Amplified Bible Help
42THEN ALL the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah [Azariah] son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest came nearH8269H2428H3110H1121H7143H3153H1121H1955H5971H6996H1419H5066 2And said to Jeremiah the prophet, We beseech you that you will let our supplication be presented before you and that you will pray to the Lord your God for us, even for all this remnant [of the people of Judah]; for whereas we were once many, there are but a few of us left, as you see with your [own] eyes.H559H3414H5030H8467H5307H6440H6419H3068H430H7611H7604H4592H7235H5869H7200 3[Pray] that the Lord your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do.H3068H430H5046H1870H3212H1697H6213 4Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words; and it will be that whatever thing the Lord will answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you.H3414H5030H559H8085H6419H3068H430H1697H1697H3068H6030H5046H4513H1697H4513 5Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we fail to do according to all the things that the Lord your God sends you to tell us.H559H3414H3068H571H539H5707H6213H1697H3068H430H7971 6Whether it is good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to Whom we are sending you [to inquire], that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.H2896H7451H8085H6963H3068H430H580H7971H3190H8085H6963H3068H430 7And after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.H7093H6235H3117H1697H3068H3414 8Then he called Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him and all the people from the least even to the greatest,H7121H3110H1121H7143H8269H2428H5971H6996H1419 9And said to them, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to Whom you sent me to present your supplication before Him:H559H559H3068H430H3478H7971H5307H8467H6440 10If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pull you up; for I will relent {and} comfort {and} ease Myself concerning the evil that [in chastisement] I have done to you [and I will substitute mercy and loving-kindness for judgment].H7725H3427H776H1129H2040H5193H5428H5162H7451H6213 11Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are fearful [with the profound and reverent dread inspired by deity]; be not afraid of him, says the Lord, for [he is a mere man, while I am the all-wise, all-powerful, and ever-present God] I [the Lord] am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.H3372H6440H4428H894H6440H3373H3372H5002H3068H3467H5337H3027 12And I will grant mercy to you, that he may have mercy on you and permit you to remain in your own land.H5414H7356H7355H7725H127 13But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, and so disobey the voice of the Lord your God,H559H3427H776H8085H6963H3068H430 14Saying, No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,H559H935H776H4714H7200H4421H8085H6963H7782H7456H3899H3427 15Then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you are fully determined to go to Egypt and you do go to dwell there temporarily,H8085H1697H3068H7611H3063H559H3068H6635H430H3478H7760H7760H6440H935H4714H935H1481 16Then the sword which you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt {and} in it, and there you shall die.H2719H3373H5381H776H4714H7458H1672H1692H310H4714H4191 17So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there temporarily; they will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; none of them will remain or survive the evil that I will bring upon them.H582H7760H6440H935H4714H1481H4191H2719H7458H1698H8300H6412H6440H7451H935 18For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As My anger and My wrath have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall My wrath be poured forth upon you when you enter Egypt. You shall be a detested thing, an astonishment {and} horror, a curse, a thing lightly esteemed {and} a taunt {and} a reproach; you shall see this place no more.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H639H2534H5413H3427H3389H2534H5413H935H4714H423H8047H7045H2781H7200H4725 19The Lord has said to you, O remnant of Judah, Do not go to Egypt. Know for a certainty that I [Jeremiah] have warned {and} testified to you this dayH3068H1696H7611H3063H935H4714H3045H3045H5749H3117 20That you have dealt deceitfully against your own lives; for you sent me [Jeremiah] to the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us to the Lord our God; and whatever the Lord our God says, declare it to us and we will do it.H8582H5315H7971H3068H430H559H6419H3068H430H3068H430H559H5046H6213 21And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God in anything that He sent me to tell you.H3117H5046H8085H6963H3068H430H7971 22Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place [Egypt] where you desire to go to dwell temporarily.H3045H3045H4191H2719H7458H1698H4725H2654H935H1481
