Chap. XXI.
note
The prophet answereth the kinges messengers, that Ierusalem shal be punished
with plague, sworde, famine, and captiuitie. note 9. Those shal escape
best that yeld themselues captiues: 11. exhorteth to correct their liues, lest
al be vtterly destroyed.
1 The word that was made to Ieremie from our Lord,
notewhen king Sedecias sent Phassur the sonne of Melchias
vnto him, and Sophonias the sonne of Maasias priest,
saying:
2 Aske our Lord for vs, because Nabuchodonosor the
king of Babylon maketh battel against vs: if perhaps our
Lord shal doe with vs according to al his meruelous workes,
and he may retire backe from vs.
3 And Ieremie said to them:
Thus shal you say to Sedecias:
4 Thus saith our Lord the God
of Israel: Behold I wil conuert the weapons of warre which
are in your handes, and wherewith you fight against the king
of Babylon, and the Chaldees, that besiege you round about
the walles: and I wil gather them together in the middes of
-- --
this citie.
5 And I wil vanquish you in stretched out hand,
and in a strong arme, and in furie, and in indignation, and in
great wrath.
6 And wil strike the inhabitants of this citie, men
and beasts shal dye with a greate pestilence.
7 And after this
saith our Lord: I wil geue Sedecias the king of Iuda, and his
seruants, and his people, & they that are leaft in his citie from
the pestilence, and the sword, and famine, into the hand of
Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of
their enemies, and into the hand of them that seeke their life,
and he wil strike them in the edge of the sword, and he wil
not be moued, nor spare, nor haue mercie.
8 And to this
people thou shalt say: Thus saith our Lord: Behold note I geue
before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 He that
shal dwel within this citie, shal dye with the sword, and with
famine, and pestilence: but he that shal goe forth, and flee to
the Chaldees, that besiege you, shal liue, and his life shal be to
him, as a spoile.
10 For I haue set my face vpon this citie to euil,
and not to good, saith our Lord: it shal be geuen into the hand
of the king of Babylon, & he shal burne it with fire.
11 And to
the house of the king of Iuda, Heare ye the word of our Lord,
12 รด house of Dauid, thus saith our Lord: Iudge ye iudgement
in the morning, & deliuer the oppressed by violence out of the
hand of the oppressour: lest perhaps mine indignation goe
forth as fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quenche it,
because of the malice of your studies.
13 Behold, I to thee inhabitresse
of the firme & champaine valley saith our Lord: which
say: Who shal strike vs? and who shal enter into our houses?
14 And I wil visite vpon you according to the fruite of your
studies, saith our Lord: & I wil kindle a fire in the forest therof:
and it shal deuoure al thinges round aboute it.
