24-JEREMIAH
24-1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of
Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of
Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth
month.
24-1:12 Then
said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to
perform it.
24-2:19 Thine
own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee:
know therefore and see that it is an evil thing
and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of
hosts.
24-2:34 Also
in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not
found it by secret search, but upon all these.
24-3:5 Will
he reserve his anger for ever? will
he keep it
to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
24-3:7 And
I said after she had done all these things,
Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah
saw it.
24-3:9 And
it came to pass through the lightness of her
whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and
with stocks.
24-3:16 And
it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and
increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more,
The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it
come to mind: neither shall they remember it;
neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
24-3:17 At
that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations
shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the
LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of
their evil heart.
24-4:4 Circumcise
yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah
and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that
none can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
24-4:9 And
it shall come to pass at that day, saith the
LORD, that the heart of the king
shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be
astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
24-4:11 At
that time shall it be said to this people and to
Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter
of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
24-4:18 Thy
way and thy doings have procured these things
unto thee; this is thy
wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
24-4:23 I
beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and
they had no light.
24-4:28 For
this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have
spoken it,
I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back
from it.
24-5:1 Run
ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek
in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that
seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
24-5:12 They
have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us;
neither shall we see sword nor famine:
24-5:13 And
the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be
done unto them.
24-5:14 Wherefore
thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will
make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
24-5:15 Lo,
I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a
mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither
understandest what they say.
24-5:19 And
it shall come to pass, when ye shall say,
Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things
unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and
served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
24-5:20 Declare
this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in
Judah, saying,
24-5:22 Fear
ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have
placed the sand for the bound of the sea
by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet
can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
24-5:31 The
prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my
people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
24-6:10 To
whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot
hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no
delight in it.
24-6:11 Therefore
I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly
of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the
aged with him that is full of days.
24-6:19 Hear,
O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened
unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
24-7:11 Is
this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?
Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
24-7:12 But
go ye now unto my place which was in
Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
24-7:20 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out
upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and
upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn,
and shall not be quenched.
24-7:23 But
this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and
ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
that it may be well unto you.
24-7:29 Cut
off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast
it away,
and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and
forsaken the generation of his wrath.
24-7:30 For
the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set
their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
24-7:31 And
they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire; which I commanded them
not, neither came it into my heart.
24-7:32 Therefore,
behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it
shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the
valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
24-8:8 How
do ye say, We are wise, and the law
of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly
in vain made he it;
the pen of the scribes is in
vain.
24-8:16 The
snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound
of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the
land, and all that is in it; the city, and those
that dwell therein.
24-9:8 Their
tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in
heart he layeth his wait.
24-9:12 Who
is the wise man, that may understand
this? and who is he to whom the mouth
of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it,
for what the land perisheth and is
burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
24-10:4 They
deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
24-10:5 They
are upright as the palm tree, but speak
not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them;
for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
24-10:7 Who
would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their
kingdoms, there is none like unto
thee.
24-10:18 For
thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at
this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
24-10:19 Woe
is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
24-10:23 O
LORD, I know that the way of man is not
in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24-11:5 That
I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a
land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
24-11:16 The
LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath
kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
24-11:18 And
the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
24-12:8 Mine
heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth
out against me: therefore have I hated it.
24-12:11 They
have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto
me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
24-12:15 And
it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked
them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again,
every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
24-12:16 And
it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn
the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my
people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
24-13:1 Thus
saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it
not in water.
24-13:2 So
I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
24-13:4 Take
the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon
thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it
there in a hole of the rock.
24-13:5 So
I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD
commanded me.
24-13:6 And
it came to pass after many days, that the LORD
said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I
commanded thee to hide there.
24-13:7 Then
I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had
hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
24-13:16 Give
glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet
stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
24-13:17 But
if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in
secret places for your pride; and
mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord’s flock is
carried away captive.
24-13:19 The
cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly
carried away captive.
24-13:27 I
have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in
the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once
be?
24-14:5 Yea,
the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
24-14:7 O
LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our
backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
24-15:2 And
it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee,
Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such
as are for death, to death; and such
as are for the sword, to the sword;
and such as are for the famine, to
the famine; and such as are for the
captivity, to the captivity.
24-15:8 Their
widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them
against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
24-15:9 She
that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone
down while it
was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them
will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
24-15:11 The
LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy
remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
24-16:10 And
it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this
people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced
all this great evil against us? or what is
our iniquity? or what is our sin
that we have committed against the LORD our God?
24-16:14 Therefore,
behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it
shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt;
24-17:1 The
sin of Judah is written with a pen of
iron, and with the point of a
diamond: it
is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
24-17:9 The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it?
24-17:15 Behold,
they say unto me, Where is the word
of the LORD? let it come now.
24-17:21 Thus
saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day,
nor bring it
in by the gates of Jerusalem;
24-17:24 And
it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken
unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city
on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
24-17:27 But
if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a
burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then
will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it
shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it
shall not be quenched.
24-18:4 And
the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he
made it again another vessel, as seemed good to
the potter to make it.
24-18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning
a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to
destroy it;
24-18:9 And
at what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
24-18:10 If
it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good,
wherewith I said I would benefit them.
24-19:4 Because
they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense
in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor
their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place
with the blood of innocents;
24-19:5 They
have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I
commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
24-19:15 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city
and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they
might not hear my words.
24-20:3 And
it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur
brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD
hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
24-20:4 For
thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all
thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes
shall behold it:
and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
24-20:10 For
I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All
my familiars watched for my halting, saying,
Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we
shall take our revenge on him.
24-21:10 For
I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the
LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
24-21:12 O
house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and
deliver him that is spoiled out of
the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none
can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
24-21:14 But
I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I
will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it
shall devour all things round about it.
24-22:14 That
saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out
windows; and it
is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
24-22:15 Shalt
thou reign, because thou closest thyself in
cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
24-22:16 He
judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
24-22:17 But
thine eyes and thine heart are not
but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression,
and for violence, to do it.
24-23:18 For
who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his
word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
24-23:19 Behold,
a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
24-23:20 The
anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have
performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
24-25:12 And
it shall come to pass, when seventy years are
accomplished, that I will punish the
king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the
land of the Chaldeans, and will make it
perpetual desolations.
24-25:13 And
I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all
that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the
nations.
24-25:15 For
thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my
hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
24-25:18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of
Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a
desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
24-25:28 And
it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at
thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
24-26:8 Now
it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end
of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him
to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the
people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
24-26:21 And
when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard
his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
24-27:5 I
have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm,
and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
24-27:8 And
it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the
yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with
the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed
them by his hand.
24-27:11 But
the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and
serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and
they shall till it, and dwell therein.
24-28:1 And
it came to pass the same year, in the beginning
of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the
prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake
unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the
people, saying,
24-28:10 Then
Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and
brake it.
24-29:7 And
seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away
captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in
the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
24-30:3 For,
lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my
people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the
land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
24-30:7 Alas!
for that day is great, so that none is like it:
it is even
the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
24-30:8 For
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
LORD of hosts, that I will break his
yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more
serve themselves of him:
24-30:23 Behold,
the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24-30:24 The
fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and
until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall
consider it.
24-31:10 Hear
the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say,
He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
24-31:28 And
it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break
down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over
them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
24-31:33 But
this shall be the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will
put my law in their inward parts, and write it
in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
24-31:39 And
the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it
upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
24-31:40 And
the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto
the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more
for ever.
24-32:3 For
Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy,
and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
24-32:7 Behold,
Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee
my field that is in Anathoth: for the
right of redemption is thine to buy it.
24-32:8 So
Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the
word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the
right of inheritance is thine, and
the redemption is thine; buy it for
thyself. Then I knew that this was the
word of the LORD.
24-32:10 And
I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
24-32:23 And
they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed
not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that
thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come
upon them:
24-32:24 Behold
the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it;
and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of
the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou
seest it.
24-32:28 Therefore
thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the
Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall
take it:
24-32:29 And
the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this
city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose
roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto
other gods, to provoke me to anger.
24-32:31 For
this city hath been to me as a
provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
24-32:34 But
they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile
it.
24-32:35 And
they built the high places of Baal, which are
in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters
to pass through the fire unto Molech;
which I commanded them not, neither came it into
my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
24-32:36 And
now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city,
whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand
of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
24-32:43 And
fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast;
it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
24-33:2 Thus
saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it,
to establish it; the LORD is his name;
24-33:5 They
come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men,
whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I
have hid my face from this city.
24-33:6 Behold,
I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure
them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
24-33:9 And
it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an
honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that
I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for
all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
24-34:2 Thus
saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and
tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with
fire:
24-34:22 Behold,
I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they
shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with
fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
24-35:11 But
it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear
of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we
dwell at Jerusalem.
24-36:1 And
it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this
word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
24-36:3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the
evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his
evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
24-36:7 It may be they will present their supplication before
the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD
hath pronounced against this people.
24-36:9 And
it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in
Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto
Jerusalem.
24-36:15 And
they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in
our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
24-36:16 Now
it came to pass, when they had heard all the
words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will
surely tell the king of all these words.
24-36:21 So
the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it
out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it
in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside
the king.
24-36:23 And
it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll
was consumed in the fire that was on
the hearth.
24-36:28 Take
thee again another roll, and write in it all the
former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah
hath burned.
24-36:32 Then
took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to
Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of
Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in
the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
24-37:8 And
the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with
fire.
24-37:11 And
it came to pass, that when the army of the
Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
24-37:14 Then
said Jeremiah, It
is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so
Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
24-38:3 Thus
saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of
Babylon’s army, which shall take it.
24-38:15 Then
Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to
death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
24-38:18 But
if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this
city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their
hand.
24-38:20 But
Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee.
Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
24-38:25 But
if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and
say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death;
also what the king said unto thee:
24-39:1 In
the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they
besieged it.
24-39:4 And
it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war,
then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the
king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of
the plain.
24-40:3 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.
24-40:4 And
now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem
good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto
thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with
me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth
good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
24-40:5 Now
while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go
back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of
Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among
the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth
convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a
reward, and let him go.
24-40:9 And
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men,
saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king
of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
24-40:15 Then
Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me
go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall
know it: wherefore
should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be
scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
24-41:1 Now
it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the
son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men
with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did
eat bread together in Mizpah.
24-41:4 And
it came to pass the second day after he had
slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
24-41:6 And
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all
along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met
them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
24-41:7 And
it was so,
when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into
the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were
with him.
24-41:9 Now
the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain
because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king
of Israel: and Ishmael the son of
Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
24-41:13 Now
it came to pass, that when all the people which were
with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces that were with him, then they
were glad.
24-42:4 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.
24-42:6 Whether
it be good,
or whether it
be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee;
that it may be well with us, when we obey the
voice of the LORD our God.
24-42:7
