redemption
is
thine; buy
it
for thyself. Then I knew that this
was
the word of the L
ORD
.
9
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.
10
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed
it,
and took witnesses,
and weighed
him
the money in the balances.
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:
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.
13
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14
Thus saith the L
ORD
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.
15
For thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this
land.
16
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I
prayed unto the L
ORD
, saying,
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:
18
Thou shewest
lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their
children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the L
ORD
of hosts,
is
his name,
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:
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;
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;
22
And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land
flowing with milk and honey;
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
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.
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.
26
Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Jeremiah, saying,
27
Behold, I
am
the L
ORD
, the God
of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28
Therefore thus saith the L
ORD
; 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:
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.
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
