Jeremiah 42

1 Johanan desireth Jeremiah to enquire of God, promising obedience to his will. 7 Jeremiah assureth him of safety in Judea, 13 and destruction in Egypt. 19 He reproveth their hypocrisy, in requiring of the LORD that which they meant not.

 42:1 ¶ Then all x3605 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 x3605 the people 5971 from the least 6996 x4480 even unto x5704 the greatest, 1419 came near, 5066 z8799

 42:2 And said 559 z8799 unto x413 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet, 5030 Let, we beseech thee, x4994 our supplication 8467 be accepted 5307 z8799 before 6440 thee, and pray 6419 z8690 for x1157 us unto x413 the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 [even] for x1157 all x3605 this x2063 remnant; 7611 (for x3588 we are left 7604 z8738 [but] a few 4592 of many, 7235 z8687 x4480 as x834 thine eyes 5869 do behold 7200 z8802 us:)

 42:3 That the LORD 3068 thy God 430 may show 5046 z8686 us x853 the way 1870 wherein x834 we may walk, y3212 z8799 x1980 and the thing 1697 that x834 we may do. 6213 z8799

 42:4 Then Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, I have heard 8085 z8804 [you]; behold, x2009 I will pray 6419 z8693 unto x413 the LORD 3068 your God 430 according to your words; 1697 and it shall come to pass, x1961 [that] whatsoever x3605 x834 thing 1697 the LORD 3068 shall answer 6030 z8799 you, I will declare 5046 z8686 [it] unto you; I will keep y4513 z0 nothing y1697 back 4513 z8799 x3808 x1697 from x4480 you.

 42:5 Then they x1992 said 559 z8804 to x413 Jeremiah, 3414 The LORD 3068 be x1961 a true 571 and faithful 539 z8737 witness 5707 between us, if x518 we do 6213 z8799 not x3808 even x3651 according to all x3605 things 1697 for the which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall send 7971 z8799 thee to x413 us.

 42:6 Whether x518 [it be] good, 2896 or whether x518 [it be] evil, 7451 we will obey 8085 z8799 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God, 430 to whom x834 we 580 send 7971 z8802 thee; that x4616 x834 it may be well 3190 z8799 with us, when x3588 we obey 8085 z8799 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God. 430

 42:7 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 after 7093 x4480 ten 6235 days, 3117 that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 Jeremiah. 3414

 42:8 Then called 7121 z8799 x413 he Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Kareah, 7143 and all x3605 the captains 8269 of the forces 2428 which x834 [were] with x854 him, and all x3605 the people 5971 from the least 6996 x4480 even to x5704 the greatest, 1419

 42:9 And said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 the God 430 of Israel, 3478 unto x413 whom x834 ye sent 7971 z8804 me to present 5307 z8687 your supplication 8467 before 6440 him;

 42:10 If x518 ye will still y7725 z8800 abide 3427 z8799 x7725 in this x2063 land, 776 then will I build 1129 z8804 you, and not x3808 pull [you] down, 2040 z8799 and I will plant 5193 z8804 you, and not x3808 pluck [you] up: 5428 z8799 for x3588 I repent 5162 z8738 me of x413 the evil 7451 that x834 I have done 6213 z8804 unto you.

 42:11 Be not x408 afraid 3372 z8799 of 6440 x4480 the king 4428 of Babylon, 894 of whom y6440 x834 ye x859 are afraid; y3373 x3372 x4480 x6440 be not x408 afraid 3372 z8799 of x4480 him, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD: 3068 for x3588 I x589 [am] with x854 you to save 3467 z8687 you, and to deliver 5337 z8687 you from his hand. 3027 x4480

 42:12 And I will show 5414 z8799 mercies 7356 unto you, that he may have mercy y7355 z8765 upon x7355 you, and cause you to return 7725 z8689 x853 to x413 your own land. 127

 42:13 ¶ But if x518 ye x859 say, 559 z8802 We will not x3808 dwell 3427 z8799 in this x2063 land, 776 neither x1115 obey 8085 z8800 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God, 430

 42:14 Saying, 559 z8800 No; x3808 but x3588 we will go 935 z8799 into the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 where x834 we shall see 7200 z8799 no x3808 war, 4421 nor x3808 hear 8085 z8799 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 nor x3808 have hunger 7456 z8799 of bread; 3899 and there x8033 will we dwell: 3427 z8799

 42:15 And now x6258 therefore x3651 hear 8085 z8798 the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 ye remnant 7611 of Judah; 3063 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 If x518 ye x859 wholly y7760 z8800 set 7760 z8799 your faces 6440 to enter y935 z8800 into x935 Egypt, 4714 and go 935 z8804 to sojourn 1481 z8800 there; x8033

 42:16 Then it shall come to pass, x1961 [that] the sword, 2719 which x834 ye x859 feared, 3373 x4480 shall overtake 5381 z8686 you there x8033 in the land 776 of Egypt, 4714 and the famine, 7458 whereof x834 ye x859 were afraid, 1672 z8802 x4480 shall follow close 1692 z8799 after 310 you there x8033 in Egypt; 4714 and there x8033 ye shall die. 4191 z8799

 42:17 So shall it be x1961 with all x3605 the men y582 x376 that x834 set 7760 z8804 x853 their faces 6440 to go y935 z8800 into x935 Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 z8800 there; x8033 they shall die 4191 z8799 by the sword, 2719 by the famine, 7458 and by the pestilence: 1698 and none x3808 of them shall x1961 remain 8300 or escape 6412 from 6440 x4480 the evil 7451 that x834 I x589 will bring 935 z8688 upon x5921 them.

 42:18 For x3588 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 the God 430 of Israel; 3478 As x834 mine anger 639 and my fury 2534 hath been poured forth 5413 z8738 upon x5921 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem; 3389 so x3651 shall my fury 2534 be poured forth 5413 z8799 upon x5921 you, when ye shall x1961 enter y935 z8800 into x935 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 z8799 x853 this x2088 place 4725 no x3808 more. x5750

 42:19 ¶ The LORD 3068 hath said 1696 z8765 concerning x5921 you, O ye remnant 7611 of Judah; 3063 Go 935 z8799 ye not x408 into Egypt: 4714 know y3045 z8799 certainly 3045 z8800 that x3588 I have admonished 5749 z8689 you this day. 3117

 42:20 For x3588 ye dissembled 8582 z8689 in your hearts, 5315 when x3588 ye x859 sent 7971 z8804 me unto x413 the LORD 3068 your God, 430 saying, 559 z8800 Pray 6419 z8690 for x1157 us unto x413 the LORD 3068 our God; 430 and according unto all x3605 that x834 the LORD 3068 our God 430 shall say, 559 z8799 so x3651 declare 5046 z8685 unto us, and we will do 6213 z8804 [it].

 42:21 And [now] I have this day 3117 declared 5046 z8686 [it] to you; but ye have not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God, 430 nor any x3605 [thing] for the which x834 he hath sent 7971 z8804 me unto x413 you.

 42:22 Now x6258 therefore know y3045 z8799 certainly 3045 z8800 that x3588 ye shall die 4191 z8799 by the sword, 2719 by the famine, 7458 and by the pestilence, 1698 in the place 4725 whither x834 x8033 ye desire 2654 z8804 to go 935 z8800 [and] to sojourn. 1481 z8800
