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 sovereign
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 breath,
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 breath
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 anxious
H3064
of the Judeans
H5307 [H8804]
that have fallen
H3778
to the Chaldeans,
H5414 [H8799]
lest they give
H3027
me into their hand,
H5953 [H8694]
and they mock me.
20
H3414
But Jeremiah
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5414 [H8799]
They shall not give
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 breath
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 sons
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
at the face of
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.
