1. And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this Word was to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , that this H2088 word H1697 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Take a scroll of a book for yourself and write in it all the Words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
|
2. Take H3947 thee a roll H4039 of a book H5612 , and write H3789 therein H413 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 that H834 I have spoken H1696 unto H413 thee against H5921 Israel H3478 , and against H5921 Judah H3063 , and against H5921 all H3605 the nations H1471 , from the day H4480 H3117 I spoke H1696 unto H413 thee , from the days H4480 H3117 of Josiah H2977 , even unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
3. It may be the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I plan to do to them, that they may each man turn from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
|
3. It may be that H194 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 will hear H8085 H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 I H595 purpose H2803 to do H6213 unto them; that H4616 they may return H7725 every man H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 ; that I may forgive H5545 their iniquity H5771 and their sin H2403 .
|
|
4. Then Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah. And Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the Words of Jehovah that He had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
|
4. Then Jeremiah H3414 called H7121 H853 Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 : and Baruch H1263 wrote H3789 from the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he had spoken H1696 unto H413 him, upon H5921 a roll H4039 of a book H5612 .
|
|
5. And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go to the house of Jehovah.
|
5. And Jeremiah H3414 commanded H6680 H853 Baruch H1263 , saying H559 , I H589 am shut up H6113 ; I cannot H3201 H3808 go H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 :
|
|
6. So you go and read in the scroll the Words of Jehovah that you have written from my mouth, in the house of Jehovah, in the ears of the people on the fasting day. And also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out from their cities.
|
6. Therefore go H935 thou H859 , and read H7121 in the roll H4039 , which H834 thou hast written H3789 from my mouth H4480 H6310 , H853 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 in the ears H241 of the people H5971 in the LORD H3068 's house H1004 upon the fasting H6685 day H3117 : and also H1571 thou shalt read H7121 them in the ears H241 of all H3605 Judah H3063 that come H935 out of their cities H4480 H5892 .
|
|
7. Perhaps their pleading will fall before Jehovah, and each man will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah has spoken against this people.
|
7. It may be H194 they will present H5307 their supplication H8467 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and will return H7725 every one H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 : for H3588 great H1419 is the anger H639 and the fury H2534 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath pronounced H1696 against H413 this H2088 people H5971 .
|
|
8. And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the Words of Jehovah in the house of Jehovah.
|
8. And Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 did H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 commanded H6680 him, reading H7121 in the book H5612 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 in the LORD H3068 's house H1004 .
|
|
9. And it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, they called a fast before Jehovah, to all the people of Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
|
9. And it came to pass H1961 in the fifth H2549 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , in the ninth H8671 month H2320 , that they proclaimed H7121 a fast H6685 before H6440 the LORD H3068 to all H3605 the people H5971 in Jerusalem H3389 , and to all H3605 the people H5971 that came H935 from the cities H4480 H5892 of Judah H3063 unto Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
10. And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance to the New Gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.
|
10. Then read H7121 Baruch H1263 in the book H5612 H853 the words H1697 of Jeremiah H3414 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , in the chamber H3957 of Gemariah H1587 the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 , in the higher H5945 court H2691 , at the entry H6607 of the new H2319 gate H8179 of the LORD H3068 's house H1004 , in the ears H241 of all H3605 the people H5971 .
|
|
11. When Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the Words of Jehovah out of the book,
|
11. When Michaiah H4321 the son H1121 of Gemariah H1587 , the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 , had heard H8085 out of H4480 H5921 the book H5612 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the LORD H3068 ,
|
|
12. then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's room. And, behold, all the rulers were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers.
|
12. Then he went down H3381 into H5921 the king H4428 's house H1004 , into H5921 the scribe H5608 's chamber H3957 : and, lo H2009 , all H3605 the princes H8269 sat H3427 there H8033 , even Elishama H476 the scribe H5608 , and Delaiah H1806 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 , and Elnathan H494 the son H1121 of Achbor H5907 , and Gemariah H1587 the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 , and Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Hananiah H2608 , and all H3605 the princes H8269 .
|
|
13. And Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
|
13. Then Michaiah H4321 declared H5046 unto them H853 all H3605 the words H1697 that H834 he had heard H8085 , when Baruch H1263 read H7121 the book H5612 in the ears H241 of the people H5971 .
|
|
14. And all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take the scroll in your hand, in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the scroll in his hand and came to them.
|
14. Therefore all H3605 the princes H8269 sent H7971 H853 Jehudi H3065 the son H1121 of Nethaniah H5418 , the son H1121 of Shelemiah H8018 , the son H1121 of Cushi H3570 , unto H413 Baruch H1263 , saying H559 , Take H3947 in thine hand H3027 the roll H4039 wherein H834 thou hast read H7121 in the ears H241 of the people H5971 , and come H1980 . So Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 took H3947 H853 the roll H4039 in his hand H3027 , and came H935 unto H413 them.
|
|
15. And they said to him, Sit down now and read it in our ears. So Baruch read in their ears.
|
15. And they said H559 unto H413 him , Sit down H3427 now H4994 , and read H7121 it in our ears H241 . So Baruch H1263 read H7121 it in their ears H241 .
|
|
16. And it happened, when they had heard all the Words, they turned each man to his companion in fear. And they said to Baruch, We will surely tell all these words to the king.
|
16. Now it came to pass H1961 , when they had heard H8085 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 , they were afraid H6342 both H413 one H376 and other H7453 , and said H559 unto H413 Baruch H1263 , We will surely tell H5046 H5046 the king H4428 of H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 .
|
|
17. And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, how did you write all these words? From his mouth?
|
17. And they asked H7592 Baruch H1263 , saying H559 , Tell H5046 us now H4994 , How H349 didst thou write H3789 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 at his mouth H4480 H6310 ?
|
|
18. And Baruch said to them, He spoke all these words to me from his mouth, and I wrote with ink on the book.
|
18. Then Baruch H1263 answered H559 them , He pronounced H7121 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 me with his mouth H4480 H6310 , and I H589 wrote H3789 them with ink H1773 in H5921 the book H5612 .
|
|
19. And the rulers said to Baruch, Go, hide yourselves, you and Jeremiah; and do not let any man know where you are.
|
19. Then said H559 the princes H8269 unto H413 Baruch H1263 , Go H1980 , hide H5641 thee, thou H859 and Jeremiah H3414 ; and let no H408 man H376 know H3045 where H375 ye be.
|
|
20. And they went in to the king, into the court. But they laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. And they told all the words in the ear of the king.
|
20. And they went in H935 to H413 the king H4428 into the court H2691 , but they laid up H6485 the roll H4039 in the chamber H3957 of Elishama H476 the scribe H5608 , and told H5046 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 in the ears H241 of the king H4428 .
|
|
21. And the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll. And he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the king's ears, and in the ears of all the rulers who stood beside the king.
|
21. So the king H4428 sent H7971 H853 Jehudi H3065 to fetch H3947 H853 the roll H4039 : and he took H3947 it out of Elishama H476 the scribe H5608 's chamber H4480 H3957 . And Jehudi H3065 read H7121 it in the ears H241 of the king H4428 , and in the ears H241 of all H3605 the princes H8269 which stood H5975 beside H4480 H5921 the king H4428 .
|
|
22. And the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and with the burning fire pan before him.
|
22. Now the king H4428 sat H3427 in the winterhouse H1004 H2779 in the ninth H8671 month H2320 : and there was a fire on the hearth H254 burning H1197 before H6440 him.
|
|
23. And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the scribe's knife and threw it into the fire in the fire-pan, until all the scroll was burned up in the fire that was in the fire-pan.
|
23. And it came to pass H1961 , that when Jehudi H3065 had read H7121 three H7969 or four H702 leaves H1817 , he cut H7167 it with the penknife H8593 H5608 , and cast H7993 it into H413 the fire H784 that H834 was on H413 the hearth H254 , until H5704 all H3605 the roll H4039 was consumed H8552 in H5921 the fire H784 that H834 was on H5921 the hearth H254 .
|
|
24. Yet the king and all his servants who heard these Words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.
|
24. Yet they were not H3808 afraid H6342 , nor H3808 rent H7167 H853 their garments H899 , neither the king H4428 , nor any H3605 of his servants H5650 that heard H8085 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 .
|
|
25. But Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah had pleaded with the king that he should not burn the scroll, but he would not listen to them.
|
25. Nevertheless H1571 Elnathan H494 and Delaiah H1806 and Gemariah H1587 had made intercession H6293 to the king H4428 that he would not H1115 burn H8313 H853 the roll H4039 : but he would not H3808 hear H8085 H413 them.
|
|
26. And the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But Jehovah hid them.
|
26. But the king H4428 commanded H6680 H853 Jerahmeel H3396 the son H1121 of Hammelech H4429 , and Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Azriel H5837 , and Shelemiah H8018 the son H1121 of Abdeel H5655 , to take H3947 H853 Baruch H1263 the scribe H5608 and Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 : but the LORD H3068 hid H5641 them.
|
|
27. Then the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll and the Words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
|
27. Then the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 , after that H310 the king H4428 had burned H8313 H853 the roll H4039 , and the words H1697 which H834 Baruch H1263 wrote H3789 at the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 , saying H559 ,
|
|
28. Take for yourself another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
|
28. Take H3947 thee again H7725 another H312 roll H4039 , and write H3789 in H5921 it H853 all H3605 the former H7223 words H1697 that H834 were H1961 in H5921 the first H7223 roll H4039 , which H834 Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath burned H8313 .
|
|
29. And you shall say to Jehoiakim the king of Judah, So says Jehovah, You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written on it, saying, Coming the king of Babylon shall come and destroy this land, and shall cause man and beast to cease from there?
|
29. And thou shalt say H559 to H5921 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Thou H859 hast burned H8313 H853 this H2063 roll H4039 , saying H559 , Why H4069 hast thou written H3789 therein H5921 , saying H559 , The king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall certainly come H935 H935 and destroy H7843 H853 this H2063 land H776 , and shall cause to cease H7673 from H4480 thence man H120 and beast H929 ?
|
|
30. Therefore, so says Jehovah of Jehoiakim, king of Judah: There shall not be one to him to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
|
30. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of H5921 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 ; He shall have H1961 none H3808 to sit H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of David H1732 : and his dead body H5038 shall be H1961 cast out H7993 in the day H3117 to the heat H2721 , and in the night H3915 to the frost H7140 .
|
|
31. And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their sin. And I will bring on them, and on the people of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them. But they did not listen.
|
31. And I will punish H6485 H5921 him and his seed H2233 and his servants H5650 for H853 their iniquity H5771 ; and I will bring H935 upon H5921 them , and upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , and upon H413 the men H376 of Judah H3063 , H853 all H3605 the evil H7451 that H834 I have pronounced H1696 against H413 them ; but they hearkened H8085 not H3808 .
|
|
32. Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, had burned in the fire. And many words like them were added to them.
|
32. Then took H3947 Jeremiah H3414 another H312 roll H4039 , and gave H5414 it to H413 Baruch H1263 the scribe H5608 , the son H1121 of Neriah H5374 ; who wrote H3789 therein H5921 from the mouth H4480 H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of the book H5612 which H834 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 had burned H8313 in the fire H784 : and there were added H3254 besides H5750 unto H5921 them many H7227 like H1992 words H1697 .
