Jeremiah 21:4-22:30 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel ; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands , with which ye fight against the king of Babylon , and against the Chaldeans , who besiege you outside the walls , and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

4 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5437 [H8688] ; Behold, I will turn back H3627 the weapons H4421 of war H3027 that are in your hands H3898 [H8737] , with which ye fight H4428 against the king H894 of Babylon H3778 , and against the Chaldeans H6696 [H8802] , who besiege H2351 you outside H2346 the walls H622 [H8804] , and I will assemble H8432 them into the midst H5892 of this city.

5 H3898 [H8738] And I myself will fight H5186 [H8803] against you with an outstretched H3027 hand H2389 and with a strong H2220 arm H639 , even in anger H2534 , and in fury H1419 , and in great H7110 wrath.

6 H5221 [H8689] And I will smite H3427 [H8802] the inhabitants H5892 of this city H120 , both man H929 and beast H4191 [H8799] : they shall die H1419 by a great H1698 pestilence.

7 H310 And afterward H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H5414 [H8799] , I will deliver H6667 Zedekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H5650 , and his servants H5971 , and the people H7604 [H8737] , and such as are left H5892 in this city H1698 from the pestilence H2719 , from the sword H7458 , and from the famine H3027 , into the hand H5019 of Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H3027 , and into the hand H341 [H8802] of their enemies H3027 , and into the hand H1245 [H8764] of those that seek H5315 their life H5221 [H8689] : and he shall smite H6310 them with the edge H2719 of the sword H2347 [H8799] ; he shall not spare H2550 [H8799] them, neither have pity H7355 [H8762] , nor have mercy.

8 H5971 And to this people H559 [H8799] thou shalt say H559 [H8804] , Thus saith H3068 the LORD H5414 [H8802] ; Behold, I set H6440 before H1870 you the way H2416 of life H1870 , and the way H4194 of death.

9 H3427 [H8802] He that abideth H5892 in this city H4191 [H8799] shall die H2719 by the sword H7458 , and by the famine H1698 , and by the pestilence H3318 [H8802] : but he that goeth out H5307 [H8804] , and falleth H3778 to the Chaldeans H6696 [H8802] that besiege H2421 H2421 [H8804] you, he shall live H5315 , and his life H7998 shall be to him for a prize.

10 H7760 [H8804] For I have set H6440 my face H5892 against this city H7451 for evil H2896 , and not for good H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H5414 [H8735] : it shall be given H3027 into the hand H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon H8313 [H8804] , and he shall burn H784 it with fire.

11 H1004 And concerning the house H4428 of the king H3063 of Judah H8085 [H8798] , say, Hear H1697 ye the word H3068 of the LORD;

12 H1004 O house H1732 of David H559 [H8804] , thus saith H3068 the LORD H1777 [H8798] ; Execute H4941 judgment H1242 in the morning H5337 [H8685] , and deliver H1497 [H8803] him that is made desolate H3027 out of the hand H6231 [H8802] of the oppressor H2534 , lest my fury H3318 [H8799] go out H784 like fire H1197 [H8804] , and burn H3518 [H8764] that none can quench H6440 it, because H7455 of the evil H4611 of your doings.

13 H3427 [H8802] Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant H6010 of the valley H6697 , and rock H4334 of the plain H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H559 [H8802] ; who say H5181 [H8799] , Who shall come down H935 [H8799] against us? or who shall enter H4585 into our habitations?

14 H6485 [H8804] But I will punish H6529 you according to the fruit H4611 of your doings H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H3341 [H8689] : and I will kindle H784 a fire H3293 in its forest H398 [H8804] , and it shall devour H5439 all things on every side of it.

1 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H3381 [H8798] ; Go down H1004 to the house H4428 of the king H3063 of Judah H1696 [H8765] , and speak H1697 there this word,

2 H559 [H8804] And say H8085 [H8798] , Hear H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD H4428 , O king H3063 of Judah H3427 [H8802] , that sittest H3678 upon the throne H1732 of David H5650 , thou, and thy servants H5971 , and thy people H935 [H8802] that enter H8179 by these gates:

3 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H6213 [H8798] ; Execute H4941 ye judgment H6666 and righteousness H5337 [H8685] , and deliver H1497 [H8803] him that is laid waste H3027 out of the hand H6216 of the oppressor H3238 [H8686] : and do no wrong H2554 [H8799] , do no violence H1616 to the stranger H3490 , the fatherless H490 , nor the widow H8210 [H8799] , neither shed H5355 innocent H1818 blood H4725 in this place.

4 H6213 [H8799] For if ye do H1697 this thing H6213 [H8800] indeed H935 [H8804] , then shall there enter H8179 by the gates H1004 of this house H4428 kings H3427 [H8802] sitting H3678 upon the throne H1732 of David H7392 [H8802] , riding H7393 in chariots H5483 and on horses H5650 , he, and his servants H5971 , and his people.

5 H8085 [H8799] But if ye will not hear H1697 these words H7650 [H8738] , I swear H5002 [H8803] by myself, saith H3068 the LORD H1004 , that this house H2723 shall become a desolation.

6 H559 [H8804] For thus saith H3068 the LORD H4428 to the king's H1004 house H3063 of Judah H1568 ; Thou art Gilead H7218 to me, and the head H3844 of Lebanon H7896 [H8799] : yet surely I will make H4057 thee a wilderness H5892 , and cities H3427 H3427 [H8738] which are not inhabited.

7 H6942 [H8765] And I will prepare H7843 [H8688] destroyers H376 against thee, every one H3627 with his weapons H3772 [H8804] : and they shall cut down H4005 thy choice H730 cedars H5307 [H8689] , and cast H784 them into the fire.

8 H7227 And many H1471 nations H5674 [H8804] shall pass H5892 by this city H559 [H8804] , and they shall say H376 every man H7453 to his neighbour H3068 , Why hath the LORD H6213 [H8804] done H1419 thus to this great H5892 city?

9 H559 [H8804] Then they shall answer H5800 [H8804] , Because they have forsaken H1285 the covenant H3068 of the LORD H430 their God H7812 [H8691] , and worshipped H312 other H430 gods H5647 [H8799] , and served them.

10 H1058 [H8799] Weep H4191 [H8801] ye not for the dead H5110 [H8799] , neither bemoan H1058 [H8798] him: but weep H1058 [H8800] bitterly H1980 [H8802] for him that goeth away H7725 [H8799] : for he shall return H7200 [H8804] no more, nor see H4138 his native H776 country.

11 H559 [H8804] For thus saith H3068 the LORD H413 concerning H7967 Shallum H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H4427 [H8802] , who reigned H2977 instead of Josiah H1 his father H3318 [H8804] , who went forth H4725 from this place H7725 [H8799] ; He shall not return there any more:

12 H4191 [H8799] But he shall die H4725 in the place H1540 [H8689] where they have led him captive H7200 [H8799] , and shall see H776 this land no more.

13 H1945 Woe H1129 [H8802] to him that buildeth H1004 his house H3808 by H6664 unrighteousness H5944 , and his chambers H4941 by wrong H7453 ; that useth his neighbour's H5647 [H8799] service H2600 without wages H5414 [H8799] , and giveth H6467 him not for his work;

14 H559 [H8802] That saith H1129 [H8799] , I will build H4060 me a wide H1004 house H7304 [H8794] and large H5944 chambers H7167 [H8804] , and cutteth him out H2474 windows H5603 [H8803] ; and it is panelled H730 with cedar H4886 [H8800] , and painted H8350 with vermilion.

15 H4427 [H8799] Shalt thou reign H8474 [H8808] , because thou closest H730 thyself in cedar H1 ? did not thy father H398 [H8804] eat H8354 [H8804] and drink H6213 [H8804] , and do H4941 judgment H6666 and justice H2896 , and then it was well with him?

16 H1777 [H8804] He judged H1779 the cause H6041 of the poor H34 and needy H2896 ; then it was well H1847 with him: was not this to know H5002 [H8803] me? saith H3068 the LORD.

17 H5869 But thy eyes H3820 and thy heart H1215 are only for thy covetousness H8210 [H8800] , and for shedding H5355 innocent H1818 blood H6233 , and for oppression H4835 , and for violence H6213 [H8800] , to do it.

18 H559 [H8804] Therefore thus saith H3068 the LORD H3079 concerning Jehoiakim H1121 the son H2977 of Josiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H5594 [H8799] ; They shall not lament H1945 for him, saying, Ah H251 my brother H1945 ! or, Ah H269 sister H5594 [H8799] ! they shall not lament H1945 for him, saying, Ah H113 lord H1945 ! or, Ah H1935 his glory!

19 H6912 [H8735] He shall be buried H6900 with the burial H2543 of a donkey H5498 [H8800] , drawn H7993 [H8687] and cast forth H1973 beyond H8179 the gates H3389 of Jerusalem.

20 H5927 [H8798] Go up H3844 to Lebanon H6817 [H8798] , and cry H5414 [H8798] ; and lift up H6963 thy voice H1316 in Bashan H6817 [H8798] , and cry H5676 from the passes H157 [H8764] : for all thy lovers H7665 [H8738] are destroyed.

21 H1696 [H8765] I spoke H7962 to thee in thy prosperity H559 [H8804] ; but thou saidst H8085 [H8799] , I will not hear H1870 . This hath been thy manner H5271 from thy youth H8085 [H8804] , that thou didst obey H6963 not my voice.

22 H7307 The wind H7462 [H8799] shall eat up H7462 [H8802] all thy shepherds H157 [H8764] , and thy lovers H3212 [H8799] shall go H7628 into captivity H954 [H8799] : surely then shalt thou be ashamed H3637 [H8738] and confounded H7451 for all thy wickedness.

23 H3427 [H8802] O inhabitant H3844 of Lebanon H7077 [H8794] , that makest thy nest H730 in the cedars H2603 [H8738] , how gracious H2256 shalt thou be when pangs H935 [H8800] come H2427 upon thee, the pain H3205 [H8802] as of a woman in travail!

24 H2416 As I live H5002 [H8803] , saith H3068 the LORD H3659 , though Coniah H1121 the son H3079 of Jehoiakim H4428 king H3063 of Judah H2368 were the signet H3225 upon my right H3027 hand H5423 [H8799] , yet would I pluck thee from there;

25 H5414 [H8804] And I will give H3027 thee into the hand H1245 [H8764] of them that seek H5315 thy life H3027 , and into the hand H6440 of them whose face H3016 [H8801] thou fearest H3027 , even into the hand H5019 of Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H3027 , and into the hand H3778 of the Chaldeans.

26 H2904 [H8689] And I will cast thee out H517 , and thy mother H3205 [H8804] that bore H312 thee, into another H776 country H3205 [H8795] , where ye were not born H4191 [H8799] ; and there shall ye die.

27 H776 But to the land H5375 H5315 [H8764] where they desire H7725 [H8800] to return H7725 [H8799] , there shall they not return.

28 H376 Is this man H3659 Coniah H959 [H8737] a despised H5310 [H8803] broken H6089 idol H3627 ? is he a vessel H2656 in which is no pleasure H7993 [H8717] ? why are they cast out H2233 , he and his seed H2904 [H8717] , and are cast H776 into a land H3045 [H8804] which they know not?

29 H776 O earth H776 , earth H776 , earth H8085 [H8798] , hear H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD.

30 H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD H3789 [H8798] , Write H376 ye this man H6185 childless H1397 , a man H6743 [H8799] that shall not prosper H3117 in his days H376 : for no man H2233 of his seed H6743 [H8799] shall prosper H3427 [H8802] , sitting H3678 upon the throne H1732 of David H4910 [H8802] , and ruling H3063 any more in Judah.
