彼之所為、耶和華示我、我悉知之、

耶利米曰、民謀害予、乃蒙耶和華默示、俾我灼知、

先知曰、彼所欲為、主已示我、主既示我、則我悉知、

Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing.

The Lord told me about the evil plans of my enemies. That’s how I knew about them. He showed me what they were doing.

The Lord made it known to me and I knew; then you showed me their deeds.

Then the Lord told me about the plots my enemies were making against me.

The LORD informed me, so I knew. Then you helped me to see their deeds,

Moreover, the Lord made it known to me and I knew it; Then You showed me their deeds.

Now the Lord gave me knowledge of it, and I know it; for You showed me their doings.

And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou showedst me their doings.

The Lord informed me, so I knew. Then You helped me to see their deeds,

And the LORD hath given me knowledge[ of it], and I know[ it]: then thou shewedst me their doings.

Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.

Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, please inform your servant!” Then the LORD said,“ He will come down.”David asked,“ Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me and my men into Saul’s hand?” The LORD said,“ They will deliver you over.”

But the prophet sent this message to the king of Israel,“ Make sure you don’t pass through this place because Syria is invading there.”So the king of Israel sent a message to the place the prophet had pointed out, warning it to be on its guard. This happened on several occasions.

He said to me,“ Son of man, do you see what they are doing– the great abominations that the people of Israel are practicing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see greater abominations than these!”He brought me to the entrance of the court, and as I watched, I noticed a hole in the wall.He said to me,“ Son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway.He said to me,“ Go in and see the evil abominations they are practicing here.”So I went in and looked. I noticed every figure of creeping thing and beast– detestable images– and every idol of the house of Israel, engraved on the wall all around.Seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel( with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them) were standing in front of them, each with a censer in his hand, and fragrant vapors from a cloud of incense were swirling upward.He said to me,“ Do you see, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each in the chamber of his idolatrous images? For they think,‘ The LORD does not see us! The LORD has abandoned the land!’”He said to me,“ You will see them practicing even greater abominations!”Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the LORD’s house. I noticed women sitting there weeping for Tammuz.He said to me,“ Do you see this, son of man? You will see even greater abominations than these!”Then he brought me to the inner court of the LORD’s house. Right there at the entrance to the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the LORD’s temple, facing east– they were worshiping the sun toward the east!He said to me,“ Do you see, son of man? Is it a trivial thing that the house of Judah commits these abominations they are practicing here? For they have filled the land with violence and provoked me to anger still further. Look, they are putting the branch to their nose!Therefore I will act with fury! My eye will not pity them nor will I spare them. When they have shouted in my ears, I will not listen to them.”

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

So he sent horses and chariots there, along with a good-sized army. They arrived during the night and surrounded the city.The prophet’s attendant got up early in the morning. When he went outside there was an army surrounding the city, along with horses and chariots. He said to Elisha,“ Oh no, my master! What will we do?”He replied,“ Don’t be afraid, for our side outnumbers them.”Then Elisha prayed,“ O LORD, open his eyes so he can see.” The LORD opened the servant’s eyes and he saw that the hill was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.As they approached him, Elisha prayed to the LORD,“ Strike these people with blindness.” The LORD struck them with blindness as Elisha requested.Then Elisha said to them,“ This is not the right road or city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you’re looking for.” He led them to Samaria.When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said,“ O LORD, open their eyes, so they can see.” The LORD opened their eyes and they saw that they were in the middle of Samaria.

Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying,“ Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! Let’s remove Jeremiah from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more.”

If anyone says anything to you, you are to say,‘ The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”
