Now these [are] the words [1697] of the letter [5612] that Jeremiah [3414] the prophet [5030] sent [7971] from Jerusalem [3389] unto the residue [3499] of the elders [2205] which were carried away captives, [1473] and to the priests, [3548] and to the prophets, [5030] and to all the people [5971] whom Nebuchadnezzar [5019] had carried away [1540] captive from Jerusalem [3389] to Babylon; [0894]

2

(After [0310] that Jeconiah [3204] the king, [4428] and the queen, [1377] and the eunuchs, [5631] the princes [8269] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem, [3389] and the carpenters, [2796] and the smiths, [4525] were departed [3318] from Jerusalem;) [3389]

3

By the hand [3027] of Elasah [0501] the son [1121] of Shaphan, [8227] and Gemariah [1587] the son [1121] of Hilkiah, [2518] (whom Zedekiah [6667] king [4428] of Judah [3063] sent [7971] unto Babylon [0894] to Nebuchadnezzar [5019] king [4428] of Babylon) [0894] saying, [0559]

4

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel, [3478] unto all that are carried away captives, [1473] whom I have caused to be carried away [1540] from Jerusalem [3389] unto Babylon; [0894]

5

Build [1129] ye houses, [1004] and dwell [3427] [in them]; and plant [5193] gardens, [1593] and eat [0398] the fruit [6529] of them;

6

Take [3947] ye wives, [0802] and beget [3205] sons [1121] and daughters; [1323] and take [3947] wives [0802] for your sons, [1121] and give [5414] your daughters [1323] to husbands, [0582] that they may bear [3205] sons [1121] and daughters; [1323] that ye may be increased [7235] there, and not diminished. [4591]

7

And seek [1875] the peace [7965] of the city [5892] whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, [1540] and pray [6419] unto the LORD [3068] for it: for in the peace [7965] thereof shall ye have peace. [7965]

8

For thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel; [3478] Let not your prophets [5030] and your diviners, [7080] that [be] in the midst [7130] of you, deceive [5377] you, neither hearken [8085] to your dreams [2472] which ye cause to be dreamed. [2492]

9

For they prophesy [5012] falsely [8267] unto you in my name: [8034] I have not sent [7971] them, saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

10

For thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] That after [6310] seventy [7657] years [8141] be accomplished [4390] at Babylon [0894] I will visit [6485] you, and perform [6965] my good [2896] word [1697] toward you, in causing you to return [7725] to this place. [4725]

11

For I know [3045] the thoughts [4284] that I think [2803] toward you, saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] thoughts [4284] of peace, [7965] and not of evil, [7451] to give [5414] you an expected [8615] end. [0319]

12

Then shall ye call [7121] upon me, and ye shall go [1980] and pray [6419] unto me, and I will hearken [8085] unto you.

13

And ye shall seek [1245] me, and find [4672] [me], when ye shall search [1875] for me with all your heart. [3824]

14

And I will be found [4672] of you, saith [5002] the LORD: [3068] and I will turn away [7725] your captivity, [7622] [7622] and I will gather [6908] you from all the nations, [1471] and from all the places [4725] whither I have driven [5080] you, saith [5002] the LORD; [3068] and I will bring you again [7725] into the place [4725] whence I caused you to be carried away captive. [1540]

15

Because ye have said, [0559] The LORD [3068] hath raised us up [6965] prophets [5030] in Babylon; [0894]

16

[Know] that thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of the king [4428] that sitteth [3427] upon the throne [3678] of David, [1732] and of all the people [5971] that dwelleth [3427] in this city, [5892] [and] of your brethren [0251] that are not gone forth [3318] with you into captivity; [1473]

17

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts; [6635] Behold, I will send [7971] upon them the sword, [2719] the famine, [7458] and the pestilence, [1698] and will make [5414] them like vile [8182] figs, [8384] that cannot be eaten, [0398] they are so evil. [7455]

18

And I will persecute [7291] [0310] them with the sword, [2719] with the famine, [7458] and with the pestilence, [1698] and will deliver [5414] them to be removed [2189] [2113] to all the kingdoms [4467] of the earth, [0776] to be a curse, [0423] and an astonishment, [8047] and an hissing, [8322] and a reproach, [2781] among all the nations [1471] whither I have driven [5080] them:

19

Because they have not hearkened [8085] to my words, [1697] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] which I sent [7971] unto them by my servants [5650] the prophets, [5030] rising up early [7925] and sending [7971] [them]; but ye would not hear, [8085] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

20

Hear [8085] ye therefore the word [1697] of the LORD, [3068] all ye of the captivity, [1473] whom I have sent [7971] from Jerusalem [3389] to Babylon: [0894]

21

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel, [3478] of Ahab [0256] the son [1121] of Kolaiah, [6964] and of Zedekiah [6667] the son [1121] of Maaseiah, [4641] which prophesy [5012] a lie [8267] unto you in my name; [8034] Behold, I will deliver [5414] them into the hand [3027] of Nebuchadrezzar [5019] king [4428] of Babylon; [0894] and he shall slay [5221] them before your eyes; [5869]

22

And of them shall be taken up [3947] a curse [7045] by all the captivity [1546] of Judah [3063] which [are] in Babylon, [0894] saying, [0559] The LORD [3068] make [7760] thee like Zedekiah [6667] and like Ahab, [0256] whom the king [4428] of Babylon [0894] roasted [7033] in the fire; [0784]

23

Because they have committed [6213] villany [5039] in Israel, [3478] and have committed adultery [5003] with their neighbours' [7453] wives, [0802] and have spoken [1696] lying [8267] words [1697] in my name, [8034] which I have not commanded [6680] them; even I know, [3045] and [am] a witness, [5707] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

24

[Thus] shalt thou also speak [0559] to Shemaiah [8098] the Nehelamite, [5161] saying, [0559]

25

Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel, [3478] saying, [0559] Because thou hast sent [7971] letters [5612] in thy name [8034] unto all the people [5971] that [are] at Jerusalem, [3389] and to Zephaniah [6846] the son [1121] of Maaseiah [4641] the priest, [3548] and to all the priests, [3548] saying, [0559]

26

The LORD [3068] hath made [5414] thee priest [3548] in the stead of Jehoiada [3077] the priest, [3548] that ye should be officers [6496] in the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] for every man [0376] [that is] mad, [7696] and maketh himself a prophet, [5012] that thou shouldest put [5414] him in prison, [4115] and in the stocks. [6729]

27

Now therefore why hast thou not reproved [1605] Jeremiah [3414] of Anathoth, [6069] which maketh himself a prophet [5012] to you?

28

For therefore he sent [7971] unto us [in] Babylon, [0894] saying, [0559] This [1931] [captivity is] long: [0752] build [1129] ye houses, [1004] and dwell [3427] [in them]; and plant [5193] gardens, [1593] and eat [0398] the fruit [6529] of them.

29

And Zephaniah [6846] the priest [3548] read [7121] this letter [5612] in the ears [0241] of Jeremiah [3414] the prophet. [5030]

30

Then came the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] unto Jeremiah, [3414] saying, [0559]

31

Send [7971] to all them of the captivity, [1473] saying, [0559] Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] concerning Shemaiah [8098] the Nehelamite; [5161] Because that Shemaiah [8098] hath prophesied [5012] unto you, and I sent [7971] him not, and he caused you to trust [0982] in a lie: [8267]

32

Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD; [3068] Behold, I will punish [6485] Shemaiah [8098] the Nehelamite, [5161] and his seed: [2233] he shall not have a man [0376] to dwell [3427] among [8432] this people; [5971] neither shall he behold [7200] the good [2896] that I will do [6213] for my people, [5971] saith [5002] the LORD; [3068] because he hath taught [1696] rebellion [5627] against the LORD. [3068]
