1At the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH30791 sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, thisH2088 wordH1697 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414H854 from the LORDH3068H559.2 2This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saidH559 to meH413:

“MakeH6213 for yourself a yokeH4133 out of leather strapsH4147 and put itH5414 onH5921 your neckH6677. 3SendH7971 word toH413 the kingsH4428 of EdomH123, MoabH4124H413, AmmonH1121H5983H413, TyreH6865H413, andH4428 SidonH6721 throughH3027 the envoysH4397 who have comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 toH413 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 4Give them a messageH6680 from the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to relayH559 toH413 their mastersH113:

5By My greatH1419 powerH3581 and outstretchedH5186 armH2220, IH595 madeH6213 the earthH776 and the menH120 andH853 beastsH929 onH5921 the faceH6440 ofH776 it, and I give itH5414 to whomH834 I pleaseH3474H5869. 6So nowH6258 IH595 have placedH5414 allH3605 theseH428 landsH776 under the authorityH3027 of My servantH5650 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894. I have evenH1571 madeH5414 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 subjectH5647 to him. 7AllH3605 nationsH1471 will serve himH5647 andH853 his sonH1121 and grandsonH1121, untilH5704 the timeH6256 of his own landH776H1571H1931 comesH935; then manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 will enslaveH5647 him.
