Jeremiah 44:24-30

24Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, including allH3605 the womenH802, “1HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, allH3605 JudahH3063 whoH834 are 2in the landH776 of EgyptH4714,

25thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, as followsH559: ‘As for you and your wivesH802, you have spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310 and fulfilledH4390 it with your handsH3027, sayingH559, “We will 3certainlyH6213 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burnH6999 4sacrificesH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064 and pourH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to her.” 56GoH6965 aheadH6965 and confirmH6965 your vowsH5088, and certainlyH6213 performH6213 your vowsH5088!’

267NeverthelessH3651 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, allH3605 JudahH3063 who are livingH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, ‘BeholdH2009, I have 8swornH7650 by My greatH1419 nameH8034,’ saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘9neverH518 shall My nameH8034 be invokedH2142 againH5750 by the mouthH6310 of anyH3605 manH376 of JudahH3063 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, “10As the LordH136 11GodH3068 livesH2416.”

27BeholdH2009, I am watchingH8245 overH5921 them 12for harmH7463 and not for goodH2899, and 13allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063 whoH834 are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 will 14meetH8552 their endH8552 by the swordH2719 and by famineH7458 untilH5704 they 15are completelyH3615 goneH3615.

2816Those whoH6412 escapeH6412 the swordH2719 will returnH7725 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of JudahH3063 1718fewH4962 in numberH4557. Then allH3605 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063 who have goneH935 to the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to resideH1481 thereH8033 will knowH3045 19whoseH4310 wordH1697 will standH6965, MineH4480 or theirsH4480H1992.

29ThisH2088 will be the 20signH226 to you,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘that I am going to punishH6485 you in thisH2088 placeH4725, soH4616 that you may knowH3045 that 21My wordsH1697 will surelyH6965 standH6965 againstH5921 you for harmH7463.’

30ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to giveH5414 over 22PharaohH6548 HophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to the handH3027 of his enemiesH340, to the handH3027 of those who seekH1245 his lifeH5315, justH3512 as I gaveH5414 over 23ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, who was his enemyH340 and was seekingH1245 his lifeH5315.’”
