This is a parallel-text biblical resource presenting two ancient versions of the Book of Jeremiah side by side: the King James Version (with interleaved Strong's concordance numbers for each Hebrew word) and the Greek Septuagint. The KJV column contains Jeremiah 50, a prophetic oracle announcing Babylon's coming destruction — God summons nations from the north to devastate the empire, its gods Bel and Merodach are mocked as broken idols, and Israel is promised restoration and forgiveness once Babylon falls. The Septuagint column presents materially different content covering what corresponds to Jeremiah 43 in English Bibles — the account of the disobedient remnant fleeing to Egypt against God's command, taking Jeremiah and Baruch with them to Tahpanhes, where a symbolic stone-hiding prophecy foretells Nebuchadnezzar's conquest of Egypt. The juxtaposition highlights a distinctive feature of Jeremiah scholarship: the Septuagint and Masoretic (Hebrew) traditions of this book differ substantially in chapter order and length, making this a useful resource for textual comparison. It would interest scholars, translators, or students studying the transmission history of the Hebrew Bible and the divergence between the two major manuscript traditions of Jeremiah.
