[1] Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near, [2] and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to Yahweh your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us, [3] that Yahweh your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.” [4] Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to Yahweh your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing Yahweh answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.” [5] Then they said to Jeremiah, “May Yahweh be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which Yahweh your God sends you to tell us. [6] Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of Yahweh our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yahweh our God.” [7] After ten days, Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah. [8] Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, [9] and said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says: [10] ‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you. [11] Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says Yahweh, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. [12] I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land. [13] “‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey Yahweh your God’s voice, [14] saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’ [15] 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, [16] then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there. [17] So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’ [18] 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.’ [19] “Yahweh has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today. [20] 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.’ [21] I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed Yahweh your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you. [22] Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”

Jeremiah’s Counsel

[1] Then all the captains H8269 of the forces, H2428 and Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah, H7143 and Jezaniah H3153 the son H1121 of Hoshaiah, H1955 and all the people H5971 from the least H6996 even unto the greatest, H1419 came near, H5066 [2] and said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet, H5030 Let, we beseech thee, our supplication H8467 be accepted H5307 before H6440 thee,§ and pray H6419 for H3588 us unto the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 even for all this remnant; H7611 (for we are left H7604 but a few H4592 of many, H7235 as thine eyes H5869 do behold H7200 us:) [3] that the Lord H3068 thy God H430 may shew H5046 H853 us the way H1870 wherein we may walk, H3212 and the thing H1697 that we may do. H6213 [4] Then Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 said H559 unto H413 them, I have heard H8085 you; behold, I will pray H6419 unto H413 the Lord H3068 your God H430 according to your words; H1697 and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing H1697 the Lord H3068 shall answer H6030 you, I will declare H5046 it unto you; I will keep H4513 nothing H1697 back H4513 from you. [5] Then they said H559 to Jeremiah, H3414 The Lord H3068 be a true H571 and faithful H539 witness H5707 between us, if we do H6213 not H3808 even according to all things H1697 for the which the Lord H3068 thy God H430 shall send H7971 thee to us. [6] Whether it be good, H2896 or whether it be evil, H7451 we will obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 our God, H430 to whom we H580 send H7971 thee; that it may be well H3190 with us, when we obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 our God. H430 [7] And it came to pass after H7093 ten H6235 days, H3117 that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto Jeremiah. H3414 [8] Then called H7121 he Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah, H7143 and all the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 which were with him, and all the people H5971 from the least H6996 even to the greatest, H1419 [9] and said H559 unto H413 them, Thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 unto H413 whom H834 ye sent H7971 me to present H5307 your supplication H8467 before H6440 him; [10] If ye will still H7725 abide H3427 in this land, H776 then will I build H1129 you, and not pull you down, H2040 and I will plant H5193 you, and not pluck you up: H5428 for H3588 I repent H5162 me of the evil H7451 that I have done H6213 unto you. [11] Be not afraid H3372 of H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 of H6440 whom H834 ye are afraid; H3373 be not afraid H3372 of him, saith H5002 the Lord: H3068 for I am with you to save H3467 you, and to deliver H5337 you from his hand. H3027 [12] And I will shew H5414 mercies H7356 unto H413 you, that he may have mercy H7355 upon you, and cause you to return H7725 to your own land. H127 [13] But if ye say, H559 We will H3427 not H3808 dwell H3427 in this land, H776 neither obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 your God, H430 [14] saying, H559 No; but we will go H935 into the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 where H834 we shall see H7200 no war, H4421 nor hear H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet, H7782 nor have hunger H7456 of bread; H3899 and there will we dwell: H3427 [15] and now therefore hear H8085 the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 ye remnant H7611 of Judah; H3063 Thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 If ye wholly H7760 set H7760 your faces H6440 to enter H935 into Egypt, H4714 and go H935 to sojourn H1481 there; [16] then it shall come to pass, that the sword, H2719 which H834 ye feared, H3373 shall overtake H5381 you there in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and the famine, H7458 whereof ye were afraid, H1672 shall follow close H1692§ after H310 you there in Egypt, H4714 and there ye shall die. H4191 [17] So shall it be with all the men H582§ that set H7760 their faces H6440 to go H935 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there; they shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence: H1698 and none of them shall remain H8300 or escape H6412 from H6440 the evil H7451 that I will bring H935 upon them. [18] For H3588 thus saith H559 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 upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem; H3389 so shall my fury H2534 be poured forth H5413 upon H5921 you, when ye shall enter H935 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 H853 this H2088 place H4725 no more. [19] The Lord H3068 hath said H1696 concerning H5921 you, O ye remnant H7611 of Judah; H3063 Go H935 ye not into Egypt: H4714 know H3045 certainly H3045 that I have admonished H5749 you§ this day. H3117 [20] For H3588 ye dissembled H8582 in your hearts, H5315§ when ye sent H7971 me unto the Lord H3068 your God, H430 saying, H559 Pray H6419 for H3588 us unto the Lord H3068 our God; H430 and according unto all that the Lord H3068 our God H430 shall say, H559 so H3651 declare H5046 unto H413 us, and we will do H6213 it. [21] And now I have this day H3117 declared H5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 your God, H430 nor any thing for the which he hath sent H7971 me unto you. [22] Now H6258 therefore know H3045 certainly H3045 that ye shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence, H1698 in the place H4725 whither ye desire H2654 to go H935 and to sojourn.
