lesserot - Jeremiah:28-30

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:1 @ And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of Azzur the prophet, who was from Gibon, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:3 @ Within yet two years time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:4 @ And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:5 @ Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:6 @ Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lords house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:7 @ Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:8 @ The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:9 @ The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, whom the Lord hath sent in truth.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:10 @ Then took Chananyah the prophet the yokebar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:11 @ And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:12 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yokebar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:13 @ Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yokebars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yokebars of iron.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:14 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:15 @ Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:28:17 @ So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:1 @ And these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders of the exiles, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon;

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:2 @ (After king Jechonyah and the queenmother, and the courtofficers, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the locksmiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:3 @ By the hand of Elassah the son of Shaphan, and Gemaryah the son of Chilkiyah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:4 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the exiles, whom I have caused to be carried into exile from Jerusalem unto Babylon,

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:5 @ Build ye houses, and dwell therein; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit;

lesserot@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 multiply there, and not be diminished.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:7 @ And seek the welfare of the city whither I have banished you, and pray in its behalf unto the Lord; for in its welfare shall ye fare well.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:8 @ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Let not your prophets, that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you, and do not hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamt;

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:9 @ For with falsehood do they prophesy unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:10 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Because only after the accomplishment of seventy years for Babylon, will I visit you, and fulfill respecting you my good word, in causing you to return to this place.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:11 @ For I alone know the thoughts that I entertain respecting you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and hope.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:12 @ And you will call upon me, and ye will go and will pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

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

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:14 @ And I will be found of you, saith the Lord; and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will cause you to return unto the place whence I have banished you.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:15 @ Because ye have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:16 @ But thus hath said the Lord concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into exile;

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:17 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will send out against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence; and I will render them like the detestable figs, that cannot be eaten, from being so bad.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:18 @ And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will make them a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse, and an astonishment, and a derision, and a disgrace, among all the nations whither I have driven them;

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:19 @ For the reason that they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, since I sent unto them my servants the prophets, causing them to rise up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:20 @ But yehear ye the word of the Lord, all ye exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:21 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Achab the son of Kolayah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maasseyah, who prophesy unto you in my name falsehood, Behold, I will give them up into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon: and he shall smite them before your eyes.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:22 @ And a curse shall be derived from them for all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, "May the Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;"

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:23 @ Because they have done scandalous deeds in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and have spoken in my name falsehood, which I had not commanded them; whereas I am the one that know, and am the witness, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:24 @ And to Shemayahu the Nechelamite shalt thou say, as followeth,

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:25 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent in thy name letters unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephanyah the son of Maasseyah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:26 @ The Lord hath appointed thee priest in the place of Jehoyada the priest, that ye should be superintendents in the house of the Lord, for every man that is mad, and that prophesieth, that thou shouldst put him in the stocks, and in prison:

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:27 @ And now, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesieth to you?

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:28 @ For the reason that he hath sent unto us to Babylon saying, It will last a long time: build ye houses, and dwell therein; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit thereof.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:29 @ And Zephanyah the priest read the letter before the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:30 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:31 @ Send to all the exiles, saying, Thus hath said the Lord concerning Shemayah the Nechlamite, Whereas Shemayah hath prophesied unto you, while I have not sent him, and he hath caused you to rely on a falsehood:

lesserot@Jeremiah:29:32 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will inflict punishment on Shemayah the Nechlamite, and on his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell in the midst of this people; and he shall not behold the good that I am doing for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath spoken revolt against the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:3 @ For, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will bring back again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord; and I will cause them to return to the land that I have given to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:4 @ And these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah;

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:5 @ For thus hath said the Lord, A voice of terror have we heard, dread, and no peace.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:6 @ Ask ye now, and see whether a male doth give birth to a child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in giving birth? and why are all faces turned pale?

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:7 @ Alas, for that day is great, there is none like it; and a time of distress it is unto Jacob; yet out of it shall he be saved.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:8 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and thy bands will I burst asunder; and strangers shall not make him serve any more;

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:9 @ But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:10 @ And thoudo not fear, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be secure, with none to terrify him.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:11 @ For with thee am I, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; but I will correct thee in moderation, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:12 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Incurable is thy bruise, and painful, thy wound.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:13 @ There is no one to plead thy cause, to bind up: useful remedies there are none for thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:14 @ All thy lovers have forgotten thee; thee they seek not; for with the blow of an enemy have I smitten thee, with cruel chastisement, for the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:15 @ Why wilt thou cry out because of thy breach? for thy pain which is incurable? because of the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous, have I done these things unto thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:16 @ Nevertheless all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, all of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be to plunder, and all that prey upon thee will I give up for a prey.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:17 @ For I will place a healing plaster on thy bruise, and of thy wounds will I cure thee, saith the Lord; because they called thee "an Outcast." "This is Zion, whom no one seeketh after."

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:18 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring back again the captivity of the tents of Jacob, and on his dwellingplaces will I have mercy; and the city shall be rebuilt upon her own heap of ruins, and the palace shall be inhabited after its manner.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:19 @ And there shall proceed out of them thanksgiving, and the voice of those that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also make them numerous, and they shall not be made few in number.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:20 @ And their children shall be as aforetimes, and their congregation shall be firmly established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:21 @ And their leader shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me; for who is this that will venture of his own heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:22 @ And ye shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto you for a God.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:23 @ Behold, the stormwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, an abiding stormwind: upon the head of the wicked shall it fall.

lesserot@Jeremiah:30:24 @ The fierceness of the anger of the Lord will not turn back, until he have done, and until he have fulfilled the purposes of his heart: in the latter days shall ye understand this.

lesserot@Jeremiah:31:1 @
