H4428G–מֶ֫לֶךְ–me.lekh

The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 of it, saying:

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Yahweh, 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 you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Yet hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says Yahweh concerning you, You shall not die by the sword;

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

you shall die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, [ergänzt: saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says Yahweh.

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

Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to 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 to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, who have gone away from you.

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

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

מֶ֥לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

But it happened, 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”

It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Now it happened 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 who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, behold, 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 happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.

לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

They went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the scroll 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 get the scroll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who 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”

They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who 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 scroll; but he would not hear them.

בַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?

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

Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on 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 scroll, 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 to them many like words.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”
