The word
that came
to Jeremiah
for all
the Jews
living
in the land
of Egypt,
those who were
living
in Migdol,
Tahpanhes,
Memphis,
and the land
of Pathros,
saying,
2
"Thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
'You yourselves
have seen
all
the calamity
that I have brought
on Jerusalem
and
all
the cities
of Judah;
and behold,
this
day
they are in ruins
and no one
lives
in them,
3
because
of their wickedness
which
they committed
so as to provoke Me to anger
by continuing
to burn sacrifices
and to serve
other
gods
whom
they had not known,
neither they, you, nor
your fathers.
4
'
Yet I sent
you all
My servants
the prophets,
again
and
again
,
saying,
"Oh,
do not do
this
abominable
thing
which
I hate."
5
'
But they did not listen
or incline
their ears
to turn
from their wickedness,
so as not to burn sacrifices
to other
gods.
6
'
Therefore My wrath
and My anger
were poured
out and burned
in the cities
of Judah
and in the streets
of Jerusalem,
so they have become
a ruin
and a desolation
as it is this
day.
7
'
Now
then thus
says
the LORD
God
of hosts,
the
God
of Israel,
"Why
are you doing
great
harm
to yourselves,
so as to cut off
from you man
and woman,
child
and infant,
from among
Judah,
leaving
yourselves without
remnant,
8
provoking Me to anger
with the works
of your hands,
burning sacrifices
to other
gods
in the land
of Egypt,
where
you are entering
to reside,
so
that you might be cut off
and become
a curse
and a reproach
among all
the nations
of the earth?
9
"Have you forgotten
the wickedness
of your fathers,
the wickedness
of the kings
of Judah
,
and
the wickedness
of their wives,
your own wickedness,
and
the wickedness
of your wives,
which
they committed
in the land
of Judah
and in the streets
of Jerusalem?
10
"But they have not become contrite
even to this
day,
nor
have they feared
nor
walked
in My law
or My statutes,
which
I have set
before
you and
before
your fathers."'
11
"Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
'Behold,
I am going to set
My face
against you for woe,
even to cut off
all
Judah.
12
And I will take
away the remnant
of Judah
who
have set
their mind
on entering
the land
of Egypt
to reside
there,
and they will all
meet
their end
in
the land
of Egypt
;
they will fall
by the sword
and
meet
their end
by famine.
Both
small
and great
will die
by the sword
and famine;
and they will become
a curse,
an object of horror,
an imprecation
and a reproach.
13
'
And I will punish
those who live
in the land
of Egypt,
as I have punished
Jerusalem,
with the sword,
with famine
and with pestilence.
14
So
there
will be no
refugees
or survivors
for the remnant
of Judah
who have entered
the land
of Egypt
to reside
there
and then
to return
to
the land
of Judah
,
to which
they are longing
to return
and live;
for none
will return
except
a few
refugees
.'"
15
Then all
the men
who were aware
that their wives
were burning sacrifices
to other
gods,
along with all
the women
who were standing
by, as a large
assembly,
including all
the people
who were living
in Pathros
in the land
of Egypt,
responded
to Jeremiah,
saying,
16
"As for the message
that you have spoken
to us in the name
of the LORD,
we are not going to listen
to you!
17
"But rather
we will certainly
carry
out every
word
that has proceeded
from our mouths,
by burning sacrifices
to the queen
of heaven
and pouring
out drink offerings
to her, just
as we ourselves,
our forefathers,
our kings
and our princes
did
in the cities
of Judah
and in the streets
of Jerusalem;
for then we had plenty
of food
and were well off
and saw
no
misfortune.
18
"But since
we stopped
burning sacrifices
to the queen
of heaven
and pouring
out drink offerings
to her, we have lacked
everything
and have met our end
by the sword
and by famine."
19
"And," said the women, "when
we were burning sacrifices
to the queen
of heaven
and were pouring
out drink
offerings
to her, was it without
our husbands
that we made
for her sacrificial cakes
in her image
and poured
out drink
offerings
to her?"
20
Then Jeremiah
said
to all
the people
,
to the men
and women--
even
to all
the people
who were giving
him such an answer--
saying,
21
"As for the smoking sacrifices
that you burned
in the cities
of Judah
and in the streets
of Jerusalem,
you and your forefathers,
your kings
and your princes,
and the people
of the land,
did not the LORD
remember
them and did not all this come
into His mind?
22
"So the LORD
was no
longer
able
to endure
it,
because
of the evil
of your deeds,
because
of the abominations
which
you have committed;
thus your land
has become
a ruin,
an object of horror
and a curse,
without
an inhabitant,
as it is this
day.
23
"Because
you have burned sacrifices
and have sinned
against the LORD
and not obeyed
the voice
of the LORD
or walked
in His law,
His statutes
or His testimonies,
therefore
this
calamity
has befallen
you, as it has
this
day."
24
Then Jeremiah
said
to
all
the people,
including
all
the women,
"Hear
the word
of the LORD,
all
Judah
who
are in the land
of Egypt,
25
thus
says
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
as follows:
'As for you and your wives,
you have spoken
with your mouths
and fulfilled
it with your hands,
saying,
"We will certainly
perform
our vows
that we have vowed,
to burn sacrifices
to the queen
of heaven
and pour
out drink offerings
to her." Go
ahead and confirm
y
our vows
,
and certainly
perform
y
our vows
!'
26
"Nevertheless
hear
the word
of
the LORD,
all
Judah
who are living
in
the land
of Egypt,
'Behold,
I have sworn
by My great
name,'
says
the LORD,
'
never
shall My name
be invoked
again
by the mouth
of any
man
of
Judah
in
all
the land
of Egypt,
saying,
"As the Lord
GOD
lives."
27
'
Behold,
I am watching
over
them for harm
and not for good,
and all
the men
of Judah
who
are in the land
of Egypt
will meet their end
by the sword
and by famine
until
they are completely gone.
28
'
Those who escape
the sword
will return
out of the land
of Egypt
to the land
of Judah
few
in number.
Then all
the remnant
of Judah
who have gone
to the land
of Egypt
to reside
there
will know
whose
word
will stand,
Mine
or theirs.
29
'
This
will be the sign
to you,' declares
the LORD,
'that I am going to punish
you in this
place,
so
that you may know
that My words
will surely
stand
against
you for harm.'
30
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'Behold,
I am going to give
over Pharaoh Hophra
king
of Egypt
to the hand
of his enemies,
to the hand
of those who seek
his life,
just
as I gave
over Zedekiah
king
of Judah
to the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon,
who was his enemy
and was seeking
his life.'"
