Hello, and welcome
to "His Words Are Life."
00:00:14.95\00:00:17.29
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today
00:00:17.30\00:00:18.54
we'll continue to read together
00:00:18.55\00:00:20.11
in the Book of Jeremiah.
00:00:20.12\00:00:21.44
But first, let's
pray before we start.
00:00:21.45\00:00:24.21
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank you for this opportunity
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.72
to sit and listen to these words
00:00:26.73\00:00:29.95
from so many
thousands of years ago,
00:00:29.96\00:00:32.56
words of Your
redemption of Your people
00:00:32.57\00:00:35.66
and thank you for redeeming us.
00:00:35.67\00:00:37.68
Please be with
us now as we read.
00:00:37.69\00:00:39.73
We love You so much.
00:00:39.74\00:00:41.15
Thank you for loving us, amen.
00:00:41.16\00:00:43.76
We are reading of
the redemption of Israel
00:00:43.77\00:00:45.96
according to the
prophet Jeremiah,
00:00:45.97\00:00:48.04
picking up in Jeremiah
Chapter 31 with verse 12
00:00:48.05\00:00:51.89
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:51.90\00:00:54.55
Therefore they shall come
and sing in the height of Zion,
00:00:54.56\00:00:58.66
and shall flow together
to the goodness of the Lord,
00:00:58.67\00:01:01.67
for wheat, and for wine,
and for oil, and for the young
00:01:01.68\00:01:04.51
of the flock and of the
herd, and their soul shall be
00:01:04.52\00:01:06.99
as a watered
garden, and they shall
00:01:07.00\00:01:09.92
not sorrow any more at all.
00:01:09.93\00:01:13.33
Then shall the
virgin rejoice in the dance,
00:01:13.34\00:01:16.11
both young men and old
together, for I will turn
00:01:16.12\00:01:20.09
their mourning into
joy, and will comfort them,
00:01:20.10\00:01:24.15
and make them
rejoice from their sorrow.
00:01:24.16\00:01:27.22
And I will satiate the soul
of the priests with fatness,
00:01:27.23\00:01:30.97
and my people shall be
satisfied with my goodness,
00:01:30.98\00:01:34.41
saith the Lord.
00:01:34.42\00:01:37.01
Thus saith the Lord, A
voice was heard in Ramah,
00:01:37.02\00:01:41.06
lamentation, and
bitter weeping, Rahel weeping
00:01:41.07\00:01:44.76
for her children refused to
be comforted for her children,
00:01:44.77\00:01:49.64
because they were not.
00:01:49.65\00:01:52.18
Thus saith the Lord,
Refrain thy voice from weeping,
00:01:52.19\00:01:55.94
and thine eyes from
tears, for thy work shall be
00:01:55.95\00:01:59.57
rewarded, saith the
Lord, and they shall come
00:01:59.58\00:02:03.13
again from the
land of the enemy.
00:02:03.14\00:02:06.08
And there is hope in
thine end, saith the Lord,
00:02:06.09\00:02:09.66
that thy children shall
come again to their own border.
00:02:09.67\00:02:14.79
I have surely heard
Ephraim bemoaning himself thus,
00:02:14.80\00:02:18.72
Thou hast chastised
me, and I was chastised,
00:02:18.73\00:02:21.44
as a bullock unaccustomed
to the yoke, turn thou me,
00:02:21.45\00:02:25.81
and I shall be turned,
for thou art the Lord my God.
00:02:25.82\00:02:30.76
Surely after that I
was turned, I repented,
00:02:30.77\00:02:33.65
and after that I was instructed,
00:02:33.66\00:02:35.37
I smote upon my
thigh, I was ashamed, yea,
00:02:35.38\00:02:38.20
even confounded,
because I did bear
00:02:38.21\00:02:40.89
the reproach of my youth.
00:02:40.90\00:02:43.51
Is Ephraim my dear son?
00:02:43.52\00:02:45.22
Is he a pleasant child?
00:02:45.23\00:02:47.21
For since I spake against him,
00:02:47.22\00:02:48.70
I do earnestly
remember him still,
00:02:48.71\00:02:51.24
therefore my bowels
are troubled for him,
00:02:51.25\00:02:54.04
I will surely have mercy
upon him, saith the Lord.
00:02:54.05\00:02:58.54
Set thee up
waymarks, make thee high heaps,
00:02:58.55\00:03:03.55
set thine heart
toward the highway,
00:03:03.56\00:03:05.22
even the way which
thou wentest, turn again,
00:03:05.23\00:03:07.33
O virgin of Israel, turn
again to these thy cities.
00:03:07.34\00:03:11.98
How long wilt thou go about,
O thou backsliding daughter?
00:03:11.99\00:03:15.70
For the Lord hath created
a new thing in the earth,
00:03:15.71\00:03:18.02
A woman shall compass a man.
00:03:18.03\00:03:20.45
Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel,
00:03:20.46\00:03:23.28
As yet they shall use this
speech in the land of Judah
00:03:23.29\00:03:26.61
and in the cities
thereof, when I shall bring
00:03:26.62\00:03:29.10
again their
captivity, The Lord bless thee,
00:03:29.11\00:03:32.59
O habitation of justice,
and mountain of holiness.
00:03:32.60\00:03:36.31
And there shall
dwell in Judah itself,
00:03:36.32\00:03:39.48
and in all the cities
thereof together, husbandmen,
00:03:39.49\00:03:43.06
and they that go
forth with flocks.
00:03:43.07\00:03:44.73
For I have
satiated the weary soul,
00:03:44.74\00:03:46.97
and I have replenished
every sorrowful soul.
00:03:46.98\00:03:50.71
Upon this I awaked,
and beheld, and my sleep
00:03:50.72\00:03:53.86
was sweet unto me.
00:03:53.87\00:03:56.30
Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord,
00:03:56.31\00:03:58.54
that I will sow the house of
Israel and the house of Judah
00:03:58.55\00:04:02.64
with the seed of man,
and with the seed of beast.
00:04:02.65\00:04:05.95
And it shall come
to pass, that like
00:04:05.96\00:04:08.55
as I have watched
over them, to pluck up,
00:04:08.56\00:04:10.91
and to break down, and to
throw down, and to destroy,
00:04:10.92\00:04:13.35
and to afflict, so will I
watch over them, to build,
00:04:13.36\00:04:17.25
and to plant, saith the Lord.
00:04:17.26\00:04:20.65
In those days,
they shall say no more,
00:04:20.66\00:04:23.59
The fathers have
eaten a sour grape,
00:04:23.60\00:04:25.67
and the children's
teeth are set on edge.
00:04:25.68\00:04:28.93
But every one shall
die for his own iniquity,
00:04:28.94\00:04:31.36
every man that
eateth the sour grape,
00:04:31.37\00:04:33.56
his teeth shall be set on edge.
00:04:33.57\00:04:36.63
Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord,
00:04:36.64\00:04:38.90
that I will make a new covenant
00:04:38.91\00:04:40.77
with the house of Israel,
and with the house of Judah,
00:04:40.78\00:04:43.87
Not according to the
covenant that I made with
00:04:43.88\00:04:46.59
their fathers in the day
that I took them by the hand
00:04:46.60\00:04:49.74
to bring them out
of the land of Egypt,
00:04:49.75\00:04:52.22
which my covenant they brake,
00:04:52.23\00:04:54.23
although I was a husband
unto them, saith the Lord,
00:04:54.24\00:04:57.42
But this shall be
the covenant that I will
00:04:57.43\00:04:59.59
make with the house of
Israel, After those days,
00:04:59.60\00:05:02.70
saith the Lord,
I will put my law
00:05:02.71\00:05:06.07
in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts,
00:05:06.08\00:05:10.37
and will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
00:05:10.38\00:05:14.27
And they shall teach no
more every man his neighbour,
00:05:14.28\00:05:17.23
and every man his
brother, saying, Know the Lord,
00:05:17.24\00:05:20.86
for they shall all know
me, from the least of them
00:05:20.87\00:05:24.07
unto the greatest of
them, saith the Lord,
00:05:24.08\00:05:26.69
for I will
forgive their iniquity,
00:05:26.70\00:05:29.95
and I will
remember their sin no more.
00:05:29.96\00:05:33.72
Thus saith the
Lord, which giveth the sun
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.54
for a light by day, and
the ordinances of the moon
00:05:36.55\00:05:40.55
and of the stars
for a light by night,
00:05:40.56\00:05:43.27
which divideth the sea
when the waves thereof roar,
00:05:43.28\00:05:46.63
The Lord of hosts is his
name, If those ordinances depart
00:05:46.64\00:05:51.92
from before me, saith the Lord,
00:05:51.93\00:05:54.73
then the seed of
Israel also shall cease
00:05:54.74\00:05:57.45
from being a
nation before me for ever.
00:05:57.46\00:06:00.43
Thus saith the Lord, If
heaven above can be measured,
00:06:00.44\00:06:03.49
and the foundations of the
earth searched out beneath,
00:06:03.50\00:06:06.67
I will also cast off
all the seed of Israel
00:06:06.68\00:06:08.66
for all that they
have done, saith the Lord.
00:06:08.67\00:06:11.76
Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that the city
00:06:11.77\00:06:14.49
shall be built to the
Lord from the tower of Hananeel
00:06:14.50\00:06:18.34
unto the gate of the corner.
00:06:18.35\00:06:20.59
And the measuring line shall
yet go forth over against it
00:06:20.60\00:06:24.05
upon the hill Gareb, and
shall compass about to Goath.
00:06:24.06\00:06:28.44
And the whole
valley of the dead bodies,
00:06:28.45\00:06:30.43
and of the ashes,
and all the fields
00:06:30.44\00:06:33.17
unto the brook of Kidron,
00:06:33.18\00:06:34.41
unto the corner of the
horse gate toward the east,
00:06:34.42\00:06:37.49
shall be holy unto the Lord,
it shall not be plucked up,
00:06:37.50\00:06:41.95
nor thrown down
any more for ever.
00:06:41.96\00:06:46.53
Continuing in
Jeremiah Chapter 32
00:06:46.54\00:06:49.48
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:49.49\00:06:52.94
The word that came to
Jeremiah from the Lord
00:06:52.95\00:06:55.22
in the tenth year of
Zedekiah king of Judah,
00:06:55.23\00:06:58.04
which was the eighteenth
year of Nebuchadrezzar.
00:06:58.05\00:07:00.98
For then the king of Babylon's
army besieged Jerusalem,
00:07:00.99\00:07:03.61
and Jeremiah the
prophet was shut up
00:07:03.62\00:07:05.21
in the court of the prison,
00:07:05.22\00:07:06.40
which was in the
king of Judah's house.
00:07:06.41\00:07:09.27
For Zedekiah king of
Judah had shut him up, saying,
00:07:09.28\00:07:12.67
Wherefore dost thou prophesy,
and say, Thus saith the Lord,
00:07:12.68\00:07:16.89
Behold, I will give
this city into the hand
00:07:16.90\00:07:19.06
of the king of
Babylon, and he shall take it,
00:07:19.07\00:07:21.78
And Zedekiah king of
Judah shall not escape
00:07:21.79\00:07:24.02
out of the hand of the
Chaldeans, but shall surely
00:07:24.03\00:07:26.16
be delivered into the
hand of the king of Babylon,
00:07:26.17\00:07:28.72
and shall speak
with him mouth to mouth,
00:07:28.73\00:07:30.93
and his eyes shall behold
his eyes, And he shall lead
00:07:30.94\00:07:33.41
Zedekiah to
Babylon, and there shall
00:07:33.42\00:07:35.27
he be until I visit
him, saith the Lord,
00:07:35.28\00:07:37.85
though ye fight
with the Chaldeans,
00:07:37.86\00:07:39.40
ye shall not prosper.
00:07:39.41\00:07:42.39
And Jeremiah said, The
word of the Lord came unto me,
00:07:42.40\00:07:45.74
saying, Behold, Hanameel
the son of Shallum thine
00:07:45.75\00:07:50.08
uncle shall come
unto thee, saying,
00:07:50.09\00:07:52.80
Buy thee my field
that is in Anathoth,
00:07:52.81\00:07:55.75
for the right of
redemption is thine to buy it.
00:07:55.76\00:08:00.01
So Hanameel mine uncle's son
00:08:00.02\00:08:02.35
came to me in the
court of the prison
00:08:02.36\00:08:05.06
according to the word of
the Lord, and said unto me,
00:08:05.07\00:08:08.78
Buy my field, I pray
thee, that is in Anathoth,
00:08:08.79\00:08:11.48
which is in the
country of Benjamin,
00:08:11.49\00:08:13.86
for the right of
inheritance is thine,
00:08:13.87\00:08:15.55
and the redemption is
thine, buy it for thyself.
00:08:15.56\00:08:19.11
And then I knew that
this was the word of the Lord.
00:08:19.12\00:08:22.28
And I bought the field
of Hanameel my uncle's son,
00:08:22.29\00:08:24.53
that was in Anathoth,
and weighed him the money,
00:08:24.54\00:08:27.42
even seventeen
shekels of silver.
00:08:27.43\00:08:30.34
And I subscribed the
evidence, and sealed it,
00:08:30.35\00:08:32.86
and took
witnesses, and weighed him
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.75
the money in the balances.
00:08:34.76\00:08:37.06
So I took the
evidence of the purchase,
00:08:37.07\00:08:39.63
both that which
was sealed according
00:08:39.64\00:08:41.68
to the law and custom,
and that which was open,
00:08:41.69\00:08:44.71
And I gave the
evidence of the purchase
00:08:44.72\00:08:47.52
unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
00:08:47.53\00:08:52.41
in the sight of
Hanameel mine uncle's son,
00:08:52.42\00:08:54.75
and in the presence of
the witnesses that subscribed
00:08:54.76\00:08:56.94
the book of the
purchase, before all the Jews
00:08:56.95\00:08:59.23
that sat in the
court of the prison.
00:08:59.24\00:09:01.45
And I charged Baruch saying,
00:09:01.46\00:09:04.39
Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel,
00:09:04.40\00:09:07.37
Take these evidences,
this evidence of the purchase,
00:09:07.38\00:09:10.46
both which is sealed, and
this evidence which is open,
00:09:10.47\00:09:14.34
and put them in
an earthen vessel,
00:09:14.35\00:09:16.58
that they may
continue many days.
00:09:16.59\00:09:19.86
For thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel,
00:09:19.87\00:09:22.60
Houses and fields and vineyards
00:09:22.61\00:09:25.90
shall be possessed
again in this land.
00:09:25.91\00:09:29.41
Now when I had delivered
the evidence of the purchase
00:09:29.42\00:09:32.36
unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
00:09:32.37\00:09:34.57
I prayed unto the
Lord, saying, Ah Lord God!
00:09:34.58\00:09:40.27
behold, thou hast made
the heaven and the earth
00:09:40.28\00:09:44.17
by thy great power
and stretched out arm,
00:09:44.18\00:09:48.29
and there is
nothing too hard for thee,
00:09:48.30\00:09:52.26
Thou shewest loving
kindness unto thousands,
00:09:52.27\00:09:55.70
and recompensest the
iniquity of the fathers
00:09:55.71\00:09:58.35
into the bosom of
their children after them,
00:09:58.36\00:10:00.93
the Great, the Mighty
God, the Lord of hosts,
00:10:00.94\00:10:05.25
is his name, Great in
counsel, and mighty in work,
00:10:05.26\00:10:10.41
for thine eyes are
open upon all the ways
00:10:10.42\00:10:13.93
of the sons of men, to
give every one according
00:10:13.94\00:10:17.15
to his ways, and according
to the fruit of his doings,
00:10:17.16\00:10:20.97
Which hast set signs and
wonders in the land of Egypt,
00:10:20.98\00:10:24.04
even unto this day, and in
Israel, and among other men,
00:10:24.05\00:10:28.18
and hast made thee a
name, as at this day,
00:10:28.19\00:10:31.68
And hast brought
forth thy people Israel
00:10:31.69\00:10:33.54
out of the land of Egypt
with signs, and with wonders,
00:10:33.55\00:10:36.18
and with a strong hand,
and with a stretched out arm,
00:10:36.19\00:10:39.96
and with great terror,
00:10:39.97\00:10:41.45
And hast given them
this land, which thou didst
00:10:41.46\00:10:43.45
swear to their
fathers to give them,
00:10:43.46\00:10:45.27
a land flowing with milk
and honey, And they came in,
00:10:45.28\00:10:48.96
and possessed it, but
they obeyed not thy voice,
00:10:48.97\00:10:53.38
neither walked in thy law,
they have done nothing of all
00:10:53.39\00:10:57.42
that thou
commandedst them to do,
00:10:57.43\00:10:59.40
therefore thou hast
caused all this evil
00:10:59.41\00:11:00.96
to come upon
them, Behold the mounts,
00:11:00.97\00:11:03.79
they are come unto
the city to take it,
00:11:03.80\00:11:05.73
and the city is given
into the hand of the Chaldeans,
00:11:05.74\00:11:08.18
that fight against
it, because of the sword,
00:11:08.19\00:11:09.94
and of the famine,
and of the pestilence,
00:11:09.95\00:11:11.98
and what thou hast
spoken is come to pass,
00:11:11.99\00:11:14.59
and, behold, thou seest it.
00:11:14.60\00:11:17.47
And thou hast said
unto me, O Lord God,
00:11:17.48\00:11:19.68
Buy thee the field for
money, and take witnesses,
00:11:19.69\00:11:22.00
for the city is given
into the hand of the Chaldeans.
00:11:22.01\00:11:25.39
And then came the word of
the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
00:11:25.40\00:11:28.94
Behold, I am the
Lord, the God of all flesh,
00:11:28.95\00:11:34.53
is there any
thing too hard for me?
00:11:34.54\00:11:37.75
Therefore thus saith the
Lord, Behold, I will give
00:11:37.76\00:11:40.29
this city into the hand of
the Chaldeans, and into the hand
00:11:40.30\00:11:43.89
of
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
00:11:43.90\00:11:45.52
and he shall take
it, And the Chaldeans,
00:11:45.53\00:11:47.83
that fight against this
city, shall come and set
00:11:47.84\00:11:49.59
fire on this city, and
burn it with the houses,
00:11:49.60\00:11:52.17
upon whose roofs they
have offered incense unto Baal,
00:11:52.18\00:11:55.11
and poured out drink
offerings unto other gods,
00:11:55.12\00:11:57.94
to provoke me to anger.
00:11:57.95\00:12:00.26
For the children of
Israel and the children of Judah
00:12:00.27\00:12:02.22
have only done evil
before me from their youth,
00:12:02.23\00:12:04.92
for the children of
Israel have only provoked
00:12:04.93\00:12:06.81
me to anger with the work
of their hands, saith the Lord.
00:12:06.82\00:12:10.33
For this city hath
been to me as a provocation
00:12:10.34\00:12:12.91
of mine anger and
of my fury from the day
00:12:12.92\00:12:15.72
that they built it
even unto this day,
00:12:15.73\00:12:17.94
that I should remove
it from before my face,
00:12:17.95\00:12:19.97
Because of all the
evil of the children
00:12:19.98\00:12:21.72
of Israel and of
the children of Judah,
00:12:21.73\00:12:23.86
which they have done
to provoke me to anger,
00:12:23.87\00:12:25.91
they, their kings,
their princes, their priests,
00:12:25.92\00:12:28.39
and their prophets,
and the men of Judah,
00:12:28.40\00:12:29.93
and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
00:12:29.94\00:12:32.21
And they have turned unto
me the back, and not the face,
00:12:32.22\00:12:36.23
though I taught them, rising
up early and teaching them,
00:12:36.24\00:12:40.26
yet they have not hearkened
to receive instruction.
00:12:40.27\00:12:43.15
But they set their
abominations in the house,
00:12:43.16\00:12:45.05
which is called by
my name, to defile it.
00:12:45.06\00:12:48.56
And they built the
high places of Baal,
00:12:48.57\00:12:50.29
which are in the
valley of the son of Hinnom,
00:12:50.30\00:12:52.29
to cause their sons and
their daughters to pass through
00:12:52.30\00:12:54.59
the fire unto Molech,
which I commanded them not,
00:12:54.60\00:12:57.63
neither came it into my mind,
00:12:57.64\00:12:59.14
that they should
do this abomination,
00:12:59.15\00:13:00.79
to cause Judah to sin.
00:13:00.80\00:13:02.88
And now therefore thus saith
the Lord, the God of Israel,
00:13:02.89\00:13:06.01
concerning this
city, whereof ye say,
00:13:06.02\00:13:08.49
It shall be
delivered into the hand
00:13:08.50\00:13:09.97
of the king of Babylon by
the sword, and by the famine,
00:13:09.98\00:13:12.72
and by the pestilence,
Behold, I will gather them
00:13:12.73\00:13:15.98
out of all
countries, whither I have driven
00:13:15.99\00:13:17.65
them in mine anger, and in
my fury, and in great wrath,
00:13:17.66\00:13:20.71
and I will bring them
again unto this place,
00:13:20.72\00:13:24.42
and I will cause
them to dwell safely,
00:13:24.43\00:13:27.54
And they shall be my
people, and I will be their God,
00:13:27.55\00:13:30.98
And I will give them
one heart, and one way,
00:13:30.99\00:13:33.98
that they may fear me for ever,
00:13:33.99\00:13:35.62
for the good of them, and
of their children after them,
00:13:35.63\00:13:38.96
And I will make an everlasting
00:13:38.97\00:13:40.26
covenant with them, that I
will not turn away from them,
00:13:40.27\00:13:42.61
to do them good, but I will
put my fear in their hearts,
00:13:42.62\00:13:45.57
that they shall
not depart from me.
00:13:45.58\00:13:48.55
Yea, I will rejoice
over them to do them good,
00:13:48.56\00:13:51.63
and I will plant them
in this land assuredly
00:13:51.64\00:13:53.84
with my whole heart
and with my whole soul.
00:13:53.85\00:13:57.10
For thus saith the
Lord, Like as I have brought
00:13:57.11\00:13:59.91
all this great
evil upon this people,
00:13:59.92\00:14:02.45
so will I bring
upon them all the good
00:14:02.46\00:14:04.89
that I have promised them.
00:14:04.90\00:14:06.28
And fields shall be bought
in this land, whereof ye say,
00:14:06.29\00:14:09.54
It is desolate without
man or beast, it is given into
00:14:09.55\00:14:11.86
the hand of the Chaldeans.
00:14:11.87\00:14:13.92
Men shall buy fields for money,
00:14:13.93\00:14:15.79
and subscribe
evidences, and seal them,
00:14:15.80\00:14:17.69
and take witnesses
in the land of Benjamin,
00:14:17.70\00:14:19.66
and in the
places about Jerusalem,
00:14:19.67\00:14:21.77
and in the cities of Judah,
00:14:21.78\00:14:23.06
and in the
cities of the mountains,
00:14:23.07\00:14:25.27
and in the cities of the valley,
00:14:25.28\00:14:26.85
and in the cities of the south,
00:14:26.94\00:14:29.08
for I will cause
their captivity to return,
00:14:29.09\00:14:32.81
saith the Lord.
00:14:32.82\00:14:34.67
Thank you for being
with me to read the Bible,
00:14:34.68\00:14:36.43
and please join
me again next time
00:14:36.44\00:14:37.88
to read Jeremiah
together, good bye.
