1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
|
1. In the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah H3063 came H1961 this H2088 word H1697 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. `Thus said Jehovah unto me, Make to thee bands and yokes,
|
2. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 to H413 me; Make H6213 thee bonds H4147 and yokes H4133 , and put H5414 them upon H5921 thy neck H6677 ,
|
|
3. And thou hast put them on thy neck, and hast sent them unto the king of Edom, and unto the king of Moab, and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre, and unto the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming in to Jerusalem, unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
|
3. And send H7971 them to H413 the king H4428 of Edom H123 , and to H413 the king H4428 of Moab H4124 , and to H413 the king H4428 of the Ammonites H1121 H5983 , and to H413 the king H4428 of Tyrus H6865 , and to the king H4428 of Zidon H6721 , by the hand H3027 of the messengers H4397 which come H935 to Jerusalem H3389 unto H413 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 ;
|
|
4. And thou hast commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel,
|
4. And command H6680 them to say H559 unto H413 their masters H113 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 unto H413 your masters H113 ;
|
|
5. Thus do ye say unto your lords, I -- I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that are on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it hath been right in Mine eyes.
|
5. I H595 have made H6213 H853 the earth H776 , H853 the man H120 and the beast H929 that H834 are upon H5921 H6440 the ground H776 , by my great H1419 power H3581 and by my outstretched H5186 arm H2220 , and have given H5414 it unto whom H834 it seemed H5869 meet H3474 unto me.
|
|
6. `And now, I -- I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given to him to serve him;
|
6. And now H6258 have I H595 given H5414 H853 all H3605 these H428 lands H776 into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , my servant H5650 ; and H853 the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 have I given H5414 him also H1571 to serve H5647 him.
|
|
7. And served him have all the nations, and his son, and his son`s son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and done service for him have many nations and great kings.
|
7. And all H3605 nations H1471 shall serve H5647 him , and his son H1121 , and his son H1121 's son H1121 , until H5704 the very time H6256 of his land H776 come H935 : and then H1571 many H7227 nations H1471 and great H1419 kings H4428 shall serve H5647 themselves of him H1931 .
|
|
8. And it hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that do not serve him -- Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon -- and that which putteth not its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- till I consume them by his hand.
|
8. And it shall come to pass H1961 , that the nation H1471 and kingdom H4467 which H834 will not H3808 serve H5647 the same H853 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and that H834 will not H3808 put H5414 H853 their neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , that H1931 nation H1471 will I punish H6485 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , with the sword H2719 , and with the famine H7458 , and with the pestilence H1698 , until H5704 I have consumed H8552 them by his hand H3027 .
|
|
9. `And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, --
|
9. Therefore hearken H8085 not H408 ye H859 to H413 your prophets H5030 , nor to H413 your diviners H7080 , nor to H413 your dreamers H2472 , nor to H413 your enchanters H6049 , nor to H413 your sorcerers H3786 , which H834 H1992 speak H559 unto H413 you, saying H559 , Ye shall not H3808 serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 :
|
|
10. For falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye have perished.
|
10. For H3588 they H1992 prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you, to H4616 remove you far H7368 H853 from H4480 H5921 your land H127 ; and that I should drive you out H5080 H853 , and ye should perish H6 .
|
|
11. And the nation that causeth its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him -- I have left it on its ground -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and it hath tilled it, and dwelt in it.`
|
11. But the nations H1471 that H834 bring H935 H853 their neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and serve H5647 him , those will I let remain H5117 still in H5921 their own land H127 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and they shall till H5647 it , and dwell H3427 therein.
|
|
12. And unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken according to all these words, saying, `Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
|
12. I spoke H1696 also to H413 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 according to all H3605 these H428 words H1697 , saying H559 , Bring H935 H853 your necks H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and serve H5647 him and his people H5971 , and live H2421 .
|
|
13. Why do ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that doth not serve the king of Babylon?
|
13. Why H4100 will ye die H4191 , thou H859 and thy people H5971 , by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 , as H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 against H413 the nation H1471 that H834 will not H3808 serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 ?
|
|
14. `And ye do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, -- for falsehood they are prophesying to you.
|
14. Therefore hearken H8085 not H408 unto H413 the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 that speak H559 unto H413 you, saying H559 , Ye shall not H3808 serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 : for H3588 they H1992 prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you.
|
|
15. For I have not sent them -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and they are prophesying in My name falsely, so as to drive you out, and ye have perished, ye, and the prophets who are prophesying to you.`
|
15. For H3588 I have not H3808 sent H7971 them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , yet they H1992 prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 in my name H8034 ; that H4616 I might drive you out H5080 H853 , and that ye might perish H6 , ye H859 , and the prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 unto you.
|
|
16. And unto the priests, and unto all this people, I have spoken, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not hearken unto the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Lo, the vessels of the house of Jehovah are brought back from Babylon now in haste, for falsehood they are prophesying to you.
|
16. Also I spoke H1696 to H413 the priests H3548 and to H413 all H3605 this H2088 people H5971 , saying H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Hearken H8085 not H408 to H413 the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 unto you, saying H559 , Behold H2009 , the vessels H3627 of the LORD H3068 's house H1004 shall now H6258 shortly H4120 be brought again H7725 from Babylon H4480 H894 : for H3588 they H1992 prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you.
|
|
17. Ye do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why is this city a waste?
|
17. Hearken H8085 not H408 unto H413 them; serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , and live H2421 : wherefore H4100 should this H2063 city H5892 be H1961 laid waste H2723 ?
|
|
18. `And, if they be prophets, and if a word of Jehovah be with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
|
18. But if H518 they H1992 be prophets H5030 , and if H518 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 be H3426 with H854 them , let them now H4994 make intercession H6293 to the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , that the vessels H3627 which are left H3498 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and in the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah H3063 , and at Jerusalem H3389 , go H935 not H1115 to Babylon H894 .
|
|
19. For thus said Jehovah of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
|
19. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 concerning H413 the pillars H5982 , and concerning H5921 the sea H3220 , and concerning H5921 the bases H4350 , and concerning H5921 the residue H3499 of the vessels H3627 that remain H3498 in this H2063 city H5892 ,
|
|
20. That Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the freemen of Judah and Jerusalem,
|
20. Which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 took H3947 not H3808 , when he carried away captive H1540 H853 Jeconiah H3204 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 to Babylon H894 , and all H3605 the nobles H2715 of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389 ;
|
|
21. Surely thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
|
21. Yea H3588 , thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , concerning H5921 the vessels H3627 that remain H3498 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and in the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah H3063 and of Jerusalem H3389 ;
|
|
22. To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the day of My inspecting them -- an affirmation of Jehovah; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this place.`
|
22. They shall be carried H935 to Babylon H894 , and there H8033 shall they be H1961 until H5704 the day H3117 that I visit H6485 them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; then will I bring them up H5927 , and restore H7725 them to H413 this H2008 place H4725 .
