1The wordH1697 thatH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LordH3068 when 1KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 sentH7971 to him 2PashhurH6583 the sonH1121 of MalchijahH4441 and 3ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, sayingH559, 2“PleaseH4994 4inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 in our behalfH1157, becauseH3588 5NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of 6BabylonH894 is makingH3898 warH3898 againstH5921 us; perhapsH194 the LordH3068 will dealH6213 with us 7in accordance with allH3605 His 8wonderfulH6381 actsH6381, so that the enemy will withdrawH5927 from us.”

3But JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to them, “You shall sayH559 to ZedekiahH6667 as followsH3541: 4‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 9turnH5437 backH5437 the weaponsH3627 of warH4421 that are in your handsH3027, with whichH834 you are makingH3898 warH3898 againstH854 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and the ChaldeansH3778 who are besiegingH6696H5921 you outsideH4480H2351 the wallH2346; and I will 10gatherH622 them into the middleH8432 of thisH2088 cityH5892.
