1Then all the commanders of the forces, along with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached
2Jeremiah the prophet and said, "May our petition come before you; pray to the LORD your God on behalf of this entire remnant. For few of us remain of the many, as you can see with your own eyes.
“and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, let we beseech thee our supplication be accepted before thee and pray for us unto the Lord thy God even for all this remnant for we are left but a few, a few of many as thine eyes do behold us,”
3Pray that the LORD your God will tell us the way we should walk and the thing we should do."
“That the Lord or Jehovah thy God may show us the way wherein we may walk and the thing that we may do.”
“that the Lord our God may tell us the way in which we should walk and the thing that we should do.”
“that the Lord thy God may show us the way wherein we may walk and the thing that we may do.”
4"I have heard you," replied Jeremiah the prophet. "I will surely pray to the LORD your God as you request, and I will tell you everything that the LORD answers; I will not withhold a word from you."
“then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you, and behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words, and it shall come to pass that whatever thing the Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto…”
“Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you. Behold, I am going to pray to the Lord your God in accordance with your words. And I will tell you the whole message which the Lord will answer you. I will not keep back a…”
“Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you. Behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing the Lord shall answer you I will declare it unto you.…”
5Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act upon every word that the LORD your God sends you to tell us.
“Then they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with the whole message which the Lord your God will send you to us.”
“Then said they to Jeremiah, the Lord be a true and faithful witness between us if we do not even according to all things for the which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us,”
6Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us, for we will obey the voice of the LORD our God!"
“whether it be good or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send thee, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”
“Whether it be pleasant or unpleasant, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God to whom we are sending you. So that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of the Lord our God.”
“whether it is good or whether it is evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send thee, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”
7After ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah,
“And it came to pass after ten days that the Word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.”
“And it happened after 10 days at the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.”
8and he summoned Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.

9Jeremiah told them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition:
“and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him,”
10'If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I will relent of the disaster I have brought upon you.
“If you will still abide in this land, then will I build you and not pull you down. And I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.”
“still abide in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you,”
“if ye will still abide in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down. I will plant you and not pluck you up for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.”
11Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.
“be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Be not afraid of him, saith the Lord, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.”
“Be not afraid of the king of Babylon of whom ye are afraid. Be not afraid of him, saith the Lord, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you from his hand.”
12And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own land.'
“And I will show mercies unto you that he may have mercy upon you and cause you to return to your own land.”
“And I will show mercies unto you that he may have mercy upon you and cause you to return to your own land.”
13But if you say, 'We will not stay in this land,' and you thus disobey the voice of the LORD your God,
“But if you say, we will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the Lord your God,”
14and if you say, 'No, but we will go to the land of Egypt and live there, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram's horn or hunger for bread,'
“saying, no, we will go into the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread, and there will we dwell.”
15then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'If you are determined to go to Egypt and reside there,
“and have plenty. Now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt and go to sojourn there,”
“And now, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and to go to sojourn there,”
16then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow on your heels into Egypt, and you will die there.
“then it shall come to pass that the sword which ye feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt, and there ye shall die.”
17So all who resolve to go to Egypt to reside there will die by sword and famine and plague. Not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring upon them.'
“So shall it be with all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt, to sojourn there. They shall die by the sword, by the famine, by the pestilence, and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring…”
“So shall it be when the men that set their faces to go to Egypt to sojourn there, they shall die by the sword, by the famine, by the pestilence, and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.”
18For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.'
“For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, as my anger and fury has been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you when you enter into Egypt and you shall be an excretion…”
19The LORD has told you, O remnant of Judah, 'Do not go to Egypt.' Know for sure that I have warned you today!
“The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, go ye not into Egypt. Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.”
“The Lord hath said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, go not into Egypt. Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.”
20For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.'

21For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.
“And now I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor anything for the which He hath sent me unto you.”
22Now therefore, know for sure that by sword and famine and plague you will die in the place where you desire to go to reside."
“Now, therefore, know certainly that ye shall die by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence in the place whether you desire to go and sojourn.".”
