Jeremiah 27 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Jeremiah 27 (KJVS)

[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, ()
[2] Thus saith () the Lord to me; Make () thee bonds and yokes, and put () them upon thy neck,
[3] and send () them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come () to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
[4] and command () them to say () unto their masters, Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say () unto your masters;
[5] I have made () the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched () arm, and have given () it unto whom it seemed meet () unto me.
[6] And now have I given () all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given () him also to serve () him.
[7] And all nations shall serve () him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: () and then many nations and great kings shall serve () themselves of him.
[8] And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve () the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put () their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, () saith () the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed () them by his hand.
[9] Therefore hearken () not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, () nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, () nor to your sorcerers, which speak () unto you, saying, () Ye shall not serve () the king of Babylon:
[10] for they prophesy () a lie unto you, to remove you far () from your land; and that I should drive you out, () and ye should perish. ()
[11] But the nations that bring () their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve () him, those will I let remain still () in their own land, saith () the Lord; and they shall till () it, and dwell () therein.
[12] I spake () also 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 ye die, () thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken () against the nation that will not serve () the king of Babylon?
[14] Therefore hearken () not unto the words of the prophets that speak () unto you, saying, () Ye shall not serve () the king of Babylon: for they prophesy () a lie unto you.
[15] For I have not sent () them, saith () the Lord, yet they prophesy () a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, () and that ye might perish, () ye, and the prophets that prophesy () unto you.
[16] Also I spake () to the priests and to all this people, saying, () Thus saith () the Lord; Hearken () not to the words of your prophets that prophesy () unto you, saying, () Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house shall now shortly be brought again () from Babylon: for they prophesy () a lie unto you.
[17] Hearken () not unto them; serve () the king of Babylon, and live: () wherefore should this city be laid waste?
[18] But if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession () to the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left () in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go () not to Babylon.
[19] For thus saith () the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain () in this city,
[20] which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took () not, 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] yea, thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain () in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
[22] they shall be carried () to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit () them, saith () the Lord; then will I bring () them up, and restore () them to this place.

Jeremiah 27 (BYZ)

[2] [34:2] ουτως ειπεν κυριος ποιησον δεσμους και κλοιους και περιθου περι τον τραχηλον σου
[3] [34:3] και αποστελεις αυτους προς βασιλεα ιδουμαιας και προς βασιλεα μωαβ και προς βασιλεα υιων αμμων και προς βασιλεα τυρου και προς βασιλεα σιδωνος εν χερσιν αγγελων αυτων των ερχομενων εις απαντησιν αυτων εις ιερουσαλημ προς σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα
[4] [34:4] και συνταξεις αυτοις προς τους κυριους αυτων ειπειν ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ουτως ερειτε προς τους κυριους υμων
[5] [34:5] οτι εγω εποιησα την γην εν τη ισχυι μου τη μεγαλη και εν τω επιχειρω μου τω υψηλω και δωσω αυτην ω εαν δοξη εν οφθαλμοις μου
[6] [34:6] εδωκα την γην τω ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλει βαβυλωνος δουλευειν αυτω και τα θηρια του αγρου εργαζεσθαι αυτω …
[8] [34:8] και το εθνος και η βασιλεια οσοι εαν μη εμβαλωσιν τον τραχηλον αυτων υπο τον ζυγον βασιλεως βαβυλωνος εν μαχαιρα και εν λιμω επισκεψομαι αυτους ειπεν κυριος εως εκλιπωσιν εν χειρι αυτου
[9] [34:9] και υμεις μη ακουετε των ψευδοπροφητων υμων και των μαντευομενων υμιν και των ενυπνιαζομενων υμιν και των οιωνισματων υμων και των φαρμακων υμων των λεγοντων ου μη εργασησθε τω βασιλει βαβυλωνος
[10] [34:10] οτι ψευδη αυτοι προφητευουσιν υμιν προς το μακρυναι υμας απο της γης υμων
[11] [34:11] και το εθνος ο εαν εισαγαγη τον τραχηλον αυτου υπο τον ζυγον βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και εργασηται αυτω και καταλειψω αυτον επι της γης αυτου και εργαται αυτω και ενοικησει εν αυτη
[12] [34:12] και προς σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα ελαλησα κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους λεγων εισαγαγετε τον τραχηλον υμων …
[14] [34:14] και εργασασθε τω βασιλει βαβυλωνος οτι αδικα αυτοι προφητευουσιν υμιν
[15] [34:15] οτι ουκ απεστειλα αυτους φησιν κυριος και προφητευουσιν τω ονοματι μου επ αδικω προς το απολεσαι υμας και απολεισθε υμεις και οι προφηται υμων οι προφητευοντες υμιν επ αδικω ψευδη
[16] [34:16] υμιν και παντι τω λαω τουτω και τοις ιερευσιν ελαλησα λεγων ουτως ειπεν κυριος μη ακουετε των λογων των προφητων των προφητευοντων υμιν λεγοντων ιδου σκευη οικου κυριου επιστρεψει εκ βαβυλωνος οτι αδικα αυτοι προφητευουσιν υμιν ουκ απεστειλα αυτους …
[18] [34:18] ει προφηται εισιν και ει εστιν λογος κυριου εν αυτοις απαντησατωσαν μοι
[19] [34:19] οτι ουτως ειπεν κυριος και των επιλοιπων σκευων
[20] [34:20] ων ουκ ελαβεν βασιλευς βαβυλωνος οτε απωκισεν τον ιεχονιαν εξ ιερουσαλημ …
[22] [34:22] εις βαβυλωνα εισελευσεται λεγει κυριος
