Jeremiah

Chapter 27

1 IN the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2 Thus says the LORD to me: Make yourself yokes and bands, and put them on your neck,

3 And send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Zidon by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:

5 I have made the earth and the men and the beasts that are upon the ground by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my sight.

6 And now I have given all these lands to serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him.

7 And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come; many nations and great kings shall serve him.

8 And the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and that will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword and with famine, and with pestilence, says the LORD, until I have delivered them into his hand.

9 Therefore do not listen to your false prophets nor to your diviners nor to your dreamers nor to your enchanters nor to your magicians, who say to you, You shall not serve the king of Babylon;

10 For it is a lie which they are prophesying to you, that I may drive you out from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

11 But the nation that brings its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave on its own land, says the LORD; and they shall till it and dwell in it.

12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people and live;

13 So that you may not die, you and your people, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, according to that which the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon.

14 Therefore do not listen to the words of the false prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

15 For I have not sent them, says the LORD; yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

16 I spoke also to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD: Do not hearken to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying. Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

17 Do not listen to them, says the LORD, but serve the king of Babylon and live, that this city might not become a desolation.

18 But if they are prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, then let them beseech the LORD of hosts that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem be not taken to Babylon.

19 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the pillars and concerning the sea and concerning the bases and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon and all the princes of Judah and Jerusalem;

21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem:

22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they remain until the day when I visit them, says the LORD; then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.

Jeremiah

Chapter 27

1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 to Jeremiah3414 from the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me; Make6213 you bonds4147 and yokes,4133 and put5414 them on your neck,6677

3 And send7971 them to the king4428 of Edom,123 and to the king4428 of Moab,4124 and to the king4428 of the Ammonites,5984 and to the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and to the king4428 of Zidon,6721 by the hand3027 of the messengers4397 which come935 to Jerusalem3389 to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063

4 And command6680 them to say559 to their masters,113 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall you say559 to your masters;113

5 I have made6213 the earth,776 the man120 and the beast929 that are on the ground,776 by my great1419 power3581 and by my outstretched5186 arm,2220 and have given5414 it to whom834 it seemed5869 meet3474 to me.

6 And now6258 have I given5414 all3605 these428 lands776 into413 the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant;5650 and the beasts2416 of the field7704 have I given5414 him also1571 to serve5647 him.

7 And all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him, and his son,1121 and his son's1121 son,1121 until5704 the very time6256 of his land776 come:935 and then many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves of him.

8 And it shall come1961 to pass, that the nation1471 and kingdom4467 which834 will not serve5647 the same Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that will not put5414 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 that nation1471 will I punish,6485 said5002 the LORD,3068 with the sword,2719 and with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 until5704 I have consumed8552 them by his hand.3027

9 Therefore listen8085 not you to your prophets,5030 nor to your diviners,7080 nor to your dreamers,2492 nor to your enchanters,6049 nor to your sorcerers,3786 which834 speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894

10 For they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you, to remove7368 you far7368 from your land;127 and that I should drive5080 you out, and you should perish.6

11 But the nations1471 that bring935 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him, those will I let remain5117 still in their own land,127 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall till5647 it, and dwell3427 therein.

12 I spoke1696 also to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 according to all3605 these428 words,1697 saying,559 Bring935 your necks6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him and his people,5971 and live.2421

13 Why4100 will you die,4191 you and your people,5971 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 as the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against413 the nation1471 that will not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon?894

14 Therefore listen8085 not to the words1697 of the prophets5030 that speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

15 For I have not sent7971 them, said5002 the LORD,3068 yet they prophesy5012 a lie8267 in my name;8034 that I might drive5080 you out, and that you might perish,6 you, and the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you.

16 Also I spoke1696 to the priests3548 and to all3605 this2088 people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Listen8085 not to the words1697 of your prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you, saying,559 Behold,2009 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall now6258 shortly4120 be brought7725 again7725 from Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

17 Listen8085 not to them; serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and live:2421 why4100 should this2063 city5892 be laid waste?2723

18 But if518 they be prophets,5030 and if518 the word1697 of the LORD3068 be with them, let them now4994 make intercession6293 to the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that the vessels3627 which are left3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and at Jerusalem,3389 go935 not to Babylon.894

19 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning5921 the pillars,5982 and concerning5921 the sea,3220 and concerning5921 the bases,4369 and concerning5921 the residue3499 of the vessels3627 that remain3498 in this2063 city.5892

20 Which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 not, when he carried1546 away captive1540 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 from Jerusalem3389 to Babylon,894 and all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem;3389

21 Yes,3588 thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the vessels3627 that remain3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah3063 and of Jerusalem;3389

22 They shall be carried935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall they be until5704 the day3117 that I visit6485 them, said5002 the LORD;3068 then will I bring5927 them up, and restore7725 them to this2008 place.4725

Chapter 27

1 IN the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

1 In the beginning7225 of the reign4467 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063 came1961 this2088 word1697 to Jeremiah3414 from the LORD,3068 saying,559

2 Thus says the LORD to me: Make yourself yokes and bands, and put them on your neck,

2 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 to me; Make6213 you bonds4147 and yokes,4133 and put5414 them on your neck,6677

3 And send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Zidon by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

3 And send7971 them to the king4428 of Edom,123 and to the king4428 of Moab,4124 and to the king4428 of the Ammonites,5984 and to the king4428 of Tyrus,6865 and to the king4428 of Zidon,6721 by the hand3027 of the messengers4397 which come935 to Jerusalem3389 to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah;3063

4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:

4 And command6680 them to say559 to their masters,113 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Thus3541 shall you say559 to your masters;113

5 I have made the earth and the men and the beasts that are upon the ground by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my sight.

5 I have made6213 the earth,776 the man120 and the beast929 that are on the ground,776 by my great1419 power3581 and by my outstretched5186 arm,2220 and have given5414 it to whom834 it seemed5869 meet3474 to me.

6 And now I have given all these lands to serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him.

6 And now6258 have I given5414 all3605 these428 lands776 into413 the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 my servant;5650 and the beasts2416 of the field7704 have I given5414 him also1571 to serve5647 him.

7 And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come; many nations and great kings shall serve him.

7 And all3605 nations1471 shall serve5647 him, and his son,1121 and his son's1121 son,1121 until5704 the very time6256 of his land776 come:935 and then many7227 nations1471 and great1419 kings4428 shall serve5647 themselves of him.

8 And the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon and that will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword and with famine, and with pestilence, says the LORD, until I have delivered them into his hand.

8 And it shall come1961 to pass, that the nation1471 and kingdom4467 which834 will not serve5647 the same Nebuchadnezzar5019 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and that will not put5414 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 that nation1471 will I punish,6485 said5002 the LORD,3068 with the sword,2719 and with the famine,7458 and with the pestilence,1698 until5704 I have consumed8552 them by his hand.3027

9 Therefore do not listen to your false prophets nor to your diviners nor to your dreamers nor to your enchanters nor to your magicians, who say to you, You shall not serve the king of Babylon;

9 Therefore listen8085 not you to your prophets,5030 nor to your diviners,7080 nor to your dreamers,2492 nor to your enchanters,6049 nor to your sorcerers,3786 which834 speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894

10 For it is a lie which they are prophesying to you, that I may drive you out from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

10 For they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you, to remove7368 you far7368 from your land;127 and that I should drive5080 you out, and you should perish.6

11 But the nation that brings its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave on its own land, says the LORD; and they shall till it and dwell in it.

11 But the nations1471 that bring935 their neck6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him, those will I let remain5117 still in their own land,127 said5002 the LORD;3068 and they shall till5647 it, and dwell3427 therein.

12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people and live;

12 I spoke1696 also to Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah3063 according to all3605 these428 words,1697 saying,559 Bring935 your necks6677 under the yoke5923 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and serve5647 him and his people,5971 and live.2421

13 So that you may not die, you and your people, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, according to that which the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon.

13 Why4100 will you die,4191 you and your people,5971 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 as the LORD3068 has spoken1696 against413 the nation1471 that will not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon?894

14 Therefore do not listen to the words of the false prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

14 Therefore listen8085 not to the words1697 of the prophets5030 that speak559 to you, saying,559 You shall not serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

15 For I have not sent them, says the LORD; yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

15 For I have not sent7971 them, said5002 the LORD,3068 yet they prophesy5012 a lie8267 in my name;8034 that I might drive5080 you out, and that you might perish,6 you, and the prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you.

16 I spoke also to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says the LORD: Do not hearken to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying. Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

16 Also I spoke1696 to the priests3548 and to all3605 this2088 people,5971 saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD;3068 Listen8085 not to the words1697 of your prophets5030 that prophesy5012 to you, saying,559 Behold,2009 the vessels3627 of the LORD's3068 house1004 shall now6258 shortly4120 be brought7725 again7725 from Babylon:894 for they prophesy5012 a lie8267 to you.

17 Do not listen to them, says the LORD, but serve the king of Babylon and live, that this city might not become a desolation.

17 Listen8085 not to them; serve5647 the king4428 of Babylon,894 and live:2421 why4100 should this2063 city5892 be laid waste?2723

18 But if they are prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, then let them beseech the LORD of hosts that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem be not taken to Babylon.

18 But if518 they be prophets,5030 and if518 the word1697 of the LORD3068 be with them, let them now4994 make intercession6293 to the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that the vessels3627 which are left3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and at Jerusalem,3389 go935 not to Babylon.894

19 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the pillars and concerning the sea and concerning the bases and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

19 For thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 concerning5921 the pillars,5982 and concerning5921 the sea,3220 and concerning5921 the bases,4369 and concerning5921 the residue3499 of the vessels3627 that remain3498 in this2063 city.5892

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon and all the princes of Judah and Jerusalem;

20 Which834 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 not, when he carried1546 away captive1540 Jeconiah3204 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 from Jerusalem3389 to Babylon,894 and all3605 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 and Jerusalem;3389

21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem:

21 Yes,3588 thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel,3478 concerning5921 the vessels3627 that remain3498 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah3063 and of Jerusalem;3389

22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they remain until the day when I visit them, says the LORD; then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.

22 They shall be carried935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 shall they be until5704 the day3117 that I visit6485 them, said5002 the LORD;3068 then will I bring5927 them up, and restore7725 them to this2008 place.4725
