Conquest of Egypt Predicted

1

The wordh1697 that cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 for allh3605 the Jewsh3064 livingh3427 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, those who were livingh3427 in  aMigdolh4024,  bTahpanhesh8471,  cMemphish5297, and the landh776 of  dPathrosh6624, sayingh559,

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `You yourselvesh864b have seenh7200 allh3605 the calamityh7463a that I have broughth935 on Jerusalemh3389 and allh3605 the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063; and beholdh2009, thish2088 dayh3117 they are in  aruinsh2723 and noh369 oneh369 livesh3427 in them,

3

 abecauseh4480h6440 of their wickednessh7463a whichh834 they committedh6213a so as to  bprovokeh3707 Me to angerh3707 by continuingh1980 to  cburnh6999  1sacrificesh6999 and to  dserveh5647 otherh312 godsh430 whomh834 they had not knownh3045, neither they, you, norh3808 your fathersh1.

4

`Yet I  asenth7971 you allh3605 My servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030,  1againh7925 and againh7971, sayingh559, "Ohh4994, do not doh6213a thish384  babominableh8441 thingh1697 whichh834 I hateh8130."

5

`But  athey did not listenh8085 or inclineh5186 their earsh241 to turnh7725 from their wickednessh7463a, so as not to burnh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to otherh312 godsh430.

6

`Therefore My  awrathh2534 and My angerh639 were pouredh5413 out and burnedh1197a in the  bcitiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and in the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389, so they haveh1961 becomeh1961 a ruinh2723 and a  cdesolationh8077 as it is thish2088 dayh3117.

7

`Nowh6258 then thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Whyh4100 are you  adoingh6213a greath1419 harmh7463a to yourselvesh5315, so as to  bcuth3772 offh3772 from you manh376 and womanh802, childh5768 and infanth3243, from amongh8432 Judahh3063, leavingh3498 yourselves withouth1115 remnanth7611,

8

 aprovokingh3707 Me to angerh3707 with the worksh4639 of your handsh3027,  bburningh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to otherh312 godsh430 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, whereh834h8033 you are enteringh935 to resideh1481a, soh4616 that you might be cuth3772 offh3772 and becomeh1961 a  ccurseh7045 and a reproachh2781 among allh3605 the nationsh1471 of the earthh776?

9

"Have you forgottenh7911 the  awickednessh7463a of your fathersh1, the wickednessh7463a of the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063, and the wickednessh7463a of their wivesh802, your own wickednessh7463a, and the wickednessh7463a of your wivesh802, whichh834 they committedh6213a in the landh776 of Judahh3063 and in the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389?

10

"But they  ahave not becomeh1792  1contriteh1792 even to thish2088 dayh3117, norh3808 have they fearedh3372a norh3808  bwalkedh1980 in My lawh8451 or My statutesh2708, whichh834 I have seth5414 beforeh6440 you and beforeh6440 your fathersh1."'

11

"Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `Beholdh2009, I am going to  aseth7760 My faceh6440 against you for  1woeh7463a, even to cuth3772 offh3772 allh3605 Judahh3063.

12

`And I will  atakeh3947 away the remnanth7611 of Judahh3063 whoh834 have seth7760 their  1mindh6440 on enteringh935 the landh776 of Egypth4714 to resideh1481a thereh8033, and they will allh3605  2 bmeeth8552 their endh8552 in the landh776 of Egypth4714; they will fallh5307 by the swordh2719 and meeth8552 their endh8552 by famineh7458. Bothh4480 smallh6996b and greath1419 will dieh4191 by the swordh2719 and famineh7458; and they will becomeh1961 a  ccurseh7045, an objecth8047 of horrorh8047, an imprecationh7045 and a reproachh2781.

13

`And I will  apunishh6485 those who liveh3427 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, as I have punishedh6485 Jerusalemh3389, with the swordh2719, with famineh7458 and with pestilenceh1698.

14

`So there will be  anoh3808 refugeesh6412a or survivorsh8300 for the remnanth7611 of Judahh3063 who have enteredh935 the landh776 of Egypth4714 to resideh1481a thereh8033 and then to returnh7725 to the landh776 of Judahh3063, to whichh834 they are  1 blongingh5375h5315 to returnh7725 and liveh3427; for noneh3808 will  creturnh7725 excepth3588h518 a few refugeesh6412b.' "

15

Then  aallh3605 the menh376 who were awareh3045 that their wivesh802 were burningh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to otherh312 godsh430, along with allh3605 the womenh802 who were standingh5975 by, as a largeh1419 assemblyh6951,  2including allh3605 the peopleh5971a who were livingh3427 in Pathrosh6624 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, respondedh6030a to Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559,

16

"As for the  1 amessageh1697 that you have spokenh1696 to us in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068,  bwe are not going to listenh8085 to you!

17

"But ratherh3588h518 we will certainlyh6213a  acarryh6213a out everyh3605 wordh1697 that has proceededh3318 from our mouthsh6310,  1by burningh6999  2sacrificesh6999 to the  bqueenh4446 of heavenh8064 and pouringh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to her, justh3512c as  cwe ourselvesh587, our forefathersh1, our kingsh4428 and our princesh8269 didh6213a in the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and in the streetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389; for then we had  dplentyh7646 of  3foodh3899 and were wellh2896a offh2896a and sawh7200 noh3808  4misfortuneh7463a.

18

"But sinceh4480h227 we stoppedh2308 burningh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to the queenh4446 of heavenh8064 and pouringh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to her, we have  alackedh2637 everythingh3605 and have  2meth8552 our endh8552 by the swordh2719 and by famineh7458."

19

"And," said the women, "whenh3588 we were  aburningh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to the queenh4446 of heavenh8064 and  2were pouringh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to her, was it  bwithouth4480h1107 our husbandsh376 that we madeh6213a for her sacrificial cakesh3561  3in her imageh6087b and pouredh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to her?"

Calamity for the Jews

20

Then Jeremiahh3414 saidh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, to the menh1397 and womenh802--even to allh3605 the peopleh5971a who were givingh6030a him such an answerh1697--sayingh559,

21

"As for the  1 asmokingh7002 sacrificesh7002 that you burnedh6999 in the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and in the  bstreetsh2351 of Jerusalemh3389, you and your forefathersh1, your kingsh4428 and your princesh8269, and the peopleh5971a of the landh776, did not the LORDh3068  crememberh2142 them and did not all this comeh5927 into His  2mindh3820?

22

"So the LORDh3068 was  anoh3808 longerh5750 ableh3201 to endureh5375 it,  bbecauseh4480h6440 of the evilh7455 of your deedsh4611, becauseh4480h6440 of the abominationsh8441 whichh834 you have committedh6213a; thus your landh776 has becomeh1961 a  cruinh2723, an objecth8047 of horrorh8047 and a curseh7045, withouth369 an inhabitanth3427, as it is thish2088 dayh3117.

23

"Becauseh4480h6440 you have burnedh6999  1sacrificesh6999 and have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068 and  anot obeyedh8085 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 or  bwalkedh1980 in His lawh8451, His statutesh2708 or His testimoniesh5715, thereforeh5921h3651 thish384  ccalamityh7463a has befallenh7122 you, as it has thish2088 dayh3117."

24

Then Jeremiahh3414 saidh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, including allh3605 the womenh802, " aHearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, allh3605 Judahh3063 whoh834 are  bin the landh776 of Egypth4714,

25

thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, as followsh559: `As for you and your wivesh802, you have spokenh1696 with your mouthsh6310 and fulfilledh4390 it with your handsh3027, sayingh559, "We will  acertainlyh6213a performh6213a our vowsh5088 that we have vowedh5087, to burnh6999  1sacrificesh6999 to the queenh4446 of heavenh8064 and pourh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to her."  2 bGoh6965 aheadh6965 and confirmh6965 your vowsh5088, and certainlyh6213a performh6213a your vowsh5088!'

26

1Neverthelessh3651 hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, allh3605 Judahh3063 who are livingh3427 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, `Beholdh2009, I have  aswornh7650 by My greath1419 nameh8034,' saysh559 the LORDh3068, ` bneverh518 shall My nameh8034 be invokedh2142 againh5750 by the mouthh6310 of anyh3605 manh376 of Judahh3063 in allh3605 the landh776 of Egypth4714, sayingh559, " cAs the Lordh136  2GODh3068 livesh2416a."

27

`Beholdh2009, I am watchingh8245 overh5921 them  afor harmh7463a and not for goodh2899b, and  ballh3605 the menh376 of Judahh3063 whoh834 are in the landh776 of Egypth4714 will  1meeth8552 their endh8552 by the swordh2719 and by famineh7458 untilh5704 they  2are completelyh3615 goneh3615.

28

aThose whoh6412a escapeh6412a the swordh2719 will returnh7725 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714 to the landh776 of Judahh3063  1 bfewh4962 in numberh4557. Then allh3605 the remnanth7611 of Judahh3063 who have goneh935 to the landh776 of Egypth4714 to resideh1481a thereh8033 will knowh3045  cwhoseh4310 wordh1697 will standh6965, Mineh4480 or theirsh4480h1992a.

29

`Thish2088 will be the  asignh226 to you,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `that I am going to punishh6485 you in thish2088 placeh4725, soh4616 that you may knowh3045 that  bMy wordsh1697 will surelyh6965 standh6965 againsth5921 you for harmh7463a.'
