Berean Standard Bible
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim
the
son of Josiah king of Judah came
this word unto
Jeremiah from the LORD ,
saying,
At
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah
son of Josiah king of Judah ,
this word came
to
Jeremiah from the LORD .
Thus
saith
the LORD to me ;
Make thee
bonds
and
yokes,
and put them
upon
thy
neck ,
This
is
what
the LORD said
to me :
“
Make for
yourself
a
yoke
out
of
leather
straps
and put it
on
your
neck .
And
send them
to the king
of Edom, and
to
the
king
of
Moab, and
to
the
king
of
the
Ammonites
, and
to
the
king
of
Tyrus
, and to
the
king
of
Zidon,
by
the
hand
of
the messengers
which
come to Jerusalem unto
Zedekiah king of Judah ;
Send word
to the kings
of Edom, Moab, Ammon
, Tyre
, and Sidon
through
the envoys
who
have
come to Jerusalem to
Zedekiah king of Judah .
And
command
them to
say
unto
their
masters,
Thus
saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel ;
Thus
shall
ye
say
unto
your
masters ;
Give
them a
message
from
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
to
relay
to
their
masters :
I
have
made
the
earth,
the
man
and
the
beast
that
are
upon
the
ground,
by my great power and by
my
outstretched arm, and have
given
it unto
whom
it seemed
meet
unto
me
.
By My great power and outstretched arm, I
made
the
earth
and the
men
and
beasts
on
the
face
of
it ,
and
I
give
it to
whom
I
please
.
And
now have
I given
all these lands into
the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon ,
my
servant;
and
the beasts of the field have
I
given
him
also
to serve
him.
So
now I have
placed
all these lands under
the authority
of My
servant
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon .
I
have
even
made
the beasts of the field subject
to him.
And
all nations shall
serve him ,
and his son ,
and his
son's
son
, until the very
time of his land come:
and
then many nations and great kings shall
serve
themselves
of
him.
All nations will
serve him and his son and grandson
, until the time of his own
land comes;
then many nations and great kings will
enslave
him.
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the nation and
kingdom which
will
not serve the
same
Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon ,
and that
will
not put
their
neck under the
yoke of
the
king
of
Babylon
, that
nation
will
I punish ,
saith
the
LORD,
with
the
sword ,
and with
the
famine ,
and with
the pestilence
, until I have consumed
them
by his hand.
As
for
the nation or
kingdom that
does
not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does
not place
its
neck under his
yoke, I will
punish that
nation
by
sword and famine and plague,
declares
the LORD
, until I have destroyed
it
by his hand.
Therefore
hearken
not ye
to your prophets, nor
to
your diviners, nor
to
your dreamers
, nor
to
your enchanters
, nor
to
your sorcerers, which
speak
unto
you ,
saying,
Ye
shall
not serve the king of Babylon :
But
as
for
you,
do
not listen
to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters
of
dreams
, your mediums
, or
your sorcerers who
declare
, ‘
You will
not serve the king of Babylon .’
For they prophesy a lie unto
you,
to remove you far
from your land; and
that
I should
drive
you out,
and ye
should
perish.
For they prophesy to
you
a lie that
will
serve
to remove you from your land; I will
banish
you and you
will
perish.
But the nations
that bring
their
neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon ,
and serve him, those
will
I let
remain
still
in their
own land, saith
the
LORD;
and they
shall
till
it, and
dwell
therein
.
But the nation
that will
put
its
neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will
leave
in its
own land, to
cultivate
it
and reside
in
it, declares
the
LORD
. ”
I
spake
also
to Zedekiah king of Judah according
to
all
these
words,
saying,
Bring
your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon ,
and
serve him and his people, and live .
And
to Zedekiah king of Judah I
spoke
the
same
message:
“Put
your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon ;
serve him and his people, and live !
Why will
ye
die,
thou
and thy
people ,
by the
sword ,
by
the
famine ,
and by
the
pestilence
, as the LORD hath
spoken
against the
nation that will
not serve the king of Babylon?
Why should
you
and your
people die
by sword and
famine and plague
, as the LORD has
decreed
against any
nation that does
not serve the king of Babylon?
Therefore
hearken
not unto
the words of the prophets that
speak
unto
you,
saying
, Ye
shall
not serve the king of Babylon :
for they prophesy
a lie unto
you
.
Do
not listen
to
the words of the prophets who
say
, ‘You
must
not serve the king of Babylon ,’
for they are
prophesying
to
you
a lie.
For I have not sent them, saith
the LORD, yet they prophesy
a
lie
in my name; that
I might
drive
you out
, and that
ye
might
perish ,
ye,
and the prophets that
prophesy unto
you.
For I have not sent them, declares
the LORD, and
yet they are
prophesying
falsely
in My name; therefore
I will
banish
you, and you
will
perish —you
and the prophets who
prophesy to
you. ”
Also
I spake
to the priests and to all this people, saying,
Thus
saith
the LORD ;
Hearken
not to the words of your prophets that
prophesy unto
you, saying, Behold
, the vessels
of
the LORD's
house shall
now
shortly
be brought again
from Babylon :
for
they prophesy
a lie unto
you
.
Then
I said
to the priests and to all this people, “This
is
what
the LORD says:
Do
not listen
to the words of your prophets who
prophesy to
you, saying, ‘Look
, very
soon
now
the articles
from
the house of
the
LORD
will
be brought back
from Babylon .’
They are
prophesying
to
you
a lie.
Hearken
not unto
them ;
serve the king of Babylon ,
and live :
wherefore
should this city be
laid
waste
?
Do
not listen
to
them .
Serve the king of Babylon and live !
Why
should this city become
a
ruin
?
But
if they be
prophets ,
and if
the word of the LORD be
with them, let them now make
intercession
to
the LORD of hosts ,
that the vessels
which
are
left
in the house of the LORD, and
in the house
of the king of Judah, and at
Jerusalem, go
not to Babylon.
If they are
indeed
prophets and the word of the LORD is
with them, let them now plead
with
the LORD of Hosts that the articles
remaining
in the house of the LORD, in the palace
of the king of Judah, and in
Jerusalem, not be
taken
to Babylon.
For thus
saith
the LORD of hosts concerning
the pillars, and
concerning
the sea, and
concerning
the bases, and concerning
the residue
of the vessels
that remain in this city .
For this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says
about
the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest
of the articles
that remain in this city ,
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took
not ,
when he carried away
captive
Jeconiah the
son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and
all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem ;
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did
not take
when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into
exile
from Jerusalem to Babylon, along
with
all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem .
Yea
, thus
saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning
the vessels
that remain in the house of the LORD, and
in the house
of the king of Judah and of
Jerusalem ;
Yes
, this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says
about
the articles
that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace
of the king of Judah ,
and in
Jerusalem :
They shall
be carried to Babylon ,
and there shall
they
be
until the day that
I visit
them, saith
the LORD ;
then will
I bring them up,
and restore them to this place.
‘
They will
be carried to Babylon and will
remain
there until the day I attend
to
them again
, ’
declares
the LORD .
‘
Then I will
bring them back
and restore them to this place. ’”
