¶ The .xlii. Chapter:
¶ The Captaynes aske councell of Ieremye what
they ought to do. Ieremye monysheth the remna&ubar;t
of the people not to go into Egypte.
A So all the captaynes, ∧ Iohanan þe;
sonne of Kareah, Iezaniah þe; sonne
of Osayah came with all the people
fr&obar; the leest vnto the most, and
sayde vnto Ieremy the prophete. noteO heare
oure peticion, that thou mayest praye for vs
vnto the Lorde thy God, namely, for all the
r&ebar;na&ubar;t, wherof there be very fewe of vs left
of many, as þu; seest vs: þt; the Lorde, thy God
may shew vs a waye to go in, ∧ tell vs, what
we shulde do. Then Ieremy þe; prophet sayde
vnto them: I haue herde you. Behold I will
praye vnto God youre Lorde as ye haue requyred
me: and loke what answere the Lord
geueth you, I shall certifye you therof, and
kepe nothynge back fr&obar; you. And they sayde
vnto Ieremy. noteThe Lord of trueth ∧ faithfulnes
be oure recorde, that we wyll do all þt;
the Lorde thy God commaundeth vs, whether
it be good or euell.
B We wyll herk&ebar; vnto
þe; voyce of oure Lorde God to wh&obar; we sende
the, that we maye prospere, when we haue folowed
the voyce of the Lorde oure God.
And after ten dayes came the worde of
-- --
Lorde vnto Ieremy. Th&ebar; called he Iohanan
the sonne of Kareah, ∧ all the captaynes of þe;
people that were with him: yee, and all the
people from the leest to the moost, and sayde
vnto them: Thus sayeth the Lorde God of
Israel vnto whom ye sent me, to laye forth
your prayers before him: note If ye wyll dwell
in this lande, I shall buylde you vp, and not
breake you downe: I shall pl&abar;te you, and not
rote you out: for &rhand; I repent, as concernynge
the trouble that I haue done to you. Feare
not the kynge of Babylon, of whom ye
st&abar;d in awe, O, be not afrayed of him, sayeth
the Lorde: for I wyll be &wt; you, to helpe you,
and delyuer you from his hande. I wyll pardon
you, I wyll haue mercy vpon you, and
cause him to pytie you, ∧ bringe you agayne
into youre awne lande.
C Neuertheles, yf ye purpose not to dwell
in this lande, ner to folowe the voyce of the
Lorde youre God: but wyll saye thus, we
will not dwell here, but go into Egypt: where
we shal nether se warre, heare the noyse of
the trompe, ner suffre honger, there wyll we
dwell. Wherfore, heare nowe the worde of þe;
Lord, O ye r&ebar;naunt of Iuda. noteThus sayeth
the Lorde of hoostes the God of Israel: If ye
be wholy purposed to go into Egypte, ∧ ye
entre ther to dwell as straungers: note the swearde
þt; ye feared shall ouer take you in Egypte
and þe; honger wherof ye be here afrayed
shall hange vp&obar; you ∧ folowe you into Egypte,
and there ye shall dye. And all they, that
of sett purpose vndertake to go into Egipte
to soiourne there, shall perysh with the swearde,
with honger and pestilence: not one of
them shall remayne, there shall none escape
the plage, that I wyll brynge vpon them.
For thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes the
God of Israel: lyke as my wrath and indygnacyon
is moued agaynst þe; inhabitatours
of Ierusal&ebar;, so shall my displeasure be kyndled
agaynst you also, yf ye go into Egypte: ∧
there ye shalbe reuyled, abhorred, brought to
shame and confusyon: and as for thys place,
ye shall neuer se it more.
D The Lorde forbyddeth
you, O ye remnaunt of Iuda, that ye
shall not go into Egypte.
And forget not that I haue warned you
earnestly this daye, for ye haue dissembled &wt;
me. noteFor ye sent me vnto the Lorde youre
God, and sayde: O praye thou the Lord oure
God for vs: and loke what answere þe; Lorde
oure God geueth the, that bryng vs agayne,
and we shall do therafter. Nowe haue I shewed,
and declared vnto you, but you haue
not obeyed the voyce of the Lord youre God,
for the whych cause he hath sent me to you.
Nowe therfore, note If ye wyll not folowe it,
be sure, that ye shall perishe with þe; swearde,
with honger and pestilence: euen in the same
place, where youre lust is to go, and dwell.
