24_JER_32_01 the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah , which [ was ] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar .
24_JER_32_02 for Then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem : And Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison , which [ was ] in the king of Judah's house .
24_JER_32_03 for Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up , saying , Wherefore dost thou prophesy , And say , thus saith the LORD , behold , I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon , And he shall take it ;
24_JER_32_04 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans , but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon , And shall speak with him mouth to mouth , And his eyes shall behold his eyes ;
24_JER_32_05 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon , And there shall he be until I visit him , saith the LORD : though ye fight with the Chaldeans , ye shall not prosper .
24_JER_32_06 And Jeremiah said , the word of the LORD came unto me , saying ,
24_JER_32_07 behold , Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee , saying , buy thee my field that [ Is ] in Anathoth : for the right of redemption [ Is ] thine to buy [ it ] .
24_JER_32_08 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD , And said unto me , buy my field , I pray thee , that [ Is ] in Anathoth , which [ Is ] in the country of Benjamin : for the right of inheritance [ Is ] thine , And the redemption [ Is ] thine ; buy [ it ] for thyself . Then I knew that this [ was ] the word of the LORD .
24_JER_32_09 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son , that [ was ] in Anathoth , And weighed him the money , [ even ] seventeen shekels of silver .
24_JER_32_10 And I subscribed the evidence , And sealed [ it ] , And took witnesses , And weighed [ him ] the money in the balances .
24_JER_32_11 So I took the evidence of the purchase , [ Both ] that which was sealed [ according ] to the law And custom , And that which was open :
24_JER_32_12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah , the son of Maaseiah , in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's [ son ] , And in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase , before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison .
24_JER_32_13 And I charged Baruch before them , saying ,
24_JER_32_14 thus saith the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel ; take These evidences , this evidence of the purchase , Both which Is sealed , And this evidence which Is open ; And put them in an earthen vessel , that they may continue Many days .
24_JER_32_15 for thus saith the LORD of hosts , the God of Israel ; houses And fields And vineyards shall be possessed again in this land .
24_JER_32_16 now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah , I prayed unto the LORD , saying ,
24_JER_32_17 Ah LORD God ! behold , thou hast made the heaven And the earth by thy great power And stretched out arm , [ And ] there Is nothing too hard for thee :
24_JER_32_18 thou showest lovingkindness unto thousands , And recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them : the great , the mighty God , the LORD of hosts , [ Is ] his name ,
24_JER_32_19 great in counsel , And mighty in work : for thine eyes [ are ] open upon all the ways of the sons of men : to give every one according to his ways , And according to the fruit of his doings :
24_JER_32_20 which hast set signs And wonders in the land of Egypt , [ even ] unto this day , And in Israel , And among [ other ] men ; And hast made thee A name , as at this day ;
24_JER_32_21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs , And with wonders , And with A strong hand , And with A stretched out arm , And with great terror ;
24_JER_32_22 And hast given them this land , which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them , A land flowing with milk And honey ;
24_JER_32_23 And they came in , And possessed it ; but they obeyed not thy voice , neither walked in thy law ; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do : therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them :
24_JER_32_24 behold the mounts , they are come unto the city to take it ; And the city Is given into the hand of the Chaldeans , that fight against it , because of the sword , And of the famine , And of the pestilence : And what thou hast spoken Is come to pass ; And , behold , thou seest [ it ] .
24_JER_32_25 And thou hast said unto me , O LORD God , buy thee the field for money , And take witnesses ; for the city Is given into the hand of the Chaldeans .
24_JER_32_26 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah , saying ,
24_JER_32_27 behold , I [ am ] the LORD , the God of all flesh : Is there any thing too hard for me ?
24_JER_32_28 therefore thus saith the LORD ; behold , I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans , And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , And he shall take it :
24_JER_32_29 And the Chaldeans , that fight against this city , shall come And set fire on this city , And burn it with the houses , upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal , And poured out drink offerings unto other gods , to provoke me to anger .
24_JER_32_30 for the children of Israel And the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth : for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands , saith the LORD .
24_JER_32_31 for this city hath been to me [ as ] A provocation of mine anger And of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day ; that I should remove it from before my face ,
24_JER_32_32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel And of the children of Judah , which they have done to provoke me to anger , they , their kings , their princes , their priests , And their prophets , And the men of Judah , And the inhabitants of Jerusalem .
24_JER_32_33 And they have turned unto me the back , And not the face : though I taught them , rising up early And teaching [ them ] , yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction .
24_JER_32_34 but they set their abominations in the house , which Is called by my name , to defile it .
24_JER_32_35 And they built the high places of Baal , which [ are ] in the valley of the son of Hinnom , to cause their sons And their daughters to pass through [ the fire ] unto Molech ; which I commanded them not , neither came it into my mind , that they should do this abomination , to cause Judah to sin .
24_JER_32_36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD , the God of Israel , concerning this city , whereof ye say , it shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword , And by the famine , And by the pestilence ;
24_JER_32_37 behold , I will gather them out of all countries , whither I have driven them in mine anger , And in my fury , And in great wrath ; And I will bring them again unto this place , And I will cause them to dwell safely :
24_JER_32_38 And they shall be my people , And I will be their God :
24_JER_32_39 And I will give them one heart , And one way , that they may Fear me for ever , for the good of them , And of their children after them :
24_JER_32_40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them , that I will not turn away from them , to do them good ; but I will put my Fear in their hearts , that they shall not Depart from me .
24_JER_32_41 yea , I will Rejoice over them to do them good , And I will plant them in this land Assuredly with my whole heart And with my whole soul .
24_JER_32_42 for thus saith the LORD ; like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people , So will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them .
24_JER_32_43 And fields shall be bought in this land , whereof ye say , [ it Is ] desolate without man or beast ; it Is given into the hand of the Chaldeans .
24_JER_32_44 men shall buy fields for money , And subscribe evidences , And seal [ them ] , And take witnesses in the land of Benjamin , And in the places about Jerusalem , And in the cities of Judah , And in the cities of the mountains , And in the cities of the valley , And in the cities of the south : for I will cause their captivity to Return , saith the LORD .
