King James Version
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah,
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah --
it
`is'
the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar ,
The word that came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah ,
which
was
the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar .
And
then the forces
of
the
king of Babylon
are
laying
siege
against
Jerusalem ,
and Jeremiah the prophet hath
been
shut up in the court of the prison that
`is'
in the house
of
the
king of Judah,
For
then the king of Babylon's
army
besieged
Jerusalem :
and Jeremiah the prophet was
shut up in the court of the prison ,
which
was
in the king of Judah's
house.
Where
Zedekiah king of Judah hath
shut him up, saying, `
Wherefore art
thou prophesying
, saying
, Thus said
Jehovah
, Lo
, I am
giving
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath
captured
it;
For
Zedekiah king of Judah had
shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost
thou prophesy
, and
say
, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Behold
, I will
give
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
take
it;
And Zedekiah king of Judah doth
not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is
certainly
given
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his
mouth
hath
spoken
with his
mouth, and his eyes see
his eyes ,
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall
not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall
surely
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall
speak
with him
mouth to
mouth
, and his eyes shall
behold
his eyes ;
And `to'
Babylon
he leadeth
Zedekiah, and there he is
till
My
inspecting
him, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
because
ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye do
not prosper. '
And he shall
lead
Zedekiah to
Babylon
, and there shall
he be
until
I
visit
him, saith
the
LORD:
though
ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall
not prosper.
And Jeremiah saith
, `A
word of Jehovah
hath
been
unto me saying,
And Jeremiah said
, The
word of the
LORD
came
unto me ,
saying,
Lo
, Hanameel son of Shallum ,
thine uncle ,
is
coming
unto thee ,
saying, Buy for
thee my field that `
is '
in Anathoth ,
for thine
`is'
the right of redemption --
to buy.
Behold
, Hanameel the
son of Shallum thine uncle shall
come
unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth :
for the right of redemption is
thine
to buy it
.
And
Hanameel ,
my
uncle's son ,
cometh
in
unto
me ,
according to the word of Jehovah,
unto
the court
of
the
prison
, and saith
unto me, `
Buy, I pray thee, my
field
that `
is '
in Anathoth, that
`
is '
in the land
of Benjamin ,
for thine
`is'
the right of possession
, and thine
of
redemption --
buy for thee
. '
And
I know
that it
`is'
the word of Jehovah,
So
Hanameel mine
uncle's son came
to
me in
the
court
of
the
prison
according to the word of the LORD
, and said
unto me, Buy my
field
, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which
is in the country
of Benjamin :
for the right of inheritance
is
thine
, and the
redemption is
thine;
buy it
for thyself
. Then
I knew
that this
was
the word of the
LORD.
And I buy
the field ,
that
`is'
in
Anathoth,
from
Hanameel ,
my uncle's son, and I
weigh
to
him the money --
seventeen shekels of silver.
And I bought
the field of
Hanameel my uncle's son, that
was
in
Anathoth,
and weighed
him the money ,
even
seventeen shekels of silver.
And I write
in
a
book
, and seal
, and cause
witnesses to
testify
, and weigh
the silver
in balances ;
And I subscribed
the
evidence
, and sealed
it
, and took
witnesses, and weighed
him
the money
in the
balances .
And
I take
the purchase -book
, the
sealed one,
according to law and custom, and the
open one.
So
I took
the evidence
of
the
purchase, both
that
which
was
sealed according to the
law and custom, and that
which
was
open :
And I give
the purchase -book
unto Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before
the eyes
of Hanameel ,
my
uncle's son, and before
the eyes
of the witnesses ,
those
writing
in
the purchase-
book, before the
eyes
of
all the Jews who
are
sitting
in the court of the prison.
And I gave
the evidence
of
the
purchase unto Baruch the
son of Neriah, the
son of Maaseiah, in
the sight
of Hanameel mine
uncle's son, and in
the presence
of the witnesses that
subscribed
the book of
the
purchase
, before all the Jews that
sat
in the court of the prison.
And I charge
Baruch before their
eyes
, saying,
And I charged
Baruch before them
, saying,
`
Thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel ,
Take these books
, this purchase -book
, both the
sealed one
and the
open one,
and thou
hast
put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain
many days ;
Thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel ;
Take these evidences
, this evidence
of
the
purchase, both which
is
sealed ,
and this
evidence
which
is
open ;
and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue
many days .
For thus said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel ,
Again
are
houses and fields and vineyards bought
in this land. '
For thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel ;
Houses and fields and vineyards shall
be
possessed
again
in this land.
And
I pray
unto
Jehovah
--
after
my
giving
the purchase -book
unto Baruch son of Neriah --
saying,
Now
when
I had
delivered
the evidence
of
the
purchase unto Baruch the
son of Neriah ,
I
prayed
unto
the
LORD,
saying,
`
Ah ,
Lord Jehovah,
lo
, Thou hast made the heavens
and the earth by Thy great power ,
and by
Thy
stretched -
out arm ;
there is nothing too wonderful
for Thee:
Ah Lord GOD!
behold
, thou hast made the heaven
and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm ,
and
there is nothing too hard
for thee:
Doing
kindness
to
thousands, and recompensing
iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons
after them ;
God,
the great, the mighty, Jehovah
of Hosts `
is '
His name,
Thou
shewest
lovingkindness
unto
thousands, and recompensest
the
iniquity of the
fathers into the bosom of their children
after them :
the Great, the Mighty God
, the
LORD
of hosts ,
is his name,
Great in counsel, and mighty in act,
in
that
Thine eyes are open on
all the ways of the sons of Adam,
to give to
each
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Great in counsel, and mighty in work:
for
thine eyes are open upon
all the ways of the sons of men:
to give every
one
according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
In
that
thou
hast done
signs and wonders in the land of Egypt unto this day, and in Israel, and among men ,
and Thou
dost
make
for
Thee a name as `
at '
this day .
Which
hast set
signs and wonders in the land of Egypt ,
even
unto this day, and in Israel, and among other
men ;
and hast
made
thee a name ,
as at this day ;
`
And Thou
bringest
forth Thy people Israel from
the land of Egypt ,
with signs and with wonders, and by
a strong hand, and by
a stretched -
out arm, and by
great fear,
And hast
brought
forth thy people Israel out
of
the land of Egypt with signs ,
and with wonders, and with
a strong hand, and with
a stretched out arm, and with
great terror;
And thou
givest
to
them this land that
thou didst swear to their fathers to give to
them, a land flowing with milk and honey ,
And hast
given
them this land ,
which
thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey ;
And they come
in, and possess
it ,
and
they have
not hearkened
to
Thy voice, and
in Thy law have not
walked,
all that which
Thou didst
lay
a
charge
on
them to do they
have
not
done,
and
Thou dost
proclaim
`to'
them
all this evil .
And they came
in, and possessed
it ;
but
they obeyed
not thy voice, neither
walked
in thy law ;
they
have done
nothing
of
all that thou commandedst
them to do :
therefore
thou hast
caused
all this evil to
come
upon
them:
`Lo,
the mounts --
they have
come in
to
the city to capture
it ,
and the city hath
been
given into the hand of the Chaldeans who
are
fighting
against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence ;
and that
which
Thou hast spoken hath
come to pass ,
and lo
, Thou art
seeing;
Behold
the mounts ,
they are
come unto
the city to take
it ;
and the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans ,
that
fight
against it, because of the sword, and of
the famine, and of
the pestilence :
and what
thou hast spoken is
come to pass ;
and, behold,
thou seest
it.
Yet
Thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah
, Buy for
thee the field with
money, and cause
witnesses to
testify
--
and
the city hath
been
given into the hand of the Chaldeans !'
And
thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD
, Buy thee the field for
money, and take
witnesses ;
for
the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans .
And
the word of Jehovah
is
unto Jeremiah, saying :
Then
came
the word of the
LORD
unto Jeremiah, saying ,
`Lo
, I `
am '
Jehovah
, God of all flesh: For
Me
is anything
too wonderful
?
Behold
, I am the
LORD
, the
God of all flesh: is there
any
thing
too hard
for
me
?
`
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah,
Lo
, I am
giving
this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he hath
captured
it ;
Therefore thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, I will
give
this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall
take
it :
And come
in
have
the Chaldeans who
are
fighting
against this city, and they
have
set this city on
fire
, and have
burned
it ,
and
the houses on
whose roofs they made
perfume
to
Baal, and poured out libations
to
other gods, so
as
to provoke Me to anger.
And the Chaldeans ,
that
fight
against this city, shall
come
and set fire
on
this city, and burn
it with
the houses ,
upon
whose roofs they have
offered
incense
unto
Baal, and poured out drink
offerings
unto
other gods, to provoke me to anger.
For the sons
of Israel and the sons
of Judah have been
only doing
evil in
Mine
eyes,
from their youth ;
for the sons
of Israel are
only provoking
Me with the work of their hands --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
For the children
of Israel and the children
of Judah have only done
evil before
me
from their youth :
for the children
of Israel have
only provoked
me to
anger
with the work of their hands ,
saith
the
LORD
.
`
For a cause
of Mine anger ,
and a
cause
of My fury ,
hath
this
city
been
to
Me,
even
from the day that they built it ,
and
unto this day --
to
turn
it aside
from before My face,
For this
city
hath
been
to
me
as
a provocation
of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even
unto this day ;
that
I
should
remove
it from before my face,
Because of all the evil of the sons
of Israel ,
and of the sons
of Judah that
they have done ,
so
as
to provoke Me --
they, their kings, their heads
, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Because of all the evil of the children
of Israel and of the children
of Judah ,
which
they have done to provoke me to
anger,
they, their kings, their princes
, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And they turn
unto Me the neck
, and not the face ,
and
teaching
them, rising early and teaching, and
they are
not hearkening
to accept
instruction.
And they have
turned
unto me the back
, and not the face :
though
I
taught
them, rising up
early and teaching them
, yet
they have
not hearkened
to receive
instruction.
`And
they set their abominations in the house over
which My
name
is called, so
as
to defile it ;
But
they set their abominations in the house ,
which is called by
my
name
, to defile it .
And they build
the high places of Baal, that
`
are '
in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to
Molech ,
which I did
not
command
them, nor
did
it come
up
on
my heart
to
do this abomination, so
as
to cause Judah to sin.
And they built
the high places of Baal, which
are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the
fire
unto
Molech ;
which I commanded
them not
, neither
came
it into
my mind,
that
they
should
do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
`
And now ,
therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, concerning this city, of
which
ye are
saying
, It hath
been
given
into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence ,
And now therefore thus saith
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof
ye say
, It shall
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon by the
sword, and by the
famine, and by the
pestilence ;
Lo
, I am
gathering
them out of all the
lands
whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath ,
and I have
brought
them back
unto this place, and have
caused
them to dwell confidently;
Behold
, I will
gather
them out of all countries,
whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath ;
and I will
bring
them again
unto this place, and I
will
cause
them to dwell safely:
and they have
been
to
Me
for
a
people, and I am
to
them
for
God ;
And they shall
be
my
people, and I will
be
their
God :
and I have
given
to
them one heart, and one way, to
fear Me all
the
days
, for good to
them, and to
their sons
after them:
And I will
give
them one heart, and one way, that
they
may
fear me for
ever
, for the
good of
them, and of
their children
after them:
and I have
made
for
them
a
covenant age-during
, in
that I turn
not back
from after
them for
My
doing
them good ,
and
My
fear
I put in their heart
, so
as
not to
turn
aside
from me ;
And I will
make
an
everlasting
covenant with
them
, that I will
not turn
away
from them ,
to
do
them good ;
but
I will
put my
fear
in their hearts
, that
they
shall
not depart
from me .
and
I have
rejoiced
over them to do them good, and have
planted
them in this land in
truth,
with all
my heart ,
and with all
My soul.
Yea,
I will
rejoice
over them to do them good, and I
will
plant
them in this land assuredly
with my whole
heart and with my whole
soul.
`
For thus said
Jehovah:
As I brought in
unto
this
people
all this great evil, so I am
bringing
in
on
them all the good that I am
speaking
concerning
them ;
For thus saith
the
LORD;
Like
as I have
brought all this great evil upon
this
people
, so will
I bring
upon
them all the good that I have
promised
them .
and bought hath
been
the
field
in this land of
which
ye are
saying
, A
desolation
it `
is ',
without man and
beast ,
it hath
been
given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
And fields
shall
be
bought in this land ,
whereof
ye say
, It is desolate
without man or
beast ;
it is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Fields with
money they
buy
, so
as
to
write
in
a
book
, and to
seal, and to
cause
witnesses to
testify,
in the land of Benjamin, and in suburbs
of
Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country
, and in cities of the low
country
, and in cities of the south ,
for I turn
back
their captivity --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Men
shall
buy
fields for
money, and
subscribe
evidences
, and seal them
, and take
witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the
places
about
Jerusalem, and in the
cities of Judah, and in the
cities of the mountains
, and in the
cities of the valley
, and in the
cities of the south :
for I will
cause
their captivity to
return,
saith
the
LORD
.
