1 ¶ In the beginningº of the reignº of Jehoiakimº the sonº of Josiahº kingº of Judahº came² this² wordº unto² Jeremiahº from²² the LORD,º saying,ºª 2 Thus² saithºª the LORDº to² me; Makeºª thee bondsº and yokes,º and putºª them upon² thy neck,º 3 And sendºª them to² the kingº of Edom,º and to² the kingº of Moab,º and to² the kingº of the Ammonites,ºº and to² the kingº of Tyrus,º and to the kingº of Zidon,º by the handº of the messengersº which comeºª to Jerusalemº unto² Zedekiahº kingº of Judah;º 4 And commandºª them to sayºª unto² their masters,º Thus² saithºª the LORDº of hosts,º the Godº of Israel;º Thus² shall ye sayºª unto² your masters;º 5 I² have madeºª² the earth,º² the manº and the beastº that² [are] uponº² the ground,º by my greatº powerº and by my outstretchedºª arm,º and have givenºª it unto whom² it seemedº meetºª unto me. 6 And now² have I² givenºª² all² these² landsº into the handº of Nebuchadnezzarº the kingº of Babylon,º my servant;º and² the beastsº of the fieldº have I givenºª him also² to serveºª him. 7 And all² nationsº shall serveºª him, and his son,º and his son'sº son,º until² the very timeº of his landº come:ºª and then² manyº nationsº and greatº kingsº shall serveºª themselves of him.²
