sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:2 @ Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and offer them wine to drink.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:3 @ Then I took Yaazanyah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Chabazzinyah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:4 @ And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu, the man of God, which was alongside of the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Ma’aseyahu the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:5 @ And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink wine.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:6 @ But they said, We will not drink wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father hath laid a charge on us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever;

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:7 @ Nor shall ye build any house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have; but in tents shall ye dwell all your days, in order that ye may live many days on the face of the land where ye may sojourn.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:8 @ And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jehonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, not to drink any wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:9 @ And not to build houses for our dwelling: and we never had any vineyard, or field, or seed;

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:10 @ But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done in accordance with all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:11 @ But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:12 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:13 @ Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:14 @ Fulfilled are the words of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, that he hath commanded his sons not to drink wine: and they have not drunk any even unto this day; because they have obeyed the commandment of their father; but I, I have spoken unto you, early in the day and speaking; but ye have not hearkened unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:15 @ And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise up early and sending them, saying, Do but return every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and go not after other gods to serve them: and so shall ye remain in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, and have not hearkened unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:16 @ Because the sons of Jehonadab the son of Rechab have fulfilled the commandment of their father, which he hath commanded them; but as this people have not hearkened unto me:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:17 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken concerning them; because I spoke unto them, but they would not hear; and I called unto them, but they would not answer.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:18 @ And unto the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Whereas ye have hearkened to the charge of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and have done in accordance with all that he hath commanded you:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:35:19 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not be wanting unto Jehonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me at all times.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:1 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:2 @ Take thee a roll–book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day that I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even until this day.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:3 @ Peradventure it be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them: in order that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:4 @ Then did Jeremiah call Baruch the son of Neriyah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll–book.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:5 @ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I am not able to enter into the house of the Lord:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:6 @ Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord before the ears of the people in the house of the Lord on the fast–day; and also before the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities shalt thou read them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:7 @ Perhaps it may be that they will humbly present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way; for great are the anger and the fury that the Lord hath decreed against this people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:8 @ And Baruch the son of Neriyah did in accordance with all that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him, to read in the book the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:9 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord for all the people in Jerusalem, and for all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:10 @ And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord’s house, before the ears of all the people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:11 @ And when Michayhu the son of Gemaryahu, the son of Shaphan, had heard all the words of the Lord out of the book:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:12 @ He went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, even Elishama’ the scribe, and Delayahu the son of Shema’yahu, and Elnathan the son of ‘Achbor, and Gemaryahu the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Chananyahu, and all the princes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:13 @ And Michayhu told unto them all the words which he had heard, when Baruch read in the book before the ears of the people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:14 @ Thereupon sent all the princes Jehudi the son of Nethanyahu, the son of Shelemyahu, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, The roll wherein thou hast read before the ears of the people,––this take in thy hand, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriyahu took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:15 @ And they said unto him, Sit down, we pray thee, and read it before our ears. So Baruch read it before their ears.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:16 @ Now it came to pass, when they heard all the words, they looked terrified at each other, and they said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:17 @ And they asked Baruch, saying, Do tell us, How didst thou write down all these words from his mouth?

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:18 @ Then said Baruch unto them, With his mouth did he utter clearly all these words unto me, and I wrote them in the book with ink.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:19 @ Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou with Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:20 @ And they went in to the king into the court, but the roll they had put in safe keeping in the chamber of Elishama’ the scribe; and they told before the ears of the king all the words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:21 @ But the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama’ the scribe. And Jehudi read it before the ears of the king, and before the ears of all the princes who stood around the king.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:22 @ Now the king was sitting in the winter–house in the ninth month: and a pan of coals was burning before him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:23 @ And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four pages, that he cut it with the writer’s knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the coal–pan, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the coal–pan.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:24 @ Yet they were not terrified, nor did they rend their garments, either the king, or any of his servants that had heard all these words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:25 @ And although Elnathan and Delayahu and Gemaryahu had also made intercession with the king that he might not burn the roll, he would not listen to them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:26 @ And the king commanded Yerachmeel the son of the king, and Serayahu the son of ‘Azriel, and Shelemyahu the son of ‘Abdeel, to seize on Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the Lord hid them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:27 @ Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, after the king had burnt the roll, and the words which Baruch had written down from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:28 @ Take thee again another roll, and write on it all the former words that have been on the first roll, which Jehoyakim the king of Judah hath burnt.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:29 @ And concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah shalt thou say, Thus hath said the Lord, Thou hast indeed burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease therefrom man and beast!

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:30 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the king of Judah, He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat in the day, and to the cold in the night.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:31 @ And I will visit on him and on his seed and on his servants their iniquity; and I will bring over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and against the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken against them, while they did not hearken.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:36:32 @ And Jeremiah took another roll, and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriyahu the scribe; who wrote thereon from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoyakim the king of Judah had burnt in the fire: and there were yet added unto them many words like them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:1 @ And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king in the place of Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:2 @ But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of Jeremiah the prophet.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:3 @ And king Zedekiah sent Jehuchal the son of Shelemyah and Zephanyahu the son of Ma’asseyah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Pray now in our behalf unto the Lord our God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:4 @ Now Jeremiah came and went out among the people; and they put him not into the prison–house.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:5 @ But the army of Pharaoh was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard the report of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:6 @ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:7 @ Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that hath sent you unto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, returneth into its own land to Egypt.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:8 @ But the Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:9 @ Thus hath said the Lord, Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly go away from us; for they will not go away.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:10 @ For if even ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained among them men as are pierced through: yet should they rise up, every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:11 @ And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:12 @ That Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to make his escape thence in the midst of the people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:13 @ But as he was in the gate of Benjamin, there was there a captain of the guardsmen, whose name was Yiriyah, the son of Shelemyah, the son of Chananyah; and he seized hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou runnest away to the Chaldeans.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:14 @ But Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not running away to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Yiriyah seized hold of Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:15 @ Thereupon were the princes wroth with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for that had they made into a prison–house.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:16 @ When Jeremiah had been placed in the dungeon, within the traders’ shops, where Jeremiah remained many days:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:17 @ King Zedekiah sent, and had him taken out, and the king asked him in his house in secret, and said, "Is there any word from the Lord?" And Jeremiah said, "There is:" and he said, Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be given up.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:18 @ And Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people, that ye have put me into the prison–house?

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:19 @ And where are now your prophets who have prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon will not come against you, and against this land?

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:20 @ Yet now, do but hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let me offer my humble supplication, I pray thee, before thee, that thou wilt not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:37:21 @ Then commanded king Zedekiah that they should put Jeremiah in ward in the court of the prison, and that they should give him a loaf of bread for every day out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread was spent out of the city. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:1 @ And Shephatyah the son of Matthan, and Gedalyahu the son of Pashchur, and Juchal the son of Shelemyahu, and Pashchur the son of Malkiyah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:2 @ Thus hath said the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life as a booty, and shall live.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:3 @ Thus hath said the Lord, This city shall surely be given up into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:4 @ Thereupon said the princes unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death; for the cause that he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that are yet left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but their hurt.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:5 @ Then said king Zedekiah, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not able to do any thing against you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:6 @ Then did they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malkiyahu the son of the king, that was in the court of the prison: and they let Jeremiah down with cords; but in the pit there was no water, but mire; so that Jeremiah sunk into the mire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:7 @ Now when ‘Ebed–melech the Cushi, a eunuch who was in the king’s house, heard that they had placed Jeremiah into the pit; while the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:8 @ ‘Ebed–melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:9 @ My lord, O king, these men have done wrong in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he would have had to die in the place where he was for hunger; for there is no more bread in the city.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:10 @ The king then commanded ‘Ebed–melech the Cushi, saying, Take with thee from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:11 @ So ‘Ebed–melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence cast–off clothes and old rags, and let them down into the pit to Jeremiah by cords.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:12 @ And Ebed–melech the Cushi said unto Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these cast–off clothes and old rags under thy arm–pits beneath the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:13 @ So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:14 @ Then sent king Zedekiah, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the Lord; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee something: conceal nothing from me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:15 @ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, If I should tell it unto thee, behold, thou wilt surely put me to death; and if I should give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:16 @ So king Zedekiah swore unto Jeremiah secretly, saying, As the Lord liveth, who hath made for us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee up into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:17 @ Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou wilt indeed go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thy soul live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, thou with thy household;

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:18 @ But if thou wilt not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:19 @ Then said king Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, I am in dread of the Jews that have run away to the Chaldeans, lest these deliver me into their hand, and they might ill–use me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:20 @ But Jeremiah said, They will not give up. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:21 @ But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shown me:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:22 @ And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be led forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and these women shall say, "They have enticed, and have overpersuaded thee––thy men that should have sought thy welfare; thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they have withdrawn themselves backward."

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:23 @ And all thy wives and thy children shall they bring out to the Chaldeans; and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand; for by the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be caught; and this city wilt thou cause to be burnt with fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:24 @ Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, that thou mayest not die.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:25 @ And if the princes should hear that I have spoken with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, tell us, we pray thee, what thou hast spoken unto the king, conceal it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king hath spoken unto thee:

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:26 @ Then shalt thou say unto them, I presented my humble supplication before the king, that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.

sf_leeser_rev1@Jeremiah:38:27 @ And all the princes came unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them in accordance with all these words that the king had commanded. And they turned away silent from him; for the matter had not been made public.
