1. THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,
|
1. Then all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 , and Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and Jezaniah H3153 the son H1121 of Hoshaiah H1955 , and all H3605 the people H5971 from the least H4480 H6996 even unto H5704 the greatest H1419 , came near H5066 ,
|
|
2. Go to the house of the Archabin, and thou shalt bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.
|
2. And said H559 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 , Let , we beseech thee H4994 , our supplication H8467 be accepted H5307 before H6440 thee , and pray H6419 for H1157 us unto H413 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , even for H1157 all H3605 this H2063 remnant H7611 ; ( for H3588 we are left H7604 but a few H4592 of many H4480 H7235 , as H834 thine eyes H5869 do behold H7200 us:)
|
|
3. So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;
|
3. That the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may show H5046 us H853 the way H1870 wherein H834 we may walk H1980 , and the thing H1697 that H834 we may do H6213 .
|
|
4. and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Joanan, the son of Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who Gr. is dwells near the house of the princes that are Heb. and Alex. «above’ referring to the place over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.
|
4. Then Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 said H559 unto H413 them , I have heard H8085 you ; behold H2009 , I will pray H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 your God H430 according to your words H1697 ; and it shall come to pass H1961 , that whatsoever H3605 H834 thing H1697 the LORD H3068 shall answer H6030 you , I will declare H5046 it unto you ; I will keep nothing back H4513 H3808 H1697 from H4480 you.
|
|
5. And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink ye wine.
|
5. Then they H1992 said H559 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 , The LORD H3068 be H1961 a true H571 and faithful H539 witness H5707 between us, if H518 we do H6213 not H3808 even H3651 according to all H3605 things H1697 for the which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall send H7971 thee to H413 us.
|
|
6. But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, Ye shall on no account drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
|
6. Whether H518 it be good H2896 , or whether H518 it be evil H7451 , we will obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 , to whom H834 we H580 send H7971 thee; that H4616 H834 it may be well H3190 with us, when H3588 we obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
7. nor shall ye at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall ye have a vineyard: for ye shall dwell in tents all your days; that ye may live many days upon the land, in which ye sojourn.
|
7. And it came to pass H1961 after H4480 H7093 ten H6235 days H3117 , that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 .
|
|
8. And we hearkened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;
|
8. Then called H7121 H413 he Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Kareah H7143 , and all H3605 the captains H8269 of the forces H2428 which H834 were with H854 him , and all H3605 the people H5971 from the least H4480 H6996 even to H5704 the greatest H1419 ,
|
|
9. and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
|
9. And said H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 , unto H413 whom H834 ye sent H7971 me to present H5307 your supplication H8467 before H6440 him;
|
|
10. but we have dwelt in tents, and have hearkened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
|
10. If H518 ye will still abide H7725 H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , then will I build H1129 you , and not H3808 pull you down H2040 , and I will plant H5193 you , and not H3808 pluck you up H5428 : for H3588 I repent H5162 me of H413 the evil H7451 that H834 I have done H6213 unto you.
|
|
11. And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we dwelt there.
|
11. Be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 , of whom H834 ye H859 are afraid H3372 H4480 H6440 ; be not H408 afraid H3372 of H4480 him, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I H589 am with H854 you to save H3467 you , and to deliver H5337 you from his hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
12. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
12. And I will show H5414 mercies H7356 unto you , that he may have mercy upon H7355 you , and cause you to return H7725 H853 to H413 your own land H127 .
|
|
13. Thus saith the Lord, Go, and say to the Gr. man men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will ye not receive Or, instruction correction to hearken to my words?
|
13. But if H518 ye H859 say H559 , We will not H3808 dwell H3427 in this H2063 land H776 , neither H1115 obey H8085 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 ,
|
|
14. The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk it: but I spoke to you early, and ye hearkened not.
|
14. Saying H559 , No H3808 ; but H3588 we will go H935 into the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , where H834 we shall see H7200 no H3808 war H4421 , nor H3808 hear H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet H7782 , nor H3808 have hunger H7456 of bread H3899 ; and there H8033 will we dwell H3427 :
|
|
15. And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn ye every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but ye inclined not your ears, and hearkened not.
|
15. And now H6258 therefore H3651 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; If H518 ye H859 wholly set H7760 H7760 your faces H6440 to enter into H935 Egypt H4714 , and go H935 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ;
|
|
16. But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not hearkened to me.
|
16. Then it shall come to pass H1961 , that the sword H2719 , which H834 ye H859 feared H3373 H4480 , shall overtake H5381 you there H8033 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , and the famine H7458 , whereof H834 ye H859 were afraid H1672 H4480 , shall follow close H1692 after H310 you there H8033 in Egypt H4714 ; and there H8033 ye shall die H4191 .
|
|
17. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.
|
17. So shall it be H1961 with all H3605 the men H376 that H834 set H7760 H853 their faces H6440 to go into H935 Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there H8033 ; they shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , by the famine H7458 , and by the pestilence H1698 : and none H3808 of them shall H1961 remain H8300 or escape H6412 from H4480 H6440 the evil H7451 that H834 I H589 will bring H935 upon H5921 them.
|
|
18. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have hearkened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:
|
18. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; As H834 mine anger H639 and my fury H2534 hath been poured forth H5413 upon H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 ; so H3651 shall my fury H2534 be poured forth H5413 upon H5921 you , when ye shall H1961 enter into H935 Egypt H4714 : and ye shall be an execration H423 , and an astonishment H8047 , and a curse H7045 , and a reproach H2781 ; and ye shall see H7200 H853 this H2088 place H4725 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
19. there shall never be wanting a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab Gr. standing to stand before my face Gr. all the days of the earth while the earth remains.
|
19. The LORD H3068 hath said H1696 concerning H5921 you , O ye remnant H7611 of Judah H3063 ; Go H935 ye not H408 into Egypt H4714 : know certainly H3045 H3045 that H3588 I have admonished H5749 you this day H3117 .
