of vuvh our Elohim.
17 Then rose up certain of the zechanim of the land, and
spoke to all the congregation of the people, saying,
18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of
Hizqiyahu melech of Yahudah, and spoke to all the
people of Yahudah, saying, This says vuvh tzevaoth;
Tzion shall be plowed like a field, and Yahrushalayim
shall become heaps, and the mountain of the bayit as the
high places of a forest.
19 Did Hizqiyahu melech of Yahudah and all Yahudah
put him to death? Did he not fear vuvh, and sought vuvh,
and vuvh relented of the evil that he had pronounced
against them? We are doing great evil against ourselves.
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the Name
of vuvh, Uriyahu the son of Shemayahu of Kiryath-
Yearyim, who prophesied against this city and against
this land according to all the words of Yirmeyahu:
21 And when Yahuyakim the melech, with all his mighty
men, and all the leaders, heard his words, the melech
sought to put him to death: but when Uriyahu heard it, he
was afraid, and fled, and went into Mitzrayim;
22 And Yahuyakim the melech sent men into Mitzrayim,
namely, El-Natan the son of Achvor, and certain men
with him into Mitzrayim.
23 And they brought Uriyahu out of Mitzrayim, and
brought him to Yahuyakim the melech; who killed him
with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of
the am-ha-aretz.
24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahicham the son of Shaphan
was with Yirmeyahu, that they should not give him into
the hand of the people to put him to death.
27 In the beginning of the malchut of Yahuyakim the
son of Yoshiyahu melech of Yahudah came this word to
Yirmeyahu from vuvh, saying,
2 This says vuvh to me; Make for yourself bands and
yokes, and put them upon your neck,
3 And send them to the melech of Edom, and to the
melech of Moav, and to the melech of the Ammonites, and
to the melech of Tsor, and to the melech of Tzidon, by the
hand of the messengers that come to Yahrushalayim to
Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah;
4 And command them to say to their masters, This says
vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; This shall you say to
your masters;
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are
upon the ground, by My great power and by My
outstretched Arm, and have given it to whom it seemed
right to Me.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of
Nevuchadnetzar the melech of Bavel, My eved; and the
beasts of the field have I given to him also to serve him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his
son's son, to the very time of his land come: and then
many nations and great melechim shall make him serve
them.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and malchut
which will not serve the same Nevuchadnetzar the melech
of Bavel, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of
the melech of Bavel, that nation will I punish, says vuvh,
with the sword, and with the famine, and with the
pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Therefore listen not you to your neviim, nor to your
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 322 -
diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters,
nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall
not serve the melech of Bavel:
10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from
your land, and that I should drive you out, and that you
should perish.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of
the melech of Bavel, and serve him, those will I let remain
in their own land, says vuvh; and they shall till it, and
dwell in it.
12 I spoke also to Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah
according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks
under the yoke of the melech of Bavel, and serve him and
his people, and live.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword,
by the famine, and by the pestilence, as vuvh has spoken
against the nation that will not serve the melech of Bavel?
14 Therefore listen not to the words of the neviim that
speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the melech of
Bavel: for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 For I have not sent them, says vuvh, yet they prophesy
a lie in My Name; that I might drive you out, and that you
might perish, you, and the neviim who prophesy to you.
16 Also I spoke to the Kohanim and to all the people,
saying, This says vuvh; Listen not to the words of your
neviim that prophesy to you, saying, See, the vessels of
vuvh's Bayit shall now shortly be brought again from
Bavel: for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Listen not to them; serve the melech of Bavel, and live:
why should this city be laid waste?
18 But if they are neviim, and if the word of vuvh is with
them, let them now make intercession to vuvh tzevaoth,
so that the vessels that are left in the Bayit of vuvh, and in
the bayit of the melech of Yahudah, and at
Yahrushalayim, do not go to Bavel.
19 For this says vuvh tzevaoth concerning the columns,
and concerning the huge bronze laver, and concerning the
bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that
remain in this city,
20 Which Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel took not,
when he carried away Yekonyahu the son of Yahuyakim
melech of Yahudah into exile from Yahrushalayim to
Bavel, along with all the nobles of Yahudah and
Yahrushalayim;
21 Yes, this says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael,
concerning the vessels that remain in the Bayit of vuvh,
and in the bayit of the melech of Yahudah and of
Yahrushalayim;
22 They shall be carried to Bavel, and there shall they be
to the day that I visit them with deliverance, says vuvh;
then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
28
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning
of the malchut of Tzidkiyahu melech of Yahudah, in the
fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananyah the son
of Azur the navi, who was of Giveon, spoke to me in the
Bayit of vuvh, in the presence of the Kohanim and of all
the people, saying,
2 This speaks vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael,
saying, I have broken the yoke of the melech of Bavel.
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place
all the vessels of vuvh's Bayit, that Nevuchadnetzar
melech of Bavel took away from this place, and
