Καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἐνάτῳ τοῦ Σεδεκία βασιλέως Ἰούδα παρεγένετο Ναβουχοδονοσὸρ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκουν αὐτήν.

καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐρράγη ἡ πόλις,

καὶ εἰσῆλθον πάντες οἱ ἡγούμενοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐν πύλῃ τῇ μέσῃ, Μαργανασὰρ καὶ Σαμαγὼθ καὶ Ναβουσαχὰρ καὶ Ναβουσαρείς, Ναγαργασνασέρ, Ῥαβαμάθ, καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἡγεμόνες βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.

καὶ ἀπέστειλαν καὶ ¹² ἔλαβον τὸν Ἰερεμίαν ἐξ αὐλῆς τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν πρὸς³ τὸν Γοδολίαν υἱὸν Ἀχεικὰμ υἱοῦ Σαφάν, καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ.

καὶ πρὸς Ἰερεμίαν ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων

Πορεύου καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ Ἰηοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά,

καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν.

ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς· καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ σου εἰς εὕρεμα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπʼ ἐμοί, φησὶν Κύριος.

Jeremiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 46 focus

The word of Yahweh which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

Prepare you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

Why have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don't look back: terror is on every side, says Yahweh.

Don't let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.

Who is this who rises up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and the inhabitants of it.

Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.

For that day is [a day] of the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you.

The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.

The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.

Declare you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say you, Stand forth, and prepare you; for the sword has devoured round about you.

Why are your strong ones swept away? they didn't stand, because Yahweh did drive them.

He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.

They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.

As I live, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

You daughter who dwell in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.

Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.

Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they didn't stand: for the day of their calamity is come on them, the time of their visitation.

The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

They shall cut down her forest, says Yahweh, though it can't be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him:

and I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says Yahweh.

But don't be afraid you, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

Don't be afraid you, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.
