YIRME YAH IMPRISONED
And sovereign Sidqi Yah the son of Yoshi Yah reigns in the stead of Kon Yah the son of Yah Yaqim whom Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel made sovereign in the land of Yah Hudah: 2 and neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land hearken to the words of Yah Veh worded by the hand of the prophet Yirme Yah. 3 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign sends Yehuchal the son of Shelem Yah and Sephan Yah the son of Maase Yah the priest to the prophet Yirme Yah, saying, Pray, I beseech, to Yah Veh our Elohim for us. 4 - and Yirme Yah comes and goes among the people for they give him not into the prison house. 5 And the valiant of Paroh come from Misrayim: and the Kesediym besieging Yeru Shalem hear their report; and they ascend from Yeru Shalem. 6 And so be the word of Yah Veh to the prophet Yirme Yah, saying, 7 Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Say thus to the sovereign of Yah Hudah, who sent you to me to enquire of me: Behold, the valiant of Paroh who come to help you return to Misrayim into their own land: 8 and the Kesediym return and fight against this city and capture it and burn it with fire. 9 Thus says Yah Veh: Deceive not your souls, saying, The Kesediym walk and go from us! - for they go not. 10 For though you smite all the valiant of the Kesediym who fight against you, and there survives but wounded men among them, every man rises from his tent to burn this city with fire. 11 And so be it, the valiant of the Kesediym ascend from Yeru Shalem from the face of the valiant of Paroh, 12 and Yirme Yah comes from Yeru Shalem and goes to the land of Ben Yamin - to receive an allotment among the people. 13 And so be it, he is in the portal of Ben Yamin, a master of the visitation is there whose name is Yiri Yah the son of Shelem Yah the son of Hanan Yah; and he apprehends Yirme Yah the prophet, saying, You fall to the Kesediym. 14 And Yirme Yah says, Falsehood! I fall not to the Kesediym. - and he hearkens not to him. And Yiri Yah apprehends Yirme Yah, and brings him to the governors: 15 and the governors enraged over Yirme Yah and smite him and give him into the bond house in the house of Yah Nathan the scribe: which they worked for a prison house. 16 And Yirme Yah enters into the well house and into the prisons; and Yirme Yah settles there many days. 17 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign sends and takes him out: and in his house the sovereign asks him covertly, and says, Is there a word from Yah Veh? And Yirme Yah says, There is. And he says, You are given into the hand of the sovereign of Babel. 18 And Yirme Yah says to sovereign Sidqi Yah, What sinned I against you - or against your servants - or against this people that you give me to the prison house? 19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The sovereign of Babel comes not against you or against this land? 20 And now hearken, I beseech you, O my adoni the sovereign: that my supplication, I beseech you, fall at your face; that you not return me to the house of Yah Nathan the scribe, lest I die there. 21 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign misvahs them to muster Yirme Yah into the court of the target area, and that they give him daily a round of bread from the outway of the bakers, until all the bread in the city is consumed. Thus Yirme Yah settles in the court of the target area.
