captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us
mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of
Zion.

Zion.”

Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant
roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou
ravished always with her love.

lust in your heart for her beauty or let her
captivate you with her eyes.

glance of your eyes, with one
jewel of your neck.

captives of their
captors and rule over their oppressors.

Ashdod, and took it;

captives, young and old, naked and

precept upon
precept,
precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and
snared, and taken.

stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and
captured.

begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am
desolate, a
captive, and removing to and
fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

anointed me to
preach good
tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has
anointed Me to
preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the
captives and freedom to the prisoners,

Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the
eleventh year of

Therefore I am full of the
fury of the LORD; I am
weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
But I am full of the LORD’s wrath; I am
tired of holding it back. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the young men gathered together. For both husband and wife will be
captured, the old and the very old alike.
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will
sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

sling out the inhabitants of the land and bring distress upon them so that they may be
captured.”

weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall
weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is carried away

captive.
What
wilt thou say when he shall
punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be
captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in
travail?

yourself trained? Will not pangs of
anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee,
Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the
captivity, to the
captivity.

thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them
captive into Babylon, and shall
slay them with the sword.

captivity: surely then shalt thou be
ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

humiliated because of all your wickedness.

captive Jeconiah the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
After

Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the
craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.

captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
Which
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away
captive Jeconiah the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
which
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the
captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
