Jer 19:3 and shall say, ‘Hear the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, O sovereigns of Yahudah and inhabitants of Yarushalam. Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “See, I am bringing evil on this place, that makes the ears tingle of all who hear it.
Jer 19:4 “Because they have forsaken Me and have profaned this place, and have burned incense in it to other mighty ones whom neither they, their fathers, nor the sovereigns of Yahudah have known, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocents,
Jer 19:5 and have built the high places of Ba'aul, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Ba'aul, which I did not command or speak, nor did it come into My heart.
Jer 19:6 “Therefore see, the days are coming,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “that this place shall no more be called Thaphath or the Valley of the Son of Hanam, but rather the Valley of Slaughter.
Jer 19:7 “And I shall pour out the counsel of Yahudah and Yarushalam in this place, and I shall make them fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their lives. And I shall give their corpses as meat for the birds of the shamiym and for the beasts of the earth.
Jer 19:8 “And I shall make this city a ruin, and a hissing – everyone who passes by it is appalled and hisses because of all its plagues.

Jer 19:10 “And you shall break the jug before the eyes of the men who go with you,
Jer 19:11 and shall say to them, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, “Even so I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, which one is unable to repair again. And let them bury them in Thaphath till there is no place to bury.
Jer 19:12 “This is what I shall do to this place,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city like Thaphath.
Jer 19:13 “And the houses of Yarushalam and the houses of the sovereigns of Yahudah shall be as unclean as the place of Thaphath, because of all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of the shamiym, and poured out drink offerings to other mighty ones.” ’ ”
Jer 19:14 And when YaramYahu returned from Thaphath, where 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had sent him to prophesy, he stood in the courtyard of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and said to all the people,
Jer 19:15 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘See, I am bringing on this city and on all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to hear My words.’ ”
Jer 20:1 And Phashchur son of Amar, the priest who was also chief governor in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, heard that YaramYahu prophesied these words,
Jer 20:2 And Phashchur smote YaramYahu the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Banyaman, which was by the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 20:3 And it came to be on the next day that Phashchur brought YaramYahu out of the stocks, and YaramYahu said to him, “ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has not called your name Phashchur, but Magur-Masabib.
Jer 20:4 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘See, I am making you a fear to yourself and to all your friends. And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, while your eyes see it. And I shall give all Yahudah into the hand of the sovereign of Babal, and he shall exile them to Babalah and slay them with the sword.
Jer 20:5 ‘And I shall give all the wealth of this city and all its labor, and all its valuables, and all the treasures of the sovereigns of Yahudah, I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them, seize them, and shall bring them to Babalah.

Jer 20:7 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, You enticed me, and I was enticed. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have been ridiculed all day long, everyone mocks me.
Jer 20:8 For when I speak, I cry out, proclaiming violence and ruin. Because the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was made to me a reproach and a derision daily.
Jer 20:9 Whenever I said, “Let me not mention Him, nor speak in His Name again,” it was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I became weary of holding it back, and was helpless.
Jer 20:10 For I heard many mocking, “Fear on every side!” “Expose,” they say, “yea, let us expose him!” All my friends watched for my stumbling, saying, “He might be lured away, so that we prevail against him, and take our revenge on him.”
Jer 20:11 But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is with me like a mighty, awesome one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not acted wisely – an everlasting reproach never to be forgotten.
Jer 20:12 But, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, trying the righteous, and seeing the kidneys and heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to You.
Jer 20:13 Sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ! Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ! For He has delivered the being of the poor from the hand of evil ones.
Jer 20:14 Cursed be the day in which I was born! Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me!
Jer 20:15 Let the man be cursed who brought news to my father, saying, “A male child has been born to you,” making him very glad.
Jer 20:16 And let that man be like the cities which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 overthrew, and repented not. Let him hear the cry in the morning and the shouting at noon,
Jer 20:17 because I was not slain from the womb, so that my mother should have been my grave and her womb forever great.
Jer 20:18 Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
Jer 21:1 The word that came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 when Sovereign TsadaqYahu sent to him Phashchur son of MalakYahu, and TsaphanYahu the son of Ma'aushYahu, the priest, saying,
Jer 21:2 “Please inquire of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 on our behalf, for Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal has started fighting against us. It might be that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 deals with us according to all His wondrous works, so that he withdraws from us.”
Jer 21:3 But YaramYahu said to them, “Say this to TsadaqYahu,

Jer 21:13 “See, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “who are saying, ‘Who would come down against us? And who would come into our dwellings?’

Jer 26:1 In the beginning of the reign of YahuYaqiym the son of Ya'ashYahu, the sovereign of Yahudah, this word came from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
Jer 26:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘Stand in the courtyard of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and speak to all the cities of Yahudah, which come to bow themselves in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminish a word.
Jer 26:3 ‘If so be that they listen and each turn from his evil way, then I shall repent of the evil that I plan to do to them, because of the evil of their deeds.’
Jer 26:4 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My Thurath which I set before you,
Jer 26:5 to listen to the words of My servants the prophets I am sending you, even rising up early and sending them – though you have not listened –
Jer 26:6 then I shall make this house like Shalah, and make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.” ’ ”
Jer 26:7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard YaramYahu speaking these words in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 26:8 And it came to be, when YaramYahu had ended speaking all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall certainly die!
Jer 26:9 “Why have you prophesied in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shalu, and this city be dried up, without an inhabitant’?” And all the people were gathered against YaramYahu in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 26:10 And the heads of Yahudah heard this, and they came up from the sovereign’s house to the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and sat down in the entrance of the new gate of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 26:11 And the priests and the prophets spoke to the heads and all the people, saying, “A death sentence for this man! For he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
Jer 26:12 And YaramYahu spoke to all the heads and all the people, saying, “ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city with all the words you heard.
Jer 26:13 “And now, make good your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym, then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall relent concerning the evil He has pronounced against you.
Jer 26:14 “And I, look I am in your hand. Do with me as seems good and right to you.
Jer 26:15 “But know for certain that if you put me to death, you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants. For truly 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing.”
Jer 26:16 Then the heads and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “No death sentence for this man. For he has spoken to us in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym.”
Jer 26:17 And some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Jer 26:18 “MiykaYahu of Murashthiy prophesied in the days of ChazaqYahu the sovereign of Yahudah, and he spoke to all the people of Yahudah, saying, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, “Tsiyun shall become a ploughed field, and Yarushaliym be heaps, and the mountain of the House like the bare hills of the forest.” ’
Jer 26:19 “Did ChazaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah and all Yahudah indeed put him to death? Did he not fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and seek the favor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ? And the Master relented concerning the evil which He had pronounced against them. But we are doing great evil against ourselves.”
Jer 26:20 There was however a man who prophesied in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, A'urYahu the son of ShamauYahu of Qariyth Ya'auriym, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of YaramYahu.
Jer 26:21 And when YahuYaqiym the sovereign, with all his mighty men and all the heads, heard his words, the sovereign sought to put him to death. But A'urYahu heard of it, and was afraid and fled, and went to Matsriym.
Jer 26:22 Then YahuYaqiym the sovereign sent men to Matsriym: Alnathan the son of Aukbur, and some men who went with him to Matsriym.
Jer 26:23 And they brought A'urYahu from Matsriym and brought him to YahuYaqiym the sovereign, who smote him with the sword and threw his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Jer 26:24 However, the hand of Achiyqam son of Shaphan was with YaramYahu, so as not to give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jer 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of YahuYaqiym son of Ya'ashYahu, the sovereign of Yahudah, this word came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
Jer 27:2 “This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to me, ‘Make for yourselves bands and yokes. Then you shall put them on your neck,
Jer 27:3 and shall send them to the sovereign of Adum, and the sovereign of Mu'ab, and the sovereign of the Aumuniy, and the sovereign of Tsar, and the sovereign of Tsidun, by the hand of the messengers who come to Yarushalam to TsadaqYahu, the sovereign of Yahudah.
Jer 27:4 ‘And you shall command them to say to their masters, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Say this to your masters,’

Jer 27:8 ‘And it shall be, the nation and reign that do not serve Nabukadnatsar the sovereign of Babal, and the one that does not put its neck under the yoke of the sovereign of Babal, that nation I shall punish,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘with the sword, and the scarcity of food, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jer 27:9 ‘So do not listen to your prophets, or to your qasmiym, or to your dreamers, or to your observers of clouds, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “Do not serve the sovereign of Babal.”
Jer 27:10 ‘For they are prophesying falsehood to you, to remove you far from your land. And I shall drive you out, and you shall perish.

Jer 27:12 And I spoke to TsadaqYahu the sovereign of Yahudah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the sovereign of Babal, and serve him and his people, and live!
Jer 27:13 “Why should you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the scarcity of food, and by the pestilence, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has spoken against the nation that does not serve the sovereign of Babal?
Jer 27:14 “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘Do not serve the sovereign of Babal,’ for they prophesy falsehood to you,
Jer 27:15 for I have not sent them,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “yet they prophesy falsehood in My Name, in order that I drive you out. Then you shall perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
Jer 27:16 Then I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘Do not listen to the words of your prophets who are prophesying to you, saying, “See, the vessels of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 are brought back from Babal soon now,” for they prophesy falsehood to you.
Jer 27:17 ‘Do not listen to them. Serve the sovereign of Babal, and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
Jer 27:18 ‘But if they are prophets, and if the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is with them, let them now make intercession to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and in the house of the sovereign of Yahudah, and at Yarushalam, shall not go to Babalah.’
Jer 27:19 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts concerning the columns, and concerning the Sea, and concerning the stands, and concerning the remainder of the vessels which are left in this city,
Jer 27:20 which Nabukadnatsar the sovereign of Babal did not take, when he exiled YakanYahu the son of YahuYaqiym, the sovereign of Yahudah, from Yarushalam to Babalah, and all the nobles of Yahudah and Yarushalam –
Jer 27:21 thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, concerning the vessels that remain in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and in the house of the sovereign of Yahudah and of Yarushalam:
Jer 27:22 ‘They shall be brought to Babalah, and be there until the day that I visit them,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. ‘Then I shall bring them back and restore them to this place.’ ”
Jer 28:1 And it came to be in that year, at the beginning of the reign of TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that ChananYahu son of Auzur the prophet, who was from Gabau'un, spoke to me in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jer 28:2 “Thus spoke 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, saying, ‘I have broken the yoke of the sovereign of Babal.
Jer 28:3 ‘Within two years I am going to bring back to this place all the vessels of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, that Nabukadnatsar sovereign of Babal removed from this place and took to Babal.
Jer 28:4 ‘And I am going to bring back to this place YakanYahu son of YahuYaqiym, sovereign of Yahudah, with all the exiles of Yahudah who went to Babalah,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘for I am going to break the yoke of the sovereign of Babal.’ ”
Jer 28:5 Then the prophet YaramYahu spoke to the prophet ChananYahu in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
Jer 28:6 and the prophet YaramYahu said, “Aman! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 do so! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 establish your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and all the exiles from Babal to this place!
Jer 28:7 “Only, hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:
Jer 28:8 “The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many lands and great reigns, of battle and of evil and of pestilence.
Jer 28:9 “The prophet who prophesies of peace – when the word of the prophet comes to pass, that prophet is known as one whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has truly sent.”
Jer 28:10 And ChananYahu the prophet took the yoke off the prophet YaramYahu’s neck and broke it.
Jer 28:11 And ChananYahu spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘So I shall break the yoke of Nabukadnatsar sovereign of Babal from the neck of all nations within two years.’ ” And the prophet YaramYahu went his way.
Jer 28:12 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, after ChananYahu the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 28:13 “Go and speak to ChananYahu, saying, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you shall make yokes of iron instead.”
Jer 28:14 ‘For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nabukadnatsar sovereign of Babal. And they shall serve him. And I have also given him the beasts of the field.” ’ ”
Jer 28:15 And the prophet YaramYahu said to ChananYahu the prophet, “Listen, please, ChananYahu, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has not sent you, but you have made this people trust in falsehood.
Jer 28:16 “Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘See, I am sending you away from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, for you have spoken apostasy against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.’ ”
Jer 28:17 And ChananYahu the prophet died the same year, in the seventh month.
Jer 29:1 And these are the words of the letter which YaramYahu the prophet sent from Yarushalam to the rest of the elders of the exile, and to the priests, and to the prophets and to all the people whom Nabukadnatsar had exiled from Yarushalam to Babalah –
Jer 29:2 after YakanYahu the sovereign, and the sovereigness mother, and the eunuchs, and the heads of Yahudah and Yarushalam, and the craftsmen, and the smiths had gone into exile from Yarushalam –
Jer 29:3 by the hand of Al'aushah son of Shaphan, and GamarYahu the son of ChalaqYahu, whom TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah sent to Babalah, to Nabukadnatsar the sovereign of Babal, saying,
Jer 29:4 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, Alahiym of Yashara'Al, to all the exiles whom I exiled from Yarushalam to Babalah,
Jer 29:5 ‘Build houses and dwell in them, plant gardens and eat their fruit.

Jer 29:15 “Because you have said, ‘ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has raised up prophets for us in Babalah’ –
Jer 29:16 thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 concerning the sovereign who sits on the throne of Dud, concerning all the people who dwell in this city, and concerning your brothers who have not gone out with you into exile,
Jer 29:17 thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, ‘See, I am sending on them the sword, the scarcity of food, and the pestilence. And I shall make them like spoilt figs, so spoilt as to be uneatable.

Jer 29:29 And TsaphanYahu the priest read this letter in the hearing of YaramYahu the prophet.

Jer 32:1 The word that came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the tenth year of TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah, which was the eighteenth year of Nabukadratsar.
Jer 32:2 Now at that time the army of the sovereign of Babal besieged Yarushalam, and YaramYahu the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the house of the sovereign of Yahudah.
Jer 32:3 For TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah had shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “See, I am giving this city into the hand of the sovereign of Babal, and he shall take it,
Jer 32:4 and TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah shall not escape from the hand of the Kashdiym, but certainly be given into the hand of the sovereign of Babal, and shall speak with him face to face, and see him eye to eye,
Jer 32:5 and he shall lead TsadaqYahu to Babal, and be there until I visit him,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “though you fight with the Kashdiym, you shall not prosper” ’?”
Jer 32:6 And YaramYahu said, “The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to me, saying,
Jer 32:7 ‘See, Chanam'Al son of Shalum your uncle is coming to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Aunathuth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’
Jer 32:8 “So Chanam'Al my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Aunathuth, which is in the land of Banyamin, for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption. Buy it for yourself.’ And I knew that this was the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 32:9 “And I bought the field which was at Aunathuth from Chanam'Al, my uncle’s son, and weighed out to him the silver, seventeen shaqals of silver.
Jer 32:10 “And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the silver in the scales.
Jer 32:11 “Then I took the deed of purchase – that which was sealed according to the command and law, and that which was open –
Jer 32:12 and I gave the deed of purchase to Baruk son of NarYahu, son of MachasYahu, in the presence of Chanam'Al my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Yahudiym who sat in the court of the guard.
Jer 32:13 “And I commanded Baruk before their eyes, saying,
Jer 32:14 ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “Take these deeds, both this deed of purchase which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, so that they remain many days.”
Jer 32:15 ‘For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.” ’
Jer 32:16 “And after I had given the deed of purchase to Baruk son of NarYahu, I prayed to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
Jer 32:17 ‘A'hah, Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ! See, You have made the shamiym and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is no matter too hard for You,
Jer 32:18 who show kindness to thousands, and repay the crookedness of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them – the Great, the Mighty Al, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts is His Name,
Jer 32:19 great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Jer 32:20 ‘For You have set signs and wonders in the land of Matsriym, to this day, and in Yashara'Al and among other men. And You have made Yourself a Name, as it is this day.
Jer 32:21 ‘And You have brought Your people Yashara'Al out of the land of Matsriym with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great fearsome deeds.
Jer 32:22 ‘And You gave them this land, of which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Jer 32:23 ‘And they came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice nor did they walk in Your Thurah. They did not do all that You commanded them to do, so You brought all this evil upon them.
Jer 32:24 ‘See the siege mounds! They have come to the city to take it. And the city has been given into the hand of the Kashdiym who fight against it, because of the sword and the scarcity of food and the pestilence. And what You have spoken has come about, and look, You see it!
Jer 32:25 ‘Yet You, O Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, have said to me, “Buy the field for silver, and take witnesses”! although the city has been given into the hand of the Kashdiym.’ ”
Jer 32:26 Then the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 32:27 “See, I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of all flesh. Is there any matter too hard for Me?”
Jer 32:28 Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “See, I am giving this city into the hand of the Kashdiym, into the hand of Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal, and he shall take it.
Jer 32:29 “And the Kashdiym who fight against this city shall come and set fire to this city and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Ba'aul and poured out drink offerings to other mighty ones, to provoke Me.
Jer 32:30 “For the children of Yashara'Al and the children of Yahudah have done only evil before Me, from their youth. For the children of Yashara'Al have only provoked Me with the work of their hands,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 32:31 “For this city has been a cause for My displeasure and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day that I should remove it from before My face,
Jer 32:32 because of all the evil of the children of Yashara'Al and the children of Yahudah, which they have done to provoke Me – they, their sovereigns, their heads, their priests, their prophets, and the men of Yahudah, and the inhabitants of Yarushalam.
Jer 32:33 “And they have turned their back to Me, and not their face – though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, they did not listen to receive instruction.
Jer 32:34 “And they set their abominations in the house which is called by My Name, to defile it.
Jer 32:35 “And they built the high places of Ba'aul which are in the Valley of the Son of Hanam, to offer up their sons and their daughters to Malak, which I did not command them, nor did it come into My heart, that they should do this abomination, to make Yahudah sin.
Jer 32:36 “And now, thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It shall be given into the hand of the sovereign of Babal by the sword, and by scarcity of food, and by pestilence’:
Jer 32:37 ‘See, I am gathering them out of all the lands where I have driven them in My displeasure, and in My wrath, and in great rage. And I shall bring them back to this place, and shall let them dwell in safety.
Jer 32:38 ‘And they shall be My people, and I shall be their Alahiym.
Jer 32:39 ‘And I shall give them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and of their children after them.
Jer 32:40 ‘And I shall make an everlasting covenant with them, that I do not turn back from doing good to them. And I shall put My fear in their hearts so as not to turn aside from Me.
Jer 32:41 ‘And I shall rejoice over them to do good to them, and shall plant them in this land in truth, with all My heart and with all My being.’
Jer 32:42 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘As I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking to them.
Jer 32:43 ‘And fields shall be bought in this land of which you are saying, “It is a wasteland, without man or beast. It has been given into the hand of the Kashdiym.”
Jer 32:44 ‘Fields shall be bought for silver, and deeds signed and sealed, and witnesses be called, in the land of Banyaman, and in the places around Yarushalam, and in the cities of Yahudah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the low country, and in the cities of the South. For I shall turn back their captivity,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.”
Jer 33:1 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Jer 33:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who made it, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who formed it to establish it, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is His Name,
Jer 33:3 ‘Call unto Me, and I shall answer you, and show you great and inaccessible matters, which you have not known.’
Jer 33:4 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the sovereigns of Yahudah, which are thrown down against the siege mounds and the sword,
Jer 33:5 while coming to fight with the Kashdiym, and to fill their places with the corpses of men whom I shall slay in My displeasure and My wrath, all for whose evil I have hidden My face from this city.
Jer 33:6 ‘See, I am bringing to it relief and healing. And I shall heal them and reveal to them the riches of peace and truth.
Jer 33:7 ‘And I shall turn back the captivity of Yahudah and the captivity of Yashara'Al, and shall build them as at the first,
Jer 33:8 and shall cleanse them from all their crookedness that they have sinned against Me. And I shall pardon all their crookednesses that they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me.
Jer 33:9 ‘And it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and a pride before all nations of the earth, who hear all the good I am doing to them, and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the peace I am doing to it.’
Jer 33:10 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘In this place of which you say, “It is dried up, without man and without beast,” in the cities of Yahudah, in the streets of Yarushalam that are deserted, without man and without inhabitant and without beast, there shall once again be heard
Jer 33:11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who are saying, “Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is good, for His kindness is forever,” of those who are bringing the offering of praise into the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. For I shall turn back the captivity of the land, as at the first,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 33:12 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, ‘In this place which is dried up, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall once again be a home of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Jer 33:13 ‘In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the low country, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Banyaman, and in the places around Yarushalam, and in the cities of Yahudah, the flocks once again pass under the hands of him who counts them,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 33:14 ‘See, the days are coming,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘when I shall establish the good word which I have promised to the house of Yashara'Al and to the house of Yahudah:
Jer 33:15 ‘In those days and at that time I cause a Branch of righteousness to spring forth for Dud. And He shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth.
Jer 33:16 ‘In those days Yahudah shall be saved, and Yarushalam dwell in safety. And this is that which shall be proclaimed to her: ‘ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Righteousness.’
Jer 33:17 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘For Dud there is not to cease a man to sit on the throne of the house of Yashara'Al.
Jer 33:18 ‘And for the priests, the Luiym, there is not to cease a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and to slaughter continually.’ ”
Jer 33:19 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 33:20 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘If you could break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there be not day and night in their season,
Jer 33:21 then My covenant could also be broken with Dud My servant – so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne – and with the Luiym, the priests, My attendants.
Jer 33:22 ‘As the host of the shamiym is not counted, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I increase the descendants of Dud My servant and the Luiym who attend upon Me.’ ”
Jer 33:23 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 33:24 “Have you not observed what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two clans which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has chosen have been rejected by Him’? So they have despised My people, no more to be a nation before them.
Jer 33:25 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the laws of the shamiym and earth,
Jer 33:26 then I would also reject the descendants of Ya'auqub and Dud My servant, so that I should not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Yatschaq, and Ya'auqab. For I shall turn back their captivity, and have compassion on them.’ ”
Jer 34:1 The word which came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, when Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal and all his army, and all the reigns of the earth under his rule, and all the people, fought against Yarushalam and all its cities, saying,
Jer 34:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Go and speak to TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah and say to him, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘See, I am giving this city into the hand of the sovereign of Babal. And he shall burn it with fire,
Jer 34:3 and you shall not escape out of his hand, but certainly be taken and given into his hand. And your eyes shall see the eyes of the sovereign of Babal, and his mouth shall speak with your mouth, and you shall go to Babal.’ ” ’
Jer 34:4 “But hear the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, O TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah! Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 concerning you, ‘You shall not die by the sword.
Jer 34:5 ‘In peace you are to die, and as in the burnings of spices for your fathers, the former sovereigns who were before you, so they shall burn spices for you and lament for you, saying, “Huiy, master!” ’ For I have spoken the word,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 34:6 And YaramYahu the prophet spoke all these words to TsadaqYahu the sovereign of Yahudah in Yarushalam,
Jer 34:7 while the sovereign of Babal’s army was fighting against Yarushalam and all the cities of Yahudah that were left, against Lakish and Auzaqah. For only these walled cities remained of the cities of Yahudah.
Jer 34:8 The word which came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, after Sovereign TsadaqYahu had made a covenant with all the people who were at Yarushalam to proclaim release to them:
Jer 34:9 that everyone was to set free his male and female slave, the Hebrew man and the Hebrew woman, no one was to keep a Yahudiy, his brother, enslaved.
Jer 34:10 And when all the heads and all the people who had come into the covenant heard that each one was to set free his male and female slaves, and not keep them enslaved any longer, they obeyed and released them.
Jer 34:11 But afterward they changed their minds and made the male and female slaves return, whom they had set free, and brought them into subjection as male and female slaves.
Jer 34:12 Therefore the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
Jer 34:13 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘I Myself made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Matsriym, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Jer 34:14 “At the end of seven years each one should set free his Hebrew brother, who has been sold to him. And when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you.” But your fathers did not obey Me nor incline their ear.
Jer 34:15 ‘And you recently turned and did what was right in My eyes, each man proclaiming release to his neighbor. And you made a covenant before Me in the house which is called by My Name.
Jer 34:16 ‘But you turned back and profaned My Name, and each one of you took back his male and female slaves, whom he had set free, at their pleasure, and brought them into subjection, to be your male and female slaves.’
Jer 34:17 “Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming release, each one to his brother and each one to his neighbor. See, I am proclaiming release to you,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the scarcity of food! And I shall make you a horror to all reigns of the earth.
Jer 34:18 ‘And I shall give the men who are transgressing My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it:
Jer 34:19 the heads of Yahudah, and the heads of Yarushalam, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf.
Jer 34:20 ‘And I shall give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. And their corpses shall be for food to the birds of the shamiym and the beasts of the earth.
Jer 34:21 ‘And I shall give TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah and his heads into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the sovereign of Babal’s army that has withdrawn from you.
Jer 34:22 ‘See, I am commanding,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘and shall bring them back to this city, and they shall fight against it and take it and burn it with fire. And I shall make the cities of Yahudah a ruin without inhabitant.’ ”
Jer 35:1 The word which came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the days of YahuYaqiym son of Ya'ashYahu, sovereign of Yahudah, saying,
Jer 35:2 “Go to the house of the Rakabiym. And you shall speak to them, and bring them into the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”
Jer 35:3 And I took Ya'azanYahu the son of YaramYahu, the son of ChabatsanYahu, and his brothers and all his sons, and all the house of the Rakabiym,
Jer 35:4 and brought them into the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, into the room of the sons of Chanan son of YagdalYahu, a man of Alahiym, which was by the chamber of the heads, above the room of Ma'aushYahu son of Shalum, the keeper of the door.
Jer 35:5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rakabiym bowls filled with wine, and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.”
Jer 35:6 But they said, “We do not drink wine, because YahuNadab the son of Rakab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons, forever.
Jer 35:7 ‘And do not build a house, neither sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have any of these, but dwell in tents all your days, so that you live many days on the face of the land where you are sojourners.’
Jer 35:8 “So we obeyed the voice of YahuNadab son of Rakab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters,
Jer 35:9 nor to build ourselves houses to dwell in. And we have no vineyard, field or seed.
Jer 35:10 “But we dwell in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that YahuNadab our father commanded us.
Jer 35:11 “And it came to be, when Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal came up into the land, that we said, ‘Come, let us go to Yarushalam for fear of the army of the Kashdiym and for fear of the army of the Aram.’ So we dwell at Yarushalam.”
Jer 35:12 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 35:13 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Go, and you shall say to the men of Yahudah and to the inhabitants of Yarushalam, “Have you not received instruction, to obey My words?” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 35:14 “The words of YahuNadab son of Rakab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are established, and they have not drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed their father’s command. And as for Me, I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, but you have not obeyed Me.
Jer 35:15 “And I sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Turn, each one from his evil way, and make good your deeds, and do not go after other mighty ones to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.
Jer 35:16 “The sons of YahuNadab son of Rakab have indeed carried out the command of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not obeyed Me.” ’
Jer 35:17 “Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahiym of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘See, I am bringing on Yahudah and on all the inhabitants of Yarushalam all the evil I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them but they did not listen, and I have called to them but they did not answer.’ ”
Jer 35:18 And YaramYahu said to the house of the Rakabiym, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Because you have obeyed the command of YahuNadab your father, and guarded all his commands and done according to all that he commanded you,
Jer 35:19 therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “Of YahuNadab son of Rakab there shall never cease to be a man to stand before Me.” ’ ”
Jer 36:1 And it came to be in the fourth year of YahuYaqiym son of Ya'ashYahu, sovereign of Yahudah, that this word came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying,
Jer 36:2 “Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Yashara'Al, and against Yahudah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Ya'ashYahu even to this day.
Jer 36:3 “It could be that the house of Yahudah hears of all the evil which I plan to bring upon them, so that each one turns back from his evil way, and I shall pardon their crookedness and their sin.”
Jer 36:4 And YaramYahu called Baruk son of NarYahu. And Baruk wrote on a scroll from the mouth of YaramYahu, all the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 which He had spoken to him.
Jer 36:5 And YaramYahu commanded Baruk, saying, “I am shut up, I am unable to enter the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 36:6 “But you shall enter, and shall read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, in the hearing of the people in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 on the day of fasting. And also read them in the hearing of all Yahudah who come from their cities.
Jer 36:7 “It could be that they present their supplication before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and they turn back, each one from his evil way. For great is the displeasure and the wrath that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has spoken against this people.”
Jer 36:8 And Baruk son of NarYahu did according to all that YaramYahu the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 36:9 And it came to be in the fifth year of YahuYaqiym son of Ya'ashYahu, sovereign of Yahudah, in the ninth month, that they called a fast before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 to all the people in Yarushalam, and to all the people who came from the cities of Yahudah to Yarushalam.
Jer 36:10 And Baruk read from the book the words of YaramYahu in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, in the room of GamarYahu son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard at the entry of the New Gate of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, in the hearing of all the people.
Jer 36:11 And MiykaYahu son of GamarYahu, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 from the book,
Jer 36:12 And then he went down to the sovereign’s house, into the scribe’s room. And there all the heads were sitting: Aliyshamau the scribe, and DalYahu son of ShamauYahu, and Alnathan son of Aukbur, and GamarYahu son of Shaphan, and TsadaqYahu son of ChananYahu, and all the heads.
Jer 36:13 And MiykaYahu told them all the words which he heard when Baruk read the book in the hearing of the people.
Jer 36:14 Then all the heads sent Yahudiy son of NathanYahu, son of ShalamYahu, son of Kushiy, to Baruk, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruk son of NarYahu took the scroll in his hand and came to them.
Jer 36:15 And they said to him, “Sit down, please, and read it in our hearing.” Then Baruk read it in their hearing.
Jer 36:16 And it came to be, when they had heard all the words, that they looked at each other in fear, and said to Baruk, “We are certainly going to report all these words to the sovereign.”
Jer 36:17 And they asked Baruk, saying, “Please explain to us, how did you write all these words? From his mouth?”
Jer 36:18 And Baruk answered them, “From his mouth he spoke all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
Jer 36:19 Then the heads said to Baruk, “Go, hide, you and YaramYahu, and let no one know where you are.”
Jer 36:20 And they went to the sovereign, into the court. But they put the scroll in the room of Aliyshamau the scribe, and told all the words in the hearing of the sovereign.
Jer 36:21 The sovereign therefore sent Yahudiy to bring the scroll, and he took it from the room of Aliyshamau the scribe. And Yahudiy read it in the hearing of the sovereign and in the hearing of all the heads standing beside the sovereign.
Jer 36:22 And the sovereign was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him.
Jer 36:23 Then it came to be, when Yahudiy had read three or four columns, that the sovereign cut it with the scribe’s knife and threw it into the fire that was on the hearth, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire that was on the hearth.
Jer 36:24 Yet the sovereign and all his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.
Jer 36:25 Moreover, Alnathan, and DalYahu, and GamarYahu pleaded with the sovereign not to burn the scroll, but he did not listen to them.
Jer 36:26 And the sovereign commanded Yarachma'Al son of the sovereign, and SharYahu son of Auzriy'Al, and ShalamYahu son of Aubda'Al, to seize Baruk the scribe and YaramYahu the prophet, but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had hid them.
Jer 36:27 And after the sovereign had burned the scroll with the words which Baruk had written from the mouth of YaramYahu, the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 36:28 “Take another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which YahuYaqiym the sovereign of Yahudah has burned,
Jer 36:29 and say to YahuYaqiym sovereign of Yahudah, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written in it that the sovereign of Babal is certainly coming to destroy this land, and cause man and beast to cease from here?’ ”
Jer 36:30 ‘Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 concerning YahuYaqiym sovereign of Yahudah, “He shall have no one to sit on the throne of Dud, and his dead body is to be thrown out, to the heat of the day and the frost of the night.
Jer 36:31 “And I shall punish him, and his seed, and his servants for their crookedness. And I shall bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Yarushalam, and on the men of Yahudah all the evil I have spoken against them. But they did not listen.” ’ ”
Jer 36:32 So YaramYahu took another scroll and gave it to Baruk the scribe, son of NarYahu, who wrote on it from the mouth of YaramYahu all the words of the book which YahuYaqiym sovereign of Yahudah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
Jer 37:1 And Sovereign TsadaqYahu son of Ya'ashYahu reigned instead of KanYahu son of YahuYaqiym, whom Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal set up to reign in the land of Yahudah.
Jer 37:2 But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land had listened to the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 which He spoke by the prophet YaramYahu.
Jer 37:3 And TsadaqYahu the sovereign sent YahuKal son of ShalamYahu, and the priest, TsaphanYahu son of Ma'aushYahu, to the prophet YaramYahu, saying, “Please pray to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym for us.”
Jer 37:4 Now YaramYahu was still coming and going among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison.
Jer 37:5 Meanwhile, Pharauh’s army had set out from Matsriym. And when the Kashdiym who were besieging Yarushalam heard news of them, they withdrew from Yarushalam.
Jer 37:6 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu the prophet, saying,
Jer 37:7 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Say this to the sovereign of Yahudah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me, “See, Pharauh’s army which has come up to help you, shall turn back to Matsriym, to their own land.
Jer 37:8 “And the Kashdiym shall return and fight against this city, and take it and burn it with fire.” ’
Jer 37:9 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Kashdiym shall go away from us,” for they do not go.
Jer 37:10 ‘For though you had smitten the entire army of the Kashdiym who are fighting against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would get up, each man in his tent, and burn the city with fire.’ ”
Jer 37:11 And it came to be, when the army of the Kashdiym left the siege of Yarushalam for fear of Pharauh’s army,
Jer 37:12 that YaramYahu went out of Yarushalam to go into the land of Banyaman to receive his portion there in the midst of the people.
Jer 37:13 And it came to be, as he was in the gate of Banyaman, a master of the guard was there whose name was YaraiYahu son of ShalamYahu, son of ChananYahu. And he seized YaramYahu the prophet, saying, “You are deserting to the Kashdiym!”
Jer 37:14 But YaramYahu said, “It is a lie! I am not deserting to the Kashdiym.” But he did not listen to him, and YaraiyYahu seized YaramYahu and brought him to the heads.
Jer 37:15 And the heads were wroth with YaramYahu, and smote him and put him in prison in the house of YahuNathan the scribe. For they had made that for a prison.
Jer 37:16 When YaramYahu had entered into the dungeon and into the cells, then YaramYahu remained there many days.
Jer 37:17 And TsadaqYahu the sovereign sent and took him out. And the sovereign asked him secretly in his house, and said, “Is there any word from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 ?” And YaramYahu said, “There is.” And he said, “You are given into the hand of the sovereign of Babal!”
Jer 37:18 And YaramYahu said to TsadaqYahu the sovereign, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into prison?
Jer 37:19 “Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The sovereign of Babal is not coming against you or against this land?’
Jer 37:20 “But now, please hear, O my master the sovereign. Please, let my petition be accepted before you, and do not make me return to the house of YahuNathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
Jer 37:21 TsadaqYahu the sovereign then gave orders for YaramYahu to be placed in the court of the guard, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. So YaramYahu remained in the court of the guard.
Jer 38:1 And ShaphatYahu son of Mathan, and GadalYahu son of Phashchur, and YahuKal son of ShalamYahu, and Phashchur son of MalakYahu heard the words which YaramYahu had spoken to all the people, saying,
Jer 38:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by scarcity of food, and by pestilence, but whoever goes over to the Kashdiym shall live. And his life shall be as a prize to him, and he shall live.’
Jer 38:3 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘This city is certainly given into the hand of the sovereign of Babal’s army, and he shall take it.’ ”
Jer 38:4 Then the heads said to the sovereign, “Please, let this man be put to death, because he is weakening the hands of the men of battle who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the peace of this people, but the evil.”
Jer 38:5 And TsadaqYahu the sovereign said, “Look, he is in your hand. For the sovereign is unable to do any matter against you.”
Jer 38:6 And they took YaramYahu and threw him into the dungeon of MalakYahu the sovereign’s son, which was in the court of the guard, and they let YaramYahu down with ropes. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mud. So YaramYahu sank in the mud.
Jer 38:7 And Aubad-Malak the Kushiy, one of the eunuchs, who was in the sovereign’s house, heard that they had put YaramYahu in the dungeon. And the sovereign was sitting at the Gate of Banyaman,
Jer 38:8 And Aubad-Malak came from the sovereign’s house and spoke to the sovereign, saying,
Jer 38:9 “My master the sovereign, these men have done evil in all that they have done to YaramYahu the prophet, whom they have thrown into the dungeon, and he is likely to die from hunger in the place where he is, for there is no more bread in the city.”
Jer 38:10 And the sovereign commanded Aubad-Malak the Kushiy, saying, “Take thirty men from here with you, and lift YaramYahu the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies.”
Jer 38:11 So Aubad-Malak took the men with him and went into the house of the sovereign under the treasury, and took old clothes and old rags from there, and let them down by ropes into the dungeon to YaramYahu.
Jer 38:12 And Aubad-Malak the Kushiy said to YaramYahu, “Please put these old clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes.” And YaramYahu did so,
Jer 38:13 and they pulled YaramYahu up with ropes and lifted him out of the dungeon. And YaramYahu remained in the court of the guard.
Jer 38:14 Then TsadaqYahu the sovereign sent and had YaramYahu the prophet brought to him at the third entrance of the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. And the sovereign said to YaramYahu, “I am asking you a matter. Do not hide a matter from me.”
Jer 38:15 And YaramYahu said to TsadaqYahu, “If I declare it to you, shall you not put me to death? And if I give you advice, you shall not listen to me.”
Jer 38:16 But TsadaqYahu the sovereign swore secretly to YaramYahu, saying, “As 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 lives, who made us this life, I do not put you to death, nor do I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.”
Jer 38:17 And YaramYahu said to TsadaqYahu, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘If you do indeed surrender to the heads of the sovereign of Babal, then your being shall live, and this city not be burned with fire. And you and your house shall live.
Jer 38:18 ‘But if you do not surrender to the heads of the sovereign of Babal, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Kashdiym, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hand.’ ”
Jer 38:19 Then TsadaqYahu the sovereign said to YaramYahu, “I am afraid of the Yahudiym who have gone over to the Kashdiym, lest they give me into their hand, and they maltreat me.”
Jer 38:20 But YaramYahu said, “They shall not hand you over. Please, obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 which I speak to you, and let it be well with you, and your life be spared.
Jer 38:21 “But if you refuse to surrender, this is the word that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has shown me:
Jer 38:22 ‘Then see, all the women who are left in the sovereign of Yahudah’s house shall be surrendered to the heads of the sovereign of Babal, and see, they are saying, “Your close friends have set upon you and prevailed against you; your feet have sunk in the mire; they have turned away again.”
Jer 38:23 ‘And they are going to surrender all your wives and children to the Kashdiym, and you yourself shall not escape from their hand, but be taken by the hand of the sovereign of Babal, and this city shall be burned with fire.’ ”
Jer 38:24 Then TsadaqYahu said to YaramYahu, “Let no one know of these words, and you shall not die.
Jer 38:25 “But if the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the sovereign, and also what the sovereign said to you. Do not hide it from us, and we do not put you to death,’
Jer 38:26 then you shall say to them, ‘I presented my petition before the sovereign, not to send me back to the house of YahuNathan to die there.’ ”
Jer 38:27 And all the heads came to YaramYahu and asked him. And he informed them according to all these words that the sovereign had commanded. And they said no more to him, for the matter was not heard.
Jer 38:28 So YaramYahu remained in the court of the guard until the day that Yarushalam was taken, and he was there when Yarushalam was taken.
Jer 39:1 In the ninth year of TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah, in the tenth month, Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal and all his army came against Yarushalam, and besieged it.
Jer 39:2 In the eleventh year of TsadaqYahu, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
Jer 39:3 And all the heads of the sovereign of Babal came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nargal-Shar'atsar, Samgar-Nabu, Sharsakiym, Rab-Saris, Nargal-Sharatsar, Rab-Mag, and all the rest of the heads of the sovereign of Babal.
Jer 39:4 And it came to be, when TsadaqYahu the sovereign of Yahudah and all the men of battle saw them, they fled and left the city by night, by way of the sovereign’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out toward the desert plain.
Jer 39:5 But the army of the Kashdiym pursued them and overtook TsadaqYahu in the desert plains of Yarachu. And they captured him, and brought him up to Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal, to Rablah in the land of Chamath, where he spoke judgment on him.
Jer 39:6 And the sovereign of Babal slew the sons of TsadaqYahu before his eyes in Rablah. The sovereign of Babal also slew all the nobles of Yahudah.
Jer 39:7 And he put out the eyes of TsadaqYahu, and bound him with bronze shackles to bring him to Babalah.
Jer 39:8 And the Kashdiym burned the house of the sovereign and the houses of the people with fire, and they broke down the walls of Yarushalam.
Jer 39:9 And Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, exiled to Babal the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who defected to him, with the rest of the people who were left.
Jer 39:10 But Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, left in the land of Yahudah the poor people, who had naught whatever, and gave them vineyards and fields on the same day.
Jer 39:11 And Nabukadratsar the sovereign of Babal gave an order concerning YaramYahu to Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, saying,
Jer 39:12 “Take him and look after him, and do no harm whatsoever to him, but do to him even as he shall speak to you.”
Jer 39:13 And Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, and Nabushazban the Rab-Saris, Nargal-Shar'atsar the Rab-Mag, and all the sovereign of Babal’s chief officers sent,
Jer 39:14 and had YaramYahu taken from the court of the guard, and gave him to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan, to take him home. And he dwelt among the people.
Jer 39:15 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had come to YaramYahu while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Jer 39:16 “Go, and you shall speak to Aubad-Malak the Kushiy, saying, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “See, I am bringing My words upon this city for evil and not for good, and they shall be before you in that day.
Jer 39:17 “And I shall deliver you in that day,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “so that you are not given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Jer 39:18 “For I shall rescue you, and you shall not fall by the sword. But your life shall be as a prize to you, for you have put your trust in Me,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.’ ”
Jer 40:1 The word that came to YaramYahu from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 after Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all the exiles from Yarushalam and Yahudah, who were being exiled to Babalah.
Jer 40:2 And the chief of the guard took YaramYahu and said to him, “ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym has spoken this evil on this place.
Jer 40:3 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has brought it on, and has done, as He has said. Because you have sinned against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and did not obey His voice, therefore this matter has come upon you.
Jer 40:4 “And now, see, I loosen you today from the chains that were on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babal, come, and I shall look after you. But if it seems wrong for you to come with me to Babal, remain here. See, all the land is before you, go wherever it seems good and right for you to go.”
Jer 40:5 And before he replied, Nabuzaradan said, “Or go back to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan, whom the sovereign of Babal has made governor over the cities of Yahudah, and dwell with him among the people, or go wherever it seems right for you to go.” And the chief of the guard gave him provisions and a gift and let him go.
Jer 40:6 So YaramYahu went to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, to Matsphathah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.
Jer 40:7 And all the commanders of the armies who were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the sovereign of Babal had made GadalYahu son of Achiyqam governor in the land, and had put him in charge of the men, and women, and children, and the poor of the land who had not been exiled to Babalah.
Jer 40:8 So they came to GadalYahu at Matsphathah – Yashamau'Al the son of NathanYahu, and YahuChanan and YahuNathan the sons of Qarach, and SharYahu the son of Thanchamath, and the sons of Au'uphiy the Nataphathiy and YazanYahu the son of a Mau'kathiy, they and their men.
Jer 40:9 And GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan, swore to them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Kashdiym. Dwell in the land and serve the sovereign of Babal, and it shall be well with you.
Jer 40:10 “And I, see, I am dwelling at Matsphah, to serve the Kashdiym who come to us. But you, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities which you have taken.”
Jer 40:11 Also, when all the Yahudiym who were in Mu'ab, and among the Aumuniy, and in Adum, and who were in all the lands, heard that the sovereign of Babal had left a remnant of Yahudah, and that he had set over them GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan,
Jer 40:12 then all the Yahudiym returned from all the places where they had been driven, and came to the land of Yahudah, to GadalYahu at Matsphathah, and gathered wine and summer fruit in large quantities.
Jer 40:13 And YahuChanan son of Qarach and all the commanders of the army that were in the fields came to GadalYahu at Matsphathah,
Jer 40:14 and they said to him, “Do you know that Ba'aulis sovereign of the Aumuniy has sent Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu to take your life?” But GadalYahu son of Achiyqam would not believe them.
Jer 40:15 Then YahuChanan son of Qarach spoke secretly to GadalYahu in Matsphah, saying, “Please let me go and smite Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu, without anyone knowing it. Why should he murder you, and so let all the Yahudiym who are gathered to you be scattered, and the remnant in Yahudah perish?”
Jer 40:16 But GadalYahu son of Achiyqam said to YahuChanan son of Qarach, “Do not do this matter, for what you are saying about Yashamau'Al is not true.”
Jer 41:1 And in the seventh month it came to be that Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu, son of Aliyshamau, of the royal seed, and of the officers of the sovereign, came with ten men to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, at Matsphah. And while they ate bread together there in Matsphah,
Jer 41:2 Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu, and the ten men who were with him, arose and smote GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the sovereign of Babal had made governor over the land.
Jer 41:3 And Yashamau'Al smote all the Yahudiym who were with him, with GadalYahu at Matsphah, and the Kashdiym who were found there, the men of battle.
Jer 41:4 And it came to be, on the second day after he had killed GadalYahu, when no one yet knew it,
Jer 41:5 that men came from Shakam, from Shalu, and from Shamarun, eighty men with their beards shaved and their garments torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
Jer 41:6 And Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu went out from Matsphah to meet them, weeping as he walked along. And it came to be, as he met them, that he said to them, “Come to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam!”
Jer 41:7 And it came to be, when they came inside the city, that Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu slew them, throwing them into a pit, he and the men who were with him.
Jer 41:8 But ten men were found among them who said to Yashamau'Al, “Do not kill us, for we have wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey hidden in the field.” So he held back and did not kill them among their brothers.
Jer 41:9 And the pit into which Yashamau'Al had thrown all the corpses of the men whom he had slain, because of GadalYahu, was the same one Asa the sovereign had made for fear of Ba'ausha sovereign of Yashara'Al – Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu had filled it with the slain.
Jer 41:10 Then Yashamau'Al took captive all the rest of the people who were in Matsphah, the sovereign’s daughters and all the people who were left in Matsphah, whom Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, had entrusted to GadalYahu son of Achiyqam. And Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu took them captive and went to go over to the Aumuniy.
Jer 41:11 But YahuChanan son of Qarach and all the commanders of the army that were with him heard of all the evil that Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu had done,
Jer 41:12 so they took all the men and went to fight with Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu. And they found him by the great pool that is in Gabau'un.
Jer 41:13 And it came to be, when all the people who were with Yashamau'Al saw YahuChanan son of Qarach, and all the commanders of the army who were with him, that they were glad.
Jer 41:14 And all the people whom Yashamau'Al had taken captive from Matsphah turned around, and came back, and went to YahuChanan son of Qarach.
Jer 41:15 But Yashamau'Al the son of NathanYahu escaped from YahuChanan with eight men and went to the Aumuniy.
Jer 41:16 Then YahuChanan son of Qarach, and all the commanders of the army that were with him, took from Matsphah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu after he had murdered GadalYahu son of Achiyqam – the mighty men of battle and the women and the children and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gabau'un.
Jer 41:17 And they set out and dwelt in the lodging place of Kamuham, which is near Biyth Lacham, to go to enter Matsriym,
Jer 41:18 because of the Kashdiym. For they were afraid of them, because Yashamau'Al son of NathanYahu had smitten GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, whom the sovereign of Babal had made governor in the land.
Jer 42:1 Then all the commanders of the army, and YahuChanan son of Qarach, and YazanYahu son of HushaYahu, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came near
Jer 42:2 and said to YaramYahu the prophet, “We beg you, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym, for all this remnant, for we are few left of many, as your eyes see us.
Jer 42:3 “And let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym show us the way in which we should walk and the word we should do.”
Jer 42:4 And YaramYahu the prophet said to them, “I have heard. See, I am praying to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym according to your words, and it shall be that I declare to you all the word 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 answers you. I withhold not a word from you.”
Jer 42:5 And they said to YaramYahu, “Let 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 be a true and steadfast witness between us, if we do not do according to all the word which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym sends us by you.
Jer 42:6 “Whether good or evil, let us obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym to whom we send you, in order that it might be well with us when we obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym.”
Jer 42:7 And after ten days it came to be that the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu.
Jer 42:8 So he called YahuChanan son of Qarach, and all the commanders of the army which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Jer 42:9 and said to them, “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him,
Jer 42:10 ‘If you would indeed stay in this land, then I shall build you and not pull you down, and I shall plant you and not pluck you up. For I have relented of the evil I have done to you.
Jer 42:11 ‘Do not be afraid of the sovereign of Babal, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of him,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand.
Jer 42:12 ‘And I shall show you compassion, so that he has compassion on you and let you return to your own land.’
Jer 42:13 “But if you say, ‘We are not staying in this land,’ and so disobey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym,
Jer 42:14 saying, ‘No, but we are going to the land of Matsriym so that we see no fighting, nor hear the sound of the shuphar, nor hunger for bread, and there we shall stay,’
Jer 42:15 then hear the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, O remnant of Yahudah! Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter Matsriym, and shall go to sojourn there,
Jer 42:16 then it shall be that the sword which you feared overtakes you there in the land of Matsriym, and the scarcity of food of which you were afraid clings to you there in Matsriym, and you die there.
Jer 42:17 ‘And so it shall be with all the men who set their faces to go to Matsriym to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by scarcity of food, and by pestilence, and not one of them shall survive or escape from the evil I am bringing upon them.’
Jer 42:18 “For thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘As My displeasure and My wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Yarushalam, so shall My wrath be poured out on you when you enter Matsriym. And you shall be an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach, and you shall see this place no more.’
Jer 42:19 “ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has spoken about you, O remnant of Yahudah, ‘Do not go to Matsriym!’ Know for certain that I have warned you this day.
Jer 42:20 “For you deceived yourselves when you sent me to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym, saying, ‘Pray for us to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym, and according to all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym says, so declare to us and we shall do it.’
Jer 42:21 “So I have declared it to you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym in all which He has sent me to you.
Jer 42:22 “And now, know for certain that you shall die by the sword, by scarcity of food, and by pestilence in the place where you have desired to go to sojourn.”
Jer 43:1 And it came to be, when YaramYahu had ended speaking all these words to all the people – all the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 their Alahiym, for which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 their Alahiym had sent him to them –
Jer 43:2 that AuzarYahu son of HushaYahu, and YahuChanan son of Qarach, and all the proud men spoke, saying to YaramYahu, “You are speaking a lie! 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 our Alahiym has not sent you to say, ‘Do not go to Matsriym to sojourn there.’
Jer 43:3 “For Baruk son of NarYahu is moving you against us, to give us into the hand of the Kashdiym, to put us to death or exile us to Babal.”
Jer 43:4 So YahuChanan son of Qarach, and all the commanders of the army, and all the people disobeyed the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to stay in the land of Yahudah.
Jer 43:5 And YahuChanan son of Qarach and all the commanders of the army took all the remnant of Yahudah who had returned to dwell in the land of Yahudah, from all nations where they had been driven –
Jer 43:6 the men, and the women, and the children, and the sovereign’s daughters, and every being whom Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, had left with GadalYahu son of Achiyqam, son of Shaphan, and YaramYahu the prophet, and Baruk son of NarYahu.
Jer 43:7 So they went to the land of Matsriym, for they disobeyed the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. And they went as far as Thachphanchas.
Jer 43:8 And the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 came to YaramYahu in Thachphanchas, saying,
Jer 43:9 “Take large stones in your hand, and you shall hide them before the eyes of the men of Yahudah, in the clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharauh’s house in Thachphanchas.
Jer 43:10 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, “See, I am sending, and I shall bring Nabukadratsar the sovereign of Babal, My servant. And I shall set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he shall spread his canopy over them.
Jer 43:11 “And he shall come and smite the land of Matsriym, bringing death to those appointed for death, and captivity to those for captivity, and the sword to those for the sword.
Jer 43:12 “And he shall set fire to the houses of the mighty ones of Matsriym. And he shall burn them and take them captive. And he shall cover himself with the land of Matsriym, as a shepherd puts on his garment, and he shall go out from there in peace.
Jer 43:13 “And he shall break the stone pillars of the House of the Sun which are in the land of Matsriym, and he shall burn the houses of the mighty ones of the Matsriym with fire.” ’ ”
Jer 44:1 The word that came to YaramYahu concerning all the Yahudiym who were dwelling in the land of Matsriym – who were dwelling at Magdal, and at Thachphanchas, and at Naph, and in the land of Phathrus, saying,
Jer 44:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘You yourselves have seen all the evil that I have brought on Yarushalam and on all the cities of Yahudah. And see, this day they are a ruin, and no one dwells in them,
Jer 44:3 because of their evil which they have done to provoke Me, by going to burn incense by serving other mighty ones whom they did not know, they nor you nor your fathers.
Jer 44:4 ‘And I sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, “Please do not do this abominable matter that I hate!”
Jer 44:5 ‘But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their evil, not to burn incense to other mighty ones.
Jer 44:6 ‘So My wrath and My displeasure were poured out and burned in the cities of Yahudah and in the streets of Yarushalam, and they became a ruin and a wasteland, as it is this day.’
Jer 44:7 “And now, thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘Why are you doing this great evil against your lives, to cut off from you man and woman, child and infant, from the midst of Yahudah, leaving none to remain,
Jer 44:8 by provoking Me with the works of your hands, by burning incense to other mighty ones in the land of Matsriym where you have gone to dwell, to cut yourselves off and be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Jer 44:9 ‘Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the sovereigns of Yahudah, and the evils of their wives, and your own evils, and the evils of your wives, which they have done in the land of Yahudah and in the streets of Yarushalam?
Jer 44:10 ‘To this day they have not been humbled, nor have they feared, nor have they walked in My Thurath and in My laws that I set before you and your fathers.’
Jer 44:11 “Therefore thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, ‘See, I am setting My face against you for evil and for cutting off all Yahudah.
Jer 44:12 ‘And I shall take the remnant of Yahudah who have set their faces to go into the land of Matsriym to sojourn there. And they shall all be consumed in the land of Matsriym – fall by the sword, consumed by scarcity of food. From the least to the greatest they shall die, by the sword and by scarcity of food. And they shall be an oath and an astonishment and a curse and a reproach!
Jer 44:13 ‘And I shall punish those dwelling in the land of Matsriym, as I have punished Yarushalam, by the sword, by scarcity of food, and by pestilence.
Jer 44:14 ‘And none of the remnant of Yahudah who have gone into the land of Matsriym to sojourn there shall escape or survive, lest they return to the land of Yahudah, to which they are longing to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, except those who escape.’ ”
Jer 44:15 Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other mighty ones, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, and all the people who dwelt in the land of Matsriym, in Phathrus, answered YaramYahu, saying,
Jer 44:16 “We are not going to listen to you in the matter about which you spoke to us in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 !
Jer 44:17 “But we shall do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the sovereigness of the shamiym and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our sovereigns and our heads, in the cities of Yahudah and in the streets of Yarushalam. And we had plenty of food, and were well-off, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:18 “But since we ceased burning incense to the sovereigness of the shamiym and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all and have been consumed by the sword and by scarcity of food.
Jer 44:19 “And when we burned incense to the sovereigness of the shamiym and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes for her, to idolize her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?”
Jer 44:20 Then YaramYahu spoke to all the people – to the men and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying,
Jer 44:21 “As for the incense that you burned in the cities of Yahudah and in the streets of Yarushalam, you and your fathers, your sovereigns and your heads, and the people of the land, did not 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 remember them? And it came into His heart!
Jer 44:22 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your deeds and because of the abominations which you did. Therefore your land is a ruin, an object of astonishment, a curse, and without an inhabitant, as it is this day.
Jer 44:23 “Because you have burned incense and because you have sinned against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and did not obey the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or walk in His Thurah, in His laws or in His witnesses, therefore this evil did befall you, as at this day.”
Jer 44:24 And YaramYahu said to all the people and to all the women, “Hear the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, all Yahudah who are in the land of Matsriym!
Jer 44:25 “Thus spoke 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, saying, ‘You and your wives have spoken with your mouths, and have filled with your hands, saying, “We shall perform our vows that we have made, to burn incense to the sovereigness of the shamiym and pour out drink offerings to her.” Then confirm your vows and perform your vows!’
Jer 44:26 “Therefore hear the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, all Yahudah who are dwelling in the land of Matsriym, ‘See, I have sworn by My great Name,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘My Name shall no longer be called upon by the mouth of any man of Yahudah in all the land of Matsriym, saying, “As the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 lives...”
Jer 44:27 ‘See, I am watching over them for evil and not for good. And all the men of Yahudah who are in the land of Matsriym shall be consumed by the sword and by scarcity of food, until they come to an end.
Jer 44:28 ‘And those who escape the sword, few in number, shall return from the land of Matsriym to the land of Yahudah. And all the remnant of Yahudah, who came into the land of Matsriym to sojourn there, shall know whose word is established, Mine or theirs.
Jer 44:29 ‘And this is the sign to you,’ declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘that I am punishing you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for evil.’
Jer 44:30 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, ‘See, I am giving Pharauh Chaphrau sovereign of Matsriym into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave TsadaqYahu sovereign of Yahudah into the hand of Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal, his enemy who sought his life.’ ”
Jer 45:1 The word that YaramYahu the prophet spoke to Baruk son of NarYahu, when he had written these words in a book from the mouth of YaramYahu, in the fourth year of YahuYaqiym son of Ya'ashYahu, sovereign of Yahudah, saying,
Jer 45:2 “Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the Alahiym of Yashara'Al, concerning you, Baruk:
Jer 45:3 ‘You have said, “Woe to me now! For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has added grief to my pain. I have been wearied with my sighing, and I have found no rest.” ’
Jer 45:4 “Say this to him, ‘Thus said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “See, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up, that is, the entire land.
Jer 45:5 “And do you seek great matters for yourself? Do not seek them, for look, I am bringing evil on all flesh,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. “But I shall give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” ’ ”
Jer 46:1 The word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 which came to YaramYahu the prophet concerning the nations:
Jer 46:2 For Matsriym, concerning the army of Pharauh Naku, sovereign of Matsriym, which was by the River Pharath in Karkamash, and which Nabukadratsar the sovereign of Babal had smitten in the fourth year of YahuYaqiym, son of Ya'ashYahu, sovereign of Yahudah:
Jer 46:3 “Prepare the large and the small shield, and draw near to battle!

Jer 46:10 For this is the day of the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, a day of vengeance, to revenge Himself on His adversaries. And the sword shall devour, and be satisfied and made drunk with their blood. For the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts has a slaughtering in the land of the north by the River Pharath.

Jer 46:28 “Do not fear, O Ya'auqab My servant,” declares 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, “for I am with you. Though I make a complete end of all the gentiles to which I have driven you, yet I do not make a complete end of you. But I shall reprove you in right-ruling, and by no means leave you unpunished.”

Jer 51:59 The word that YaramYahu the prophet commanded SharYahu son of NarYahu, son of MachasYahu, when he went with TsadaqYahu the sovereign of Yahudah to Babal in the fourth year of his reign. And SharYahu was a quartermaster.
Jer 51:60 So YaramYahu wrote in a book all the evil that would come upon Babal, all these words which have been written concerning Babal.
Jer 51:61 And YaramYahu said to SharYahu, “When you come to Babal and see it, and read all these words,

Jer 52:1 TsadaqYahu was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yarushalam. And his mother’s name was Chamutal the daughter of YaramYahu of Labnah.
Jer 52:2 And he did evil in the eyes of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, according to all that YahuYaqiym had done.
Jer 52:3 For through the displeasure of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 this came to be against Yarushalam and Yahudah, until He had cast them out from His presence. And TsadaqYahu rebelled against the sovereign of Babal.
Jer 52:4 And it came to be in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, that Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal and all his army came against Yarushalam and encamped against it. And they built a siege wall against it all around.
Jer 52:5 And the city was under siege until the eleventh year of Sovereign TsadaqYahu.
Jer 52:6 On the ninth of the fourth month the scarcity of food was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
Jer 52:7 Then the city wall was breached, and all the men of battle fled and went out of the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the sovereign’s garden, while the Kashdiym were near the city all around. And they went by way of the desert plain.
Jer 52:8 But the army of the Kashdiym pursued the sovereign, and they overtook TsadaqYahu in the desert plains of Yarachu, and his entire army was scattered from him.
Jer 52:9 Then they captured the sovereign and brought him up to the sovereign of Babal at Rablathah in the land of Chamath, and he pronounced judgments on him.
Jer 52:10 And the sovereign of Babal slew the sons of TsadaqYahu before his eyes, and he also slew all the heads of Yahudah in Rablathah.
Jer 52:11 And he put out the eyes of TsadaqYahu. And the sovereign of Babal bound him in bronze shackles, and took him to Babalah, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
Jer 52:12 And on the tenth of the fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of sovereign Nabukadratsar sovereign of Babal, Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, who served the sovereign of Babal, came to Yarushalam,
Jer 52:13 and he burned the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and the sovereign’s house, and all the houses of Yarushalam, and all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire.
Jer 52:14 And all the army of the Kashdiym who were with the chief of the guard broke down all the walls of Yarushalam all around.
Jer 52:15 And Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, exiled some of the poor people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and the defectors who had gone over to the sovereign of Babal, and the rest of the craftsmen.
Jer 52:16 But Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, left some of the poor of the land as vinedressers and farmers.
Jer 52:17 And the Kashdiym broke the bronze columns that were in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and the stands and the bronze Sea that were in the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and brought all their bronze to Babalah.
Jer 52:18 They also took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and all the bronze utensils with which they served,
Jer 52:19 and the basins, and the fire holders, and the bowls, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the ladles, and the cups, whatever was of solid gold and whatever was of solid silver, the chief of the guard took.
Jer 52:20 The two columns, one Sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under it, and the stands, which Sovereign Shalamah had made for the House of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 – the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weighing.
Jer 52:21 As for the columns, the height of one column was eighteen cubits, and its circumference was twelve cubits, and its thickness was four fingers, hollow.
Jer 52:22 And a capital of bronze was on it. And the height of one capital was five cubits, with a network and pomegranates all around the capital, all of bronze. And the second column, with pomegranates was the same.
Jer 52:23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides. All the pomegranates on the network were one hundred, all around.
Jer 52:24 And the chief of the guard took SharYahu the chief priest, and TsaphanYahu the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
Jer 52:25 And from the city he took one eunuch who was in charge of the men of battle, and seven men who saw the sovereign’s face, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
Jer 52:26 And Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, took these and brought them to the sovereign of Babal at Rablathah,
Jer 52:27 and the sovereign of Babal smote them and put them to death at Rablah in the land of Chamath. Thus Yahudah was exiled from its own land.
Jer 52:28 These are the people whom Nabukadratsar exiled: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Yahudiym;
Jer 52:29 in the eighteenth year of Nabukadratsar he exiled from Yarushalam eight hundred and thirty-two beings;
Jer 52:30 in the twenty-third year of Nabukadratsar, Nabuzaradan, chief of the guard, exiled of the Yahudiym seven hundred and forty-five beings. All the beings were four thousand six hundred.
Jer 52:31 And it came to be in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of YahuYakin sovereign of Yahudah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that A'uil-Maradak sovereign of Babal, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of YahuYakin sovereign of Yahudah and brought him out of prison,
Jer 52:32 and spoke kindly to him and set his throne above those of the sovereigns who were with him in Babal.
Jer 52:33 So he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread continually before the sovereign all the days of his life.
Jer 52:34 And as for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the sovereign of Babal, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
