Jeremiah 44:20-30
20Then JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to all the peopleH5971, to the menH1397, and to the womenH802, and to all the peopleH5971 who had given him that answerH1697H6030, sayingH559, 21The incenseH7002 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, did not the LORDH3068 rememberH2142 them, and cameH5927 it not into his mindH3820? 22So that the LORDH3068 couldH3201 no longer bearH5375, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611, and becauseH6440 of the abominationsH8441 which ye have committedH6213; therefore is your landH776 a desolationH2723, and an horrorH8047, and a curseH7045, without an inhabitantH3427, as at this dayH3117. 23BecauseH6440H834 ye have burned incenseH6999, and because ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068, and have not obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor walkedH1980 in his lawH8451, nor in his statutesH2708, nor in his testimoniesH5715; therefore this evilH7451 hath happenedH7122 to you, as at this dayH3117. 24Moreover JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to all the peopleH5971, and to all the womenH802, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: 25Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559; Ye and your wivesH802 have both spokenH1696 with your mouthsH6310, and fulfilledH4390 with your handH3027, sayingH559, We will surelyH6213 performH6213 our vowsH5088 that we have vowedH5087, to burn incenseH6999 to the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 to her: ye will surelyH6965 accomplishH6965 your vowsH5088, and surelyH6213 performH6213 your vowsH5088. 26Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, all JudahH3063 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; Behold, I have swornH7650 by my greatH1419 nameH8034, saithH559 the LORDH3068, that my nameH8034 shall no more be namedH7121 in the mouthH6310 of any manH376 of JudahH3063 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559, The LordH136 GODH3069 livethH2416. 27Behold, I will watchH8245 over them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896: and all the menH376 of JudahH3063 that are in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall be consumedH8552 by the swordH2719 and by the famineH7458, until there shall be an endH3615 of them. 28Yet a smallH4962 numberH4557 that escapeH6412 the swordH2719 shall return fromH7725 the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and all the remnantH7611 of JudahH3063, that have goneH935 into the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there, shall knowH3045 whose wordsH1697 shall standH6965, mine, or theirs.1 29And this shall be a signH226 to you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 you in this placeH4725, that ye may knowH3045 that my wordsH1697 shall surelyH6965 standH6965 against you for evilH7451: 30Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I will giveH5414 PharaohhophraH6548 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 into the handH3027 of his enemiesH341, and into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 his lifeH5315; as I gaveH5414 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, his enemyH341, and that soughtH1245 his lifeH5315.
