¶ The .xliiij. Chapter.
¶ He reproueth the people for theyr ydolatrye.
they that set lyght by the threatyng of þe; Lorde
are chastened. The destruccyon of Egipte and
the Iewes therin is prophecyed.
A This is the worde that was shewed
to Ieremy, concernyng all the Iewes:
which dwelt in Egypte: at
Migdol, at Taphnis, at Noph, ∧
in the lande of Patures. Thus sayethe the
Lorde of hostes, the God of Israel: Ye haue
sene all the misery, that I haue brought vp&obar;
Ierusalem, and vpon the cityes of Iuda: so
that thys daye they are desolate, and no
man dwellynge therin: and that because of
the greate blasphemies which they committed,
to prouoke me vnto anger. In that they
went backe to do sacrifyce and worship vnto
straunge goddes: whom nether ye, ner
youre fathers haue knowne. Howebeit, I
sent vnto them my seruauntes all the prophetes.
noteI rose vp early, I sent vnto them,
and gaue them warnyng. O do no soche abhominable
thynges, ∧ thynges that I hate.
But they wolde not folowe ner herken, to
turne from their wickednes, ∧ to do nomore
sacrifyces vnto straunge goddes.
B Wherfore myne indignation and wrath
was kyndled, and it brente vp the cytyes of
Iuda, the feldes with the stretes of Ierusalem,
so that they were made waste and desolate,
as it is come to passe thys daye. Nowe
therfore, thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes, the
God of Israel: Howe happeneth it, that ye
do so greate euyll vnto youre awne soules:
thus to destroye the men and wemen, chyldren
and babes of Iuda? so that none of you
is lefte, because ye prouoke me vnto wrathe
with the worckes of youre awne handes:
when ye offer vnto straunge goddes in the
l&abar;de of Egipt, where as ye be gone to dwell.
That ye myght vtterly peryshe, and that ye
myght be reuyled and shamefully intreated
of all natyons. Or haue ye nowe forgotten
the wickednes of your forefathers, the wickednes
of the kinges of Iuda and their wyues,
the wyckednes that ye youre selues and
youre wyues haue done in the lande of Iuda,
in the cytie and in the lande of Ierusal&ebar;.
C Yet are ye not sory vnto this daye, ye feare
not, nether walke ye in my lawe and &ibar; my
commaundementes, that I haue geuen vnto
you and youre forefathers.
Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes,
the God of Israel: I am stedfastly aduised
and determyned to punysshe you, ∧ to
rote out all Iuda. As for the remnaunt of
Iuda, that purposly wente into Egipt, ther
to dwell, I wyll take them, note and they shall
all be destroyed. In the lande of Egypt shall
they perysshe, beynge consumed with the
swearde and with honger. For from the leest
vnto the moost, they shall perysshe with the
swearde and with honger. Moreouer, they
shalbe reuyled, abhorred, shamed, and confounded.
For I wyll viset them that dwell
in Egypte, note as I haue visyted Ierusalem,
with the swearde, with honger and with pestilence.
So that none of the remna&ubar;t of Iuda,
which are gone to dwell in Egipte, shall
be left to come agayne into the lande of Iuda
all though they thynke to come thyther agayne,
and to dwell there. For none shall come
agayne, but soch as are fledd awaye.
D Then all the m&ebar; which knewe that their
wyues had offred vnto stra&ubar;ge goddes, and
a greate sorte of wyues that stode there, yee,
and all the people that dwelt there in Egipt
in the cytie of Patures, answerde Ieremye,
and sayde: As for the wordes that thou hast
spoken vnto vs, in the name of the Lorde,
we wyll in no wyse heare them: but whatsoeuer
goeth out of oure awne mouthe, that
we wyll do. We wyll do sacrifyce and offer
oblatyons vnto the quene of heauen, note lyke
as we and our forefathers, oure kynges and
oure heades haue done in the cytie of Iuda,
and in the stretes and feldes of Ierusalem.
For then had we plenteousnes of vitayles,
then were we in prosperyte, and no mysfortune
came vpon vs.
E noteBut sens we left to burne incense, and to
do sacrifyce vnto the quene of heauen, we
haue had scarcenesse of all thynges, and perisshe
with the swearde and honger. Last of
all, when we wemen dyd sacrifyce and offered
vnto the quene of heauen, dyd we make
her cakes and poure vnto her drinckofferinges,
eu&ebar; to that ymage dyd we sacrifyce and
seruice, without oure husbandes wylles?
Then sayde Ieremy vnto all the people,
to the men, to the wemen, and to all the folke,
which had geuen him that answere: Dyd
not the Lorde remember the sacrifyces that
ye, youre forefathers, youre kynges and rulers,
with all the people, haue offered in the
cyties of Iuda, in the stretes and l&abar;de of Ierusalem?
and hath he not consydered thys in
his mynde? In somoch that the Lorde might
no longer suffer the wyckednes of youre inuencyons,
and the abhomynable thynges,
which ye dyd? noteIs not youre lande desolate
and voyde: yee, abhorred and accursed, so
that no man dwelleth therein eny more, as it
is come to passe thys daye?
F noteDyd not all thys happen vnto you, because
ye made soch sacrifyces to ydols, and
synned agaynst the Lorde. noteYe haue not folowed
hys voyce, to walke in hys lawe, in
his ordynaunces and statutes.
Yee, this is the cause, that all misfortune
happened vnto you, as it is come to passe
this daye. Moreouer, Ieremy spake vnto all
the people and to all the wemen. Heare the
worde of the Lorde all Iuda, ye that be in
-- --
the lande of Egipt. Thus sayth the Lord of
hoostes the God of Israel. Ye and your wyues
haue spoken with youre awne mouth, þe;
thinge that ye haue fulfylled in dede.
noteYee, thus haue ye sayde: We wyll nott
fayle, but perfourme the vowes that we haue
vowed, we will do sacrifyce ∧ powre out
drinckofferinges to the quene of heau&ebar;. Purposly
wyll ye set vp your awne meanynges
and perfourme your vowes. And therfore,
heare the wordes of the Lorde, all Iuda, ye
that dwell in the lande of Egipte.
G Beholde, note I haue sworne by my greate
name, sayth the Lorde: that my name shall
not be rehearsed thorowe eny mans mouthe
of Iuda, in all the lande of Egipte, to saye:
The Lorde God lyueth, for I wyll watche,
to plage them, and not for theyr wealthe.
noteAnd all the men of Iuda that be in the l&abar;de
of Egypte shall peryshe with the swearde,
and with honger, vntyll they be vtterly destroyed.
Neuertheles, those that fledd awaye
for the swearde, shall come agayne into the
lande of Iuda: but there shall be very feawe
of them. And all the remna&ubar;t of Iuda, that
are gone into Egypte, there to dwell, shall
knowe whose wordes shall be founde true:
theyrs or myne. Take thys for a token that
I wyll viset you in this place, sayth þe; Lord:
and that ye maye knowe þt; I (without doubte)
will perfourme my purpose vpon you
to punyshe you. Beholde, sayth the Lorde,
I wyll delyuer Pharao Hophrea kynge of
Egipte into the handes of his enemyes that
seke after his lyfe: note euen as I gaue Zedekias
the king of Iuda, into the handes of Nabuchodonosor
kynge of Babilon hys enemye
which sought after his lyfe.
