King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now these[H428] are the words[H1697] of the letter[H5612] that[H834] Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030] sent[H7971] from Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] unto[H413] the residue[H3499] of the elders[H2205] which were carried away captives,[H1473] and to[H413] the priests,[H3548] and to[H413] the prophets,[H5030] and to[H413] all[H3605] the people[H5971] whom[H834] Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] had carried away captive[H1540] from Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] to Babylon;[H894]

2. (After that[H310] Jeconiah[H3204] the king,[H4428] and the queen,[H1377] and the eunuchs,[H5631] the princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063] and Jerusalem,[H3389] and the carpenters,[H2796] and the smiths,[H4525] were departed[H3318] from Jerusalem;)[H4480] [H3389]

3. By the hand[H3027] of Elasah[H501] the son[H1121] of Shaphan,[H8227] and Gemariah[H1587] the son[H1121] of Hilkiah,[H2518] (whom[H834] Zedekiah[H6667] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] sent[H7971] unto Babylon[H894] to[H413] Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon)[H894] saying,[H559]

4. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] unto all[H3605] that are carried away captives,[H1473] whom[H834] I have caused to be carried away[H1540] from Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] unto Babylon;[H894]

5. Build[H1129] ye houses,[H1004] and dwell[H3427] in them; and plant[H5193] gardens,[H1593] and eat[H398] [H853] the fruit[H6529] of them;

6. Take[H3947] ye wives,[H802] and beget[H3205] sons[H1121] and daughters;[H1323] and take[H3947] wives[H802] for your sons,[H1121] and give[H5414] your daughters[H1323] to husbands,[H376] that they may bear[H3205] sons[H1121] and daughters;[H1323] that ye may be increased[H7235] there,[H8033] and not[H408] diminished.[H4591]

7. And seek[H1875] [H853] the peace[H7965] of the city[H5892] whither[H834] [H8033] I have caused you to be carried away captives,[H1540] and pray[H6419] unto[H413] the LORD[H3068] for[H1157] it: for[H3588] in the peace[H7965] thereof shall ye have[H1961] peace.[H7965]

8. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel;[H3478] Let not[H408] your prophets[H5030] and your diviners,[H7080] that[H834] be in the midst[H7130] of you, deceive[H5377] you, neither[H408] hearken[H8085] to[H413] your dreams[H2472] which[H834] ye[H859] cause to be dreamed.[H2492]

9. For[H3588] they[H1992] prophesy[H5012] falsely[H8267] unto you in my name:[H8034] I have not[H3808] sent[H7971] them, saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

10. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] That[H3588] after[H6310] seventy[H7657] years[H8141] be accomplished[H4390] at Babylon[H894] I will visit[H6485] you, and perform[H6965] [H853] my good[H2896] word[H1697] toward[H5921] you, in causing you to return[H7725] [H853] to[H413] this[H2088] place.[H4725]

11. For[H3588] I[H595] know[H3045] [H853] the thoughts[H4284] that[H834] I[H595] think[H2803] toward[H5921] you, saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] thoughts[H4284] of peace,[H7965] and not[H3808] of evil,[H7451] to give[H5414] you an expected[H8615] end.[H319]

12. Then shall ye call upon[H7121] me, and ye shall go[H1980] and pray[H6419] unto[H413] me, and I will hearken[H8085] unto[H413] you.

13. And ye shall seek[H1245] me, and find[H4672] me, when[H3588] ye shall search for[H1875] me with all[H3605] your heart.[H3824]

14. And I will be found[H4672] of you, saith[H5002] the LORD:[H3068] and I will turn away[H7725] [H853] your captivity,[H7622] and I will gather[H6908] you from all[H4480] [H3605] the nations,[H1471] and from all[H4480] [H3605] the places[H4725] whither[H834] [H8033] I have driven[H5080] you, saith[H5002] the LORD;[H3068] and I will bring you again[H7725] [H853] into[H413] the place[H4725] whence[H834] [H4480] [H8033] I caused you to be carried away captive.[H1540]

15. Because[H3588] ye have said,[H559] The LORD[H3068] hath raised us up[H6965] prophets[H5030] in Babylon;[H894]

16. Know that[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of[H413] the king[H4428] that sitteth[H3427] upon[H413] the throne[H3678] of David,[H1732] and of[H413] all[H3605] the people[H5971] that dwelleth[H3427] in this[H2063] city,[H5892] and of your brethren[H251] that[H834] are not[H3808] gone forth[H3318] with[H854] you into captivity;[H1473]

17. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts;[H6635] Behold,[H2009] I will send[H7971] upon them[H853] the sword,[H2719] [H853] the famine,[H7458] and the pestilence,[H1698] and will make[H5414] them like vile[H8182] figs,[H8384] that[H834] cannot[H3808] be eaten,[H398] they are so evil.[H4480] [H7455]

18. And I will persecute[H7291] [H310] them with the sword,[H2719] with the famine,[H7458] and with the pestilence,[H1698] and will deliver[H5414] them to be removed[H2189] to all[H3605] the kingdoms[H4467] of the earth,[H776] to be a curse,[H423] and an astonishment,[H8047] and a hissing,[H8322] and a reproach,[H2781] among all[H3605] the nations[H1471] whither[H834] [H8033] I have driven[H5080] them:

19. Because[H8478] [H834] they have not[H3808] hearkened[H8085] to[H413] my words,[H1697] saith[H5002] the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] I sent[H7971] unto[H413] them by[H853] my servants[H5650] the prophets,[H5030] rising up early[H7925] and sending[H7971] them; but ye would not[H3808] hear,[H8085] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

20. Hear[H8085] ye[H859] therefore the word[H1697] of the LORD,[H3068] all[H3605] ye of the captivity,[H1473] whom[H834] I have sent[H7971] from Jerusalem[H4480] [H3389] to Babylon: [H894]

21. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] of[H413] Ahab[H256] the son[H1121] of Kolaiah,[H6964] and of[H413] Zedekiah[H6667] the son[H1121] of Maaseiah,[H4641] which prophesy[H5012] a lie[H8267] unto you in my name;[H8034] Behold,[H2009] I will deliver[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of Nebuchadnezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon;[H894] and he shall slay[H5221] them before your eyes;[H5869]

22. And of[H4480] them shall be taken up[H3947] a curse[H7045] by all[H3605] the captivity[H1546] of Judah[H3063] which[H834] are in Babylon,[H894] saying,[H559] The LORD[H3068] make[H7760] thee like Zedekiah[H6667] and like Ahab,[H256] whom[H834] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] roasted[H7033] in the fire;[H784]

23. Because[H3282] [H834] they have committed[H6213] villainy[H5039] in Israel,[H3478] and have committed adultery[H5003] with[H854] their neighbors'[H7453] wives,[H802] and have spoken[H1696] lying[H8267] words[H1697] in my name,[H8034] which[H834] I have not[H3808] commanded[H6680] them; even I[H595] know,[H3045] and am a witness,[H5707] saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

24. Thus shalt thou also speak[H559] to[H413] Shemaiah[H8098] the Nehelamite,[H5161] saying,[H559]

25. Thus[H3541] speaketh[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts,[H6635] the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] saying,[H559] Because[H3282] [H834] thou[H859] hast sent[H7971] letters[H5612] in thy name[H8034] unto[H413] all[H3605] the people[H5971] that[H834] are at Jerusalem,[H3389] and to[H413] Zephaniah[H6846] the son[H1121] of Maaseiah[H4641] the priest,[H3548] and to[H413] all[H3605] the priests,[H3548] saying,[H559]

26. The LORD[H3068] hath made[H5414] thee priest[H3548] in the stead of[H8478] Jehoiada[H3077] the priest,[H3548] that ye should be[H1961] officers[H6496] in the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] for every[H3605] man[H376] that is mad,[H7696] and maketh himself a prophet,[H5012] that thou shouldest put[H5414] him in[H413] prison,[H4115] and in[H413] the stocks.[H6729]

27. Now[H6258] therefore why[H4100] hast thou not[H3808] reproved[H1605] Jeremiah[H3414] of Anathoth,[H6069] which maketh himself a prophet[H5012] to you?

28. For[H3588] therefore[H5921] [H3651] he sent[H7971] unto[H413] us in Babylon,[H894] saying,[H559] This[H1931] captivity is long:[H752] build[H1129] ye houses,[H1004] and dwell[H3427] in them; and plant[H5193] gardens,[H1593] and eat[H398] [H853] the fruit[H6529] of them.

29. And Zephaniah[H6846] the priest[H3548] read[H7121] [H853] this[H2088] letter[H5612] in the ears[H241] of Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet.[H5030]

30. Then came[H1961] the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] unto[H413] Jeremiah,[H3414] saying,[H559]

31. Send[H7971] to[H5921] all[H3605] them of the captivity,[H1473] saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] concerning[H413] Shemaiah[H8098] the Nehelamite;[H5161] Because[H3283] [H834] that Shemaiah[H8098] hath prophesied[H5012] unto you, and I[H589] sent[H7971] him not,[H3808] and he caused you to trust[H982] [H853] in[H5921] a lie: [H8267]

32. Therefore[H3651] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD;[H3068] Behold,[H2009] I will punish[H6485] [H5921] Shemaiah[H8098] the Nehelamite,[H5161] and his seed:[H2233] he shall not[H3808] have[H1961] a man[H376] to dwell[H3427] among[H8432] this[H2088] people;[H5971] neither[H3808] shall he behold[H7200] the good[H2896] that[H834] I[H589] will do[H6213] for my people,[H5971] saith[H5002] the LORD;[H3068] because[H3588] he hath taught[H1696] rebellion[H5627] against[H5921] the LORD.[H3068]
