Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

For thus says the Lord: Behold, I am giving you over to exile together with all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. And I will give you and all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall deport them and cut them down with swords.
And I will give all the strength of this city and all her labors and all the treasures of the king of Judah into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.
And you and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and in Babylon you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends to whom you prophesied lies.
And I said: I will not name the name of the Lord, nor will I speak any more in his name. But it became like a burning fire, blazing in my bones; and I am worn out on every side and cannot bear it.
For I heard the slander of many gathering around: Set upon him, and let us all set upon him! All the men who were his friends: Watch his intent, whether he may be deceived, and we shall prevail against him and take our vengeance on him.
But the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; therefore they pursued but were not able to understand; they were greatly ashamed, for they did not understand their own dishonors, which shall never be forgotten.
