Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded
his father
Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
Woe unto him that buildeth
his house by unrighteousness, and
his chambers by wrong; that useth
his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for
his work;
“

his palace by unrighteousness, and
his upper rooms without justice, who makes
his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,

lament for him, saying,
Ah my brother! or,
Ah sister! they shall not
lament for him, saying,
Ah lord! or,
Ah his glory!
Is this man Coniah a
despised broken
idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and
his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Is this man Coniah a
despised and
shattered pot, a
jar that no one wants? Why are he and
his descendants
hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not
prosper in
his days: for no man of
his seed shall
prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
This is what the LORD says: “
Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not
prosper in
his lifetime. None of
his descendants will
prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”

Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones
shake; I am like a
drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of
his holiness.
As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, and all my bones
tremble. I have become like a
drunkard, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD, because of
His holy words.
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an
horrible thing: they commit
adultery, and walk in lies: they
strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none
doth return from
his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as
Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as
Gomorrah.
And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a
horrible thing: They commit
adultery and walk in lies. They
strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns
his back on wickedness. They are all like
Sodom to Me; the people of Jerusalem are like
Gomorrah.”
They say still unto them that
despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of
his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to
everyone who walks in the
stubbornness of
his own heart, ‘No
harm will come to you.’
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear
His word? Who has given
heed to
His word and obeyed it?
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.

forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to
his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for

punish that man and
his house.
As for the prophet or priest or
anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will
punish that man and
his household.
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered?’ or ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be
his burden; for ye have
perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you
pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give
Zedekiah the king of Judah, and
his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with
Zedekiah king of Judah,
his officials, and the
remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.

his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not
hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers
forever and ever.

astonishment, and an
hissing, and perpetual desolations.
behold, I will
summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will
devote them to destruction and make them an object of
horror and contempt, an
everlasting desolation.
To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a
desolation, an
astonishment, an
hissing, and a
curse; as it is this day;
to make them a ruin, an object of
horror and contempt and
cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
Therefore
prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall
roar from on high, and utter
his voice from
his holy
habitation; he shall
mightily roar upon
his habitation; he shall give a
shout, as they that
tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will
roar from on high; He will raise
His voice from
His holy
habitation. He will
roar loudly over
His pasture; like those who
tread the grapes, He will call out with a
shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
He has left
His den like a lion, for their land has been made a
desolation by the sword of the
oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
If so be they will
hearken, and turn every man from
his evil way, that I may
repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
Perhaps they will
listen and turn—each from
his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the
disaster I am
planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
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!”
And when
Jehoiakim the king, with all
his mighty men, and all the princes, heard
his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

Jehoiakim and all
his mighty men and officials heard
his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.
And they
fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto
Jehoiakim the king; who
slew him with the sword, and cast
his dead body into the graves of the common people.
They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King
Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and
his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.

his son and grandson, until the time of
his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will
enslave him.
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I
punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the
pestilence, until I have consumed them by
his hand.
As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under
his yoke, I will
punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by
his hand.
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!
Even the prophet Jeremiah said,
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

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.

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on
his way.
Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
And I will
persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the
pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a
curse, and an
astonishment, and an
hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations
whither I have driven them:
I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a
horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a
curse, a
desolation, and an object of
scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I
banish them.
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will
punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and
his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely
punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and
his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
Ask ye now, and see whether a man
doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with
his hands on
his loins, as a woman in
travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?

tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers
enslave them.

his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own
heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

compassion on
his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would
dare on
his own to approach Me?” declares the LORD.

shepherd keeps
his flock.

sour grape,
his teeth shall be set on edge.

sour grapes,

his neighbour, and every man
his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will
forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

his eyes shall behold
his eyes;

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the
bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is
his name,
You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
“Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:
The voice of joy, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for
his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

gladness, the voices of the
bride and
bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing
thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give
thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good;

forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, says the LORD.

then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
then I would also
reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from
his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have
compassion on them.”
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all
his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of
his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all
his army, all the earthly kingdoms under
his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
And you
yourself will not escape
his 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.
That every man should let
his 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.
that each man should free
his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold
his fellow
Jew in
bondage.
Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let
his manservant, and every one
his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in
bondage. They obeyed and released them,
At the end of seven years let ye go every man
his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let 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 himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not
listen or
incline their ear.
And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in
proclaiming liberty every man to
his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Recently you
repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for
his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
But ye turned and
polluted my name, and caused every man
his servant, and every man
his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
But now you have changed your minds and
profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not
hearkened unto me, in
proclaiming liberty, every one to
his brother, and every man to
his neighbour: behold, I
proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the
pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for
his brother and for
his neighbor. So now I
proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a
horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
And
Zedekiah king of Judah and
his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.

Zedekiah king of Judah and
his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and
his brethren, and all
his sons, and the whole house of the
Rechabites;
So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and
his brothers and all
his sons—the entire house of the
Rechabites—
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded
his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye
hearkened not unto me.
The words of Jonadab son of Rechab have been carried out. He commanded
his sons not to drink wine, and they have not
drunk it to this very day because they have obeyed the command of their
forefather. But I have spoken to you again and again, and you have not obeyed Me!
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from
his evil way, and
amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor
hearkened unto me.
Again and again I have sent you all My servants the prophets,
proclaiming: ‘Turn now, each of you, from your wicked ways, and correct your actions. Do not go after other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I have given to you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear or
listened to Me.
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the
Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all
his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
Then Jeremiah said to the house of the
Rechabites: “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the command of your
forefather Jonadab and have kept all
his commandments and have done all that he charged you to do,
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from
his evil way; that I may
forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the
calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from
his wicked way. Then I will
forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
It may be they will present their
supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from
his evil way: for great is the anger and the
fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from
his wicked way; for great are the anger and
fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto
Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So
Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in
his hand, and came unto them.
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.
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.”
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the
hearth burning before him.
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
Yet in hearing all these words, the king and
his servants did not become
frightened or
tear their garments.
Therefore thus saith the LORD of
Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and
his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the
frost.
Therefore this is what the LORD says about
Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and
his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and
frost by night.
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.”
But neither he, nor
his servants, nor the people of the land, did
hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
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.
For though ye had
smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in
his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Indeed, if you were to strike down the entire army of the Chaldeans that is fighting against you, and only wounded men remained in their tents, they would still get up and burn this city down.”
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.
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.”
Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the
pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have
his life for a prey, and shall live.
“This is what the LORD says:
Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but
whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans will live; he will retain
his life like a
spoil of war, and he will live.
In the ninth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all
his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
In the ninth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with
his entire army and laid siege to the city.
Then the king of Babylon
slew the sons of
Zedekiah in Riblah before
his eyes: also the king of Babylon
slew all the nobles of Judah.
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of
Zedekiah before
his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah.
