|
2. And they said to Jeremiah the prophet, We beg you, let our plea fall before you; and pray for us to Jehovah your God, for all this remnant, (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us),
|
2. And said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , Let , we beseech thee H4994 , our supplication H8467 be accepted H5307 before H6440 thee , and pray H6419 for H1157 us unto H413 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , even for H1157 all H3605 this H2063 remnant H7611 ; ( for H3588 we are left H7604 but a few H4592 of many H4480 H7235 , as H834 thine eyes H5869 do behold H7200 us:)
|
|
3. that Jehovah your God may show us the way in which we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
|
3. That the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may show H5046 us H853 the way H1870 wherein H834 we may walk H1980 , and the thing H1697 that H834 we may do H6213 .
|
|
4. Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard. Behold, I will pray to Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall be, all the word Jehovah shall answer, I will declare to you. I will not keep back a thing from you.
|
4. Then Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 said H559 unto H413 them , I have heard H8085 you ; behold H2009 , I will pray H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 your God H430 according to your words H1697 ; and it shall come to pass H1961 , that whatsoever H3605 H834 thing H1697 the LORD H3068 shall answer H6030 you , I will declare H5046 it unto you ; I will keep nothing back H4513 H3808 H1697 from H4480 you.
|
|
5. And they said to Jeremiah, Let Jehovah be a true and faithful witness between us if not according to all things Jehovah your God shall send you to us, so we will do.
|
5. Then they H1992 said H559 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 , The LORD H3068 be H1961 a true H571 and faithful H539 witness H5707 between us, if H518 we do H6213 not H3808 even H3651 according to all H3605 things H1697 for the which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall send H7971 thee to H413 us.
|
|
6. Whether it is good, or whether evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send you; so that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God.
|
6. Whether H518 it be good H2896 , or whether H518 it be evil H7451 , we will obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 , to whom H834 we H580 send H7971 thee; that H4616 H834 it may be well H3190 with us, when H3588 we obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
7. And it happened at the end of ten days, the Word of Jehovah was to Jeremiah.
|
7. And it came to pass H1961 after H4480 H7093 ten H6235 days H3117 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 .
|
|
8. And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the army heads with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest.
|
8. Then called H7121 H413 he Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 which H834 were with H854 him , and all H3605 the people H5971 from the least H4480 H6996 even to H5704 the greatest H1419 ,
|
|
9. And he said to them, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him.
|
9. And said H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , unto H413 whom H834 ye sent H7971 me to present H5307 your supplication H8467 before H6440 him;
|
|
10. If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you up, and will not tear you down. And I will plant you, and will not pluck you up. For I repent as to the evil that I have done to you.
|
10. If H518 ye will still abide H7725 H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , then will I build H1129 you , and not H3808 pull you down H2040 , and I will plant H5193 you , and not H3808 pluck you up H5428 : for H3588 I repent H5162 me of H413 the evil H7451 that H834 I have done H6213 unto you.
|
|
11. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not be afraid of his face, declares Jehovah, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.
|
11. Be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , of whom H834 ye H859 are afraid H3372 H4480 H6440 ; be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 him, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I H589 am with H854 you to save H3467 you , and to deliver H5337 you from his hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
12. And I will show mercies to you, so that he may have pity on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
|
12. And I will show H5414 mercies H7356 unto you , that he may have mercy upon H7355 you , and cause you to return H7725 H853 to H413 your own land H127 .
|
|
13. But if you say, We will not live in this land or obey the voice of Jehovah your God,
|
13. But if H518 ye H859 say H559 , We will not H3808 dwell H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , neither H1115 obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 ,
|
|
14. saying, No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war or hear the sound of the ram's horn, and we will not hunger for bread, and there we will live;
|
14. Saying H559 , No H3808 ; but H3588 we will go H935 into the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , where H834 we shall see H7200 no H3808 war H4421 , nor H3808 hear H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 , nor H3808 have hunger H7456 of bread H3899 ; and there H8033 will we dwell H3427 :
|
|
15. then hear now the Word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah, So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: If you surely set your faces to go into Egypt, and go to live there,
|
15. And now H6258 therefore H3651 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; If H518 ye H859 wholly set H7760 H7760 your faces H6440 to enter into H935 Egypt H4714 , and go H935 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ;
|
|
16. then it shall be, the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt. And the famine which you were anxious about shall cling to you there in Egypt, and you shall die there.
|
16. Then it shall come to pass H1961 , that the sword H2719 , which H834 ye H859 feared H3373 H4480 , shall overtake H5381 you there H8033 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and the famine H7458 , whereof H834 ye H859 were afraid H1672 H4480 , shall follow close H1692 after H310 you there H8033 in Egypt H4714 ; and there H8033 ye shall die H4191 .
|
|
17. So it shall be to all the men who have set their faces to go into Egypt to reside there. They shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague. And none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.
|
17. So shall it be H1961 with all H3605 the men H376 that H834 set H7760 H853 their faces H6440 to go into H935 Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ; they shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 : and none H3808 of them shall H1961 remain H8300 or escape H6412 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 that H834 I H589 will bring H935 upon H5921 them.
|
|
18. For so says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, As My anger and My fury has flowed out upon the people of Jerusalem, so shall My fury flow out on you when you enter Egypt. And you shall be a curse, and a horror, and a shame, and a reproach, and you shall not see this place anymore.
|
18. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; As H834 mine anger H639 and my fury H2534 hath been poured forth H5413 upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 ; so H3651 shall my fury H2534 be poured forth H5413 upon H5921 you , when ye shall H1961 enter into H935 Egypt H4714 : and ye shall be an execration H423 , and an astonishment H8047 , and a curse H7045 , and a reproach H2781 ; and ye shall see H7200 H853 this H2088 place H4725 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
19. Jehovah has spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah. Do not go into Egypt. Knowing, know that I have testified against you today.
|
19. The LORD H3068 hath said H1696 concerning H5921 you , O ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Go H935 ye not H408 into Egypt H4714 : know certainly H3045 H3045 that H3588 I have admonished H5749 you this day H3117 .
|
|
20. For you used deceit against your souls when you sent me to Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us to Jehovah our God; and according to all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.
|
20. For H3588 ye dissembled H8582 in your hearts H5315 , when H3588 ye H859 sent H7971 me unto H413 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , saying H559 , Pray H6419 for H1157 us unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 ; and according unto all H3605 that H834 the LORD H3068 our God H430 shall say H559 , so H3651 declare H5046 unto us , and we will do H6213 it .
|
|
21. And I have declared it to you this day, but you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God, or anything for which He has sent me to you.
|
21. And now I have this day H3117 declared H5046 it to you ; but ye have not H3808 obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 , nor any H3605 thing for the which H834 he hath sent H7971 me unto H413 you.
|
|
22. And now know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague in the place where you desire to go to sojourn.
|
22. Now H6258 therefore know certainly H3045 H3045 that H3588 ye shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 , in the place H4725 whither H834 H8033 ye desire H2654 to go H935 and to sojourn H1481 .
