And now therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 concerning this city, H5892 whereof ye say, H559 (QalActPtc) It shall be delivered H5414 (NiphPerf) into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 by the sword, H2719 and by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence; H1698

‘And now, therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye are saying, It hath been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence,

For Yahweh says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Like as I have brought H935 (HiphPerf) all this great H1419 evil H7451 upon this people, H5971 so will I bring H935 (HiphPtc) upon them all the good H2896 that I have promised H1696 (QalActPtc) them.

‘For thus said Jehovah: As I brought in unto this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;

As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’ ”

As the host H6635 of heaven H8064 cannot be numbered, H5608 (NiphImpf) neither the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 measured: H4058 (NiphImpf) so will I multiply H7235 (HiphImpf) the seed H2233 of David H1732 my servant, H5650 and the Levites H3881 that minister H8334 (PielPtc) unto me.

As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.’

You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says Yahweh.”

[But] thou shalt die H4191 (QalImpf) in peace: H7965 and with the burnings H4955 of thy fathers, H1 the former H7223 kings H4428 which were before H6440 thee, so shall they burn H8313 (QalImpf) [odours] for thee; and they will lament H5594 (QalImpf) thee, [saying], Ah H1945 lord! H113 for I have pronounced H1696 (PielPerf) the word, H1697 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068

in peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who have been before thee, so they make a burning for thee; and Ah, lord, they lament for thee, for the word I have spoken-an affirmation of Jehovah.’

but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

But afterward H310 they turned, H7725 (QalImpf) and caused the servants H5650 and the handmaids, H8198 whom they had let go H7971 (PielPerf) free, H2670 to return, H7725 (HiphImpf) and brought them into subjection H3533 (QalImpf) (Qere) H3533 (HiphImpf) for servants H5650 and for handmaids. H8198

and they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and the maid-servants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for men-servants and for maid-servants.

Therefore Yahweh says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says Yahweh, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Ye have not hearkened H8085 (QalPerf) unto me, in proclaiming H7121 (QalInf) liberty, H1865 every one H376 to his brother, H251 and every man H376 to his neighbour: H7453 behold, I proclaim H7121 (QalActPtc) a liberty H1865 for you, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H3068 to the sword, H2719 to the pestilence, H1698 and to the famine; H7458 and I will make H5414 (QalPerf) you to be removed H2189 (Qere) H2113 into all the kingdoms H4467 of the earth. H776

‘Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his neighbour; lo, I am proclaiming to you liberty-an affirmation of Jehovah-unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth.

“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’ ”

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 God H430 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) upon Judah H3063 and upon all the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Jerusalem H3389 all the evil H7451 that I have pronounced H1696 (PielPerf) against them: because I have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) unto them, but they have not heard; H8085 (QalPerf) and I have called H7121 (QalImpf) unto them, but they have not answered. H6030 (QalPerf)

therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened, yea, I call to them, and they have not answered.’

therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’ ”

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 shall not want H3772 (NiphImpf) a man H376 to stand H5975 (QalActPtc) before H6440 me for ever. H3117

therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all the days.’

Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah; H3063 He shall have none to sit H3427 (QalActPtc) upon the throne H3678 of David: H1732 and his dead body H5038 shall be cast out H7993 (HophPtc) in the day H3117 to the heat, H2721 and in the night H3915 to the frost. H7140

‘Therefore, thus said Jehovah, concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He hath none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcase is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night;

Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”

Therefore the princes H8269 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the king, H4428 We beseech thee, let this man H376 be put to death: H4191 (HophImpf) for thus H3651 he weakeneth H7503 (PielPtc) the hands H3027 of the men H582 of war H4421 that remain H7604 (NiphPtc) in this city, H5892 and the hands H3027 of all the people, H5971 in speaking H1696 (PielInf) such words H1697 unto them: for this man H376 seeketh H1875 (QalActPtc) not the welfare H7965 of this people, H5971 but the hurt. H7451

And the heads say unto the king, ‘Let, we pray thee, this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war, who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its evil.’

Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so.

And Ebedmelech H5663 the Ethiopian H3569 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Jeremiah, H3414 Put H7760 (QalImpv) now [these] old H1094 cast clouts H5499 and rotten rags H4418 under thine armholes H679 H3027 under the cords. H2256 And Jeremiah H3414 did H6213 (QalImpf) so.

And Ebed-Melech the Cushite saith unto Jeremiah, ‘Put, I pray thee, the worn-out clouts and rags under thine arm-holes, at the place of the cords,’ and Jeremiah doth so,

now therefore hear Yahweh’s word, O remnant of Judah! Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,

And now therefore hear H8085 (QalImpv) the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 ye remnant H7611 of Judah; H3063 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 If ye wholly H7760 (QalInf) set H7760 (QalImpf) your faces H6440 to enter H935 (QalInf) into Egypt, H4714 and go H935 (QalPerf) to sojourn H1481 (QalInf) there;

And now, therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: If ye really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to sojourn there,

For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’

For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 As mine anger H639 and my fury H2534 hath been poured forth H5413 (NiphPerf) upon the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Jerusalem; H3389 so shall my fury H2534 be poured forth H5413 (QalImpf) upon you, when ye shall enter H935 (QalInf) into Egypt: H4714 and ye shall be an execration, H423 and an astonishment, H8047 and a curse, H7045 and a reproach; H2781 and ye shall see H7200 (QalImpf) this place H4725 no more.

for thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured out hath been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering Egypt, and ye have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and ye do not see any more this place.

For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to Yahweh your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to Yahweh our God; and according to all that Yahweh our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’

For ye dissembled H8582 (HiphPerf) in your hearts, H5315 when ye sent H7971 (QalPerf) me unto the Lord H3068 your God, H430 saying, H559 (QalInf) Pray H6419 (HithImpv) for us unto the Lord H3068 our God; H430 and according unto all that the Lord H3068 our God H430 shall say, H559 (QalImpf) so declare H5046 (HiphImpv) unto us, and we will do H6213 (QalPerf) [it].

for ye have shewed yourselves perverse in your souls, for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God saith, so declare to us, and we have done it;

“Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.

Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Behold, I will set H7760 (QalActPtc) my face H6440 against you for evil, H7451 and to cut off H3772 (HiphInf) all Judah. H3063

‘Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am setting my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah,
