1 The word which came unto Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), when king Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] sent unto him Pash’chur [freedom] the son of Malkiyah [my king is Yehovah], and Tzefan’yahu [Yehovah has treasured] the son of Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah] the priest, saying,

2 Enquire, I pray youi, of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) for us; for N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] makes war against us; if so be that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

3 Then said Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] unto them, Thus shall you2f say to Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous]:

4 Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that [are] in your hands, which you2f fight against the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and [against] the Kasdim [clod-breakers], which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

7 And afterward, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I will deliver Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

8 And unto this people youi shall say, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

9 He that abides in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goes out, and falls to the Kasdim [clod-breakers] that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): it shall be given into the hand of the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and he shall burn it with fire.

11 And touching the house of the king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [say], Hear you2f the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate);

12 O house of David [beloved], thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver [him that is] spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.

13 Behold, I [am] against youi, O inhabitant of the valley, [and] rock of the plain, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
