  29:1 ¶
And these are the words of the book which Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people; |
|
29:1 ¶
Now these°
[are] the words°
of the letter°
that°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
sent°°
from Jerusalem°°
unto°
the residue°
of the elders°
which were carried away captives,°
and to°
the priests,°
and to°
the prophets,°
and to°
all°
the people°
whom°
Nebuchadnezzar°
had carried away captive°°
from Jerusalem°°
to Babylon;° |
|
29:2
(after the departure of Jeconiah{gr.Jechonias} the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem;) |
|
29:2
(After°
that°
Jeconiah°
the king,°
and the queen,°
and the eunuchs,°
the princes°
of Judah°
and Jerusalem,°
and the carpenters,°
and the smiths,°
were departed°°
from Jerusalem;)°° |
|
29:3
by the hand of Eleasan son of Shaphan{gr.Saphan}, and Gamarias son of Hilkiah{gr.Chelcias}, (whom Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias} king of Judah{gr.Juda} sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying, |
|
29:3
By the hand°
of Elasah°
the son°
of Shaphan,°
and Gemariah°
the son°
of Hilkiah,°
(whom°
Zedekiah°
king°
of Judah°
sent°°
unto Babylon°
to°
Nebuchadnezzar°
king°
of Babylon)°
saying,°° |
|
29:4
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem; |
|
29:4
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel,°
unto all°
that are carried away captives,°
whom°
I have caused to be carried away°°
from Jerusalem°°
unto Babylon;° |
|
29:5
Build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof; |
|
29:5
Build°°
ye houses,°
and dwell°°
[in them]; and plant°°
gardens,°
and eat°°°
the fruit°
of them; |
|
29:6
and take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished. |
|
29:6
Take°°
ye wives,°
and beget°°
sons°
and daughters;°
and take°°
wives°
for your sons,°
and give°°
your daughters°
to husbands,°°
that they may bear°°
sons°
and daughters;°°
that ye may be increased°°
there,°
and not°
diminished.°° |
|
29:7
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and ye shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace ye shall [have] peace. |
|
29:7
And seek°°°
the peace°
of the city°
whither°°
I have caused you to be carried away captives,°°
and pray°°
unto°
Yahweh°
for°
it: for°
in the peace°
thereof shall ye have°
peace.° |
|
29:8 ¶
For thus saith the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and hearken not to your dreams which ye dream. |
|
29:8 ¶
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
Let not°
your prophets°
and your diviners,°°
that°
[be] in the midst°
of you, deceive°°
you, neither°
hearken°°
to°
your dreams°
which°
ye°
cause to be dreamed.°° |
|
29:9
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not. |
|
29:9
For°
they°
prophesy°°
falsely°
unto you in my name:°
I have not°
sent°°
them, saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
29:10 ¶
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place. |
|
29:10 ¶
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
That°
after°
seventy°
years°
be accomplished°°
at Babylon°
I will visit°°
you, and perform°°°
my good°
word°
toward°
you, in causing you to return°°°
to°
this°
place.° |
|
29:11
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things]. |
|
29:11
For°
I°
know°°°
the thoughts°
that°
I°
think°°
toward°
you, saith°°
Yahweh,°
thoughts°
of peace,°
and not°
of evil,°
to give°°
you an expected°
end.° |
|
29:12
And do ye pray to me, and I will hearken to you: and do ye earnestly seek me, and ye shall find me; |
|
29:12
Then shall ye call°°
upon°
me, and ye shall go°°
and pray°°
unto°
me, and I will hearken°°
unto°
you. |
|
29:13
for ye shall seek me with your whole heart. |
|
29:13
And ye shall seek°°
me, and find°°
[me], when°
ye shall search°°
for°
me with all°
your heart.° |
|
29:14
And I will appear to you: |
|
29:14
And I will be found°°
of you, saith°°
Yahweh:°
and I will turn away°°°
your captivity,°°
and I will gather°°
you from all°°
the nations,°
and from all°°
the places°
whither°°
I have driven°°
you, saith°°
Yahweh;°
and I will bring you again°°°
into°
the place°
whence°°°
I caused you to be carried away captive.°° |
|
29:15 ¶
whereas ye said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon: |
|
29:15 ¶
Because°
ye have said,°°
Yahweh°
hath raised us up°°
prophets°
in Babylon;° |
|
29:16

[Know] that°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
of°
the king°
that sitteth°°
upon°
the throne°
of David,°
and of°
all°
the people°
that dwelleth°°
in this°
city,°
[and] of your brethren°
that°
are not°
gone forth°°
with°
you into captivity;° |

29:17
[Absent from Manuscript] |

29:17
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
Behold,°
I will send°°
upon them°
the sword,°°
the famine,°
and the pestilence,°
and will make°°
them like vile°
figs,°
that°
cannot°
be eaten,°°
they are so evil.°° |
|
29:18
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
29:18
And I will persecute°°°
them°
with the sword,°
with the famine,°
and with the pestilence,°
and will deliver°°
them to be removed°°°
to all°
the kingdoms°
of the earth,°
to be a curse,°
and an astonishment,°
and an hissing,°
and a reproach,°
among all°
the nations°
whither°°
I have driven°°
them: |
|
29:19
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
29:19
Because°°
they have not°
hearkened°°
to°
my words,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
which°
I sent°°
unto°
them by°
my servants°
the prophets,°
rising up early°°
and sending°°
[them]; but ye would not°
hear,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |

29:20 ¶
Hear°°
ye°
therefore the word°
of Yahweh,°
all°
ye of the captivity,°
whom°
I have sent°°
from Jerusalem°°
to Babylon:° |
|
29:21 ¶
Thus saith the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias}; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall smite them in your sight. |
|
29:21
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel,°
of°
Ahab°
the son°
of Kolaiah,°
and of°
Zedekiah°
the son°
of Maaseiah,°
which prophesy°°
a lie°
unto you in my name;°
Behold,°
I will deliver°°
them into the hand°
of Nebuchadrezzar°
king°
of Babylon;°
and he shall slay°°
them before your eyes;° |
|
29:22
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Judah{gr.Juda} in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to thee as he did to Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias}, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire; |
|
29:22
And of°
them shall be taken up°°
a curse°
by all°
the captivity°
of Judah°
which°
[are] in Babylon,°
saying,°°
Yahweh°
make°°
thee like Zedekiah°
and like Ahab,°
whom°
the king°
of Babylon°
roasted°°
in the fire;° |
|
29:23
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, saith the Lord. |
|
29:23
Because°°
they have committed°°
villany°
in Israel,°
and have committed°°
adultery°°
with°
their neighbours'°
wives,°
and have spoken°°
lying°
words°
in my name,°
which°
I have not°
commanded°°
them; even I°
know,°°
and [am] a witness,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
29:24 ¶
And to Shemaiah{gr.Samaeas} the Nehelamite{gr.Aelamite} thou shalt say, |
|
29:24 ¶
[Thus] shalt thou also speak°°
to°
Shemaiah°
the Nehelamite,°
saying,°° |
|
29:25
I sent thee not in my name: and to Zephaniah{gr.Sophonias} the priest the son of Maaseiah{gr.Maasaeas} say thou, |
|
29:25
Thus°
speaketh°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel,°
saying,°°
Because°°
thou°
hast sent°°
letters°
in thy name°
unto°
all°
the people°
that°
[are] at Jerusalem,°
and to°
Zephaniah°
the son°
of Maaseiah°
the priest,°
and to°
all°
the priests,°
saying,°° |
|
29:26
The Lord has made thee priest in the place of Jehoiada{gr.Jodae} the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and thou shalt put them in prison, and into the dungeon. |
|
29:26
Yahweh°
hath made°°
thee priest°
in the stead of°
Jehoiada°
the priest,°
that ye should be°
officers°
in the house°
of Yahweh,°
for every°
man°
[that is] mad,°°
and maketh himself a prophet,°°
that thou shouldest put°°
him in°
prison,°
and in°
the stocks.° |
|
29:27
And now wherefore have ye reviled together Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} of Anathoth, who prophesied to you? |
|
29:27
Now°
therefore why°
hast thou not°
reproved°°
Jeremiah°
of Anathoth,°
which maketh himself a prophet°°
to you? |
|
29:28
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. |
|
29:28
For°
therefore°°
he sent°°
unto°
us [in] Babylon,°
saying,°°
This°
[captivity is] long:°
build°°
ye houses,°
and dwell°°
[in them]; and plant°°
gardens,°
and eat°°°
the fruit°
of them. |
|
29:29
And Zephaniah{gr.Sophonias} read the book in the ears of Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}. |
|
29:29
And Zephaniah°
the priest°
read°°°
this°
letter°
in the ears°
of Jeremiah°
the prophet.° |
|
29:30 ¶
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}, saying, |
|
29:30 ¶
Then came°
the word°
of Yahweh°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
saying,°° |
|
29:31
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah{gr.Samaeas} the Nehelamite{gr.Aelamite}, Since Shemaiah{gr.Samaeas} has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity, |
|
29:31
Send°°
to°
all°
them of the captivity,°
saying,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
concerning°
Shemaiah°
the Nehelamite;°
Because°°
that Shemaiah°
hath prophesied°°
unto you, and I°
sent°°
him not,°
and he caused you to trust°°°
in°
a lie:° |
|
29:32
therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will visit Shemaiah{gr.Samaeas}, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it]. |
|
29:32
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
I will punish°°°
Shemaiah°
the Nehelamite,°
and his seed:°
he shall not°
have°
a man°
to dwell°°
among°
this°
people;°
neither°
shall he behold°°
the good°
that°
I°
will do°°
for my people,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
because°
he hath taught°°
rebellion°
against°
Yahweh.° |
