Jeremiah 32:16-25
New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah Prays and God Explains
16 “After giving the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I (A)prayed to the Lord, saying, 17 ‘(B)Oh, Lord [a]God! Behold, You Yourself have (C)made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! (D)Nothing is too difficult for You, 18 who (E)shows mercy to thousands, but (F)repays the wrongdoing of fathers into the laps of their children after them, (G)great and (H)mighty God. The (I)Lord of armies is His name; 19 (J)great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose (K)eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of mankind, (L)giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds; 20 who has (M)accomplished signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day both in Israel and among mankind; and You have (N)made a name for Yourself, as at this day. 21 You (O)brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders, and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 and You gave them this land, which You (P)swore to their forefathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 They (Q)came in and took possession of it, but they (R)did not obey Your voice or (S)walk in Your Law; they did not do [b]anything that You commanded them to do; therefore You have made (T)all this disaster happen to them. 24 Behold, the (U)assault ramps have reached the city to take it; and the city has been (V)handed over to the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the (W)sword, the famine, and the plague; and what You have spoken has (X)come to pass; and behold, You see it. 25 Yet You have said to me, Lord [c]God, “Buy for yourself the field with money and call in witnesses”—although the city has been handed over to the Chaldeans.’”

Jeremiah 32:16-25
American Standard Version
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto Jehovah, saying, 17 Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm; there is nothing too [a]hard for thee, 18 who showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his name; 19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings; 20 who didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, [b]both in Israel and among other men; and madest thee a name, as at this day; 21 and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 23 and they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them. 24 Behold, the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it. 25 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
