1Yo, word from the Lord hit Jeremiah in the tenth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, and it was Nebuchadrezzar’s eighteenth year. Major vibes.

2So, the Babylonians were straight-up surrounding Jerusalem, and Jeremiah was chilling in the prison court at the king’s crib.

3Zedekiah was like, "Why you prophesying, fam? God said He’s handing this city over to Babylon, and they’re taking it."

4Zedekiah ain't escaping the Chaldeans; he’s definitely getting delivered to Babylon, and they’ll chat face to face, no cap.

5He’ll take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he’s stuck there till I check on him, says the Lord: even if you fight the Chaldeans, you ain't winning.

6Then Jeremiah was like, "The Lord dropped this word on me, saying,"

7“Check it, Hanameel, your uncle's son, is gonna roll up to you, saying, ‘Buy my field in Anathoth, it’s your move to cop it.’”

8So, Hanameel pulled up to me in the prison court, just like the Lord said, and was like, “Yo, buy my field in Anathoth, it’s yours to inherit.” I knew then this was from the Lord.

9So, I bought the field from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, in Anathoth and dropped him some cash—seventeen shekels of silver, no cap.

10I signed the deal, sealed it up, got witnesses, and weighed the cash like a boss.

11So I took the purchase proof, both the sealed vibes and the open ones, fr.

12I handed the purchase proof to Baruch, son of Neriah, in front of Hanameel, my uncle’s kid, and all the witnesses who were there, no cap.

13I told Baruch in front of them, "Listen up."

14The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said, "Take these proofs, the sealed and the open ones, and stash them in a clay pot so they last a long time, periodt."

15The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, is saying that houses, fields, and vineyards will be owned again in this land.

16After I gave the purchase proof to Baruch, I prayed to the Lord, saying,

17"Yo, Lord God! You made the heaven and the earth with your epic power and strong arm, and nothing’s too tough for you, fr."

18You show mad love to thousands and pay back the wrongs of the fathers to their kids after them; the Great and Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, that's your name, no cap.

19You're great in advice and strong in action; your eyes see all the ways of humans, giving everyone what they deserve based on their actions, periodt.

20You set up signs and wonders in Egypt, even now, and in Israel, and made a name for yourself, just like today.

21You brought your squad, Israel, outta Egypt with mad signs and wonders, flexin' hard with a strong hand, and it was straight-up terrifying; vibes were intense.

22You hooked them up with this land you promised their fam, a place dripping with milk and honey; that's lit!

23They rolled in and took over, but no cap, they ignored your vibe and didn’t follow your rules; they straight-up ghosted on your commands, so all this bad stuff hit them hard.

24Yo, check it, the mountains are coming for the city to take it; the Chaldeans got the city on lock, fighting hard 'cause of the sword, famine, and pestilence; what you said is happening, and you see it, periodt.

25You told me, "Yo, Lord God, cop that field for cash and get some witnesses; the city is in the Chaldeans' hands."

26Then the Lord hit up Jeremiah with the word, saying,

27Yo, I’m the Lord, God of all flesh: is there anything too sus for me?

28So the Lord said, "Bet, I’m giving this city to the Chaldeans and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon; he’s gonna take it."

29The Chaldeans fighting this city are gonna roll up and set it on fire, burning it down along with the houses where they’ve been vibing with Baal and pouring out offerings to other gods, trying to get me mad.

30The kids of Israel and Judah have just been on some evil vibes since day one; the kids of Israel have only made me mad with their actions, says the Lord.

31This city’s been a total vibe check for my anger since day one, and I’m thinking about ghosting it for real.

32All the sus stuff the kids of Israel and Judah pulled to get me mad, like their kings, princes, priests, and all the peeps in Jerusalem, no cap.

33They turned their backs on me, ignoring my teachings even though I was up early trying to school them, fr.

34But they went and put their wild stuff in my crib, like, why you gotta defile it?

35They built those high places for Baal in the valley, making their kids pass through fire for Molech, which I straight up said not to do, sus vibes.

36So here’s the deal from the Big Guy, the God of Israel: this city you think is going down to the Babylonians by sword, famine, and pestilence?

37Bet, I’m gonna gather them from all the places I sent them off in my anger, and I’ll bring them back to chill here safely.

38They’ll be my fam, and I’ll be their God, periodt.

39I’m giving them one heart and one path so they can fear me forever, for their good and their kids’ good too.

40I’ll make a forever deal with them, no backing out to do them good; I’ll put my fear in their hearts so they won’t dip from me.

41For real, I'm gonna vibe with them and do good stuff, planting them in this land with my whole heart and soul, no cap.

42God’s like, “Listen up, I brought all that drama on them, but I’m also gonna drop all the good I promised, periodt.”

43Fields are gonna be bought in this land, even though y’all think it’s dead with no peeps or animals; it’s in the hands of the Chaldeans, fr.

44People gonna buy fields for cash, sign the papers, seal the deal, and get witnesses in Benjamin, around Jerusalem, and all over Judah; I’m bringing their squad back, says the Lord.

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

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 king of Judah’s house.

3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

5And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

6And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

7Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

8So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

9And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

10And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

11So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

12And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

13And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

14Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

15For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

16Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the Lord, saying,

17Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

18Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name,

19Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

21And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;

22And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

23And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

25And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

27Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

28Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

29And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.

31For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

32Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

34But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

35And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

36And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

37Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

38And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

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, that they shall not depart from me.

41Yea, 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.

42For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

43And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

44Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take 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 south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
