But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
For I will surely
rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a
spoil of war, declares the
LORD.’”

captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.

The captain of the guard found Jeremiah and said to him, “The
LORD your God decreed this
disaster on this place,
Now the
LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have
sinned against the
LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we
beseech thee, our
supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the
LORD thy God, even for all this
remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
Jeremiah the prophet and said, “May our petition come before you; pray to the
LORD your God on behalf of this entire
remnant. For few of us remain of the many, as you can see with your own eyes.
That the
LORD thy God may
shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Pray that the LORD your God will tell us the way we should walk and the thing we should do.”
Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the
LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that
whatsoever thing the
LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
“I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will surely pray to the
LORD your God as you request, and I will tell you everything that the
LORD answers; I will not
withhold a word from you.”
Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act upon every word that the LORD your God sends you to tell us.

LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your
supplication before him;
Jeremiah told them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition:
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and you thus disobey the voice of the LORD your God,
And now therefore hear the word of the
LORD, ye
remnant of Judah; Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to
sojourn there;
then hear the word of the
LORD, O
remnant of Judah! This is what the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and reside there,
For thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my
fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my
fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an
execration, and an
astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
For this is what the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of
cursing and
horror, of
vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’
The
LORD hath said concerning you, O ye
remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have
admonished you this day.
The
LORD has told you, O
remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for sure that I have
warned you
today!
For ye
dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the
LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the
LORD our God; and according unto all that the
LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
For you have
deceived yourselves by sending me to the
LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray to the
LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the
LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.’
And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
For I have told you
today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the
LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.

Then spake
Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the
LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to
sojourn there:
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the
arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The
LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
And say unto them, Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have
hid; and he shall spread his royal
pavilion over them.
Then tell them that this is what the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have
embedded, and he will spread his royal
pavilion over them.

LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a
desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the
disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie
today in ruins and
desolation Therefore now thus saith the
LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and
suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
So now, this is what the
LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great
harm to
yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving
yourselves without a
remnant?
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
Therefore this is what the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring
disaster and to cut off all Judah.
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the
LORD, we will not
hearken unto thee.
“As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the
LORD, we will not
listen to you!
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
“As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
So that the
LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a
desolation, and an
astonishment, and a
curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have
sinned against the
LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the
LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his
testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
Because you burned incense and
sinned against the
LORD, and did not obey the voice of the
LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His
testimonies, this
disaster has
befallen you, as you see
today.”

LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have
vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely
accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
This is what the
LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands your words: ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Go
ahead, then, do what you have promised! Keep your vows!
Therefore hear ye the word of the
LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have
sworn by my great name, saith the
LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The
Lord GOD liveth.
Nevertheless, hear the word of the
LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have
sworn by My great name, says the
LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt
invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the
Lord GOD lives.’
And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the
LORD, that I will
punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
This will be a sign to you that I will
punish you in this place, declares the
LORD, so that you may know that My threats of
harm against you will surely stand.
Thus saith the
LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave
Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
This is what the

LORD, the God of Israel, says to you,
Baruch:

didst say,

LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I
fainted in my
sighing, and I find no rest.
You have said, ‘
Woe is me because the
LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with
groaning and have found no rest.’”
Thus shalt thou say unto him, The
LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will
pluck up, even this whole land.
Thus Jeremiah was to say to
Baruch: “This is what the
LORD says: Throughout the land I will
demolish what I have built and
uproot what I have planted.
And seekest thou great things for
thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the
LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places
whither thou goest.

yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring
disaster on every living creature, declares the
LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a
spoil of war.”

flee in
haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the

For this is the day of the
Lord GOD of hosts, a day of
vengeance, that he may
avenge him of his
adversaries: and the sword shall
devour, and it shall be

quenched with their blood. For the

wail Because of the day that cometh to
spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the

LORD, how long will it be
ere thou be quiet? put up
thyself into thy
scabbard, rest, and be still.

Alas, O sword of the
LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your
sheath; cease and be still!’

weeping as they come, and will seek the
LORD their God.
They shall ask the way to
Zion with their faces
thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the
LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
They will ask the way to
Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and join themselves to the
LORD in an
everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
All who found them
devoured them, and their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty, for they have
sinned against the
LORD, their true pasture, the
LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
Because of the wrath of the
LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly
desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be
astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Because of the wrath of the
LORD, she will not be inhabited; she will become completely
desolate. All who pass through Babylon will be
horrified and will hiss at all her wounds.
Put
yourselves in
array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her,
spare no arrows: for she hath
sinned against the
LORD.
Line up in formation around Babylon, all you who draw the bow! Shoot at her!
Spare no arrows! For she has
sinned against the
LORD.
