In the
beginning of the
reign of
Jehoiakim the
son of
Josiah king of
Judah came this
word unto
Jeremiah from the
LORD, saying,
.Wh'Yivwa{y -n,B ~iq'yw{h.y t,k,l.m;m tyivaer.B ? h'y.m.rIy -l,a h,Z;h r'b'D;h h'y'h h'd.Wh.y .$,l,m ? r{mael h'wh.y teaem

Thus
saith the
LORD to me;
Make thee
bonds and
yokes, and
put them upon thy
neck,
tw{resw{m '$.l hef][ y;lea h'wh.y r;m'a -h{K ? '$,ra\W;c -l;[ ~'T;t.n.W tw{j{m.W

And
send them to the
king of
Edom, and to the
king of
Moab, and to the
king of the
Ammonites*, and to the
king of
Tyrus, and to the
king of
Zidon, by the
hand of the
messengers which
come to
Jerusalem unto
Zedekiah king of
Judah;

And
command them to
say unto their
masters, Thus
saith the
LORD of
hosts, the
God of
Israel; Thus shall ye
say unto your
masters;

I have
made the
earth, the
man and the
beast that are
upon the
ground, by my
great power and by my
outstretched arm, and have
given it unto whom it
seemed meet unto me.

And now have I
given all these
lands into the
hand of
Nebuchadnezzar the
king of
Babylon, my
servant; and the
beasts of the
field have I
given him also to
serve him.
