King James Version
The word that
hath
been
unto Jeremiah from Jehovah
--
and
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force
, and all kingdoms
of
the land
of the dominion
of his hand
, and all the peoples
are
fighting
against Jerusalem, and against all its
cities --
saying :
The word which
came
unto Jeremiah from the
LORD,
when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army
, and all the kingdoms
of the earth
of his dominion
, and all the people,
fought
against Jerusalem, and against all the
cities thereof,
saying ,
`
Thus said
Jehovah
, God of Israel :
Go ,
and thou
hast
spoken
unto
Zedekiah king of Judah, and hast
said
unto
him, Thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, I am
giving
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath
burned
it with fire ,
Thus saith
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel ;
Go and speak
to
Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell
him, Thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, I will
give
this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall
burn
it with fire :
and thou ,
thou
dost
not escape out of his hand, for
thou
art
certainly
caught
, and into his hand thou
art
given,
and thine eyes see
the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his
mouth
with thy
mouth speaketh
, and Babylon
thou enterest
.
And thou shalt
not escape out of his hand, but
shalt
surely
be
taken
, and delivered
into his hand ;
and thine eyes shall
behold
the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he
shall
speak
with thee
mouth to
mouth
, and thou shalt
go
to
Babylon
.
`Only,
hear a
word of Jehovah
, O Zedekiah king of Judah ,
Thus said
Jehovah
unto
thee :
Thou dost
not die by sword ,
Yet
hear the
word of the
LORD
, O Zedekiah king of Judah ;
Thus saith
the
LORD
of
thee ,
Thou shalt
not die by the
sword :
in peace thou
diest,
and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who
have
been
before thee, so they make
a
burning
for thee; and Ah,
lord,
they lament for
thee, for the
word
I have spoken
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
But
thou
shalt
die
in peace :
and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which
were
before thee, so shall
they burn
odours
for thee; and they will
lament thee, saying,
Ah
lord!
for I have pronounced
the
word,
saith
the
LORD
.
And
Jeremiah the prophet speaketh
unto Zedekiah king of Judah all
these
words
in Jerusalem,
Then
Jeremiah the prophet spake
all
these
words
unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
and
the
forces
of
the king of Babylon
are
fighting
against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are
left --
against Lachish, and against Azekah ,
for these have
been
left
among
the
cities of Judah,
cities of fortresses
.
When
the king of Babylon's
army
fought
against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were
left ,
against Lachish, and against Azekah :
for these defenced
cities remained
of the
cities of Judah
.
The word that hath
been
unto Jeremiah from Jehovah
, after the
making
by
the king Zedekiah of
a covenant with all the people who
`are'
in
Jerusalem, to proclaim to
them
liberty ,
This
is
the word that came
unto Jeremiah from the
LORD
, after that
the king Zedekiah had
made
a covenant with all the people which
were
at
Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto
them;
to
send
out
each
his
man -servant
, and each
his maid-servant
--
the
Hebrew and
the
Hebrewess --
free, so
as
not
to lay
service
on
them
, any
on
a Jew his brother ;
That
every
man should
let
his
manservant
, and every
man
his maidservant,
being
an
Hebrew or
an
Hebrewess ,
go
free ;
that
none
should
serve
himself
of
them
, to wit
, of
a Jew his brother .
and
hearken
do
all the heads
, and all the people who
have
come
in
to
the covenant to
send
forth
each
his man-servant
and each
his maid-servant
free, so
as
not
to
lay
service
on
them any more, yea,
they hearken
, and send
them away;
Now
when
all the princes
, and all the people ,
which
had
entered
into
the covenant ,
heard
that
every
one
should
let
his manservant,
and every
one
his maidservant,
go
free, that
none
should
serve
themselves
of
them any more, then
they obeyed
, and let
them go.
and
they turn
afterwards
, and cause
the men-
servants and the maid-servants
to
return
, whom they had sent
forth
free, and they
subdue
them for men-
servants and for maid-servants
.
But
afterward
they turned
, and caused
the servants and the handmaids
, whom they had let
go
free, to
return,
and brought
them into
subjection
for servants and for handmaids
.
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah from Jehovah
, saying :
Therefore
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah from the
LORD
, saying ,
`
Thus said
Jehovah
, God of Israel ,
I
--
I made a covenant with your fathers in the day of
My
bringing
them forth from
the land of Egypt, from
a
house of servants
, saying,
Thus saith
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel ;
I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that
I
brought
them forth out
of
the land of Egypt, out
of
the
house of bondmen
, saying,
At the end of seven years ye do
send
forth
each
his brother ,
the
Hebrew, who
is
sold to
thee ,
and hath served thee six years, yea,
thou hast
sent
him forth
free from thee: and
your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor
inclined their ear.
At the end of seven years let
ye go
every
man
his brother an
Hebrew, which
hath
been
sold unto
thee ;
and when
he
hath served thee six years, thou shalt
let
him go
free from thee: but
your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither
inclined their ear.
`
And ye turn
back,
ye
to-day
, and ye
do
that
which
is
right in Mine
eyes
, to
proclaim
liberty each
to his neighbour ,
and ye make
a covenant before Me in the house over
which My
name
is called .
And ye were
now
turned
, and had
done
right in my
sight
, in
proclaiming
liberty every
man
to his neighbour ;
and ye had
made
a covenant before me in the house which is called by
my
name:
And
--
ye turn
back,
and pollute
My name, and ye
cause
each
his
man -
servant and each
his maid-servant
, whom he had sent
forth
free,
(
at their pleasure, )
to return, and ye
subdue
them to be to
you for men-
servants and for maid-servants
.
But
ye turned
and polluted
my name, and caused
every
man his
servant ,
and every
man
his handmaid
, whom he had set
at liberty
at
their pleasure, to return, and brought
them into
subjection,
to be unto
you for servants and for handmaids
.
`
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah:
Ye have not hearkened unto Me to
proclaim
freedom
, each
to his brother, and each
to his neighbour ;
lo
, I am
proclaiming
to
you
liberty --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
unto
the sword, unto
the pestilence, and unto
the famine ,
and I have
given
you for
a
trembling
to all kingdoms of the earth.
Therefore thus saith
the
LORD;
Ye have not hearkened unto me, in
proclaiming
liberty,
every
one
to his brother, and every
man
to his neighbour :
behold
, I proclaim
a
liberty for
you,
saith
the LORD,
to
the
sword, to
the pestilence, and to
the famine ;
and I will
make
you to be
removed
into
all the
kingdoms of the earth.
`
And I have
given
the men who
are
transgressing
My covenant, who
have not established
the words of the covenant that
they have
made before Me, by
the
calf,
that
they have
cut in two
, and pass
through
between its
pieces
--
And I will
give
the men that
have
transgressed
my covenant, which
have not performed
the words of the covenant which
they had
made before me, when
they cut the
calf
in twain
, and passed
between the
parts
thereof,
heads
of Judah, and heads
of Jerusalem, the officers
, and the priests, and all the people of the land those
passing
through
between the pieces
of the calf --
The
princes
of Judah, and the
princes
of Jerusalem, the eunuchs
, and the priests, and all the people of the land ,
which
passed
between the parts
of the calf ;
yea,
I have
given
them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those
seeking
their soul,
and their carcase
hath
been
for food
to
the fowl
of the heavens
, and to the beast
of the earth.
I will
even
give
them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them
that
seek
their life:
and their dead
bodies
shall
be
for meat
unto
the fowls
of the heaven
, and to the beasts
of the earth.
`
And Zedekiah king of Judah ,
and his heads,
I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those
seeking
their soul
, and into the hand of the forces
of
the
king of Babylon
, that
are going
up from off
you.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes
will
I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them
that
seek
their life
, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's
army
, which
are gone
up from you.
Lo
, I am
commanding
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and have
brought
them back
unto
this city ,
and they have
fought
against it, and captured
it, and burned
it with fire ,
and the cities of Judah I
do
make
a desolation --
without inhabitant. '
Behold
, I will
command,
saith
the
LORD,
and cause
them to
return
to
this city ;
and they shall
fight
against it, and take
it, and burn
it with fire :
and I
will
make
the cities of Judah a desolation without an
inhabitant.
