KJV JER40 with Strong's Hebrew/Greek

40:1 The word [H1697] that came to Jeremiah [H3414] from the LORD [H3068] , after [H310] that Nebuzaradan [H5018] the captain [H7227] of the guard [H2876] had let him go [H7971] from Ramah [H7414] , when he had taken [H3947] him being bound [H631] in chains [H246] among [H8432] all that were carried away captive [H1546] of Jerusalem [H3389] and Judah [H3063] , which were carried away captive [H1540] unto Babylon [H894] .(chains: or, manicles)

40:2 And the captain [H7227] of the guard [H2876] took [H3947] Jeremiah [H3414] , and said [H559] unto him, The LORD [H3068] thy God [H430] hath pronounced [H1696] this evil [H7451] upon this place [H4725] .

40:3 Now the LORD [H3068] hath brought [H935] [it], and done [H6213] according as he hath said [H1696] : because ye have sinned [H2398] against the LORD [H3068] , and have not obeyed [H8085] his voice [H6963] , therefore this thing [H1697] is come upon you.

40:4 And now, behold, I loose [H6605] thee this day [H3117] from the chains [H246] which [were] upon thine hand [H3027] . If it seem good [H2896] [H5869] unto thee to come [H935] with me into Babylon [H894] , come [H935] ; and I will look well [H7760] [H5869] unto thee: but if it seem ill [H7489] [H5869] unto thee to come [H935] with me into Babylon [H894] , forbear [H2308] : behold [H7200] , all the land [H776] [is] before [H6440] thee: whither it seemeth [H413] good [H2896] and convenient [H3477] [H5869] for thee to go [H3212] , thither go [H3212] .(were: or, are upon thine hand)(I will: Heb. I will set mine eye upon thee)

40:5 Now while he was not yet gone back [H7725] , [he said], Go back [H7725] also to Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] the son [H1121] of Shaphan [H8227] , whom the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] hath made governor [H6485] over the cities [H5892] of Judah [H3063] , and dwell [H3427] with him among [H8432] the people [H5971] : or go [H3212] wheresoever it seemeth convenient [H3477] [H5869] unto thee to go [H3212] . So the captain [H7227] of the guard [H2876] gave [H5414] him victuals [H737] and a reward [H4864] , and let him go [H7971] .

40:6 Then went [H935] Jeremiah [H3414] unto Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] to Mizpah [H4708] ; and dwelt [H3427] with him among [H8432] the people [H5971] that were left [H7604] in the land [H776] .

40:7 Now when all the captains [H8269] of the forces [H2428] which [were] in the fields [H7704] , [even] they and their men [H582] , heard [H8085] that the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] had made Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] governor [H6485] in the land [H776] , and had committed [H6485] unto him men [H582] , and women [H802] , and children [H2945] , and of the poor [H1803] of the land [H776] , of them that were not carried away captive [H1540] to Babylon [H894] ;

40:8 Then they came [H935] to Gedaliah [H1436] to Mizpah [H4708] , even Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] , and Johanan [H3110] and Jonathan [H3129] the sons [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , and Seraiah [H8304] the son [H1121] of Tanhumeth [H8576] , and the sons [H1121] of Ephai [H5778] the Netophathite [H5200] , and Jezaniah [H3153] the son [H1121] of a Maachathite [H4602] , they and their men [H582] .

40:9 And Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] the son [H1121] of Shaphan [H8227] sware [H7650] unto them and to their men [H582] , saying [H559] , Fear [H3372] not to serve [H5647] the Chaldeans [H3778] : dwell in [H3427] the land [H776] , and serve [H5647] the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] , and it shall be well [H3190] with you.

40:10 As for me, behold, I will dwell [H3427] at Mizpah [H4709] to serve [H5975] [H6440] the Chaldeans [H3778] , which will come [H935] unto us: but ye, gather [H622] ye wine [H3196] , and summer fruits [H7019] , and oil [H8081] , and put [H7760] [them] in your vessels [H3627] , and dwell [H3427] in your cities [H5892] that ye have taken [H8610] .(to serve: Heb. to stand before)

40:11 Likewise when all the Jews [H3064] that [were] in Moab [H4124] , and among the Ammonites [H5983] , and in Edom [H123] , and that [were] in all the countries [H776] , heard [H8085] that the king [H4428] of Babylon [H894] had left [H5414] a remnant [H7611] of Judah [H3063] , and that he had set [H6485] over them Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] the son [H1121] of Shaphan [H8227] ;

40:12 Even all the Jews [H3064] returned out [H7725] of all places [H4725] whither they were driven [H5080] , and came [H935] to the land [H776] of Judah [H3063] , to Gedaliah [H1436] , unto Mizpah [H4708] , and gathered [H622] wine [H3196] and summer fruits [H7019] very [H3966] much [H7235] .

40:13 Moreover Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , and all the captains [H8269] of the forces [H2428] that [were] in the fields [H7704] , came [H935] to Gedaliah [H1436] to Mizpah [H4708] ,

40:14 And said [H559] unto him, Dost thou certainly [H3045] know [H3045] that Baalis [H1185] the king [H4428] of the Ammonites [H1121] [H5983] hath sent [H7971] Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] to slay [H5221] [H5315] thee? But Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] believed [H539] them not.(to slay: Heb. to strike thee in soul?)

40:15 Then Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] spake [H559] to Gedaliah [H1436] in Mizpah [H4709] secretly [H5643] , saying [H559] , Let me go [H3212] , I pray thee, and I will slay [H5221] Ishmael [H3458] the son [H1121] of Nethaniah [H5418] , and no man [H376] shall know [H3045] [it]: wherefore should he slay [H5221] [H5315] thee, that all the Jews [H3064] which are gathered [H6908] unto thee should be scattered [H6327] , and the remnant [H7611] in Judah [H3063] perish [H6] ?

40:16 But Gedaliah [H1436] the son [H1121] of Ahikam [H296] said [H559] unto Johanan [H3110] the son [H1121] of Kareah [H7143] , Thou shalt not do [H6213] this thing [H1697] : for thou speakest [H1696] falsely [H8267] of Ishmael [H3458] .
