¶ The .xxxiiii. Chapter.
¶ He threateneth that the cytie, and the kynge Zedekiah
also, shalbe geuen into the handes of the kynge
of Babylon. He rebuketh them that brought soche
of theyr brethren into captiuitie, as were pardoned
to go at theyr libertye.
A These are the wordes which þe; Lord
spake vnto Ieremy note what tyme
as Nabuchodonosor the kynge of
Babylon, ∧ all his Hostes (out of
all the kingdomes þt; were vnder his power)
∧ all hys people, fought agaynst Ierusalem
and all the cyties therof. Thus sayeth þe; Lorde
God of Israel: Goo, ∧ speake to Zedekiah
the kynge of Iuda, and tell hym. The Lorde
sendeth the thys worde: Beholde, note I wyll
delyuer thys cytie into the hande of the kyng
of Babylon, he shall burne it, and thou shalt
not escape hys h&abar;des, but shalt be led awaye
presoner, &abar;d deliuered into his power. Thou
shalt loke the kynge of Babylon in the face,
and he shal speake with the, mouth to mouth
and then shalt thou goo to Babilon. Yet heare
the worde of the Lorde, O Zedekiah thou
kynge of Iuda: Thus sayeth the Lorde vnto
the. Thou shalt not be slayne with þe; swearde,
but shalt dye in peace. noteLyke as thy
fore fathers the kynges, thy progenitours,
were brente: so shalt thou be br&ebar;t also, and in
thy mourninge they shall saye: oh Lord. For
thus haue I determyned, sayeth the Lorde.
Then spake Ieremy the prophet all these
wordes vnto Zedekiah kynge of Iuda in
Ierusalem:
B what tyme as the kynge of Babylons
hooste beseged Ierusalem, and the r&ebar;na&ubar;t
of the cyties. Namely, Lachis and Azecach,
which yet remayned of þe; note stronge defensed
cyties of Iuda.
These are the wordes that the Lord spake
vnto Ieremy the prophete, when Zedekiah
was agreed with all the people at Ierusal&ebar;,
that there shulde be proclamed note a libertie: so
that euery m&abar; shuld let his seruaunt ∧ handmayde
go fre, Hebrue and Hebruesse, and no
Iewe to holde hys brother as a bonde man.
Nowe as they had consented, all the princes
and all the people which had gathered vnto
this agrem&ebar;t that euery m&abar; shulde set at lybertie
his b&obar;de seruaunte and bonde woman
and no longer to holde them bonde euen so
they were obedi&ebar;t, ∧ let them go free. But afterwarde
they repented, and toke agayne the
seruauntes and hande maydens, whom they
had lett go free, and so made th&ebar; b&obar;de againe.
C For the which cause the worde of þe; Lorde
came vnto Ieremye fr&obar; the Lorde hym selfe,
sayinge: Thus sayeth þe; Lord God of Israel:
note I made a couenaunt with youre fathers,
wh&ebar; I brought th&ebar; out of Egypt, (that they
shulde no more be bondmen) sayinge. When
seu&ebar; yeares are oute, euery man shall let hys
bought serua&ubar;te an Hebrue go fre, yf he haue
serued hym syxe yeares. But youre fathers
obeyed me not ∧ herkened not vnto me. As
for you, ye were nowe turned, ∧ did right before
me, in that ye proclamed, euerym&abar; to let
his neighboure go free, and in that ye made a
couena&ubar;t before me, in the t&ebar;ple that beareth
my name. But yet ye haue turned youre selues
agayne, and blasphemed my name. In
this, þt; euery man hath requyred his serua&ubar;t
∧ h&abar;dmayd&ebar; agayne, wh&obar; ye had let go quyte
and fre, ∧ c&obar;pelled th&ebar; to serue you agayne,
and to be youre b&obar;de men, and bondwemen.
And therfore thus sayeth the Lorde: ye haue
not obeyed me, euery man to proclame fredome
-- --
vnto his brother ∧ neyghboure: wherfore,
&rhand; I wyll call you vnto a fredome,
sayeth the Lord: euen vnto the swearde, to þe;
pestilence, ∧ to honger, ∧ will make you to be
plaged in all the kyngdomes of the earth.
Yee, those men þt; haue broken my couena&ubar;t,
∧ not kepte the wordes of the appoyntem&ebar;t,
which they made before me: note &rhand; wh&ebar; they
hewed the calfe in two, ∧ when there wente
thorowe the two halfes therof: The Prynces
of Iuda, the Princes of Ierusalem, the gelded
men, the Prestes and all the people of the
lande, which wente thorowe the two sydes
of the calfe. Those men wyll I geue into the
power of theyr enemies, ∧ into the handes of
them that folowe vpon theyr lyues.
noteAnd their deed bodies shalbe meate for
the foules of the ayre, ∧ beastes of the felde.
As for Zedekiah the kynge of Iuda and hys
Prynces, I wyll delyuer th&ebar; into the power
of their enemyes, and of them that desyre to
slaye them, and into the hande of the kynge
of Babylons hoste note &rhand; which nowe is departed
from you: But thorow my comma&ubar;dement
(sayeth the Lorde) they shal come agayne
before thys cytye, they shall fyght agaynst
it, wynne it, and burne it: Moreouer,
I wyll laye the cyties of Iuda so waste, that
no man shall dwell therin.
