Jeremiah 21

KJV

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when king⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ him ⁸⁵³ Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Melchiah,⁴⁴⁴¹ and Zephaniah⁶⁸⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Maaseiah⁴⁶⁴¹ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Inquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for¹¹⁵⁷ us; for³⁵⁸⁸ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ maketh war³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ us; if so be¹⁹⁴ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will deal⁶²¹³ with⁸⁵⁴ us according to all³⁶⁰⁵ his wondrous works,⁶³⁸¹ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ from^{4480 5921} us.

3  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Zedekiah:⁶⁶⁶⁷

4  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will turn back^{5437 853} the weapons³⁶²⁷ of war⁴⁴²¹ that⁸³⁴ are in your hands,³⁰²⁷ wherewith⁸³⁴ ye⁸⁵⁹ fight³⁸⁹⁸ against ⁸⁵³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and against the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ which besiege^{6696 5921} you without^{4480 2351} the walls,²³⁴⁶ and I will assemble⁶²² them into⁴¹³ the midst⁸⁴³² of this²⁰⁶³ city.⁵⁸⁹²

5  And I myself⁵⁸⁹ will fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁸⁵⁴ you with an outstretched⁵¹⁸⁶ hand³⁰²⁷ and with a strong²³⁸⁹ arm,²²²⁰ even in anger,⁶³⁹ and in fury,²⁵³⁴ and in great¹⁴¹⁹ wrath.⁷¹¹⁰

6  And I will smite^{5221 853} the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² both man¹²⁰ and beast:⁹²⁹ they shall die⁴¹⁹¹ of a great¹⁴¹⁹ pestilence.¹⁶⁹⁸

7  And afterward,^{310 3651} saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I will deliver^{5414 853} Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and such as are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,³⁴¹ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of those that seek¹²⁴⁵ their life:⁵³¹⁵ and he shall smite⁵²²¹ them with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ he shall not³⁸⁰⁸ spare^{2347 5921} them, neither³⁸⁰⁸ have pity,²⁵⁵⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ have mercy.⁷³⁵⁵

8  And unto⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ thou shalt say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you ⁸⁵³ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of life,²⁴¹⁶ and the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of death.⁴¹⁹⁴

9  He that abideth³⁴²⁷ in this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall die⁴¹⁹¹ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and by the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by the pestilence:¹⁶⁹⁸ but he that goeth out,³³¹⁸ and falleth⁵³⁰⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ that besiege^{6696 5921} you, he shall live,²⁴²¹ and his life⁵³¹⁵ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ unto him for a prey.⁷⁹⁹⁸

10  For³⁵⁸⁸ I have set⁷⁷⁶⁰ my face⁶⁴⁴⁰ against this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² for evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and not³⁸⁰⁸ for good,²⁸⁹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ it shall be given⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and he shall burn⁸³¹³ it with fire.⁷⁸⁴

11  And touching the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ say, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸

12  O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David,¹⁷³² thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Execute¹⁷⁷⁷ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² and deliver⁵³³⁷ him that is spoiled¹⁴⁹⁷ out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the oppressor,⁶²³¹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ my fury²⁵³⁴ go out³³¹⁸ like fire,⁷⁸⁴ and burn¹¹⁹⁷ that none³⁶⁹ can quench³⁵¹⁸ it, because^{4480 6440} of the evil⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings.⁴⁶¹¹

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁴¹³ thee, O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of the valley,⁶⁰¹⁰ and rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ of the plain,⁴³³⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ which say,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ shall come down⁵¹⁸¹ against⁵⁹²¹ us? or who⁴³¹⁰ shall enter⁹³⁵ into our habitations?⁴⁵⁸⁵

14  But I will punish^{6485 5921} you according to the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of your doings,⁴⁶¹¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and I will kindle³³⁴¹ a fire⁷⁸⁴ in the forest³²⁹³ thereof, and it shall devour³⁹⁸ all things³⁶⁰⁵ round about⁵⁴³⁹ it.

1 ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος παρὰ κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν ὅτε ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σεδεκιας τὸν Πασχωρ υἱὸν Μελχιου καὶ Σοφονιαν υἱὸν Μαασαιου τὸν ἱερέα λέγων

2 ἐπερώτησον περὶ ἡμῶν τὸν κύριον ὅτι βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐφέστηκεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰ ποιήσει κύριος κατὰ πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν

3 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ιερεμιας οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα

4 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεταστρέφω τὰ ὅπλα τὰ πολεμικά ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς πολεμεῖτε ἐν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ἔξωθεν τοῦ τείχους εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως ταύτης

5 καὶ πολεμήσω ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ ἐκτεταμένῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι κραταιῷ μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς καὶ παροργισμοῦ μεγάλου

6 καὶ πατάξω πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἐν θανάτῳ μεγάλῳ καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται

7 καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως λέγει κύριος δώσω τὸν Σεδεκιαν βασιλέα Ιουδα καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν λαὸν τὸν καταλειφθέντα ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ θανάτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μαχαίρας εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας οὐ φείσομαι ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ μὴ οἰκτιρήσω αὐτούς

8 καὶ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐρεῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θανάτου

9 ὁ καθήμενος ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀποθανεῖται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος προσχωρῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ζήσεται καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς σκῦλα καὶ ζήσεται

10 διότι ἐστήρικα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος παραδοθήσεται καὶ κατακαύσει αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί

11 ὁ οἶκος βασιλέως Ιουδα ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου

12 οἶκος Δαυιδ τάδε λέγει κύριος κρίνατε τὸ πρωὶ κρίμα καὶ κατευθύνατε καὶ ἐξέλεσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτόν ὅπως μὴ ἀναφθῇ ὡς πῦρ ἡ ὀργή μου καὶ καυθήσεται καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων

13 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν κοιλάδα Σορ τὴν πεδινὴν τοὺς λέγοντας τίς πτοήσει ἡμᾶς ἢ τίς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς τὸ κατοικητήριον ἡμῶν

14 καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδεται πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς

Vul

1 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, quando misit ad eum rex Sedecias Phassur filium Melchiæ, et Sophoniam filium Maasiæ sacerdotem, dicens:

2 Interroga pro nobis Dominum, quia Nabuchodonosor, rex Babylonis, præliatur adversum nos: si forte faciat Dominus nobiscum secundum omnia mirabilia sua, et recedat a nobis.

3 Et dixit Jeremias ad eos: Sic dicetis Sedeciæ:

4 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Ecce ego convertam vasa belli quæ in manibus vestris sunt, et quibus vos pugnatis adversum regem Babylonis et Chaldæos qui obsident vos in circuitu murorum: et congregabo ea in medio civitatis hujus.

5 Et debellabo ego vos in manu extenta, et in brachio forti, et in furore, et in indignatione, et in ira grandi.

6 Et percutiam habitatores civitatis hujus: homines et bestiæ pestilentia magna morientur.

7 Et post hæc, ait Dominus, dabo Sedeciam regem Juda, et servos ejus, et populum ejus, et qui derelicti sunt in civitate hac a peste, et gladio, et fame, in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis, et in manu inimicorum eorum, et in manu quærentium animam eorum: et percutiet eos in ore gladii, et non flectetur, neque parcet, nec miserebitur.

8 Et ad populum hunc dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego do coram vobis viam vitæ, et viam mortis.

9 Qui habitaverit in urbe hac morietur gladio, et fame, et peste: qui autem egressus fuerit, et transfugerit ad Chaldæos qui obsident vos, vivet, et erit ei anima sua quasi spolium.

10 Posui enim faciem meam super civitatem hanc in malum, et non in bonum, ait Dominus: in manu regis Babylonis dabitur, et exuret eam igni.

11 Et domui regis Juda: [Audite verba Domini,

12 domus David.
Hæc dicit Dominus:
Judicate mane judicium,
et eruite vi oppressum de manu calumniantis,
ne forte egrediatur ut ignis indignatio mea,
et succendatur, et non sit qui extinguat,
propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum.

13 Ecce ego ad te, habitatricem vallis solidæ atque campestris,
ait Dominus:
qui dicitis: Quis percutiet nos?
et quis ingredietur domos nostras?

14 Et visitabo super vos juxta fructum studiorum vestrorum,
dicit Dominus:
et succendam ignem in saltu ejus,
et devorabit omnia in circuitu ejus.]
