Jeremiah 35:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ We have always lived in tents. So we have completely obeyed our ancestor Jonadab. We have done everything that he commanded us to do. ¹¹ But when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked our land, we decided to come to Jerusalem. We said, “We must leave here and go to Jerusalem. We must escape from the armies of Babylon and Syria.” That is why we are now living in Jerusalem.’

¹² Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah.
