1 # In the beginning <07225> of the reign <04467> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063> came this word <01697> unto Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> to me; Make <06213> (8798) thee bonds <04147> and yokes <04133>, and put <05414> (8804) them upon thy neck <06677>,
3 And send <07971> (8765) them to the king <04428> of Edom <0123>, and to the king <04428> of Moab <04124> , and to the king <04428> of the Ammonites <01121> <05983>, and to the king <04428> of Tyrus <06865>, and to the king <04428> of Zidon <06721>, by the hand <03027> of the messengers <04397> which come <0935> (8802) to Jerusalem <03389> unto Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063>;
4 And command <06680> (8765) them to say <0559> (8800) unto their masters <0113>, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Thus shall ye say <0559> (8799) unto your masters <0113>;
5 I have made <06213> (8804) the earth <0776>, the man <0120> and the beast <0929> that are upon <06440> the ground <0776>, by my great <01419> power <03581> and by my outstretched <05186> (8803) arm <02220>, and have given <05414> (8804) it unto whom it seemed <05869> meet <03474> (8804) unto me.
6 And now have I given <05414> (8804) all these lands <0776> into the hand <03027> of Nebuchadnezzar <05019> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, my servant <05650>; and the beasts <02416> of the field <07704> have I given <05414> (8804) him also to serve <05647> (8800) him.
7 And all nations <01471> shall serve <05647> (8804) him, and his son <01121>, and his son's <01121> son <01121>, until the very time <06256> of his land <0776> come <0935> (8800): and then many <07227> nations <01471> and great <01419> kings <04428> shall serve <05647> (8804) themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation <01471> and kingdom <04467> which will not serve <05647> (8799) the same Nebuchadnezzar <05019> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and that will not put <05414> (8799) their neck <06677> under the yoke <05923> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, that nation <01471> will I punish <06485> (8799), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, with the sword <02719>, and with the famine <07458>, and with the pestilence <01698>, until I have consumed <08552> (8800) them by his hand <03027>.
9 Therefore hearken <08085> (8799) not ye to your prophets <05030>, nor to your diviners <07080> (8802), nor to your dreamers <02472>, nor to your enchanters <06049> (8781), nor to your sorcerers <03786>, which speak <0559> (8802) unto you, saying <0559> (8800), Ye shall not serve <05647> (8799) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>:
10 For they prophesy <05012> (8737) a lie <08267> unto you, to remove you far <07368> (8687) from your land <0127>; and that I should drive you out <05080> (8689), and ye should perish <06> (8804).
11 But the nations <01471> that bring <0935> (8686) their neck <06677> under the yoke <05923> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and serve <05647> (8804) him, those will I let remain still <03240> (8689) in their own land <0127> , saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and they shall till <05647> (8804) it, and dwell <03427> (8804) therein.
12 # I spake <01696> (8765) also to Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063> according to all these words <01697>, saying <0559> (8800), Bring <0935> (8685) your necks <06677> under the yoke <05923> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and serve <05647> (8798) him and his people <05971>, and live <02421> (8798).
13 Why will ye die <04191> (8799), thou and thy people <05971>, by the sword <02719>, by the famine <07458>, and by the pestilence <01698>, as the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) against the nation <01471> that will not serve <05647> (8799) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>?
14 Therefore hearken <08085> (8799) not unto the words <01697> of the prophets <05030> that speak <0559> (8802) unto you, saying <0559> (8800), Ye shall not serve <05647> (8799) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>: for they prophesy <05012> (8737) a lie <08267> unto you.
15 For I have not sent <07971> (8804) them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, yet they prophesy <05012> (8737) a lie <08267> in my name <08034>; that I might drive you out <05080> (8687), and that ye might perish <06> (8804), ye, and the prophets <05030> that prophesy <05012> (8737) unto you.
16 Also I spake <01696> (8765) to the priests <03548> and to all this people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800) , Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Hearken <08085> (8799) not to the words <01697> of your prophets <05030> that prophesy <05012> (8737) unto you, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, the vessels <03627> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> shall now shortly <04120> be brought again <07725> (8716) from Babylon <0894>: for they prophesy <05012> (8737) a lie <08267> unto you.
17 Hearken <08085> (8799) not unto them; serve <05647> (8798) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and live <02421> (8798): wherefore should this city <05892> be laid waste <02723>?
18 But if they be prophets <05030>, and if the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> be <03426> with them, let them now make intercession <06293> (8799) to the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, that the vessels <03627> which are left <03498> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and in the house <01004> of the king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and at Jerusalem <03389>, go <0935> (8804) not to Babylon <0894>.
19 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> concerning the pillars <05982>, and concerning the sea <03220>, and concerning the bases <04350>, and concerning the residue <03499> of the vessels <03627> that remain <03498> (8737) in this city <05892>,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> took <03947> (8804) not, when he carried away captive <01540> (8687) Jeconiah <03204> the son <01121> of Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> from Jerusalem <03389> to Babylon <0894>, and all the nobles <02715> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389>;
21 Yea, thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478> , concerning the vessels <03627> that remain <03498> (8737) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and in the house <01004> of the king <04428> of Judah <03063> and of Jerusalem <03389>;
22 They shall be carried <0935> (8714) to Babylon <0894>, and there shall they be until the day <03117> that I visit <06485> (8800) them, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; then will I bring <05927> (8689) them up, and restore <07725> (8689) them to this place <04725>.
