And Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian heard (now he was in the king's household) that they [had] put Jeremiah into the dungeon; and the king was in the Gate of Benjamin.

You have done evil in what you have done to slay this man with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.

So Ebed-Melech took the men and went into the underground [part of the] king's house, and took from there old rags and old ropes, and threw them down to Jeremiah into the dungeon.

And they pulled him up with the ropes, and lifted him out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty: Because you have spoken this word, behold, I have made My words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, Thus will I break in pieces this people, and this city, even as an earthen vessel is broken in pieces which cannot be mended again.

Thus will I do to this place, says the Lord, and to the inhabitants of it, that this city may be given up, as one that is falling to ruin.

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.

And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; thus says the Lord: So will I deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, them that are left in this land, and those that dwell in the land of Egypt.

And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I have given them.

But be certain of this, that if you kill me, you shall bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

Micah the Moreshite lived in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and said to all the people of Judah, Thus says the Lord; Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.

And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath Jearim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

and the Chaldeans shall come to war against this city, and they shall burn this city with fire, and shall burn down the houses where they burnt incense on its roofs to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me.

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.

And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall certainly be taken, and shall be given into his hands; and your eyes shall see his eyes, and you shall enter into Babylon.

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.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] bring upon Judah and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.

And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants; and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Judah, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they did not heed.

And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Judah few in number, and the remnant of Judah, who have continued in the land [of] Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.

And this [shall be] a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.

But I hasten to go the way [of death], as all that are upon the earth also [do.] And you know in your heart and in your soul, that not one word has fallen [to the ground] of all the words which the Lord our God has spoken respecting all that concerns us; there has not one of them failed.

And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon us which the Lord God [promised you, so shall] He bring upon you all the evil things, until He has destroyed you from off this good land, which the Lord has given you,

that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its Sabbaths in resting, [and] Sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.

And He has confirmed His words, which He spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, [by] bringing upon us great evils, such as have not happened under the whole heaven, according to what has happened in Jerusalem.

But do you receive My words and My ordinances, all that I command by My Spirit to My servants the prophets, who lived in the days of your fathers? And they answered and said, As the Lord Almighty determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so has He done to us.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.

Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

For You, O Lord, are my hope; You, my soul, have made the Most High your refuge.

And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
