Berean Standard Bible
And
reign
doth
king Zedekiah son of Josiah instead
of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
had
caused
to
reign
in
the
land
of
Judah,
Nebuchadnezzar
king of
Babylon
made
Zedekiah son of Josiah the
king
of Judah,
and
he
reigned
in
place
of
Coniah son of Jehoiakim .
and
he
hath
not
hearkened,
he ,
and his servants,
and the people of the land ,
unto
the words of
Jehovah,
that He
spake
by
the hand
of
Jeremiah the prophet.
But
he and his officers
and the people of the land refused
to
obey
the words that the LORD
had
spoken
through
Jeremiah the prophet.
And
Zedekiah
the
king sendeth
Jehucal son of Shelemiah ,
and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the
priest
, unto
Jeremiah the prophet ,
saying
, `
Pray ,
we
beseech
thee,
for
us
unto
Jehovah
our God .'
Yet
King Zedekiah
sent
Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the
priest,
the
son of Maaseiah, to
Jeremiah the prophet with
the
message
, “Please
pray to
the
LORD
our God for
us!”
And
Jeremiah is
coming
in
and going
out
in
the
midst
of
the people, (and
they have
not put him in the
prison -house),
Now
Jeremiah was
free
to
come
and go
among
the people, for
they had
not yet
put him in prison .
and
the
force
of
Pharaoh
hath
come
out
of
Egypt, and the Chaldeans ,
who are
laying
siege
against
Jerusalem ,
hear
their
report, and
go
up
from off
Jerusalem.
Pharaoh’s
army
had
left
Egypt, and when
the Chaldeans who were
besieging
Jerusalem heard
the
report, they
withdrew
from Jerusalem.
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah the prophet ,
saying
:
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah the prophet:
`Thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, Thus
do
ye
say
unto
the king of Judah, who is
sending
you unto
Me,
to seek
Me: Lo
, the
force
of
Pharaoh
that
is
coming
out to you
for
help hath
turned
back to its land ,
to
Egypt ,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says
that
you
are
to
tell
the king of Judah, who sent
you to Me: Behold
, Pharaoh’s
army,
which
has
marched
out to help you,
will
go
back to its own
land of
Egypt .
and
the Chaldeans have
turned
back,
and fought
against this city ,
and
captured
it ,
and burnt
it with
fire
.
Then
the Chaldeans will
return
and fight
against this city .
They
will
capture
it and burn
it down
.
`Thus
said
Jehovah
: Lift
not up
your
souls
saying, The Chaldeans surely
go from
off
us
, for they do
not go;
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: Do
not deceive
yourselves
by
saying, ‘
The Chaldeans will
go away
for
good
, ’
for they will
not !
for
though
ye
had
smitten
all
the force
of the Chaldeans who
are
fighting with
you, and there
were
left
of
them
wounded men --
each
in his
tent
--
they
rise
, and have
burnt
this city with
fire
. '
Indeed,
if
you
were
to
strike
down
the entire
army
of the Chaldeans that
is
fighting against
you, and only
wounded men remained
in their
tents
, they
would
still
get
up
and burn
this city down
. ”
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in
the
going
up
of
the
force
of
the Chaldeans
from off
Jerusalem ,
because
of
the
force
of Pharaoh
,
When
the Chaldean
army
withdrew
from Jerusalem for
fear
of Pharaoh’s
army
,
that
Jeremiah goeth
out
from
Jerusalem to go `
to '
the land of Benjamin ,
to receive
a
portion thence
in
the
midst
of
the people.
Jeremiah started
to
leave
Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim
his
portion there
among
the people.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
he is
at
the gate of Benjamin, and
there
`is'
a
master
of the ward
--
and
his
name is
Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah --
and
he
catcheth
Jeremiah
the
prophet
, saying
, `Unto
the Chaldeans thou
art
falling.'
But
when
he reached
the Gate of Benjamin, the
captain
of the guard,
whose
name was
Irijah son of Shelemiah, the
son of Hananiah, seized
him
and
said
, “You
are
deserting
to
the Chaldeans !”
And
Jeremiah
saith
, `Falsehood
--
I am not falling
unto
the Chaldeans ;'
and
he
hath
not hearkened
unto
him, and
Irijah
layeth
hold
on
Jeremiah ,
and bringeth
him in
unto
the heads,
“That
is
a
lie
, ”
Jeremiah
replied.
“
I am not deserting
to
the Chaldeans !”
But
Irijah
would
not listen
to
him ;
instead
, he
arrested
Jeremiah and took
him to
the officials.
and
the heads
are
wroth
against
Jeremiah, and have
smitten
him ,
and put
him in the
prison-house
--
the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it they
had made for
a prison -house
.
The officials
were
angry
with
Jeremiah, and they
beat
him and placed
him in jail
in
the house of Jonathan the scribe, for it had been
made into
a prison.
When
Jeremiah hath
entered
into the
house
of
the dungeon ,
and unto
the
cells,
then
Jeremiah
dwelleth
there many
days,
So
Jeremiah went
into a
cell
in
the dungeon and remained
there a
long
time.
and
the
king Zedekiah sendeth,
and
taketh
him,
and the
king
asketh
him in his house
in
secret
, and
saith
, `
Is there a word from Jehovah
? '
And
Jeremiah
saith,
`
There is, '
and
he
saith,
`
Into the hand of the king of Babylon thou
art
given
. '
Later,
King Zedekiah sent
for
Jeremiah
and received
him in his palace
, where
he
asked
him
privately
, “
Is there a word from the
LORD
? ”
“
There is, ”
Jeremiah
replied.
“You
will
be
delivered
into the hand of the king of Babylon. ”
And
Jeremiah saith
unto
the
king Zedekiah, `What
have I sinned against thee,
and
against
thy
servants ,
and
against
this
people, that ye
have given
me unto
a
prison -house
?
Then
Jeremiah asked
King Zedekiah, “How
have I sinned against you
or
your
servants or
these
people, that you
have put
me in
prison?
And
where `
are '
your prophets who prophesied to you, saying
, The king of Babylon doth
not come in
against you ,
and
against
this land?
Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming
, ‘
The king of Babylon will
not come against you or
this land ’
?
And
now ,
hearken,
I
pray
thee
, my lord ,
O
king ,
let
my supplication
fall,
I
pray
thee,
before thee,
and
cause
me
not to
return
`
to '
the house of Jonathan the scribe, that
I die not
there. '
But
now please
listen
, O
my lord the
king .
May
my petition
come
before you.
Do
not send
me
back
to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or
I will
die there. ”
And
the
king Zedekiah commandeth,
and
they
commit
Jeremiah into
the court
of the prison,
also
to
give
to
him
a cake
of bread daily from the bakers'
street ,
till
the
consumption
of all the bread of
the city ,
and
Jeremiah dwelleth
in the court
of the prison
.
So
King Zedekiah gave
orders
for
Jeremiah to
be
placed
in
the courtyard
of the guard
and
given
a loaf
of bread daily from the street of the
bakers,
until
all the bread in
the city was
gone.
So
Jeremiah remained
in the courtyard
of the guard
.
