1
 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2
 that the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3
 The aged women likewise, that
they be
in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4
 that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5
Â
to be
discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6
 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7
 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine
shewing
uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8
 sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9
Â
Exhort
servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
and
to please
them
well in all
things;
not answering again;
10
 not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11
 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12
 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13
 looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14
 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15
 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

 The L
ORD
reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth
between
the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
2
 The L
ORD
is
great in Zion; and he
is
high above all the people.
3
 Let them praise thy great and terrible name;
for
it
is
holy.
4
 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5
 Exalt ye the L
ORD
our God, and worship at his footstool;
for
he
is
holy.
6
 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the L
ORD
, and he answered them.
7
 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance
that
he gave them.
8
 Thou answeredst them, O L
ORD
our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9
 Exalt the L
ORD
our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the L
ORD
our God
is
holy.
17
 He that passeth by,
and
meddleth with strife
belonging
not to him,
is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears.
54
 A sound of a cry
cometh
from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55
 Because the L
ORD
hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56
 Because the spoiler is come upon her,
even
upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the L
ORD
God of recompences shall surely requite.
57
 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise
men,
her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name
is
the L
ORD
of hosts.
58
 Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59
 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And
this
Seraiah
was
a quiet prince.
60
 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon,
even
all these words that are written against Babylon.
61
 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
62
 then shalt thou say, O L
ORD
, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63
 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book,
that
thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
64
 and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far
are
the words of Jeremiah.
52:
1
 Zedekiah
was
one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2
 And he did
that which was
evil in the eyes of the L
ORD
, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3
 For through the anger of the L
ORD
it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4
 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth
day
of the month,
that
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
5
 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6
 And in the fourth month, in the ninth
day
of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7
 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which
was
by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans
were
by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
8
 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9
 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
10
 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11
 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
12
 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth
day
of the month, which
was
the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard,
which
served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
13
 and burned the house of the L
ORD
, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great
men,
burned he with fire:
14
 and all the army of the Chaldeans, that
were
with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
15
 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive
certain
of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16
 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left
certain
of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
17
 Also the pillars of brass that
were
in the house of the L
ORD
, and the bases, and the brasen sea that
was
in the house of the L
ORD
, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18
 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
19
 And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups;
that
which
was
of gold
in
gold, and
that
which
was
of silver
in
silver, took the captain of the guard away.
20
 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that
were
under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the L
ORD
: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
21
 And
concerning
the pillars, the height of one pillar
was
eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof
was
four fingers:
it was
hollow.
22
 And a chapiter of brass
was
upon it; and the height of one chapiter
was
five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all
of
brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates
were
like unto these.
23
 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side;
and
all the pomegranates upon the network
were
an hundred round about.
24
 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
25
 he took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26
 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27
 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
28
 This
is
the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
29
 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
30
 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons
were
four thousand and six hundred.
31
 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth
day
of the month,
that
Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the
first
year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
32
 and spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that
were
with him in Babylon,
33
 and changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
34
 And
for
his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
