And Hezekiah humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;

behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer. And [God] hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.

And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasseh was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.

And Moses and Aaron went in before Pharaoh, and they said to him, Thus says the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long do you refuse to reverence Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

And you accordingly, his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart before God: do you not know all this?

And you have exalted yourself against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before you the vessels of His house, and you, your nobles, your mistresses, and your concubines have drunk wine out of them; and you have praised the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

Be humbled before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

The word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashur, the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

And Jeremiah said to them, Thus shall you say to Zedekiah, king of Judah:

And I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, with wrath and great anger.

And after this, thus says the Lord; I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people that are left in this city from the pestilence, and from the famine, and from the sword, into the hands of their enemies that seek their lives, and they shall cut them in pieces with the edge of the sword. I will not spare them, and I will not have compassion upon them.

He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine; but he that goes forth to defect to the Chaldeans that have besieged you shall live, and his life shall be as a prize to him, and he shall live.

I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.

For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,

I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord: Do not listen to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon- for they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you.

If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet Me, for thus has the Lord said.

which the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried Jeconiah prisoner out of Jerusalem,

they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the false prophet, the son of Azur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,

Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,

Then Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,

Nevertheless hear the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:

[As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has truly sent.

And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord: Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremiah went his way.

Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, Thus says the Lord: You have broken the yokes of wood, but I will make yokes of iron in their place.

And Jeremiah said to Hananiah, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.

So he died in the seventh month.

Thus says the Lord: Go to Zedekiah king of Judah, and you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord: This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire.

But hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah: Thus says the Lord:

And Jeremiah spoke to King Zedekiah all these words in Jerusalem.

[This is] the word that came from the Lord to Jeremiah, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release:

Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free everyone of his male and female slaves, [changed their minds],

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

When six years are accomplished, you shall set free your brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to you; for he shall serve you six years, and [then] you shall let him go free. But they hearkened not to Me, and inclined not their ear.

But you turned and profaned My name, to bring back everyone his servant, and everyone his handmaid, whom you had set free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you male and female slaves.

And I will give the men that have transgressed My covenant, who have not kept My covenant, which they made before Me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,

I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcasses shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.

Behold, I [will] give command, says the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Judah; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.

And he and his servants and the people of the land hearkened not to the words of the Lord, which He spoke by Jeremiah.

Now Jeremiah came and went through the midst of the city, for they [had] not put him into the house of the prison.

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

And the Chaldeans themselves shall turn again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

And though you should smite the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left a few wounded [men], these should rise up each in his place, and burn this city with fire.

that Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to buy [some property] from there among the people.

And he said, [that's a] lie! I do not flee to the Chaldeans! But he would not listen to him. So Irajah caught Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

So Jeremiah came into the dungeon, and into the cells, and he remained there many days.

And Jeremiah said to the king, How have I wronged you, or your servants, or this people, that you have put me in prison?

Now therefore, my lord the king, let my supplication come before your face; and why do you send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe? And by no means let me die there.

Then the king sent, and called [Jeremiah] to himself into the house of Aselisel, which was in the house of the Lord. And the king said to him, I will ask you a question, and I pray you hide nothing from me.

And the king swore to him, saying, [As] the Lord lives who gave us this soul, I will not slay you, neither will I give you into the hands of these men.

But if you will not go forth, [then] this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall by no means escape.

And Jeremiah said, They shall in no wise deliver you up. Hear the word of the Lord which I speak to you; and it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.

And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah were brought forth to the princes of the king of Babylon. And they said, The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and will prevail against you; and they shall cause your foot to slide and fail, they have turned back from you.

Then the king said to him, Let no man know [any] of these words, and certainly you shall not die.

Then you shall say to them, I brought my supplication before the presence of the king, that he would not send me back into the house of Jonathan, that I should die there.

And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison, until the time when Jerusalem was taken.

However, Josiah turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Megiddo.
