Jeremiah 32:1
|
|
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:2 |
|
For then the king of Babylon's army besieged
Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which
was in the king of Judah's house. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:3 |
|
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up,
saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I
will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:4 |
|
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape
out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand
of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes
shall behold his eyes; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:5 |
|
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there
shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans,
ye shall not prosper. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:6 |
|
And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came
unto me, saying, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:7 |
|
Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle
shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right
of redemption is thine to buy it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:8 |
|
So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the
court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my
field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin:
for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for
thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:9 |
|
And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's
son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of
silver. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:10 |
|
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it,
and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:11 |
|
So I took the evidence of the purchase, both
that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:12 |
|
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's
son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase,
before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:13 |
|
And I charged Baruch before them, saying, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:14 |
|
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and
this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may
continue many days. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:15 |
|
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:16 |
|
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the
purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:17 |
|
Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven
and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too
hard for thee: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:18 |
|
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands,
and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children
after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:19 |
|
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine
eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according
to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:20 |
|
Which hast set signs and wonders in the land
of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made
thee a name, as at this day; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:21 |
|
And hast brought forth thy people Israel out
of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and
with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:22 |
|
And hast given them this land, which thou didst
swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:23 |
|
And they came in, and possessed it; but they
obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all
that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to
come upon them: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:24 |
|
Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city
to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against
it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou
hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:25 |
|
And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy
thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand
of the Chaldeans. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:26 |
|
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah,
saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:27 |
|
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh:
is there any thing too hard for me? |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:28 |
|
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will
give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon, and he shall take it: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:29 |
|
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city,
shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose
roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto
other gods, to provoke me to anger. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:30 |
|
For the children of Israel and the children
of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel
have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:31 |
|
For this city hath been to me as a provocation
of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day;
that I should remove it from before my face, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:32 |
|
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel
and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they,
their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of
Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:33 |
|
And they have turned unto me the back, and not
the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have
not hearkened to receive instruction. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:34 |
|
But they set their abominations in the house,
which is called by my name, to defile it. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:35 |
|
And they built the high places of Baal, which
are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters
to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came
it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:36 |
|
And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God
of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the
hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:37 |
|
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries,
whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath;
and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:38 |
|
And they shall be my people, and I will be their
God: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:39 |
|
And I will give them one heart, and one way,
that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after
them: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:40 |
|
And I will make an everlasting covenant with
them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my
fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:41 |
|
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good,
and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole
soul. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:42 |
|
For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought
all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that
I have promised them. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:43 |
|
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof
ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the
Chaldeans. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 32:44 |
|
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe
evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the
places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains,
and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause
their captivity to return, saith the LORD. |
