Jeremiah 38:1 (MKJV) Modern King James Version

1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying,
2 So says Jehovah, He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague. But he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life as a prize, and shall live.
3 So says Jehovah: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he shall capture it.
4 And the rulers said to the king, Please let this man be put to death. For in this way he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the good of this people, but the hurt.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand. For the king cannot do a thing against you.
6 And they took Jeremiah and threw him into the pit of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, which was in the court of the prison. And they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And there was no water in the pit, only mud. So Jeremiah sank into the mud.
7 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, of the eunuchs in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the pit (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
8 Ebed-melech went out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have thrown into the pit. And he is likely to die of hunger in the place where he is, for there is no more bread in the city.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take in your hand thirty men with you from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet up out of the pit before he dies.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men in his hand and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took worn out clothes and worn out rags from there, and let them down by ropes into the pit to Jeremiah.
12 And Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Now put the worn out clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes. And Jeremiah did so.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with ropes and took him up out of the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14 And Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him, into the third gate in the house of Jehovah. And the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a thing. Do not hide anything from me.
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.
16 Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, So says Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you will surely go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire. And you shall live, and your house.
18 But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then this city shall be given into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.
19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and lest they hurt me.
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. I beg you, obey the voice of Jehovah which I speak to you; so it shall be well to you, and your soul shall live.
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the Word that Jehovah has shown to me:
22 And, behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought out to the king of Babylon's rulers, and they shall say, Your friends have urged you on, and have prevailed against you. Your feet have sunk in the mire, and they have turned away.
23 So they shall bring out all your wives and your sons to the Chaldeans. And you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.
25 But if the rulers hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you;
26 then you shall say to them, I presented my cry before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
27 Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they quit speaking with him; for the matter was not known.
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.
1 Then Shephatiah H8203 the son H1121 CMS of Mattan H4977 , and Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 CMS of Pashur H6583 , and Jucal H3116 the son H1121 CMS of Shelemiah H8018 , and Pashur H6583 the son H1121 CMS of Malchiah H4441 , heard H8085 the words H1697 AMP that H834 RPRO Jeremiah H3414 had spoken H1696 VPPMS unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , He that remaineth H3427 D-VQPMS in this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 BD-NFS shall die H4191 VQY3MS by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 : but he that goeth forth H3318 to H413 PREP the Chaldeans H3778 shall live H2421 ; for he shall have H1961 W-VQQ3FS his life H5315 NMS-3MS for a prey H7998 , and shall live H2425 .
3 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , This H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS shall surely be given H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS \'s army H2428 , which shall take H3920 it .
4 Therefore the princes H8269 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , We beseech thee H4994 IJEC , let this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS be put to death H4191 : for H3588 CONJ thus H5921 PREP he H1931 PPRO-3MS weakeneth H7503 the hands H3027 CFD of the men H376 D-NMS of war H4421 that remain H7604 in this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 BD-NFS , and the hands H3027 CFD of all H3605 CMS the people H5971 , in speaking H1696 such H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 unto H413 PREP them : for H3588 CONJ this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS seeketh H1875 not H369 the welfare H7965 of this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , but H518 PART the hurt H7451 .
5 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is in your hand H3027 B-CFS-2MP : for H3588 CONJ the king H4428 D-NMS is not H369 NPAR he that can do H3201 VQY3MS any thing H1697 against you .
6 Then took H3947 W-VQY3MP they Jeremiah H3414 , and cast H7993 him into H413 PREP the dungeon H953 of Malchiah H4441 the son H1121 CMS of Hammelech H4429 , that H834 RPRO was in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 : and they let down H7971 Jeremiah H3414 with cords H2256 . And in the dungeon H953 there was no H369 ADV water H4325 OMD , but H518 PART mire H2916 : so Jeremiah H3414 sunk H2883 in the mire H2916 .
7 Now when Ebed H5663 - melech the Ethiopian H3569 , one H376 NMS of the eunuchs H5631 which H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was in the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 B-CMS , heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ they had put H5414 Jeremiah H3414 in H413 PREP the dungeon H953 ; the king H4428 then sitting H3427 VQPMS in the gate H8179 of Benjamin H1144 ;
8 Ebed H5663 - melech went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS out of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 , and spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
9 My lord H113 the king H4428 D-NMS , these H428 D-DPRO-3MP men H376 D-NMP have done evil H7489 in all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO they have done H6213 VQQ3MP to Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , whom H834 RPRO they have cast H7993 into H413 PREP the dungeon H953 ; and he is like to die H4191 W-VQY3MS for M-CMP hunger H7458 in the place where H8478 PREP-3MS he is : for H3588 CONJ there is no H369 NPAR more H5750 ADV bread H3899 in the city H5892 B-NMS .
10 Then the king H4428 D-NMS commanded H6680 Ebed H5663 - melech the Ethiopian H3569 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Take H3947 VQI2MS from hence H2088 M-DPRO thirty H7970 MMP men H376 NMP with H3027 B-CFS-2MS thee , and take up H5927 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 out of H4480 PREP the dungeon H953 , before H2962 B-ADV he die H4191 .
11 So Ebed H5663 - melech took H3947 W-VQY3MS the men H376 D-NMP with H3027 B-CFS-3MS him , and went into H935 W-VQY3MS the house H1004 CMS of the king H4428 D-NMS under H413 PREP the treasury H214 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV old H1094 cast clouts H5499 and old H1094 rotten rags H4418 , and let them down H7971 by cords H2256 into H413 PREP the dungeon H953 to H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 .
12 And Ebed H5663 - melech the Ethiopian H3569 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , Put H7760 VQFC now H4994 IJEC these old H1094 cast clouts H5499 and rotten rags H4418 under H8478 NMS thine armholes H679 under H8478 NMS the cords H2256 . And Jeremiah H3414 did H6213 W-VQY3MS so H3651 ADV .
13 So they drew up H4900 Jeremiah H3414 with cords H2256 , and took him up H5927 out of H4480 PREP the dungeon H953 : and Jeremiah H3414 remained H3427 W-VQY3MS in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 .
14 Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 unto H413 PREP-3MS him into H413 PREP the third H7992 D-ONUM entry H3996 that H834 RPRO is in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS : and the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , I H589 PPRO-1MS will ask H7592 thee a thing H1697 VQPMS ; hide H3582 nothing H408 NPAR from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me .
15 Then Jeremiah H3414 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Zedekiah H6667 , If H3588 CONJ I declare H5046 VHY3MS it unto thee , wilt thou not H3808 ADV surely put me to death H4191 ? and if H3588 CONJ I give thee counsel H3289 , wilt thou not H3808 NADV hearken H8085 unto H413 PREP me ?
16 So Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS swore H7650 secretly H5643 BD-NMS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 L-VQFC , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , that H834 RPRO made H6213 VQQ3MS us this H2063 D-DFS soul H5315 D-NFS , I will not H518 PART put thee to death H4191 , neither H518 PART will I give H5414 thee into the hand H3027 B-CFS of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP men H376 D-NMP that H834 RPRO seek H1245 thy life H5315 .
17 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Jeremiah H3414 unto H413 PREP Zedekiah H6667 , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , the God H430 CDP of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 ; If H518 PART thou wilt assuredly go forth unto H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS \'s princes H8269 CMP , then thy soul H5315 shall live H2421 W-VQQ3FS , and this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 shall not H3808 NADV be burned H8313 with fire H784 ; and thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt live H2421 , and thine house H1004 :
18 But if H518 W-PART thou wilt not H3808 ADV go forth H3318 to H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS \'s princes H8269 CMP , then shall this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS be given H5414 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the Chaldeans H3778 , and they shall burn H8313 it with fire H784 , and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt not H3808 ADV escape H4422 out of their hand H3027 .
19 And Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , I H589 PPRO-1MS am afraid of the Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO are fallen H5307 to H413 PREP the Chaldeans H3778 , lest H6435 they deliver H5414 me into their hand H3027 , and they mock H5953 me .
20 But Jeremiah H3414 said H559 W-VQY3MS , They shall not H3808 NADV deliver H5414 thee . Obey H8085 VQI2MS , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 L-RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS speak H1696 VQPMS unto H413 PREP-2MS thee : so it shall be well H3190 unto thee , and thy soul H5315 shall live H2421 .
21 But if H518 W-PART thou H859 PPRO-2MS refuse H3986 to go forth H3318 , this H2088 DPRO is the word H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS hath showed H7200 me :
22 And , behold H2009 IJEC , all H3605 CMS the women H802 D-NFP that H834 RPRO are left H7604 in the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 \'s house H1004 B-CMS shall be brought forth H3318 to H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS \'s princes H8269 CMP , and those H2007 women shall say H559 , Thy friends H7965 have set H5496 thee on , and have prevailed H3201 against thee : thy feet H7272 are sunk H2883 in the mire H1206 , and they are turned away H5472 back H268 .
23 So they shall bring out H3318 all H3605 NMS thy wives H802 and thy children H1121 CMP-2MS to H413 PREP the Chaldeans H3778 : and thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS shalt not H3808 NADV escape H4422 out of their hand H3027 , but H3588 CONJ shalt be taken H8610 by the hand H3027 of the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS : and thou shalt cause this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS to be burned H8313 with fire H784 .
24 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Zedekiah H6667 unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , Let no H408 NPAR man H376 NMS know H3045 of these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 , and thou shalt not H3808 W-NPAR die H4191 .
25 But if H3588 CONJ the princes H8269 hear H8085 VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ I have talked H1696 with H854 PART-2MS thee , and they come H935 unto H413 PREP thee , and say H559 unto H413 PREP thee , Declare H5046 unto us now H4994 IJEC what H4100 IPRO thou hast said H1696 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , hide H3582 it not H408 NPAR from H4480 M-PREP-3MS us , and we will not H3808 W-NPAR put thee to death H4191 ; also what H4100 IPRO the king H4428 said H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 PREP thee :
26 Then thou shalt say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , I H589 PPRO-1MS presented H5307 my supplication H8467 before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 D-NMS , that he would not H1115 L-NPAR cause me to return H7725 VHI2MS to Jonathan H3129 \'s house H1004 CMS , to die H4191 L-VQFC there H8033 ADV .
27 Then came H935 W-VQY3MP all H3605 CMS the princes H8269 unto H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 , and asked H7592 him : and he told H5046 W-VHY3MS them according to all H3605 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP that H834 RPRO the king H4428 D-NMS had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS . So they left off speaking H2790 with H4480 M-PREP-3MS him ; for H3588 CONJ the matter H1697 was not H3808 ADV perceived H8085 VQY1MP .
28 So Jeremiah H3414 abode H3427 W-VQY3MS in the court H2691 of the prison H4307 until H5704 PREP the day H3117 NMS that H834 RPRO Jerusalem H3389 was taken H3920 : and he was H1961 W-VQQ3MS there when H834 RPRO Jerusalem H3389 was taken H3920 .
