1
Then all
the commanders
of the forces,
Johanan
the son
of Kareah,
Jezaniah
the son
of Hoshaiah,
and all
the people
both
small
and great
approached
2
and said
to Jeremiah
the prophet,
"Please
let our petition
come
before
you, and pray
for us to the LORD
your God,
that is for all
this
remnant;
because
we are left
but a few
out of many,
as your own eyes
now see
us,
3
that the LORD
your God
may tell
us the way
in which
we should walk
and the thing
that we should do."
4
Then Jeremiah
the prophet
said
to them, "I have heard
you. Behold,
I am going to pray
to
the LORD
your God
in accordance with your words;
and I will tell
you the whole
message
which
the LORD
will answer
you. I will not keep back
a word
from you."
5
Then they said
to Jeremiah,
"May
the LORD
be a true
and faithful
witness
against us if
we do not act
in accordance with the whole
message
with which
the LORD
your God
will send
you to us.
6
"Whether
it is pleasant
or
unpleasant,
we will listen
to the voice
of the LORD
our God
to whom
we are sending
you, so
that it may go well
with us when
we listen
to the voice
of the LORD
our God
."
7
Now at the end
of ten
days
the word
of the LORD
came
to Jeremiah.
8
Then he called
for Johanan
the son
of Kareah
and all
the commanders
of the forces
that were with him, and for all
the people
both
small
and great,
9
and said
to them, "Thus
says
the LORD
the God
of Israel,
to whom
you sent
me to present
your petition
before
Him:
10
'
If
you will indeed
stay
in this
land,
then I will build
you up and not tear you down,
and I will plant
you and not uproot
you; for I will relent
concerning
the calamity
that I have inflicted
on you.
11
Do not be afraid
of the king
of Babylon,
whom
you are now fearing; do not be afraid
of him,' declares
the LORD,
'
for I am with you to save
you and deliver
you from his hand.
12
'
I will also show
you compassion,
so that he will have compassion
on you and restore
you to your own soil.
13
'
But if
you are going to say,
"We will not stay
in this
land,"
so as not to listen
to the voice
of the LORD
your God,
14
saying,
"No,
but we will go
to the land
of Egypt,
where
we will not see
war
or hear
the sound
of a trumpet
or hunger
for bread,
and we will stay
there";
15
then in that case
listen
to the word
of
the LORD
,
O remnant
of Judah.
Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
"If
you really
set
your mind
to enter
Egypt
and go
in to reside
there,
16
then the sword,
which
you are afraid
of, will overtake
you there
in the land
of Egypt;
and the famine,
about
which
you are anxious,
will follow closely
after
you there
in Egypt,
and you will die
there.
17
"So all
the men
who
set
their mind
to go
to Egypt
to reside
there
will die
by the sword,
by famine
and by pestilence;
and they will have
no
survivors
or refugees
from the calamity
that I am going to bring
on them."'"
18
For thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
"As My anger
and wrath
have been poured
out on the inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
so
My wrath
will be poured
out on you when you enter
Egypt.
And you will become
a curse,
an object of horror,
an imprecation
and a reproach;
and you will see
this
place
no
more."
19
The LORD
has spoken
to you, O remnant
of Judah,
"Do not go
into Egypt!"
You should clearly
understand
that today
I have testified
against you.
20
For you have only deceived
yourselves;
for it is you who sent
me to
the LORD
y
our God
,
saying,
"Pray
for us to
the LORD
our God
;
and whatever
the LORD
our God
says,
tell
us so,
and we will do
it."
21
So I have told
you today,
but you have not obeyed
the LORD
your God,
even in whatever
He has sent
me to tell you.
22
Therefore you should now
clearly
understand
that you will die
by the sword,
by famine
and by pestilence,
in the place
where
you wish
to go
to reside.
