At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.

אֶֽהְיֶה֙ 'eh.Yeh “I will become”יִֽהְיוּ־ yih.yu- “they will become”

They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

הָיִ֤יתִי ha.Yi.ti “I have become”

So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more

וְהָיְתָ֤ה (הָיְתָ֤ה) ha.ye.Tah “it will be”

And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says t

וְהָיָ֞ה (הָיָ֞ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

וְהָיִ֤יתִי (הָיִ֤יתִי) ha.Yi.ti “I will become”יִֽהְיוּ־ yih.yu- “they will become”

If the order of these things before me is ever broken, says the Lord, then will the seed of Israel come to an end as a nation before me for ever.

מִֽהְי֥וֹת (הְי֥וֹת) h.Yot “being”

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “it came”

Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.

הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “he was”

And he will take Zedekiah away to Babylon, where he will be till I have pity on him, says the Lord: though you are fighting with the Chaldaeans, things will not go well for you?

יִֽהְיֶ֔ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “it came”

See, they have made earthworks against the town to take it; and the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword and need of food and disease: and what you have said has taken place, and truly you see i

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

וַיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it came”

For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes from their earliest years: the children of Israel have only made me angry with the work of their hands, says the Lord.

הָי֨וּ ha.Yu “they have been”

For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:

הָ֤יְתָה Ha.ye.tah “it has been”

And they will be my people, and I will be their God:

וְהָ֥יוּ (הָ֥יוּ) Ha.yu “they will become”אֶהְיֶ֥ה 'eh.Yeh “I will become”

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,

וַיְהִ֧י (יְהִ֧י) y.Hi “it came”

And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.

וְהָ֣יְתָה (הָ֣יְתָה) Ha.ye.tah “it will become”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.

יִֽהְיֶ֣ה׀ yih.Yeh “it will be”

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

וַֽיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it came”

The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,

הֱי֥וֹת he.Yot “to be”

Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.

מִהְיֽוֹת־ (הְיֽוֹת) h.yot- “belonging”

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

וַֽיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it came”

Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.

מִֽהְי֥וֹת (הְי֥וֹת) h.Yot “being”

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his rule, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns, saying,

הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “it came”

You will come to your end in peace; and such burnings as they made for your fathers, the earlier kings before you, will be made for you; and they will be weeping for you and saying, Ah lord! for I have said the word, says the Lord.
