44:1 The word 1697 that came to Jeremiah 3414 concerning all the Jews 3064 which dwell 3427 8802 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, which dwell 3427 8802 at Migdol 4024, and at Tahpanhes 8471, and at Noph 5297, and in the country 776 of Pathros 6624, saying 559 8800,

44:2 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Ye have seen 7200 8804 all the evil 7451 that I have brought 935 8689 upon Jerusalem 3389, and upon all the cities 5892 of Judah 3063; and, behold, this day 3117 they [are] a desolation 2723, and no man dwelleth 3427 8802 therein,

44:3 Because 6440 of their wickedness 7451 which they have committed 6213 8804 to provoke me to anger 3707 8687, in that they went 3212 8800 to burn incense 6999 8763, [and] to serve 5647 8800 other 312 gods 430, whom they knew 3045 8804 not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers 1.

44:4 Howbeit I sent 7971 8799 unto you all my servants 5650 the prophets 5030, rising early 7925 8687 and sending 7971 8800 [them], saying 559 8800, Oh, do 6213 8799 not this abominable 8441 thing 1697 that I hate 8130 8804.

44:5 But they hearkened 8085 8804 not, nor inclined 5186 8689 their ear 241 to turn 7725 8800 from their wickedness 7451, to burn no incense 6999 8763 unto other 312 gods 430.

44:6 Wherefore my fury 2534 and mine anger 639 was poured forth 5413 8799, and was kindled 1197 8799 in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389; and they are wasted 2723 [and] desolate 8077, as at this day 3117.

44:7 Therefore now thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Wherefore commit 6213 8802 ye [this] great 1419 evil 7451 against your souls 5315, to cut off 3772 8687 from you man 376 and woman 802, child 5768 and suckling 3243 8802, out 8432 of Judah 3063, to leave 3498 8687 you none to remain 7611;(out…: Heb. out of the midst of Judah)

44:8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath 3707 8687 with the works 4639 of your hands 3027, burning incense 6999 8763 unto other 312 gods 430 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, whither ye be gone 935 8802 to dwell 1481 8800, that ye might cut yourselves off 3772 8687, and that ye might be a curse 7045 and a reproach 2781 among all the nations 1471 of the earth 776?

44:9 Have ye forgotten 7911 8804 the wickedness 7451 of your fathers 1, and the wickedness 7451 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, and the wickedness 7451 of their wives 802, and your own wickedness 7451, and the wickedness 7451 of your wives 802, which they have committed 6213 8804 in the land 776 of Judah 3063, and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389?(wickedness…: Heb. wickednesses, or, punishments, etc)

44:10 They are not humbled 1792 8795 [even] unto this day 3117, neither have they feared 3372 8804, nor walked 1980 8804 in my law 8451, nor in my statutes 2708, that I set 5414 8804 before 6440 you and before 6440 your fathers 1.(humbled: Heb. contrite)

44:11 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Behold, I will set 7760 8802 my face 6440 against you for evil 7451, and to cut off 3772 8687 all Judah 3063.

44:12 And I will take 3947 8804 the remnant 7611 of Judah 3063, that have set 7760 8804 their faces 6440 to go 935 8800 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 8800 there, and they shall all be consumed 8552 8804, [and] fall 5307 8799 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; they shall [even] be consumed 8552 8735 by the sword 2719 [and] by the famine 7458: they shall die 4191 8799, from the least 6996 even unto the greatest 1419, by the sword 2719 and by the famine 7458: and they shall be an execration 423, [and] an astonishment 8047, and a curse 7045, and a reproach 2781.

44:13 For I will punish 6485 8804 them that dwell 3427 8802 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, as I have punished 6485 8804 Jerusalem 3389, by the sword 2719, by the famine 7458, and by the pestilence 1698:

44:14 So that none of the remnant 7611 of Judah 3063, which are gone 935 8802 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 8800 there, shall escape 6412 or remain 8300, that they should return 7725 8800 into the land 776 of Judah 3063, to the which they have 5375 8764 a desire 5315 to return 7725 8800 to dwell 3427 8800 there: for none shall return 7725 8799 but such as shall escape 6405.(have…: Heb. lift up their soul)

44:15 Then all the men 582 which knew 3045 8802 that their wives 802 had burned incense 6999 8764 unto other 312 gods 430, and all the women 802 that stood by 5975 8802, a great 1419 multitude 6951, even all the people 5971 that dwelt 3427 8802 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, in Pathros 6624, answered 6030 8799 Jeremiah 3414, saying 559 8800,

44:16 [As for] the word 1697 that thou hast spoken 1696 8765 unto us in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, we will not hearken 8085 8802 unto thee.

44:17 But we will certainly 6213 8800 do 6213 8799 whatsoever thing 1697 goeth forth 3318 8804 out of our own mouth 6310, to burn incense 6999 8763 unto the queen 4446 of heaven 8064, and to pour out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, as we have done 6213 8804, we, and our fathers 1, our kings 4428, and our princes 8269, in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389: for [then] had we plenty 7646 8799 of victuals 3899, and were well 2896, and saw 7200 8804 no evil 7451.(queen…: or, frame of heaven)(victuals: Heb. bread)

44:18 But since we left off 2308 8804 to burn incense 6999 8763 to the queen 4446 of heaven 8064, and to pour out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, we have wanted 2637 8804 all [things], and have been consumed 8552 8804 by the sword 2719 and by the famine 7458.

44:19 And when we burned incense 6999 8764 to the queen 4446 of heaven 8064, and poured out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, did we make 6213 8804 her cakes 3561 to worship 6087 8687 her, and pour out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, without 1107 our men 582?(men: or, husbands?)

44:20 Then Jeremiah 3414 said 559 8799 unto all the people 5971, to the men 1397, and to the women 802, and to all the people 5971 which had given him [that] answer 1697 6030 8802, saying 559 8800,

44:21 The incense 7002 that ye burned 6999 8765 in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem 3389, ye, and your fathers 1, your kings 4428, and your princes 8269, and the people 5971 of the land 776, did not the LORD 3068 remember 2142 8804 them, and came 5927 8799 it [not] into his mind 3820?

44:22 So that the LORD 3068 could 3201 8799 no longer bear 5375 8800, because 6440 of the evil 7455 of your doings 4611, [and] because 6440 of the abominations 8441 which ye have committed 6213 8804; therefore is your land 776 a desolation 2723, and an astonishment 8047, and a curse 7045, without an inhabitant 3427 8802, as at this day 3117.

44:23 Because 6440 834 ye have burned incense 6999 8765, and because ye have sinned 2398 8804 against the LORD 3068, and have not obeyed 8085 8804 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068, nor walked 1980 8804 in his law 8451, nor in his statutes 2708, nor in his testimonies 5715; therefore this evil 7451 is happened 7122 8804 unto you, as at this day 3117.

44:24 Moreover Jeremiah 3414 said 559 8799 unto all the people 5971, and to all the women 802, Hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, all Judah 3063 that [are] in the land 776 of Egypt 4714:

44:25 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, saying 559 8800; Ye and your wives 802 have both spoken 1696 8762 with your mouths 6310, and fulfilled 4390 8765 with your hand 3027, saying 559 8800, We will surely 6213 8800 perform 6213 8799 our vows 5088 that we have vowed 5087 8804, to burn incense 6999 8763 to the queen 4446 of heaven 8064, and to pour out 5258 8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her: ye will surely 6965 8687 accomplish 6965 8686 your vows 5088, and surely 6213 8800 perform 6213 8799 your vows 5088.

44:26 Therefore hear 8085 8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, all Judah 3063 that dwell 3427 8802 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714; Behold, I have sworn 7650 8738 by my great 1419 name 8034, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, that my name 8034 shall no more be named 7121 8737 in the mouth 6310 of any man 376 of Judah 3063 in all the land 776 of Egypt 4714, saying 559 8802, The Lord 136 GOD 3069 liveth 2416.

44:27 Behold, I will watch 8245 8802 over them for evil 7451, and not for good 2896: and all the men 376 of Judah 3063 that [are] in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 shall be consumed 8552 8804 by the sword 2719 and by the famine 7458, until there be an end 3615 8800 of them.

44:28 Yet a small 4962 number 4557 that escape 6412 the sword 2719 shall return out 7725 8799 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 into the land 776 of Judah 3063, and all the remnant 7611 of Judah 3063, that are gone 935 8802 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 8800 there, shall know 3045 8804 whose words 1697 shall stand 6965 8799, mine, or theirs.(mine…: Heb. from me, or, from them)

44:29 And this [shall be] a sign 226 unto you, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that I will punish 6485 8802 you in this place 4725, that ye may know 3045 8799 that my words 1697 shall surely 6965 8800 stand 6965 8799 against you for evil 7451:

44:30 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Behold, I will give 5414 8802 Pharaohhophra 6548 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 into the hand 3027 of his enemies 341 8802, and into the hand 3027 of them that seek 1245 8764 his life 5315; as I gave 5414 8804 Zedekiah 6667 king 4428 of Judah 3063 into the hand 3027 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894, his enemy 341 8802, and that sought 1245 8764 his life 5315.
