[1] The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying, [2] “Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.” [3] Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah: [4] ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city. [5] I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation. [6] I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence. [7] Afterward,” says Yahweh, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.” ’ [8] “You shall say to this people, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. [9] He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life. [10] For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.” ’ [11] “Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word: [12] House of David, Yahweh says,
‘Execute justice in the morning,
and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor,
lest my wrath go out like fire,
and burn so that no one can quench it,
because of the evil of your doings.
[13] Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley,
and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh.
‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?”
or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
[14] I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says Yahweh;
‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest,
and it will devour all that is around her.’ ”

[3] Then saidH559(QalImpf) JeremiahH3414 unto them, Thus shall ye sayH559(QalImpf) to Zedekiah:H6667 [4] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel;H3478 Behold, I will turn backH5437(HiphPtc) the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 that [are] in your hands,H3027 wherewith ye fightH3898(NiphPtc) against the kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and [against] the Chaldeans,H3778 which besiegeH6696(QalActPtc) you withoutH2351 the walls,H2346 and I will assembleH622(QalPerf) them into the midstH8432 of this city.H5892 [5] And I myself will fightH3898(NiphPerf) against you with an outstretchedH5186(QalPasPtc) handH3027 and with a strongH2389 arm,H2220 even in anger,H639 and in fury,H2534 and in greatH1419 wrath.H7110 [6] And I will smiteH5221(HiphPerf) the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of this city,H5892 both manH120 and beast:H929 they shall dieH4191(QalImpf) of a greatH1419 pestilence.H1698 [7] And afterward,H310 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 I will deliverH5414(QalImpf) ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and his servants,H5650 and the people,H5971 and such as are leftH7604(NiphPtc) in this cityH5892 from the pestilence,H1698 from the sword,H2719 and from the famine,H7458 into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and into the handH3027 of their enemies,H341(QalActPtc) and into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245(PielPtc) their life:H5315 and he shall smiteH5221(HiphPerf) them with the edgeH6310 of the sword;H2719 he shall not spareH2347(QalImpf) them, neither have pity,H2550(QalImpf) nor have mercy.H7355(PielImpf) [8] And unto this peopleH5971 thou shalt say,H559(QalImpf) Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Behold, I setH5414(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 you the wayH1870 of life,H2416 and the wayH1870 of death.H4194 [9] He that abidethH3427(QalActPtc) in this cityH5892 shall dieH4191(QalImpf) by the sword,H2719 and by the famine,H7458 and by the pestilence:H1698 but he that goeth out,H3318(QalActPtc) and fallethH5307(QalPerf) to the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegeH6696(QalActPtc) you, he shall live,H2421(QalPerf/Qere) and his lifeH5315 shall be unto him for a prey.H7998 [10] For I have setH7760(QalPerf) my faceH6440 against this cityH5892 for evil,H7451 and not for good,H2896 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 it shall be givenH5414(NiphImpf) into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and he shall burnH8313(QalPerf) it with fire.H784 [11] And touching the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 [say], HearH8085(QalImpv) ye the wordH1697 of the Lord;H3068 [12] O houseH1004 of David,H1732 thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 ExecuteH1777(QalImpv) judgmentH4941 in the morning,H1242 and deliverH5337(HiphImpv) [him that is] spoiledH1497(QalPasPtc) out of the handH3027 of the oppressor,H6231(QalActPtc) lest my furyH2534 go outH3318(QalImpf) like fire,H784 and burnH1197(QalPerf) that none can quenchH3518(PielPtc) [it], becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doings.H4611 [13] Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitantH3427(QalActPtc) of the valley,H6010 [and] rockH6697 of the plain,H4334 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord;H3068 which say,H559(QalActPtc) Who shall come downH5181(QalImpf) against us? or who shall enterH935(QalImpf) into our habitations?H4585 [14] But I will punishH6485(QalPerf) you according to the fruitH6529 of your doings,H4611 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 and I will kindleH3341(HiphPerf) a fireH784 in the forestH3293 thereof, and it shall devourH398(QalPerf) all things round aboutH5439 it.
