Jeremiah 29:17-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
17
this is what the
Lord
of armies says: ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the sword, famine, and plague; and I will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness.
18
I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with plague; and I will make them an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and an object of horror and hissing, and a disgrace among all the nations where I have driven them,
19
because they have not listened to My words,’ declares the
Lord
, ‘which I sent to them again and again by My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the
Lord
.
20
‘You, therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
, all you exiles, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21
‘This is what the
Lord
of armies, the God of Israel says concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you falsely in My name: 'Behold, I am going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your eyes.
22
Because of them a curse will be used by all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘May the
Lord
make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,’
23
because they acted foolishly in Israel, and committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and falsely spoke words in My name which I did not command them. I am He who knows, and a witness,' declares the
Lord
.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 29
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.
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:
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
.
20
Hear ye therefore the word of the
Lord
, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
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;
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;
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
.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
17
This is what the
Lord
of Armies says: "I am about to send sword, famine, and plague against them, and I will make them like rotten figs that are inedible because they are so bad.
18
I will pursue them with sword, famine, and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse and a desolation, an object of scorn and a disgrace among all the nations where I have banished them.
19
I will do this because they have not listened to my words"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"the words that I sent to them with my servants the prophets time and time again. And you too have not listened." This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
20
Hear the word of the
Lord
, all you exiles I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21
This is what the
Lord
of Armies, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, the ones prophesying a lie to you in my name: "I am about to hand them over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
22
Based on what happens to them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will create a curse that says, ‘May the
Lord
make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
23
because they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have spoken in my name a lie, which I did not command them. I am he who knows, and I am a witness." This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
17
This is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies says: 'I will send war, famine, and disease upon them and make them like bad figs, too rotten to eat.
18
Yes, I will pursue them with war, famine, and disease, and I will scatter them around the world. In every nation where I send them, I will make them an object of damnation, horror, contempt, and mockery.
19
For they refuse to listen to me, though I have spoken to them repeatedly through the prophets I sent. And you who are in exile have not listened either,' says the
Lord
.
20
Therefore, listen to this message from the
Lord
, all you captives there in Babylon.
21
This is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says about your prophets — Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah — who are telling you lies in my name: 'I will turn them over to Nebuchadnezzar for execution before your eyes.
22
Their terrible fate will become proverbial, so that the Judean exiles will curse someone by saying, ‘May the
Lord
make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned alive!’
23
For these men have done terrible things among my people. They have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have lied in my name, saying things I did not command. I am a witness to this. I, the
Lord
, have spoken.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 29
17
‘Thus says the
Lord
of hosts, behold, I am sending on them sword, famine, and pestilence, and I will make them like vile figs that are so rotten they cannot be eaten.
18
I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
19
because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the
Lord
, that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the
Lord
.’
20
Hear the word of the
Lord
, all you exiles whom I sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
21
‘Thus says the
Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall strike them down before your eyes.
22
Because of them this curse shall be used by all the exiles from Judah in Babylon: "The
Lord
make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire,"
23
because they have done an outrageous thing in Israel, they have committed adultery with their neighbors ' wives, and they have spoken in my name lying words that I did not command them. I am the one who knows, and I am witness, declares the
Lord
.’"
New International Version
Chapter 29
17
yes, this is what the
Lord
Almighty says: "I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten.
18
I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them.
19
For they have not listened to my words," declares the
Lord
, "words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the prophets. And you exiles have not listened either," declares the
Lord
.
20
Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21
This is what the
Lord
Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name: "I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes.
22
Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the
Lord
treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned in the fire.’
23
For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know it and am a witness to it," declares the
Lord
.
New King James Version
Chapter 29
17
thus says the
Lord
of hosts: Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
18
And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence; and I will deliver them to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth—to be a curse, an astonishment, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,
19
because they have not heeded My words, says the
Lord
, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending
them;
neither would you heed, says the
Lord
.
20
Therefore hear the word of the
Lord
, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21
Thus says the
Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall slay them before your eyes.
22
And because of them a curse shall be taken up by all the captivity of Judah who
are
in Babylon, saying, “The
Lord
make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire”;
23
because they have done disgraceful things in Israel, have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them. Indeed I know, and
am
a witness, says the
Lord
.
