“Like the shame ^H1322 of a thief ^H1590 when ^H3588 he is discovered ^H4672,

So ^H3651 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 is shamed ^H954;

They, their kings ^H4428, their leaders ^H8269,

Their priests ^H3548, and their prophets ^H5030,

Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me in the days ^H3117 of King ^H4428 Josiah ^H2977, “Have you seen ^H7200 what ^H834 faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213? She went ^H1980 up on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H2022 and under ^H8478 every ^H3605 leafy ^H7488 tree ^H6086, and she prostituted ^H2181 herself there ^H8033.

“And it shall come ^H1961 about ^H1961 on that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “that the heart ^H3820 of the king ^H4428 and the hearts ^H3820 of the leaders ^H8269 will fail ^H6; and the priests ^H3548 will tremble ^H8074, and the prophets ^H5030 will be ^H8539 astonished ^H8539.”

“At that time ^H6256,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “they will bring ^H3318 out ^H3318 the bones ^H6106 of the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, the bones ^H6106 of its leaders ^H8269, the bones ^H6106 of the priests ^H3548, the bones ^H6106 of the prophets ^H5030, and the bones ^H6106 of the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 from their graves ^H6913.

Behold ^H2009, listen ^H6963! The cry ^H7775 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971 from a distant ^H4801 land ^H776:

“Is the LORD ^H3068 not in Zion ^H6726? Is her King ^H4428 not within her?”

“Why ^H4069 have they provoked ^H3707 Me with their carved ^H6456 images ^H6456, with foreign ^H5236 [fn]idols ^H1892?”

Who ^H4310 would not fear ^H3372 You, O King ^H4428 of the nations ^H1471?

For it is Your due ^H2969!

For among all ^H3605 the wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 of the nations ^H1471

And in all ^H3605 their kingdoms ^H4438,

There ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369 like ^H3644 You.

But the LORD ^H3068 is the true ^H571 God ^H430;

He is the living ^H2416 God ^H430 and the everlasting ^H5769 King ^H4428.

The earth ^H776 quakes ^H7493 at His wrath ^H7110,

And the nations ^H1471 cannot ^H3808 endure ^H3557 His indignation ^H2195.

Say ^H559 to the king ^H4428 and the queen ^H1377 mother ^H1377,

“Take ^H3427 a ^H3427 lowly ^H8213 seat ^H3427,

For your beautiful ^H8597 crown ^H5850

Has come ^H3381 down ^H3381 from your head ^H4763.”

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me: “Go ^H1980 and stand ^H5975 at the [fn]public ^H1121 H5971 gate ^H8179, through which ^H834 the kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 come ^H935 in ^H935 and go ^H3318 out ^H3318, as well as at all ^H3605 the gates ^H8179 of Jerusalem ^H3389;

The word ^H1697 that ^H834 came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 from the LORD ^H3068 when King ^H4428 Zedekiah ^H6667 sent ^H7971 to him Pashhur ^H6583 the son ^H1121 of Malchijah ^H4441 and Zephaniah ^H6846 the priest ^H3548, the son ^H1121 of Maaseiah ^H4641, saying ^H559,

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the house ^H1004 of the king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 and there ^H8033 speak ^H1696 this ^H2088 word ^H1697,

“You are like Gilead ^H1568 to Me,

Like the summit ^H7218 of Lebanon ^H3844;

Yet most ^H518 H3808 assuredly ^H518 H3808 I will make ^H7896 you a wilderness ^H4057,

Cities ^H5892 that are not inhabited ^H3427.

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 regarding ^H413 [fn]Shallum ^H7967 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, who became ^H4427 king ^H4427 in ^H8478 the place ^H8478 of ^H8478 his father ^H1 Josiah ^H2977, who ^H834 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 from this ^H2088 place ^H4725: “He will never ^H3808 H5750 return ^H7725 there ^H8033;

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 regarding ^H413 Jehoiakim ^H3079 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063:

“They will not mourn ^H5594 for him:

‘Oh ^H1945, my brother ^H251!’ or, ‘Oh ^H1945, sister ^H269!’

They will not mourn ^H5594 for him:

‘Oh ^H1945, for the master ^H113!’ or, ‘Oh ^H1945, for his splendor ^H1935!’

“As I live ^H2416,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, “even ^H3588 if ^H518 [fn]Coniah ^H3078 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiakim ^H3079 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 were a signet ^H2368 ring on My right ^H3225 hand ^H3027, yet ^H3588 I would pull ^H5423 [fn]you [fn]off ^H5423;

“Behold ^H2009, the days ^H3117 are coming ^H935,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“When I will raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 for David ^H1732 a righteous ^H6662 [fn]Branch ^H6780;

And He will reign ^H4427 as king ^H4428 and [fn]act ^H7919 wisely ^H7919

And do ^H6213 justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6666 in the land ^H776.

After ^H310 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 had taken ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1540 Jeconiah ^H3204 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiakim ^H3079, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, and the officials ^H8269 of Judah ^H3063 with the craftsmen ^H2796 and metalworkers ^H4525 from Jerusalem ^H3389 and had brought ^H935 them to Babylon ^H894, the LORD ^H3068 showed ^H7200 me: behold ^H2009, two ^H8147 baskets ^H1731 of figs ^H8384 placed ^H5975 before ^H6440 the temple ^H1964 of the LORD ^H3068.

‘But like the bad ^H7451 figs ^H8384 which ^H834 cannot ^H3808 be eaten ^H398 due ^H4480 to rottenness ^H7455,’ indeed ^H3588, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, ‘so ^H3651 will I give ^H5414 up ^H5414 Zedekiah ^H6667 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 and his officials ^H8269, and the remnant ^H7611 of Jerusalem ^H3389 who remain ^H7604 in this ^H2088 land ^H776, and the ones who live ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714.

The word ^H1697 that came ^H1961 to Jeremiah ^H3414 concerning ^H5921 all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 of Judah ^H3063, in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141 of Jehoiakim ^H3079 the son ^H1121 of Josiah ^H2977, king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 (that was the first ^H7224 year ^H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894),
