The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.

2 and to take: take chief guard to/for Jeremiah and to say to(wards) him LORD God your to speak: promise [obj] [the] distress: harm [the] this to(wards) [the] place [the] this

And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD your God has pronounced this evil upon this place.

And now, behold, I loose you this day from the chains which were upon your hand. If it seem good unto you to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto you: but if it seem ill unto you to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before you: where it seems good and convenient for you to go, thither go.

Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go where ever it seems convenient unto you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.

8 and to come (in): come to(wards) Gedaliah [the] Mizpah [to] and Ishmael son: child Nethaniah and Johanan and Jonathan son: child Kareah and Seraiah son: child Tanhumeth and son: child (Ephai *Q(K)*) [the] Netophathite and Jezaniah son: child [the] Maacathite they(masc.) and human their

Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but all of you, gather all of you wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that all of you have taken.

Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;

12 and to return: return all [the] Jew from all [the] place which to banish there and to come (in): come land: country/planet Judah to(wards) Gedaliah [the] Mizpah [to] and to gather wine and summer to multiply much
