⮜ Jeremiah 37 | Jeremiah 39 ⮞

1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying, Jeremiah 38:1WEB
2 “YHWH says, ‘He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live. He will escape with his life and he will live.’ Jeremiah 38:2WEB
3 YHWH says, ‘This city will surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.’” Jeremiah 38:3WEB
4 Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death, because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them; for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.” Jeremiah 38:4WEB
5 Zedekiah the king said, “Behold, he is in your hand; for the king can’t do anything to oppose you.” Jeremiah 38:5WEB
6 Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard. They let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire. Jeremiah 38:6WEB
7 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king was then sitting in Benjamin’s gate), Jeremiah 38:7WEB
8 Ebedmelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying, Jeremiah 38:8WEB
9 “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon. He is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.” Jeremiah 38:9WEB
10 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.” Jeremiah 38:10WEB
11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. Jeremiah 38:11WEB
12 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords.” Jeremiah did so. Jeremiah 38:12WEB
13 So they lifted Jeremiah up with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard. Jeremiah 38:13WEB
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into the third entry that is in YHWH’s house. Then the king said to Jeremiah, “I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.” Jeremiah 38:14WEB
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? If I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.” Jeremiah 38:15WEB
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, “As YHWH lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.” Jeremiah 38:16WEB
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “YHWH, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. You will live, along with your house. Jeremiah 38:17WEB
18 But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you won’t escape out of their hand.’” Jeremiah 38:18WEB
19 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.” Jeremiah 38:19WEB
20 But Jeremiah said, “They won’t deliver you. Obey, I beg you, YHWH’s voice, in that which I speak to you; so it will be well with you, and your soul will live. Jeremiah 38:20WEB
21 But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that YHWH has shown me: Jeremiah 38:21WEB
22 ‘Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house will be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women will say, “Your familiar friends have turned on you, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away from you.” Jeremiah 38:22WEB
23 They will bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans. You won’t escape out of their hand, but will be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. You will cause this city to be burned with fire.’” Jeremiah 38:23WEB
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you won’t die. Jeremiah 38:24WEB
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also tell us what the king said to you;’ Jeremiah 38:25WEB
26 then you shall tell them, ‘I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.’” Jeremiah 38:26WEB
27 Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived. Jeremiah 38:27WEB
28 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. Jeremiah 38:28WEB
