Ieremias 32-34
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
32 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, in anno decimo Sedeciae regis Juda, ipse est annus decimusoctavus Nabuchodonosor.
2 Tunc exercitus regis Babylonis obsidebat Jerusalem, et Jeremias propheta erat clausus in atrio carceris qui erat in domo regis Juda.
3 Clauserat enim eum Sedecias rex Juda, dicens: Quare vaticinaris, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo civitatem istam in manus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam:
4 et Sedecias rex Juda non effugiet de manu Chaldaeorum, sed tradetur in manus regis Babylonis: et loquetur os ejus cum ore illius, et oculi ejus oculos illius videbunt:
5 et in Babylonem ducet Sedeciam, et ibi erit donec visitem eum, ait Dominus: si autem dimicaveritis adversum Chaldaeos, nihil prosperum habebitis?
6 Et dixit Jeremias: Factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
7 Ecce Hanameel filius Sellum, patruelis tuus, veniet ad te, dicens: Eme tibi agrum meum qui est in Anathoth, tibi enim competit ex propinquitate ut emas.
8 Et venit ad me Hanameel filius patrui mei, secundum verbum Domini, ad vestibulum carceris, et ait ad me: Posside agrum meum qui est in Anathoth, in terra Benjamin, quia tibi competit haereditas, et tu propinquus es ut possideas. Intellexi autem quod verbum Domini esset:
9 et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est in Anathoth, et appendi ei argentum: septem stateres, et decem argenteos.
10 Et scripsi in libro, et signavi, et adhibui testes, et appendi argentum in statera.
11 Et accepi librum possessionis signatum, et stipulationes, et rata, et signa forinsecus:
12 et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri filii Maasiae, in oculis Hanameel patruelis mei, in oculis testium qui scripti erant in libro emptionis, et in oculis omnium Judaeorum qui sedebant in atrio carceris.
13 Et praecepi Baruch coram eis, dicens:
14 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Sume libros istos, librum emptionis hunc signatum, et librum hunc qui apertus est, et pone illos in vase fictili, ut permanere possint diebus multis:
15 haec enim dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Adhuc possidebuntur domus, et agri, et vineae in terra ista.
16 Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri, dicens:
17 Heu! heu! heu! Domine Deus, ecce tu fecisti caelum et terram in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento: non erit tibi difficile omne verbum:
18 qui facis misericordiam in millibus, et reddis iniquitatem patrum in sinum filiorum eorum post eos: fortissime, magne, et potens, Dominus exercituum nomen tibi.
19 Magnus consilio, et incomprehensibilis cogitatu: cujus oculi aperti sunt super omnes vias filiorum Adam, ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas, et secundum fructum adinventionum ejus.
20 Qui posuisti signa et portenta in terra AEgypti usque ad diem hanc, et in Israel, et in hominibus, et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies haec.
21 Et eduxisti populum tuum Israel de terra AEgypti, in signis et in portentis, et in manu robusta et in brachio extento, et in terrore magno:
22 et dedisti eis terram hanc, quam jurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis, terram fluentem lacte et melle.
23 Et ingressi sunt, et possederunt eam, et non obedierunt voci tuae, et in lege tua non ambulaverunt: omnia quae mandasti eis ut facerent non fecerunt, et evenerunt eis omnia mala haec.
24 Ecce munitiones exstructae sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur, et urbs data est in manus Chaldaeorum qui praeliantur adversus eam, a facie gladii, et famis, et pestilentiae: et quaecumque locutus es, acciderunt, ut tu ipse cernis.
25 Et tu dicis mihi, Domine Deus: Eme agrum argento, et adhibe testes, cum urbs data sit in manus Chaldaeorum?
26 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
27 Ecce ego Dominus Deus universae carnis: numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum?
28 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldaeorum, et in manus regis Babylonis, et capient eam.
29 Et venient Chaldaei praeliantes adversum urbem hanc, et succendent eam igni, et comburent eam, et domos in quarum domatibus sacrificabant Baal, et libabant diis alienis libamina ad irritandum me.
30 Erant enim filii Israel et filii Juda jugiter facientes malum in oculis meis ab adolescentia sua: filii Israel, qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuum suarum, dicit Dominus.
31 Quia in furore et in indignatione mea facta est mihi civitas haec, a die qua aedificaverunt eam usque ad diem istam qua auferetur de conspectu meo,
32 propter malitiam filiorum Israel et filiorum Juda, quam fecerunt ad iracundiam me provocantes, ipsi et reges eorum, principes eorum, et sacerdotes eorum, et prophetae eorum, viri Juda et habitatores Jerusalem.
33 Et verterunt ad me terga, et non facies, cum docerem eos diluculo et erudirem, et nollent audire, ut acciperent disciplinam.
34 Et posuerunt idola sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam.
35 Et aedificaverunt excelsa Baal quae sunt in valle filii Ennom, ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch, quod non mandavi eis, nec ascendit in cor meum ut facerent abominationem hanc: et in peccatum deducerent Judam.
36 Et nunc propter ista, haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad civitatem hanc, de qua vos dicitis quod tradetur in manus regis Babylonis, in gladio, et in fame, et in peste:
37 Ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris ad quas ejeci eos in furore meo, et in ira mea, et in indignatione grandi: et reducam eos ad locum istum, et habitare eos faciam confidenter:
38 et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eis in Deum.
39 Et dabo eis cor unum, et viam unam, ut timeant me universis diebus, et bene sit eis, et filiis eorum post eos.
40 Et feriam eis pactum sempiternum, et non desinam eis benefacere: et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum, ut non recedant a me.
41 Et laetabor super eis, cum bene eis fecero: et plantabo eos in terra ista in veritate, in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea.
42 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande, sic adducam super eos omne bonum quod ego loquor ad eos.
43 Et possidebuntur agri in terra ista, de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit, eo quod non remanserit homo et jumentum, et data sit in manus Chaldaeorum.
44 Agri ementur pecunia, et scribentur in libro, et imprimetur signum, et testis adhibebitur, in terra Benjamin et in circuitu Jerusalem, in civitatibus Juda, et in civitatibus montanis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quae ad austrum sunt, quia convertam captivitatem eorum, ait Dominus.
33 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
2 Haec dicit Dominus, qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus: Dominus nomen ejus:
3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te, et annuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quae nescis.
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad domos urbis hujus, et ad domos regis Juda, quae destructae sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium
5 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldaeis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac, propter omnem malitiam eorum:
6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos, et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
7 Et convertam conversionem Juda et conversionem Jerusalem, et aedificabo eos sicut a principio.
8 Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua in qua peccaverunt mihi, et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me.
9 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exsultationem cunctis gentibus terrae, quae audierint omnia bona quae ego facturus sum eis: et pavebunt et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace quam ego faciam eis.
10 Haec dicit Dominus: Adhuc audietur in loco isto quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec jumentum in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, quae desolatae sunt, absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore,
11 vox gaudii et vox laetitiae, vox sponsi et vox sponsae, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia ejus: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terrae sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.
12 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto, absque homine et absque jumento, et in cunctis civitatibus ejus, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.
13 In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quae ad austrum sunt, et in terra Benjamin, et in circuitu Jerusalem, et in civitatibus Juda, adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.
14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Juda.
15 In diebus illis et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen justitiae, et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra:
16 in diebus illis salvabitur Juda, et Jerusalem habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum: Dominus justus noster.
17 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel:
18 et de sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et caedat victimas omnibus diebus.
19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
20 Haec dicit Dominus: Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo,
21 et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno ejus, et Levitae et sacerdotes ministri mei.
22 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellae caeli, et metiri arena maris, sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
24 Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens: Duae cognationes quas elegerat Dominus abjectae sunt? et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis.
25 Haec dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges caelo et terrae non posui,
26 equidem et semen Jacob et David servi mei projiciam, ut non assumam de semine ejus principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.
34 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino quando Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus ejus, universaque regna terrae quae erant sub potestate manus ejus, et omnes populi, bellabant contra Jerusalem, et contra omnes urbes ejus, dicens:
2 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Vade, et loquere ad Sedeciam regem Juda, et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem hanc in manus regis Babylonis, et succendet eam igni:
3 et tu non effugies de manu ejus, sed comprehensione capieris, et in manu ejus traderis: et oculi tui oculos regis Babylonis videbunt, et os ejus cum ore tuo loquetur, et Babylonem introibis.
4 Attamen audi verbum Domini, Sedecia, rex Juda: Haec dicit Dominus ad te: Non morieris in gladio,
5 sed in pace morieris: et secundum combustiones patrum tuorum, regum priorum qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburent te: et: Vae domine, plangent te: quia verbum ego locutus sum, dicit Dominus.
6 Et locutus est Jeremias propheta ad Sedeciam regem Juda universa verba haec in Jerusalem.
7 Et exercitus regis Babylonis pugnabat contra Jerusalem, et contra omnes civitates Juda quae reliquae erant, contra Lachis et contra Azecha: hae enim supererant de civitatibus Juda, urbes munitae.
8 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedecias foedus cum omni populo in Jerusalem, praedicans
9 ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebraeum et Hebraeam, liberos, et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est, in Judaeo et fratre suo.
10 Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus qui inierant pactum ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos, et ultra non dominarentur eis: audierunt igitur, et dimiserunt.
11 Et conversi sunt deinceps: et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas quos dimiserant liberos, et subjugaverunt in famulos et famulas.
12 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens:
13 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ego percussi foedus cum patribus vestris in die qua eduxi eos de terra AEgypti, de domo servitutis, dicens:
14 Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisque fratrem suum Hebraeum, qui venditus est ei: et serviet tibi sex annis, et dimittes eum a te liberum: et non audierunt patres vestri me, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam.
15 Et conversi estis vos hodie, et fecistis quod rectum est in oculis meis, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad amicum suum: et inistis pactum in conspectu meo, in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum super eam:
16 et reversi estis, et commaculastis nomen meum, et reduxistis unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam quos dimiseratis ut essent liberi et suae potestatis, et subjugastis eos ut sint vobis servi et ancillae.
17 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Vos non audistis me, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque fratri suo et unusquisque amico suo: ecce ego praedico vobis libertatem, ait Dominus, ad gladium, ad pestem, et ad famem, et dabo vos in commotionem cunctis regnis terrae.
18 Et dabo viros qui praevaricantur foedus meum, et non observaverunt verba foederis quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo, vitulum quem conciderunt in duas partes, et transierunt inter divisiones ejus,
19 principes Juda et principes Jerusalem, eunuchi et sacerdotes, et omnis populus terrae, qui transierunt inter divisiones vituli:
20 et dabo eos in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quaerentium animam eorum, et erit morticinum eorum in escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae.
21 Et Sedeciam regem Juda, et principes ejus, dabo in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quaerentium animas eorum, et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.
22 Ecce ego praecipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc, et praeliabuntur adversus eam, et capient eam, et incendent igni: et civitates Juda dabo in solitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator.

Jeremiah Buys a Field
32 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth(A) year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth(B) year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 The army of the king of Babylon was then besieging(C) Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was confined(D) in the courtyard of the guard(E) in the royal palace of Judah.
3 Now Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him there, saying, “Why do you prophesy(F) as you do? You say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will capture(G) it. 4 Zedekiah(H) king of Judah will not escape(I) the Babylonians[a](J) but will certainly be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him with his own eyes. 5 He will take(K) Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will remain until I deal with him,(L) declares the Lord. If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not succeed.’”(M)
6 Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: 7 Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth,(N) because as nearest relative it is your right and duty(O) to buy it.’
8 “Then, just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said, ‘Buy my field(P) at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. Since it is your right to redeem it and possess it, buy it for yourself.’
“I knew that this was the word of the Lord; 9 so I bought the field(Q) at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels[b] of silver.(R) 10 I signed and sealed the deed,(S) had it witnessed,(T) and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy— 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch(U) son of Neriah,(V) the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and of all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13 “In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: 14 ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed(W) and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. 15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’(X)
16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch(Y) son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord,(Z) you have made the heavens and the earth(AA) by your great power and outstretched arm.(AB) Nothing is too hard(AC) for you. 18 You show love(AD) to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps(AE) of their children(AF) after them. Great and mighty God,(AG) whose name is the Lord Almighty,(AH) 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.(AI) Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;(AJ) you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.(AK) 20 You performed signs and wonders(AL) in Egypt(AM) and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown(AN) that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand(AO) and an outstretched arm(AP) and with great terror.(AQ) 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(AR) 23 They came in and took possession(AS) of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law;(AT) they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster(AU) on them.
24 “See how the siege ramps(AV) are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague,(AW) the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said(AX) has happened,(AY) as you now see. 25 And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field(AZ) with silver and have the transaction witnessed.(BA)’”
26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 27 “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.(BB) Is anything too hard for me?(BC) 28 Therefore this is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar(BD) king of Babylon, who will capture it.(BE) 29 The Babylonians who are attacking this city will come in and set it on fire; they will burn it down,(BF) along with the houses(BG) where the people aroused my anger by burning incense on the roofs to Baal and by pouring out drink offerings(BH) to other gods.(BI)
30 “The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth;(BJ) indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but arouse my anger(BK) with what their hands have made,(BL) declares the Lord. 31 From the day it was built until now, this city(BM) has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove(BN) it from my sight. 32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked(BO) me by all the evil(BP) they have done—they, their kings and officials,(BQ) their priests and prophets, the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs(BR) to me and not their faces; though I taught(BS) them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.(BT) 34 They set up their vile images(BU) in the house that bears my Name(BV) and defiled(BW) it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom(BX) to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek,(BY) though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind(BZ)—that they should do such a detestable(CA) thing and so make Judah sin.(CB)
36 “You are saying about this city, ‘By the sword, famine and plague(CC) it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon’; but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 37 I will surely gather(CD) them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger(CE) and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.(CF) 38 They will be my people,(CG) and I will be their God. 39 I will give them singleness(CH) of heart and action, so that they will always fear(CI) me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. 40 I will make an everlasting covenant(CJ) with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire(CK) them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.(CL) 41 I will rejoice(CM) in doing them good(CN) and will assuredly plant(CO) them in this land with all my heart and soul.(CP)
42 “This is what the Lord says: As I have brought all this great calamity(CQ) on this people, so I will give them all the prosperity I have promised(CR) them. 43 Once more fields will be bought(CS) in this land of which you say, ‘It is a desolate(CT) waste, without people or animals, for it has been given into the hands of the Babylonians.’ 44 Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds(CU) will be signed, sealed and witnessed(CV) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(CW) because I will restore(CX) their fortunes,[c] declares the Lord.”
Promise of Restoration
33 While Jeremiah was still confined(CY) in the courtyard(CZ) of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time:(DA) 2 “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth,(DB) the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name:(DC) 3 ‘Call(DD) to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable(DE) things you do not know.’ 4 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege(DF) ramps(DG) and the sword 5 in the fight with the Babylonians[d]: ‘They will be filled with the dead bodies of the people I will slay in my anger and wrath.(DH) I will hide my face(DI) from this city because of all its wickedness.
6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal(DJ) my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace(DK) and security. 7 I will bring Judah(DL) and Israel back from captivity[e](DM) and will rebuild(DN) them as they were before.(DO) 8 I will cleanse(DP) them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive(DQ) all their sins of rebellion against me. 9 Then this city will bring me renown,(DR) joy, praise(DS) and honor(DT) before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble(DU) at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’
10 “This is what the Lord says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.”(DV) Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted,(DW) inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness,(DX) the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings(DY) to the house of the Lord, saying,
For I will restore the fortunes(EB) of the land as they were before,(EC)’ says the Lord.
12 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate(ED) and without people or animals(EE)—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.(EF) 13 In the towns of the hill(EG) country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,(EH) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand(EI) of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.
14 “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise(EJ) I made to the people of Israel and Judah.
15 “‘In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous(EK) Branch(EL) sprout from David’s line;(EM)
he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved(EN)
and Jerusalem will live in safety.(EO)
This is the name by which it[f] will be called:(EP)
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’(EQ)
17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail(ER) to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical(ES) priests(ET) ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.(EU)’”
19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the Lord says: ‘If you can break my covenant with the day(EV) and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time,(EW) 21 then my covenant(EX) with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites(EY) who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.(EZ) 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless(FA) as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”
23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms[g](FB) he chose’? So they despise(FC) my people and no longer regard them as a nation.(FD) 25 This is what the Lord says: ‘If I have not made my covenant with day and night(FE) and established the laws(FF) of heaven and earth,(FG) 26 then I will reject(FH) the descendants of Jacob(FI) and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes[h](FJ) and have compassion(FK) on them.’”
Warning to Zedekiah
34 While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples(FL) in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem(FM) and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah(FN) king of Judah and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.(FO) 3 You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and given into his hands.(FP) You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.
4 “‘Yet hear the Lord’s promise to you, Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the Lord says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;(FQ) 5 you will die peacefully. As people made a funeral fire(FR) in honor of your predecessors, the kings who ruled before you, so they will make a fire in your honor and lament, “Alas,(FS) master!” I myself make this promise, declares the Lord.’”
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet told all this to Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem, 7 while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah that were still holding out—Lachish(FT) and Azekah.(FU) These were the only fortified cities left in Judah.
Freedom for Slaves
8 The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people(FV) in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom(FW) for the slaves. 9 Everyone was to free their Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Hebrew in bondage.(FX) 10 So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free. 11 But afterward they changed their minds(FY) and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your ancestors(FZ) when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(GA) I said, 14 ‘Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you. After they have served you six years, you must let them go free.’[i](GB) Your ancestors, however, did not listen to me or pay attention(GC) to me. 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to your own people.(GD) You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name.(GE) 16 But now you have turned around(GF) and profaned(GG) my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again.
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom to your own people. So I now proclaim ‘freedom’ for you,(GH) declares the Lord—‘freedom’ to fall by the sword, plague(GI) and famine.(GJ) I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.(GK) 18 Those who have violated my covenant(GL) and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces.(GM) 19 The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials,(GN) the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, 20 I will deliver(GO) into the hands of their enemies who want to kill them.(GP) Their dead bodies will become food for the birds and the wild animals.(GQ)
21 “I will deliver Zedekiah(GR) king of Judah and his officials(GS) into the hands of their enemies(GT) who want to kill them, to the army of the king of Babylon,(GU) which has withdrawn(GV) from you. 22 I am going to give the order, declares the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, take(GW) it and burn(GX) it down. And I will lay waste(GY) the towns of Judah so no one can live there.”
