1Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
1Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
2to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before your face, and pray you to the Lord your Godfor this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as your eyes see.
2And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
3And let the Lord your God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
3That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
4And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatever word the Lord God shall answer , I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
4Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness , if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
5Then they said to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.
6And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, because we shall listen to the voice of the Lord our God.
6Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.
7And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
7And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.
8And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
8Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9and he said to them, Thus says the Lord;
9And said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
10If you⌃ will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
10If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you⌃ are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
11Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
12And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13But if you⌃ say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not listen to the voice of the Lord;
13But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,
14for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
14Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
15then hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord ;
15And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16If you⌃ set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the swordwhich you⌃ fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which you⌃ have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there you⌃ shall die.
16Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
17So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18For thus says the Lord ; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when you⌃ have entered into Egypt: and you⌃ shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curseand a reproach: and you⌃ shall no more see this place .
18For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
19[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter you⌃ not into Egypt: and now know you⌃ for a certainty,
19The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
20that you⌃ have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when you⌃ sent me , saying, Pray you for us to the Lord ; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to you we will do .
20For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and according unto all that the Lord our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
21And you⌃ have not listened to the voice of the Lord , with which he sent me to you.
21And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
22Now therefore you⌃ shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which you⌃ desire to go into to dwell there.
22Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
