Jeremiah 32:16-25
World English Bible
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh, saying,
17 “Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you. 18 You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is your name: 19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings; 20 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today; 21 and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror; 22 and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
24 “Behold, siege ramps have come to the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it. 25 You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

Jeremiah Prays for Understanding
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.’”
