Jeremiah 40:2-5

2And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and saidH559 unto him, YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath pronouncedH1696 this evilH7451 upon this placeH4725.

3Now YhwhH3068 hath broughtH935 it, and doneH6213 according as he hath saidH1696: because ye have sinnedH2398 against YhwhH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 his voiceH6963, therefore this thingH1697 is come upon you.

4And now, behold, I looseH6605 thee this dayH3117 from the chainsH246 which were upon thine handH3027. If it seem goodH5869H2896 unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, comeH935; and I will look wellH5869H7760 unto thee: but if it seem illH5869H7489 unto thee to comeH935 with me into BabylonH894, forbearH2308: beholdH7200, all the landH776 is beforeH6440 thee: whither it seemethH413 goodH2896 and convenientH5869H3477 for thee to goH3212, thither goH3212.12

5Now while he was not yet gone backH7725, he said, Go backH7725 also to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath made governorH6485 over the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and dwellH3427 with him amongH8432 the peopleH5971: or goH3212 wheresoever it seemeth convenientH5869H3477 unto thee to goH3212. So the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 gaveH5414 him victualsH737 and a rewardH4864, and let him goH7971.
