CHAPTER 27
Jeremiah 27:1
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 27:2
2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Jeremiah 27:3
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the
king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon,
by the hand of the messengers  which come  to Jerusalem  unto Zedekiah 
king of Judah;
Jeremiah 27:4
4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; Jeremiah 27:5
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by
my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it
seemed meet  unto me.
Jeremiah 27:6
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him
also to serve him.
Jeremiah 27:7
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until
the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall
serve  themselves of him.
Jeremiah 27:8
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not
serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put
their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I
punish, saith  the LORD,  with the sword,  and with the famine,  and with
the pestilence,  until I have consumed  them by his hand. Jeremiah 27:9
9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to
your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak
unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Jeremiah 27:10
10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and
that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. Jeremiah 27:11
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of
Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land,
saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell  therein. Jeremiah 27:12
12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words,
saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve
him and his people,  and live.
Jeremiah 27:13
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and
by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not
serve the king of Babylon?
Jeremiah 27:14
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto
you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a
lie unto you.
Jeremiah 27:15
15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my
name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the
prophets that prophesy unto you.
Jeremiah 27:16
16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith
the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you,
saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S  house  shall now shortly  be
brought again  from Babylon:  for they prophesy  a lie  unto you. Jeremiah
27:17
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore
should this city be laid waste?
Jeremiah 27:18
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let
them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are
left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king  of Judah,  and
at Jerusalem,  go  not to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:19
19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning
the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the
vessels that remain in this city,
Jeremiah 27:20
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away
captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to
Babylon, and all the nobles  of Judah  and Jerusalem; Jeremiah 27:21
21 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the
vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king
of Judah and of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 27:22
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day
that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore
them to this place.
CHAPTER 28
Jeremiah 28:1
1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of
Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that
Hananiah the son of Azur  the prophet,  which was of Gibeon,  spake  unto
me in the house  of the LORD,  in the presence  of the priests  and of all
the people,  saying,
Jeremiah 28:2
2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken
the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:3
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels
of the LORD'S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from
this place, and carried  them to Babylon: Jeremiah 28:4
4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king
of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the
LORD:  for I will break  the yoke  of the king  of Babylon. Jeremiah 28:5
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence
of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the
house of the LORD,
Jeremiah 28:6
6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform
thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the
LORD'S house,  and all that is carried away captive,  from Babylon  into
this place.
Jeremiah 28:7
7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in
the ears of all the people;
Jeremiah 28:8
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied
both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of
evil, and of pestilence.
Jeremiah 28:9
9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet
shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath
truly sent him.
Jeremiah 28:10
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's
neck, and brake it.
Jeremiah 28:11
11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith
the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
from the neck  of all nations  within the space of two full  years.  And
the prophet  Jeremiah  went  his way.
Jeremiah 28:12
12 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that
Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 28:13
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the
yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. Jeremiah 28:14
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke
of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve
Nebuchadnezzar king  of Babylon;  and they shall serve  him: and I have
given  him the beasts  of the field  also.
Jeremiah 28:15
15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now,
Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust
in a lie.
Jeremiah 28:16
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the
face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught
rebellion against the LORD.
Jeremiah 28:17
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. CHAPTER 29
Jeremiah 29:1
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from
Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives,
and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom
Nebuchadnezzar  had carried away captive  from Jerusalem  to Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:2
2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the
princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were
departed from Jerusalem;)
Jeremiah 29:3
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of
Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar 
king  of Babylon)  saying,
Jeremiah 29:4
4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are
carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem
unto Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:5
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
Jeremiah 29:6
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your
sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons  and
daughters; that ye may be increased  there, and not diminished. Jeremiah
29:7
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried
away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof
shall ye have peace.
Jeremiah 29:8
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your
prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you,
neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. Jeremiah 29:9
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them,
saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 29:10
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at
Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing
you to return to this place.
Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah
29:12
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will
hearken unto you.
Jeremiah 29:13
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all
your heart.
Jeremiah 29:14
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your
captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the
places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you
again

into the place  whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:15
15 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:16
16 Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne
of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your
brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; Jeremiah 29:17
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword,
the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that
cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Jeremiah 29:18
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the
pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the
earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach,
among all the nations  whither I have driven  them: Jeremiah 29:19
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I
sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending
them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 29:20
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I
have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: Jeremiah 29:21
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of
Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie  unto
you in my name;  Behold, I will deliver  them into the hand  of
Nebuchadrezzar king  of Babylon;  and he shall slay  them before your eyes;
Jeremiah 29:22
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah
which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like
Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted  in the fire; Jeremiah 29:23
23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed
adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my
name, which I have not commanded them; even I know,  and am a witness,
saith  the LORD.
Jeremiah 29:24
24 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, Jeremiah 29:25
25 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou
hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem,
and to Zephaniah the son  of Maaseiah  the priest,  and to all the priests,
saying,
Jeremiah 29:26
26 The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that
ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad,
and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison,  and
in the stocks.
Jeremiah 29:27
27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which
maketh himself a prophet to you?
Jeremiah 29:28
28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is
long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the
fruit  of them.
Jeremiah 29:29
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah 29:30
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Jeremiah 29:31
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD
concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied
unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: Jeremiah
29:32
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the
Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this
people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do  for my people,
saith  the LORD;  because he hath taught  rebellion  against the LORD.
