032:003 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do
you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will
give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon,
and he shall take it;
032:004 and 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 see his eyes;
032:005 and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until
I visit him, says Yahweh: though you fight with the Chaldeans,
you shall not prosper?
032:006 Jeremiah said, The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
032:007 Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come
to you, saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth;
for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.
032:008 So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard
according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy
my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin;
for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption
is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was
the word of Yahweh.
032:009 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son,
and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
032:010 I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses,

032:011 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed,
containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
032:012 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah,
the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle's son,

of the guard.

which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they
may continue many days.
032:015 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Houses and
fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.
032:016 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch
the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,
032:017 Ah Lord Yahweh! behold, you have made the heavens and
the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm;
there is nothing too hard for you,
032:018 who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity
