words of the prophets who
prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.

yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these
words in your ears.

Send
word to the kings of
Edom, Moab,
Ammon, Tyre, and
Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to
Zedekiah king of Judah.
I spake also to
Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these
words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
And to
Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!

Hearken not to the
words of your prophets that
prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they
prophesy a lie unto you.
Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not
listen to the
words of your prophets who
prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are
prophesying to you a lie.
But if they be prophets, and if the
word of the LORD be with them, let them now make
intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
If they are indeed prophets and the
word of the LORD is with them, let them now
plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.

Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy
words which thou hast
prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’S house, and all that is carried away
captive, from Babylon into this place.
“
Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD
fulfill the
words you have
prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
Nevertheless,
listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away
captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom
Nebuchadnezzar had carried away
captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the
surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others
Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and
confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
Because they have not
hearkened to my
words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
I will do this because they have not
listened to My
words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles
listened, declares the LORD.”
Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Because they have committed
villany in Israel, and have committed
adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken lying
words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.
For they have committed an
outrage in Israel by
committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”

word of the LORD, and
proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a

bless thee, O

holiness.

thyself. Then I knew that this was the
word of the LORD.

courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please
buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and
redemption.
Buy it for
yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the
word of the LORD.

word of the LORD, O
Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;

lament thee, saying,
Ah lord! for I have pronounced the

word, declares the LORD.”

Josiah, even into this day.

scroll and write on it all the
words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of

Then Jeremiah called

Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the
words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
So Jeremiah called

dictation of Jeremiah,
Baruch wrote on a
scroll all the
words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the
words of the LORD from the
scroll you have written at my
dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
And

words of the LORD in the LORD’S house.
So
Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the

Then all the officials sent
word to
Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the
scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So
Baruch son of Neriah took the
scroll and went to them.

words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto
Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these
words.

words, they turned to one another in fear and said to
Baruch, “Surely we must report all these
words to the king.”
And they asked
Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How
didst thou write all these
words at his mouth?
“Tell us now,” they asked
Baruch, “how did you write all these
words? Was it at Jeremiah’s
dictation?”
Then
Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these
words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
“It was at his
dictation,”
Baruch replied. “He recited all these
words to me and I wrote them in ink on the
scroll.”

dictation, the
word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

words that were in the first roll, which
Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
“Take another
scroll and rewrite on it the very
words that were on the original
scroll, which
Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to
Baruch the
scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the
words of the book which
Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like
words.
Then Jeremiah took another
scroll and gave it to the
scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s
dictation he wrote on it all the
words of the
scroll that
Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar

But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
