Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:15.81\00:00:18.14
I'm Kelly Mowrer and
today we are going to be reading
00:00:18.15\00:00:20.75
from the book of Jeremiah.
00:00:20.76\00:00:22.41
But first let's pray together.
00:00:22.42\00:00:24.71
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:24.72\00:00:27.50
for your blessings in our lives,
00:00:27.51\00:00:29.35
too many blessings to even list.
00:00:29.36\00:00:32.58
And one of the
greatest blessings
00:00:32.59\00:00:34.41
is your truth
revealed here in your word.
00:00:34.42\00:00:37.93
And the time that we have
right now to read it together.
00:00:37.94\00:00:40.38
Please with us.
00:00:40.39\00:00:41.36
Please send the Holy
Spirit so that these words
00:00:41.37\00:00:43.21
will be planted
deep in our heart
00:00:43.22\00:00:45.33
to be a fruit to your glory.
00:00:45.34\00:00:46.77
We love you so much
00:00:46.78\00:00:47.75
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:47.76\00:00:50.49
Reading from
the book of Jeremiah
00:00:50.50\00:00:52.73
Chapter 25,
beginning with verse 30
00:00:52.74\00:00:56.89
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:56.90\00:01:00.08
"Therefore prophesy thou
against them all these words,
00:01:00.09\00:01:04.42
and say unto them, the
Lord shall roar from on high,
00:01:04.43\00:01:08.68
and utter his voice
from his holy habitation,
00:01:08.69\00:01:12.26
he shall mightily
roar upon his habitation,
00:01:12.27\00:01:15.04
he shall give a shout,
00:01:15.05\00:01:16.67
as they that tread the grapes,
00:01:16.68\00:01:18.70
against all the
inhabitants of the earth.
00:01:18.71\00:01:21.34
A noise shall come even
to the ends of the earth,
00:01:21.35\00:01:24.60
for the Lord hath a controversy
00:01:24.61\00:01:26.13
with the nations, he
will plead with all flesh,
00:01:26.14\00:01:28.79
he will give them that
are wicked to the sword,
00:01:28.80\00:01:31.63
saith the Lord.
00:01:31.64\00:01:33.60
Thus saith the
Lord of hosts, Behold,
00:01:33.61\00:01:36.11
evil shall go forth
from nation to nation,
00:01:36.12\00:01:38.92
and a great
whirlwind shall be raised up
00:01:38.93\00:01:40.82
from the coasts of the earth.
00:01:40.83\00:01:42.66
And the slain of the
Lord shall be at that day
00:01:42.67\00:01:45.35
from one end of the earth
00:01:45.36\00:01:46.94
even unto the
other end of the earth,
00:01:46.95\00:01:48.89
they shall not be lamented,
neither gathered, nor buried,
00:01:48.90\00:01:52.83
they shall be
dung upon the ground.
00:01:52.84\00:01:55.35
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry,
00:01:55.36\00:01:57.76
and wallow
yourselves in the ashes,
00:01:57.77\00:01:59.95
ye principal of the flock,
for the days of your slaughter
00:01:59.96\00:02:03.89
and of your
dispersions are accomplished,
00:02:03.90\00:02:06.47
and ye shall fall
like a pleasant vessel.
00:02:06.48\00:02:09.48
And the shepherds
shall have no way to flee,
00:02:09.49\00:02:11.98
nor the principal
of the flock to escape.
00:02:11.99\00:02:15.13
A voice of the
cry of the shepherds,
00:02:15.14\00:02:17.08
and an howling of the
principal of the flock,
00:02:17.09\00:02:18.95
shall be heard, for the
Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
00:02:18.96\00:02:23.10
And the peaceable
habitations are cut down
00:02:23.11\00:02:25.72
because of the
fierce anger of the Lord.
00:02:25.73\00:02:28.36
He hath forsaken
his covert, as the lion,
00:02:28.37\00:02:31.54
for their land is desolate
00:02:31.55\00:02:32.72
because of the
fierceness of the oppressor,
00:02:32.73\00:02:35.23
and because of
his fierce anger."
00:02:35.24\00:02:38.61
Continuing in
Jeremiah Chapter 26
00:02:38.62\00:02:41.60
and this is the
King James Version.
00:02:41.61\00:02:44.37
"In the beginning of
the reign of Jehoiakim
00:02:44.38\00:02:46.73
the son of Josiah king of Judah
00:02:46.74\00:02:49.31
came this word
from the Lord, saying,
00:02:49.32\00:02:52.17
Thus saith the Lord,
00:02:52.18\00:02:53.65
Stand in the court
of the Lord's house,
00:02:53.66\00:02:56.38
and speak unto all
the cities of Judah,
00:02:56.39\00:02:59.34
which come to
worship in the Lord's house,
00:02:59.35\00:03:01.50
all the words that I
command thee to speak unto them,
00:03:01.51\00:03:05.47
diminish not a word if
so be they will hearken,
00:03:05.48\00:03:09.48
and turn every
man from his evil way,
00:03:09.49\00:03:12.74
that I may
repent me of the evil,
00:03:12.75\00:03:14.98
which I purpose to do unto them
00:03:14.99\00:03:16.77
because of the
evil of their doings.
00:03:16.78\00:03:19.43
And thou shalt say unto
them, thus saith the Lord,
00:03:19.44\00:03:22.30
If ye will not hearken
to me, to walk in my law,
00:03:22.31\00:03:25.83
which I have set before you,
00:03:25.84\00:03:27.87
to hearken to the words
of my servants the prophets,
00:03:27.88\00:03:31.49
whom I sent unto
you, both rising up early,
00:03:31.50\00:03:34.48
and sending them, but
ye have not hearkened,
00:03:34.49\00:03:37.60
then will I make
this house like Shiloh,
00:03:37.61\00:03:41.14
and will make this city a curse
00:03:41.15\00:03:43.48
to all the nations of the earth.
00:03:43.49\00:03:45.77
So the priests and the prophets
00:03:45.78\00:03:47.15
and all the
people heard Jeremiah
00:03:47.16\00:03:50.06
speaking these words
in the house of the Lord.
00:03:50.07\00:03:54.06
Now it came to pass,
when Jeremiah had made
00:03:54.07\00:03:56.54
an end of speaking all
that the Lord had commanded him
00:03:56.55\00:03:59.57
to speak unto all the people,
00:03:59.58\00:04:02.45
that the
priests and the prophets
00:04:02.46\00:04:04.86
and all the people took him,
saying thou shalt surely die.
00:04:04.87\00:04:09.17
Why hast thou prophesied
in the name of the Lord,
00:04:09.18\00:04:11.48
saying, this house
shall be like Shiloh,
00:04:11.49\00:04:13.72
and this city shall be desolate
00:04:13.73\00:04:15.10
without an inhabitant?
00:04:15.11\00:04:17.12
And all the people were
gathered against Jeremiah
00:04:17.13\00:04:21.19
in the house of the Lord.
00:04:21.20\00:04:23.60
When the princes of
Judah heard these things,
00:04:23.61\00:04:25.92
then they came up
from the king's house
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.58
unto the house of the
Lord, and sat down in the entry
00:04:27.59\00:04:29.95
of the new gate
of the Lord's house.
00:04:29.96\00:04:32.73
Then spake the
priests and the prophets
00:04:32.74\00:04:35.43
unto the princes and
to all the people, saying,
00:04:35.44\00:04:37.90
this man is worthy to die,
00:04:37.91\00:04:40.59
for he hath
prophesied against this city,
00:04:40.60\00:04:43.53
as ye have heard with your ears.
00:04:43.54\00:04:47.08
Then spake Jeremiah
unto all the princes
00:04:47.09\00:04:49.73
and to all the people
saying, the Lord sent me
00:04:49.74\00:04:52.79
to prophesy against this house
00:04:52.80\00:04:54.57
and against this city all
the words that ye have heard.
00:04:54.58\00:04:58.39
Therefore now amend
your ways and your doings,
00:04:58.40\00:05:02.37
and obey the voice
of the Lord your God,
00:05:02.38\00:05:04.49
and the Lord will
repent him of the evil
00:05:04.50\00:05:06.39
that he hath
pronounced against you.
00:05:06.40\00:05:08.49
As for me,
behold, I am in your hand,
00:05:08.50\00:05:13.15
do with me as seemeth
good and meet unto you.
00:05:13.16\00:05:17.68
But know ye for certain,
that if ye put me to death,
00:05:17.69\00:05:22.60
ye shall surely
bring innocent blood
00:05:22.61\00:05:24.90
upon yourselves,
and upon this city,
00:05:24.91\00:05:27.62
and upon the
inhabitants thereof,
00:05:27.63\00:05:29.90
for of a truth the
Lord hath sent me unto you
00:05:29.91\00:05:33.74
to speak all these
words in your ears.
00:05:33.75\00:05:38.13
Then said the
princes and all the people
00:05:38.14\00:05:40.21
unto the priests
and to the prophets
00:05:40.22\00:05:43.06
this man is not worthy to die,
00:05:43.07\00:05:45.32
for he hath spoken to us in
the name of the Lord our God.
00:05:45.33\00:05:49.73
Then rose up certain
of the elders of the land,
00:05:49.74\00:05:52.52
and spake to all the
assembly of the people, saying,
00:05:52.53\00:05:56.21
Micah the Morasthite prophesied
00:05:56.22\00:05:59.19
in the days of
Hezekiah king of Judah,
00:05:59.20\00:06:01.25
and spake to all the
people of Judah, saying,
00:06:01.26\00:06:03.22
thus saith the Lord of hosts,
00:06:03.23\00:06:04.85
Zion shall be
plowed like a field,
00:06:04.86\00:06:06.74
and Jerusalem
shall become heaps,
00:06:06.75\00:06:08.52
and the mountain of the house
00:06:08.53\00:06:09.94
as the high places of a forest.
00:06:09.95\00:06:12.16
Did Hezekiah king of Judah
00:06:12.17\00:06:13.56
and all Judah put
him at all to death?
00:06:13.57\00:06:16.17
Did he not fear the
Lord, and besought the Lord,
00:06:16.18\00:06:18.76
and the Lord
repented him of the evil
00:06:18.77\00:06:20.60
which he had
pronounced against them?
00:06:20.61\00:06:22.80
Thus might we procure
great evil against our souls.
00:06:22.81\00:06:27.08
And there was also
a man that prophesied
00:06:27.09\00:06:28.79
in the name of the Lord,
00:06:28.80\00:06:30.17
Urijah the son of
Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim,
00:06:30.18\00:06:33.87
who prophesied against
this city and against this land
00:06:33.88\00:06:36.35
according to all
the words of Jeremiah
00:06:36.36\00:06:38.86
and when Jehoiakim the
king, with all his mighty men,
00:06:38.87\00:06:41.64
and all the
princes, heard his words,
00:06:41.65\00:06:44.01
the king sought
to put him to death,
00:06:44.02\00:06:46.24
but when Urijah heard
it, he was afraid, and fled,
00:06:46.25\00:06:50.44
and went into Egypt,
00:06:50.45\00:06:52.46
And Jehoiakim the
king sent men into Egypt,
00:06:52.47\00:06:55.73
namely, Elnathan
the son of Achbor,
00:06:55.74\00:06:59.02
and certain men
with him into Egypt.
00:06:59.03\00:07:01.35
And they fetched
forth Urijah out of Egypt,
00:07:01.36\00:07:03.36
and brought him
unto Jehoiakim the king,
00:07:03.37\00:07:05.22
who slew him with the sword,
00:07:05.23\00:07:06.38
and cast his dead bodY
00:07:06.39\00:07:07.65
into the graves
of the common people.
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.02
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam
00:07:10.03\00:07:13.03
the son of
Shaphan was with Jeremiah,
00:07:13.04\00:07:15.65
that they should not give him
00:07:15.66\00:07:17.03
into the hand of the
people to put him to death."
00:07:17.04\00:07:20.97
Continuing with
Jeremiah Chapter 27
00:07:20.98\00:07:23.81
and this is the
King James Version.
00:07:23.82\00:07:27.37
In the beginning of
the reign of Jehoiakim
00:07:27.38\00:07:29.83
the son of Josiah king
of Judah came this word
00:07:29.84\00:07:33.40
unto Jeremiah
from the Lord, saying,
00:07:33.41\00:07:36.24
thus saith the Lord
to me, Make thee bonds
00:07:36.25\00:07:40.13
and yokes, and put
them upon thy neck,
00:07:40.14\00:07:44.12
and send them to
the king of Edom,
00:07:44.13\00:07:45.91
and to the king of Moab,
00:07:45.92\00:07:47.04
and to the king
of the Ammonites,
00:07:47.05\00:07:48.37
and to the king of
Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon,
00:07:48.38\00:07:50.48
by the hand of the messengers
which come to Jerusalem
00:07:50.49\00:07:53.19
unto Zedekiah king of Judah,
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.49
And command them to
say unto their masters,
00:07:55.50\00:07:57.84
thus saith the Lord of
hosts the God of Israel,
00:07:57.85\00:08:00.95
Thus shall ye say
unto your masters,
00:08:00.96\00:08:04.10
I have made the
earth, the man and the beast
00:08:04.11\00:08:07.03
that are upon the
ground, by my great power
00:08:07.04\00:08:10.61
and by my outstretched
arm, and have given it
00:08:10.62\00:08:13.82
unto whom it
seemed meet unto me.
00:08:13.83\00:08:17.35
And now have I given all
these lands into the hand
00:08:17.36\00:08:21.12
of Nebuchadnezzar
the king of Babylon,
00:08:21.13\00:08:23.25
my servant, and
the beasts of the field
00:08:23.26\00:08:26.10
have I given him
also to serve him.
00:08:26.11\00:08:28.62
And all nations shall serve him,
00:08:28.63\00:08:30.86
and his son, and his son's son,
00:08:30.87\00:08:33.91
until the very
time of his land come:
00:08:33.92\00:08:37.71
and then many nations
00:08:37.72\00:08:38.69
and great kings shall
serve themselves of him.
00:08:38.70\00:08:42.78
And it shall come to pass,
that the nation and kingdom
00:08:42.79\00:08:45.66
which will not serve
the same Nebuchadnezzar
00:08:45.67\00:08:47.98
the king of Babylon,
and that will not put
00:08:47.99\00:08:50.46
their neck under the
yoke of the king of Babylon,
00:08:50.47\00:08:53.36
that nation will I
punish, saith the Lord,
00:08:53.37\00:08:56.45
with the sword,
and with the famine,
00:08:56.46\00:08:58.78
and with the pestilence,
00:08:58.79\00:09:00.52
until I have
consumed them by his hand.
00:09:00.53\00:09:04.51
Therefore hearken
not ye to your prophets,
00:09:04.52\00:09:08.56
nor to your
diviners, nor to your dreamers,
00:09:08.57\00:09:11.84
nor to your enchanters,
nor to your sorcerers,
00:09:11.85\00:09:15.02
which speak unto you,
saying, ye shall not serve
00:09:15.03\00:09:17.55
the king of Babylon for
they prophesy a lie unto you,
00:09:17.56\00:09:23.01
to remove you
far from your land,
00:09:23.02\00:09:26.02
and that I should drive you out,
00:09:26.03\00:09:27.63
and ye should perish.
00:09:27.64\00:09:29.88
But the nations
that bring their neck
00:09:29.89\00:09:32.34
under the yoke of
the king of Babylon,
00:09:32.35\00:09:34.73
and serve him,
those will I let remain
00:09:34.74\00:09:38.47
still in their own
land, saith the Lord,
00:09:38.48\00:09:41.73
and they shall till
it, and dwell therein.
00:09:41.74\00:09:45.71
I spake also to
Zedekiah king of Judah
00:09:45.72\00:09:48.48
according to all
these words, saying,
00:09:48.49\00:09:51.14
bring your necks under the
yoke of the king of Babylon,
00:09:51.15\00:09:54.34
and serve him and
his people, and live.
00:09:54.35\00:09:58.21
Why will ye die,
thou and thy people,
00:09:58.22\00:10:00.84
by the sword, by the famine,
00:10:00.85\00:10:02.30
and by the pestilence, as
the Lord hath spoken aganist
00:10:02.31\00:10:04.99
the nation that will not
serve the king of Babylon?
00:10:05.00\00:10:08.76
Therefore hearken
not unto the words
00:10:08.77\00:10:10.33
of the prophets that
speak unto you, saying,
00:10:10.34\00:10:12.09
ye shall not serve
the king of Babylon:
00:10:12.10\00:10:14.84
for they
prophesy a lie unto you.
00:10:14.85\00:10:17.69
For I have not sent
them, saith the Lord,
00:10:17.70\00:10:19.47
yet they
prophesy a lie in my name,
00:10:19.48\00:10:22.88
that I might drive you out,
and that ye might perish, ye,
00:10:22.89\00:10:25.25
and the prophets
that prophesy unto you.
00:10:25.26\00:10:28.33
Also I spake to the priests
00:10:28.34\00:10:29.81
and to all this people,
saying, thus saith the Lord,
00:10:29.82\00:10:32.93
Hearken not to the
words of your prophets
00:10:32.94\00:10:35.10
that prophesy unto you, saying,
00:10:35.11\00:10:36.78
behold, the
vessels of the Lord's house
00:10:36.79\00:10:38.73
shall now shortly be
brought again from Babylon,
00:10:38.74\00:10:41.66
for they
prophesy a lie unto you.
00:10:41.67\00:10:44.36
Hearken not unto them,
serve the king of Babylon,
00:10:44.37\00:10:47.51
and live, wherefore
should this city be laid waste?
00:10:47.52\00:10:52.33
But if they be prophets,
00:10:52.34\00:10:54.18
and if the word of
the Lord be with them,
00:10:54.19\00:10:56.51
let them now make intercession
00:10:56.52\00:10:58.37
to the Lord of
hosts, that the vessels
00:10:58.38\00:11:00.66
which are left in
the house of the Lord,
00:11:00.67\00:11:02.27
and in the house
of the king of Judah,
00:11:02.28\00:11:04.17
and at Jerusalem,
go not to Babylon.
00:11:04.18\00:11:07.62
For thus saith the Lord of
hosts concerning the pillars
00:11:07.63\00:11:09.88
and concerning the sea,
and concerning the bases,
00:11:09.89\00:11:12.04
and concerning the
residue of the vessels
00:11:12.05\00:11:14.65
that remain in this
city, which Nebuchadnezzar
00:11:14.66\00:11:17.26
king of Babylon took not,
00:11:17.27\00:11:18.68
when he carried
away captive Jeconiah
00:11:18.69\00:11:21.07
the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah
00:11:21.08\00:11:23.10
from Jerusalem to
Babylon, and all the nobles
00:11:23.11\00:11:25.51
of Judah and Jerusalem,
00:11:25.52\00:11:27.71
Yea, thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel,
00:11:27.72\00:11:30.52
concerning the
vessels that remain
00:11:30.53\00:11:32.07
in the house of the Lord,
00:11:32.08\00:11:33.65
and in the house of the
king of Judah and of Jerusalem,
00:11:33.66\00:11:37.56
They shall be
carried to Babylon,
00:11:37.57\00:11:39.48
and there shall they be
until the day that I visit them,
00:11:39.49\00:11:43.08
saith the Lord, then
will I bring them up,
00:11:43.09\00:11:46.69
and restore them to this place."
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.45
Continuing in the
book of Jeremiah Chapter 28
00:11:50.46\00:11:53.52
and this is the
King James Version.
00:11:53.53\00:11:56.97
"And it came to
pass the same year,
00:11:56.98\00:11:59.17
in the beginning of the
reign of Zedekiah king of Judah,
00:11:59.18\00:12:02.26
in the fourth year,
and in the fifth month,
00:12:02.27\00:12:04.89
that Hananiah the
son of Azur the prophet,
00:12:04.90\00:12:07.17
which was of
Gibeon, spake unto me
00:12:07.18\00:12:10.20
in the house of the
Lord, in the presence
00:12:10.21\00:12:12.38
of the priests and of
all the people, saying,
00:12:12.39\00:12:14.82
thus speaketh the Lord of hosts,
00:12:14.83\00:12:16.72
the God of Israel, saying,
00:12:16.73\00:12:18.33
I have broken the yoke
of the king of Babylon.
00:12:18.34\00:12:21.75
Within two full
years will I bring again
00:12:21.76\00:12:25.03
into this place all the vessels
00:12:25.04\00:12:26.89
of the Lord's
house, that Nebuchadnezzar
00:12:26.90\00:12:29.35
king of Babylon took
away from this place,
00:12:29.36\00:12:31.48
and carried them to Babylon.
00:12:31.49\00:12:33.70
And I will bring
again to this place Jeconiah
00:12:33.71\00:12:36.06
the son of
Jehoiakim king of Judah,
00:12:36.07\00:12:38.20
with all the captives of Judah,
00:12:38.21\00:12:39.40
that went into
Babylon, saith the Lord,
00:12:39.41\00:12:41.73
for I will break the
yoke of the king of Babylon.
00:12:41.74\00:12:46.85
Then the prophet Jeremiah said
00:12:46.86\00:12:49.11
unto the prophet Hananiah
in the presence of the priests,
00:12:49.12\00:12:52.92
and in the
presence of all the people
00:12:52.93\00:12:54.27
that stood in the
house of the Lord,
00:12:54.28\00:12:56.50
even the prophet
Jeremiah said, Amen,
00:12:56.51\00:13:00.32
the Lord do so, the
Lord perform thy words
00:13:00.33\00:13:03.83
which thou hast prophesied,
to bring again the vessels
00:13:03.84\00:13:06.53
of the Lord's house,
00:13:06.54\00:13:07.51
and all that is
carried away captive,
00:13:07.52\00:13:09.61
from Babylon into this place.
00:13:09.62\00:13:12.40
Nevertheless hear
thou now this word
00:13:12.41\00:13:15.46
that I speak in thine ears,
00:13:15.47\00:13:16.76
and in the ears
of all the people,
00:13:16.77\00:13:19.23
The prophets that
have been before me
00:13:19.24\00:13:21.36
and before thee of
old prophesied both
00:13:21.37\00:13:25.26
against many countries,
and against great kingdoms,
00:13:25.27\00:13:28.84
of war, and of
evil, and of pestilence.
00:13:28.85\00:13:32.88
The prophet which
prophesieth of peace,
00:13:32.89\00:13:35.60
when the word of the
prophet shall come to pass,
00:13:35.61\00:13:37.71
then shall the prophet be known,
00:13:37.72\00:13:40.81
that the Lord
hath truly sent him.
00:13:40.82\00:13:43.64
Then Hananiah the
prophet took the yoke
00:13:43.65\00:13:45.57
from off the prophet
Jeremiah's neck and brake it.
00:13:45.58\00:13:49.18
And Hananiah
spake in the presence
00:13:49.19\00:13:50.71
of all the people,
saying, thus saith the Lord,
00:13:50.72\00:13:53.64
Even so will I break the yoke
00:13:53.65\00:13:55.54
of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
00:13:55.55\00:13:57.84
from the neck of all nations
00:13:57.85\00:13:59.57
within the space
of two full years.
00:13:59.58\00:14:02.57
And the prophet
Jeremiah went his way.
00:14:02.58\00:14:06.72
Then the word of the Lord came
00:14:06.73\00:14:08.15
unto Jeremiah the
prophet, after that Hananiah
00:14:08.16\00:14:11.22
the prophet had broken
the yoke from off the neck
00:14:11.23\00:14:13.59
of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying, go and tell
00:14:13.60\00:14:17.48
Hananiah saying,
thus saith the Lord,
00:14:17.49\00:14:20.43
Thou hast broken
the yokes of wood,
00:14:20.44\00:14:23.08
but thou shalt make
for them yokes of iron.
00:14:23.09\00:14:26.16
For thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel,
00:14:26.17\00:14:29.31
I have put a yoke of iron
00:14:29.32\00:14:30.91
upon the neck of
all these nations,
00:14:30.92\00:14:33.29
that they may serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
00:14:33.30\00:14:36.90
and they shall serve him,
00:14:36.91\00:14:38.61
and I have given him the
beasts of the field also".
00:14:38.62\00:14:42.06
