*
For then the king of Babylons army besieged Jerusalem :
and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison ,
which was in the king of Judahs house .
*
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up ,
saying ,
Wherefore dost thou prophesy ,
and say ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
Behold ,
I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon ,
and he shall take it ;
*
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans ,
but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon ,
and shall speak with him mouth to mouth ,
and his eyes shall behold his eyes ;
*
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon ,
and there shall he be until I visit him ,
saith the LORD :
though ye fight with the Chaldeans ,
ye shall not prosper .
*
And Jeremiah said ,
The word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Behold ,
Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee ,
saying ,
Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth :
for the right of redemption is thine to buy it .
*
So Hanameel mine uncles son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD ,
and said unto me ,
Buy my field ,
I pray thee ,
that is in Anathoth ,
which is in the country of Benjamin :
for the right of inheritance is thine ,
and the redemption is thine ;
buy it for thyself .
Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD .
*
And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncles son ,
that was in Anathoth ,
and weighed him the money ,
even seventeen sheba #
shekels of silver .
*
And I subscribed the evidence ,
and sealed it ,
and took witnesses ,
and weighed him the money in the balances mo #
zen #.
*
So I took the evidence of the purchase ,
both that which was sealed according to the law and custom ,
and that which was open :
*
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah ,
the son of Maaseiah ,
in the sight of Hanameel mine uncles son ,
and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase ,
before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison .
*
And I charged Baruch before them ,
saying ,
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Take these evidences ,
this evidence of the purchase ,
both which is sealed ,
and this evidence which is open ;
and put them in an earthen vessel ,
that they may continue many days .
*
For thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land .
