Then all the captains
of the forces,
and Johanan
the son
of Kareah,
and Jezaniah
the son
of Hoshaiah,
and all the people
from the least
even unto the greatest,
came near,
And said
unto Jeremiah
the prophet,
Let, we beseech thee, our supplication
be accepted
before
thee, and pray
for us unto the LORD
thy God,
even for all this remnant;
(for we are left
but a few
of many,
as thine eyes
do behold
us:)
say
That the LORD
thy God
may shew
us the way
wherein we may walk,
and the thing
that we may do.
Then Jeremiah
the prophet
said
unto them, I have heard
you; behold, I will pray
unto the LORD
your God
according to your words;
and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing
the LORD
shall answer
you, I will declare
it unto you; I will keep
nothing
back
from you.

Then they said
to Jeremiah,
The LORD
be a true
and faithful
witness
between us, if we do
not even according to all things
for the which the LORD
thy God
shall send
thee to us.
say
Whether it be good,
or whether it be evil,
we will obey
the voice
of the LORD
our God,
to whom we
send
thee; that it may be well
with us, when we obey
the voice
of the LORD
our God.

And it came to pass after
ten
days,
that the word
of the LORD
came unto Jeremiah.
Then called
he Johanan
the son
of Kareah,
and all the captains
of the forces
which were with him, and all the people
from the least
even to the greatest,
And said
unto them, Thus saith
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
unto whom ye sent
me to present
your supplication
before
him;
If ye will still
abide
in this land,
then will I build
you, and not pull you down,
and I will plant
you, and not pluck you up:
for I repent
me of the evil
that I have done
unto you.

Be not afraid
of
the king
of Babylon,
of whom
ye are afraid;
be not afraid
of him, saith
the LORD:
for I am with you to save
you, and to deliver
you from his hand.
And I will shew
mercies
unto you, that he may have mercy
upon you, and cause you to return
to your own land.
But if ye say,
We will not dwell
in this land,
neither obey
the voice
of the LORD
your God,
Saying,
No; but we will go
into the land
of Egypt,
where we shall see
no war,
nor hear
the sound
of the trumpet,
nor have hunger
of bread;
and there will we dwell:
And now therefore hear
the word
of the LORD,
ye remnant
of Judah;
Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel;
If ye wholly
set
your faces
to enter
into Egypt,
and go
to sojourn
there;
Then it shall come to pass, that the sword,
which ye feared,
shall overtake
you there in the land
of Egypt,
and the famine,
whereof ye were afraid,
shall follow close
after
you there in Egypt;
and there ye shall die.
So shall it be with all the men
that set
their faces
to go
into Egypt
to sojourn
there; they shall die
by the sword,
by the famine,
and by the pestilence:
and none of them shall remain
or escape
from
the evil
that I will bring
upon them.
For thus saith
the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel;
As mine anger
and my fury
hath been poured forth
upon the inhabitants
of Jerusalem;
so shall my fury
be poured forth
upon you, when ye shall enter
into Egypt:
and ye shall be an execration,
and an astonishment,
and a curse,
and a reproach;
and ye shall see
this place
no more.

The LORD
hath said
concerning you, O ye remnant
of Judah;
Go
ye not into Egypt:
know
certainly
that I have admonished
you this day.
For ye dissembled
in your hearts,
when ye sent
me unto the LORD
your God,
saying,
Pray
for us unto the LORD
our God;
and according unto all that the LORD
our God
shall say,
so declare
unto us, and we will do
it.

And now I have this day
declared
it to you; but ye have not obeyed
the voice
of the LORD
your God,
nor any thing for the which he hath sent
me unto you.
Now therefore know
certainly
that ye shall die
by the sword,
by the famine,
and by the pestilence,
in the place
whither ye desire
to go
and to sojourn.
