1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.[#2Ki 25:1–2; Jer 39:1–2]
2For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.[#Ne 3:25; Jer 37:21]
3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy? You say: Thus says the Lord : Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it,[#Jer 21:4–7; 34:2–3]
4and Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.[#Jer 38:18, 23]
5And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he will be until I visit him, says the Lord . Though you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.”[#Jer 27:22; #Jer 33:5]
6So Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
7Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth. For the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”[#Jer 1:1; #Lev 25:25]
8So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord and said to me, “Please buy my field, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin, for the right of inheritance and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.”[#Jer 32:2]
Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord .
9I bought the field of Hanamel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.[#32:9 About 7 ounces, or 200 grams.]
10I signed and sealed the deed, and summoned witnesses, and weighed the money from him in the balances.[#Jer 32:12, 44]
11So I took the deed of purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open.[#Lk 2:27]
12And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.[#Jer 32:16; 51:59]
13I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,
14Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this sealed deed of purchase and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel that they may last many days.
15For thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.[#Jer 30:18; 32:43–44]
16Now when I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord , saying:[#Ge 32:9–12; Jer 12:1]
26Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
27Behold, I am the Lord , the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?[#Nu 16:22; 27:16]
28Therefore thus says the Lord : Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it.[#Jer 19:7–12; 32:3]
29And the Chaldeans who fight against this city will come and set this city on fire and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger.[#Jer 21:10; #Jer 19:13]
30Indeed the Israelites and the Judahites have only done evil before Me from their youth. For the Israelites have only provoked Me to anger with the work of their hands, says the Lord .[#Dt 9:7–12]
31Indeed this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that I should remove it from before My face,[#1Ki 11:7–8; #2Ki 23:27]
32because of all the evil of the Israelites and of the Judahites which they have done to provoke Me to anger, they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[#Isa 1:4–6; #Jer 2:26]
33They have turned their back to Me and not their face. Though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have neither listened nor received instruction.[#Jer 2:27; #Jer 7:13]
34But they set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.[#2Ki 21:4–7; Jer 7:30]
35They built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I had not commanded them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.[#Lev 18:21; 20:2–5; #Jer 7:31]
36Now therefore, thus says the Lord , the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, “It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence”:[#Jer 32:3, 24]
37Behold, I will gather them out of all countries wherever I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.[#Jer 23:3; #Jer 23:6]
38And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.[#Jer 24:7; 30:22]
39And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for their good and for their children after them.[#Dt 11:18–21; 2Ch 30:12]
40And I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good. But I will put My fear in their hearts so that they shall not depart from Me.[#Isa 55:3; Jer 50:5]
41Indeed, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul.[#Dt 30:9; Jer 24:6]
42For thus says the Lord : Just as I have brought all this great calamity upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.[#Jer 31:28; Zec 8:14–15]
43Fields will be bought in this land of which you say, It is desolate, without man or beast. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.[#Jer 32:15]
44Men will buy fields for money, sign and seal deeds, and call in witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the Negev; for I will restore their fortunes, says the Lord .[#Jer 17:26; #Jer 33:7]
