Jeremiah 34:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The message from the Lord came to Jeremiah. The message came at the time when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the towns around it. Nebuchadnezzar had with him all his army and the armies of all the kingdoms and peoples in the empire he ruled.
2 This was the message: "This is what the Lord, the God of the people of Israel, says: Jeremiah, go to King Zedekiah of Judah and give him this message: 'Zedekiah, this is what the Lord says: I will give the city of Jerusalem to the king of Babylon very soon, and he will burn it down.
3 Zedekiah, you will not escape from the king of Babylon. You will surely be caught and given to him. You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes. He will talk to you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.
4 But listen to the promise of the Lord, King Zedekiah of Judah. This is what the Lord says about you: You will not be killed with a sword.
5 You will die in a peaceful way. People made funeral fires to honor your ancestors, the kings who ruled before you became king. In the same way people will make a funeral fire to honor you. They will cry for you and sadly say, "Oh, my master!" I myself make this promise to you.'" This message is from the Lord.
6 So Jeremiah gave the message from the Lord to Zedekiah in Jerusalem.
7 This was while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem. The army of Babylon was also fighting against the cities of Judah that had not been captured. These cities were Lachish and Azekah. These were the only fortified cities left in the land of Judah.
8 King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem to give freedom to all the Hebrew slaves. A message from the Lord came to Jeremiah after Zedekiah had made that agreement.
9 Everyone was supposed to free their Hebrew slaves. All male and female Hebrew slaves were to be set free. No one was supposed to keep another person from the tribe of Judah in slavery.
10 So all the leaders of Judah and all the people accepted this agreement. They would free their male and female slaves so that they would no longer serve them. Everyone agreed, and so all the slaves were set free.
11 But after that, the people who had slaves changed their minds. So they took the people they had set free and made them slaves again.
12 Then the message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
13 "This is what the Lord, the God of the people of Israel, says: I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, where they were slaves. When I did that, I made an agreement with them.
14 I said to your ancestors: 'At the end of every seven years, everyone must set their Hebrew slaves free. If you have fellow Hebrews who have sold themselves to you, you must let them go free after they have served you for six years.' But your ancestors didn't listen to me or pay attention to me.
15 A short time ago you changed your hearts to do what is right. Everyone set free their fellow Hebrews who were slaves. And you even made an agreement before me in the Temple that is called by my name.
16 But now you have changed your minds. You have shown you do not honor my name because each of you has taken back the male and female slaves that you had set free. You have forced them to become slaves again.
17 "So this is what the Lord says: 'You people have not obeyed me. You have not given freedom to your fellow Hebrews. Because you have not kept the agreement, I will give "freedom."' This is the message of the Lord. 'I will let "freedom" be killed by swords, by terrible sicknesses, and by hunger! I will make you become something that terrifies all the kingdoms of the earth, when they hear about you.
18 I will hand over those who broke my agreement and have not kept the promises they made before me. They cut a calf into two pieces before me and walked between the two pieces.
19 These are the people who walked between the two pieces of the calf when they made the agreement before me: the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the important officials of the court, the priests, and the people of the land.
20 So I will give them to their enemies and to everyone who wants to kill them. Their bodies will become food for the birds of the air and for the wild animals of the earth.
21 I will give King Zedekiah of Judah and his leaders to their enemies and to everyone who wants to kill them. I will give Zedekiah and his people to the army of the king of Babylon, even though that army has left Jerusalem.
22 But I will give the order,' says the Lord, 'to bring the Babylonian army back to Jerusalem. That army will fight against Jerusalem. They will capture it, set it on fire, and burn it down. And I will destroy the towns in the land of Judah. They will become empty deserts. No one will live there.'"
1 The word H1697 which H834 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 when Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and all H3605 his army, H2428 and all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 of his dominion H4480 H4475, H3027 and all H3605 the people, H5971 fought H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof, saying, H559
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Go H1980 and speak H559 to H413 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and tell H559 H413 him, 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 burn H8313 it with fire: H784
3 And thou H859 shalt not H3808 escape H4422 out of his hand H4480 H3027 , but H3588 shalt surely be taken H8610 H8610 , and delivered H5414 into his hand; H3027 and thine eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 H853 the eyes H5869 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and he shall speak H1696 with H854 thee mouth H6310 to mouth, H6310 and thou shalt go H935 to Babylon. H894
4 Yet H389 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 O Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah; H3063 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of H5921 thee , Thou shalt not H3808 die H4191 by the sword: H2719
5 But thou shalt die H4191 in peace: H7965 and with the burnings H4955 of thy fathers, H1 the former H7223 kings H4428 which H834 were H1961 before H6440 thee, so H3651 shall they burn H8313 odors for thee ; and they will lament H5594 thee, saying , Ah H1945 lord H113 ! for H3588 I H589 have pronounced H1696 the word, H1697 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
6 Then Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 unto H413 Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 in Jerusalem, H3389
7 When the king H4428 of Babylon's H894 army H2428 fought H3898 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and against H5921 all H3605 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 that were left, H3498 against H413 Lachish, H3923 and against H413 Azekah: H5825 for H3588 these H2007 defensed H4013 cities H5892 remained H7604 of the cities H5892 of Judah. H3063
8 This is the word H1697 that H834 came H1961 unto H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 after that H310 the king H4428 Zedekiah H6667 had made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H854 all H3605 the people H5971 which H834 were at Jerusalem, H3389 to proclaim H7121 liberty H1865 unto them;
9 That every man H376 should let H853 his manservant, H5650 and every man H376 H853 his maidservant, H8198 being a Hebrew H5680 or a Hebrewess, H5680 go H7971 free; H2670 that none H1115 H376 should serve H5647 himself of them, to wit , of a Jew H3064 his brother. H251
10 Now when all H3605 the princes, H8269 and all H3605 the people, H5971 which H834 had entered H935 into the covenant, H1285 heard H8085 that every one H376 should let H853 his manservant, H5650 and every one H376 H853 his maidservant, H8198 go H7971 free, H2670 that none H1115 should serve H5647 themselves of them any more, H5750 then they obeyed, H8085 and let them go. H7971
11 But afterward H310 H3651 they turned, H7725 and caused H853 the servants H5650 and the handmaids, H8198 whom H834 they had let go H7971 free, H2670 to return, H7725 and brought them into subjection H3533 for servants H5650 and for handmaids. H8198
12 Therefore the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 saying, H559
13 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 I H595 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H854 your fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I brought them forth H3318 H853 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt, H4714 out of the house H4480 H1004 of bondmen, H5650 saying, H559
14 At the end H4480 H7093 of seven H7651 years H8141 let ye go H7971 every man H376 H853 his brother H251 a Hebrew, H5680 which H834 hath been sold H4376 unto thee ; and when he hath served H5647 thee six H8337 years, H8141 thou shalt let him go H7971 free H2670 from H4480 H5973 thee : but your fathers H1 hearkened H8085 not H3808 unto H413 me, neither H3808 inclined H5186 H853 their ear. H241
15 And ye H859 were now H3117 turned, H7725 and had done H6213 H853 right H3477 in my sight, H5869 in proclaiming H7121 liberty H1865 every man H376 to his neighbor; H7453 and ye had made H3772 a covenant H1285 before H6440 me in the house H1004 which H834 is called H7121 by H5921 my name: H8034
16 But ye turned H7725 and polluted H2490 H853 my name, H8034 and caused every man H376 H853 his servant, H5650 and every man H376 H853 his handmaid, H8198 whom H834 ye had set H7971 at liberty H2670 at their pleasure, H5315 to return, H7725 and brought them into subjection H3533 H853 , to be H1961 unto you for servants H5650 and for handmaids. H8198
17 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Ye H859 have not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto H413 me , in proclaiming H7121 liberty, H1865 every one H376 to his brother, H251 and every man H376 to his neighbor: H7453 behold, H2009 I proclaim H7121 a liberty H1865 for you, saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 to H413 the sword, H2719 to H413 the pestilence, H1698 and to H413 the famine; H7458 and I will make H5414 you to be removed H2189 into all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth. H776
18 And I will give H5414 H853 the men H376 that have transgressed H5674 H853 my covenant, H1285 which H834 have not H3808 performed H6965 H853 the words H1697 of the covenant H1285 which H834 they had made H3772 before H6440 me, when H834 they cut H3772 the calf H5695 in twain, H8147 and passed H5674 between H996 the parts H1335 thereof,
19 The princes H8269 of Judah, H3063 and the princes H8269 of Jerusalem, H3389 the eunuchs, H5631 and the priests, H3548 and all H3605 the people H5971 of the land, H776 which passed H5674 between H996 the parts H1335 of the calf; H5695
20 I will even give H5414 them into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 and into the hand H3027 of them that seek H1245 their life: H5315 and their dead bodies H5038 shall be H1961 for meat H3978 unto the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 and to the beasts H929 of the earth. H776
21 And Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 and his princes H8269 will I give H5414 into the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 and into the hand H3027 of them that seek H1245 their life, H5315 and into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Babylon's H894 army, H2428 which are gone up H5927 from H4480 H5921 you.
22 Behold H2009 , I will command, H6680 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and cause them to return H7725 to H413 this H2063 city; H5892 and they shall fight H3898 against H5921 it , and take H3920 it , and burn H8313 it with fire: H784 and I will make H5414 the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 a desolation H8077 without H4480 H369 an inhabitant.
