| 1 | The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of it, saying: | Jer 34:7 Jer 32:2 Jer 39:1-3 Jer 52:4-11 2Ki 25:1-9 2Ch 36:12-17 |
| 2 | Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire: | Jer 22:1 Jer 22:2 Jer 37:1-4 2Ch 36:11 2Ch 36:12 |
| 3 | and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon. | Jer 34:21 Jer 21:7 Jer 32:4 Jer 37:17 Jer 38:18 Jer 39:4 Jer 39:5 Jer 52:7-9 2Ki 25:4 2Ki 25:5 |
| 4 | Yet hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says Yahweh concerning you, You shall not die by the sword; |
| 5 | you shall die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, [saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says Yahweh. | 2Ki 22:20 2Ch 34:28 Ezk 17:16 |
| 6 | Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, | 1Sa 3:18 1Sa 15:16-24 2Sa 12:7-12 1Ki 21:19 1Ki 22:14 Ezk 2:7 Mt 14:4 Ac 20:27 |
| 7 | when the king of Babylon`s army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fortified cities. | Jer 34:1 Jer 4:5 Jer 8:14 Jer 11:12 Dt 28:52 |
| 8 | The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them; | 2Ki 11:17 2Ki 23:2 2Ki 23:3 2Ch 15:12-15 2Ch 23:16 2Ch 29:10 2Ch 34:30-33 Ne 9:38 Ne 10:1-27 |
| 9 | that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother. | Gn 14:13 Gn 40:15 Ex 2:6 Ex 3:18 Dt 15:12 1Sa 4:6 1Sa 4:9 1Sa 14:11 2Co 11:22 Php 3:5 |
| 10 | All the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his man-servant, and everyone his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go: | Jer 26:10 Jer 26:16 Jer 36:12 Jer 36:24 Jer 36:25 Jer 38:4 |
| 11 | but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. | Jer 34:21 Jer 37:5 Ex 8:8 Ex 8:15 Ex 9:28 Ex 9:34 Ex 9:35 Ex 10:17-20 Ex 14:3-9 1Sa 19:6-11 1Sa 24:19 1Sa 26:21 Ps 36:3 Ps 78:34-36 Ps 125:5 Pr 26:11 Ec 8:11 Hos 6:4 Hos 7:16 Zep 1:6 Mt 12:43-45 Ro 2:4 Ro 2:5 2Pe 2:20-22 |
| 12 | Therefore the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, |
| 13 | Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, | Jer 31:32 Ex 24:3 Ex 24:7 Ex 24:8 Dt 5:2 Dt 5:3 Dt 5:27 Dt 29:1 Heb 8:10 Heb 8:11 |
| 14 | At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers didn`t listen to me, neither inclined their ear. | Jer 34:8 Jer 34:9 Ex 21:1-4 Ex 23:10 Ex 23:11 Dt 15:12 1Ki 9:22 2Ch 28:10 Isa 58:6 Am 2:6 Am 8:6 |
| 15 | You were now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: | 1Ki 21:27-29 2Ki 10:30 2Ki 10:31 2Ki 12:2 2Ki 14:3 Isa 58:2 Mt 15:8 |
| 16 | but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids. | Jer 34:11 1Sa 15:11 Ezk 3:20 Ezk 18:24 Ezk 33:12 Ezk 33:13 Lk 8:13-15 |
| 17 | Therefore thus says Yahweh: you have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says Yahweh, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth. | Lv 26:34 Lv 26:35 Dt 19:19 Jg 1:6 Jg 1:7 Es 7:10 Dn 6:24 Mt 7:2 Lk 6:37 Lk 6:38 Ga 6:7 Jm 2:13 Rev 16:6 |
| 18 | I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it; | Dt 17:2 Jsh 7:11 Jsh 23:16 Hos 6:7 Hos 8:1 |
| 19 | the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf; | Jer 34:10 Ezk 22:27-31 Dn 9:6 Dn 9:8 Dn 9:12 Mic 7:1-5 Zep 3:3 Zep 3:4 |
| 20 | I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth. | Jer 4:30 Jer 11:21 Jer 21:7 Jer 22:25 Jer 38:16 Jer 44:30 Jer 49:37 |
| 21 | Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon`s army, who have gone away from you. | Jer 34:3-5 Jer 39:6 Jer 52:10 Jer 52:24-27 2Ki 25:18-21 Lam 4:20 Ezk 17:16 |
| 22 | Behold, I will command, says Yahweh, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant. | 2Sa 16:11 2Ki 24:2 2Ki 24:3 2Ch 36:17 Isa 10:5-7 Isa 13:3 Isa 37:26 Isa 45:1-3 Am 3:6 Mt 22:7 |
