1And kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 reignedH4427 instead of ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made kingH4427 in the landH776 of JudahH3063. 2But neither he, nor his servantsH5650, nor the peopleH5971 of the landH776, hearkenedH8085 to the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spokeH1696 byH3027 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414.1 3And ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehucalH3081 the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018 and ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, PrayH6419 now to the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for us. 4Now JeremiahH3414 came inH935 and went outH3318 amongH8432 the peopleH5971: for they had not putH5414 him into prisonH1004H3628. 5Then Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428 had comeH3318 from EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389. 6Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 7Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you to me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh’sH6547 armyH2428, which hath come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776. 8And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come againH7725, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784. 9Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DeceiveH5377 not yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 shall surelyH1980 departH3212 from us: for they shall not departH3212.2 10For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784.3
