And [G2532] heard Shephatiah son [G5207] of Mattan], and [G2532] Gedaliah son [G5207] of Pashur, and [G2532] Jucal son [G5207] of Shelemiah, and [G2532] Pashur son [G5207] of Malchiah, the [G3588] words [G3056] which [G3739] Jeremiah spoke [G2980] unto [G1909] the [G3588] people [G2992], saying [G3004],
2
Thus [G3779] said [G2036] Boss '[G2962], the [G3588] [one] dwelling [G2730] in [G1722] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] will die by [G1722] broadsword [G4501], and [G2532] by [G1722] famine [G3042], and [G2532] by [G1722] pestilence [G3061]; and [G2532] the [G3588] [one] going forth [G1607] to [G4314] the [G3588] Chaldeans will live [G2198]; and [G2532] will be the [G3588] his life [G5590][G1473] for [G1519] gain , and [G2532] he will live [G2198].
3
For [G3754] thus [G3779] said [G2036] Boss '[G2962], In being delivered up [G3860], will be delivered up [G3860] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of force [G1411] of king of Babylon, and [G2532] he will seize [G4815] it [G1473].
4
And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] rulers to the [G3588] king , Do away with indeed [G1211] the [G3588] that man [G1565], for [G3754] he [G1473] enfeebles [G1590] the [G3588] hands [G5495] of the [G3588] men the [G3588] waging war [G4170] of the [G3588] [ones] being left [G2641] in [G1722] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778], and [G2532] the [G3588] hands [G5495] of all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992], by speaking [G2980] to [G4314] them [G1473] according to [G2596] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778]. For [G3754] the [G3588] this man [G3778] does not [G3756] speak oracles for peace [G1515] [to the [G3588] this people [G2992][G3778], but only evils [G4190].
5
And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] king Zedekiah], look [G2400], he [G1473] [is] in [G1722] your hands [G5495][G1473]; for [G3754] was not [G3756] able [G1410] the [G3588] king to [G4314] [resist] them [G1473].
6
And [G2532] they took [G2983] the [G3588] Jeremiah, and [G2532] they tossed [G4495] him [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] pit of Malchiah, son [G5207] of the [G3588] king , which [G3739] was in [G1722] the [G3588] courtyard of the [G3588] guard [G5438]. And [G2532] they let him down [G5465][G1473] with [G1722] rough cords [G4979] into [G1519] the [G3588] pit . And [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] pit no [G3756] there was water [G5204], but only mire [G1004], and [G2532] he was in [G1722] the [G3588] mire [G1004].
7
And [G2532] heard Ebed-melech the [G3588] Ethiopian man eunuch [G2135] (and [G2532] he was [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] courtyard of the [G3588] king ) that [G3754] they cast [G1685] the [G3588] Jeremiah into [G1519] the [G3588] pit ; and [G2532] the [G3588] king was sitting down [G2521] at [G1722] the [G3588] gate [G4439] of Benjamin.
8
And [G2532] Ebed-melech went forth [G1831] from the [G3588] house [G3624] of king , and [G2532] he spoke [G2980] to [G4314] the [G3588] king , and [G2532] said [G2036],
9
My boss [G2962][G1473], O King , did wickedly the [G3588]se men [G1565] all [G3956] in which [G3739] they did [G4160] against [G2596] the [G3588] Jeremiah the [G3588] prophet [G4396], dropping [G4495] him [G1473] into [G1519] the [G3588] pit , that [G2443] he should die in [G1722] it [G1473] from face [G4383] of the [G3588] hunger [G3042], for [G3754] there are no [G3756] longer [G2089] bread loaves in [G1722] the [G3588] city [G4172].
10
And [G2532] gave charge [G1781] the [G3588] king [to the [G3588] Ebed-melech, saying [G3004], Take [G2983] with [G3326] yourself [G4572] from here [G1782] thirty [G5144] men , and [G2532] lead him [G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] pit , that [G2443] he should not [G3361] die .
11
And [G2532] Ebed-melech took [G2983] the [G3588] men , and [G2532] he entered [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3614] of the [G3588] king , the [G3588] subterranean [part , and [G2532] he took [G2983] from there [G1564] old [G3820] rags [G4470] and [G2532] old [G3820] rough cords [G4979]; and [G2532] he tossed [G4495] them [G1473] to [G4314] Jeremiah in [G1519] the [G3588] pit .
12
And [G2532] he said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473], Put [G5087] these [G3778] underneath [G5270] the [G3588] rough cords [G4979]! And [G2532] Jeremiah did [G4160] so [G3779].
13
And [G2532] they drew [G1670] him [G1473] with [G1722] the [G3588] rough cords [G4979], and [G2532] led him up [G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] pit . And [G2532] Jeremiah sat down [G2523] in [G1722] the [G3588] courtyard of the [G3588] guard [G5438].
14
And [G2532] sent the [G3588] king and [G2532] called [G2564] him [G1473] to [G4314] himself [G1438] into [G1519] house [G3614] Asaliseel, the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] house [G3624] of Boss '[G2962]. And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] the [G3588] king , I will ask [G2065] you [G1473] a word [G3056], and [G2532] you will not [G3361] hide [G2928] from me [G1473] saying [G4487].
15
And [G2532] Jeremiah said [G2036] to the [G3588] king , If [G1437] I should announce to you [G1473], will you not [G3780] to death [G2288] put me to death [G1473][G2289]? and [G2532] if [G1437] I will advise [G4823] you [G1473], in no way will you hear me [G1473].
16
And [G2532] swore by an oath [G3660] the [G3588] king to him [G1473] secretly [G2931], saying [G3004], As BOSS lives [G2198][G2962], who [G3739] appointed [G4160] us [G1473] the [G3588] this life [G5590][G3778], will I kill [G1487] you [G1473], and [G2532] will I put [G1487][G1325] you [G1473] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of the [G3588] men these [G3778], the [G3588] [ones] seeking [G2212] the [G3588] your life, [No! [G5590][G1473]
17
And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] Jeremiah], Thus [G3779] said [G2036] Boss '[G2962] of for the [G3588]ces [G1411], the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Israel, If [G1437] by going forth [G1831] you should go forth [G1831] to [G4314] governors [G2232] of king of Babylon, will live [G2198] the [G3588] your soul [G5590][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] in no way will be incinerated [G2618] by [G1722] fire [G4442]; and [G2532] you will live [G2198][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] your family [G3614][G1473].
18
But [G2532] if [G1437] you do not [G3361] go forth [G1831], will be given [G1325] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of the [G3588] Chaldeans, and [G2532] they will burn [G2545] it [G1473] with [G1722] fire [G4442], and [G2532] in no way [G1473] will you be delivered [G4982] from their hands [G5495][G1473].
19
And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] king the [G3588] to Jeremiah, I [G1473] a word '[G3056] have [G2192] with the [G3588] Jews the [G3588] having fled [G5343] to [G4314] the [G3588] Chaldeans, lest [G3361] they give [G1325] me [G1473] into [G1519] their hands [G5495][G1473], and [G2532] they will deride me [G1473].
20
And [G2532] Jeremiah said [G2036], In no way will they deliver you up [G3860][G1473]. Hearken to the [G3588] word [G3056] of Boss '[G2962]! which [G3739] I [G1473] say [G3004] to [G4314] you [G1473], and [G2532] better it will be for you [G1473], and [G2532] will live [G2198] the [G3588] your soul [G5590][G1473]!
21
And [G2532] if do not [G1508] want [G2309] you [G1473] to come forth [G1831], this [is [G3778] the [G3588] word [G3056] which [G3739] showed [G1166] to me [G1473] Boss '[G2962].
22
look [G2400], all [G3956] the [G3588] women [G1135] the [G3588] being left behind [G2641] in [G1722] house [G3614] of king of Judah having been led out [G1806] to [G4314] rulers of king of Babylon; and [G2532] these [women [G3778] [will say [G3004], deceived you [G1473] and [G2532] prevailed over [G1410] you [G1473] men at peace with you [G1516][G1473], and [G2532] they will depose [you [G2647] in [G1722] slips of your feet [G4228][G1473]; they turned from you [G1473].
23
And [G2532] the [G3588] your wives [G1135][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] children [G5043] of you [G1473] they will lead out [G1806] to [G4314] the [G3588] Chaldeans; and [G2532] you [G1473] in no way will you be delivered [G4982], for [G3754] by [G1722] hand [G5495] of king of Babylon you will be seized [G4815], and [G2532] the [G3588] this city [G4172][G3778] will be incinerated [G2618].
24
And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] the [G3588] Zedekiah], to [G4314] the [G3588] Jeremiah, no man [G3361] Let] know [G1097] of [G1537] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778]! and [G2532] you will [G1473] in no way die .
25
And [G2532] if [G1437] the [G3588] rulers should hear that [G3754] I spoke [G2980] to you [G1473], and [G2532] they should come [G2064] to [G4314] you [G1473], and [G2532] should say [G2036] to you [G1473]; Announce to us [G1473] what [G5100] you spoke [G2980] to [G4314] the [G3588] king , you should not hide [it [G3361][G2928] from us [G1473], then [G2532] in no way will we do away with you [G1473]; and [G2532] what did [G5100] say [G2980] to [G4314] you [G1473] the [G3588] king ?
26
And [G2532] you will say [G2046] to them [G1473], I tossed [G4495][G1473] the [G3588] my [plead for] compassion [G1656][G1473] before [G2596] eyes [G3788] of the [G3588] king , to [G4314] the [G3588] not [G3361] return me [G1473] to [G1519] house [G3614] of Jonathan for me to die [G1473] there [G1563].
27
And [G2532] came [G2064] all [G3956] the [G3588] rulers to [G4314] Jeremiah, and [G2532] they asked [G2065] him [G1473]. And [G2532] he announced to them [G1473] according to [G2596] all [G3956] the [G3588] words [G3056] these [G3778] which [G3739] gave charge [G1781] to him [G1473] the [G3588] king . And [G2532] they were silent , for [G3754] was not heard [G3756] the [G3588] word '[G3056].
28
And [G2532] Jeremiah sat down [G2523] in [G1722] the [G3588] courtyard of the [G3588] guard [G5438] until [G2193] a time [G5550] of which [G3739] Jerusalem was seized [G4815].
