42:1 Then all the captains 8269 of the forces 2428, and Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143, and Jezaniah 3153 the son 1121 of Hoshaiah 1955, and all the people 5971 from the least 6996 even unto the greatest 1419, came near 5066 8799,

42:2 And said 559 8799 unto Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication 8467 be accepted 5307 8799 before 6440 thee, and pray 6419 8690 for us unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430, [even] for all this remnant 7611; (for we are left 7604 8738 [but] a few 4592 of many 7235 8687, as thine eyes 5869 do behold 7200 8802 us:)(Let…: or, Let our supplication fall before thee)

42:3 That the LORD 3068 thy God 430 may shew 5046 8686 us the way 1870 wherein we may walk 3212 8799, and the thing 1697 that we may do 6213 8799.

42:4 Then Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 said 559 8799 unto them, I have heard 8085 8804 [you]; behold, I will pray 6419 8693 unto the LORD 3068 your God 430 according to your words 1697; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing 1697 the LORD 3068 shall answer 6030 8799 you, I will declare 5046 8686 [it] unto you; I will keep 4513 0 nothing 1697 back 4513 8799 from you.

42:5 Then they said 559 8804 to Jeremiah 3414, The LORD 3068 be a true 571 and faithful 539 8737 witness 5707 between us, if we do 6213 8799 not even according to all things 1697 for the which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall send 7971 8799 thee to us.

42:6 Whether [it be] good 2896, or whether [it be] evil 7451, we will obey 8085 8799 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, to whom we 580 send 7971 8802 thee; that it may be well 3190 8799 with us, when we obey 8085 8799 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430.

42:7 And it came to pass after 7093 ten 6235 days 3117, that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Jeremiah 3414.

42:8 Then called 7121 8799 he Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Kareah 7143, and all the captains 8269 of the forces 2428 which [were] with him, and all the people 5971 from the least 6996 even to the greatest 1419,

42:9 And said 559 8799 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, unto whom ye sent 7971 8804 me to present 5307 8687 your supplication 8467 before 6440 him;

42:10 If ye will still 7725 8800 abide 3427 8799 in this land 776, then will I build 1129 8804 you, and not pull [you] down 2040 8799, and I will plant 5193 8804 you, and not pluck [you] up 5428 8799: for I repent 5162 8738 me of the evil 7451 that I have done 6213 8804 unto you.

42:11 Be not afraid 3372 8799 of 6440 the king 4428 of Babylon 894, of whom 6440 ye are afraid 3373; be not afraid 3372 8799 of him, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068: for I [am] with you to save 3467 8687 you, and to deliver 5337 8687 you from his hand 3027.

42:12 And I will shew 5414 8799 mercies 7356 unto you, that he may have mercy 7355 8765 upon you, and cause you to return 7725 8689 to your own land 127.

42:13 But if ye say 559 8802, We will not dwell 3427 8799 in this land 776, neither obey 8085 8800 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430,

42:14 Saying 559 8800, No; but we will go 935 8799 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714, where we shall see 7200 8799 no war 4421, nor hear 8085 8799 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, nor have hunger 7456 8799 of bread 3899; and there will we dwell 3427 8799:

42:15 And now therefore hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, ye remnant 7611 of Judah 3063; Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; If ye wholly 7760 8800 set 7760 8799 your faces 6440 to enter 935 8800 into Egypt 4714, and go 935 8804 to sojourn 1481 8800 there;

42:16 Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword 2719, which ye feared 3373, shall overtake 5381 8686 you there in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the famine 7458, whereof ye were afraid 1672 8802, shall follow close 1692 8799 after 310 you there in Egypt 4714; and there ye shall die 4191 8799.(shall follow…: Heb. shall cleave after you)

42:17 So shall it be with all the men 582 that set 7760 8804 their faces 6440 to go 935 8800 into Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 8800 there; they shall die 4191 8799 by the sword 2719, by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698: and none of them shall remain 8300 or escape 6412 from 6440 the evil 7451 that I will bring 935 8688 upon them.(So…: Heb. So shall all the men be)

42:18 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; As mine anger 639 and my fury 2534 hath been poured forth 5413 8738 upon the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389; so shall my fury 2534 be poured forth 5413 8799 upon you, when ye shall enter 935 8800 into Egypt 4714: and ye shall be an execration 423, and an astonishment 8047, and a curse 7045, and a reproach 2781; and ye shall see 7200 8799 this place 4725 no more.

42:19 The LORD 3068 hath said 1696 8765 concerning you, O ye remnant 7611 of Judah 3063; Go 935 8799 ye not into Egypt 4714: know 3045 8799 certainly 3045 8800 that I have admonished 5749 8689 you this day 3117.(admonished…: Heb. testified against you)

42:20 For ye dissembled 8582 8689 in your hearts 5315, when ye sent 7971 8804 me unto the LORD 3068 your God 430, saying 559 8800, Pray 6419 8690 for us unto the LORD 3068 our God 430; and according unto all that the LORD 3068 our God 430 shall say 559 8799, so declare 5046 8685 unto us, and we will do 6213 8804 [it].(ye dissembled…: or, ye have used deceit against your souls)

42:21 And [now] I have this day 3117 declared 5046 8686 [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed 8085 8804 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, nor any [thing] for the which he hath sent 7971 8804 me unto you.

42:22 Now therefore know 3045 8799 certainly 3045 8800 that ye shall die 4191 8799 by the sword 2719, by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698, in the place 4725 whither ye desire 2654 8804 to go 935 8800 [and] to sojourn 1481 8800.(to go…: or, to go to sojourn)
