The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 concerning H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that was the first H7224 year H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon; H894

From the thirteenth H7969 H6240 year H8141 of Josiah H2977 the son H1121 of Amon H526 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 even to this H2088 day, H3117 that is the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 year, H8141 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 has come H1961 to me, and I have spoken H1696 to you, rising H7925 early H7925 and speaking; H1696 but you have not listened. H8085

In the beginning H7225 of the reign H4468 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah H3063 came H1961 this H2088 word H1697 from the LORD, H3068 saying, H559

If H194 so be they will listen, H8085 and turn H7725 every man H376 from his evil H7451 way, H1870 that I may repent H5162 me of the evil, H7451 which H834 I purpose H2803 to do H6213 to them because H6440 of the evil H7455 of their doings. H4611

To listen H8085 to the words H1697 of my servants H5650 the prophets, H5030 whom H834 I sent H7971 to you, both rising H7925 up early, H7925 and sending H7971 them, but you have not listened; H8085

So the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 and all H3605 the people H5971 heard H8085 Jeremiah H3414 speaking H1696 these H428 words H1697 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Why H4069 have you prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 This H2088 house H1004 shall be like Shiloh, H7887 and this H2063 city H5892 shall be desolate H2717 without H369 an inhabitant? H3427 And all H3605 the people H5971 were gathered H6950 against H413 Jeremiah H3414 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

Then spoke H559 the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 to the princes H8269 and to all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559 This H2088 man H376 is worthy to die; H4194 for he has prophesied H5012 against H413 this H2063 city, H5892 as you have heard H8085 with your ears. H241

Therefore now H6258 amend H3190 your ways H1870 and your doings, H4611 and obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God; H430 and the LORD H3068 will repent H5162 him of the evil H7451 that he has pronounced H1696 against H5921 you.

But know H3045 you for certain, H3045 that if H518 you put me to death, H4191 you shall surely H3588 bring H5414 innocent H5355 blood H1818 on yourselves, and on this H2063 city, H5892 and on the inhabitants H3427 thereof: for of a truth H571 the LORD H3068 has sent H7971 me to you to speak H1696 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 in your ears. H241

Then rose H6965 up certain H582 of the elders H2205 of the land, H776 and spoke H559 to all H3605 the assembly H6951 of the people, H5971 saying, H559

Did Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and all H3605 Judah H3063 put him at all to death? H4191 did he not fear H3373 the LORD, H3068 and sought H2470 the LORD, H3068 and the LORD H3068 repented H5162 him of the evil H7451 which H834 he had pronounced H1696 against H5921 them? Thus might we procure H6213 great H1419 evil H7451 against H5921 our souls. H5315

And when Jehoiakim H3079 the king, H4428 with all H3605 his mighty H1368 men, and all H3605 the princes, H8269 heard H8085 his words, H1697 the king H4428 sought H1245 to put him to death: H4191 but when Urijah H223 heard H8085 it, he was afraid, H3372 and fled, H1272 and went H935 into Egypt; H4714

And they fetched H3318 forth H3318 Urijah H223 out of Egypt, H4714 and brought H935 him to Jehoiakim H3079 the king; H4428 who slew H5221 him with the sword, H2719 and cast H7993 his dead H5038 body H5038 into H413 the graves H6913 of the common H1121 people. H5971

The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD H3068 in the days H3117 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559

Then I took H3947 Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of Jeremiah, H3414 the son H1121 of Habaziniah, H2262 and his brothers, H251 and all H3605 his sons, H1121 and the whole H3605 house H1004 of the Rechabites; H7397

And I set H5414 before H6440 the sons H1121 of the house H1004 of the Rechabites H7397 pots H1375 full H4392 of wine, H3196 and cups, H3563 and I said H559 to them, Drink H8354 you wine. H3196

Neither H3808 shall you build H1129 house, H1004 nor H3808 sow H2232 seed, H2233 nor H3808 plant H5193 vineyard, H3754 nor H3808 have any: but all H3605 your days H3117 you shall dwell H3427 in tents; H168 that you may live H2421 many H7227 days H3117 in the land H127 where H834 H8033 you be strangers. H1481

Nor H1115 to build H1129 houses H1004 for us to dwell H3427 in: neither H3808 have H1961 we vineyard, H3754 nor field, H7704 nor seed: H2233

But it came H1961 to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H5927 up into H413 the land, H776 that we said, H559 Come, H935 and let us go H935 to Jerusalem H3389 for fear H6440 of the army H2428 of the Chaldeans, H3778 and for fear H6440 of the army H2428 of the Syrians: H758 so we dwell H3427 at Jerusalem. H3389

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Go H1980 and tell H559 the men H376 of Judah H3063 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 Will you not receive H3947 instruction H4148 to listen H8085 to my words? H1697 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

I have sent H7971 also to you all H3605 my servants H5650 the prophets, H5030 rising H7925 up early H7925 and sending H7971 them, saying, H559 Return H7725 you now H4994 every man H376 from his evil H7451 way, H1870 and amend H3190 your doings, H4611 and go H3212 not after H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve H5647 them, and you shall dwell H3427 in the land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 to you and to your fathers: H1 but you have not inclined H5186 your ear, H241 nor H3808 listened H8085 to me.

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, H2005 I will bring H935 on Judah H3063 and on all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 all H3605 the evil H7451 that I have pronounced H1696 against H5921 them: because H3282 I have spoken H1696 to them, but they have not heard; H8085 and I have called H7121 to them, but they have not answered. H6030

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 shall not want H3772 a man H376 to stand H5975 before H6440 me for ever. H3605 H3117

In his days H3117 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H5927 up, and Jehoiakim H3079 became H1961 his servant H5650 three H7969 years: H8141 then he turned H7725 and rebelled H4775 against him.

Surely H389 at H5921 the commandment H6310 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 this on Judah, H3063 to remove H5493 them out of his sight, H6440 for the sins H2403 of Manasseh, H4519 according to all H3605 that he did; H6213

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jehoiakim, H3079 and all H3605 that he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063

And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 came H3318 not again H3254 any more H5750 out of his land: H776 for the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H3947 from the river H5158 of Egypt H4714 to the river H5158 Euphrates H6578 all H3605 that pertained to the king H4428 of Egypt. H4714

And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that his father H1 had done. H6213

Jehoiakim H3079 was twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 eleven H259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem: H3389 and he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 his God. H430

Nebuchadnezzar H5019 also carried H935 of the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 to Babylon, H894 and put H5414 them in his temple H1964 at Babylon. H894

The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD, H3068 when king H4428 Zedekiah H6667 sent H7971 to him Pashur H6583 the son H1121 of Melchiah, H4441 and Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 of Maaseiah H4641 the priest, H3548 saying, H559

Then said H559 Jeremiah H3414 to them, Thus H3541 shall you say H559 to Zedekiah: H6667

And I myself H589 will fight H3898 against you with an outstretched H5186 hand H3027 and with a strong H2389 arm, H2220 even in anger, H639 and in fury, H2534 and in great H1419 wrath. H7110

And afterward, H310 H3651 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 I will deliver H5414 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and his servants, H5650 and the people, H5971 and such as are left H7604 in this H2063 city H5892 from the pestilence, H1698 from the sword, H2719 and from the famine, H7458 into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 and into the hand H3027 of those that seek H1245 their life: H5315 and he shall smite H5221 them with the edge H6310 of the sword; H2719 he shall not spare H2347 them, neither H3808 have pity, H2550 nor H3808 have mercy. H7355

He that stays H3427 in this H2063 city H5892 shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 and by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence: H1698 but he that goes H3318 out, and falls H5307 to the Chaldeans H3778 that besiege H6696 you, he shall live, H2421 and his life H5315 shall be to him for a prey. H7998

And touching the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah, H3063 say, Hear H8085 you the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068

Behold, H2005 I am against H413 you, O inhabitant H3427 of the valley, H6010 and rock H6697 of the plain, H4334 said H5002 the LORD; H3068 which say, H559 Who H4310 shall come H5181 down H5181 against H5921 us? or who H4310 shall enter H935 into our habitations? H4585

And it came H1961 to pass the same H1931 year, H8141 in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 in the fourth H7243 year, H8141 and in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 that Hananiah H2608 the son H1121 of Azur H5809 the prophet, H5030 which H834 was of Gibeon, H1391 spoke H559 to me in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 in the presence H5869 of the priests H3548 and of all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559

Within H5750 two full H3117 years H8141 will I bring H7725 again H7725 into this H2008 place H4725 all H3605 the vessels H3627 of the LORD's H3068 house, H1004 that Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 took H3947 away from this H2008 place, H4725 and carried H935 them to Babylon: H894

Then the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 said H559 to the prophet H5030 Hananiah H2608 in the presence H5869 of the priests, H3548 and in the presence H5869 of all H3605 the people H5971 that stood H5975 in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068

Nevertheless H389 hear H8085 you now H4994 this H2008 word H1697 that I speak H1696 in your ears, H241 and in the ears H241 of all H3605 the people; H5971

The prophet H5030 which H834 prophesies H5012 of peace, H7965 when the word H1697 of the prophet H5030 shall come H935 to pass, then shall the prophet H5030 be known, H3045 that the LORD H3068 has truly H571 sent H7971 him.

And Hananiah H2608 spoke H559 in the presence H5869 of all H3605 the people, H5971 saying, H559 Thus H3602 said H559 the LORD; H3068 Even H3602 so H3602 will I break H7665 the yoke H5923 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 from the neck H6677 of all H3605 nations H1471 within H5750 the space H5750 of two full H3117 years. H8141 And the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 went H3212 his way. H1870

Go H1980 and tell H559 Hananiah, H2608 saying, H559 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD; H3068 You have broken H7665 the yokes H4133 of wood; H6086 but you shall make H6213 for them yokes H4133 of iron. H1270

Then said H559 the prophet H5030 Jeremiah H3414 to Hananiah H2608 the prophet, H5030 Hear H8085 now, H4994 Hananiah; H2608 The LORD H3068 has not sent H7971 you; but you make this H2008 people H5971 to trust H982 in a lie. H8267

So Hananiah H2608 the prophet H5030 died H4191 the same H1931 year H8141 in the seventh H7637 month. H2320

The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 from the LORD, H3068 when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and all H3605 his army, H2428 and all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 of his dominion, H4475 and all H3605 the people, H5971 fought H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof, saying, H559

And you shall not escape H4422 out of his hand, H3027 but shall surely H3588 be taken, H8610 and delivered H5414 into his hand; H3027 and your eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 the eyes H5869 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and he shall speak H1696 with you mouth H6310 to mouth, H6310 and you shall go H935 to Babylon. H894

But you shall die H4191 in peace: H7965 and with the burnings H4955 of your fathers, H1 the former H7223 kings H4428 which H834 were before H6440 you, so H3651 shall they burn H8313 odors for you; and they will lament H5594 you, saying, Ah H1945 lord! H113 for I have pronounced H1696 the word, H1697 said H5002 the LORD. H3068

When the king H4428 of Babylon's H894 army H2428 fought H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 that were left, H3498 against H413 Lachish, H3923 and against H413 Azekah: H5825 for these H2007 defended H4013 cities H5892 remained H7604 of the cities H5892 of Judah. H3063

That every man H376 should let his manservant, H5650 and every man H376 his maidservant, H8198 being an Hebrew H5680 or an Hebrewess, H5680 go H7971 free; H2670 that none H1115 should serve H5647 himself of them, to wit, of a Jew H3064 his brother. H251

But afterward H310 H3651 they turned, H7725 and caused the servants H5650 and the handmaids, H8198 whom H834 they had let go H7971 free, H2670 to return, H7725 and brought H3533 them into subjection H3533 for servants H5650 and for handmaids. H8198

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 I made H3772 a covenant H1285 with your fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I brought H3318 them forth H3318 out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 out of the house H1004 of slaves, H5650 saying, H559

And you were now H3117 turned, H7725 and had done H6213 right H3477 in my sight, H5869 in proclaiming H7121 liberty H1865 every man H376 to his neighbor; H7453 and you had made H3772 a covenant H1285 before H6440 me in the house H1004 which H834 is called H7121 by my name: H8034

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD; H3068 You have not listened H8085 to me, in proclaiming H7121 liberty, H1865 every one H376 to his brother, H251 and every man H376 to his neighbor: H7453 behold, H2005 I proclaim H7121 a liberty H1865 for you, said H5002 the LORD, H3068 to the sword, H2719 to the pestilence, H1698 and to the famine; H7458 and I will make H5414 you to be removed H2189 into all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth. H776

The princes H8269 of Judah, H3063 and the princes H8269 of Jerusalem, H3389 the eunuchs, H5631 and the priests, H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971 of the land, H776 which passed H5674 between H996 the parts H1335 of the calf; H5695

And Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his princes H8269 will I give H5414 into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 and into the hand H3027 of them that seek H1245 their life, H5315 and into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon's H894 army, H2428 which are gone H5927 up from you.

And king H4428 Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 reigned H4427 instead H8478 of Coniah H3659 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim, H3079 whom H834 Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 made king H4428 in the land H776 of Judah. H3063

And Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 sent H7971 Jehucal H3081 the son H1121 of Shelemiah H8018 and Zephaniah H6846 the son H1121 of Maaseiah H4641 the priest H3548 to the prophet H5030 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559 Pray H6419 now H4994 to the LORD H3068 our God H430 for us.

Then Pharaoh's H6547 army H2428 was come H3318 forth H3318 out of Egypt: H4714 and when the Chaldeans H3778 that besieged H6696 Jerusalem H3389 heard H8085 tidings H8088 of them, they departed H5927 from Jerusalem. H3389

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Thus H3541 shall you say H559 to the king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that sent H7971 you to me to inquire H1875 of me; Behold, H2005 Pharaoh's H6547 army, H2428 which is come H3318 forth H3318 to help H5833 you, shall return H7725 to Egypt H4714 into their own land. H776

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD; H3068 Deceive H5377 not yourselves, H5315 saying, H559 The Chaldeans H3778 shall surely depart H1980 from us: for they shall not depart. H1980

And it came H1961 to pass, that when the army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 was broken H5927 up from Jerusalem H3389 for fear H6440 of Pharaoh's H6547 army, H2428

And when he was in the gate H8179 of Benjamin, H1144 a captain H1167 of the ward H6488 was there, H8033 whose name H8034 was Irijah, H3376 the son H1121 of Shelemiah, H8018 the son H1121 of Hananiah; H2608 and he took H8610 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 saying, H559 You fall H5307 away to the Chaldeans. H3778

Why the princes H8269 were wroth H7107 with Jeremiah, H3414 and smote H5221 him, and put H5414 him in prison H612 in the house H1004 of Jonathan H3083 the scribe: H5608 for they had made H6213 that the prison. H3608

Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 sent, H7971 and took H3947 him out: and the king H4428 asked H7592 him secretly H5643 in his house, H1004 and said, H559 Is there any word H1697 from the LORD? H3068 And Jeremiah H3414 said, H559 There is: for, said H559 he, you shall be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon. H894

Where H346 are now your prophets H5030 which H834 prophesied H5012 to you, saying, H559 The king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall not come H935 against H5921 you, nor against H5921 this H2063 land? H776

Then Zedekiah H6667 the king H4428 commanded H6680 that they should commit H6485 Jeremiah H3414 into the court H2691 of the prison, H4307 and that they should give H5414 him daily H3117 a piece H3603 of bread H3899 out of the bakers' H644 street, H2351 until H5704 all H3605 the bread H3899 in the city H5892 were spent. H8552 Thus Jeremiah H3414 remained H3427 in the court H2691 of the prison. H4307

Zedekiah H6667 was one H259 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 eleven H259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Hamutal H2537 the daughter H1323 of Jeremiah H3414 of Libnah. H3841

For through H5921 the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 it came H1961 to pass in Jerusalem H3389 and Judah, H3063 till H5704 he had cast H7993 them out from his presence, H6440 that Zedekiah H6667 rebelled H4775 against the king H4428 of Babylon. H894

So the city H5892 was besieged H935 H4692 to the eleventh H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Zedekiah. H6667

Then the city H5892 was broken H1234 up, and all H3605 the men H582 of war H4421 fled, H1272 and went H3318 forth H3318 out of the city H5892 by night H3915 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 between H996 the two walls, H2346 which H834 was by the king's H4428 garden; H1588 (now the Chaldeans H3778 were by the city H5892 round H5439 about:) and they went H3212 by the way H1870 of the plain. H6160

Then they took H8610 the king, H4428 and carried H5927 him up to the king H4428 of Babylon H894 to Riblah H7247 in the land H776 of Hamath; H2574 where he gave H1696 judgment H4941 on him.

Then he put H5786 out the eyes H5869 of Zedekiah; H6667 and the king H4428 of Babylon H894 bound H631 him in chains, H5178 and carried H935 him to Babylon, H894 and put H5414 him in prison H1004 H6486 till H5704 the day H3117 of his death. H4194

And burned H8313 the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the king's H4428 house; H1004 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of the great H1419 men, burned H8313 he with fire: H784

Then Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carried H1540 away captive H1540 certain of the poor H1803 of the people, H5971 and the residue H3499 of the people H5971 that remained H7604 in the city, H5892 and those that fell H5307 away, that fell H5307 to the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and the rest H3499 of the multitude. H527

Also the pillars H5982 of brass H5178 that were in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the bases, H4350 and the brazen H5178 sea H3220 that was in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 the Chaldeans H3779 broke, H7665 and carried H5375 all H3605 the brass H5178 of them to Babylon. H894

And the basins, H5592 and the fire pans, H4289 and the bowls, H4219 and the caldrons, H5518 and the candlesticks, H4501 and the spoons, H3709 and the cups; H4518 that which H834 was of gold H2091 in gold, H2091 and that which H834 was of silver H3701 in silver, H3701 took H3947 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 away.

And concerning the pillars, H5982 the height H6967 of one H259 pillar H5982 was eighteen H8083 H6240 cubits; H520 and a fillet H2339 of twelve H8147 H6240 cubits H520 did compass H5437 it; and the thickness H5672 thereof was four H702 fingers: H676 it was hollow. H5014

And there were ninety H8673 and six H8337 pomegranates H7416 on a side; H7307 and all H3605 the pomegranates H7416 on the network H7639 were an hundred H3967 round H5439 about.

He took H3947 also out of the city H5892 an eunuch, H5631 which H834 had H1961 the charge H6496 of the men H582 of war; H4421 and seven H7651 men H582 of them that were near H7200 the king's H4428 person, H6440 which H834 were found H4672 in the city; H5892 and the principal H8269 scribe H5608 of the host, H6635 who mustered H6633 the people H5971 of the land; H776 and three score H7657 men H376 of the people H5971 of the land, H776 that were found H4672 in the middle H8432 of the city. H5892

And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 smote H5221 them, and put them to death H4191 in Riblah H7247 in the land H127 of Hamath. H2574 Thus Judah H3063 was carried H1540 away captive H1540 out of his own land. H127

In the eighteenth H6240 year H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar H5019 he carried away captive H1540 from Jerusalem H3389 eight H8083 hundred H3967 thirty H7970 and two H8147 persons: H5315

And it came H1961 to pass in the seven H7651 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of the captivity H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 in the five H2568 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 that Evilmerodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894 in the first year H8141 of his reign H4438 lifted H5375 up the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and brought H3318 him forth H3318 out of prison. H3608

And changed H8138 his prison H3608 garments: H899 and he did continually H8548 eat H398 bread H3899 before H6440 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416

And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 made Mattaniah H4983 his father's H1730 brother H251 king H4427 in his stead, H8478 and changed H5437 his name H8034 to Zedekiah. H6667

And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that Jehoiakim H3079 had done. H6213

And it came H1961 to pass in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 in the tenth H6218 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 that Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came, H935 he, and all H3605 his host, H2428 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and pitched H2583 against H5921 it; and they built H1129 forts H1785 against H5921 it round H5439 about.

And on the ninth H8672 day of the fourth month H2320 the famine H7458 prevailed H2388 in the city, H5892 and there was no H3808 bread H3899 for the people H5971 of the land. H776

And the army H2428 of the Chaldees H3778 pursued H7291 after H310 the king, H4428 and overtook H5381 him in the plains H6160 of Jericho: H3405 and all H3605 his army H2428 were scattered H6327 from him.

And they slew H7819 the sons H1121 of Zedekiah H6667 before his eyes, H5869 and put H5786 out the eyes H5869 of Zedekiah, H6667 and bound H631 him with fetters H5178 of brass, H5178 and carried H935 him to Babylon. H894

And he burnt H8313 the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the king's H4428 house, H1004 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and every H3605 great H1419 man's house H1004 burnt H8313 he with fire. H784

Now the rest H3499 of the people H5971 that were left H7604 in the city, H5892 and the fugitives H5307 that fell H5307 away to the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 with the remnant H3499 of the multitude, H1995 did Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carry H1540 away. H1540

And the pillars H5982 of brass H5178 that were in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the bases, H4350 and the brazen H5178 sea H3220 that was in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 did the Chaldees H3778 break H7665 in pieces, and carried H5375 the brass H5178 of them to Babylon. H894

And the fire pans, H4289 and the bowls, H4219 and such things as were of gold, H2091 in gold, H2091 and of silver, H3701 in silver, H3701 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took H3947 away.

The height H6967 of the one H259 pillar H5982 was eighteen H8083 H6240 cubits, H520 and the capital H3805 on it was brass: H5178 and the height H6967 of the capital H3805 three H7969 cubits; H520 and the wreathen H7639 work, H7639 and pomegranates H7416 on the capital H3805 round H5439 about, all H3605 of brass: H5178 and like to these H428 had the second H8145 pillar H5982 with wreathen H7639 work. H7639

And out of the city H5892 he took H3947 an officer H5631 that was set H6496 over H5921 the men H582 of war, H4421 and five H2568 men H582 of them that were in the king's H4428 presence, H6440 which H834 were found H4672 in the city, H5892 and the principal H8269 scribe H5608 of the host, H6635 which mustered H6633 the people H5971 of the land, H776 and three score H8346 men H376 of the people H5971 of the land H776 that were found H4672 in the city: H5892

And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 smote H5221 them, and slew H4191 them at Riblah H7247 in the land H776 of Hamath. H2574 So Judah H3063 was carried H1540 away H1540 out of their land. H127

And when all H3605 the captains H8269 of the armies, H2428 they and their men, H582 heard H8085 that the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had made Gedaliah H1436 governor, H6485 there came H935 to Gedaliah H1436 to Mizpah, H4709 even Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah, H5418 and Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Careah, H7143 and Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Tanhumeth H8576 the Netophathite, H5200 and Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of a Maachathite, H4602 they and their men. H582

But it came H1961 to pass in the seventh H7637 month, H2320 that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah, H5418 the son H1121 of Elishama, H476 of the seed H2233 royal, H4410 came, H935 and ten H6235 men H582 with him, and smote H5221 Gedaliah, H1436 that he died, H4191 and the Jews H3064 and the Chaldees H3778 that were with him at Mizpah. H4709

And it came H1961 to pass in the seven H7651 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of the captivity H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 on the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 that Evilmerodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894 in the year H8141 that he began to reign H4427 did lift H5375 up the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 out of prison; H1004

And changed H8132 his prison H1004 H3608 garments: H899 and he did eat H398 bread H3899 continually H8548 before H6440 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416

Zedekiah H6667 was one H259 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and reigned H4427 eleven H259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389

And he also H1571 rebelled H4775 against king H4428 Nebuchadnezzar, H5019 who H834 had made him swear H7650 by God: H430 but he stiffened H7185 his neck, H6203 and hardened H553 his heart H3824 from turning H7725 to the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

And the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 sent H7971 to them by his messengers, H4397 rising H7925 up betimes, H7925 and sending; H7971 because H3588 he had compassion H2550 on H5921 his people, H5971 and on H5921 his dwelling H4583 place:

Therefore he brought H5927 on them the king H4428 of the Chaldees, H3778 who slew H2026 their young H970 men with the sword H2719 in the house H1004 of their sanctuary, H4720 and had no H3808 compassion H2550 on young H970 man or maiden, H1330 old H2205 man, or him that stooped H3486 for age: H3486 he gave H5414 them all H3605 into his hand. H3027

And they burnt H8313 the house H1004 of God, H430 and broke H5422 down H5422 the wall H2346 of Jerusalem, H3389 and burnt H8313 all H3605 the palaces H759 thereof with fire, H784 and destroyed H7843 all H3605 the goodly H4261 vessels H3627 thereof.

To fulfill H4390 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah, H3414 until H5704 the land H776 had enjoyed H7521 her sabbaths: H7676 for as long H3117 as she lay desolate H8074 she kept H7673 sabbath, H7673 to fulfill H4390 three score H7657 and ten years. H8141

Now in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 which H1958 was the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 came H935 Nebuzaradan, H5018 captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 which served H5975 H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 into Jerusalem, H3389

Then Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carried H1540 away captive H1540 certain of the poor H1803 of the people, H5971 and the residue H3499 of the people H5971 that remained H7604 in the city, H5892 and those that fell H5307 away, that fell H5307 to the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and the rest H3499 of the multitude. H527

And in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 on the seventh H7651 day of the month, H2320 which H1958 is the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 came H935 Nebuzaradan, H5018 captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 a servant H5650 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 to Jerusalem: H3389

Speak H559 to all H3605 the people H5971 of the land, H776 and to the priests, H3548 saying, H559 When H3588 you fasted H6684 and mourned H5594 in the fifth H2549 and seventh H7637 month, even those H2088 seventy H7657 years, H8141 did you at all fast H6684 to me, even to me?

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 The fast H6685 of the fourth H7243 month, and the fast H6685 of the fifth, H2549 and the fast H6685 of the seventh, H7637 and the fast H6685 of the tenth, H6224 shall be to the house H1004 of Judah H3063 joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 and cheerful H2896 feasts; H4150 therefore love H157 the truth H571 and peace. H7965
