1: The wordH1697 thatH0834 cameH1961 toH0413 JeremiahH3414 concerningH0413 allH3605 the JewsH3064 who dwellH3427 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 who dwellH3427 at Migdol,H4024 and at Tahpanhes,H8471 and at Noph,H5297 and in the countryH0776 of Pathros,H6624 saying,H0559

2: thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 YouH0859 have seenH7200 -H0853 allH3605 the calamityH7451 thatH0834 I have broughtH0935 onH5921 Jerusalem,H3389 and onH5921 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of Judah-H3063 and behold they [are]H2005 a desolation,H2723 dayH3117 thisH2088 and no oneH0369 dwells.H3427

3: BecauseH6440 of their wickednessH7451 whichH0834 they have committedH6213 to provoke Me to anger,H3707 in that they wentH1980 to burn incense,H6999 [and] to serveH5647 gods,H0430 otherH0312 whomH0834 not,H3808 they did knowH3045 they,H1992 [nor] you,H0859 nor your fathers.H0001

4: And However I have sentH7971 to youH0413 -H0853 allH3605 My servantsH5650 the prophets,H5030 rising earlyH7925 and sending [them]H7971 saying,H0559 do notH0408 Oh,H4994 doH6213 -H0853 thingH1697 abominableH8441 thisH2063 thatH0834 I hate.H8130

5: But not,H3808 they did listenH8085 orH3808 inclineH5186 -H0853 their earH0241 to turnH7725 from their wickedness,H7451 to noH1115 burn incenseH6999 to godsH0430 other.H0312

6: So were poured out,H5413 My furyH2534 and My angerH0639 and kindledH1197 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of Jerusalem-H3389 and they areH1961 wastedH2723 [and] desolate,H8077 as it is dayH3117 this.H2088

7: Therefore nowH6258 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 the GodH0430 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 whyH4100 youH0859 do commitH6213 [this] evilH7451 greatH1419 againstH0413 yourselves,H5315 to cut offH3772 manH0376 and woman,H0802 childH5768 and infant,H3243 outH8432 of Judah,H3063 noneH1115 leavingH3498 remain-H7611

8: in that you provoke Me to wrathH3707 with the worksH4639 of your hands,H3027 burning incenseH6999 to godsH0430 otherH0312 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 whereH0834 youH0859 have goneH0935 to dwell,H1481 thereH8033 thatH4616 you may cut off,H3772 andH4616 beH1961 a curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earth?H0776

9: have you forgottenH7911 -H0853 the wickednessH7451 of your fathers,H0001 andH0853 the wickednessH7451 of the kingsH4428 of Judah,H3063 andH0853 the wickednessH7451 of their wives,H0802 andH0853 your own wickedness,H7451 andH0853 the wickednessH7451 of your wives,H0802 whichH0834 they committedH6213 in the landH0776 of Judah,H3063 and in the streetsH2351 of Jerusalem?H3389

10: notH3808 they have been humbledH1792 toH5704 day,H3117 thisH2088 norH3808 have they feared,H3372 and notH3808 they have walkedH1980 in My law,H8451 or in My statutes,H2708 thatH0834 I setH5414 before youH6440 andH6440 your fathers.H0001

11: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel-H3478 behold IH2005 will setH7760 My faceH6440 for catastrophe,H7451 for cutting offH3772 -H0853 allH3605 Judah.H3063

12: And I will takeH3947 -H0853 the remnantH7611 of Judah,H3063 whoH0834 have setH7760 their facesH6440 to go intoH0935 the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 to dwellH1481 there,H8033 and they shall be consumed,H8552 allH3605 in the landH0776 of Egypt-H4714 [and] fallH5307 by the swordH2719 [and] by famine.H7458 They shall be consumedH8552 from the leastH6996 and toH5704 the greatest,H1419 by the swordH2719 and by famine-H7458 they shall die,H4191 and they shall beH1961 an oath,H0423 an astonishment,H8047 and a curse,H7045 and a reproach.H2781

13: For I will punishH6485 uponH5921 those who dwellH3427 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 asH0834 I have punishedH6485 uponH5921 Jerusalem,H3389 by the sword,H2719 by famine,H7458 and by pestilence.H1698

14: So that noneH3808 shallH1961 escapeH6412 or survive,H8300 of the remnantH7611 of Judah,H3063 who have goneH0935 to dwellH1481 there,H8033 into the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 and lest they return toH7725 the landH0776 of Judah,H3063 to whichH0834 theyH1992 desireH5375 -H0853 a desireH5315 to returnH7725 and dwellH3427 there-H8033 forH3588 noneH3808 shall returnH7725 forH3588 exceptH0518 those who escape.H6412

15: And answeredH6030 -H0853 Jeremiah,H3414 allH3605 the menH0376 who knewH3045 thatH3588 had burned incenseH6999 their wivesH0802 to gods,H0430 otherH0312 and with allH3605 the womenH0802 who stood by,H5975 a multitude,H6951 greatH1419 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who dweltH3427 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 in Pathros,H6624 saying,H0559

16: [As for] the wordH1697 thatH0834 you have spokenH1696 to usH0413 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 notH0369 we will listenH8085 to you.H0413

17: ButH3588 surelyH6213 we will doH6213 -H0853 whateverH3605 thingH1697 whateverH0834 has goneH3318 out of our own mouth,H6310 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heaven,H8064 and pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 asH0834 we have done,H6213 we,H0587 and our fathers,H0001 our kings,H4428 and our princes,H8269 in the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 and in the streetsH2351 of Jerusalem-H3389 for [then] we had plentyH7646 of food,H3899 and wereH1961 well-off,H2896 and troubleH7451 noH3808 saw.H7200

18: But sinceH4480 forH0227 we stoppedH2308 burning incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heaven,H8064 and pouring outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 we have lackedH2637 everythingH3605 and by the swordH2719 and by famineH7458 have been consumed.H8552

19: And [The women also said] and whenH3588 weH0587 burned incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heaven,H8064 and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 did withoutH1107 our husbands' [permission]H0582 we makeH6213 cakesH3561 to worship herH6087 and pour outH5258 drink offerings.H5262

20: And spokeH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 allH3605 the people,H5971 toH5921 the men,H1397 andH5921 the women,H0802 andH5921 allH3605 the peopleH5971 who had givenH6030 himH0853 [that] answerH1697 saying,H0559

21: did notH3808 -H0853 the incenseH6999 thatH0834 you burnedH7002 in the citiesH5892 of Judah,H3063 and in the streetsH2351 of Jerusalem,H3389 you,H0859 and your fathers,H0001 your kings,H4428 and your princes,H8269 and the peopleH5971 of the land,H0776 themH0853 rememberH2142 YahwehH3068 and did it [not] comeH5927 intoH5921 His mind?H3820

22: so noH3808 couldH3201 YahwehH3068 longerH5750 bear [it],H5375 becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doings,H4611 [and] becauseH6440 of the abominationsH8441 whichH0834 you committed-H6213 therefore isH1961 your landH0776 a desolation,H2723 and an astonishment,H8047 and a curse,H7045 and withoutH0369 an inhabitant,H3427 as [it is] dayH3117 this.H2088

23: Before the face ofH6440 becauseH0834 you have burned incense,H6999 and becauseH0834 you have sinnedH2398 against YahwehH3069 and notH3808 have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of YahwehH3069 and in His law,H8451 and in His statutes,H2708 or in His testimonies-H5715 orH3808 walkedH1980 uponH5921 thusH3651 has happenedH7122 to youH0853 calamityH7451 thisH2063 as [at] dayH3117 this.H2088

24: Moreover saidH0559 JeremiahH3414 toH0413 allH3605 the people,H5971 and toH0413 allH3605 the women,H0802 HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 allH3605 JudahH3063 who [are]H0834 in the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714

25: thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 saying-H0559 YouH0859 and your wivesH0802 and have spokenH1696 with your mouths,H6310 and with your hands,H3027 fulfilledH4390 saying,H0559 surelyH6213 we will keepH6213 -H0853 our vowsH5088 thatH0834 we have made,H5087 to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heaven,H8064 and pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 surelyH6965 You will keepH6965 -H0853 your vows,H5088 andH6213 performH6213 -H0853 your vows.H5088

26: ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh,H3068 allH3605 JudahH3063 who dwellH3427 in the landH0776 of Egypt-H4714 behold IH2005 have swornH7650 by My name,H8034 greatH1419 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 noH0518 that shall beH1961 moreH5750 My nameH8034 namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of anyH3605 manH0376 of JudahH3063 saying,H0559 lives.H2416 The LordH0136 GODH3069 in allH3605 the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714

27: behold IH2005 will watchH8245 over themH5921 for adversity,H7451 and notH3808 for good-H2896 and shall be consumedH8552 allH3605 the menH0376 of JudahH3063 who [are]H0834 in the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 by the swordH2719 and by famine,H7458 untilH5704 there is an end to them.H3615

28: And yet who escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall returnH7725 fromH4480 the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 to the landH0776 of Judah,H3063 smallH4962 a numberH4557 and shall knowH3045 allH3605 the remnantH7611 of Judah,H3063 who have goneH0935 to the landH0776 of EgyptH4714 to dwellH1481 there,H8033 the wordH1697 of whomH4310 will stand,H6965 Mine,H4480 or theirs.H1992

29: And this [shall be]H2063 a signH0226 saysH5002 Yahweh,H3068 thatH3588 will punishH6485 IH0589 youH5921 in place,H4725 thisH2088 thatH4616 you may knowH3045 thatH3588 surelyH6965 will standH6965 My wordsH1697 against youH5921 for adversity-H7451

30: thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh-H3068 behold IH2005 will giveH5414 -H0853 HophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 into the handH3027 of his enemies,H0341 and into the handH3027 of those who seekH1245 his life-H5315 asH0834 I gaveH5414 -H0853 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H0894 his enemy,H0341 and who soughtH1245 his life.H5315
