Jeremiah 34

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

34:2

Thus said the Lord; Make to thyself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about thy neck,

^27:2 This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.

34:3

and thou shalt send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.

^27:3 Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

34:4

And thou shalt commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your lords;

^27:4 Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:

34:5

I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whomsoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.

^27:5 By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.

34:6

I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labour for him.

^27:6 So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.

34:8

And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, saith the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.

^27:8 As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.

34:9

And hearken ye not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretel events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, Ye shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:

^27:9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’

34:10

for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.

^27:10 For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.

34:11

But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.

^27:11 But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”

34:12

I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke],

^27:12 And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!

34:14

and serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,

^27:14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.

34:15

for I sent them not, saith the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and ye should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.

^27:15 For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”

34:16

I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words]. I sent them not.

^27:16 Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.

34:18

If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.

^27:18 If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.

34:19

And as for the remaining vessels,

^27:19 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,

34:20

which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,

^27:20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

34:22

they shall go into Babylon, saith the Lord.

^27:22 ‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
