1 猶大王西底家第九年十,巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍圍困耶路撒冷

2 西底家十一年初九日,城被攻破。

3 耶路撒冷被攻取的時候,巴比倫王的首領尼甲•沙利薛、三甲•尼波、撒西金─拉撒力、尼甲•沙利薛─拉墨,並巴比倫王其餘的一切首領都在中

4 猶大王西底家和一切兵丁見他們,就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的出城逃跑,往亞拉巴逃去。

5 迦勒底軍隊追趕他們,在耶利哥平原追上西底家,將他拿住,帶到哈馬的利比拉、巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒那裡;尼布甲尼撒就審判他。

6 巴比倫王在利比拉、西底家眼前殺了他的眾子,又殺了猶大的一切貴冑,

7 並且剜西底家的眼睛,用銅鍊鎖著他,要到巴比倫去。

8 迦勒底人焚燒王宮和百姓的房屋,又拆毀耶路撒冷城牆

9 那時,護衛長尼布撒拉旦將城裡所剩下的百姓和投降他的逃民,以及其餘的民都擄到巴比倫去了。

10 護衛長尼布撒拉旦卻將民中毫無所有的窮人留在猶大,當時他們葡萄園和田

11 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒提到耶利米,囑咐護衛長尼布撒拉旦說:

12 你領他去,好好地看待他,切不可害他;他對你怎麼,你就向他怎麼行。

13 護衛長尼布撒拉旦和尼布沙斯班─拉撒力、尼甲•沙利薛─拉墨,並巴比倫王的一切長,

14 打發人去,將耶利米從護衛兵院中提出來,交與沙番的孫子亞希甘的兒子基大利,帶回去。於是耶利米在民中。

15 耶利米還囚在護衛兵院中的時候,耶和華的臨到他說:

16 你去告訴古實人以伯•米勒,萬軍之耶和華以色列的如此:我降禍不降福的必臨到這城,到那時必在你面前成就了。

17 耶和華:到那日我必拯救你,你必不致交在你所怕的人中。

18 我定要搭你,你不致倒在刀下,卻要以自己的命為掠物,因你倚靠我。這是耶和華的。

39. The Lord is called the God of Israel and the God of Jacob. This is apparent from the following:

Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which Jehovah has made with you....” ...and they saw the God of Israel, under whose feet was as it were a work of sapphire stone, and it was like the essence of heaven.... (Exodus 24:8-10)

...the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking..., the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. (Matthew 15:31)

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He visited and brought deliverance to His people (Israel), when He raised up a horn of our salvation in the house of David.... (Luke 1:68-69)

I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who have called you by your name, am the God of Israel. (Isaiah 45:3)

...O house of Jacob..., who swear by the name of Jehovah and...of the God of Israel.... For they are called from the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel, Jehovah of Hosts His name. (Isaiah 48:1-2)

...(Jacob) will see his children..., in his midst they will hallow My name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. (Isaiah 29:23)

...at the end of days...many people shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob, who will teach us about His ways, that we may walk in His paths.” (Isaiah 2:2-3, Micah 4:1-2)

...that all flesh may know that I am Jehovah, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 49:26)

...I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. (Isaiah 60:16)

Give birth, O earth, in the presence of the Lord, in the presence of the God of Jacob.... (Psalms 114:7)

(David) swore to Jehovah, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: “I will not go into the shelter of my house...until I find a place for Jehovah, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” ...we heard of it in Ephrathah (Bethlehem). (Psalms 132:2-3, 5-6)

Blessed be...the God of Israel.... The whole earth will be filled with His glory. (Psalms 72:18-19)

And so on elsewhere where the Lord is called the God of Israel, its Redeemer and Savior, as for example in Luke 1:47, Isaiah 45:15, 54:5, and Psalms 78:35.

In many other places, too, where He is called simply the God of Israel, as in Isaiah 17:6, 21:10, 17, 24:15, 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3, 9:15, 11:3, 13:12, 16:9, 19:3, 15, 23:2, 24:5, 25:15, 27, 29:4, 8, 21, 25, 30:2, 31:23, 32:14-15, 36, 33:4, 34:2, 13, 35:13, 17-19, 37:7, 38:17, 39:16, 42:9, 15, 18, 43:10, 44:2, 7, 11, 25, 48:1, 50:18, 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4, 9:3, 10:19-20, 11:22, 43:2, 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13, 59:5, 68:8.
