Berean Standard Bible
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim
the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, came
this word to Jeremiah from Yahweh,
saying,
At
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah
son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
to Jeremiah from the
LORD.
Thus
says
Yahweh
to me: Make you
bonds
and
bars,
and put them
on your 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
children
of
Ammon, and
to
the
king
of
Tyre, and to
the
king
of
Sidon ,
by
the
hand
of
the messengers
who come to Jerusalem to 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
give them a charge
to
their
masters,
saying,
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel, Thus
shall
you
tell
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 men and the
animals
that
are
on the surface
of the
earth
, by
my
great
power
and by
my
outstretched
arm;
and
I give it to whom it
seems
right
to
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
.
Now have
I given
all these lands into
the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon ,
my
servant;
and
the animals
of the field also
have
I
given
him
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.
All the
nations shall
serve him ,
and his son ,
and his
son's
son
, until the time of his own land come:
and
then many nations and great kings shall
make
him their
bondservant
.
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.
It
shall
happen,
that
the nation and
the
kingdom which
will
not serve the
same
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ,
and that
will
not put
their
neck under the
yoke of
the
king
of
Babylon
, that
nation
will
I punish ,
says
Yahweh,
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.
But as for you, don't
you
listen to your prophets, nor
to
your diviners, nor
to
your dreams, nor
to
your soothsayers
, nor
to
your sorcerers ,
who speak
to
you,
saying
, You 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
to you ,
to remove you far
from your land ,
and
that
I should
drive
you out,
and you 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 nation that shall
bring
their
neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon ,
and serve him, that
[nation]
will
I let
remain
in their
own land, says
Yahweh;
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
spoke
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
you
die,
you and your people ,
by the
sword ,
by
the
famine ,
and by
the
pestilence
, as Yahweh
has
spoken
concerning
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?
Don't
listen to the words of the prophets who speak
to
you,
saying
, You shall
not serve the king of Babylon ;
for they prophesy
a
lie
to 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, says
Yahweh
, but
they prophesy
falsely in my name; that
I may
drive
you out
, and that
you may
perish ,
you ,
and the prophets who prophesy to 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 spoke
to the priests and to all this people, saying,
Thus
says Yahweh
: Don't
listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold
, the vessels
of
Yahweh's
house shall
now
shortly
be brought again
from Babylon ;
for
they prophesy
a
lie
to 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
.
Don't
listen to them ;
serve the king of Babylon ,
and live :
why should this city become a desolation
?
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 Yahweh
be
with them, let them now make
intercession
to
Yahweh
of Hosts ,
that the vessels
which
are
left
in the house of Yahweh
, and
in the house
of the king of Judah, and at
Jerusalem, don't
go
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
says
Yahweh
of Hosts concerning
the pillars, and
concerning
the sea, and
concerning
the bases, and concerning
the residue
of the vessels
that are
left
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 didn't
take ,
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 .
yes, thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning
the vessels
that are
left
in the house of Yahweh
, and
in the house
of the king of Judah, and at
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, says
Yahweh;
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. ’”
