9: My lordH0113 the king,H4428 have done evilH7489 menH0376 theseH0428 -H0853 in allH3605 thatH0834 they have doneH6213 to JeremiahH3414 the prophet,H5030 -H0853 whomH0834 they have castH7993 intoH0413 the dungeon-H0953 and he is likely to dieH4191 in the place where he isH8478 fromH6440 hungerH7458 forH3588 [there is] noH0369 breadH3899 moreH5750 in the city.H5892

10: And commandedH6680 the kingH4428 -H0853 Ebed-melechH5663 the Ethiopian,H3569 saying,H0559 takeH3947 with youH3027 from this [place]H2088 thirtyH7970 menH0376 and liftH5927 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 outH4480 of the dungeon,H0953 beforeH2962 he dies.H4191

11: So tookH3947 Ebed-melechH5663 -H0853 the menH0376 with himH3027 and went intoH0935 the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 underH0413 underH8478 the treasury,H0214 and tookH3947 from thereH8033 oldH1094 clothesH5499 and oldH1094 rags,H4418 and let them downH7971 toH0413 Jeremiah.H3414 IntoH0413 the dungeonH0953 by ropes.H2256

12: And saidH0559 Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569 toH0413 Jeremiah,H3414 putH7760 pleaseH4994 oldH1094 these clothesH5499 and ragsH4418 underH8478 -H0679 your armpitsH3027 underH8478 under the ropes.H2256 And didH6213 JeremiahH3414 so.H3651

13: So they pulled upH4900 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 with ropes,H2256 and liftedH5927 himH0853 outH4480 of the dungeon,H0953 and remainedH3427 JeremiahH3414 in the courtH2691 of the prison.H4307

14: And sent,H7971 the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 and had broughtH3947 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 to himH0413 atH0413 entranceH3996 the thirdH7992 thatH0834 of the houseH1004 of Yahweh-H3068 and saidH0559 the kingH4428 toH0413 Jeremiah,H3414 will askH7592 IH0589 youH0853 something-H1697 nothingH0408 HideH3582 from meH4480 nothing.H1697

15: And saidH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 Zedekiah,H6667 ifH3588 I declare [it]H5046 will notH3808 surelyH4191 you put me to death?H4191 and ifH3588 I give you advice,H3289 notH3808 you will listenH8085 to me.H0413

16: So sworeH7650 the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 toH0413 Jeremiah,H3414 secretlyH5643 saying,H0559 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 -H0853 not whoH0834 madeH6213 -H0853 soul,H5315 thisH2063 notH0518 I will put you to death,H4191 norH0518 will I give youH5414 into the handH3027 of menH0376 theseH0428 whoH0834 seekH1245 -H0853 your life.H5315

17: And saidH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 Zedekiah,H6667 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 the GodH0430 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 ifH0518 surelyH3318 you surrenderH3318 toH0413 princes,H8269 the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 then shall live,H2421 your soulH5315 and cityH5892 thisH2063 notH3808 shall be burnedH8313 with fire-H0784 and shall live,H2421 youH0859 and your house-H1004

18: but ifH0518 notH3808 you do surrenderH3318 toH0413 princes,H8269 the kingH4428 of BabylonH0894 then shall be givenH5414 cityH5892 thisH2063 into the handH3027 of the Chaldeans,H3778 and they shall burn itH8313 with fire,H0784 and youH0859 notH3808 shall escapeH4422 from their hand.H3027

19: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 toH0413 Jeremiah,H3414 IH0589 am afraidH1672 ofH0853 the JewsH3064 whoH0834 have defectedH5307 toH0413 the Chaldeans,H3778 lestH6435 they deliverH5414 meH0853 into their hand,H3027 and they abuseH5953

20: But said,H0559 JeremiahH3414 notH3808 they shall deliver [you]H5414 obey,H8085 please,H4994 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh,H3068 whichH0834 IH0589 speakH1696 to youH0413 so it shall be wellH3190 and shall liveH2421 your soul.H5315

21: But ifH0518 refuseH3986 youH0859 to surrender,H3318 this [is]H2088 the wordH1697 thatH0834 has shown meH7200 Yahweh.H3068

23: SoH0853 and allH3605 your wivesH0802 andH0853 childrenH1121 they shall surrenderH3318 and toH0413 the Chaldeans,H3778 YouH0859 notH3808 shall escapeH4422 from their hand,H3027 butH3588 by the handH3027 of the kingH4428 and Babylon,H0894 shall be takenH8610 andH0853 cityH5892 thisH2063 You shall cause to be burnedH8313 and with fire.H0784

25: But ifH3588 hearH8085 the princesH8269 thatH3588 I have talkedH1696 with youH0854 and they comeH0935 to youH0413 and sayH0559 to youH0413 DeclareH5046 nowH4994 whatH4100 you have saidH1696 toH0413 the king,H4428 notH0408 do hide [it]H3582 from usH4480 and notH3808 we will put you to death-H4191 and whatH4100 saidH1696 to youH0413 the king.H4428

26: Then you shall sayH0559 to themH0413 presentedH5307 IH0589 my requestH8467 beforeH6440 the king,H4428 that he would notH1115 make me returnH7725 to house,H1004 of JonathanH3083 to dieH4191 there.H8033
