Jeremiah:49:7-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass after ten days ,
that the word of the Lord came to Jeremias .
*
And he called Joanan ,
and the leaders of the host ,
and all the people from the least even to the greatest ,
*
and he said to them ,
Thus saith the Lord ;
*
If ye will indeed dwell in this land ,
I will build you ,
and will not pull you down ,
but will plant you ,
and in no wise pluck you up :
for I have (

rested upon ,
but Alex .

from ’(:
note )
ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you .
*
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon ,
of whom ye are afraid ;
be not afraid of him ,
saith the Lord :
for I am with you ,
to deliver you ,
and save you out of their hand .
*
And I will grant you mercy ,
and pity you ,
and will restore you to your land .
*
But if ye say ,
We will not dwell in this land ,
that we may not hearken to the voice of the Lord ;
*
for we will go into the land of Egypt ,
and we shall see no war ,
and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet ,
and we shall not hunger for bread ;
and there we will dwell :
*
then hear the word of the Lord ;
thus saith the Lord ;
*
If ye set your face toward Egypt ,
and go in there to dwell ;
then it shall be ,
that the sword which ye fear shall find you in the land of Egypt ,
and the famine to which ye have regard ,
shall overtake you ,
coming after you in Egypt ;
and there ye shall die .
*
And all the men ,
and all the (

aliens by birth (:
note )
strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there ,
shall be consumed by the sword ,
and by the famine :
and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them .
*
For thus saith the Lord ;
As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
so shall my wrath drop upon you ,
when ye have entered into Egypt :
and ye shall be a desolation ,
and under the power of others ,
and a curse and a reproach :
and ye shall no more see this place .
*
These are the words which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda ;
Enter ye not into Egypt :
and now know ye for a certainty ,
*
that ye have wrought wickedness (
note :)
Or ,
against your souls (:
note )
in your hearts ,
when ye sent me ,
saying ,
Pray thou for us to the Lord ;
and according to all that the Lord shall speak to thee we will do .
*
And ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord ,
with which he sent me to you .
*
Now therefore ye shall perish by sword and by famine ,
in the place which ye desire to go into to dwell there .
