| 42:1 | Then all the captains8269 of the forces,2428 and Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and Jezaniah3153 the son1121 of Hoshaiah,1955 and all the people5971 from the least6996 even unto the greatest,1419 came near,5066 | |
| 42:2 | And said559 unto Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 Let, we beseech thee, our supplication8467 be accepted5307 before6440 thee, and pray6419 for us unto Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 even for all this remnant;7611 (for we are left7604 but a few4592 of many,7235 as thine eyes5869 do behold7200 us:) | |
| 42:3 | That Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 may shew5046 us the way1870 wherein we may walk,3212 and the thing1697 that we may do.6213 | |
| 42:4 | Then Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 said559 unto them, I have heard8085 you; behold, I will pray6419 unto Yahweh3068 your Elohim430 according to your words;1697 and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing1697 Yahweh3068 shall answer6030 you, I will declare5046 it unto you; I will keep nothing1697 back4513 from you. | |
| 42:5 | Then they said559 to Jeremiah,3414 Yahweh3068 be a true571 and faithful539 witness5707 between us, if we do6213 not even according to all things1697 for the which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 shall send7971 thee to us. | |
| 42:6 | Whether it be good,2896 or whether it be evil,7451 we will obey8085 the voice6963 of Yahweh3068 our Elohim,430 to whom we580 send7971 thee; that it may be well3190 with us, when we obey8085 the voice6963 of Yahweh3068 our Elohim.430 | |
| 42:7 | And it came to pass after7093 ten6235 days,3117 that the word1697 of Yahweh3068 came unto Jeremiah.3414 | |
| 42:8 | Then called7121 he Johanan3110 the son1121 of Kareah,7143 and all the captains8269 of the forces2428 which were with him, and all the people5971 from the least6996 even to the greatest,1419 | |
| 42:9 | And said559 unto them, Thus saith559 Yahweh,3068 the Elohim430 of Israel,3478 unto whom ye sent7971 me to present5307 your supplication8467 before6440 him; | |
| 42:10 | If ye will still7725 abide3427 in this land,776 then will I build1129 you, and not pull you down,2040 and I will plant5193 you, and not pluck you up:5428 for I repent5162 me of the evil7451 that I have done6213 unto you. | |
| 42:11 | Be not afraid3372 of6440 the king4428 of Babylon,894 of whom6440 ye are afraid;3373 be not afraid3372 of him, saith5002 Yahweh:3068 for I am with you to save3467 you, and to deliver5337 you from his hand.3027 | |
| 42:12 | And I will shew5414 mercies7356 unto you, that he may have mercy7355 upon you, and cause you to return7725 to your own land.127 | |
| 42:13 | But if ye say,559 We will not dwell3427 in this land,776 neither obey8085 the voice6963 of Yahweh3068 your Elohim,430 | |
| 42:14 | Saying,559 No; but we will go935 into the land776 of Egypt,4714 where we shall see7200 no war,4421 nor hear8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 nor have hunger7456 of bread;3899 and there will we dwell:3427 | |
| 42:15 | And now therefore hear8085 the word1697 of Yahweh,3068 ye remnant7611 of Judah;3063 Thus saith559 Yahweh3068 of hosts,6635 the Elohim430 of Israel;3478 If ye wholly7760 set7760 your faces6440 to enter into935 Egypt,4714 and go935 to sojourn1481 there; | |
| 42:16 | Then it shall come to pass, that the sword,2719 which ye feared,3373 shall overtake5381 you there in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and the famine,7458 whereof ye were afraid,1672 shall follow close1692 after310 you there in Egypt;4714 and there ye shall die.4191 | |
| 42:17 | So shall it be with all the men582 that set7760 their faces6440 to go into935 Egypt4714 to sojourn1481 there; they shall die4191 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence:1698 and none of them shall remain8300 or escape6412 from6440 the evil7451 that I will bring935 upon them. | |
| 42:18 | For thus saith559 Yahweh3068 of hosts,6635 the Elohim430 of Israel;3478 As mine anger639 and my fury2534 hath been poured forth5413 upon the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 so shall my fury2534 be poured forth5413 upon you, when ye shall enter into935 Egypt:4714 and ye shall be an execration,423 and an astonishment,8047 and a curse,7045 and a reproach;2781 and ye shall see7200 this place4725 no more. | |
| 42:19 | Yahweh3068 hath said1696 concerning you, O ye remnant7611 of Judah;3063 Go935 ye not into Egypt:4714 know3045 certainly3045 that I have admonished5749 you this day.3117 | |
| 42:20 | For ye dissembled8582 in your hearts,5315 when ye sent7971 me unto Yahweh3068 your Elohim,430 saying,559 Pray6419 for us unto Yahweh3068 our Elohim;430 and according unto all that Yahweh3068 our Elohim430 shall say,559 so declare5046 unto us, and we will do6213 it. | |
| 42:21 | And now I have this day3117 declared5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyed8085 the voice6963 of Yahweh3068 your Elohim,430 nor any thing for the which he hath sent7971 me unto you. | |
| 42:22 | Now therefore know3045 certainly3045 that ye shall die4191 by the sword,2719 by the famine,7458 and by the pestilence,1698 in the place4725 whither ye desire2654 to go935 and to sojourn.1481 |
