CHAPTER 24
Jeremiah 24:1
1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the
temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon  had carried
away captive  Jeconiah  the son  of Jehoiakim  king  of Judah,  and the
princes  of Judah,  with the carpenters  and smiths,  from Jerusalem,  and
had brought  them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 24:2
2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe:
and the other basket had very naughty figs,  which could not be eaten, 
they were so bad.
Jeremiah 24:3
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs;
the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil,  that cannot be eaten,
they are so evil.
Jeremiah 24:4
4 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah 24:5
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I
acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent
out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans  for their good. Jeremiah
24:6
6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again
to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will
plant them, and not pluck them up.
Jeremiah 24:7
7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they
shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me
with their whole heart.
Jeremiah 24:8
8 And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely
thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his
princes, and the residue of Jerusalem,  that remain  in this land,  and
them that dwell  in the land  of Egypt:
Jeremiah 24:9
9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth
for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all
places whither I shall drive them.
Jeremiah 24:10
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them,
till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their
fathers.
CHAPTER 25
Jeremiah 25:1
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the
first year  of Nebuchadrezzar  king  of Babylon; Jeremiah 25:2
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to
all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Jeremiah 25:3
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even
unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD
hath come unto me, and I have spoken  unto you, rising early  and speaking;
but ye have not hearkened.
Jeremiah 25:4
4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising
early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to
hear.
Jeremiah 25:5
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the
evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto
you and to your fathers for  ever  and ever: Jeremiah 25:6
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and
provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no
hurt.
Jeremiah 25:7
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke
me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. Jeremiah 25:8
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
Jeremiah 25:9
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the
LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring
them against this land, and against the inhabitants  thereof, and against
all these nations  round about,  and will utterly destroy  them, and make
them an astonishment,  and an hissing,  and perpetual  desolations.
Jeremiah 25:10
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the
sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. Jeremiah 25:11
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and
these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. Jeremiah 25:12
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I
will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their
iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make  it perpetual
desolations.
Jeremiah 25:13
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced
against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath
prophesied against all the nations. Jeremiah 25:14
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also:
and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the
works of their own hands.
Jeremiah 25:15
15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this
fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink
it.
Jeremiah 25:16
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword
that I will send among them.
Jeremiah 25:17
17 Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to
drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: Jeremiah 25:18
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and
the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an
hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
Jeremiah 25:19
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jeremiah 25:20
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all
the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and
Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
Jeremiah 25:21
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, Jeremiah 25:22
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of
the isles which are beyond the sea, Jeremiah 25:23
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, Jeremiah 25:24
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people
that dwell in the desert,
Jeremiah 25:25
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings
of the Medes,
Jeremiah 25:26
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all
the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the
king of Sheshach shall drink  after  them. Jeremiah 25:27
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no
more, because of the sword  which I will send  among you. Jeremiah 25:28
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink,
then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall
certainly drink.
Jeremiah 25:29
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name,
and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will
call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith  the LORD  of
hosts.
Jeremiah 25:30
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them,
The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy
habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation;  he shall give  a
shout,  as they that tread  the grapes, against all the inhabitants  of the
earth.
Jeremiah 25:31
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a
controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give
them that are wicked to the sword, saith  the LORD. Jeremiah 25:32
32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to
nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the
earth.
Jeremiah 25:33
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth
even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither
gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. Jeremiah 25:34
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye
principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your
dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
Jeremiah 25:35
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the
flock to escape.
Jeremiah 25:36
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of
the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
Jeremiah 25:37
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger
of the LORD.
Jeremiah 25:38
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate
because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce
anger. CHAPTER 26
Jeremiah 26:1
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah came this word from the LORD, saying, Jeremiah 26:2
2 Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak
unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house,
all the words  that I command  thee to speak  unto them; diminish  not a
word:
Jeremiah 26:3
3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I
may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the
evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 26:4
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken
to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, Jeremiah 26:5
5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto
you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
Jeremiah 26:6
6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse
to all the nations of the earth.
Jeremiah 26:7
7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah
speaking these words in the house of the LORD. Jeremiah 26:8
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that
the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests
and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely
die.
Jeremiah 26:9
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house
shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an
inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house 
of the LORD. Jeremiah 26:10
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the
king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the
new gate  of the LORD'S  house.
Jeremiah 26:11
11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the
people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against
this city, as ye have heard with your ears. Jeremiah 26:12
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying,
The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all
the words that ye have heard.
Jeremiah 26:13
13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the
LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath
pronounced against you.
Jeremiah 26:14
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and
meet unto you.
Jeremiah 26:15
15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely
bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the
inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak
all these words  in your ears.
Jeremiah 26:16
16 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the
prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the
name of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah 26:17
17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the
assembly of the people, saying,
Jeremiah 26:18
18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,
and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD  of
hosts; Zion  shall be plowed  like a field,  and Jerusalem  shall become
heaps, and the mountain  of the house  as the high places  of a forest.
Jeremiah 26:19
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he
not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the
evil  which he had pronounced  against them? Thus  might we procure  great
evil  against our souls.
Jeremiah 26:20
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah
the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and
against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah: Jeremiah 26:21
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the
princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when
Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled,  and went  into Egypt; Jeremiah
26:22
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of
Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. Jeremiah 26:23
23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto
Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body
into the graves of the common people.
Jeremiah 26:24
24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah,
that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to
death.
