KJVThus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

GIGAKJVThe Lord says this, the God of Israel. Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, The Lord says this. I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

KJVAnd thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

GIGAKJVAnd you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand. And your eyes shall look on the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.

GIGAKJVBut you shall die in peace: and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings which were before you, so they shall burn aromas for you. And they will lament you, saying, Ah lord! For I have pronounced the word, says the Lord.

KJVThis is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

GIGAKJVThis is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them.

KJVThat every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.

GIGAKJVThat every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, whether a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free. That none should serve himself of them, namely, of a Jew his brother.

KJVNow when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

GIGAKJVNow when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his male servant, and every one his female servant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

GIGAKJVThe Lord says this, the God of Israel. I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves, saying,

KJVAt the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

GIGAKJVAt the end of seven years let you go every man his brother a Hebrew, which has been sold to you. And when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers did not listen to me, neither listened closely.

KJVAnd ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

GIGAKJVYou had recently turned back, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor. And you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

KJVBut ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

GIGAKJVBut you turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his female servant, who he had set free to go where they wished, to return, and brought them under control, to be to you for servants and for female servants.

KJVTherefore thus saith the Lord; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

GIGAKJVTherefore the Lord says this. You have not listened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: I proclaim a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to the plague, and to the famine. And I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

GIGAKJVAnd I will give the men who have broken my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between its parts,

KJVThe princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

GIGAKJVThe princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf.

KJVI will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

GIGAKJVI will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

GIGAKJVI will command, says the Lord, and cause them to return to this city. And they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a ruin with no one living there.
