1

Then allh3605 the  1commandersh8269 of the forcesh2428,  aJohananh3076 the sonh1121 of Kareahh7143, Jezaniahh3153 the sonh1121 of Hoshaiahh1955, and allh3605 the peopleh5971a  bbothh4480 smallh6996b and greath1419 approachedh5066

2

and saidh559 to Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030, "Pleaseh4994 let our  apetitionh8467  1comeh5307 beforeh6440 you, and  bprayh6419 for us to the LORDh3068 your Godh430, that is for allh3605 thish384 remnanth7611; becauseh3588 we are lefth7604 but a  cfewh4592 out of manyh7235a, as your own eyesh5869 now seeh7200 us,

3

that the LORDh3068 your Godh430 may tellh5046 us the  awayh1870 in whichh834 we should walkh1980 and the thingh1697 that we should doh6213a."

4

Then Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 saidh559 to them, "I have heardh8085 you. Beholdh2009, I am going to  aprayh6419 to the LORDh3068 your Godh430 in accordance with your wordsh1697; and I will tellh5046 you the wholeh3605  1messageh1697 whichh834 the  bLORDh3068 will answerh6030a you. I will  cnot keeph4513 backh4513 a wordh1697 from you."

5

Then they saidh559 to Jeremiahh3414, "May the  aLORDh3068 be a trueh571 and faithfulh539 witnessh5707 against us ifh518 we do not acth6213a in accordance with the wholeh3605  1messageh1697 with whichh834 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will sendh7971 you to us.

6

"Whetherh518 it is  1pleasanth2896b orh518  2unpleasanth7451b, we will  alistenh8085 to the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430 to whomh834 we are sendingh7971 you, soh4616 that it may goh3190  bwellh3190 with us whenh3588 we listenh8085 to the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430."

7

Now at the  aendh7093 of tenh6235 daysh3117 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414.

8

Then he calledh7121 for Johananh3076 the sonh1121 of Kareahh7143 and allh3605 the  1commandersh8269 of the forcesh2428 that were with him, and for allh3605 the peopleh5971a bothh4480 smallh6996b and greath1419,

9

and saidh559 to them, "Thush3541  asaysh559 the LORDh3068 the Godh430 of Israelh3478, to whomh834 you senth7971 me to presenth5307 your petitionh8467 beforeh6440 Him:

10

`Ifh518 you will indeedh7725 stayh3427 in thish384 landh776, then I will  abuildh1129 you up and not tearh2040 you downh2040, and I will planth5193 you and not uprooth5428 you; for I  1will  brelenth5162 concerningh413 the calamityh7463a that I have inflictedh6213a on you.

11

aDo not be afraidh3372a of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, whomh834 you are now fearingh3372a; do not be afraidh3372a of him,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `for  bI am with you to saveh3467 you and deliverh5337 you from his handh3027.

12

`I will also showh5414 you compassionh7356, so that  ahe will haveh7355 compassionh7355 on you and restoreh7725 you to your own soilh127.

13

`But ifh518 you are going to sayh559, "We will  anot stayh3427 in thish384 landh776," so as not to listenh8085 to the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430,

14

sayingh559, "Noh3808, but we will  agoh935 to the landh776 of Egypth4714, whereh834 we will not seeh7200 warh4421 or  bhearh8085 the soundh6963 of a trumpeth7782 or hungerh7456 for breadh3899, and we will stayh3427 thereh8033";

15

then  1in that caseh3651 listenh8085 to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, O remnanth7611 of Judahh3063. Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Ifh518 you reallyh7760 seth7760 your  2mindh6440 to enterh935  aEgypth4714 and goh935 in to resideh1481a thereh8033,

16

then the  aswordh2719, whichh834 you are afraidh3372a of, will overtakeh5381 you thereh8033 in the landh776 of Egypth4714; and the famineh7458, about whichh834 you are anxioush1672, will followh1692 closelyh1692 afterh310 you thereh8033 in Egypth4714, and you will dieh4191 thereh8033.

17

"So allh3605 the menh376 whoh834 seth7760 their  1mindh6440 to goh935 to Egypth4714 to resideh1481a thereh8033 will dieh4191 by the  aswordh2719, by famineh7458 and by pestilenceh1698; and they will  bhaveh1961 noh3808 survivorsh8300 or refugeesh6412a from the calamityh7463a that I am going to bringh935 on them.""'

18

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "As My  aangerh639 and wrathh2534 have been pouredh5413 out on the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389, soh3651 My wrathh2534 will be pouredh5413 out on you when you enterh935 Egypth4714. And you will becomeh1961 a  bcurseh7045, an objecth8047 of horrorh8047, an imprecationh7045 and a reproachh2781; and  cyou will seeh7200 thish2088 placeh4725 noh3808 moreh5750."

19

The LORDh3068 has spokenh1696 to you, O remnanth7611 of Judahh3063, "Do not  agoh935 into Egypth4714!" You should clearlyh3045  bunderstandh3045 that todayh3117 I have  ctestifiedh5749b against you.

20

For you have only  1 adeceivedh8582 yourselvesh5315; for it is you who senth7971 me to the LORDh3068 your Godh430, sayingh559, "Prayh6419 for us to the LORDh3068 our Godh430; and whateverh3605h834 the LORDh3068 our Godh430 saysh559, tellh5046 us soh3651, and we will doh6213a it."

21

So I have  atoldh5046 you todayh3117, but you have  bnot  1obeyedh8085h6963 the LORDh3068 your Godh430, even in whateverh3605h834 He has senth7971 me to tell you.

22

Therefore you should nowh6258 clearlyh3045 understandh3045 that you will  adieh4191 by the swordh2719, by famineh7458 and by pestilenceh1698, in the  bplaceh4725 whereh834h8033 you wishh2654a to goh935 to resideh1481a.
