rwbs@Jeremiah:26:2 @ Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them; diminish not a word:

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:3 @ It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:4 @ And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:5 @ To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending, but ye have not hearkened;

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:6 @ Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:7 @ So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:8 @ Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:9 @ Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:10 @ When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entrance of the new gate of the LORD’S. (note:)in the…: or, at the door(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:12 @ Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:14 @ As for me, behold, I in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and right to you. (note:)as…: Hebrews. as it is good and right in your eyes(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:15 @ But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:16 @ Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:17 @ Then arose certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:18 @ Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:19 @ Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. (note:)the LORD, and the: Hebrews. the face of the LORD, etc(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:20 @ And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:21 @ And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:22 @ And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt,, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and men with him into Egypt.

rwbs@Jeremiah:26:23 @ And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the burial place of the common people. (note:)common…: Hebrews. sons of the people(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:3 @ And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:5 @ I have made the earth, the man and the beast that upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to me.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:6 @ And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:7 @ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:8 @ And it shall come to pass, the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:9 @ Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: (note:)dreamers: Hebrews. dreams(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:10 @ For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:11 @ But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:12 @ I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:13 @ Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:14 @ Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:15 @ For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you. (note:)a lie: Hebrews. in a lie, or, lyingly(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:16 @ Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:17 @ Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:18 @ But if they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:19 @ For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that remain in this city,

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:20 @ Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:21 @ Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain the house of the LORD, and the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

rwbs@Jeremiah:27:22 @ They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:1 @ And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:2 @ Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:3 @ Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: (note:)two…: Hebrews. two years of days(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:5 @ Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:6 @ Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:7 @ Nevertheless now hear thou this word that I speak in thy ears, and in the ears of all the people;

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:8 @ The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:9 @ The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:10 @ Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:11 @ And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:12 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:13 @ Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:14 @ For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:15 @ Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. (note:)rebellion: Hebrews. revolt(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:28:17 @ So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:1 @ Now these the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders who were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:2 @ (After Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem;) (note:)eunuchs: or, chamberlains(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:3 @ By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:4 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:5 @ Build ye houses, and dwell; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:6 @ Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:7 @ And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the LORD for it: for in the peace of it ye shall have peace.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:8 @ For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that are in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:9 @ For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. (note:)falsely: Hebrews. in a lie(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:10 @ For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years shall be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:11 @ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (note:)expected…: Hebrews. end and expectation(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:12 @ Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken to you.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:13 @ And ye shall seek me, and find, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:14 @ And I will be found by you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:15 @ Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised up for us prophets in Babylon;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:16 @ that thus saith the LORD concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwelleth in this city, concerning your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:17 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:18 @ And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an horror, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them: (note:)to be a curse: Hebrews. for a curse(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:19 @ Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:20 @ Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:21 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:22 @ And concerning them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah who in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:23 @ Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbour’s wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and a witness, saith the LORD.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:24 @ shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, (note:)Nehelamite: or, dreamer(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:25 @ Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:26 @ The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:27 @ Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you?

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:28 @ For therefore he sent to us Babylon, saying, This long: build ye houses, and dwell; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:29 @ And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:30 @ Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:31 @ Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because Shemaiah hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

rwbs@Jeremiah:29:32 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD. (note:)rebellion: Hebrews. revolt(:note)

rwbs@Jeremiah:30:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
