* And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah , and said unto him , The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place . * Now the LORD hath brought it , and done according as he hath said : because ye have sinned against the LORD , and have not obeyed his voice , therefore this thing is come upon you . * And now , behold , I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand . If it seem good towb # unto thee to come with me into Babylon , come ; and I will look well unto thee : but if it seem ill ra # unto thee to come with me into Babylon , forbear : behold , all the land is before thee : whither it seemeth good and convenient yashar # for thee to go , thither go . * Now while he was not yet gone back , he said , Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan , whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah , and dwell with him among the people : or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient yashar # unto thee to go . So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward mas #eth #, and let him go . * Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah ; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land .
