Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 40:1 ¶ The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah{gr.Jeremias}, after that Nebuzaradan{gr.Nabuzardan} the captain of the guard had let him go out of Ramah{gr.Rama}, when he had taken him in manacles in the midst of the captivity of Judah{gr.Juda}, [even] those who were carried to Babylon.

 40:1 ¶ The word° that° came° to° Jeremiah° from°° Yahweh,° after° that° Nebuzaradan° the captain° of the guard° had let him go°° from° Ramah,° when he had taken°° him being bound°° in chains° among° all° that were carried away captive° of Jerusalem° and Judah,° which were carried away captive°° unto Babylon.°

 40:2 And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord thy God has pronounced all these evils upon this place:

 40:2 And the captain° of the guard° took°° Jeremiah,° and said°° unto° him, Yahweh° thy Elohim° hath pronounced°°° this° evil° upon° this° place.°

 40:3 and the Lord has done it; because ye sinned against him, and hearkened not to his voice.

 40:3 Now Yahweh° hath brought°° [it], and done°° according as° he hath said:°° because° ye have sinned°° against Yahweh,° and have not° obeyed°° his voice,° therefore this° thing° is come° upon you.

 40:4 Behold, I have loosed thee from the manacles that were upon thine hands. If it seem good to thee to go with me to Babylon, then will I set mine eyes upon thee.

 40:4 And now,° behold,° I loose°° thee this day° from° the chains° which° [were] upon° thine hand.° If° it seem good°° unto thee°° to come°° with° me into Babylon,° come;°° and I will look well°°°° unto° thee: but if° it seem ill°°° unto thee°° to come°° with° me into Babylon,° forbear:°° behold,°° all° the land° [is] before° thee: whither° it seemeth°° good° and convenient°° for thee to go,°°° thither° go.°°°

 40:5 But if not, depart; return to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} the son of Ahikam{gr.Achicam}, the son of Shaphan{gr.Saphan}, whom the king of Babylon has appointed governor in the land of Judah{gr.Juda}, and dwell with him in the midst of the people in the land of Judah{gr.Juda}: to whatsoever places it seems good in thine eyes to go, do thou even go. And the captain of the guard made him presents, and let him go.

 40:5 Now while he was not° yet° gone back,°° [he said], Go back°° also to° Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° the son° of Shaphan,° whom° the king° of Babylon° hath made governor°° over the cities° of Judah,° and dwell°° with° him among° the people:° or° go°°° wheresoever°° it seemeth° convenient°° unto thee to go.°°° So the captain° of the guard° gave°° him victuals° and a reward,° and let him go.°°

 40:6 And he came to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} to Mizpeh{gr.Massepha}, and dwelt in the midst of his people that was left in the land.

 40:7 ¶ And all the leaders of the host that was in the country, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} [governor] in the land, and they committed to him the men and their wives, whom [Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor} had] not removed to Babylon.

 40:7 ¶ Now when all° the captains° of the forces° which° [were] in the fields,° [even] they° and their men,°° heard°° that° the king° of Babylon° had made° Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° governor°° in the land,° and° had committed°° unto° him men,°° and women,° and children,° and of the poor°° of the land,° of them that°° were not° carried away captive°° to Babylon;°

 40:8 And there came to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} to Mizpeh{gr.Massepha} Ishmael{gr.Ismael} the son of Nethaniah{gr.Nathanias}, and Johanan{gr.Joanan} son of Caree, and Seraiah{gr.Saraeas} the son of Thanaemeth, and the sons of Jophe the Netophathite, and Ezonias son of the Mochathite, they and their men.

 40:8 Then they came°° to° Gedaliah° to Mizpah,° even Ishmael° the son° of Nethaniah,° and Johanan° and Jonathan° the sons° of Kareah,° and Seraiah° the son° of Tanhumeth,° and the sons° of Ephai° the Netophathite,° and Jezaniah° the son° of a Maachathite,° they° and their men.°°

 40:9 And Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} swore to them and to their men, saying, Be not afraid before the children of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be better for you.

 40:9 And Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° the son° of Shaphan° sware°° unto them and to their men,°° saying,°° Fear°° not° to serve°°° the Chaldeans:° dwell° in°° the land,° and serve°°° the king° of Babylon,° and it shall be well°° with you.

 40:10 And, behold, I dwell in your presence at Mizpeh{gr.Massepha}, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come against you: and do ye gather grapes, and fruits, and oil, and put [them] into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which ye have obtained possession of.

 40:10 As for me,° behold,° I will dwell°° at Mizpah° to serve°°° the Chaldeans,° which° will come°° unto° us: but ye,° gather°° ye wine,° and summer fruits,° and oil,° and put°° [them] in your vessels,° and dwell°° in your cities° that° ye have taken.°°

 40:11 And all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and those [that were] in Edom{gr.Idumea}, and those [that were] in all [the rest of] the country, heard that the king of Babylon [had] granted a remnant to Judah{gr.Juda}, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} the son of Ahikam{gr.Achicam}.

 40:11 Likewise° when all° the Jews° that° [were] in Moab,° and among the Ammonites,°° and in Edom,° and that° [were] in all° the countries,° heard°° that° the king° of Babylon° had left°° a remnant° of Judah,° and that° he had set°° over° them° Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° the son° of Shaphan;°

 40:12 And they came to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} into the land of Judah{gr.Juda}, to Mizpeh{gr.Massepha}, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.

 40:12 Even all° the Jews° returned° out°° of all°° places° whither°° they were driven,°° and came°° to the land° of Judah,° to° Gedaliah,° unto Mizpah,° and gathered°° wine° and summer fruits° very° much.°°°

 40:13 ¶ And Johanan{gr.Joanan} the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host, who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} to Mizpeh{gr.Massepha},

 40:13 ¶ Moreover Johanan° the son° of Kareah,° and all° the captains° of the forces° that° [were] in the fields,° came°° to° Gedaliah° to Mizpah,°

 40:14 and said to him, Dost thou indeed know that king Beleissa son of Ammon has sent Ishmael{gr.Ismael} to thee to slay thee? But Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} believed them not.

 40:14 And said°° unto° him, Dost thou certainly°° know°° that° Baalis° the king° of the Ammonites°° hath sent°°° Ishmael° the son° of Nethaniah° to slay°°° thee? But Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° believed°° them not.°

 40:15 And Johanan{gr.Joanan} said to Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} secretly in Mizpeh{gr.Massepha}, I will go now and smite Ishmael{gr.Ismael}, and let no man know [it]; lest he slay thee, and all the Jews that are gathered to thee be dispersed, and the remnant of Judah{gr.Juda} perish.

 40:15 Then Johanan° the son° of Kareah° spake°° to° Gedaliah° in Mizpah° secretly,° saying,°° Let me go,°°° I pray thee,° and I will slay°°° Ishmael° the son° of Nethaniah,° and no° man° shall know°° [it]: wherefore° should he slay°°° thee, that all° the Jews°° which are gathered°° unto° thee should be scattered,°° and the remnant° in Judah° perish?°°

 40:16 But Gedaliah{gr.Godolias} said to Johanan{gr.Joanan}, Do not the thing, for thou speakest lies concerning Ishmael{gr.Ismael}.

 40:16 But Gedaliah° the son° of Ahikam° said°° unto° Johanan° the son° of Kareah,° Thou shalt not° do°°° this° thing:° for° thou° speakest°° falsely° of° Ishmael.°
