Jeremiah 32:16-25

¹⁶ And I pray unto Jehovah—after my giving the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah—saying, ¹⁷ 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there is nothing too wonderful for Thee: ¹⁸ Doing kindness to thousands, and recompensing iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, Jehovah of Hosts 'is' His name, ¹⁹ Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: ²⁰ In that thou hast done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt unto this day, and in Israel, and among men, and Thou dost make for Thee a name as 'at' this day. ²¹ 'And Thou bringest forth Thy people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, ²² And thou givest to them this land that thou didst swear to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey, ²³ And they come in, and possess it, and they have not hearkened to Thy voice, and in Thy law have not walked, all that which Thou didst lay a charge on them to do they have not done, and Thou dost proclaim 'to' them all this evil. ²⁴ 'Lo, the mounts—they have come in to the city to capture it, and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which Thou hast spoken hath come to pass, and lo, Thou art seeing; ²⁵ Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy for thee the field with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!'
