King James Version
1. Now King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah. 2. But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land gave heed to the words of the LORD which He spoke by the prophet Jeremiah. 3. And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to the LORD our God for us." 4. Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for they had not yet put him in prison. 5. Then Pharaoh’s army came up from Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they departed from Jerusalem. 6. Then the word of the LORD came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 7. "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Thus you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to Me to inquire of Me: "Behold, Pharaoh’s army which has come up to help you will return to Egypt, to their own land. 8. "And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city, and take it and burn it with fire."’ 9. "Thus says the LORD: ‘Do not deceive yourselves, saying, "The Chaldeans will surely depart from us," for they will not depart. 10. ‘For though you had defeated the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, they would rise up, every man in his tent, and burn the city with fire.’" 11. And it happened, when the army of the Chaldeans left the siege of Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army, 12. that Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to claim his property there among the people. 13. And when he was in the Gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there whose name was Irijah the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are defecting to the Chaldeans!" 14. Then Jeremiah said, "False! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him. So Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the princes. 15. Therefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and they struck him and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe. For they had made that the prison. 16. When Jeremiah entered the dungeon and the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days, 17. then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out . The king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from the LORD?" And Jeremiah said, "There is." Then he said, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon!" 18. Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, "What offense have I committed against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison? 19. "Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land’? 20. "Therefore please hear now, O my lord the king. Please, let my petition be accepted before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there." 21. Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah to the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread from the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
1. Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying, 2. "Thus says the LORD: ‘He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes over to the Chaldeans shall live; his life shall be as a prize to him, and he shall live.’ 3. "Thus says the LORD: ‘This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which shall take it.’" 4. Therefore the princes said to the king, "Please, let this man be put to death, for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm." 5. Then Zedekiah the king said, "Look, he is in your hand. For the king can do nothing against you." 6. So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the king’s son, which was in the court of the prison, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire. So Jeremiah sank in the mire. 7. Now Ebed–Melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon. When the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin, 8. Ebed–Melech went out of the king’s house and spoke to the king, saying: 9. "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon, and he is likely to die from hunger in the place where he is. For there is no more bread in the city." 10. Then the king commanded Ebed–Melech the Ethiopian, saying, "Take from here thirty men with you, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies." 11. So Ebed–Melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there old clothes and old rags, and let them down by ropes into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 12. Then Ebed–Melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Please put these old clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes." And Jeremiah did so. 13. So they pulled Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. 14. Then Zedekiah the king sent and had Jeremiah the prophet brought to him at the third entrance of the house of the LORD. And the king said to Jeremiah, "I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me." 15. Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you advice, you will not listen to me." 16. So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, " As the LORD lives, who made our very souls, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life." 17. Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you surely surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live. 18. ‘But if you do not surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans; they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape from their hand.’" 19. And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who have defected to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they abuse me." 20. But Jeremiah said, "They shall not deliver you . Please, obey the voice of the LORD which I speak to you. So it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live. 21. "But if you refuse to surrender, this is the word that the LORD has shown me: 22. ‘Now behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be surrendered to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say: "Your close friends have set upon you And prevailed against you; Your feet have sunk in the mire, And they have turned away again." 23. ‘So they shall surrender all your wives and children to the Chaldeans. You shall not escape from their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.’" 24. Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no one know of these words, and you shall not die. 25. "But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Declare to us now what you have said to the king, and also what the king said to you; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death,’ 26. "then you shall say to them, ‘I presented my request before the king, that he would not make me return to Jonathan’s house to die there.’" 27. Then all the princes came to Jeremiah and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the conversation had not been heard. 28. Now Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
1. In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it. 2. In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was penetrated. 3. Then all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal–Sharezer, Samgar–Nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal–Sarezer, Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. 4. So it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the plain. 5. But the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him. 6. Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes in Riblah; the king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah. 7. Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon. 8. And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. 9. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who defected to him, with the rest of the people who remained. 10. But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left in the land of Judah the poor people, who had nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. 11. Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, 12. "Take him and look after him, and do him no harm; but do to him just as he says to you." 13. So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent Nebushasban, Rabsaris, Nergal–Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s chief officers; 14. then they sent someone to take Jeremiah from the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should take him home. So he dwelt among the people. 15. Meanwhile the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 16. "Go and speak to Ebed–Melech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for adversity and not for good, and they shall be performed in that day before you. 17. "But I will deliver you in that day," says the LORD, "and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18. "For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me," says the LORD.’"
25. And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?" 26. Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27. "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." 28. Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" 29. Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." 30. Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31. "Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’" 32. Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33. "For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34. Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always." 35. And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36. "But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37. "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38. "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39. "This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40. "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
