H3414L–יִרְמְיָ֫הוּ–yir.me.yah

And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake unto all the people, saying,

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.

יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin,)

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.

לְיִרְמְיָ֣הוּ (יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ) yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

יִרְמְיָ֧הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.

יִרְמְיָ֤הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house.

יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

יִרְמְיָ֜הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive unto Babylon.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;

לְיִרְמְיָ֑הוּ (יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ) yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray thee, our supplication be presented before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:

יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

יִרְמְיָ֤הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”
