25 Nevertheless El-Natan and Delayahu and Gemaryahu
had pleaded with the melech that he would not burn the
scroll: but he would not listen to them.
26 But the melech commanded Yerahme-El the son of the
melech, and Serayahu the son of Azriel, and Shelemyahu
the son of Avde-El, to seize Baruch the Sopher and
Yirmeyahu the navi: but vuvh hid them.
27 Then the word of vuvh came to Yirmeyahu, after the
melech had burned the scroll, and the words that Baruch
wrote at the mouth of Yirmeyahu, saying,
28 Take again another scroll, and write in it all the
former words that were in the first scroll, which
Yahuyakim the melech of Yahudah has burned.
29 And you shall say to Yahuyakim the melech of
Yahudah, This says vuvh; You have burned this scroll,
saying, Why have you written in it, saying, The melech of
Bavel shall certainly come and destroy this land, and
shall cause to cease from there man and beast?
30 Therefore this says vuvh concerning Yahuyakim
melech of Yahudah; He shall have none to sit upon the
kesay of Dawid: and his dead body shall be cast out in the
day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 And I will punish him and his zera and his avadim for
their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the
inhabitants of Yahrushalayim, and upon the men of
Yahudah, all the evil that I have pronounced against
them; but they listened not.
32 Then took Yirmeyahu another scroll, and gave it to
Baruch the Sopher, the son of Neriyahu; who wrote in it
from the mouth of Yirmeyahu all the words of the scroll
which Yahuyakim melech of Yahudah had burned in the
fire: and there were added besides the original words
2266 2267
many similar words.
37 And melech Tzidkiyahu the son of Yoshiyahu ruled
instead of Coniyahu the son of Yahuyakim, whom
Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel made melech in the land
of Yahudah.
2 But neither he, nor his avadim, nor the people of the
land, did listen to the words of vuvh, which He spoke by
the navi Yirmeyahu.
3 And Tzidkiyahu the melech sent Yehucal the son of
Shelemyahu and Tzephanyahu the son of Maaseyah the
kohen to the navi Yirmeyahu, saying, Make tefillah now
to vuvh our Elohim for us.
4 Now Yirmeyahu came in and went out among the
people: for they had not yet put him into prison.
5 Then Pharaoh's army came forth out of Mitzrayim: and
when the Chaldeans that besieged Yahrushalayim heard
tidings about them, they departed from Yahrushalayim.
6 Then came the word of vuvh to the navi Yirmeyahu,
saying,
7 This says vuvh, the Elohim of Yisrael; This shall you
say to the melech of Yahudah, that sent you to Me to
inquire of Me; See, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth
to help you, shall shuv to Mitzrayim into their own land.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against
this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
9 This says vuvh; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The
Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not
depart.
10 For though you had smitten the whole army of the
Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 330 -
only one wounded man among them, yet they will still rise
up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the
Chaldeans left the siege of Yahrushalayim for fear of
Pharaoh's army,
12 Then Yirmeyahu went out of Yahrushalayim to go into
the land of Benyamin, to receive his portion there in the
midst of the people.
13 And when he was in the Gate of Benyamin, a captain
of the guard was there, whose name was Yiryah, the son
of Shelemyahu, the son of Hananyah; and he took
Yirmeyahu the navi, saying, You are deserting us to the
Chaldeans.
14 Then said Yirmeyahu; It is false; I am not deserting to
the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him: so Yiryah took
Yirmeyahu, and brought him to the leaders.
15 Therefore the leaders were angry with Yirmeyahu, and
smote him, and put him in prison in the bayit of Yonathan
the Sopher: for they had made that the prison.
16 When Yirmeyahu had entered into the dungeon, and
into the cells, Yirmeyahu had remained there many days;
17 Then Tzidkiyahu the melech sent, and took him out:
and the melech asked him secretly in his bayit, and said,
Is there any word from vuvh? And Yirmeyahu said, There
is! For, He said, you shall be delivered into the hand of
the melech of Bavel.
18 Moreover Yirmeyahu said to melech Tzidkiyahu,
What have I sinned against you, or against your avadim,
or against this people, seeing that you have put me in
prison?
19 Where are your neviim now who prophesied to you,
saying, The melech of Bavel shall not come against you,
nor against this land?
20 Therefore listen now, I ask you, O my master the
melech: let my petition, I ask you, be accepted before
you; that you do not make me shuv to the bayit of
Yonathan the Sopher, lest I die there.
21 Then Tzidkiyahu the melech commanded that they
should commit Yirmeyahu into the court of the guard, and
that they should give him daily a piece of lechem from
the bakers' street, until all the lechem in the city was
gone. So Yirmeyahu remained in the court of the guard.
38
Then Shephatyah the son of Mattan, and Gedalyahu
the son of Pashur, and Yuchal the son of Shelemyahu, and
Pashur the son of Malchiyah, heard the words that
Yirmeyahu had spoken to all the people, saying,
2 This says vuvh, He that remains in this city shall die by
the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he
that goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall
have his chayim as his reward, and shall live.
3 This says vuvh, This city shall surely be given into the
hand of the melech of Bavel's army, who shall take it.
4 Therefore the leaders said to the melech, We beg you,
let this man be put to death: for this he weakens the hands
of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands
of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this
man seeks not the welfare of this people, but their harm.
5 Then Tzidkiyahu the melech said, See, he is in your
hand: for the melech cannot do anything against you.
6 Then they took Yirmeyahu, and cast him into the
dungeon of Malchiyah the son of Hammelech, that was in
the court of the guard: and they let down Yirmeyahu with
