YirmYâ ́huw (Jeremiah) 34

Yâ-hwéh sends ultimatum to foreign kings: surrender to Bâvél

1. [v1 not in LXX, modified scribal repetition of 26:1] 2. Thus says Yâ-hwéh to me, "Make yourself straps and a yoke and you shall put them on your neck;3. And you shall send them to the king of ’Ethówm and to the king of Mow’â ́v and to the king of the sons of Ammówn and to the king of Tsuwr and to the King of Tsiythówn, by the hand of envoys coming to Yruwshâláim to TsithqiyYâ ́huw the king of Yâhuwthâ ́h; 4. And you shall give charge to them to say to their sovereigns, "Thus says Yâ-hwéh the Power of Yisrâ’ë ́l: Thus shall you say to your sovereigns: 5. I am the One Who made the earth, mankind, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth by My great strength, and by My extended sowing Arm, and I shall give her to whoever is upright in My eyes; 6. So now I am the One Who shall give all of these territories into the hand of Nvúwkhathne’tsTsár the king of Bâvél My servant, and even the animals of the field have I given to him to work for him, 7. () 8. and it shall happen the heathen mass or the kingdom that will not serve him, Nvúwkhathne’tsTsár the king of Bâvél or that will not give his neck into the yoke of the king of Bâvél, I shall reckon by the famine and by the pestilence upon that heathen mass," declares Yâ-hwéh, "until they are finished off by his hand; 9. So ye, do not listen to your preachers of the Lie, or to your spiritists, or to your dream foretellers, or to your conjurers, or to your sorcerers, they which are the ones speaking to you, saying, "Ye shall not serve the king of Bâvél", 10. Because it is a Lie they are preaching to you in order that ye be removed far away from on your land, (so I should thrust you out and you should perish.) 11. But the heathen mass which will bring his neck into the yoke of the king of Bâvél and will serve him, then I shall let it remain upon its land, ("declares Yâ-hwéh,") and it shall serve him, and it shall dwell in her."

Message repeated to TsithqiyYâ ́huw. Do not hope for original Temple equipment

1. So I dictated to TsithqiyYâ ́huw the king of Yâhuwthâ ́h likewise all of these words, saying, "Bring your necks into the yoke of the king of Bâvél, and serve him (and his people and live!) 13. (Why would you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, or by the pestilence, just as Yâ-hwéh dictated to the heathen mass that would not serve the king of Bâvél?) 14. (So do not listen to the words of the preachers who are speaking to you, saying, "You shall not serve the king of Bâvél",) because it is a Lie they are preilluminating to you, 15. because I have not sent them;" declares Yâ-hwéh, "And they are preilluminating by My name about the Lie, in order that I should thrust you out so you should perish, you and the preilluminators preaching to you." 16. And to the priests and to all this people, I dictated, saying: "Thus says Yâ-hwéh: Do not listen to the words of the preachers who are preaching to you, saying, "Look! The equipment of the house of Yâ-hwéh are to be brought back from Bâvél!", because it is a Lie they are preaching to you; 17. I did not send them. 18. So if they are preilluminators, and if the Word of Yâ-hwéh is with them, let them entreat Me, for thus has Yâ-hwéh said. 19. But as for the remaining equipment, 20. Which the king of Bâvél did not take when he carried YkânYâ ́huw captive out of Yruwshâláim, 21. () 22. they shall be taken into Bâvél," declares Yâ-hwéh.
