1 # The word <01697> that came to Jeremiah <03414> from the LORD <03068> in the tenth <06224> year <08141> of Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, which was the eighteenth <08083> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019>.
2 For then the king <04428> of Babylon's <0894> army <02428> besieged <06696> (8802) Jerusalem <03389> : and Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> was shut up <03607> (8803) in the court <02691> of the prison <04307>, which was in the king <04428> of Judah's <03063> house <01004>.
3 For Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063> had shut him up <03607> (8804), saying <0559> (8800), Wherefore dost thou prophesy <05012> (8737), and say <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I will give <05414> (8802) this city <05892> into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> , and he shall take <03920> (8804) it;
4 And Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063> shall not escape <04422> (8735) out of the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>, but shall surely <05414> (8736) be delivered <05414> (8735) into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and shall speak <01696> (8765) with him mouth <06310> to mouth <06310>, and his eyes <05869> shall behold <07200> (8799) his eyes <05869>;
5 And he shall lead <03212> (8686) Zedekiah <06667> to Babylon <0894>, and there shall he be until I visit <06485> (8800) him, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>: though ye fight <03898> (8735) with the Chaldeans <03778>, ye shall not prosper <06743> (8686).
6 And Jeremiah <03414> said <0559> (8799), The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto me, saying <0559> (8800),
7 Behold, Hanameel <02601> the son <01121> of Shallum <07967> thine uncle <01730> shall come <0935> (8802) unto thee, saying <0559> (8800), Buy <07069> (8798) thee my field <07704> that is in Anathoth <06068>: for the right <04941> of redemption <01353> is thine to buy <07069> (8800) it.
8 So Hanameel <02601> mine uncle's <01730> son <01121> came <0935> (8799) to me in the court <02691> of the prison <04307> according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799) unto me, Buy <07069> (8798) my field <07704>, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth <06068>, which is in the country <0776> of Benjamin <01144>: for the right <04941> of inheritance <03425> is thine, and the redemption <01353> is thine; buy <07069> (8798) it for thyself. Then I knew <03045> (8799) that this was the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
9 And I bought <07069> (8799) the field <07704> of Hanameel <02601> my uncle's <01730> son <01121>, that was in Anathoth <06068>, and weighed <08254> (8799) him the money <03701>, even seventeen <07651> <06235> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>.
10 And I subscribed <03789> (8799) the evidence <05612>, and sealed <02856> (8799) it, and took <05749> (8686) witnesses <05707>, and weighed <08254> (8799) him the money <03701> in the balances <03976>.
11 So I took <03947> (8799) the evidence <05612> of the purchase <04736>, both that which was sealed <02856> (8803) according to the law <04687> and custom <02706>, and that which was open <01540> (8803):
12 And I gave <05414> (8799) the evidence <05612> of the purchase <04736> unto Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374>, the son <01121> of Maaseiah <04271>, in the sight <05869> of Hanameel <02601> mine uncle's <01730> son, and in the presence <05869> of the witnesses <05707> that subscribed <03789> (8802) the book <05612> of the purchase <04736>, before <05869> all the Jews <03064> that sat <03427> (8802) in the court <02691> of the prison <04307>.
13 And I charged <06680> (8762) Baruch <01263> before <05869> them, saying <0559> (8800),
14 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Take <03947> (8800) these evidences <05612>, this evidence <05612> of the purchase <04736>, both which is sealed <02856> (8803) , and this evidence <05612> which is open <01540> (8803); and put <05414> (8804) them in an earthen <02789> vessel <03627>, that they may continue <05975> (8799) many <07227> days <03117>.
15 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478> ; Houses <01004> and fields <07704> and vineyards <03754> shall be possessed again <07069> (8735) in this land <0776>.
16 # Now when <0310> I had delivered <05414> (8800) the evidence <05612> of the purchase <04736> unto Baruch <01263> the son <01121> of Neriah <05374>, I prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800) ,
17 Ah <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>! behold, thou hast made <06213> (8804) the heaven <08064> and the earth <0776> by thy great <01419> power <03581> and stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <02220>, and there is nothing <01697> too hard <06381> (8735) for thee:
18 Thou shewest <06213> (8802) lovingkindness <02617> unto thousands <0505>, and recompensest <07999> (8764) the iniquity <05771> of the fathers <01> into the bosom <02436> of their children <01121> after <0310> them: the Great <01419> , the Mighty <01368> God <0410>, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, is his name <08034>,
19 Great <01419> in counsel <06098>, and mighty <07227> in work <05950>: for thine eyes <05869> are open <06491> (8803) upon all the ways <01870> of the sons <01121> of men <0120>: to give <05414> (8800) every one <0376> according to his ways <01870>, and according to the fruit <06529> of his doings <04611>:
20 Which hast set <07760> (8804) signs <0226> and wonders <04159> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> , even unto this day <03117>, and in Israel <03478>, and among other men <0120>; and hast made <06213> (8799) thee a name <08034>, as at this day <03117>;
21 And hast brought forth <03318> (8686) thy people <05971> Israel <03478> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> with signs <0226>, and with wonders <04159>, and with a strong <02389> hand <03027>, and with a stretched out <05186> (8803) arm <0248>, and with great <01419> terror <04172>;
22 And hast given <05414> (8799) them this land <0776>, which thou didst swear <07650> (8738) to their fathers <01> to give <05414> (8800) them, a land <0776> flowing <02100> (8802) with milk <02461> and honey <01706> ;
23 And they came in <0935> (8799), and possessed <03423> (8799) it; but they obeyed <08085> (8804) not thy voice <06963>, neither walked <01980> (8804) in thy law <08451>; they have done <06213> (8804) nothing of all that thou commandedst <06680> (8765) them to do <06213> (8800): therefore thou hast caused all this evil <07451> to come <07122> (8686) upon them:
24 Behold the mounts <05550>, they are come <0935> (8804) unto the city <05892> to take <03920> (8800) it; and the city <05892> is given <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>, that fight <03898> (8737) against it, because <06440> of the sword <02719>, and of the famine <07458>, and of the pestilence <01698>: and what thou hast spoken <01696> (8765) is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest <07200> (8802) it.
25 And thou hast said <0559> (8804) unto me, O Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, Buy <07069> (8798) thee the field <07704> for money <03701>, and take <05749> (8685) witnesses <05707>; for the city <05892> is given <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>.
26 # Then came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> unto Jeremiah <03414>, saying <0559> (8800),
27 Behold, I am the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of all flesh <01320>: is there any thing <01697> too hard <06381> (8735) for me?
 - PROVISION - FINANCIAL
28 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, I will give <05414> (8802) this city <05892> into the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>, and into the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and he shall take <03920> (8804) it:
29 And the Chaldeans <03778>, that fight <03898> (8737) against this city <05892>, shall come <0935> (8804) and set <03341> (8689) fire <0784> on this city <05892>, and burn <08313> (8804) it with the houses <01004> , upon whose roofs <01406> they have offered incense <06999> (8765) unto Baal <01168>, and poured out <05258> (8689) drink offerings <05262> unto other <0312> gods <0430>, to provoke me to anger <03707> (8687).
30 For the children <01121> of Israel <03478> and the children <01121> of Judah <03063> have only done <06213> (8802) evil <07451> before <05869> me from their youth <05271>: for the children <01121> of Israel <03478> have only provoked me to anger <03707> (8688) with the work <04639> of their hands <03027>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
31 For this city <05892> hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger <0639> and of my fury <02534> from the day <03117> that they built <01129> (8804) it even unto this day <03117>; that I should remove <05493> (8687) it from before my face <06440> ,
32 Because of all the evil <07451> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> and of the children <01121> of Judah <03063> , which they have done <06213> (8804) to provoke me to anger <03707> (8687), they, their kings <04428>, their princes <08269> , their priests <03548>, and their prophets <05030>, and the men <0376> of Judah <03063>, and the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>.
33 And they have turned <06437> (8799) unto me the back <06203>, and not the face <06440>: though I taught <03925> (8763) them, rising up early <07925> (8687) and teaching <03925> (8763) them, yet they have not hearkened <08085> (8802) to receive <03947> (8800) instruction <04148>.
34 But they set <07760> (8799) their abominations <08251> in the house <01004>, which is called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, to defile <02930> (8763) it.
35 And they built <01129> (8799) the high places <01116> of Baal <01168>, which are in the valley <01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, to cause their sons <01121> and their daughters <01323> to pass <05674> (8687) through the fire unto Molech <04432>; which I commanded <06680> (8765) them not, neither came <05927> (8804) it into my mind <03820> , that they should do <06213> (8800) this abomination <08441>, to cause Judah <03063> to sin <02398> (8687).
36 And now therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, concerning this city <05892>, whereof ye say <0559> (8802), It shall be delivered <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> by the sword <02719>, and by the famine <07458>, and by the pestilence <01698>;
37 Behold, I will gather them out <06908> (8764) of all countries <0776>, whither I have driven <05080> (8689) them in mine anger <0639>, and in my fury <02534>, and in great <01419> wrath <07110>; and I will bring them again <07725> (8689) unto this place <04725>, and I will cause them to dwell <03427> (8689) safely <0983>:
38 And they shall be my people <05971>, and I will be their God <0430>:
39 And I will give <05414> (8804) them one <0259> heart <03820>, and one <0259> way <01870>, that they may fear <03372> (8800) me for ever <03117>, for the good <02896> of them, and of their children <01121> after <0310> them:
40 And I will make <03772> (8804) an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with them, that I will not turn away <07725> (8799) from them <0310>, to do them good <03190> (8687); but I will put <05414> (8799) my fear <03374> in their hearts <03824>, that they shall not depart <05493> (8800) from me.
41 Yea, I will rejoice <07797> (8804) over them to do them good <02895> (8687), and I will plant <05193> (8804) them in this land <0776> assuredly <0571> with my whole heart <03820> and with my whole soul <05315>.
42 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Like as I have brought <0935> (8689) all this great <01419> evil <07451> upon this people <05971>, so will I bring <0935> (8688) upon them all the good <02896> that I have promised <01696> (8802) them.
43 And fields <07704> shall be bought <07069> (8738) in this land <0776>, whereof ye say <0559> (8802) , It is desolate <08077> without man <0120> or beast <0929>; it is given <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>.
44 Men shall buy <07069> (8799) fields <07704> for money <03701>, and subscribe <03789> (8800) evidences <05612>, and seal <02856> (8800) them, and take <05749> (8687) witnesses <05707> in the land <0776> of Benjamin <01144>, and in the places about <05439> Jerusalem <03389>, and in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and in the cities <05892> of the mountains <02022>, and in the cities <05892> of the valley <08219>, and in the cities <05892> of the south <05045>: for I will cause their captivity <07622> to return <07725> (8686), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
