Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, - and, his mother's name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.

Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, - and, his mother's name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

And, these, were the heads of their ancestral house, - Epher and Ishi and Eliel and Azriel and Jeremiah and Hodaviah and Jahdiel, men who were heroes of valour, men of renown, chiefs to their ancestral house.

and Ishmaiah, the Gibeonite, a hero among the thirty, and over the thirty, - and Jeremiah and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, the Gederathite;

Mashmannah, the fourth, Jeremiah, the fifth;

Jeremiah, the tenth, Machbannai, the eleventh.

And Jeremiah chanted a dirge over Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women in their dirges have spoken concerning Josiah, until this day, and they appointed them by statute for Israel, - and, there they are, written among the dirges.

And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh his God,-he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet, from the mouth of Yahweh.

to fulfil the word of God, by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had paid off her sabbaths, - all the days of her lying desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.

But, in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to accomplish the word of God by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:

In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfil the word of Yahweh from the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:

Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah;

Now, these, are the priests and the Levites, who came up with Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, - Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra;

And, in the days of Joiakim, were priests, ancestral chiefs, - of Seraiah, Meraiah, of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;

The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, - of the priests who were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin:

Moreover the Word of Yahweh came unto me saying, What canst thou see Jeremiah? And I said, A twig of an almond-tree, can I see.

The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: -

The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh saying:

So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah, concerning the matter of the drought: -

The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:

Then said they, - Come ye and let us devise against Jeremiah devices, For the law shall not perish from the priest, Nor, counsel, from the wise, Nor, the word from the prophet: Come and let as smite him with the tongue, And let us not give ear to any of his words!

Then entered Jeremiah out of Topheth, whither Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, - and stood in the court of the house of Yahweh, and said unto all the people:

And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied these things,

then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, - and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.

And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, - that Jeremiah said unto him - Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv.

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, - when King Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur, son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying:

Then said Jeremiah unto them, - Thus, shall ye say unto Zedekiah:

Then said Yahweh unto me, - What canst thou see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for badness.

The word which came upon Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, - the same, was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

which word Jeremiah the prophet spake concerning all the people of Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying: -

So will I bring upon that land, All my words which I have spoken against it, - Even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

So the priests and the prophets, and all the people, heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.

And it came to pass when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets, and all the people laid hold of him, saying - Thou shalt, surely die!

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, Like Shiloh, shall this house become, And this city, shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people, were gathered together unto Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh,

Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes, and unto all the people, saying, - Worthy of death, is this man, because he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your own ears, Then spake Jeremiah, unto all the princes and unto all the people, saying, -

There was however, a man, prophesying in the name of Yahweh, Urijah, son of Shemaiah, of Keriath-jearim, - who prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah.

Howbeit the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan, turned out to be with Jeremiah, - so as not to give him up into the hand of the people, to put him to death.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying:

Then said Jeremiah the prophet, unto Hananiah the prophet, in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people, who were standing in the house of Yahweh,

then said Jeremiah the prophet, - Amen! So, may Yahweh do! Yahweh establish thy words which thou hast prophesied by bringing back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place.

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, - and brake it.

And Hananiah spake before the eyes of all the people saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, - In like manner, will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within the space of two years, from off the neck of all the nations, And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Hananiah the prophet, - Hear I pray thee, Hananiah: Yahweh hath not sent thee, Thou, therefore hast caused this people to trust in falsehood!

Now these, are the, words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem, - unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and unto the priests and unto the prophets and unto all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

Now, therefore, why, hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is prophesying unto you?

And Zephaniah the priest hath read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet,

Therefore hath the word of Yahweh come unto Jeremiah, saying:

The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: -

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, - the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;

and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, - and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;

And Jeremiah said, - The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:

Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: -

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, saying:

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:

And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, - when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force and all the kingdoms of the earth the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and against all her cities, saying:

Then spake Jeremiah the prophet, unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem;

The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, - after that King Zedekiah had solemnised a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem, proclaiming unto them liberty:

So then the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, - in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying:

So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, - and all the house of the Rechabites;

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, saying:

But to the house of the Rechabites, said Jeremiah: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Because ye have hearkened unto the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and dune according to all that he commanded you

And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:

So Jeremiah called Baruch, son of Neriah, - and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him upon a scroll.

Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying, - I, am hindered, I cannot enter the house of Yahweh;

So then Baruch son of Neriah did according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.

Baruch, therefore, read in the book the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh, - in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan - the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, in the ears of all the people.

Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, know where ye, are!

Then did the king command Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to fetch Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, - but Yahweh had hid them.

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah saying:

So, Jeremiah, took another roll and gave it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who wrote thereon, from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book, which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned, in the fire, - and further were added thereunto many words like unto them

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land had hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, which he had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.

And King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet saying, - Pray thou I beseech thee in our behalf, unto Yahweh, our God.

Now, Jeremiah, was coming in and going out in the midst of the people, for they had not put him into prison.

Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying:

then went forth Jeremiah out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, - to receive a portion from thence in the midst of the people.

And so it came to pass he being in the gate of Benjamin and there being there a ward-master whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah, that he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Unto the Chaldeans, art thou falling away!

Then said Jeremiah, False! I am not falling away unto the Chaldeans! Howbeit he hearkened not unto him, - so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him in unto the princes.

Then were the princes wroth against Jeremiah, and smote him, - and put him in prison, in the house of Jonathan the scribe, for that, had they made the prison.

When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon-house and into the cells, and Jeremiah, had remained there many days,

then sent King Zedekiah - and fetched him, and the king asked him, in his own house secretly, and said, - Is there a word from Yahweh? And Jeremiah said, - There is, for (said he), Into the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be delivered!

And Jeremiah said unto King Zedekiah, - What sin have I committed against thee, or against thy servants or against this people, that ye have delivered me up into prison?

Then King Zedekiah gave command and they committed Jeremiah into the guard-court, and said that there should be given him a cake of bread daily, out of the bakers street, until all the bread out of the city should be spent, So Jeremiah remained in the guard-court.

And, when Shephatiah son of Mattan and Gedaliah son of Pashhur and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, heard the words which Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people saying:

Then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah son of the king, which was in the guard-court, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes, - now, in the dungeon, was no water only mire, so Jeremiah sank in the mire.

When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian one of the eunuchs, he being in the house of the king, heard that they had delivered Jeremiah into the dungeon, - the king being seated in the gate of Benjamin,

My lord, O King! wickedly, have these men done all that they haw done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom indeed they have cast into the dungeon, - since he would have died where he was because of the famine, for there is no bread any longer, in the city.

Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian saying, - Take with thee from hence thirty men, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he die.

So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence pieces of cast-off clothes, and old rags, - and let them down unto Jeremiah in the dungeon with the ropes.

Then said Ebed-melech the Ethiopian unto Jeremiah, - Put, I pray thee the pieces of cast-off clothes and the old rags under thine arm-joints, under the ropes, And Jeremiah did so,

Then drew they Jeremiah with the ropes, and lifted him up out of the dungeon, - and Jeremiah remained in the guard-court.

Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched Jeremiah the prophet unto him, in the third entrance, which is in the house of Yahweh, - and the king said unto Jeremiah - I am going to ask thee a thing, do not hide anything from me.

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, When I tell thee, wilt thou not, surely put me to death? And when I counsel thee, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

So King Zedekiah aware unto Jeremiah secretly saying, - By the life of Yahweh who made for us, this soul, I will in no wise put thee to death, Neither will I deliver thee into the hand of these men who are seeking thy life.

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah - Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts, God of Israel - If thou wilt, indeed go forth, unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thine own soul live, and, this city, shall not be burned with fire, - but thou shalt live, thou and thy house.

Then said King Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away unto the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me, into their hand, and they maltreat me.

But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver! - Hearken I pray thee unto the voice of Yahweh in what I am speaking unto thee, that it may be well with thee and thy soul live.
