Jeremiah 52 (WEBP)

[1] Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
[2] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
[3] For through Yahweh’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
[4] In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
[5] So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
[6] In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
[7] Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. Now the Chaldeans were against the city all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,
[8] but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
[9] Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
[10] The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
[11] He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
[12] Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
[13] He burned Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.
[14] All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
[15] Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
[16] But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
[17] The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.
[18] They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
[19] The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as silver.
[20] They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
[21] As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.
[22] A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.
[23] There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
[24] The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
[25] and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.
[26] Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
[27] The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
[28] This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive:
[29] in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
[30] in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people.
[31] In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.
[32] He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
[33] and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
[34] For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Young’s Literal Translation

Jeremiah 52 (YLT)

[1] A son of twenty and one years is Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
[2] and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim hath done,
[3] for, because of the anger of Jehovah, it hath been in Jerusalem and Judah till He hath cast them from before His face, and Zedekiah doth rebel against the king of Babylon.
[4] And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon-he and all his force-against Jerusalem, and they encamp against it, and build against it a fortification round about;
[5] and the city cometh into siege till the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
[6] In the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, and there hath been no bread for the people of the land,
[7] then is the city broken up, and all the men of war flee, and go forth from the city by night, the way of the gate between the two walls, that is by the king’s garden-and the Chaldeans are by the city round about-and they go the way of the plain.
[8] And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his forces have been scattered from him,
[9] and they capture the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him-judgments.
[10] And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also all the princes of Judah hath he slaughtered in Riblah;
[11] and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him in brazen fetters, and the king of Babylon bringeth him to Babylon, and putteth him in the house of inspection unto the day of his death.
[12] And in the fifth month, in the tenth of the month-it is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon-come hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners; he hath stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem,
[13] and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house he hath burned with fire,
[14] and all the walls of Jerusalem round about broken down have all the forces of the Chaldeans that are with the chief of the executioners.
[15] And of the poor of the people, and the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those who are falling away, who have fallen unto the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the executioners, removed;
[16] and of the poor of the land hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
[17] And the pillars of brass that are to the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brasen sea that is in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken, and they bear away all the brass of them to Babylon;
[18] and the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they minister, they have taken away;
[19] and the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups, the gold of that which is gold, and the silver of that which is silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken.
[20] The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that are beneath the bases, that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these vessels.
[21] As to the pillars, eighteen cubits is the height of the one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits doth compass it, and its thickness is four fingers hollow.
[22] And the chapiter upon it is of brass, and the height of the one chapiter is five cubits, and net-work and pomegranates are on the chapiter round about, the whole is of brass; and like these have the second pillar, and pomegranates.
[23] And the pomegranates are ninety and six on a side, all the pomegranates are a hundred on the net-work round about.
[24] And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
[25] and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch, who hath been inspector over the men of war, and seven men of those seeing the king’s face, who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land, who are found in the midst of the city;
[26] and Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, taketh them, and bringeth them unto the king of Babylon to Riblah,
[27] and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its own ground.
[28] This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar hath removed: in the seventh year, of Jews, three thousand and twenty and three;
[29] in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar-from Jerusalem, souls, eight hundred thirty and two;
[30] in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the guard removed of Jewish souls, seven hundred forty and five; all the souls are four thousand and six hundred.
[31] And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and fifth of the month, hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reign, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and bringeth him out from the house of restraint,
[32] and speaketh with him good things, and setteth his throne above the throne of the kings who are with him in Babylon,
[33] and he hath changed his prison garments, and he hath eaten bread before him continually, all the days of his life.
[34] And his allowance-a continual allowance-hath been given to him by the king of Babylon, the matter of a day in its day, till the day of his death-all days of his life.
