Jeremiah 40:2-5

2And the captain of the guard tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and saidH559 unto him, Jehovah thy GodH430 pronounced this evilH7451 upon this placeH4725;

3and Jehovah hath broughtH935 it, and done according as he spake: because ye have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah, and have not obeyed his voiceH6963, therefore this thingH1697 is comeH935 upon you.

4And nowH6258, behold, I loose thee this dayH3117 from the chainsH246 which are upon thy handH3027. If it seem goodH2896 unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, comeH935, and I will look well unto thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, forbear: behold, all the landH776 is before thee; whither it seemeth goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to goH935, thither goH935.

5Now while he was not yetH5750 goneH7725 backH7725, GoH7971 backH7725 then, said he, to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath madeH5414 governor over the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and dwellH3427 with him among the peopleH5971; or goH7971 wheresoever it seemeth rightH3477 unto thee to goH7971. So the captain of the guard gaveH5414 him victuals and a present, and let him goH7971.
