[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, [2] Yahweh says to me: “Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck. [3] Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. [4] Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell your masters: [5] ‘I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me. [6] Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him. [7] All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant. [8] “‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. [9] But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon;” [10] for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish. [11] But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says Yahweh; ‘and they will till it and dwell in it.’”’” [12] I spoke 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] Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? [14] Don’t listen to the words of the 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 Yahweh, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.” [16] Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Yahweh says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of Yahweh’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you. [17] Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation? [18] But if they are prophets, and if Yahweh’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in Yahweh’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon. [19] For Yahweh of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city, [20] which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem— [21] yes, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in Yahweh’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem: [22] ‘They will be carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says Yahweh; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”

A Yoke on the Prophet’s Neck

[1] In the beginning H7225 of the reign H4467 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah H3063 came this word H1697 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 [2] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 to me; Make H6213 thee bonds H4147 and yokes, H4133 and put H5414 them upon thy neck, H6677 [3] and send H7971 them to the king H4428 of Edom, H123 and to the king H4428 of Moab, H4124 and to the king H4428 of the Ammonites, H1121 H5983 and to the king H4428 of Tyrus, H6865 and to the king H4428 of Zidon, H6721 by the hand H3027 of the messengers H4397 which come H935 to Jerusalem H3389 unto H413 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah; H3063 [4] and command H6680 them to say H559 unto H413 their masters, H113 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 unto H413 your masters; H113§ [5] I have made H6213 the earth, H776 H853 the man H120 and the beast H929 that are upon H6440 the ground, H776 by my great H1419 power H3581 and by my outstretched H5186 arm, H2220 and have given H5414 it unto whom it seemed H5869 meet H3474 unto me. [6] And now have I given H5414 all H3605 these H428 lands H776 into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 my servant; H5650 H853 and the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 have I given H5414 him also to serve H5647 him. [7] And all nations H1471 shall serve H5647 him, and his son, H1121 and his son’s H1121 son, H1121 until H5704 the very time H6256 of his land H776 come: H935 and then many H7227 nations H1471 and great H1419 kings H4428 shall serve H5647 themselves of him. [8] And it shall come to pass, that the nation H1471 and kingdom H4467 which H834 will not serve H5647 H853 the same Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and that will not put H5414 H853 their neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 that nation H1471 will I punish, H6485 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 with the sword, H2719 and with the famine, H7458 and with the pestilence, H1698 until H5704 I have consumed H8552 them by his hand. H3027 [9] Therefore hearken H8085 not ye to your prophets, H5030 nor to your diviners, H7080 nor to your dreamers, H2472§ nor to your enchanters, H6049 nor to your sorcerers, H3786 which H834 speak H559 unto H413 you, saying, H559 Ye shall not serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon: H894 [10] for H3588 they prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you, to remove you far H7368 from your land; H127 and that I should drive you out, H5080 and ye should perish. H6 [11] But the nations H1471 that bring H935 H853 their neck H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and serve H5647 him, those will I let remain still H3240 in their own land, H127 saith H5002 the Lord; H3068 and they shall till H5647 it, and dwell H3427 therein. [12] I spake H1696 also to Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 according to all these words, H1697 saying, H559 Bring H935 H853 your necks H6677 under the yoke H5923 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and serve H5647 him and his people, H5971 and live. H2421 [13] Why will ye die, H4191 thou and thy people, H5971 by the sword, H2719 by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence, H1698 as the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 against the nation H1471 that will not serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon? H894 [14] Therefore hearken H8085 not unto the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 that speak H559 unto H413 you, saying, H559 Ye shall not serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon: H894 for H3588 they prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you. [15] For H3588 I have not sent H7971 them, saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 yet they prophesy H5012 a lie H8267§ in my name; H8034 that I might drive you out, H5080 and that ye might perish, H6 ye, and the prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 unto you. [16] Also I spake H1696 to the priests H3548 and to all this people, H5971 saying, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Hearken H8085 not H408 to the words H1697 of your prophets H5030 that prophesy H5012 unto H413 you, saying, H559 Behold, the vessels H3627 of the Lord’s H3068 house H1004 shall now shortly H4120 be brought again H7725 from Babylon: H894 for H3588 they prophesy H5012 a lie H8267 unto you. [17] Hearken H8085 not H408 unto H413 them; serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and live: H2421 wherefore should this city H5892 be laid waste? H2723 [18] But if they be prophets, H5030 and if the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 be H3426 with H854 them, let them now make intercession H6293 to the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 that the vessels H3627 which are left H3498 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and in the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and at Jerusalem, H3389 go H935 not to Babylon. H894 [19] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 concerning H5921 the pillars, H5982 and concerning the sea, H3220 and concerning the bases, H4350 and concerning the residue H3499 of the vessels H3627 that remain H3498 in this city, H5892 [20] which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 took H3947 not, when he carried away captive H1540 H853 Jeconiah H3204 the son H1121 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 from Jerusalem H3389 to Babylon, H894 and all the nobles H2715 of Judah H3063 and Jerusalem; H3389 [21] yea, thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 concerning H5921 the vessels H3627 that remain H3498 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and in the house H1004 of the king H4428 of Judah H3063 and of Jerusalem; H3389 [22] they shall be carried H935 to Babylon, H894 and there shall they be until the day H3117 that I visit H6485 them, saith H5002 the Lord; H3068 then will I bring H5927 them up, and restore H7725 them to this place.
