicest <5937 <alaz >.



16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > called <7121 qara> > thy name <8034
shem >, A green <7488 ra<anan > olive <2132 zayith > tree, fair
<3303 yapheh >, [and] of goodly fruit <6529 p@riy >: with the
noise <6963 qowl > of a great <1419 gadowl > tumult <1999
hamullah > he hath kindled <3341 yatsath > fire <0784 >esh >
upon it, and the branches <1808 daliyah > of it are broken <7489
ra<a< >.



17 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that
planted <5193 nata< > thee, hath pronounced <1696 dabar > evil
<7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > thee, for the evil <7451 ra< >
of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and of
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <0834
>aher > they have done <6213 <asah > against themselves <1992
hem > to provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac > in offering incense
<6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168 Ba<al >.



18. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given me knowledge <3045
yada< > [of it], and I know <3045 yada< > [it]: then <0227 >az >
thou shewedst <7200 ra>ah > me their doings <4611 ma<alal >.



19 But I [was] like a lamb <3532 kebes > [or] an ox < 0441
>alluwph > [that] is brought <2986 yabal > to the slaughter
<2873 tabach >; and I knew <3045 yada< > not that they had
devised <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against
<5921 <al > me, [saying], Let us destroy <7843 shachath > the
tree <6086 <ets > with the fruit <3899 lechem > thereof, and let
us cut <3772 karath > him off from the land <0776 > erets > of
the living <2416 chay >, that his name <8034 shem > may be no
<3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > remembered < 2142 zakar >.



20 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that
judgest <8199 shaphat > righteously <6664 tsedeq >, that triest
<0974 bachan > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820 leb
>, let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance <5360 n@qamah > on
them: for unto thee have I revealed <1540 galah > my cause <7379
riyb >.



21 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth
<6068 <Anathowth >, that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315
nephesh >, saying <0559 >amar >, Prophesy <5012 naba> > not in
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that thou die
<4191 muwth > not by our hand <3027 yad >:



22 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Behold <2005
hen >, I will punish <6485 paqad > them: the young < 0970 bachuwr

sons <1121 ben > and their daughters <1121 ben > shall die <4191
muwth > by famine <7458 ra<ab >:



23 And there shall be no <3808 lo> > remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >
of them: for I will bring <0935 bow> > evil <7451 ra< > upon the
men <0582 >enowsh > of Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, [even] the
year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.



Jeremiah 12



1. Righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > [art] thou, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<4941 mishpat >: Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > doth the way <1870

[wherefore] are all <3605 kol > they happy <7951 shalah > that
deal very <0899 beged > treacherously <0898 bagad >?



2 Thou hast planted <5193 nata< > them, yea <1571 gam >, they
have taken root <8327 sharash >: they grow <3212 yalak >, yea
<1571 gam >, they bring <6213 <asah > forth < 6213 <asah > fruit
<6529 p@riy >: thou [art] near <7138 qarowb > in their mouth
<6310 peh >, and far <7350 rachowq > from their reins <3629

3 But thou, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, knowest <3045 yada< > me:
thou hast seen <7200 ra>ah > me, and tried <0974 bachan > mine
heart <3820 leb > toward <0854 >eth > thee: pull <5423 nathaq >
them out like sheep <6629 tso>n > for the slaughter < 2873 tabach

slaughter <2028 haregah >.



4 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall the land <0776 >erets

field <7704 sadeh > wither <3001 yabesh >, for the wickedness

beasts <0929 b@hemah > are consumed <5595 caphah >, and the
birds <5775 <owph >; because <3588 kiy > they said <0559 >amar >,
He shall not see <7200 ra>ah > our last <0319 > achariyth > end.



5 If <3588 kiy > thou hast run <7323 ruwts > with the footmen

how <0349 >eyk > canst thou contend <8474 tacharah > with horses

wearied thee], then how <0349 >eyk > wilt thou do < 6213 <asah >
in the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan <3383 Yarden >?



6 For even <1571 gam > thy brethren <0251 >ach >, and the house
<1004 bayith > of thy father <1>, even <1571 gam > they have
dealt treacherously <0898 bagad > with thee; yea <1571 gam >,
they have called <7121 qara> > a multitude <4392 male> > after
<0310 >achar > thee: believe <0539 >aman > them not, though
<3588 kiy > they speak <1696 dabar > fair <2896 towb > words

7. I have forsaken <5800 <azab > mine house <1004 bayith >, I
have left <5203 natash > mine heritage <5159 nachalah >; I have
given <5414 nathan > the dearly beloved <3039 y@diyd > of my
soul <5315 nephesh > into the hand <3709 kaph > of her enemies
<0341 >oyeb >.



8 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah > is unto me as a lion < 0738

9 Mine heritage <5159 nachalah > [is] unto me [as] a speckled

10 Many <7227 rab > pastors <7462 ra<ah > have destroyed <7843
shachath > my vineyard <3754 kerem >, they have trodden <0947

11 They have made <7760 suwm > it desolate <8074 shamem >, [and
being] desolate <8077 sh@mamah > it mourneth <56> unto me; the
whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > is made desolate <8074

12 The spoilers <7703 shadad > are come <0935 bow> > upon all
<3605 kol > high <8205 sh@phiy > places through the wilderness
<4057 midbar >: for the sword <2719 chereb > of the LORD <3068

<7097 qatseh > of the land <0776 >erets >: no < 0369 >ayin >

13 They have sown <2232 zara< > wheat <2406 chittah >, but

themselves to pain <2470 chalah >, [but] shall not profit <3276

anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



14. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > mine evil <7451 ra< >
neighbours <7934 shaken >, that touch <5060 naga< > the
inheritance <5159 nachalah > which <0834 >aher > I have caused
my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to inherit <5157
nachal >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will pluck <5428 nathash > them
out of their land <0127 >adamah >, and pluck <5428 nathash > out
the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > from among
<8432 tavek > them.



15 And it shall come to pass, after <0310 >achar > that I have
plucked <5428 nathash > them out I will return <7725 shuwb >,
and have compassion <7355 racham > on them, and will bring <7725
shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb >, every man <0376 > iysh > to his
heritage <5159 nachalah >, and every man <0376 >iysh > to his
land <0776 >erets >.



16 And it shall come to pass, if <0518 >im > they will
diligently learn <3925 lamad > the ways <1870 derek > of my
people <5971 <am >, to swear <7650 shaba< > by my name <8034
shem >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; as they
taught <3925 lamad > my people <5971 <am > to swear <7650 shaba<

in the midst <8432 tavek > of my people <5971 <am > .



17 But if <0518 >im > they will not obey <8085 shama< >, I will
utterly pluck <5428 nathash > up and destroy <6> that nation
<1471 gowy >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 13



1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> unto me, Go <1980 halak > and get <7069 qanah > thee a linen
<6593 pishteh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, and put < 7760 suwm > it
upon thy loins <4975 mothen >, and put <7760 suwm > it not in
water <4325 mayim >.



2 So I got <7069 qanah > a girdle <0232 >ezowr > according to
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and put
<7760 suwm > [it] on <5921 <al > my loins <4975 mothen >.



3 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time, saying
<0559 >amar >,



4 Take <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232 >ezowr > that thou hast
got <7069 qanah >, which <0834 >aher > [is] upon thy loins <4975
mothen >, and arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak > to Euphrates
<6578 P@rath >, and hide <2934 taman > it there < 8033 sham > in
a hole <5357 naqiyq > of the rock.



5 So I went <3212 yalak >, and hid <2934 taman > it by
Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, as the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > commanded
<6680 tsavah > me.



6 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > many
<7227 rab > days <3117 yowm >, that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
said <0559 >amar > unto me, Arise <6965 quwm >, go <3212 yalak >
to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and take <3947 laqach > the girdle
<0232 >ezowr > from thence <8033 sham >, which < 0834 >aher > I
commanded <6680 tsavah > thee to hide <2934 taman > there <8033
sham >.



7 Then I went <3212 yalak > to Euphrates <6578 P@rath >, and
digged <2658 chaphar >, and took <3947 laqach > the girdle <0232
>ezowr > from the place <4725 maqowm > where I had hid <2934
taman > it: and, behold <2009 hinneh >, the girdle < 0232 >ezowr
> was marred <7843 shachath >, it was profitable < 6743 tsalach >
for nothing.



8 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
After <3602 kakah > this manner <3541 koh > will I mar <7843
shachath > the pride <1347 ga>own > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,
and the great <7227 rab > pride <1347 ga>own > of Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



10 This <2088 zeh > evil <7451 ra< > people < 5971 <am >, which
refuse <3987 me>en > to hear <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar
>, which walk <1980 halak > in the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth
> of their heart <3820 leb >, and walk <1980 halak > after <0310
>achar > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 > elohiym >, to serve
<5647 <abad > them, and to worship <7812 shachah > them, shall
even be as this <2088 zeh > girdle <0232 >ezowr >, which <0834
>aher > is good <6743 tsalach > for nothing.



11 For as the girdle <0232 >ezowr > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to
the loins <4975 mothen > of a man <0376 >iysh >, so <3651 ken >
have I caused to cleave <1692 dabaq > unto me the whole < 3605
kol > house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el > and the
whole <3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; that they might
be unto me for a people <5971 <am >, and for a name < 8034 shem >,
and for a praise <8416 t@hillah >, and for a glory < 8597
tiph>arah >: but they would not hear <8085 shama< > .



12. Therefore thou shalt speak <0559 >amar > unto them this
<2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >; Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 > elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, Every <3605 kol > bottle < 5035 nebel > shall
be filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin >: and they shall
say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Do we not certainly know <3045
yada< > that every <3605 kol > bottle <5035 nebel > shall be
filled <4390 male> > with wine <3196 yayin >?



13 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh
> saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen
>, I will fill <5433 caba> > all <3605 kol > the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of this land <0776 >erets >, even the kings <4428
melek > that sit <3427 yashab > upon David's <1732 David >
throne <3678 kicce> >, and the priests <3548 kohen >, and the
prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and all <3605 kol > the inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, with
drunkenness <7943 shikkarown >.



14 And I will dash <5310 naphats > them one <0376 > iysh >
against <0413 >el > another <0250 >Ezrachiy >, even the fathers
<1> and the sons <1121 ben > together <3162 yachad >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: I will not pity <2550
chamal >, nor <3808 lo> > spare <2347 chuwc >, nor <3808 lo> >
have mercy <7355 racham >, but destroy <7843 shachath > them.



15 Hear <8085 shama< > ye, and give ear <0238 > azan >; be not
proud <1341 ge> >: for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken
<1696 dabar >.



16 Give <5414 nathan > glory <3519 kabowd > to the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, before <2962 terem > he
cause darkness <2821 chashak >, and before <2962 terem > your
feet <7272 regel > stumble <5062 nagaph > upon the dark <5399
nesheph > mountains <2022 har >, and, while ye look < 6960 qavah
> for light <0216 >owr >, he turn <7760 suwm > it into the
shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth >, [and]
make <7896 shiyth > [it] gross <6205 <araphel > darkness <6205
<araphel >.



17 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hear <8085 shama< > it, my
soul <5315 nephesh > shall weep <1058 bakah > in secret <4565
mictar > places for [your] pride <1466 gevah >; and mine eye
<5869 <ayin > shall weep <1830 dama< > sore, and run <3381 yarad

<3068 Y@hovah > flock <5739 <eder > is carried < 7617 shabah >
away captive <7617 shabah >.



18 Say <0559 >amar > unto the king <4428 melek > and to the
queen <1377 g@biyrah >, Humble <8213 shaphel > yourselves, sit
<3427 yashab > down: for your principalities <4761 mar>ashah >
shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >, [even] the crown
<5850 <atarah > of your glory <8597 tiph>arah >.



19 The cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be
shut <5462 cagar > up, and none <0369 >ayin > shall open <6605
pathach > [them]: Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be carried <1540
galah > away captive <1540 galah > all <3605 kol > of it, it
shall be wholly <7965 shalowm > carried <1540 galah > away
captive <1540 galah >.



20 Lift <5375 nasa> > up your eyes <5869 <ayin >, and behold
<7200 ra>ah > them that come <0935 bow> > from the north <6828
tsaphown >: where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the flock < 5739 <eder >
[that] was given <5414 nathan > thee, thy beautiful < 8597
tiph>arah > flock <6629 tso>n >?



21 What <4100 mah > wilt thou say <0559 >amar > when <3588 kiy
> he shall punish <6485 paqad > thee? for thou hast taught <3925
lamad > them [to be] captains <0441 >alluwph >, [and] as chief
<7218 ro>sh > over <5921 <al > thee: shall not sorrows <2256
chebel > take <0270 >achaz > thee, as a woman < 0802 >ishshah >
in travail <3205 yalad >?



22. And if <3588 kiy > thou say <0559 >amar > in thine heart
<3824 lebab >, Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > come < 7122 qara> >
these <0428 >el-leh > things upon me? For the greatness <7230
rob > of thine iniquity <5771 <avon > are thy skirts <7757 shuwl

bare <2554 chamac >.



23 Can the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy > change <2015 haphak > his
skin <5785 <owr >, or the leopard <5246 namer > his spots <2272
chabarburah >? [then] may <3201 yakol > ye also <1571 gam > do
good <3190 yatab >, that are accustomed <3928 limmuwd > to do
evil <7489 ra<a< >.



24 Therefore will I scatter <6327 puwts > them as the stubble
<7179 qash > that passeth <5674 <abar > away by the wind <7307
ruwach > of the wilderness <4057 midbar >.



25 This <2088 zeh > [is] thy lot <1486 gowral >, the portion
<4490 manah > of thy measures <4055 mad > from me, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <0834 >aher > thou
hast forgotten <7911 shakach > me, and trusted <0982 batach > in
falsehood <8267 sheqer >.



26 Therefore will I discover <2834 chasaph > thy skirts <7757
shuwl > upon thy face <6440 paniym >, that thy shame < 7036
qalown > may appear <7200 ra>ah >.



27 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > thine adulteries <5004 ni>uph >,
and thy neighings <4684 matshalah >, the lewdness <2154 zimmah >
of thy whoredom <2184 z@nuwth >, [and] thine abominations <8251
shiqquwts > on <5921 <al > the hills <1389 gib< ah > in the
fields <7704 sadeh >. Woe <0188 >owy > unto thee, O Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >! wilt thou not be made clean <2891 taher >?
when [shall it] once <5750 <owd > [be]?



Jeremiah 14



1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came
<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > concerning the dearth
<1226 batstsoreth >.



2 Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > mourneth <56>, and the gates <8179
sha<ar > thereof languish <0535 >amal >; they are black <6937
qadar > unto the ground <0776 >erets >; and the cry <6682
ts@vachah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is gone <5927
<alah > up.



3 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > have sent <7971 shalach >
their little <6810 tsa<iyr > ones to the waters <4325 mayim >:
they came <0935 bow> > to the pits <1356 geb >, [and] found
<4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim >; they returned
<7725 shuwb > with their vessels <3627 k@liy > empty <7387
reyqam >; they were ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded <3637
kalam >, and covered <2645 chaphah > their heads < 7218 ro>sh >.



4 Because <5668 <abuwr > the ground <0127 >adamah > is chapt
<2865 chathath >, for there was no <3808 lo> > rain <1653 geshem
> in the earth <0776 >erets >, the plowmen <0406 >ikkar > were
ashamed <0954 buwsh >, they covered <2645 chaphah > their heads
<7218 ro>sh >.



5 Yea, the hind <0365 >ayeleth > also <1571 gam > calved <3205
yalad > in the field <7704 sadeh >, and forsook <5800 <azab >
[it], because <3588 kiy > there was no <3808 lo> > grass <1758
duwsh >.



6 And the wild <6501 pere> > asses <6501 pere> > did stand
<5975 <amad > in the high <8205 sh@phiy > places, they snuffed
<7602 sha>aph > up the wind <7307 ruwach > like dragons <8577
tanniyn >; their eyes <5869 <ayin > did fail <3615 kalah >,
because <3588 kiy > [there was] no <0369 >ayin > grass <6212
<eseb >.



7 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, though <0518 >im > our iniquities
<5771 <avon > testify <6030 <anah > against us, do <6213 <asah >
thou [it] for thy name's <8034 shem > sake <4616 ma< an >: for
our backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are many <7231 rabab >; we
have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.



8 O the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the
saviour <3467 yasha< > thereof in time <6256 <eth > of trouble
<6869 tsarah >, why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a stranger
<1616 ger > in the land <0776 >erets >, and as a wayfaring <0732
>arach > man [that] turneth <5186 natah > aside < 5186 natah > to
tarry <3885 luwn > for a night?



9 Why <4100 mah > shouldest thou be as a man <0376 > iysh >
astonied <1724 daham >, as a mighty <1368 gibbowr > man <0376
>iysh > [that] cannot save <3467 yasha< >? yet thou, O LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, [art] in the midst <7130 qereb > of us, and we
are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem >; leave <3241
Yaniym > us not.



10. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

have they loved <0157 >ahab > to wander <5128 nuwa< >, they have
not refrained <2820 chasak > their feet <7272 regel >, therefore
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > doth not accept <7521 ratsah > them; he
will now <4994 na> > remember <2142 zakar > their iniquity <5771
<avon >, and visit <6485 paqad > their sins <2403 chatta>ah >.



11 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me,
Pray <6419 palal > not for this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >
for [their] good <2896 towb >.



12 When <3588 kiy > they fast <6684 tsuwm >, I will not hear
<8085 shama< > their cry <7440 rinnah >; and when <3588 kiy >
they offer <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offering and an
oblation <4503 minchah >, I will not accept <7521 ratsah > them:
but I will consume <3615 kalah > them by the sword <2719 chereb

deber >.



13 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh > , Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! behold <2009 hinneh >, the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > say <0559 >amar > unto them, Ye shall
not see <7200 ra>ah > the sword <2719 chereb >, neither <3808

nathan > you assured <0571 >emeth > peace <7965 shalowm > in
this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,
The prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesy <5012 naba> > lies <8267
sheqer > in my name <8034 shem >: I sent <7971 shalach > them
not, neither <3808 lo> > have I commanded <6680 tsavah > them,
neither <3808 lo> > spake <1696 dabar > unto them: they prophesy
<5012 naba> > unto you a false <8267 sheqer > vision <2377
chazown > and divination <7081 qecem >, and a thing of nought
<0434 >eluwl >, and the deceit <8649 tormah > of their heart
<3820 leb >.



15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the prophets
<5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > in my name <8034 shem

16 And the people <5971 <am > to whom they prophesy < 5012 naba>

of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > because <6440 paniym > of the

shall have none <0369 >ayin > to bury <6912 qabar > them, them,
their wives <0802 >ishshah >, nor their sons <1121 ben >, nor
their daughters <1121 ben >: for I will pour <8210 shaphak >
their wickedness <7451 ra< > upon them.



17. Therefore thou shalt say <0559 >amar > this < 2088 zeh >
word <1697 dabar > unto them; Let mine eyes <5869 < ayin > run
<3381 yarad > down with tears <1832 dim<ah > night <3915 layil >
and day <3119 yowmam >, and let them not cease <1820 damah >:
for the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > daughter <1323 bath > of my

grievous <2470 chalah > blow <4347 makkah >.



18 If <0518 >im > I go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into
the field <7704 sadeh >, then behold <2009 hinneh > the slain
<2491 chalal > with the sword <2719 chereb >! and if <0518 >im >
I enter <0935 bow> > into the city <5892 <iyr >, then behold
<2009 hinneh > them that are sick <8463 tachaluw> > with famine
<7458 ra<ab >! yea, both <1571 gam > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
and the priest <3548 kohen > go <5503 cachar > about <5503

<3045 yada< > not.



19 Hast thou utterly rejected <3988 ma>ac > Judah < 3063

Zion <6726 Tsiyown >? why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou smitten

the time <6256 <eth > of healing <4832 marpe> >, and behold
<2009 hinneh > trouble <1205 b@<athah >!



20 We acknowledge <3045 yada< >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, our
wickedness <7562 resha< >, [and] the iniquity <5771 <avon > of
our fathers <1>: for we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.



21 Do not abhor <5006 na>ats > [us], for thy name's < 8034 shem

22 Are there [any] among the vanities <1892 hebel > of the
Gentiles <1471 gowy > that can cause rain <1653 geshem >? or can

<0430 >elohiym >? therefore we will wait <6960 qavah > upon thee:
for thou hast made <6213 <asah > all <3605 kol > these <0428

Jeremiah 15



1. Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me,
Though <0518 >im > Moses <4872 Mosheh > and Samuel <8050
Sh@muw>el > stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me, [yet]
my mind <5315 nephesh > [could] not [be] toward <0413 >el > this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >: cast <7971 shalach > [them] out
of my sight <6440 paniym >, and let them go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> >.



2 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, if <3588 kiy > they
say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Whither <0575 >an > shall we go
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >? then thou shalt tell <0559
>amar > them, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 > amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >; Such as [are] for death <4194 maveth >, to
death <4194 maveth >; and such as [are] for the sword < 2719
chereb >, to the sword <2719 chereb >; and such as [are] for the
famine <7458 ra<ab >, to the famine <7458 ra<ab >; and such as
[are] for the captivity <7628 sh@biy >, to the captivity <7628
sh@biy >.



3 And I will appoint <6485 paqad > over <5921 <al > them four
<0702 >arba< > kinds <4940 mishpachah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the sword <2719 chereb > to slay <2026
harag >, and the dogs <3611 keleb > to tear <5498 cachab >, and
the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven <8064 shamayim >, and the
beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets >, to devour
<0398 >akal > and destroy <7843 shachath >.



4 And I will cause <5414 nathan > them to be removed < 2189
za<avah > into all <3605 kol > kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of the
earth <0776 >erets >, because <1558 galal > of Manasseh <4519
M@nashsheh > the son <1121 ben > of Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, for [that] which
<0834 >aher > he did <6213 <asah > in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >.



5 For who <4310 miy > shall have pity <2550 chamal > upon thee,
O Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >? or who <4310 miy > shall
bemoan <5110 nuwd > thee? or who shall go <5493 cuwr > aside
<5493 cuwr > to ask <7592 sha>al > how thou doest <7965 shalowm
>?



6 Thou hast forsaken <5203 natash > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou art gone <3212 yalak > backward <0268
>achowr >: therefore will I stretch <5186 natah > out my hand
<3027 yad > against <5921 <al > thee, and destroy <7843 shachath
> thee; I am weary <3811 la>ah > with repenting < 5162 nacham >.



7 And I will fan <2219 zarah > them with a fan <2219 zarah > in
the gates <8179 sha<ar > of the land <0776 >erets >; I will
bereave <7921 shakol > [them] of children, I will destroy <6> my
people <5971 <am >, [since] they return <7725 shuwb > not from
their ways <1870 derek >.



8 Their widows <0490 >almanah > are increased <6105 <atsam > to
me above the sand <2344 chowl > of the seas <3220 yam >: I have
brought <0935 bow> > upon them against <5921 <al > the mother
<0517 >em > of the young <0970 bachuwr > men a spoiler <7703
shadad > at noonday <6672 tsohar >: I have caused [him] to fall
<5307 naphal > upon it suddenly <6597 pith>owm >, and terrors
<0928 behalah > upon the city <5892 <iyr >.



9 She that hath borne <3205 yalad > seven <7651 sheba< >
languisheth <0535 >amal >: she hath given <5301 naphach > up the
ghost <5315 nephesh >; her sun <8121 shemesh > is gone <0935
bow> > down while [it was] yet <5750 <owd > day <3119 yowmam >:
she hath been <1961 hayah > ashamed <0954 buwsh > and confounded
<2659 chapher >: and the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of them will
I deliver <5414 nathan > to the sword <2719 chereb > before
<6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >, saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



10. Woe <0188 >owy > is me, my mother <0517 >em >, that thou
hast borne <3205 yalad > me a man <0376 >iysh > of strife <7379
riyb > and a man <0376 >iysh > of contention <4066 madown > to
the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets >! I have neither <3808
lo> > lent <5383 nashah > on usury <5383 nashah >, nor <3808 lo>
> men have lent <5383 nashah > to me on usury <5383 nashah >;
[yet] every <3605 kol > one of them doth curse <7043 qalal > me.



11 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar >, Verily it shall
be well <2896 towb > with thy remnant <8293 sheruwth > ; verily
<0518 >im > I will cause the enemy <0341 >oyeb > to entreat
<6293 paga< > thee [well] in the time <6256 <eth > of evil <7451
ra< > and in the time <6256 <eth > of affliction <6869 tsarah >.



12 Shall iron <1270 barzel > break <7489 ra<a< > the northern
<6828 tsaphown > iron <1270 barzel > and the steel <5178
n@chosheth >?



13 Thy substance <2428 chayil > and thy treasures <0214 >owtsar
> will I give <5414 nathan > to the spoil <0957 baz > without
price <4242 m@chiyr >, and [that] for all <3605 kol > thy sins
<2403 chatta>ah >, even in all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366
g@buwl >.



14 And I will make [thee] to pass <5674 <abar > with thine
enemies <0341 >oyeb > into a land <0776 >erets > [which] thou
knowest <3045 yada< > not: for a fire <0784 >esh > is kindled
<6919 qadach > in mine anger <0639 >aph >, [which] shall burn
<3344 yaqad > upon you.



15. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< >:
remember <2142 zakar > me, and visit <6485 paqad > me, and
revenge <5358 naqam > me of my persecutors <7291 radaph >; take
<3947 laqach > me not away in thy longsuffering: know < 3045
yada< > that for thy sake I have suffered <5375 nasa> > rebuke
<2781 cherpah >.



16 Thy words <1697 dabar > were found <4672 matsa> >, and I did
eat <0398 >akal > them; and thy word <1697 dabar > was unto me
the joy <8342 sasown > and rejoicing <8057 simchah > of mine
heart <3824 lebab >: for I am called <7121 qara> > by thy name
<8034 shem >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 > elohiym > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



17 I sat <3427 yashab > not in the assembly <5475 cowd > of the
mockers <7832 sachaq >, nor rejoiced <5937 <alaz >; I sat <3427
yashab > alone <0909 badad > because <6440 paniym > of thy hand
<3027 yad >: for thou hast filled <4390 male> > me with
indignation <2195 za<am >.



18 Why <4100 mah > is my pain <3511 k@>eb > perpetual <5331
netsach >, and my wound <4347 makkah > incurable < 0605 >anash >,
[which] refuseth <3985 ma>en > to be healed <7495 rapha> >? wilt
thou be altogether unto me as a liar <0391 >akzab >, [and as]
waters <4325 mayim > [that] fail <0539 >aman >?



19 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb
>, then will I bring <7725 shuwb > thee again <7725 shuwb >,
[and] thou shalt stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me:
and if <0518 >im > thou take <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >
the precious <3368 yaqar > from the vile <2151 zalal > , thou
shalt be as my mouth <6310 peh >: let them return <7725 shuwb >
unto thee; but return <7725 shuwb > not thou unto them.



20 And I will make <5414 nathan > thee unto this <2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am > a fenced <1219 batsar > brasen <5178
n@chosheth > wall <2346 chowmah >: and they shall fight <3898
lacham > against <0413 >el > thee, but they shall not prevail
<3201 yakol > against thee: for I [am] with thee to save <3467
yasha< > thee and to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



21 And I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee out of the hand <3027
yad > of the wicked <7451 ra< >, and I will redeem <6299 padah >
thee out of the hand <3709 kaph > of the terrible <6184 <ariyts

Jeremiah 16



1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > also unto me, saying,



2 Thou shalt not take <3947 laqach > thee a wife <0802 >ishshah

maqowm >.



3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > concerning <5921 <al > the sons <1121 ben > and
concerning <5921 <al > the daughters <1121 ben > that are born
<3205 yalad > in this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, and
concerning <5921 <al > their mothers <0517 >em > that bare <3205
yalad > them, and concerning <5921 <al > their fathers <1> that
begat <3205 yalad > them in this <2088 zeh > land < 0776 >erets >;



4 They shall die <4191 muwth > of grievous <8463 tachaluw> >
deaths <4463 mamowth >; they shall not be lamented <5594 caphad
>; neither <3808 lo> > shall they be buried <6912 qabar >; [but]
they shall be as dung <1828 domen > upon the face <6440 paniym >
of the earth <0127 >adamah >: and they shall be consumed <3615
kalah > by the sword <2719 chereb >, and by famine < 7458 ra<ab >;
and their carcases <5038 n@belah > shall be meat <3978 ma>akal

for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth <0776 > erets >.



5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Enter <0935 bow> > not into the house < 1004 bayith >
of mourning <4798 marzeach >, neither <3808 lo> > go <3212 yalak

them: for I have taken <0622 >acaph > away my peace < 7965
shalowm > from this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [even <0853 > eth >]
lovingkindness <2617 checed > and mercies <7356 racham >.



6 Both the great <1419 gadowl > and the small <6996 qatan >
shall die <4191 muwth > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets
>: they shall not be buried <6912 qabar >, neither < 3808 lo> >
shall [men] lament <5594 caphad > for them, nor <3808 lo> > cut
<1413 gadad > themselves, nor <3808 lo> > make themselves bald
<7139 qarach > for them:



7 Neither <3808 lo> > shall [men] tear <6536 parac >
[themselves] for them in mourning <60>, to comfort <5162 nacham

[men] give them the cup <3563 kowc > of consolation < 8575
tanchuwm > to drink <8248 shaqah > for their father < 1> or for
their mother <0517 >em >.



8 Thou shalt not also go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004
bayith > of feasting <4960 mishteh >, to sit <3427 yashab > with
them to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah >.



9 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will cause to
cease <7673 shabath > out of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm

voice <6963 qowl > of mirth <8342 sasown >, and the voice <6963
qowl > of gladness <8057 simchah >, the voice <6963 qowl > of
the bridegroom <2860 chathan >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of
the bride <3618 kallah >.



10. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when <3588 kiy >
thou shalt shew <5046 nagad > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am

they shall say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > pronounced <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > this
<2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against
<5921 <al > us? or what <4100 mah > [is] our iniquity <5771

we have committed <2398 chata> > against the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah

11 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar > unto them, Because your
fathers <1> have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have walked <3212 yalak > after
<0310 >achar > other <0312 >acher > gods < 0430 >elohiym >, and
have served <5647 <abad > them, and have worshipped < 7812
shachah > them, and have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and have not
kept <8104 shamar > my law <8451 towrah >;



12 And ye have done <6213 <asah > worse <7489 ra< a< > than your
fathers <1>; for, behold <2009 hinneh >, ye walk < 1980 halak >
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > after < 0310 >achar > the
imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth > of his evil <7451 ra< > heart
<3820 leb >, that they may not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me:



13 Therefore will I cast <2904 tuwl > you out of this < 2063
zo>th > land <0776 >erets > into <5921 <al > a land <0776 >erets
> that ye know <3045 yada< > not, [neither] ye nor your fathers

<0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym > day < 3119 yowmam > and
night <3915 layil >; where <0834 >aher > I will not shew <5414
nathan > you favour <2594 chaniynah >.



14. Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days
<3117 yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, that it shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >
be said <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416

of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of the land <0776 > erets > of
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >;



15 But, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >, that
brought <5927 <alah > up the children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > from the land <0776 >erets > of the north <6828
tsaphown >, and from all <3605 kol > the lands <0776 >erets >
whither he had driven <5080 nadach > them: and I will bring
<7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > into <5921 <al > their
land <0127 >adamah > that I gave <5414 nathan > unto their
fathers <1>.



16 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > for many
<7227 rab > fishers <1728 davvag >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, and they shall fish <1770 diyg > them; and
after <0310 >achar > will I send <7971 shalach > for many <7227
rab > hunters <6719 tsayad >, and they shall hunt < 6679 tsuwd >
them from every <3605 kol > mountain <2022 har >, and from every
<3605 kol > hill <1389 gib<ah >, and out of the holes <5357
naqiyq > of the rocks <5553 cela< >.



17 For mine eyes <5869 <ayin > [are] upon all <3605 kol > their
ways <1870 derek >: they are not hid <5641 cathar > from my face
<6440 paniym >, neither <3808 lo> > is their iniquity <5771
<avon > hid <6845 tsaphan > from mine eyes <5869 <ayin >.



18 And first <7223 ri>shown > I will recompense < 7999 shalam >
their iniquity <5771 <avon > and their sin <2403 chatta>ah >
double <4932 mishneh >; because <5921 <al > they have defiled
<2490 chalal > my land <0776 >erets >, they have filled <4390
male> > mine inheritance <5159 nachalah > with the carcases
<5038 n@belah > of their detestable <8251 shiqquwts > and
abominable <8441 tow<ebah > things.



19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, my strength <5797 <oz > , and my
fortress <4581 ma<owz >, and my refuge <4498 manowc > in the day
<3117 yowm > of affliction <6869 tsarah >, the Gentiles <1471
gowy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee from the ends <0657

nachal > lies <8267 sheqer >, vanity <1892 hebel >, and [things]
wherein [there is] no <0369 >ayin > profit <3276 ya<al >.



20 Shall a man <0120 >adam > make <6213 <asah > gods <0430

<0430 >elohiym >?



21 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I will this <2063
zo>th > once <6471 pa<am > cause them to know < 3045 yada< >, I
will cause them to know <3045 yada< > mine hand <3027 yad > and
my might <1369 g@buwrah >; and they shall know <3045 yada< >
that my name <8034 shem > [is] The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 17



1. The sin <2403 chatta>ah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > [is]
written <3789 kathab > with a pen <5842 <et > of iron <1270

<8068 shamiyr >: [it is] graven <2790 charash > upon the table

2 Whilst their children <1121 ben > remember <2142 zakar >
their altars <4196 mizbeach > and their groves <0842 > asherah >
by the green <7488 ra<anan > trees <6086 <ets > upon the high

3 O my mountain <2042 harar > in the field <7704 sadeh >, I
will give <5414 nathan > thy substance <2428 chayil > [and] all

throughout all <3605 kol > thy borders <1366 g@buwl > .



4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue <8058 shamat > from
thine heritage <5159 nachalah > that I gave <5414 nathan > thee;
and I will cause thee to serve <5647 <abad > thine enemies <0341

fire <0784 >esh > in mine anger <0639 >aph >, [which] shall burn
<3344 yaqad > for ever <5769 <owlam >.



5. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

departeth <5493 cuwr > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



6 For he shall be like the heath <6176 <arow<er > in the desert

7 Blessed <1288 barak > [is] the man <1397 geber > that
trusteth <0982 batach > in the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and whose
hope <4009 mibtach > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > is.



8 For he shall be as a tree <6086 <ets > planted < 8362 shathal

10 I the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > search <2713 chaqar > the heart

12. A glorious <3519 kabowd > high <4791 marowm > throne <3678

13 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the hope <4723 miqveh > of Israel

18 Let them be confounded <0954 buwsh > that persecute < 7291

19. Thus <3541 koh > said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

20 And say <0559 >amar > unto them, Hear <8085 shama< > ye the

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

23 But they obeyed <8085 shama< > not, neither <3808 lo> >

25 Then shall there enter <0935 bow> > into the gates <8179

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and this <2088 zeh > city <5892

26 And they shall come <0935 bow> > from the cities < 5892 <iyr

about <5439 cabiyb > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and from

27 But if <0518 >im > ye will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto

Jeremiah 18



1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah
> to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Arise <6965 quwm >, and go <3381 yarad > down < 3381 yarad >
to the potter's <3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and there
<8033 sham > I will cause thee to hear <8085 shama< > my words
<1697 dabar >.



3 Then I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the potter's
<3335 yatsar > house <1004 bayith >, and, behold < 2009 hinneh >,
he wrought <6213 <asah > a work <4399 m@la>kah > on <5921 <al >
the wheels <70>.



4 And the vessel <3627 k@liy > that he made <6213 < asah > of
clay <2563 chomer > was marred <7843 shachath > in the hand
<3027 yad > of the potter <3335 yatsar >: so he made <6213 <asah

k@liy >, as seemed <5869 <ayin > good <3474 yashar > to the
potter <3335 yatsar > to make <6213 <asah > [it].



5 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,



6 O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, cannot I
do <6213 <asah > with you as this <2088 zeh > potter <3335
yatsar >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Behold
<2009 hinneh >, as the clay <2563 chomer > [is] in the potter's
<3335 yatsar > hand <3027 yad >, so <3651 ken > [are] ye in mine
hand <3027 yad >, O house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.



7 [At what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak < 1696 dabar >
concerning <5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy >, and concerning
<5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, to pluck <5428 nathash >
up, and to pull <5422 nathats > down, and to destroy < 6> [it];



8 If that nation <1471 gowy >, against <5921 <al > whom <0834
>aher > I have pronounced <1696 dabar >, turn < 7725 shuwb > from
their evil <7451 ra< >, I will repent <5162 nacham > of the evil
<7451 ra< > that I thought <2803 chashab > to do <6213 <asah >
unto them.



9 And [at what] instant <7281 rega< > I shall speak < 1696 dabar

<5921 <al > a kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, to build <1129 banah >
and to plant <5193 nata< > [it];



10 If it do <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > in my sight <5869
<ayin >, that it obey <8085 shama< > not my voice <6963 qowl >,
then I will repent <5162 nacham > of the good <2896 towb >,
wherewith <0834 >aher > I said <0559 >amar > I would benefit
<3190 yatab > them.



11. Now <6258 <attah > therefore go <4994 na> > to, speak <0559
>amar > to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and
to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold < 2009 hinneh >, I
frame <3335 yatsar > evil <7451 ra< > against < 5921 <al > you,
and devise <2803 chashab > a device <4284 machashabah > against
<5921 <al > you: return <7725 shuwb > ye now < 4994 na> > every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way
<1870 derek >, and make your ways <1870 derek > and your doings
<4611 ma<alal > good <3190 yatab >.



12 And they said <0559 >amar >, There is no hope < 2976 ya>ash >:
but we will walk <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > our own
devices <4284 machashabah >, and we will every <0376 > iysh > one
<0376 >iysh > do <6213 <asah > the imagination <8307 sh@riyruwth

13 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> >
among the heathen <1471 gowy >, who <4310 miy > hath heard <8085
shama< > such <0428 >el-leh > things: the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah

<3966 m@<od > horrible <8186 sha<aruwrah > thing.



14 Will [a man] leave <5800 <azab > the snow <7950 sheleg > of
Lebanon <3844 L@banown > [which cometh] from the rock < 6697
tsuwr > of the field <7704 sadeh >? [or] shall the cold <7119
qar > flowing <5140 nazal > waters <4325 mayim > that come from
another <2114 zuwr > place be forsaken <5428 nathash > ?



15 Because <3588 kiy > my people <5971 <am > hath forgotten
<7911 shakach > me, they have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999
qatar > to vanity <7723 shav> >, and they have caused them to
stumble <3782 kashal > in their ways <1870 derek > [from] the
ancient <5769 <owlam > paths <7635 shabiyl >, to walk <1980
halak > in paths <5410 nathiyb >, [in] a way <1870 derek > not
cast <5549 calal > up;



16 To make <7760 suwm > their land <0776 >erets > desolate
<8047 shammah >, [and] a perpetual <5769 <owlam > hissing <8292
sh@ruwqah >; every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar >
thereby <5921 <al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem >, and wag
<5110 nuwd > his head <7218 ro>sh >.



17 I will scatter <6327 puwts > them as with an east < 6921
qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > before <6440 paniym > the enemy
<0341 >oyeb >; I will shew <7200 ra>ah > them the back <6203
<oreph >, and not the face <6440 paniym >, in the day <3117 yowm
> of their calamity <0343 >eyd >.



18. Then said <0559 >amar > they, Come <3212 yalak >, and let
us devise <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against
<5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; for the law <8451 towrah

counsel <6098 <etsah > from the wise <2450 chakam > , nor the
word <1697 dabar > from the prophet <5030 nabiy> >. Come <3212
yalak >, and let us smite <5221 nakah > him with the tongue
<3956 lashown >, and let us not give heed <7181 qashab > to any
<3605 kol > of his words <1697 dabar >.



19 Give heed <7181 qashab > to me, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and
hearken <8085 shama< > to the voice <6963 qowl > of them that
contend <3401 yariyb > with me.



20 Shall evil <7451 ra< > be recompensed <7999 shalam > for
good <2896 towb >? for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit
<7745 shuwchah > for my soul <5315 nephesh >. Remember <2142
zakar > that I stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > thee to
speak <1696 dabar > good <2896 towb > for them, [and] to turn
<7725 shuwb > away thy wrath <2534 chemah > from them.



21 Therefore <3651 ken > deliver <5414 nathan > up their
children <1121 ben > to the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and pour <5064
nagar > out their [blood] by the force <3027 yad > of the sword
<2719 chereb >; and let their wives <0802 >ishshah > be bereaved
<7909 shakkuwl > of their children, and [be] widows < 0490
>almanah >; and let their men <0582 >enowsh > be put <2026 harag

[be] slain <5221 nakah > by the sword <2719 chereb > in battle
<4421 milchamah >.



22 Let a cry <2201 za<aq > be heard <8085 shama< > from their
houses <1004 bayith >, when <3588 kiy > thou shalt bring <0935
bow> > a troop <1416 g@duwd > suddenly <6597 pith>owm > upon
them: for they have digged <3738 karah > a pit to take < 3920
lakad > me, and hid <2934 taman > snares <6341 pach > for my
feet <7272 regel >.



23 Yet, LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou knowest <3045 yada< > all
<3605 kol > their counsel <6098 <etsah > against <5921 <al > me
to slay <1194 B@<on > [me]: forgive <3722 kaphar > not their
iniquity <5771 <avon >, neither <0408 >al > blot <4229 machah >
out their sin <2403 chatta>ah > from thy sight <6440 paniym >,
but let them be overthrown <3782 kashal > before <6440 paniym >
thee; deal <6213 <asah > [thus] with them in the time <6256 <eth

Jeremiah 19



1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

whosoever <3605 kol > heareth <8085 shama< >, his ears <0241

4 Because they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and have
estranged <5234 nakar > this <2088 zeh > place < 4725 maqowm >,
and have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > in it unto

5 They have built <1129 banah > also the high <1116 bamah >

heaven <8064 shamayim >, and for the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of
the earth <0776 >erets >.



8 And I will make <7760 suwm > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892
<iyr > desolate <8047 shammah >, and an hissing < 8322 sh@reqah >;
every <3605 kol > one that passeth <5674 <abar > thereby <5921
<al > shall be astonished <8074 shamem > and hiss < 8319 sharaq >
because <5921 <al > of all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah

9 And I will cause them to eat <0398 >akal > the flesh <1320
basar > of their sons <1121 ben > and the flesh <1320 basar > of
their daughters <1121 ben >, and they shall eat <0398 >akal >
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > the flesh <1320 basar > of
his friend <7453 rea< > in the siege <4692 matsowr > and
straitness <4689 matsowq >, wherewith <0834 >aher > their
enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and they that seek <1245 baqash > their
lives <5315 nephesh >, shall straiten <6693 tsuwq > them.



10. Then shalt thou break <7665 shabar > the bottle < 1228
baqbuk > in the sight <5869 <ayin > of the men < 0582 >enowsh >
that go <1980 halak > with thee,



11 And shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635

shabar > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > and this <2063

potter's <3335 yatsar > vessel <3627 k@liy >, that cannot be
made <7495 rapha> > whole <7495 rapha> > again <5750 <owd >: and
they shall bury <6912 qabar > [them] in Tophet <8612 Topheth >,
till [there be] no <0369 >ayin > place <4725 maqowm > to bury
<6912 qabar >.



12 Thus <3651 ken > will I do <6213 <asah > unto this <2088 zeh

Y@hovah >, and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof, and
[even] make <5414 nathan > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >
as Tophet <8612 Topheth >:



13 And the houses <1004 bayith > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, and the houses <1004 bayith > of the kings <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, shall be defiled < 2931 tame>

<3605 kol > of all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > upon
whose <0834 >aher > roofs <1406 gag > they have burned <6999

nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto other < 0312

14 Then came <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from Tophet
<8612 Topheth >, whither <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
had sent <7971 shalach > him to prophesy <5012 naba> >; and he
stood <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD'S
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >; and said < 0559 >amar > to
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >,



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

<3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> >
upon this city <5892 <iyr > and upon all <3605 kol > her towns
<5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have
pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > it, because <3588

Jeremiah 20



1. Now Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Immer
<0564 >Immer > the priest <3548 kohen >, who < 1931 huw> > [was]
also chief <5051 nogahh > governor <5057 nagiyd > in the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, heard < 8085 shama< >
that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > prophesied <5012 naba> > these
<0428 >el-leh > things <1697 dabar >.



2 Then Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > smote <5221 nakah > Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and put <5414
nathan > him in the stocks <4115 mahpeketh > that [were] in the
high <5945 >elyown > gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144
Binyamiyn >, which <0834 >aher > [was] by the house <1004 bayith

3 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass on the morrow <4283
mochorath >, that Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > brought < 3318 yatsa>
> forth <3318 yatsa> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the
stocks <4115 mahpeketh >. Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not called
<7121 qara> > thy name <8034 shem > Pashur < 6583 Pashchuwr >,
but Magormissabib <4036 Magowr mic-Cabiyb >.



4 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Behold <2005 hen >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee a
terror <4320 Miykayah > to thyself, and to all <3605 kol > thy
friends <0157 >ahab >: and they shall fall <5307 naphal > by the
sword <2719 chereb > of their enemies <0341 >oyeb > , and thine
eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > [it]: and I will
give <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into
the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894
Babel >, and he shall carry <1540 galah > them captive <1540
galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel >, and shall slay < 5221 nakah >
them with the sword <2719 chereb >.



5 Moreover I will deliver <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > the
strength <2633 chocen > of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >,
and all <3605 kol > the labours <3018 y@giya< > thereof, and all
<3605 kol > the precious <3366 y@qar > things thereof, and all
<3605 kol > the treasures <0214 >owtsar > of the kings <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > will I give <5414 nathan >
into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies <0341 > oyeb >, which
shall spoil <0962 bazaz > them, and take <3947 laqach > them,
and carry <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



6 And thou, Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and all <3605 kol > that
dwell <3427 yashab > in thine house <1004 bayith > shall go
<3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >: and thou shalt come
<0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894 Babel >, and there <8033 sham >
thou shalt die <4191 muwth >, and shalt be buried <6912 qabar >
there <8033 sham >, thou, and all <3605 kol > thy friends <0157
>ahab >, to whom thou hast prophesied <5012 naba> > lies <8267
sheqer >.



7. O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, thou hast deceived <6601 pathah > me,
and I was deceived <6601 pathah >: thou art stronger < 2388
chazaq > than I, and hast prevailed <3201 yakol >: I am in
derision <7814 s@chowq > daily, every <3605 kol > one mocketh
<3932 la<ag > me.



8 For since <1767 day > I spake <1696 dabar >, I cried <2199
za<aq > out, I cried <7121 qara> > violence < 2555 chamac > and
spoil <7701 shod >; because <3588 kiy > the word < 1697 dabar >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was made <1961 hayah > a reproach
<2781 cherpah > unto me, and a derision <7047 qelec >, daily.



9 Then I said <0559 >amar >, I will not make mention <2142
zakar > of him, nor <3808 lo> > speak <1696 dabar > any more
<5750 <owd > in his name <8034 shem >. But [his word] was in
mine heart <3820 leb > as a burning <1197 ba<ar > fire <0784

was weary <3811 la>ah > with forbearing <3557 kuwl >, and I
could <3201 yakol > not [stay].



10 For I heard <8085 shama< > the defaming <1681 dibbah > of
many <7227 rab >, fear <4032 magowr > on every < 5437 cabab >
side <5439 cabiyb >. Report <5046 nagad >, [say they], and we
will report <5046 nagad > it. All <3605 kol > my familiars <7965
shalowm > watched <8104 shamar > for my halting <6761 tsela< >,
[saying], Peradventure <0194 >uwlay > he will be enticed <6601
pathah >, and we shall prevail <3201 yakol > against him, and we
shall take <3947 laqach > our revenge <5360 n@qamah > on him.



11 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] with me as a mighty <1368
gibbowr > terrible <6184 <ariyts > one: therefore my persecutors
<7291 radaph > shall stumble <3782 kashal >, and they shall not
prevail <3201 yakol >: they shall be greatly <3966 m@< od >
ashamed <0954 buwsh >; for they shall not prosper <7919 sakal >:
[their] everlasting <5769 <owlam > confusion <3639 k@limmah >
shall never be forgotten <7911 shakach >.



12 But, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, that
triest <0974 bachan > the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq >, [and]
seest <7200 ra>ah > the reins <3629 kilyah > and the heart <3820
leb >, let me see <7200 ra>ah > thy vengeance < 5360 n@qamah > on
them: for unto thee have I opened <1540 galah > my cause <7379
riyb >.



13 Sing <7891 shiyr > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, praise
<1984 halal > ye the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for he hath delivered
<5337 natsal > the soul <5315 nephesh > of the poor <34> from
the hand <3027 yad > of evildoers <7489 ra<a< >.



14. Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the day <3117 yowm > wherein
<0834 >aher > I was born <3205 yalad >: let not the day <3117
yowm > wherein <0834 >aher > my mother <0517 > em > bare <3205

15 Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] the man <0376 >iysh > who <0834

<1>, saying <0559 >amar >, A man <2145 zakar > child <1121 ben >
is born <3205 yalad > unto thee; making him very glad < 8056
sameach >.



16 And let that man <0376 >iysh > be as the cities < 5892 <iyr >
which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > overthrew <2015
haphak >, and repented <5162 nacham > not: and let him hear
<8085 shama< > the cry <2201 za<aq > in the morning <1242 boqer

17 Because <0834 >aher > he slew <4191 muwth > me not from the
womb <7358 rechem >; or that my mother <0517 >em > might have
been <1961 hayah > my grave <6913 qeber >, and her womb <7358

me].



18 Wherefore <4100 mah > came <3318 yatsa> > I forth <3318

labour <5999 <amal > and sorrow <3015 yagown >, that my days
<3117 yowm > should be consumed <3615 kalah > with shame <1322

Jeremiah 21



1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah

when king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > sent <7971
shalach > unto him Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr > the son < 1121 ben >
of Melchiah <4441 Malkiyah >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah >
the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest
<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Enquire <1875 darash >, I pray <4994 na> > thee, of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > for us; for Nebuchadrezzar <5019
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon < 0894 Babel >
maketh war <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > us; if <0194

<asah > with us according to all <3605 kol > his wondrous <6381
pala> > works, that he may go <5927 <alah > up from us.



3 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto them,
Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667
Tsidqiyah >:



4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005
hen >, I will turn <5437 cabab > back <5437 cabab > the weapons
<3627 k@liy > of war <4421 milchamah > that [are] in your hands
<3027 yad >, wherewith <0834 >aher > ye fight < 3898 lacham >
against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and
[against] the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, which besiege < 6696
tsuwr > you without <2351 chuwts > the walls <2346 chowmah >,
and I will assemble <0622 >acaph > them into <0413 >el > the
midst <8432 tavek > of this <2063 zo>th > city < 5892 <iyr >.



5 And I myself <0589 >aniy > will fight <3898 lacham > against
you with an outstretched <5186 natah > hand <3027 yad > and with
a strong <2389 chazaq > arm <2220 z@rowa< >, even in anger <0639

wrath <7110 qetseph >.



6 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the inhabitants <3427 yashab >
of this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, both man <0120 >adam >
and beast <0929 b@hemah >: they shall die <4191 muwth > of a
great <1419 gadowl > pestilence <1698 deber >.



7 And afterward, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
I will deliver <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and his servants <5650
<ebed >, and the people <5971 <am >, and such as are left <7604
sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 < iyr > from the
pestilence <1698 deber >, from the sword <2719 chereb >, and
from the famine <7458 ra<ab >, into the hand <3027 yad > of
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of their
enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of those
that seek <1245 baqash > their life <5315 nephesh >: and he
shall smite <5221 nakah > them with the edge <6310 peh > of the
sword <2719 chereb >; he shall not spare <2347 chuwc > them,
neither <3808 lo> > have pity <2550 chamal >, nor <3808 lo> >
have mercy <7355 racham >.



8. And unto this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > thou shalt say
<0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 > amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I set <5414 nathan > before

and the way <1870 derek > of death <4194 maveth >.



9 He that abideth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >,
and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698

naphal > to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > that besiege <6696
tsuwr > you, he shall live <2421 chayah >, and his life <5315
nephesh > shall be unto him for a prey <7998 shalal >.



10 For I have set <7760 suwm > my face <6440 paniym > against
this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > for evil <7451 ra< >, and
not for good <2896 towb >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

shall burn <8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh > .



11 And touching the house <1004 bayith > of the king < 4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, [say], Hear <8085 shama< > ye
the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;



12 O house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David >, thus <3541

lest <6435 pen > my fury <2534 chemah > go <3318 yatsa> > out

the evil <7455 roa< > of your doings <4611 ma<alal >.



13 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, O
inhabitant <3427 yashab > of the valley <6010 <emeq >, [and]
rock <6697 tsuwr > of the plain <4334 miyshowr >, saith <5002

14 But I will punish <6485 paqad > you according to the fruit
<6529 p@riy > of your doings <4611 ma<alal >, saith <5002 n@>um

fire <0784 >esh > in the forest <3293 ya<ar > thereof, and it
shall devour <0398 >akal > all <3605 kol > things round <5439

Jeremiah 22



1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

2 And say <0559 >amar >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Execute <6213 <asah > ye judgment <4941 mishpat > and
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >, and deliver <5337 natsal > the

innocent <5355 naqiy > blood <1818 dam > in this < 2088 zeh >

4 For if <0518 >im > ye do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing

6 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > unto the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thou [art] Gilead <1568 Gil< ad > unto me,
[and] the head <7218 ro>sh > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >: [yet]
surely I will make <7896 shiyth > thee a wilderness < 4057 midbar

yashab >.



7 And I will prepare <6942 qadash > destroyers <7843 shachath >
against <5921 <al > thee, every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >
with his weapons <3627 k@liy >: and they shall cut <3772 karath

[them] into <5921 <al > the fire <0784 >esh >.



8 And many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > shall pass <5674
<abar > by this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 < iyr >, and they shall
say <0559 >amar > every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453

9 Then they shall answer <0559 >amar >, Because they have
forsaken <5800 <azab > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym >, and worshipped <7812
shachah > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 > elohiym >, and served
<5647 <abad > them.



10. Weep <1058 bakah > ye not for the dead <4191 muwth >,
neither <0408 >al > bemoan <5110 nuwd > him: [but] weep <1058

11 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > touching <0413 >el > Shallum <7967 Shalluwm > the son
<1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king < 4428 melek > of

<8478 tachath > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > his father <1>,
which <0834 >aher > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out
of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >; He shall not return
<7725 shuwb > thither <8033 sham > any more <5750 <owd >:



12 But he shall die <4191 muwth > in the place <4725 maqowm >
whither they have led him captive <1540 galah >, and shall see
<7200 ra>ah > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > no <3808

13 Woe <1945 howy > unto him that buildeth <1129 banah > his
house <1004 bayith > by unrighteousness, and his chambers <5944
<aliyah > by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's <7453 rea< >
service <5647 <abad > without <2600 chinnam > wages <2600

po<al >;



14 That saith <0559 >amar >, I will build <1129 banah > me a
wide <4060 middah > house <1004 bayith > and large <7304 ravach

cedar <0730 >erez >, and painted <4886 mashach > with vermilion
<8350 shashar >.



15 Shalt thou reign <4427 malak >, because <3588 kiy > thou
closest <8474 tacharah > [thyself] in cedar <0730 > erez >? did
not thy father <1> eat <0398 >akal > and drink < 8354 shathah >,
and do <6213 <asah > judgment <4941 mishpat > and justice <6666
ts@daqah >, [and] then <0227 >az > [it was] well < 2896 towb >
with him?



16 He judged <1777 diyn > the cause <1779 diyn > of the poor
<6041 <aniy > and needy <34>; then <0227 >az > [it was] well
<2896 towb > [with him: was] not this <1931 huw> > to know <1847

17 But thine eyes <5869 <ayin > and thine heart < 3820 leb >
[are] not but for thy covetousness <1215 betsa< >, and for to
shed <8210 shaphak > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood < 1818 dam >,
and for oppression <6233 <osheq >, and for violence < 4835
m@rutsah >, to do <6213 <asah > [it].



18 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413 >el > Jehoiakim <3079
Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; They shall not

19 He shall be buried <6912 qabar > with the burial < 6900
q@buwrah > of an ass <2543 chamowr >, drawn <5498 cachab > and
cast <7993 shalak > forth beyond <1973 hal@ah > the gates <8179

20. Go <5927 <alah > up to Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, and cry
<6817 tsa<aq >; and lift <5414 nathan > up thy voice <6963 qowl

passages <5676 <eber >: for all <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157

21 I spake <1696 dabar > unto thee in thy prosperity < 7962

<8085 shama< >. This <2088 zeh > [hath been] thy manner <1870
derek > from thy youth <5271 na<uwr >, that thou obeyedst <8085

22 The wind <7307 ruwach > shall eat <7462 ra<ah > up all <3605

shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >: surely
<3588 kiy > then <0227 >az > shalt thou be ashamed <0954 buwsh >
and confounded <3637 kalam > for all <3605 kol > thy wickedness
<7451 ra< >.



23 O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >,
that makest thy nest <7077 qanan > in the cedars <0730 >erez >,
how <4100 mah > gracious <2603 chanan > shalt thou be when pangs
<2256 chebel > come <0935 bow> > upon thee, the pain <2427 chiyl

24 [As] I live <2416 chay >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, though <0518 >im > Coniah <3659 Konyahuw > the son

my right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3027 yad >, yet < 3588 kiy > would
I pluck <5423 nathaq > thee thence <8033 sham >;



25 And I will give <5414 nathan > thee into the hand < 3027 yad

into the hand <3027 yad > [of them] whose face <6440 paniym >

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel >, and into the hand <3027 yad > of the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >.



26 And I will cast <2904 tuwl > thee out, and thy mother <0517

27 But to the land <0776 >erets > whereunto <0834 >aher > they
desire to return <7725 shuwb >, thither <8033 sham > shall they
not return <7725 shuwb >.

29 O earth <0776 >erets >, earth <0776 >erets > , earth <0776

Jeremiah 23



1. Woe <1945 howy > be unto the pastors <7462 ra<ah > that
destroy <6> and scatter <6327 puwts > the sheep < 6629 tso>n > of
my pasture <4830 mir<iyth >! saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

2 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > against <5921 <al > the pastors < 7462 ra<ah > that

3 And I will gather <6908 qabats > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth

will bring <7725 shuwb > them again <7725 shuwb > to their folds
<5116 naveh >; and they shall be fruitful <6509 parah > and
increase <7235 rabah >.



4 And I will set <6965 quwm > up shepherds <7462 ra< ah > over

5 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

6 In his days <3117 yowm > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall be

7 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

9. Mine heart <3820 leb > within <7130 qereb > me is broken

10 For the land <0776 >erets > is full <4390 male> > of
adulterers <5003 na>aph >; for because <6440 paniym > of
swearing <0423 >alah > the land <0776 >erets > mourneth <56>;
the pleasant <4999 na>ah > places of the wilderness < 4057 midbar

11 For both <1571 gam > prophet <5030 nabiy> > and priest <3548

12 Wherefore <3651 ken > their way <1870 derek > shall be unto
them as slippery <2519 chalaqlaqqah > [ways] in the darkness
<0653 >aphelah >: they shall be driven <1760 dachah > on, and

13 And I have seen <7200 ra>ah > folly <8604 tiphlah > in the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >; they
prophesied <5012 naba> > in Baal <1168 Ba<al >, and caused my
people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to err <8582 ta<ah >.



14 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > also in the prophets < 5030 nabiy>

strengthen <2388 chazaq > also the hands <3027 yad > of
evildoers <7489 ra<a< >, that none <1115 biltiy > doth return
<7725 shuwb > from his wickedness <7451 ra< >: they are all
<3605 kol > of them unto me as Sodom <5467 C@dom >, and the
inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof as Gomorrah <6017 < Amorah >.



15 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > concerning
<5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >; Behold <2005 hen >, I
will feed <0398 >akal > them with wormwood <3939 la<anah >, and
make them drink <8248 shaqah > the water <4325 mayim > of gall
<7219 ro>sh >: for from the prophets <5030 nabiy> > of Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > is profaneness <2613 chanuphah > gone <3318

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

words <1697 dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy

<3068 Y@hovah >.



17 They say <0559 >amar > still unto them that despise <5006

Ye shall have <1961 hayah > peace <7965 shalowm >; and they say
<0559 >amar > unto every <3605 kol > one that walketh <1980

heart <3820 leb >, No <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > shall come
<0935 bow> > upon you.



18 For who <4310 miy > hath stood <5975 <amad > in the counsel
<5475 cowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and hath perceived
<7200 ra>ah > and heard <8085 shama< > his word <1697 dabar >?
who <4310 miy > hath marked <7181 qashab > his word <1697 dabar

19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the LORD

fury <2534 chemah >, even a grievous <2342 chuwl > whirlwind
<5591 ca<ar >: it shall fall <2342 chuwl > grievously <2342
chuwl > upon the head <7218 ro>sh > of the wicked < 7563 rasha< >.



20 The anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall not
return <7725 shuwb >, until <5704 <ad > he have executed <6213
<asah >, and till <5704 <ad > he have performed <6965 quwm > the
thoughts <4209 m@zimmah > of his heart <3820 leb >: in the
latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm > ye shall consider
<0995 biyn > it perfectly <0998 biynah >.



21 I have not sent <7971 shalach > these prophets <5030 nabiy>

22 But if they had stood <5975 <amad > in my counsel <5475 cowd

my words <1697 dabar >, then they should have turned < 7725 shuwb

the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma< alal >.



23 [Am] I a God <0430 >elohiym > at hand <7138 qarowb >, saith

24 Can any <0376 >iysh > hide <5641 cathar > himself in secret
<4565 mictar > places that I shall not see <7200 ra> ah > him?
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Do not I fill

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



25 I have heard <8085 shama< > what the prophets < 5030 nabiy> >

26 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > shall [this] be in the
heart <3820 leb > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy
<5012 naba> > lies <8267 sheqer >? yea, [they are] prophets
<5030 nabiy> > of the deceit <8649 tormah > of their own heart
<3820 leb >;



27 Which think <2803 chashab > to cause my people <5971 <am >

<2472 chalowm > which <0834 >aher > they tell < 5608 caphar >
every man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >, as their

28 The prophet <5030 nabiy> > that hath a dream < 2472 chalowm >,
let him tell <5608 caphar > a dream <2472 chalowm >; and he
that hath my word <1697 dabar >, let him speak <1696 dabar > my
word <1697 dabar > faithfully <0571 >emeth >. What <4100 mah >
[is] the chaff <8401 teben > to the wheat <1250 bar > ? saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



29 [Is] not my word <1697 dabar > like <3541 koh > as a fire
<0784 >esh >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >; and
like a hammer <6360 pattiysh > [that] breaketh <6327 puwts > the
rock <5553 cela< > in pieces?



30 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against
<5921 <al > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that steal <1589 ganab > my words <1697
dabar > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his neighbour
<7453 rea< >.



31 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <5921 <al > the prophets
<5030 nabiy> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
that use <3747 K@riyth > their tongues <3956 lashown > , and say,
He saith <5002 n@>um >.



32 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <5921 <al > them that
prophesy <5012 naba> > false <8267 sheqer > dreams <2472 chalowm

<asah > tell <5608 caphar > them, and cause my people <5971 <am

their lightness <6350 pachazuwth >; yet I sent <7971 shalach >
them not, nor <3808 lo> > commanded <6680 tsavah > them:
therefore they shall not profit <3276 ya<al > this < 2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am > at all, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



33. And when <3588 kiy > this <2088 zeh > people < 5971 <am >,
or <0176 >ow > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, or <0176 >ow > a
priest <3548 kohen >, shall ask <7592 sha>al > thee, saying
<0559 >amar >, What <4100 mah > [is] the burden <4853 massa> >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? thou shalt then say <0559 >amar >
unto them, What <4100 mah > burden <4853 massa> >? I will even
forsake <5203 natash > you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



34 And [as for] the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, and the priest
<3548 kohen >, and the people <5971 <am >, that shall say <0559
>amar >, The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
I will even punish <6485 paqad > that man <0376 >iysh > and his
house <1004 bayith >.



35 Thus <3541 koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > every <0376
>iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour < 7453 rea< >, and
every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach

<anah >? and, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
spoken <1696 dabar >?



36 And the burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
shall ye mention <2142 zakar > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >:
for every man's <0376 >iysh > word <1697 dabar > shall be his
burden <4853 massa> >; for ye have perverted <2015 haphak > the
words <1697 dabar > of the living <2416 chay > God <0430
>elohiym >, of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts < 6635 tsaba> >
our God <0430 >elohiym >.



37 Thus <3541 koh > shalt thou say <0559 >amar > to the prophet
<5030 nabiy> >, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
answered <6030 <anah > thee? and, What <4100 mah > hath the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > spoken <1696 dabar >?



38 But since <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853
massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; therefore < 3651 ken > thus
<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Because <3282 ya<an > ye say <0559 >amar > this <2088 zeh > word
<1697 dabar >, The burden <4853 massa> > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and I have sent <7971 shalach > unto you, saying
<0559 >amar >, Ye shall not say <0559 >amar >, The burden <4853
massa> > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;



39 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2005 hen >, I, even I, will
utterly forget <5382 nashah > you, and I will forsake < 5203
natash > you, and the city <5892 <iyr > that I gave <5414 nathan
> you and your fathers <1>, [and cast you] out of my presence
<6440 paniym >:



40 And I will bring <5414 nathan > an everlasting <5769 <owlam
> reproach <2781 cherpah > upon you, and a perpetual < 5769
<owlam > shame <3640 k@limmuwth >, which <0834 > aher > shall not
be forgotten <7911 shakach >.



Jeremiah 24



1. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shewed <7200 ra>ah > me, and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, two <8147 sh@nayim > baskets <1736 duwday

paniym > the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
after <0310 >achar > that Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar

galah > away captive <1540 galah > Jeconiah <3204 Y@konyah > the
son <1121 ben > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the princes < 8269 sar >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, with the carpenters <2796 charash >
and smiths <4525 macger >, from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,
and had brought <0935 bow> > them to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



2 One <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od

<8384 t@>en > [that are] first <1073 bakkurah > ripe: and the
other <0259 >echad > basket <1731 duwd > [had] very <3966 m@<od

could not be eaten <0398 >akal >, they were so bad < 7451 ra< >.



3 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me,
What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou, Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah >? And I said <0559 >amar >, Figs <8384 t@>en >; the
good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, very < 3966 m@<od > good
<2896 towb >; and the evil <7451 ra< >, very < 3966 m@<od > evil
<7451 ra< >, that cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >,
they are so evil <7455 roa< >.



4 Again the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Like these
<0428 >el-leh > good <2896 towb > figs <8384 t@>en >, so <3651
ken > will I acknowledge <5234 nakar > them that are carried
<1546 galuwth > away captive <1546 galuwth > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have sent <7971 shalach > out
of this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > into the land <0776
>erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > for [their] good <2896
towb >.



6 For I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them
for good <2896 towb >, and I will bring <7725 shuwb > them again
<7725 shuwb > to this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >: and I
will build <1129 banah > them, and not pull <2040 harac > [them]
down; and I will plant <5193 nata< > them, and not pluck <5428
nathash > [them] up.



7 And I will give <5414 nathan > them an heart <3820 leb > to
know <3045 yada< > me, that I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and
they shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be their God
<0430 >elohiym >: for they shall return <7725 shuwb > unto me
with their whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb >.



8 And as the evil <7451 ra< > figs <8384 t@>en >, which <0834
>aher > cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 > akal >, they are so
evil <7455 roa< >; surely <3588 kiy > thus < 3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, So < 3651 ken > will I
give <5414 nathan > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and his princes < 8269 sar >,
and the residue <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, that remain <7604 sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th >
land <0776 >erets >, and them that dwell <3427 yashab > in the
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >:



9 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed < 2189
za<avah > into all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of
the earth <0776 >erets > for [their] hurt <7451 ra< >, [to be] a
reproach <2781 cherpah > and a proverb <4912 mashal >, a taunt
<8148 sh@niynah > and a curse <7045 q@lalah >, in all <3605 kol

them.



10 And I will send <7971 shalach > the sword <2719 chereb >,
the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and the pestilence <1698 deber >,
among them, till <5704 <ad > they be consumed <8552 tamam > from
off <5921 <al > the land <0127 >adamah > that I gave <5414

Jeremiah 25



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > concerning <5921 <al > all < 3605 kol > the

the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek

ri>shoniy > year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar < 5019

2 The which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > spake <1696 dabar > unto all < 3605 kol > the
people <5971 <am > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and to all <3605

Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >,



3 From the thirteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Josiah < 2977
Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 > Amown > king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, even unto this <2088

twentieth <6242 <esriym > year <8141 shaneh >, the word <1697

me, and I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto you, rising < 7925
shakam > early <7925 shakam > and speaking <1696 dabar >; but ye
have not hearkened <8085 shama< >.



4 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent <7971 shalach > unto
you all <3605 kol > his servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets

shama< >, nor <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah > your ear <0241

5 They said <0559 >amar >, Turn <7725 shuwb > ye again <7725
shuwb > now <4994 na> > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >

6 And go <3212 yalak > not after <0310 >achar > other <0312

7 Yet ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< > unto me, saith <5002

anger <3707 ka<ac > with the works <4639 ma<aseh > of your hands

8. Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; Because ye
have not heard <8085 shama< > my words <1697 dabar >,



9 Behold <2005 hen >, I will send <7971 shalach > and take

10 Moreover I will take <6> from them the voice <6963 qowl > of
mirth <8342 sasown >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of gladness
<8057 simchah >, the voice <6963 qowl > of the bridegroom <2860

the light <0216 >owr > of the candle <5216 niyr >.



11 And this <2063 zo>th > whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets >

<0894 Babel > seventy <7657 shib<iym. > years < 8141 shaneh >.



12 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, when seventy <7657

[that] I will punish <6485 paqad > the king <4428 melek > of

and will make <7760 suwm > it perpetual <5769 <owlam >

13 And I will bring <0935 bow> > upon that land < 0776 >erets >

14 For many <7227 rab > nations <1471 gowy > and great <1419

according to the works <4639 ma<aseh > of their own hands <3027

15. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

16 And they shall drink <8354 shathah >, and be moved < 1607

17 Then took <3947 laqach > I the cup <3563 kowc > at the

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

29 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I begin <2490 chalal > to bring evil

30. Therefore prophesy <5012 naba> > thou against < 0413 >el >

34 Howl <3213 yalal >, ye shepherds <7462 ra<ah >, and cry

for the days <3117 yowm > of your slaughter <2873 tabach > and

36 A voice <6963 qowl > of the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the

principal <0117 >addiyr > of the flock <6629 tso>n >, [shall be

37 And the peaceable <7965 shalowm > habitations <4999 na>ah >

Y@huwdah > came <1961 hayah > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Stand <5975 <amad > in the court <2691 chatser > of the LORD'S
<3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >, and speak < 1696 dabar >
unto all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063

to speak <1696 dabar > unto them; diminish <1639 gara< > not a

3 If <0194 >uwlay > so be they will hearken <8085 shama< >, and
turn <7725 shuwb > every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451

of the evil <7455 roa< > of their doings <4611 ma< alal >.



4 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus < 3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; If <0518 >im > ye

6 Then will I make <5414 nathan > this <2088 zeh > house <1004

to all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth <0776

7. So the priests <3548 kohen > and the prophets <5030 nabiy> >
and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > heard <8085 shama< >
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > speaking <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el-

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



8 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Jeremiah < 3414
Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking < 1696 dabar

<6680 tsavah > [him] to speak <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol >
the people <5971 <am >, that the priests <3548 kohen > and the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > and all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am

surely die <4191 muwth >.



9 Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou prophesied <5012 naba> > in
the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559
>amar >, This <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > shall be like
Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >
shall be desolate <2717 charab > without <0369 >ayin > an
inhabitant <3427 yashab >? And all <3605 kol > the people <5971
<am > were gathered <6950 qahal > against <0413 >el > Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



10 When the princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > heard
<8085 shama< > these <0428 >el-leh > things < 1697 dabar >, then
they came <5927 <alah > up from the king's <4428 melek > house
<1004 bayith > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, and sat <3427 yashab > down in the entry < 6607
pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate <8179 sha<ar > of the
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > [house].



11 Then spake <0559 >amar > the priests <3548 kohen > and the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > unto the princes <8269 sar > and to all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, saying < 0559 >amar >, This
<2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > [is] worthy to die <4194 maveth >;
for he hath prophesied <5012 naba> > against <0413 >el > this
<2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, as ye have heard <8085 shama< >
with your ears <0241 >ozen >.



12 Then spake <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto all
<3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > and to all < 3605 kol > the
people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<0413 >el > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > all <3605 kol >
the words <1697 dabar > that ye have heard <8085 shama< >.



13 Therefore now <6258 <attah > amend <3190 yatab > your ways
<1870 derek > and your doings <4611 ma<alal >, and obey <8085
shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your
God <0430 >elohiym >; and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will repent
<5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > that he hath
pronounced <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > you.



14 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I [am] in your hand < 3027 yad

towb > and meet <3477 yashar > unto you.



15 But know <3045 yada< > ye for certain <3045 yada< >, that if
<0518 >im > ye put me to death <4191 muwth >, ye shall surely
<3588 kiy > bring <5414 nathan > innocent <5355 naqiy > blood
<1818 dam > upon yourselves, and upon this <2063 zo> th > city
<5892 <iyr >, and upon the inhabitants <3427 yashab > thereof:
for of a truth <0571 >emeth > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sent
<7971 shalach > me unto you to speak <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol

16. Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > and all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > unto the priests <3548 kohen
> and to the prophets <5030 nabiy> >; This <2088 zeh > man <0376

spoken <1696 dabar > to us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.



17 Then rose <6965 quwm > up certain <0582 >enowsh > of the
elders <2205 zaqen > of the land <0776 >erets >, and spake <0559
>amar > to all <3605 kol > the assembly <6951 qahal > of the
people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >,



18 Micah <4320 Miykayah > the Morasthite <4183 Morashtiy >
prophesied <5012 naba> > in the days <3117 yowm > of Hezekiah
<2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >,
and spake <0559 >amar > to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am

<6635 tsaba> >; Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall be plowed <2790
charash > [like] a field <7704 sadeh >, and Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps <5856 <iy >, and
the mountain <2022 har > of the house <1004 bayith > as the high
<1116 bamah > places of a forest <3293 ya<ar >.



19 Did Hezekiah <2396 Chizqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > and all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > put
him at all <3605 kol > to death <4191 muwth >? did he not fear
<3373 yare> > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and besought <2470
chalah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
repented <5162 nacham > him of the evil <7451 ra< > which <0834

them? Thus might we procure <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl >
evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al > our souls <5315 nephesh >.



20 And there was also <1571 gam > a man <0376 >iysh > that
prophesied <5012 naba> > in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD

Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > of Kirjathjearim <7157 Qiryath
Y@<ariym >, who prophesied <5012 naba> > against <5921 <al >
this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > and against <5921 <al >
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > according to all <3605
kol > the words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >:



21 And when Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king < 4428 melek

<3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar >, heard <8085 shama< > his
words <1697 dabar >, the king <4428 melek > sought <1245 baqash

and fled <1272 barach >, and went <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >;



22 And Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428 melek >
sent <7971 shalach > men <0582 >enowsh > into Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, [namely], Elnathan <0494 >Elnathan > the son <1121

23 And they fetched <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > Urijah
<0223 >Uwriyah > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and brought
<0935 bow> > him unto Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king

24 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > the hand <3027 yad > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >
was with Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, that they should not give

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
to me; Make <6213 <asah > thee bonds <4147 mowcer > and yokes

3 And send <7971 shalach > them to the king <4428 melek > of

4 And command <6680 tsavah > them to say <0559 >amar > unto

5 I have made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 > erets >, the man

6 And now <6258 <attah > have I given <5414 nathan > all <3605

7 And all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy > shall serve <5647

11 But the nations <1471 gowy > that bring <0935 bow> > their
neck <6677 tsavva>r > under the yoke <5923 <ol > of the king
<4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and serve < 5647 <abad >
him, those will I let remain <3241 Yaniym > still in their own
land <0127 >adamah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

12. I spake <1696 dabar > also to Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > according to all
<3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >, saying
<0559 >amar >, Bring <0935 bow> > your necks <6677 tsavva>r >
under the yoke <5923 <ol > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon
<0894 Babel >, and serve <5647 <abad > him and his people <5971

13 Why <4100 mah > will ye die <4191 muwth >, thou and thy
people <5971 <am >, by the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine
<7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >, as the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against < 0413 >el >
the nation <1471 gowy > that will not serve <5647 < abad > the
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >?



14 Therefore hearken <8085 shama< > not unto the words <1697
dabar > of the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that speak < 0559 >amar >
unto you, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall not serve < 5647 <abad >
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >: for they
prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you.



15 For I have not sent <7971 shalach > them, saith < 5002 n@>um

lie <8267 sheqer > in my name <8034 shem >; that I might drive
<5080 nadach > you out, and that ye might perish <6>, ye, and
the prophets <5030 nabiy> > that prophesy <5012 naba> > unto you.



16 Also I spake <1696 dabar > to the priests <3548 kohen > and
to all <3605 kol > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >, saying
<0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 > amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >; Hearken <8085 shama< > not to the words <1697

the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house
<1004 bayith > shall now <6258 <attah > shortly <4120 m@herah >
be brought <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > from Babylon <0894
Babel >: for they prophesy <5012 naba> > a lie < 8267 sheqer >
unto you.



17 Hearken <8085 shama< > not unto them; serve <5647 <abad >
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and live <2421
chayah >: wherefore <4100 mah > should this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > be laid waste <2723 chorbah >?



18 But if <0518 >im > they [be] prophets <5030 nabiy> >, and if
<0518 >im > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
be with them, let them now <4994 na> > make intercession <6293

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

21 Yea <3588 kiy >, thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the

house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > and of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >;



22 They shall be carried <0935 bow> > to Babylon < 0894 Babel >,
and there <8033 sham > shall they be until <5704 <ad > the day
<3117 yowm > that I visit <6485 paqad > them, saith <5002 n@>um

Jeremiah 28



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the same <1931 huw> > year

3 Within <5750 <owd > two full <3117 yowm > years <8141 shaneh

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: for I will break <7665 shabar > the yoke

5 Then the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >
said <0559 >amar > unto the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Hananiah

house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,



6 Even the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >
said <0559 >amar >, Amen <0543 >amen >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
do <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

7 Nevertheless <0389 >ak > hear <8085 shama< > thou now <4994

8 The prophets <5030 nabiy> > that have been <1961 hayah >

9 The prophet <5030 nabiy> > which <0834 >aher > prophesieth

sent <7971 shalach > him.



10. Then Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
took <3947 laqach > the yoke <4133 mowtah > from off <5921 <al >
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah's <3414 Yirm@yah > neck
<6677 tsavva>r >, and brake <7665 shabar > it.



11 And Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > spake <0559 >amar > in the
presence <5869 <ayin > of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3602 kakah > saith <0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Even <3602 kakah > so < 3602 kakah >

the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > went <3212

12 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

after <0310 >achar > that Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet

from off <5921 <al > the neck <6677 tsavva>r > of the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



13 Go <1980 halak > and tell <0559 >amar > Hananiah <2608

make <6213 <asah > for them yokes <4133 mowtah > of iron <1270

14 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; I have put <5414 nathan > a yoke <5923

all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > nations < 1471 gowy >, that
they may serve <5647 <abad > Nebuchadnezzar <5019
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon < 0894 Babel >;
and they shall serve <5647 <abad > him: and I have given <5414
nathan > him the beasts <2416 chay > of the field < 7704 sadeh >
also <1571 gam >.



15 Then said <0559 >amar > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah

16 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will cast <7971

<3068 Y@hovah >.



17 So Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
died <4191 muwth > the same <1931 huw> > year < 8141 shaneh > in
the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh > .



Jeremiah 29



1. Now these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the words <1697 dabar > of
the letter <5612 cepher > that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the

5 Build <1129 banah > ye houses <1004 bayith >, and dwell <3427

6 Take <3947 laqach > ye wives <0802 >ishshah >, and beget

take <3947 laqach > wives <0802 >ishshah > for your sons <1121

8. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Let not your prophets <5030 nabiy> >

9 For they prophesy <5012 naba> > falsely <8267 sheqer > unto

12 Then shall ye call <7121 qara> > upon me, and ye shall go

13 And ye shall seek <1245 baqash > me, and find <4672 matsa> >

15. Because <3588 kiy > ye have said <0559 >amar > , The LORD

nathan > them like vile <8182 sho<ar > figs <8384 t@>en >, that
cannot <3808 lo> > be eaten <0398 >akal >, they are so evil
<7455 roa< >.



18 And I will persecute them with the sword <2719 chereb >,
with the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and with the pestilence <1698
deber >, and will deliver <5414 nathan > them to be removed
<2189 za<avah > to all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >
of the earth <0776 >erets >, to be a curse <0423 > alah >, and an
astonishment <8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322 sh@reqah >,
and a reproach <2781 cherpah >, among all <3605 kol > the
nations <1471 gowy > whither I have driven <5080 nadach > them:



19 Because they have not hearkened <8085 shama< > to my words
<1697 dabar >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
which <0834 >aher > I sent <7971 shalach > unto them by my

[them]; but ye would not hear <8085 shama< >, saith < 5002 n@>um

20 Hear <8085 shama< > ye therefore the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > ye of the captivity
<1473 gowlah >, whom <0834 >aher > I have sent < 7971 shalach >
from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to Babylon <0894 Babel >:



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

<3478 Yisra>el >, of Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab > the son <1121 ben > of
Kolaiah <6964 Qowlayah >, and of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the
son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah >, which prophesy
<5012 naba> > a lie <8267 sheqer > unto you in my name <8034
shem >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, I will deliver <5414 nathan >
them into the hand <3027 yad > of Nebuchadrezzar <5019
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon < 0894 Babel >;
and he shall slay <5221 nakah > them before your eyes < 5869

22 And of them shall be taken <3947 laqach > up a curse <7045
q@lalah > by all <3605 kol > the captivity <1546 galuwth > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > which <0834 >aher > [are] in Babylon
<0894 Babel >, saying <0559 >amar >, The LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
make <7760 suwm > thee like Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > and like
Ahab <0256 >Ach>ab >, whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek >
of Babylon <0894 Babel > roasted <7033 qalah > in the fire <0784

23 Because they have committed <6213 <asah > villany <5039
n@balah > in Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and have committed <6213
<asah > adultery <5003 na>aph > with their neighbours <7453 rea<

<8267 sheqer > words <1697 dabar > in my name < 8034 shem >,
which <0834 >aher > I have not commanded <6680 tsavah > them;
even I know <3045 yada< >, and [am] a witness <5707 <ed >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



24. [Thus] shalt thou also speak <0559 >amar > to Shemaiah
<8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 Nechelamiy > , saying
<0559 >amar >,



25 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >, Because thou hast
sent <7971 shalach > letters <5612 cepher > in thy name <8034
shem > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that [are] at
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and to Zephaniah <6846
Ts@phanyah > the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah >
the priest <3548 kohen >, and to all <3605 kol > the priests
<3548 kohen >, saying <0559 >amar >,



26 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath made <5414 nathan > thee
priest <3548 kohen > in the stead <8478 tachath > of Jehoiada
<3111 Yowyada< > the priest <3548 kohen >, that ye should be
officers <6496 paqiyd > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, for every man <0376 >iysh > [that is] mad <7696
shaga< >, and maketh himself a prophet <5012 naba> >, that thou
shouldest put <5414 nathan > him in prison <4115 mahpeketh >,
and in the stocks <6729 tsiynoq >.



27 Now <6258 <attah > therefore why <4100 mah > hast thou not
reproved <1605 ga<ar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > of Anathoth
<6068 <Anathowth >, which maketh himself a prophet < 5012 naba> >
to you?



28 For therefore he sent <7971 shalach > unto us [in] Babylon
<0894 Babel >, saying <0559 >amar >, This <1931 huw> >
[captivity is] long <0752 >arok >: build <1129 banah > ye houses
<1004 bayith >, and dwell <3427 yashab > [in them]; and plant
<5193 nata< > gardens <1593 gannah >, and eat < 0398 >akal > the
fruit <6529 p@riy > of them.



29 And Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the priest <3548 kohen >
read <7121 qara> > this letter <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241
>ozen > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet < 5030 nabiy> >.



30 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559
>amar >,



31 Send <7971 shalach > to all <3605 kol > them of the
captivity <1473 gowlah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus <3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > concerning <0413
>el > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161 Nechelamiy
>; Because that Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > hath prophesied <5012
naba> > unto you, and I sent <7971 shalach > him not, and he
caused you to trust <0982 batach > in a lie <8267 sheqer >:



32 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will punish
<6485 paqad > Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah > the Nehelamite <5161
Nechelamiy >, and his seed <2233 zera< >: he shall not have
<1961 hayah > a man <0376 >iysh > to dwell < 3427 yashab > among
<8432 tavek > this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >; neither <3808
lo> > shall he behold <7200 ra>ah > the good < 2896 towb > that I
will do <6213 <asah > for my people <5971 <am >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588 kiy > he hath
taught <1696 dabar > rebellion <5627 carah > against <5921 <al >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



Jeremiah 30



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559
>amar >,



2 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Write <3789 kathab > thee all <3605 kol >
the words <1697 dabar > that I have spoken <1696 dabar > unto
thee in a book <5612 cepher >.



3 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the captivity <7622
sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >: and I will cause them to return <7725 shuwb > to the
land <0776 >erets > that I gave <5414 nathan > to their fathers
<1>, and they shall possess <3423 yarash > it.



4 And these <0428 >el-leh > [are] the words <1697 dabar > that
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake <1696 dabar > concerning <0413
>el > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and concerning < 0413 >el > Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >.



5 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; We have heard <8085 shama< > a voice < 6963 qowl > of
trembling <2731 charadah >, of fear <6343 pachad >, and not of
peace <7965 shalowm >.



6 Ask <7592 sha>al > ye now <4994 na> >, and see <7200 ra>ah >
whether <0518 >im > a man <2145 zakar > doth travail <3205 yalad

<7200 ra>ah > every <3605 kol > man <1397 geber > with his hands
<3027 yad > on <5921 <al > his loins <2504 chalats >, as a woman
in travail <3205 yalad >, and all <3605 kol > faces <6440 paniym

7 Alas <1945 howy >! for that day <3117 yowm > [is] great <1419
gadowl >, so that none <0369 >ayin > [is] like < 3644 k@mow > it:
it [is] even the time <6256 <eth > of Jacob's <3290 Ya<aqob >
trouble <6869 tsarah >; but he shall be saved <3467 yasha< > out
of it.



8 For it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day < 3117
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> >, [that] I will break <7665 shabar > his yoke
<5923 <ol > from off <5921 <al > thy neck < 6677 tsavva>r >, and
will burst <5423 nathaq > thy bonds <4147 mowcer >, and
strangers <2114 zuwr > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >
serve <5647 <abad > themselves of him:



9 But they shall serve <5647 <abad > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
their God <0430 >elohiym >, and David <1732 David > their king
<4428 melek >, whom <0834 >aher > I will raise < 6965 quwm > up
unto them.



10. Therefore fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O my servant <5650
<ebed > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >; neither <0408 >al > be dismayed <2865 chathath

save <3467 yasha< > thee from afar <7350 rachowq >, and thy seed
<2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity
<7628 sh@biy >; and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shall return <7725
shuwb >, and shall be in rest <8252 shaqat >, and be quiet <7599
sha>an >, and none <0369 >ayin > shall make [him] afraid <2729
charad >.



11 For I [am] with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, to save <3467 yasha< > thee: though < 3588 kiy > I
make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615 kalah > of all <3605 kol >
nations <1471 gowy > whither I have scattered <6327 puwts > thee,
yet <0389 >ak > will I not make <6213 <asah > a full end <3615
kalah > of thee: but I will correct <3256 yacar > thee in
measure <4941 mishpat >, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished <5352 naqah >.



12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, Thy bruise <7667 sheber > [is] incurable < 0605 >anash
>, [and] thy wound <4347 makkah > [is] grievous <2470 chalah >.



13 [There is] none <0369 >ayin > to plead <1777 diyn > thy
cause <1779 diyn >, that thou mayest be bound <4205 mazowr > up:
thou hast no <0369 >ayin > healing <8585 t@<alah > medicines
<7499 r@phu>ah >.



14 All <3605 kol > thy lovers <0157 >ahab > have forgotten
<7911 shakach > thee; they seek <1875 darash > thee not; for I
have wounded <5221 nakah > thee with the wound <4347 makkah > of
an enemy <0341 >oyeb >, with the chastisement <4148 muwcar > of
a cruel <0394 >akzariy > one, for the multitude <7230 rob > of
thine iniquity <5771 <avon >; [because] thy sins < 2403 chatta>ah

15 Why <4100 mah > criest <2199 za<aq > thou for thine
affliction <7667 sheber >? thy sorrow <4341 mak>ob > [is]
incurable <0605 >anash > for the multitude <7230 rob > of thine
iniquity <5771 <avon >: [because] thy sins <2403 chatta>ah >
were increased <6105 <atsam >, I have done <6213 < asah > these
<0428 >el-leh > things unto thee.



16 Therefore <3651 ken > all <3605 kol > they that devour <0398
>akal > thee shall be devoured <0398 >akal >; and all <3605 kol
> thine adversaries <6862 tsar >, every <3605 kol > one of them,
shall go <3212 yalak > into captivity <7633 shibyah >; and they
that spoil <7701 shod > thee shall be a spoil <4933 m@chiccah >,
and all <3605 kol > that prey <0962 bazaz > upon thee will I
give <5414 nathan > for a prey <7998 shalal >.



17 For I will restore <5927 <alah > health <0724 > aruwkah >
unto thee, and I will heal <7495 rapha> > thee of thy wounds
<4347 makkah >, saith the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; because <3588
kiy > they called <7121 qara> > thee an Outcast < 5080 nadach >,
[saying], This <1931 huw> > [is] Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, whom no
<0369 >ayin > man seeketh <1875 darash > after < 0310 >achar >.



18. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
>; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725
shuwb > the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Jacob's < 3290 Ya<aqob

dwellingplaces <4908 mishkan >; and the city <5892 < iyr > shall
be builded <1129 banah > upon her own heap <8510 tel > , and the
palace <0759 >armown > shall remain <3427 yashab > after <5921
<al > the manner <4941 mishpat > thereof.



19 And out of them shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > thanksgiving
<8426 towdah > and the voice <6963 qowl > of them that make
merry <7832 sachaq >: and I will multiply <7235 rabah > them,
and they shall not be few <4591 ma<at >; I will also glorify
<3513 kabad > them, and they shall not be small <6819 tsa<ar >.



20 Their children <1121 ben > also shall be as aforetime <6924
qedem >, and their congregation <5712 <edah > shall be
established <3559 kuwn > before <6440 paniym > me, and I will
punish <6485 paqad > all <3605 kol > that oppress < 3905 lachats

21 And their nobles <0117 >addiyr > shall be of themselves, and
their governor <4910 mashal > shall proceed <3318 yatsa> > from
the midst <7130 qereb > of them; and I will cause him to draw
near <7126 qarab >, and he shall approach <5066 nagash > unto me:
for who <4310 miy > [is] this that engaged <6148 < arab > his
heart <3820 leb > to approach <5066 nagash > unto me? saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



22 And ye shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be your
God <0430 >elohiym >.



23 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the whirlwind <5591 ca<ar > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >
with fury <2534 chemah >, a continuing <1641 garar > whirlwind
<5591 ca<ar >: it shall fall <2342 chuwl > with pain <2342 chuwl

24 The fierce <2740 charown > anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > shall not return <7725 shuwb >, until <5704 <ad

performed <6965 quwm > the intents <4209 m@zimmah > of his heart
<3820 leb >: in the latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm >
ye shall consider <0995 biyn > it.



Jeremiah 31



1. At the same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, will I be the God <0430
>elohiym > of all <3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and they shall be my people < 5971 <am >.



2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
The people <5971 <am > [which were] left <8300 sariyd > of the
sword <2719 chereb > found <4672 matsa> > grace <2580 chen > in
the wilderness <4057 midbar >; [even] Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
when I went <1980 halak > to cause him to rest <7280 raga< >.



3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath appeared <7200 ra>ah > of old
<7350 rachowq > unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved < 0157 >ahab

therefore with lovingkindness <2617 checed > have I drawn <4900
mashak > thee.



4 Again <5750 <owd > I will build <1129 banah > thee, and thou
shalt be built <1129 banah >, O virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: thou shalt again <5750 < owd > be
adorned <5710 <adah > with thy tabrets <8596 toph > , and shalt
go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > in the dances of them
that make merry <7832 sachaq >.



5 Thou shalt yet <5750 <owd > plant <5193 nata< > vines <3754
kerem > upon the mountains <2022 har > of Samaria < 8111
Shom@rown >: the planters <5193 nata< > shall plant <5193 nata<

6 For there shall be a day <3117 yowm >, [that] the watchmen
<5341 natsar > upon the mount <2022 har > Ephraim < 0669

let us go <5927 <alah > up to Zion <6726 Tsiyown > unto the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >.



7 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Sing <7442 ranan > with gladness <8057 simchah > for
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and shout <6670 tsahal > among the chief

<3068 Y@hovah >, save <3467 yasha< > thy people <5971 <am >, the
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Israel <3478 Yisra> el >.



8 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > them from the
north <6828 tsaphown > country <0776 >erets >, and gather <6908
qabats > them from the coasts <3411 y@rekah > of the earth <0776

<6455 picceach >, the woman with child <2030 hareh > and her
that travaileth <3205 yalad > with child <3205 yalad > together
<3162 yachad >: a great <1419 gadowl > company < 6951 qahal >
shall return <7725 shuwb > thither <2008 hennah >.



9 They shall come <0935 bow> > with weeping <1065 B@kiy >, and
with supplications <8469 tachanuwn > will I lead <2986 yabal >
them: I will cause them to walk <1980 halak > by the rivers
<5158 nachal > of waters <4325 mayim > in a straight <3474
yashar > way <1870 derek >, wherein they shall not stumble <3782
kashal >: for I am a father <1> to Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and
Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > [is] my firstborn <1060 b@kowr >.



10. Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

nagad > [it] in the isles <0339 >iy > afar <4801 merchaq > off,
and say <0559 >amar >, He that scattered <2219 zarah > Israel

shamar > him, as a shepherd <7462 ra<ah > [doth] his flock <5739

11 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath redeemed <6299 padah >
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and ransomed <1350 ga>al > him from the
hand <3027 yad > of [him that was] stronger <2388 chazaq > than
he.



12 Therefore they shall come <0935 bow> > and sing < 7442 ranan

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, for wheat <1715 dagan >, and for
wine <8492 tiyrowsh >, and for oil <3323 yitshar >, and for the
young <1121 ben > of the flock <6629 tso>n > and of the herd

watered <7302 raveh > garden <1588 gan >; and they shall not
sorrow <1669 da>ab > any more <3254 yacaph > at all.



13 Then shall the virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > rejoice < 8057
simchah > in the dance <4234 machowl >, both young < 0970 bachuwr

turn <2015 haphak > their mourning <60> into joy < 8342 sasown >,
and will comfort <5162 nacham > them, and make them rejoice
<8057 simchah > from their sorrow <3015 yagown >.



14 And I will satiate <7301 ravah > the soul <5315 nephesh > of
the priests <3548 kohen > with fatness <1880 deshen >, and my
people <5971 <am > shall be satisfied <7646 saba< > with my

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

Ramah >, lamentation <5092 n@hiy >, [and] bitter < 8563 tamruwr >
weeping <1065 B@kiy >; Rahel <7354 Rachel > weeping <1058 bakah

comforted <5162 nacham > for her children <1121 ben >, because
<3588 kiy > they [were] not.



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

<1065 B@kiy >, and thine eyes <5869 <ayin > from tears <1832
dim<ah >: for thy work <6468 p@<ullah > shall be rewarded <7939

17 And there is hope <8615 tiqvah > in thine end <0319

thy children <1121 ben > shall come <7725 shuwb > again <7725

18. I have surely heard <8085 shama< > Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim

<3256 yacar > me, and I was chastised <3256 yacar >, as a

shuwb > thou me, and I shall be turned <7725 shuwb >; for thou
[art] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym >.



19 Surely <3588 kiy > after <0310 >achar > that I was turned
<7725 shuwb >, I repented <5162 nacham >; and after <0310 >achar

upon [my] thigh <3409 yarek >: I was ashamed <0954 buwsh >, yea

<3588 kiy > I did bear <5375 nasa> > the reproach <2781 cherpah

20 [Is] Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > my dear <3357 yaqqiyr > son
<1121 ben >? [is he] a pleasant <8191 sha<shua< > child <3205

I do earnestly remember <2142 zakar > him still <5750 <owd >:
therefore my bowels <4578 me<ah > are troubled <1993 hamah > for
him; I will surely have mercy <7355 racham > upon him, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



21 Set <5324 natsab > thee up waymarks <6725 tsiyuwn >, make

22 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > wilt thou go <2559 chamaq >

daughter <1323 bath >? for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath created

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

<3478 Yisra>el >; As yet <5750 <owd > they shall use <0559 >amar

their captivity <7622 sh@buwth >; The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > bless
<1288 barak > thee, O habitation <5116 naveh > of justice <6664
tsedeq >, [and] mountain <2022 har > of holiness < 6944 qodesh >.



24 And there shall dwell <3427 yashab > in Judah <3063 Y@huwdah

together <3162 yachad >, husbandmen <0406 >ikkar >, and they
[that] go <5265 naca< > forth <5265 naca< > with flocks <5739

25 For I have satiated <7301 ravah > the weary <5889 <ayeph >
soul <5315 nephesh >, and I have replenished <4390 male> > every
<3605 kol > sorrowful <1669 da>ab > soul <5315 nephesh >.



26 Upon this <2063 zo>th > I awaked <6974 quwts >, and beheld
<7200 ra>ah >; and my sleep <8142 shehah > was sweet <6147 <Er >

27. Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935

seed <2233 zera< > of beast <0929 b@hemah >.



28 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] like as I
have watched <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al > them, to pluck
<5428 nathash > up, and to break <5422 nathats > down <5422

29 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > they shall say <0559

30 But every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > shall die <4191

31 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

with the house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >:



32 Not according to the covenant <1285 b@riyth > that I made

[that] I took <2388 chazaq > them by the hand <3027 yad > to

33 But this <2063 zo>th > [shall be] the covenant < 1285 b@riyth

they shall be my people <5971 <am >.



34 And they shall teach <3925 lamad > no <3808 lo> > more <5750

every man <0376 >iysh > his brother <0251 >ach > , saying <0559

35. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Jeremiah 32



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the tenth
<6224 <asiyriy > year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah

<5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >.



2 For then <0227 >az > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's
<0894 Babel > army <2428 chayil > besieged <6696 tsuwr >
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > was shut <3607 kala> > up in the
court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >, which
<0834 >aher > [was] in the king <4428 melek > of Judah's <3063
Y@huwdah > house <1004 bayith >.



3 For Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > had shut <3607 kala> > him up, saying <0559

4 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > shall not escape <4422 malat > out of the hand
<3027 yad > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, but shall surely be
delivered <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king

5 And he shall lead <3212 yalak > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > to

6 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > , The word
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came < 1961 hayah >
unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,



7 Behold <2009 hinneh >, Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > the son

<6068 <Anathowth >: for the right <4941 mishpat > of redemption
<1353 g@ullah > [is] thine to buy <7069 qanah > [it].



8 So Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > son
<1121 ben > came <0935 bow> > to me in the court <2691 chatser >
of the prison <4307 mattara> > according to the word < 1697 dabar

Buy <7069 qanah > my field <7704 sadeh >, I pray < 4994 na> >

y@rushah > [is] thine, and the redemption <1353 g@ullah > [is]
thine; buy <7069 qanah > [it] for thyself. Then I knew < 3045
yada< > that this <1931 huw> > [was] the word < 1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



9 And I bought <7069 qanah > the field <7704 sadeh > of
Hanameel <2601 Chanam>el > my uncle's <1733 dowdah > son <1121
ben >, that [was] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth >, and weighed
<8254 shaqal > him the money <3701 keceph >, [even] seventeen
<7651 sheba< > shekels <8255 sheqel > of silver <3701 keceph >.



10 And I subscribed <3789 kathab > the evidence <5612 cepher >,
and sealed <2856 chatham > [it], and took witnesses < 5707 <ed >,
and weighed <8254 shaqal > [him] the money <3701 keceph > in the
balances <3976 mo>zen >.



11 So I took <3947 laqach > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the
purchase <4736 miqnah >, [both] that which was sealed < 2856
chatham > [according] to the law <4687 mitsvah > and custom
<2706 choq >, and that which was open <1540 galah >:



12 And I gave <5414 nathan > the evidence <5612 cepher > of the
purchase <4736 miqnah > unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121
ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah

Chanam>el > mine uncle's <1733 dowdah > [son], and in the
presence <5869 <ayin > of the witnesses <5707 <ed > that
subscribed <3789 kathab > the book <5612 cepher > of the

the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that sat <3427 yashab > in the court
<2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.



13 And I charged <6680 tsavah > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > before
<5869 <ayin > them, saying <0559 >amar >,



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

open <1540 galah >; and put <5414 nathan > them in an earthen
<2789 cheres > vessel <3627 k@liy >, that they may continue

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

16. Now when I had delivered <5414 nathan > the evidence <5612
cepher > of the purchase <4736 miqnah > unto Baruch < 1263 Baruwk

19 Great <1419 gadowl > in counsel <6098 <etsah >, and mighty

20 Which <0834 >aher > hast set <7760 suwm > signs <0226 >owth

21 And hast brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > thy

22 And hast given <5414 nathan > them this <2063 zo> th > land

23 And they came <0935 bow> > in, and possessed < 3423 yarash >
it; but they obeyed <8085 shama< > not thy voice < 6963 qowl >,
neither <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > in thy law <8451 towrah

<asah >: therefore thou hast caused all <3605 kol > this <2063

24 Behold <2009 hinneh > the mounts <5550 col@lah >, they are
come <0935 bow> > unto the city <5892 <iyr > to take <3920 lakad

the sword <2719 chereb >, and of the famine <7458 ra< ab >, and
of the pestilence <1698 deber >: and what <0834 >aher > thou
hast spoken <1696 dabar > is come <1961 hayah > to pass; and,
behold <2009 hinneh >, thou seest <7200 ra>ah > [it].



25 And thou hast said <0559 >amar > unto me, O Lord < 0136

26. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559

27 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I [am] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the
God <0430 >elohiym > of all <3605 kol > flesh < 1320 basar >: is
there any <3605 kol > thing <1697 dabar > too hard <6381 pala> >
for me?



28 Therefore thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD

this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > into the hand <3027 yad >
of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and into the hand <3027 yad >
of Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king < 4428 melek >
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and he shall take <3920 lakad > it:



29 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, that fight <3898 lacham >
against <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > city < 5892 <iyr >, shall
come <0935 bow> > and set fire <0784 >esh > on this <2063 zo>th

<1004 bayith >, upon whose <0834 >aher > roofs < 1406 gag > they
have offered <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto Baal <1168
Ba<al >, and poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek >
offerings unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 > elohiym >, to
provoke me to anger <3707 ka<ac >.



30 For the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and
the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have only
<0389 >ak > done <6213 <asah > evil <7451 ra< > before <5869
<ayin > me from their youth <5271 na<uwr >: for the children
<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have only <0389 >ak >
provoked me to anger <3707 ka<ac > with the work < 4639 ma<aseh >
of their hands <3027 yad >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



31 For this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > hath been <1961
hayah > to me [as] a provocation <3708 ka<ac > of mine anger
<0639 >aph > and of my fury <2534 chemah > from the day <3119
yowmam > that they built <1129 banah > it even unto this <2088

from before <5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym >,



32 Because <5921 <al > of all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< >
of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and of
the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which <0834

<3707 ka<ac >, they, their kings <4428 melek >, their princes
<8269 sar >, their priests <3548 kohen >, and their prophets
<5030 nabiy> >, and the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >, and the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



33 And they have turned <6437 panah > unto me the back < 6203
<oreph >, and not the face <6440 paniym >: though I taught <3925
lamad > them, rising <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > and
teaching <3925 lamad > [them], yet they have not hearkened <8085

34 But they set <7760 suwm > their abominations <8251 shiqquwts

<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >, to defile <2930 tame> >
it.



35 And they built <1129 banah > the high <1116 bamah > places
of Baal <1168 Ba<al >, which <0834 >aher > [are] in the valley
<1516 gay> > of the son <1121 ben > of Hinnom < 2011 Hinnom >, to
cause <4616 ma<an > their sons <1121 ben > and their daughters
<1121 ben > to pass <5674 <abar > through [the fire <0784 >esh

<6680 tsavah > them not, neither <3808 lo> > came <5927 <alah >
it into <5921 <al > my mind <3820 leb >, that they should do
<6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > abomination <8441 tow<ebah >,
to cause Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > to sin <2398 chata> >.



36 And now <6258 <attah > therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh

this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, whereof <0834 >aher > ye
say <0559 >amar >, It shall be delivered <5414 nathan > into the
hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894
Babel > by the sword <2719 chereb >, and by the famine <7458
ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >;



37 Behold <2005 hen >, I will gather <6908 qabats > them out of
all <3605 kol > countries <0776 >erets >, whither I have driven
<5080 nadach > them in mine anger <0639 >aph >, and in my fury
<2534 chemah >, and in great <1419 gadowl > wrath < 7110 qetseph

this place <4725 maqowm >, and I will cause them to dwell <3427
yashab > safely <0983 betach >:



38 And they shall be my people <5971 <am >, and I will be their
God <0430 >elohiym >:



39 And I will give <5414 nathan > them one <0259 > echad > heart

may fear <3372 yare> > me for ever, for the good < 2896 towb > of
them, and of their children <1121 ben > after <0310 > achar >
them:



40 And I will make <3772 karath > an everlasting <5769 <owlam >
covenant <1285 b@riyth > with them, that I will not turn <7725
shuwb > away from them, to do them good <3190 yatab >; but I
will put <5414 nathan > my fear <3374 yir>ah > in their hearts
<3824 lebab >, that they shall not depart <5493 cuwr > from me.



41 Yea, I will rejoice <7797 suws > over <5921 <al > them to do
them good <2895 towb >, and I will plant <5193 nata< > them in
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets > assuredly <0571 >emeth >
with my whole <3605 kol > heart <3820 leb > and with my whole

42 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Like as I have brought <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol >
this <2063 zo>th > great <1419 gadowl > evil < 7451 ra< > upon

<0935 bow> > upon them all <3605 kol > the good <2896 towb >
that I have promised <1696 dabar > them.



43 And fields <7704 sadeh > shall be bought <7069 qanah > in
this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, whereof <0834 >aher > ye
say <0559 >amar >, [It is] desolate <8077 sh@mamah > without

given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the Chaldeans
<3778 Kasdiy >.



44 Men shall buy <7069 qanah > fields <7704 sadeh > for money
<3701 keceph >, and subscribe <3789 kathab > evidences <5612
cepher >, and seal <2856 chatham > [them], and take < 5749 <uwd >

Jeremiah 33



1. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the second
<8145 sheniy > time, while he was yet <5750 <owd > shut <6113

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
the maker <6213 <asah > thereof, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that
formed <3335 yatsar > it, to establish <3559 kuwn > it; the LORD

3 Call <7121 qara> > unto me, and I will answer < 6030 <anah >
thee, and shew <5046 nagad > thee great <1419 gadowl > and

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

5 They come <0935 bow> > to fight <3898 lacham > with the

6 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <4608 ma<aleh > it health

7 And I will cause the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > and the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > to return <7725 shuwb >, and will build <1129
banah > them, as at the first <7223 ri>shown >.



8 And I will cleanse <2891 taher > them from all <3605 kol >
their iniquity <5771 <avon >, whereby <0834 >aher > they have
sinned <2398 chata> > against me; and I will pardon < 5545 calach

9 And it shall be to me a name <8034 shem > of joy < 8342 sasown

before all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth

10. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<0776 >erets >, as at the first <7223 ri>shown > , saith <0559

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

13 In the cities <5892 <iyr > of the mountains <2022 har >, in
the cities <5892 <iyr > of the vale <8219 sh@phelah >, and in
the cities <5892 <iyr > of the south <5045 negeb >, and in the

14 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

15 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and at that time

16 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > shall Judah <3063

17. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

19 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

to reign <4427 malak > upon his throne <3678 kicce> >; and with
the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > the priests <3548 kohen >, my
ministers <8334 sharath >.



22 As the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > cannot
<3808 lo> > be numbered <5608 caphar >, neither <3808 lo> > the
sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > measured <4058 madad >:

Levites <3881 Leviyiy > that minister <8334 sharath > unto me.



23 Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559

24 Considerest <7200 ra>ah > thou not what <4100 mah > this
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > have spoken < 1696 dabar >, saying
<0559 >amar >, The two <8147 sh@nayim > families <4940
mishpachah > which <0834 >aher > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath
chosen <0977 bachar >, he hath even cast <3988 ma>ac > them off?
thus they have despised <5006 na>ats > my people < 5971 <am >,
that they should be no more <5750 <owd > a nation < 1471 gowy >
before <6440 paniym > them.



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

<3119 yowmam > and night <3915 layil >, [and if] I have not
appointed <7760 suwm > the ordinances <2708 chuqqah > of heaven
<8064 shamayim > and earth <0776 >erets >;



26 Then <1571 gam > will I cast <3988 ma>ac > away the seed
<2233 zera< > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and David <1732 David >
my servant <5650 <ebed >, [so] that I will not take < 3947 laqach

their captivity <7622 sh@buwth > to return <7725 shuwb >, and
have mercy <7355 racham > on them.



Jeremiah 34



1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah
> unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
when Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king < 4428 melek >
of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and all <3605 kol > his army <2428
chayil >, and all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > of
the earth <0776 >erets > of his dominion <4475 memshalah >, and
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, fought < 3898 lacham >
against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof,
saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Go <1980
halak > and speak <0559 >amar > to Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and tell <0559
>amar > him, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will give <5414 nathan > this
<2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > into the hand <3027 yad > of the
king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and he shall burn
<8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >:



3 And thou shalt not escape <4422 malat > out of his hand <3027
yad >, but shalt surely <3588 kiy > be taken <8610 taphas >, and
delivered <5414 nathan > into his hand <3027 yad >; and thine
eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > the eyes <5869
<ayin > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and
he shall speak <1696 dabar > with thee mouth <6310 peh > to
mouth <6310 peh >, and thou shalt go <0935 bow> > to Babylon
<0894 Babel >.



4 Yet <0389 >ak > hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, O Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thus < 3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of thee, Thou shalt not
die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >:



5 [But] thou shalt die <4191 muwth > in peace <7965 shalowm >:
and with the burnings <4955 misraphah > of thy fathers < 1>, the
former <7223 ri>shown > kings <4428 melek > which <0834 >aher >
were before <6440 paniym > thee, so <3651 ken > shall they burn
<8313 saraph > [odours] for thee; and they will lament < 5594
caphad > thee, [saying], Ah <1945 howy > lord <0113 >adown >!
for I have pronounced <1696 dabar > the word <1697 dabar >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



6 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
spake <1696 dabar > all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words
<1697 dabar > unto Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,



7 When the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army
<2428 chayil > fought <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al >
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against <5921 <al > all
<3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah < 3063 Y@huwdah >
that were left <3498 yathar >, against <0413 >el > Lachish <3923
Lachiysh >, and against <0413 >el > Azekah <5825 <Azeqah >: for
these <2007 hennah > defenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr
> remained <7604 sha>ar > of the cities <5892 < iyr > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah >.



8. [This is] the word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah >
unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
after <0310 >achar > that the king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667
Tsidqiyah > had made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth >
with all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > which <0834 >aher >
[were] at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, to proclaim < 7121
qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr > unto them;



9 That every man <0376 >iysh > should let his manservant <5650
<ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198
shiphchah >, [being] an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy > or an Hebrewess
<5680 <Ibriy >, go <7971 shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >; that
none <1115 biltiy > should serve <5647 <abad > himself of them,
[to wit], of a Jew <3064 Y@huwdiy > his brother <0251 >ach >.



10 Now when all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar >, and all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > had
entered <0935 bow> > into the covenant <1285 b@riyth >, heard
<8085 shama< > that every <0376 >iysh > one < 0376 >iysh > should
let his manservant <5650 <ebed >, and every <0376 > iysh > one
<0376 >iysh > his maidservant <8198 shiphchah >, go <7971
shalach > free <2670 chophshiy >, that none <1115 biltiy >
should serve <5647 <abad > themselves of them any more <5750
<owd >, then they obeyed <8085 shama< >, and let [them] go <7971
shalach >.



11 But afterward they turned <7725 shuwb >, and caused the
servants <5650 <ebed > and the handmaids <8198 shiphchah >, whom
<0834 >aher > they had let go <7971 shalach > free <2670
chophshiy >, to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought < 3533 kabash >
them into subjection <3533 kabash > for servants <5650 <ebed >
and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.



12 Therefore the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
>, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; I made
<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with your fathers <1>
in the day <3117 yowm > that I brought <3318 yatsa> > them forth
<3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, out of the house <1004 bayith > of bondmen <5650
<ebed >, saying <0559 >amar >,



14 At the end <7093 qets > of seven <7651 sheba< > years <8141
shaneh > let ye go <7971 shalach > every man <0376 >iysh > his
brother <0251 >ach > an Hebrew <5680 <Ibriy >, which <0834 >aher

he hath served <5647 <abad > thee six <8337 shesh > years <8141
shaneh >, thou shalt let him go <7971 shalach > free < 2670
chophshiy > from thee: but your fathers <1> hearkened <8085
shama< > not unto me, neither <3808 lo> > inclined <5186 natah >
their ear <0241 >ozen >.



15 And ye were now <3117 yowm > turned <7725 shuwb >, and had
done <6213 <asah > right <3477 yashar > in my sight <5869 <ayin
>, in proclaiming <7121 qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr > every man
<0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >; and ye had made
<3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > before < 6440 paniym >
me in the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > is called
<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >:



16 But ye turned <7725 shuwb > and polluted <2490 chalal > my
name <8034 shem >, and caused every man <0376 >iysh > his
servant <5650 <ebed >, and every man <0376 >iysh > his handmaid
<8198 shiphchah >, whom <0834 >aher > ye had set <7971 shalach >
at liberty <2670 chophshiy > at their pleasure <5315 nephesh >,
to return <7725 shuwb >, and brought <3533 kabash > them into
subjection <3533 kabash >, to be unto you for servants < 5650
<ebed > and for handmaids <8198 shiphchah >.



17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Ye have not hearkened <8085 shama< >
unto me, in proclaiming <7121 qara> > liberty <1865 d@rowr >,
every one <0376 >iysh > to his brother <0251 >ach >, and every
man <0376 >iysh > to his neighbour <7453 rea< >: behold <2005
hen >, I proclaim <7121 qara> > a liberty <1865 d@rowr > for you,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to the sword
<2719 chereb >, to the pestilence <1698 deber >, and to the
famine <7458 ra<ab >; and I will make <5414 nathan > you to be
removed <2189 za<avah > into all <3605 kol > the kingdoms <4467
mamlakah > of the earth <0776 >erets >.



18 And I will give <5414 nathan > the men <0582 > enowsh > that
have transgressed <5674 <abar > my covenant <1285 b@riyth >,
which <0834 >aher > have not performed <6965 quwm > the words
<1697 dabar > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > which <0834 >aher

they cut <3772 karath > the calf <5695 <egel > in twain <8147
sh@nayim >, and passed <5674 <abar > between <0996 beyn > the
parts <1335 bether > thereof,



19 The princes <8269 sar > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the
princes <8269 sar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, the
eunuchs <5631 cariyc >, and the priests <3548 kohen >, and all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land < 0776 >erets >,
which passed <5674 <abar > between <0996 beyn > the parts <1335
bether > of the calf <5695 <egel >;



20 I will even give <5414 nathan > them into the hand < 3027 yad

of them that seek <1245 baqash > their life <5315 nephesh >: and
their dead <5038 n@belah > bodies <5038 n@belah > shall be for
meat <3978 ma>akal > unto the fowls <5775 <owph > of the heaven
<8064 shamayim >, and to the beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the earth
<0776 >erets >.



21 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > and his princes <8269 sar > will I give <5414
nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of their enemies < 0341 >oyeb

the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army <2428
chayil >, which are gone <5927 <alah > up from you.



22 Behold <2005 hen >, I will command <6680 tsavah >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and cause them to return
<7725 shuwb > to this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >; and they
shall fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al > it, and take
<3920 lakad > it, and burn <8313 saraph > it with fire <0784

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > a desolation <8077 sh@mamah > without
<0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427 yashab >.



Jeremiah 35



1. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > came <1961 hayah
> unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
in the days <3117 yowm > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the
son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Go <1980 halak > unto the house <1004 bayith > of the
Rechabites <7397 Rekah >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them, and
bring <0935 bow> > them into the house <1004 bayith > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, into <0413 >el > one < 0259 >echad > of the
chambers <3957 lishkah >, and give them wine <3196 yayin > to
drink <8248 shaqah >.



3 Then I took <3947 laqach > Jaazaniah <2970 Ya> azanyah > the
son <1121 ben > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, the son <1121 ben

<3605 kol > house <1004 bayith > of the Rechabites <7397 Rekah >;



4 And I brought <0935 bow> > them into the house < 1004 bayith >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, into <0413 >el > the chamber <3957
lishkah > of the sons <1121 ben > of Hanan <2605 Chanan >, the
son <1121 ben > of Igdaliah <3012 Yigdalyahuw >, a man <0376

the chamber <2315 cheder > of the princes <8269 sar >, which
<0834 >aher > [was] above <4605 ma<al > the chamber <3957
lishkah > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the son < 1121 ben > of
Shallum <7967 Shalluwm >, the keeper <8104 shamar > of the door
<5592 caph >:



5 And I set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > the sons <1121

and cups <3563 kowc >, and I said <0559 >amar > unto them, Drink
<8354 shathah > ye wine <3196 yayin >.



6 But they said <0559 >amar >, We will drink <8354 shathah > no
<3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin >: for Jonadab < 3122 Yawnadab > the
son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > our father <1> commanded
<6680 tsavah > us, saying <0559 >amar >, Ye shall drink <8354
shathah > no <3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin >, [neither ye], nor
your sons <1121 ben > for ever <5769 <owlam >:



7 Neither <3808 lo> > shall ye build <1129 banah > house <1004

may live <2421 chayah > many <7227 rab > days < 3117 yowm > in
the land <0127 >adamah > where ye [be] strangers < 1481 guwr >.



8 Thus have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of
Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394
Rekab > our father <1> in all <3605 kol > that he hath charged

9 Nor <1115 biltiy > to build <1129 banah > houses <1004 bayith

<1961 hayah > we vineyard <3754 kerem >, nor field <7704 sadeh >,
nor seed <2233 zera< >:



10 But we have dwelt <3427 yashab > in tents <0168 > ohel >, and
have obeyed <8085 shama< >, and done <6213 <asah > according to
all <3605 kol > that Jonadab <3122 Yawnadab > our father <1>
commanded <6680 tsavah > us.



11 But it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar <5019
N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon < 0894 Babel >
came <5927 <alah > up into <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets >,
that we said <0559 >amar >, Come <0935 bow> >, and let us go

paniym > of the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans < 3778

of the Syrians <0758 >Aram >: so we dwell <3427 yashab > at
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



12. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

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

<8085 shama< > to my words <1697 dabar >? saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



14 The words <1697 dabar > of Jonadab <3082 Y@hownadab > the
son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab >, that he commanded <6680
tsavah > his sons <1121 ben > not to drink <8354 shathah > wine

rising <7925 shakam > early <7925 shakam > and speaking <1696

15 I have sent <7971 shalach > also unto you all <3605 kol > my

16 Because <3588 kiy > the sons <1121 ben > of Jonadab <3082
Y@hownadab > the son <1121 ben > of Rechab <7394 Rekab > have
performed <6965 quwm > the commandment <4687 mitsvah > of their

but this <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > hath not hearkened

17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >

called <7121 qara> > unto them, but they have not answered <6030

18 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto the
house <1004 bayith > of the Rechabites <7397 Rekah >, Thus <3541

Jeremiah 36



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fourth < 7243
r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym >
the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Take <3947 laqach > thee a roll <4039 m@gillah > of a book
<5612 cepher >, and write <3789 kathab > therein < 0413 >el > all
<3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that I have spoken <1696

and against <5921 <al > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and against
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy >, from the
day <3117 yowm > I spake <1696 dabar > unto thee, from the days
<3117 yowm > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah >, even unto this <2088

3 It may be that the house <1004 bayith > of Judah < 3063
Y@huwdah > will hear <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > the evil
<7451 ra< > which <0834 >aher > I purpose < 2803 chashab > to do
<6213 <asah > unto them; that they may return <7725 shuwb >
every man <0376 >iysh > from his evil <7451 ra< > way <1870
derek >; that I may forgive <5545 calach > their iniquity <5771
<avon > and their sin <2403 chatta>ah >.



4 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > called <7121 qara> > Baruch
<1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >:
and Baruch <1263 Baruwk > wrote <3789 kathab > from the mouth
<6310 peh > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > all <3605 kol > the
words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834
>aher > he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto him, upon a roll <4039
m@gillah > of a book <5612 cepher >.



5 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > commanded <6680 tsavah > Baruch
<1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, I [am] shut <6113 <atsar >
up; I cannot go <0935 bow> > into the house <1004 bayith > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:



6 Therefore go <0935 bow> > thou, and read <7121 qara> > in the
roll <4039 m@gillah >, which <0834 >aher > thou hast written
<3789 kathab > from my mouth <6310 peh >, the words <1697 dabar

people <5971 <am > in the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004

also <1571 gam > thou shalt read <7121 qara> > them in the ears
<0241 >ozen > of all <3605 kol > Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > that
come <0935 bow> > out of their cities <5892 <iyr >.



7 It may be they will present <5307 naphal > their supplication
<8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >,
and will return <7725 shuwb > every <0376 >iysh > one from his
evil <7451 ra< > way <1870 derek >: for great < 1419 gadowl >
[is] the anger <0639 >aph > and the fury <2534 chemah > that the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath pronounced <1696 dabar > against <0413

8 And Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374
Neriyah > did <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > that
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded
<6680 tsavah > him, reading <7121 qara> > in the book <5612
cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in
the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >.



9. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the fifth <2549
chamiyshiy > year <8141 shaneh > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym

melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, in the ninth <8671 t@shiy<iy

fast <6685 tsowm > before <6440 paniym > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah

Y@ruwshalaim >, and to all <3605 kol > the people < 5971 <am >
that came <0935 bow> > from the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



10 Then read <7121 qara> > Baruch <1263 Baruwk > in the book
<5612 cepher > the words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah

the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan > the scribe <5608
caphar >, in the higher <5945 >elyown > court < 2691 chatser >,
at the entry <6607 pethach > of the new <2319 chadash > gate
<8179 sha<ar > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith

<am >.



11 When Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > the son <1121 ben > of
Gemariah <1587 G@maryah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227
shaphan >, had heard <8085 shama< > out of the book <5612 cepher
> all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >,



12 Then he went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into the
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, into < 5921 <al > the
scribe's <5608 caphar > chamber <3957 lishkah >: and, lo <2009
hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sat <3427
yashab > there <8033 sham >, [even] Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< >
the scribe <5608 caphar >, and Delaiah <1806 D@layah > the son
<1121 ben > of Shemaiah <8098 Sh@ma<yah >, and Elnathan <0494
>Elnathan > the son <1121 ben > of Achbor <5907 <Akbowr >, and
Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227
shaphan >, and Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son < 1121 ben > of
Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >, and all <3605 kol > the princes
<8269 sar >.



13 Then Michaiah <4321 Miykay@huw > declared <5046 nagad > unto
them all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > that he had heard
<8085 shama< >, when Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read <7121 qara> >
the book <5612 cepher > in the ears <0241 >ozen > of the people
<5971 <am >.



14 Therefore all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > sent <7971
shalach > Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > the son <1121 ben > of
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah
<8018 Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Cushi < 3569 Kuwshiy >,
unto Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947
laqach > in thine hand <3027 yad > the roll <4039 m@gillah >
wherein <0834 >aher > thou hast read <7121 qara> > in the ears
<0241 >ozen > of the people <5971 <am >, and come <3212 yalak >.
So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374
Neriyah > took <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah > in his
hand <3027 yad >, and came <0935 bow> > unto them.



15 And they said <0559 >amar > unto him, Sit <3427 yashab >
down now <4994 na> >, and read <7121 qara> > it in our ears
<0241 >ozen >. So Baruch <1263 Baruwk > read < 7121 qara> > [it]
in their ears <0241 >ozen >.



16 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when they had heard <8085
shama< > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > , they were
afraid <6342 pachad > both <0413 >el > one < 0376 >iysh > and
other <7453 rea< >, and said <0559 >amar > unto Baruch <1263
Baruwk >, We will surely tell <5046 nagad > the king < 4428 melek
> of all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >.



17 And they asked <7592 sha>al > Baruch <1263 Baruwk >, saying
<0559 >amar >, Tell <5046 nagad > us now <4994 na> >, How <0349
>eyk > didst thou write <3789 kathab > all <3605 kol > these
<0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > at his mouth <6310 peh >?



18 Then Baruch <1263 Baruwk > answered <0559 >amar > them, He
pronounced <7126 qarab > all <3605 kol > these < 0428 >el-leh >
words <1697 dabar > unto me with his mouth <6310 peh > , and I
wrote <3789 kathab > [them] with ink <1773 d@yow > in the book
<5612 cepher >.



19 Then said <0559 >amar > the princes <8269 sar > unto Baruch
<1263 Baruwk >, Go <3212 yalak >, hide <5641 cathar > thee, thou
and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >; and let no <0408 >al > man <0376
>iysh > know <3045 yada< > where <0375 > eyphoh > ye be.



20. And they went <0935 bow> > in to the king <4428 melek >
into the court <2691 chatser >, but they laid <6485 paqad > up
the roll <4039 m@gillah > in the chamber <3957 lishkah > of
Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< > the scribe <5608 caphar >, and told
<5046 nagad > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > in the
ears <0241 >ozen > of the king <4428 melek >.



21 So the king <4428 melek > sent <7971 shalach > Jehudi <3065
Y@huwdiy > to fetch <3947 laqach > the roll <4039 m@gillah >:
and he took <3947 laqach > it out of Elishama <0476 > Eliyshama<
> the scribe's <5608 caphar > chamber <3957 lishkah >. And
Jehudi <3065 Y@huwdiy > read <7121 qara> > it in the ears <0241
>ozen > of the king <4428 melek >, and in the ears <0241 >ozen >
of all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > which stood <5975
<amad > beside <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek >.



22 Now the king <4428 melek > sat <3427 yashab > in the
winterhouse <2779 choreph > in the ninth <8671 t@shiy< iy > month
<2320 chodesh >: and [there was a fire] on the hearth < 0254 >ach

23 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jehudi <3065
Y@huwdiy > had read <7121 qara> > three <7969 shalowsh > or four
<0702 >arba< > leaves <1817 deleth >, he cut <7167 qara< > it
with the penknife <8593 ta<ar >, and cast <7933 sheken > [it]
into <0413 >el > the fire <0784 >esh > that [was] on <0413 >el >
the hearth <0254 >ach >, until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the
roll <4039 m@gillah > was consumed <8552 tamam > in the fire
<0784 >esh > that [was] on <5921 <al > the hearth <0254 >ach >.



24 Yet they were not afraid <6342 pachad >, nor <3808 lo> >
rent <7167 qara< > their garments <0899 beged >, [neither] the
king <4428 melek >, nor any <3605 kol > of his servants <5650
<ebed > that heard <8085 shama< > all <3605 kol > these <0428
>el-leh > words <1697 dabar >.



25 Nevertheless <1571 gam > Elnathan <0494 >Elnathan > and
Delaiah <1806 D@layah > and Gemariah <1587 G@maryah > had made
intercession <6293 paga< > to the king <4428 melek > that he
would not burn <8313 saraph > the roll <4039 m@gillah >: but he
would not hear <8085 shama< > them.



26 But the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >
Jerahmeel <3396 Y@rachm@>el > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech
<4429 Melek >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben >
of Azriel <5837 <Azriy>el >, and Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > the
son <1121 ben > of Abdeel <5655 <Abd@>el >, to take <3947 laqach
> Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the scribe <5608 caphar > and Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >: but the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > hid <5641 cathar > them.



27 Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, after < 0310 >achar >
that the king <4428 melek > had burned <8313 saraph > the roll
<4039 m@gillah >, and the words <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher

peh > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 > amar >,



28 Take <3947 laqach > thee again <7725 shuwb > another <0312
>acher > roll <4039 m@gillah >, and write <3789 kathab > in it
all <3605 kol > the former <7223 ri>shown > words <1697 dabar >
that were in the first <7223 ri>shown > roll <4039 m@gillah >,
which <0834 >aher > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > the king <4428
melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > hath burned <8313 saraph >.



29 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar > to Jehoiakim < 3079
Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, Thus
<3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Thou
hast burned <8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > roll <4039
m@gillah >, saying <0559 >amar >, Why <4069 madduwa< > hast thou
written <3789 kathab > therein <5921 <al >, saying <0559 >amar >,
The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall certainly
come <0935 bow> > and destroy <7843 shachath > this <2063 zo>th

from thence man <0120 >adam > and beast <0929 b@hemah >?



30 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; He shall have <1961
hayah > none <3808 lo> > to sit <3427 yashab > upon the throne
<3678 kicce> > of David <1732 David >: and his dead <5038
n@belah > body <5038 n@belah > shall be cast <7933 sheken > out
in the day <3117 yowm > to the heat <2721 choreb >, and in the
night <3915 layil > to the frost <7140 qerach >.



31 And I will punish <6485 paqad > him and his seed < 2233 zera<
> and his servants <5650 <ebed > for their iniquity <5771 <avon

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,
and upon the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, all
<3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that I have pronounced <1691
Diblayim > against <0413 >el > them; but they hearkened <8085
shama< > not.



32 Then took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > another
<0312 >acher > roll <4039 m@gillah >, and gave < 5414 nathan > it
to Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the scribe <5608 caphar >, the son
<1121 ben > of Neriah <5374 Neriyah >; who wrote < 3789 kathab >
therein <5921 <al > from the mouth <6310 peh > of Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > all <3605 kol > the words <1697 dabar > of the book
<5612 cepher > which <0834 >aher > Jehoiakim < 3079 Y@howyaqiym >
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > had burned <8313
saraph > in the fire <0784 >esh >: and there were added <3254
yacaph > besides <5750 <owd > unto them many <7227 rab > like
<1922 hadar > words <1697 dabar >.



Jeremiah 37



1. And king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the son
<1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > reigned <4427 malak >
instead <8478 tachath > of Coniah <3659 Konyahuw > the son <1121

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > made king <4428 melek > in the land <0776

2 But neither <3808 lo> > he, nor his servants <5650 <ebed >,
nor the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 > erets >, did
hearken <8085 shama< > unto the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > he spake < 1696 dabar > by
the prophet <5030 nabiy> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



3 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent
<7971 shalach > Jehucal <3081 Y@huwkal > the son < 1121 ben > of
Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah > and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah > the
son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4641 Ma<aseyah > the priest <3548

saying <0559 >amar >, Pray <6419 palal > now < 4994 na> > unto
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > for us.



4 Now Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > came <0935 bow> > in and went
<3318 yatsa> > out among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am >:
for they had not put <5414 nathan > him into prison.



5 Then Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil > was come
<3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim

tidings <8088 shema< > of them, they departed <5927 <alah > from
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



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

Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



7 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Thus <3541
koh > shall ye say <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that sent <7971 shalach > you unto me to
enquire <1875 darash > of me; Behold <2005 hen >, Pharaoh's
<6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil >, which is come <3318 yatsa> >
forth <3318 yatsa> > to help <5833 <ezrah > you, shall return
<7725 shuwb > to Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > into their own land
<0776 >erets >.



8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall come <7725 shuwb >
again <7725 shuwb >, and fight <3898 lacham > against <5921 <al
> this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >, and take <3920 lakad >
it, and burn <8313 saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >.



9 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Deceive <5377 nasha> > not yourselves <5315 nephesh >, saying
<0559 >amar >, The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall surely depart
<1980 halak > from us: for they shall not depart <1980 halak >.



10 For though <0518 >im > ye had smitten <5221 nakah > the
whole <3605 kol > army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778
Kasdiy > that fight <3898 lacham > against you, and there
remained <7604 sha>ar > [but] wounded <1856 daqar > men <0582
>enowsh > among them, [yet] should they rise <6965 quwm > up
every man <0376 >iysh > in his tent <0168 >ohel >, and burn
<8313 saraph > this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > with fire
<0784 >esh >.



11. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, that when the army <2428
chayil > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > was broken < 5927 <alah
> up from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > for fear < 6440 paniym >
of Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh > army <2428 chayil >,



12 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > out of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > to go <3212
yalak > into the land <0776 >erets > of Benjamin < 1144 Binyamiyn
>, to separate <2505 chalaq > himself thence <8033 sham > in the
midst <8432 tavek > of the people <5971 <am >.



13 And when he was in the gate <8179 sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144
Binyamiyn >, a captain <1167 ba<al > of the ward < 6488 p@qiduth
> [was] there <8033 sham >, whose name <8034 shem > [was] Irijah
<3376 Yir>iyayh >, the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah <8018
Shelemyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Hananiah <2608 Chananyah >;
and he took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thou fallest <5307 naphal
> away to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >.



14 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, [It is]
false <8267 sheqer >; I fall <5307 naphal > not away to the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >. But he hearkened <8085 shama< > not to
him: so Irijah <3376 Yir>iyayh > took <8610 taphas > Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah >, and brought <0935 bow> > him to the princes
<8269 sar >.



15 Wherefore the princes <8269 sar > were wroth <7107 qatsaph >
with Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and smote <5221 nakah > him, and
put <5414 nathan > him in prison <0612 >ecuwr > in the house
<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608
caphar >: for they had made <6213 <asah > that the prison <3608
kele> >.



16 When <3588 kiy > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > was entered <0935
bow> > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr >, and into <0413
>el > the cabins <2588 chanuwth >, and Jeremiah < 3414 Yirm@yah >
had remained <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham > many <7227 rab >
days <3117 yowm >;



17 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent
<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > him out: and the king
<4428 melek > asked <7592 sha>al > him secretly <5643 cether >
in his house <1004 bayith >, and said <0559 >amar > , Is there
[any] word <1697 dabar > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ? And
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, There is: for,
said <0559 >amar > he, thou shalt be delivered <5414 nathan >
into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek > of Babylon
<0894 Babel >.



18 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 > amar > unto
king <4428 melek > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, What <4100 mah >
have I offended <2398 chata> > against thee, or against thy
servants <5650 <ebed >, or against this <2088 zeh > people <5971
<am >, that ye have put <5414 nathan > me in prison?



19 Where <0346 >ayeh > [are] now your prophets <5030 nabiy> >
which <0834 >aher > prophesied <5012 naba> > unto you, saying
<0559 >amar >, The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >
shall not come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > you, nor against
<5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >?



20 Therefore hear <8085 shama< > now <6254 < Asht@rathiy >, I
pray <4994 na> > thee, O my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428
melek >: let my supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, I pray <4994 na>
> thee, be accepted <5307 naphal > before <6440 paniym > thee;
that thou cause me not to return <7725 shuwb > to the house
<1004 bayith > of Jonathan <3083 Y@hownathan > the scribe <5608
caphar >, lest <3808 lo> > I die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham
>.



21 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek >
commanded <6680 tsavah > that they should commit <6458 pacal >
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > into the court <2691 chatser > of the
prison <4307 mattara> >, and that they should give < 5414 nathan
> him daily <3117 yowm > a piece <3603 kikkar > of bread <3899
lechem > out of the bakers <0644 >aphah >' street < 2351 chuwts >,
until <5704 <ad > all <3605 kol > the bread < 3899 lechem > in
the city <5892 <iyr > were spent <8552 tamam >. Thus Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > remained <3427 yashab > in the court <2691
chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> >.



Jeremiah 38



1. Then Shephatiah <8203 Sh@phatyah > the son <1121 ben > of
Mattan <4977 Mattan >, and Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son
<1121 ben > of Pashur <6583 Pashchuwr >, and Jucal <3116 Yuwkal
> the son <1121 ben > of Shelemiah <8018 Shelemyah >, and Pashur
<6583 Pashchuwr > the son <1121 ben > of Malchiah < 4441 Malkiyah

<3414 Yirm@yah > had spoken <1696 dabar > unto all <3605 kol >
the people <5971 <am >, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
He that remaineth <3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >,
by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence < 1698 deber
>: but he that goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > shall live <2421 chayah >; for he shall
have his life <5315 nephesh > for a prey <7998 shalal >, and
shall live <2425 chayay >.



3 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
This <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr > shall surely be given
<5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the king <4428 melek
> of Babylon's <0894 Babel > army <2428 chayil >, which shall
take <3920 lakad > it.



4 Therefore the princes <8269 sar > said <0559 >amar > unto the
king <4428 melek >, We beseech <4994 na> > thee, let this <2088
zeh > man <0376 >iysh > be put to death <4191 muwth >: for thus
he weakeneth <7503 raphah > the hands <3027 yad > of the men
<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > that remain <7604
sha>ar > in this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 < iyr >, and the hands
<3027 yad > of all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, in
speaking <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >
unto them: for this <2088 zeh > man <0376 >iysh > seeketh <1875
darash > not the welfare <7965 shalowm > of this < 2088 zeh >
people <5971 <am >, but the hurt <7451 ra< >.



5 Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said
<0559 >amar >, Behold <2009 hinneh >, he [is] in your hand <3027
yad >: for the king <4428 melek > [is] not [he that] can <3201
yakol > do [any] thing <1697 dabar > against you.



6 Then took <3947 laqach > they Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and
cast <7933 sheken > him into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953 bowr
> of Malchiah <4441 Malkiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Hammelech
<4429 Melek >, that [was] in the court <2691 chatser > of the
prison <4307 mattara> >: and they let <7971 shalach > down <7971
shalach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > with cords <2256 chebel >.
And in the dungeon <0953 bowr > [there was] no <0369 > ayin >
water <4325 mayim >, but mire <2916 tiyt >: so Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > sunk <2883 taba< > in the mire <2916 tiyt >.



7 Now when Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569
Kuwshiy >, one <0376 >iysh > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > which
<1931 huw> > was in the king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith

Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > in the dungeon <0953 bowr >; the king
<4428 melek > then sitting <3427 yashab > in the gate <8179
sha<ar > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >;



8 Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > went <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > out of the king's <4428 melek > house <1004
bayith >, and spake <1696 dabar > to the king <4428 melek >,
saying <0559 >amar >,



9 My lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek >, these <0428
>el-leh > men <0582 >enowsh > have done evil < 7489 ra<a< > in
all <3605 kol > that they have done <6213 <asah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, whom they have cast
<7933 sheken > into <0413 >el > the dungeon < 0953 bowr >; and he
is like to die <4191 muwth > for hunger <7457 ra<eb > in the
place <8478 tachath > where <8478 tachath > he is: for [there
is] no <0369 >ayin > more <5750 <owd > bread <3899 lechem > in
the city <5892 <iyr >.



10 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <6680 tsavah >
Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Take <3947 laqach > from hence <2088 zeh >
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > men <0582 >enowsh > with thee, and
take <3947 laqach > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet
<5030 nabiy> > out of the dungeon <0953 bowr >, before <2962
terem > he die <4191 muwth >.



11 So Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > took <3947 laqach > the
men <0582 >enowsh > with him, and went <0935 bow> > into the
house <1004 bayith > of the king <4428 melek > under the
treasury <0214 >owtsar >, and took <3947 laqach > thence <8033
sham > old <1094 b@low> > cast <5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499
c@chabah > and old <1094 b@low> > rotten <4418 malach > rags
<4418 malach >, and let <7971 shalach > them down < 7971 shalach
> by cords <2256 chebel > into <0413 >el > the dungeon <0953
bowr > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



12 And Ebedmelech <5663 <Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian < 3569
Kuwshiy > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Put
<7760 suwm > now <4994 na> > [these] old <1094 b@low> > cast
<5499 c@chabah > clouts <5499 c@chabah > and rotten <4418 malach

<8478 tachath > the cords <2256 chebel >. And Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > did <6213 <asah > so <3651 ken >.



13 So they drew <4900 mashak > up Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >
with cords <2256 chebel >, and took <5927 <alah > him up out of
the dungeon <0953 bowr >: and Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > remained
<3427 yashab > in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307
mattara> >.



14. Then Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sent
<7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach > Jeremiah < 3414 Yirm@yah
> the prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto him into <0413 >el > the third
<7992 sh@liyshiy > entry <3996 mabow> > that [is] in the house
<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and the king <4428
melek > said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I
will ask <7592 sha>al > thee a thing <1697 dabar >; hide <3582
kachad > nothing from me.



15 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, If <0518 >im > I declare <5046 nagad
> [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death < 4191
muwth >? and if <0518 >im > I give thee counsel < 3289 ya<ats >,
wilt thou not hearken <8085 shama< > unto me?



16 So Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > sware
<7650 shaba< > secretly <5643 cether > unto Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >, [As] the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >
liveth <2416 chay >, that made <6213 <asah > us this <2063 zo>th

hand <3027 yad > of these <0428 >el-leh > men < 0582 >enowsh >
that seek <1245 baqash > thy life <5315 nephesh >.



17 Then said <0559 >amar > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >, Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba>

>im > thou wilt assuredly <3318 yatsa> > go < 3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > unto the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894
Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then thy soul <5315 nephesh > shall
live <2421 chayah >, and this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >
shall not be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 > esh >; and
thou shalt live <2421 chayah >, and thine house <1004 bayith >:



18 But if <0518 >im > thou wilt not go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's <0894
Babel > princes <8269 sar >, then shall this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad >
of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and they shall burn < 8313
saraph > it with fire <0784 >esh >, and thou shalt not escape
<4422 malat > out of their hand <3027 yad >.



19 And Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > said
<0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, I am afraid <1672
da>ag > of the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that are fallen <5307
naphal > to the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, lest <6435 pen > they
deliver <5414 nathan > me into their hand <3027 yad >, and they
mock <5953 <alal > me.



20 But Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar >, They shall
not deliver <5414 nathan > [thee]. Obey <8085 shama< >, I
beseech <4994 na> > thee, the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > I speak < 1696 dabar > unto
thee: so it shall be well <3190 yatab > unto thee, and thy soul
<5315 nephesh > shall live <2421 chayah >.



21 But if thou refuse <3986 ma>en > to go <3318 yatsa> > forth
<3318 yatsa> >, this <2088 zeh > [is] the word < 1697 dabar >
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath shewed <7200 ra>ah > me:



22 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, all <3605 kol > the women <0802
>ishshah > that are left <7604 sha>ar > in the king <4428 melek
> of Judah's <3063 Y@huwdah > house <1004 bayith > [shall be]
brought <3318 yatsa> > forth <4163 mowtsa>ah > to the king <4428
melek > of Babylon's <0894 Babel > princes <8269 sar >, and
those <2007 hennah > [women] shall say <0559 >amar >, Thy
friends have set <5496 cuwth > thee on, and have prevailed <3201
yakol > against thee: thy feet <7272 regel > are sunk <2883
taba< > in the mire <1206 bots >, [and] they are turned <5472
cuwg > away back <0268 >achowr >.



23 So they shall bring <4672 matsa> > out all <3605 kol > thy
wives <0802 >ishshah > and thy children <1121 ben > to the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: and thou shalt not escape < 4422 malat

<0894 Babel >: and thou shalt cause this <2063 zo>th > city
<5892 <iyr > to be burned <8313 saraph > with fire <0784 >esh >.



24 Then said <0559 >amar > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > unto
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, Let no <0408 >al > man <0376 >iysh >
know <3045 yada< > of these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >,
and thou shalt not die <4191 muwth >.



25 But if <3588 kiy > the princes <8269 sar > hear <8085 shama<
> that I have talked <1696 dabar > with thee, and they come
<0935 bow> > unto thee, and say <0559 >amar > unto thee, Declare
<5046 nagad > unto us now <4994 na> > what < 4100 mah > thou hast
said <1696 dabar > unto the king <4428 melek >, hide <3582
kachad > it not from us, and we will not put thee to death < 4191
muwth >; also what <4100 mah > the king <4428 melek > said <1696
dabar > unto thee:



26 Then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > unto them, I presented
<5307 naphal > my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440
paniym > the king <4428 melek >, that he would not cause me to
return <7725 shuwb > to Jonathan's <3129 Yownathan > house <1004
bayith >, to die <4191 muwth > there <8033 sham >.



27 Then came <0935 bow> > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar

and he told <5046 nagad > them according to all <3605 kol >
these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar > that the king <4428
melek > had commanded <6680 tsavah >. So they left < 2790 charash

dabar > was not perceived <8085 shama< >.



28 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > abode <3427 yashab > in the
court <2691 chatser > of the prison <4307 mattara> > until <5704
<ad > the day <3117 yowm > that Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
was taken <3920 lakad >: and he was [there] when <0834 >aher >
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > was taken <3920 lakad > .

<2320 chodesh >, the city <5892 <iyr > was broken <1234 baqa< >
up.



3 And all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > of the king <4428
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> > in, and sat
<3427 yashab > in the middle <8484 tiykown > gate < 8179 sha<ar >,
[even] Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, Samgarnebo
<5562 Camgar N@bow >, Sarsechim <8310 Sarc@kiym >, Rabsaris
<7249 Rab-Cariyc >, Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar> etser >,
Rabmag <7248 Rab-Mag >, with all <3605 kol > the residue <7611
sh@>eriyth > of the princes <8269 sar > of the king <4428 melek
> of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when <0834 >aher >
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > saw <7200 ra>ah > them, and all <3605 kol > the men
<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah >, then they fled <1272
barach >, and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of
the city <5892 <iyr > by night <3915 layil >, by the way <1870
derek > of the king's <4428 melek > garden <1588 gan >, by the
gate <8179 sha<ar > betwixt <0996 beyn > the two <8147 sh@nayim
> walls <2346 chowmah >: and he went <3318 yatsa> > out the way
<1870 derek > of the plain <6160 <arabah >.



5 But the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >' army <2428 chayil > pursued
<7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > them, and overtook <5381
nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the plains < 6160 <arabah >
of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow >: and when they had taken < 3947
laqach > him, they brought <5927 <alah > him up to
Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776
>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >, where he gave < 1696 dabar >
judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.



6 Then the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew
<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah < 6667 Tsidqiyah
> in Riblah <7247 Riblah > before his eyes <5869 < ayin >: also
the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew <7819
shachat > all <3605 kol > the nobles <2715 chor > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >.



7 Moreover he put <5786 <avar > out Zedekiah's eyes < 5869 <ayin
>, and bound <0631 >acar > him with chains <5178 n@chosheth >,
to carry <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894 Babel >.



8 And the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > burned <8313 saraph > the
king's <4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >, and the houses <1004
bayith > of the people <5971 <am >, with fire < 0784 >esh >, and
brake <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > the walls <2346
chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



9 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain < 7227 rab >
of the guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away captive
<1540 galah > into Babylon <0894 Babel > the remnant <3499
yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained < 7604 sha>ar >
in the city <5892 <iyr >, and those that fell <5307 naphal >
away, that fell <5307 naphal > to him, with the rest < 3499
yether > of the people <5971 <am > that remained < 7604 sha>ar >.



10 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain of the
guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > of the poor <1800 dal
> of the people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > had nothing, in
the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and gave
<5414 nathan > them vineyards <3754 kerem > and fields <3010
yageb > at the same <1931 huw> > time <3117 yowm >.



11. Now Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > gave charge <6680 tsavah >
concerning <5921 <al > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > to Nebuzaradan
<5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876
tabbach >, saying <0559 >amar >,



12 Take <3947 laqach > him, and look <7760 suwm > well to him,
and do <6213 <asah > him no <0408 >al > harm <7451 ra< >; but do
<6213 <asah > unto him even <3651 ken > as he shall say <1696
dabar > unto thee.



13 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain < 7227 rab >
of the guard <2876 tabbach > sent <7971 shalach >, and
Nebushasban <5021 N@buwshazban >, Rabsaris <7249 Rab- Cariyc >,
and Nergalsharezer <5371 Nergal Shar>etser >, Rabmag < 7248 Rab-
Mag >, and all <3605 kol > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon's
<0894 Babel > princes <7227 rab >;



14 Even they sent <7971 shalach >, and took <3947 laqach >
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > out of the court <2691 chatser > of
the prison <4307 mattara> >, and committed <5414 nathan > him
unto Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,
that he should carry <3318 yatsa> > him home <1004 bayith >: so
he dwelt <3427 yashab > among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am
>.



15 Now the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came
<1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, while he was shut
<6113 <atsar > up in the court <2691 chatser > of the prison
<4307 mattara> >, saying <0559 >amar >,



16 Go <1980 halak > and speak <0559 >amar > to Ebedmelech <5663
<Ebed Melek > the Ethiopian <3569 Kuwshiy >, saying <0559 >amar
>, Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> >
my words <1697 dabar > upon this <2063 zo>th > city <5892 <iyr >
for evil <7451 ra< >, and not for good <2896 towb > ; and they
shall be [accomplished] in that day <3117 yowm > before < 6440
paniym > thee.



17 But I will deliver <5337 natsal > thee in that day < 3117
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and thou
shalt not be given <5414 nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of
the men <0582 >enowsh > of whom thou [art] afraid < 3025 yagor >.



18 For I will surely deliver <4422 malat > thee, and thou shalt
not fall <5307 naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb >, but thy
life <5315 nephesh > shall be for a prey <7998 shalal > unto
thee: because <3588 kiy > thou hast put thy trust <0982 batach >
in me, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .



Jeremiah 40



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > from the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, after <0310
>achar > that Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain <7227
rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > had let him go < 7971 shalach
> from Ramah <7414 Ramah >, when he had taken <3947 laqach > him
being bound <0631 >acar > in chains <0246 > aziqqiym > among
<8432 tavek > all <3605 kol > that were carried < 1546 galuwth >
away captive <1546 galuwth > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >
and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which were carried <1540 galah >
away captive <1540 galah > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >.



2 And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > took
<3947 laqach > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, and said <0559 >amar >
unto him, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 > elohiym > hath
pronounced <1691 Diblayim > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< >
upon this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



3 Now the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath brought <0935 bow> > [it],
and done <6213 <asah > according as he hath said < 1696 dabar >:
because <3588 kiy > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > his
voice <6963 qowl >, therefore this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar

4 And now <6258 <attah >, behold <2009 hinneh >, I loose <6605
pathach > thee this day <3117 yowm > from the chains < 0246
>aziqqiym > which <0834 >aher > [were] upon thine hand <3027 yad

thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >,
come <0935 bow> >; and I will look <7760 suwm > well unto thee:
but if <0518 >im > it seem <5869 <ayin > ill <7489 ra<a< > unto
thee to come <0935 bow> > with me into Babylon <0894 Babel >,
forbear <2308 chadal >: behold <7200 ra>ah >, all <3605 kol >
the land <0776 >erets > [is] before <6440 paniym > thee: whither
<0413 >el > it seemeth <5869 <ayin > good < 2896 towb > and
convenient <3477 yashar > for thee to go <3212 yalak > , thither
<8033 sham > go <3212 yalak >.



5 Now while he was not yet <5750 <owd > gone <7725 shuwb > back
<7725 shuwb >, [he said], Go <7725 shuwb > back < 7725 shuwb >
also to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >,
whom <0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894
Babel > hath made governor <6485 paqad > over the cities <5892
<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and dwell <3427 yashab > with
him among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am >: or <0176 >ow >
go <3212 yalak > wheresoever it seemeth <5869 <ayin > convenient
<3477 yashar > unto thee to go <3212 yalak >. So the captain
<7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach > gave < 5414 nathan > him
victuals <0737 >aruchah > and a reward <4864 mas> eth >, and let
him go <7971 shalach >.



6 Then went <0935 bow> > Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > unto
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296
>Achiyqam > to Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >; and dwelt < 3427 yashab >
with him among <8432 tavek > the people <5971 <am > that were
left <7604 sha>ar > in the land <0776 >erets >.



7. Now when all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of the
forces <2428 chayil > which <0834 >aher > [were] in the fields
<7704 sadeh >, [even] they and their men <0582 > enowsh >, heard
<8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894
Babel > had made Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son < 1121 ben >
of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > governor <6485 paqad > in the land
<0776 >erets >, and had committed <6485 paqad > unto him men
<0582 >enowsh >, and women <0802 >ishshah >, and children <2945
taph >, and of the poor <1803 dallah > of the land < 0776 >erets

<1540 galah > to Babylon <0894 Babel >;



8 Then they came <0935 bow> > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > to
Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >, even Ishmael <3458 Yishma< e>l > the son
<1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and Johanan <3110
Yowchanan > and Jonathan <3129 Yownathan > the sons < 1121 ben >
of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son
<1121 ben > of Tanhumeth <8576 Tanchumeth >, and the sons <1121
ben > of Ephai <5778 <Owphay > the Netophathite < 5200
N@tophathiy >, and Jezaniah <3153 Y@zanyah > the son < 1121 ben >
of a Maachathite <4602 Ma<akathiy >, they and their men <0582
>enowsh >.



9 And Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >
sware <7650 shaba< > unto them and to their men <0582 >enowsh >,
saying <0559 >amar >, Fear <3372 yare> > not to serve <5647
<abad > the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: dwell <3427 yashab > in
the land <0776 >erets >, and serve <5647 <abad > the king <4428
melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, and it shall be well <3190
yatab > with you.



10 As for me, behold <2005 hen >, I will dwell <3427 yashab >
at Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh > to serve <5975 <amad > the Chaldeans
<3778 Kasdiy >, which <0834 >aher > will come < 0935 bow> > unto
us: but ye, gather <0622 >acaph > ye wine <3196 yayin >, and
summer <7019 qayits > fruits, and oil <8081 shemen >, and put
<7760 suwm > [them] in your vessels <3627 k@liy >, and dwell
<3427 yashab > in your cities <5892 <iyr > that ye have taken
<8610 taphas >.



11 Likewise <1571 gam > when all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064
Y@huwdiy > that [were] in Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and among the
Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, and in Edom <0123 > Edom >, and that
[were] in all <3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets >, heard
<8085 shama< > that the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894
Babel > had left <5414 nathan > a remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and that he had set <6485 paqad > over

of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227

12 Even all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > returned
<7725 shuwb > out of all <3605 kol > places <4725 maqowm >
whither they were driven <5080 nadach >, and came <0935 bow> >
to the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, to
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >, unto Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh > , and
gathered <0622 >acaph > wine <3196 yayin > and summer <7019
qayits > fruits very <3966 m@<od > much <7335 razam >.



13 Moreover Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of
Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269
sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were] in the fields
<7704 sadeh >, came <0935 bow> > to Gedaliah < 1436 G@dalyah > to
Mizpah <4708 Mitspeh >,



14 And said <0559 >amar > unto him, Dost thou certainly know
<3045 yada< > that Baalis <1185 Ba<alic > the king <4428 melek >
of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy > hath sent <7971 shalach >
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah
<5418 N@thanyah > to slay thee? But Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >
the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 >Achiyqam > believed <0539

15 Then Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah
<7143 Qareach > spake <0559 >amar > to Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >
in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah > secretly <5643 cether >, saying <0559

<5221 nakah > Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh

slay <5221 nakah > thee, that all <3605 kol > the Jews <3064

scattered <6327 puwts >, and the remnant <7611 sh@> eriyth > in
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > perish <6>?



16 But Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > said <0559 >amar > unto Johanan <3110
Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, Thou
shalt not do <6213 <asah > this <2088 zeh > thing <1697 dabar >:
for thou speakest <1696 dabar > falsely <8267 sheqer > of
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l >.



Jeremiah 41



1. Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the seventh < 7637
sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, [that] Ishmael < 3458
Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah < 5418 N@thanyah >
the son <1121 ben > of Elishama <0476 >Eliyshama< >, of the seed

G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 > Achiyqam > to
Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >; and there <8033 sham > they did <6213
<asah > eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > together <3162
yachad > in Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >.



2 Then arose <6965 quwm > Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e> l > the son
<1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah >, and the ten <6235

nakah > Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam
<0296 >Achiyqam > the son <1121 ben > of Shaphan <8227 shaphan >
with the sword <2719 chereb >, and slew <4191 muwth > him, whom
<0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >
had made governor <6485 paqad > over the land <0776 > erets >.



3 Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > also slew <5221 nakah > all <3605
kol > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > that were with him, [even] with
Gedaliah <1436 G@dalyah >, at Mizpah <4709 Mitspah >, and the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > that were found <4672 matsa> > there
<8033 sham >, [and] the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421

4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass the second <8145 sheniy >
day <3117 yowm > after he had slain <4191 muwth > Gedaliah <1436
G@dalyah >, and no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > knew <3045

5 That there came <0935 bow> > certain <0582 > enowsh > from
Shechem <7927 Sh@kem >, from Shiloh <7887 Shiyloh >, and from
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, [even] fourscore <8084 sh@moniym >

to bring <0935 bow> > [them] to the house <1004 bayith > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



6 And Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318

weeping <1058 bakah > all along <1980 halak > as he went <1980

7 And it was [so], when they came <0935 bow> > into < 0413 >el >
the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr >, that Ishmael

8 But ten <6235 <eser > men <0582 >enowsh > were found <4672

Yishma<e>l >, Slay <4191 muwth > us not: for we have <3426 yesh

<2406 chittah >, and of barley <8184 s@<orah >, and of oil <8081

chadal >, and slew <4191 muwth > them not among <8432 tavek >
their brethren <0251 >ach >.



9 Now the pit <0953 bowr > wherein <0834 >aher > Ishmael <3458
Yishma<e>l > had cast <7993 shalak > all <3605 kol > the dead
<6297 peger > bodies <6297 peger > of the men < 0582 >enowsh >,
whom <0834 >aher > he had slain <5221 nakah > because <3027 yad

son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > filled <4390
male> > it with [them that were] slain <2491 chalal >.



10 Then Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > carried <7617 shabah > away
captive <7617 shabah > all <3605 kol > the residue <7611

of Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > carried <7617 shabah > them away
captive <7617 shabah >, and departed <3212 yalak > to go <5674
<abar > over <5674 <abar > to the Ammonites < 5984 <Ammowniy >.



11. But when Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of
Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains <8269
sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were] with him, heard
<8085 shama< > of all <3605 kol > the evil < 7451 ra< > that
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah
<5418 N@thanyah > had done <6213 <asah >,



12 Then they took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol > the men <0582

Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah

<7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > that [are] in Gibeon <1391
Gib<own >.



13 Now it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when all < 3605 kol

[were] with him, then they were glad <8056 sameach >.



14 So all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > that Ishmael <3458
Yishma<e>l > had carried <7617 shabah > away captive <7617

unto Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah
<7143 Qareach >.



15 But Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of
Nethaniah <5418 N@thanyah > escaped <4422 malat > from Johanan
<3110 Yowchanan > with eight <8083 sh@moneh > men < 0582 >enowsh

16 Then took <3947 laqach > Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son

captains <8269 sar > of the forces <2428 chayil > that [were]

he had brought <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > from Gibeon
<1391 Gib<own >:



17 And they departed <3212 yalak >, and dwelt <3427 yashab > in
the habitation <1628 geruwth > of Chimham <3643 Kimham >, which
<0834 >aher > is by Bethlehem <1035 Beyth Lechem >, to go <3212
yalak > to enter <0935 bow> > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >,



18 Because <6440 paniym > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: for
they were afraid <3372 yare> > of them, because <3588 kiy >
Ishmael <3458 Yishma<e>l > the son <1121 ben > of Nethaniah
<5418 N@thanyah > had slain <5221 nakah > Gedaliah <1436
G@dalyah > the son <1121 ben > of Ahikam <0296 > Achiyqam >, whom
<0834 >aher > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >
made governor <6485 paqad > in the land <0776 >erets >.



Jeremiah 42



1. Then all <3605 kol > the captains <8269 sar > of the forces

kol > the people <5971 <am > from the least <6996 qatan > even
unto the greatest <1419 gadowl >, came <5066 nagash > near <5066
nagash >,



2 And said <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the
prophet <5030 nabiy> >, Let, we beseech <4994 na> > thee, our
supplication <8467 t@chinnah > be accepted <5307 naphal > before

<3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, [even] for all <3605

3 That the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > thy God <0430 > elohiym > may
shew <5046 nagad > us the way <1870 derek > wherein <0834 >aher

4 Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >
said <0559 >amar > unto them, I have heard <8085 shama< > [you];
behold <2005 hen >, I will pray <6419 palal > unto the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > according to your

[that] whatsoever <3605 kol > thing <1697 dabar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > shall answer <6030 <anah > you, I will declare <5046
nagad > [it] unto you; I will keep <4513 mana< > nothing back
<4513 mana< > from you.



5 Then they said <0559 >amar > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >,
The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be a true <0571 >emeth > and faithful
<0539 >aman > witness <5707 <ed > between < 0996 beyn > us, if we

6 Whether <0518 >im > [it be] good <2896 towb >, or whether
<0518 >im > [it be] evil <7451 ra< >, we will obey <8085 shama<

7. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass after <7093 qets > ten
<6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm >, that the word < 1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto Jeremiah <3414

8 Then called <7121 qara> > he Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the

<5971 <am > from the least <6996 qatan > even to the greatest
<1419 gadowl >,



9 And said <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, unto whom ye sent <7971 shalach > me
to present <5307 naphal > your supplication <8467 t@chinnah >
before <6440 paniym > him;



10 If <0518 >im > ye will still abide <3427 yashab > in this
<2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, then will I build <1129 banah

<5193 nata< > you, and not pluck <5428 nathash > [you] up: for I
repent <5162 nacham > me of the evil <7451 ra< > that I have
done <6213 <asah > unto you.



11 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of the king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel >, of whom ye are afraid <3373 yare> >; be
not afraid <3372 yare> > of him, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >: for I [am] with you to save <3467 yasha< > you,
and to deliver <5337 natsal > you from his hand <3027 yad >.



12 And I will shew <5414 nathan > mercies <7356 racham > unto
you, that he may have mercy <7355 racham > upon you, and cause
you to return <7725 shuwb > to your own land <0127 > adamah >.



13 But if <0518 >im > ye say <0559 >amar >, We will not dwell
<3427 yashab > in this <2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >,
neither <1115 biltiy > obey <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl

14 Saying <0559 >amar >, No <3808 lo> >; but we will go <0935

where <0834 >aher > we shall see <7200 ra>ah > no <3808 lo> >

there <8033 sham > will we dwell <3427 yashab >:



15 And now <6258 <attah > therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085
shama< > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, ye
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; Thus <3541

<4714 Mitsrayim >, and go <0935 bow> > to sojourn <1481 guwr >
there <8033 sham >;



16 Then it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] the sword
<2719 chereb >, which <0834 >aher > ye feared < 3373 yare> >,
shall overtake <5381 nasag > you there <8033 sham > in the land
<0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and the famine <7458

shall follow <1692 dabaq > close <1692 dabaq > after <0310

there <8033 sham > ye shall die <4191 muwth >.



17 So shall it be with all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh >
that set <7760 suwm > their faces <6440 paniym > to go <0935
bow> > into <0935 bow> > Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn
<1481 guwr > there <8033 sham >; they shall die < 4191 muwth > by
the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by
the pestilence <1698 deber >: and none <3808 lo> > of them shall
remain <8300 sariyd > or escape <6412 paliyt > from the evil
<7451 ra< > that I will bring <0935 bow> > upon them.



18 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; As mine anger <0639 >aph > and my fury

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; so
<3651 ken > shall my fury <2534 chemah > be poured <5413 nathak

<0423 >alah >, and an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and a curse
<7045 q@lalah >, and a reproach <2781 cherpah >; and ye shall
see <7200 ra>ah > this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm > no <3808
lo> > more <5750 <owd >.



19 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <1696 dabar > concerning
<5921 <al > you, O ye remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063
Y@huwdah >; Go <0935 bow> > ye not into Egypt < 4714 Mitsrayim >:
know <3045 yada< > certainly that I have admonished < 5749 <uwd >
you this day <3117 yowm >.



20 For ye dissembled <8582 ta<ah > in your hearts < 5315 nephesh

<3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >, saying <0559 >amar >,
Pray <6419 palal > for us unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God
<0430 >elohiym >; and according unto all <3605 kol > that the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > shall say <0559
>amar >, so <3651 ken > declare <5046 nagad > unto us, and we
will do <6213 <asah > [it].



21 And [now] I have this day <3117 yowm > declared < 5046 nagad

<6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God < 0430 >elohiym

hath sent <7971 shalach > me unto you.



22 Now <6258 <attah > therefore know <3045 yada< > certainly
that ye shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >, by
the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by the pestilence <1698 deber >,
in the place <4725 maqowm > whither ye desire <2654 chaphets >
to go <0935 bow> > [and] to sojourn <1481 guwr >.



Jeremiah 43



1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > had made an end <3615 kalah > of speaking <1696
dabar > unto all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > all <3605

him to them, [even <0853 >eth >] all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-

2 Then spake <0559 >amar > Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > the son

Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah <7143 Qareach >, and
all <3605 kol > the proud <2086 zed > men <0582 >enowsh >,
saying <0559 >amar > unto Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > , Thou
speakest <1696 dabar > falsely <8267 sheqer >: the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > hath not sent < 7971 shalach >

Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481 guwr > there <8033 sham >:



3 But Baruch <1263 Baruwk > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374
Neriyah > setteth <5496 cuwth > thee on against us, for to
deliver <5414 nathan > us into the hand <3027 yad > of the

muwth >, and carry <1540 galah > us away captives < 1540 galah >
into Babylon <0894 Babel >.



4 So Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah
<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains < 8269 sar > of
the forces <2428 chayil >, and all <3605 kol > the people <5971

5 But Johanan <3110 Yowchanan > the son <1121 ben > of Kareah
<7143 Qareach >, and all <3605 kol > the captains < 8269 sar > of
the forces <2428 chayil >, took <3947 laqach > all <3605 kol >
the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that

Neriah <5374 Neriyah >.



7 So they came <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 > erets > of

8. Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

sight <5869 <ayin > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of Judah <3064
Y@huwdiy >;



10 And say <0559 >amar > unto them, Thus <3541 koh > saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >,
the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold

Jeremiah 44



1. The word <1697 dabar > that came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah
<3414 Yirm@yah > concerning <0413 >el > all < 3605 kol > the Jews
<3064 Y@huwdiy > which dwell <3427 yashab > in the land <0776
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, which dwell < 3427 yashab >
at Migdol <4024 Migdowl >, and at Tahpanhes <8471 Tachpanchec >,
and at Noph <5297 Noph >, and in the country <0776 > erets > of
Pathros <6624 Pathrowc >, saying <0559 >amar >,



2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >; Ye have seen <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > the
evil <7451 ra< > that I have brought <0935 bow> > upon Jerusalem
<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and upon all <3605 kol > the cities <5892
<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >; and, behold < 2009 hinneh >,
this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > they [are] a desolation <2723
chorbah >, and no <0369 >ayin > man dwelleth <3427 yashab >
therein,



3 Because <6440 paniym > of their wickedness <7451 ra< > which
<0834 >aher > they have committed <6213 <asah > to provoke me to
anger <3707 ka<ac >, in that they went <3212 yalak > to burn
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >, [and] to serve <5647 <abad
> other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, whom <0834 >aher >
they knew <3045 yada< > not, [neither] they, ye, nor your
fathers <1>.



4 Howbeit I sent <7971 shalach > unto you all <3605 kol > my
servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> >, rising <7925
shakam > early <7925 shakam > and sending <7971 shalach > [them],
saying <0559 >amar >, Oh <4994 na> >, do < 6213 <asah > not this
<2088 zeh > abominable <8441 tow<ebah > thing < 1697 dabar > that
I hate <8130 sane> >.



5 But they hearkened <8085 shama< > not, nor <3808 lo> >
inclined <5186 natah > their ear <0241 >ozen > to turn <7725
shuwb > from their wickedness <7451 ra< >, to burn <6999 qatar >
no <1115 biltiy > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher

6 Wherefore my fury <2534 chemah > and mine anger <0639 >aph >
was poured <5413 nathak > forth, and was kindled <1197 ba<ar >
in the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > and in the
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >; and
they are wasted <2723 chorbah > [and] desolate <8077 sh@mamah >,
as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



7 Therefore now <6258 <attah > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >; Wherefore <4100 mah > commit <6213 < asah > ye [this]
great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > against < 0413 >el > your
souls <5315 nephesh >, to cut <3772 karath > off from you man
<0376 >iysh > and woman <0802 >ishshah >, child <5768 <owlel >
and suckling <3243 yanaq >, out of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, to
leave <3498 yathar > you none <1115 biltiy > to remain <7611
sh@>eriyth >;



8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath <3707 ka<ac > with the works
<4639 ma<aseh > of your hands <3027 yad >, burning <6999 qatar >
incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 >acher > gods <0430
>elohiym > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt < 4714 Mitsrayim >,
whither ye be gone <0935 bow> > to dwell <1481 guwr >, that ye
might cut <3772 karath > yourselves off, and that ye might be a
curse <7045 q@lalah > and a reproach <2781 cherpah > among all
<3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy > of the earth < 0776 >erets >?



9 Have ye forgotten <7911 shakach > the wickedness < 7451 ra< >
of your fathers <1>, and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of the kings
<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and the wickedness
<7451 ra< > of their wives <0802 >ishshah >, and your own
wickedness <7451 ra< >, and the wickedness <7451 ra< > of your
wives <0802 >ishshah >, which <0834 >aher > they have committed
<6213 <asah > in the land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah
>, and in the streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem < 3389
Y@ruwshalaim >?



10 They are not humbled <1792 daka> > [even] unto this <2088
zeh > day <3117 yowm >, neither <3808 lo> > have they feared
<3372 yare> >, nor <3808 lo> > walked <1980 halak > in my law
<8451 towrah >, nor in my statutes <2708 chuqqah >, that I set
<5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > you and before <6440 paniym
> your fathers <1>.



11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430
>elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Behold < 2005 hen >, I
will set <7760 suwm > my face <6440 paniym > against you for
evil <7451 ra< >, and to cut <3772 karath > off all <3605 kol >
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.



12 And I will take <3947 laqach > the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth
> of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, that have set <7760 suwm > their
faces <6440 paniym > to go <0935 bow> > into the land <0776
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn < 1481 guwr >
there <8033 sham >, and they shall all <3605 kol > be consumed
<8552 tamam >, [and] fall <5307 naphal > in the land <0776
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; they shall [even] be
consumed <8552 tamam > by the sword <2719 chereb > [and] by the
famine <7458 ra<ab >: they shall die <4191 muwth >, from the
least <6996 qatan > even unto the greatest <1419 gadowl >, by
the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra< ab >: and
they shall be an execration <0423 >alah >, [and] an astonishment
<8047 shammah >, and a curse <7045 q@lalah >, and a reproach
<2781 cherpah >.



13 For I will punish <6485 paqad > them that dwell < 3427 yashab
> in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, as I
have punished <6485 paqad > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, by
the sword <2719 chereb >, by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, and by
the pestilence <1698 deber >:



14 So that none <3808 lo> > of the remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth >
of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, which are gone <0935 bow> > into the
land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > to sojourn <1481
guwr > there <8033 sham >, shall escape <6412 paliyt > or remain
<8300 sariyd >, that they should return <7725 shuwb > into the
land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, to the which
<0834 >aher > they have <5375 nasa> > a desire to return <7725
shuwb > to dwell <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >: for none
<3808 lo> > shall return <7725 shuwb > but such as shall escape
<6412 paliyt >.



15. Then all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > which knew
<3045 yada< > that their wives <0802 >ishshah > had burned <6999
qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312 > acher > gods
<0430 >elohiym >, and all <3605 kol > the women <0802 >ishshah >
that stood <5975 <amad > by, a great <1419 gadowl > multitude
<6951 qahal >, even all <3605 kol > the people < 5971 <am > that
dwelt <3427 yashab > in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >, in Pathros <6624 Pathrowc >, answered < 6030 <anah >
Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >, saying <0559 >amar >,



16 [As for] the word <1697 dabar > that thou hast spoken <1696
dabar > unto us in the name <8034 shem > of the LORD < 3068
Y@hovah >, we will not hearken <8085 shama< > unto thee.



17 But we will certainly do <6213 <asah > whatsoever thing
<1697 dabar > goeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of
our own mouth <6310 peh >, to burn <6999 qatar > incense <6999
qatar > unto the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven < 8064 shamayim

unto her, as we have done <6213 <asah >, we, and our fathers <1>,
our kings <4428 melek >, and our princes <8269 sar >, in the
cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >: for
[then] had <1961 hayah > we plenty <7646 saba< > of victuals
<3899 lechem >, and were well <2896 towb >, and saw <7200 ra>ah
> no <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< >.



18 But since we left <2308 chadal > off to burn <6999 qatar >
incense <6999 qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven
<8064 shamayim >, and to pour <5258 nacak > out drink <5262
necek > offerings unto her, we have wanted <2637 chacer > all
<3605 kol > [things], and have been consumed <8552 tamam > by
the sword <2719 chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra< ab >.



19 And when <3588 kiy > we burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999
qatar > to the queen <4446 m@leketh > of heaven <8064 shamayim >,
and poured <5258 nacak > out drink <5262 necek > offerings unto
her, did we make <6213 <asah > her cakes <3561 kavvan > to
worship <6087 <atsab > her, and pour <5258 nacak > out drink
<5262 necek > offerings unto her, without <1107 bil< adey > our
men <0582 >enowsh >?



20. Then Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > unto all
<3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, to the men < 1397 geber >,
and to the women <0802 >ishshah >, and to all <3605 kol > the
people <5971 <am > which had given him [that] answer < 6030 <anah
>, saying <0559 >amar >,



21 The incense <7002 qitter > that ye burned <6999 qatar > in
the cities <5892 <iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and in the
streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, ye,
and your fathers <1>, your kings <4428 melek >, and your princes
<8269 sar >, and the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets

and came <5927 <alah > it [not] into <5921 <al > his mind <3820
leb >?



22 So that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > could <3201 yakol > no
<3808 lo> > longer <5750 <owd > bear <5375 nasa> >, because
<6440 paniym > of the evil <7455 roa< > of your doings <4611
ma<alal >, [and] because <6440 paniym > of the abominations
<8441 tow<ebah > which <0834 >aher > ye have committed <6213
<asah >; therefore is your land <0776 >erets > a desolation
<2723 chorbah >, and an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and a
curse <7045 q@lalah >, without <0369 >ayin > an inhabitant <3427
yashab >, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



23 Because ye have burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar >,
and because <0834 >aher > ye have sinned <2398 chata> > against
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and have not obeyed <8085 shama< > the
voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, nor <3808 lo> >
walked <1980 halak > in his law <8451 towrah >, nor in his
statutes <2708 chuqqah >, nor in his testimonies < 5715>;
therefore this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > is happened <7122
qara> > unto you, as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



24 Moreover Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 > amar > unto
all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am >, and to all <3605 kol >
the women <0802 >ishshah >, Hear <8085 shama< > the word <1697

Y@huwdah > that [are] in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim >:



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

<3478 Yisra>el >, saying <0559 >amar >; Ye and your wives <0802

saying <0559 >amar >, We will surely perform <6213 <asah > our
vows <5088 neder > that we have vowed <5087 nadar >, to burn
<6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to the queen < 4446 m@leketh

drink <5262 necek > offerings unto her: ye will surely
accomplish <6965 quwm > your vows <5088 neder >, and surely
perform <6213 <asah > your vows <5088 neder >.



26 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697
dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, all <3605 kol > Judah <3063
Y@huwdah > that dwell <3427 yashab > in the land < 0776 >erets >
of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >; Behold <2005 hen >, I have sworn
<7650 shaba< > by my great <1419 gadowl > name < 8034 shem >,
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that my name <8034

The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > liveth <2416 chay >.



27 Behold <2005 hen >, I will watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921

and all <3605 kol > the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063

chereb > and by the famine <7458 ra<ab >, until < 5704 <ad >
there be an end <3615 kalah > of them.



28 Yet a small <4962 math > number <4557 micpar > that escape
<6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb > shall return <7725 shuwb

that are gone <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 > erets > of Egypt

shall know <3045 yada< > whose <4310 miy > words <1697 dabar >

29 And this <2063 zo>th > [shall be] a sign <0226 >owth > unto

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

Jeremiah 45



1. The word <1697 dabar > that Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the

3 Order <6186 <arak > ye the buckler <4043 magen > and shield

4 Harness <0631 >acar > the horses <5483 cuwc >; and get <5927

the spears <7420 romach >, [and] put <3847 labash > on the

5 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > have I seen <7200 ra> ah > them
dismayed <2844 chath > [and] turned <5472 cuwg > away back <0268

6 Let not the swift <7031 qal > flee <5127 nuwc > away, nor

13 The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

14 Declare <5046 nagad > ye in Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and

15 Why <4069 madduwa< > are thy valiant <47> [men] swept <5502
cachaph > away? they stood <5975 <amad > not, because <3588 kiy

16 He made many <7235 rabah > to fall <3782 kashal >, yea, one

they said <0559 >amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and let us go <7725

17 They did cry <7121 qara> > there <8033 sham >, Pharaoh <6547
Par<oh > king <4428 melek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [is but]
a noise <7588 sha>own >; he hath passed <5674 < abar > the time
appointed <4150 mow<ed >.



18 [As] I live <2416 chay >, saith <5002 n@>um > the King <4428

of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, Surely <3588 kiy > as Tabor <8396

19 O thou daughter <1323 bath > dwelling <3427 yashab > in
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, furnish thyself to go into captivity
<1473 gowlah >: for Noph <5297 Noph > shall be waste <8047

20 Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [is like] a very <3304 y@pheh-phiyah

destruction <7171 qerets > cometh <0935 bow> >; it cometh <0935

21 Also <1571 gam > her hired <7916 sakiyr > men [are] in the
midst <7130 qereb > of her like fatted <4770 marbeq > bullocks

<3162 yachad >: they did not stand <5975 <amad >, because <3588

come <0935 bow> > upon them, [and] the time <6256 < eth > of
their visitation <6486 p@quddah >.



22 The voice <6963 qowl > thereof shall go <3212 yalak > like a
serpent <5175 nachash >; for they shall march <3212 yalak > with
an army <2428 chayil >, and come <0935 bow> > against her with
axes <7134 qardom >, as hewers <2404 chatab > of wood <6086 <ets

23 They shall cut <3772 karath > down her forest <3293 ya<ar >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, though it cannot
<3808 lo> > be searched <2713 chaqar >; because <3588 kiy > they
are more <7231 rabab > than the grasshoppers <0697 > arbeh >, and
[are] innumerable.



24 The daughter <1323 bath > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > shall
be confounded <3001 yabesh >; she shall be delivered < 5414
nathan > into the hand <3027 yad > of the people < 5971 <am > of

25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <0559 >amar >;
Behold <2005 hen >, I will punish <6485 paqad > the multitude

kings <4428 melek >; even Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh >, and [all] them
that trust <0982 batach > in him:



26 And I will deliver <5414 nathan > them into the hand <3027
yad > of those that seek <1245 baqash > their lives < 5315

N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon < 0894 Babel >,
and into the hand <3027 yad > of his servants <5650 < ebed >: and
afterward it shall be inhabited <7931 shakan >, as in the days
<3117 yowm > of old <6924 qedem >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.



27 But fear <3372 yare> > not thou, O my servant < 5650 <ebed >
Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and be not dismayed <2865 chathath >, O
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: for, behold <2005 hen >, I will save
<3467 yasha< > thee from afar <7350 rachowq > off, and thy seed
<2233 zera< > from the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity
<7633 shibyah >; and Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shall return <7725

28 Fear <3372 yare> > thou not, O Jacob <3290 Ya< aqob > my
servant <5650 <ebed >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >: for I [am] with thee; for I will make <6213 < asah > a
full end <3615 kalah > of all <3605 kol > the nations <1471 gowy

<3256 yacar > thee in measure <4941 mishpat >; yet will I not
leave thee wholly <5352 naqah > unpunished <5352 naqah >.

1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that came

2 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
Behold <2009 hinneh >, waters <4325 mayim > rise < 5927 <alah >

3 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the stamping <8161 sha<atah > of
the hoofs <6541 parcah > of his strong <47> [horses], at the
rushing <7494 ra<ash > of his chariots <7393 rekeb >, [and at]
the rumbling <1995 hamown > of his wheels <1534 galgal >, the
fathers <1> shall not look <6437 panah > back < 6437 panah > to

4 Because <5921 <al > of the day <3117 yowm > that cometh <0935

5 Baldness <7144 qorchah > is come <0935 bow> > upon Gaza <5804

7 How <0349 >eyk > can it be quiet <8252 shaqat >, seeing the

1. Against Moab <4124 Mow>ab > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; Woe <1945 howy

Kiriathaim <7156 Qiryathayim > is confounded <3001 yabesh >
[and] taken <3920 lakad >: Misgab <4869 misgab > is confounded

Cheshbown > they have devised <2803 chashab > evil < 7451 ra< >

3 A voice <6963 qowl > of crying <6818 tsa<aqah > [shall be]
from Horonaim <2773 Choronayim >, spoiling <7701 shod > and
great <1419 gadowl > destruction <7667 sheber >.



4 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is destroyed <7665 shabar >; her little
<6810 tsa<iyr > ones have caused a cry <2201 za<aq > to be heard
<8085 shama< >.



5 For in the going <4608 ma<aleh > up of Luhith < 3872 Luwchiyth

in the going <4174 mowrad > down <4174 mowrad > of Horonaim
<2773 Choronayim > the enemies <6862 tsar > have heard <8085

6 Flee <5127 nuwc >, save <4422 malat > your lives <5315

in the wilderness <4057 midbar >.



7 For because thou hast trusted <0982 batach > in thy works
<4639 ma<aseh > and in thy treasures <0214 >owtsar >, thou shalt
also <1571 gam > be taken <3920 lakad >: and Chemosh <3645

captivity <1473 gowlah > [with] his priests <3548 kohen > and

9 Give <5414 nathan > wings <6731 tsiyts > unto Moab <4124
Mow>ab >, that it may flee <5323 natsa> > and get <3318 yatsa> >
away <3318 yatsa> >: for the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof shall

10 Cursed <0779 >arar > [be] he that doeth <6213 < asah > the

11 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > hath been at ease <7599 sha>an > from

12 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117

break <5310 naphats > their bottles <5035 nebel >.



13 And Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be ashamed <0954 buwsh > of
Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh >, as the house <1004 bayith > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > was ashamed <0954 buwsh > of Bethel <1008 Beyth-

15 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and gone

16 The calamity <0343 >eyd > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > [is] near

19 O inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Aroer <6177 < Arow<er >, stand

20 Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is confounded <3001 yabesh >; for it is

Cholown >, and upon Jahazah <3096 Yahats >, and upon Mephaath
<4158 Mowpha<ath >,



22 And upon Dibon <1769 Diybown >, and upon Nebo <5015 N@bow >,
and upon Bethdiblathaim <1015 Beyth Diblathayim >,



23 And upon Kiriathaim <7156 Qiryathayim >, and upon Bethgamul
<1014 Beyth Gamuwl >, and upon Bethmeon <1010 Beyth Ba<al M@<own

24 And upon Kerioth <7152>, and upon Bozrah <1224 Botsrah >,
and upon all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > of the land
<0776 >erets > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, far < 7350 rachowq > or
near <7138 qarowb >.



25 The horn <7161 qeren > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > is cut <1438
gada< > off, and his arm <2220 z@rowa< > is broken <7665 shabar
>, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



26 Make ye him drunken <7937 shakar >: for he magnified <1431
gadal > [himself] against <5921 <al > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >:
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > also shall wallow <5606 caphaq > in his
vomit <6892 qe> >, and he also <1571 gam > shall be in derision
<7814 s@chowq >.



27 For was not Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a derision < 7814 s@chowq
> unto thee? was he found <4672 matsa> > among thieves <1590
gannab >? for since <1767 day > thou spakest <1697 dabar > of
him, thou skippedst <5110 nuwd > for joy.



28 O ye that dwell <3427 yashab > in Moab <4124 Mow> ab >, leave
<5800 <azab > the cities <5892 <iyr >, and dwell <7931 shakan >
in the rock <5553 cela< >, and be like the dove <3123 yownah >
[that] maketh her nest <7077 qanan > in the sides <5676 <eber >
of the hole's <6354 pachath > mouth <6310 peh >.



29 We have heard <8085 shama< > the pride <1347 ga>own > of
Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, (he is exceeding <3966 m@<od > proud <1343
ge>eh >) his loftiness <1363 gobahh >, and his arrogancy <1347
ga>own >, and his pride <1347 ga>own >, and the haughtiness
<7312 ruwm > of his heart <3820 leb >.



30 I know <3045 yada< > his wrath <5678 <ebrah >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; but [it shall] not [be] so
<3651 ken >; his lies <0907 bad > shall not so < 3651 ken >
effect <6213 <asah > [it].



31 Therefore will I howl <3213 yalal > for Moab <4124 Mow>ab >,
and I will cry <2199 za<aq > out for all <3605 kol > Moab <4124
Mow>ab >; [mine heart] shall mourn <1897 hagah > for the men
<0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres <7025 Qiyr Cheres >.



32 O vine <1612 gephen > of Sibmah <7643 S@bam >, I will weep
<1058 bakah > for thee with the weeping <1065 B@kiy > of Jazer
<3270 Ya<azeyr >: thy plants <5189 n@tiyshah > are gone <5674
<abar > over <5674 <abar > the sea <3220 yam >, they reach <5060
naga< > [even] to the sea <3220 yam > of Jazer < 3270 Ya<azeyr >:
the spoiler <7703 shadad > is fallen <5307 naphal > upon thy
summer <7019 qayits > fruits and upon thy vintage <1210 batsiyr

33 And joy <8057 simchah > and gladness <8057 simchah > is
taken <0622 >acaph > from the plentiful <3759 karmel > field,
and from the land <0776 >erets > of Moab <4124 Mow> ab >; and I
have caused wine <3196 yayin > to fail <7673 shabath > from the
winepresses <3342 yeqeb >: none <3808 lo> > shall tread <1869
darak > with shouting <1959 heydad >; [their] shouting <1959
heydad > [shall be] no <3808 lo> > shouting <1959 heydad >.



34 From the cry <2201 za<aq > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >
[even] unto Elealeh <0500 >El<ale> >, [and even] unto Jahaz
<3096 Yahats >, have they uttered <5414 nathan > their voice
<6963 qowl >, from Zoar <6820 Tso<ar > [even] unto Horonaim
<2773 Choronayim >, [as] an heifer <5697 <eglah > of three <7992
sh@liyshiy > years old <7992 sh@liyshiy >: for the waters <4325
mayim > also <1571 gam > of Nimrim <5249 Nimriym > shall be
desolate <4923 m@shammah >.



35 Moreover I will cause to cease <7673 shabath > in Moab <4124
Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, him that
offereth <5927 <alah > in the high <1116 bamah > places, and him
that burneth <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > to his gods
<0430 >elohiym >.



36 Therefore mine heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah >
for Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like pipes <2485 chaliyl >, and mine
heart <3820 leb > shall sound <1993 hamah > like pipes <2485
chaliyl > for the men <0582 >enowsh > of Kirheres < 7025 Qiyr
Cheres >: because the riches <3502 yithrah > [that] he hath
gotten <6213 <asah > are perished <6>.



37 For every <3605 kol > head <7218 ro>sh > [shall be] bald
<7144 qorchah >, and every <3605 kol > beard <2206 zaqan >
clipped <1639 gara< >: upon all <3605 kol > the hands <3027 yad
> [shall be] cuttings <1417 g@duwd >, and upon the loins <4975
mothen > sackcloth <8242 saq >.



38 [There shall be] lamentation <4553 micepd > generally <3605
kol > upon all <3605 kol > the housetops <1406 gag > of Moab
<4124 Mow>ab >, and in the streets <7339 r@chob > thereof: for I
have broken <7665 shabar > Moab <4124 Mow>ab > like a vessel
<3627 k@liy > wherein [is] no <0369 >ayin > pleasure <2656
chephets >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



39 They shall howl <3213 yalal >, [saying], How <0349 >eyk > is
it broken <2865 chathath > down! how <0349 >eyk > hath Moab
<4124 Mow>ab > turned <6437 panah > the back < 6203 <oreph > with
shame <0954 buwsh >! so shall Moab <4124 Mow>ab > be a derision
<7814 s@chowq > and a dismaying <4288 m@chittah > to all <3605
kol > them about <5439 cabiyb > him.



40 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall fly <1675 da>ah > as
an eagle <5404 nesher >, and shall spread <6566 paras > his
wings <3671 kanaph > over <0413 >el > Moab < 4124 Mow>ab >.



41 Kerioth <7152> is taken <3920 lakad >, and the strong <4679
m@tsad > holds <4679 m@tsad > are surprised <8610 taphas >, and
the mighty <1368 gibbowr > men's hearts <3820 leb > in Moab
<4124 Mow>ab > at that day <3117 yowm > shall be as the heart
<3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her pangs <6887
tsarar >.



42 And Moab <4124 Mow>ab > shall be destroyed <8045 shamad >
from [being] a people <5971 <am >, because he hath magnified
<1431 gadal > [himself] against <5921 <al > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



43 Fear <6343 pachad >, and the pit <6354 pachath >, and the
snare <6341 pach >, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant < 3427
yashab > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, saith <5002 n@> um > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.



44 He that fleeth <5211 niyc > from the fear <6343 pachad >
shall fall <5307 naphal > into <0413 >el > the pit <6354 pachath
>; and he that getteth <5927 <alah > up out of the pit <6354
pachath > shall be taken <3920 lakad > in the snare < 6341 pach >:
for I will bring <0935 bow> > upon it, [even] upon Moab <4124
Mow>ab >, the year <8141 shaneh > of their visitation <6486
p@quddah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



45 They that fled <5127 nuwc > stood <5975 <amad > under the
shadow <6738 tsel > of Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown > because of the
force <3581 koach >: but a fire <0784 >esh > shall come <3318
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of Heshbon < 2809 Cheshbown >,
and a flame <3852 lehabah > from the midst of Sihon < 5511
Ciychown >, and shall devour <0398 >akal > the corner <6285
pe>ah > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab >, and the crown < 6936 qodqod > of
the head <6936 qodqod > of the tumultuous ones <1121 ben >.



46 Woe <0188 >owy > be unto thee, O Moab <4124 Mow>ab >! the
people <5971 <am > of Chemosh <3645 K@mowsh > perisheth <6>: for
thy sons <1121 ben > are taken <3947 laqach > captives <7628
sh@biy >, and thy daughters <1121 ben > captives < 7633 shibyah >.



47 Yet will I bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > in the latter
<0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm >, saith < 5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Thus <2008 hennah > far < 2008 hennah >
[is] the judgment <4941 mishpat > of Moab <4124 Mow> ab >.



Jeremiah 49



1. Concerning the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >, thus < 3541 koh >
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Hath Israel <3478
Yisra>el > no <0369 >ayin > sons <1121 ben > ? hath he no <0369
>ayin > heir <3423 yarash >? why <4069 madduwa< > [then] doth
their king <4428 melek > inherit <3423 yarash > Gad <1410 Gad >,
and his people <5971 <am > dwell <3427 yashab > in his cities
<5892 <iyr >?



2 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, that I will cause an alarm <8643 t@ruw<ah > of war
<4421 milchamah > to be heard <8085 shama< > in Rabbah <7237
Rabbah > of the Ammonites <5984 <Ammowniy >; and it shall be a
desolate <8077 sh@mamah > heap <8510 tel >, and her daughters
<1121 ben > shall be burned <3341 yatsath > with fire <0784 >esh
>: then shall Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be heir < 3423 yarash >
unto them that were his heirs <3423 yarash >, saith < 5002 n@>um
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



3 Howl <3213 yalal >, O Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, for Ai <5857
<Ay > is spoiled <7703 shadad >: cry <6817 tsa< aq >, ye
daughters <1121 ben > of Rabbah <7237 Rabbah >, gird <2296
chagar > you with sackcloth <8242 saq >; lament <5594 caphad >,
and run <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > by the hedges
<1448 g@derah >; for their king <4428 melek > shall go <3212
yalak > into captivity <1473 gowlah >, [and] his priests <3548
kohen > and his princes <8269 sar > together <3162 yachad >.



4 Wherefore <4100 mah > gloriest <1984 halal > thou in the
valleys <6010 <emeq >, thy flowing <2100 zuwb > valley <6010
<emeq >, O backsliding <7728 showbeb > daughter < 1323 bath >?
that trusted <0982 batach > in her treasures <0214 > owtsar >,
[saying], Who <4310 miy > shall come <0935 bow> > unto me?



5 Behold <2005 hen >, I will bring <0935 bow> > a fear <6343
pachad > upon thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord < 0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, from all <3605 kol

driven <5080 nadach > out every man <0376 >iysh > right <6440
paniym > forth <6440 paniym >; and none <0369 > ayin > shall
gather <6908 qabats > up him that wandereth <5074 nadad >.



6 And afterward I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb >
the captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of the children <1121 ben > of
Ammon <5983 <Ammown >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



7. Concerning Edom <0123 >Edom >, thus <3541 koh > saith <0559
>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; [Is]
wisdom <2451 chokmah > no <0369 >ayin > more < 5750 <owd > in
Teman <8487 Teyman >? is counsel <6098 <etsah > perished <6>
from the prudent <0995 biyn >? is their wisdom <2451 chokmah >
vanished <5628 carach >?



8 Flee <5127 nuwc > ye, turn <6437 panah > back < 6437 panah >,
dwell <3427 yashab > deep <6009 <amaq >, O inhabitants <3427
yashab > of Dedan <1719 D@dan >; for I will bring < 0935 bow> >
the calamity <0343 >eyd > of Esau <6215 <Esav > upon him, the
time <6256 <eth > [that] I will visit <6485 paqad > him.



9 If <0518 >im > grapegatherers <1219 batsar > come <0935 bow>

<5955 <olelah > grapes? if <0518 >im > thieves <1590 gannab > by
night <3915 layil >, they will destroy <7843 shachath > till
<5704 <ad > they have enough <1767 day >.



10 But I have made Esau <6215 <Esav > bare <2834 chasaph >, I
have uncovered <1540 galah > his secret <4565 mictar > places,
and he shall not be able <3201 yakol > to hide <2247 chabah >
himself: his seed <2233 zera< > is spoiled <7703 shadad >, and
his brethren <0251 >ach >, and his neighbours <7934 shaken >,
and he [is] not.



11 Leave <5800 <azab > thy fatherless <3490 yathowm > children
<1121 ben >, I will preserve <2421 chayah > [them] alive <2421
chayah >; and let thy widows <0490 >almanah > trust <0982 batach
> in me.



12 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >; Behold <2009 hinneh >, they whose <0834 >aher >
judgment <4941 mishpat > [was] not to drink <8354 shathah > of
the cup <3563 kowc > have assuredly <8354 shathah > drunken
<7937 shakar >; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go
unpunished <5352 naqah >? thou shalt not go <3212 yalak >
unpunished <5352 naqah >, but thou shalt surely <3588 kiy >
drink <8354 shathah > [of it].



13 For I have sworn <7650 shaba< > by myself, saith < 5002 n@>um
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > shall
become <1961 hayah > a desolation <8047 shammah >, a reproach
<2781 cherpah >, a waste <2721 choreb >, and a curse <7045
q@lalah >; and all <3605 kol > the cities <5892 < iyr > thereof
shall be perpetual <5769 <owlam > wastes <2723 chorbah >.



14 I have heard <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > from
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an ambassador <6735 tsiyr > is
sent <7971 shalach > unto the heathen <1471 gowy >, [saying],
Gather <6908 qabats > ye together, and come <0935 bow> > against
<5921 <al > her, and rise <6965 quwm > up to the battle <4421
milchamah >.



15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will make <5414 nathan > thee
small <6996 qatan > among the heathen <1471 gowy >, [and]
despised <0959 bazah > among men <0120 >adam >.



16 Thy terribleness <8606 tiphletseth > hath deceived < 5377
nasha> > thee, [and] the pride <2087 zadown > of thine heart
<3820 leb >, O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > in the clefts
<2288 chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< >, that holdest <8610
taphas > the height <4791 marowm > of the hill <1389 gib<ah >:
though <3588 kiy > thou shouldest make thy nest <7064 qen > as
high <1361 gabahh > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, I will bring
<3381 yarad > thee down <3381 yarad > from thence < 8033 sham >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



17 Also Edom <0123 >Edom > shall be a desolation < 8047 shammah
>: every <3605 kol > one that goeth <5674 <abar > by it shall be
astonished <8074 shamem >, and shall hiss <8319 sharaq > at
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the plagues <4347 makkah > thereof.



18 As in the overthrow <4114 mahpekah > of Sodom <5467 C@dom >
and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > and the neighbour <7934 shaken >
[cities] thereof, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
no <3808 lo> > man <0376 >iysh > shall abide <3427 yashab >
there <8033 sham >, neither <3808 lo> > shall a son <1121 ben >
of man <0120 >adam > dwell <1481 guwr > in it.



19 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a
lion <0738 >ariy > from the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan
<3383 Yarden > against <0413 >el > the habitation <5116 naveh >
of the strong <0386 >eythan >: but I will suddenly < 7280 raga< >
make him run <7323 ruwts > away from her: and who <4310 miy >
[is] a chosen <0970 bachuwr > [man, that] I may appoint < 6485
paqad > over <0413 >el > her? for who <4310 miy > [is] like
<3644 k@mow > me? and who <4310 miy > will appoint <3259 ya<ad >
me the time? and who <4310 miy > [is] that shepherd < 7462 ra<ah
> that will stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me?



20 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > the counsel <6098
<etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken <3289
ya<ats > against <0413 >el > Edom <0123 > Edom >; and his
purposes <4284 machashabah >, that he hath purposed < 2803
chashab > against <0413 >el > the inhabitants < 3427 yashab > of
Teman <8487 Teyman >: Surely the least <6810 tsa<iyr > of the
flock <6629 tso>n > shall draw <5498 cachab > them out: surely
he shall make their habitations <5116 naveh > desolate < 8074
shamem > with them.



21 The earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493 ra<ash > at the
noise <6963 qowl > of their fall <5307 naphal >, at the cry
<6818 tsa<aqah > the noise <6963 qowl > thereof was heard <8085
shama< > in the Red <5488 cuwph > sea <3220 yam >.



22 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up and
fly <1675 da>ah > as the eagle <5404 nesher >, and spread <6566
paras > his wings <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al > Bozrah <1224
Botsrah >: and at that day <3117 yowm > shall the heart <3820

as the heart <3820 leb > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > in her
pangs <6887 tsarar >.



23. Concerning Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >. Hamath <2574 Chamath

they have heard <8085 shama< > evil <7451 ra< > tidings <8052
sh@muw<ah >: they are fainthearted <4127 muwg >; [there is]
sorrow <1974 hilluwl > on the sea <3220 yam >; it cannot be
quiet <8252 shaqat >.



24 Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > is waxed feeble <7503 raphah >,
[and] turneth <6437 panah > herself to flee <5127 nuwc >, and
fear <7374 retet > hath seized <2388 chazaq > on [her]: anguish
<6869 tsarah > and sorrows <2256 chebel > have taken <0270
>achaz > her, as a woman in travail <3205 yalad >.



25 How <0349 >eyk > is the city <5892 <iyr > of praise <8416
t@hillah > not left <5800 <azab >, the city <7151 qiryah > of my
joy <4885 masows >!



26 Therefore <3651 ken > her young <0970 bachuwr > men shall
fall <5307 naphal > in her streets <7339 r@chob >, and all <3605
kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > shall be
cut <1826 damam > off in that day <3117 yowm >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



27 And I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 > esh > in the
wall <2346 chowmah > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >, and it shall
consume <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of Benhadad
<1130 Ben-Hadad >.



28. Concerning Kedar <6938 Qedar >, and concerning the kingdoms

Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > shall smite <5221 nakah >, thus <3541 koh

Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063

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

36 And upon Elam <5867 <Eylam > will I bring <0935 bow> > the
four <0702 >arba< > winds <7307 ruwach > from the four <0702

37 For I will cause Elam <5867 <Eylam > to be dismayed <2865

Jeremiah 50



1. The word <1697 dabar > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > spake

against <0413 >el > the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans
<3778 Kasdiy > by Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030

2 Declare <5046 nagad > ye among the nations <1471 gowy >, and
publish <8085 shama< >, and set <5375 nasa> > up a standard

lakad >, Bel <1078 Bel > is confounded <3001 yabesh >, Merodach
<4781 M@rodak > is broken <2844 chath > in pieces; her idols
<6091 <atsab > are confounded <3001 yabesh >, her images <1544
gilluwl > are broken <2865 chathath > in pieces.



3 For out of the north <6828 tsaphown > there cometh < 5927

<1931 huw> > shall make <7896 shiyth > her land <0776 >erets >

4 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time

5 They shall ask <7592 sha>al > the way <1870 derek > to Zion

perpetual <5769 <owlam > covenant <1285 b@riyth > [that] shall

6 My people <5971 <am > hath been <1961 hayah > lost <6> sheep
<6629 tso>n >: their shepherds <7462 ra<ah > have caused them to
go <8582 ta<ah > astray <8582 ta<ah >, they have turned <7725

they have forgotten <7911 shakach > their restingplace < 7258

7 All <3605 kol > that found <4672 matsa> > them have devoured
<0398 >akal > them: and their adversaries <6862 tsar > said
<0559 >amar >, We offend <0816 >asham > not, because they have
sinned <2398 chata> > against the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the
habitation <5116 naveh > of justice <6664 tsedeq >, even the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the hope <4723 miqveh > of their fathers

8 Remove <5110 nuwd > out of the midst <8432 tavek > of Babylon

9. For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will raise <5782 <uwr > and cause

10 And Chaldea <3778 Kasdiy > shall be a spoil <7998 shalal >:

11 Because <3588 kiy > ye were glad <8056 sameach >, because

12 Your mother <0517 >em > shall be sore <3966 m@< od >

a desert <6160 <arabah >.



13 Because of the wrath <7110 qetseph > of the LORD < 3068

14 Put yourselves in array <6186 <arak > against < 5921 <al >

15 Shout <7321 ruwa< > against <5921 <al > her round <5439

16 Cut <3772 karath > off the sower <2232 zara< > from Babylon

18 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430

19 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > Israel <3478 Yisra> el > again

20 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm >, and in that time

24 I have laid a snare <3369 yaqosh > for thee, and thou art

25 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath opened <6605 pathach > his

<3318 yatsa> > the weapons <3627 k@liy > of his indignation

30 Therefore <3651 ken > shall her young <0970 bachuwr > men

34 Their Redeemer <1350 ga>al > [is] strong <2389 chazaq >; the

the mingled <6154 <ereb > people that [are] in the midst <8432

beasts <0338 >iy > of the islands <0339 >iy > shall dwell <3427

therein: and it shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >

40 As God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew <4114 mahpekah > Sodom
<5467 C@dom > and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > and the neighbour
<7934 shaken > [cities] thereof, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

abide <3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >, neither < 3808 lo> >
shall any son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > dwell <1481 guwr

41 Behold <2009 hinneh >, a people <5971 <am > shall come <0935
bow> > from the north <6828 tsaphown >, and a great <1419 gadowl

shall be raised <5782 <uwr > up from the coasts <3411 y@rekah >
of the earth <0776 >erets >.



42 They shall hold <2388 chazaq > the bow <7198 qesheth > and
the lance <3591 kiydown >: they [are] cruel <0394 > akzariy >,
and will not shew mercy <7355 racham >: their voice < 6963 qowl >
shall roar <1993 hamah > like the sea <3220 yam >, and they
shall ride <7392 rakab > upon horses <5483 cuwc >, [every one]
put in array <6186 <arak >, like a man <0376 >iysh > to the
battle <4421 milchamah >, against <5921 <al > thee, O daughter
<1323 bath > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



43 The king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > hath heard
<8085 shama< > the report <8088 shema< > of them, and his hands
<3027 yad > waxed feeble <7503 raphah >: anguish < 6869 tsarah >
took hold <2388 chazaq > of him, [and] pangs <2427 chiyl > as of
a woman in travail <3205 yalad >.



44 Behold <2009 hinneh >, he shall come <5927 <alah > up like a
lion <0738 >ariy > from the swelling <1347 ga>own > of Jordan
<3383 Yarden > unto the habitation <5116 naveh > of the strong

<7323 ruwts > away from her: and who <4310 miy > [is] a chosen
<0970 bachuwr > [man, that] I may appoint <6485 paqad > over
<0413 >el > her? for who <4310 miy > [is] like < 3644 k@mow > me?
and who <4310 miy > will appoint <3259 ya<ad > me the time? and
who <4310 miy > [is] that shepherd <7462 ra<ah > that will stand
<5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me?



45 Therefore <3651 ken > hear <8085 shama< > ye the counsel
<6098 <etsah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, that he hath taken
<3289 ya<ats > against <0413 >el > Babylon < 0894 Babel >; and
his purposes <4284 machashabah >, that he hath purposed < 2803
chashab > against <0413 >el > the land <0776 > erets > of the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >: Surely the least <6810 tsa< iyr > of
the flock <6629 tso>n > shall draw <5498 cachab > them out:
surely he shall make [their] habitation <5116 naveh > desolate
<8074 shamem > with them.



46 At the noise <6963 qowl > of the taking <8610 taphas > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > the earth <0776 >erets > is moved <7493
ra<ash >, and the cry <2201 za<aq > is heard < 8085 shama< >
among the nations <1471 gowy >.



Jeremiah 51



1. Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

<5921 <al > Babylon <0894 Babel >, and against < 0413 >el > them
that dwell <3427 yashab > in the midst <3820 leb > of them that
rise <6965 quwm > up against me, a destroying <7843 shachath >
wind <7307 ruwach >;



2 And will send <7971 shalach > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >
fanners <2114 zuwr >, that shall fan <2219 zarah > her, and
shall empty <1238 baqaq > her land <0776 >erets >: for in the
day <3117 yowm > of trouble <7451 ra< > they shall be against
<5921 <al > her round <5439 cabiyb > about.



3 Against <0413 >el > [him that] bendeth <1869 darak > let the
archer <1869 darak > bend <1869 darak > his bow < 7198 qesheth >,
and against <0413 >el > [him that] lifteth <5927 < alah > himself

not her young <0970 bachuwr > men; destroy <2763 charam > ye
utterly all <3605 kol > her host <6635 tsaba> >.



4 Thus the slain <2491 chalal > shall fall <5307 naphal > in
the land <0776 >erets > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >, and
[they that are] thrust <1856 daqar > through <1856 daqar > in

<3588 kiy > their land <0776 >erets > was filled <4390 male> >
with sin <0817 >asham > against the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



6 Flee <5127 nuwc > out of the midst <8432 tavek > of Babylon

his soul <5315 nephesh >: be not cut <1826 damam > off in her

7 Babylon <0894 Babel > [hath been] a golden <2091 zahab > cup
<3563 kowc > in the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > hand < 3027 yad >,

8 Babylon <0894 Babel > is suddenly <6597 pith>owm > fallen

9 We would have healed <7495 rapha> > Babylon <0894 Babel >,
but she is not healed <7495 rapha> >: forsake <5800 <azab > her,
and let us go <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh

mishpat > reacheth <5060 naga< > unto heaven <8064 shamayim >,

10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath brought <3318 yatsa> > forth

11 Make bright <1305 barar > the arrows <1121 ben >; gather
<4390 male> > the shields <7982 shelet >: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

kings <4428 melek > of the Medes <4074 Maday >: for his device
<4209 m@zimmah > [is] against <5921 <al > Babylon <0894 Babel >,
to destroy <7843 shachath > it; because <3588 kiy > it [is] the
vengeance <5360 n@qamah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the
vengeance <5360 n@qamah > of his temple <1964 heykal > .



12 Set <5375 nasa> > up the standard <5251 nec > upon the walls
<2346 chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel >, make the watch <4929

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



13 O thou that dwellest <7931 shakan > upon many <7227 rab >
waters <4325 mayim >, abundant <7227 rab > in treasures <0214

the measure <0520 >ammah > of thy covetousness <1215 betsa< >.



14 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > hath sworn
<7650 shaba< > by himself <5315 nephesh >, [saying], Surely I
will fill <4390 male> > thee with men <0120 >adam >, as with
caterpillers <3218 yekeq >; and they shall lift <6030 <anah > up
a shout <1959 heydad > against <5921 <al > thee.



15 He hath made <6213 <asah > the earth <0776 > erets > by his
power <3581 koach >, he hath established <3559 kuwn > the world
<8398 tebel > by his wisdom <2451 chokmah >, and hath stretched
<5186 natah > out the heaven <8064 shamayim > by his
understanding <8394 tabuwn >.



16 When he uttereth <5414 nathan > [his] voice <6963 qowl >,
[there is] a multitude <0527 >amown > of waters <4325 mayim > in
the heavens <8064 shamayim >; and he causeth the vapours <5387
nasiy> > to ascend <5927 <alah > from the ends < 7097 qatseh > of
the earth <0776 >erets >: he maketh <6213 <asah > lightnings
<1300 baraq > with rain <4306 matar >, and bringeth <3318 yatsa>

treasures <0214 >owtsar >.



17 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > is brutish <1197 ba<ar >
by [his] knowledge <1847 da<ath >; every <3605 kol > founder
<6884 tsaraph > is confounded <3001 yabesh > by the graven <6459
pecel > image <6459 pecel >: for his molten <5262 necek > image
[is] falsehood <8267 sheqer >, and [there is] no <3808 lo> >
breath <7307 ruwach > in them.



18 They [are] vanity <1892 hebel >, the work <4639 ma<aseh > of
errors <8595 ta<tua< >: in the time <6256 <eth > of their
visitation <6486 p@quddah > they shall perish <6>.



19 The portion <2506 cheleq > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > [is] not
like them; for he [is] the former <3335 yatsar > of all < 3605
kol > things: and [Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is] the rod <7626
shebet > of his inheritance <5159 nachalah >: the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > [is] his name < 8034 shem >.



20 Thou [art] my battle <4661 mappets > axe <4601 Ma< akah >
[and] weapons <3627 k@liy > of war <4421 milchamah >: for with
thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the nations < 1471

21 And with thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the
horse <5483 cuwc > and his rider <7392 rakab >; and with thee

and his rider <7392 rakab >;



22 With thee also will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces man
<0376 >iysh > and woman <0802 >ishshah >; and with thee will I
break <5310 naphats > in pieces old <2205 zaqen > and young

pieces the young <0970 bachuwr > man and the maid <1330
b@thuwlah >;



23 I will also break <5310 naphats > in pieces with thee the
shepherd <7462 ra<ah > and his flock <5739 <eder >; and with
thee will I break <5310 naphats > in pieces the husbandman <0406

I break <5310 naphats > in pieces captains <6346 pechah > and
rulers <5461 cagan >.



24 And I will render <7999 shalam > unto Babylon <0894 Babel >
and to all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Chaldea
<3778 Kasdiy > all <3605 kol > their evil <7451 ra< > that they
have done <6213 <asah > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown > in your sight
<5869 <ayin >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah >.



25 Behold <2005 hen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, O
destroying <4889 mashchiyth > mountain <2022 har >, saith <5002
n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which destroyest <7843

stretch <5186 natah > out mine hand <3027 yad > upon thee, and
roll <1556 galal > thee down from the rocks <5553 cela< >, and
will make <5414 nathan > thee a burnt <8316 s@rephah > mountain
<2022 har >.



26 And they shall not take <3947 laqach > of thee a stone <68>
for a corner <6438 pinnah >, nor a stone <68> for foundations
<4146 mowcadah >; but thou shalt be desolate <8077 sh@mamah >
for ever <5769 <owlam >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

27 Set <5375 nasa> > ye up a standard <5251 nec > in the land
<0776 >erets >, blow <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar >
among the nations <1471 gowy >, prepare <6942 qadash > the

28 Prepare <6942 qadash > against <5921 <al > her the nations

29 And the land <0776 >erets > shall tremble <7493 ra<ash > and
sorrow <2342 chuwl >: for every purpose <4284 machashabah > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall be performed <6965 quwm > against
<5921 <al > Babylon <0894 Babel >, to make < 7760 suwm > the land
<0776 >erets > of Babylon <0894 Babel > a desolation <8047

30 The mighty <1368 gibbowr > men of Babylon <0894 Babel > have
forborn <2308 chadal > to fight <3898 lacham >, they have
remained <3427 yashab > in [their] holds <4679 m@tsad >: their

31 One post <7323 ruwts > shall run <7323 ruwts > to meet <7125

32 And that the passages <4569 ma<abar > are stopped <8610

33 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >; The daughter <1323 bath > of Babylon

a little <4592 m@<at > while, and the time <6256 < eth > of her

34 Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > the king <4428

filled <4390 male> > his belly <3770 k@res > with my delicates
<5730 <eden >, he hath cast <1740 duwach > me out.



35 The violence <2555 chamac > done <6213 <asah > to me and to

the inhabitant <3427 yashab > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown > say <0559

36 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith < 0559 >amar >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Behold <2005 hen >, I will plead <7378

37 And Babylon <0894 Babel > shall become <1961 hayah > heaps
<1530 gal >, a dwellingplace <3427 yashab > for dragons <8577
tanniyn >, an astonishment <8047 shammah >, and an hissing <8322

38 They shall roar <7580 sha>ag > together <3162 yachad > like
lions <3715 k@phiyr >: they shall yell <5286 na<ar > as lions
<0738 >ariy >' whelps <1484 gowr >.



39 In their heat <2527 chom > I will make <7896 shiyth > their
feasts <4960 mishteh >, and I will make them drunken < 7937

yashen > a perpetual <5769 <owlam > sleep <8142 shehah >, and
not wake <6974 quwts >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.



40 I will bring <3381 yarad > them down <3381 yarad > like
lambs <3733 kar > to the slaughter <2873 tabach >, like rams
<0352 >ayil > with he goats <6260 <attuwd >.



41 How <0349 >eyk > is Sheshach <8347 Sheshak > taken <3920

42 The sea <3220 yam > is come <5927 <alah > up upon Babylon
<0894 Babel >: she is covered <3680 kacah > with the multitude

43 Her cities <5892 <iyr > are a desolation <8047 shammah >, a
dry <6723 tsiyah > land <0776 >erets >, and a wilderness <6160

44 And I will punish <6485 paqad > Bel <1078 Bel > in Babylon

45 My people <5971 <am >, go <3318 yatsa> > ye out of the midst

[another] year <8141 shaneh > [shall come] a rumour < 8052
sh@muw<ah >, and violence <2555 chamac > in the land <0776

mashal >.



47 Therefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, that I will do judgment < 6485 paqad >
upon the graven <6456 p@ciyl > images of Babylon <0894 Babel >:
and her whole <3605 kol > land <0776 >erets > shall be
confounded <0954 buwsh >, and all <3605 kol > her slain <2491

her.



48 Then the heaven <8064 shamayim > and the earth <0776 >erets

shall come <0935 bow> > unto her from the north <6828 tsaphown >,
saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



49 As Babylon <0894 Babel > [hath caused] the slain < 2491
chalal > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to fall <5307 naphal >, so
at Babylon <0894 Babel > shall fall <5307 naphal > the slain
<2491 chalal > of all <3605 kol > the earth <0776 >erets >.



50 Ye that have escaped <6412 paliyt > the sword <2719 chereb >,
go <1980 halak > away, stand <5975 <amad > not still <5975
<amad >: remember <2142 zakar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > afar
<7350 rachowq > off, and let Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > come
<5927 <alah > into <5921 <al > your mind < 3824 lebab >.



51 We are confounded <0954 buwsh >, because <3588 kiy > we have
heard <8085 shama< > reproach <2781 cherpah >: shame <3639
k@limmah > hath covered <3680 kacah > our faces <6440 paniym >:
for strangers <2114 zuwr > are come <0935 bow> > into <5921 <al
> the sanctuaries <4720 miqdash > of the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah >
house <1004 bayith >.



52 Wherefore <3651 ken >, behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117
yowm > come <0935 bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >, that I will do judgment <6485 paqad > upon her graven
<6456 p@ciyl > images: and through all <3605 kol > her land
<0776 >erets > the wounded <2491 chalal > shall groan <0602

53 Though <3588 kiy > Babylon <0894 Babel > should mount <5927
<alah > up to heaven <8064 shamayim >, and though < 3588 kiy >
she should fortify <1219 batsar > the height <4791 marowm > of
her strength <5797 <oz >, [yet] from me shall spoilers <7703
shadad > come <0935 bow> > unto her, saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



54 A sound <6963 qowl > of a cry <2201 za<aq > [cometh <0935
bow> >] from Babylon <0894 Babel >, and great < 1419 gadowl >
destruction <7667 sheber > from the land <0776 >erets > of the
Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy >:



55 Because <3588 kiy > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoiled
<7703 shadad > Babylon <0894 Babel >, and destroyed <6> out of
her the great <1419 gadowl > voice <6963 qowl >; when her waves
<1530 gal > do roar <1993 hamah > like great <7227 rab > waters
<4325 mayim >, a noise <7588 sha>own > of their voice <6963 qowl

56 Because <3588 kiy > the spoiler <7703 shadad > is come <0935
bow> > upon her, [even] upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, and her
mighty <1368 gibbowr > men are taken <3920 lakad >, every one of
their bows <7198 qesheth > is broken <2865 chathath >: for the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0410 >el > of recompences <1578
g@muwlah > shall surely requite <7999 shalam >.



57 And I will make drunk <7937 shakar > her princes < 8269 sar >,
and her wise <2450 chakam > [men], her captains <6346 pechah >,
and her rulers <5461 cagan >, and her mighty <1368 gibbowr > men:
and they shall sleep <3462 yashen > a perpetual <5769 <owlam >
sleep <8142 shehah >, and not wake <6974 quwts >, saith <5002
n@>um > the King <4428 melek >, whose name <8034 shem > [is] the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.



58 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah
> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >; The broad <7342 rachab > walls <2346
chowmah > of Babylon <0894 Babel > shall be utterly broken <6209
<arar >, and her high <1364 gaboahh > gates <8179 sha<ar > shall
be burned <3341 yatsath > with fire <0784 >esh >; and the people
<5971 <am > shall labour <3021 yaga< > in vain <7385 riyq >, and
the folk <3816 l@om > in the fire <0784 >esh >, and they shall
be weary <3286 ya<aph >.



59. The word <1697 dabar > which <0834 >aher > Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > commanded < 6680 tsavah >
Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the son <1121 ben > of Neriah <5374
Neriyah >, the son <1121 ben > of Maaseiah <4271 Machceyah >,
when he went <3212 yalak > with Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > the
king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into Babylon <0894
Babel > in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of
his reign <4427 malak >. And [this] Seraiah <8304 S@rayah >
[was] a quiet <4496 m@nuwchah > prince <8269 sar >.



60 So Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > wrote <3789 kathab > in a book
<5612 cepher > all <3605 kol > the evil <7451 ra< > that should
come <0935 bow> > upon Babylon <0894 Babel >, [even <0853 >eth
>] all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >
that are written <3789 kathab > against <0413 >el > Babylon
<0894 Babel >.



61 And Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > said <0559 >amar > to Seraiah
<8304 S@rayah >, When thou comest <0935 bow> > to Babylon <0894
Babel >, and shalt see <7200 ra>ah >, and shalt read <7121 qara>
> all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > words <1697 dabar >;



62 Then shalt thou say <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
thou hast spoken <1696 dabar > against <0413 >el > this <2088
zeh > place <4725 maqowm >, to cut <3772 karath > it off, that
none <1115 biltiy > shall remain <3427 yashab > in it, neither
<1115 biltiy > man <0120 >adam > nor beast < 0929 b@hemah >, but
that it shall be desolate <8077 sh@mamah > for ever < 5769 <owlam
>.



63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end <3615 kalah > of
reading <7121 qara> > this <2088 zeh > book < 5612 cepher >,
[that] thou shalt bind <7164 qarac > a stone <68> to it, and
cast <7993 shalak > it into <0413 >el > the midst <8432 tavek >
of Euphrates <6578 P@rath >:



64 And thou shalt say <0559 >amar >, Thus <3602 kakah > shall
Babylon <0894 Babel > sink <8257 shaqa< >, and shall not rise
<6965 quwm > from the evil <7451 ra< > that I will bring <0935
bow> > upon her: and they shall be weary <3286 ya<aph >. Thus
<2008 hennah > far <2008 hennah > [are] the words < 1697 dabar >
of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah >.



Jeremiah 52



1. Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > [was] one <0259 >echad > and
twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh > old <1121 ben > when
he began to reign <4427 malak >, and he reigned <4427 malak >
eleven years <8141 shaneh > in Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
And his mother's <0517 >em > name <8034 shem > [was] Hamutal
<2537 Chamuwtal > the daughter <1323 bath > of Jeremiah <3414
Yirm@yah > of Libnah <3841 Libnah >.



2 And he did <6213 <asah > [that which was] evil < 7451 ra< > in
the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, according to
all <3605 kol > that Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > had done
<6213 <asah >.



3 For through <5921 <al > the anger <0639 >aph > of the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > it came <1961 hayah > to pass in Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > and Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, till <5704 <ad > he
had cast <7993 shalak > them out from his presence <6440 paniym
>, that Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > rebelled <4775 marad >
against the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel >.



4 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass in the ninth <8671
t@shiy<iy > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >, in
the tenth <6224 <asiyriy > month <2320 chodesh >, in the tenth
<6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, [that]
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > came <0935 bow> >, he and all <3605 kol >
his army <2428 chayil >, against <5921 <al > Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim >, and pitched <2583 chanah > against < 5921 <al >
it, and built <1129 banah > forts <1785 dayeq > against <5921
<al > it round <5439 cabiyb > about.



5 So the city <5892 <iyr > was besieged unto the eleventh year
<8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Zedekiah < 6667 Tsidqiyah >.



6 And in the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >, in
the ninth <8672 tesha< > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >, the
famine <7458 ra<ab > was sore <2388 chazaq > in the city <5892
<iyr >, so that there was no <3808 lo> > bread < 3899 lechem >
for the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 > erets >.



7 Then the city <5892 <iyr > was broken <1234 baqa< > up, and
all <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of war < 4421 milchamah >
fled <1272 barach >, and went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa>
> out of the city <5892 <iyr > by night <3915 layil > by the way
<1870 derek > of the gate <8179 sha<ar > between <0996 beyn >
the two <8147 sh@nayim > walls <2346 chowmah >, which <0834
>aher > [was] by the king's <4428 melek > garden < 1588 gan >;
(now the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > [were] by the city < 5892 <iyr
> round <5439 cabiyb > about:) and they went <3212 yalak > by
the way <1870 derek > of the plain <6160 <arabah >.



8 But the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday >
pursued <7291 radaph > after <0310 >achar > the king <4428 melek
>, and overtook <5381 nasag > Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah > in the
plains <6160 <arabah > of Jericho <3405 Y@riychow > ; and all
<3605 kol > his army <2428 chayil > was scattered < 6327 puwts >
from him.



9 Then they took <8610 taphas > the king <4428 melek >, and
carried <5927 <alah > him up unto the king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0776
>erets > of Hamath <2574 Chamath >; where he gave < 1696 dabar >
judgment <4941 mishpat > upon him.



10 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > slew
<7819 shachat > the sons <1121 ben > of Zedekiah < 6667 Tsidqiyah
> before his eyes <5869 <ayin >: he slew <7819 shachat > also
<1571 gam > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > in Riblah <7247 Riblah >.



11 Then he put <5786 <avar > out the eyes <5869 < ayin > of
Zedekiah <6667 Tsidqiyah >; and the king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel > bound <0631 >acar > him in chains <5178
n@chosheth >, and carried <0935 bow> > him to Babylon <0894
Babel >, and put <5411 Nathiyn > him in prison till < 5704 <ad >
the day <3117 yowm > of his death <4194 maveth >.



12. Now in the fifth <2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh >,
in the tenth <6218 <asowr > [day] of the month <2320 chodesh >,
which <1958 hiy > [was] the nineteenth year <8141 shaneh > of
Nebuchadrezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of
Babylon <0894 Babel >, came <0935 bow> > Nebuzaradan <5018
N@buwzaradan >, captain <7227 rab > of the guard < 2876 tabbach >,
[which] served <5975 <amad > the king <4428 melek > of Babylon
<0894 Babel >, into Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >,



13 And burned <8313 saraph > the house <1004 bayith > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the king's <4428 melek > house <1004
bayith >; and all <3605 kol > the houses <1004 bayith > of
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and all <3605 kol > the houses
<1004 bayith > of the great <1419 gadowl > [men], burned <8313
saraph > he with fire <0784 >esh >:



14 And all <3605 kol > the army <2428 chayil > of the Chaldeans
<3779 Kasday >, that [were] with the captain <7227 rab > of the
guard <2876 tabbach >, brake <5422 nathats > down < 5422 nathats
> all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > round <5439 cabiyb > about.



15 Then Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain < 7227 rab
> of the guard <2876 tabbach > carried <1540 galah > away
captive <1540 galah > [certain] of the poor <1803 dallah > of
the people <5971 <am >, and the residue <3499 yether > of the
people <5971 <am > that remained <7604 sha>ar > in the city
<5892 <iyr >, and those that fell <5307 naphal > away, that fell
<5307 naphal > to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel
>, and the rest <3499 yether > of the multitude <0527 >amown >.



16 But Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain < 7227 rab >
of the guard <2876 tabbach > left <7604 sha>ar > [certain] of
the poor <1803 dallah > of the land <0776 >erets > for
vinedressers <3755 korem > and for husbandmen <3009 yagab >.



17 Also the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >
that [were] in the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD < 3068
Y@hovah >, and the bases <4350 m@kownah >, and the brasen <5178
n@chosheth > sea <3220 yam > that [was] in the house < 1004
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the Chaldeans < 3779 Kasday

18 The caldrons <5518 ciyr > also, and the shovels < 3257 ya< >,
and the snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, and the bowls <4219 mizraq

<3627 k@liy > of brass <5178 n@chosheth > wherewith <0834 >aher

19 And the basons <5592 caph >, and the firepans <4289 machtah

and the candlesticks <4501 m@nowrah >, and the spoons < 3709 kaph

[was] of gold <2091 zahab > [in] gold <2091 zahab >, and [that]
which <0834 >aher > [was] of silver <3701 keceph > [in] silver
<3701 keceph >, took <3947 laqach > the captain < 7227 rab > of
the guard <2876 tabbach > away.



20 The two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, one <0259
>echad > sea <3220 yam >, and twelve brasen <5178 n@chosheth >
bulls <1241 baqar > that [were] under <8478 tachath > the bases
<4350 m@kownah >, which <0834 >aher > king < 4428 melek > Solomon
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah > in the house <1004
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: the brass <5178 n@chosheth
> of all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh > vessels <3627 k@liy >
was without <3808 lo> > weight <4948 mishqal >.



21 And [concerning] the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, the height
<6967 qowmah > of one <0259 >echad > pillar < 5982 <ammuwd >
[was] eighteen cubits <0520 >ammah >; and a fillet < 2339 chuwt >
of twelve cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass <5437 cabab > it;
and the thickness <5672 <abiy > thereof [was] four < 0702 >arba<
> fingers <0676 >etsba< >: [it was] hollow < 5014 nabab >.



22 And a chapiter <3805 kothereth > of brass <5178 n@chosheth >
[was] upon it; and the height <6967 qowmah > of one < 0259 >echad
> chapiter <3805 kothereth > [was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits
<0520 >ammah >, with network <7639 s@bakah > and pomegranates
<7416 rimmown > upon the chapiters <3805 kothereth > round <5439
cabiyb > about, all <3605 kol > [of] brass <5178 n@chosheth >.
The second <8145 sheniy > pillar <5982 <ammuwd > also and the
pomegranates <7416 rimmown > [were] like unto these < 0428 >el-

23 And there were ninety <8673 tish<iym > and six < 8337 shesh >
pomegranates <7416 rimmown > on a side <7307 ruwach >; [and] all
<3605 kol > the pomegranates <7416 rimmown > upon the network
<7639 s@bakah > [were] an hundred <3967 me>ah > round <5439
cabiyb > about.



24. And the captain <7227 rab > of the guard <2876 tabbach >
took <3947 laqach > Seraiah <8304 S@rayah > the chief <7218
ro>sh > priest <3548 kohen >, and Zephaniah <6846 Ts@phanyah >
the second <4932 mishneh > priest <3548 kohen >, and the three
<7969 shalowsh > keepers <8104 shamar > of the door <5592 caph >:



25 He took <3947 laqach > also out of the city <5892 <iyr > an
eunuch <5631 cariyc >, which <0834 >aher > had < 1961 hayah > the
charge <6496 paqiyd > of the men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421
milchamah >; and seven <7651 sheba< > men <0582 >enowsh > of
them that were near <7200 ra>ah > the king's <4428 melek >
person <6440 paniym >, which <0834 >aher > were found <4672
matsa> > in the city <5892 <iyr >; and the principal <8269 sar >
scribe <5608 caphar > of the host <6635 tsaba> >, who mustered
<6633 tsaba> > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >;
and threescore <7657 shib<iym. > men <0376 >iysh > of the
people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >, that were found
<4672 matsa> > in the midst <8432 tavek > of the city <5892 <iyr

26 So Nebuzaradan <5018 N@buwzaradan > the captain < 7227 rab >
of the guard <2876 tabbach > took <3947 laqach > them, and
brought <3212 yalak > them to the king <4428 melek > of Babylon
<0894 Babel > to Riblah <7247 Riblah >.



27 And the king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > smote
<5221 nakah > them, and put them to death <4191 muwth > in
Riblah <7247 Riblah > in the land <0127 >adamah > of Hamath
<2574 Chamath >. Thus Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > was carried <1540
galah > away captive <1540 galah > out of his own land <0127
>adamah >.



28 This <2088 zeh > [is] the people <5971 <am > whom <0834

twenty <6242 <esriym >:



29 In the eighteenth year <8141 shaneh > of Nebuchadrezzar
<5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > he carried away captive < 1540 galah >
from Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > eight <8083 sh@moneh >
hundred <3967 me>ah > thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > and two <8147
