Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 27

This is a parallel-text biblical study document presenting the Book of Jeremiah in three simultaneous versions: the King James Version with interlinear Strong's Concordance numbers, the Greek Septuagint (LXX), and the Hebrew Tanakh. The KJV/Hebrew columns cover Jeremiah 27, in which God commands Jeremiah to forge a wooden yoke and send it to neighboring kings as a sign that they must submit to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon — God's appointed servant — or face sword, famine, and plague. The Greek column, following the Septuagint's different chapter ordering, presents what English Bibles place in Jeremiah 50–51: a lengthy oracle announcing Babylon's coming destruction, the restoration of Israel and Judah, and divine vengeance against the Chaldeans. The juxtaposition is notably ironic: chapter 27 commands submission to Babylon as God's will, while the Septuagint section on the same page announces Babylon's total annihilation as equally God's will — illustrating the book's temporal arc from judgment-through-Babylon to judgment-on-Babylon. The format, with Strong's numbers embedded in the KJV text, is characteristic of interlinear or concordance-based study Bibles aimed at readers doing original-language word study without full Hebrew or Greek fluency.
