 of ,jeremiah the son of ,hilkiah1 of   
the priests          who were in        
,anathoth in the land of ,benjamin3     
#jja3jjb to whom the word of ,yahweh    
came in the days of ,josiah the son     
of ,amon1 king of ,judah1 in the        
thirteenth year of his reign4  #jja3jjc 
,it came also in the days of ,jehoiakim 
the son of ,josiah1          king of    
,judah1 to the end of the eleventh year 
of ,zedekiah1          the son of       
,josiah1 king of ,judah1 to the carrying
 away          of ,jerusalem captive in 
the fifth month4  #jja3jjd ,now the word
 of ,yahweh came to me1 saying1         
#jja3jje ,before ,i formed you in the   
belly ,i knew you1 and before you       
came forth out of the womb ,i sanctified
 you2 ,i have appointed          you a  
prophet to the nations4  #jja3jjf ,then 
said ,i1 ,ah1 ,lord ,yahweh6 behold1 ,i 
don't know how to speak2          for ,i

 am a child4  #jja3jjg ,but ,yahweh said
 to me1 ,don't say1 ,i am a child2 for  
to whoever ,i          shall send you1  
you shall go1 and whatever ,i shall     
command you1          you shall speak4  
#jja3jjh ,don't be afraid because of    
them2 for ,i am with you to             
deliver you1 says ,yahweh4  #jja3jji    
,then ,yahweh put forth his hand1 and   
touched my mouth2 and ,yahweh           
said to me1 ,behold1 ,i have put my     
words in your mouth3  #jja3jaj behold1  
,i have this day set you over the       
nations and over          the kingdoms1 
to pluck up and to break down and to    
destroy          and to overthrow1 to   
build and to plant4  #jja3jaa ,moreover 
the word of ,yahweh came to me1 saying1 
,jeremiah1          what see you8  ,i   
said1 ,i see a rod of an almond tree4   
#jja3jab ,then said ,yahweh to me1 ,you 
have well seen3  for ,i watch           
over my word to perform it4  #jja3jac   
,the word of ,yahweh came to me the     
second time1 saying1 ,what see you8     

,i said1 ,i see a boiling caldron2 and  
the face of it is          from the     
north4  #jja3jad ,then ,yahweh said to  
me1 ,out of the north evil shall break  
forth on all the inhabitants of the     
land4  #jja3jae ,for1 behold1 ,i will   
call all the families of the kingdoms   
of the north1 says ,yahweh2 and they    
shall come1 and they          shall set 
everyone his throne at the entrance of  
the gates          of ,jerusalem1 and   
against all the walls of it round about1
          and against all the cities of 
,judah4  #jja3jaf ,i will utter my      
judgments against them touching all     
their wickedness1          in that they 
have forsaken me1 and have burned       
incense          to other gods1 and     
worshiped the works of their own hands4 
#jja3jag ,you therefore gird up your    
waist1 and arise1 and speak          to 
them all that ,i command you3  don't be 
dismayed at them1          lest ,i      
dismay you before them4  #jja3jah ,for1 
behold1 ,i have made you this day a     

fortified city1          and an iron    
pillar1 and bronze walls1 against the   
whole land1          against the kings  
of ,judah1 against the princes of it1   
against the priests of it1 and against  
the people of the land4  #jja3jai ,they 
shall fight against you2 but they shall 
not prevail against you3          for ,i
 am with you1 says ,yahweh1 to deliver  
you4  #jjb3jja ,the word of ,yahweh came
 to me1 saying1  #jjb3jjb ,go1 and cry  
in the ears of ,jerusalem1 saying1 ,thus
 says          ,yahweh1 ,i remember for 
you the kindness of your youth1 the love
          of your weddings2 how you went
 after me in the wilderness1          in
 a land that was not sown4  #jjb3jjc    
,israel was holiness to ,yahweh1 the    
first fruits of his increase3           
all who devour him shall be held guilty2
 evil shall come          on them1 says 
,yahweh4  #jjb3jjd ,hear you the word of
 ,yahweh1 ,o house of ,jacob1 and all   
the families          of the house of   
,israel3  #jjb3jje thus says ,yahweh1   

,what unrighteousness have your fathers 
found in me1          that they have    
gone far from me1 and have walked after 
vanity1          and are become vain8   
#jjb3jjf ,neither said they1 ,where is  
,yahweh who brought us up out           
of the land of ,egypt1 who led us       
through the wilderness1          through
 a land of deserts and of pits1 through 
a land of          drought and of the   
shadow of death1 through a land that    
none          passed through1 and where 
no man lived8  #jjb3jjg ,i brought you  
into a plentiful land1 to eat the fruit 
of it and          the goodness of it2  
but when you entered1 you defiled my    
land1          and made my heritage an  
abomination4  #jjb3jjh ,the priests     
didn't say1 ,where is ,yahweh8 and those
 who handle          the law didn't know
 me3  the rulers also transgressed      
against me1          and the prophets   
prophesied by ,baal1 and walked after   
things          that do not profit4     
#jjb3jji ,therefore ,i will yet contend 

with you1 says ,yahweh1 and with        
your children's children will ,i        
contend4  #jjb3jaj ,for pass over to the
 islands of ,kittim1 and see2 and send  
to ,kedar1 and consider diligently2 and 
see if there has been          such a   
thing4  #jjb3jaa ,has a nation changed  
its gods1 which yet are no gods8 but my 
people have changed their glory for that
 which does not profit4  #jjb3jab ,be   
astonished1 you heavens1 at this1 and be
 horribly afraid1          be you very  
desolate1 says ,yahweh4  #jjb3jac ,for  
my people have committed two evils3     
they have forsaken me1          the     
spring of living waters1 and hewed them 
out cisterns1          broken cisterns1 
that can hold no water4  #jjb3jad ,is   
,israel a servant8 is he a native-born  
slave8 why is          he become a prey8
  #jjb3jae ,the young lions have roared 
on him1 and yelled2 and they have made  
his land waste3  his cities are burned  
up1 without inhabitant4  #jjb3jaf ,the  
children also of ,memphis and ,tahpanhes

 have broken the crown          of your 
head4  #jjb3jag ,haven't you procured   
this to yourself1 in that you have      
forsaken          ,yahweh your ,god1    
when he led you by the way8  #jjb3jah   
,now what have you to do in the way to  
,egypt1 to drink the waters          of 
the ,shihor8 or what have you to do in  
the way to ,assyria1          to drink  
the waters of the ,river8  #jjb3jai     
,your own wickedness shall correct you1 
and your backsliding          shall     
reprove you3  know therefore and see    
that it is an evil          thing and a 
bitter1 that you have forsaken ,yahweh  
your ,god1          and that my fear is 
not in you1 says the ,lord1 ,yahweh of  
,armies4  #jjb3jbj ,for of old time ,i  
have broken your yoke1 and burst your   
bonds2          and you said1 ,i will   
not serve2 for on every high hill and   
under          every green tree you did 
bow yourself1 playing the prostitute4   
#jjb3jba ,yet ,i had planted you a noble
 vine1 wholly a right seed3          how

 then are you turned into the degenerate
 branches of a          foreign vine to 
me8  #jjb3jbb ,for though you wash      
yourself with lye1 and use much soap1   
yet your iniquity is marked before me1  
says the ,lord ,yahweh4  #jjb3jbc ,how  
can you say1 ,i am not defiled1 ,i have 
not gone after          the ,baals8 see 
your way in the valley1 know what you   
have done3          you are a swift     
dromedary traversing her ways2  #jjb3jbd
 a wild donkey used to the wilderness1  
that snuffs up the wind          in her 
desire2 in her occasion who can turn her
 away8 all          those who seek her  
will not weary themselves2 in her month 
they shall find her4  #jjb3jbe ,withhold
 your foot from being unshod1 and your  
throat from thirst3          but you    
said1 ,it is in vain2 no1 for ,i have   
loved strangers1          and after them
 will ,i go4  #jjb3jbf ,as the thief is 
ashamed when he is found1 so is the     
house          of ,israel ashamed2 they1
 their kings1 their princes1            

and their priests1 and their prophets2  
#jjb3jbg who tell a stock1 ,you are my  
father2 and to a stone1 ,you have       
brought me forth3  for they have turned 
their back to me1          and not their
 face2 but in the time of their trouble 
they          will say1 ,arise1 and save
 us4  #jjb3jbh ,but where are your gods 
that you have made you8 let them arise1 
if they can save you in the time of your
 trouble3          for according to the 
number of your cities are your gods1    
,judah4  #jjb3jbi ,why will you contend 
with me8 you all have transgressed      
against me1 says ,yahweh4  #jjb3jcj ,in 
vain have ,i struck your children2 they 
received no correction3          your   
own sword has devoured your prophets1   
like a destroying lion4  #jjb3jca       
,generation1 see the word of ,yahweh4   
,have ,i been a wilderness          to  
,israel8 or a land of thick darkness8   
why say my people1          ,we are     
broken loose2 we will come no more to   
you8  #jjb3jcb ,can a virgin forget her 

ornaments1 or a bride her attire8 yet   
my people have forgotten me days without
 number4  #jjb3jcc ,how trimmest you    
your way to seek love6 therefore even   
the wicked          women have you      
taught your ways4  #jjb3jcd ,also in    
your skirts is found the blood of the   
souls          of the innocent poor3    
you did not find them breaking in2      
but it is because of all these things4  
#jjb3jce ,yet you said1 ,i am innocent2 
surely his anger is turned away         
from me4  ,behold1 ,i will enter into   
judgment with you1          because you 
say1 ,i have not sinned4  #jjb3jcf ,why 
go you about so much to change your way8
 you shall be          ashamed of ,egypt
 also1 as you were ashamed of ,assyria4 
#jjb3jcg ,from there also shall you go  
forth1 with your hands on your head3    
for ,yahweh has rejected those in whom  
you trust1 and you          shall not   
prosper with them4  #jjc3jja ,they say1 
,if a man put away his wife1 and she go 
from him1          and become another   

man's1 will he return to her again8     
,won't that land be greatly polluted8   
,but you have played          the       
prostitute with many lovers2 yet return 
again          to me1 says ,yahweh4     
#jjc3jjb ,lift up your eyes to the bare 
heights1 and see2 where have            
you not been lain with8  ,by the ways   
have you sat for them1          as an   
,arabian in the wilderness2 and you have
 polluted the land          with your   
prostitution and with your wickedness4  
#jjc3jjc ,therefore the showers have    
been withheld1 and there has            
been no latter rain2 yet you have a     
prostitute's forehead1          you     
refused to be ashamed4  #jjc3jjd ,will  
you not from this time cry to me1 ,my   
,father1 you are          the guide of  
my youth8  #jjc3jje ,will he retain his 
anger forever8 will he keep it to the   
end8          ,behold1 you have spoken  
and have done evil things1 and have     
had your way4  #jjc3jjf ,moreover       
,yahweh said to me in the days of       

,josiah the king1          ,have you    
seen that which backsliding ,israel has 
done8 she          is gone up on every  
high mountain and under every green     
tree1          and there has played the 
prostitute4  #jjc3jjg ,i said after she 
had done all these things1 ,she will    
return to me2          but she didn't   
return3  and her treacherous sister     
,judah saw it4  #jjc3jjh ,i saw1 when1  
for this very cause that backsliding    
,israel had          committed adultery1
 ,i had put her away and given her a    
bill          of divorce1 yet           
treacherous ,judah1 her sister1 didn't  
fear2          but she also went and    
played the prostitute4  #jjc3jji ,it    
happened through the lightness of her   
prostitution1          that the land was
 polluted1 and she committed adultery   
with stones and with stocks4  #jjc3jaj  
,yet for all this her treacherous sister
 ,judah has not returned          to me 
with her whole heart1 but only in       
pretense1 says ,yahweh4  #jjc3jaa       

,yahweh said to me1 ,backsliding ,israel
 has shown herself more                 
righteous than treacherous ,judah4      
#jjc3jab ,go1 and proclaim these words  
toward the north1 and say1              
,return1 you backsliding ,israel1 says  
,yahweh2 ,i will not look          in   
anger on you2 for ,i am merciful1 says  
,yahweh1 ,i will not          keep anger
 forever4  #jjc3jac ,only acknowledge   
your iniquity1 that you have            
transgressed          against ,yahweh   
your ,god1 and have scattered your ways 
to          the strangers under every   
green tree1 and you have not obeyed     
my voice1 says ,yahweh4  #jjc3jad       
,return1 backsliding children1 says     
,yahweh2 for ,i am a husband to you3    
and ,i will take you one of a city1 and 
two of a family1          and ,i will   
bring you to ,zion3  #jjc3jae and ,i    
will give you shepherds according to my 
heart1 who shall          feed you with 
knowledge and understanding4  #jjc3jaf  
,it shall come to pass1 when you are    

multiplied and increased          in the
 land1 in those days1 says ,yahweh1 they
 shall say no more1          ,the ark of
 the covenant of ,yahweh2 neither shall 
it come to mind2          neither shall 
they remember it2 neither shall they    
miss it2          neither shall it be   
made any more4  #jjc3jag ,at that time  
they shall call ,jerusalem the throne of
 ,yahweh2          and all the nations  
shall be gathered to it1 to the name    
of ,yahweh1 to ,jerusalem3  neither     
shall they walk any more          after 
the stubbornness of their evil heart4   
#jjc3jah ,in those days the house of    
,judah shall walk with the house        
of ,israel1 and they shall come together
 out of the land          of the north  
to the land that ,i gave for an         
inheritance          to your fathers4   
#jjc3jai ,but ,i said1 ,how ,i will put 
you among the children1 and give        
you a pleasant land1 a goodly heritage  
of the armies          of the nations6  
and ,i said1 ,you shall call me ,my     

,father1          and shall not turn    
away from following me4  #jjc3jbj       
,surely as a wife treacherously departs 
from her husband1 so have          you  
dealt treacherously with me1 house of   
,israel1 says ,yahweh4  #jjc3jba ,a     
voice is heard on the bare heights1 the 
weeping and          the petitions of   
the children of ,israel2 because they   
have          perverted their way1 they 
have forgotten ,yahweh their ,god4      
#jjc3jbb ,return1 you backsliding       
children1 ,i will heal your backsliding4
          ,behold1 we are come to you2  
for you are ,yahweh our ,god4  #jjc3jbc 
,truly in vain is the help that is      
looked for from the hills1          the 
tumult on the mountains3  truly in      
,yahweh our ,god is          the        
salvation of ,israel4  #jjc3jbd ,but the
 shameful thing has devoured the labor  
of our fathers          from our youth1 
their flocks and their herds1 their sons
          and their daughters4  #jjc3jbe
 ,let us lie down in our shame1 and let 

our confusion cover us2          for we 
have sinned against ,yahweh our ,god1 we
 and our fathers1          from our     
youth even to this day2 and we have not 
obeyed          the voice of ,yahweh our
 ,god4  #jjd3jja ,if you will return1   
,israel1 says ,yahweh1 if you will      
return to me1          and if you will  
put away your abominations out of my    
sight2          then you shall not be   
removed2  #jjd3jjb and you shall swear1 
,as ,yahweh lives1 in truth1 in justice1
          and in righteousness2 and the 
nations shall bless themselves          
in him1 and in him shall they glory4    
#jjd3jjc ,for thus says ,yahweh to the  
men of ,judah and to ,jerusalem1 ,break 
up          your fallow ground1 and     
don't sow among thorns4  #jjd3jjd       
,circumcise yourselves to ,yahweh1 and  
take away the foreskins          of your
 heart1 you men of ,judah and           
inhabitants of ,jerusalem2          lest
 my wrath go forth like fire1 and burn  
so that none can          quench it1    

because of the evil of your doings4     
#jjd3jje ,declare you in ,judah1 and    
publish in ,jerusalem2 and say1         
,blow you the trumpet in the land3  cry 
aloud and say1          ,assemble       
yourselves1 and let us go into the      
fortified cities4  #jjd3jjf ,set up a   
standard toward ,zion3  flee for safety1
 don't stay2          for ,i will bring 
evil from the north1 and a great        
destruction4  #jjd3jjg ,a lion is gone  
up from his thicket1 and a destroyer of 
nations2          he is on his way1 he  
is gone forth from his place1 to make   
your          land desolate1 that your  
cities be laid waste1 without           
inhabitant4  #jjd3jjh ,for this gird you
 with sackcloth1 lament and wail2       
for the fierce anger of ,yahweh hasn't  
turned back from us4  #jjd3jji ,it shall
 happen at that day1 says ,yahweh1 that 
the heart          of the king shall    
perish1 and the heart of the princes2   
and the priests shall be astonished1 and
 the prophets shall wonder4  #jjd3jaj   

,then said ,i1 ,ah1 ,lord ,yahweh6      
surely you have greatly deceived        
this people and ,jerusalem1 saying1 ,you
 shall have peace2          whereas the 
sword reaches to the life4  #jjd3jaa ,at
 that time shall it be said to this     
people and to ,jerusalem1 ,a hot        
wind from the bare heights in the       
wilderness toward the daughter          
of my people1 not to winnow1 nor to     
cleanse2  #jjd3jab a full wind from     
these shall come for me3  now will ,i   
also utter          judgments against   
them4  #jjd3jac ,behold1 he shall come  
up as clouds1 and his chariots shall    
be as the whirlwind3  his horses are    
swifter than eagles4          ,woe to   
us6 for we are ruined4  #jjd3jad        
,jerusalem1 wash your heart from        
wickedness1 that you may be saved4      
,how long shall your evil thoughts lodge
 within you8  #jjd3jae ,for a voice     
declares from ,dan1 and publishes evil  
from          the hills of ,ephraim3    
#jjd3jaf make you mention to the        

nations2 behold1 publish against        
,jerusalem1          that watchers come 
from a far country1 and give out their  
voice against the cities of ,judah4     
#jjd3jag ,as keepers of a field are they
 against her round about1               
because she has been rebellious against 
me1 says ,yahweh4  #jjd3jah ,your way   
and your doings have procured these     
things to you2          this is your    
wickedness2 for it is bitter1 for it    
reaches          to your heart4         
#jjd3jai ,my anguish1 my anguish6  ,i am
 pained at my very heart2          my   
heart is disquieted in me2 ,i can't hold
 my peace2          because you have    
heard1 ,o my soul1 the sound of the     
trumpet1          the alarm of war4     
#jjd3jbj ,destruction on destruction is 
cried2 for the whole land is            
laid waste3  suddenly are my tents      
destroyed1 and my curtains          in a
 moment4  #jjd3jba ,how long shall ,i   
see the standard1 and hear the sound    
of the trumpet8  #jjd3jbb ,for my people

 are foolish1 they don't know me2 they  
are          foolish children1 and they 
have no understanding2 they are         
wise to do evil1 but to do good they    
have no knowledge4  #jjd3jbc ,i saw the 
earth1 and1 behold1 it was waste and    
void2          and the heavens1 and they
 had no light4  #jjd3jbd ,i saw the     
mountains1 and behold1 they trembled1   
and all the hills          moved back   
and forth4  #jjd3jbe ,i saw1 and behold1
 there was no man1 and all the birds    
of the sky were fled4  #jjd3jbf ,i saw1 
and behold1 the fruitful field was a    
wilderness1 and all          the cities 
of it were broken down at the presence  
of ,yahweh1          and before his     
fierce anger4  #jjd3jbg ,for thus says  
,yahweh1 ,the whole land shall be a     
desolation2          yet will ,i not    
make a full end4  #jjd3jbh ,for this    
shall the earth mourn1 and the heavens  
above be black2          because ,i have
 spoken it1 ,i have purposed it1 and ,i 
have          not repented1 neither will

 ,i turn back from it4  #jjd3jbi ,every 
city flees for the noise of the horsemen
 and archers2          they go into the 
thickets1 and climb up on the rocks3    
every city is forsaken1 and not a man   
dwells therein4  #jjd3jcj ,you1 when you
 are made desolate1 what will you do8   
,though you clothe yourself with        
scarlet1 though you deck you            
with ornaments of gold1 though you      
enlarge your eyes with paint1           
in vain do you make yourself beautiful2 
your lovers despise you1          they  
seek your life4  #jjd3jca ,for ,i have  
heard a voice as of a woman in travail1 
the anguish as of her who brings forth  
her first child1          the voice of  
the daughter of ,zion1 who gasps for    
breath1          who spreads her hands1 
saying1 ,woe is me now6 for my soul     
faints before the murderers4  #jje3jja  
,run you back and forth through the     
streets of ,jerusalem1          and see 
now1 and know1 and seek in the broad    
places of it1          if you can find a

 man1 if there are any who does justly1 
who seeks truth2 and ,i will pardon her4
  #jje3jjb ,though they say1 ,as ,yahweh
 lives2 surely they swear falsely4      
#jje3jjc ,o ,yahweh1 don't your eyes    
look on truth8 you have stricken them1  
but they were not grieved2 you have     
consumed them1 but they          have   
refused to receive correction3  they    
have made their faces          harder   
than a rock2 they have refused to       
return4  #jje3jjd ,then ,i said1 ,surely
 these are poor2 they are foolish2 for  
they          don't know the way of     
,yahweh1 nor the law of their ,god3     
#jje3jje ,i will get me to the great    
men1 and will speak to them2            
for they know the way of ,yahweh1 and   
the law of their ,god4          ,but    
these with one accord have broken the   
yoke1          and burst the bonds4     
#jje3jjf ,therefore a lion out of the   
forest shall kill them1 a wolf          
of the evenings shall destroy them1 a   
leopard shall watch          against    

their cities2 everyone who goes out     
there shall          be torn in pieces2 
because their transgressions are many1  
and their backsliding is increased4     
#jje3jjg ,how can ,i pardon you8 your   
children have forsaken me1 and sworn    
by them that are no gods3  when ,i had  
fed them to the full1          they     
committed adultery1 and assembled       
themselves in troops          at the    
prostitutes' houses4  #jje3jjh ,they    
were as fed horses roaming at large2    
everyone neighed          after his     
neighbor's wife4  #jje3jji ,shall ,i not
 visit for these things8 says ,yahweh2  
and shall          not my soul be       
avenged on such a nation as this8       
#jje3jaj ,go up on her walls1 and       
destroy2 but don't make a full end3     
take away her branches2 for they are not
 ,yahweh's4  #jje3jaa ,for the house of 
,israel and the house of ,judah have    
dealt          very treacherously       
against me1 says ,yahweh4  #jje3jab     
,they have denied ,yahweh1 and said1 ,it

 is not he2 neither shall          evil 
come on us2 neither shall we see sword  
nor famine3  #jje3jac and the prophets  
shall become wind1 and the word is not  
in them3          thus shall it be done 
to them4  #jje3jad ,therefore thus says 
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,armies1 ,because  
you speak          this word1 behold1 ,i
 will make my words in your mouth fire1 
and this people wood1 and it shall      
devour them4  #jje3jae ,behold1 ,i will 
bring a nation on you from far1 house of
 ,israel1          says ,yahweh3  it is 
a mighty nation1 it is an ancient       
nation1          a nation whose language
 you don't know1 neither understand     
what they say4  #jje3jaf ,their quiver  
is an open tomb1 they are all mighty    
men4  #jje3jag ,they shall eat up your  
harvest1 and your bread1 which your sons
          and your daughters should eat2
 they shall eat up your flocks          
and your herds2 they shall eat up your  
vines and your fig trees2          they 
shall beat down your fortified cities1  

in which you trust1          with the   
sword4  #jje3jah ,but even in those     
days1 says ,yahweh1 ,i will not make a  
full          end with you4  #jje3jai   
,it shall happen1 when you shall say1   
,why has ,yahweh our ,god          done 
all these things to us8 then shall you  
say to them1          ,like as you have 
forsaken me1 and served foreign gods in 
your land1          so shall you serve  
strangers in a land that is not yours4  
#jje3jbj ,declare you this in the house 
of ,jacob1 and publish it          in   
,judah1 saying1  #jje3jba ,hear now     
this1 foolish people1 and without       
understanding2          who have eyes1  
and don't see2 who have ears1 and don't 
hear3  #jje3jbb ,don't you fear me8 says
 ,yahweh3  won't you tremble at my      
presence1          who have placed the  
sand for the bound of the sea1          
by a perpetual decree1 that it can't    
pass it8 and though          the waves  
of it toss themselves1 yet they can't   
prevail2          though they roar1 yet 

they can't pass over it4  #jje3jbc ,but 
this people has a revolting and a       
rebellious heart2          they are     
revolted and gone4  #jje3jbd ,neither   
say they in their heart1 ,let us now    
fear ,yahweh our ,god1          who     
gives rain1 both the former and the     
latter1 in its season2          who     
preserves to us the appointed weeks of  
the harvest4  #jje3jbe ,your iniquities 
have turned away these things1 and your 
sins          have withheld good from   
you4  #jje3jbf ,for among my people are 
found wicked men3  they watch1          
as fowlers lie in wait2 they set a trap1
 they catch men4  #jje3jbg ,as a cage is
 full of birds1 so are their houses full
 of deceit3          therefore they are 
become great1 and grew rich4  #jje3jbh  
,they are grew fat1 they shine3  yes1   
they overpass in deeds          of      
wickedness2 they don't plead the cause1 
the cause          of the fatherless1   
that they may prosper2 and the right    
of the needy they don't judge4  #jje3jbi

 ,shall ,i not visit for these things8  
says ,yahweh2 shall not my          soul
 be avenged on such a nation as this8   
#jje3jcj ,a wonderful and horrible thing
 is happen in the land3  #jje3jca the   
prophets prophesy falsely1 and the      
priests bear rule          by their     
means2 and my people love to have it so3
          and what will you do in the   
end of it8  #jjf3jja ,flee for safety1  
you children of ,benjamin1 out of the   
midst          of ,jerusalem1 and blow  
the trumpet in ,tekoa1 and raise up     
a signal on ,beth ,haccherem2 for evil  
looks forth from the north1          and
 a great destruction4  #jjf3jjb ,the    
comely and delicate one1 the daughter of
 ,zion1 will ,i cut off4  #jjf3jjc      
,shepherds with their flocks shall come 
to her2 they shall          pitch their 
tents against her round about2 they     
shall feed          everyone in his     
place4  #jjf3jjd ,prepare you war       
against her2 arise1 and let us go up at 
noon4          ,woe to us6 for the day  

declines1 for the shadows of the evening
          are stretched out4  #jjf3jje  
,arise1 and let us go up by night1 and  
let us destroy her palaces4  #jjf3jjf   
,for thus has ,yahweh of ,armies said1  
,hew you down trees1 and cast           
up a mound against ,jerusalem3  this is 
the city to be visited2          she is 
wholly oppression in the midst of her4  
#jjf3jjg ,as a well casts forth its     
waters1 so she casts forth her          
wickedness3          violence and       
destruction is heard in her2 before me  
continually          is sickness and    
wounds4  #jjf3jjh ,be instructed1       
,jerusalem1 lest my soul be alienated   
from you2          lest ,i make you a   
desolation1 a land not inhabited4       
#jjf3jji ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 
,they shall thoroughly glean            
the remnant of ,israel as a vine3  turn 
again your hand          as a grape     
gatherer into the baskets4  #jjf3jaj ,to
 whom shall ,i speak and testify1 that  
they may hear8 behold1          their   

ear is uncircumcised1 and they can't    
listen3          behold1 the word of    
,yahweh is become to them a reproach2   
they have no delight in it4  #jjf3jaa   
,therefore ,i am full of the wrath of   
,yahweh2 ,i am weary          with      
holding in3  pour it out on the children
 in the street1          and on the     
assembly of young men together2 for even
 the husband          with the wife     
shall be taken1 the aged with him who is
          full of days4  #jjf3jab ,their
 houses shall be turned to others1 their
 fields and their          wives        
together2 for ,i will stretch out my    
hand on the inhabitants          of the 
land1 says ,yahweh4  #jjf3jac ,for from 
the least of them even to the greatest  
of them          everyone is given to   
covetousness2 and from the prophet      
even to the priest everyone deals       
falsely4  #jjf3jad ,they have healed    
also the hurt of my people slightly1    
saying1 ,peace1 peace2 when there is no 
peace4  #jjf3jae ,were they ashamed when

 they had committed abomination8 nay1   
they were not at all ashamed1 neither   
could they blush3          therefore    
they shall fall among those who fall2 at
 the time          that ,i visit them   
they shall be cast down1 says ,yahweh4  
#jjf3jaf ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,stand you 
in the ways and see1 and ask            
for the old paths1 where is the good    
way2 and walk therein1          and you 
shall find rest for your souls3  but    
they said1          ,we will not walk   
therein4  #jjf3jag ,i set watchmen over 
you1 saying1 ,listen to the sound of the
 trumpet2          but they said1 ,we   
will not listen4  #jjf3jah ,therefore   
hear1 you nations1 and know1            
congregation1          what is among    
them4  #jjf3jai ,hear1 earth3  behold1  
,i will bring evil on this people1      
even the fruit of their thoughts1       
because they have not listened          
to my words2 and as for my law1 they    
have rejected it4  #jjf3jbj ,to what    
purpose comes there to me frankincense  

from ,sheba1          and the sweet cane
 from a far country8 your burnt         
offerings          are not acceptable1  
nor your sacrifices pleasing to me4     
#jjf3jba ,therefore thus says ,yahweh1  
,behold1 ,i will lay stumbling blocks   
before this people2 and the fathers and 
the sons together shall          stumble
 against them2 the neighbor and his     
friend shall perish4  #jjf3jbb ,thus    
says ,yahweh1 ,behold1 a people comes   
from the north country2          and a  
great nation shall be stirred up from   
the uttermost          parts of the     
earth4  #jjf3jbc ,they lay hold on bow  
and spear2 they are cruel1 and have no  
mercy2          their voice roars like  
the sea1 and they ride on horses1       
everyone set in array1 as a man to the  
battle1 against you1          daughter  
of ,zion4  #jjf3jbd ,we have heard the  
report of it2 our hands wax feeble3     
anguish has taken hold of us1 and pangs 
as of a woman in travail4  #jjf3jbe     
,don't go forth into the field1 nor walk

 by the way2          for the sword of  
the enemy1 and terror1 are on every     
side4  #jjf3jbf ,daughter of my people1 
gird you with sackcloth1 and wallow     
yourself in ashes3  make you mourning1  
as for an only son1          most bitter
 lamentation2 for the destroyer shall   
suddenly          come on us4  #jjf3jbg 
,i have made you a tester of metals and 
a fortress among my people2             
that you may know and try their way4    
#jjf3jbh ,they are all grievous rebels1 
going about with slanders2          they
 are brass and iron3  they all of them  
deal corruptly4  #jjf3jbi ,the bellows  
blow fiercely2 the lead is consumed of  
the fire3          in vain do they go on
 refining2 for the wicked are           
not plucked away4  #jjf3jcj ,refuse     
silver shall men them1 because ,yahweh  
has rejected them4  #jjg3jja ,the word  
that came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh1    
saying1  #jjg3jjb ,stand in the gate of 
,yahweh's house1 and proclaim there     
this word1 and say1 ,hear the word of   

,yahweh1 all you of ,judah1          who
 enter in at these gates to worship     
,yahweh4  #jjg3jjc ,thus says ,yahweh of
 ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,amend   
your ways          and your doings1 and 
,i will cause you to dwell in this      
place4  #jjg3jjd ,don't you trust in    
lying words1 saying1 ,the temple of     
,yahweh1          the temple of ,yahweh1
 the temple of ,yahweh1 are these4      
#jjg3jje ,for if you thoroughly amend   
your ways and your doings2          if  
you thoroughly execute justice between a
 man and his neighbor2  #jjg3jjf if you 
don't oppress the foreigner1 the        
fatherless1          and the widow1 and 
don't shed innocent blood in this place1
          neither walk after other gods 
to your own hurt3  #jjg3jjg then will ,i
 cause you to dwell in this place1 in   
the land          that ,i gave to your  
fathers1 from of old even forevermore4  
#jjg3jjh ,behold1 you trust in lying    
words1 that can't profit4  #jjg3jji     
,will you steal1 murder1 and commit     

adultery1 and swear falsely1            
and burn incense to ,baal1 and walk     
after other gods that you          have 
not known1  #jjg3jaj and come and stand 
before me in this house1 which is called
          by my name1 and say1 ,we are  
delivered2 that you may do          all 
these abominations8  #jjg3jaa ,is this  
house1 which is called by my name1      
become a den of robbers          in your
 eyes8  ,behold1 ,i1 even ,i1 have seen 
it1 says ,yahweh4  #jjg3jab ,but go you 
now to my place which was in ,shiloh1   
where ,i caused          my name to     
dwell at the first1 and see what ,i did 
to it          for the wickedness of my 
people ,israel4  #jjg3jac ,now1 because 
you have done all these works1 says     
,yahweh1 and ,i          spoke to you1  
rising up early and speaking1 but you   
didn't hear2          and ,i called you1
 but you didn't answer3  #jjg3jad       
therefore will ,i do to the house which 
is called by my name1          in which 
you trust1 and to the place which ,i    

gave to you          and to your        
fathers1 as ,i did to ,shiloh4  #jjg3jae
 ,i will cast you out of my sight1 as ,i
 have cast out all          your        
brothers1 even the whole seed of        
,ephraim4  #jjg3jaf ,therefore don't you
 pray for this people1 neither lift up  
a cry nor prayer for them1 neither make 
intercession to me2          for ,i will
 not hear you4  #jjg3jag ,don't you see 
what they do in the cities of ,judah and
 in          the streets of ,jerusalem8 
#jjg3jah ,the children gather wood1 and 
the fathers kindle the fire1            
and the women knead the dough1 to make  
cakes to the queen          of the sky1 
and to pour out drink offerings to other
 gods1          that they may provoke me
 to anger4  #jjg3jai ,do they provoke me
 to anger8 says ,yahweh2 do they not    
provoke themselves1 to the confusion of 
their own faces8  #jjg3jbj ,therefore   
thus says the ,lord ,yahweh3  ,behold1  
my anger and my          wrath shall be 
poured out on this place1 on man1 and on

 animal1          and on the trees of   
the field1 and on the fruit of the      
ground2          and it shall burn1 and 
shall not be quenched4  #jjg3jba ,thus  
says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of    
,israel3  ,add your burnt               
offerings to your sacrifices1 and eat   
meat4  #jjg3jbb ,for ,i didn't speak to 
your fathers1 nor command them in the   
day          that ,i brought them out of
 the land of ,egypt1 concerning burnt   
offerings or sacrifices3  #jjg3jbc but  
this thing ,i commanded them1 saying1   
,listen to my voice1          and ,i    
will be your ,god1 and you shall be my  
people2          and walk you in all the
 way that ,i command you1 that it may   
be well with you4  #jjg3jbd ,but they   
didn't listen nor turn their ear1 but   
walked in their          own counsels   
and in the stubbornness of their evil   
heart1          and went backward1 and  
not forward4  #jjg3jbe ,since the day   
that your fathers came forth out of the 
land of ,egypt          to this day1 ,i 

have sent to you all my servants the    
prophets1          daily rising up early
 and sending them3  #jjg3jbf yet they   
didn't listen to me1 nor inclined their 
ear1 but made          their neck stiff3
  they did worse than their fathers4    
#jjg3jbg ,you shall speak all these     
words to them2 but they will not        
listen to you3  you shall also call to  
them2 but they will          not answer 
you4  #jjg3jbh ,you shall tell them1    
,this is the nation that has not        
listened          to the voice of       
,yahweh their ,god1 nor received        
instruction3          truth is perished1
 and is cut off from their mouth4       
#jjg3jbi ,cut off your hair1 ,jerusalem1
 and cast it away1 and take up          
a lamentation on the bare heights2 for  
,yahweh has rejected          and       
forsaken the generation of his wrath4   
#jjg3jcj ,for the children of ,judah    
have done that which is evil in my      
sight1          says ,yahweh3  they have
 set their abominations in the house    

which is called by my name1 to defile   
it4  #jjg3jca ,they have built the high 
places of ,topheth1 which is          in
 the valley of the son of ,hinnom1 to   
burn their sons          and their      
daughters in the fire2 which ,i didn't  
command1          nor did it come into  
my mind4  #jjg3jcb ,therefore1 behold1  
the days come1 says ,yahweh1 that it    
shall          no more be called        
,topheth1 nor ,the valley of the son of 
,hinnom1          but ,the valley of    
,slaughter3  for they shall bury in     
,topheth1          until there be no    
place to bury4  #jjg3jcc ,the dead      
bodies of this people shall be food for 
the birds          of the sky1 and for  
the animals of the earth2 and none shall
          frighten them away4  #jjg3jcd 
,then will ,i cause to cease from the   
cities of ,judah1 and from          the 
streets of ,jerusalem1 the voice of     
mirth and the voice          of         
gladness1 the voice of the bridegroom   
and the voice of the bride2          for

 the land shall become a waste4         
#jjh3jja ,at that time1 says ,yahweh1   
they shall bring out the bones          
of the kings of ,judah1 and the bones of
 his princes1          and the bones of 
the priests1 and the bones of the       
prophets1          and the bones of the 
inhabitants of ,jerusalem1 out of their 
graves2  #jjh3jjb and they shall spread 
them before the sun1 and the moon1      
and all the army of the sky1 which they 
have loved1          and which they have
 served1 and after which they have      
walked1          and which they have    
sought1 and which they have worshiped3  
they shall not be gathered1 nor be      
buried1 they shall be          for dung 
on the surface of the earth4  #jjh3jjc  
,death shall be chosen rather than life 
by all the residue          that remain 
of this evil family1 that remain in all 
the places          where ,i have driven
 them1 says ,yahweh of ,armies4         
#jjh3jjd ,moreover you shall tell them1 
,thus says ,yahweh3  ,shall men fall1   

and not rise up again8  ,shall one turn 
away1 and not return8  #jjh3jje ,why    
then is this people of ,jerusalem       
slidden back by a perpetual             
backsliding8 they hold fast deceit1 they
 refuse to return4  #jjh3jjf ,i listened
 and heard1 but they didn't speak       
aright3          no man repents him of  
his wickedness1 saying1 ,what have ,i   
done8 everyone turns to his course1 as a
 horse that rushes          headlong in 
the battle4  #jjh3jjg ,yes1 the stork in
 the sky knows her appointed times2     
and the turtledove and the swallow and  
the crane observe the time          of  
their coming2 but my people don't know  
,yahweh's law4  #jjh3jjh ,how do you    
say1 ,we are wise1 and the law of       
,yahweh is with us8          ,but1      
behold1 the false pen of the scribes has
 worked falsely4  #jjh3jji ,the wise men
 are disappointed1 they are dismayed and
 taken3          behold1 they have      
rejected the word of ,yahweh2 and what  
manner          of wisdom is in them8   

#jjh3jaj ,therefore will ,i give their  
wives to others1 and their              
fields to those who shall possess them3 
for everyone from          the least    
even to the greatest is given to        
covetousness2          from the prophet 
even to the priest every one deals      
falsely4  #jjh3jaa ,they have healed the
 hurt of the daughter of my people      
slightly1          saying1 ,peace1      
peace2 when there is no peace4  #jjh3jab
 ,were they ashamed when they had       
committed abomination8 nay1             
they were not at all ashamed1 neither   
could they blush3          therefore    
shall they fall among those who fall2 in
 the time          of their visitation  
they shall be cast down1 says ,yahweh4  
#jjh3jac ,i will utterly consume them1  
says ,yahweh3  there shall be no        
grapes on the vine1 nor figs on the fig 
tree1 and the leaf          shall fade2 
and the things that ,i have given them  
shall          pass away from them4     
#jjh3jad ,why do we sit still8          

,assemble yourselves1 and let us enter  
into the fortified cities1 and let us be
 silent there2          for ,yahweh our 
,god has put us to silence1 and given us
 water          of gall to drink1       
because we have sinned against ,yahweh4 
#jjh3jae ,we looked for peace1 but no   
good came2 and for a time of healing1   
and behold1 dismay6  #jjh3jaf ,the      
snorting of his horses is heard from    
,dan3  at the sound          of the     
neighing of his strong ones the whole   
land trembles2          for they are    
come1 and have devoured the land and all
 that is in it2          the city and   
those who dwell therein4  #jjh3jag ,for1
 behold1 ,i will send serpents1 adders1 
among you1 which will          not be   
charmed2 and they shall bite you1 says  
,yahweh4  #jjh3jah ,oh that ,i could    
comfort myself against sorrow6  ,my     
heart          is faint within me4      
#jjh3jai ,behold1 the voice of the cry  
of the daughter of my people from a land
          that is very far off3  isn't  

,yahweh in ,zion8  ,isn't her ,king in  
her8          ,why have they provoked me
 to anger with their engraved images1   
and with foreign vanities8  #jjh3jbj    
,the harvest is past1 the summer is     
ended1 and we are not saved4  #jjh3jba  
,for the hurt of the daughter of my     
people am ,i hurt3          ,i mourn2   
dismay has taken hold on me4  #jjh3jbb  
,is there no balm in ,gilead8 is there  
no physician there8 why          then   
isn't the health of the daughter of my  
people recovered8  #jji3jja ,oh that my 
head were waters1 and my eyes a spring  
of tears1          that ,i might weep   
day and night for the slain of the      
daughter          of my people6         
#jji3jjb ,oh that ,i had in the         
wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring 
men2          that ,i might leave my    
people1 and go from them6 for they      
are all adulterers1 an assembly of      
treacherous men4  #jji3jjc ,they bend   
their tongue1 as it were their bow1 for 
falsehood2          and they are grown  

strong in the land1 but not for truth3  
for they proceed from evil to evil1 and 
they don't          know me1 says       
,yahweh4  #jji3jjd ,take you heed       
everyone of his neighbor1 and don't you 
trust          in any brother2 for every
 brother will utterly supplant1         
and every neighbor will go about with   
slanders4  #jji3jje ,they will deceive  
everyone his neighbor1 and will not     
speak          the truth3  they have    
taught their tongue to speak lies2      
they weary themselves to commit         
iniquity4  #jji3jjf ,your habitation is 
in the midst of deceit2 through deceit  
they          refuse to know me1 says   
,yahweh4  #jji3jjg ,therefore thus says 
,yahweh of ,armies1 ,behold1 ,i will    
melt them1          and try them2 for   
how else should ,i do1 because of the   
daughter          of my people8         
#jji3jjh ,their tongue is a deadly      
arrow2 it speaks deceit3          one   
speaks peaceably to his neighbor with   
his mouth1          but in his heart he 

lays wait for him4  #jji3jji ,shall ,i  
not visit them for these things8 says   
,yahweh2          shall not my soul be  
avenged on such a nation as this8       
#jji3jaj ,for the mountains will ,i take
 up a weeping and wailing1          and 
for the pastures of the wilderness a    
lamentation1          because they are  
burned up1 so that none passes through2 
neither can men hear the voice of the   
livestock2 both the birds          of   
the sky and the animals are fled1 they  
are gone4  #jji3jaa ,i will make        
,jerusalem heaps1 a dwelling place of   
jackals2 and ,i          will make the  
cities of ,judah a desolation1 without  
inhabitant4  #jji3jab ,who is the wise  
man1 that may understand this8 and who  
is          he to whom the mouth of     
,yahweh has spoken1 that he may declare 
it8 why is the land perished and burned 
up like a wilderness1          so that  
none passes through8  #jji3jac ,yahweh  
says1 ,because they have forsaken my law
 which ,i set          before them1 and 

have not obeyed my voice1 neither walked
 therein1  #jji3jad but have walked     
after the stubbornness of their own     
heart1          and after the ,baals1   
which their fathers taught them2        
#jji3jae therefore thus says ,yahweh of 
,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,behold1  
,i          will feed them1 even this   
people1 with wormwood1 and give         
them water of gall to drink4  #jji3jaf  
,i will scatter them also among the     
nations1 whom neither they nor          
their fathers have known2 and ,i will   
send the sword after them1              
until ,i have consumed them4  #jji3jag  
,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 ,consider
 you1 and call for the mourning         
women1 that they may come2 and send for 
the skillful women1          that they  
may come3  #jji3jah and let them make   
haste1 and take up a wailing for us1    
that our eyes may run down with tears1  
and our eyelids gush          out with  
waters4  #jji3jai ,for a voice of       
wailing is heard out of ,zion1 ,how are 

we ruined6          we are greatly      
confounded1 because we have forsaken the
 land1          because they have cast  
down our dwellings4  #jji3jbj ,yet hear 
the word of ,yahweh1 you women1 and let 
your ear receive          the word of   
his mouth2 and teach your daughters     
wailing1          and everyone her      
neighbor lamentation4  #jji3jba ,for    
death is come up into our windows1 it is
 entered into our palaces2          to  
cut off the children from outside1 and  
the young men          from the streets4
  #jji3jbb ,speak1 ,thus says ,yahweh1  
,the dead bodies of men shall fall as   
dung          on the open field1 and as 
the handful after the harvester2        
and none shall gather them4  #jji3jbc   
,thus says ,yahweh1 ,don't let the wise 
man glory in his wisdom1                
neither let the mighty man glory in his 
might1 don't let          the rich man  
glory in his riches2  #jji3jbd but let  
him who glories glory in this1 that he  
has understanding1          and knows   

me1 that ,i am ,yahweh who exercises    
loving          kindness1 justice1 and  
righteousness1 in the earth3            
for in these things ,i delight1 says    
,yahweh4  #jji3jbe ,behold1 the days    
come1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will punish 
all          those who are circumcised  
in their uncircumcision3  #jji3jbf      
,egypt1 and ,judah1 and ,edom1 and the  
children of ,ammon1 and ,moab1          
and all that have the corners of their  
hair cut off1 who dwell          in the 
wilderness2 for all the nations are     
uncircumcised1          and all the     
house of ,israel are uncircumcised in   
heart4  #jaj3jja ,hear the word which   
,yahweh speaks to you1 house of ,israel6
  #jaj3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,don't   
learn the way of the nations1           
and don't be dismayed at the signs of   
the sky2 for the nations          are   
dismayed at them4  #jaj3jjc ,for the    
customs of the peoples are vanity2 for  
one cuts a tree          out of the     
forest1 the work of the hands of the    

workman          with the axe4  #jaj3jjd
 ,they deck it with silver and with     
gold2 they fasten it with nails         
and with hammers1 that it not move4     
#jaj3jje ,they are like a palm tree1 of 
turned work1 and don't speak3           
they must be carried1 because they can't
 go4  ,don't be afraid          of them2
 for they can't do evil1 neither is it  
in them          to do good4  #jaj3jjf  
,there is none like you1 ,yahweh2 you   
are great1 and your name          is    
great in might4  #jaj3jjg ,who should   
not fear you1 ,king of the nations8 for 
to you does          it appertain2      
because among all the wise men of the   
nations1          and in all their royal
 estate1 there is none like you4        
#jaj3jjh ,but they are together brutish 
and foolish3  the instruction           
of idols6 it is but a stock4  #jaj3jji  
,there is silver beaten into plates1    
which is brought from ,tarshish1        
and gold from ,uphaz1 the work of the   
artificer and of the hands          of  

the goldsmith2 blue and purple for their
 clothing2          they are all the    
work of skillful men4  #jaj3jaj ,but    
,yahweh is the true ,god2 he is the     
living ,god1          and an everlasting
 ,king3  at his wrath the earth         
trembles1          and the nations are  
not able to abide his indignation4      
#jaj3jaa ,thus shall you say to them1   
,the gods that have not made            
the heavens and the earth1 these shall  
perish from the earth1          and from
 under the heavens4  #jaj3jab ,he has   
made the earth by his power1 he has     
established the world          by his   
wisdom1 and by his understanding has he 
stretched          out the heavens3     
#jaj3jac when he utters his voice1 there
 is a tumult of waters in the heavens1  
and he causes the vapors to ascend from 
the ends of the earth2          he makes
 lightnings for the rain1 and brings    
forth the wind          out of his      
treasuries4  #jaj3jad ,every man is     
become brutish and is without knowledge2

          every goldsmith is            
disappointed by his engraved image2     
for his molten image is falsehood1 and  
there is no breath in them4  #jaj3jae   
,they are vanity1 a work of delusion3   
in the time of their          visitation
 they shall perish4  #jaj3jaf ,the      
portion of ,jacob is not like these2 for
 he is the former          of all       
things2 and ,israel is the tribe of his 
inheritance3          ,yahweh of ,armies
 is his name4  #jaj3jag ,gather up your 
wares out of the land1 you who abide in 
the siege4  #jaj3jah ,for thus says     
,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will sling out the 
inhabitants          of the land at this
 time1 and will distress them1 that they
          may feel it4  #jaj3jai ,woe is
 me because of my hurt6 my wound is     
grievous3          but ,i said1 ,truly  
this is my grief1 and ,i must bear it4  
#jaj3jbj ,my tent is destroyed1 and all 
my cords are broken3          my        
children are gone forth from me1 and    
they are no more3          there is none

 to spread my tent any more1 and to set 
up my curtains4  #jaj3jba ,for the      
shepherds are become brutish1 and have  
not inquired          of ,yahweh3       
therefore they have not prospered1 and  
all their          flocks are scattered4
  #jaj3jbb ,the voice of news1 behold1  
it comes1 and a great commotion out     
of the north country1 to make the cities
 of ,judah a desolation1          a     
dwelling place of jackals4  #jaj3jbc    
,yahweh1 ,i know that the way of man is 
not in himself3          it is not in   
man who walks to direct his steps4      
#jaj3jbd ,yahweh1 correct me1 but in    
measure3  not in your anger1            
lest you bring me to nothing4  #jaj3jbe 
,pour out your wrath on the nations that
 don't know you1          and on the    
families that don't call on your name3  
for they have devoured ,jacob1 yes1 they
 have devoured him          and consumed
 him1 and have laid waste his           
habitation4  #jaa3jja ,the word that    
came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 saying1 

#jaa3jjb ,hear you the words of this    
covenant1 and speak to the men of       
,judah1          and to the inhabitants 
of ,jerusalem2  #jaa3jjc and say you to 
them1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of   
,israel3  ,cursed be          the man   
who doesn't hear the words of this      
covenant1  #jaa3jjd which ,i commanded  
your fathers in the day that ,i brought 
them          forth out of the land of  
,egypt1 out of the iron furnace1 saying1
          ,obey my voice1 and do them1  
according to all which ,i command you3  
so shall you be my people1 and ,i will  
be your ,god2  #jaa3jje that ,i may     
establish the oath which ,i swore to    
your fathers1          to give them a   
land flowing with milk and honey1 as at 
this day4          ,then answered ,i1   
and said1 ,amen1 ,yahweh4  #jaa3jjf     
,yahweh said to me1 ,proclaim all these 
words in the cities of ,judah1          
and in the streets of ,jerusalem1       
saying1 ,hear you the words          of 
this covenant1 and do them4  #jaa3jjg   

,for ,i earnestly protested to your     
fathers in the day that ,i              
brought them up out of the land of      
,egypt1 even to this day1               
rising early and protesting1 saying1    
,obey my voice4  #jaa3jjh ,yet they     
didn't obey1 nor turn their ear1 but    
walked          everyone in the         
stubbornness of their evil heart3       
therefore ,i brought on them all the    
words of this covenant1          which  
,i commanded them to do1 but they didn't
 do them4  #jaa3jji ,yahweh said to me1 
,a conspiracy is found among the men of 
,judah1          and among the          
inhabitants of ,jerusalem4  #jaa3jaj    
,they are turned back to the iniquities 
of their forefathers1          who      
refused to hear my words2 and they are  
gone after other gods          to serve 
them3  the house of ,israel and the     
house of ,judah          have broken my 
covenant which ,i made with their       
fathers4  #jaa3jaa ,therefore thus says 
,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will bring evil on 

them1          which they shall not be  
able to escape2 and they shall cry to   
me1          but ,i will not listen to  
them4  #jaa3jab ,then shall the cities  
of ,judah and the inhabitants of        
,jerusalem          go and cry to the   
gods to which they offer incense3       
but they will not save them at all in   
the time of their trouble4  #jaa3jac    
,for according to the number of your    
cities are your gods1 ,judah2           
and according to the number of the      
streets of ,jerusalem have          you 
set up altars to the shameful thing1    
even altars to burn          incense to 
,baal4  #jaa3jad ,therefore don't you   
pray for this people1 neither lift up   
cry          nor prayer for them2 for ,i
 will not hear them in the time         
that they cry to me because of their    
trouble4  #jaa3jae ,what has my beloved 
to do in my house1 seeing she has worked
          lewdness with many1 and the   
holy flesh is passed from you8          
when you do evil1 then you rejoice4     

#jaa3jaf ,yahweh called your name1 ,a   
green olive tree1 beautiful with        
goodly fruit3  with the noise of a great
 tumult he has kindled          fire on 
it1 and the branches of it are broken4  
#jaa3jag ,for ,yahweh of ,armies1 who   
planted you1 has pronounced evil        
against you1 because of the evil of the 
house of ,israel and          of the    
house of ,judah1 which they have worked 
for themselves          in provoking me 
to anger by offering incense to ,baal4  
#jaa3jah ,yahweh gave me knowledge of   
it1 and ,i knew it3  then you shown     
me their doings4  #jaa3jai ,but ,i was  
like a gentle lamb that is led to the   
slaughter2          and ,i didn't know  
that they had devised devices against   
me1          saying1 ,let us destroy the

 let us cut him off from the land of the
 living1 that his          name may be  
no more remembered4  #jaa3jbj ,but1     
,yahweh of ,armies1 who judges          
righteously1 who tests          the     

heart and the mind1 ,i shall see your   
vengeance on them2          for to you  
have ,i revealed my cause4  #jaa3jba    
,therefore thus says ,yahweh concerning 
the men of ,anathoth1          who seek 
your life1 saying1 ,you shall not       
prophesy in the name          of        
,yahweh1 that you not die by our hand2  
#jaa3jbb therefore thus says ,yahweh of 
,armies1 ,behold1 ,i will punish them3  
the young men shall die by the sword2   
their sons and their          daughters 
shall die by famine2  #jaa3jbc and there
 shall be no remnant to them3  for ,i   
will bring evil          on the men of  
,anathoth1 even the year of their       
visitation4  #jab3jja ,righteous are    
you1 ,yahweh1 when ,i contend with you2 
yet would          ,i reason the cause  
with you3  why does the way of the      
wicked          prosper8 why are all    
they at ease who deal very              
treacherously8  #jab3jjb ,you have      
planted them1 yes1 they have taken root2
 they grow1          yes1 they bring    

forth fruit3  you are near in their     
mouth1          and far from their      
heart4  #jab3jjc ,but you1 ,yahweh1 know
 me2 you see me1 and try my heart toward
 you3          pull them out like sheep 
for the slaughter1 and prepare them     
for the day of slaughter4  #jab3jjd ,how
 long shall the land mourn1 and the     
herbs of the whole          country     
wither8 for the wickedness of those who 
dwell therein1          the animals are 
consumed1 and the birds2 because they   
said1          ,he shall not see our    
latter end4  #jab3jje ,if you have run  
with the footmen1 and they have wearied 
you1          then how can you contend  
with horses8 and though in a land       
of peace you are secure1 yet how will   
you do in the pride          of the     
,jordan8  #jab3jjf ,for even your       
brothers1 and the house of your father1 
even they          have dealt           
treacherously with you2 even they have  
cried aloud          after you3  don't  
believe them1 though they speak         

beautiful          words to you4        
#jab3jjg ,i have forsaken my house1 ,i  
have cast off my heritage2          ,i  
have given the dearly beloved of my soul
 into the hand          of her enemies4 
#jab3jjh ,my heritage is become to me as
 a lion in the forest3          she has 
uttered her voice against me2 therefore 
,i have hated her4  #jab3jji ,is my     
heritage to me as a speckled bird of    
prey8 are the birds          of prey    
against her round about8 go you1        
assemble all the animals          of the
 field1 bring them to devour4  #jab3jaj 
,many shepherds have destroyed my       
vineyard1 they have trodden          my 
portion under foot1 they have made my   
pleasant portion          a desolate    
wilderness4  #jab3jaa ,they have made it
 a desolation2 it mourns to me1 being   
desolate2          the whole land is    
made desolate1 because no man lays it to
 heart4  #jab3jab ,destroyers are come  
on all the bare heights in the          
wilderness2          for the sword of   

,yahweh devours from the one end of the 
land          even to the other end of  
the land3  no flesh has peace4  #jab3jac
 ,they have sown wheat1 and have reaped 
thorns2          they have put          
themselves to pain1 and profit nothing3 
and you shall be ashamed of your fruits1
 because of the fierce          anger of
 ,yahweh4  #jab3jad ,thus says ,yahweh  
against all my evil neighbors1 who touch
          the inheritance which ,i have 
caused my people ,israel to inherit3    
behold1 ,i will pluck them up from off  
their land1 and will          pluck up  
the house of ,judah from among them4    
#jab3jae ,it shall happen1 after that ,i
 have plucked them up1 ,i will return   
and have compassion on them2 and ,i will
 bring them again1          every man to
 his heritage1 and every man to his     
land4  #jab3jaf ,it shall happen1 if    
they will diligently learn the ways     
of my people1 to swear by my name1 ,as  
,yahweh lives2          even as they    
taught my people to swear by ,baal2 then

 shall          they be built up in the 
midst of my people4  #jab3jag ,but if   
they will not hear1 then will ,i pluck  
up that nation1          plucking up and
 destroying it1 says ,yahweh4  #jac3jja 
,thus says ,yahweh to me1 ,go1 and buy  
you a linen belt1 and put          it on
 your waist1 and don't put it in water4 
#jac3jjb ,so ,i bought a belt according 
to the word of ,yahweh1 and put         
it on my waist4  #jac3jjc ,the word of  
,yahweh came to me the second time1     
saying1  #jac3jjd ,take the belt that   
you have bought1 which is on your waist1
          and arise1 go to the          
,euphrates1 and hide it there in a cleft
          of the rock4  #jac3jje ,so ,i 
went1 and hid it by the ,euphrates1 as  
,yahweh commanded me4  #jac3jjf ,it     
happened after many days1 that ,yahweh  
said to me1 ,arise1          go to the  
,euphrates1 and take the belt from      
there1 which ,i          commanded you  
to hide there4  #jac3jjg ,then ,i went  
to the ,euphrates1 and dug1 and took the

 belt from          the place where ,i  
had hid it2 and behold1 the belt was    
marred1          it was profitable for  
nothing4  #jac3jjh ,then the word of    
,yahweh came to me1 saying1  #jac3jji   
,thus says ,yahweh1 ,after this manner  
will ,i mar the pride of ,judah1        
and the great pride of ,jerusalem4      
#jac3jaj ,this evil people1 who refuse  
to hear my words1 who walk in           
the stubbornness of their heart1 and are
 gone after other gods          to serve
 them1 and to worship them1 shall even  
be as this belt1          which is      
profitable for nothing4  #jac3jaa ,for  
as the belt cleaves to the waist of a   
man1 so have ,i caused          to      
cleave to me the whole house of ,israel 
and the whole house          of ,judah1 
says ,yahweh2 that they may be to me for
 a people1          and for a name1 and 
for a praise1 and for a glory3          
but they would not hear4  #jac3jab      
,therefore you shall speak to them this 
word3  ,thus says ,yahweh1          the 

,god of ,israel1 ,every bottle shall be 
filled with wine3          and they     
shall tell you1 ,do we not certainly    
know that every          bottle shall be
 filled with wine8  #jac3jac ,then shall
 you tell them1 ,thus says ,yahweh1     
,behold1 ,i will fill          all the  
inhabitants of this land1 even the kings
 who sit          on ,david's throne1   
and the priests1 and the prophets1      
and all the inhabitants of ,jerusalem1  
with drunkenness4  #jac3jad ,i will dash
 them one against another1 even the     
fathers and          the sons together1 
says ,yahweh3  ,i will not pity1 nor    
spare1          nor have compassion1    
that ,i should not destroy them4        
#jac3jae ,hear you1 and give ear2 don't 
be proud2 for ,yahweh has spoken4       
#jac3jaf ,give glory to ,yahweh your    
,god1 before he cause darkness1         
and before your feet stumble on the dark
 mountains1 and1          while you look
 for light1 he turn it into the shadow  
of death1          and make it gross    

darkness4  #jac3jag ,but if you will not
 hear it1 my soul shall weep in secret  
for your pride2 and my eye shall weep   
sore1 and run down          with tears1 
because ,yahweh's flock is taken        
captive4  #jac3jah ,say you to the king 
and to the queen mother1 ,humble        
yourselves1          sit down2 for your 
headdresses are come down1 even the     
crown          of your glory4  #jac3jai 
,the cities of the ,south are shut up1  
and there is none to open them3         
,judah is carried away captive1 all of  
it2 it is wholly          carried away  
captive4  #jac3jbj ,lift up your eyes1  
and see those who come from the north3  
where is the flock that was given you1  
your beautiful flock8  #jac3jba ,what   
will you say1 when he shall set over you
 as head those          whom you have   
yourself taught to be friends to you8   
shall          not sorrows take hold of 
you1 as of a woman in travail8  #jac3jbb
 ,if you say in your heart1 ,why are    
these things come on me8          for   

the greatness of your iniquity are your 
skirts uncovered1          and your     
heels suffer violence4  #jac3jbc ,can   
the ,ethiopian change his skin1 or the  
leopard his spots8          then may you
 also do good1 who are accustomed to do 
evil4  #jac3jbd ,therefore will ,i      
scatter them1 as the stubble that passes
 away1          by the wind of the      
wilderness4  #jac3jbe ,this is your lot1
 the portion measured to you from me1   
says ,yahweh2          because you have 
forgotten me1 and trusted in falsehood4 
#jac3jbf ,therefore will ,i also uncover
 your skirts on your face1          and 
your shame shall appear4  #jac3jbg ,i   
have seen your abominations1 even your  
adulteries1          and your neighing1 
the lewdness of your prostitution1      
on the hills in the field4  ,woe to you1
 ,jerusalem6 you will          not be   
made clean2 how long shall it yet be8   
#jad3jja ,the word of ,yahweh that came 
to ,jeremiah concerning the drought4    
#jad3jjb ,judah mourns1 and the gates of

 it languish1 they sit in black         
on the ground2 and the cry of ,jerusalem
 is gone up4  #jad3jjc ,their nobles    
send their little ones to the waters3   
they come to the cisterns1 and find no  
water2 they return          with their  
vessels empty2 they are disappointed and
 confounded1          and cover their   
heads4  #jad3jjd ,because of the ground 
which is cracked1 because no rain       
has been in the land1 the plowmen are   
disappointed1          they cover their 
heads4  #jad3jje ,yes1 the hind also in 
the field calves1 and forsakes her      
young1          because there is no     
grass4  #jad3jjf ,the wild donkeys stand
 on the bare heights1 they pant for air 
like jackals2 their eyes fail1 because  
there is no herbage4  #jad3jjg ,though  
our iniquities testify against us1 work 
you for          your name's sake1      
,yahweh2 for our backslidings are many2 
we have sinned against you4  #jad3jjh   
,you hope of ,israel1 the ,savior of it 
in the time of trouble1          why    

should you be as a foreigner in the     
land1 and as a wayfaring          man   
who turns aside to stay for a night8    
#jad3jji ,why should you be like a      
scared man1 as a mighty man who can't   
save8 yet you1 ,yahweh1 are in the midst
 of us1 and we are          called by   
your name2 don't leave us4  #jad3jaj    
,thus says ,yahweh to this people1 ,even
 so have they loved to wander2          
they have not refrained their feet3     
therefore ,yahweh does          not     
accept them2 now he will remember their 
iniquity1          and visit their sins4
  #jad3jaa ,yahweh said to me1 ,don't   
pray for this people for their good4    
#jad3jab ,when they fast1 ,i will not   
hear their cry2 and when they offer     
burnt offering and meal offering1 ,i    
will not accept them2          but ,i   
will consume them by the sword1 and by  
the famine1          and by the         
pestilence4  #jad3jac ,then said ,i1    
,ah1 ,lord ,yahweh6 behold1 the prophets
 tell them1          ,you shall not see 

the sword1 neither shall you have       
famine2          but ,i will give you   
assured peace in this place4  #jad3jad  
,then ,yahweh said to me1 ,the prophets 
prophesy lies in my name2          ,i   
didn't send them1 neither have ,i       
commanded them1 neither spoke           
,i to them3  they prophesy to you a     
lying vision1 and divination1           
and a thing of nothing1 and the deceit  
of their own heart4  #jad3jae ,therefore
 thus says ,yahweh concerning the       
prophets          who prophesy in my    
name1 and ,i didn't send them1          
yet they say1 ,sword and famine shall   
not be in this land3          ,by sword 
and famine shall those prophets be      
consumed4  #jad3jaf ,the people to whom 
they prophesy shall be cast out in the  
streets of ,jerusalem because of the    
famine and the sword2          and they 
shall have none to bury them--them1     
their wives1          nor their sons1   
nor their daughters3  for ,i will pour  
their          wickedness on them4      

#jad3jag ,you shall say this word to    
them1 ,let my eyes run down with        
tears night and day1 and let them not   
cease2 for the virgin          daughter 
of my people is broken with a great     
breach1          with a very grievous   
wound4  #jad3jah ,if ,i go forth into   
the field1 then1 behold1 the slain with 
the sword6 and if ,i enter into the     
city1 then1 behold1 those who           
are sick with famine6 for both the      
prophet and the priest go          about
 in the land1 and have no knowledge4    
#jad3jai ,have you utterly rejected     
,judah8 has your soul loathed ,zion8    
why have you struck us1 and there is no 
healing for us8          ,we looked for 
peace1 but no good came2 and for a time 
of healing1          and behold1 dismay6
  #jad3jbj ,we acknowledge1 ,yahweh1 our
 wickedness1 and the iniquity           
of our fathers2 for we have sinned      
against you4  #jad3jba ,do not abhor us1
 for your name's sake2 do not disgrace  
the throne          of your glory3      

remember1 don't break your covenant with
 us4  #jad3jbb ,are there any among the 
vanities of the nations that can        
cause rain8 or can the sky give showers8
  ,aren't you he1          ,yahweh our  
,god8 therefore we will wait for you2   
for you          have made all these    
things4  #jae3jja ,then said ,yahweh to 
me1 ,though ,moses and ,samuel stood    
before me1 yet my mind would not be     
toward this people3          cast them  
out of my sight1 and let them go forth4 
#jae3jjb ,it shall happen1 when they    
tell you1 ,where shall we go            
forth8 then you shall tell them1 ,thus  
says ,yahweh3  ,such as          are for
 death1 to death2 and such as are for   
the sword1          to the sword2 and   
such as are for the famine1 to the      
famine2          and such as are for    
captivity1 to captivity4  #jae3jjc ,i   
will appoint over them four kinds1 says 
,yahweh3          the sword to kill1 and
 the dogs to tear1 and the birds of the 
sky1          and the animals of the    

earth1 to devour and to destroy4        
#jae3jjd ,i will cause them to be tossed
 back and forth among all the kingdoms  
of the earth1 because of ,manasseh1 the 
son of ,hezekiah1          king of      
,judah1 for that which he did in        
,jerusalem4  #jae3jje ,for who will have
 pity on you1 ,jerusalem8 or who will   
bemoan          you8 or who will turn   
aside to ask of your welfare8  #jae3jjf 
,you have rejected me1 says ,yahweh1 you
 are gone backward3          therefore  
have ,i stretched out my hand against   
you1          and destroyed you2 ,i am  
weary with repenting4  #jae3jjg ,i have 
winnowed them with a fan in the gates of
 the land2          ,i have bereaved    
them of children1 ,i have destroyed my  
people2          they didn't return from
 their ways4  #jae3jjh ,their widows are
 increased to me above the sand of the  
seas2          ,i have brought on them  
against the mother of the young men     
a destroyer at noonday3  ,i have caused 
anguish and terrors          to fall on 

her suddenly4  #jae3jji ,she who has    
borne seven languishes2 she has given up
 the spirit2          her sun is gone   
down while it was yet day2 she has been 
disappointed and confounded3  and the   
residue of them will ,i          deliver
 to the sword before their enemies1 says
 ,yahweh4  #jae3jaj ,woe is me1 my      
mother1 that you have borne me a man    
of strife and a man of contention to the
 whole earth6          ,i have not lent1
 neither have men lent to me2 yet       
everyone          of them does curse me4
  #jae3jaa ,yahweh said1 ,most certainly
 ,i will strengthen you for good2       
most certainly ,i will cause the enemy  
to make supplication          to you in 
the time of evil and in the time of     
affliction4  #jae3jab ,can one break    
iron1 even iron from the north1 and     
brass8  #jae3jac ,your substance and    
your treasures will ,i give for a spoil 
without price1 and that for all your    
sins1 even in all your borders4         
#jae3jad ,i will make them to pass with 

your enemies into a land          which 
you don't know2 for a fire is kindled in
 my anger1          which shall burn on 
you4  #jae3jae ,yahweh1 you know2       
remember me1 and visit me1 and avenge me
          of my persecutors2 don't take 
me away in your longsuffering3          
know that for your sake ,i have suffered
 reproach4  #jae3jaf ,your words were   
found1 and ,i ate them2 and your words  
were          to me a joy and the       
rejoicing of my heart3  for ,i am called
          by your name1 ,yahweh1 ,god of
 ,armies4  #jae3jag ,i didn't sit in the
 assembly of those who make merry1 nor  
rejoiced2          ,i sat alone because 
of your hand2 for you have filled       
me with indignation4  #jae3jah ,why is  
my pain perpetual1 and my wound         
incurable1 which refuses          to be 
healed8 will you indeed be to me as a   
deceitful brook1          as waters that
 fail8  #jae3jai ,therefore thus says   
,yahweh1 ,if you return1 then will ,i   
bring          you again1 that you may  

stand before me2 and if you take        
forth the precious from the vile1 you   
shall be as my mouth3          they     
shall return to you1 but you shall not  
return to them4  #jae3jbj ,i will make  
you to this people a fortified bronze   
wall2 and they          shall fight     
against you1 but they shall not prevail 
against you2          for ,i am with you
 to save you and to deliver you1 says   
,yahweh4  #jae3jba ,i will deliver you  
out of the hand of the wicked1 and ,i   
will          redeem you out of the hand
 of the terrible4  #jaf3jja ,the word of
 ,yahweh came also to me1 saying1       
#jaf3jjb ,you shall not take a wife1    
neither shall you have sons or          
daughters1          in this place4      
#jaf3jjc ,for thus says ,yahweh         
concerning the sons and concerning      
the daughters who are born in this      
place1 and concerning          their    
mothers who bore them1 and concerning   
their fathers          who became the   
father of them in this land3  #jaf3jjd  

,they shall die grievous deaths3  they  
shall not be lamented1          neither 
shall they be buried2 they shall be as  
dung on the surface          of the     
ground2 and they shall be consumed by   
the sword1          and by famine2 and  
their dead bodies shall be food for the 
birds          of the sky1 and for the  
animals of the earth4  #jaf3jje ,for    
thus says ,yahweh1 ,don't enter into the
 house of mourning1          neither go 
to lament1 neither bemoan them2 for ,i  
have taken          away my peace from  
this people1 says ,yahweh1 even loving  
kindness and tender mercies4  #jaf3jjf  
,both great and small shall die in this 
land2 they shall not          be buried1
 neither shall men lament for them1 nor 
cut themselves1          nor make       
themselves bald for them2  #jaf3jjg     
neither shall men break bread for them  
in mourning1          to comfort them   
for the dead2 neither shall men give    
them the cup          of consolation to 
drink for their father or for their     

mother4  #jaf3jjh ,you shall not go into
 the house of feasting to sit with them1
          to eat and to drink4  #jaf3jji
 ,for thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the 
,god of ,israel3  ,behold1 ,i will      
cause to cease out of this place1 before
 your eyes and in          your days1   
the voice of mirth and the voice of     
gladness1          the voice of the     
bridegroom and the voice of the bride4  
#jaf3jaj ,it shall happen1 when you     
shall show this people all these words1 
and they shall tell you1 ,why has       
,yahweh pronounced all this             
great evil against us8 or what is our   
iniquity8 or what is          our sin   
that we have committed against ,yahweh  
our ,god8  #jaf3jaa ,then shall you tell
 them1 ,because your fathers have       
forsaken me1          says ,yahweh1 and 
have walked after other gods1 and have  
served them1 and have worshiped them1   
and have forsaken me1          and have 
not kept my law2  #jaf3jab and you have 
done evil more than your fathers2 for1  

behold1          you walk every one     
after the stubbornness of his evil      
heart1          so that you don't listen
 to me3  #jaf3jac therefore will ,i cast
 you forth out of this land into the    
land          that you have not known1  
neither you nor your fathers2           
and there shall you serve other gods day
 and night2          for ,i will show   
you no favor4  #jaf3jad ,therefore1     
behold1 the days come1 says ,yahweh1    
that it shall          no more be said1 
,as ,yahweh lives1 who brought up the   
children          of ,israel out of the 
land of ,egypt2  #jaf3jae but1 ,as      
,yahweh lives1 who brought up the       
children of ,israel          from the   
land of the north1 and from all the     
countries where          he had driven  
them4  ,i will bring them again into    
their land          that ,i gave to     
their fathers4  #jaf3jaf ,behold1 ,i    
will send for many fishermen1 says      
,yahweh1 and they          shall fish   
them up2 and afterward ,i will send for 

many hunters1          and they shall   
hunt them from every mountain1 and from 
every hill1          and out of the     
clefts of the rocks4  #jaf3jag ,for my  
eyes are on all their ways2 they are not
 hidden from          my face1 neither  
is their iniquity concealed from my     
eyes4  #jaf3jah ,first ,i will          
recompense their iniquity and their sin 
double1          because they have      
polluted my land with the carcasses     
of their detestable things1 and have    
filled my inheritance          with     
their abominations4  #jaf3jai ,yahweh1  
my strength1 and my stronghold1 and my  
refuge in the day          of           
affliction1 to you shall the nations    
come from the ends          of the      
earth1 and shall say1 ,our fathers have 
inherited          nothing but lies1    
even vanity and things in which there   
is no profit4  #jaf3jbj ,shall a man    
make to himself gods1 which yet are no  
gods8  #jaf3jba ,therefore1 behold1 ,i  
will cause them to know1 this once will 

,i          cause them to know my hand  
and my might2 and they shall know       
that my name is ,yahweh4  #jag3jja ,the 
sin of ,judah is written with a pen of  
iron1 and with the point          of a  
diamond3  it is engraved on the tablet  
of their heart1          and on the     
horns of your altars2  #jag3jjb while   
their children remember their altars and
 their ,asherim          by the green   
trees on the high hills4  #jag3jjc ,my  
mountain in the field1 ,i will give your
 substance and all your                 
treasures for a spoil1 and your high    
places1 because of sin1                 
throughout all your borders4  #jag3jjd  
,you1 even of yourself1 shall           
discontinue from your heritage          
that ,i gave you2 and ,i will cause you 
to serve your enemies          in the   
land which you don't know3  for you have
 kindled a fire          in my anger    
which shall burn forever4  #jag3jje     
,thus says ,yahweh3  ,cursed is the man 
who trusts in man1          and makes   

flesh his arm1 and whose heart departs  
from ,yahweh4  #jag3jjf ,for he shall be
 like the heath in the desert1 and shall
 not          see when good comes1 but  
shall inhabit the parched places        
in the wilderness1 a salt land and not  
inhabited4  #jag3jjg ,blessed is the man
 who trusts in ,yahweh1 and whose trust 
,yahweh is4  #jag3jjh ,for he shall be  
as a tree planted by the waters1 who    
spreads          out its roots by the   
river1 and shall not fear when heat     
comes1          but its leaf shall be   
green2 and shall not be careful in the  
year          of drought1 neither shall 
cease from yielding fruit4  #jag3jji    
,the heart is deceitful above all       
things1 and it is          exceedingly  
corrupt3  who can know it8  #jag3jaj ,i1
 ,yahweh1 search the mind1 ,i try the   
heart1 even to give          every man  
according to his ways1 according to the 
fruit          of his doings4  #jag3jaa 
,as the partridge that sits on eggs     
which she has not laid1          so is  

he who gets riches1 and not by right2 in
 the midst          of his days they    
shall leave him1 and at his end he shall
          be a fool4  #jag3jab ,a       
glorious throne1 set on high from the   
beginning1          is the place of our 
sanctuary4  #jag3jac ,yahweh1 the hope  
of ,israel1 all who forsake you shall   
be disappointed4  ,those who depart from
 me shall be written          in the    
earth1 because they have forsaken       
,yahweh1 the spring          of living  
waters4  #jag3jad ,heal me1 ,o ,yahweh1 
and ,i shall be healed2 save me1 and ,i 
shall          be saved3  for you are my
 praise4  #jag3jae ,behold1 they tell   
me1 ,where is the word of ,yahweh8 let  
it come now4  #jag3jaf ,as for me1 ,i   
have not hurried from being a shepherd  
after you2          neither have ,i     
desired the woeful day2 you know3       
that which came out of my lips was      
before your face4  #jag3jag ,don't be a 
terror to me3  you are my refuge in the 
day of evil4  #jag3jah ,let them be     

disappointed who persecute me1 but let  
not me          be disappointed2 let    
them be dismayed1 but don't let me      
be dismayed2 bring on them the day of   
evil1 and destroy them          with    
double destruction4  #jag3jai ,thus said
 ,yahweh to me3  ,go1 and stand in the  
gate of the children          of the    
people1 through which the kings of      
,judah come in1          and by which   
they go out1 and in all the gates of    
,jerusalem2  #jag3jbj and tell them1    
,hear you the word of ,yahweh1 you kings
 of ,judah1          and all ,judah1 and
 all the inhabitants of ,jerusalem1     
that enter in by these gates3  #jag3jba 
,thus says ,yahweh1 ,take heed to       
yourselves1 and bear no burden          
on the ,sabbath day1 nor bring it in by 
the gates of ,jerusalem2  #jag3jbb      
neither carry forth a burden out of your
 houses on the ,sabbath          day    
holy1 neither do any work3  but make the
 ,sabbath day1          as ,i commanded 
your fathers4  #jag3jbc ,but they didn't

 listen1 neither turn their ear1 but    
made          their neck stiff1 that    
they might not hear1 and might          
not receive instruction4  #jag3jbd ,it  
shall happen1 if you diligently listen  
to me1 says ,yahweh1          to bring  
in no burden through the gates of this  
city          on the ,sabbath day1 but  
to make the ,sabbath day holy1          
to do no work therein2  #jag3jbe then   
shall there enter in by the gates of    
this city          kings and princes    
sitting on the throne of ,david1        
riding in chariots and on horses1 they1 
and their princes1          the men of  
,judah1 and the inhabitants of          
,jerusalem2          and this city shall
 remain forever4  #jag3jbf ,they shall  
come from the cities of ,judah1 and from
 the places          round about        
,jerusalem1 and from the land of        
,benjamin1 and from          the        
lowland1 and from the hill country1 and 
from the ,south1          bringing burnt
 offerings1 and sacrifices1 and meal    

offerings1          and frankincense1   
and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving1
          to the house of ,yahweh4      
#jag3jbg ,but if you will not listen to 
me to make the ,sabbath day holy1       
and not to bear a burden and enter in at
 the gates of ,jerusalem          on the
 ,sabbath day2 then will ,i kindle a    
fire in the gates of it1          and it
 shall devour the palaces of ,jerusalem1
 and it shall          not be quenched4 
#jah3jja ,the word which came to        
,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 saying1         
#jah3jjb ,arise1 and go down to the     
potter's house1 and there ,i will cause 
you to hear my words4  #jah3jjc ,then ,i
 went down to the potter's house1 and   
behold1 he was          making a work on
 the wheels4  #jah3jjd ,when the vessel 
that he made of the clay was marred in  
the hand          of the potter1 he made
 it again another vessel1 as seemed     
good to the potter to make it4  #jah3jje
 ,then the word of ,yahweh came to me1  
saying1  #jah3jjf ,house of ,israel1    

can't ,i do with you as this potter8    
says ,yahweh4          ,behold1 as the  
clay in the potter's hand1 so are you in
 my hand1          house of ,israel4    
#jah3jjg ,at what instant ,i shall speak
 concerning a nation1 and concerning    
a kingdom1 to pluck up and to break down
 and to destroy it2  #jah3jjh if that   
nation1 concerning which ,i have spoken1
 turn from their evil1          ,i will 
repent of the evil that ,i thought to do
 to them4  #jah3jji ,at what instant ,i 
shall speak concerning a nation1 and    
concerning          a kingdom1 to build 
and to plant it2  #jah3jaj if they do   
that which is evil in my sight1 that    
they not obey          my voice1 then ,i
 will repent of the good1 with which ,i 
said          ,i would benefit them4    
#jah3jaa ,now therefore1 speak to the   
men of ,judah1 and to the inhabitants   
of ,jerusalem1 saying1 ,thus says       
,yahweh3  ,behold1 ,i frame             
evil against you1 and devise a device   
against you3          return you now    

everyone from his evil way1 and amend   
your ways          and your doings4     
#jah3jab ,but they say1 ,it is in vain2 
for we will walk after our          own 
devices1 and we will do everyone after  
the stubbornness          of his evil   
heart4  #jah3jac ,therefore thus says   
,yahweh3  ,ask you now among the        
nations1          who has heard such    
things2 the virgin of ,israel has done  
a very horrible thing4  #jah3jad ,shall 
the snow of ,lebanon fail from the rock 
of the field8 or          shall the cold
 waters that flow down from afar be     
dried up8  #jah3jae ,for my people have 
forgotten me1 they have burned incense  
to          false gods2 and they have   
been made to stumble in their ways1     
in the ancient paths1 to walk in byways1
 in a way not built up2  #jah3jaf to    
make their land an astonishment1 and a  
perpetual hissing2          everyone who
 passes thereby shall be astonished1    
and shake his head4  #jah3jag ,i will   
scatter them as with an east wind before

 the enemy2          ,i will show them  
the back1 and not the face1 in the day  
of their calamity4  #jah3jah ,then said 
they1 ,come1 and let us devise devices  
against ,jeremiah2          for the law 
shall not perish from the priest1 nor   
counsel          from the wise1 nor the 
word from the prophet4  ,come1 and let  
us strike him with the tongue1 and let  
us not give heed          to any of his 
words4  #jah3jai ,give heed to me1      
,yahweh1 and listen to the voice of     
those who          contend with me4     
#jah3jbj ,shall evil be recompensed for 
good8 for they have dug a pit           
for my soul4  ,remember how ,i stood    
before you to speak good          for   
them1 to turn away your wrath from them4
  #jah3jba ,therefore deliver up their  
children to the famine1 and give        
them over to the power of the sword2 and
 let their wives          become        
childless1 and widows2 and let their men
 be slain of death1          and their  
young men struck of the sword in battle4

  #jah3jbb ,let a cry be heard from     
their houses1 when you shall bring      
a troop suddenly on them2 for they have 
dug a pit to take me1          and hid  
snares for my feet4  #jah3jbc ,yet1     
,yahweh1 you know all their counsel     
against me to kill me2          don't   
forgive their iniquity1 neither blot out
 their sin          from your sight2 but
 let them be overthrown before you2     
deal you with them in the time of your  
anger4  #jai3jja ,thus said ,yahweh1    
,go1 and buy a potter's earthen bottle1 
and take of the elders of the people1   
and of the elders          of the       
priests2  #jai3jjb and go forth to the  
valley of the son of ,hinnom1 which is  
by          the entry of the gate       
,harsith1 and proclaim there the words  
that ,i shall tell you2  #jai3jjc and   
say1 ,hear you the word of ,yahweh1     
kings of ,judah1          and           
inhabitants of ,jerusalem3  thus says   
,yahweh of ,armies1          the ,god of
 ,israel1 ,behold1 ,i will bring evil on

 this place1          which whoever     
hears1 his ears shall tingle4  #jai3jjd 
,because they have forsaken me1 and have
 estranged this place1          and have
 burned incense in it to other gods1    
that they          didn't know1 they and
 their fathers and the kings of ,judah2 
and have filled this place with the     
blood of innocents1  #jai3jje and have  
built the high places of ,baal1 to burn 
their sons          in the fire for     
burnt offerings to ,baal2 which ,i      
didn't command1          nor spoke it1  
neither came it into my mind3  #jai3jjf 
therefore1 behold1 the days come1 says  
,yahweh1 that this place          shall 
no more be called ,topheth1 nor ,the    
valley of the son          of ,hinnom1  
but ,the valley of ,slaughter4  #jai3jjg
 ,i will make void the counsel of ,judah
 and ,jerusalem in this place2          
and ,i will cause them to fall by the   
sword before their enemies1          and
 by the hand of those who seek their    
life3  and their dead          bodies   

will ,i give to be food for the birds of
 the sky1          and for the animals  
of the earth4  #jai3jjh ,i will make    
this city an astonishment1 and a        
hissing2          everyone who passes   
thereby shall be astonished and hiss    
because of all the plagues of it4       
#jai3jji ,i will cause them to eat the  
flesh of their sons and          the    
flesh of their daughters2 and they shall
 eat everyone          the flesh of his 
friend1 in the siege and in the         
distress1          with which their     
enemies1 and those who seek their life1 
shall distress them4  #jai3jaj ,then    
shall you break the bottle in the sight 
of the men          who go with you1    
#jai3jaa and shall tell them1 ,thus says
 ,yahweh of ,armies3  ,even so will ,i  
break this people and this city1 as one 
breaks a potter's vessel1          that 
can't be made whole again2 and they     
shall bury in ,topheth1          until  
there be no place to bury4  #jai3jab    
,thus will ,i do to this place1 says    

,yahweh1 and to the inhabitants         
of it1 even making this city as         
,topheth3  #jai3jac and the houses of   
,jerusalem1 and the houses of the kings 
of ,judah1 which are defiled1 shall be  
as the place of ,topheth1          even 
all the houses on whose roofs they have 
burned incense          to all the army 
of the sky1 and have poured out drink   
offerings          to other gods4       
#jai3jad ,then came ,jeremiah from      
,topheth1 where ,yahweh had sent him    
to prophesy2 and he stood in the court  
of ,yahweh's house1          and said to
 all the people3  #jai3jae ,thus says   
,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1
 ,behold1 ,i will          bring on this
 city and on all its towns all the evil 
that ,i have          pronounced against
 it2 because they have made their neck  
stiff1          that they may not hear  
my words4  #jbj3jja ,now ,pashhur1 the  
son of ,immer the priest1 who was chief 
officer          in the house of        
,yahweh1 heard ,jeremiah prophesying    

these things4  #jbj3jjb ,then ,pashhur  
struck ,jeremiah the prophet1 and put   
him          in the stocks that were in 
the upper gate of ,benjamin1            
which was in the house of ,yahweh4      
#jbj3jjc ,it happened on the next day1  
that ,pashhur brought forth             
,jeremiah out of the stocks4  ,then said
 ,jeremiah to him1          ,yahweh has 
not called your name ,pashhur1 but      
,magormissabib4  #jbj3jjd ,for thus says
 ,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will make you a   
terror          to yourself1 and to all 
your friends2 and they shall fall       
by the sword of their enemies1 and your 
eyes shall see it2          and ,i will 
give all ,judah into the hand of the    
king of ,babylon1          and he shall 
carry them captive to ,babylon1 and     
shall kill          them with the sword4
  #jbj3jje ,moreover ,i will give all   
the riches of this city1 and all the    
gains          of it1 and all the       
precious things of it1 yes1 all the     
treasures          of the kings of      

,judah will ,i give into the hand of    
their enemies2          and they shall  
make them a prey1 and take them1 and    
carry          them to ,babylon4        
#jbj3jjf ,you1 ,pashhur1 and all who    
dwell in your house shall go into       
captivity2          and you shall come  
to ,babylon1 and there you shall die1   
and there shall you be buried1 you1 and 
all your friends1          to whom you  
have prophesied falsely4  #jbj3jjg      
,yahweh1 you have persuaded me1 and ,i  
was persuaded2          you are stronger
 than ,i1 and have prevailed3  ,i am    
become          a laughing-stock all the
 day1 every one mocks me4  #jbj3jjh ,for
 as often as ,i speak1 ,i cry out2 ,i   
cry1 ,violence and          destruction6
 because the word of ,yahweh is made a  
reproach to me1          and a derision1
 all the day4  #jbj3jji ,if ,i say1 ,i  
will not make mention of him1 nor speak 
any more          in his name1 then     
there is in my heart as it were a       
burning          fire shut up in my     

bones1 and ,i am weary with forbearing1 
and ,i can't contain4  #jbj3jaj ,for ,i 
have heard the defaming of many1 terror 
on every side4          ,denounce1 and  
we will denounce him1 say all my        
familiar friends1          those who    
watch for my fall2 peradventure he will 
be persuaded1          and we shall     
prevail against him1 and we shall take  
our          revenge on him4  #jbj3jaa  
,but ,yahweh is with me as an awesome   
mighty one3  therefore my               
persecutors shall stumble1 and they     
shall not prevail2          they shall  
be utterly disappointed1 because they   
have not          dealt wisely1 even    
with an everlasting dishonor which shall
          never be forgotten4  #jbj3jab 
,but1 ,yahweh of ,armies1 who tests the 
righteous1 who sees          the heart  
and the mind1 let me see your vengeance 
on them2          for to you have ,i    
revealed my cause4  #jbj3jac ,sing to   
,yahweh1 praise you ,yahweh2 for he has 
delivered the soul          of the needy

 from the hand of evil-doers4  #jbj3jad 
,cursed be the day in which ,i was born3
  don't let the day          in which my
 mother bore me be blessed4  #jbj3jae   
,cursed be the man who brought news to  
my father1 saying1 ,a boy          is   
born to you2 making him very glad4      
#jbj3jaf ,let that man be as the cities 
which ,yahweh overthrew1          and   
didn't repent3  and let him hear a cry  
in the morning1          and shouting at
 noontime2  #jbj3jag because he didn't  
kill me from the womb2 and so my mother 
would have been my grave1 and her womb  
always great4  #jbj3jah ,why came ,i    
forth out of the womb to see labor and  
sorrow1          that my days should be 
consumed with shame8  #jba3jja ,the word
 which came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh1  
when king ,zedekiah          sent to him
 ,pashhur the son of ,malchijah1 and    
,zephaniah          the son of          
,maaseiah1 the priest1 saying1  #jba3jjb
 ,please inquire of ,yahweh for us2 for 
,nebuchadnezzar king          of        

,babylon makes war against us3          
peradventure ,yahweh          will deal 
with us according to all his wondrous   
works1          that he may go up from  
us4  #jba3jjc ,then said ,jeremiah to   
them1 ,thus shall you tell ,zedekiah3   
#jba3jjd ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of
 ,israel1 ,behold1 ,i will turn back    
the weapons of war that are in your     
hands1 with which you          fight    
against the king of ,babylon1 and       
against the ,chaldeans          who     
besiege you1 without the walls2 and ,i  
will gather them          into the midst
 of this city4  #jba3jje ,i myself will 
fight against you with an outstretched  
hand          and with a strong arm1    
even in anger1 and in wrath1            
and in great indignation4  #jba3jjf ,i  
will strike the inhabitants of this     
city1 both man and animal3          they
 shall die of a great pestilence4       
#jba3jjg ,afterward1 says ,yahweh1 ,i   
will deliver ,zedekiah king of ,judah1  
and his servants1 and the people1 even  

such as are left in this          city  
from the pestilence1 from the sword1 and
 from the famine1          into the hand
 of ,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon1   
and into the hand          of their     
enemies1 and into the hand of those who 
seek their life3          and he shall  
strike them with the edge of the sword2 
he shall not spare them1 neither have   
pity1 nor have mercy4  #jba3jjh ,to this
 people you shall say1 ,thus says       
,yahweh3  ,behold1 ,i set               
before you the way of life and the way  
of death4  #jba3jji ,he who remains in  
this city shall die by the sword1       
and by the famine1 and by the           
pestilence2 but he who goes out1        
and passes over to the ,chaldeans who   
besiege you1 he shall live1          and
 his life shall be to him for a prey4   
#jba3jaj ,for ,i have set my face on    
this city for evil1 and not for good1   
says ,yahweh3  it shall be given into   
the hand of the king          of        
,babylon1 and he shall burn it with     

fire4  #jba3jaa ,touching the house of  
the king of ,judah1 hear you the word of
 ,yahweh3  #jba3jab ,house of ,david1   
thus says ,yahweh1 ,execute justice in  
the morning1          and deliver him   
who is robbed out of the hand of the    
oppressor1          lest my wrath go    
forth like fire1 and burn so that none  
can          quench it1 because of the  
evil of your doings4  #jba3jac ,behold1 
,i am against you1 ,o inhabitant of the 
valley1          and of the rock of the 
plain1 says ,yahweh2 you that say1      
,who shall come down against us8 or who 
shall enter          into our           
habitations8  #jba3jad ,i will punish   
you according to the fruit of your      
doings1          says ,yahweh2 and ,i   
will kindle a fire in her forest1 and it
          shall devour all that is round
 about her4  #jbb3jja ,thus said        
,yahweh3  ,go down to the house of the  
king of ,judah1          and speak there
 this word1  #jbb3jjb ,say1 ,hear the   
word of ,yahweh1 king of ,judah1 who    

sits on          the throne of ,david1  
you1 and your servants1 and your people 
who enter in by these gates4  #jbb3jjc  
,thus says ,yahweh3  ,execute you       
justice and righteousness1          and 
deliver him who is robbed out of the    
hand of the oppressor3          and do  
no wrong1 do no violence1 to the        
foreigner1 the fatherless1          nor 
the widow2 neither shed innocent blood  
in this place4  #jbb3jjd ,for if you do 
this thing indeed1 then shall there     
enter in by          the gates of this  
house kings sitting on the throne of    
,david1          riding in chariots and 
on horses1 he1 and his servants1        
and his people4  #jbb3jje ,but if you   
will not hear these words1 ,i swear by  
myself1          says ,yahweh1 that this
 house shall become a desolation4       
#jbb3jjf ,for thus says ,yahweh         
concerning the house of the king        
of ,judah3  ,you are ,gilead to me1 and 
the head of ,lebanon2          yet      
surely ,i will make you a wilderness1   

and cities          which are not       
inhabited4  #jbb3jjg ,i will prepare    
destroyers against you1 everyone with   
his weapons2          and they shall cut
 down your choice cedars1 and cast them 
into the fire4  #jbb3jjh ,many nations  
shall pass by this city1 and they shall 
say every man          to his neighbor1 
,why has ,yahweh done thus to this great
 city8  #jbb3jji ,then they shall       
answer1 ,because they forsook the       
covenant          of ,yahweh their ,god1
 and worshiped other gods1 and served   
them4  #jbb3jaj ,don't you weep for the 
dead1 neither bemoan him2 but weep      
sore for him who goes away2 for he shall
 return no more1          nor see his   
native country4  #jbb3jaa ,for thus says
 ,yahweh touching ,shallum the son of   
,josiah1          king of ,judah1 who   
reigned instead of ,josiah his father1  
and who went forth out of this place3   
,he shall not return          there any 
more4  #jbb3jab ,but in the place where 
they have led him captive1 there shall  

he die1 and he shall see this land no   
more4  #jbb3jac ,woe to him who builds  
his house by unrighteousness1 and his   
chambers          by injustice2 who uses
 his neighbor's service without wages1  
and doesn't give him his hire2  #jbb3jad
 who says1 ,i will build me a wide house
 and spacious chambers1          and    
cuts him out windows2 and it is ceiling 
with cedar1          and painted with   
vermilion4  #jbb3jae ,shall you reign1  
because you strive to excel in cedar8   
,didn't your father eat and drink1 and  
do justice and righteousness8           
then it was well with him4  #jbb3jaf ,he
 judged the cause of the poor and needy2
 then it was well4          ,wasn't this
 to know me8 says ,yahweh4  #jbb3jag    
,but your eyes and your heart are not   
but for your covetousness1          and 
for shedding innocent blood1 and for    
oppression1          and for violence1  
to do it4  #jbb3jah ,therefore thus says
 ,yahweh concerning ,jehoiakim the son  
of ,josiah1          king of ,judah3    

they shall not lament for him1 saying1  
,ah my          brother6 or1 ,ah sister6
  ,they shall not lament for him1       
saying ,ah lord6 or1 ,ah his glory6     
#jbb3jai ,he shall be buried with the   
burial of a donkey1 drawn and cast      
forth beyond the gates of ,jerusalem4   
#jbb3jbj ,go up to ,lebanon1 and cry2   
and lift up your voice in ,bashan1      
and cry from ,abarim2 for all your      
lovers are destroyed4  #jbb3jba ,i spoke
 to you in your prosperity2 but you     
said1 ,i will not hear4          ,this  
has been your manner from your youth1   
that you didn't          obey my voice4 
#jbb3jbb ,the wind shall feed all your  
shepherds1 and your lovers              
shall go into captivity3  surely then   
shall you be ashamed          and       
confounded for all your wickedness4     
#jbb3jbc ,inhabitant of ,lebanon1 who   
makes your nest in the cedars1          
how greatly to be pitied shall you be   
when pangs come on you1          the    
pain as of a woman in travail6  #jbb3jbd

 ,as ,i live1 says ,yahweh1 though      
,coniah the son of ,jehoiakim           
king of ,judah were the signet on my    
right hand1 yet would ,i          pluck 
you there2  #jbb3jbe and ,i will give   
you into the hand of those who seek your
 life1          and into the hand of    
them of whom you are afraid1 even into  
the hand of ,nebuchadnezzar king of     
,babylon1 and into the hand          of 
the ,chaldeans4  #jbb3jbf ,i will cast  
you out1 and your mother who bore you1  
into another country1 where you were not
 born2 and there          shall you die4
  #jbb3jbg ,but to the land whereunto   
their soul longs to return1             
there shall they not return4  #jbb3jbh  
,is this man ,coniah a despised broken  
vessel8 is he a vessel          in which
 none delights8 why are they cast out1  
he and his seed1          and are cast  
into the land which they don't know8    
#jbb3jbi ,o earth1 earth1 earth1 hear   
the word of ,yahweh4  #jbb3jcj ,thus    
says ,yahweh1 ,write you this man       

childless1 a man          who shall not 
prosper in his days2 for no more shall a
 man          of his seed prosper1      
sitting on the throne of ,david1        
and ruling in ,judah4  #jbc3jja ,woe to 
the shepherds who destroy and scatter   
the sheep of my          pasture6 says  
,yahweh4  #jbc3jjb ,therefore thus says 
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 against   
the          shepherds who feed my      
people3  ,you have scattered my flock1  
and driven them away1 and have not      
visited them2 behold1 ,i will           
visit on you the evil of your doings1   
says ,yahweh4  #jbc3jjc ,i will gather  
the remnant of my flock out of all the  
countries          where ,i have driven 
them1 and will bring them again to their
 folds2          and they shall be      
fruitful and multiply4  #jbc3jjd ,i will
 set up shepherds over them1 who shall  
feed them2          and they shall fear 
no more1 nor be dismayed1 neither shall 
any be lacking1 says ,yahweh4  #jbc3jje 
,behold1 the days come1 says ,yahweh1   

that ,i will raise to ,david          a 
righteous ,branch1 and he shall reign as
 king and deal wisely1          and     
shall execute justice and righteousness 
in the land4  #jbc3jjf ,in his days     
,judah shall be saved1 and ,israel shall
 dwell safely2          and this is his 
name by which he shall be called3       
,yahweh our righteousness4  #jbc3jjg    
,therefore1 behold1 the days come1 says 
,yahweh1 that they shall          no    
more say1 ,as ,yahweh lives1 who brought
 up the children          of ,israel out
 of the land of ,egypt2  #jbc3jjh but1  
,as ,yahweh lives1 who brought up and   
who led the seed          of the house  
of ,israel out of the north country1    
and from all the countries where ,i had 
driven them4          ,they shall dwell 
in their own land4  #jbc3jji ,concerning
 the prophets4  ,my heart within me is  
broken1          all my bones shake2 ,i 
am like a drunken man1 and like a man   
whom wine has overcome1 because of      
,yahweh1 and because of          his    

holy words4  #jbc3jaj ,for the land is  
full of adulterers2 for because of      
swearing          the land mourns2 the  
pastures of the wilderness are dried up4
          ,their course is evil1 and    
their might is not right2  #jbc3jaa for 
both prophet and priest are profane2    
yes1 in my house          have ,i found 
their wickedness1 says ,yahweh4         
#jbc3jab ,therefore their way shall be  
to them as slippery places          in  
the darkness3  they shall be driven on1 
and fall therein2          for ,i will  
bring evil on them1 even the year of    
their          visitation1 says ,yahweh4
  #jbc3jac ,i have seen folly in the    
prophets of ,samaria2 they prophesied   
by ,baal1 and caused my people ,israel  
to err4  #jbc3jad ,in the prophets of   
,jerusalem also ,i have seen a horrible 
thing3          they commit adultery1   
and walk in lies2 and they strengthen   
the hands          of evil-doers1 so    
that none does return from his          
wickedness3          they are all of    

them become to me as ,sodom1 and the    
inhabitants          of it as ,gomorrah4
  #jbc3jae ,therefore thus says ,yahweh 
of ,armies concerning the prophets3     
,behold1 ,i will feed them with         
wormwood1 and make them drink           
the water of gall2 for from the prophets
 of ,jerusalem is          ungodliness  
gone forth into all the land4  #jbc3jaf 
,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 ,don't   
listen to the words of          the     
prophets who prophesy to you3  they     
teach you vanity2          they speak a 
vision of their own heart1 and not out  
of          the mouth of ,yahweh4       
#jbc3jag ,they say continually to those 
who despise me1 ,yahweh has said1       
,you shall have peace2 and to everyone  
who walks in the stubbornness           
of his own heart they say1 ,no evil     
shall come on you4  #jbc3jah ,for who   
has stood in the council of ,yahweh1    
that he should          perceive and    
hear his word8 who has marked my word1  
and heard it8  #jbc3jai ,behold1 the    

storm of ,yahweh1 even his wrath1 is    
gone forth1 yes1          a whirling    
storm3  it shall burst on the head of   
the wicked4  #jbc3jbj ,the anger of     
,yahweh shall not return1 until he has  
executed1          and until he have    
performed the intents of his heart3     
in the latter days you shall understand 
it perfectly4  #jbc3jba ,i sent not     
these prophets1 yet they ran3  ,i didn't
 speak to them1          yet they       
prophesied4  #jbc3jbb ,but if they had  
stood in my council1 then had they      
caused my people          to hear my    
words1 and had turned them from their   
evil way1          and from the evil of 
their doings4  #jbc3jbc ,am ,i a ,god at
 hand1 says ,yahweh1 and not a ,god afar
 off8  #jbc3jbd ,can any hide himself in
 secret places so that ,i shall not see 
him8 says ,yahweh4  ,don't ,i fill      
heaven and earth8 says ,yahweh4         
#jbc3jbe ,i have heard what the prophets
 have said1 who prophesy lies           
in my name1 saying1 ,i have dreamed1 ,i 

have dreamed4  #jbc3jbf ,how long shall 
this be in the heart of the prophets who
 prophesy lies1          even the       
prophets of the deceit of their own     
heart8  #jbc3jbg who think to cause my  
people to forget my name by their dreams
          which they tell every man to  
his neighbor1 as their fathers          
forgot my name for ,baal4  #jbc3jbh ,the
 prophet who has a dream1 let him tell a
 dream2          and he who has my word1
 let him speak my word faithfully4      
,what is the straw to the wheat8 says   
,yahweh4  #jbc3jbi ,isn't my word like  
fire8 says ,yahweh2 and like a hammer   
that breaks the rock in pieces8         
#jbc3jcj ,therefore1 behold1 ,i am      
against the prophets1 says ,yahweh1     
who steal my words everyone from his    
neighbor4  #jbc3jca ,behold1 ,i am      
against the prophets1 says ,yahweh1 who 
use          their tongues1 and say1 ,he
 says4  #jbc3jcb ,behold1 ,i am against 
those who prophesy lying dreams1 says   
,yahweh1          and do tell them1 and 

cause my people to err by their lies1   
and by their vain boasting3  yet ,i     
didn't send them1          nor commanded
 them2 neither do they profit this      
people          at all1 says ,yahweh4   
#jbc3jcc ,when this people1 or the      
prophet1 or a priest1 shall ask you1    
saying1 ,what is the burden of ,yahweh8 
then shall you tell them1          ,what
 burden6  ,i will cast you off1 says    
,yahweh4  #jbc3jcd ,as for the prophet1 
and the priest1 and the people1 who     
shall say1          ,the burden of      
,yahweh1 ,i will even punish that man   
and his house4  #jbc3jce ,thus shall you
 say everyone to his neighbor1 and      
everyone to          his brother1 ,what 
has ,yahweh answered8 and1 ,what has    
,yahweh spoken8  #jbc3jcf ,the burden of
 ,yahweh shall you mention no more3  for
 every          man's own word shall be 
his burden2 for you have perverted      
the words of the living ,god1 of ,yahweh
 of ,armies our ,god4  #jbc3jcg ,thus   
shall you say to the prophet1 ,what has 

,yahweh answered          you8 and1     
,what has ,yahweh spoken8  #jbc3jch ,but
 if you say1 ,the burden of ,yahweh2    
therefore thus          says ,yahweh3   
,because you say this word1 ,the burden 
of ,yahweh1          and ,i have sent to
 you1 saying1 ,you shall not say1       
,the burden of ,yahweh2  #jbc3jci       
therefore1 behold1 ,i will utterly      
forget you1 and ,i will cast            
you off1 and the city that ,i gave to   
you and to your fathers1          away  
from my presence3  #jbc3jdj and ,i will 
bring an everlasting reproach on you1   
and a          perpetual shame1 which   
shall not be forgotten4  #jbd3jja       
,yahweh shown me1 and behold1 two       
baskets of figs set before          the 
temple of ,yahweh1 after that           
,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon        
had carried away captive ,jeconiah the  
son of ,jehoiakim1          king of     
,judah1 and the princes of ,judah1 with 
the craftsmen          and smiths1 from 
,jerusalem1 and had brought them to     

,babylon4  #jbd3jjb ,one basket had very
 good figs1 like the figs that are      
first-ripe2          and the other      
basket had very bad figs1 which could   
not be eaten1          they were so bad4
  #jbd3jjc ,then said ,yahweh to me1    
,what see you1 ,jeremiah8  ,i said1     
,figs2          the good figs1 very     
good2 and the bad1 very bad1 that can't 
be eaten1 they are so bad4  #jbd3jjd    
,the word of ,yahweh came to me1 saying1
  #jbd3jje ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god 
of ,israel3  ,like these good figs1     
so will ,i regard the captives of       
,judah1 whom ,i have sent          out  
of this place into the land of the      
,chaldeans1 for good4  #jbd3jjf ,for ,i 
will set my eyes on them for good1 and  
,i will bring them again          to    
this land3  and ,i will build them1 and 
not pull them down2          and ,i will
 plant them1 and not pluck them up4     
#jbd3jjg ,i will give them a heart to   
know me1 that ,i am ,yahweh3            
and they shall be my people1 and ,i will

 be their ,god2          for they shall 
return to me with their whole heart4    
#jbd3jjh ,as the bad figs1 which can't  
be eaten1 they are so bad1              
surely thus says ,yahweh1 ,so will ,i   
give up ,zedekiah the king          of  
,judah1 and his princes1 and the residue
 of ,jerusalem1          who remain in  
this land1 and those who dwell in the   
land of ,egypt1  #jbd3jji ,i will even  
give them up to be tossed back and forth
 among          all the kingdoms of the 
earth for evil2 to be a reproach        
and a proverb1 a taunt and a curse1 in  
all places where ,i          shall drive
 them4  #jbd3jaj ,i will send the sword1
 the famine1 and the pestilence1        
among them1 until they be consumed from 
off the land that ,i          gave to   
them and to their fathers4  #jbe3jja    
,the word that came to ,jeremiah        
concerning all the people of ,judah1    
in the fourth year of ,jehoiakim the son
 of ,josiah1 king of ,judah             
7the same was the first year of         

,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon71      
#jbe3jjb which ,jeremiah the prophet    
spoke to all the people of ,judah1      
and to all the inhabitants of           
,jerusalem1 saying3  #jbe3jjc ,from the 
thirteenth year of ,josiah the son of   
,amon1          king of ,judah1 even to 
this day1 these twenty-three years1     
the word of ,yahweh has come to me1 and 
,i have spoken to you1          rising  
up early and speaking2 but you have not 
listened4  #jbe3jjd ,yahweh has sent to 
you all his servants the prophets1      
rising up early and sending them1 7but  
you have not listened1          nor     
inclined your ear to hear71  #jbe3jje   
saying1 ,return you now everyone from   
his evil way1 and from the evil         
of your doings1 and dwell in the land   
that ,yahweh has given          to you  
and to your fathers1 from of old and    
even forevermore2  #jbe3jjf and don't go
 after other gods to serve them or      
worship them1          and don't provoke
 me to anger with the work of your      

hands2          and ,i will do you no   
harm4  #jbe3jjg ,yet you have not       
listened to me1 says ,yahweh2 that you  
may provoke          me to anger with   
the work of your hands to your own hurt4
  #jbe3jjh ,therefore thus says ,yahweh 
of ,armies3  ,because you have not      
heard my words1  #jbe3jji behold1 ,i    
will send and take all the families of  
the north1          says ,yahweh1 and ,i
 will send to ,nebuchadnezzar the king  
of ,babylon1 my servant1 and will bring 
them against this land1          and    
against the inhabitants of it1 and      
against all these nations          round
 about2 and ,i will utterly destroy     
them1 and make them          an         
astonishment1 and a hissing1 and        
perpetual desolations4  #jbe3jaj        
,moreover ,i will take from them the    
voice of mirth and the voice          of
 gladness1 the voice of the bridegroom  
and the voice          of the bride1 the
 sound of the millstones1 and the light 
of the lamp4  #jbe3jaa ,this whole land 

shall be a desolation1 and an           
astonishment2          and these nations
 shall serve the king of ,babylon       
seventy years4  #jbe3jab ,it shall      
happen1 when seventy years are          
accomplished1          that ,i will     
punish the king of ,babylon1 and that   
nation1          says ,yahweh1 for their
 iniquity1 and the land of the          
,chaldeans2          and ,i will make it
 desolate forever4  #jbe3jac ,i will    
bring on that land all my words which ,i
 have pronounced          against it1   
even all that is written in this book1  
which ,jeremiah has prophesied against  
all the nations4  #jbe3jad ,for many    
nations and great kings shall make      
bondservants of them1          even of  
them2 and ,i will recompense them       
according to their deeds1          and  
according to the work of their hands4   
#jbe3jae ,for thus says ,yahweh1 the    
,god of ,israel1 to me3  take this cup  
of the wine of wrath at my hand1 and    
cause all the nations1          to whom 

,i send you1 to drink it4  #jbe3jaf     
,they shall drink1 and reel back and    
forth1 and be mad1          because of  
the sword that ,i will send among them4 
#jbe3jag ,then took ,i the cup at       
,yahweh's hand1 and made all the nations
          to drink1 to whom ,yahweh had 
sent me3  #jbe3jah to wit1 ,jerusalem1  
and the cities of ,judah1 and the kings 
of it1 and the princes of it1 to make   
them a desolation1          an          
astonishment1 a hissing1 and a curse1 as
 it is this day2  #jbe3jai ,pharaoh king
 of ,egypt1 and his servants1 and his

and all the kingdoms of the world1 which
 are on the surface          of the     
earth3  and the king of ,sheshach shall 
drink after them4  #jbe3jbg ,you shall  
tell them1 ,thus says ,yahweh of        
,armies1 the ,god          of ,israel3  
,drink you1 and be drunken1 and spew1   
and fall1          and rise no more1    
because of the sword which ,i will      
send among you4  #jbe3jbh ,it shall be1 
if they refuse to take the cup at your  
hand          to drink1 then shall you  
tell them1 ,thus says ,yahweh           
of ,armies3  ,you shall surely drink4   
#jbe3jbi ,for1 behold1 ,i begin to work 

evil at the city which is               
called by my name2 and should you be    
utterly unpunished8          ,you shall 
not be unpunished2 for ,i will call for 
a sword          on all the inhabitants 
of the earth1 says ,yahweh of ,armies4  
#jbe3jcj ,therefore prophesy you against
 them all these words1 and tell them1   
,yahweh will roar from on high1 and     
utter his voice from his          holy  
habitation2 he will mightily roar       
against his fold2          he will give 
a shout1 as those who tread the grapes1 
against all the inhabitants of the      
earth4  #jbe3jca ,a noise shall come    
even to the end of the earth2 for       
,yahweh          has a controversy with 
the nations2 he will enter into         
judgment with all flesh3  as for the    
wicked1 he will give          them to   
the sword1 says ,yahweh4  #jbe3jcb ,thus
 says ,yahweh of ,armies1 ,behold1 evil 
shall go forth          from nation to  
nation1 and a great storm shall be      
raised up          from the uttermost   

parts of the earth4  #jbe3jcc ,the slain
 of ,yahweh shall be at that day from   
one end          of the earth even to   
the other end of the earth3             
they shall not be lamented1 neither     
gathered1 nor buried2          they     
shall be dung on the surface of the     
ground4  #jbe3jcd ,wail1 you shepherds1 
and cry2 and wallow in ashes1           
you principal of the flock2 for the days
 of your slaughter          and of your 
dispersions are fully come1 and you     
shall fall          like a goodly       
vessel4  #jbe3jce ,the shepherds shall  
have no way to flee1 nor the principal  
of the flock to escape4  #jbe3jcf ,a    
voice of the cry of the shepherds1 and  
the wailing of the          principal of
 the flock6 for ,yahweh lays waste their
 pasture4  #jbe3jcg ,the peaceable folds
 are brought to silence because of the  
fierce          anger of ,yahweh4       
#jbe3jch ,he has left his covert1 as the
 lion2 for their land is become an      
astonishment because of the fierceness  

of the oppressing sword1          and   
because of his fierce anger4  #jbf3jja  
,in the beginning of the reign of       
,jehoiakim the son of ,josiah1          
king of ,judah1 came this word from     
,yahweh1 saying1  #jbf3jjb ,thus says   
,yahweh3  ,stand in the court of        
,yahweh's house1          and speak to  
all the cities of ,judah1 which come to 
worship          in ,yahweh's house1 all
 the words that ,i command you to speak 
to them2 don't diminish a word4         
#jbf3jjc ,it may be they will listen1   
and turn every man from his evil way2   
that ,i may repent me of the evil which 
,i purpose to do to them                
because of the evil of their doings4    
#jbf3jjd ,you shall tell them1 ,thus    
says ,yahweh3  ,if you will not listen  
to me1 to walk in my law1 which ,i have 
set before you1  #jbf3jje to listen to  
the words of my servants the prophets1  
whom ,i send to you1 even rising up     
early and sending them1          but you
 have not listened2  #jbf3jjf then will 

,i make this house like ,shiloh1 and    
will make this          city a curse to 
all the nations of the earth4  #jbf3jjg 
,the priests and the prophets and all   
the people heard ,jeremiah              
speaking these words in the house of    
,yahweh4  #jbf3jjh ,it happened1 when   
,jeremiah had made an end of speaking   
all          that ,yahweh had commanded 
him to speak to all the people1         
that the priests and the prophets and   
all the people laid          hold on    
him1 saying1 ,you shall surely die4     
#jbf3jji ,why have you prophesied in the
 name of ,yahweh1 saying1 ,this house   
shall be like ,shiloh1 and this city    
shall be desolate1          without     
inhabitant8  ,all the people were       
gathered to ,jeremiah          in the   
house of ,yahweh4  #jbf3jaj ,when the   
princes of ,judah heard these things1   
they came up          from the king's   
house to the house of ,yahweh2 and they 
sat          in the entry of the new    
gate of ,yahweh's house4  #jbf3jaa ,then

 spoke the priests and the prophets to  
the princes          and to all the     
people1 saying1 ,this man is worthy of  
death2          for he has prophesied   
against this city1 as you have heard    
with your ears4  #jbf3jab ,then spoke   
,jeremiah to all the princes and to all 
the people1          saying1 ,yahweh    
sent me to prophesy against this house  
and          against this city all the  
words that you have heard4  #jbf3jac    
,now therefore amend your ways and your 
doings1 and obey the voice          of  
,yahweh your ,god2 and ,yahweh will     
repent him of the evil          that he 
has pronounced against you4  #jbf3jad   
,but as for me1 behold1 ,i am in your   
hand3  do with me as is          good   
and right in your eyes4  #jbf3jae ,only 
know for certain that1 if you put me to 
death1          you will bring innocent 
blood on yourselves1 and on this city1  
and on the inhabitants of it2 for of a  
truth ,yahweh has sent          me to   
you to speak all these words in your    

ears4  #jbf3jaf ,then said the princes  
and all the people to the priests       
and to the prophets3  ,this man is not  
worthy of death2          for he has    
spoken to us in the name of ,yahweh our 
,god4  #jbf3jag ,then rose up certain of
 the elders of the land1 and spoke      
to all the assembly of the people1      
saying1  #jbf3jah ,micah the ,morashtite
 prophesied in the days of ,hezekiah    
king          of ,judah2 and he spoke to
 all the people of ,judah1 saying1      
,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies3  ,zion   
shall be plowed as a field1          and
 ,jerusalem shall become heaps1 and the 
mountain of the house          as the   
high places of a forest4  #jbf3jai ,did 
,hezekiah king of ,judah and all ,judah 
put him to death8          ,didn't he   
fear ,yahweh1 and entreat the favor of  
,yahweh1 and ,yahweh          repented  
him of the evil which he had pronounced 
against them8          ,thus should we  
commit great evil against our own souls4
  #jbf3jbj ,there was also a man who    

prophesied in the name          of      
,yahweh1 ,uriah the son of ,shemaiah of 
,kiriath ,jearim2          and he       
prophesied against this city and against
 this land          according to all the
 words of ,jeremiah3  #jbf3jba and when 
,jehoiakim the king1 with all his mighty
 men1          and all the princes1     
heard his words1 the king sought to put 
him to death2 but when ,uriah heard it1 
he was afraid1 and fled1          and   
went into ,egypt3  #jbf3jbb and         
,jehoiakim the king sent men into       
,egypt1 namely1 ,elnathan          the  
son of ,achbor1 and certain men with    
him1 into ,egypt2  #jbf3jbc and they    
fetched forth ,uriah out of ,egypt1 and 
brought him          to ,jehoiakim the  
king1 who killed him with the sword1    
and cast his dead body into the graves  
of the common people4  #jbf3jbd ,but the
 hand of ,ahikam the son of ,shaphan was
 with ,jeremiah1          that they     
should not give him into the hand of the
 people          to put him to death4   

#jbg3jja ,in the beginning of the reign 
of ,jehoiakim the son of ,josiah1       
king of ,judah1 came this word to       
,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 saying1         
#jbg3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh to me3      
,make you bonds and bars1 and put them  
on your neck2  #jbg3jjc and send them to
 the king of ,edom1 and to the king of  
,moab1          and to the king of the  
children of ,ammon1 and to the king of  
,tyre1          and to the king of      
,sidon1 by the hand of the messengers   
who come to ,jerusalem to ,zedekiah king
 of ,judah2  #jbg3jjd and give them a   
charge to their masters1 saying1 ,thus  
says ,yahweh          of ,armies1 the   
,god of ,israel1 ,thus shall you tell   
your masters3  #jbg3jje ,i have made the
 earth1 the men and the animals that are
 on the surface          of the earth1  
by my great power and by my outstretched
 arm2          and ,i give it to whom it
 seems right to me4  #jbg3jjf ,now have 
,i given all these lands into the hand  
of ,nebuchadnezzar          the king of 

,babylon1 my servant2 and the animals of
 the field          also have ,i given  
him to serve him4  #jbg3jjg ,all the    
nations shall serve him1 and his son1   
and his son's son1          until the   
time of his own land come3  and then    
many nations          and great kings   
shall make him their bondservant4       
#jbg3jjh ,it shall happen1 that the     
nation and the kingdom which will not   
serve the same ,nebuchadnezzar king of  
,babylon1 and that will          not put
 their neck under the yoke of the king  
of ,babylon1          that nation will  
,i punish1 says ,yahweh1 with the sword1
          and with the famine1 and with 
the pestilence1 until ,i have           
consumed them by his hand4  #jbg3jji    
,but as for you1 don't you listen to    
your prophets1 nor to          your     
diviners1 nor to your dreams1 nor to    
your soothsayers1          nor to your  
sorcerers1 who speak to you1 saying1    
,you shall          not serve the king  
of ,babylon3  #jbg3jaj for they prophesy

 a lie to you1 to remove you far from   
your land1          and that ,i should  
drive you out1 and you should perish4   
#jbg3jaa ,but the nation that shall     
bring their neck under the yoke         
of the king of ,babylon1 and serve him1 
that nation will ,i let          remain 
in their own land1 says ,yahweh2 and    
they shall till it1          and dwell  
therein4  #jbg3jab ,i spoke to ,zedekiah
 king of ,judah according to all these  
words1          saying1 ,bring your     
necks under the yoke of the king of     
,babylon1          and serve him and his
 people1 and live4  #jbg3jac ,why will  
you die1 you and your people1 by the    
sword1 by the famine1          and by   
the pestilence1 as ,yahweh has spoken   
concerning          the nation that will
 not serve the king of ,babylon8        
#jbg3jad ,don't listen to the words of  
the prophets who speak          to you1 
saying1 ,you shall not serve the king of
 ,babylon2          for they prophesy a 
lie to you4  #jbg3jae ,for ,i have not  

sent them1 says ,yahweh1 but they       
prophesy          falsely in my name2   
that ,i may drive you out1 and that you 
may perish1 you1 and the prophets who   
prophesy to you4  #jbg3jaf ,also ,i     
spoke to the priests and to all this    
people1 saying1          ,thus says     
,yahweh3  ,don't listen to the words of 
your prophets          who prophesy to  
you1 saying1 ,behold1 the vessels of    
,yahweh's          house shall now      
shortly be brought again from ,babylon2 
for they prophesy a lie to you4         
#jbg3jag ,don't listen to them2 serve   
the king of ,babylon1 and live3         
why should this city become a           
desolation8  #jbg3jah ,but if they be   
prophets1 and if the word of ,yahweh be 
with them1          let them now make   
intercession to ,yahweh of ,armies1     
that the vessels which are left in the  
house of ,yahweh1          and in the   
house of the king of ,judah1 and at     
,jerusalem1          don't go to        
,babylon4  #jbg3jai ,for thus says      

,yahweh of ,armies concerning the       
pillars1          and concerning the    
sea1 and concerning the bases1 and      
concerning          the residue of the  
vessels that are left in this city1     
#jbg3jbj which ,nebuchadnezzar king of  
,babylon didn't take1          when he  
carried away captive ,jeconiah the son  
of ,jehoiakim1          king of ,judah1 
from ,jerusalem to ,babylon1 and all the
 nobles          of ,judah and          
,jerusalem2  #jbg3jba yes1 thus says    
,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1
          concerning the vessels that   
are left in the house of ,yahweh1       
and in the house of the king of ,judah1 
and at ,jerusalem3  #jbg3jbb ,they shall
 be carried to ,babylon1 and there shall
 they be1          until the day that ,i
 visit them1 says ,yahweh2 then will ,i 
bring them up1 and restore them to this 
place4  #jbh3jja ,it happened the same  
year1 in the beginning of the reign of  
,zedekiah king of ,judah1 in the fourth 
year1 in the fifth month1          that 

,hananiah the son of ,azzur1 the        
prophet1 who was of ,gibeon1            
spoke to me in the house of ,yahweh1 in 
the presence of the priests          and
 of all the people1 saying1  #jbh3jjb   
,thus speaks ,yahweh of ,armies1 the    
,god of ,israel1 saying1 ,i have        
broken the yoke of the king of ,babylon4
  #jbh3jjc ,within two full years will  
,i bring again into this place          
all the vessels of ,yahweh's house1 that
 ,nebuchadnezzar king          of       
,babylon took away from this place1 and 
carried to ,babylon3  #jbh3jjd and ,i   
will bring again to this place ,jeconiah
 the son          of ,jehoiakim1 king of
 ,judah1 with all the captives of       
,judah1          who went to ,babylon1  
says ,yahweh2 for ,i will break the yoke
          of the king of ,babylon4      
#jbh3jje ,then the prophet ,jeremiah    
said to the prophet ,hananiah           
in the presence of the priests1 and in  
the presence of all          the people 
who stood in the house of ,yahweh1      

#jbh3jjf even the prophet ,jeremiah     
said1 ,amen3  ,yahweh do so2            
,yahweh perform your words which you    
have prophesied1          to bring again
 the vessels of ,yahweh's house1 and all
 them          of the captivity1 from   
,babylon to this place4  #jbh3jjg       
,nevertheless hear you now this word    
that ,i speak in your ears1          and
 in the ears of all the people3         
#jbh3jjh ,the prophets who have been    
before me and before you of old         
prophesied against many countries1 and  
against great kingdoms1          of war1
 and of evil1 and of pestilence4        
#jbh3jji ,the prophet who prophesies of 
peace1 when the word of the prophet     
shall happen1 then shall the prophet be 
known1 that ,yahweh          has truly  
sent him4  #jbh3jaj ,then ,hananiah the 
prophet took the bar from off the       
prophet          ,jeremiah's neck1 and  
broke it4  #jbh3jaa ,hananiah spoke in  
the presence of all the people1 saying1 
,thus          says ,yahweh3  ,even so  

will ,i break the yoke of               
,nebuchadnezzar          king of        
,babylon within two full years from off 
the neck          of all the nations4   
,the prophet ,jeremiah went his way4    
#jbh3jab ,then the word of ,yahweh came 
to ,jeremiah1 after that ,hananiah      
the prophet had broken the bar from off 
the neck of the          prophet        
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jbh3jac ,go1 and   
tell ,hananiah1 saying1 ,thus says      
,yahweh3  ,you have          broken the 
bars of wood2 but you have made in their
 place          bars of iron4  #jbh3jad 
,for thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the  
,god of ,israel3  ,i have put          a
 yoke of iron on the neck of all these  
nations1 that they may          serve   
,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon2 and   
they shall serve him3          and ,i   
have given him the animals of the field 
also4  #jbh3jae ,then said the prophet  
,jeremiah to ,hananiah the prophet1     
,hear now1 ,hananiah3  ,yahweh has not  
sent you2 but you make          this    

people to trust in a lie4  #jbh3jaf     
,therefore thus says ,yahweh1 ,behold1  
,i will send you away          from off 
the surface of the earth3  this year you
 shall die1          because you have   
spoken rebellion against ,yahweh4       
#jbh3jag ,so ,hananiah the prophet died 
the same year in the seventh month4     
#jbi3jja ,now these are the words of the
 letter that ,jeremiah          the     
prophet sent from ,jerusalem to the     
residue of the elders          of the   
captivity1 and to the priests1 and to   
the prophets1          and to all the   
people1 whom ,nebuchadnezzar had carried
 away          captive from ,jerusalem  
to ,babylon1  #jbi3jjb 7after that      
,jeconiah the king1 and the queen       
mother1 and the eunuchs1          and   
the princes of ,judah and ,jerusalem1   
and the craftsmen1          and the     
smiths1 were departed from ,jerusalem71 
#jbi3jjc by the hand of ,elasah the son 
of ,shaphan1 and ,gemariah the son      
of ,hilkiah1 7whom ,zedekiah king of    

,judah sent to ,babylon          to     
,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon71      
saying1  #jbi3jjd ,thus says ,yahweh of 
,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1 to all    
the captivity1 whom ,i have caused to be
 carried away captive          from     
,jerusalem to ,babylon3  #jbi3jje ,build
 you houses1 and dwell in them2 and     
plant gardens1          and eat the     
fruit of them4  #jbi3jjf ,take wives1   
and father sons and daughters2 and take 
wives          for your sons1 and give  
your daughters to husbands1             
that they may bear sons and daughters2  
and multiply you there1          and    
don't be diminished4  #jbi3jjg ,seek the
 peace of the city where ,i have caused 
you to be carried          away captive1
 and pray to ,yahweh for it2 for in the 
peace          of it shall you have     
peace4  #jbi3jjh ,for thus says ,yahweh 
of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel3  ,don't
 let          your prophets who are in  
the midst of you1 and your diviners1    
deceive you2 neither listen you to your 

dreams which you          cause to be   
dreamed4  #jbi3jji ,for they prophesy   
falsely to you in my name3  ,i have not 
sent them1 says ,yahweh4  #jbi3jaj ,for 
thus says ,yahweh1 ,after seventy years 
are accomplished          for ,babylon1 
,i will visit you1 and perform my good  
word          toward you1 in causing you
 to return to this place4  #jbi3jaa ,for
 ,i know the thoughts that ,i think     
toward you1 says ,yahweh1               
thoughts of peace1 and not of evil1 to  
give you hope in          your latter   
end4  #jbi3jab ,you shall call on me1   
and you shall go and pray to me1        
and ,i will listen to you4  #jbi3jac    
,you shall seek me1 and find me1 when   
you shall search for me          with   
all your heart4  #jbi3jad ,i will be    
found by you1 says ,yahweh1 and ,i will 
turn again          your captivity1 and 
,i will gather you from all the nations1
          and from all the places where 
,i have driven you1 says ,yahweh2       
and ,i will bring you again to the place

 from where ,i caused          you to be
 carried away captive4  #jbi3jae        
,because you have said1 ,yahweh has     
raised us up prophets in ,babylon2      
#jbi3jaf thus says ,yahweh concerning   
the king who sits on the throne         
of ,david1 and concerning all the people
 who dwell in this city1          your  
brothers who haven't gone forth with you
 into captivity2  #jbi3jag thus says    
,yahweh of ,armies2 ,behold1 ,i will    
send on them the sword1          the    
famine1 and the pestilence1 and will    
make them like vile figs1          that 
can't be eaten1 they are so bad4        
#jbi3jah ,i will pursue after them with 
the sword1 with the famine1          and
 with the pestilence1 and will deliver  
them to be tossed back          and     
forth among all the kingdoms of the     
earth1 to be an object          of      
horror1 and an astonishment1 and a      
hissing1 and a reproach1          among 
all the nations where ,i have driven    
them2  #jbi3jai because they have not   

listened to my words1 says ,yahweh1     
with which ,i sent to them my servants  
the prophets1 rising up          early  
and sending them2 but you would not     
hear1 says ,yahweh4  #jbi3jbj ,hear you 
therefore the word of ,yahweh1 all you  
of the captivity1          whom ,i have 
sent away from ,jerusalem to ,babylon4  
#jbi3jba ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 
the ,god of ,israel1 concerning ,ahab   
the son of ,kolaiah1 and concerning     
,zedekiah the son of ,maaseiah1         
who prophesy a lie to you in my name3   
,behold1 ,i will deliver          them  
into the hand of ,nebuchadnezzar king of
 ,babylon2          and he shall kill   
them before your eyes2  #jbi3jbb and of 
them shall be taken up a curse by all   
the captives of ,judah          who are 
in ,babylon1 saying1 ,yahweh make you   
like ,zedekiah          and like ,ahab1 
whom the king of ,babylon roasted in the
 fire2  #jbi3jbc because they have      
worked folly in ,israel1 and have       
committed          adultery with their  

neighbors' wives1 and have spoken       
words in my name falsely1 which ,i      
didn't command them2          and ,i am 
he who knows1 and am witness1 says      
,yahweh4  #jbi3jbd ,concerning ,shemaiah
 the ,nehelamite you shall speak1       
saying1  #jbi3jbe ,thus speaks ,yahweh  
of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel1 saying1
          ,because you have sent letters
 in your own name to all the people     
who are at ,jerusalem1 and to ,zephaniah
 the son of ,maaseiah1          the     
priest1 and to all the priests1 saying1 
#jbi3jbf ,yahweh has made you priest in 
the place of ,jehoiada the priest1      
that there may be officers in the house 
of ,yahweh1          for every man who  
is mad1 and makes himself a prophet1    
that you should put him in the stocks   
and in shackles4  #jbi3jbg ,now         
therefore1 why have you not rebuked     
,jeremiah of ,anathoth1          who    
makes himself a prophet to you1         
#jbi3jbh because he has sent to us in   
,babylon1 saying1 ,the captivity        

is long3  build you houses1 and dwell in
 them2 and plant gardens1          and  
eat the fruit of them8  #jbi3jbi        
,zephaniah the priest read this letter  
in the ears of          ,jeremiah the   
prophet4  #jbi3jcj ,then came the word  
of ,yahweh to ,jeremiah1 saying1        
#jbi3jca ,send to all them of the       
captivity1 saying1 ,thus says ,yahweh   
concerning ,shemaiah the ,nehelamite3   
,because ,shemaiah has                  
prophesied to you1 and ,i didn't send   
him1 and he has caused          you to  
trust in a lie2  #jbi3jcb therefore thus
 says ,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will punish  
,shemaiah          the ,nehelamite1 and 
his seed2 he shall not have a man to    
dwell          among this people1       
neither shall he see the good that ,i   
will do to my people1 says ,yahweh1     
because he has spoken          rebellion
 against ,yahweh4  #jcj3jja ,the word   
that came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh1    
saying1  #jcj3jjb ,thus speaks ,yahweh1 
the ,god of ,israel1 saying1 ,write you 

all          the words that ,i have     
spoken to you in a book4  #jcj3jjc ,for1
 behold1 the days come1 says ,yahweh1   
that ,i will turn again          the    
captivity of my people ,israel and      
,judah1 says ,yahweh2          and ,i   
will cause them to return to the land   
that ,i gave          to their fathers1 
and they shall possess it4  #jcj3jjd    
,these are the words that ,yahweh spoke 
concerning ,israel          and         
concerning ,judah4  #jcj3jje ,for thus  
says ,yahweh3  ,we have heard a voice of
 trembling1          of fear1 and not of
 peace4  #jcj3jjf ,ask now1 and see     
whether a man does travail with child3  
why do ,i see every man with his hands  
on his waist1 as a woman          in    
travail1 and all faces are turned into  
paleness8  #jcj3jjg ,alas6 for that day 
is great1 so that none is like it3      
it is even the time of ,jacob's trouble2
 but he shall be saved          out of  
it4  #jcj3jjh ,it shall come to pass in 
that day1 says ,yahweh of ,armies1 that 

,i          will break his yoke from off
 your neck1 and will burst your bonds2  
and strangers shall no more make him    
their bondservant2  #jcj3jji but they   
shall serve ,yahweh their ,god1 and     
,david their king1          whom ,i will
 raise up to them4  #jcj3jaj ,therefore 
don't you be afraid1 ,o ,jacob my       
servant1 says ,yahweh2          neither 
be dismayed1 ,israel3  for1 behold1 ,i  
will save you          from afar1 and   
your seed from the land of their        
captivity2          and ,jacob shall    
return1 and shall be quiet and at ease1 
and none shall make him afraid4         
#jcj3jaa ,for ,i am with you1 says      
,yahweh1 to save you3  for ,i will make 
a full end of all the nations where ,i  
have scattered you1          but ,i will
 not make a full end of you2 but ,i will
 correct          you in measure1 and   
will in no way leave you unpunished4    
#jcj3jab ,for thus says ,yahweh1 ,your  
hurt is incurable1          and your    
wound grievous4  #jcj3jac ,there is none

 to plead your cause1 that you may be   
bound up3          you have no healing  
medicines4  #jcj3jad ,all your lovers   
have forgotten you2 they don't seek you3
          for ,i have wounded you with  
the wound of an enemy1 with the         
chastisement of a cruel one1 for the    
greatness of your iniquity1             
because your sins were increased4       
#jcj3jae ,why cry you for your hurt8    
your pain is incurable3          for the
 greatness of your iniquity1 because    
your sins          were increased1 ,i   
have done these things to you4  #jcj3jaf
 ,therefore all those who devour you    
shall be devoured2 and all          your
 adversaries1 everyone of them1 shall go
 into captivity2          and those who 
despoil you shall be a spoil1 and all   
who prey          on you will ,i give   
for a prey4  #jcj3jag ,for ,i will      
restore health to you1 and ,i will heal 
you          of your wounds1 says       
,yahweh2 because they have called you   
an outcast1 saying1 ,it is ,zion1 whom  

no man seeks after4  #jcj3jah ,thus says
 ,yahweh3  ,behold1 ,i will turn again  
the captivity          of ,jacob's      
tents1 and have compassion on his       
dwelling places2          and the city  
shall be built on its own hill1 and the 
palace          shall be inhabited after
 its own manner4  #jcj3jai ,out of them 
shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice
 of those who          make merry3  and 
,i will multiply them1 and they shall   
not be few2          ,i will also       
glorify them1 and they shall not be     
small4  #jcj3jbj ,their children also   
shall be as before1 and their           
congregation          shall be          
established before me2 and ,i will      
punish all          who oppress them4   
#jcj3jba ,their prince shall be of      
themselves1 and their ruler shall       
proceed          from the midst of them2
 and ,i will cause him to draw near1    
and he shall approach to me3  for who is
 he who has had boldness          to    
approach to me8 says ,yahweh4  #jcj3jbb 

,you shall be my people1 and ,i will be 
your ,god4  #jcj3jbc ,behold1 the storm 
of ,yahweh1 even his wrath1 is gone     
forth1          a sweeping storm3  it   
shall burst on the head of the wicked4  
#jcj3jbd ,the fierce anger of ,yahweh   
shall not return1 until he has executed1
          and until he have performed   
the intents of his heart3          in   
the latter days you shall understand it4
  #jca3jja ,at that time1 says ,yahweh1 
will ,i be the ,god of all the families 
of ,israel1 and they shall be my people4
  #jca3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,the     
people who were left of the sword found 
favor in the wilderness2 even ,israel1  
when ,i went to cause          him to   
rest4  #jca3jjc ,yahweh appeared of old 
to me1 saying1 ,yes1 ,i have loved you  
with an everlasting love3  therefore    
with loving kindness          have ,i   
drawn you4  #jca3jjd ,again will ,i     
build you1 and you shall be built1 ,o   
virgin of ,israel3          again shall 
you be adorned with your tambourines1   

and shall          go forth in the      
dances of those who make merry4         
#jca3jje ,again shall you plant         
vineyards on the mountains of ,samaria2 
the planters shall plant1 and shall     
enjoy the fruit of it4  #jca3jjf ,for   
there shall be a day1 that the watchmen 
on the hills          of ,ephraim shall 
cry1 ,arise you1 and let us go up to    
,zion          to ,yahweh our ,god4     
#jca3jjg ,for thus says ,yahweh1 ,sing  
with gladness for ,jacob1 and shout     
for the chief of the nations3  publish  
you1 praise you1          and say1      
,yahweh1 save your people1 the remnant  
of ,israel4  #jca3jjh ,behold1 ,i will  
bring them from the north country1      
and gather them from the uttermost parts
 of the earth1          and with them   
the blind and the lame1 the woman       
with child and her who travails with    
child together3          a great company
 shall they return here4  #jca3jji ,they
 shall come with weeping2 and with      
petitions will ,i lead them3          ,i

 will cause them to walk by rivers of   
waters1 in a straight way          in   
which they shall not stumble2 for ,i am 
a father to ,israel1          and       
,ephraim is my firstborn4  #jca3jaj     
,hear the word of ,yahweh1 you nations1 
and declare it in the islands           
afar off2 and say1 ,he who scattered    
,israel will gather him1          and   
keep him1 as shepherd does his flock4   
#jca3jaa ,for ,yahweh has ransomed      
,jacob1 and redeemed him from the hand  
of him who was stronger than he4        
#jca3jab ,they shall come and sing in   
the height of ,zion1 and shall flow     
to the goodness of ,yahweh1 to the      
grain1 and to the new wine1          and
 to the oil1 and to the young of the    
flock and of the herd3          and     
their soul shall be as a watered garden2
 and they shall          not sorrow any 
more at all4  #jca3jac ,then shall the  
virgin rejoice in the dance1 and the    
young men          and the old together2
 for ,i will turn their mourning into   

joy1          and will comfort them1 and
 make them rejoice from their sorrow4   
#jca3jad ,i will satiate the soul of the
 priests with fatness1 and my           
people shall be satisfied with my       
goodness1 says ,yahweh4  #jca3jae ,thus 
says ,yahweh3  ,a voice is heard in     
,ramah1 lamentation1          and bitter
 weeping1 ,rachel weeping for her       
children2          she refuses to be    
comforted for her children1 because they
          are no more4  #jca3jaf ,thus  
says ,yahweh3  ,refrain your voice from 
weeping1 and your          eyes from    
tears2 for your work shall be rewarded1 
says ,yahweh2          and they shall   
come again from the land of the enemy4  
#jca3jag ,there is hope for your latter 
end1 says ,yahweh2 and your             
children shall come again to their own  
border4  #jca3jah ,i have surely heard  
,ephraim bemoaning himself thus1        
,you have chastised me1 and ,i was      
chastised1 as a calf                    
unaccustomed to the yoke3 turn you me1  

and ,i shall be turned2          for you
 are ,yahweh my ,god4  #jca3jai ,surely 
after that ,i was turned1 ,i repented2  
and after that ,i          was          
instructed1 ,i struck on my thigh3  ,i  
was ashamed1 yes1          even         
confounded1 because ,i did bear the     
reproach of my youth4  #jca3jbj ,is     
,ephraim my dear son8 is he a darling   
child8 for as often          as ,i speak
 against him1 ,i do earnestly remember  
him still3          therefore my heart  
yearns for him2 ,i will surely have     
mercy          on him1 says ,yahweh4    
#jca3jba ,set up road signs1 make       
guideposts2 set your heart toward       
the highway1 even the way by which you  
went3  turn again1          virgin of   
,israel1 turn again to these your       
cities4  #jca3jbb ,how long will you go 
here and there1 you backsliding         
daughter8 for ,yahweh has created a new 
thing in the earth3          a woman    
shall encompass a man4  #jca3jbc ,thus  
says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of    

,israel1 ,yet again shall they          
use this speech in the land of ,judah   
and in the cities of it1          when  
,i shall bring again their captivity3   
,yahweh bless you1          habitation  
of righteousness1 mountain of holiness4 
#jca3jbd ,judah and all the cities of it
 shall dwell therein together1          
the farmers1 and those who go about with
 flocks4  #jca3jbe ,for ,i have satiated
 the weary soul1 and every sorrowful    
soul          have ,i replenished4      
#jca3jbf ,on this ,i awakened1 and saw2 
and my sleep was sweet to me4  #jca3jbg 
,behold1 the days come1 says ,yahweh1   
that ,i will sow the house          of  
,israel and the house of ,judah with the
 seed of man1          and with the seed
 of animal4  #jca3jbh ,it shall happen  
that1 like as ,i have watched over them 
to pluck up          and to break down  
and to overthrow and to destroy and to  
afflict1          so will ,i watch over 
them to build and to plant1 says        
,yahweh4  #jca3jbi ,in those days they  

shall say no more1 ,the fathers have    
eaten          sour grapes1 and the     
children's teeth are set on edge4       
#jca3jcj ,but everyone shall die for his
 own iniquity3  every man who eats      
the sour grapes1 his teeth shall be set 
on edge4  #jca3jca ,behold1 the days    
come1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will make a 
new          covenant with the house of 
,israel1 and with the house of ,judah3  
#jca3jcb not according to the covenant  
that ,i made with their fathers         
in the day that ,i took them by the hand
 to bring them          out of the land 
of ,egypt2 which my covenant they broke1
          although ,i was a husband to  
them1 says ,yahweh4  #jca3jcc ,but this 
is the covenant that ,i will make with  
the house          of ,israel after     
those days1 says ,yahweh3  ,i will put  
my law          in their inward parts1  
and in their heart will ,i write it2    
and ,i will be their ,god1 and they     
shall be my people3  #jca3jcd and they  
shall teach no more every man his       

neighbor1 and every man          his    
brother1 saying1 ,know ,yahweh2 for they
 shall all know me1          from the   
least of them to the greatest of them1  
says ,yahweh3          for ,i will      
forgive their iniquity1 and their sin   
will ,i          remember no more4      
#jca3jce ,thus says ,yahweh1 who gives  
the sun for a light by day1          and
 the ordinances of the moon and of the  
stars for a light          by night1 who
 stirs up the sea1 so that the waves of 
it roar2          ,yahweh of ,armies is 
his name3  #jca3jcf ,if these ordinances
 depart from before me1 says ,yahweh1   
then the seed of ,israel also shall     
cease from being a nation               
before me forever4  #jca3jcg ,thus says 
,yahweh3  ,if heaven above can be       
measured1          and the foundations  
of the earth searched out beneath1      
then will ,i also cast off all the seed 
of ,israel for all          that they   
have done1 says ,yahweh4  #jca3jch      
,behold1 the days come1 says ,yahweh1   

that the city shall be built          to
 ,yahweh from the tower of ,hananel to  
the gate of the corner4  #jca3jci ,the  
measuring line shall go out further     
straight onward          to the hill    
,gareb1 and shall turn about to ,goah4  
#jca3jdj ,the whole valley of the dead  
bodies and of the ashes1          and   
all the fields to the brook ,kidron1 to 
the corner          of the horse gate   
toward the east1 shall be holy to       
,yahweh2          it shall not be       
plucked up1 nor thrown down any more    
forever4  #jcb3jja ,the word that came  
to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh in the tenth  
year of ,zedekiah king of ,judah1 which 
was the eighteenth          year of     
,nebuchadnezzar4  #jcb3jjb ,now at that 
time the king of ,babylon's army was    
besieging ,jerusalem2          and      
,jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the
 court of the guard1          which was 
in the king of ,judah's house4  #jcb3jjc
 ,for ,zedekiah king of ,judah had shut 
him up1 saying1 ,why do          you    

prophesy1 and say1 ,thus says ,yahweh1  
,behold1 ,i will          give this city
 into the hand of the king of ,babylon1 
and he shall take it2  #jcb3jjd and     
,zedekiah king of ,judah shall not      
escape out of the hand          of the  
,chaldeans1 but shall surely be         
delivered into the hand          of the 
king of ,babylon1 and shall speak with  
him mouth to mouth1          and his    
eyes shall see his eyes2  #jcb3jje and  
he shall bring ,zedekiah to ,babylon1   
and there shall he be until          ,i 
visit him1 says ,yahweh3  though you    
fight with the ,chaldeans1          you 
shall not prosper8  #jcb3jjf ,jeremiah  
said1 ,the word of ,yahweh came to me1  
saying1  #jcb3jjg ,behold1 ,hanamel the 
son of ,shallum your uncle shall come   
to you1 saying1 ,buy you my field that  
is in ,anathoth2          for the right 
of redemption is yours to buy it4       
#jcb3jjh ,so ,hanamel my uncle's son    
came to me in the court of the guard    
according to the word of ,yahweh1 and   

said to me1 ,please buy          my     
field that is in ,anathoth1 which is in 
the land of ,benjamin2          for the 
right of inheritance is yours1 and the  
redemption          is yours2 buy it for
 yourself4  ,then ,i knew that this was 
the word of ,yahweh4  #jcb3jji ,i bought
 the field that was in ,anathoth of     
,hanamel my uncle's son1          and   
weighed him the money1 even seventeen   
shekels of silver4  #jcb3jaj ,i         
subscribed the deed1 and sealed it1 and 
called witnesses1          and weighed  
him the money in the balances4  #jcb3jaa
 ,so ,i took the deed of the purchase1  
both that which was sealed1             
containing the terms and conditions1 and
 that which was open2  #jcb3jab and ,i  
delivered the deed of the purchase to   
,baruch the son of ,neriah1          the
 son of ,mahseiah1 in the presence of   
,hanamel my uncle's son1          and in
 the presence of the witnesses who      
subscribed the deed          of the     
purchase1 before all the ,jews who sat  

in the court          of the guard4     
#jcb3jac ,i charged ,baruch before them1
 saying1  #jcb3jad ,thus says ,yahweh of
 ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel3  ,take   
these deeds1          this deed of the  
purchase which is sealed1 and this deed 
which is open1 and put them in an       
earthen vessel2 that they          may  
continue many days4  #jcb3jae ,for thus 
says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of    
,israel3  ,houses and          fields   
and vineyards shall yet again be bought 
in this land4  #jcb3jaf ,now after ,i   
had delivered the deed of the purchase  
to ,baruch          the son of ,neriah1 
,i prayed to ,yahweh1 saying1  #jcb3jag 
,ah ,lord ,yahweh6 behold1 you have made
 the heavens and          the earth by  
your great power and by your            
outstretched arm2          there is     
nothing too hard for you1  #jcb3jah who 
show loving kindness to thousands1 and  
recompense the iniquity          of the 
fathers into the bosom of their children
 after them2          the great1 the    

mighty ,god1 ,yahweh of ,armies is his  
name2  #jcb3jai great in counsel1 and   
mighty in work2 whose eyes are open on  
all the ways of the sons of men1 to give
 everyone according          to his     
ways1 and according to the fruit of his 
doings3  #jcb3jbj who performed signs   
and wonders in the land of ,egypt1      
even to this day1 both in ,israel and   
among other men2          and made you a
 name1 as in this day2  #jcb3jba and    
brought forth your people ,israel out of
 the land of ,egypt          with signs1
 and with wonders1 and with a strong    
hand1          and with an outstretched 
arm1 and with great terror2  #jcb3jbb   
and gave them this land1 which you did  
swear to their fathers          to give 
them1 a land flowing with milk and      
honey2  #jcb3jbc and they came in1 and  
possessed it1 but they didn't           
obey your voice1 neither walked in your 
law2 they have          done nothing of 
all that you commanded them to do3      
therefore you have caused all this evil 

to come on them4  #jcb3jbd ,behold1 the 
mounds1 they are come to the city to    
take it2          and the city is given 
into the hand of the ,chaldeans who     
fight against it1 because of the sword1 
and of the famine1          and of the  
pestilence2 and what you have spoken has
 happened2          and behold1 you see 
it4  #jcb3jbe ,you have said to me1     
,lord ,yahweh1 ,buy you the field for   
money1          and call witnesses2     
whereas the city is given into the hand 
of the ,chaldeans4  #jcb3jbf ,then came 
the word of ,yahweh to ,jeremiah1       
saying1  #jcb3jbg ,behold1 ,i am        
,yahweh1 the ,god of all flesh3  is     
there anything          too hard for me8
  #jcb3jbh ,therefore thus says ,yahweh3
  ,behold1 ,i will give this city into  
the hand of the ,chaldeans1 and into the
 hand of ,nebuchadnezzar          king  
of ,babylon1 and he shall take it3      
#jcb3jbi and the ,chaldeans1 who fight  
against this city1 shall come           
and set this city on fire1 and burn it1 

with the houses1          on whose roofs
 they have offered incense to ,baal1 and
 poured          out drink offerings to 
other gods1 to provoke me to anger4     
#jcb3jcj ,for the children of ,israel   
and the children of ,judah have         
done only that which was evil in my     
sight from their youth2          for the
 children of ,israel have only provoked 
me to anger          with the work of   
their hands1 says ,yahweh4  #jcb3jca    
,for this city has been to me a         
provocation of my anger and of          
my wrath from the day that they built it
 even to this day2          that ,i     
should remove it from before my face1   
#jcb3jcb because of all the evil of the 
children of ,israel and of the children 
of ,judah1 which they have done to      
provoke me to anger1 they1              
their kings1 their princes1 their       
priests1 and their prophets1            
and the men of ,judah1 and the          
inhabitants of ,jerusalem4  #jcb3jcc    
,they have turned to me the back1 and   

not the face3          and though ,i    
taught them1 rising up early and        
teaching them1          yet they have   
not listened to receive instruction4    
#jcb3jcd ,but they set their            
abominations in the house which is      
called          by my name1 to defile   
it4  #jcb3jce ,they built the high      
places of ,baal1 which are in the valley
          of the son of ,hinnom1 to     
cause their sons and their daughters    
to pass through the fire to ,molech2    
which ,i didn't          command them1  
neither did it come into my mind1 that  
they          should do this            
abomination1 to cause ,judah to sin4    
#jcb3jcf ,now therefore thus says       
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1           
concerning this city1 about which you   
say1 ,it is given into          the hand
 of the king of ,babylon by the sword1  
and by the famine1          and by the  
pestilence3  #jcb3jcg ,behold1 ,i will  
gather them out of all the countries1   
where ,i have driven them in my anger1  

and in my wrath1 and in          great  
indignation2 and ,i will bring them     
again to this place1          and ,i    
will cause them to dwell safely3        
#jcb3jch and they shall be my people1   
and ,i will be their ,god3  #jcb3jci and
 ,i will give them one heart and one    
way1 that they          may fear me     
forever1 for the good of them1 and of   
their          children after them3     
#jcb3jdj and ,i will make an everlasting
 covenant with them1 that ,i            
will not turn away from following them1 
to do them good2          and ,i will   
put my fear in their hearts1 that they  
may not          depart from me4        
#jcb3jda ,yes1 ,i will rejoice over them
 to do them good1 and ,i will plant     
them in this land assuredly with my     
whole heart and with          my whole  
soul4  #jcb3jdb ,for thus says ,yahweh3 
,like as ,i have brought all this great 
evil          on this people1 so will ,i
 bring on them all the good that ,i     
have promised them4  #jcb3jdc ,fields   

shall be bought in this land1 about     
which you say1          ,it is desolate1
 without man or animal2 it is given into
 the hand          of the ,chaldeans4   
#jcb3jdd ,men shall buy fields for      
money1 and subscribe the deeds1         
and seal them1 and call witnesses1 in   
the land of ,benjamin1          and in  
the places about ,jerusalem1 and in the 
cities of ,judah1          and in the   
cities of the hill country1 and in the  
cities          of the lowland1 and in  
the cities of the ,south3          for  
,i will cause their captivity to return1
 says ,yahweh4  #jcc3jja ,moreover the  
word of ,yahweh came to ,jeremiah the   
second time1          while he was yet  
shut up in the court of the guard1      
saying1  #jcc3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh who
 does it1 ,yahweh who forms it to       
establish it2          ,yahweh is his   
name3  #jcc3jjc ,call to me1 and ,i will
 answer you1 and will show you great    
things1          and difficult1 which   
you don't know4  #jcc3jjd ,for thus says

 ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1          
concerning the houses          of this  
city1 and concerning the houses of the  
kings of ,judah1          which are     
broken down to make a defense against   
the mounds          and against the     
sword2  #jcc3jje while men come to fight
 with the ,chaldeans1 and to fill them  
with the dead bodies of men1 whom ,i    
have killed in my anger          and in 
my wrath1 and for all whose wickedness  
,i have hid          my face from this  
city3  #jcc3jjf ,behold1 ,i will bring  
it health and cure1 and ,i will cure    
them2          and ,i will reveal to    
them abundance of peace and truth4      
#jcc3jjg ,i will cause the captivity of 
,judah and the captivity of ,israel     
to return1 and will build them1 as at   
the first4  #jcc3jjh ,i will cleanse    
them from all their iniquity1 by which  
they          have sinned against me2   
and ,i will pardon all their iniquities1
          by which they have sinned     
against me1 and by which they           

have transgressed against me4  #jcc3jji 
,this city shall be to me for a name of 
joy1 for a praise          and for a    
glory1 before all the nations of the    
earth1          which shall hear all the
 good that ,i do to them1 and shall     
fear and tremble for all the good and   
for all the peace that ,i               
procure to it4  #jcc3jaj ,thus says     
,yahweh3  ,yet again there shall be     
heard in this place1          about     
which you say1 ,it is waste1 without man
 and without animal1          even in   
the cities of ,judah1 and in the streets
 of ,jerusalem1          that are       
desolate1 without man and without       
inhabitant          and without animal1 
#jcc3jaa the voice of joy and the voice 
of gladness1 the voice of          the  
bridegroom and the voice of the bride1  
the voice of those          who say1    
,give thanks to ,yahweh of ,armies1 for 
,yahweh is good1          for his loving
 kindness endures forever2 and of them  
who          bring sacrifices of        

thanksgiving into the house of ,yahweh4 
,for ,i will cause the captivity of the 
land to return as at          the first1
 says ,yahweh4  #jcc3jab ,thus says     
,yahweh of ,armies3  ,yet again shall   
there be in          this place1 which  
is waste1 without man and without       
animal1          and in all the cities  
of it1 a habitation of shepherds causing
          their flocks to lie down4     
#jcc3jac ,in the cities of the hill     
country1 in the cities of the lowland1  
and in the cities of the ,south1 and in 
the land of ,benjamin1          and in  
the places about ,jerusalem1 and in the 
cities of ,judah1          shall the    
flocks again pass under the hands of him
 who          numbers them1 says        
,yahweh4  #jcc3jad ,behold1 the days    
come1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will perform
 that          good word which ,i have  
spoken concerning the house of ,israel  
and concerning the house of ,judah4     
#jcc3jae ,in those days1 and at that    
time1 will ,i cause a ,branch           

of righteousness to grow up to ,david2  
and he shall execute          justice   
and righteousness in the land4  #jcc3jaf
 ,in those days shall ,judah be saved1  
and ,jerusalem shall dwell safely2      
and this is the name by which she shall 
be called3          ,yahweh our         
righteousness4  #jcc3jag ,for thus says 
,yahweh3  ,david shall never want a man 
to sit          on the throne of the    
house of ,israel2  #jcc3jah neither     
shall the priests the ,levites want a   
man before me          to offer burnt   
offerings1 and to burn meal offerings1  
and to do sacrifice continually4        
#jcc3jai ,the word of ,yahweh came to   
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jcc3jbj ,thus says 
,yahweh3  ,if you can break my covenant 
of the day1          and my covenant of 
the night1 so that there shall not be   
day          and night in their season2 
#jcc3jba then may also my covenant be   
broken with ,david my servant1          
that he shall not have a son to reign on
 his throne2          and with the      

,levites the priests1 my ministers4     
#jcc3jbb ,as the army of the sky can't  
be numbered1 neither the sand           
of the sea measured2 so will ,i multiply
 the seed of ,david          my servant1
 and the ,levites who minister to me4   
#jcc3jbc ,the word of ,yahweh came to   
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jcc3jbd ,don't you 
consider what this people has spoken1   
saying1 ,the two          families which
 ,yahweh did choose1 he has cast them   
off8          thus do they despise my   
people1 that they should be no more     
a nation before them4  #jcc3jbe ,thus   
says ,yahweh3  ,if my covenant of day   
and night fails1          if ,i have not
 appointed the ordinances of heaven and 
earth2  #jcc3jbf then will ,i also cast 
away the seed of ,jacob1 and of ,david  
my servant1 so that ,i will not take of 
his seed to be          rulers over the 
seed of ,abraham1 ,isaac1 and ,jacob3   
for ,i will cause their captivity to    
return1 and will have          mercy on 
them4  #jcd3jja ,the word which came to 

,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 when            
,nebuchadnezzar          king of        
,babylon1 and all his army1 and all the 
kingdoms of          the earth that were
 under his dominion1 and all the        
peoples1          were fighting against 
,jerusalem1 and against all the cities  
of it1 saying3  #jcd3jjb ,thus says     
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,go1 and  
speak to ,zedekiah          king of     
,judah1 and tell him1 ,thus says        
,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i will          give 
this city into the hand of the king of  
,babylon1          and he shall burn it 
with fire3  #jcd3jjc and you shall not  
escape out of his hand1 but shall surely
          be taken1 and delivered into  
his hand2 and your eyes shall see       
the eyes of the king of ,babylon1 and he
 shall speak with you          mouth to 
mouth1 and you shall go to ,babylon4    
#jcd3jjd ,yet hear the word of ,yahweh1 
,o ,zedekiah king of ,judah3            
thus says ,yahweh concerning you1 ,you  
shall not die by the sword2  #jcd3jje   

you shall die in peace2 and with the    
burnings of your fathers1          the  
former kings who were before you1 so    
shall they make          a burning for  
you2 and they shall lament you1 saying1 
,ah ,lord6          for ,i have spoken  
the word1 says ,yahweh4  #jcd3jjf ,then 
,jeremiah the prophet spoke all these   
words to ,zedekiah          king of     
,judah in ,jerusalem1  #jcd3jjg when the
 king of ,babylon's army was fighting   
against ,jerusalem1          and against
 all the cities of ,judah that were     
left1          against ,lachish and     
against ,azekah2 for these alone        
remained          of the cities of      
,judah as fortified cities4  #jcd3jjh   
,the word that came to ,jeremiah from   
,yahweh1 after that the king            
,zedekiah had made a covenant with all  
the people who were          at         
,jerusalem1 to proclaim liberty to them2
  #jcd3jji that every man should let his
 male servant1 and every man            
his female servant1 who is a ,hebrew or 

a ,hebrewess1 go free2          that    
none should make bondservants of them1  
to wit1          of a ,jew his brother4 
#jcd3jaj ,all the princes and all the   
people obeyed1 who had entered          
into the covenant1 that everyone should 
let his male servant1          and      
everyone his female servant1 go free1   
that none should make                   
bondservants of them any more2 they     
obeyed1 and let them go3  #jcd3jaa but  
afterwards they turned1 and caused the  
servants and the handmaids1             
whom they had let go free1 to return1   
and brought them into                   
subjection for servants and for         
handmaids4  #jcd3jab ,therefore the word
 of ,yahweh came to ,jeremiah from      
,yahweh1 saying1  #jcd3jac ,thus says   
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel3  ,i made a
 covenant          with your fathers in 
the day that ,i brought them forth out  
of the land of ,egypt1 out of the house 
of bondage1 saying1  #jcd3jad ,at the   
end of seven years you shall let go     

every man his          brother who is a 
,hebrew1 who has been sold to you1 and  
has          served you six years1 you  
shall let him go free from you3         
but your fathers didn't listen to me1   
neither inclined their ear4  #jcd3jae   
,you were now turned1 and had done that 
which is right in my eyes1          in  
proclaiming liberty every man to his    
neighbor2 and you          had made a   
covenant before me in the house which is
 called          by my name3  #jcd3jaf  
but you turned and profaned my name1 and
 caused every man          his servant1 
and every man his handmaid1 whom you had
 let          go free at their pleasure1
 to return2 and you brought them        
into subjection1 to be to you for       
servants and for handmaids4  #jcd3jag   
,therefore thus says ,yahweh3  you have 
not listened to me1          to proclaim
 liberty1 every man to his brother1 and 
every          man to his neighbor3     
behold1 ,i proclaim to you a liberty1   
says ,yahweh1 to the sword1 to the      

pestilence1 and to the famine2          
and ,i will make you to be tossed back  
and forth among all          the        
kingdoms of the earth4  #jcd3jah ,i will
 give the men who have transgressed my  
covenant1          who have not         
performed the words of the covenant     
which they          made before me1 when
 they cut the calf in two and passed    
between the parts of it2  #jcd3jai the  
princes of ,judah1 and the princes of   
,jerusalem1 the eunuchs1          and   
the priests1 and all the people of the  
land1 who passed          between the   
parts of the calf2  #jcd3jbj ,i will    
even give them into the hand of their   
enemies1          and into the hand of  
those who seek their life2 and their    
dead bodies shall be for food to the    
birds of the sky1          and to the   
animals of the earth4  #jcd3jba         
,zedekiah king of ,judah and his princes
 will ,i give into          the hand of 
their enemies1 and into the hand of     
those who seek          their life1 and 

into the hand of the king of ,babylon's 
army1          who have gone away from  
you4  #jcd3jbb ,behold1 ,i will command1
 says ,yahweh1 and cause them to return 
to this city2 and they shall fight      
against it1 and take it1          and   
burn it with fire3  and ,i will make the
 cities of ,judah          a desolation1
 without inhabitant4  #jce3jja ,the word
 which came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh in
 the days          of ,jehoiakim the son
 of ,josiah1 king of ,judah1 saying1    
#jce3jjb ,go to the house of the        
,rechabites1 and speak to them1 and     
bring          them into the house of   
,yahweh1 into one of the chambers1      
and give them wine to drink4  #jce3jjc  
,then ,i took ,jaazaniah the son of     
,jeremiah1 the son of ,habazziniah1     
and his brothers1 and all his sons1 and 
the whole house          of the         
,rechabites2  #jce3jjd and ,i brought   
them into the house of ,yahweh1 into the
 chamber          of the sons of ,hanan 
the son of ,igdaliah1 the man of ,god1  

which was by the chamber of the princes1
 which was above          the chamber of
 ,maaseiah the son of ,shallum1 the     
keeper          of the threshold4       
#jce3jje ,i set before the sons of the  
house of the ,rechabites bowls          
full of wine1 and cups2 and ,i said to  
them1 ,drink you wine4  #jce3jjf ,but   
they said1 ,we will drink no wine2 for  
,jonadab the son of ,rechab1            
our father1 commanded us1 saying1 ,you  
shall drink no wine1          neither   
you1 nor your sons1 forever3  #jce3jjg  
neither shall you build house1 nor sow  
seed1 nor plant vineyard1          nor  
have any2 but all your days you shall   
dwell in tents2          that you may   
live many days in the land in which you 
sojourn4  #jce3jjh ,we have obeyed the  
voice of ,jonadab the son of ,rechab1   
our father1 in all that he charged us1  
to drink no wine all          our days1 
we1 our wives1 our sons1 or our         
daughters2  #jce3jji nor to build houses
 for us to dwell in2 neither have we    

vineyard1          nor field1 nor seed3 
#jce3jaj but we have lived in tents1 and
 have obeyed1 and done according        
to all that ,jonadab our father         
commanded us4  #jce3jaa ,but it         
happened1 when ,nebuchadnezzar king of  
,babylon came up          into the land1
 that we said1 ,come1 and let us go to  
,jerusalem          for fear of the army
 of the ,chaldeans1 and for fear of the 
army          of the ,syrians2 so we    
dwell at ,jerusalem4  #jce3jab ,then    
came the word of ,yahweh to ,jeremiah1  
saying1  #jce3jac ,thus says ,yahweh of 
,armies1 the ,god of ,israel3  ,go1 and 
tell          the men of ,judah and the 
inhabitants of ,jerusalem1 ,will you    
not receive instruction to listen to my 
words8 says ,yahweh4  #jce3jad ,the     
words of ,jonadab the son of ,rechab1   
that he commanded          his sons1 not
 to drink wine1 are performed2 and to   
this day          they drink none1 for  
they obey their father's commandment3   
but ,i have spoken to you1 rising up    

early and speaking2          and you    
have not listened to me4  #jce3jae ,i   
have sent also to you all my servants   
the prophets1          rising up early  
and sending them1 saying1 ,return you   
now every man from his evil way1 and    
amend your doings1          and don't go
 after other gods to serve them1 and you
 shall dwell          in the land which 
,i have given to you and to your        
fathers3          but you have not      
inclined your ear1 nor listened to me4  
#jce3jaf ,because the sons of ,jonadab  
the son of ,rechab have performed       
the commandment of their father which he
 commanded them1          but this      
people has not listened to me2  #jce3jag
 therefore thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god  
of ,armies1 the ,god          of        
,israel3  ,behold1 ,i will bring on     
,judah and on all the inhabitants       
of ,jerusalem all the evil that ,i have 
pronounced against them2                
because ,i have spoken to them1 but they
 have not heard2          and ,i have   

called to them1 but they have not       
answered4  #jce3jah ,jeremiah said to   
the house of the ,rechabites1 ,thus says
 ,yahweh          of ,armies1 the ,god  
of ,israel3  ,because you have obeyed   
the          commandment of ,jonadab    
your father1 and kept all his precepts1 
and done according to all that he       
commanded you2  #jce3jai therefore thus 
says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of    
,israel3  ,jonadab the          son of  
,rechab shall not want a man to stand   
before me forever4  #jcf3jja ,it        
happened in the fourth year of          
,jehoiakim the son of ,josiah1          
king of ,judah1 that this word came to  
,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 saying1         
#jcf3jjb ,take a scroll of a book1 and  
write therein all the words             
that ,i have spoken to you against      
,israel1 and against ,judah1            
and against all the nations1 from the   
day ,i spoke to you1          from the  
days of ,josiah1 even to this day4      
#jcf3jjc ,it may be that the house of   

,judah will hear all the evil           
which ,i purpose to do to them2 that    
they may return every          man from 
his evil way2 that ,i may forgive their 
iniquity          and their sin4        
#jcf3jjd ,then ,jeremiah called ,baruch 
the son of ,neriah2 and ,baruch         
wrote from the mouth of ,jeremiah all   
the words of ,yahweh1          which he 
had spoken to him1 on a scroll of a     
book4  #jcf3jje ,jeremiah commanded     
,baruch1 saying1 ,i am shut up2 ,i can't
 go          into the house of ,yahweh3 
#jcf3jjf therefore go you1 and read in  
the scroll1 which you have written      
from my mouth1 the words of ,yahweh in  
the ears of the people          in      
,yahweh's house on the fast day2 and    
also you shall read          them in the
 ears of all ,judah who come out of     
their cities4  #jcf3jjg ,it may be they 
will present their supplication before  
,yahweh1          and will return       
everyone from his evil way2 for great is
 the anger          and the wrath that  

,yahweh has pronounced against this     
people4  #jcf3jjh ,baruch the son of    
,neriah did according to all that       
,jeremiah          the prophet commanded
 him1 reading in the book the words     
of ,yahweh in ,yahweh's house4  #jcf3jji
 ,now it happened in the fifth year of  
,jehoiakim the son of ,josiah1          
king of ,judah1 in the ninth month1 that
 all the people          in ,jerusalem1 
and all the people who came from the    
cities          of ,judah to ,jerusalem1
 proclaimed a fast before ,yahweh4      
#jcf3jaj ,then read ,baruch in the book 
the words of ,jeremiah in the house     
of ,yahweh1 in the chamber of ,gemariah 
the son of ,shaphan1          the       
scribe1 in the upper court1 at the entry
 of the new gate          of ,yahweh's  
house1 in the ears of all the people4   
#jcf3jaa ,when ,micaiah the son of      
,gemariah1 the son of ,shaphan1         
had heard out of the book all the words 
of ,yahweh1  #jcf3jab he went down into 
the king's house1 into the scribe's     

chamber3          and behold1 all the   
princes were sitting there1 to wit1     
,elishama the scribe1 and ,delaiah the  
son of ,shemaiah1          and ,elnathan
 the son of ,achbor1 and ,gemariah the  
son of ,shaphan1          and ,zedekiah 
the son of ,hananiah1 and all the       
princes4  #jcf3jac ,then ,micaiah       
declared to them all the words that he  
had heard1          when ,baruch read   
the book in the ears of the people4     
#jcf3jad ,therefore all the princes sent
 ,jehudi the son of ,nethaniah1         
the son of ,shelemiah1 the son of       
,cushi1 to ,baruch1 saying1             
,take in your hand the scroll in which  
you have read in the ears          of   
the people1 and come4  ,so ,baruch the  
son of ,neriah took          the scroll 
in his hand1 and came to them4  #jcf3jae
 ,they said to him1 ,sit down now1 and  
read it in our ears4          ,so       
,baruch read it in their ears4  #jcf3jaf
 ,now it happened1 when they had heard  
all the words1 they turned          in  

fear one toward another1 and said to    
,baruch1 ,we will surely          tell  
the king of all these words4  #jcf3jag  
,they asked ,baruch1 saying1 ,tell us   
now1 ,how did you write          all    
these words at his mouth8  #jcf3jah     
,then ,baruch answered them1 ,he        
pronounced all these words to me        
with his mouth1 and ,i wrote them with  
ink in the book4  #jcf3jai ,then said   
the princes to ,baruch1 ,go1 hide you1  
you and ,jeremiah2          and let no  
man know where you are4  #jcf3jbj ,they 
went in to the king into the court2 but 
they had laid          up the scroll in 
the chamber of ,elishama the scribe2    
and they told all the words in the ears 
of the king4  #jcf3jba ,so the king sent
 ,jehudi to get the scroll2 and he took 
it          out of the chamber of       
,elishama the scribe4  ,jehudi read it  
in the ears of the king1 and in the ears
 of all the princes          who stood  
beside the king4  #jcf3jbb ,now the king
 was sitting in the winter house in the 

ninth month3          and there was a   
fire in the brazier burning before him4 
#jcf3jbc ,it happened1 when ,jehudi had 
read three or four leaves1          that
 the king cut it with the penknife1 and 
cast it into          the fire that was 
in the brazier1 until all the scroll was
          consumed in the fire that was 
in the brazier4  #jcf3jbd ,they were not
 afraid1 nor tore their garments1       
neither the king1          nor any of   
his servants who heard all these words4 
#jcf3jbe ,moreover ,elnathan and        
,delaiah and ,gemariah had made         
intercession to the king that he would  
not burn the scroll2          but he    
would not hear them4  #jcf3jbf ,the king
 commanded ,jerahmeel the king's son1   
and ,seraiah the son          of        
,azriel1 and ,shelemiah the son of      
,abdeel1 to take ,baruch          the   
scribe and ,jeremiah the prophet2 but   
,yahweh hid them4  #jcf3jbg ,then the   
word of ,yahweh came to ,jeremiah1 after
 that the king          had burned the  

scroll1 and the words which ,baruch     
wrote          at the mouth of          
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jcf3jbh ,take again
 another scroll1 and write in it all the
 former          words that were in the 
first scroll1 which ,jehoiakim the king 
of ,judah has burned4  #jcf3jbi         
,concerning ,jehoiakim king of ,judah   
you shall say1          ,thus says      
,yahweh3  ,you have burned this scroll1 
saying1          ,why have you written  
therein1 saying1 ,the king of ,babylon  
shall certainly come and destroy this   
land1 and shall cause          to cease 
from there man and animal8  #jcf3jcj    
,therefore thus says ,yahweh concerning 
,jehoiakim king          of ,judah3  ,he
 shall have none to sit on the throne of
 ,david2          and his dead body     
shall be cast out in the day to the     
heat1          and in the night to the  
frost4  #jcf3jca ,i will punish him and 
his seed and his servants for their     
iniquity2          and ,i will bring on 
them1 and on the inhabitants of         

,jerusalem1          and on the men of  
,judah1 all the evil that ,i have       
pronounced          against them1 but   
they didn't listen4  #jcf3jcb ,then took
 ,jeremiah another scroll1 and gave it  
to ,baruch          the scribe1 the son 
of ,neriah1 who wrote therein from the  
mouth          of ,jeremiah all the     
words of the book which ,jehoiakim king 
of ,judah had burned in the fire2 and   
there were added besides          to    
them many like words4  #jcg3jja         
,zedekiah the son of ,josiah reigned as 
king1 instead of ,coniah          the   
son of ,jehoiakim1 whom ,nebuchadnezzar 
king of ,babylon          made king in  
the land of ,judah4  #jcg3jjb ,but      
neither he1 nor his servants1 nor the   
people of the land1          did listen 
to the words of ,yahweh1 which he spoke 
by          the prophet ,jeremiah4      
#jcg3jjc ,zedekiah the king sent        
,jehucal the son of ,shelemiah1 and     
,zephaniah          the son of          
,maaseiah1 the priest1 to the prophet   

,jeremiah1          saying1 ,pray now to
 ,yahweh our ,god for us4  #jcg3jjd ,now
 ,jeremiah came in and went out among   
the people2 for they          had not   
put him into prison4  #jcg3jje          
,pharaoh's army was come forth out of   
,egypt2 and when the          ,chaldeans
 who were besieging ,jerusalem heard    
news of them1          they broke up    
from ,jerusalem4  #jcg3jjf ,then came   
the word of ,yahweh to the prophet      
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jcg3jjg ,thus says 
,yahweh1 the ,god of ,israel1 ,thus     
shall you tell          the king of     
,judah1 who sent you to me to inquire of
 me3          ,behold1 ,pharaoh's army1 
which is come forth to help you1        
shall return to ,egypt into their own   
land4  #jcg3jjh ,the ,chaldeans shall   
come again1 and fight against this city2
          and they shall take it1 and   
burn it with fire4  #jcg3jji ,thus says 
,yahweh1 ,don't deceive yourselves1     
saying1 ,the ,chaldeans          shall  
surely depart from us2 for they shall   

not depart4  #jcg3jaj ,for though you   
had struck the whole army of the        
,chaldeans          who fight against   
you1 and there remained but wounded men 
among them1 yes would they rise up every
 man in his tent1          and burn this
 city with fire4  #jcg3jaa ,it happened 
that1 when the army of the ,chaldeans   
was broken          up from ,jerusalem  
for fear of ,pharaoh's army1  #jcg3jab  
then ,jeremiah went forth out of        
,jerusalem to go into the land          
of ,benjamin1 to receive his portion    
there1 in the midst          of the     
people4  #jcg3jac ,when he was in the   
gate of ,benjamin1 a captain of the     
guard          was there1 whose name was
 ,irijah1 the son of ,shelemiah1        
the son of ,hananiah2 and he laid hold  
on ,jeremiah the prophet1               
saying1 ,you are falling away to the    
,chaldeans4  #jcg3jad ,then said        
,jeremiah1 ,it is false2 ,i am not      
falling away to          the ,chaldeans4
  ,but he didn't listen to him2 so      

,irijah laid          hold on ,jeremiah1
 and brought him to the princes4        
#jcg3jae ,the princes were angry with   
,jeremiah1 and struck him1          and 
put him in prison in the house of       
,jonathan the scribe2          for they 
had made that the prison4  #jcg3jaf     
,when ,jeremiah was come into the       
dungeon house1 and into the cells1      
and ,jeremiah had remained there many   
days2  #jcg3jag ,then ,zedekiah the king
 sent1 and fetched him3          and the
 king asked him secretly in his house1  
and said1          ,is there any word   
from ,yahweh8  ,jeremiah said1 ,there   
is4          ,he said also1 ,you shall  
be delivered into the hand of the       
king of ,babylon4  #jcg3jah ,moreover   
,jeremiah said to king ,zedekiah1       
,wherein have ,i sinned          against
 you1 or against your servants1 or      
against this people1          that you  
have put me in prison8  #jcg3jai ,where 
now are your prophets who prophesied to 
you1 saying1 ,the king          of      

,babylon shall not come against you1 nor
 against this land8  #jcg3jbj ,now      
please hear1 my lord the king3  please  
let my supplication          be         
presented before you1 that you not cause
 me to return          to the house of  
,jonathan the scribe1 lest ,i die there4
  #jcg3jba ,then ,zedekiah the king     
commanded1 and they committed ,jeremiah 
into the court of the guard2 and they   
gave him daily a loaf          of bread 
out of the bakers' street1 until all the
 bread          in the city was spent4  
,thus ,jeremiah remained in the court   
of the guard4  #jch3jja ,shephatiah the 
son of ,mattan1 and ,gedaliah the son of
 ,pashhur1          and ,jucal the son  
of ,shelemiah1 and ,pashhur the son of  
,malchijah1          heard the words    
that ,jeremiah spoke to all the people1 
saying1  #jch3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh1   
,he who remains in this city shall die  
by the sword1 by the famine1 and by the 
pestilence2          but he who goes    
forth to the ,chaldeans shall live1 and 

his          life shall be to him for a 
prey1 and he shall live4  #jch3jjc ,thus
 says ,yahweh1 ,this city shall surely  
be given into the hand          of the  
army of the king of ,babylon1 and he    
shall take it4  #jch3jjd ,then the      
princes said to the king1 ,let this man1
 we pray you1          be put to death2 
because he weakens the hands of the men 
of war          who remain in this city1
 and the hands of all the people1       
in speaking such words to them3  for    
this man doesn't seek          the      
welfare of this people1 but the hurt4   
#jch3jje ,zedekiah the king said1       
,behold1 he is in your hand2            
for the king is not he who can do       
anything against you4  #jch3jjf ,then   
took they ,jeremiah1 and cast him into  
the dungeon of          ,malchijah the  
king's son1 that was in the court of the
 guard3          and they let down      
,jeremiah with cords4  ,in the dungeon  
there          was no water1 but mire2  
and ,jeremiah sank in the mire4         

#jch3jjg ,now when ,ebedmelech the      
,ethiopian1 a eunuch1 who was in the    
king's house1 heard that they had put   
,jeremiah in the dungeon          7the  
king then sitting in the gate of        
,benjamin71  #jch3jjh ,ebedmelech went  
forth out of the king's house1 and spoke
          to the king1 saying1  #jch3jji
 ,my lord the king1 these men have done 
evil in all that they          have done
 to ,jeremiah the prophet1 whom they    
have cast into          the dungeon2 and
 he is likely to die in the place where 
he is1          because of the famine2  
for there is no more bread in the city4 
#jch3jaj ,then the king commanded       
,ebedmelech the ,ethiopian1 saying1     
,take from hence thirty men with you1   
and take up ,jeremiah          the      
prophet out of the dungeon1 before he   
dies4  #jch3jaa ,so ,ebedmelech took the
 men with him1 and went into the house  
of the king under the treasury1 and took
 there rags          and worn-out       
garments1 and let them down by cords    

into          the dungeon to ,jeremiah4 
#jch3jab ,ebedmelech the ,ethiopian said
 to ,jeremiah1 ,put now these rags      
and worn-out garments under your        
armholes under the cords4               
,jeremiah did so4  #jch3jac ,so they    
drew up ,jeremiah with the cords1 and   
took him up          out of the dungeon3
  and ,jeremiah remained in the court   
of the guard4  #jch3jad ,then ,zedekiah 
the king sent1 and took ,jeremiah the   
prophet          to him into the third  
entry that is in the house of ,yahweh3  
and the king said to ,jeremiah1 ,i will 
ask you a thing2          hide nothing  
from me4  #jch3jae ,then ,jeremiah said 
to ,zedekiah1 ,if ,i declare it to you1 
will you not surely put me to death8 and
 if ,i give you counsel1          you   
will not listen to me4  #jch3jaf ,so    
,zedekiah the king swore secretly to    
,jeremiah1 saying1          ,as ,yahweh 
lives1 who made us this soul1 ,i will   
not put you          to death1 neither  
will ,i give you into the hand of these 

men          who seek your life4        
#jch3jag ,then said ,jeremiah to        
,zedekiah1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god 
of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel3  ,if   
you will go forth to the king           
of ,babylon's princes1 then your soul   
shall live1 and this          city shall
 not be burned with fire2 and you shall 
live1          and your house4  #jch3jah
 ,but if you will not go forth to the   
king of ,babylon's princes1             
then shall this city be given into the  
hand of the ,chaldeans1          and    
they shall burn it with fire1 and you   
shall not escape          out of their  
hand4  #jch3jai ,zedekiah the king said 
to ,jeremiah1 ,i am afraid of the ,jews 
who are fallen away to the ,chaldeans1  
lest they deliver me          into their
 hand1 and they mock me4  #jch3jbj ,but 
,jeremiah said1 ,they shall not deliver 
you4  ,obey1 ,i beg you1          the   
voice of ,yahweh1 in that which ,i speak
 to you3          so it shall be well   
with you1 and your soul shall live4     

#jch3jba ,but if you refuse to go forth1
 this is the word that ,yahweh          
has shown me3  #jch3jbb behold1 all the 
women who are left in the king of       
,judah's house          shall be brought
 forth to the king of ,babylon's        
princes1          and those women shall 
say1 ,your familiar friends have set you
 on1          and have prevailed over   
you3  now that your feet are sunk       
in the mire1 they are turned away back4 
#jch3jbc ,they shall bring out all your 
wives and your children to          the 
,chaldeans2 and you shall not escape out
 of their hand1          but shall be   
taken by the hand of the king of        
,babylon3          and you shall cause  
this city to be burned with fire4       
#jch3jbd ,then said ,zedekiah to        
,jeremiah1 ,let no man know of these    
words1          and you shall not die4  
#jch3jbe ,but if the princes hear that  
,i have talked with you1 and they       
come to you1 and tell you1 ,declare to  
us now what you have said          to   

the king2 don't hide it from us1 and we 
will not put you          to death2 also
 what the king said to you3  #jch3jbf   
then you shall tell them1 ,i presented  
my supplication before the king1        
that he would not cause me to return to 
,jonathan's house1          to die      
there4  #jch3jbg ,then came all the     
princes to ,jeremiah1 and asked him2    
and he told them according to all these 
words that the king          had        
commanded4  ,so they left off speaking  
with him2          for the matter was   
not perceived4  #jch3jbh ,so ,jeremiah  
abode in the court of the guard until   
the day          that ,jerusalem was    
taken4  #jci3jja ,it happened when      
,jerusalem was taken1 7in the ninth year
 of          ,zedekiah king of ,judah1  
in the tenth month1 came ,nebuchadnezzar
          king of ,babylon and all his  
army against ,jerusalem1          and   
besieged it2  #jci3jjb in the eleventh  
year of ,zedekiah1 in the fourth month1 
the ninth day of the month1 a breach was

 made in the city71  #jci3jjc that all  
the princes of the king of ,babylon came
 in1          and sat in the middle     
gate1 to wit1 ,nergal ,sharezer1        
,samgarnebo1 ,sarsechim1 ,rabsaris1     
,nergal ,sharezer1 ,rabmag1             
with all the rest of the princes of the 
king of ,babylon4  #jci3jjd ,it happened
 that1 when ,zedekiah the king of ,judah
 and all          the men of war saw    
them1 then they fled1 and went forth    
out of the city by night1 by the way of 
the king's garden1          through the 
gate between the two walls2 and he went 
out          toward the ,arabah4        
#jci3jje ,but the army of the ,chaldeans
 pursued after them1 and overtook       
,zedekiah in the plains of ,jericho3    
and when they had taken him1            
they brought him up to ,nebuchadnezzar  
king of ,babylon to ,riblah          in 
the land of ,hamath2 and he gave        
judgment on him4  #jci3jjf ,then the    
king of ,babylon killed the sons of     
,zedekiah in ,riblah          before his

 eyes3  also the king of ,babylon killed
 all          the nobles of ,judah4     
#jci3jjg ,moreover he put out           
,zedekiah's eyes1 and bound him in      
fetters1          to carry him to       
,babylon4  #jci3jjh ,the ,chaldeans     
burned the king's house1 and the houses 
of the people1          with fire1 and  
broke down the walls of ,jerusalem4     
#jci3jji ,then ,nebuzaradan the captain 
of the guard carried away captive       
into ,babylon the residue of the people 
who remained in the city1          the  
deserters also who fell away to him1 and
 the residue          of the people who 
remained4  #jci3jaj ,but ,nebuzaradan   
the captain of the guard left of the    
poor          of the people1 who had    
nothing1 in the land of ,judah1         
and gave them vineyards and fields at   
the same time4  #jci3jaa ,now           
,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon gave   
charge concerning          ,jeremiah to 
,nebuzaradan the captain of the guard1  
saying1  #jci3jab ,take him1 and look   

well to him1 and do him no harm2        
but do to him even as he shall tell you4
  #jci3jac ,so ,nebuzaradan the captain 
of the guard sent1          and         
,nebushazban1 ,rabsaris1 and ,nergal    
,sharezer1 ,rabmag1 and all          the
 chief officers of the king of ,babylon2
  #jci3jad they sent1 and took ,jeremiah
 out of the court of the guard1         
and committed him to ,gedaliah the son  
of ,ahikam1          the son of         
,shaphan1 that he should carry him home3
          so he lived among the people4 
#jci3jae ,now the word of ,yahweh came  
to ,jeremiah1 while he was shut up      
in the court of the guard1 saying1      
#jci3jaf ,go1 and speak to ,ebedmelech  
the ,ethiopian1 saying1 ,thus says      
,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of ,israel3
  ,behold1 ,i will bring          my    
words on this city for evil1 and not for
 good2 and they          shall be       
accomplished before you in that day4    
#jci3jag ,but ,i will deliver you in    
that day1 says ,yahweh2 and you shall   

not be given into the hand of the men of
 whom you are afraid4  #jci3jah ,for ,i 
will surely save you1 and you shall not 
fall by the sword1          but your    
life shall be for a prey to you2 because
 you have put          your trust in me1
 says ,yahweh4  #jdj3jja ,the word which
 came to ,jeremiah from ,yahweh1 after  
that          ,nebuzaradan the captain  
of the guard had let him go from ,ramah1
          when he had taken him being   
bound in chains among all          the  
captives of ,jerusalem and ,judah1 who  
were carried away          captive to   
,babylon4  #jdj3jjb ,the captain of the 
guard took ,jeremiah1 and said to him1  
,yahweh your ,god pronounced this evil  
on this place2  #jdj3jjc and ,yahweh has
 brought it1 and done according as he   
spoke3          because you have sinned 
against ,yahweh1 and have not obeyed    
his voice1 therefore this thing is come 
on you4  #jdj3jjd ,now1 behold1 ,i loose
 you this day from the chains which are 
on your hand4  ,if it seems good to you 

to come with me          into ,babylon1 
come1 and ,i will take care of you2 but 
if it          seems bad to you to come 
with me into ,babylon1 don't3 behold1   
all the land is before you2 where it    
seems good and right          to you to 
go1 there go4  #jdj3jje ,now while he   
was not yet gone back1 ,go back then1   
said he1          to ,gedaliah the son  
of ,ahikam1 the son of ,shaphan1 whom   
the king          of ,babylon has made  
governor over the cities of ,judah1     
and dwell with him among the people2 or 
go wherever it seems          right to  
you to go4  ,so the captain of the guard
 gave him          food and a present1  
and let him go4  #jdj3jjf ,then went    
,jeremiah to ,gedaliah the son of       
,ahikam to ,mizpah1          and lived  
with him among the people who were left 
in the land4  #jdj3jjg ,now when all the
 captains of the forces who were in the 
fields1          even they and their    
men1 heard that the king of ,babylon    
had made ,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam   

governor in the land1          and had  
committed to him men1 and women1 and    
children1          and of the poorest of
 the land1 of those who were not carried
          away captive to ,babylon2     
#jdj3jjh then they came to ,gedaliah to 
,mizpah1 to wit1 ,ishmael the son       
of ,nethaniah1 and ,johanan and         
,jonathan the sons of ,kareah1          
and ,seraiah the son of ,tanhumeth1 and 
the sons of ,ephai          the         
,netophathite1 and ,jezaniah the son of 
the ,maacathite1          they and their
 men4  #jdj3jji ,gedaliah the son of    
,ahikam the son of ,shaphan swore to    
them and          to their men1 saying1 
,don't be afraid to serve the           
,chaldeans3          dwell in the land1 
and serve the king of ,babylon1 and it  
shall be well with you4  #jdj3jaj ,as   
for me1 behold1 ,i will dwell at        
,mizpah1 to stand before          the   
,chaldeans who shall come to us3  but   
you1 gather you wine          and summer
 fruits and oil1 and put them in your   

vessels1          and dwell in your     
cities that you have taken4  #jdj3jaa   
,likewise when all the ,jews who were in
 ,moab1 and among the children          
of ,ammon1 and in ,edom1 and who were in
 all the countries1          heard that 
the king of ,babylon had left a remnant 
of ,judah1          and that he had set 
over them ,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam1 
the son of ,shaphan2  #jdj3jab then all 
the ,jews returned out of all places    
where they          were driven1 and    
came to the land of ,judah1 to          
,gedaliah1          to ,mizpah1 and     
gathered wine and summer fruits very    
much4  #jdj3jac ,moreover ,johanan the  
son of ,kareah1 and all the captains of 
the forces who were in the fields1 came 
to ,gedaliah to ,mizpah1  #jdj3jad and  
said to him1 ,do you know that ,baalis  
the king of the children          of    
,ammon has sent ,ishmael the son of     
,nethaniah to take your life8           
,but ,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam didn't
 believe them4  #jdj3jae ,then ,johanan 

the son of ,kareah spoke to ,gedaliah in
          ,mizpah secretly1 saying1     
,please let me go1 and ,i will kill     
,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah1 and no  
man shall know it3          why should  
he take your life1 that all the ,jews   
who are gathered          to you should 
be scattered1 and the remnant of ,judah 
perish8  #jdj3jaf ,but ,gedaliah the son
 of ,ahikam said to ,johanan the son    
of ,kareah1 ,you shall not do this      
thing2 for you speak          falsely of
 ,ishmael4  #jda3jja ,now it happened in
 the seventh month1 that ,ishmael the   
son          of ,nethaniah1 the son of  
,elishama1 of the seed royal and one    
of the chief officers of the king1 and  
ten men with him1          came to      
,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam to ,mizpah2
 and there they          ate bread      
together in ,mizpah4  #jda3jjb ,then    
arose ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah1   
and the ten men who          were with  
him1 and struck ,gedaliah the son of    
,ahikam the son          of ,shaphan    

with the sword1 and killed him1 whom the
 king          of ,babylon had made     
governor over the land4  #jda3jjc       
,ishmael also killed all the ,jews who  
were with him1 to wit1          with    
,gedaliah1 at ,mizpah1 and the          
,chaldeans who were found there1        
the men of war4  #jda3jjd ,it happened  
the second day after he had killed      
,gedaliah1          and no man knew it1 
#jda3jje that there came men from       
,shechem1 from ,shiloh1 and from        
,samaria1          even eighty men1     
having their beards shaved and their    
clothes torn1          and having cut   
themselves1 with meal offerings and     
frankincense          in their hand1 to 
bring them to the house of ,yahweh4     
#jda3jjf ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah 
went forth from ,mizpah to meet them1   
weeping all along as he went3  and it   
happened1 as he met them1          he   
said to them1 ,come to ,gedaliah the son
 of ,ahikam4  #jda3jjg ,it was so1 when 
they came into the midst of the city1   

that ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah     
killed them1 and cast them          into
 the midst of the pit1 he1 and the men  
who were with him4  #jda3jjh ,but ten   
men were found among those who said to  
,ishmael1 ,don't kill us2          for  
we have stores hidden in the field1 of  
wheat1 and of barley1          and of   
oil1 and of honey4  ,so he stopped1 and 
didn't kill          them among their   
brothers4  #jda3jji ,now the pit in     
which ,ishmael cast all the dead bodies 
of the men whom he had killed1 by the   
side of ,gedaliah          7the same was
 who which ,asa the king had made for   
fear of          ,baasha king of        
,israel71 ,ishmael the son of ,nethaniah
 filled          it with those who were 
killed4  #jda3jaj ,then ,ishmael carried
 away captive all the residue of        
the people who were in ,mizpah1 even the
 king's daughters1          and all the 
people who remained in ,mizpah1 whom    
,nebuzaradan          the captain of the
 guard had committed to ,gedaliah the   

son          of ,ahikam2 ,ishmael the   
son of ,nethaniah carried them away     
captive1          and departed to go    
over to the children of ,ammon4         
#jda3jaa ,but when ,johanan the son of  
,kareah1 and all the captains           
of the forces who were with him1 heard  
of all the evil          that ,ishmael  
the son of ,nethaniah had done1         
#jda3jab then they took all the men1 and
 went to fight with ,ishmael            
the son of ,nethaniah1 and found him by 
the great waters          that are in   
,gibeon4  #jda3jac ,now it happened     
that1 when all the people who were with 
,ishmael          saw ,johanan the son  
of ,kareah1 and all the captains of the 
forces          who were with him1 then 
they were glad4  #jda3jad ,so all the   
people who ,ishmael had carried away    
captive          from ,mizpah turned    
about and came back1 and went to        
,johanan          the son of ,kareah4   
#jda3jae ,but ,ishmael the son of       
,nethaniah escaped from ,johanan with   

eight men1 and went to the children of  
,ammon4  #jda3jaf ,then took ,johanan   
the son of ,kareah1 and all the captains
          of the forces who were with   
him1 all the remnant of the people      
whom he had recovered from ,ishmael the 
son of ,nethaniah1          from        
,mizpah1 after that he had killed       
,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam1           
to wit1 the men of war1 and the women1  
and the children1          and the      
eunuchs1 whom he had brought back from  
,gibeon3  #jda3jag and they departed1   
and lived in ,geruth ,chimham1 which is 
by ,bethlehem1 to go to enter into      
,egypt1  #jda3jah because of the        
,chaldeans2 for they were afraid of     
them1          because ,ishmael the son 
of ,nethaniah had killed ,gedaliah      
the son of ,ahikam1 whom the king of    
,babylon made governor          over the
 land4  #jdb3jja ,then all the captains 
of the forces1 and ,johanan the son of  
,kareah1          and ,jezaniah the son 
of ,hoshaiah1 and all the people from   

the least even to the greatest1 came    
near1  #jdb3jjb and said to ,jeremiah   
the prophet1 ,let1 we pray you1 our     
supplication          be presented      
before you1 and pray for us to ,yahweh  
your ,god1          even for all this   
remnant2 for we are left but a few of   
many1          as your eyes do see us3  
#jdb3jjc that ,yahweh your ,god may show
 us the way in which we should walk1    
and the thing that we should do4        
#jdb3jjd ,then ,jeremiah the prophet    
said to them1 ,i have heard you2        
behold1 ,i will pray to ,yahweh your    
,god according to your words2           
and it shall happen that whatever thing 
,yahweh shall answer you1          ,i   
will declare it to you2 ,i will keep    
nothing back from you4  #jdb3jje ,then  
they said to ,jeremiah1 ,yahweh be a    
true and faithful          witness among
 us1 if we don't do according to all the
 word          with which ,yahweh your  
,god shall send you to us4  #jdb3jjf    
,whether it be good1 or whether it be   

evil1 we will obey the voice          of
 ,yahweh our ,god1 to whom we send you2 
that it may be well          with us1   
when we obey the voice of ,yahweh our   
,god4  #jdb3jjg ,it happened after ten  
days1 that the word of ,yahweh          
came to ,jeremiah4  #jdb3jjh ,then      
called he ,johanan the son of ,kareah1  
and all the captains          of the    
forces who were with him1 and all the   
people from          the least even to  
the greatest1  #jdb3jji and said to     
them1 ,thus says ,yahweh1 the ,god of   
,israel1          to whom you sent me to
 present your supplication before him3  
#jdb3jaj ,if you will still abide in    
this land1 then will ,i build you1      
and not pull you down1 and ,i will plant
 you1 and not pluck you up2          for
 ,i grieve over the distress that ,i    
have brought on you4  #jdb3jaa ,don't be
 afraid of the king of ,babylon1 of whom
 you are afraid2          don't be      
afraid of him1 says ,yahweh3  for ,i am 
with you          to save you1 and to   

deliver you from his hand4  #jdb3jab ,i 
will grant you mercy1 that he may have  
mercy on you1          and cause you to 
return to your own land4  #jdb3jac ,but 
if you say1 ,we will not dwell in this  
land2 so that you          don't obey   
the voice of ,yahweh your ,god1         
#jdb3jad saying1 ,no2 but we will go    
into the land of ,egypt1 where we       
shall see no war1 nor hear the sound of 
the trumpet1          nor have hunger of
 bread2 and there will we dwell3        
#jdb3jae now therefore hear you the word
 of ,yahweh1 ,o remnant          of     
,judah3  ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 
the ,god of ,israel1 ,if you            
indeed set your faces to enter into     
,egypt1 and go to sojourn there2        
#jdb3jaf then it shall happen1 that the 
sword1 which you fear1          shall   
overtake you there in the land of       
,egypt2 and the famine1          about  
which you are afraid1 shall follow hard 
after you there          in ,egypt2 and 
there you shall die4  #jdb3jag ,so shall

 it be with all the men who set their   
faces to go          into ,egypt to     
sojourn there3  they shall die by the   
sword1          by the famine1 and by   
the pestilence2 and none of them shall  
remain or escape from the evil that ,i  
will bring on them4  #jdb3jah ,for thus 
says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the ,god of    
,israel3  ,as my          anger and my  
wrath has been poured forth on the      
inhabitants          of ,jerusalem1 so  
shall my wrath be poured forth on you1  
when you shall enter into ,egypt2 and   
you shall be an object          of      
horror1 and an astonishment1 and a      
curse1 and a reproach2          and you 
shall see this place no more4  #jdb3jai 
,yahweh has spoken concerning you1      
remnant of ,judah1 ,don't you           
go into ,egypt3  know certainly that ,i 
have testified to          you this day4
  #jdb3jbj ,for you have dealt          
deceitfully against your own souls2     
for you sent me to ,yahweh your ,god1   
saying1 ,pray for us to ,yahweh         

our ,god2 and according to all that     
,yahweh our ,god shall say1          so 
declare to us1 and we will do it3       
#jdb3jba and ,i have this day declared  
it to you2 but you have not obeyed      
the voice of ,yahweh your ,god in       
anything for which he has          sent 
me to you4  #jdb3jbb ,now therefore know
 certainly that you shall die by the    
sword1          by the famine1 and by   
the pestilence1 in the place where you  
desire to go to sojourn there4  #jdc3jja
 ,it happened that1 when ,jeremiah had  
made an end of speaking          to all 
the people all the words of ,yahweh     
their ,god1 with which          ,yahweh 
their ,god had sent him to them1 even   
all these words1  #jdc3jjb then spoke   
,azariah the son of ,hoshaiah1 and      
,johanan the son of ,kareah1            
and all the proud men1 saying to        
,jeremiah1 ,you speak falsely3          
,yahweh our ,god has not sent you to    
say1 ,you shall not go          into    
,egypt to sojourn there2  #jdc3jjc but  

,baruch the son of ,neriah sets you on  
against us1 to deliver us          into 
the hand of the ,chaldeans1 that they   
may put us to death1          and carry 
us away captive to ,babylon4  #jdc3jjd  
,so ,johanan the son of ,kareah1 and all
 the captains of the forces1            
and all the people1 didn't obey the     
voice of ,yahweh1          to dwell in  
the land of ,judah4  #jdc3jje ,but      
,johanan the son of ,kareah1 and all the
 captains of the forces1          took  
all the remnant of ,judah1 who were     
returned from          all the nations  
where they had been driven1 to sojourn  
in the land of ,judah2  #jdc3jjf the    
men1 and the women1 and the children1   
and the king's daughters1          and  
every person who ,nebuzaradan the       
captain of the guard          had left  
with ,gedaliah the son of ,ahikam1 the  
son of ,shaphan2          and ,jeremiah 
the prophet1 and ,baruch the son of     
,neriah2  #jdc3jjg and they came into   
the land of ,egypt2 for they didn't obey

          the voice of ,yahweh3  and    
they came to ,tahpanhes4  #jdc3jjh ,then
 came the word of ,yahweh to ,jeremiah  
in ,tahpanhes1 saying1  #jdc3jji ,take  
great stones in your hand1 and hide them
 in mortar          in the brick work1  
which is at the entry of ,pharaoh's     
house          in ,tahpanhes1 in the    
sight of the men of ,judah2  #jdc3jaj   
and tell them1 ,thus says ,yahweh of    
,armies1 the ,god          of ,israel3  
,behold1 ,i will send and take          
,nebuchadnezzar          the king of    
,babylon1 my servant1 and will set his  
throne          on these stones that ,i 
have hidden2 and he shall spread his    
royal pavilion over them4  #jdc3jaa ,he 
shall come1 and shall strike the land of
 ,egypt2          such as are for death 
shall be given to death1 and such as    
are for captivity to captivity1 and such
 as are for the sword          to the   
sword4  #jdc3jab ,i will kindle a fire  
in the houses of the gods of ,egypt2    
and he shall burn them1 and carry them  

away captive3          and he shall     
array himself with the land of ,egypt1  
as a shepherd puts on his garment2 and  
he shall go forth          from there in
 peace4  #jdc3jac ,he shall also break  
the pillars of ,beth ,shemesh1 that is  
in          the land of ,egypt2 and the 
houses of the gods of ,egypt shall      
he burn with fire4  #jdd3jja ,the word  
that came to ,jeremiah concerning all   
the ,jews who lived          in the land
 of ,egypt1 who lived at ,migdol1 and at
 ,tahpanhes1          and at ,memphis1  
and in the country of ,pathros1 saying1 
#jdd3jjb ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 
the ,god of ,israel3  ,you have seen    
all the evil that ,i have brought on    
,jerusalem1 and on all          the     
cities of ,judah2 and behold1 this day  
they are a desolation1          and no  
man dwells therein1  #jdd3jjc because of
 their wickedness which they have       
committed          to provoke me to     
anger1 in that they went to burn        
incense1          and to serve other    

gods1 that they didn't know1 neither    
they1          nor you1 nor your        
fathers4  #jdd3jjd ,however ,i sent to  
you all my servants the prophets1 rising
 up          early and sending them1    
saying1 ,oh1 don't do this abominable   
thing that ,i hate4  #jdd3jje ,but they 
didn't listen1 nor inclined their ear to
 turn from          their wickedness1 to
 burn no incense to other gods4         
#jdd3jjf ,therefore my wrath and my     
anger was poured forth1 and was         
kindled in the cities of ,judah and in  
the streets of ,jerusalem2          and 
they are wasted and desolate1 as it is  
this day4  #jdd3jjg ,therefore now thus 
says ,yahweh1 the ,god of ,armies1 the  
,god          of ,israel3  ,why commit  
you this great evil against your own    
souls1          to cut off from you man 
and woman1 infant and suckling1         
out of the midst of ,judah1 to leave you
 none remaining2  #jdd3jjh in that you  
provoke me to anger with the works of   
your hands1          burning incense to 

other gods in the land of ,egypt1       
where you are gone to sojourn2 that you 
may be cut off1          and that you   
may be a curse and a reproach among all 
the nations          of the earth8      
#jdd3jji ,have you forgotten the        
wickedness of your fathers1          and
 the wickedness of the kings of ,judah1 
and the wickedness          of their    
wives1 and your own wickedness1 and the 
wickedness          of your wives which 
they committed in the land of ,judah1   
and in the streets of ,jerusalem8       
#jdd3jaj ,they are not humbled even to  
this day1 neither have they feared1     
nor walked in my law1 nor in my         
statutes1 that ,i set before            
you and before your fathers4  #jdd3jaa  
,therefore thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1
 the ,god          of ,israel3  ,behold1
 ,i will set my face against you for    
evil1          even to cut off all      
,judah4  #jdd3jab ,i will take the      
remnant of ,judah1 that have set their  
faces          to go into the land of   

,egypt to sojourn there1 and they       
shall all be consumed2 in the land of   
,egypt shall they fall2          they   
shall be consumed by the sword and by   
the famine2          they shall die1    
from the least even to the greatest1 by 
the sword          and by the famine2   
and they shall be an object of horror1  
and an astonishment1 and a curse1 and a 
reproach4  #jdd3jac ,for ,i will punish 
those who dwell in the land of ,egypt1  
as ,i have punished ,jerusalem1 by the  
sword1 by the famine1          and by   
the pestilence2  #jdd3jad so that none  
of the remnant of ,judah1 who have gone 
into          the land of ,egypt to     
sojourn there1 shall escape or be left1 
to return into the land of ,judah1 to   
which they have a desire          to    
return to dwell there3  for none shall  
return save such          as shall      
escape4  #jdd3jae ,then all the men who 
knew that their wives burned incense to 
other gods1 and all the women who stood 
by1 a great assembly1          even all 

the people who lived in the land of     
,egypt1 in ,pathros1          answered  
,jeremiah1 saying1  #jdd3jaf ,as for the
 word that you have spoken to us in the 
name of ,yahweh1          we will not   
listen to you4  #jdd3jag ,but we will   
certainly perform every word that is    
gone forth          out of our mouth1 to
 burn incense to the queen of the sky1  
and to pour out drink offerings to her1 
as we have done1          we and our    
fathers1 our kings and our princes1 in  
the cities          of ,judah1 and in   
the streets of ,jerusalem2 for then had 
we          plenty of food1 and were    
well1 and saw no evil4  #jdd3jah ,but   
since we left off burning incense to the
 queen of the sky1          and pouring 
out drink offerings to her1 we have     
wanted all things1          and have    
been consumed by the sword and by the   
famine4  #jdd3jai ,when we burned       
incense to the queen of the sky1 and    
poured out          drink offerings to  
her1 did we make her cakes to worship   

her1          and pour out drink        
offerings to her1 without our husbands8 
#jdd3jbj ,then ,jeremiah said to all the
 people1 to the men1 and to the women1  
even to all the people who had given him
 an answer1 saying1  #jdd3jba ,the      
incense that you burned in the cities of
 ,judah1          and in the streets of 
,jerusalem1 you and your fathers1       
your kings and your princes1 and the    
people of the land1          didn't     
,yahweh remember them1 and didn't it    
come into his mind8  #jdd3jbb so that   
,yahweh could no longer bear1 because of
 the evil          of your doings1 and  
because of the abominations which you   
have committed2 therefore is your land  
become a desolation1          and an    
astonishment1 and a curse1 without      
inhabitant1          as it is this day4 
#jdd3jbc ,because you have burned       
incense1 and because you have sinned    
against ,yahweh1 and have not obeyed the
 voice of ,yahweh1          nor walked  
in his law1 nor in his statutes1 nor in 

his testimonies2          therefore this
 evil is happened to you1 as it is this 
day4  #jdd3jbd ,moreover ,jeremiah said 
to all the people1 and to all the women1
          ,hear the word of ,yahweh1 all
 ,judah who are in the land of ,egypt3  
#jdd3jbe ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 
the ,god of ,israel1 saying1 ,you and   
your wives have both spoken with your   
mouths1 and with your          hands    
have fulfilled it1 saying1 ,we will     
surely perform          our vows that we
 have vowed1 to burn incense to the     
queen          of the sky1 and to pour  
out drink offerings to her3             
establish then your vows1 and perform   
your vows4  #jdd3jbf ,therefore hear the
 word of ,yahweh1 all ,judah who dwell  
in          the land of ,egypt3         
,behold1 ,i have sworn by my great name1
          says ,yahweh1 that my name    
shall no more be named in the mouth     
of any man of ,judah in all the land of 
,egypt1 saying1 ,as the          ,lord  
,yahweh lives4  #jdd3jbg ,behold1 ,i    

watch over them for evil1 and not for   
good2          and all the men of ,judah
 who are in the land of ,egypt shall    
be consumed by the sword and by the     
famine1 until there          be an end  
of them4  #jdd3jbh ,those who escape the
 sword shall return out of the land of  
,egypt          into the land of ,judah1
 few in number2 and all the remnant     
of ,judah1 who have gone into the land  
of ,egypt to sojourn there1             
shall know whose word shall stand1 mine1
 or theirs4  #jdd3jbi ,this shall be the
 sign to you1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will
 punish          you in this place1 that
 you may know that my words shall       
surely stand against you for evil3      
#jdd3jcj ,thus says ,yahweh1 ,behold1 ,i
 will give ,pharaoh ,hophra king        
of ,egypt into the hand of his enemies1 
and into the hand of          those who

 of ,judah into          the hand of

,yahweh of ,armies1 a day          of   
vengeance1 that he may avenge him of his
 adversaries3          and the sword

their visitation4  #jdf3jbb ,the sound  
of it shall go like the serpent2 for    
they shall march          with an army1 
and come against her with axes1 as wood 
cutters4  #jdf3jbc ,they shall cut down 
her forest1 says ,yahweh1 though it     
can't be searched2 because they are more

 than the locusts1          and are     
innumerable4  #jdf3jbd ,the daughter of 
,egypt shall be disappointed2 she shall 
be          delivered into the hand of

#jdg3jja ,the word of ,yahweh that came

therein2 and the men shall cry1 and all

the stamping of the hoofs of his strong 
ones1          at the rushing of his    
chariots1 at the rumbling of his wheels1
          the fathers don't look back to
 their children for          feebleness 

of hands2  #jdg3jjd because of the day

,philistines1          to cut off from  
,tyre and ,sidon every helper who       
remains3          for ,yahweh will

charge8          ,against ,ashkelon1 and
 against the seashore1 there has        
he appointed it4  #jdh3jja ,of ,moab4

evil against her3  ,come1 and let us cut
 her off from being          a nation4  
,you also1 ,madmen1 shall be brought to

destruction6  #jdh3jjd ,moab is         
destroyed2 her little ones have caused a
 cry to be heard4  #jdh3jje ,for by the

 distress          of the cry of        
destruction4  #jdh3jjf ,flee1 save your 
lives1 and be like the heath in the     
wilderness4  #jdh3jjg ,for1 because you

taken3  and ,chemosh shall go forth into

has spoken4  #jdh3jji ,give wings to    
,moab1 that she may fly and get her     
away3          and her cities shall     
become a desolation1 without any        
to dwell therein4  #jdh3jaj ,cursed be  
he who does the work of ,yahweh         
negligently2          and cursed be he  
who keeps back his sword from blood4    
#jdh3jaa ,moab has been at ease from his
 youth1 and he has settled          on  
his lees1 and has not been emptied from 
vessel to vessel1          neither has  
he gone into captivity3  therefore his  
taste          remains in him1 and his  
scent is not changed4  #jdh3jab         
,therefore1 behold1 the days come1 says 
,yahweh1 that ,i will send          to  
him those who pour off1 and they shall  
pour him off2 and they          shall   
empty his vessels1 and break their      
bottles in pieces4  #jdh3jac ,moab shall
 be ashamed of ,chemosh1 as the house of

 their confidence4  #jdh3jad ,how say   

you1 ,we are mighty men1 and valiant men
 for the war8  #jdh3jae ,moab is laid   
waste1 and they are gone up into his

 cities of the land          of ,moab1  
far or near4  #jdh3jbe ,the horn of     
,moab is cut off1 and his arm is broken1
 says ,yahweh4  #jdh3jbf ,make you him  
drunken2 for he magnified himself       
against ,yahweh3          and ,moab     
shall wallow in his vomit1 and he also  
shall          be in derision4  #jdh3jbg
 ,for wasn't ,israel a derision to you8 
was he found among thieves8          for
 as often as you speak of him1 you wag  
the head4  #jdh3jbh ,you inhabitants of 
,moab1 leave the cities1 and dwell in   
the rock2          and be like the dove 
that makes her nest over the mouth      
of the abyss4  #jdh3jbi ,we have heard  
of the pride of ,moab1 that he is very  

proud2          his loftiness1 and his  
pride1 and his arrogance1 and the       
haughtiness of his heart4  #jdh3jcj ,i  
know his wrath1 says ,yahweh1 that it is
 nothing2 his boastings          have   
worked nothing4  #jdh3jca ,therefore    
will ,i wail for ,moab2 yes1 ,i will cry
 out for all ,moab3          for the men
 of ,kir ,heres shall they mourn4       
#jdh3jcb ,with more than the weeping of 
,jazer will ,i weep for you1            
vine of ,sibmah3  your branches passed  
over the sea1          they reached even
 to the sea of ,jazer3  on your summer  
fruits          and on your vintage the 
destroyer is fallen4  #jdh3jcc ,gladness
 and joy is taken away from the fruitful
 field          and from the land of    
,moab2 and ,i have caused wine to cease 
from the wine presses3  none shall tread
 with shouting2          the shouting   
shall be no shouting4  #jdh3jcd ,from   
the cry of ,heshbon even to ,elealeh1   
even to ,jahaz          have they       
uttered their voice1 from ,zoar even to 

,horonaim1          to ,eglath          
,shelishiyah3  for the waters of ,nimrim
 also          shall become desolate4   
#jdh3jce ,moreover ,i will cause to     
cease in ,moab1 says ,yahweh1           
him who offers in the high place1 and   
him who burns incense          to his   
gods4  #jdh3jcf ,therefore my heart     
sounds for ,moab like pipes1 and my     
heart sounds like pipes for the men of  
,kir ,heres3          therefore the     
abundance that he has gotten is         
perished4  #jdh3jcg ,for every head is  
bald1 and every beard clipped3          
on all the hands are cuttings1 and on   
the waist sackcloth4  #jdh3jch ,on all  
the housetops of ,moab and in the       
streets of it there is                  
lamentation every where2 for ,i have    
broken ,moab like a vessel          in  
which none delights1 says ,yahweh4      
#jdh3jci ,how is it broken down6 how do 
they wail6 how has ,moab          turned
 the back with shame6 so shall ,moab    
become a derision          and a terror 

to all who are round about him4         
#jdh3jdj ,for thus says ,yahweh3        
,behold1 he shall fly as an eagle1      
and shall spread out his wings against  
,moab4  #jdh3jda ,kerioth is taken1 and 
the strongholds are seized1 and the     
heart          of the mighty men of     
,moab at that day shall be as the heart 
of a woman in her pangs4  #jdh3jdb ,moab
 shall be destroyed from being a people1
 because he has          magnified      
himself against ,yahweh4  #jdh3jdc      
,fear1 and the pit1 and the snare1 are  
on you1 inhabitant          of ,moab1   
says ,yahweh4  #jdh3jdd ,he who flees   
from the fear shall fall into the pit2  
and he who gets up out of the pit shall 
be taken in the snare3          for ,i  
will bring on him1 even on ,moab1 the   
year of          their visitation1 says 
,yahweh4  #jdh3jde ,those who fled stand
 without strength under the shadow of   
,heshbon2          for a fire is gone   
forth out of ,heshbon1 and a flame from 
the midst of ,sihon1 and has devoured   

the corner of ,moab1          and the   
crown of the head of the tumultuous     
ones4  #jdh3jdf ,woe to you1 ,o ,moab6  
the people of ,chemosh is undone2 for   
your sons          are taken away       
captive1 and your daughters into        
captivity4  #jdh3jdg ,yet will ,i bring 
back the captivity of ,moab in the      
latter days1          says ,yahweh4     
,thus far is the judgment of ,moab4     
#jdi3jja ,of the children of ,ammon4    
,thus says ,yahweh3  ,has ,israel       
no sons8 has he no heir8 why then does  
,malcam possess ,gad1          and his  
people well in the cities of it8        
#jdi3jjb ,therefore1 behold1 the days   
come1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will cause  
an alarm of war to be heard against     
,rabbah of the children of ,ammon2      
and it shall become a desolate heap1 and
 her daughters shall          be burned 
with fire3  then shall ,israel possess  
those who did          possess him1 says
 ,yahweh4  #jdi3jjc ,wail1 ,heshbon1 for
 ,ai is laid waste2 cry1 you daughters  

of ,rabbah1          gird you with      
sackcloth3  lament1 and run back and    
forth          among the fences2 for    
,malcam shall go into captivity1        
his priests and his princes together4   
#jdi3jjd ,why glory you in the valleys1 
your flowing valley1 backsliding        
daughter8 who trusted in her treasures1 
saying1 ,who shall          come to me8 
#jdi3jje ,behold1 ,i will bring a fear  
on you1 says the ,lord1 ,yahweh of      
,armies1          from all who are round
 about you2 and you shall be driven     
out every man right forth1 and there    
shall be none to gather                 
together the fugitives4  #jdi3jjf ,but  
afterward ,i will bring back the        
captivity of the children          of   
,ammon1 says ,yahweh4  #jdi3jjg ,of     
,edom4  ,thus says ,yahweh of ,armies3  
,is wisdom no more in ,teman8           
is counsel perished from the prudent8 is
 their wisdom vanished8  #jdi3jjh ,flee 
you1 turn back1 dwell in the depths1    
inhabitants of ,dedan2          for ,i  

will bring the calamity of ,esau on him1
 the time that ,i          shall visit  
him4  #jdi3jji ,if grape gatherers came 
to you1 would they not leave some       
gleaning grapes8 if thieves by night1   
wouldn't they destroy          until    
they had enough8  #jdi3jaj ,but ,i have 
made ,esau bare1 ,i have uncovered his  
secret places1          and he shall not
 be able to hide himself3  his seed is  
destroyed1          and his brothers1   
and his neighbors2 and he is no more4   
#jdi3jaa ,leave your fatherless         
children1 ,i will preserve them alive2  
and let your widows trust in me4        
#jdi3jab ,for thus says ,yahweh3        
,behold1 they to whom it didn't pertain 
to drink of the cup shall certainly     
drink2 and are you he who          shall
 altogether go unpunished8 you shall not
 go unpunished1          but you shall  
surely drink4  #jdi3jac ,for ,i have    
sworn by myself1 says ,yahweh1 that     
,bozrah shall          become an        
astonishment1 a reproach1 a waste1 and a

 curse2          and all the cities of  
it shall be perpetual wastes4  #jdi3jad 
,i have heard news from ,yahweh1 and an

nations1 saying1 ,gather yourselves     
together1          and come against her1
 and rise up to the battle4  #jdi3jae   
,for1 behold1 ,i have made you small    
among the nations1          and despised
 among men4  #jdi3jaf ,as for your      
terror1 the pride of your heart has     
deceived you1          ,o you who dwell 
in the clefts of the rock1 who hold the 
height          of the hill3  though you
 should make your nest as high          
as the eagle1 ,i will bring you down    
from there1 says ,yahweh4  #jdi3jag     
,edom shall become an astonishment3     
everyone who passes by it          shall
 be astonished1 and shall hiss at all   
the plagues of it4  #jdi3jah ,as in the 
overthrow of ,sodom and ,gomorrah and   
the neighbor          cities of it1 says
 ,yahweh1 no man shall dwell there1     
neither shall any son of man sojourn    

therein4  #jdi3jai ,behold1 he shall    
come up like a lion from the pride of   
the ,jordan          against the strong 
habitation3  for ,i will suddenly make  
them run          away from it2 and     
whoever is chosen1 him will ,i appoint  
over it3          for who is like me8   
and who will appoint me a time8 and who 
is          the shepherd who will stand 
before me8  #jdi3jbj ,therefore hear the
 counsel of ,yahweh1 that he has taken  
against ,edom2 and his purposes1 that he
 has purposed against          the      
inhabitants of ,teman3  ,surely they    
shall drag them away1          even the 
little ones of the flock2 surely he     
shall make          their habitation    
desolate over them4  #jdi3jba ,the earth
 trembles at the noise of their fall2   
there is a cry1          the noise which
 is heard in the ,red ,seaor1 ,sea of   
,reeds4  #jdi3jbb ,behold1 he shall come
 up and fly as the eagle1 and spread    
out his wings against ,bozrah3  and the 
heart of the mighty          men of     

,edom at that day shall be as the heart 
of a woman          in her pangs4       
#jdi3jbc ,of ,damascus4  ,hamath is     
confounded1 and ,arpad2 for they have

sea2          it can't be quiet4        
#jdi3jbd ,damascus has grown feeble1 she
 turns herself to flee1          and    
trembling has seized on her3  anguish

her1 as of a woman in travail4  #jdi3jbe
 ,how is the city of praise not         
forsaken1 the city of my joy8  #jdi3jbf 
,therefore her young men shall fall in  
her streets1 and all          the men of

 day1          says ,yahweh of ,armies4 
#jdi3jbg ,i will kindle a fire in the   
wall of ,damascus1 and it shall         
devour the palaces of ,ben ,hadad4      
#jdi3jbh ,of ,kedar1 and of the kingdoms
 of ,hazor1 which ,nebuchadnezzar

,flee you1 wander far off1 dwell in the

,hazor1 says ,yahweh2 for               
,nebuchadnezzar king of ,babylon has    
taken          counsel against you1 and 
has conceived a purpose against you4    
#jdi3jca ,arise1 go up to a nation that

 care1 says ,yahweh2 that have neither  
gates nor bars1          that dwell     
alone4  #jdi3jcb ,their camels shall be 
a booty1 and the multitude of their     
livestock a spoil3  and ,i will scatter 
to all winds those who          have the
 corners of their hair cut off2 and ,i  
will bring          their calamity from 
every side of them1 says ,yahweh4       
#jdi3jcc ,hazor shall be a dwelling     

place of jackals1 a desolation forever3 
no man shall dwell there1 neither shall 
any son of          man sojourn therein4
  #jdi3jcd ,the word of ,yahweh that    
came to ,jeremiah the prophet concerning

dismayed before their enemies1

 even my fierce anger1 says ,yahweh2 and
 ,i will send          the sword after  
them1 until ,i have consumed them2

,elam1 and will destroy from there      

king and princes1 says ,yahweh4         
#jdi3jci ,but it shall happen in the    
latter days1 that ,i will bring back    
the captivity of ,elam1 says ,yahweh4

destroying wind4  #jea3jjb ,i will send 
to ,babylon strangers1 who shall winnow 
her2          and they shall empty her  
land3  for in the day of trouble

to her a recompense4  #jea3jjg ,babylon 
has been a golden cup in ,yahweh's hand1

 ,god4  #jea3jaa ,make sharp the arrows2
 hold firm the shields3          ,yahweh
 has stirred up the spirit of the kings 
of the ,medes2          because his     
purpose is against ,babylon1 to destroy 
it3          for it is the vengeance of

with you will ,i break in pieces the    
shepherd and his flock2          and    
with you will ,i break in pieces the    
farmer and his          yoke of oxen2   
and with you will ,i break in pieces    
governors and deputies4  #jea3jbd ,i    

will render to ,babylon and to all the  
inhabitants of ,chaldea          all    
their evil that they have done in ,zion 
in your sight1          says ,yahweh4   
#jea3jbe ,behold1 ,i am against you1    
destroying mountain1 says ,yahweh1      
which destroys all the earth2 and ,i    
will stretch out my hand          on    
you1 and roll you down from the rocks1  
and will make you          a burnt      
mountain4  #jea3jbf ,they shall not take
 of you a stone for a corner1 nor a     
stone          for foundations2 but you 
shall be desolate for ever1 says        
,yahweh4  #jea3jbg ,set up a standard in
 the land1 blow the trumpet among       
the nations1 prepare the nations against
 her1 call together          against her
 the kingdoms of ,ararat1 ,minni1 and   
,ashkenaz3          appoint a marshal   
against her2 cause the horses to come up
          as the rough canker worm4     
#jea3jbh ,prepare against her the       
nations1 the kings of the ,medes1       
the governors of it1 and all the        

deputies of it1 and all          the    
land of their dominion4  #jea3jbi ,the  
land trembles and is in pain2 for the   
purposes of ,yahweh          against    
,babylon do stand1 to make the land of  
,babylon          a desolation1 without 
inhabitant4  #jea3jcj ,the mighty men of
 ,babylon have forborne to fight1       
they remain in their strongholds2 their 
might has failed2          they are     
become as women3  her dwelling places   
are set on fire2          her bars are  
broken4  #jea3jca ,one runner will run  
to meet another1 and one messenger      
to meet another1 to show the king of    
,babylon that his city          is taken
 on every quarter3  #jea3jcb and the    
passages are seized1 and the reeds they 
have burned          with fire1 and the 
men of war are frightened4  #jea3jcc    
,for thus says ,yahweh of ,armies1 the  
,god of ,israel3  ,the daughter         
of ,babylon is like a threshing floor at
 the time when it          is trodden2  
yet a little while1 and the time of     

harvest shall          come for her4    
#jea3jcd ,nebuchadnezzar the king of    
,babylon has devoured me1 he has        
crushed me1 he has made me an empty     
vessel1 he has1 like a monster1         
swallowed me up1 he has filled his maw  
with my delicacies2          he has cast
 me out4  #jea3jce ,the violence done to
 me and to my flesh be on ,babylon1     
shall the inhabitant of ,zion say2 and1 
,my blood be on          the inhabitants
 of ,chaldea1 shall ,jerusalem say4     
#jea3jcf ,therefore thus says ,yahweh3  
,behold1 ,i will plead your cause1      
and take vengeance for you2 and ,i will 
dry up her sea1          and make her   
fountain dry4  #jea3jcg ,babylon shall  
become heaps1 a dwelling place for      
jackals1          an astonishment1 and a
 hissing1 without inhabitant4  #jea3jch 
,they shall roar together like young    
lions2 they shall growl          as     
lions' cubs4  #jea3jci ,when they are   
heated1 ,i will make their feast1 and ,i
 will make          them drunken1 that  

they may rejoice1 and sleep a perpetual 
sleep1          and not wake1 says      
,yahweh4  #jea3jdj ,i will bring them   
down like lambs to the slaughter1 like  
rams          with male goats4  #jea3jda
 ,how is ,sheshach taken6 and the praise
 of the whole earth seized6          how
 is ,babylon become a desolation among  
the nations6  #jea3jdb ,the sea is come 
up on ,babylon2 she is covered with the 
multitude          of the waves of it4  
#jea3jdc ,her cities are become a       
desolation1 a dry land1 and a desert1   
a land in which no man dwells1 neither  
does any son of          man pass       
thereby4  #jea3jdd ,i will execute      
judgment on ,bel in ,babylon1 and ,i    
will bring          forth out of his    
mouth that which he has swallowed up2   
and the nations shall not flow any more 
to him3  yes1 the wall          of      
,babylon shall fall4  #jea3jde ,my      
people1 go you out of the midst of her1 
and save yourselves          every man  
from the fierce anger of ,yahweh4       

#jea3jdf ,don't let your heart faint1   
neither fear for the news that          
shall be heard in the land2 for news    
shall come one year1          and after 
that in another year shall come news1   
and violence          in the land1 ruler
 against ruler4  #jea3jdg ,therefore1   
behold1 the days come1 that ,i will     
execute judgment          on the        
engraved images of ,babylon2 and her    
whole land shall          be confounded2
 and all her slain shall fall in the    
midst of her4  #jea3jdh ,then the       
heavens and the earth1 and all that is  
therein1          shall sing for joy    
over ,babylon2 for the destroyers shall 
come to her from the north1 says        
,yahweh4  #jea3jdi ,as ,babylon has     
caused the slain of ,israel to fall1 so 
at ,babylon          shall fall the     
slain of all the land4  #jea3jej ,you   
who have escaped the sword1 go you1     
don't stand still2          remember    
,yahweh from afar1 and let ,jerusalem   
come into your mind4  #jea3jea ,we are  

confounded1 because we have heard       
reproach2 confusion has          covered
 our faces3  for strangers are come into
 the sanctuaries          of ,yahweh's  
house4  #jea3jeb ,therefore1 behold1 the
 days come1 says ,yahweh1 that ,i will  
execute judgment on her engraved images2
 and through all her          land the  
wounded shall groan4  #jea3jec ,though  
,babylon should mount up to the sky1 and
 though she          should fortify the 
height of her strength1 yet from me     
shall          destroyers come to her1  
says ,yahweh4  #jea3jed ,the sound of a 
cry from ,babylon1 and of great         
destruction          from the land of   
the ,chaldeans6  #jea3jee ,for ,yahweh  
lays ,babylon waste1 and destroys out of
 her          the great voice2 and their
 waves roar like many waters2           
the noise of their voice is uttered3    
#jea3jef for the destroyer is come on   
her1 even on ,babylon1 and her          
mighty men are taken1 their bows are    
broken in pieces2          for ,yahweh  

is a ,god of recompenses1 he will surely
 requite4  #jea3jeg ,i will make drunk  
her princes and her wise men1 her       
governors          and her deputies1 and
 her mighty men2 and they shall sleep   
a perpetual sleep1 and not wake up1 says
 the ,king1 whose name          is      
,yahweh of ,armies4  #jea3jeh ,thus says
 ,yahweh of ,armies3  ,the broad walls  
of ,babylon          shall be utterly   
overthrown1 and her high gates shall be 
burned with fire2 and the peoples shall 
labor for vanity1          and the      
nations for the fire2 and they shall be 
weary4  #jea3jei ,the word which        
,jeremiah the prophet commanded ,seraiah
 the son          of ,neriah1 the son of
 ,mahseiah1 when he went with ,zedekiah 
the king of ,judah to ,babylon in the   
fourth year of his reign4          ,now 
,seraiah was chief quartermaster4       
#jea3jfj ,jeremiah wrote in a book all  
the evil that should come on ,babylon1  
even all these words that are written   
concerning ,babylon4  #jea3jfa ,jeremiah

 said to ,seraiah1 ,when you come to    
,babylon1 then see          that you    
read all these words1  #jea3jfb and say1
 ,yahweh1 you have spoken concerning    
this place1 to cut          it off1 that
 none shall dwell therein1 neither man  
nor animal1          but that it shall  
be desolate forever4  #jea3jfc ,it shall
 be1 when you have made an end of       
reading this book1          that you    
shall bind a stone to it1 and cast it   
into the midst          of the          
,euphrates3  #jea3jfd and you shall say1
 ,thus shall ,babylon sink1 and shall   
not          rise again because of the  
evil that ,i will bring on her2         
and they shall be weary4  ,thus far are 
the words of ,jeremiah4  #jeb3jja       
,zedekiah was twenty-one years old when 
he began to reign2          and he      
reigned eleven years in ,jerusalem3  and
 his mother's          name was ,hamutal
 the daughter of ,jeremiah of ,libnah4  
#jeb3jjb ,he did that which was evil in 
the sight of ,yahweh1 according to      

all that ,jehoiakim had done4  #jeb3jjc 
,for through the anger of ,yahweh did it
 happen in ,jerusalem          and      
,judah1 until he had cast them out from 
his presence4          ,zedekiah        
rebelled against the king of ,babylon4  
#jeb3jjd ,it happened in the ninth year 
of his reign1 in the tenth month1       
in the tenth day of the month1 that     
,nebuchadnezzar king          of        
,babylon came1 he and all his army1     
against ,jerusalem1          and        
encamped against it2 and they built     
forts against          it round about4  
#jeb3jje ,so the city was besieged to   
the eleventh year of king ,zedekiah4    
#jeb3jjf ,in the fourth month1 in the   
ninth day of the month1 the famine      
was sore in the city1 so that there was 
no bread for the people          of the 
land4  #jeb3jjg ,then a breach was made 
in the city1 and all the men of war     
fled1          and went forth out of the
 city by night by the way of the gate   
between the two walls1 which was by the 

king's garden2          7now the        
,chaldeans were against the city round  
about27          and they went toward   
the ,arabah4  #jeb3jjh ,but the army of 
the ,chaldeans pursued after the king1  
and overtook ,zedekiah in the plains of 
,jericho2 and all his          army was 
scattered from him4  #jeb3jji ,then they
 took the king1 and carried him up to   
the king          of ,babylon to ,riblah
 in the land of ,hamath2 and he gave    
judgment on him4  #jeb3jaj ,the king of 
,babylon killed the sons of ,zedekiah   
before his eyes3          he killed also
 all the princes of ,judah in ,riblah4  
#jeb3jaa ,he put out the eyes of        
,zedekiah2 and the king of ,babylon     
bound him in fetters1 and carried him to
 ,babylon1 and put          him in      
prison until the day of his death4      
#jeb3jab ,now in the fifth month1 in the
 tenth day of the month1          which 
was the nineteenth year of king         
,nebuchadnezzar1          king of       
,babylon1 came ,nebuzaradan the captain 

of the guard1          who stood before 
the king of ,babylon1 into ,jerusalem3  
#jeb3jac and he burned the house of     
,yahweh1 and the king's house2          
and all the houses of ,jerusalem1 even  
every great house1          burned he   
with fire4  #jeb3jad ,all the army of   
the ,chaldeans1 who were with the       
captain of          the guard1 broke    
down all the walls of ,jerusalem round  
about4  #jeb3jae ,then ,nebuzaradan the 
captain of the guard carried away       
captive          of the poorest of the  
people1 and the residue of the people   
who were left in the city1 and those who
 fell away1 who fell          to the    
king of ,babylon1 and the residue of the
 multitude4  #jeb3jaf ,but ,nebuzaradan 
the captain of the guard left of the    
poorest          of the land to be      
vineyard keepers and farmers4  #jeb3jag 
,the pillars of brass that were in the  
house of ,yahweh1          and the bases
 and the bronze sea that were in the    
house of ,yahweh1          did the      

,chaldeans break in pieces1 and carried 
all the brass          of them to       
,babylon4  #jeb3jah ,the pots also1 and 
the shovels1 and the snuffers1 and the  
basins1          and the spoons1 and all
 the vessels of brass with which        
they ministered1 took they away4        
#jeb3jai ,the cups1 and the fire pans1  
and the basins1 and the pots1           
and the lampstands1 and the spoons1 and 
the bowls--          that which was of  
gold1 in gold1 and that which was of    
silver1          in silver1--the captain
 of the guard took away4  #jeb3jbj ,the 
two pillars1 the one sea1 and the twelve
 bronze bulls          that were under  
the bases1 which king ,solomon had made 
for the house of ,yahweh4  ,the brass of
 all these vessels          was without 
weight4  #jeb3jba ,as for the pillars1  
the height of the one pillar was        
eighteen cubits2 and a line of twelve   
cubits did compass it2          and the 
thickness of it was four fingers3  it   
was hollow4  #jeb3jbb ,a capital of     

brass was on it2 and the height of the  
one capital          was five cubits1   
with network and pomegranates on the    
capital          round about1 all of    
brass3  and the second pillar also had  
like these1 and pomegranates4  #jeb3jbc 
,there were ninety-six pomegranates on  
the sides2 all the          pomegranates
 were one hundred on the network round  
about4  #jeb3jbd ,the captain of the    
guard took ,seraiah the chief priest1   
and ,zephaniah the second priest1 and   
the three keepers          of the       
threshold3  #jeb3jbe and out of the city
 he took an officer who was set over the
 men          of war2 and seven men of  
those who saw the king's face1          
who were found in the city2 and the     
scribe of the captain          of the   
army1 who mustered the people of the    
land2 and sixty          men of the     
people of the land1 who were found in   
the midst          of the city4         
#jeb3jbf ,nebuzaradan the captain of the
 guard took them1 and brought           

them to the king of ,babylon to ,riblah4
  #jeb3jbg ,the king of ,babylon struck 
them1 and put them to death at ,riblah  
in the land of ,hamath4  ,so ,judah was 
carried away captive          out of his
 land4  #jeb3jbh ,this is the people    
whom ,nebuchadnezzar carried away       
captive3          in the seventh year   
three thousand twenty-three ,jews2      
#jeb3jbi in the eighteenth year of      
,nebuchadnezzar he carried away         
captive from ,jerusalem eight hundred   
thirty-two persons2  #jeb3jcj in the    
three and twentieth year of             
,nebuchadnezzar ,nebuzaradan            
the captain of the guard carried away   
captive of the ,jews          seven     
hundred forty-five persons3  all the    
persons were four          thousand and 
six hundred4  #jeb3jca ,it happened in  
the seven and thirtieth year of the     
captivity          of ,jehoiachin king  
of ,judah1 in the twelfth month1        
in the five and twentieth day of the    
month1 that ,evilmerodach          king 

of ,babylon1 in the first year of his   
reign1 lifted up          the head of   
,jehoiachin king of ,judah1 and brought 
him forth          out of prison2       
#jeb3jcb and he spoke kindly to him1 and
 set his throne above the throne        
of the kings who were with him in       
,babylon1  #jeb3jcc and changed his     
prison garments4  ,jehoiachin ate bread 
before him continually all the days of  
his life3  #jeb3jcd and for his         
allowance1 there was a continual        
allowance given          him by the king
 of ,babylon1 every day a portion until 
the day          of his death1 all the  
days of his life4
