Jeremiah 40:4-6

4But nowH6258, beholdH2009, I am freeingH6605 you todayH3117 fromH4480 the chainsH246 thatH834 were onH5921 your wristsH3027. IfH518 it pleasesH2896H5869 you to comeH935 with meH854 to BabylonH894, then comeH935, and I will take care ofH7760 youH5921. But ifH518 it seems wrongH7489H5869 to you to comeH935 with meH854 to BabylonH894, go no fartherH2308. LookH7200, the wholeH3605 landH776 is before youH6440H413. Wherever it seemsH5869 goodH2896H413 and right to youH3477, goH1980 thereH8033.”

5But before JeremiahH3808H5750 turned to goH7725, NebuzaradanH7725 addedH413, “Return to GedaliahH1436 sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, whomH834 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 has appointedH6485 over the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and stayH3427 with himH854 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, orH176 goH1980 anywhere elseH413H3605 that seems rightH3477H5869H1980.” Then the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 gaveH5414 him a rationH737 and a giftH4864 and released himH7971.

6So JeremiahH3414 wentH935 toH413 GedaliahH1436 sonH1121 of AhikamH296 at MizpahH4709 and stayedH3427 with himH854 amongH8432 the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the landH776.
