JEREMIAH 26:22–27:13 Urijah killed. Yoke bars for nations 1002
of it he at once became afraid a
and ran away and came into
Egypt. 22 But King Je·hoiakim
sent men to Egypt, El·nathan
the son of Achbor b and
other men with him to Egypt.
23 And they proceeded to bring
U·rijah out from Egypt and to
bring him to King Je·hoia·kim,
who then struck him down with
the sword c and cast his dead
body into the graveyard of the
sons of the people.”
24 Moreover, it was the hand
of A·hikam d the son of Shaphan
e that proved to be with Jeremiah,
in order not to give him
into the hand of the people to
have him put to death. f
27
In the beginning of the
kingdom of Je·hoia·kim
the son of Jo·siah, g the king
of Judah, this word occurred to
Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
2 “This is what Jehovah has said
to me, ‘Make for yourself bands
and yoke bars, h and you must put
them upon your neck. i 3 And
you must send them to the king
of Edom j and to the king of Moab
k and to the king of the sons
of Ammon l and to the king of
Tyre m and to the king of Sidon n
by the hand of the messengers
who are coming to Jerusalem to
Zed·e·kiah the king of Judah.
4 And you must give them a
command for their masters, saying:
“ ‘ “This is what Jehovah of armies,
the God of Israel, o has said;
this is what YOU should say to
YOUR masters, 5 ‘I myself have
made the earth, p mankind q and
the beasts r that are upon the
surface of the earth by my great
power s andbymystretched-out
arm; t and I have given it to whom
it has proved right in my eyes. u
6 And now I myself have given
all these lands into the hand
of Neb·u·chad·nezzar the king of
Babylon, v my servant; w and even
the wild beasts of the field I have
given him to serve him. x 7 And

8 “‘“‘And it must occur that
the nation and the kingdom that
will not serve him, even Neb·uchad·nezzar
the king of Babylon;
and the one that will not put its
neck under the yoke of the king
of Babylon, with the sword d and
with the famine e and with the
pestilence f I shall turn my attention
upon that nation,’ is the utterance
of Jehovah, ‘until I shall
have finished them off by his
hand.’ g
9 “‘“‘And as for YOU men, do
not listen to YOUR prophets h and
to YOUR practicers of divination
and to YOUR dreamers i and to
YOUR practicers of magic and to
YOUR sorcerers, j who are saying
to YOU: “YOU men will not serve
the king of Babylon.” k 10 For
falsehood is what they are prophesying
to YOU, for the purpose of
having YOU taken far away from
off YOUR ground; and I shall have
to disperse YOU,andYOU will have
to perish. l
11 “‘“‘And as for the nation
that will bring its neck under the
yoke of the king of Babylon and
actually serve him, I will also let
it rest upon its ground,’ is the utterance
of Jehovah, ‘and it will
certainly cultivate it and dwell in
it.’ ” ’ ” m
12 Even to Zed·e·kiah n the
king of Judah I spoke according
to all these words, o saying:
“Bring YOUR necks under the
yoke of the king of Babylon and
serve him and his people and
keep on living. p 13 Why should
you yourself and your people die
