24:031:031 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah:

24:031:032 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I
was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

24:031:033 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will
be their God, and they shall be my people.

24:031:034 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and
every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall
all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.

24:031:035 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day,
and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by
night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The
LORD of hosts is his name:

24:031:036 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD,
then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation
before me for ever.

24:031:037 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the
foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also
cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,
saith the LORD.

24:031:038 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be
built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of
the corner.

24:031:039 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon
the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

24:031:040 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and
all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of
the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD;
it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

24:032:001 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.

24:032:002 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.

24:032:003 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;

24:032:004 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;

24:032:005 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.

24:032:006 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

24:032:007 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.

24:032:008 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.

24:032:009 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.

24:032:010 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took
witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

24:032:011 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was
sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was
open:

24:032:012 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.

24:032:013 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

24:032:014 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.

24:032:015 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses
and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this
land.

24:032:016 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto
Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,

24:032:017 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:

24:032:018 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,

24:032:019 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:

24:032:020 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;

24:032:021 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;

24:032:022 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their
fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

24:032:023 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:

24:032:024 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.

24:032:025 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.

24:032:026 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

24:032:027 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any
thing too hard for me?

24:032:028 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:

24:032:029 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.

24:032:030 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.

24:032:031 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,

24:032:032 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.

24:032:033 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.

24:032:034 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called
by my name, to defile it.

24:032:035 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.

24:032:036 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;

24:032:037 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:

24:032:038 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

24:032:039 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:

24:032:040 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.

24:032:041 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.

24:032:042 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.

24:032:043 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.

24:032:044 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.

24:033:001 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second
time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison,
saying,

24:033:002 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed
it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;

24:033:003 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and
mighty things, which thou knowest not.

24:033:004 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the
houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of
Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

24:033:005 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them
with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger
and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my
face from this city.

24:033:006 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them,
and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

24:033:007 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of
Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

24:033:008 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they
have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their
iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have
transgressed against me.

24:033:009 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour
before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the
good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for
all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure
unto it.

24:033:010 Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place,
which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast,
even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,
that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and
without beast,

24:033:011 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that
shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for
his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the
sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will
cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first,
saith the LORD.

24:033:012 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is
desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities
thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their
flocks to lie down.

24:033:013 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and
in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and
in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah,
shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that
telleth them, saith the LORD.

24:033:014 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform
that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel
and to the house of Judah.

24:033:015 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute
judgment and righteousness in the land.

24:033:016 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called,
The LORD our righteousness.

24:033:017 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit
upon the throne of the house of Israel;

24:033:018 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to
offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do
sacrifice continually.

24:033:019 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,

24:033:020 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day
and night in their season;

24:033:021 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant,
that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and
with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

24:033:022 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of
the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my
servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

24:033:023 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

24:033:024 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The
two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast
them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should
be no more a nation before them.

24:033:025 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night,
and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and
earth;

24:033:026 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant,
so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the
seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their
captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

24:034:001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the
kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people,
fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof,
saying,

24:034:002 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to
Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

24:034:003 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be
taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall
behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak
with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

24:034:004 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus
saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

24:034:005 But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy
fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall
they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying,
Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

24:034:006 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah
king of Judah in Jerusalem,

24:034:007 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and
against all the cities of Judah that were left, against
Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities
remained of the cities of Judah.

24:034:008 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after
that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people
which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

24:034:009 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his
maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that
none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his
brother.

24:034:010 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had
entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his
manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none
should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed,
and let them go.

24:034:011 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the
handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought
them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

24:034:012 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD,
saying,

24:034:013 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with
your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

24:034:014 At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an
Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath
served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee:
but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their
ear.

24:034:015 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in
proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had
made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my
name:

24:034:016 But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his
servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at
liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into
subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

24:034:017 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me,
in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every
man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you,
saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the
famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the
kingdoms of the earth.

24:034:018 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant,
which have not performed the words of the covenant which they
had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and
passed between the parts thereof,

24:034:019 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the
eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land,
which passed between the parts of the calf;

24:034:020 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into
the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies
shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the
beasts of the earth.

24:034:021 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into
the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek
their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army,
which are gone up from you.

24:034:022 Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to
return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take
it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah
a desolation without an inhabitant.

24:035:001 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

24:035:002 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and
bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the
chambers, and give them wine to drink.

24:035:003 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of
Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole
house of the Rechabites;

24:035:004 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the
chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of
God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above
the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the
door:

24:035:005 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots
full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.

24:035:006 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of
Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no
wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:

24:035:007 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant
vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in
tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be
strangers.

24:035:008 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our
father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all
our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

24:035:009 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we
vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

24:035:010 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done
according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

24:035:011 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came
up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to
Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear
of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.

24:035:012 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

24:035:013 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell
the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not
receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.

24:035:014 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his
sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they
drink none, but obey their father's commandment:
notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and
speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.

24:035:015 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising
up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man
from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after
other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which
I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not
inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
