Jeremiah 32:16-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Jeremiah Prays for Understanding
16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 “Ah Lord God! It is you who made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.(A) 18 You show steadfast love to the thousandth generation[a] but repay the guilt of parents into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the Lord of hosts,(B) 19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of mortals, rewarding all according to their ways and according to the fruit of their doings.(C) 20 You showed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt and to this day in Israel and among all humankind and have made yourself a name that continues to this very day.(D) 21 You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and outstretched arm, and with great terror,(E) 22 and you gave them this land, which you swore to their ancestors to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey,(F) 23 and they entered and took possession of it. But they did not obey your voice or follow your laws; of all you commanded them to do, they did nothing. Therefore you have made all these disasters come upon them.(G) 24 See, the siege ramps have been cast up against the city to take it, and the city, faced with sword, famine, and pestilence, has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has happened, as you yourself can see.(H) 25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, ‘Buy the field for silver and get witnesses,’ though the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.”

16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to (A)Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: 17 ‘Ah, Lord God! It is (B)you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by (C)your outstretched arm! (D)Nothing is too hard for you. 18 (E)You show steadfast love to thousands, (F)but you repay the guilt of fathers (G)to their children after them, O great and (H)mighty God, whose name is the (I)Lord of hosts, 19 (J)great in counsel and (K)mighty in deed, (L)whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, (M)rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. 20 You have shown (N)signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all mankind, (O)and have made a name for yourself, as at this day. 21 (P)You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and (Q)outstretched arm, (R)and with great terror. 22 And you gave them this land, (S)which you swore to their fathers to give them, (T)a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 And they entered and took possession of it. (U)But they did not obey your voice or walk in your law. They did nothing of all you commanded them to do. Therefore you have made all this disaster come upon them. 24 Behold, (V)the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and (W)because of sword and famine and pestilence (X)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. 25 Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, (Y)“Buy the field for money (Z)and get witnesses”—though (AA)the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’”

New International Version
16 “After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch(A) son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
17 “Ah, Sovereign Lord,(B) you have made the heavens and the earth(C) by your great power and outstretched arm.(D) Nothing is too hard(E) for you. 18 You show love(F) to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps(G) of their children(H) after them. Great and mighty God,(I) whose name is the Lord Almighty,(J) 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds.(K) Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind;(L) you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.(M) 20 You performed signs and wonders(N) in Egypt(O) and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown(P) that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand(Q) and an outstretched arm(R) and with great terror.(S) 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.(T) 23 They came in and took possession(U) of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law;(V) they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster(W) on them.
24 “See how the siege ramps(X) are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague,(Y) the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said(Z) has happened,(AA) as you now see. 25 And though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians, you, Sovereign Lord, say to me, ‘Buy the field(AB) with silver and have the transaction witnessed.(AC)’”
