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

וַיֹּ֡אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיִּמְשְׁכ֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּעֲל֥וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֣שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיִּשְׁלַ֞ח (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּ֞ח (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.'

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying: 'As the LORD 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.'

וַיִּשָּׁבַ֞ע (וַ) va “and”

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah: 'Thus saith the LORD, 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, thou, and t

but if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.'

וְנִתְּנָ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּשְׂרָפ֖וּהָ (וּ) u. “and”

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.'

וַיֹּ֛אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהִתְעַלְּלוּ־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee: Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee;

וּבָ֣אוּ (וּ) u. “and”וְֽאָמְר֪וּ (וְֽ) ve. “and”

then thou shalt say unto them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.'

וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ (וְ) ve. “and”

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 reported.

וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁאֲל֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֤ד (וַ) va “and”וַיַּחֲרִ֣שׁוּ (וַ) va “and”

So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass, when Jerusalem was taken--

in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;

וַיָּצֻ֖רוּ (וַ) va “and”

that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ (וַ) va “and”

And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls; and he went out the way of the Arabah.

וַיְהִ֡י (וַ) va “and”וַֽ֠יִּבְרְחוּ (וַֽ֠) Va “and”וַיֵּצְא֨וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵ֖א (וַ) va “and”

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he gave judgment upon him.

וַיִּרְדְּפ֨וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּשִּׂ֣גוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְח֣וּ (וַ) va “and”וַֽ֠יַּעֲלֻהוּ (וַֽ֠) Va “and”וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר (וַ) va “and”

Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.

וַיִּשְׁחַט֩ (וַ) va “and”

Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

וַיַּאַסְרֵ֙הוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields in that day.

וַיִּתֵּ֥ן (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיְצַ֛ו (וַ) va “and”

So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban Rab-saris, and Nergal-sarezer Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
