|Jeremias 32:1| The following message came to Jeremiah from the lord in the tenth year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah. This was also the eighteenth year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar.

-
|Jeremias 32:2| Jerusalem was then under siege from the Babylonian army, and Jeremiah was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard in the royal palace.
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:3| King Zedekiah had put him there, asking why he kept giving this prophecy: “This is what the lord says: ‘I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will take it.
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:4| King Zedekiah will be captured by the Babylonians and taken to meet the king of Babylon face to face.
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:5| He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and I will deal with him there,’ says the lord. ‘If you fight against the Babylonians, you will never succeed.’”

-
|Jeremias 32:6| At that time the lord sent me a message. He said,
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:7| “Your cousin Hanamel son of Shallum will come and say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else.’”
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:8| Then, just as the lord had said he would, my cousin Hanamel came and visited me in the prison. He said, “Please buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else, so buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that the message I had heard was from the lord.
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:9| So I bought the field at Anathoth, paying Hanamel seventeen pieces of silver for it.
-
-
-
|Jeremias 32:10| I signed and sealed the deed of purchase before witnesses, weighed out the silver, and paid him.
