Jeremiah 44:2-14

2ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Ye have seenH7200 allH3605 the evilH7451 that I have broughtH935 uponH5921 JerusalemH3389, and uponH5921 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; and, beholdH2005, this dayH3117 they are a desolationH2723, and noH369 manH3605 dwelleth therein;

3becauseH834 of their wickednessH7451 whichH834 they have committedH6213 to provokeH3707 meH6440 to angerH3707, in that they wentH6440 to burnH6999 incenseH6999, and to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, whomH834 they knewH3045 notH3808, neitherH3808 they, norH3808 ye, norH3808 your fathersH1.

4Howbeit I sentH7971 unto youH834 allH3605 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, risingH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, sayingH559, OhH4994, doH6213 notH408 this abominableH8441 thingH1697 that I hateH8130.

5But they hearkened notH3808, norH3808 inclinedH5186 their earH241 to turnH7725 from their wickednessH7451, to burnH6999 noH3808 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430.

6Wherefore my furyH2534 and mine angerH639 was pouredH5413 forth, and was kindled in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389; and they are wasted and desolateH8077, as it is this dayH3117.

7Therefore nowH6258 thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Wherefore commit ye this greatH1419 evilH7451 againstH413 your ownH376 soulsH5315, to cutH3772 offH3772 from youH859 manH376 and womanH802, infantH3243 and suckling, outH4100 of the midstH8432 of JudahH3063, to leaveH3498 youH859 noneH6635 remainingH3498;

8in that ye provokeH3707 meH935 unto angerH3707 with the worksH4639 of your handsH3027, burningH6999 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whither ye be goneH935 to sojourn; that ye may be cutH3772 offH3772, and that ye may be a curseH7045 and a reproachH2781 among allH3605 the nationsH1471 of the earthH776?

9Have ye forgottenH7911 the wickednessH7451 of your fathersH1, and the wickednessH7451 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, and the wickednessH7451 of their wivesH802, and your own wickednessH7451, and the wickednessH7451 of your wivesH802, whichH834 they committedH6213 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389?

10They are notH3808 humbled evenH5704 unto this dayH3117, neitherH3808 have they fearedH3372, norH3808 walkedH1980 in my lawH8451, norH3808 in my statutesH2708, that I setH5414 beforeH6440 youH834 and beforeH6440 your fathersH1.

11Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: BeholdH2005, I will setH7760 my faceH6440 againstH6440 youH3605 for evilH7451, evenH3651 to cutH3772 offH3772 allH3605 JudahH3063.

12And I will takeH3947 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that have setH7760 their facesH6440 to goH935 intoH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, and they shall allH3605 be consumedH8552; in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall they fallH5307; they shall be consumedH8552, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458; they shall dieH4191, from the least evenH5704 unto the greatestH1419, by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curseH7045, and a reproachH2781.

13For I will punishH6485 them that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, as I have punishedH6485 JerusalemH3389, by the swordH2719, by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698:

14soH1961 that noneH3808 of the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, whichH834 are goneH935 intoH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, shall escapeH6412 or remainH3427, that they should returnH7725 intoH935 the landH776 of JudahH3063, to the whichH834 they have a desireH5315 to returnH7725 to dwellH3427 there: for noneH3808 shall returnH7725 saveH5315 suchH834 as shall escapeH6412.
