Berean Standard Bible
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
,
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah from the LORD
when
King Zedekiah
sent
to
him Pashhur son of Malchijah
and the
priest
Zephaniah son of Maaseiah .
They
said
,
`
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. '
“Please
inquire of
the
LORD
on
our
behalf
, since
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon is
waging
war
against us .
Perhaps the
LORD
will
perform
for
us something
like
all His past
wonders, so
that
Nebuchadnezzar
will
withdraw
from us. ”
And
Jeremiah saith
unto
them
, `Thus
do
ye
say
unto
Zedekiah ,
But
Jeremiah answered
, “You
are
to
tell
Zedekiah that
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 ,
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘
I will
turn
against
you
the weapons of war
in your hands
, with which you
are
fighting
the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who besiege
you outside the wall, and I will
assemble
their
forces
in
the center
of this city .
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 Myself
will
fight
against you with an
outstretched
hand and a mighty
arm, with
anger, fury, and great wrath .
And
I have
smitten
the inhabitants
of this city, Both man and beast ,
By
a
great
pestilence
do
they die.
I will
strike
down
the residents
of this city, both man and beast .
They will
die in
a
terrible
plague
. ’
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
.
‘
After that
, ’
declares
the
LORD,
‘
I will
hand
over
Zedekiah king of Judah, his officers
, and the people in this city who
survive
the plague
and
sword and famine, to
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon and to
their enemies who
seek
their lives.
He will
put
them to
the sword ;
he will
not
spare them
or
show
pity
or
compassion
. ’
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 !
Furthermore,
you
are
to
tell
this people that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: ‘Behold
, I set
before you the way of life and the way of death .
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.
Whoever
stays
in this city will
die
by sword and famine and plague
, but
whoever
goes
out
and surrenders
to
the Chaldeans who besiege
you will
live;
he
will
retain
his life like
a spoil of
war
.
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.
For I have set My face against this city to
bring
disaster
and not good ,
declares
the
LORD
. It
will
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon, who
will
destroy
it with fire. ’
And
as
to
the house of the king of Judah ,
Hear ye
a
word of Jehovah;
Moreover,
tell
the house of the king of Judah to
hear the
word of the
LORD.
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
.
O house of David, this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: ‘Administer
justice
every
morning, and rescue
the victim
of
robbery
from the hand of his
oppressor, or
My wrath
will
go forth like
fire and burn
with
no
one
to
extinguish
it
because of their
evil deeds
.
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
?
Behold
, I am against you
who
dwell
above
the valley, atop
the rocky
plateau—
declares
the
LORD—
you
who say
, “
Who can
come
against us? Who can
enter
our dwellings
? ”
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!
I will
punish
you as
your deeds
deserve
, declares
the
LORD.
I will
kindle
a fire in your
forest that
will
consume
everything
around
you.’”
