- And they:
- "But I¹ [was] like a lambª [or] an oxª [that] is broughtª° to the slaughter;ª° and I knewª° not¹ that¹ they had devisedª° devicesª against¹ me, [saying], Let us destroyª° the treeª with the fruitª thereof, and let us cut him offª° from the landª¹ of the living,ª that his nameª may be no¹ more¹ remembered.ª°" {Jer 11:19} + "Woeª is me, my mother,ª that¹ thou hast borneª° me a manª of strifeª and a manª of contentionª to the whole¹ earth!ª I have neither¹ lent on usury,ª° nor¹ men have lent to me on usury;ª° [yet] every one¹ of them doth curseª° me. ... And I will deliverª° thee out of the handª¹ of the wicked,ª and I will redeemª° thee out of the handª¹ of the terrible.ª" {Jer 15:10-21} + "Now Pashurª the sonª of Immerª the priest,ª who¹ [was] also chief²¹ governor²¹ in the houseª of the LORD,ª heardª° that¹ Jeremiahª prophesiedª°¹ these¹ things.ª ... And thou,¹ Pashur,ª and all¹ that dwellª° in thine houseª shall go²°¹ into captivity:ª and thou shalt comeª° to Babylon,ª and there¹ thou shalt die,ª° and shalt be buriedª° there,¹ thou,¹ and all¹ thy friends,ª° to whom¹ thou hast prophesiedª° lies.ª" {Jer 20:1-6} + "Then spakeª° the priestsª and the prophetsª unto¹ the princesª and to¹ all¹ the people,ª saying,ª° This¹ manª [is] worthyª to die;ª for¹ he hath prophesiedª° against¹ this¹ city,ª as¹ ye have heardª° with your ears.ª ... Nevertheless¹ the handª of Ahikamª the sonª of Shaphanª was¹ with¹ Jeremiah,ª that they should not¹ giveª° him into the handª of the peopleª to put him to death.ª°" {Jer 26:11-24} + "Thus¹ speakethª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel,ª saying,ª° Because¹¹ thou¹ hast sentª° lettersª in thy nameª unto¹ all¹ the peopleª that¹ [are] at Jerusalem,ª and to¹ Zephaniahª the sonª of Maaseiahª the priest,ª and to¹ all¹ the priests,ª saying,ª° ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will punishª°¹ Shemaiahª the Nehelamite,ª and his seed:ª he shall not¹ have¹ a manª to dwellª° amongª this¹ people;ª neither¹ shall he beholdª° the goodª that¹ I¹ will doª° for my people,ª saithª° the LORD;ª because¹ he hath taughtª° rebellionª against¹ the LORD.ª" {Jer 29:25-32} + "And it came to pass,¹ that when the armyª of the Chaldeansª was broken upª° from¹¹ Jerusalemª for fearª¹ of Pharaoh'sª army,ª ... Then Zedekiahª the kingª commandedª° that they should commitª°¹ Jeremiahª into the courtª of the prison,ª and that they should giveª° him dailyª a pieceª of breadª out of the bakers'ª° street,ª¹ until¹ all¹ the breadª in¹ the cityª were spent.ª° Thus Jeremiahª remainedª° in the courtª of the prison.ª" {Jer 37:11-21} + "Then tookª° they¹ Jeremiah,ª and castª° him into¹ the dungeonª of Malchiahª the sonª of Hammelech,²¹ that¹ [was] in the courtª of the prison:ª and they let downª°¹ Jeremiahª with cords.ª And in the dungeonª [there was] no¹ water,ª but¹¹ mire:ª so Jeremiahª sunkª° in the mire.ª ...
