Jeremiah 44

1 Jeremiah expresseth the desolation of Judah for their idolatry. 11 He prophesieth their destruction, who commit idolatry in Egypt. 15 The obstinacy of the Jews. 20 Jeremiah threateneth them for the same, 29 and for a sign prophesieth the destruction of Egypt.

 44:1 ¶ The word 1697 that x834 came x1961 to x413 Jeremiah 3414 concerning x413 all x3605 the Jews 3064 which dwell 3427 z8802 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 which dwell 3427 z8802 at Migdol, 4024 and at Tahpanhes, 8471 and at Noph, 5297 and in the country 776 of Pathros, 6624 saying, 559 z8800

 44:2 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 Ye x859 have seen 7200 z8804 x853 all x3605 the evil 7451 that x834 I have brought 935 z8689 upon x5921 Jerusalem, 3389 and upon x5921 all x3605 the cities 5892 of Judah; 3063 and, behold, x2009 this x2088 day 3117 they [are] a desolation, 2723 and no x369 man dwelleth 3427 z8802 therein,

 44:3 Because 6440 x4480 of their wickedness 7451 which x834 they have committed 6213 z8804 to provoke me to anger, 3707 z8687 in that they went y3212 z8800 x1980 to burn incense, 6999 z8763 [and] to serve 5647 z8800 other 312 gods, 430 whom x834 they knew 3045 z8804 not, x3808 [neither] they, x1992 ye, x859 nor your fathers. 1

 44:4 Howbeit I sent 7971 z8799 unto x413 you x853 all x3605 my servants 5650 the prophets, 5030 rising early 7925 z8687 and sending 7971 z8800 [them], saying, 559 z8800 Oh, x4994 do 6213 z8799 not x408 x853 this x2063 abominable 8441 thing 1697 that x834 I hate. 8130 z8804

 44:5 But they hearkened 8085 z8804 not, x3808 nor x3808 inclined 5186 z8689 x853 their ear 241 to turn 7725 z8800 from their wickedness, 7451 x4480 to burn x6999 no x1115 incense y6999 z8763 unto other 312 gods. 430

 44:6 Wherefore my fury 2534 and mine anger 639 was poured forth, 5413 z8799 and was kindled 1197 z8799 in the cities 5892 of Judah 3063 and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem; 3389 and they are x1961 wasted 2723 [and] desolate, 8077 as at this x2088 day. 3117

 44:7 Therefore now x6258 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 Wherefore x4100 commit 6213 z8802 ye x859 [this] great 1419 evil 7451 against x413 your souls, 5315 to cut off 3772 z8687 from you man 376 and woman, 802 child 5768 and suckling, 3243 z8802 out y8432 of x4480 x8432 Judah, 3063 to leave 3498 z8687 you none x1115 to remain; 7611

 44:8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath 3707 z8687 with the works 4639 of your hands, 3027 burning incense 6999 z8763 unto other 312 gods 430 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 whither x834 x8033 ye x859 be gone 935 z8802 to dwell, 1481 z8800 that x4616 ye might cut yourselves off, 3772 z8687 and that x4616 ye might be x1961 a curse 7045 and a reproach 2781 among all x3605 the nations 1471 of the earth? 776

 44:9 Have ye forgotten 7911 z8804 x853 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 x834 they have committed 6213 z8804 in the land 776 of Judah, 3063 and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem? 3389

 44:10 They are not x3808 humbled 1792 z8795 [even] unto x5704 this x2088 day, 3117 neither x3808 have they feared, 3372 z8804 nor x3808 walked 1980 z8804 in my law, 8451 nor in my statutes, 2708 that x834 I set 5414 z8804 before 6440 you and before 6440 your fathers. 1

 44:11 ¶ Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 Behold, x2009 I will set 7760 z8802 my face 6440 against you for evil, 7451 and to cut off 3772 z8687 x853 all x3605 Judah. 3063

 44:12 And I will take 3947 z8804 x853 the remnant 7611 of Judah, 3063 that x834 have set 7760 z8804 their faces 6440 to go y935 z8800 into x935 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 z8800 there, x8033 and they shall all x3605 be consumed, 8552 z8804 [and] fall 5307 z8799 in the land 776 of Egypt; 4714 they shall [even] be consumed 8552 z8735 by the sword 2719 [and] by the famine: 7458 they shall die, 4191 z8799 from the least 6996 x4480 even unto x5704 the greatest, 1419 by the sword 2719 and by the famine: 7458 and they shall be x1961 an execration, 423 [and] an astonishment, 8047 and a curse, 7045 and a reproach. 2781

 44:13 For I will punish 6485 z8804 x5921 them that dwell 3427 z8802 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 as x834 I have punished 6485 z8804 x5921 Jerusalem, 3389 by the sword, 2719 by the famine, 7458 and by the pestilence: 1698

 44:14 So that none x3808 of the remnant 7611 of Judah, 3063 which are gone 935 z8802 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 z8800 there, x8033 shall x1961 escape 6412 or remain, 8300 that they should return 7725 z8800 into the land 776 of Judah, 3063 to the which x834 they x1992 have y5375 z8764 a desire 5315 x5375 x853 to return 7725 z8800 to dwell 3427 z8800 there: x8033 for x3588 none x3808 shall return 7725 z8799 but x3588 x518 such as shall escape. y6405 x6412

 44:15 ¶ Then all x3605 the men y582 x376 which knew 3045 z8802 that x3588 their wives 802 had burned incense 6999 z8764 unto other 312 gods, 430 and all x3605 the women 802 that stood by, 5975 z8802 a great 1419 multitude, 6951 even all x3605 the people 5971 that dwelt 3427 z8802 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 in Pathros, 6624 answered 6030 z8799 x853 Jeremiah, 3414 saying, 559 z8800

 44:16 [As for] the word 1697 that x834 thou hast spoken 1696 z8765 unto x413 us in the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 we will not x369 hearken 8085 z8802 unto x413 thee.

 44:17 But x3588 we will certainly y6213 z8800 do 6213 z8799 x853 whatsoever x3605 x834 thing 1697 goeth forth 3318 z8804 out of our own mouth, 6310 x4480 to burn incense 6999 z8763 unto the queen 4446 of heaven, 8064 and to pour out 5258 z8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, as x834 we have done, 6213 z8804 we, x587 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 z8799 of victuals, 3899 and were x1961 well, 2896 and saw 7200 z8804 no x3808 evil. 7451

 44:18 But since x4480 x227 we left off 2308 z8804 to burn incense 6999 z8763 to the queen 4446 of heaven, 8064 and to pour out 5258 z8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, we have wanted 2637 z8804 all x3605 [things], and have been consumed 8552 z8804 by the sword 2719 and by the famine. 7458

 44:19 And when x3588 we x587 burned incense 6999 z8764 to the queen 4446 of heaven, 8064 and poured out 5258 z8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, did we make 6213 z8804 her cakes 3561 to worship 6087 z8687 her, and pour out 5258 z8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her, without 1107 x4480 our men? y582 x376

 44:20 ¶ Then Jeremiah 3414 said 559 z8799 unto x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 to x5921 the men, 1397 and to x5921 the women, 802 and to x5921 all x3605 the people 5971 which had given him [that] answer, 1697 6030 z8802 x853 saying, 559 z8800

 44:21 x853 The incense 7002 that x834 ye burned 6999 z8765 in the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and in the streets 2351 of Jerusalem, 3389 ye, x859 and your fathers, 1 your kings, 4428 and your princes, 8269 and the people 5971 of the land, 776 did not x3808 the LORD 3068 remember 2142 z8804 them, and came 5927 z8799 it [not] into x5921 his mind? 3820

 44:22 So that the LORD 3068 could 3201 z8799 no x3808 longer x5750 bear, 5375 z8800 because 6440 x4480 of the evil 7455 of your doings, 4611 [and] because 6440 x4480 of the abominations 8441 which x834 ye have committed; 6213 z8804 therefore is x1961 your land 776 a desolation, 2723 and an astonishment, 8047 and a curse, 7045 without x4480 x369 an inhabitant, 3427 z8802 as at this x2088 day. 3117

 44:23 Because 6440 834 x4480 ye have burned incense, 6999 z8765 and because x834 ye have sinned 2398 z8804 against the LORD, 3068 and have not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 the voice 6963 of the LORD, 3068 nor x3808 walked 1980 z8804 in his law, 8451 nor in his statutes, 2708 nor in his testimonies; 5715 therefore x5921 x3651 this x2063 evil 7451 is happened y7122 z8804 unto x7122 you, as at this x2088 day. 3117

 44:24 Moreover Jeremiah 3414 said 559 z8799 unto x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 and to x413 all x3605 the women, 802 Hear 8085 z8798 the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 all x3605 Judah 3063 that x834 [are] in the land 776 of Egypt: 4714

 44:25 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel, 3478 saying; 559 z8800 Ye x859 and your wives 802 have both spoken 1696 z8762 with your mouths, 6310 and fulfilled 4390 z8765 with your hand, 3027 saying, 559 z8800 We will surely y6213 z8800 perform 6213 z8799 x853 our vows 5088 that x834 we have vowed, 5087 z8804 to burn incense 6999 z8763 to the queen 4446 of heaven, 8064 and to pour out 5258 z8687 drink offerings 5262 unto her: ye will surely y6965 z8687 accomplish 6965 z8686 x853 your vows, 5088 and surely y6213 z8800 perform 6213 z8799 x853 your vows. 5088

 44:26 Therefore x3651 hear 8085 z8798 ye the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 all x3605 Judah 3063 that dwell 3427 z8802 in the land 776 of Egypt; 4714 Behold, x2009 I have sworn 7650 z8738 by my great 1419 name, 8034 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 that my name 8034 shall no x518 more x5750 be x1961 named 7121 z8737 in the mouth 6310 of any x3605 man 376 of Judah 3063 in all x3605 the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 saying, 559 z8802 The Lord 136 GOD 3069 liveth. 2416

 44:27 Behold, x2009 I will watch 8245 z8802 over x5921 them for evil, 7451 and not x3808 for good: 2896 and all x3605 the men 376 of Judah 3063 that x834 [are] in the land 776 of Egypt 4714 shall be consumed 8552 z8804 by the sword 2719 and by the famine, 7458 until x5704 there be an end 3615 z8800 of them.

 44:28 Yet a small 4962 number 4557 that escape 6412 the sword 2719 shall return x7725 out y7725 z8799 of x4480 the land 776 of Egypt 4714 into the land 776 of Judah, 3063 and all x3605 the remnant 7611 of Judah, 3063 that are gone 935 z8802 into the land 776 of Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 z8800 there, x8033 shall know 3045 z8804 whose x4310 words 1697 shall stand, 6965 z8799 mine, x4480 or theirs. x4480

 44:29 ¶ And this x2063 [shall be] a sign 226 unto you, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 that x3588 I x589 will punish 6485 z8802 x5921 you in this x2088 place, 4725 that x4616 ye may know 3045 z8799 that x3588 my words 1697 shall surely y6965 z8800 stand 6965 z8799 against x5921 you for evil: 7451

 44:30 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Behold, x2009 I will give 5414 z8802 x853 Pharaohhophra 6548 king 4428 of Egypt 4714 into the hand 3027 of his enemies, 341 z8802 and into the hand 3027 of them that seek 1245 z8764 his life; 5315 as x834 I gave 5414 z8804 x853 Zedekiah 6667 king 4428 of Judah 3063 into the hand 3027 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon, 894 his enemy, 341 z8802 and that sought 1245 z8764 his life. 5315
