H1697
Now these are the words
H5612
of the letter
H3414
that Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet
H7971
sent
H3389
from Jerusalem
H3499
to the residue
H2205
of the elders
H1473
of the captivity,
H3548
and to the priests,
H5030
to the prophets,
H5971
and to all the people,
H5019
whom Nebuchadnezzar
H1540
had carried away captive
H3389
from Jerusalem
H894
to Babylon,
2
H310
(after
H3204
that Jeconiah
H4428
the king,
H1377
the queen
H5631
mother, the eunuchs,
H8269
the princes
H3063
of Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem,
H2796
the craftsmen,
H4525
and the smiths,
H3318
had departed
H3389
from Jerusalem),
3
H3027
by the hand
H501
of Elasah
H1121
the son
H8227
of Shaphan,
H1587
and Gemariah
H1121
the son
H2518
of Hilkiah,
H6667
(whom Zedekiah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H7971
sent
H894
to Babylon
H5019
to Nebuchadnezzar
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon),
H559
saying,
4
H559
Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H1540
to all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away
H1473
captive
H3389
from Jerusalem
H894
to Babylon:
5
H1129
Build
H1004
houses,
H3427
and dwell
H5193
in them; and plant
H1593
gardens,
H398
and eat
H6529
their fruit.
6
H3947
Take
H802
wives,
H3205
and father
H1121
sons
H1323
and daughters;
H3947
and take
H802
wives
H1121
for your sons,
H5414
and give
H1323
your daughters
H582
to husbands,
H3205
that they may bear
H1121
sons
H1121
and daughters;
H7235
and multiply
H4591
there, and don't be diminished.
7
H1875
Seek
H7965
the peace
H5892
of the city
H1540
where I have caused you to be carried away captive,
H6419
and pray
H3068
to Yahweh
H7965
for it; for in its peace
H7965
you shall have peace.
8
H559
For thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel:
H5030
Don't let your prophets
H7130
who are in the midst
H7080
of you, and your diviners,
H5377
deceive
H8085
you; neither listen
H2472
to your dreams
H2492
which you cause to be dreamed.
9
H5012
For they prophesy
H8267
falsely
H8034
to you in my name:
H7971
I have not sent
H5002
them, says
H3068
Yahweh.
10
H559
For thus says
H3068
Yahweh,
H6310
After
H7657
seventy
H8141
years
H4390
are accomplished
H894
for Babylon,
H6485
I will visit
H6965
you, and perform
H2896
my good
H1697
word
H7725
toward you, in causing you to return
H4725
to this place.
11
H3045
For I know
H4284
the thoughts
H2803
that I think
H5002
toward you, says
H3068
Yahweh,
H4284
thoughts
H7965
of peace,
H7451
and not of evil,
H5414
to give
H8615
you hope
H319
and a future.
12
H7121
You shall call
H1980
on me, and you shall go
H6419
and pray
H8085
to me, and I will listen to you.
13
H1245
You shall seek
H4672
me, and find
H1875
me, when you shall search
H3824
for me with all your heart.
14
H4672
I will be found
H5002
by you, says
H3068
Yahweh,
H7725
and I will turn again
H7622
your captivity,
H6908
and I will gather
H1471
you from all the nations,
H4725
and from all the places
H5080
where I have driven
H5002
you, says
H3068
Yahweh;
H7725
and I will bring you again
H4725
to the place
H1540
from where I caused you to be carried away captive.
16
H559
thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H4428
concerning the king
H3427
who sits
H3678
on the throne
H1732
of David,
H5971
and concerning all the people
H3427
who dwell
H5892
in this city,
H251
your brothers
H3318
who haven't gone forth
H1473
with you into captivity;
17
H559
thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies;
H7971
Behold, I will send
H2719
on them the sword,
H7458
the famine,
H1698
and the pestilence,
H5414
and will make
H8182
them like vile
H8384
figs,
H398
that can't be eaten,
H7455
they are so bad.
18
H7291
I will pursue
H310
after them
H2719
with the sword,
H7458
with the famine,
H1698
and with the pestilence,
H5414
and will deliver
H2189
them to be tossed
H4467
back and forth among all the kingdoms
H776
of the earth,
H423
to be an object of horror,
H8047
and an astonishment,
H8322
and a hissing,
H2781
and a reproach,
H1471
among all the nations
H5080
where I have driven them;
19
H8085
because they have not listened
H1697
to my words,
H5002
says
H3068
Yahweh,
H7971
with which I sent
H5650
to them my servants
H5030
the prophets,
H7925
rising up early
H7971
and sending
H8085
them; but you would not hear,
H5002
says
H3068
Yahweh.
20
H8085
Hear
H1697
therefore the word
H3068
of Yahweh,
H1473
all you of the captivity,
H7971
whom I have sent
H3389
away from Jerusalem
H894
to Babylon.
21
H559
Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H256
concerning Ahab
H1121
the son
H6964
of Kolaiah,
H6667
and concerning Zedekiah
H1121
the son
H4641
of Maaseiah,
H5012
who prophesy
H8267
a lie
H8034
to you in my name:
H5414
Behold, I will deliver
H3027
them into the hand
H5019
of Nebuchadnezzar
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon;
H5221
and he shall kill
H5869
them before your eyes;
22
H3947
and of them shall be taken up
H7045
a curse
H1546
by all the captives
H3063
of Judah
H894
who are in Babylon,
H559
saying,
H3068
Yahweh
H7760
make
H6667
you like Zedekiah
H256
and like Ahab,
H4428
whom the king
H894
of Babylon
H7033
roasted
H784
in the fire;
23
H6213
because they have worked
H5039
folly
H3478
in Israel,
H6213
and have committed
H5003
adultery
H7453
with their neighbors'
H802
wives,
H1696
and have spoken
H1697
words
H8034
in my name
H8267
falsely,
H6680
which I didn't command
H3045
them; and I am he who knows,
H5707
and am witness,
H5002
says
H3068
Yahweh.
25
H559
Thus speaks
H3068
Yahweh
H6635
of Armies,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H559
saying,
H7971
Because you have sent
H5612
letters
H8034
in your own name
H5971
to all the people
H3389
who are at Jerusalem,
H6846
and to Zephaniah
H1121
the son
H4641
of Maaseiah,
H3548
the priest,
H3548
and to all the priests,
H559
saying,
26
H3068
Yahweh
H5414
has made
H3548
you priest
H3077
in the place of Jehoiada
H3548
the priest,
H6496
that there may be officers
H1004
in the house
H3068
of Yahweh,
H376
for every man
H7696
who is mad,
H5012
and makes himself a prophet,
H5414
that you should put
H6729
him in the stocks
H4115
and in shackles.
27
H1605
Now therefore, why have you not rebuked
H3414
Jeremiah
H6069
of Anathoth,
H5012
who makes himself a prophet to you,
28
H7971
because he has sent
H894
to us in Babylon,
H559
saying,
H1931
The
H752
captivity is long:
H1129
build
H1004
houses,
H3427
and dwell
H5193
in them; and plant
H1593
gardens,
H398
and eat
H6529
their fruit?
29
H6846
Zephaniah
H3548
the priest
H7121
read
H5612
this letter
H241
in the ears
H3414
of Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet.
31
H7971
Send
H1473
to all them of the captivity,
H559
saying,
H559
Thus says
H3068
Yahweh
H8098
concerning Shemaiah
H5161
the Nehelamite:
H8098
Because Shemaiah
H5012
has prophesied
H7971
to you, and I didn't send
H982
him, and he has caused you to trust
H8267
in a lie;
32
H559
therefore thus says
H3068
Yahweh,
H6485
Behold, I will punish
H8098
Shemaiah
H5161
the Nehelamite,
H2233
and his seed;
H376
he shall not have a man
H3427
to dwell
H8432
among
H5971
this people,
H7200
neither shall he see
H2896
the good
H6213
that I will do
H5971
to my people,
H5002
says
H3068
Yahweh,
H1696
because he has spoken
H5627
rebellion
H3068
against Yahweh.
