16 H559Know that thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH4428of the kingH3427that sitteth[H8802] H3678upon the throneH1732of DavidH5971, and of all the peopleH3427that dwelleth[H8802] H5892in this cityH251, and of your brethrenH3318that are not gone forth[H8804] H1473with you into captivity; 17 H559Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH6635of hostsH7971; Behold, I will send[H8764] H2719upon them the swordH7458, the famineH1698, and the pestilenceH5414, and will make[H8804] H8182them like vileH8384figsH398, that cannot be eaten[H8735] H7455, they are so evil. 18 H7291And I will persecute[H8804] H310themH2719with the swordH7458, with the famineH1698, and with the pestilenceH5414, and will deliver[H8804] H2189them to be removed[H8675] H2113 H4467to all the kingdomsH776of the earthH423, to be a curseH8047, and an astonishmentH8322, and an hissingH2781, and a reproachH1471, among all the nationsH5080whither I have driven[H8689] them: 19 H8085Because they have not hearkened[H8804] H1697to my wordsH5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORDH7971, which I sent[H8804] H5650unto them by my servantsH5030the prophetsH7925, rising up early[H8687] H7971and sending[H8800] H8085them; but ye would not hear[H8804] H5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORD. 20 H8085Hear[H8798] H1697ye therefore the wordH3068of the LORDH1473, all ye of the captivityH7971, whom I have sent[H8765] H3389from JerusalemH894to Babylon: 21 H559Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH6635of hostsH430, the GodH3478of IsraelH256, of AhabH1121the sonH6964of KolaiahH6667, and of ZedekiahH1121the sonH4641of MaaseiahH5012, which prophesy[H8737] H8267a lieH8034unto you in my nameH5414; Behold, I will deliver[H8802] H3027them into the handH5019of NebuchadrezzarH4428kingH894of BabylonH5221; and he shall slay[H8689] H5869them before your eyes; 22 H3947And of them shall be taken up[H8795] H7045a curseH1546by all the captivityH3063of JudahH894which are in BabylonH559, saying[H8800] H3068, The LORDH7760make[H8799] H6667thee like ZedekiahH256and like AhabH4428, whom the kingH894of BabylonH7033roasted[H8804] H784in the fire; 23 H6213Because they have committed[H8804] H5039villanyH3478in IsraelH6213, and have committed[H8804] H5003adultery[H8762] H7453with their neighboursH802' wivesH1696, and have spoken[H8762] H8267lyingH1697wordsH8034in my nameH6680, which I have not commanded[H8765] H3045them; even I know[H8802] H5707, and am a witnessH5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORD. 24 H559Thus shalt thou also speak[H8799] H8098to ShemaiahH5161the NehelamiteH559, saying[H8800] , 25 H559Thus speaketh[H8804] H3068the LORDH6635of hostsH430, the GodH3478of IsraelH559, saying[H8800] H7971, Because thou hast sent[H8804] H5612lettersH8034in thy nameH5971unto all the peopleH3389that are at JerusalemH6846, and to ZephaniahH1121the sonH4641of MaaseiahH3548the priestH3548, and to all the priestsH559, saying[H8800] , 26 H3068The LORDH5414hath made[H8804] H3548thee priestH3077in the stead of JehoiadaH3548the priestH6496, that ye should be officersH1004in the houseH3068of the LORDH376, for every manH7696that is mad[H8794] H5012, and maketh himself a prophet[H8693] H5414, that thou shouldest put[H8804] H4115him in prisonH6729, and in the stocks. 27 H1605Now therefore why hast thou not reproved[H8804] H3414JeremiahH6069of AnathothH5012, which maketh himself a prophet[H8693] to you? 28 H7971For therefore he sent[H8804] H894unto us in BabylonH559, saying[H8800] H1931, ThisH752captivity is longH1129: build[H8798] H1004ye housesH3427, and dwell[H8798] H5193in them; and plant[H8798] H1593gardensH398, and eat[H8798] H6529the fruit of them. 29 H6846And ZephaniahH3548the priestH7121read[H8799] H5612this letterH241in the earsH3414of JeremiahH5030the prophet. 30 H1697Then came the wordH3068of the LORDH3414unto JeremiahH559, saying[H8800] , 31 H7971Send[H8798] H1473to all them of the captivityH559, saying[H8800] H559, Thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH8098concerning ShemaiahH5161the NehelamiteH8098; Because that ShemaiahH5012hath prophesied[H8738] H7971unto you, and I sent[H8804] H982him not, and he caused you to trust[H8686] H8267in a lie: 32 H559Therefore thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH6485; Behold, I will punish[H8802] H8098ShemaiahH5161the NehelamiteH2233, and his seedH376: he shall not have a manH3427to dwell[H8802] H8432amongH5971this peopleH7200; neither shall he behold[H8799] H2896the goodH6213that I will do[H8802] H5971for my peopleH5002, saith[H8803] H3068the LORDH1696; because he hath taught[H8765] H5627rebellionH3068against the LORD. |
