וַיְצַוֶּ֣ה (וַ) va “and”וְֽהַעֲלִ֜יתָ (וְֽ) ve. “and”

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

וַיִּקַּ֣ח׀ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקַּ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיְשַׁלְּחֵ֧ם (וַ) va “and”

And Ebed-melech the Cushite said to Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and decayed rags under thy arm-holes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

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

So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said to 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 to Zedekiah, If I declare it to thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken to me?

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to 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 to Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house:

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְחָיְתָ֣ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְחָיִ֖תָה (וְ) ve. “and”

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 from their hand.

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

And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that have fallen 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. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak to thee: so it shall be well to thee, and thy soul shall live.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then said Zedekiah to 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 to thee, and say to thee, Declare to us now what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said to thee:

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

Then thou shalt say to 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 to 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 perceived.

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

And it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went 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 plain.

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

But the Chaldeans' army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where 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”
