1 H8671 In the ninth H8141 year H6667 of Zedekiah H4428 king H3063 of Judah H6224 , in the tenth H2320 month H935 , came [H8804] H5019 Nebuchadrezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H2428 and all his army H3389 against Jerusalem H6696 , and they besieged [H8799] it.

2 H6249 And in the eleventh H6240 H8141 year H6667 of Zedekiah H7243 , in the fourth H2320 month H8672 , the ninth H2320 day of the month H5892 , the city H1234 was broken up [H8717] .

3 H8269 And all the princes H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon H935 came in [H8799] H3427 , and sat [H8799] H8432 in the middle H8179 gate H5371 , even Nergalsharezer H5562 , Samgarnebo H8310 , Sarsechim H7249 , Rabsaris H5371 , Nergalsharezer H7248 , Rabmag H7611 , with all the residue H8269 of the princes H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon.

4 H6667 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah H4428 the king H3063 of Judah H7200 saw [H8804] H582 them, and all the men H4421 of war H1272 , then they fled [H8799] H3318 , and went forth [H8799] H5892 out of the city H3915 by night H1870 , by the way H4428 of the king's H1588 garden H8179 , by the gate H2346 betwixt the two walls H3318 : and he went out [H8799] H1870 the way H6160 of the plain.

5 H3778 But the Chaldeans H2428 ' army H7291 pursued [H8799] H310 after H5381 them, and overtook [H8686] H6667 Zedekiah H6160 in the plains H3405 of Jericho H3947 : and when they had taken [H8799] H5927 him, they brought him up [H8686] H5019 to Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H7247 to Riblah H776 in the land H2574 of Hamath H1696 , where he gave [H8762] H4941 judgment upon him.

6 H4428 Then the king H894 of Babylon H7819 slew [H8799] H1121 the sons H6667 of Zedekiah H7247 in Riblah H5869 before his eyes H4428 : also the king H894 of Babylon H7819 slew [H8804] H2715 all the nobles H3063 of Judah.

7 H5786 Moreover he put out [H8765] H6667 Zedekiah's H5869 eyes H631 , and bound [H8799] H5178 him with chains H935 , to carry [H8687] H894 him to Babylon.

8 H3778 And the Chaldeans H8313 burned [H8804] H4428 the king's H1004 house H1004 , and the houses H5971 of the people H784 , with fire H5422 , and brake down [H8804] H2346 the walls H3389 of Jerusalem.

9 H5018 Then Nebuzaradan H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H1540 carried away captive [H8689] H894 into Babylon H3499 the remnant H5971 of the people H7604 that remained [H8737] H5892 in the city H5307 , and those that fell away [H8802] H5307 , that fell [H8804] H3499 to him, with the rest H5971 of the people H7604 that remained [H8737] .

10 H5018 But Nebuzaradan H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H7604 left [H8689] H1800 of the poor H5971 of the people H3972 , which had nothing H776 , in the land H3063 of Judah H5414 , and gave [H8799] H3754 them vineyards H3010 and fields H3117 at the same time.

11 H5019 Now Nebuchadrezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H6680 gave charge [H8762] H3414 concerning Jeremiah H3027 to H5018 Nebuzaradan H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H559 , saying [H8800] ,

12 H3947 Take [H8798] H5869 him, and look well H7760 [H8798] H6213 to him, and do [H8799] H3972 him no harm H7451 H6213 ; but do [H8798] H1696 unto him even as he shall say [H8762] unto thee.

13 H5018 So Nebuzaradan H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H7971 sent [H8799] H5021 , and Nebushasban H7249 , Rabsaris H5371 , and Nergalsharezer H7248 , Rabmag H4428 , and all the king H894 of Babylon's H7227 princes;

14 H7971 Even they sent [H8799] H3947 , and took [H8799] H3414 Jeremiah H2691 out of the court H4307 of the prison H5414 , and committed [H8799] H1436 him unto Gedaliah H1121 the son H296 of Ahikam H1121 the son H8227 of Shaphan H3318 , that he should carry [H8687] H1004 him home H3427 : so he dwelt [H8799] H8432 among H5971 the people.

15 H1697 Now the word H3068 of the LORD H3414 came unto Jeremiah H6113 , while he was shut up [H8803] H2691 in the court H4307 of the prison H559 , saying [H8800] ,

16 H1980 Go [H8800] H559 and speak [H8804] H5663 to Ebedmelech H3569 the Ethiopian H559 , saying [H8800] H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H935 ; Behold, I will bring [H8688] H1697 my words H5892 upon this city H7451 for evil H2896 , and not for good H3117 ; and they shall be accomplished in that day H6440 before thee.

17 H5337 But I will deliver [H8689] H3117 thee in that day H5002 , saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD H5414 : and thou shalt not be given [H8735] H3027 into the hand H582 of the men H6440 of whom H3016 thou art afraid [H8801] .

18 H4422 For I will surely [H8763] H4422 deliver [H8762] H5307 thee, and thou shalt not fall [H8799] H2719 by the sword H5315 , but thy life H7998 shall be for a prey H982 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust [H8804] H5002 in me, saith [H8803] H3068 the LORD.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. ² And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. ³ And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon. ⁴ And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. ⁵ But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. ⁶ Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. ⁷ Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. ⁸ And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. ⁹ Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained. ¹⁰ But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. ¹¹ Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, ¹² Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee. ¹³ So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes; ¹⁴ Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people. ¹⁵ Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, ¹⁶ Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee. ¹⁷ But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. ¹⁸ For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
