Jeremiah 42

1And all the captains of the forces, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and Jezaniah the sonH1121 of HoshaiahH1955, and all the peopleH5971 from the least even to the greatestH1419, 2came near and saidH559 unto JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplicationH8467 come before thee, and prayH6419 for us unto Jehovah thy 1GodH430, for all this remnantH7611 (for we are leftH7604 a fewH4592 of manyH7235, as thine eyesH5869 do behold us); 3that Jehovah thy 2GodH430 may shew us the wayH1870 wherein we should walk, and the thingH1697 that we should do. 4And JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 unto them, I have heardH8085; behold, I will prayH6419 unto Jehovah your 3GodH430 according to your wordsH1697; and it shall come to pass [that] whatsoever thingH1697 Jehovah shall answerH6030 you, I will declareH5046 it unto you: I will keep nothing back from you. 5And they saidH559 to JeremiahH3414, Jehovah beH1961 a true and faithfulH539 witnessH5707 amongst us, if we do not even according to all the wordH1697 for which Jehovah thy 4GodH430 shall sendH7971 thee to us. 6Whether it be goodH2896 or whether it be evilH7451, we will hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah our 5GodH430, to whom we sendH7971 thee; that it may be wellH3190 with us when we hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah our 6GodH430. 7And it came to pass at the endH7093 of tenH6235 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JeremiahH3414. 8And he calledH7121 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the peopleH5971 from the least even unto the greatestH1419, 9and saidH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah the 7GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to whom ye sentH7971 me to present your supplicationH8467 before him: 10If ye will still abide in this landH776, then will I buildH1129 you, and not overthrow [you], and I will plantH5193 you, and not pluckH5428 [you] up; for I repent me of the evilH7451 that I have done unto you. 11Be not afraidH3372 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, of whom ye are afraidH3372: be not afraidH3372 of him, saith Jehovah; for I will be with you to saveH3467 you, and to deliverH5337 you from his handH3027. 12And I will grant mercies to you, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you, and cause you to returnH7725 to your own landH127. 13But if ye sayH559, We will not dwellH3427 in this landH776; so as not to hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah your 8GodH430, 14sayingH559, No; but we will goH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whereH834 we shall seeH7200 no warH4421, nor hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, nor have hungerH7456 for breadH3899; and there will we dwellH3427; 15— and nowH6258, thereforeH3651, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye remnantH7611 of JudahH3063: thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 9GodH430 of IsraelH3478: If ye really setH7760 your facesH6440 to enter into EgyptH4714, and goH935 to sojourn there, 16then it shall come to pass, that the swordH2719 which ye fearH3372 shall overtakeH5381 you there in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the famineH7458, whereof ye are afraidH3372, shall follow hard after you there in EgyptH4714; and there ye shall dieH4191. 17And it shall beH1961 that all the menH376 that have setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 into EgyptH4714 to sojourn there shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698; and none of them shall remain or escapeH6412 from the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon them. 18For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 10GodH430 of IsraelH3478: As mine angerH639 and my fury have beenH1961 pouredH5413 forth upon the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, soH3651 shall my fury beH1961 pouredH5413 forth upon you, when ye shall enter into EgyptH4714; and ye shall beH1961 an execration, and an astonishment, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781, and ye shall seeH7200 this placeH4725 no more. 19Jehovah hath saidH1696 concerning you, the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, GoH935 ye not into EgyptH4714. KnowH3045 certainly that I have admonished you this dayH3117. 20For ye deceived yourselves in your ownH5315 soulsH5315, when ye sentH7971 me unto Jehovah your 11GodH430, sayingH559, PrayH6419 for us unto Jehovah our 12GodH430; and according to all that Jehovah our 13GodH430 shall sayH559, soH3651 declareH5046 unto us, and we will do it. 21And I have this dayH3117 declaredH5046 [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah your 14GodH430, nor anything for which he hath sentH7971 me unto you. 22And nowH6258 knowH3045 certainly that ye shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698, in the placeH4725 whither ye desireH2654 to goH935 to sojourn.
