Jeremiah 32 (WEBP)

[1] This is the word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
[2] Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
[3] For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
[4] and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;
[5] and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says Yahweh, “though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper” ’?”
[6] Jeremiah said, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[7] ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’ ”
[8] “So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to Yahweh’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was Yahweh’s word.
[9] I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
[10] I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
[11] So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
[12] and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
[13] “I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
[14] Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’
[15] For Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
[16] Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,
[17] “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
[18] You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is your name:
[19] great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
[20] who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
[21] and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
[22] and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
[23] They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
[24] “Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.
[25] You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
[26] Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
[27] “Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
[28] Therefore Yahweh says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
[29] The Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
[30] “For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.
[31] For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,
[32] because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[33] They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
[34] But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
[35] They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
[36] Now therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”
[37] “Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
[38] Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
[39] I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.
[40] I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
[41] Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”
[42] 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.
[43] Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
[44] Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says Yahweh.

Jeremiah 32 (KJVS)

[1] The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
[2] For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged () Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up () in the court of the prison, which [was] in the king of Judah’s house.
[3] For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, () saying, () Wherefore dost thou prophesy, () and say, () Thus saith () the Lord, Behold, I will give () this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take () it;
[4] And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape () out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely () be delivered () into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak () with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold () his eyes;
[5] And he shall lead () Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit () him, saith () the Lord: though ye fight () with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper. ()
[6] And Jeremiah said, () The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ()
[7] Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come () unto thee, saying, () Buy () thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is] thine to buy () [it].
[8] So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came () to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said () unto me, Buy () my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy () [it] for thyself. Then I knew () that this [was] the word of the Lord.
[9] And I bought () the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that [was] in Anathoth, and weighed () him the money, [even] seventeen shekels of silver.
[10] And I subscribed () the evidence, and sealed () [it], and took () witnesses, and weighed () [him] the money in the balances.
[11] So I took () the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which was sealed () [according] to the law and custom, and that which was open: ()
[12] And I gave () the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle’s [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed () the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat () in the court of the prison.
[13] And I charged () Baruch before them, saying, ()
[14] Thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take () these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, () and this evidence which is open; () and put () them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue () many days.
[15] For thus saith () the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again () in this land.
[16] Now when I had delivered () the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed () unto the Lord, saying, ()
[17] Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made () the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out () arm, [and] there is nothing too hard () for thee:
[18] Thou shewest () lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest () the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, [is] his name,
[19] Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes [are] open () upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give () every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
[20] Which hast set () signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made () thee a name, as at this day;
[21] And hast brought forth () thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out () arm, and with great terror;
[22] And hast given () them this land, which thou didst swear () to their fathers to give () them, a land flowing () with milk and honey;
[23] And they came in, () and possessed () it; but they obeyed () not thy voice, neither walked () in thy law; they have done () nothing of all that thou commandedst () them to do: () therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come () upon them:
[24] Behold the mounts, they are come () unto the city to take () it; and the city is given () into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight () against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken () is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest () [it].
[25] And thou hast said () unto me, O Lord God, Buy () thee the field for money, and take () witnesses; for the city is given () into the hand of the Chaldeans.
[26] Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, ()
[27] Behold, I [am] the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard () for me?
[28] Therefore thus saith () the Lord; Behold, I will give () this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take () it:
[29] And the Chaldeans, that fight () against this city, shall come () and set () fire on this city, and burn () it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense () unto Baal, and poured out () drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger. ()
[30] For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done () evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger () with the work of their hands, saith () the Lord.
[31] For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built () it even unto this day; that I should remove () it from before my face,
[32] Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done () to provoke me to anger, () they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants () of Jerusalem.
[33] And they have turned () unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught () them, rising up early () and teaching () [them], yet they have not hearkened () to receive () instruction.
[34] But they set () their abominations in the house, which is called () by my name, to defile () it.
[35] And they built () the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass () through [the fire] unto Molech; which I commanded () them not, neither came () it into my mind, that they should do () this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. ()
[36] And now therefore thus saith () the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, () It shall be delivered () into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
[37] Behold, I will gather them out () of all countries, whither I have driven () them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again () unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell () safely:
[38] And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
[39] And I will give () them one heart, and one way, that they may fear () me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
[40] And I will make () an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away () from them, to do them good; () but I will put () my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart () from me.
[41] Yea, I will rejoice () over them to do them good, () and I will plant () them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
[42] For thus saith () the Lord; Like as I have brought () all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring () upon them all the good that I have promised () them.
[43] And fields shall be bought () in this land, whereof ye say, () [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given () into the hand of the Chaldeans.
[44] Men shall buy () fields for money, and subscribe () evidences, and seal () [them], and take () witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, () saith () the Lord.

[2] [39:2] και δυναμις βασιλεως βαβυλωνος εχαρακωσεν επι ιερουσαλημ και ιερεμιας εφυλασσετο εν αυλη της φυλακης η εστιν εν οικω του βασιλεως
[3] [39:3] εν η κατεκλεισεν αυτον ο βασιλευς σεδεκιας λεγων δια τι συ προφητευεις λεγων ουτως ειπεν κυριος ιδου εγω διδωμι την πολιν ταυτην εν χερσιν βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και λημψεται αυτην
[4] [39:4] και σεδεκιας ου μη σωθη εκ χειρος των χαλδαιων οτι παραδοσει παραδοθησεται εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και λαλησει στομα αυτου προς στομα αυτου και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου τους οφθαλμους αυτου οψονται
[5] [39:5] και εισελευσεται σεδεκιας εις βαβυλωνα και εκει καθιειται
[6] [39:6] και λογος κυριου εγενηθη προς ιερεμιαν λεγων
[7] [39:7] ιδου αναμεηλ υιος σαλωμ αδελφου πατρος σου ερχεται προς σε λεγων κτησαι σεαυτω τον αγρον μου τον εν αναθωθ οτι σοι κριμα παραλαβειν εις κτησιν
[8] [39:8] και ηλθεν προς με αναμεηλ υιος σαλωμ αδελφου πατρος μου εις την αυλην της φυλακης και ειπεν μοι κτησαι τον αγρον μου τον εν γη βενιαμιν τον εν αναθωθ οτι σοι κριμα κτησασθαι και συ πρεσβυτερος και εγνων οτι λογος κυριου εστιν
[9] [39:9] και εκτησαμην τον αγρον αναμεηλ υιου αδελφου πατρος μου και εστησα αυτω επτα σικλους και δεκα αργυριου
[10] [39:10] και εγραψα εις βιβλιον και εσφραγισαμην και διεμαρτυραμην μαρτυρας και εστησα το αργυριον εν ζυγω
[11] [39:11] και ελαβον το βιβλιον της κτησεως το εσφραγισμενον και το ανεγνωσμενον
[12] [39:12] και εδωκα αυτο τω βαρουχ υιω νηριου υιου μαασαιου κατ οφθαλμους αναμεηλ υιου αδελφου πατρος μου και κατ οφθαλμους των εστηκοτων και γραφοντων εν τω βιβλιω της κτησεως και κατ οφθαλμους των ιουδαιων των εν τη αυλη της φυλακης
[13] [39:13] και συνεταξα τω βαρουχ κατ οφθαλμους αυτων λεγων
[14] [39:14] ουτως ειπεν κυριος παντοκρατωρ λαβε το βιβλιον της κτησεως τουτο και το βιβλιον το ανεγνωσμενον και θησεις αυτο εις αγγειον οστρακινον ινα διαμεινη ημερας πλειους
[15] [39:15] οτι ουτως ειπεν κυριος ετι κτηθησονται αγροι και οικιαι και αμπελωνες εν τη γη ταυτη
[16] [39:16] και προσευξαμην προς κυριον μετα το δουναι με το βιβλιον της κτησεως προς βαρουχ υιον νηριου λεγων
[17] [39:17] ω κυριε συ εποιησας τον ουρανον και την γην τη ισχυι σου τη μεγαλη και τω βραχιονι σου τω υψηλω και τω μετεωρω ου μη αποκρυβη απο σου ουθεν
[18] [39:18] ποιων ελεος εις χιλιαδας και αποδιδους αμαρτιας πατερων εις κολπους τεκνων αυτων μετ αυτους ο θεος ο μεγας και ισχυρος
[19] [39:19] κυριος μεγαλης βουλης και δυνατος τοις εργοις ο θεος ο μεγας ο παντοκρατωρ και μεγαλωνυμος κυριος οι οφθαλμοι σου εις τας οδους των υιων των ανθρωπων δουναι εκαστω κατα την οδον αυτου
[20] [39:20] ος εποιησας σημεια και τερατα εν γη αιγυπτω εως της ημερας ταυτης και εν ισραηλ και εν τοις γηγενεσιν και εποιησας σεαυτω ονομα ως η ημερα αυτη
[21] [39:21] και εξηγαγες τον λαον σου ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου εν σημειοις και εν τερασιν και εν χειρι κραταια και εν βραχιονι υψηλω και εν οραμασιν μεγαλοις
[22] [39:22] και εδωκας αυτοις την γην ταυτην ην ωμοσας τοις πατρασιν αυτων γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι
[23] [39:23] και εισηλθοσαν και ελαβοσαν αυτην και ουκ ηκουσαν της φωνης σου και εν τοις προσταγμασιν σου ουκ επορευθησαν απαντα α ενετειλω αυτοις ουκ εποιησαν και εποιησας συμβηναι αυτοις παντα τα κακα ταυτα
[24] [39:24] ιδου οχλος ηκει εις την πολιν ταυτην συλλαβειν αυτην και η πολις εδοθη εις χειρας χαλδαιων των πολεμουντων αυτην απο προσωπου μαχαιρας και του λιμου ως ελαλησας ουτως εγενετο
[25] [39:25] και συ λεγεις προς με κτησαι σεαυτω αγρον αργυριου και εγραψα βιβλιον και εσφραγισαμην και επεμαρτυραμην μαρτυρας και η πολις εδοθη εις χειρας χαλδαιων
[26] [39:26] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[27] [39:27] εγω κυριος ο θεος πασης σαρκος μη απ εμου κρυβησεται τι
[28] [39:28] δια τουτο ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ δοθεισα παραδοθησεται η πολις αυτη εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος και λημψεται αυτην
[29] [39:29] και ηξουσιν οι χαλδαιοι πολεμουντες επι την πολιν ταυτην και καυσουσιν την πολιν ταυτην εν πυρι και κατακαυσουσιν τας οικιας εν αις εθυμιωσαν επι των δωματων αυτων τη βααλ και εσπενδον σπονδας θεοις ετεροις προς το παραπικραναι με
[30] [39:30] οτι ησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ και οι υιοι ιουδα μονοι ποιουντες το πονηρον κατ οφθαλμους μου εκ νεοτητος αυτων
[31] [39:31] οτι επι την οργην μου και επι τον θυμον μου ην η πολις αυτη αφ ης ημερας ωκοδομησαν αυτην και εως της ημερας ταυτης απαλλαξαι αυτην απο προσωπου μου
[32] [39:32] δια πασας τας πονηριας των υιων ισραηλ και ιουδα ων εποιησαν πικραναι με αυτοι και οι βασιλεις αυτων και οι αρχοντες αυτων και οι ιερεις αυτων και οι προφηται αυτων ανδρες ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ
[33] [39:33] και επεστρεψαν προς με νωτον και ου προσωπον και εδιδαξα αυτους ορθρου και εδιδαξα και ουκ ηκουσαν επιλαβειν παιδειαν
[34] [39:34] και εθηκαν τα μιασματα αυτων εν τω οικω ου επεκληθη το ονομα μου επ αυτω εν ακαθαρσιαις αυτων
[35] [39:35] και ωκοδομησαν τους βωμους τη βααλ τους εν φαραγγι υιου εννομ του αναφερειν τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων τω μολοχ βασιλει α ου συνεταξα αυτοις και ουκ ανεβη επι καρδιαν μου του ποιησαι το βδελυγμα τουτο προς το εφαμαρτειν τον ιουδαν
[36] [39:36] και νυν ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ επι την πολιν ην συ λεγεις παραδοθησεται εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος εν μαχαιρα και εν λιμω και εν αποστολη
[37] [39:37] ιδου εγω συναγω αυτους εκ πασης της γης ου διεσπειρα αυτους εκει εν οργη μου και τω θυμω μου και παροξυσμω μεγαλω και επιστρεψω αυτους εις τον τοπον τουτον και καθιω αυτους πεποιθοτας
[38] [39:38] και εσονται μοι εις λαον και εγω εσομαι αυτοις εις θεον
[39] [39:39] και δωσω αυτοις οδον ετεραν και καρδιαν ετεραν φοβηθηναι με πασας τας ημερας εις αγαθον αυτοις και τοις τεκνοις αυτων μετ αυτους
[40] [39:40] και διαθησομαι αυτοις διαθηκην αιωνιαν ην ου μη αποστρεψω οπισθεν αυτων και τον φοβον μου δωσω εις την καρδιαν αυτων προς το μη αποστηναι αυτους απ εμου
[41] [39:41] και επισκεψομαι του αγαθωσαι αυτους και φυτευσω αυτους εν τη γη ταυτη εν πιστει και εν παση καρδια και εν παση ψυχη
[42] [39:42] οτι ουτως ειπεν κυριος καθα επηγαγον επι τον λαον τουτον παντα τα κακα τα μεγαλα ταυτα ουτως εγω επαξω επ αυτους παντα τα αγαθα α ελαλησα επ αυτους
[43] [39:43] και κτηθησονται ετι αγροι εν τη γη η συ λεγεις αβατος εστιν απο ανθρωπων και κτηνους και παρεδοθησαν εις χειρας χαλδαιων
[44] [39:44] και κτησονται αγρους εν αργυριω και γραψεις βιβλιον και σφραγιη και διαμαρτυρη μαρτυρας εν γη βενιαμιν και κυκλω ιερουσαλημ και εν πολεσιν ιουδα και εν πολεσιν του ορους και εν πολεσιν της σεφηλα και εν πολεσιν της ναγεβ οτι αποστρεψω τας αποικιας αυτων
