H4428G–מֶ֫לֶךְ–me.lekh

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith Jehovah concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [ergänzt: saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.

הַמְּלָכִ֨ים (מְּלָכִ֨ים) me.la.Khim “kings”

Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

when the king of Babylon's army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [ergänzt: alone] remained of the cities of Judah [ergänzt: as] fortified cities.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, that are gone away from you.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes were sitting there, [ergänzt: to wit], Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and [ergänzt: there was a fire in] the brazier burning before him.

וְהַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them.

בַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”
