ThomsonAGAIN a word of the Lord came to Jeremias a second time, while he was still a prisoner in the court of the prison, saying,

BrentonIn the beginning of the Reign of King Joakim Son of Josias there came this Word from the Lord.

GreekἘΝ ἈΡΧΗ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ἸΩΑΚΕΙΜ ΥΙΟΥ ἸΩΣΙΑ, ἘΓΕΝΗΘΗ Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ΟΥΤΟΣ ΠΑΡΑ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ·

ThomsonThus saith the Lord, the maker of the earth, who formed it that He might regulate it. His name is the Lord.

BrentonThus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and thou shalt declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded thee to speak to them; abate not one word.

GreekΟὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, στῆθι ἐν αὐλῇ οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ χρηματιεῖς ἅπασι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρχομένοις προσκυνεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς συνέταξά σοι χρηματίσαι αὐτοῖς, μὴ ἀφέλῃς ῥῆμα.

ThomsonCry to Me and I will answer thee and shew thee great and marvellous things which thou hast not known.

BrentonPeradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.

GreekἼσως ἀκούσονται, καὶ ἀποστραφήσονται ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς, καὶ παύσομαι ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ἐγὼ λογίζομαι τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς ἕνεκεν τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν.

ThomsonFor thus said the Lord concerning the houses of this city. And concerning the houses of the king of Juda which have been pulled down to make mounts and

BrentonAnd thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,

GreekΚαὶ ἐρεῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσητέ μου, τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις μου οἷς ἔδωκα κατὰ πρόσωπον ὑμῶν,

Thomsonramparts to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill the city with the carcasses of men whom I have slain in Mine indignation and in My wrath; and from whom I have turned away My face for all their wicked deeds:

Brentonto hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yea, I sent them, but ye hearkened not to me;

Greekεἰσακούειν τῶν λόγων τῶν παίδων μου τῶν προφητῶν, οὓς ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὄρθρου, καὶ ἀπέστειλα, καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου,

ThomsonBehold, I am raising up for it [i.e. the city] a cure for wounds and a restorative which I will shew them, and I will heal it and give it peace and fidelity.

Brentonthen will I make this house as Selo, and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.

Greekκαὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὥσπερ Σηλὼ, καὶ τὴν πόλιν δώσω εἰς κατάραν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι πάσης τῆς γῆς.

ThomsonAnd I will bring back the captivity of Juda and the captivity of Israel; and I will build them up as in former times.

BrentonAnd the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τοῦ Ἱερεμίου λαλοῦντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

ThomsonAnd I will cleanse them from all their iniquities which they have committed against Me, and no more remember the sins which they sinned against Me, when they apostatised from Me.

BrentonAnd it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,

GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο Ἱερεμίου παυσαμένου λαλοῦντος πάντα ἃ συνέταξε Κύριος αὐτῷ λαλῆσαι παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, καὶ συνελάβοσαν αὐτὸν οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, λέγων, θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ,

ThomsonAnd it shall be for a joy and praise and for a subject of exultation to all the people of the earth who shall hear all the good things which I will do. And they will be struck with awe and remorse for all the good and for all the peace which I will procure for them.

BrentonThou shalt surely die, because thou hast prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.

Greekὅτι ἐπροφήτευσας τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, λέγων, ὥσπερ Σηλὼ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος οὗτος, καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐρημωθήσεται ἀπὸ κατοικούντων· Καὶ ἐξεκκλησιάσθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ Ἱερεμίαν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

ThomsonThus said the Lord: In the place which you say is a desert without men and beasts—in the cities of Juda and in the streets of Jerusalem which have been desolate so as to have neither man nor beast,

BrentonAnd the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.

GreekΚαὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰούδα τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν προθύροις πύλης τῆς καινῆς.

Thomsonthere shall be heard again the sound of joy and the the voice of people, saying, Praise the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is gracious, for His mercy endureth forever. And they shall bring gifts to the house of the Lord. For I will bring back all the captivity of this land, as in former times, saith the Lord.

BrentonThen the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death is due to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, κρίσις θανάτου τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ, ὅτι ἐπροφήτευσε κατὰ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, καθὼς ἠκούσατε ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν.

ThomsonThus saith the Lord of Hosts: There shall be again, in this very place which shall be desolate, without man or beast, [and] in all the cities belonging to it, lodging places for shepherds folding flocks.

BrentonThen Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which ye have heard.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, λέγων, Κύριος ἀπέστειλέ με προφητεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἠκούσατε.

ThomsonIn the cities of the hilly country and in the cities of the plain, and in the cities of the south and in the land of Benjamin and in those around Jerusalem and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall again pass under the hand of him that counteth them, said the Lord.

BrentonAnd now amend your ways and your works, and hearken to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.

GreekΚαὶ νῦν βελτίους ποιήσατε τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ ἔργα ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, καὶ παύσεται Κύριος ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ἐλάλησεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.

GreekΚαὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν, ποιήσατέ μοι ὡς συμφέρει, καὶ ὡς βέλτιον ὑμῖν.

Thomson—

BrentonBut know for a certainty, that if ye slay me, ye bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.

GreekἈλλʼ ἢ γνόντες γνώσεσθε, ὅτι εἰ ἀναιρεῖτέ με, αἷμα ἀθῶον δίδοτε ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ· ὅτι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἀπέσταλκέ με Κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς λαλῆσαι εἰς τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

Thomson—

BrentonThen the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not due to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ψευδοπροφήτας, οὐκ ἔστι τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ κρίσις θανάτου, ὅτι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐλάλησε πρὸς ἡμᾶς.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,

GreekΚαὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπαν πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ τοῦ λαοῦ,

Thomson—

BrentonMichæas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus saith the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.

GreekΜιχαίας ὁ Μωραθίτης ἦν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἐζεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ εἶπε παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰούδα, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, Σιὼν ὡς ἀγρὸς ἀροτριαθήσεται, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς ἄβατον ἔσται, καὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦ οἴκου εἰς ἄλσος δρυμοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonDid Ezekias and all Juda in any way slay him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he had pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.

GreekΜὴ ἀνελὼν ἀνεῖλεν αὐτὸν Ἐζεκίας καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα; οὐχ ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ὅτι ἐδεήθησαν τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπαύσατο Κύριος ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ἐλάλησεν ἐπʼ αὐτούς; καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐποιήσαμεν κακὰ μεγάλα ἐπὶ ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd there was another man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samæas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.

GreekΚαὶ ἄνθρωπος ἦν προφητεύων τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, Οὐρίας υἱὸς Σαμαίου ἐκ Καριαθιαρὶμ, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσε περὶ τῆς γῆς ταύτης κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους Ἱερεμίου.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to slay him; and Urias heard it and went into Egypt.

GreekΚαὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωακεὶμ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτουν ἀποκτεῖναι αὐτόν· καὶ ἤκουσεν Οὐρίας, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd the king sent men into Egypt;

GreekΚαὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἄνδρας εἰς Αἴγυπτον,

Thomson—

Brentonand they brought him thence, and brought him in to the king; and he smote him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.

Greekκαὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ εἰσηγάγοσαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ, καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ μνῆμα υἱῶν λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonNevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.

GreekΠλὴν χεὶρ Ἀχεικὰμ υἱοῦ Σαφὰν ἦν μετὰ Ἱερεμίου, τοῦ μὴ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ λαοῦ, μὴ ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν.
