Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

Jeremiah 38

1 Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into the dungeon of Malchiah. 7 Ebed-melech, by suit, getteth him some enlargement. 14 Upon secret conference he counselleth the king by yielding to save his life. 24 By the king's instructions he concealeth the conference from the princes.

 38:1 ¶ Then Shephatiah 8203 the son 1121 of Mattan, 4977 and Gedaliah 1436 the son 1121 of Pashur, 6583 and Jucal 3116 the son 1121 of Shelemiah, 8018 and Pashur 6583 the son 1121 of Malchiah, 4441 heard 8085 z8799 x853 the words 1697 that x834 Jeremiah 3414 had spoken 1696 z8764 unto x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800

 38:2 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 He that remaineth 3427 z8802 in this x2063 city 5892 shall die 4191 z8799 by the sword, 2719 by the famine, 7458 and by the pestilence: 1698 but he that goeth forth 3318 z8802 to x413 the Chaldeans 3778 shall live; 2421 z8804 for he shall have x1961 his life 5315 for a prey, 7998 and shall live. 2425 y2421 z8799 z8675 z8804

 38:3 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 This x2063 city 5892 shall surely y5414 z8736 be given 5414 z8735 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Babylon's 894 army, 2428 which shall take 3920 z8804 it.

 38:4 Therefore the princes 8269 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the king, 4428 We beseech thee, x4994 let x853 this x2088 man 376 be put to death: 4191 z8714 for x3588 thus 3651 x5921 he x1931 weakeneth 7503 z8764 x853 the hands 3027 of the men y582 x376 of war 4421 that remain 7604 z8737 in this x2063 city, 5892 and the hands 3027 of all x3605 the people, 5971 in speaking 1696 z8763 such x428 words 1697 unto x413 them: for x3588 this x2088 man 376 seeketh 1875 z8802 not x369 the welfare 7965 of this x2088 people, 5971 but x3588 x518 the hurt. 7451

 38:5 Then Zedekiah 6667 the king 4428 said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 he x1931 [is] in your hand: 3027 for x3588 the king 4428 [is] not x369 [he that] can y3201 z8799 do x3201 [any] thing 1697 against you.

 38:6 Then took 3947 z8799 they x853 Jeremiah, 3414 and cast 7993 z8686 him into x413 the dungeon 953 of Malchiah 4441 the son 1121 of Hammelech, y4428 x4429 that x834 [was] in the court 2691 of the prison: 4307 and they let down 7971 z8762 x853 Jeremiah 3414 with cords. 2256 And in the dungeon 953 [there was] no x369 water, 4325 but x3588 x518 mire: 2916 so Jeremiah 3414 sunk 2883 z8799 in the mire. 2916

 38:7 ¶ Now when Ebedmelech 5663 the Ethiopian, 3569 one 376 of the eunuchs 5631 which x1931 was in the king's 4428 house, 1004 heard 8085 z8799 that x3588 they had put 5414 z8804 x853 Jeremiah 3414 in x413 the dungeon; 953 the king 4428 then sitting 3427 z8802 in the gate 8179 of Benjamin; 1144

 38:8 Ebedmelech 5663 went forth 3318 z8799 out of the king's 4428 house, 1004 x4480 and spake 1696 z8762 to x413 the king, 4428 saying, 559 z8800

 38:9 My adon 113 the king, 4428 these x428 men y582 x376 have done evil 7489 z8689 in x853 all x3605 that x834 they have done 6213 z8804 to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet, 5030 x853 whom x834 they have cast 7993 z8689 into x413 the dungeon; 953 and he is like to die 4191 z8799 for 6440 x4480 hunger 7458 in the place y8478 where x8478 he is: for x3588 [there is] no x369 more x5750 bread 3899 in the city. 5892

 38:10 Then the king 4428 commanded 6680 z8762 x853 Ebedmelech 5663 the Ethiopian, 3569 saying, 559 z8800 Take 3947 z8798 from hence x4480 x2088 thirty 7970 men y582 x376 with x3027 thee, y3027 and take up 5927 z8689 x853 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 out of x4480 the dungeon, 953 before x2962 he die. 4191 z8799

 38:11 So Ebedmelech 5663 took 3947 z8799 x853 the men y582 x376 with x3027 him, y3027 and went y935 z8799 into x935 the house 1004 of the king 4428 under x413 x8478 the treasury, 214 and took 3947 z8799 thence x4480 x8033 old 1094 cast clouts 5499 and old 1094 rotten rags, 4418 and let them down 7971 z8762 by cords 2256 into x413 the dungeon 953 to x413 Jeremiah. 3414

 38:12 And Ebedmelech 5663 the Ethiopian 3569 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 Put 7760 z8798 now x4994 [these] old 1094 cast clouts 5499 and rotten rags 4418 under x8478 thine armholes 679 3027 under x4480 x8478 the cords. 2256 And Jeremiah 3414 did 6213 z8799 so. x3651

 38:13 So they drew up 4900 z8799 x853 Jeremiah 3414 with cords, 2256 and took him up 5927 z8686 x853 out of x4480 the dungeon: 953 and Jeremiah 3414 remained 3427 z8799 in the court 2691 of the prison. 4307

 38:14 ¶ Then Zedekiah 6667 the king 4428 sent, 7971 z8799 and took 3947 z8799 x853 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 unto x413 him into x413 the third 7992 entry 3996 that x834 [is] in the house 1004 of Yahweh: 3068 and the king 4428 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 I x589 will ask 7592 z8802 thee a thing; 1697 hide 3582 z8762 nothing x408 x1697 from x4480 me.

 38:15 Then Jeremiah 3414 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Zedekiah, 6667 If x3588 I declare 5046 z8686 [it] unto thee, wilt thou not x3808 surely y4191 z8687 put me to death? 4191 z8686 and if x3588 I give thee counsel, 3289 z8799 wilt thou not x3808 hearken 8085 z8799 unto x413 me?

 38:16 So Zedekiah 6667 the king 4428 sware 7650 z8735 secretly 5643 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 saying, 559 z8800 [As] Yahweh 3068 liveth, 2416 x853 that x834 made 6213 z8804 us x853 this x2063 soul, 5315 I will not x518 put thee to death, 4191 z8686 neither x518 will I give 5414 z8799 thee into the hand 3027 of these x428 men y582 x376 that x834 seek 1245 z8764 x853 thy life. 5315

 38:17 Then said 559 z8799 Jeremiah 3414 unto x413 Zedekiah, 6667 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 Yahweh, 3068 the Elohim 430 Sabaoth, 6635 the Elohim 430 of Israel; 3478 If x518 thou wilt assuredly y3318 z8800 go forth 3318 z8799 unto x413 the king 4428 of Babylon's 894 princes, 8269 then thy soul 5315 shall live, 2421 z8804 and this x2063 city 5892 shall not x3808 be burned 8313 z8735 with fire; 784 and thou x859 shalt live, 2421 z8804 and thine house: 1004

 38:18 But if x518 thou wilt not x3808 go forth 3318 z8799 to x413 the king 4428 of Babylon's 894 princes, 8269 then shall this x2063 city 5892 be given 5414 z8738 into the hand 3027 of the Chaldeans, 3778 and they shall burn 8313 z8804 it with fire, 784 and thou x859 shalt not x3808 escape x4422 out y4422 z8735 of their hand. 3027 x4480

 38:19 And Zedekiah 6667 the king 4428 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 I x589 am afraid y1672 z8802 of x1672 x853 the Jews 3064 that x834 are fallen 5307 z8804 to x413 the Chaldeans, 3778 lest x6435 they deliver 5414 z8799 me into their hand, 3027 and they mock 5953 z8694 me.

 38:20 But Jeremiah 3414 said, 559 z8799 They shall not x3808 deliver 5414 z8799 [thee]. Obey, 8085 z8798 I beseech thee, x4994 the voice 6963 of Yahweh, 3068 which x834 I x589 speak 1696 z8802 unto x413 thee: so it shall be well 3190 z8799 unto thee, and thy soul 5315 shall live. 2421 z8799

 38:21 But if x518 thou x859 refuse 3986 to go forth, 3318 z8800 this x2088 [is] the word 1697 that x834 Yahweh 3068 hath shewed 7200 z8689 me:

 38:22 And, behold, x2009 all x3605 the women 802 that x834 are left 7604 z8738 in the king 4428 of Judah's 3063 house 1004 [shall be] brought forth 3318 z8716 to x413 the king 4428 of Babylon's 894 princes, 8269 and those x2007 [women] shall say, 559 z8802 Thy friends 7965 y582 x376 have set x5496 thee on, y5496 z8689 and have prevailed 3201 z8804 against thee: thy feet 7272 are sunk 2883 z8717 in the mire, 1206 [and] they are turned away 5472 z8738 back. 268

 38:23 So they shall bring out 3318 z8688 all x3605 thy wives 802 and thy children 1121 to x413 the Chaldeans: 3778 and thou x859 shalt not x3808 escape x4422 out y4422 z8735 of their hand, 3027 x4480 but x3588 shalt be taken 8610 z8735 by the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Babylon: 894 and thou shalt cause this x2063 city 5892 to be burned 8313 z8799 with fire. 784

 38:24 ¶ Then said 559 z8799 Zedekiah 6667 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 Let no x408 man 376 know 3045 z8799 of these x428 words, 1697 and thou shalt not x3808 die. 4191 z8799

 38:25 But if x3588 the princes 8269 hear 8085 z8799 that x3588 I have talked 1696 z8765 with x854 thee, and they come 935 z8804 unto x413 thee, and say 559 z8804 unto x413 thee, Declare 5046 z8685 unto us now x4994 what x4100 thou hast said 1696 z8765 unto x413 the king, 4428 hide 3582 z8762 it not x408 from x4480 us, and we will not x3808 put thee to death; 4191 z8686 also what x4100 the king 4428 said 1696 z8765 unto x413 thee:

 38:26 Then thou shalt say 559 z8804 unto x413 them, I x589 presented 5307 z8688 my supplication 8467 before 6440 the king, 4428 that he would not x1115 cause me to return 7725 z8687 to Jonathan's y3083 x3129 house, 1004 to die 4191 z8800 there. x8033

 38:27 Then came 935 z8799 all x3605 the princes 8269 unto x413 Jeremiah, 3414 and asked 7592 z8799 him: and he told 5046 z8686 them according to all x3605 these x428 words 1697 that x834 the king 4428 had commanded. 6680 z8765 So they left off speaking 2790 z8686 with x4480 him; for x3588 the matter 1697 was not x3808 perceived. 8085 z8738

 38:28 So Jeremiah 3414 abode 3427 z8799 in the court 2691 of the prison 4307 until x5704 the day 3117 that x834 Jerusalem 3389 was taken: 3920 z8738 and he was x1961 [there] when x834 Jerusalem 3389 was taken. 3920 z8738
