*
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 unto thee to come with me into Babylon ,
come ;
and I will look well unto thee :
but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon ,
forbear :
behold ,
all the land is before thee :
whither it seemeth good and convenient 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 unto thee to go .
So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward ,
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 .
