| Jeremiah 32 Text (WEB)
|
- The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
- Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
- For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
- and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;
- and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?
- Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
- Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.
- So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.
- I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
- I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
- So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
- and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
- I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
- Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.
- For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.
- Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,
- Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,
- who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is his name;
- great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
- who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among [other] men; and made yourself a name, as in this day;
- and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
- and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
- and they came in, and possessed it, but they didn't obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.
- Behold, the mounds, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and behold, you see it.
- You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
- Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,
- Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
- Therefore thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
- and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
- For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yahweh.
- For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
- because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
- They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
- But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
- They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech; which I didn't command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
- Now therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
- Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
- and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
- and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
- and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
- Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
- For thus says Yahweh: Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
- Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
- Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yahweh.

- ואז חיל מלך בבל צרים על־ירושלם וירמיהו הנביא היה כלוא בחצר המטרה אשר בית־מלך יהודה׃
- אשר כלאו צדקיהו מלך־יהודה לאמר מדוע אתה נבא לאמר כה אמר יהוה הנני נתן את־העיר הזאת ביד מלך־בבל ולכדה׃
- וצדקיהו מלך יהודה לא ימלט מיד הכשדים כי הנתן ינתן ביד מלך־בבל ודבר־פיו עם־פיו ועיניו את־ תראינה׃
- ובבל יולך את־צדקיהו ושם יהיה עד־פקדי אתו נאם־יהוה כי תלחמו את־הכשדים לא תצליחו׃ ף
- ויאמר ירמיהו היה דבר־יהוה אלי לאמר׃
- הנה חנמאל בן־שלם דדך בא אליך לאמר קנה לך את־שדי אשר בענתות כי לך משפט הגאלה לקנות׃
- ויבא אלי חנמאל בן־דדי כדבר יהוה אל־חצר המטרה ויאמר אלי קנה נא את־שדי אשר־בענתות אשר בארץ בנימין כי־לך משפט הירשה ולך הגאלה קנה־לך ואדע כי דבר־יהוה הוא׃
- ואקנה את־השדה מאת חנמאל בן־דדי אשר בענתות ואשקלה־לו את־הכסף שבעה שקלים ועשרה הכסף׃
- ואכתב בספר ואחתם ואעד עדים ואשקל הכסף במאזנים׃
- ואקח את־ספר המקנה את־החתום המצוה והחקים ואת־הגלוי׃
- ואתן את־הספר המקנה אל־ברוך בן־נריה בן־מחסיה לעיני חנמאל דדי ולעיני העדים הכתבים בספר המקנה לעיני כל־היהודים הישבים בחצר המטרה׃
- ואצוה את־ברוך לעיניהם לאמר׃
- כה־אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל לקוח את־הספרים האלה את ספר המקנה הזה ואת החתום ואת ספר הגלוי הזה ונתתם בכלי־חרש למען יעמדו ימים רבים׃ ס
- כי כה אמר יהוה צבאות אלהי ישראל עוד יקנו בתים ושדות וכרמים בארץ הזאת׃ ף
- ואתפלל אל־יהוה אחרי תתי את־ספר המקנה אל־ברוך בן־נריה לאמר׃
- אהה אדני יהוה הנה אתה עשית את־השמים ואת־הארץ בכחך הגדול ובזרעך הנטויה לא־יפלא ממך כל־דבר׃
- עשה חסד לאלפים ומשלם עון אבות אל־חיק בניהם אחריהם האל הגדול הגבור יהוה צבאות שמו׃
- גדל העצה ורב העליליה אשר־עיניך פקחות על־כל־דרכי בני אדם לתת לאיש כדרכיו וכפרי מעלליו׃
- אשר־שמת אתות ומפתים בארץ־מצרים עד־היום הזה ובישראל ובאדם ותעשה־לך שם כיום הזה׃
- ותצא את־עמך את־ישראל מארץ מצרים באתות ובמופתים וביד חזקה ובאזרוע נטויה ובמורא גדול׃
- ותתן להם את־הארץ הזאת אשר־נשבעת לאבותם לתת להם ארץ זבת חלב ודבש׃
- ויבאו וירשו אתה ולא־שמעו בקולך לא־הלכו את כל־אשר צויתה להם לעשות לא עשו ותקרא אתם את כל־הרעה הזאת׃
- הנה הסללות באו העיר ללכדה והעיר נתנה ביד הכשדים הנלחמים עליה מפני החרב והרעב והדבר ואשר דברת היה והנך ראה׃
- ואתה אמרת אלי אדני יהוה קנה־לך השדה בכסף והעד עדים והעיר נתנה ביד הכשדים׃
- ויהי דבר־יהוה אל־ירמיהו לאמר׃
- הנה אני יהוה אלהי כל־בשר הממני יפלא כל־דבר׃
- לכן כה אמר יהוה הנני נתן את־העיר הזאת ביד הכשדים וביד נבוכדראצר מלך־בבל ולכדה׃
- ובאו הכשדים הנלחמים על־העיר הזאת והציתו את־העיר הזאת באש ושרפוה ואת הבתים אשר קטרו על־גגותיהם לבעל והסכו נסכים לאלהים אחרים למען הכעסני׃
- כי־היו בני־ישראל ובני יהודה אך עשים הרע בעיני מנערתיהם כי בני־ישראל אך מכעסים אתי במעשה ידיהם נאם־יהוה׃
- כי על־אפי ועל־חמתי היתה לי העיר הזאת למן־היום אשר בנו אותה ועד היום הזה להסירה מעל פני׃
- על כל־רעת בני־ישראל ובני יהודה אשר עשו להכעסני המה מלכיהם שריהם כהניהם ונביאיהם ואיש יהודה וישבי ירושלם׃
- ויפנו אלי ערף ולא פנים ולמד אתם השכם ולמד ואינם שמעים לקחת מוסר׃
- וישימו שקוציהם בבית אשר־נקרא־שמי עליו לטמאו׃
- ויבנו את־במות הבעל אשר בגיא בן־הנם להעביר את־בניהם ואת־בנותיהם למלך אשר לא־צויתים ולא עלתה על־לבי לעשות התועבה הזאת למען את־יהודה׃ ס
- ועתה לכן כה־אמר יהוה אלהי ישראל אל־העיר הזאת אשר אתם אמרים נתנה ביד מלך־בבל בחרב וברעב ובדבר׃
- הנני מקבצם מכל־הארצות אשר הדחתים שם באפי ובחמתי ובקצף גדול והשבתים אל־המקום הזה והשבתים לבטח׃
- והיו לי לעם ואני אהיה להם לאלהים׃
- ונתתי להם לב אחד ודרך אחד ליראה אותי כל־הימים לטוב להם ולבניהם אחריהם׃
- וכרתי להם ברית עולם אשר לא־אשוב מאחריהם להיטיבי אותם ואת־יראתי אתן בלבבם לבלתי סור מעלי׃
- וששתי עליהם להטיב אותם ונטעתים בארץ הזאת באמת בכל־לבי ובכל־נפשי׃ ס
- כי־כה אמר יהוה כאשר הבאתי אל־העם הזה את כל־הרעה הגדולה הזאת כן אנכי מביא עליהם את־כל־הטובה אשר אנכי דבר עליהם׃
- ונקנה השדה בארץ הזאת אשר אתם אמרים שממה היא מאין אדם ובהמה נתנה ביד הכשדים׃
- שדות בכסף יקנו וכתוב בספר וחתום והעד עדים בארץ בנימן ובסביבי ירושלם ובערי יהודה ובערי ההר ובערי השפלה ובערי הנגב כי־אשיב את־שבותם נאם־יהוה׃ ף

| Jeremiah 32 Text (Latin)
|
- Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, in anno decimo Sedeciæ regis Juda, ipse est annus decimus octavus Nabuchodonosor.
- Tunc exercitus regis Babylonis obsidebat Jerusalem, et Jeremias propheta erat clausus in atrio carceris qui erat in domo regis Juda.
- Clauserat enim eum Sedecias rex Juda, dicens : Quare vaticinaris, dicens : Hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego dabo civitatem istam in manus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam ;
- et Sedecias rex Juda non effugiet de manu Chaldæorum, sed tradetur in manus regis Babylonis : et loquetur os ejus cum ore illius, et oculi ejus oculos illius videbunt :
- et in Babylonem ducet Sedeciam, et ibi erit donec visitem eum, ait Dominus : si autem dimicaveritis adversum Chaldæos, nihil prosperum habebitis ?
- Et dixit Jeremias : Factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :
- Ecce Hanameel filius Sellum, patruelis tuus, veniet ad te, dicens : Eme tibi agrum meum qui est in Anathoth, tibi enim competit ex propinquitate ut emas.
- Et venit ad me Hanameel filius patrui mei, secundum verbum Domini, ad vestibulum carceris, et ait ad me : Posside agrum meum qui est in Anathoth, in terra Benjamin, quia tibi competit hæreditas, et tu propinquus es ut possideas. Intellexi autem quod verbum Domini esset :
- et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est in Anathoth, et appendi ei argentum : septem stateres, et decem argenteos.
- Et scripsi in libro, et signavi, et adhibui testes, et appendi argentum in statera.
- Et accepi librum possessionis signatum et stipulationes, et rata, et signa forinsecus :
- et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri filii Maasiæ, in oculis Hanameel patruelis mei, in oculis testium qui scripti erant in libro emptionis, et in oculis omnium Judæorum qui sedebant in atrio carceris.
- Et præcepi Baruch coram eis, dicens :
- Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Sume libros istos, librum emptionis hunc signatum, et librum hunc qui apertus est, et pone illos in vase fictili, ut permanere possint diebus multis :
- hæc enim dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Adhuc possidebuntur domus, et agri, et vineæ in terra ista.
- Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri, dicens :
- Heu ! heu ! heu ! Domine Deus, ecce tu fecisti cælum et terram in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento : non erit tibi difficile omne verbum :
- qui facis misericordiam in millibus, et reddis iniquitatem patrum in sinum filiorum eorum post eos : fortissime, magne, et potens, Dominus exercituum nomen tibi.
- Magnus consilio, et incomprehensibilis cogitatu : cujus oculi aperti sunt super omnes vias filiorum Adam, ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas, et secundum fructum adinventionum ejus.
- Qui posuisti signa et portenta in terra Ægypti usque ad diem hanc, et in Israël, et in hominibus, et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies hæc.
- Et eduxisti populum tuum Israël de terra Ægypti, in signis et in portentis, et in manu robusta et in brachio extento, et in terrore magno :
- et dedisti eis terram hanc, quam jurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis, terram fluentem lacte et melle.
- Et ingressi sunt, et possederunt eam, et non obedierunt voci tuæ, et in lege tua non ambulaverunt : omnia quæ mandasti eis ut facerent non fecerunt, et evenerunt eis omnia mala hæc.
- Ecce munitiones exstructæ sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur, et urbs data est in manus Chaldæorum, qui præliantur adversus eam, a facie gladii, et famis, et pestilentiæ : et quæcumque locutus es acciderunt, ut tu ipse cernis.
- Et tu dicis mihi, Domine Deus : Eme agrum argento, et adhibe testes, cum urbs data sit in manus Chaldæorum ?
- Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens :
- Ecce ego Dominus Deus universæ carnis : numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum ?
- Propterea hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldæorum, et in manus regis Babylonis, et capient eam.
- Et venient Chaldæi præliantes adversum urbem hanc, et succendent eam igni, et comburent eam, et domos in quarum domatibus sacrificabant Baal, et libabant diis alienis libamina ad irritandum me.
- Erant enim filii Israël et filii Juda jugiter facientes malum in oculis meis ab adolescentia sua : filii Israël, qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuum suarum, dicit Dominus.
- Quia in furore et in indignatione mea facta est mihi civitas hæc, a die qua ædificaverunt eam, usque ad diem istam qua auferetur de conspectu meo,
- propter malitiam filiorum Israël et filiorum Juda, quam fecerunt ad iracundiam me provocantes, ipsi et reges eorum, principes eorum, et sacerdotes eorum, et prophetæ eorum, viri Juda et habitatores Jerusalem.
- Et verterunt ad me terga, et non facies, cum docerem eos diluculo et erudirem, et nollent audire, ut acciperent disciplinam.
- Et posuerunt idola sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam.
- Et ædificaverunt excelsa Baal, quæ sunt in valle filii Ennom, ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch, quod non mandavi eis, nec ascendit in cor meum ut facerent abominationem hanc, et in peccatum deducerent Judam.
- Et nunc propter ista, hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël ad civitatem hanc, de qua vos dicitis quod tradetur in manus regis Babylonis, in gladio, et in fame, et in peste :
- Ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris ad quas ejeci eos in furore meo, et in ira mea, et indignatione grandi : et reducam eos ad locum istum, et habitare eos faciam confidenter :
- et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eis in Deum.
- Et dabo eis cor unum, et viam unam, ut timeant me universis diebus, et bene sit eis, et filiis eorum post eos.
- Et feriam eis pactum sempiternum, et non desinam eis benefacere : et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum, ut non recedant a me.
- Et lætabor super eis, cum bene eis fecero : et plantabo eos in terra ista in veritate, in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea.
- Quia hæc dicit Dominus : Sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande, sic adducam super eos omne bonum quod ego loquor ad eos.
- Et possidebuntur agri in terra ista, de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit, eo quod non remanserit homo et jumentum, et data sit in manus Chaldæorum.
- Agri ementur pecunia, et scribentur in libro, et imprimetur signum, et testis adhibebitur, in terra Benjamin et in circuitu Jerusalem, in civitatibus Juda, et in civitatibus montanis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quæ ad austrum sunt, quia convertam captivitatem eorum, ait Dominus.

| Jeremiah 32 Text (KJV)
|
- The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
- For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
- For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
- And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
- And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
- And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
- So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
- And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
- And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
- So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
- And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
- And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
- Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
- For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
- Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
- Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
- Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
- Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
- Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
- And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
- And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
- And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
- Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
- And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
- Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
- Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
- Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
- And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
- For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
- For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
- Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
- And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
- But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
- And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
- And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
- Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
- And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
- And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
- And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
- Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
- For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
- And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
- Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
