Jeremiah 44 (kjv)

The word^H1697 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning all the Jews^H3064 which dwell^H3427 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, which dwell^H3427 at Migdol^H4024, and at Tahpanhes^H8471, and at Noph^H5297, and in the country^H776 of Pathros^H6624, saying^H559,²Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Ye have seen^H7200 all the evil^H7451 that I have brought^H935 upon Jerusalem^H3389, and upon all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063; and, behold, this day^H3117 they are a desolation^H2723, and no man dwelleth^H3427 therein,³Because^H6440 of their wickedness^H7451 which they have committed^H6213 to provoke me to anger^H3707, in that they went^H3212 to burn incense^H6999, and to serve^H5647 other^H312 gods^H430, whom they knew^H3045 not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers^H1.⁴Howbeit I sent^H7971 unto you all my servants^H5650 the prophets^H5030, rising early^H7925 and sending^H7971 them, saying^H559, Oh, do^H6213 not this abominable^H8441 thing^H1697 that I hate^H8130.⁵But they hearkened^H8085 not, nor inclined^H5186 their ear^H241 to turn^H7725 from their wickedness^H7451, to burn no incense^H6999 unto other^H312 gods^H430.⁶Wherefore my fury^H2534 and mine anger^H639 was poured forth^H5413, and was kindled^H1197 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063 and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389; and they are wasted^H2723 and desolate^H8077, as at this day^H3117.⁷Therefore now thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, the God^H430 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Wherefore commit^H6213 ye this great^H1419 evil^H7451 against your souls^H5315, to cut off^H3772 from you man^H376 and woman^H802, child^H5768 and suckling^H3243, out^H8432 of Judah^H3063, to leave^H3498 you none to remain^H7611;⁸In that ye provoke me unto wrath^H3707 with the works^H4639 of your hands^H3027, burning incense^H6999 unto other^H312 gods^H430 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, whither ye be gone^H935 to dwell^H1481, that ye might cut yourselves off^H3772, and that ye might be a curse^H7045 and a reproach^H2781 among all the nations^H1471 of the earth^H776?⁹Have ye forgotten^H7911 the wickedness^H7451 of your fathers^H1, and the wickedness^H7451 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and the wickedness^H7451 of their wives^H802, and your own wickedness^H7451, and the wickedness^H7451 of your wives^H802, which they have committed^H6213 in the land^H776 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389?¹⁰They are not humbled^H1792 even unto this day^H3117, neither have they feared^H3372, nor walked^H1980 in my law^H8451, nor in my statutes^H2708, that I set^H5414 before^H6440 you and before^H6440 your fathers^H1.

¹¹Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478; Behold, I will set^H7760 my face^H6440 against you for evil^H7451, and to cut off^H3772 all Judah^H3063.¹²And I will take^H3947 the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, that have set^H7760 their faces^H6440 to go^H935 into the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, and they shall all be consumed^H8552, and fall^H5307 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; they shall even be consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458: they shall die^H4191, from the least^H6996 even unto the greatest^H1419, by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458: and they shall be an execration^H423, and an astonishment^H8047, and a curse^H7045, and a reproach^H2781.¹³For I will punish^H6485 them that dwell^H3427 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, as I have punished^H6485 Jerusalem^H3389, by the sword^H2719, by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698:¹⁴So that none of the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, which are gone^H935 into the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, shall escape^H6412 or remain^H8300, that they should return^H7725 into the land^H776 of Judah^H3063, to the which they have^H5375 a desire^H5315 to return^H7725 to dwell^H3427 there: for none shall return^H7725 but such as shall escape^H6405.

¹⁵Then all the men^H582 which knew^H3045 that their wives^H802 had burned incense^H6999 unto other^H312 gods^H430, and all the women^H802 that stood by^H5975, a great^H1419 multitude^H6951, even all the people^H5971 that dwelt^H3427 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, in Pathros^H6624, answered^H6030 Jeremiah^H3414, saying^H559,¹⁶As for the word^H1697 that thou hast spoken^H1696 unto us in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, we will not hearken^H8085 unto thee.¹⁷But we will certainly^H6213 do^H6213 whatsoever thing^H1697 goeth forth^H3318 out of our own mouth^H6310, to burn incense^H6999 unto the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, as we have done^H6213, we, and our fathers^H1, our kings^H4428, and our princes^H8269, in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389: for then had we plenty^H7646 of victuals^H3899, and were well^H2896, and saw^H7200 no evil^H7451.¹⁸But since we left off^H2308 to burn incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, we have wanted^H2637 all things, and have been consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458.¹⁹And when we burned incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and poured out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, did we make^H6213 her cakes^H3561 to worship^H6087 her, and pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her, without^H1107 our men^H582?

²⁰Then Jeremiah^H3414 said^H559 unto all the people^H5971, to the men^H1397, and to the women^H802, and to all the people^H5971 which had given him that answer^{H1697 H6030}, saying^H559,²¹The incense^H7002 that ye burned^H6999 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389, ye, and your fathers^H1, your kings^H4428, and your princes^H8269, and the people^H5971 of the land^H776, did not the LORD^H3068 remember^H2142 them, and came^H5927 it not into his mind^H3820?²²So that the LORD^H3068 could^H3201 no longer bear^H5375, because^H6440 of the evil^H7455 of your doings^H4611, and because^H6440 of the abominations^H8441 which ye have committed^H6213; therefore is your land^H776 a desolation^H2723, and an astonishment^H8047, and a curse^H7045, without an inhabitant^H3427, as at this day^H3117.²³Because^{H6440 H834} ye have burned incense^H6999, and because ye have sinned^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, and have not obeyed^H8085 the voice^H6963 of the LORD^H3068, nor walked^H1980 in his law^H8451, nor in his statutes^H2708, nor in his testimonies^H5715; therefore this evil^H7451 is happened^H7122 unto you, as at this day^H3117.²⁴Moreover Jeremiah^H3414 said^H559 unto all the people^H5971, and to all the women^H802, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all Judah^H3063 that are in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714:²⁵Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559; Ye and your wives^H802 have both spoken^H1696 with your mouths^H6310, and fulfilled^H4390 with your hand^H3027, saying^H559, We will surely^H6213 perform^H6213 our vows^H5088 that we have vowed^H5087, to burn incense^H6999 to the queen^H4446 of heaven^H8064, and to pour out^H5258 drink offerings^H5262 unto her: ye will surely^H6965 accomplish^H6965 your vows^H5088, and surely^H6213 perform^H6213 your vows^H5088.²⁶Therefore hear^H8085 ye the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, all Judah^H3063 that dwell^H3427 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; Behold, I have sworn^H7650 by my great^H1419 name^H8034, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, that my name^H8034 shall no more be named^H7121 in the mouth^H6310 of any man^H376 of Judah^H3063 in all the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714, saying^H559, The Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 liveth^H2416.²⁷Behold, I will watch^H8245 over them for evil^H7451, and not for good^H2896: and all the men^H376 of Judah^H3063 that are in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 shall be consumed^H8552 by the sword^H2719 and by the famine^H7458, until there be an end^H3615 of them.²⁸Yet a small^H4962 number^H4557 that escape^H6412 the sword^H2719 shall return out^H7725 of the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 into the land^H776 of Judah^H3063, and all the remnant^H7611 of Judah^H3063, that are gone^H935 into the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714 to sojourn^H1481 there, shall know^H3045 whose words^H1697 shall stand^H6965, mine, or theirs.

²⁹And this shall be a sign^H226 unto you, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that I will punish^H6485 you in this place^H4725, that ye may know^H3045 that my words^H1697 shall surely^H6965 stand^H6965 against you for evil^H7451:³⁰Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, I will give^H5414 Pharaohhophra^H6548 king^H4428 of Egypt^H4714 into the hand^H3027 of his enemies^H341, and into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 his life^H5315; as I gave^H5414 Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894, his enemy^H341, and that sought^H1245 his life^H5315.
