Jeremiah 29:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 NOW THESE are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders in exile and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.
2 This was after King Jeconiah also called Coniah and Jehoiachin and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.
3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said:
4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captives whom I have caused to be carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Build yourselves houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat the fruit of them.
6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not be diminished.
7 And seek (inquire for, require, and request) the peace and welfare of the city to which I have caused you to be carried away captive; and pray to the Lord for it, for in the welfare of the city in which you live you will have welfare.
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your false prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you; pay no attention and attach no significance to your dreams which you dream or to theirs,
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name. I have not sent them, says the Lord.
10 For thus says the Lord, When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you and keep My good promise to you, causing you to return to this place.
11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
12 Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.
13 Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me as a vital necessity and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Deut. 4:29-30.
14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 But as for those still in Jerusalem because you have said, The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,
16 Thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits upon the throne of David and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brethren who did not go forth with you into captivity--
17 Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I am sending on them the sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like vile figs which are so bad they cannot be eaten.
18 And I will pursue them with the sword, famine, and pestilence and will give them up to be tossed to and fro and to be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, an astonishment, and a terror, a hissing and a reproach among all the nations to which I have driven them,
19 Because they have not listened to and heeded My words, says the Lord, which I sent to them persistently by My servants the prophets; but you exiles would not listen either, says the Lord. Ezek. 2:5, 7.
20 Hear therefore the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he will slay them those false prophets whom you say I have raised up for you in Babylon before your eyes! Jer. 29:15.
22 And because of them, this curse shall be taken up and used by all from Judah who are in captivity in Babylon: The Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire--
23 Because they have committed folly in Israel and have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives and have spoken words in My name falsely, which I had not commanded them. I am the One Who knows and I am witness, says the Lord.
24 Also you shall say this concerning and to Shemaiah of Nehelam among the exiles in Babylon:
25 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest and to all the priests, saying,
26 The Lord has made you Zephaniah priest instead of Jehoiada the deputy priest, that you should have oversight in the house of the Lord over every madman who makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and collar.
27 Now therefore continued the letter from Shemaiah in Babylon to Zephaniah in Jerusalem, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you?
28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity of yours is to be long; build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat the fruit of them.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah:
31 Send this message to all those in captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and has caused you to trust in a lie,
32 Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will punish Shemaiah of Nehelam and his offspring. He will not have anyone born to dwell among this people, nor will he see the good that I will do to My people, says the Lord, because he has spoken and taught rebellion against the Lord.

2 (After that H310 PREP Jeconiah H3204 the king H4428 D-NMS , and the queen H1377 , and the eunuchs H5631 , the princes H8269 CMP of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 , and the carpenters H2796 , and the smiths H4525 , were departed H3318 from Jerusalem H3389 ; )
3 By the hand H3027 B-CFS of Elasah H501 the son H1121 CMS of Shaphan H8227 , and Gemariah H1587 the son H1121 CMS of Hilkiah H2518 , ( RPRO whom H834 RPRO Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 sent H7971 VQQ3MS unto Babylon H894 LFS to H413 PREP Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 ) saying H559 L-VQFC ,
4 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , unto all H3605 L-CMS that are carried away captives H1473 , whom H834 RPRO I have caused to be carried away H1540 from Jerusalem H3389 unto Babylon H894 ;
5 Build H1129 ye houses H1004 , and dwell H3427 in them ; and plant H5193 gardens H1593 , and eat H398 the fruit H6529 of them ;
6 Take H3947 ye wives H802 GFP , and beget H3205 sons H1121 NMP and daughters H1323 W-CFP ; and take H3947 wives H802 GFP for your sons H1121 , and give H5414 your daughters H1323 to husbands H376 , that they may bear H3205 sons H1121 NMP and daughters H1323 W-CFP ; that ye may be increased H7235 W-VQI2MP there H8033 ADV , and not H408 W-NPAR diminished H4591 .
7 And seek H1875 the peace H7965 of the city H5892 D-GFS whither H834 RPRO I have caused you to be carried away captives H1540 , and pray H6419 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS for H1157 it : for H3588 CONJ in the peace H7965 thereof shall ye have H1961 VQY3MS peace H7965 .
8 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; Let not H408 NPAR your prophets H5030 and your diviners H7080 , that H834 RPRO be in the midst H7130 of you , deceive H5377 you , neither H408 ADV hearken H8085 to H413 PREP your dreams H2472 which H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS cause to be dreamed H2492 .
9 For H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP prophesy H5012 falsely H8267 unto you in my name H8034 : I have not H3808 NADV sent H7971 them , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
10 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , That H3588 CONJ after H6310 L-CMS seventy H7657 ONUM years H8141 NFS be accomplished H4390 at Babylon H894 I will visit H6485 you , and perform H6965 W-VHQ1MS my good H2896 D-NMS word H1697 toward H5921 PREP-2MP you , in causing you to return H7725 L-VHFC to H413 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS .
11 For H3588 CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQY1MS the thoughts H4284 that H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS think H2803 toward H5921 PREP-2MP you , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , thoughts H4284 CFP of peace H7965 NMS , and not H3808 W-NPAR of evil H7451 , to give H5414 L-VQFC you an expected H8615 end H319 CFS .
12 Then shall ye call upon H7121 me , and ye shall go H1980 and pray H6419 unto H413 me , and I will hearken H8085 unto H413 you .
13 And ye shall seek H1245 me , and find H4672 me , when H3588 CONJ ye shall search for H1875 me with all H3605 B-CMS your heart H3824 .
14 And I will be found H4672 of you , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS : and I will turn away H7725 your captivity H7622 , and I will gather H6908 you from all H3605 M-CMS the nations H1471 D-NMP , and from all H3605 WM-CMS the places H4725 whither H834 RPRO I have driven H5080 you , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS ; and I will bring you again H7725 into H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS whence H834 RPRO I caused you to be carried away captive H1540 .
15 Because H3588 CONJ ye have said H559 , The LORD H3068 EDS hath raised us up H6965 prophets H5030 in Babylon H894 ;
16 Know that H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS that sitteth H3427 upon H413 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 , and of H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that dwelleth H3427 in this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 BD-NFS , and of your brethren H251 that H834 RPRO are not H3808 ADV gone forth H3318 VQQ3MP with H854 PART-2MP you into captivity H1473 ;
17 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; Behold H2009 , I will send H7971 upon them the sword H2719 D-GFS , the famine H7458 D-NMS , and the pestilence H1698 , and will make H5414 them like vile H8182 figs H8384 , that H834 RPRO cannot H3808 NADV be eaten H398 , they are so evil H7455 .
18 And I will persecute H7291 them with the sword H2719 , with the famine H7458 , and with the pestilence H1698 , and will deliver H5414 them to be removed H2189 to all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 D-GFS , to be a curse H423 , and an astonishment H8047 , and a hissing H8322 , and a reproach H2781 , among all H3605 B-CMS the nations H1471 D-NMP whither H834 RPRO I have driven H5080 them :
19 Because H8478 NMS they have not H3808 NADV hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP to H413 PREP my words H1697 CMP-1MS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO I sent H7971 unto H413 PREP them by my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 , rising up early H7925 and sending H7971 them ; but ye would not H3808 W-NADV hear H8085 VQQ3MP , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
20 Hear H8085 VQI2MP ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP therefore the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , all H3605 NMS ye of the captivity H1473 , whom H834 RPRO I have sent H7971 from Jerusalem H3389 to Babylon H894 :
21 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , of H413 PREP Ahab H256 the son H1121 CMS of Kolaiah H6964 , and of H413 PREP Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 CMS of Maaseiah H4641 , which prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 NMS unto you in my name H8034 ; Behold H2009 , I will deliver H5414 UNKN them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS ; and he shall slay H5221 them before your eyes H5869 ;
22 And of H4480 them shall be taken up H3947 a curse H7045 by all H3605 the captivity H1546 of Judah H3063 which H834 RPRO are in Babylon H894 , saying H559 L-VQFC , The LORD H3068 EDS make H7760 thee like Zedekiah H6667 and like Ahab H256 , whom H834 RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS roasted H7033 in the fire H784 ;
23 Because H3282 ADV they have committed H6213 VQQ3MP villainy H5039 NFS in Israel H3478 , and have committed adultery H5003 with H854 PREP their neighbors H7453 \' wives H802 GFP , and have spoken H1696 W-VPY3MP lying H8267 NMS words H1697 NMS in my name H8034 , which H834 RPRO I have not H3808 commanded H6680 them ; even I H595 W-PPRO-1MS know H3045 , and am a witness H5707 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
24 Thus shalt thou also speak H559 to H413 W-PREP Shemaiah H8098 the Nehelamite H5161 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
25 Thus H3541 speaketh H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Because H3282 ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS hast sent H7971 letters H5612 in thy name H8034 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO are at Jerusalem H3389 , and to H413 PREP Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 CMS of Maaseiah H4641 the priest H3548 , and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the priests H3548 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
26 The LORD H3068 EDS hath made H5414 thee priest H3548 NMS in the stead of H8478 NMS Jehoiada H3077 the priest H3548 , that ye should be H1961 L-VQFC officers H6496 in the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , for every H3605 L-CMS man H376 NMS that is mad H7696 , and maketh himself a prophet H5012 , that thou shouldest put H5414 him in H413 PREP prison H4115 , and in H413 PREP the stocks H6729 .
27 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore why H4100 L-IPRO hast thou not H3808 NADV reproved H1605 Jeremiah H3414 of Anathoth H6069 , which maketh himself a prophet H5012 to you ?
28 For H3588 CONJ therefore H3651 ADV he sent H7971 VQQ3MS unto H413 us in Babylon H894 LFS , saying H559 L-VQFC , This H1931 PPRO-3FS captivity is long H752 AFS : build H1129 ye houses H1004 , and dwell H3427 in them ; and plant H5193 gardens H1593 , and eat H398 the fruit H6529 of them .
29 And Zephaniah H6846 the priest H3548 read H7121 W-VQY3MS this H2088 D-PMS letter H5612 in the ears H241 of Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 .
30 Then came H1961 W-VPY3MS the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
31 Send H7971 to H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS them of the captivity H1473 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS concerning H413 PREP Shemaiah H8098 the Nehelamite H5161 ; Because H3283 that Shemaiah H8098 hath prophesied H5012 unto you , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS sent H7971 him not H3808 NADV , and he caused you to trust H982 in H5921 PREP a lie H8267 :
32 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Behold H2009 , I will punish H6485 Shemaiah H8098 the Nehelamite H5161 , and his seed H2233 NMS-3MS : he shall not H3808 NADV have H1961 VQY3MS a man H376 NMS to dwell H3427 VQPMS among H8432 B-NMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 ; neither H3808 ADV shall he behold H7200 VQY3MS the good H2896 BD-NMS that H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS will do H6213 for my people H5971 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS ; because H3588 CONJ he hath taught H1696 rebellion H5627 against H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
