1
Then Shephatiah [8203] the son [1121] of Mattan, [4977] and Gedaliah [1436] the son [1121] of Pashur, [6583] and Jucal [3116] the son [1121] of Shelemiah, [8018] and Pashur [6583] the son [1121] of Malchiah, [4441] heard [8085] the words [1697] that Jeremiah [3414] had spoken [1696] unto all the people, [5971] saying, [0559]
2
Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] He that remaineth [3427] in this city [5892] shall die [4191] by the sword, [2719] by the famine, [7458] and by the pestilence: [1698] but he that goeth forth [3318] to the Chaldeans [3778] shall live; [2421] for he shall have his life [5315] for a prey, [7998] and shall live. [2425]
3
Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] This city [5892] shall surely [5414] be given [5414] into the hand [3027] of the king [4428] of Babylon's [0894] army, [2428] which shall take [3920] it.
4
Therefore the princes [8269] said [0559] unto the king, [4428] We beseech thee, let this man [0376] be put to death: [4191] for thus [3651] he weakeneth [7503] the hands [3027] of the men [0582] of war [4421] that remain [7604] in this city, [5892] and the hands [3027] of all the people, [5971] in speaking [1696] such words [1697] unto them: for this man [0376] seeketh [1875] not the welfare [7965] of this people, [5971] but the hurt. [7451]
5
Then Zedekiah [6667] the king [4428] said, [0559] Behold, he [is] in your hand: [3027] for the king [4428] [is] not [he that] can [3201] do [any] thing [1697] against you.
6
Then took [3947] they Jeremiah, [3414] and cast [7993] him into the dungeon [0953] of Malchiah [4441] the son [1121] of Hammelech, [4428] [4429] that [was] in the court [2691] of the prison: [4307] and they let down [7971] Jeremiah [3414] with cords. [2256] And in the dungeon [0953] [there was] no water, [4325] but mire: [2916] so Jeremiah [3414] sunk [2883] in the mire. [2916]
7
Now when Ebedmelech [5663] the Ethiopian, [3569] one [0376] of the eunuchs [5631] which was in the king's [4428] house, [1004] heard [8085] that they had put [5414] Jeremiah [3414] in the dungeon; [0953] the king [4428] then sitting [3427] in the gate [8179] of Benjamin; [1144]
8
Ebedmelech [5663] went forth [3318] out of the king's [4428] house, [1004] and spake [1696] to the king, [4428] saying, [0559]
9
My lord [0113] the king, [4428] these men [0582] have done evil [7489] in all that they have done [6213] to Jeremiah [3414] the prophet, [5030] whom they have cast [7993] into the dungeon; [0953] and he is like to die [4191] for [6440] hunger [7458] in the place where he is: [8478] for [there is] no more bread [3899] in the city. [5892]
10
Then the king [4428] commanded [6680] Ebedmelech [5663] the Ethiopian, [3569] saying, [0559] Take [3947] from hence thirty [7970] men [0582] with thee, [3027] and take up [5927] Jeremiah [3414] the prophet [5030] out of the dungeon, [0953] before he die. [4191]
11
So Ebedmelech [5663] took [3947] the men [0582] with him, [3027] and went [0935] into the house [1004] of the king [4428] under the treasury, [0214] and took [3947] thence old [1094] cast clouts [5499] and old [1094] rotten rags, [4418] and let them down [7971] by cords [2256] into the dungeon [0953] to Jeremiah. [3414]
12
And Ebedmelech [5663] the Ethiopian [3569] said [0559] unto Jeremiah, [3414] Put [7760] now [these] old [1094] cast clouts [5499] and rotten rags [4418] under thine armholes [0679] [3027] under the cords. [2256] And Jeremiah [3414] did [6213] so.
13
So they drew [4900] up Jeremiah [3414] with cords, [2256] and took him up [5927] out of the dungeon: [0953] and Jeremiah [3414] remained [3427] in the court [2691] of the prison. [4307]
14
Then Zedekiah [6667] the king [4428] sent, [7971] and took [3947] Jeremiah [3414] the prophet [5030] unto him into the third [7992] entry [3996] that [is] in the house [1004] of the LORD: [3068] and the king [4428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah, [3414] I will ask [7592] thee a thing; [1697] hide [3582] nothing [1697] from me.
15
Then Jeremiah [3414] said [0559] unto Zedekiah, [6667] If I declare [5046] [it] unto thee, wilt thou not surely [4191] put me to death? [4191] and if I give thee counsel, [3289] wilt thou not hearken [8085] unto me?
16
So Zedekiah [6667] the king [4428] sware [7650] secretly [5643] unto Jeremiah, [3414] saying, [0559] [As] the LORD [3068] liveth, [2416] that made [6213] us this soul, [5315] I will not put thee to death, [4191] neither will I give [5414] thee into the hand [3027] of these men [0582] that seek [1245] thy life. [5315]
17
Then said [0559] Jeremiah [3414] unto Zedekiah, [6667] Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] the God [0430] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel; [3478] If thou wilt assuredly [3318] go forth [3318] unto the king [4428] of Babylon's [0894] princes, [8269] then thy soul [5315] shall live, [2421] and this city [5892] shall not be burned [8313] with fire; [0784] and thou shalt live, [2421] and thine house: [1004]
18
But if thou wilt not go forth [3318] to the king [4428] of Babylon's [0894] princes, [8269] then shall this city [5892] be given [5414] into the hand [3027] of the Chaldeans, [3778] and they shall burn [8313] it with fire, [0784] and thou shalt not escape [4422] out of their hand. [3027]
19
And Zedekiah [6667] the king [4428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah, [3414] I am afraid [1672] of the Jews [3064] that are fallen [5307] to the Chaldeans, [3778] lest they deliver [5414] me into their hand, [3027] and they mock [5953] me.
20
But Jeremiah [3414] said, [0559] They shall not deliver [5414] [thee]. Obey, [8085] I beseech thee, the voice [6963] of the LORD, [3068] which I speak [1696] unto thee: so it shall be well [3190] unto thee, and thy soul [5315] shall live. [2421]
21
But if thou refuse [3986] to go forth, [3318] this [is] the word [1697] that the LORD [3068] hath shewed [7200] me:
22
And, behold, all the women [0802] that are left [7604] in the king [4428] of Judah's [3063] house [1004] [shall be] brought forth [3318] to the king [4428] of Babylon's [0894] princes, [8269] and those [women] shall say, [0559] Thy friends [0582] [7965] have set thee on, [5496] and have prevailed [3201] against thee: thy feet [7272] are sunk [2883] in the mire, [1206] [and] they are turned away [5472] back. [0268]
23
So they shall bring out [3318] all thy wives [0802] and thy children [1121] to the Chaldeans: [3778] and thou shalt not escape [4422] out of their hand, [3027] but shalt be taken [8610] by the hand [3027] of the king [4428] of Babylon: [0894] and thou shalt cause this city [5892] to be burned [8313] with fire. [0784]
24
Then said [0559] Zedekiah [6667] unto Jeremiah, [3414] Let no man [0376] know [3045] of these words, [1697] and thou shalt not die. [4191]
25
But if the princes [8269] hear [8085] that I have talked [1696] with thee, and they come [0935] unto thee, and say [0559] unto thee, Declare [5046] unto us now what thou hast said [1696] unto the king, [4428] hide [3582] it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; [4191] also what the king [4428] said [1696] unto thee:
26
Then thou shalt say [0559] unto them, I presented [5307] my supplication [8467] before [6440] the king, [4428] that he would not cause me to return [7725] to Jonathan's [3083] house, [1004] to die [4191] there.
27
Then came [0935] all the princes [8269] unto Jeremiah, [3414] and asked [7592] him: and he told [5046] them according to all these words [1697] that the king [4428] had commanded. [6680] So they left off speaking [2790] with him; for the matter [1697] was not perceived. [8085]
28
So Jeremiah [3414] abode [3427] in the court [2691] of the prison [4307] until the day [3117] that Jerusalem [3389] was taken: [3920] and he was [there] when Jerusalem [3389] was taken. [3920]
