RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

9 Now the pit in which Yishmael had cast all the dead
bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of
Gedalyahu, was the one Asa the melech had made for fear
of Baasha melech of Yisrael: and Yishmael the son of
Nethanyahu filled it with the slain.
10 Then Yishmael carried away into exile all the residue
of the people that were in Mitzpah, even the melech's
daughters, and all the people that remained in Mitzpah,
whom Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard had
committed to Gedalyahu the son of Ahiqam: and
Yishmael the son of Nethanyahu carried them away into
exile, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
11 But when Yochanan the son of Kareyah, and all the
captains of the army that were with him, heard of all the
evil that Yishmael the son of Nethanyahu had done,
12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight with
Yishmael the son of Nethanyah, and found him by the
great mayim that are in Giveon.
13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people who
were with Yishmael saw Yochanan the son of Kareyah,
and all the captains of the army that were with him, then
they were in simcha.
14 So all the people that Yishmael had carried away into
exile from Mitzpah turned around and returned, and went
to Yochanan the son of Kareyah.
15 But Yishmael the son of Nethanyahu escaped from
Yochanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 Then took Yochanan the son of Kareyah, and all the
captains of the army that were with him, all the remnant
of the people whom he had recovered from Yishmael the
son of Nethanyahu, from Mitzpah, after he had slain
Gedalyahu the son of Ahiqam, even mighty men of war,
and the women, and the children, and the officers, whom
he had brought again from Giveon:
17 And they departed, and dwelt in the dwelling of
Chimham, which is near Beth-Lechem, to go into
Mitzrayim,
18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of
them, because Yishmael the son of Nethanyahu had slain
Gedalyahu the son of Ahiqam, whom the melech of Bavel
made governor in the land.
42 Then all the captains of the army, and Yochanan the
son of Kareyah, and Yezanyah the son of Hoshayah, and
all the people from the least even to the greatest, came
near,
2 And said to Yirmeyahu the navi, Let, we ask you, our
petition be accepted before you, and make tefillah for us
to vuvh your Elohim, even for all this remnant, for we are
left but only a few from many, as your eyes see us.
3 That vuvh your Elohim may show us the derech in
which we may have our walk, and the thing that we may
do.
4 Then Yirmeyahu the navi said to them, I have heard
you; see, I will make tefillah to vuvh your Elohim
according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that
whatever thing vuvh shall answer you, I will declare it to
you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5 Then they said to Yirmeyahu, Let vuvh be an emet and
faithful witness between us, if we do not even according
to all things that vuvh your Elohim shall send to us
through you.
6 Whether it be tov, or whether it be evil, we will obey
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 333 -
the voice of vuvh our Elohim, to whom we send you; that
it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of vuvh
our Elohim.
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of vuvh
came to Yirmeyahu.
8 Then he called Yochanan the son of Kareyah, and all
the captains of the army that were with him, and all the
people from the least even to the greatest,
9 And said to them, This says vuvh, the Elohim of
Yisrael, to whom you sent me to present your petition
before Him;
10 If you will still stay in this land, then will I build you,
and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck
you up: for I relent of the evil that I have done to you.
11 Be not afraid of the melech of Bavel, of whom you are
afraid; be not afraid of him, says vuvh: for I am with you
to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 And I will show rachamim to you, that he may have
rachamim upon you, and cause you to shuv to your own
land.
13 But if you say, We will not dwell in this land; neither
obey the voice of vuvh your Elohim,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Mitzrayim,
where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the
shofar, nor have hunger of lechem; and there will we
dwell:
15 Then hear the word of vuvh, you remnant of Yahudah;
This says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; If you
indeed set your faces to enter into Mitzrayim, and go to
sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which you
feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Mitzrayim,
and the famine, of which you were afraid, shall follow
close after you there in Mitzrayim; and there you shall
die.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go
into Mitzrayim to sojourn there; they shall die by the
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of
them shall remain, or escape from the evil that I will
bring upon them.
18 For this says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael; As
My anger and My wrath has been poured forth upon the
inhabitants of Yahrushalayim; so shall My wrath be
poured forth upon you, when you shall enter into
Mitzrayim: and you shall be an oath, and an
astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall
see this place no more.
19 vuvh has said concerning you, O you remnant of
Yahudah; Go not into Mitzrayim: know certainly that I
have admonished you this day.
20 For you deceived your own levim, when you sent me
to vuvh your Elohim, saying, Make tefillah for us to vuvh
our Elohim; and according to all that vuvh our Elohim
shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.
21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but you
have not obeyed the voice of vuvh your Elohim, in all the
things about which He has sent me to you.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place
where you desire to go and to sojourn.
43
And it came to pass, that when Yirmeyahu had made
an end of speaking to all the people all the words of vuvh
