Jeremiah 44:20-30

20Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, to the menH5971, and to the womenH802, evenH853 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 whichH802 had given him that answerH6030, sayingH559, 21The incenseH6999 that ye burnedH6999 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389, ye and your fathersH1, your kingsH4428 and your princesH8269, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, didH834 notH3808 the LORDH3068 rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it notH3808 intoH5921 his mindH3820? 22soH6213 the LORDH3068 couldH3201 noH3808 longerH5750 bearH5375, becauseH834 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and becauseH834 of the abominationsH8441 whichH834 ye have committedH6213; therefore is your landH776 becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, and an astonishment, and a curseH7045, withoutH3808 inhabitantH3427, as it is this dayH3117. 23BecauseH5921 ye have burnedH6999 incenseH6999, and becauseH5921 ye have sinnedH2398 againstH5921 the LORDH3068, and have notH3808 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, norH3808 walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, norH3808 in his statutesH2708, norH3808 in his testimoniesH5715; therefore this evilH7451 is happenedH7122 unto youH834, as it is this dayH3117. 24Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, and to allH3605 the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, allH3605 JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 25ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559: Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and with your handsH3027 have fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559, WeH834 will surelyH834 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that weH834 have vowedH5087, to burnH6999 incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pourH5258 outH6965 drink offeringsH5088 unto herH802: establishH6965 then your vowsH5088, and performH6213 your vowsH5088. 26Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, allH3605 JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: BeholdH2005, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saith the LORDH3068, that my nameH8034 shall noH518 moreH5750 be namedH8034 in the mouthH6310 of anyH3605 manH376 of JudahH3063 in allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, As the LordH3068 GODH3068 liveth. 27BeholdH2005, I watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and notH3808 for goodH2896: and allH3605 the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumedH3615 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, untilH5704 there be an endH3615 of them. 28And they that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall returnH7725 outH4480 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 intoH935 the landH776 of JudahH3063, fewH4557 in numberH4557; and allH3605 the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that are goneH935 intoH935 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojourn there, shall knowH3045 whoseH4310 wordH1697 shall standH6965, mineH4480, or theirsH1992. 29And this shall be the signH226 unto youH3588, saith the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 youH3588 in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surelyH3588 standH6965 againstH5921 youH3588 for evilH7451: 30ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2005, I will giveH5414 PharaohH6548 HophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 intoH4714 the handH3027 of his enemiesH341, and intoH4714 the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 his lifeH5315; as I gaveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 intoH4714 the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, his enemyH341, and that soughtH1245 his lifeH5315.
