H8203
Then Shephatiah
H1121
the son
H4977
of Mattan
H1436
, and Gedaliah
H1121
the son
H6583
of Pashur
H3116
, and Jucal
H1121
the son
H8018
of Shelemiah
H6583
, and Pashur
H1121
the son
H4441
of Malchiah
H8085 [H8799]
, heard
H1697
the words
H3414
that Jeremiah
H1696 [H8764]
had spoken
H5971
to all the people
H559 [H8800]
, saying,
2
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H3427 [H8802]
, He that remaineth
H5892
in this city
H4191 [H8799]
shall die
H2719
by the sword
H7458
, by the famine
H1698
, and by the pestilence
H3318 [H8802]
: but he that goeth forth
H3778
to the Chaldeans
H2421 [H8804]
shall live
H5315
; for he shall have his life
H7998
for a prize
H2421 H2425 [H8799]
, and shall live.
3
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H5892
, This city
H5414 [H8736]
shall surely
H5414 [H8735]
be given
H3027
into the hand
H4428
of the king
H894
of Babylon's
H2428
army
H3920 [H8804]
, which shall take it.
4
H8269
Therefore the princes
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king
H376
, We beseech thee, let this man
H4191 [H8714]
be put to death
H3651
: for thus
H7503 [H8764]
he weakeneth
H3027
the hands
H582
of the men
H4421
of war
H7604 [H8737]
that remain
H5892
in this city
H3027
, and the hands
H5971
of all the people
H1696 [H8763]
, in speaking
H1697
such words
H376
to them: for this man
H1875 [H8802]
seeketh
H7965
not the welfare
H5971
of this people
H7451
, but the harm.
5
H6667
Then Zedekiah
H4428
the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H3027
, Behold, he is in your hand
H4428
: for the king
H3201 [H8799]
is not he that can
H1697
do any thing against you.
6
H3947 [H8799]
Then they took
H3414
Jeremiah
H7993 [H8686]
, and cast
H953
him into the dungeon
H4441
of Malchiah
H1121
the son
H4428
of Hammelech
H2691
, that was in the court
H4307
of the prison
H7971 [H8762]
: and they let down
H3414
Jeremiah
H2256
with cords
H953
. And in the dungeon
H4325
there was no water
H2916
, but mire
H3414
: so Jeremiah
H2883 [H8799]
sunk
H2916
in the mire.
7
H5663
Now when Ebedmelech
H3569
the Cushite
H376
, one
H5631
of the eunuchs
H4428
who was in the king's
H1004
house
H8085 [H8799]
, heard
H5414 [H8804]
that they had put
H3414
Jeremiah
H953
in the dungeon
H4428
; the king
H3427 [H8802]
then sitting
H8179
in the gate
H1144
of Benjamin;
8
H5663
Ebedmelech
H3318 [H8799]
went
H4428
out of the king's
H1004
house
H1696 [H8762]
, and spoke
H4428
to the king
H559 [H8800]
, saying,
9
H113
My lord
H4428
the king
H582
, these men
H7489 [H8689]
have done evil
H6213 [H8804]
in all that they have done
H3414
to Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet
H7993 [H8689]
, whom they have cast
H953
into the dungeon
H4191 [H8799]
; and he is certain to die
H6440
from
H7458
hunger
H8478
in the place
H3899
where he is: for there is no more bread
H5892
in the city.
10
H4428
Then the king
H6680 [H8762]
commanded
H5663
Ebedmelech
H3569
the Cushite
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H3947 [H8798]
, Take
H7970
from here thirty
H582
men
H3027
with thee
H5927 [H8689]
, and take up
H3414
Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet
H953
out of the dungeon
H4191 [H8799]
, before he dieth.
11
H5663
So Ebedmelech
H3947 [H8799]
took
H582
the men
H3027
with him
H935 [H8799]
, and went
H1004
into the house
H4428
of the king
H214
under the treasury
H3947 [H8799]
, and took
H1094
from there old
H5499
clothes
H1094
and old
H4418
rags
H7971 [H8762]
, and let them down
H2256
by cords
H953
into the dungeon
H3414
to Jeremiah.
12
H5663
And Ebedmelech
H3569
the Cushite
H559 [H8799]
said
H3414
to Jeremiah
H7760 [H8798]
, Put
H1094
now these old
H5499
clothes
H4418
and old rags
H679 H3027
under thy arms
H2256
under the cords
H3414
. And Jeremiah
H6213 [H8799]
did so.
13
H4900 [H8799]
So they drew up
H3414
Jeremiah
H2256
with cords
H5927 [H8686]
, and took him
H953
out of the dungeon
H3414
: and Jeremiah
H3427 [H8799]
remained
H2691
in the court
H4307
of the prison.
14
H6667
Then Zedekiah
H4428
the king
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H3947 [H8799]
, and took
H3414
Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet
H7992
to him into the third
H3996
entrance
H1004
that is in the house
H3068
of the LORD
H4428
: and the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H3414
to Jeremiah
H7592 [H8802]
, I will ask
H1697
thee a thing
H3582 [H8762]
; hide nothing from me.
15
H3414
Then Jeremiah
H559 [H8799]
said
H6667
to Zedekiah
H5046 [H8686]
, If I declare
H4191 [H8687]
it to thee, wilt thou not surely
H4191 [H8686]
put me to death
H3289 [H8799]
? and if I give thee counsel
H8085 [H8799]
, wilt thou not hearken to me?
16
H6667
So Zedekiah
H4428
the king
H7650 [H8735]
swore
H5643
secretly
H3414
to Jeremiah
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H3068
, As the LORD
H2416
liveth
H6213 [H8804]
, that made
H5315
us this soul
H4191 [H8686]
, I will not put thee to death
H5414 [H8799]
, neither will I give
H3027
thee into the hand
H582
of these men
H1245 [H8764]
that seek
H5315
thy life.
17
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3414
Jeremiah
H6667
to Zedekiah
H559 [H8804]
, Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H430
, the God
H6635
of hosts
H430
, the God
H3478
of Israel
H3318 [H8800]
; If thou wilt assuredly
H3318 [H8799]
go forth
H4428
to the king
H894
of Babylon's
H8269
princes
H5315
, then thy soul
H2421 [H8804]
shall live
H5892
, and this city
H8313 [H8735]
shall not be burned
H784
with fire
H2421 [H8804]
; and thou shalt live
H1004
, and thy house:
18
H3318 [H8799]
But if thou wilt not go forth
H4428
to the king
H894
of Babylon's
H8269
princes
H5892
, then shall this city
H5414 [H8738]
be given
H3027
into the hand
H3778
of the Chaldeans
H8313 [H8804]
, and they shall burn
H784
it with fire
H4422 [H8735]
, and thou shalt not escape from
H3027
their hand.
19
H6667
And Zedekiah
H4428
the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H3414
to Jeremiah
H1672 [H8802]
, I am afraid
H3064
of the Jews
H5307 [H8804]
that have fallen
H3778
to the Chaldeans
H5414 [H8799]
, lest they deliver
H3027
me into their hand
H5953 [H8694]
, and they mock me.
20
H3414
But Jeremiah
H559 [H8799]
said
H5414 [H8799]
, They shall not deliver
H8085 [H8798]
thee. Obey
H6963
, I beseech thee, the voice
H3068
of the LORD
H1696 [H8802]
, which I speak
H3190 [H8799]
to thee: so it shall be well
H5315
to thee, and thy soul
H2421 [H8799]
shall live.
21
H3986
But if thou shalt refuse
H3318 [H8800]
to go forth
H1697
, this is the word
H3068
that the LORD
H7200 [H8689]
hath shown me:
22
H802
And, behold, all the women
H7604 [H8738]
that are left
H4428
in the king
H3063
of Judah's
H1004
house
H3318 [H8716]
shall be brought forth
H4428
to the king
H894
of Babylon's
H8269
princes
H559 [H8802]
, and those women shall say
H582 H7965
, Thy friends
H5496 [H8689]
have set thee on
H3201 [H8804]
, and have prevailed
H7272
against thee: thy feet
H2883 [H8717]
are sunk
H1206
in the mire
H5472 [H8738]
, and they are turned away
H268
back.
23
H3318 [H8688]
So they shall bring out
H802
all thy wives
H1121
and thy children
H3778
to the Chaldeans
H4422 [H8735]
: and thou shalt not escape out
H3027
of their hand
H8610 [H8735]
, but shalt be taken
H3027
by the hand
H4428
of the king
H894
of Babylon
H5892
: and thou shalt cause this city
H8313 [H8799]
to be burned
H784
with fire.
24
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H6667
Zedekiah
H3414
to Jeremiah
H376
, Let no man
H3045 [H8799]
know
H1697
of these words
H4191 [H8799]
, and thou shalt not die.
25
H8269
But if the princes
H8085 [H8799]
hear
H1696 [H8765]
that I have talked
H935 [H8804]
with thee, and they come
H559 [H8804]
to thee, and say
H5046 [H8685]
to thee, Declare
H1696 [H8765]
to us now what thou hast said
H4428
to the king
H3582 [H8762]
, hide
H4191 [H8686]
it not from us, and we will not put thee to death
H4428
; also what the king
H1696 [H8765]
said to thee:
26
H559 [H8804]
Then thou shalt say
H5307 [H8688]
to them, I presented
H8467
my supplication
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H7725 [H8687]
, that he would not cause me to return
H3083
to Jonathan's
H1004
house
H4191 [H8800]
, to die there.
27
H935 [H8799]
Then came
H8269
all the princes
H3414
to Jeremiah
H7592 [H8799]
, and asked
H5046 [H8686]
him: and he told
H1697
them according to all these words
H4428
that the king
H6680 [H8765]
had commanded
H2790 [H8686]
. So they stopped speaking
H1697
with him; for the matter
H8085 [H8738]
was not perceived.
