Jeremiah 40:1-4

1The wordH1697 whichH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had letH7971 him goH7971 from RamahH7414, when he had takenH3947 him beingH1961 boundH631 in chainsH246 among allH3605 the captivesH1540 of JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, whichH834 were carriedH1540 awayH7971 captiveH1540 unto BabylonH894.

2And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 JeremiahH3414, and saidH559 unto him, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 pronouncedH1696 this evilH7451 uponH413 this placeH4725:

3and the LORDH3068 hath broughtH935 it, and doneH6213 according as he spake; becauseH3588 ye have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068, and have notH3808 obeyedH8085 his voiceH6963, therefore this thingH1697 is comeH935 uponH935 youH834.

4And nowH6258, beholdH2009, I looseH5921 thee this dayH3117 from the chainsH246 whichH834 are uponH5921 thine handH3027. IfH518 it seemH5869 goodH2896 unto thee to comeH935 with meH413 intoH413 BabylonH894, comeH935, and I will lookH2009 wellH2896 unto thee: but ifH518 it seemH5869 ill unto thee to comeH935 with meH413 intoH413 BabylonH894, forbear: beholdH2009, allH3605 the landH776 is beforeH6440 thee; whither it seemeth goodH2896 and convenient unto thee to goH935, thither goH935.
