Jeremiah, Chapter 38

¹ Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people, saying, ² “Thus says the LORD, ‘He who stays in this city will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live and have his own life as booty and stay alive.’ ³ Thus says the LORD, ‘This city will certainly be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon and he will capture it.’” ⁴ Then the officials said to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, inasmuch as he is^a Lit weakening the hands ofdiscouraging the men of war who are left in this city and^b Lit the hands of allall the people, by speaking such words to them; for this man is not seeking the well-being of this people but rather their harm.” ⁵ So King Zedekiah said, “Behold, he is in your^c Lit handhands; for the king can do nothing against you.” ⁶ Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchijah the king’s son, which was in the court of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. Now in the cistern there was no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud. ⁷ But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,^d Or an officiala eunuch, while he was in the king’s palace, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern. Now the king was sitting in the Gate of Benjamin; ⁸ and Ebed-melech went out from the king’s palace and spoke to the king, saying, ⁹ “My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the cistern; and he^e M.T. reads has diedwill die right where he is because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.” ¹⁰ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take thirty men from here^f Lit in your handunder your authority and bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he dies.” ¹¹ So Ebed-melech took the men under his^g Lit handauthority and went into the king’s palace to a place beneath the storeroom and took from there worn-out clothes and worn-out rags and let them down by ropes into the cistern to Jeremiah. ¹² Then Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, “Now put these worn-out clothes and rags under your armpits under the ropes”; and Jeremiah did so. ¹³ So they pulled Jeremiah up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern, and Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guardhouse.	1 Jer 37:3 Jer 21:1 2 Jer 21:9 Jer 34:17 Jer 42:17 Jer 21:9 Jer 39:18 Jer 45:5 3 Jer 21:10 Jer 32:3-5 4 Jer 18:23 Jer 26:11 Jer 26:21 Jer 36:12 Exo 5:4 Ki1 18:17 Ki1 18:18 Ki1 21:20 Neh 6:9 Amo 7:10 Act 16:20 Jer 29:7 5 Sa2 3:39 6 Jer 37:16 Jer 37:21 Act 16:24 Psa 40:2 Psa 69:2 Psa 69:14 Psa 69:15 Jer 38:22 Zec 9:11 7 Jer 39:16 Jer 29:2 Act 8:27 Deu 21:19 Job 29:7 Jer 37:13 Amo 5:10 9 Jer 37:21 Jer 52:6 13 Neh 3:25 Jer 32:2 Jer 37:21 Jer 38:6 Jer 39:14 Jer 39:15 Act 23:35 Act 24:27 Act 28:16 Act 28:30
¹⁴ Then King Zedekiah sent and^h Lit took Jeremiah the prophet to himhad Jeremiah the prophet brought to him at the third entrance that is in the house of the LORD; and the king said to Jeremiah, “I am going to ask you something; do not hide anything from me.” ¹⁵ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I tell you, will you not certainly put me to death? Besides, if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.” ¹⁶ But King Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in secret saying, “As the LORD lives, who made thisⁱ Lit soullife for us, surely I will not put you to death nor will I give you over to the hand of these men who are seeking your^j Lit soullife.”	14 Jer 21:1 Jer 21:2 Jer 37:17 Sa1 3:17 Sa1 3:18 Ki1 22:16 Jer 15:11 Jer 42:2-5 Jer 42:20 15 Luk 22:67 Luk 22:68 16 Jer 37:17 Joh 3:2 Num 16:22 Num 27:16 Isa 42:5 Isa 57:16 Zec 12:1 Act 17:25 Act 17:28 Jer 34:20 Jer 38:4-6
¹⁷ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘If you will indeed go out to the officers of the king of Babylon, then^k Lit your soulyou will live, this city will not be burned with fire, and you and your household will^l Lit livesurvive. ¹⁸ But if you will not go out to the officers of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given over to the hand of the Chaldeans; and they will burn it with fire, and you yourself will not escape from their hand.’” ¹⁹ Then King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I dread the Jews who have^m Lit fallengone over to the Chaldeans, for they may give me over into their hand and they will abuse me.” ²⁰ But Jeremiah said, “They will not give you over. Pleaseⁿ Lit listen to the voice ofobey the LORD in what I am saying to you, that it may go well with you and^o Lit your soulyou may live. ²¹ But if you keep refusing to go out, this is the word which the LORD has shown me: ²² ‘Then behold, all of the women who have been left in the palace of the king of Judah are going to be brought out to the^p Or princesofficers of the king of Babylon; and those women will say, “^q Lit The men of your peaceYour close friends Have misled and overpowered you; While your feet were sunk in the mire, They turned back.”	17 Psa 80:7 Psa 80:14 Amo 5:27 Ch1 17:24 Eze 8:4 Ki2 24:12 Ki2 25:27-30 Jer 21:8-10 Jer 27:12 Jer 27:17 Jer 38:2 Jer 39:3 18 Jer 27:8 Ki2 25:4-10 Jer 24:8-10 Jer 32:3-5 Jer 37:8 Jer 38:3 Jer 32:4 Jer 34:3 19 Isa 51:12 Isa 51:13 Isa 57:11 Joh 12:42 Joh 19:12 Joh 19:13 Jer 39:9 Ch2 30:10 Neh 4:1 Jer 38:22 20 Ch2 20:20 Jer 11:4 Jer 11:8 Jer 26:13 Dan 4:27 Act 26:29 Jer 7:23 Gen 19:20 Isa 55:3 22 Jer 6:12 Jer 8:10 Jer 43:6
²³ They will also bring out all your wives and your sons to the Chaldeans, and you yourself will not escape from their hand, but will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned with fire.’”	23 Ki2 25:7 Jer 39:6 Jer 41:10 Jer 38:18 Jer 38:18
²⁴ Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Let no man know about these words and you will not die. ²⁵ But if the officials hear that I have talked with you and come to you and say to you, ‘Tell us now what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us and we will not put you to death,’ ²⁶ then you are to say to them, ‘I was presenting my petition before the king, not to make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.’” ²⁷ Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him. So he reported to them in accordance with all these words which the king had commanded; and they ceased speaking with him, since the^r Lit wordconversation had not been overheard. ²⁸ So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guardhouse until the day that Jerusalem was captured.	25 Jer 38:4-6 Jer 38:27 26 Jer 37:20 28 Psa 23:4 Jer 15:20 Jer 15:21 Jer 37:20 Jer 37:21 Jer 38:13 Jer 39:13 Jer 39:14
