Jeremiah 40:2

Jeremiah Decides To Remain In The Land

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh after Nebuzaradan, [the] captain of [the] guard, had let him go from Ramah, {where he had been taken} bound in chains in the midst of all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah who were being deported [to] Babylon. ² And [the] captain of [the] guard took Jeremiah and said to him, "Yahweh your God threatened this disaster to this place, ³ and [now] he has brought [it about], and Yahweh has done {just as} he threatened. Because you sinned against Yahweh and did not listen to his voice, so this thing [has] happened to you.
