Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

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

Now it came to the ears of Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an unsexed servant in the king's house, that they had put Jeremiah into the water-hole; the king at that time being seated in the doorway of Benjamin:

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

My lord the king, these men have done evil in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have put into the water-hole; and he will come to his death in the place where he is through need of food: for there is no more bread in the town.

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

Then the king gave orders to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take with you three men from here and get Jeremiah out of the water-hole before death overtakes him.

יִרְמְיָ֧הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

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

So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

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

Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and took him into the rulers' doorway in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah, I have a question to put to you; keep nothing back from me.

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

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I give you the answer to your question, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I make a suggestion to you, you will not give it a hearing.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, These are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel: If you go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then you will have life, and the town will not be burned with fire, and you and your family will be ke

יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am troubled on account of the Jews who have gone over to the Chaldaeans, for fear that they may give me up to them and they will put me to shame.

יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

But Jeremiah said, They will not give you up: be guided now by the word of the Lord as I have given it to you, and it will be well for you, and you will keep your life.

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man have knowledge of these words, and you will not be put to death.

יִרְמְיָ֗הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,

יִרְמְיָ֑הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.

יִרְמְיָ֜הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,

יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners

יִרְמְיָ֙הוּ֙ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And the captain of the armed men took Jeremiah and said to him, The Lord your God gave word of the evil which was to come on this place:

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

So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah, and was living with him among the people who were still in the land.

יִרְמְיָ֛הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:

יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”

Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have given ear to you; see, I will make prayer to the Lord your God, as you have said; and it will be that, whatever the Lord may say in answer to you, I will give you word of it, keeping nothing back.

יִרְמְיָ֤הוּ yir.me.Ya.hu “Jeremiah”
