Jeremiah 29
King James Version Help
29Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;H1697H5612H3414H5030H7971H3389H3499H2205H1473H3548H5030H5971H5019H1540H3389H894
2(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)H310H3204H4428H1377H5631H8269H3063H3389H2796H4525H3318H3389
3By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,H3027H501H1121H8227H1587H1121H2518H6667H4428H3063H7971H894H5019H4428H894H559
4Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1473H1540H3389H894
5Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;H1129H1004H3427H5193H1593H398H6529
6Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.H3947H802H3205H1121H1323H3947H802H1121H5414H1323H582H3205H1121H1121H7235H4591
7And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.H1875H7965H5892H1540H6419H3068H7965H7965
8For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H5030H7080H7130H5377H8085H2472H2492
9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.H5012H8267H8034H7971H5002H3068
10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.H559H3068H6310H7657H8141H4390H894H6485H6965H2896H1697H7725H4725
11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.H3045H4284H2803H5002H3068H4284H7965H7451H5414H8615H319
12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.H7121H1980H6419H8085
13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.H1245H4672H1875H3824
14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.H4672H5002H3068H7725H7622H7622H6908H1471H4725H5080H5002H3068H7725H4725H1540
15Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;H559H3068H6965H5030H894
16Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;H559H3068H4428H3427H3678H1732H5971H3427H5892H251H3318H1473
17Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.H559H3068H6635H7971H2719H7458H1698H5414H8182H8384H398H7455
18And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:H7291H310H2719H7458H1698H5414H2189H2113H4467H776H423H8047H8322H2781H1471H5080
19Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.H8085H1697H5002H3068H7971H5650H5030H7925H7971H8085H5002H3068
20Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:H8085H1697H3068H1473H7971H3389H894
21Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;H559H3068H6635H430H3478H256H1121H6964H6667H1121H4641H5012H8267H8034H5414H3027H5019H4428H894H5221H5869
22And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;H3947H7045H1546H3063H894H559H3068H7760H6667H256H4428H894H7033H784
23Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.H6213H5039H3478H6213H5003H7453H802H1696H8267H1697H8034H6680H3045H5707H5002H3068
24Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,H559H8098H5161H559
25Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H7971H5612H8034H5971H3389H6846H1121H4641H3548H3548H559
26The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.H3068H5414H3548H3077H3548H6496H1004H3068H376H7696H5012H5414H4115H6729
27Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?H1605H3414H6069H5012
28For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.H7971H894H559H1931H752H1129H1004H3427H5193H1593H398H6529
29And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.H6846H3548H7121H5612H241H3414H5030
30Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,H1697H3068H3414H559
31Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:H7971H1473H559H559H3068H8098H5161H8098H5012H7971H982H8267
32Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.H559H3068H6485H8098H5161H2233H376H3427H8432H5971H7200H2896H6213H5971H5002H3068H1696H5627H3068
