2

(Afterh310 that Jeconiahh3204 the kingh4428, and the queenh1377, and the eunuchsh5631, the princesh8269 of Judahh3063 and Jerusalemh3389, and the carpentersh2796, and the smithsh4525, were departedh3318h8800 from Jerusalemh3389;) eunuchs: or, chamberlains

By the handh3027 of Elasahh501 the sonh1121 of Shaphanh8227, and Gemariahh1587 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518, (whom Zedekiahh6667 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 senth7971h8804 unto Babylonh894 to Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894) sayingh559h8800,

4

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, unto all that are carried away captivesh1473, whom I have caused to be carried awayh1540h8689 from Jerusalemh3389 unto Babylonh894;

5

Buildh1129h8798 ye housesh1004, and dwellh3427h8798 in them ; and planth5193h8798 gardensh1593, and eath398h8798 the fruith6529 of them;

6

Takeh3947h8798 ye wivesh802, and begeth3205h8685 sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323; and takeh3947h8798 wivesh802 for your sonsh1121, and giveh5414h8798 your daughtersh1323 to husbandsh582, that they may bearh3205h8799 sonsh1121 and daughtersh1121; that ye may be increasedh7235h8798 there, and not diminishedh4591h8799.

7

And seekh1875h8798 the peaceh7965 of the cityh5892 whither I have caused you to be carried away captivesh1540h8689, and prayh6419h8690 unto the LORDh3068 for it: for in the peaceh7965 thereof shall ye have peaceh7965.

8

For thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478; Let not your prophetsh5030 and your divinersh7080h8802, that be in the midsth7130 of you, deceiveh5377h8686 you, neither hearkenh8085h8799 to your dreamsh2472 which ye cause to be dreamedh2492h8688.

9

For they prophesyh5012h8737 falselyh8267 unto you in my nameh8034: I have not senth7971h8804 them, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068. falsely: Heb. in a lie

10

For thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, That afterh6310 seventyh7657 yearsh8141 be accomplishedh4390h8800 at Babylonh894 I will visith6485h8799 you, and performh6965h8689 my goodh2896 wordh1697 toward you, in causing you to returnh7725h8687 to this placeh4725.

11

For I knowh3045h8804 the thoughtsh4284 that I thinkh2803h8802 toward you, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, thoughtsh4284 of peaceh7965, and not of evilh7451, to giveh5414h8800 you an expectedh8615 endh319. expected...: Heb. end and expectation

12

Then shall ye callh7121h8804 upon me, and ye shall goh1980h8804 and prayh6419h8694 unto me, and I will hearkenh8085h8804 unto you.

13

And ye shall seekh1245h8765 me, and findh4672h8804 me , when ye shall searchh1875h8799 for me with all your hearth3824.

14

And I will be foundh4672h8738 of you, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068: and I will turn awayh7725h8804 your captivityh7622h8675h7622, and I will gatherh6908h8765 you from all the nationsh1471, and from all the placesh4725 whither I have drivenh5080h8689 you, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068; and I will bring you againh7725h8689 into the placeh4725 whence I caused you to be carried away captiveh1540h8689.

15

Because ye have saidh559h8804, The LORDh3068 hath raised us uph6965h8689 prophetsh5030 in Babylonh894;

16

Know that thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of the kingh4428 that sittethh3427h8802 upon the throneh3678 of Davidh1732, and of all the peopleh5971 that dwellethh3427h8802 in this cityh5892, and of your brethrenh251 that are not gone forthh3318h8804 with you into captivityh1473;

17

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635; Behold, I will sendh7971h8764 upon them the swordh2719, the famineh7458, and the pestilenceh1698, and will makeh5414h8804 them like vileh8182 figsh8384, that cannot be eatenh398h8735, they are so evilh7455.

18

And I will persecuteh7291h8804 themh310 with the swordh2719, with the famineh7458, and with the pestilenceh1698, and will deliverh5414h8804 them to be removedh2189h8675h2113 to all the kingdomsh4467 of the earthh776, to be a curseh423, and an astonishmenth8047, and an hissingh8322, and a reproachh2781, among all the nationsh1471 whither I have drivenh5080h8689 them: to be a curse: Heb. for a curse

19

Because they have not hearkenedh8085h8804 to my wordsh1697, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068, which I senth7971h8804 unto them by my servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030, rising up earlyh7925h8687 and sendingh7971h8800 them ; but ye would not hearh8085h8804, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

20

Hearh8085h8798 ye therefore the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, all ye of the captivityh1473, whom I have senth7971h8765 from Jerusalemh3389 to Babylonh894:

21

Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, of Ahabh256 the sonh1121 of Kolaiahh6964, and of Zedekiahh6667 the sonh1121 of Maaseiahh4641, which prophesyh5012h8737 a lieh8267 unto you in my nameh8034; Behold, I will deliverh5414h8802 them into the handh3027 of Nebuchadrezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894; and he shall slayh5221h8689 them before your eyesh5869;

22

And of them shall be taken uph3947h8795 a curseh7045 by all the captivityh1546 of Judahh3063 which are in Babylonh894, sayingh559h8800, The LORDh3068 makeh7760h8799 thee like Zedekiahh6667 and like Ahabh256, whom the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 roastedh7033h8804 in the fireh784;

23

Because they have committedh6213h8804 villanyh5039 in Israelh3478, and have committedh6213h8804 adulteryh5003h8762 with their neighboursh7453' wivesh802, and have spokenh1696h8762 lyingh8267 wordsh1697 in my nameh8034, which I have not commandedh6680h8765 them; even I knowh3045h8802, and am a witnessh5707, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068.

24

Thus shalt thou also speakh559h8799 to Shemaiahh8098 the Nehelamiteh5161, sayingh559h8800, Nehelamite: or, dreamer

25

Thus speakethh559h8804 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, sayingh559h8800, Because thou hast senth7971h8804 lettersh5612 in thy nameh8034 unto all the peopleh5971 that are at Jerusalemh3389, and to Zephaniahh6846 the sonh1121 of Maaseiahh4641 the priesth3548, and to all the priestsh3548, sayingh559h8800,

26

The LORDh3068 hath madeh5414h8804 thee priesth3548 in the stead of Jehoiadah3077 the priesth3548, that ye should be officersh6496 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, for every manh376 that is madh7696h8794, and maketh himself a propheth5012h8693, that thou shouldest puth5414h8804 him in prisonh4115, and in the stocksh6729.

27

Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedh1605h8804 Jeremiahh3414 of Anathothh6069, which maketh himself a propheth5012h8693 to you?

28

For therefore he senth7971h8804 unto us in Babylonh894, sayingh559h8800, Thish1931 captivity is longh752: buildh1129h8798 ye housesh1004, and dwellh3427h8798 in them ; and planth5193h8798 gardensh1593, and eath398h8798 the fruith6529 of them.

29

And Zephaniahh6846 the priesth3548 readh7121h8799 this letterh5612 in the earsh241 of Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030.

30

Then came the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 unto Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559h8800,

31

Sendh7971h8798 to all them of the captivityh1473, sayingh559h8800, Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068 concerning Shemaiahh8098 the Nehelamiteh5161; Because that Shemaiahh8098 hath prophesiedh5012h8738 unto you, and I senth7971h8804 him not, and he caused you to trusth982h8686 in a lieh8267:

32

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068; Behold, I will punishh6485h8802 Shemaiahh8098 the Nehelamiteh5161, and his seedh2233: he shall not have a manh376 to dwellh3427h8802 amongh8432 this peopleh5971; neither shall he beholdh7200h8799 the goodh2896 that I will doh6213h8802 for my peopleh5971, saithh5002h8803 the LORDh3068; because he hath taughth1696h8765 rebellionh5627 against the LORDh3068. rebellion: Heb. revolt
