Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 039
039:001
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the
ninth day of the month, the city was broken up
039:002
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in
the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim,
Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the
princes of the king of Babylon
039:003
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw
them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth
out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by
the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the
plain
039:004
But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook
Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken
him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to
Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him
039:005
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah
before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles
of Judah
039:006
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with
chains, to carry him to Babylon
039:007
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of
the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem
039:008
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive
into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the
city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the
rest of the people that remained
039:009
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of
the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave
them vineyards and fields at the same time
039:010
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning
Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying
039:011
Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do
unto him even as he shall say unto thee
039:012
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban,
Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of
Babylon's princes
039:013
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the
prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the
son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt
among the people
039:014
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut
up in the court of the prison, saying
039:015
Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my
words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they
shall be accomplished in that day before thee
039:016
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou
shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art
afraid
039:017
For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the
sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because
thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD
