spoiler at
noonday: I have caused

noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them

Then said they, Come, and let us
devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us
smite him with the tongue, and let us not give
heed to any of his words.
Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an
oracle to the prophet. Come, let us

him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was
weary with

revenge on
him.

him; let us report
him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be

him and take our
vengeance upon
him.”

noon,

pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that
besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto
him for a prey.

besiege you will live; he will retain his life like a
spoil of war.
O house of David, thus saith the LORD;
Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver
him that is
spoiled out of the hand of the
oppressor, lest my
fury go out like fire, and burn that none can
quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
O house of David, this is what the LORD says: ‘

rescue the
victim of
robbery from the hand of his
oppressor, or My wrath will go forth like fire and burn with no one to
extinguish it because of their evil deeds.
Weep ye not for the dead, neither
bemoan him: but
weep sore for
him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

whither they have led
him captive, and shall see this land no more.
but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”

him not for his work;

That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth
him out windows; and it is cieled with
cedar, and painted with
vermilion.
who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with
spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with
cedar, and paints it with
vermilion.
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest
thyself in
cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with
him?
Does it make you a king to
excel in
cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with
him.
He judged the cause of the poor and
needy; then it was well with
him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
He took up the cause of the poor and
needy, and so it went well with
him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.

Ah his glory!

him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized
him,

amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will
repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

disaster He has pronounced against you.
Did
Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put
him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and
besought the LORD, and the LORD
repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we
procure great evil against our souls.
Did
Hezekiah king of Judah or
anyone else in Judah put
him to death? Did
Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the
disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great
harm on ourselves!”

him to King
Jehoiakim, who had
him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.

him and his people, and live.

him and his people, and live!

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve

madman who acts like a prophet—you must put
him in stocks and neck irons.

him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
“Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has
prophesied to you—though I did not send
him—and has made you trust in a lie,

him afraid.

bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast
chastised me, and I was
chastised, as a
bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.

moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained
calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
Is Ephraim my
dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against
him, I do earnestly remember
him still: therefore my
bowels are troubled for
him; I will surely have mercy upon
him, saith the LORD.
Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against
him, I still remember
him. Therefore My heart yearns for
him; I have great
compassion for
him,” declares the LORD.

grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with
him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.

manservant, and every man his
maidservant, being an Hebrew or an
Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve
himself of them, to wit, of a
Jew his brother.

Jew in
bondage.

him go free from thee: but your fathers
hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold

hearth burning before
him.
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
And I will
punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they
hearkened not.
I will
punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the
calamity about which I
warned them but they did not
listen.”
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah started to leave Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin to claim his portion there among the people.
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
But when he reached the Gate of Benjamin, the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, seized him and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans!”
Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he
hearkened not to
him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought
him to the princes.
“That is a lie,” Jeremiah replied. “I am not deserting to the Chaldeans!” But Irijah would not
listen to
him; instead, he arrested Jeremiah and took
him to the officials.
Wherefore the princes were
wroth with Jeremiah, and
smote him, and put
him in prison in the house of
Jonathan the
scribe: for they had made that the prison.
The officials were
angry with Jeremiah, and they beat
him and placed
him in
jail in the house of
Jonathan the
scribe, for it had been made into a prison.
Then
Zedekiah the king sent, and took
him out: and the king asked
him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Later, King
Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received
him in his palace, where he asked
him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Then
Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give
him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
So King
Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the
courtyard of the guard and given a
loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the
courtyard of the guard.
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast
him into the
dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the
dungeon there was no water, but
mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the
mire.
So they took Jeremiah and dropped
him into the
cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the
courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the
cistern, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah
sank down into the mud.
