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 .
