Jeremiah 22-24
English Standard Version
22 Thus says the Lord: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, 2 and say, (A)‘Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. 3 Thus says the Lord: (B)Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And (C)do no wrong or violence (D)to the resident alien, (E)the fatherless, and the widow, nor (F)shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if you will indeed obey this word, (G)then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people. 5 But if you will not obey these words, I (H)swear by myself, declares the Lord, that (I)this house shall become a desolation. 6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah:
“‘You are like Gilead to me,
like the summit of (J)Lebanon,
yet surely I will make you a desert,
(K)an uninhabited city.[a]
7 (L)I will prepare destroyers against you,
each with his weapons,
(M)and they shall cut down your choicest cedars
and cast them into the fire.
8 “‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, (N)“Why has the Lord dealt thus with this great city?” 9 (O)And they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”
10 (P)Weep not for him who is dead,
nor grieve for him,
(Q)but weep bitterly for him who goes away,
for he shall return no more
to see his native land.
Message to the Sons of Josiah
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and (R)who went away from this place: “He shall return here no more, 12 but (S)in the place where they have carried him captive, there shall he die, and he shall never see this land again.”
13 (T)“Woe to him who builds his house by (U)unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
(V)who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and (W)painting it with vermilion.
15 Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and (X)do justice and righteousness?
(Y)Then it was well with him.
16 (Z)He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
(AA)then it was well.
Is not this (AB)to know me?
declares the Lord.
17 But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
(AC)for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
(AD)“They shall not lament for him, saying,
(AE)‘Ah, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
(AF)‘Ah, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
19 With the burial of a donkey (AG)he shall be buried,
dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from (AH)Abarim,
for all (AI)your lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
(AJ)This has been your way from (AK)your youth,
that you have not obeyed my voice.
22 (AL)The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
and (AM)your lovers shall go into captivity;
(AN)then you will be ashamed and confounded
because of all your evil.
23 O inhabitant of (AO)Lebanon,
nested among the cedars,
how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you,
(AP)pain as of a woman in labor!”
24 (AQ)“As I live, declares the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were (AR)the signet ring on my right hand, yet I would tear you off 25 and (AS)give you (AT)into the hand of those who seek your life, into the hand of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 (AU)I will hurl you and (AV)the mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born, and there you shall die. 27 But to the land to which they will long to return, there they shall not return.”
28 Is this man (AW)Coniah a despised, broken pot,
a (AX)vessel no one cares for?
Why are he and his children hurled and cast
into a (AY)land that they do not know?
29 (AZ)O land, land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 Thus says the Lord:
“Write this man down as (BA)childless,
a man who shall not succeed in his days,
(BB)for none of his offspring shall succeed
(BC)in sitting on the throne of David
and ruling again in Judah.”
The Righteous Branch
23 (BD)“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. 2 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning (BE)the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. (BF)Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. 3 (BG)Then I will gather the remnant of my flock (BH)out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, (BI)and they shall be fruitful and multiply. 4 (BJ)I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.
5 (BK)“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous (BL)Branch, and (BM)he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved, and (BN)Israel will (BO)dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: (BP)‘The Lord is our righteousness.’
7 (BQ)“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when they shall no longer say, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt,’ 8 but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up and led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he[b] had driven them.’ Then they shall dwell in their own land.”
Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
(BR)My heart is broken within me;
(BS)all my bones shake;
I am like a drunken man,
like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and because of his holy words.
10 (BT)For the land is full of adulterers;
(BU)because of the curse (BV)the land mourns,
and (BW)the pastures of the wilderness are dried up.
(BX)Their course is evil,
and their might is not right.
11 (BY)“Both prophet and priest are ungodly;
even (BZ)in my house I have found their evil,
declares the Lord.
12 (CA)Therefore their way shall be to them
like slippery paths (CB)in the darkness,
into which they shall be driven and fall,
for I will bring disaster upon them
(CC)in the year of their punishment,
declares the Lord.
13 In the prophets of (CD)Samaria
(CE)I saw an unsavory thing:
(CF)they prophesied by Baal
(CG)and led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
(CH)they commit adultery and walk in lies;
(CI)they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
(CJ)all of them have become like Sodom to me,
(CK)and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
15 Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets:
(CL)“Behold, I will feed them with bitter food
(CM)and give them (CN)poisoned water to drink,
for from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, (CO)filling you with vain hopes. (CP)They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say continually to those who despise the word of the Lord, (CQ)‘It shall be well with you’; and to everyone who (CR)stubbornly follows his own heart, they say, (CS)‘No disaster shall come upon you.’”
18 For (CT)who among them has stood in the council of the Lord
to see and to hear his word,
or who has paid attention to his word and listened?
19 (CU)Behold, the storm of the Lord!
Wrath has gone forth,
(CV)a whirling tempest;
it will burst upon the head of the wicked.
20 (CW)The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he has executed and (CX)accomplished
the intents of his heart.
(CY)In the latter days you will understand it clearly.
21 (CZ)“I did not send the prophets,
yet they ran;
I did not speak to them,
yet they prophesied.
22 (DA)But if they had stood in my council,
then they would have proclaimed my words to my people,
(DB)and they would have turned them from their evil way,
and (DC)from the evil of their deeds.
23 (DD)“Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? 24 (DE)Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. (DF)Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord. 25 I have heard what the prophets have said (DG)who prophesy lies in my name, saying, (DH)‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long shall there be lies in the heart of (DI)the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart, 27 who think to make my people forget my name (DJ)by their dreams that they tell one another, even as their (DK)fathers forgot my name for Baal? 28 (DL)Let the prophet who has a dream (DM)tell the dream, but let him who has my word speak my word faithfully. (DN)What has straw in common with wheat? declares the Lord. 29 (DO)Is not my word like fire, declares the Lord, and (DP)like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? 30 (DQ)Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who steal my words from one another. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the Lord, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the Lord.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the Lord, and who tell them and (DR)lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when (DS)I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the Lord.
33 (DT)“When one of this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the Lord?’ you shall say to them, ‘You are the burden,[c] and (DU)I will cast you off, declares the Lord.’ 34 And as for the prophet, priest, or one of the people who says, ‘The burden of the Lord,’ (DV)I will punish that man and his household. 35 Thus shall you say, every one to his neighbor and every one to his brother, ‘What has the Lord answered?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But ‘the burden of the Lord’ you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man's own word, and (DW)you pervert the words of (DX)the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God. 37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, ‘What has the Lord answered you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 But if you say, ‘The burden of the Lord,’ thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have said these words, “The burden of the Lord,” when I sent to you, saying, “You shall not say, ‘The burden of the Lord,’” 39 therefore, behold, I will surely lift you up[d] and (DY)cast you away from my presence, you and the city that I gave to you and your fathers. 40 (DZ)And I will bring upon you everlasting reproach and (EA)perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.’”
The Good Figs and the Bad Figs
24 (EB)After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem (EC)Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with (ED)the officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me this vision: behold, (EE)two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, (EF)like first-ripe figs, but the other basket had (EG)very bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten. 3 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs, the good figs very good, and the bad figs very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, (EH)whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. 6 (EI)I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. (EJ)I will build them up, and not tear them down; (EK)I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7 (EL)I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, (EM)and they shall be my people (EN)and I will be their God, (EO)for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 “But thus says the Lord: Like (EP)the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat (EQ)Zedekiah the king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who (ER)dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will make them (ES)a horror[e] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be (ET)a reproach, (EU)a byword, (EV)a taunt, and (EW)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send (EX)sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they shall be utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.”

Judgment Against Wicked Kings
22 This is what the Lord says: “Go down to the palace of the king(A) of Judah and proclaim this message there: 2 ‘Hear(B) the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David’s throne(C)—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates.(D) 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just(E) and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor(F) the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow,(G) and do not shed innocent blood(H) in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings(I) who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey(J) these commands, declares the Lord, I swear(K) by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”
6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:
“Though you are like Gilead(L) to me,
like the summit of Lebanon,(M)
I will surely make you like a wasteland,(N)
like towns not inhabited.
7 I will send destroyers(O) against you,
each man with his weapons,
and they will cut(P) up your fine cedar beams
and throw them into the fire.(Q)
8 “People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’(R) 9 And the answer will be: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and have worshiped and served other gods.(S)’”
10 Do not weep for the dead(T) king or mourn(U) his loss;
rather, weep bitterly for him who is exiled,
because he will never return(V)
nor see his native land again.
11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum[a](W) son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: “He will never return. 12 He will die(X) in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”
13 “Woe(Y) to him who builds(Z) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(AA) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(AB)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(AC)
and decorates it in red.(AD)
15 “Does it make you a king
to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just,(AE)
so all went well(AF) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(AG)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(AH) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(AI)
on shedding innocent blood(AJ)
and on oppression and extortion.”(AK)
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
“They will not mourn(AL) for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 He will have the burial(AM) of a donkey—
dragged away and thrown(AN)
outside the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,(AO)
let your voice be heard in Bashan,(AP)
cry out from Abarim,(AQ)
for all your allies(AR) are crushed.
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(AS)
but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(AT)
you have not obeyed(AU) me.
22 The wind(AV) will drive all your shepherds(AW) away,
and your allies(AX) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(AY)
because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[b](AZ)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(BA) like that of a woman in labor!
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[c](BB) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(BC) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver(BD) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[d] 26 I will hurl(BE) you and the mother(BF) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return(BG) to.”
28 Is this man Jehoiachin(BH) a despised, broken pot,(BI)
an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(BJ) out,
cast into a land(BK) they do not know?
29 O land,(BL) land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(BM)
a man who will not prosper(BN) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(BO) will prosper,
none will sit on the throne(BP) of David
or rule anymore in Judah.”
The Righteous Branch
23 “Woe to the shepherds(BQ) who are destroying and scattering(BR) the sheep of my pasture!”(BS) declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds(BT) who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock(BU) and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil(BV) you have done,” declares the Lord. 3 “I myself will gather the remnant(BW) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(BX) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 I will place shepherds(BY) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(BZ) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(CA)” declares the Lord.
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David[e] a righteous Branch,(CB)
a King(CC) who will reign(CD) wisely
and do what is just and right(CE) in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.(CF)
This is the name(CG) by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(CH)
7 “So then, the days are coming,”(CI) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(CJ) 8 but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(CK)
Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(CL) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(CM)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(CN)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(CO)
because of the curse[f](CP) the land lies parched
and the pastures(CQ) in the wilderness are withered.(CR)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(CS)
even in my temple(CT) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(CU)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(CV)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(CW)
and led my people Israel astray.(CX)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(CY)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(CZ)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(DA)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(DB)
They are all like Sodom(DC) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(DD)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(DE)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(DF) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(DG) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(DH) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(DI) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(DJ) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(DK)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(DL) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(DM) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(DN) of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm(DO) of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind(DP) swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger(DQ) of the Lord will not turn back(DR)
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(DS) these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(DT)
they would have proclaimed(DU) my words to my people
and would have turned(DV) them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.(DW)
23 “Am I only a God nearby,(DX)”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide(DY) in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”(DZ)
declares the Lord.
25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies(EA) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!(EB) I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions(EC) of their own minds?(ED) 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(EE) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(EF) my name through Baal worship.(EG) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(EH) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(EI) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(EJ) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(EK) that breaks a rock in pieces?
30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against(EL) the prophets(EM) who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’(EN) 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(EO)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(EP) with their reckless lies,(EQ) yet I did not send(ER) or appoint them. They do not benefit(ES) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(ET) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(EU) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(EV) from the Lord,’ I will punish(EW) them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’(EX) or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort(EY) the words of the living God,(EZ) the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(FA) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(FB)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
Two Baskets of Figs
24 After Jehoiachin[g](FC) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the officials, the skilled workers and the artisans of Judah were carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Lord showed me two baskets of figs(FD) placed in front of the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early;(FE) the other basket had very bad(FF) figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
3 Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(FG) Jeremiah?”
“Figs,” I answered. “The good ones are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent(FH) away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.[h] 6 My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back(FI) to this land. I will build(FJ) them up and not tear them down; I will plant(FK) them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know(FL) me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people,(FM) and I will be their God, for they will return(FN) to me with all their heart.(FO)
8 “‘But like the bad(FP) figs, which are so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the Lord, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah(FQ) king of Judah, his officials(FR) and the survivors(FS) from Jerusalem, whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt.(FT) 9 I will make them abhorrent(FU) and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach and a byword,(FV) a curse[i](FW) and an object of ridicule, wherever I banish(FX) them. 10 I will send the sword,(FY) famine(FZ) and plague(GA) against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.(GB)’”
