YirmYâ ́huw (Jeremiah) 51

Yâ-hwéh's plea and threat

1. The message that was towards YirmYâ ́huw to all of the Yâhuwthím dwelling in the land of Mitsráyim, who were living in Tower (Miğdól), in 'You shall fill hands with pity' (Tchaphnchë ́ç), (and in Presentability (Noph),) and in the land of South Region (Pathrówç), saying: 2. "Thus says Yâ-hwéh the Power of Yisrâ’ë ́l: You have seen all of the disaster that I have caused to come upon Yruwshâláim and on all of the cities of Yâhuwthâ ́h, and look, this day they are a ruin and there is no one dwelling in them, 3. due to the presence of their evil that they worked to provoke Me to anger, going to burn incense to serve other mighty ones which they have not known them, neither you nor your fathers, 4. So I sent to you My servants the preilluminators making an early start, and dispatching to say, 'Please do not do this disgusting thing which I hate.' 5. But they did not heed and they did not listen their ear to turn back from their evil to not burn incense to other mighty ones; 6. So My fury and My anger were poured out and it burned in the cities of Yâhuwthâ ́h and in the streets of Yruwshâláim and it became for a ruin, for a devastation, as this day; 7. So at this time, thus says Yâ-hwéh the Upholder of all: "For what reason are you working a huge evil towards your lives, to cut off from your men and women and children and infants from the midst of Yâhuwthâ ́h in order to not preserve alive a remnant for you? 8. To provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other mighty ones in the land of Mitsráyim where you have entered to sojourn in order that amputation be yours and in order that ye might become for a curse and for a reproach among all of the heathen masses of the earth? 9. Have ye forgotten the evils of your fathers and the evils of the kings of Yâhuwthâ ́h and the evils of his exalted ones and the evils of your wives which they worked in the land of Yâhuwthâ ́h and in the streets of Yruwshâláim? 10. They have not ceased unto this day and they have not kept My decrees that I gave before you and before your fathers; 11. Therefore, thus says Yâ-hwéh: Look! I have set My face against you 12. to destroy all the remnant (of Yâhuwthâ ́h) which are in (the land of) Mitsráyim. And they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine, and they shall be finished off from the least even unto the greatest and they shall become for a curse for a horror and for a reproach; 13. And I will reckon it upon the ones dwelling in the land of Mitsráyim just as I reckoned it upon Yruwshâláim by the sword, by the famine; 14. And there shall not be no one preserved to the remnant of Yâhuwthâ ́h who sojourn in the land of Mitsráyim to return to the land of Yâhuwthâ ́h where their self (néphesh) desires to return, because the ones [not] turning back I will not return unless they escape."

Rebels respond

1. And all of the mortal men answered YirmYâ ́huw, who knew that their wives were burning incense to other mighty ones, and all of the women took a stand, a large assembly, and all of the people who were dwelling in the land of Mitsráyim in South Region (Pathrówç), saying: 16. "The message that you dictated to us in the name of Yâ-hwéh, none of us are heeding you, 17. Because we will surely do everything that came out of our mouth, to burn incense to the Queen of the heavens, and to pour out for her drink offerings just as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our officials in the cities of Yâhuwthâ ́h and in the streets of Yruwshâláim, when we were sated with food and we were prosperous, and we saw no harm; 18. But from when we ceased burning incense for the Queen of the heavens and pouring out for her drink offerings, we have lacked everything and we are being finished off by the sword and by the famine! 19. So consequently we are the ones burning incense to the Queen of the heavens and pouring out for her drink offerings. Was it without our husbands that we made for her offering cakes for her image and poured out for her drink offerings?"

YirmYâ ́huw responds

1. And YirmYâ ́huw said to all of the people concerning the valiant men and concerning the wives and all of the people who had answered him a message, saying: 21. "Didn't Yâ-hwéh remember the incense which you and your fathers, your kings and your officials, and the people of the land burned in the cities of Yâhuwthâ ́h and in the streets of Yruwshâláim and didn't it arise on His heart? 22. When Yâ-hwéh could no longer bear it due to the presence of the evil of your practices [traditions] and due to the presence of the abominations that you committed, then your land became for a ruin and a waste and for a curse as this day 23. due to the face of that ye have been burning incense and that which you erred against Yâ-hwéh, and you have not heeded the voice of Yâ-hwéh nor did you walk in His instructions nor His statutes nor His testimonies; this is why this disaster has befallen you!"

Yâ-hwéh responds removing His name from their speech

1. And YirmYâ ́huw said to all of the people and all of the wives, "Heed the Word of Yâ-hwéh, 25. Thus says Yâ-hwéh the Power of Yisrâ’ë ́l: You (and your) wives have spoken by your mouth and by your hands you fulfilled it, saying, "We shall surely accomplish our vows which we vowed, to burn incense to the Queen of the heavens and to pour out for her drink offerings" Ye surely establish your vows and you surely accomplish your vows. 26. Therefore hear the Word of Yâ-hwéh, all of Yâhuwthâ ́h who are dwelling in the land of Mitsráyim: Look, I am swearing by My great name," says Yâ-hwéh, "that My name will not again be called by the mouth of anyone of Yâhuwthâ ́h, saying "my Sovereign Yâ-hwéh lives" in all the land of Mitsráyim! 27. Look, I am keeping watch over them for harm and not for goodness, and each one of Yâhuwthâ ́h which is in the land of Mitsráyim shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine until they are terminated. 28. But a few men escaped from the sword will return to the land of Yâhuwthâ ́h, and the remnant of Yâhuwthâ ́h who came to the land of Mitsráyim to sojourn there will know Whose word it is that will stand, 29. And this is for you the sign," declares Yâ-hwéh, "that I am reckoning it upon you for harm." 30. Thus says Yâ-hwéh, "Look, I am giving over Phar'óh Châfrá the king of Mitsráyim into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of the ones seeking his life, just as I gave over TsithqiyYâ ́huw the king of Yâhuwthâ ́h into the hand of Nvúwkhathne’tsTsár the king of Bâvél his enemy who sought his life."
