Then Shephatiahh8203 the sonh1121 of Mattanh4977, and Gedaliahh1436 the sonh1121 of Pashurh6583, and Jucalh3116 the sonh1121 of Shelemiahh8018, and Pashurh6583 the sonh1121 of Malchiahh4441, heardh8085h8799 the wordsh1697 that Jeremiahh3414 had spokenh1696h8764 unto all the peopleh5971, sayingh559h8800,

2

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, He that remainethh3427h8802 in this cityh5892 shall dieh4191h8799 by the swordh2719, by the famineh7458, and by the pestilenceh1698: but he that goeth forthh3318h8802 to the Chaldeansh3778 shall liveh2421h8804; for he shall have his lifeh5315 for a preyh7998, and shall liveh2421h8799h8675h2425h8804.

3

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, This cityh5892 shall surelyh5414h8736 be givenh5414h8735 into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylon'sh894 armyh2428, which shall takeh3920h8804 it.

4

Therefore the princesh8269 saidh559h8799 unto the kingh4428, We beseech thee, let this manh376 be put to deathh4191h8714: for thush3651 he weakenethh7503h8764 the handsh3027 of the menh582 of warh4421 that remainh7604h8737 in this cityh5892, and the handsh3027 of all the peopleh5971, in speakingh1696h8763 such wordsh1697 unto them: for this manh376 seekethh1875h8802 not the welfareh7965 of this peopleh5971, but the hurth7451. welfare: Heb. peace

5

Then Zedekiahh6667 the kingh4428 saidh559h8799, Behold, he is in your handh3027: for the kingh4428 is not he that canh3201h8799 do any thingh1697 against you.

6

Then tookh3947h8799 they Jeremiahh3414, and casth7993h8686 him into the dungeonh953 of Malchiahh4441 the sonh1121 of Hammelechh4428, that was in the courth2691 of the prisonh4307: and they let downh7971h8762 Jeremiahh3414 with cordsh2256. And in the dungeonh953 there was no waterh4325, but mireh2916: so Jeremiahh3414 sunkh2883h8799 in the mireh2916. of Hammelech: or, of the king

7

Now when Ebedmelechh5663 the Ethiopianh3569, oneh376 of the eunuchsh5631 which was in the king'sh4428 househ1004, heardh8085h8799 that they had puth5414h8804 Jeremiahh3414 in the dungeonh953; the kingh4428 then sittingh3427h8802 in the gateh8179 of Benjaminh1144;

8

Ebedmelechh5663 went forthh3318h8799 out of the king'sh4428 househ1004, and spakeh1696h8762 to the kingh4428, sayingh559h8800,

9

My lordh113 the kingh4428, these menh582 have done evilh7489h8689 in all that they have doneh6213h8804 to Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030, whom they have casth7993h8689 into the dungeonh953; and he is like to dieh4191h8799 forh6440 hungerh7458 in the placeh8478 where he is: for there is no more breadh3899 in the cityh5892. he is like...: Heb. he will die

10

Then the kingh4428 commandedh6680h8762 Ebedmelechh5663 the Ethiopianh3569, sayingh559h8800, Takeh3947h8798 from hence thirtyh7970 menh582 with theeh3027, and take uph5927h8689 Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 out of the dungeonh953, before he dieh4191h8799. with thee: Heb. in thine hand

11

So Ebedmelechh5663 tookh3947h8799 the menh582 with himh3027, and wenth935h8799 into the househ1004 of the kingh4428 under the treasuryh214, and tookh3947h8799 thence oldh1094 cast cloutsh5499 and oldh1094 rotten ragsh4418, and let them downh7971h8762 by cordsh2256 into the dungeonh953 to Jeremiahh3414.

12

And Ebedmelechh5663 the Ethiopianh3569 saidh559h8799 unto Jeremiahh3414, Puth7760h8798 now these oldh1094 cast cloutsh5499 and rotten ragsh4418 under thine armholesh679h3027 under the cordsh2256. And Jeremiahh3414 didh6213h8799 so.

13

So they drew uph4900h8799 Jeremiahh3414 with cordsh2256, and took him uph5927h8686 out of the dungeonh953: and Jeremiahh3414 remainedh3427h8799 in the courth2691 of the prisonh4307.

14

Then Zedekiahh6667 the kingh4428 senth7971h8799, and tookh3947h8799 Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 unto him into the thirdh7992 entryh3996 that is in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068: and the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto Jeremiahh3414, I will askh7592h8802 thee a thingh1697; hideh3582h8762 nothing from me. third: or, principal

15

Then Jeremiahh3414 saidh559h8799 unto Zedekiahh6667, If I declareh5046h8686 it unto thee, wilt thou not surelyh4191h8687 put me to deathh4191h8686? and if I give thee counselh3289h8799, wilt thou not hearkenh8085h8799 unto me?

16

So Zedekiahh6667 the kingh4428 swareh7650h8735 secretlyh5643 unto Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559h8800, As the LORDh3068 livethh2416, that madeh6213h8804 us this soulh5315, I will not put thee to deathh4191h8686, neither will I giveh5414h8799 thee into the handh3027 of these menh582 that seekh1245h8764 thy lifeh5315.

17

Then saidh559h8799 Jeremiahh3414 unto Zedekiahh6667, Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478; If thou wilt assuredlyh3318h8800 go forthh3318h8799 unto the kingh4428 of Babylon'sh894 princesh8269, then thy soulh5315 shall liveh2421h8804, and this cityh5892 shall not be burnedh8313h8735 with fireh784; and thou shalt liveh2421h8804, and thine househ1004:

18

But if thou wilt not go forthh3318h8799 to the kingh4428 of Babylon'sh894 princesh8269, then shall this cityh5892 be givenh5414h8738 into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778, and they shall burnh8313h8804 it with fireh784, and thou shalt not escape outh4422h8735 of their handh3027.

19

And Zedekiahh6667 the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto Jeremiahh3414, I am afraidh1672h8802 of the Jewsh3064 that are fallenh5307h8804 to the Chaldeansh3778, lest they deliverh5414h8799 me into their handh3027, and they mockh5953h8694 me.

20

But Jeremiahh3414 saidh559h8799, They shall not deliverh5414h8799 thee . Obeyh8085h8798, I beseech thee, the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068, which I speakh1696h8802 unto thee: so it shall be wellh3190h8799 unto thee, and thy soulh5315 shall liveh2421h8799.

21

But if thou refuseh3986 to go forthh3318h8800, this is the wordh1697 that the LORDh3068 hath shewedh7200h8689 me:

22

And, behold, all the womenh802 that are lefth7604h8738 in the kingh4428 of Judah'sh3063 househ1004 shall be brought forthh3318h8716 to the kingh4428 of Babylon'sh894 princesh8269, and those women shall sayh559h8802, Thy friendsh582h7965 have set thee onh5496h8689, and have prevailedh3201h8804 against thee: thy feeth7272 are sunkh2883h8717 in the mireh1206, and they are turned awayh5472h8738 backh268. Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace

23

So they shall bring outh3318h8688 all thy wivesh802 and thy childrenh1121 to the Chaldeansh3778: and thou shalt not escape outh4422h8735 of their handh3027, but shalt be takenh8610h8735 by the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894: and thou shalt cause this cityh5892 to be burnedh8313h8799 with fireh784. thou shalt cause...: Heb. thou shalt burn, etc

24

Then saidh559h8799 Zedekiahh6667 unto Jeremiahh3414, Let no manh376 knowh3045h8799 of these wordsh1697, and thou shalt not dieh4191h8799.

25

But if the princesh8269 hearh8085h8799 that I have talkedh1696h8765 with thee, and they comeh935h8804 unto thee, and sayh559h8804 unto thee, Declareh5046h8685 unto us now what thou hast saidh1696h8765 unto the kingh4428, hideh3582h8762 it not from us, and we will not put thee to deathh4191h8686; also what the kingh4428 saidh1696h8765 unto thee:

26

Then thou shalt sayh559h8804 unto them, I presentedh5307h8688 my supplicationh8467 beforeh6440 the kingh4428, that he would not cause me to returnh7725h8687 to Jonathan'sh3083 househ1004, to dieh4191h8800 there.

27

Then cameh935h8799 all the princesh8269 unto Jeremiahh3414, and askedh7592h8799 him: and he toldh5046h8686 them according to all these wordsh1697 that the kingh4428 had commandedh6680h8765. So they left off speakingh2790h8686 with him; for the matterh1697 was not perceivedh8085h8738. they...: Heb. they were silent from him

28

So Jeremiahh3414 abodeh3427h8799 in the courth2691 of the prisonh4307 until the dayh3117 that Jerusalemh3389 was takenh3920h8738: and he was there when Jerusalemh3389 was takenh3920h8738.
