10: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 thatH3588 afterH6310 are completedH4390 at BabylonH0894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 I will visitH6485 youH0853 and performH6965 toward youH5921 -H0853 My wordH1697 goodH2896 and cause to returnH7725 youH0853 toH0413 placeH4725 this.H2088

11: ForH3588 IH0595 knowH3045 -H0853 the thoughtsH4284 thatH0834 IH0595 thinkH2803 toward youH5921 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 thoughtsH4284 of peace,H7965 and notH3808 of evil,H7451 to giveH5414 a futureH0319 and a hope.H8615

12: And you will call uponH7121 MeH0853 and goH1980 and prayH6419 to MeH0413 and I will listenH8085 to you.H0413

13: And you will seekH1245 MeH0853 and find [Me]H4672 whenH3588 you search for MeH1875 with allH3605 your heart.H3824

14: And I will be foundH4672 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 and I will bring you back fromH7725 -H0853 your captivity,H7622 and I will gatherH6908 youH0853 from allH3605 the nations,H1471 and from allH3605 the placesH4725 whereH0834 I have drivenH5080 youH0853 there youH8033 saysH5002 Yahweh-H3068 and I will bringH7725 youH0853 toH0413 the placeH4725 from whichH0834 I cause to be carried away captiveH1540 youH0853 in it.H8033

15: BecauseH3588 you have said,H0559 has raised upH6965 YahwehH3068 prophetsH5030 in Babylon-H0894

16: thereforeH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 concerningH0413 the kingH4428 who sitsH3427 onH0413 the throneH3678 of David,H1732 and concerningH0413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 who dwellH3427 in city,H5892 thisH2063 and concerning your brothersH0251 whoH0834 notH3808 have gone outH3318 with youH0854 into captivity-H1473

17: thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts-H6635 behold IH2005 will sendH7971 -H0853 the sword,H2719 -H0853 the famine,H7458 andH0853 the pestilence,H1698 and will makeH5414 themH0853 like figsH8182 rotten,H8384 thatH0834 cannotH3808 be eaten,H0398 they are so bad.H7455

18: And I will pursueH7291 themH0310 with the sword,H2719 with famine,H7458 and with pestilence,H1698 and I will deliver themH5414 to troubleH2113 among allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earth,H0776 to [be] an oath,H0423 and an astonishment,H8047 and a hissing,H8322 and a reproach,H2781 among allH3605 the nationsH1471 whereH0834 I have driven themH5080 there.H8033

19: BecauseH8478 thatH0834 notH3808 they have heededH8085 untoH0413 My words,H1697 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 whichH0834 I sentH7971 to themH0413 byH0854 My servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 rising up earlyH7925 and sending [them]H7971 and neitherH3808 would you heed,H8085 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

20: Therefore youH0859 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 all youH3605 of the captivity,H1473 whomH0834 I have sentH7971 from JerusalemH3389 to Babylon.H0894

21: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 concerningH0413 AhabH0256 sonH1121 of Kolaiah,H6964 andH0413 ZedekiahH6667 sonH1121 of Maaseiah,H4641 who prophesyH5012 in My name-H8034 a lieH8267 behold IH2005 will deliverH5414 themH0853 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon-H0894 and he shall slay themH5221 before your eyes-H5869

22: and shall be taken upH3947 because of themH1992 a curseH7045 by allH3605 the captivityH1546 of JudahH3063 who [are]H0834 in Babylon,H0894 saying,H0559 make youH7760 YahwehH3068 like ZedekiahH6667 and Ahab,H0256 whomH0834 roastedH7033 the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 in the fire-H0784

23: becauseH3282 thatH0834 they have doneH6213 disgraceful [things]H5039 in Israel,H3478 and have committed adulteryH5003 withH0854 wives,H0802 their neighbors'H7453 and have spokenH1696 wordsH1697 in My name,H8034 lyingH8267 whichH0834 notH3808 I have commanded themH6680 and indeed IH0595 knowH1931 and [am] a witness,H5707 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068

24: And toH0413 ShemaiahH8098 the Nehelamite,H5161 You shall speakH0559 saying,H0559

25: thusH3541 speaksH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 becauseH3282 thatH0834 YouH0859 have sentH7971 in your nameH8034 lettersH5612 toH0413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [are]H0834 at Jerusalem,H3389 and toH0413 ZephaniahH6846 sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priest,H3548 and toH0413 allH3605 the priests,H3548 saying,H0559

26: YahwehH3068 has made youH5414 priestH3548 insteadH8478 of JehoiadaH3077 the priest,H3548 so that there should beH1961 officersH6496 [in] the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 over everyH3605 manH0376 [who] is demented,H7696 and considers himself a prophet,H5012 that you should putH5414 himH0853 inH0413 prison,H4115 and inH0413 the stocks.H6729

27: Therefore nowH6258 whyH4100 notH3808 have you reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of Anathoth,H6069 who makes himself a prophetH5012

28: ForH3588 uponH5921 thusH3651 he has sentH7971 to usH0413 [in] Babylon,H0894 saying,H0559 [is] long-H0752 that [captivity]H1931 buildH1129 houses,H1004 and dwell [in them]H3427 and plantH5193 gardens,H1593 and eatH0398 -H0853 their fruit.H6529

29: And readH7121 ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 -H0853 letterH5612 thisH2088 in the hearingH0241 of JeremiahH3414 the prophet.H5030

30: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 Jeremiah,H3414 saying,H0559

31: SendH7971 toH5921 all those inH3605 captivity,H1473 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 concerningH0413 ShemaiahH8098 the Nehelamite-H5161 becauseH3282 thatH0834 has prophesiedH5012 ShemaiahH8098 and IH0589 not,H3808 have sent himH7971 and he has caused to trustH0982 youH0853 inH5921 a lie,H8267

32: thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3069 behold IH2005 will punishH6485 uponH5921 ShemaiahH8098 the Nehelamite,H5161 andH5921 his family-H2233 notH3808 he shall haveH1961 anyoneH0376 to dwellH3427 amongH8432 people-H5971 thisH2088 norH3808 shall he seeH7200 the goodH2896 thatH0834 IH0589 will doH6213 for My people,H5971 saysH5002 YahwehH3069 becauseH3588 rebellionH5627 he has taughtH1696 againstH5921 Yahweh.H3069
