Young's Literal Translation
The word which
came
unto Jeremiah from the
LORD
, when
king Zedekiah
sent
unto him Pashur
the
son of Melchiah
, and Zephaniah the
son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
The word that
hath
been
unto Jeremiah from Jehovah
, in
the
king Zedekiah's
sending
unto him Pashhur
son of Malchiah
, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
Enquire
, I
pray thee, of
the
LORD
for us ;
for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh
war
against us; if
so
be
that
the
LORD
will
deal with us according to all his wondrous
works
, that
he
may
go up from us.
`Inquire
, we
pray thee, for us at
Jehovah,
for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath
fought
against us; perhaps
Jehovah
doth
deal with us according to all His wonders
, and
doth
cause
him
to
go up from off
us. '
Then
said
Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall
ye say to
Zedekiah :
And
Jeremiah saith
unto them, `
Thus do
ye say unto
Zedekiah ,
Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel ;
Behold
, I will
turn
back
the weapons of war
that are in your hands
, wherewith
ye fight against
the king of Babylon, and against
the Chaldeans, which
besiege
you without
the walls
, and I will
assemble
them into the midst of this city .
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel :
Lo
, I am
turning
round
the weapons of battle
That `
are '
in your hand
, With
which
ye do
fight the king of Babylon, And the Chaldeans, who
are
laying
siege
against
you ,
At
the outside
of
the
wall
, And I have
gathered
them into the midst of this city ,
And I myself
will
fight
against you with an
outstretched
hand and with a strong arm, even
in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath .
And I --
I
have
fought
against you ,
With a
stretched-out
hand ,
and with a strong arm, And
in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath ,
And I will
smite
the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast :
they
shall
die
of
a great pestilence.
And I have
smitten
the inhabitants of this city, Both man and beast ,
By
a great pestilence do
they
die
.
And afterward,
saith
the
LORD
, I will
deliver
Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such
as
are
left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that
seek
their life :
and he shall
smite
them with
the edge
of the sword ;
he shall
not
spare
them, neither
have
pity
, nor have
mercy.
And after
this
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, I give
Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, and the people, And those
left in this city ,
From the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those seeking
their life ,
And he hath
smitten
them by
the mouth
of the sword ,
He hath
no
pity
on
them, Nor
doth
he
spare
, nor hath
he
mercy.
And unto this people thou shalt
say, Thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, I set
before you the way of life, and the way of death .
And unto this people thou dost
say, Thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
setting
before you the way of life, And the way of death !
He
that
abideth
in this city shall
die
by the
sword, and by the
famine, and by the
pestilence :
but
he
that
goeth
out
, and falleth
to
the Chaldeans that
besiege
you
, he
shall
live
, and his life shall
be
unto
him for a prey
.
Whoso
is
abiding
in this city --
dieth,
By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoso
is
going
forth,
And
hath
fallen
unto
the Chaldeans, Who
are
laying
siege
against
you
--
liveth
, And his life hath
been
to
him for a spoil
.
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good ,
saith
the
LORD:
it
shall
be
given
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
burn
it with fire.
For I have set My face against this city for evil, And not for good --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah.
Into the hand of the king of Babylon it
is
given
, And he hath
burned
it with fire.
And touching
the house of the king of Judah, say,
Hear ye the
word of the
LORD
;
And as
to
the house of the king of Judah, Hear ye a
word of Jehovah
;
O house of David, thus saith
the
LORD;
Execute
judgment in
the
morning, and deliver him
that
is
spoiled
out
of
the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out
like
fire, and burn
that
none can
quench
it
, because of the evil of your doings.
O house of David, thus said
Jehovah:
Decide
ye
judgment at
morning, And deliver the plundered
from
the
hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth
as
fire, And hath
burned,
and
none is
quenching
, Because of the evil of your doings.
Behold
, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and
rock of the plain, saith
the
LORD;
which
say
, Who shall
come
down against us? or
who shall
enter
into our habitations?
Lo
, I `
am '
against thee --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who
are
saying
, Who cometh
down against us? And
who cometh
into our habitations?
But
I will
punish
you according to the fruit of your doings, saith
the
LORD:
and I will
kindle
a fire in the
forest thereof
, and it shall
devour
all things
round
about
it.
And
I have
laid
a
charge
against
you ,
According to the fruit of your doings, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And I have
kindled
a fire in its
forest, And it hath
consumed
--
all its
suburbs!
