Jeremiah 40:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,

³ And he hath brought it: and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you.

⁴ Now then behold I have loosed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hands: if it please thee to come with me to Babylon, come: and I will set my eyes upon thee: but if it do not please thee to come with me to Babylon, stay here: behold all the land is before thee, as thou shalt choose, and whither it shall please thee to go, thither go.
