A Message to Zedekiah

34This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord while Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his authority, along with all the people were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns:H1697H3414H3068H5019H4428H894H2428H4467H776H3027H4475H5971H3898H3389H5892H559
2This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah. Say to him, "This is what the Lord says: 'Look, I'm giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will set it on fire.H559H3068H430H3478H1980H559H6667H4428H3063H559H559H3068H5414H5892H3027H4428H894H8313H784
3You won't escape from him. You will certainly be captured and given into his control. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, he will speak to you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.'"'H4422H3027H8610H8610H5414H3027H5869H7200H5869H4428H894H1696H6310H6310H935H894
4Yet, hear the word of the Lord, Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the Lord says to you, 'You won't die by the sword.H8085H1697H3068H6667H4428H3063H559H3068H4191H2719
5You will die peacefully, and as they burned fires for your ancestors, the former kings who were before you, so they'll burn fires for you, wailing, "Oh how terrible, your majesty!"' For I've spoken the word," declares the Lord.4H4191H7965H4955H1H7223H4428H6440H8313H5594H1945H113H1696H1697H5002H3068
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all of this in Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah,H3414H5030H1696H1697H6667H4428H3063H3389
7while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah that were left, namely Lachish and Azekah. (They were the only fortified cities that remained among the cities of Judah.)H4428H894H2428H3898H3389H5892H3063H3498H3923H5825H4013H5892H7604H5892H3063

A Broken Agreement with Hebrew Servants

8This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem proclaiming release for them.H1697H3414H3068H310H4428H6667H3772H1285H5971H3389H7121H1865
9Each person was to set free his male and female slaves who were Hebrews, so that no Jewish person would enslave his brother.H376H5650H376H8198H5680H5680H7971H2670H5647H3064H251
10All the officials and all the people who had entered into the covenant agreed that each would set his male and female slaves free so that they would not enslave them any longer. They obeyed and they released them.H8269H5971H935H1285H8085H376H5650H376H8198H7971H2670H5647H8085H7971
11But afterward they turned around and took back the male and female slaves that they had set free, and they forced them to become male and female slaves.H310H7725H5650H8198H7971H2670H7725H3533H3533H5650H8198
12Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord:H1697H3068H3414H3068H559
13"This is what the Lord God of Israel says: 'I made a covenant with your ancestors on the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. I told them:H559H3068H430H3478H3772H1285H1H3117H3318H776H4714H1004H5650H559
14"At the end of seven years, each of you is to set free your fellow Hebrew who has sold himself to you and has served you for six years. You are to send him out from you with no further obligation." But your ancestors didn't obey me or pay attention.H7093H7651H8141H7971H376H251H5680H4376H5647H8337H8141H7971H2670H1H8085H5186H241
15You recently repented and did what was right in my eyes by proclaiming release for one another, and you made a covenant before me in the house that is called by my name.H3117H7725H6213H3477H5869H7121H1865H376H7453H3772H1285H6440H1004H7121H8034
16But then you turned around and profaned my name when each of you took back his male and female slaves whom you had set free according to their desire, and you forced them to become male and female slaves."'H7725H2490H8034H376H5650H376H8198H7971H2670H5315H7725H3533H5650H8198
17"Therefore, this is what the Lord says: 'You haven't obeyed me by each of you proclaiming a release for your brothers and neighbors. Now I'm going to proclaim a release for you,' declares the Lord, 'a release to the sword, to plague, and to famine, and I'll make you a horrifying sight to all the kingdoms of the earth.H559H3068H8085H7121H1865H376H251H376H7453H7121H1865H5002H3068H2719H1698H7458H5414H2189H2113H4467H776
18I'll give over the men who transgressed my covenant, who haven't fulfilled the terms of the covenant that they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts -H5414H582H5674H1285H6965H1697H1285H3772H6440H3772H5695H8147H5674H1335
19the officials of Judah, the officials of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf.H8269H3063H8269H3389H5631H3548H5971H776H5674H1335H5695
20I'll give them to their enemies who are seeking to kill them, and their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and the animals of the land.H5414H3027H341H3027H1245H5315H5038H3978H5775H8064H929H776
21I'll give Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his officials into the domination of their enemies, to those who are seeking to kill them, and to the army of the king of Babylon that is coming against them.H6667H4428H3063H8269H5414H3027H341H3027H1245H5315H3027H4428H894H2428H5927
22Look, I'm in command of them, declares the Lord, and I'll bring them back to this city. They'll capture it and burn it with fire, and I'll turn the towns of Judah into desolate places without inhabitants.'"H6680H5002H3068H7725H5892H3898H3920H8313H784H5414H5892H3063H8077H3427
