Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the word that came
to
Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living
in the land of Egypt —
in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis
—
and in the land of Pathros :
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who
are
dwelling
in the land of Egypt --
who
are
dwelling
in Migdol, and
in
Tahpanhes, and in
Noph,
and in the land of Pathros --
saying,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: You
have seen all the disaster
that I brought against
Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah ;
and behold
, they lie
today
in
ruins
and desolation
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: Ye
--
ye
have seen all the evil
that I have
brought in
on
Jerusalem ,
and on
all the cities of Judah ,
and lo
, they `are'
a
waste
this
day,
and there
is
none
dwelling
in
them,
because of the
evil
they have done .
They
provoked
Me to anger by continuing
to
burn
incense
and
to serve
other gods that neither
they nor
you
nor
your fathers ever
knew
.
because of their
wickedness
that
they have done ,
by
provoking
Me to anger ,
by going
to make
perfume,
by
serving
other gods ,
that they knew
not,
they,
ye,
and
your fathers.
Yet
I sent
you all My servants the prophets again
and again
, saying: ‘
Do not do
this detestable
thing
that I hate.’
`And
I send
unto
you all my servants ,
the prophets ,
rising
early
and sending
, saying: I
pray
you,
do not this abomination
that I have
hated
--
But
they did
not listen
or
incline
their ears;
they
did
not
turn from their wickedness or
stop
burning
incense
to other gods .
and
they have
not hearkened
nor
inclined
their ear,
to
turn back
from their wickedness ,
not
to make
perfume
to
other gods ,
Therefore
My
wrath
and anger
poured out and burned
in the
cities of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem, so
that
they
have
become
the
desolate
ruin
they are today
.
and poured out is
My
fury,
and Mine
anger,
and
it
burneth
in cities of Judah ,
and in streets of Jerusalem, and
they are for
a
waste,
for
a
desolation,
as
`at'
this
day
.
So
now, this
is
what
the
LORD
God
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: Why are you
doing such
great harm
to yourselves
by
cutting
off from
Judah
man and woman, child
and
infant, leaving
yourselves
without
a remnant ?
`And,
now, thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are ye
doing great evil
unto
your
own
souls,
to cut
off to
you
man and woman, infant and
suckling
, from
the
midst
of
Judah,
so
as
not
to
leave
to
you
a remnant :
Why
are
you
provoking Me to anger by the work
of your hands by burning
incense
to other gods in the land of Egypt, where
you
have
gone
to reside?
As
a
result
, you
will
be
cut off and will
become
an
object
of
cursing
and reproach among all the
nations of the earth .
by
provoking Me to anger by the works
of your hands ,
by making
perfume
to other gods in the land of Egypt, whither
ye
are
going
in
to sojourn
, so
as
to
cut yourselves
off ,
and so
as
to
your
being
for
a
reviling
and for
a
reproach among all nations of the earth ?
Have you
forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as
well
as
the
wickedness that
you
and your wives committed
in the land of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem?
`
Have ye
forgotten the wickedness of your fathers ,
and the
wickedness
of the kings of Judah ,
and the
wickedness
of
their wives, and
your
own
wickedness ,
and the
wickedness
of
your wives ,
that
they
have
done
in the land of Judah ,
and in streets of Jerusalem?
To
this
day
they have not humbled themselves
or
shown
reverence
, nor have they followed
My instruction
or
the
statutes that I set before you and your fathers.
They have not been
humbled unto
this
day
, nor have they been
afraid,
nor
have
they
walked
in
My law,
and
in
My
statutes ,
that I have
set before you and before
your fathers.
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: I will
set
My face to
bring
disaster
and
to cut off all Judah .
`
Therefore ,
thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo,
I am
setting
my face against
you
for
evil,
even
to cut off all Judah ,
And I will
take
away
the remnant of Judah who have resolved
to
go
to the land of Egypt to reside
there ;
they
will
meet
their
end.
They will
all fall by the
sword or
be
consumed
by famine .
From the least to
the greatest, they
will
die
by sword or
famine ;
and they will
become
an object
of
cursing
and horror
, of
vilification
and reproach.
and I have
taken
the remnant of Judah ,
who have set
their
faces
to enter
the land of Egypt to sojourn
there ,
and
they have
all been
consumed
in
the
land
of
Egypt;
they
fall by sword ,
by famine they
are
consumed,
from the least even
unto
the greatest, by sword and
by
famine they
die,
and they have
been
for
an execration,
for
an
astonishment,
and for
a
reviling
, and for
a
reproach.
I will
punish
those who
live
in the land of Egypt, just
as I punished
Jerusalem, by
sword and
famine and plague
,
`And
I have
seen
after
those dwelling
in the land of Egypt, as I saw
after
Jerusalem, with
sword ,
with
famine ,
and with
pestilence
,
so
that
none
of the remnant of Judah who have
gone
to
reside
in
Egypt will
escape
or
survive
to return
to the land of Judah, where
they long
to return and
live;
for none
will
return
except a
few
fugitives
. ”
and
there
is
not
an
escaped
and
remaining
one
of the remnant of Judah ,
who are
entering
into
the
land
of
Egypt to sojourn
there,
even
to turn
back
to
the land of Judah, whither
they are
lifting
up
their
soul
to return to
dwell,
for they
do
not
turn
back,
except those
escaping
. '
Then
all the men who knew
that their wives were
burning
incense
to other gods, and all the women standing
by—
a great assembly —along
with
all the people living
in the land of Egypt and
in Pathros ,
said
to
Jeremiah,
And
they
answer
Jeremiah
--
all the men who are
knowing
that their wives are
making
perfume
to other gods, and all the women who
are
remaining,
a great assembly ,
even
all the people who
are
dwelling
in the land of Egypt ,
in Pathros --
saying:
“As
for
the word you
have
spoken to
us in the name of the
LORD,
we will
not listen
to
you!
`
The word that
thou
hast
spoken unto
us in the name of Jehovah
--
we are
not hearkening
unto
thee;
Instead,
we will
do everything we
vowed
to do:
We
will
burn
incense
to the Queen of Heaven
and offer
drink
offerings
to her, just
as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials
did
in the
cities of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem .
At
that
time
we had
plenty
of
food
and good
things
, and we saw
no
disaster
.
for
we certainly
do everything that
hath
gone
out
of
our
mouth,
to make
perfume
to the queen of the
heavens,
and to pour
out
to
her libations
, as we have
done
, we,
and
our fathers, our kings, and our heads,
in cities of Judah ,
and in streets of Jerusalem ,
and
--
we are
satisfied
with
bread,
and we
are
well
, and evil
we have
not
seen
.
But
from the time we stopped
burning
incense
to the Queen of Heaven
and pouring
out drink
offerings
to her, we have lacked everything
and have
been
perishing
by sword and famine .”
`And
from the time we have
ceased
to make
perfume
to
the queen of the
heavens,
and to
pour
out to her libations
, we have lacked all,
and by sword and by
famine we
have
been
consumed,
“Moreover,”
said
the
women,
“
when we burned
incense
to the Queen of Heaven
and poured
out drink
offerings
to her ,
was
it
without our husbands ’
knowledge
that
we made sacrificial
cakes in
her image
and poured
out drink
offerings
to her? ”
and
when we are
making
perfume
to the queen of the
heavens,
and pouring
out to her libations
--
without our husbands have
we made for
her
cakes to
idolize
her ,
and to
pour
out to her libations
? '
Then
Jeremiah said
to
all the people, both
men and women, who were
answering him,
And
Jeremiah saith
unto
all the people, concerning
the
men and concerning
the
women, and
concerning
all
the
people
who are
answering him, saying:
“As
for
the incense
you
burned
in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem —you
, your fathers, your kings, your officials
, and the people of the land —did
the
LORD
not remember
and
bring
this
to
mind
?
`
The perfume
that
ye
made
in the cities of Judah ,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye,
and
your fathers, your kings, and
your heads
, and the people of the land ,
hath
not Jehovah
remembered
it
? yea,
it
cometh
up
on
His
heart.
So
the
LORD
could
no
longer
endure
the
evil
deeds
and detestable
acts
you committed
, and your land became
a
desolation,
a horror
, and an object
of
cursing
, without inhabitant, as it
is
this day.
And Jehovah
is
not
able
any
more
to
accept
`
you '
, because
of
the
evil
of
your
doings,
because
of
the
abominations
that
ye
have
done,
and your land is
for
a waste
, and for
an astonishment
, and
for
a
reviling,
without inhabitant, as `at'
this day.
Because you
burned
incense
and sinned against the
LORD
, and did
not obey
the voice of the
LORD
or
walk
in His instruction
, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster
has
befallen
you ,
as you
see
today
. ”
`
Because that
ye
have
made
perfume,
and because
ye
have
sinned against Jehovah
, and have
not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah,
and
in His law
, and
in
His statutes, and in
His testimonies ye
have
not
walked
, therefore
hath
this evil
met
you as `at'
this
day
. '
Then
Jeremiah said
to
all the people, including
all the women, “
Hear the
word of the
LORD
, all those
of
Judah who are in the land of Egypt .
And
Jeremiah saith
unto
all the people, and
unto
all the women, `
Hear ye
a
word of Jehovah
, all Judah who `
are '
in the land of Egypt ,
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel, says
: As
for
you
and your wives ,
you
have
spoken
with your mouths
and fulfilled
with your hands your
words
: ‘
We will
surely
perform
our vows that we have made
to burn
incense
to the Queen of Heaven
and to pour out drink
offerings
to her .’
Go
ahead,
then
, do what
you
have
promised!
Keep
your vows !
Thus
spake
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel, saying
: Ye
and your wives both
speak
with your mouth,
and with your hands have
fulfilled,
saying
: We certainly
execute
our vows that we have vowed,
to make
perfume
to the queen of the
heavens,
and to pour out to her libations
, ye
do certainly
establish
your vows ,
and
certainly
execute
your
vows.
Nevertheless
, hear the
word of the
LORD
, all you
people
of
Judah living
in Egypt: Behold
, I have sworn by My great name, says
the
LORD
, that
never
again
will
any man of Judah living
in the land of Egypt invoke
My
name
or
say,
‘As
surely
as
the
Lord
GOD
lives
. ’
`Therefore
, hear ye
a
word of Jehovah
, all Judah who
are
dwelling
in the
land
of
Egypt: Lo
, I --
I
have sworn by My great name, said
Jehovah
, My
name
is
no
more
proclaimed
by
the
mouth
of
any man of Judah ,
saying,
Live
doth
the
Lord
Jehovah
--
in all
the land of Egypt.
I am watching over them for harm
and not for good, and every
man
of Judah who is
in the land of Egypt will
meet
his
end
by sword or
famine, until
they
are
finished
off
.
Lo,
I am watching over them for evil,
and not for good, and consumed
have
been
all
the
men
of Judah who `are'
in the land of Egypt ,
by sword and
by
famine, till
their
consumption
.
Those
who
escape
the sword will
return
from
Egypt to Judah, few in number, and the whole
remnant of Judah who went
to
dwell
in
the land of Egypt will
know
whose word will
stand
, Mine or theirs !
`And
the escaped
of
the
sword turn
back
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt to the
land
of
Judah, few in number, and known
have
all
the remnant of Judah who are
coming
into
the land of Egypt to
sojourn
there,
whose word is
established
, Mine or theirs .
This will
be
a
sign
to you that I will
punish
you in this place, declares
the
LORD,
so that you
may
know that My threats
of
harm
against you will
surely
stand.
`And
this `is'
to you the
sign
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
that I am
seeing
after
you in this place, so that ye
know that My words
are
certainly
established
against you for
evil;
This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Behold
, I will
deliver
Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands
of his enemies who
seek
his life, just
as I delivered
Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, the
enemy who was
seeking his life. ”
Thus
said
Jehovah
, Lo,
I am
giving
Pharaoh -
Hophra king of Egypt into the hand
of his enemies ,
and
into
the
hand
of
those
seeking
his life, as I have
given
Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, his
enemy ,
and
who is
seeking his life. '
