Jeremiah 32

1The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from Jehovah in the tenthH6224 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which wasH1961 the eighteenth yearH8141 of Nebuchadrezzar. 2Now at that time the kingH4428 of Babylon’s armyH2428 wasH1961 besieging JerusalemH3389; and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 wasH1961 shutH3607 up in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, which wasH1961 in the kingH4428 of Judah’s houseH1004. 3For ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 had shutH3607 him up, sayingH559, Wherefore dost thou prophesyH5012, and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it; 4and ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 shall not escapeH4422 out of the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, but shall surely be delivered into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and shall speakH1696 with him mouthH6310 to mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 shall behold his eyesH5869; 5and he shall bring ZedekiahH6667 to BabylonH894, and there shall he beH1961 until I visitH6485 him, saith Jehovah: though ye fightH3898 with the ChaldeansH3778, ye shall not prosperH6743?

6And JeremiahH3414 saidH559, The wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 7Behold, HanamelH2601 the sonH1121 of ShallumH7967 thine uncleH1730 shall comeH935 unto thee, sayingH559, BuyH7069 thee my fieldH7704 that is in AnathothH6068; for the rightH4941 of redemptionH1353 is thine to buyH7069 it. 8So HanamelH2601 mine uncle’sH1730 sonH1121 cameH935 to me in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307 according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah, and saidH559 unto me, BuyH7069 my fieldH7704, I pray thee, that is in AnathothH6068, which is in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144; for the rightH4941 of inheritance is thine, and the redemptionH1353 is thine; buyH7069 it for thyself. Then I knewH3045 that this was the wordH1697 of Jehovah. 9And I boughtH7069 the fieldH7704 that was in AnathothH6068 of HanamelH2601 mine uncle’sH1730 sonH1121, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701, even seventeen shekelsH8255 of silverH3701. 10And I subscribed the deed, and sealedH2856 it, and called witnessesH5707, and weighedH8254 him the moneyH3701 in the balances. 11So I tookH3947 the deed of the purchaseH4736, both that which was sealedH2856, according to the law and custom, and that which was open: 12and I delivered the deed of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MahseiahH4271, in the presence of HanamelH2601 mine uncle’sH1730 sonH1121, and in the presence of the witnessesH5707 that subscribed the deed of the purchaseH4736, before all the JewsH3064 that satH3427 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307. 13And I charged BaruchH1263 before them, sayingH559, 14ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: TakeH3947 these deeds, this deed of the purchaseH4736 which is sealedH2856, and this deed which is open, and putH5414 them in an earthen vesselH3627; that they may continue manyH7227 daysH3117. 15For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: HousesH1004 and fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 shall yetH5750 againH5750 be boughtH7069 in this landH776.

16Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchaseH4736 unto BaruchH1263 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, I prayedH6419 unto Jehovah, sayingH559, 17Ah LordH136 Jehovah! behold, thou hast madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 by thy greatH1419 power and by thine outstretchedH5186 armH2220; there is nothing too hard for thee, 18who showest lovingkindness unto thousandsH505, and recompensest the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 into the bosomH2436 of their children after them; the greatH1419, the mightyH1368 GodH410, Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034; 19greatH1419 in counselH6098, and mighty in work; whose eyesH5869 are openH6491 upon all the waysH1870 of the sonsH1121 of menH376, to giveH5414 every oneH376 according to his waysH1870, and according to the fruitH6529 of his doings; 20who didst setH7760 signsH226 and wondersH4159 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, even unto this dayH3117, both in IsraelH3478 and among other menH120; and madest thee a nameH8034, as at this dayH3117; 21and didst bringH3318 forthH3318 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with signsH226, and with wondersH4159, and with a strongH2389 handH3027, and with an outstretchedH5186 armH248, and with greatH1419 terrorH4172; 22and gavest them this landH776, which thou didst swearH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; 23and they cameH935 in, and possessedH3423 it; but they obeyed not thy voiceH6963, neither walkedH1980 in thy lawH8451; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evilH7451 to comeH935 upon them. 24Behold, the mounds, they are comeH935 unto the cityH5892 to takeH3920 it; and the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against it, because of the swordH2719, and of the famineH7458, and of the pestilenceH1698; and what thou hast spokenH1696 is comeH935 to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. 25And thou hast saidH559 unto me, O LordH136 Jehovah, BuyH7069 thee the fieldH7704 for moneyH3701, and call witnessesH5707; whereas the cityH5892 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.

26Then came the wordH1697 of Jehovah unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 27Behold, I am Jehovah, the GodH430 of all fleshH1320: is there anything too hardH6381 for me? 28ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will giveH5414 this cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and into the handH3027 of Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall takeH3920 it: 29and the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against this cityH5892, shall comeH935 and setH3341 this cityH5892 on fireH784, and burnH8313 it, with the housesH1004, upon whose roofsH1406 they have offered incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and poured out drink-offerings unto otherH312 godsH430, to provokeH3707 me to angerH3707. 30For the children of IsraelH3478 and the children of JudahH3063 have done onlyH389 that which wasH1961 evilH7451 in my sight from their youthH5271; for the children of IsraelH3478 have onlyH389 provokedH3707 me to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of their handsH3027, saith Jehovah. 31For this cityH5892 hath beenH1961 to me a provocation of mine angerH639 and of my wrathH2534 from the dayH3117 that they builtH1129 it even unto this dayH3117; that I should removeH5493 it from before my faceH6440, 32because of all the evilH7451 of the children of IsraelH3478 and of the children of JudahH3063, which they have done to provokeH3707 me to angerH3707, they, their kingsH4428, their princesH8269, their priestsH3548, and their prophetsH5030, and the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. 33And they have turnedH6437 unto me the backH6437, and not the faceH6440: and though I taughtH3925 them, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and teachingH3925 them, yet they have not hearkened to receiveH3947 instruction. 34But they setH7760 their abominationsH8251 in the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, to defileH2930 it. 35And they builtH1129 the highH1116 placesH1116 of BaalH1168, which are in the valleyH1516 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011, to cause their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to passH5674 through the fire unto MolechH4432; which I commandedH6680 them not, neither cameH5927 it into my mind, that they should do this abominationH8441, to cause JudahH3063 to sinH2398.

36And nowH6258 thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerningH413 this cityH5892, whereof ye sayH559, It is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698: 37Behold, I will gatherH6908 them out of all the countries, whither I have drivenH5080 them in mine angerH639, and in my wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignation; and I will bringH7725 them again unto this placeH4725, and I will cause them to dwellH3427 safely. 38And they shall beH1961 my peopleH5971, and I will beH1961 their GodH430: 39and I will giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 and oneH259 wayH1870, that they may fearH3372 me for ever, for the goodH2896 of them, and of their children after them: 40and I will makeH5414 an everlasting covenantH1285 with them, that I will not turnH7725 awayH5493 from following them, to do them goodH3190; and I will putH5414 my fearH3374 in their heartsH3824, that they may not departH5493 from me. 41Yea, I will rejoiceH7797 over them to do them goodH2895, and I will plantH5193 them in this landH776 assuredly with my whole heartH3820 and with my whole soulH5315. 42For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Like as I have broughtH935 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, soH3651 will I bringH935 upon them all the goodH2896 that I have promised them. 43And fieldsH7704 shall be boughtH7069 in this landH776, whereof ye sayH559, It is desolate, without manH120 or beast; it is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. 44Men shall buyH7069 fieldsH7704 for moneyH3701, and subscribe the deeds, and sealH2856 them, and call witnessesH5707, in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144, and in the places about JerusalemH3389, and in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of the hill-country, and in the citiesH5892 of the lowland, and in the citiesH5892 of the SouthH5045: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725, saith Jehovah.
