And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (מֶּ֤לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

The Lord has said, This town will certainly be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man be put to death, because he is putting fear into the hearts of the men of war who are still in the town, and into the hearts of the people, by saying such things to them: this man is not working for the well

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then Zedekiah the king said, See, he is in your hands: for the king was not able to do anything against them.

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:

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”וְהַמֶּ֥לֶךְ (מֶּ֥לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

And Ebed-melech went out from the king's house and said to the king,

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ (מֶּ֧לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

But if you do not go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then this town will be given into the hands of the Chaldaeans and they will put it on fire, and you will not get away from them.

מֶ֣לֶךְ Me.lekh “[the] king of”

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.

הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ (מֶּ֥לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

See, all the rest of the women in the house of the king of Judah will be taken out to the king of Babylon's captains, and these women will say, Your nearest friends have been false to you and have got the better of you: they have made your feet go deep i

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

And they will take all your wives and your children out to the Chaldaeans: and you will not get away out of their hands, but will be taken by the hands of the king of Babylon: and this town will be burned with fire.

מֶֽלֶךְ־ Me.lekh- “[the] king of”

But if it comes to the ears of the rulers that I have been talking with you, and they come and say to you, Give us word now of what you have said to the king and what the king said to you, keeping nothing back and we will not put you to death;

הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ (מֶּ֛לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then you are to say to them, I made my request to the king, that he would not send me back to my death in Jonathan's house.
