Jeremiah 29
29
1Now these [are] the words of the letter that Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet sent from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] had carried away captive from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion];
2(After that Y’khanyahu [Yehovah will establish] the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace];)
3By the hand of El’asah [God has made] the son of Shafan [coney], and G’maryah [Yehovah has accomplished] the son of Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah], (whom Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] sent unto Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] to N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion]) saying,
4Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion];
5Build you2f houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6Take you2f wives, and beget (to be father of; be ancestor of) sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that you2f may be increased there, and not diminished.
7And seek the peace of the city to which I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) for it: for in the peace thereof shall you2f have peace.
8For thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that [be] in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which you2f cause to be dreamed.
9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
10For thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), That after seventy years be accomplished at Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12Then shall you2f call upon me, and you2f shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13And you2f shall seek me, and find [me], when you2f shall search for me with all your heart.
14And I will be found of you, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will bring you again into the place from what place I caused you to be carried away captive.
15Because you2f have said, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has raised us up prophets in Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion];
16 [Know] that thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) of the king that sits upon the throne of David [beloved], and of all the people that dwells in this city, [and] of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
17Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
18And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach (disgrace; shame), among all the nations to which I have driven them:
19Because they have not listened to my words, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them]; but you2f would not hear, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
20Hear you2f therefore the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), all you2f of the captivity, whom I have sent from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion]:
21Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], of Ach’av [father’s brother] the son of Kolayah [voice of Yehovah], and of Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] the son of Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah], which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them 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 he shall slay them before your eyes;
22And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] which [are] in Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], saying, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) make youi like Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] and like Ach’av [father’s brother], whom the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] roasted in the fire;
23Because they have committed villainy in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and [am] a witness, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
24 [Thus] shall youi also speak to Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the Nechelami [he of the dream], saying,
25Thus speaks the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, Because youi have sent letters in youri name unto all the people that [are] at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and to Tzefan’yahu [Yehovah has treasured] the son of Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah] the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has made youi priest in the stead of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the priest, that you2f should be officers in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), for every man [that is] mad, and makes himself a prophet, that youi should put him in prison, and in the stocks.
27Now therefore why have youi not reproved Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] of ‘Anatot [answers to prayer], which makes himself a prophet to you?
28For therefore he sent unto us [in] Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], saying, This [captivity is] long: build you2f houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29And Tzefan’yahu [Yehovah has treasured] the priest read this letter in the ears of Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet.
30Then came the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed], saying,
31Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) concerning Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the Nechelami [he of the dream]; Because that Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] has prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32Therefore thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, I will punish Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the Nechelami [he of the dream], and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); because he has taught rebellion against the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
