Jeremiah יִרְמְיָהוּ
52 chapters · 1364 verses
Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu), the priest of Anathoth called before he was formed in the belly, prophesied through the last forty years of the kingdom of Judah — under Josiah, through Jehoiakim's scroll-burning defiance, to Zedekiah, the siege, and the ruin he had wept over in advance. The book interleaves oracle and biography as no other: the Temple sermon and its trial, the potter's house, the broken bottle, the stocks, the pit of mire, the field bought in Anathoth with the Chaldeans at the wall — and at its center the promise of a new covenant written upon the heart. After the catastrophe come the prophecies against the nations, ending in Babylon's own sentence, and a closing chapter that measures the exile and leaves Jehoiachin raised above the kings in Babylon. Tradition assigns the book to Jeremiah himself, written by the hand of Baruch son of Neriah. This volume presents the complete Hebrew text with English translation, a word-by-word interlinear layer with transliteration, roots, and gematria, and the classic commentaries of Rashi, Radak, Metzudat David, Metzudat Zion, Malbim, and Abarbanel, newly translated into English.
