  38:1 ¶
And Saphanias the son of Nathan, and Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} the son of Paschor, and Joachal the son of Semelias, heard the words which Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} spoke to the people, saying, |
|
38:1 ¶
Then Shephatiah°
the son°
of Mattan,°
and Gedaliah°
the son°
of Pashur,°
and Jucal°
the son°
of Shelemiah,°
and Pashur°
the son°
of Malchiah,°
heard°°°
the words°
that°
Jeremiah°
had spoken°°
unto°
all°
the people,°
saying,°° |
|
38:2
Thus saith the Lord; He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine: but he that goes out to the Chaldeans shall live; and his soul shall be given him for a found treasure, and he shall live. |
|
38:2
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
He that remaineth°°
in this°
city°
shall die°°
by the sword,°
by the famine,°
and by the pestilence:°
but he that goeth forth°°
to°
the Chaldeans°
shall live;°°
for he shall have°
his life°
for a prey,°
and shall live.°°°°° |
|
38:3
For thus saith the Lord; This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the host of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it. |
|
38:3
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
This°
city°
shall surely°°
be given°°
into the hand°
of the king°
of Babylon's°
army,°
which shall take°°
it. |
|
38:4
And they said to the king. Let that man, wee pray thee, be slain, for he weakens the hands of the fighting men that are left in the city, and the hands of all the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man does not prophesy peace to this people, but evil. |
|
38:4
Therefore the princes°
said°°
unto°
the king,°
We beseech thee,°
let°
this°
man°
be put to death:°°
for°
thus°°
he°
weakeneth°°°
the hands°
of the men°°
of war°
that remain°°
in this°
city,°
and the hands°
of all°
the people,°
in speaking°°
such°
words°
unto°
them: for°
this°
man°
seeketh°°
not°
the welfare°
of this°
people,°
but°°
the hurt.° |
|
38:5
Then the king said, Behold, he is in your hands. For the king could not resist them. |
|
38:5
Then Zedekiah°
the king°
said,°°
Behold,°
he°
[is] in your hand:°
for°
the king°
[is] not°
[he that] can°°
do°
[any] thing°
against you. |
|
38:6
And they cast him into the dungeon of Melchiah{gr.Melchias} the king's son, which was in the court of the prison; and they let him down into the pit: and there was no water in the pit, but mire: and he was in the mire. |
|
38:6
Then took°°
they°
Jeremiah,°
and cast°°
him into°
the dungeon°
of Malchiah°
the son°
of Hammelech,°°
that°
[was] in the court°
of the prison:°
and they let down°°°
Jeremiah°
with cords.°
And in the dungeon°
[there was] no°
water,°
but°°
mire:°
so Jeremiah°
sunk°°
in the mire.° |
|
38:7 ¶
And Abdemelech the Ethiopian heard, (now he was in the king's household,) that they [had] put Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} into the dungeon; and the king was in the gate of Benjamin: |
|
38:7 ¶
Now when Ebedmelech°
the Ethiopian,°
one°
of the eunuchs°
which°
was in the king's°
house,°
heard°°
that°
they had put°°°
Jeremiah°
in°
the dungeon;°
the king°
then sitting°°
in the gate°
of Benjamin;° |
|
38:8
and he went forth to him, and spoke to the king and said, |
|
38:8
Ebedmelech°
went forth°°
out of the king's°
house,°°
and spake°°
to°
the king,°
saying,°° |
|
38:9
Thou hast done evil in what thou hast done to slay this man with hunger: for there is no more bread in the city. |
|
38:9
My adon°
the king,°
these°
men°°
have done evil°°
in°
all°
that°
they have done°°
to Jeremiah°
the prophet,°°
whom°
they have cast°°
into°
the dungeon;°
and he is like to die°°
for°°
hunger°
in the place°
where°
he is: for°
[there is] no°
more°
bread°
in the city.° |
|
38:10
And the king commanded Abdemelech, saying, Take with thee hence thirty men, and bring him up out of the dungeon, that he die not. |
|
38:10
Then the king°
commanded°°°
Ebedmelech°
the Ethiopian,°
saying,°°
Take°°
from hence°°
thirty°
men°°
with°
thee,°
and take up°°°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
out of°
the dungeon,°
before°
he die.°° |
|
38:11
So Abdemelech took the men and went into the underground [part of the] king's house, and took thence old rags and old ropes, and threw them to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} into the dungeon. |
|
38:11
So Ebedmelech°
took°°°
the men°°
with°
him,°
and went°°
into°
the house°
of the king°
under°°
the treasury,°
and took°°
thence°°
old°
cast clouts°
and old°
rotten rags,°
and let them down°°
by cords°
into°
the dungeon°
to°
Jeremiah.° |
|
38:12
And he said, Put these under the ropes. And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} did so. |
|
38:12
And Ebedmelech°
the Ethiopian°
said°°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
Put°°
now°
[these] old°
cast clouts°
and rotten rags°
under°
thine armholes°°
under°°
the cords.°
And Jeremiah°
did°°
so.° |
|
38:13
And they drew him with the ropes, and lifted him out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} remained in the court of the prison. |
|
38:13
So they drew up°°°
Jeremiah°
with cords,°
and took him up°°°
out of°
the dungeon:°
and Jeremiah°
remained°°
in the court°
of the prison.° |
|
38:14 ¶
Then the king sent, and called him to himself into the house of Aselisel, which was in the house of the Lord: and the King said to him, I will ask thee a question, and I pray thee hide nothing from me. |
|
38:14 ¶
Then Zedekiah°
the king°
sent,°°
and took°°°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
unto°
him into°
the third°
entry°
that°
[is] in the house°
of Yahweh:°
and the king°
said°°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
I°
will ask°°
thee a thing;°
hide°°
nothing°°
from°
me. |
|
38:15
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} said to the king, If I tell thee, wilt thou not certainly put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not at all hearken to me. |
|
38:15
Then Jeremiah°
said°°
unto°
Zedekiah,°
If°
I declare°°
[it] unto thee, wilt thou not°
surely°°
put me to death?°°
and if°
I give thee counsel,°°
wilt thou not°
hearken°°
unto°
me? |
|
38:16
And the king swore to him, saying, [As] the Lord lives who gave us this soul, I will not slay thee, neither will I give thee into the hands of these men. |
|
38:16
So Zedekiah°
the king°
sware°°
secretly°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
saying,°°
[As] Yahweh°
liveth,°°
that°
made°°
us°
this°
soul,°
I will not°
put thee to death,°°
neither°
will I give°°
thee into the hand°
of these°
men°°
that°
seek°°°
thy life.° |
|
38:17
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} said to him, Thus saith the Lord; If thou wilt indeed go forth to the captains of the king of Babylon, thy soul shall live, and this city shall certainly not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house. |
|
38:17
Then said°°
Jeremiah°
unto°
Zedekiah,°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
the Elohim°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
If°
thou wilt assuredly°°
go forth°°
unto°
the king°
of Babylon's°
princes,°
then thy soul°
shall live,°°
and this°
city°
shall not°
be burned°°
with fire;°
and thou°
shalt live,°°
and thine house:° |
|
38:18
But if thou wilt not go forth this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt by no means escape. |
|
38:18
But if°
thou wilt not°
go forth°°
to°
the king°
of Babylon's°
princes,°
then shall this°
city°
be given°°
into the hand°
of the Chaldeans,°
and they shall burn°°
it with fire,°
and thou°
shalt not°
escape°
out°°
of their hand.°° |
|
38:19
And the king said to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}, I consider the Jews that have gone over to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hands, and they mock me. |
|
38:19
And Zedekiah°
the king°
said°°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
I°
am afraid°°
of°°
the Jews°
that°
are fallen°°
to°
the Chaldeans,°
lest°
they deliver°°
me into their hand,°
and they mock°°
me. |
|
38:20
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} said, They shall in no wise deliver thee up. Hear the word of the Lord which I speak to thee; and it shall be better for thee, and thy soul shall live. |
|
38:20
But Jeremiah°
said,°°
They shall not°
deliver°°
[thee]. Obey,°°
I beseech thee,°
the voice°
of Yahweh,°
which°
I°
speak°°
unto°
thee: so it shall be well°°
unto thee, and thy soul°
shall live.°° |
|
38:21
But if thou wilt not go forth, this is the word which the Lord has shewn me. |
|
38:21
But if°
thou°
refuse°
to go forth,°°
this°
[is] the word°
that°
Yahweh°
hath shewed°°
me: |
|
38:22
And, behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah{gr.Juda} were brought forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and they said, The men who were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and will prevail against thee; and they shall cause thy foot to slide and fail, they have turned back from thee. |
|
38:22
And, behold,°
all°
the women°
that°
are left°°
in the king°
of Judah's°
house°
[shall be] brought forth°°
to°
the king°
of Babylon's°
princes,°
and those°
[women] shall say,°°
Thy friends°°°
have set°
thee on,°°
and have prevailed°°
against thee: thy feet°
are sunk°°
in the mire,°
[and] they are turned away°°
back.° |
|
38:23
And they shall bring forth thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt by no means escape, for thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city shall be burnt. |
|
38:23
So they shall bring out°°
all°
thy wives°
and thy children°
to°
the Chaldeans:°
and thou°
shalt not°
escape°
out°°
of their hand,°°
but°
shalt be taken°°
by the hand°
of the king°
of Babylon:°
and thou shalt cause this°
city°
to be burned°°
with fire.° |
|
38:24 ¶
Then the king said to him, Let no man know [any] of these words, and certainly thou shalt not die. |
|
38:24 ¶
Then said°°
Zedekiah°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
Let no°
man°
know°°
of these°
words,°
and thou shalt not°
die.°° |
|
38:25
And if the princes shall hear that I have spoken to thee, and they come to thee, and say to thee, Tell us, what said the king to thee? hide [it] not from us, and we will in no wise slay thee, and what said the king to thee? |
|
38:25
But if°
the princes°
hear°°
that°
I have talked°°
with°
thee, and they come°°
unto°
thee, and say°°
unto°
thee, Declare°°
unto us now°
what°
thou hast said°°
unto°
the king,°
hide°°
it not°
from°
us, and we will not°
put thee to death;°°
also what°
the king°
said°°
unto°
thee: |
|
38:26
Then thou shalt say to them, I brought my supplication before the presence of the king, that he would not send me back into the house of Jonathan, that I should die there. |
|
38:26
Then thou shalt say°°
unto°
them, I°
presented°°
my supplication°
before°
the king,°
that he would not°
cause me to return°°
to Jonathan's°°
house,°
to die°°
there.° |
|
38:27
And all the princes came to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words, which the king had commanded him. And they were silent, because the word of the Lord was not heard. |
|
38:27
Then came°°
all°
the princes°
unto°
Jeremiah,°
and asked°°
him: and he told°°
them according to all°
these°
words°
that°
the king°
had commanded.°°
So they left off speaking°°
with°
him; for°
the matter°
was not°
perceived.°° |
|
38:28
And Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias} remained in the court of the prison, until the time when Jerusalem was taken. |
|
38:28
So Jeremiah°
abode°°
in the court°
of the prison°
until°
the day°
that°
Jerusalem°
was taken:°°
and he was°
[there] when°
Jerusalem°
was taken.°° |
