1 # In the ninth <08671> year <08141> of Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, in the tenth <06224> month <02320>, came <0935> (8804) Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> and all his army <02428> against Jerusalem <03389>, and they besieged <06696> (8799) it.
2 And in the eleventh <06249> <06240> year <08141> of Zedekiah <06667>, in the fourth <07243> month <02320>, the ninth <08672> day of the month <02320>, the city <05892> was broken up <01234> (8717).
3 And all the princes <08269> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came in <0935> (8799), and sat <03427> (8799) in the middle <08432> gate <08179>, even Nergalsharezer <05371>, Samgarnebo <05562>, Sarsechim <08310>, Rabsaris <07249>, Nergalsharezer <05371>, Rabmag <07248>, with all the residue <07611> of the princes <08269> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>.
4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah <06667> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> saw <07200> (8804) them, and all the men <0582> of war <04421>, then they fled <01272> (8799), and went forth <03318> (8799) out of the city <05892> by night <03915>, by the way <01870> of the king's <04428> garden <01588>, by the gate <08179> betwixt the two walls <02346>: and he went out <03318> (8799) the way <01870> of the plain <06160>.
5 But the Chaldeans <03778>' army <02428> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310> them, and overtook <05381> (8686) Zedekiah <06667> in the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>: and when they had taken <03947> (8799) him, they brought him up <05927> (8686) to Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <02574>, where he gave <01696> (8762) judgment <04941> upon him.
6 Then the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> slew <07819> (8799) the sons <01121> of Zedekiah <06667> in Riblah <07247> before his eyes <05869>: also the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> slew <07819> (8804) all the nobles <02715> of Judah <03063>.
7 Moreover he put out <05786> (8765) Zedekiah's <06667> eyes <05869>, and bound <0631> (8799) him with chains <05178>, to carry <0935> (8687) him to Babylon <0894>.
8 And the Chaldeans <03778> burned <08313> (8804) the king's <04428> house <01004>, and the houses <01004> of the people <05971>, with fire <0784>, and brake down <05422> (8804) the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389>.
9 Then Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carried away captive <01540> (8689) into Babylon <0894> the remnant <03499> of the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737) in the city <05892>, and those that fell away <05307> (8802), that fell <05307> (8804) to him, with the rest <03499> of the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737).
10 But Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> left <07604> (8689) of the poor <01800> of the people <05971>, which had nothing <03972>, in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>, and gave <05414> (8799) them vineyards <03754> and fields <03010> at the same time <03117>.
11 # Now Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> gave charge <06680> (8762) concerning Jeremiah <03414> to <03027> Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, saying <0559> (8800),
12 Take <03947> (8798) him, and look well <05869> <07760> (8798) to him, and do <06213> (8799) him no harm <03972> <07451>; but do <06213> (8798) unto him even as he shall say <01696> (8762) unto thee.
13 So Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> sent <07971> (8799), and Nebushasban <05021> , Rabsaris <07249>, and Nergalsharezer <05371>, Rabmag <07248>, and all the king <04428> of Babylon's <0894> princes <07227> ;
14 Even they sent <07971> (8799), and took <03947> (8799) Jeremiah <03414> out of the court <02691> of the prison <04307>, and committed <05414> (8799) him unto Gedaliah <01436> the son <01121> of Ahikam <0296> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, that he should carry <03318> (8687) him home <01004>: so he dwelt <03427> (8799) among <08432> the people <05971>.
15 Now the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto Jeremiah <03414>, while he was shut up <06113> (8803) in the court <02691> of the prison <04307>, saying <0559> (8800),
16 Go <01980> (8800) and speak <0559> (8804) to Ebedmelech <05663> the Ethiopian <03569>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478> ; Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) my words <01697> upon this city <05892> for evil <07451>, and not for good <02896>; and they shall be accomplished in that day <03117> before <06440> thee.
17 But I will deliver <05337> (8689) thee in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> : and thou shalt not be given <05414> (8735) into the hand <03027> of the men <0582> of whom <06440> thou art afraid <03016> (8801).
18 For I will surely <04422> (8763) deliver <04422> (8762) thee, and thou shalt not fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>, but thy life <05315> shall be for a prey <07998> unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust <0982> (8804) in me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
