Jeremiah 38

KJV

1  Then Shephatiah⁸²⁰³ the son¹¹²¹ of Mattan,⁴⁹⁷⁷ and Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Pashur,⁶⁵⁸³ and Jucal³¹¹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shelemiah,⁸⁰¹⁸ and Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Malchiah,⁴⁴⁴¹ heard^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ He that remaineth³⁴²⁷ in this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall die⁴¹⁹¹ by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ by the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by the pestilence:¹⁶⁹⁸ but he that goeth forth³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ shall live;²⁴²¹ for he shall have¹⁹⁶¹ his life⁵³¹⁵ for a prey,⁷⁹⁹⁸ and shall live.²⁴²⁵

3  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ This²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall surely be given^{5414 5414} into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon's⁸⁹⁴ army,²⁴²⁸ which shall take³⁹²⁰ it.

4  Therefore the princes⁸²⁶⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ We beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ man³⁷⁶ be put to death:⁴¹⁹¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thus^{5921 3651} he¹⁹³¹ weakeneth^{7503 853} the hands³⁰²⁷ of the men³⁷⁶ of war⁴⁴²¹ that remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ in this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and the hands³⁰²⁷ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ in speaking¹⁶⁹⁶ such⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ man³⁷⁶ seeketh¹⁸⁷⁵ not³⁶⁹ the welfare⁷⁹⁶⁵ of this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ but^{3588 518} the hurt.⁷⁴⁵¹

5  Then Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he¹⁹³¹ is in your hand:³⁰²⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ is not³⁶⁹ he that can do³²⁰¹ any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ against you.

6  Then took³⁹⁴⁷ they ⁸⁵³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ him into⁴¹³ the dungeon⁹⁵³ of Malchiah⁴⁴⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hammelech,⁴⁴²⁹ that⁸³⁴ was in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the prison:⁴³⁰⁷ and they let down^{7971 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ with cords.²²⁵⁶ And in the dungeon⁹⁵³ there was no³⁶⁹ water,⁴³²⁵ but^{3588 518} mire:²⁹¹⁶ so Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ sunk²⁸⁸³ in the mire.²⁹¹⁶

7  Now when Ebed-melech⁵⁶⁶³ the Ethiopian,³⁵⁶⁹ one³⁷⁶ of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ which¹⁹³¹ was in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ they had put^{5414 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ in⁴¹³ the dungeon;⁹⁵³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ then sitting³⁴²⁷ in the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Benjamin;¹¹⁴⁴

8  Ebed-melech⁵⁶⁶³ went forth³³¹⁸ out of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,^{4480 1004} and spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

9  My lord¹¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ these⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ have done evil⁷⁴⁸⁹ in ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ they have done⁶²¹³ to Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet,^{5030 853} whom⁸³⁴ they have cast⁷⁹⁹³ into⁴¹³ the dungeon;⁹⁵³ and he is like to die⁴¹⁹¹ for^{4480 6440} hunger⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the place where⁸⁴⁷⁸ he is: for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ bread³⁸⁹⁹ in the city.⁵⁸⁹²

10  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded^{6680 853} Ebed-melech⁵⁶⁶³ the Ethiopian,³⁵⁶⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ from hence^{4480 2088} thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ men³⁷⁶ with³⁰²⁷ thee, and take up^{5927 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the dungeon,⁹⁵³ before²⁹⁶² he die.⁴¹⁹¹

11  So Ebed-melech⁵⁶⁶³ took^{3947 853} the men³⁷⁶ with³⁰²⁷ him, and went into⁹³⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ under^{413 8478} the treasury,²¹⁴ and took³⁹⁴⁷ thence^{4480 8033} old¹⁰⁹⁴ cast clouts⁵⁴⁹⁹ and old¹⁰⁹⁴ rotten rags,⁴⁴¹⁸ and let them down⁷⁹⁷¹ by cords²²⁵⁶ into⁴¹³ the dungeon⁹⁵³ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah.³⁴¹⁴

12  And Ebed-melech⁵⁶⁶³ the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ Put⁷⁷⁶⁰ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ these old¹⁰⁹⁴ cast clouts⁵⁴⁹⁹ and rotten rags⁴⁴¹⁸ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ thine armholes^{679 3027} under^{4480 8478} the cords.²²⁵⁶ And Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ did⁶²¹³ so.³⁶⁵¹

13  So they drew up^{4900 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ with cords,²²⁵⁶ and took him up^{5927 853} out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the dungeon:⁹⁵³ and Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ remained³⁴²⁷ in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the prison.⁴³⁰⁷

14  Then Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and took^{3947 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ unto⁴¹³ him into⁴¹³ the third⁷⁹⁹² entry³⁹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ will ask⁷⁵⁹² thee a thing;¹⁶⁹⁷ hide³⁵⁸² nothing^{408 1697} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me.

15  Then Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Zedekiah,⁶⁶⁶⁷ If³⁵⁸⁸ I declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ it unto thee, wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ surely put me to death?^{4191 4191} and if³⁵⁸⁸ I give thee counsel,³²⁸⁹ wilt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me?

16  So Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ secretly⁵⁶⁴³ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,^{2416 853} that⁸³⁴ made⁶²¹³ us ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁶³ soul,⁵³¹⁵ I will not⁵¹⁸ put thee to death,⁴¹⁹¹ neither⁵¹⁸ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee into the hand³⁰²⁷ of these⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ seek^{1245 853} thy life.⁵³¹⁵

17  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ Zedekiah,⁶⁶⁶⁷ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the God⁴³⁰ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ If⁵¹⁸ thou wilt assuredly go forth^{3318 3318} unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon's⁸⁹⁴ princes,⁸²⁶⁹ then thy soul⁵³¹⁵ shall live,²⁴²¹ and this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be burned⁸³¹³ with fire;⁷⁸⁴ and thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt live,²⁴²¹ and thine house:¹⁰⁰⁴

18  But if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt not³⁸⁰⁸ go forth³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon's⁸⁹⁴ princes,⁸²⁶⁹ then shall this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² be given⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ and they shall burn⁸³¹³ it with fire,⁷⁸⁴ and thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ escape⁴⁴²² out of their hand.^{4480 3027}

19  And Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am afraid of^{1672 853} the Jews³⁰⁶⁴ that⁸³⁴ are fallen⁵³⁰⁷ to⁴¹³ the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ lest⁶⁴³⁵ they deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ me into their hand,³⁰²⁷ and they mock⁵⁹⁵³ me.

20  But Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ said,⁵⁵⁹ They shall not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ thee. Obey,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee: so it shall be well³¹⁹⁰ unto thee, and thy soul⁵³¹⁵ shall live.²⁴²¹

21  But if⁵¹⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ refuse³⁹⁸⁶ to go forth,³³¹⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ is the word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath showed⁷²⁰⁰ me:

22  And, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the women⁸⁰² that⁸³⁴ are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah's³⁰⁶³ house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall be brought forth³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon's⁸⁹⁴ princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and those²⁰⁰⁷ women shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Thy friends^{376 7965} have set⁵⁴⁹⁶ thee on, and have prevailed³²⁰¹ against thee: thy feet⁷²⁷² are sunk²⁸⁸³ in the mire,¹²⁰⁶ and they are turned away⁵⁴⁷² back.²⁶⁸

23  So they shall bring out³³¹⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ thy wives⁸⁰² and thy children¹¹²¹ to⁴¹³ the Chaldeans:³⁷⁷⁸ and thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ escape⁴⁴²² out of their hand,^{4480 3027} but³⁵⁸⁸ shalt be taken⁸⁶¹⁰ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon:⁸⁹⁴ and thou shalt cause this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² to be burned⁸³¹³ with fire.⁷⁸⁴

24  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ Let no⁴⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ know³⁰⁴⁵ of these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ and thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ die.⁴¹⁹¹

25  But if³⁵⁸⁸ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ I have talked¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ thee, and they come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee, and say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee, Declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ unto us now⁴⁹⁹⁴ what⁴¹⁰⁰ thou hast said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ hide³⁵⁸² it not⁴⁰⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ us, and we will not³⁸⁰⁸ put thee to death;⁴¹⁹¹ also what⁴¹⁰⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee:

26  Then thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, I⁵⁸⁹ presented⁵³⁰⁷ my supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ that he would not¹¹¹⁵ cause me to return⁷⁷²⁵ to Jonathan's³¹²⁹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ to die⁴¹⁹¹ there.⁸⁰³³

27  Then came⁹³⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ the princes⁸²⁶⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jeremiah,³⁴¹⁴ and asked⁷⁵⁹² him: and he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ them according to all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ words¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ had commanded.⁶⁶⁸⁰ So they left off speaking²⁷⁹⁰ with⁴⁴⁸⁰ him; for³⁵⁸⁸ the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ was not³⁸⁰⁸ perceived.⁸⁰⁸⁵

28  So Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ abode³⁴²⁷ in the court²⁶⁹¹ of the prison⁴³⁰⁷ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ was taken:³⁹²⁰ and he was¹⁹⁶¹ there when⁸³⁴ Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ was taken.³⁹²⁰

1 ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ ἐκείνῳ εἶπεν κύριος ἔσομαι εἰς θεὸν τῷ γένει Ισραηλ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν

2 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος εὗρον θερμὸν ἐν ἐρήμῳ μετὰ ὀλωλότων ἐν μαχαίρᾳ βαδίσατε καὶ μὴ ὀλέσητε τὸν Ισραηλ

3 κύριος πόρρωθεν ὤφθη αὐτῷ ἀγάπησιν αἰωνίαν ἠγάπησά σε διὰ τοῦτο εἵλκυσά σε εἰς οἰκτίρημα

4 ἔτι οἰκοδομήσω σε καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ παρθένος Ισραηλ ἔτι λήμψῃ τύμπανόν σου καὶ ἐξελεύσῃ μετὰ συναγωγῆς παιζόντων

5 ἔτι φυτεύσατε ἀμπελῶνας ἐν ὄρεσιν Σαμαρείας φυτεύσατε καὶ αἰνέσατε

6 ὅτι ἔστιν ἡμέρα κλήσεως ἀπολογουμένων ἐν ὄρεσιν Εφραιμ ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀνάβητε εἰς Σιων πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν

7 ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ιακωβ εὐφράνθητε καὶ χρεμετίσατε ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν ἐθνῶν ἀκουστὰ ποιήσατε καὶ αἰνέσατε εἴπατε ἔσωσεν κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ Ισραηλ

8 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἄγω αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ἐν ἑορτῇ φασεκ καὶ τεκνοποιήσῃ ὄχλον πολύν καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ὧδε

9 ἐν κλαυθμῷ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἐν παρακλήσει ἀνάξω αὐτοὺς αὐλίζων ἐπὶ διώρυγας ὑδάτων ἐν ὁδῷ ὀρθῇ καὶ οὐ μὴ πλανηθῶσιν ἐν αὐτῇ ὅτι ἐγενόμην τῷ Ισραηλ εἰς πατέρα καὶ Εφραιμ πρωτότοκός μού ἐστιν

10 ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου ἔθνη καὶ ἀναγγείλατε εἰς νήσους τὰς μακρότερον εἴπατε ὁ λικμήσας τὸν Ισραηλ συνάξει αὐτὸν καὶ φυλάξει αὐτὸν ὡς ὁ βόσκων τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ

11 ὅτι ἐλυτρώσατο κύριος τὸν Ιακωβ ἐξείλατο αὐτὸν ἐκ χειρὸς στερεωτέρων αὐτοῦ

12 καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιων καὶ ἥξουσιν ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθὰ κυρίου ἐπὶ γῆν σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ καρπῶν καὶ κτηνῶν καὶ προβάτων καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτῶν ὥσπερ ξύλον ἔγκαρπον καὶ οὐ πεινάσουσιν ἔτι

13 τότε χαρήσονται παρθένοι ἐν συναγωγῇ νεανίσκων καὶ πρεσβῦται χαρήσονται καὶ στρέψω τὸ πένθος αὐτῶν εἰς χαρμονὴν καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοὺς εὐφραινομένους

14 μεγαλυνῶ καὶ μεθύσω τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν ἱερέων υἱῶν Λευι καὶ ὁ λαός μου τῶν ἀγαθῶν μου ἐμπλησθήσεται

15 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος φωνὴ ἐν Ραμα ἠκούσθη θρήνου καὶ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ ὀδυρμοῦ Ραχηλ ἀποκλαιομένη οὐκ ἤθελεν παύσασθαι ἐπὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῆς ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν

16 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος διαλιπέτω ἡ φωνή σου ἀπὸ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἀπὸ δακρύων σου ὅτι ἔστιν μισθὸς τοῖς σοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ γῆς ἐχθρῶν

17 μόνιμον τοῖς σοῖς τέκνοις

18 ἀκοὴν ἤκουσα Εφραιμ ὀδυρομένου ἐπαίδευσάς με καὶ ἐπαιδεύθην ἐγώ ὥσπερ μόσχος οὐκ ἐδιδάχθην ἐπίστρεψόν με καὶ ἐπιστρέψω ὅτι σὺ κύριος ὁ θεός μου

19 ὅτι ὕστερον αἰχμαλωσίας μου μετενόησα καὶ ὕστερον τοῦ γνῶναί με ἐστέναξα ἐφ᾽ ἡμέρας αἰσχύνης καὶ ὑπέδειξά σοι ὅτι ἔλαβον ὀνειδισμὸν ἐκ νεότητός μου

20 υἱὸς ἀγαπητὸς Εφραιμ ἐμοί παιδίον ἐντρυφῶν ὅτι ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οἱ λόγοι μου ἐν αὐτῷ μνείᾳ μνησθήσομαι αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦτο ἔσπευσα ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἐλεῶν ἐλεήσω αὐτόν φησὶν κύριος

21 στῆσον σεαυτήν Σιων ποίησον τιμωρίαν δὸς καρδίαν σου εἰς τοὺς ὤμους ὁδὸν ἣν ἐπορεύθης ἀποστράφητι παρθένος Ισραηλ ἀποστράφητι εἰς τὰς πόλεις σου πενθοῦσα

22 ἕως πότε ἀποστρέψεις θυγάτηρ ἠτιμωμένη ὅτι ἔκτισεν κύριος σωτηρίαν εἰς καταφύτευσιν καινήν ἐν σωτηρίᾳ περιελεύσονται ἄνθρωποι

23 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἔτι ἐροῦσιν τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἐν γῇ Ιουδα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ ὅταν ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ εὐλογημένος κύριος ἐπὶ δίκαιον ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ

24 καὶ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ ἅμα γεωργῷ καὶ ἀρθήσεται ἐν ποιμνίῳ

25 ὅτι ἐμέθυσα πᾶσαν ψυχὴν διψῶσαν καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχὴν πεινῶσαν ἐνέπλησα

26 διὰ τοῦτο ἐξηγέρθην καὶ εἶδον καὶ ὁ ὕπνος μου ἡδύς μοι ἐγενήθη

27 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται φησὶν κύριος καὶ σπερῶ τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ τὸν Ιουδαν σπέρμα ἀνθρώπου καὶ σπέρμα κτήνους

28 καὶ ἔσται ὥσπερ ἐγρηγόρουν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καθαιρεῖν καὶ κακοῦν οὕτως γρηγορήσω ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν καὶ καταφυτεύειν φησὶν κύριος

29 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις οὐ μὴ εἴπωσιν οἱ πατέρες ἔφαγον ὄμφακα καὶ οἱ ὀδόντες τῶν τέκνων ᾑμωδίασαν

30 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ τοῦ φαγόντος τὸν ὄμφακα αἱμωδιάσουσιν οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ

31 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται φησὶν κύριος καὶ διαθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ Ιουδα διαθήκην καινήν

32 οὐ κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διεθέμην τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπιλαβομένου μου τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ὅτι αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἐνέμειναν ἐν τῇ διαθήκῃ μου καὶ ἐγὼ ἠμέλησα αὐτῶν φησὶν κύριος

33 ὅτι αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ισραηλ μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας φησὶν κύριος διδοὺς δώσω νόμους μου εἰς τὴν διάνοιαν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν γράψω αὐτούς καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς θεόν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν

34 καὶ οὐ μὴ διδάξωσιν ἕκαστος τὸν πολίτην αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ λέγων γνῶθι τὸν κύριον ὅτι πάντες εἰδήσουσίν με ἀπὸ μικροῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἕως μεγάλου αὐτῶν ὅτι ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι

35 ἐὰν ὑψωθῇ ὁ οὐρανὸς εἰς τὸ μετέωρον φησὶν κύριος καὶ ἐὰν ταπεινωθῇ τὸ ἔδαφος τῆς γῆς κάτω καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀποδοκιμῶ τὸ γένος Ισραηλ φησὶν κύριος περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησαν

36 οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ δοὺς τὸν ἥλιον εἰς φῶς τῆς ἡμέρας σελήνην καὶ ἀστέρας εἰς φῶς τῆς νυκτός καὶ κραυγὴν ἐν θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἐβόμβησεν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ

37 ἐὰν παύσωνται οἱ νόμοι οὗτοι ἀπὸ προσώπου μου φησὶν κύριος καὶ τὸ γένος Ισραηλ παύσεται γενέσθαι ἔθνος κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

38 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται φησὶν κύριος καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις τῷ κυρίῳ ἀπὸ πύργου Αναμεηλ ἕως πύλης τῆς γωνίας

39 καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἡ διαμέτρησις αὐτῆς ἀπέναντι αὐτῶν ἕως βουνῶν Γαρηβ καὶ περικυκλωθήσεται κύκλῳ ἐξ ἐκλεκτῶν λίθων

40 καὶ πάντες ασαρημωθ ἕως ναχαλ Κεδρων ἕως γωνίας πύλης ἵππων ἀνατολῆς ἁγίασμα τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ καθαιρεθῇ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος

1 Audivit autem Saphatias filius Mathan, et Gedelias filius Phassur, et Juchal filius Selemiæ, et Phassur filius Melchiæ, sermones quos Jeremias loquebatur ad omnem populum, dicens:

2 Hæc dicit Dominus: Quicumque manserit in civitate hac, morietur gladio, et fame, et peste: qui autem profugerit ad Chaldæos, vivet, et erit anima ejus sospes et vivens.

3 Hæc dicit Dominus: Tradendo tradetur civitas hæc in manu exercitus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam.

4 Et dixerunt principes regi: Rogamus ut occidatur homo iste: de industria enim dissolvit manus virorum bellantium qui remanserunt in civitate hac, et manus universi populi, loquens ad eos juxta verba hæc: siquidem homo iste non quærit pacem populo huic, sed malum.

5 Et dixit rex Sedecias: Ecce ipse in manibus vestris est: nec enim fas est regem vobis quidquam negare.

6 Tulerunt ergo Jeremiam, et projecerunt eum in lacum Melchiæ filii Amelech, qui erat in vestibulo carceris: et submiserunt Jeremiam funibus in lacum, in quo non erat aqua, sed lutum: descendit itaque Jeremias in cœnum.

7 Audivit autem Abdemelech Æthiops, vir eunuchus, qui erat in domo regis, quod misissent Jeremiam in lacum. Porro rex sedebat in porta Benjamin:

8 et egressus est Abdemelech de domo regis, et locutus est ad regem, dicens:

9 Domine mi rex, male fecerunt viri isti omnia quæcumque perpetrarunt contra Jeremiam prophetam, mittentes eum in lacum, ut moriatur ibi fame: non sunt enim panes ultra in civitate.

10 Præcepit itaque rex Abdemelech Æthiopi, dicens: Tolle tecum hinc triginta viros, et leva Jeremiam prophetam de lacu, antequam moriatur.

11 Assumptis ergo Abdemelech secum viris, ingressus est domum regis, quæ erat sub cellario, et tulit inde veteres pannos, et antiqua quæ computruerant, et submisit ea ad Jeremiam in lacum per funiculos.

12 Dixitque Abdemelech Æthiops ad Jeremiam: Pone veteres pannos, et hæc scissa et putrida, sub cubito manuum tuarum, et super funes. Fecit ergo Jeremias sic,

13 et extraxerunt Jeremiam funibus, et eduxerunt eum de lacu: mansit autem Jeremias in vestibulo carceris.

14 Et misit rex Sedecias, et tulit ad se Jeremiam prophetam ad ostium tertium quod erat in domo Domini: et dixit rex ad Jeremiam: Interrogo ego te sermonem, ne abscondas a me aliquid.

15 Dixit autem Jeremias ad Sedeciam: Si annuntiavero tibi, numquid non interficies me? et si consilium dedero tibi, non me audies.

16 Juravit ergo rex Sedecias Jeremiæ clam, dicens: Vivit Dominus, qui fecit nobis animam hanc, si occidero te, et si tradidero te in manus virorum istorum qui quærunt animam tuam.

17 Et dixit Jeremias ad Sedeciam: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Si profectus exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, vivet anima tua, et civitas hæc non succendetur igni: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.

18 Si autem non exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, tradetur civitas hæc in manus Chaldæorum, et succendent eam igni: et tu non effugies de manu eorum.

19 Et dixit rex Sedecias ad Jeremiam: Sollicitus sum propter Judæos qui transfugerunt ad Chaldæos, ne forte tradar in manus eorum, et illudant mihi.

20 Respondit autem Jeremias: Non te tradent. Audi, quæso, vocem Domini, quam ego loquor ad te, et bene tibi erit, et vivet anima tua.

21 Quod si nolueris egredi, iste est sermo quem ostendit mihi Dominus:

22 ecce omnes mulieres quæ remanserunt in domo regis Juda educentur ad principes regis Babylonis, et ipsæ dicent: Seduxerunt te, et prævaluerunt adversum te, viri pacifici tui: demerserunt in cœno et in lubrico pedes tuos, et recesserunt a te.

23 Et omnes uxores tuæ et filii tui educentur ad Chaldæos: et non effugies manus eorum, sed in manu regis Babylonis capieris, et civitatem hanc comburet igni.

24 Dixit ergo Sedecias ad Jeremiam: Nullus sciat verba hæc, et non morieris.

25 Si autem audierint principes quia locutus sum tecum, et venerint ad te, et dixerint tibi: Indica nobis quid locutus sis cum rege: ne celes nos, et non te interficiemus: et quid locutus est tecum rex:

26 dices ad eos: Prostravi ego preces meas coram rege, ne me reduci juberet in domum Jonathan, et ibi morerer.

27 Venerunt ergo omnes principes ad Jeremiam, et interrogaverunt eum, et locutus est eis juxta omnia verba quæ præceperat ei rex: et cessaverunt ab eo: nihil enim fuerat auditum.

28 Mansit vero Jeremias in vestibulo carceris usque ad diem quo capta est Jerusalem: et factum est ut caperetur Jerusalem.
