1 Then all the captains 8269 of the forces 2428, and Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143, and Jezaniah 3153 the son 1121 of Hoshaiah 1955, and all the people 5971 from the least 6996 even unto the greatest 1419, came near 5066,
2 And said 559 unto Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication 8467 be accepted 5307 before 6440 thee, and pray 6419 for us unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430, even for all this remnant 7611; (for we are left 7604 but a few 4592 of many 7235, as thine eyes 5869 do behold 7200 us:)
3 That the LORD 3068 thy God 430 may shew 5046 us the way 1870 wherein we may walk 3212, and the thing 1697 that we may do 6213.
4 Then Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 said 559 unto them, I have heard 8085 you; behold, I will pray 6419 unto the LORD 3068 your God 430 according to your words 1697; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing 1697 the LORD 3068 shall answer 6030 you, I will declare 5046 it unto you; I will keep 4513 0 nothing 1697 back 4513 from you.
5 Then they said 559 to Jeremiah 3414, The LORD 3068 be a true 571 and faithful 539 witness 5707 between us, if we do 6213 not even according to all things 1697 for the which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall send 7971 thee to us.
6 Whether it be good 2896, or whether it be evil 7451, we will obey 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, to whom we 580 send 7971 thee; that it may be well 3190 with us, when we obey 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430.
7 And it came to pass after 7093 ten 6235 days 3117, that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Jeremiah 3414.
8 Then called 7121 he Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143, and all the captains 8269 of the forces 2428 which were with him, and all the people 5971 from the least 6996 even to the greatest 1419,
9 And said 559 unto them, Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, unto whom ye sent 7971 me to present 5307 your supplication 8467 before 6440 him;
10 If ye will still 7725 abide 3427 in this land 776, then will I build 1129 you, and not pull you down 2040, and I will plant 5193 you, and not pluck you up 5428: for I repent 5162 me of the evil 7451 that I have done 6213 unto you.
11 Be not afraid 3372 of 6440 the king 4428 of Babylon 894, of whom 6440 ye are afraid 3373; be not afraid 3372 of him, saith 5002 the LORD 3068: for I am with you to save 3467 you, and to deliver 5337 you from his hand 3027.
12 And I will shew 5414 mercies 7356 unto you, that he may have mercy 7355 upon you, and cause you to return 7725 to your own land 127.
13 But if ye say 559, We will not dwell 3427 in this land 776, neither obey 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430,
14 Saying 559, No; but we will go 935 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714, where we shall see 7200 no war 4421, nor hear 8085 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, nor have hunger 7456 of bread 3899; and there will we dwell 3427:
15 And now therefore hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, ye remnant 7611 of Judah 3063; Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; If ye wholly 7760 set 7760 your faces 6440 to enter 935 into Egypt 4714, and go 935 to sojourn 1481 there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword 2719, which ye feared 3373, shall overtake 5381 you there in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the famine 7458, whereof ye were afraid 1672, shall follow close 1692 after 310 you there in Egypt 4714; and there ye shall die 4191.
17 So shall it be with all the men 582 that set 7760 their faces 6440 to go 935 into Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 there; they shall die 4191 by the sword 2719, by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698: and none of them shall remain 8300 or escape 6412 from 6440 the evil 7451 that I will bring 935 upon them.
18 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; As mine anger 639 and my fury 2534 hath been poured forth 5413 upon the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389; so shall my fury 2534 be poured forth 5413 upon you, when ye shall enter 935 into Egypt 4714: and ye shall be an execration 423, and an astonishment 8047, and a curse 7045, and a reproach 2781; and ye shall see 7200 this place 4725 no more.
19 The LORD 3068 hath said 1696 concerning you, O ye remnant 7611 of Judah 3063; Go 935 ye not into Egypt 4714: know 3045 certainly 3045 that I have admonished 5749 you this day 3117.
20 For ye dissembled 8582 in your hearts 5315, when ye sent 7971 me unto the LORD 3068 your God 430, saying 559, Pray 6419 for us unto the LORD 3068 our God 430; and according unto all that the LORD 3068 our God 430 shall say 559, so declare 5046 unto us, and we will do 6213 it.
21 And now I have this day 3117 declared 5046 it to you; but ye have not obeyed 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, nor any thing for the which he hath sent 7971 me unto you.
22 Now therefore know 3045 certainly 3045 that ye shall die 4191 by the sword 2719, by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698, in the place 4725 whither ye desire 2654 to go 935 and to sojourn 1481.
