YIRME YAH IN A PIT
And Shaphat Yah the son of Mattan and Gedal Yah the son of Pashchur and Yuchal the son of Shelem Yah and Pashchur the son of Malki Yah hear the words Yirme Yah spoke to all the people, saying, 2 Thus says Yah Veh: He who settles in this city dies by the sword by the famine and by the pestilence: and he who goes to the Kesediym lives; for his soul becomes for a spoil, and lives. 3 Thus says Yah Veh, In giving, this city is given into the hand of the valiant of the sovereign of Babel who capture it. 4 And the governors say to the sovereign, We beseech you, deathify this man: for thus he slackens the hands of the men of war who survive in this city and the hands of all the people, in wording such words to them: for this man seeks not the shalom of this people, but their evil. 5 Then Sidqi Yah the sovereign says, Behold, he is in your hand: for the sovereign cannot word against you. 6 And they take Yirme Yah and cast him into the well of Malki Yah the son of Melech in the court of the target area: and they send Yirme Yah down with cords: and there is no water in the well; only mire: and Yirme Yah sinks in the mire. 7 And Ebed Melech the Kushiy a man of the eunuchs in the house of the sovereign hears that they give Yirme Yah in the well; and the sovereign sits in the portal of Ben Yamin: 8 Ebed Melech comes from the house of the sovereign and words to the sovereign, saying, 9 O my adoni sovereign, these men vilify in all that they work to Yirme Yah the prophet - whom they cast into the well to die at the face of famine in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city. 10 And the sovereign misvahs Ebed Melech the Kushiy, saying, Take from here thirty men under your hand, and ascend Yirme Yah the prophet from the well ere he die. 11 So Ebed Melech takes the men under his hand and goes into the house of the sovereign under the treasury, and takes decayed rags and decayed rotten rags and sends them down by cords into the well to Yirme Yah. 12 And Ebed Melech the Kushiy says to Yirme Yah, Set, I beseech, these decayed rags and rotten rags under the elbow holes for your hands under the cords. - and Yirme Yah works thus. 13 And they draw up Yirme Yah with cords and ascend him from the well: and Yirme Yah settles in the court of the target area. 14 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign sends, and takes Yirme Yah the prophet to himself into the third entry in the house of Yah Veh: and the sovereign says to Yirme Yah, I ask a word of you; conceal naught from me. 15 And Yirme Yah says to Sidqi Yah, If I tell you, in deathifying, deathify you me not? And if I counsel you, you hearken not to me! 16 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign oaths covertly to Yirme Yah, saying, Yah Veh lives, who worked this soul of mine; I neither deathify you nor give you into the hand of these men who seek your soul. 17 And Yirme Yah says to Sidqi Yah, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: If in going, you go to the governors of the sovereign of Babel, your soul lives, and this city is not burned with fire; and you live - and your house: 18 and if you go not to the governors of the sovereign of Babel, then this city is given into the hand of the Kesediym and they burn it with fire; and you escape not from their hand. 19 And Sidqi Yah the sovereign says to Yirme Yah, I am concerned for the Yah Hudiym who fell to the Kesediym; lest they give me into their hand and they exploit me. 20 And Yirme Yah says, They give you not. Hear, I beseech you, the voice of Yah Veh that I word to you: so it well-pleases you, and your soul lives. 21 And if you refuse to go, this is the word Yah Veh shows me: 22 and behold, they bring all the women who survive in the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah to the governors of the sovereign of Babel; and they say, Your men of shalom goaded you and prevailed against you: your feet have sunk in the mire, and they apostatized backward. 23 And they bring all your women and your sons to the Kesediym: and you escape not from their hand, for you are apprehended by the hand of the sovereign of Babel: and this city is burned with fire. 24 Then Sidqi Yah says to Yirme Yah, No man is to know of these words; and you die not: 25 and if the governors hear that I worded with you, and they come to you, and say to you, Tell us, I beseech, what you worded to the sovereign; conceal not from us; and we deathify you not; and what the sovereign worded to you: 26 then you say to them, I presented my supplication at the face of the sovereign, that he not return me to the house of Yah Nathan to die there. 27 And all the governors come to Yirme Yah, and ask him: and he tells them according to all these words the sovereign misvahed: and they hush; for they hear not the word: 28 and Yirme Yah settles in the court of the target area until the day Yeru Shalem is captured: and he is there when Yeru Shalem is captured.
