¶ The .xxvij. Chapter.
¶ Ieremy, at the commaundement of the Lorde, sendeth
bondes to the kynge of Iuda, and to the other
kynges that were nye, wherby they are monyshed to
become subiectes vnto Nabuchodonosor. He warneth
the people and þe; kinges and rulars, that they beleue
not false prophetes.
A In the begynninge of the reygne of
Iehoakim the s&obar;ne of Iosiah kyng
of Iuda, came this word vnto Ieremy
from the Lorde, which spake
thus vnto me: Make the bondes and chaynes,
and put them about thy necke, and send
them to the kynge of Edom, to the kynge of
Moab, to the kynge of Ammon, to the king
of Tirus, and to the kynge of Sidon: and
that by the messengers, which shall come to
Ierusalem vnto Zedekiah the kinge of Iuda:
and byd them saye vnto theyr masters:
Thus sayth the Lorde of hostes the God of
Israel: speake thus vnto your masters: note I
am he that made the earth, the men and the
catell that are vpon the grounde, with my
great power and outstretched arme, and haue
geuen it vnto wh&obar; it pleased me. note
B And
now will I delyuer all these landes into the
power of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon note
my seruaunt. The beastes also of the
felde shall I geue hym to do hym seruyce.
noteAnd all people shall serue hym, ∧ hys sonne,
and his childers children, vntill the tyme
of the same l&abar;de become also: yee, many people
and great kinges shall serue him.
Moreouer, that people and kyngdome,
which wyll not serue Nabuchodonosor, and
that wyll not putt theyr neckes vnder the
yocke of the kyng of Babilon: the same people
wyll I vyset with the swearde, with h&obar;ger,
with pestilence, vntyll I haue consumed
them in hys handes, sayeth the Lorde.
noteAnd therfore, folowe not your prophetes,
sothesayers, expounders of dreames, charmers
and wytches: which saye vnto you: ye
shall not serue the kynge of Babylon. For
they preache you lyes: to brynge you farre
from your lande, and that I might cast you
out, and destroye you. But the people that
put theyr neckes vnder the yock of the king
of Babylon, and serue hym, those I will let
remayne styll in their awne lande, sayth the
Lorde, and they shall occupye it, and dwell
therin.
C All these thynges tolde I Zedekiah the
king of Iuda, and sayde: note Put your neckes
vnder the yocke of the king of Babilon, and
serue him and his people, that ye maye lyue.
Why wylt thou and thy people perysh with
the swearde, with honger, with pestylence:
lyke as the Lorde hath deuysed for all people,
that wyll not serue the kynge of Babyl&obar;?
noteTherfore, geue no eare vnto those prophetes,
that tell you: ye shall not serue the
kyng of Babylon: for they preache you lies:
nether haue I sente them, sayeth the Lorde.
Howbeit they are bolde, falsely to prophecy
in my name: that I myght the sooner dryue
you out, and that ye myght peryshe with yo&highr;
preachers. I spake to the prestes also, and to
all the people. Thus sayth the Lorde: Heare
not the wordes of those prophetes, þt; preache
vnto you, and saye: Beholde, note &rhand; the vesselles
of the Lordes house shall shortlye be
brought hyther agayne from Babilon. For
they prophecye lyes vnto you. Heare them
not, but serue the kynge of Babylon, that
ye maye lyue. Wherfore wyll ye make thys
citye to be destroyed? But yf they be true
prophetes in very dede, and yf the worde of
the Lorde be committed vnto them, then let
them praye the Lorde of hostes, that the r&ebar;naunt
of the ornamentes (which are in the
house of the Lorde, and remayne yet in the
house of the kynge of Iuda and at Ierusalem)
be not caryed to Babylon also. For
thus hath the Lorde of hoostes spoken concernynge
the pyllers, the lauer, the seate and
the resydue of the ornamentes that yet remayne
in thys citye, which Nabuchodonosor
the kynge of Babylon toke not, note when
he caryed awaye Iechoniah the sonne of Iehoakim
king of Iuda with all the power of
Iuda and Ierusalem, from Ierusalem vnto
Babylon, captyue.
Yee, thus hath the Lorde of hoostes the
God of Israel spoken, as touchynge the resydue
of the ornamentes of the Lordes house,
of the kynge of Iudaes house, and of Ierusalem.
noteThey shalbe caryed vnto Babilon,
and there they shall remayne &rhand; vntyll
I vyset them, sayth the Lorde. noteThen wyll
I brynge them hyther agayne. And thys
was done in the same yeare, euen in the begynnynge
of the raygne of Zedekiah kynge
of Iuda.
