Berean Standard Bible
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, hath
this word been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
saying,
At
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah
son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD.
`Thus
said Jehovah
unto
me ,
Make to
thee
bands
and yokes,
This
is
what
the
LORD
said to
me :
“
Make for
yourself
a
yoke
out
of
leather
straps
and put
it
on
your
neck.
And
thou
hast
put
them
on
thy
neck,
and
hast
sent
them
unto
the king
of Edom, and
unto
the
king
of
Moab, and
unto
the
king
of
the
sons
of
Ammon, and
unto
the
king
of
Tyre, and unto
the
king
of
Zidon,
by
the hand
of
messengers
who are
coming
in
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
thou
hast
commanded
them for
their
lords,
saying,
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel,
Give
them a
message
from
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, to
relay
to
their
masters:
Thus
do
ye
say
unto
your
lords
, I --
I
have
made the earth with
man,
and the cattle
that
`are'
on the face of the
earth,
by
My
great
power,
and
by
My
stretched-out
arm
, and I have
given
it to whom it
hath
been
right
in
Mine
eyes
.
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 ,
I --
I
have given
all these lands into
the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ,
My
servant,
and
also
the beast
of the field I
have
given
to
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 .
And
served
him
have
all the
nations ,
and his son ,
and his
son's
son
, till
the
coming
in
of
the time of his land ,
also
it
; and
done
service
for
him
have
many nations and great kings.
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
hath
come
to
pass,
the nation and
the
kingdom that do
not serve him
--
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon --
and that
which
putteth
not its neck into
the
yoke of
the
king
of
Babylon
, with
sword ,
and with
famine ,
and with
pestilence
, I
lay
a
charge
on
that
nation
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
till
I consume
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.
`And
ye
, ye
do not hearken
unto
your prophets, and
unto
your diviners, and
unto
your dreamers
, and
unto
your observers
of
clouds
, and
unto
your sorcerers who are
speaking
unto
you,
saying
, Ye
do
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 falsehood
they are
prophesying
to you ,
so
as
to remove you far
from off
your ground,
and
I have
driven
you out,
and ye
have
perished
.
For they prophesy
to you a
lie
that
will
serve
to remove you from your land;
I will
banish
you and you
will
perish
.
And
the nation that causeth
its neck to
enter
into
the yoke of the king of Babylon ,
and hath
served
him --
I have
left
it
on
its ground
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and
it
hath
tilled
it
, and dwelt
in it. '
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
. ”
And unto
Zedekiah king of Judah I have
spoken
according
to
all
these
words,
saying,
`Cause
your necks to
enter
into
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 do
ye
die,
thou
and thy
people ,
by sword ,
by
famine ,
and by
pestilence
, as Jehovah
hath
spoken
concerning
the nation that doth
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?
`And
ye
do not hearken
unto
the words of the prophets who are
speaking
unto
you,
saying
, Ye
do
not serve the king of Babylon, --
for falsehood
they are prophesying 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 --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and they are prophesying in My name falsely,
so
as
to
drive
you out
, and ye
have
perished,
ye,
and the prophets who are
prophesying
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. ”
And
unto
the priests ,
and unto
all this people, I
have
spoken,
saying,
`Thus
said
Jehovah,
Ye
do not hearken
unto
the words of your prophets ,
who are
prophesying
to you, saying, Lo
, the vessels
of
the house of Jehovah
are
brought back from Babylon now
in
haste,
for
falsehood
they are prophesying 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
.
Ye
do not hearken
unto
them ,
serve the king of Babylon ,
and live .
Why is
this city a waste
?
Do not listen
to
them .
Serve the king of Babylon and live !
Why should
this city become
a ruin
?
`And,
if they be
prophets ,
and if
a
word of Jehovah
be
with them, let them intercede,
I
pray
you,
with Jehovah
of Hosts ,
so
that the vessels
that
are
left
in the house of Jehovah
, and
`
in '
the house
of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have
not gone
into
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts concerning
the pillars, and
concerning
the sea, and
concerning
the bases, and concerning
the rest 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,
That
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath
not taken,
in
his
removing
Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the freemen
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 .
Surely
thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning
the vessels
that are
left
of
the house of Jehovah
, and
of
the house
of the king of Judah, and `
in '
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:
To Babylon they
are
brought,
and there they
are
till
the day of
My
inspecting
them --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah;
then I have
brought
them up,
and have
brought
them back
unto
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. ’”
