Jeremiah 32:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the tenth year that Zedekiah was ruling over Judah the LORD spoke to Jeremiah. That was the same as the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 32:2 Now at that time, the armies of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem. The prophet Jeremiah was confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse attached to the royal palace of Judah.
2 vnumber="2">
3 For King Zedekiah had confined Jeremiah there after he had reproved him for prophesying as he did. He had asked Jeremiah, "Why do you keep prophesying these things? Why do you keep saying that the LORD says, 'I will hand this city over to the king of Babylon? I will let him capture it.
4 King Zedekiah of Judah will not escape from the Babylonians. He will certainly be handed over to the king of Babylon. He must answer personally to the king of Babylon and confront him face to face.
5 Zedekiah will be carried off to Babylon and will remain there until I have fully dealt with him. I, the LORD, affirm it! Even if you continue to fight against the Babylonians, you cannot win.'"
6 So now, Jeremiah said, "The LORD told me,
7 'Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, will come to you soon. He will say to you, "Buy my field at Anathoth because you are entitled as my closest relative to buy it."'
8 Now it happened just as the LORD had said! My cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guardhouse. He said to me, 'Buy my field which is at Anathoth in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. Buy it for yourself since you are entitled as my closest relative to take possession of it for yourself.' When this happened, I recognized that the LORD had indeed spoken to me.
9 So I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seven ounces of silver and gave it to him to pay for it.
10 I signed the deed of purchase, sealed it, and had some men serve as witnesses to the purchase. I weighed out the silver for him on a scale.
11 There were two copies of the deed of purchase. One was sealed and contained the order of transfer and the conditions of purchase. The other was left unsealed.
12 I took both copies of the deed of purchase and gave them to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah. I gave them to him in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the deed of purchase, and all the Judeans who were housed in the courtyard of the guardhouse.
13 In the presence of all these people I instructed Baruch,
14 'The LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, "Take these documents, both the sealed copy of the deed of purchase and the unsealed copy. Put them in a clay jar so that they may be preserved for a long time to come."'
15 For the LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, "Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land."'
16 "After I had given the copies of the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD,
17 'Oh, Lord GOD, you did indeed make heaven and earth by your mighty power and great strength. Nothing is too hard for you!
18 You show unfailing love to thousands. But you also punish children for the sins of their parents. You are the great and powerful God who is known as the LORD who rules over all.
19 You plan great things and you do mighty deeds. You see everything people do. You reward each of them for the way they live and for the things they do.
20 You did miracles and amazing deeds in the land of Egypt which have had lasting effect. By this means you gained both in Israel and among humankind a renown that lasts to this day.
21 You used your mighty power and your great strength to perform miracles and amazing deeds and to bring great terror on the Egyptians. By this means you brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt.
22 You kept the promise that you swore on oath to their ancestors. You gave them a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 But when they came in and took possession of it, they did not obey you or live as you had instructed them. They did not do anything that you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster on them.
24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city in order to capture it. War, starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. LORD, you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.
25 The city is sure to fall into the hands of the Babylonians. Yet, in spite of this, you, Lord GOD, have said to me, "Buy that field with silver and have the transaction legally witnessed."'"
26 The LORD answered Jeremiah.
27 "I am the LORD, the God of all humankind. There is, indeed, nothing too difficult for me.
28 Therefore I, the LORD, say: 'I will indeed hand this city over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonian army. They will capture it.
29 The Babylonian soldiers that are attacking this city will break into it and set it on fire. They will burn it down along with the houses where people have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods on their rooftops.
30 This will happen because the people of Israel and Judah have repeatedly done what displeases me from their earliest history until now and because they have repeatedly made me angry by the things they have done. I, the LORD, affirm it!
31 This will happen because the people of this city have aroused my anger and my wrath since the time they built it until now. They have made me so angry that I am determined to remove it from my sight.
32 I am determined to do so because the people of Israel and Judah have made me angry with all their wickedness� they, their kings, their officials, their priests, their prophets, and especially the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem have done this wickedness.
33 They have turned away from me instead of turning to me. I tried over and over again to instruct them, but they did not listen and respond to correction.
34 They set up their disgusting idols in the temple which I have claimed for my own and defiled it.
35 They built places of worship for the god Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they could sacrifice their sons and daughters to the god Molech. Such a disgusting practice was not something I commanded them to do! It never even entered my mind to command them to do such a thing! So Judah is certainly liable for punishment.'
36 "You and your people are right in saying, 'War, starvation, and disease are sure to make this city fall into the hands of the king of Babylon.' But now I, the LORD God of Israel, have something further to say about this city:
37 'I will certainly regather my people from all the countries where I will have exiled them in my anger, fury, and great wrath. I will bring them back to this place and allow them to live here in safety.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 I will give them a single-minded purpose to live in a way that always shows respect for me. They will want to do that for their own good and the good of the children who descend from them.
40 I will make a lasting covenant with them that I will never stop doing good to them. I will fill their hearts and minds with respect for me so that they will never again turn away from me.
41 I will take delight in doing good to them. I will faithfully and wholeheartedly plant them firmly in the land.'
42 "For I, the LORD, say: 'I will surely bring on these people all the good fortune that I am hereby promising them. I will be just as sure to do that as I have been in bringing all this great disaster on them.
43 You and your people are saying that this land will become desolate, uninhabited by either people or animals. You are saying that it will be handed over to the Babylonians. But fields will again be bought in this land.
44 Fields will again be bought with silver, and deeds of purchase signed, sealed, and witnessed. This will happen in the territory of Benjamin, the villages surrounding Jerusalem, the towns in Judah, the southern hill country, the western foothills, and southern Judah. For I will restore them to their land. I, the LORD, affirm it!'"
1 The word H1697 that H834 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 in the tenth H6224 year H8141 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 which H1931 was the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar. H5019
2 For then H227 the king H4428 of Babylon's H894 army H2428 besieged H6696 H5921 Jerusalem: H3389 and Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 was H1961 shut up H3607 in the court H2691 of the prison, H4307 which H834 was in the king H4428 of Judah's H3063 house. H1004
3 For H834 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 had shut him up, H3607 saying, H559 Wherefore H4069 dost thou H859 prophesy, H5012 and say, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Behold, H2009 I will give H5414 H853 this H2063 city H5892 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and he shall take H3920 it;
4 And Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 shall not H3808 escape H4422 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the Chaldeans, H3778 but H3588 shall surely be delivered H5414 H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and shall speak H1696 with H5973 him mouth H6310 to mouth, H6310 and his eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 H853 his eyes; H5869
5 And he shall lead H1980 H853 Zedekiah H6667 to Babylon, H894 and there H8033 shall he be H1961 until H5704 I visit H6485 him, saith H5002 the LORD: H3068 though H3588 ye fight H3898 with H854 the Chaldeans, H3778 ye shall not H3808 prosper. H6743
6 And Jeremiah H3414 said, H559 The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
7 Behold H2009 , Hanameel H2601 the son H1121 of Shallum H7967 thine uncle H1730 shall come H935 unto H413 thee, saying, H559 Buy H7069 thee H853 my field H7704 that H834 is in Anathoth: H6068 for H3588 the right H4941 of redemption H1353 is thine to buy H7069 it .
8 So Hanameel H2601 mine uncle's H1730 son H1121 came H935 to H413 me in H413 the court H2691 of the prison H4307 according to the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and said H559 unto H413 me, Buy H7069 H853 my field, H7704 I pray thee, H4994 that H834 is in Anathoth, H6068 which H834 is in the country H776 of Benjamin: H1144 for H3588 the right H4941 of inheritance H3425 is thine , and the redemption H1353 is thine; buy H7069 it for thyself . Then I knew H3045 that H3588 this H1931 was the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
9 And I bought H7069 H853 the field H7704 of H4480 H854 Hanameel H2601 my uncle's H1730 son, H1121 that H834 was in Anathoth, H6068 and weighed H8254 him H853 the money, H3701 even seventeen H7651 H6240 shekels H8255 of silver. H3701
10 And I subscribed H3789 the evidence, H5612 and sealed H2856 it , and took H5749 witnesses, H5707 and weighed H8254 him the money H3701 in the balances. H3976
11 So I took H3947 H853 the evidence H5612 of the purchase, H4736 both H853 that which was sealed H2856 according to the law H4687 and custom, H2706 and that which was open: H1540
12 And I gave H5414 H853 the evidence H5612 of the purchase H4736 unto H413 Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah, H5374 the son H1121 of Maaseiah, H4271 in the sight H5869 of Hanameel H2601 mine uncle's H1730 son , and in the presence H5869 of the witnesses H5707 that subscribed H3789 the book H5612 of the purchase, H4736 before H5869 all H3605 the Jews H3064 that sat H3427 in the court H2691 of the prison. H4307
13 And I charged H6680 H853 Baruch H1263 before H5869 them, saying, H559
14 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Take H3947 H853 these H428 evidences, H5612 H853 this H2088 evidence H5612 of the purchase, H4736 both which is sealed, H2856 and this H2088 evidence H5612 which is open; H1540 and put H5414 them in an earthen H2789 vessel, H3627 that H4616 they may continue H5975 many H7227 days. H3117
15 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Houses H1004 and fields H7704 and vineyards H3754 shall be possessed H7069 again H5750 in this H2063 land. H776
16 Now when H310 I had delivered H5414 H853 the evidence H5612 of the purchase H4736 unto H413 Baruch H1263 the son H1121 of Neriah, H5374 I prayed H6419 unto H413 the LORD, H3068 saying, H559
17 Ah H162 Lord H136 GOD H3069 ! behold, H2009 thou H859 hast made the heaven H8064 and the earth H776 by thy great H1419 power H3581 and stretched out H5186 arm, H2220 and there is nothing H3808 H3605 H1697 too hard H6381 for H4480 thee:
18 Thou showest H6213 lovingkindness H2617 unto thousands, H505 and recompensest H7999 the iniquity H5771 of the fathers H1 into H413 the bosom H2436 of their children H1121 after H310 them : the Great, H1419 the Mighty H1368 God, H410 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 is his name, H8034
19 Great H1419 in counsel, H6098 and mighty H7227 in work: H5950 for H834 thine eyes H5869 are open H6491 upon H5921 all H3605 the ways H1870 of the sons H1121 of men: H120 to give H5414 every one H376 according to his ways, H1870 and according to the fruit H6529 of his doings: H4611
20 Which H834 hast set H7760 signs H226 and wonders H4159 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 even unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 and in Israel, H3478 and among other men; H120 and hast made H6213 thee a name, H8034 as at this H2088 day; H3117
21 And hast brought forth H3318 H853 thy people H5971 H853 Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 with signs, H226 and with wonders, H4159 and with a strong H2389 hand, H3027 and with a stretched out H5186 arm, H248 and with great H1419 terror; H4172
22 And hast given H5414 them H853 this H2063 land, H776 which H834 thou didst swear H7650 to their fathers H1 to give H5414 them , a land H776 flowing H2100 with milk H2461 and honey; H1706
23 And they came H935 in , and possessed H3423 it ; but they obeyed H8085 not H3808 thy voice, H6963 neither H3808 walked H1980 in thy law; H8451 they have done H6213 H853 nothing H3808 of all H3605 that H834 thou commandedst H6680 them to do: H6213 therefore thou hast caused H853 all H3605 this H2063 evil H7451 to come upon H7122 them:
24 Behold H2009 the mounts, H5550 they are come H935 unto the city H5892 to take H3920 it ; and the city H5892 is given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the Chaldeans, H3778 that fight H3898 against H5921 it, because H4480 H6440 of the sword, H2719 and of the famine, H7458 and of the pestilence: H1698 and what H834 thou hast spoken H1696 is come to pass; H1961 and, behold, H2009 thou seest H7200 it .
25 And thou H859 hast said H559 unto H413 me , O Lord H136 GOD, H3069 Buy H7069 thee the field H7704 for money, H3701 and take H5749 witnesses; H5707 for the city H5892 is given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the Chaldeans. H3778
26 Then came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 unto H413 Jeremiah, H3414 saying, H559
27 Behold H2009 , I H589 am the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of all H3605 flesh: H1320 is there any H3605 thing H1697 too hard H6381 for H4480 me?
28 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Behold, H2009 I will give H5414 H853 this H2063 city H5892 into the hand H3027 of the Chaldeans, H3778 and into the hand H3027 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and he shall take H3920 it:
29 And the Chaldeans, H3778 that fight H3898 against H5921 this H2063 city, H5892 shall come H935 and set H3341 fire H784 on H853 this H2063 city, H5892 and burn H8313 it with the houses, H1004 upon H5921 whose H834 roofs H1406 they have offered incense H6999 unto Baal, H1168 and poured out H5258 drink offerings H5262 unto other H312 gods, H430 to H4616 provoke me to anger. H3707
30 For H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 and the children H1121 of Judah H3063 have H1961 only H389 done H6213 evil H7451 before H5869 me from their youth H4480 H5271 : for H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have only H389 provoked me to anger H3707 H853 with the work H4639 of their hands, H3027 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
31 For H3588 H5921 this H2063 city H5892 hath been H1961 to me as a provocation H5921 of mine anger H639 and of H5921 my fury H2534 from H4480 the day H3117 that H834 they built H1129 it even unto H5704 this H2088 day; H3117 that I should remove H5493 it from before H4480 H5921 my face, H6440
32 Because H5921 of all H3605 the evil H7451 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 and of the children H1121 of Judah, H3063 which H834 they have done H6213 to provoke me to anger, H3707 they, H1992 their kings, H4428 their princes, H8269 their priests, H3548 and their prophets, H5030 and the men H376 of Judah, H3063 and the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389
33 And they have turned H6437 unto H413 me the back, H6203 and not H3808 the face: H6440 though I taught H3925 them , rising up early H7925 and teaching H3925 them , yet they have not H369 hearkened H8085 to receive H3947 instruction. H4148
34 But they set H7760 their abominations H8251 in the house, H1004 which H834 is called H7121 by H5921 my name, H8034 to defile H2930 it.
35 And they built H1129 H853 the high places H1116 of Baal, H1168 which H834 are in the valley H1516 of the son H1121 of Hinnom, H2011 to cause H853 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 to pass through H5674 the fire unto Molech; H4432 which H834 I commanded H6680 them not, H3808 neither H3808 came H5927 it into H5921 my mind, H3820 that they should do H6213 this H2063 abomination, H8441 to H4616 cause H853 Judah H3063 to sin. H2398
36 And now H6258 therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 concerning H413 this H2063 city, H5892 whereof H834 ye H859 say, H559 It shall be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon H894 by the sword, H2719 and by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence; H1698
37 Behold H2009 , I will gather H6908 them out of all H4480 H3605 countries, H776 whither H834 H8033 I have driven H5080 them in mine anger, H639 and in my fury, H2534 and in great H1419 wrath; H7110 and I will bring them again H7725 unto H413 this H2088 place, H4725 and I will cause them to dwell H3427 safely: H983
38 And they shall be H1961 my people, H5971 and I H589 will be H1961 their God: H430
39 And I will give H5414 them one H259 heart, H3820 and one H259 way, H1870 that they may fear H3372 me forever H3605 H3117 , for the good H2896 of them , and of their children H1121 after H310 them:
40 And I will make H3772 an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285 with them, that H834 I will not H3808 turn away H7725 from H4480 H310 them , to do them good H3190 H853 ; but I will put H5414 my fear H3374 in their hearts, H3824 that they shall not H1115 depart H5493 from H4480 H5921 me.
41 Yea , I will rejoice H7797 over H5921 them to do them good H2895 H853 , and I will plant H5193 them in this H2063 land H776 assuredly H571 with my whole H3605 heart H3820 and with my whole H3605 soul. H5315
42 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Like as H834 I have brought H935 H853 all H3605 this H2063 great H1419 evil H7451 upon H413 this H2088 people, H5971 so H3651 will I H595 bring H935 upon H5921 them H853 all H3605 the good H2896 that H834 I H595 have promised H1696 H5921 them.
43 And fields H7704 shall be bought H7069 in this H2063 land, H776 whereof H834 ye H859 say, H559 It H1931 is desolate H8077 without H4480 H369 man H120 or beast; H929 it is given H5414 into the hand H3027 of the Chaldeans. H3778
44 Men shall buy H7069 fields H7704 for money, H3701 and subscribe H3789 evidences, H5612 and seal H2856 them , and take H5749 witnesses H5707 in the land H776 of Benjamin, H1144 and in the places about H5439 Jerusalem, H3389 and in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and in the cities H5892 of the mountains, H2022 and in the cities H5892 of the valley, H8219 and in the cities H5892 of the south: H5045 for H3588 I will cause H853 their captivity H7622 to return, H7725 saith H5002 the LORD.
