Jeremiah Imprisoned

1

The wordh1697 that cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 from the LORDh3068 in the  atenthh6224 yearh8141 of Zedekiahh6667 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, whichh1931 was the eighteenthh8083h6240 yearh8141 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019.

2

Now at that timeh227 the armyh2428 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 was besiegingh6696ah5921 Jerusalemh3389, and Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 was shuth3607 up in the  acourth2691a of the guardh4307, whichh834 was in the househ1004 of the kingh4428 of Judahh3063,

3

becauseh834 Zedekiahh6667 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 had  ashuth3607 him up, sayingh559, "Whyh4069 do you  bprophesyh5012, sayingh559, ` cThush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009, I am about to  dgiveh5414 thish384 cityh5892b into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, and he will takeh3920 it;

4

and Zedekiahh6667 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 will  anot escapeh4422 out of the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778, but he will surelyh5414 be givenh5414 into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, and he will  bspeakh1696 with him  1faceh6310 to faceh6310 and seeh7200 him eyeh5869 to eyeh5869;

5

and he will  atakeh1980 Zedekiahh6667 to Babylonh894, and he will be thereh8033 untilh5704 I visith6485 him," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068. "Ifh3588 you fighth3898a againsth854 the Chaldeansh3778, you will  bnot succeedh6743b"'?"

6

And Jeremiahh3414 saidh559, "The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me, sayingh559,

7

`Beholdh2009, Hanamelh2601 the sonh1121 of Shallumh7967 your uncleh1730 is comingh935 to you, sayingh559, "Buyh7069 for yourself my fieldh7704 whichh834 is at  aAnathothh6068, for you have the  brighth4941 of redemptionh1353 to buyh7069 it."'

8

"Then Hanamelh2601 my uncle'sh1730 sonh1121 cameh935 to me in the  acourth2691a of the guardh4307 according to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 and saidh559 to me, `Buyh7069 my fieldh7704, pleaseh4994, that is at  bAnathothh6068, whichh834 is in the landh776 of Benjaminh1144; for you have the righth4941 of possessionh3425 and the redemptionh1353 is yours; buyh7069 it for yourself.' Then I knewh3045 that thish1931 was the  cwordh1697 of the LORDh3068.

9

"I boughth7069 the fieldh7704 whichh834 was at Anathothh6068 from Hanamelh2601 my uncle'sh1730 sonh1121, and I  aweighedh8254 out the silverh3701 for him, seventeenh7651h6235  bshekelsh8255 of silverh3701.

10

"I  1 asignedh3789 and  bsealedh2856 the deedh5612, and  ccalledh5749b in witnessesh5707, and weighedh8254 out the silverh3701 on the scalesh3976.

11

"Then I tookh3947 the deedsh5612 of purchaseh4736, both the sealedh2856 copy containing the  atermsh4687 and conditionsh2706 and the openh1540 copy;

12

and I gaveh5414 the deedh5612 of purchaseh4736 to  aBaruchh1263 the sonh1121 of  bNeriahh5374, the sonh1121 of Mahseiahh4271, in the sighth5869 of Hanamelh2601 my uncle'sh1730 son and in the sighth5869 of the witnessesh5707 who signedh3789 the deedh5612 of purchaseh4736, beforeh5869 allh3605 the Jewsh3064 who were sittingh3427 in the courth2691a of the guardh4307.

13

"And I commandedh6680 Baruchh1263 in their presenceh5869, sayingh559,

14

`Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Takeh3947 theseh428 deedsh5612, thish2088 sealedh2856 deedh5612 of purchaseh4736 and thish2088 openh1540 deedh5612, and puth5414 them in an earthenwareh2789 jarh3627, that they may  1lasth5975 a longh7227a timeh3117."

15

`For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, " aHousesh1004 and fieldsh7704 and vineyardsh3754 will againh5750 be boughth7069 in thish384 landh776."'

16

"Afterh310 I had givenh5414 the deedh5612 of purchaseh4736 to Baruchh1263 the sonh1121 of Neriahh5374, then I  aprayedh6419 to the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

17

aAhh162 Lordh136  1GODh3068! Beholdh2009, You have  bmadeh6213a the heavensh8064 and the earthh776 by Your greath1419 powerh3581b and by Your outstretchedh5186 armh2220!  cNothingh3808h3605h1697 is tooh4480 difficulth6381 for You,

18

who  ashowsh6213a lovingkindnessh2617a to thousandsh505, but  brepaysh7999a the iniquityh5771 of fathersh1 into the bosomh2436 of their childrenh1121 afterh310 them, O  cgreath1419 and  dmightyh1368 Godh410. The  eLORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is His nameh8034;

19

 agreath1419 in counselh6098 and mightyh7227a in deedh5950, whoseh834  beyesh5869 are openh6491b to allh3605 the waysh1870 of the sonsh1121 of menh120,  cgivingh5414 to everyoneh376 according to his waysh1870 and according to the fruith6529 of his deedsh4611;

20

whoh834 has  aseth7760 signsh226 and wondersh4159 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, and even to thish2088 dayh3117 both in Israelh3478 and among mankindh120; and You have  bmadeh6213a a nameh8034 for Yourself, as at thish2088 dayh3117.

21

`You  abroughth3318 Your peopleh5971a Israelh3478 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714 with signsh226 and with wondersh4159, and with a strongh2389 handh3027 and with an outstretchedh5186 armh2220 and with greath1419 terrorh4172;

22

and gaveh5414 them thish384 landh776, whichh834 You  asworeh7650 to their forefathersh1 to giveh5414 them, a landh776 flowingh2100 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706.

23

`They  acameh935 in and tookh3423 possessionh3423 of it, but they  bdid not obeyh8085 Your voiceh6963 or  cwalkh1980 in Your lawh8451; they have doneh6213a nothingh3808 of allh3605 that You commandedh6680 them to doh6213a; therefore You have made  dallh3605 thish384 calamityh7463a comeh7122 upon them.

24

`Beholdh2009, the  asiegeh5550 rampsh5550 have reachedh935 the cityh5892b to takeh3920 it; and the cityh5892b is  bgivenh5414 into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778 who fighth3898a againsth5921 it, becauseh4480h6440 of the  cswordh2719, the famineh7458 and the pestilenceh1698; and whath834 You have spokenh1696 has  dcomeh1961 to passh1961; and beholdh2009, You seeh7200 it.

25

`You have saidh559 to me, O Lordh136  1GODh3068, "Buyh7069 for yourself the fieldh7704 with moneyh3701 and callh5749b in witnessesh5707"--although the cityh5892b is givenh5414 into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778.' "

26

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414, sayingh559,

27

"Beholdh2009, I am the LORDh3068, the  aGodh430 of allh3605 fleshh1320; is anythingh3605h1697  btooh4480 difficulth6381 for Me?"

28

Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Beholdh2009, I am about to  agiveh5414 thish384 cityh5892b into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778 and into the handh3027 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894, and he will takeh3920 it.

29

"The Chaldeansh3778 who are fightingh3898a againsth5921 thish384 cityh5892b will enterh935 and  aseth3341 thish384 cityh5892b on fireh784 and burnh8313 it, with the  bhousesh1004 whereh834 people have offeredh6999 incenseh6999 to Baalh1168a on their roofsh1406 and pouredh5258a out drinkh5262a offeringsh5262a to otherh312 godsh430 to provokeh3707 Me to angerh3707.

30

"Indeedh3588 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 and the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063 have been doingh6213a onlyh389  aevilh7451a in My sighth5869 from their youthh5272a; for the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 have been onlyh389  bprovokingh3707 Me to angerh3707 by the workh4639 of their handsh3027," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

31

"Indeedh3588 thish384 cityh5892b has beenh1961 to Me a  aprovocation of My angerh639 and My wrathh2534 from the dayh3117 that they builth1129 it, even to thish2088 dayh3117, so that it should be  bremovedh5493 from beforeh5921 My faceh6440,

32

becauseh5921 of allh3605 the evilh7463a of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 and the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063 whichh834 they have doneh6213a to provokeh3707 Me to angerh3707--they, their  akingsh4428, their leadersh8269, their priestsh3548, their prophetsh5030, the menh376 of Judahh3063 and the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389.

33

"They have turnedh6437 their backh6203 to Me and not their faceh6440; though I taughth3925 them,  1 ateachingh3925 againh7925 and againh3925, they would not listenh8085  2and receiveh3947 instructionh4148.

34

"But they  aputh7760 their detestableh8251 thingsh8251 in the househ1004 whichh834 is calledh7121 by My nameh8034, to defileh2930 it.

35

"They builth1129 the  ahighh1116 placesh1116 of Baalh1168a that are in the valleyh1516 of Ben-hinnomh1121h2011 to cause their sonsh1121 and their daughtersh1323 to passh5674a throughh5674a the fire to  bMolechh4432, whichh834 I had not commandedh6680 them norh3808 had it  1enteredh5927 My mindh3820 that they should doh6213a thish384 abominationh8441, to cause Judahh3063 to sinh2398.

36

"Nowh6258 thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 concerningh413 thish384 cityh5892b of whichh834 you sayh559, `It is  agivenh5414 into the handh3027 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 by swordh2719, by famineh7458 and by pestilenceh1698.'

37

"Beholdh2009, I will  agatherh6908 them out of allh3605 the landsh776 to whichh834 I have drivenh5080 them in My angerh639, in My wrathh2534 and in greath1419 indignationh7110a; and I will bringh7725 them backh7725 to thish2088 placeh4725 and  bmake them dwellh3427 in safetyh983.

38

"They shall be  aMy peopleh5971a, and I will be their Godh430;

39

and I will  agiveh5414 them oneh259 hearth3820 and oneh259 wayh1870, that they may fearh3372a Me alwaysh3605h3117, for their own  bgoodh2896b and for the good of their childrenh1121 afterh310 them.

40

"I will makeh3772 an  aeverlastingh5769 covenanth1285 with them that I will  bnot turnh7725 awayh7725 from them, to doh3190 them goodh3190; and I will  cputh5414 the fearh3374 of Me in their heartsh3824 so that they will not turnh5493 awayh5493 from Me.

41

"I will  arejoiceh7797 overh5921 them to doh3190 them goodh3190 and will  1faithfullyh571  bplanth5193 them in thish384 landh776 with  callh3605 My hearth3820 and with allh3605 My soulh5315.

42

"For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, ` aJusth3512c as I broughth935 allh3605 thish384 greath1419 disasterh7463a on thish2088 peopleh5971a, soh3651 I am going to  bbringh935 on them allh3605 the goodh2899b that I am promisingh1696 them.

43

aFieldsh7704 will be boughth7069 in thish384 landh776 of whichh834 you sayh559, " bIt is a desolationh8077, withouth369 manh120 or beasth929; it is givenh5414 into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778."

44

`Men will buyh7069 fieldsh7704 for moneyh3701,  1 asignh3789 and sealh2856 deedsh5612, and callh5749b in witnessesh5707 in the  blandh776 of Benjaminh1144, in the environsh5439 of Jerusalemh3389, in the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063, in the citiesh5892b of the hillh2022 countryh2022, in the citiesh5892b of the lowlandh8219 and in the citiesh5892b of the  2Negevh5045; for I will  crestoreh7725 their  3fortunesh7622,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068."
