*
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah ,
that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ;
*
The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah ,
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
saying ,
*
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah ,
even unto this day ,
that is the three and twentieth year ,
the word of the LORD hath come unto me ,
and I have spoken unto you ,
rising early and speaking ;
but ye have not hearkened .
*
And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets ,
rising early and sending them ;
but ye have not hearkened ,
nor inclined your ear to hear .
*
They said ,
Turn ye again now every one from his evil way ,
and from the evil of your doings ,
and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever :
*
And go not after other gods to serve them ,
and to worship them ,
and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands ;
and I will do you no hurt .
*
Yet ye have not hearkened unto me ,
saith the LORD ;
that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt .
*
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts ;
Because ye have not heard my words ,
*
Behold ,
I will send and take all the families of the north ,
saith the LORD ,
and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon ,
my servant ,
and will bring them against this land ,
and against the inhabitants thereof ,
and against all these nations round about ,
and will utterly destroy them ,
and make them an astonishment ,
and an hissing ,
and perpetual desolations .
*
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth ,
and the voice of gladness ,
the voice of the bridegroom ,
and the voice of the bride ,
the sound of the millstones ,
and the light of the candle .
*
And this whole land shall be a desolation ,
and an astonishment ;
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when seventy years are accomplished ,
that I will punish the king of Babylon ,
and that nation ,
saith the LORD ,
for their iniquity ,
and the land of the Chaldeans ,
and will make it perpetual desolations .
*
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it ,
even all that is written in this book ,
which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations .
*
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also :
and I will recompense them according to their deeds ,
and according to the works of their own hands .
