Berean Standard Bible
And
they
come
nigh
--
all the heads
of the forces, and
Johanan son of Kareah, and
Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even
unto
the greatest --
Then
all the commanders
of the forces, along
with
Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to
the greatest ,
approached
and
they
say
unto
Jeremiah the prophet ,
`Let,
we
pray
thee
, our supplication
fall
before thee,
and
pray for
us
unto
Jehovah
thy
God ,
for
all
this remnant ;
for we
have
been
left
a
few out
of many, as thine
eyes
do
see us;
Jeremiah the prophet and
said
, “May
our petition
come
before you;
pray to
the
LORD
your
God on
behalf
of
this entire
remnant .
For few of us
remain
of
the
many, as you
can
see with
your
own
eyes.
and
Jehovah
thy
God doth
declare
to
us the way in
which
we walk ,
and the thing that
we do. '
Pray
that
the
LORD
your
God will
tell
us the way we should
walk and the thing we should
do. ”
And
Jeremiah
the
prophet
saith
unto
them,
`
I have heard :
lo
, I am
praying
unto
Jehovah
your
God
according
to
your
words,
and
it
hath
come
to pass,
the whole
word
that
Jehovah
answereth
you, I declare
to
you --
I do
not withhold from
you
a word. '
“
I have heard you
, ”
replied
Jeremiah
the
prophet.
“
I will
surely
pray
to the LORD
your
God
as
you request
, and
I will
tell
you everything
that
the
LORD
answers;
I will
not withhold a word from
you
. ”
And
they have
said to Jeremiah, `Jehovah
is
against
us
for
a witness
true and faithful ,
if
--
according
to
all
the
word
with
which
Jehovah
thy
God
doth
send
thee
unto
us --
we do not so
.
Then
they said to Jeremiah, “May
the
LORD
be
a true and faithful witness
against
us if
we do not act
upon
every
word
that
the
LORD
your
God
sends
you
to
tell
us
.
Whether good
or evil
, to
the voice of Jehovah
our God ,
to whom we are sending thee
, we
do
hearken;
because
it is
good
for
us when
we hearken
to
the voice of Jehovah
our God .'
Whether it
is
pleasant
or unpleasant
, we
will
obey
the voice of the
LORD
our God to whom we are sending you
, so
that
it may
go
well
with
us ,
for
we will
obey
the voice of the
LORD
our God !”
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
end
of
ten days ,
that
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah,
After
ten days the
word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah,
and he calleth
unto
Johanan son of Kareah, and
unto
all the heads
of the forces that
`are'
with him, and to
all the people ,
from the least even
unto
the greatest ,
and he summoned
Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders
of the forces who
were
with him, and all the people from the least to
the greatest .
and
he
saith
unto
them, `
Thus said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, unto
whom ye
sent me ,
to cause
your supplication
to
fall
before
Him
:
Jeremiah
told
them, “
Thus says
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, to
whom you
sent me to present
your petition
:
`
If ye
do
certainly
dwell
in this land, then I have
builded
you up ,
and I
throw
not down; and
I have
planted
you ,
and I
pluck
not up;
for I have
repented
concerning
the evil
that
I have done
to
you.
‘
If you
will
indeed
stay
in this land, then I will
build
you up and not tear
you
down; I will
plant
you and not uproot
you,
for I will
relent
of
the disaster
I have brought
upon
you.
Be
not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom ye
are
afraid
of
; be
not afraid of him --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
for with you `am'
I,
to save you ,
and to
deliver you from his
hand
.
Do
not be
afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you
now
fear
; do
not be
afraid of him ,
declares
the
LORD,
for I
am
with you to save you and deliver you from him
.
And I give
to
you mercies
, and he hath
pitied
you ,
and caused
you to turn
back
unto
your own ground
.
And I will
show
you compassion
, and he will
have
compassion
on
you and restore
you to your own land
. ’
`And
if ye
are
saying
, We do
not dwell
in this land --
not
to
hearken
to
the voice of Jehovah
your God,
But
if you
say
, ‘
We will
not stay
in this land ,’
and
you
thus
disobey
the voice of the
LORD
your God,
saying
, No ;
but the land of Egypt we
enter
, that
we see no
war ,
and
the sound of a
trumpet
do
not
hear,
and
for bread be
not
hungry;
and
there
do
we
dwell.
and
if
you
say
, ‘
No ,
but we
will
go
to
the land of Egypt and
live
there
, where
we will
not
see war or
hear
the sound of the
ram’s
horn
or
hunger
for bread ,’
And
now,
therefore,
hear ye
a
word of Jehovah
, O remnant of Judah :
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: If ye
really
set
your
faces
to enter
Egypt ,
and have
gone
in
to
sojourn
there,
then
hear the
word of the
LORD
, O remnant of Judah !
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
If you
are
determined
to go
to
Egypt and reside
there,
then it
hath
come
to
pass,
the sword that
ye
are
afraid
of,
doth
there
overtake you, in
the
land
of
Egypt;
and the hunger,
because
of
which
ye
are
sorrowful,
doth
there
cleave
after
you in
Egypt, and there
ye
die.
then the sword you
fear
will
overtake you there
, and the famine
you dread
will
follow
on
your
heels
into
Egypt, and you
will
die there
.
`Thus
are
all the
men
who have
set
their
faces
to enter
Egypt to sojourn
there ;
they
die --
by sword ,
by
hunger,
and by
pestilence,
and there
is
not to
them
a
remnant
and
an
escaped
one ,
because
of the evil
that
I am
bringing
in
upon them ;
So
all who resolve
to go
to
Egypt to reside
there will
die by sword and famine
and plague.
Not one of them
will
survive
or
escape
the disaster
I will
bring
upon them .’
for thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured
out
hath
been
Mine
anger and My
fury
on the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, so poured out is
My
fury
upon
you in
your
entering
Egypt ,
and
ye
have
been
for
an
execration,
and
for
an astonishment,
and for
a
reviling
, and for
a
reproach
, and ye
do
not
see any
more
this place.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: ‘Just
as My
anger and wrath
were
poured
out
on the residents
of Jerusalem, so will
My
wrath
be
poured out on
you if
you
go
to
Egypt .
You
will
become
an object
of
cursing
and horror
, of
vilification
and disgrace
, and you
will
never
see this place again
. ’
`Jehovah
hath
spoken
against
you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter
Egypt :
know certainly
that I have testified
against
you to-day;
The
LORD
has
told
you, O remnant of Judah, ‘
Do not go
to
Egypt .’
Know for
sure
that I have warned
you today!
for ye
have shewed
yourselves perverse
in
your
souls,
for
ye
sent
me unto
Jehovah
your God, saying, Pray for
us
unto
Jehovah
our God, and according
to
all that Jehovah
our God saith
, so
declare
to us ,
and we have
done
`
it ';
For you
have deceived
yourselves by
sending
me to
the
LORD
your God, saying, ‘
Pray to
the
LORD
our God on
our
behalf
, and as
for
all that the
LORD
our God says
, tell
it
to us and we will
do
it .’
and
I declare
to
you to-day
, and
ye
have not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah
your God ,
and
to
anything
with
which
He hath
sent me unto
you.
For
I have
told
you today
, but
you
have not obeyed
the voice of the
LORD
your God in
all
He has
sent me to
tell
you.
And
now, know ye
certainly
that by sword ,
by
famine ,
and by
pestilence
ye
die ,
in the place that
ye
have
desired
to go in
to sojourn
there
. '
Now therefore
, know for
sure
that by sword and
famine and plague
you
will
die in the place where
you
desire
to go to reside
. ”
