3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon entered and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 AND IT WAS JUST WHEN HE SAW THEM ZEDEKIAH [THE] KING OF JUDAH AND ALL [THE] MEN OF <THE> WAR AND THEY FLED AND THEY WENT OUT NIGHT FROM THE CITY [THE] WAY OF [THE] GARDEN OF THE KING IN A GATE BETWEEN THE TWO WALLS AND HE WENT OUT [THE] WAY OF THE ARABAH
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled. They left the city at night by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and they went out along the route to the Arabah.
5 AND THEY PURSUED [THE] ARMY OF [THE] CHALDEANS AFTER THEM AND THEY OVERTOOK <OBJ.> ZEDEKIAH IN [THE] PLAINS OF JERICHO AND THEY SEIZED <OBJ.> HIM AND THEY BROUGHT UP HIM TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR [THE] KING OF BABYLON RIBLAH TOWARDS IN [THE] LAND OF HAMATH AND HE SPOKE WITH HIM JUDGMENTS
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
6 AND HE SLAUGHTERED [THE] KING OF BABYLON <OBJ.> [THE] SONS OF ZEDEKIAH AT RIBLAH TO EYES HIS AND <OBJ.> ALL [THE] NOBLES OF JUDAH HE SLAUGHTERED [THE] KING OF BABYLON
6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 AND <OBJ.> [THE] EYES OF ZEDEKIAH HE MADE BLIND AND HE BOUND HIM WITH <THE> BRONZE FETTERS TO TAKE <OBJ.> HIM BABYLON TOWARDS
7 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.
8 AND <OBJ.> [THE] HOUSE OF THE KING AND <OBJ.> [THE] HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE THEY BURNED THE CHALDEANS WITH <THE> FIRE AND <OBJ.> [THE] WALLS OF JERUSALEM THEY BROKE DOWN
8 The Chaldeans set fire to the palace of the king and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

9 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to him.
10 AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE <THE> POOR WHO NOT [BELONGED] TO <THE> THEM ANYTHING HE LEFT NEBUZARADAN [THE] CHIEF OF [THE] BODYGUARDS IN [THE] LAND OF JUDAH AND HE GAVE TO <THE> THEM VINEYARDS AND FIELDS ON THE DAY <THE> THAT
10 But Nebuzaradan left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people who had no property, and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
11 AND HE COMMANDED NEBUCHADNEZZAR [THE] KING OF BABYLON ON JEREMIAH BY [THE] HAND OF NEBUZARADAN [THE] CHIEF OF [THE] BODYGUARDS <TO> SAYING
Jeremiah Delivered
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
12 TAKE HIM AND EYES YOUR SET ON HIM AND MAY NOT YOU DO TO <THE> HIM ANYTHING HARMFUL THAT JUST AS HE WILL SAY TO YOU SO DO WITH HIM
12 “Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says
13 AND HE SENT NEBUZARADAN [THE] CHIEF OF [THE] BODYGUARDS AND NEBUSHAZBAN [THE] RAB- SARIS AND NERGAL- SHAR- EZER [THE] RAB- MAG AND ALL [THE] CHIEFS OF [THE] KING OF BABYLON
13 So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the captains of the king of Babylon
14 AND THEY SENT AND THEY FETCHED <OBJ.> JEREMIAH FROM [THE] COURTYARD OF THE GUARD AND THEY GAVE OVER <OBJ.> HIM TO GEDALIAH [THE] SON OF AHIKAM [THE] SON OF SHAPHAN TO TAKE OUT HIM TO THE HOUSE AND HE REMAINED IN AMONG THE PEOPLE
14 had Jeremiah brought from the courtyard of the guard, and they turned him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So Jeremiah remained among his own people.
15 AND TO JEREMIAH IT HAD COME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH WHEN WAS HE SHUT UP IN [THE] COURTYARD OF THE GUARD <TO> SAYING
15 And while Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD had come to him:
16 GO AND YOU WILL SAY TO EBED MELECH THE CUSHITE <TO> SAYING THUS HE SAYS YAHWEH OF HOSTS [THE] GOD OF ISRAEL HERE I [AM] ABOUT TO BRING <OBJ.> WORDS MY AGAINST THE CITY <THE> THIS FOR HARM AND NOT FOR GOOD AND THEY WILL HAPPEN <TO> BEFORE YOU ON THE DAY <THE> THAT
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I am about to fulfill My words against this city for harm and not for good, and on that day they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
17 AND I WILL DELIVER YOU ON THE DAY <THE> THAT [THE] UTTERANCE OF YAHWEH AND NOT YOU WILL BE GIVEN IN [THE] HAND OF THE PEOPLE WHOM YOU [ARE] FEARFUL OF <BEFORE> THEM
17 But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
18 FOR CERTAINLY <RESCUE> I WILL RESCUE YOU AND BY THE SWORD NOT YOU WILL FALL AND IT WILL BELONG TO <THE> YOU LIFE YOUR TO PLUNDER FOR YOU TRUSTED IN <THE> ME [THE] UTTERANCE OF YAHWEH
18 For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war, declares the LORD.’”
