and a curse, without an inhabitant, as_ at «this xday.
23 Because ye -have_burned_incense, and because ye -haye_sinned against
- |J the Lorp, and shave not obeyed the_
voice_of / the Lorp, nor walked in His law, nor in His statutes, nor in His testimonies; therefore xthis ~xevil -is_ happened unto pou, as_at this day.”
*4 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the -people, and to all the women, “-Hear the_word_of /the Lorp, all Judah that are in the_land_of it:
*>Thus -saith ‘the Lorp of_hosts, the_=God_of Israél, saying; He and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, “We will_surely perform our ‘vows that we -have_vowed, to burn_ incense to the_queen_of “heaven, and to pour_out drink_offerings unto her :’ ye will_surely accomplish your ~yows, and surely perform your ~vyows.
26 Therefore ‘hear ye the_word_of tthe Lorp, all Judah =that dwell in the_land_of Egypt; Behold, I -have_ sworn by My «great name, -saith / the Lorp, that My name shall no more be_ named in the_mouth_of any ‘man_of Judah in all the_land_of Egypt, saying, ‘4 The =Lord 4 Gop liveth.’
27 Behold, I +will_watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the_ imen_of Judah that are in the_land_of Egypt -shall_be_consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be_an_ er.d_of them.
78-Yet a small number that_escape the sword shall_return out_of the_land_ of Egypt into the_land_of Judah, and all the_remnant_of Judah, x-that are_ gone into the_land_of Egypt to sojourn there, -shall_know whose -words shall_
Mine, or theirs. 29 And this shall be a xsign unto you,
- |4saith Jthe Lorp, that E +will_punish
you in «this that My wordsshall_surely stand against you for evil:
80 Thus -saith J the Lorp; Behold, I will +give «Pharaoh-hophra king_of Egypt into the_hand_of his enemies, and into the_hand_of them_that_seek his slife ; 2as I gave -Zedekiah king_of Judah into the_hand_of Nebuchadrez- zar king_of Babylon, his enemy, and that_sought his s life.”
4 THE word that Jeremiah the
prophet spake unto Baruch the_ son_of Neriah, when he had_written xthese xwords in a book at the_mouth_ of Jeremiah, in the fourth xyear of Jehoiakim the_son_of Josiah king_of Judah, saying,
2 “Thus -saith ‘the Lorp, the_=God_ of Israél, unto thee, O_Baruch ;
3 Thou didst_say, ‘Woe is me now! for ‘the Lorp -hath_added grief to my sorrow ; I «fainted in my sighing, and I -find no rest.’
4 Thus shalt_thou_say unto him,/ The Lorp «saith thus; Behold, that which £ -have_built swill_I_break_down, and ethat which I -have_planted ¥ -will_ pluck_up, even this -whole
5 And tseekest then great_things for
thyself? ‘seek them not: for, behold, I +will_bring evil upon all flesh, «saith Jthe Lorp: but thy «~life -will_I_give unto thee for a prey in all ~places whither thou 'goest.”
4 THE_word_of ‘the Lorp which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
inst Egypt, against the_army_ of Pharaoh-necho king_of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carche- mish, which Nebue ezzar king_of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the_son_of Josiah king_of Judah. 3 “.Order ye the buckler and shiek And -draw_near to xbattle. - +-Harness the horses ; and *get_up, ye horsemen, And -stand_forth with your hel- Imets ; -Furbish the spears, and -put_on the ¢ brigandines. 5 Wherefore -have_I_seen them dis- mayed and turned_away back ? And their mighty_ones ae beaten_ down, And are fied apace, and -look not back :
For fear was round_about, -saith J the Lorp:
6 Let: not the swift flee_away,
Nor the mighty_man escape;
They -shall_stumble, and -fall to- ward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Who is this that tcometh_up as a xflood,
Whose waters tare_moved as the rivers?
8 Egypt ‘riseth_up like a ~flood,
And his waters ‘are_moved like the rivers ;
And he saith, I will_go_up, and will_ecover the earth ;
I will_destroy the city and the in- habitants thereof.
