Hello and welcome to
"His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.47\00:00:17.88
I am Kelly Mowrer
and today we're going to
00:00:17.89\00:00:19.78
continue reading together
in the Book of Jeremiah.
00:00:19.79\00:00:22.72
But let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.73\00:00:25.57
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank you so much for this day
00:00:25.58\00:00:29.12
that you have made.
00:00:29.13\00:00:30.86
May we rejoice and be glad in it
00:00:30.87\00:00:32.97
and may we particularly
in Your presence now,
00:00:32.98\00:00:36.25
hear Your words speaking to us
00:00:36.26\00:00:39.06
and bearing fruit in our lives.
00:00:39.07\00:00:40.87
We love You so much
00:00:40.88\00:00:42.00
and thank You
for loving us, amen.
00:00:42.01\00:00:45.46
Reading in the Book of Jeremiah,
00:00:45.47\00:00:47.09
Chapter 41
beginning with verse 16
00:00:47.10\00:00:50.64
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:50.65\00:00:53.64
Then took Johanan
the son of Kareah,
00:00:53.65\00:00:56.57
and all the
captains of the forces
00:00:56.58\00:00:58.56
that were with him, all
the remnant of the people
00:00:58.57\00:01:01.65
whom he had recovered from
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah,
00:01:01.66\00:01:04.83
from Mizpah, after
that he had slain Gedaliah
00:01:04.84\00:01:08.23
the son of Ahikam,
even mighty men of war,
00:01:08.24\00:01:11.84
and the women, and the children,
00:01:11.85\00:01:13.99
and the eunuchs, whom he
had brought again from Gibeon,
00:01:14.00\00:01:17.81
And they departed, and dwelt
in the habitation of Chimham,
00:01:17.82\00:01:22.08
which is by Bethlehem,
to go to enter into Egypt,
00:01:22.09\00:01:26.33
Because of the Chaldeans,
for they were afraid of them,
00:01:26.34\00:01:29.10
because Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah
00:01:29.11\00:01:31.56
had slain
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
00:01:31.57\00:01:34.76
whom the king of Babylon
made governor in the land.
00:01:34.77\00:01:39.36
Continuing in
Jeremiah Chapter 42
00:01:39.37\00:01:41.80
and this is the
Kings James Version.
00:01:41.81\00:01:44.71
Then all the
captains of the forces,
00:01:44.72\00:01:47.16
and Johanan the son of Kareah,
00:01:47.17\00:01:49.87
and Jezaniah
the son of Hoshaiah,
00:01:49.88\00:01:52.67
and all the
people from the least
00:01:52.68\00:01:54.70
even unto the greatest,
00:01:54.71\00:01:56.07
came near, And said
unto Jeremiah the prophet,
00:01:56.08\00:02:00.14
Let, we beseech
thee, our supplication
00:02:00.15\00:02:03.08
be accepted before thee,
00:02:03.09\00:02:05.06
and pray for us
unto the Lord thy God,
00:02:05.07\00:02:07.81
even for all this remnant,
00:02:07.82\00:02:09.91
for we are left
but a few of many,
00:02:09.92\00:02:12.91
as thine eyes do behold us,
00:02:12.92\00:02:15.10
That the Lord
thy God may shew us
00:02:15.11\00:02:17.23
the way wherein we may walk,
00:02:17.24\00:02:19.64
and the thing that we may do.
00:02:19.65\00:02:22.90
Then Jeremiah the
prophet said unto them,
00:02:22.91\00:02:25.29
I have heard you, behold,
I will pray unto the Lord
00:02:25.30\00:02:28.79
your God
according to your words,
00:02:28.80\00:02:31.16
and it shall come to
pass, that whatsoever thing
00:02:31.17\00:02:33.55
the Lord shall answer you,
I will declare it unto you,
00:02:33.56\00:02:36.71
I will keep
nothing back from you.
00:02:36.72\00:02:39.69
Then they said to
Jeremiah, The Lord be a true
00:02:39.70\00:02:42.91
and faithful witness between us,
00:02:42.92\00:02:44.88
if we do not even
according to all things
00:02:47.03\00:02:50.07
for the which the Lord
thy God shall send thee to us.
00:02:50.08\00:02:53.60
Whether it be good,
or whether it be evil,
00:02:53.61\00:02:56.29
we will obey the
voice of the Lord our God,
00:02:56.30\00:02:58.97
to whom we send thee,
that it may be well with us,
00:02:58.98\00:03:02.00
when we obey the
voice of the Lord our God.
00:03:02.01\00:03:05.36
And it came to
pass after ten days,
00:03:05.37\00:03:07.74
that the word of the
Lord came unto Jeremiah.
00:03:07.75\00:03:11.12
Then called he
Johanan the son of Kareah,
00:03:11.13\00:03:14.57
and all the
captains of the forces
00:03:14.58\00:03:16.30
which were with
him, and all the people
00:03:16.31\00:03:18.15
from the least
even to the greatest,
00:03:18.16\00:03:21.14
And said unto them,
Thus saith the Lord,
00:03:21.15\00:03:24.52
the God of Israel,
unto whom ye sent me
00:03:24.53\00:03:27.97
to present your
supplication before him,
00:03:27.98\00:03:31.22
If ye will still
abide in this land,
00:03:31.23\00:03:34.50
then will I build
you, and not pull you down,
00:03:34.51\00:03:38.39
and I will plant
you, and not pluck you up,
00:03:38.40\00:03:41.44
for I repent me of the
evil that I have done unto you.
00:03:41.45\00:03:44.14
Be not afraid of
the king of Babylon,
00:03:44.15\00:03:47.27
of whom ye are
afraid, be not afraid of him,
00:03:47.28\00:03:50.06
saith the Lord, for I
am with you to save you,
00:03:50.07\00:03:54.30
and to deliver
you from his hand.
00:03:54.31\00:03:57.15
And I will show
mercies unto you,
00:03:57.16\00:03:59.56
that he may have mercy upon you,
00:03:59.57\00:04:01.67
and cause you to
return to your own land.
00:04:01.68\00:04:05.25
But if ye say, We will
not dwell in this land,
00:04:05.26\00:04:08.80
neither obey the
voice of the Lord your God,
00:04:08.81\00:04:10.94
Saying, No, but we will
go into the land of Egypt,
00:04:10.95\00:04:13.68
where we shall see no war,
00:04:13.69\00:04:14.94
nor hear the
sound of the trumpet,
00:04:14.95\00:04:16.19
nor have hunger of
bread, and there will we dwell,
00:04:16.20\00:04:20.18
And now therefore
hear the word of the Lord,
00:04:20.19\00:04:22.35
ye remnant of Judah,
Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
00:04:22.36\00:04:25.85
the God of Israel,
00:04:25.86\00:04:27.63
If ye wholly set your
faces to enter into Egypt,
00:04:27.64\00:04:32.26
and go to sojourn there,
Then it shall come to pass,
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.34
that the sword, which ye feared,
00:04:35.35\00:04:37.91
shall overtake you
there in the land of Egypt,
00:04:37.92\00:04:41.70
and the famine,
whereof ye were afraid,
00:04:41.71\00:04:44.49
shall follow close
after you there in Egypt,
00:04:44.50\00:04:48.04
and there ye shall die.
00:04:48.05\00:04:50.17
So shall it be with all the men
00:04:50.18\00:04:52.79
that set their faces to go
into Egypt to sojourn there,
00:04:52.80\00:04:57.52
they shall die by the sword,
00:04:57.53\00:04:59.46
by the famine,
and by the pestilence,
00:04:59.47\00:05:01.36
and none of them
shall remain or escape
00:05:01.37\00:05:04.59
from the evil that I
will bring upon them.
00:05:04.60\00:05:07.43
For thus saith
the Lord of hosts,
00:05:07.44\00:05:08.84
the God of Israel, As
mine anger and my fury
00:05:08.85\00:05:12.55
hath been poured forth upon
the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
00:05:12.56\00:05:16.43
so shall my fury be
poured forth upon you,
00:05:16.44\00:05:19.62
when ye shall enter into Egypt,
00:05:19.63\00:05:21.96
and ye shall be an
execration, and an astonishment,
00:05:21.97\00:05:25.87
and a curse, and a reproach,
00:05:25.88\00:05:28.65
and ye shall see
this place no more.
00:05:28.66\00:05:31.66
The Lord hath
said concerning you,
00:05:31.67\00:05:33.96
O ye remnant of
Judah, Go ye not into Egypt,
00:05:33.97\00:05:38.88
know certainly that I
have admonished you this day.
00:05:38.89\00:05:43.15
For ye
dissembled in your hearts,
00:05:43.16\00:05:45.01
when ye sent me
unto the Lord your God,
00:05:45.02\00:05:47.04
saying, Pray for us
unto the Lord our God,
00:05:47.05\00:05:48.92
and according unto all
that the Lord our God shall say,
00:05:48.93\00:05:51.78
so declare unto
us, and we will do it.
00:05:51.79\00:05:54.69
And now I have this
day declared it to you,
00:05:54.70\00:05:58.58
but ye have not obeyed
00:05:58.59\00:05:59.62
the voice of the Lord your God,
00:05:59.63\00:06:01.63
nor any thing for the
which he hath sent me unto you.
00:06:01.64\00:06:05.98
Now therefore know certainly
00:06:05.99\00:06:08.18
that ye shall die by the sword,
00:06:08.19\00:06:10.16
by the famine,
and by the pestilence,
00:06:10.17\00:06:12.38
in the place whither ye
desire to go and to sojourn.
00:06:12.39\00:06:18.18
Continuing in
Jeremiah Chapter 43
00:06:18.19\00:06:20.63
and this is the
King James Version.
00:06:20.64\00:06:23.81
And it came to pass,
that when Jeremiah had made
00:06:23.82\00:06:26.69
an end of speaking
unto all the people
00:06:26.70\00:06:29.21
all the words of
the Lord their God,
00:06:29.22\00:06:31.19
for which the Lord their
God had sent him to them,
00:06:31.20\00:06:33.82
even all these words,
00:06:33.83\00:06:35.86
Then spake Azariah
the son of Hoshaiah,
00:06:35.87\00:06:39.64
and Johanan the son of
Kareah, and all the proud men,
00:06:39.65\00:06:43.92
saying unto Jeremiah,
Thou speakest falsely,
00:06:43.93\00:06:48.46
the Lord our God
hath not sent thee to say,
00:06:48.47\00:06:51.36
Go not into
Egypt to sojourn there,
00:06:51.37\00:06:55.67
But Baruch the son of Neriah
setteth thee on against us,
00:06:55.68\00:06:59.32
for to deliver us into
the hand of the Chaldeans,
00:06:59.33\00:07:02.15
that they might put us to death,
00:07:02.16\00:07:03.60
and carry us away
captives into Babylon.
00:07:03.61\00:07:07.69
So Johanan the son of Kareah,
00:07:07.70\00:07:09.85
and all the
captains of the forces,
00:07:09.86\00:07:11.52
and all the people, obeyed
not the voice of the Lord,
00:07:11.53\00:07:16.39
to dwell in the land of Judah.
00:07:16.40\00:07:19.45
But Johanan the son of Kareah,
00:07:19.46\00:07:21.28
and all the
captains of the forces,
00:07:21.29\00:07:23.51
took all the remnant of Judah,
00:07:23.52\00:07:25.82
that were
returned from all nations,
00:07:25.83\00:07:27.65
whither they had been driven,
00:07:27.66\00:07:28.73
to dwell in the land of Judah,
00:07:28.74\00:07:30.34
Even men, and
women, and children,
00:07:32.83\00:07:34.99
and the king's daughters,
00:07:35.00\00:07:36.21
and every
person that Nebuzaradan
00:07:36.22\00:07:38.66
the captain of the
guard had left with Gedaliah
00:07:38.67\00:07:41.81
the son of Ahikam
the son of Shaphan,
00:07:41.82\00:07:44.59
and Jeremiah the prophet,
and Baruch the son of Neriah.
00:07:44.60\00:07:49.50
So they came into
the land of Egypt,
00:07:49.51\00:07:51.55
for they obeyed not
the voice of the Lord,
00:07:51.56\00:07:54.62
thus came they
even to Tahpanhes.
00:07:54.63\00:07:58.03
Then came the word of the
Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,
00:07:58.04\00:08:01.21
saying, Take great
stones in thine hand,
00:08:01.22\00:08:04.17
and hide them in the
clay in the brickkiln,
00:08:04.18\00:08:06.83
which is at the entry of
Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes,
00:08:06.84\00:08:10.52
in the sight of
the men of Judah,
00:08:10.53\00:08:12.77
And say unto them, Thus
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:08:12.78\00:08:16.25
the God of Israel,
00:08:16.26\00:08:18.07
Behold, I will send
00:08:18.08\00:08:20.24
and take Nebuchadrezzar
the king of Babylon,
00:08:20.25\00:08:23.47
my servant, and
will set his throne
00:08:23.48\00:08:25.99
upon these
stones that I have hid,
00:08:26.00\00:08:28.51
and he shall spread his
royal pavilion over them.
00:08:28.52\00:08:31.98
And when he cometh,
00:08:31.99\00:08:33.22
he shall smite
the land of Egypt,
00:08:33.23\00:08:36.01
and deliver such as
are for death to death,
00:08:36.02\00:08:38.86
and such as are for
captivity to captivity,
00:08:38.87\00:08:41.96
and such as are for
the sword to the sword.
00:08:41.97\00:08:45.27
And I will kindle a fire
00:08:45.28\00:08:46.45
in the houses of
the gods of Egypt,
00:08:46.46\00:08:49.05
and he shall burn them,
and carry them away captives,
00:08:49.06\00:08:52.71
and he shall array
himself with the land of Egypt,
00:08:52.72\00:08:55.30
as a shepherd
putteth on his garment,
00:08:55.31\00:08:57.25
and he shall go
forth from thence in peace.
00:08:57.26\00:09:01.03
He shall break also
the images of Bethshemesh,
00:09:01.04\00:09:04.19
that is in the land of Egypt,
00:09:04.20\00:09:05.34
and the houses of
the gods of the Egyptians
00:09:05.35\00:09:08.22
shall he burn with fire.
00:09:08.23\00:09:11.43
Continuing in
Jeremiah Chapter 44
00:09:11.44\00:09:13.61
and this is the
King James Version.
00:09:13.62\00:09:16.99
The word that came to
Jeremiah concerning all the Jews
00:09:17.00\00:09:19.89
which dwell in
the land of Egypt,
00:09:19.90\00:09:21.86
which dwell at
Migdol, and at Tahpanhes,
00:09:21.87\00:09:24.28
and at Noph, and in
the country of Pathros,
00:09:24.29\00:09:26.59
saying, Thus
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:09:26.60\00:09:29.05
the God of Israel, Ye
have seen all the evil
00:09:29.06\00:09:31.88
that I have
brought upon Jerusalem,
00:09:31.89\00:09:33.36
and upon all
the cities of Judah,
00:09:33.37\00:09:35.06
and, behold, this day
they are a desolation,
00:09:35.07\00:09:37.54
and no man dwelleth therein,
00:09:37.55\00:09:39.78
Because of their wickedness
which they have committed
00:09:39.79\00:09:42.56
to provoke me to anger,
00:09:42.57\00:09:44.03
in that they
went to burn incense,
00:09:44.04\00:09:45.95
and to serve other
gods, whom they knew not,
00:09:45.96\00:09:48.68
neither they,
ye, nor your fathers.
00:09:48.69\00:09:52.37
Howbeit I sent unto you
all my servants the prophets,
00:09:52.38\00:09:55.24
rising early and sending them,
00:09:55.25\00:09:57.47
saying, oh, do not this
abominable thing that I hate.
00:09:57.48\00:10:02.52
But they hearkened not,
00:10:02.53\00:10:04.39
nor inclined their ear to
turn from their wickedness,
00:10:04.40\00:10:08.02
to burn no
incense unto other gods.
00:10:08.03\00:10:11.11
Wherefore my fury and
mine anger was poured forth,
00:10:11.12\00:10:13.53
and was kindled in
the cities of Judah
00:10:13.54\00:10:15.72
and in the streets of Jerusalem,
00:10:15.73\00:10:17.13
and they are wasted and
desolate, as at this day.
00:10:17.14\00:10:21.07
Therefore now
thus saith the Lord,
00:10:21.08\00:10:23.07
the God of hosts,
the God of Israel,
00:10:23.08\00:10:25.62
Wherefore commit ye this
great evil against your souls,
00:10:25.63\00:10:30.08
to cut off from
you man and woman,
00:10:30.09\00:10:31.89
child and
suckling, out of Judah,
00:10:31.90\00:10:33.89
to leave you none to remain,
00:10:33.90\00:10:35.55
In that ye provoke me unto wrath
00:10:35.56\00:10:37.48
with the works of your hands,
00:10:37.49\00:10:39.21
burning incense unto
other gods in the land of Egypt,
00:10:39.22\00:10:41.91
whither ye be gone to dwell,
00:10:41.92\00:10:43.72
that ye might
cut yourselves off,
00:10:43.73\00:10:45.01
and that ye might be a curse
00:10:45.02\00:10:46.20
and a reproach among all
the nations of the earth?
00:10:46.21\00:10:50.00
Have ye forgotten the
wickedness of your fathers,
00:10:50.01\00:10:52.75
and the wickedness
of the kings of Judah,
00:10:52.76\00:10:55.04
and the
wickedness of their wives,
00:10:55.05\00:10:56.61
and your own wickedness,
00:10:56.62\00:10:58.01
and the
wickedness of your wives,
00:10:58.02\00:10:59.48
which they have
committed in the land of Judah,
00:10:59.49\00:11:01.58
and in the streets of Jerusalem?
00:11:01.59\00:11:03.72
They are not
humbled even unto this day,
00:11:03.73\00:11:06.69
neither have they
feared, nor walked in my law,
00:11:06.70\00:11:09.89
nor in my statutes,
that I set before you
00:11:09.90\00:11:12.21
and before your fathers.
00:11:12.22\00:11:14.80
Therefore thus saith the Lord
of hosts, the God of Israel,
00:11:14.81\00:11:18.16
Behold, I will set my
face against you for evil,
00:11:18.17\00:11:21.29
and to cut off all Judah.
00:11:21.30\00:11:24.19
And I will take
the remnant of Judah,
00:11:24.20\00:11:25.78
that have set their faces
00:11:25.79\00:11:27.01
to go into the land of
Egypt to sojourn there,
00:11:27.02\00:11:29.81
and they shall all be consumed,
00:11:29.82\00:11:31.82
and fall in the land of Egypt,
00:11:31.83\00:11:34.31
they shall even be
consumed by the sword
00:11:34.32\00:11:36.65
and by the
famine, they shall die,
00:11:36.66\00:11:38.62
from the least
even unto the greatest,
00:11:38.63\00:11:40.59
by the sword and by the famine,
00:11:40.60\00:11:43.14
and they shall be an execration,
00:11:43.15\00:11:44.70
and an astonishment,
and a curse, and a reproach.
00:11:44.71\00:11:49.07
For I will punish them
that dwell in the land of Egypt,
00:11:49.08\00:11:51.87
as I have punished Jerusalem,
00:11:51.88\00:11:53.41
by the sword, by the
famine, and by the pestilence,
00:11:53.42\00:11:56.17
So that none of
the remnant of Judah,
00:11:56.18\00:11:57.90
which are gone into the
land of Egypt to sojourn there,
00:11:57.91\00:12:00.93
shall escape or remain,
00:12:00.94\00:12:03.84
that they should
return into the land of Judah,
00:12:03.85\00:12:06.45
to the which they have a desire
00:12:06.46\00:12:07.95
to return to dwell
there, for none shall return
00:12:07.96\00:12:10.89
but such as shall escape.
00:12:10.90\00:12:13.39
Then all the men which knew
00:12:13.40\00:12:14.77
that their wives had
burned incense unto other gods,
00:12:14.78\00:12:17.26
and all the women that stood by,
00:12:17.27\00:12:19.18
a great multitude,
even all the people
00:12:19.19\00:12:21.83
that dwelt in the land of Egypt,
00:12:21.84\00:12:23.08
in Pathros,
answered Jeremiah, saying,
00:12:23.09\00:12:26.91
As for the word that
thou hast spoken unto us
00:12:26.92\00:12:29.19
in the name of the Lord,
we will not hearken unto thee.
00:12:29.20\00:12:32.81
But we will certainly do
whatsoever thing goeth forth
00:12:32.82\00:12:36.17
out of our own mouth,
00:12:36.18\00:12:37.88
to burn incense
unto the queen of heaven,
00:12:37.89\00:12:39.81
and to pour out
drink offerings unto her,
00:12:39.82\00:12:42.02
as we have done,
we, and our fathers,
00:12:42.03\00:12:44.43
our kings, and our
princes, in the cities of Judah,
00:12:44.44\00:12:47.02
and in the streets of Jerusalem,
00:12:47.03\00:12:48.80
and then had we
plenty of victuals,
00:12:48.81\00:12:50.81
and were well, and saw no evil.
00:12:50.82\00:12:53.77
But since we left off to burn
incense to the queen of heaven,
00:12:53.78\00:12:56.55
and to pour out
drink offerings unto her,
00:12:56.56\00:12:57.90
we have wanted all things,
00:12:57.91\00:12:59.04
and have been consumed by
the sword and by the famine.
00:12:59.05\00:13:02.26
And when we burned
incense to the queen of heaven,
00:13:02.27\00:13:04.17
and poured out
drink offerings unto her,
00:13:04.18\00:13:05.91
did we make her
cakes to worship her,
00:13:05.92\00:13:08.36
and pour out drink
offerings unto her,
00:13:08.37\00:13:10.06
without our men?
00:13:10.07\00:13:12.84
Then Jeremiah said
unto all the people,
00:13:12.85\00:13:15.13
to the men, and to the women,
00:13:15.14\00:13:16.48
and to all the people
which had given him that answer,
00:13:16.49\00:13:19.41
saying, The incense that ye
burned in the cities of Judah,
00:13:19.42\00:13:23.05
and in the streets of Jerusalem,
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.67
ye, and your fathers,
your kings, and your princes,
00:13:24.68\00:13:27.71
and the people of the land,
00:13:27.72\00:13:29.82
did not the Lord remember them,
00:13:29.83\00:13:32.69
and came it not into his mind?
00:13:32.70\00:13:35.89
So that the Lord
could no longer bear,
00:13:35.90\00:13:38.16
because of the
evil of your doings,
00:13:38.17\00:13:41.71
and because of the abominations
00:13:41.72\00:13:43.45
which ye have committed,
00:13:43.46\00:13:44.86
therefore is
your land desolation,
00:13:44.87\00:13:48.22
and an
astonishment, and a curse,
00:13:48.23\00:13:50.80
without an
inhabitant, as at this day.
00:13:50.81\00:13:54.03
Because ye have burned incense,
00:13:54.04\00:13:55.82
and because ye have
sinned against the Lord,
00:13:55.83\00:13:57.60
and have not obeyed
the voice of the Lord,
00:13:57.61\00:14:00.21
nor walked in his
law, nor in his statutes,
00:14:00.22\00:14:02.70
nor in his testimonies,
00:14:02.71\00:14:04.40
therefore this evil
is happened unto you,
00:14:04.41\00:14:07.05
as at this day.
00:14:07.06\00:14:09.04
Moreover Jeremiah
said unto all the people,
00:14:09.05\00:14:11.62
and to all the women,
Hear the word of the Lord,
00:14:11.63\00:14:14.73
all Judah that are
in the land of Egypt,
00:14:14.74\00:14:17.80
Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, saying,
00:14:17.81\00:14:20.80
Ye and your wives have
both spoken with your mouths,
00:14:20.81\00:14:24.78
and fulfilled
with your hand, saying,
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.05
We will surely perform
our vows that we have vowed,
00:14:27.06\00:14:29.95
to burn incense to
the queen of heaven,
00:14:29.96\00:14:31.76
and to pour out
drink offerings unto her,
00:14:31.77\00:14:34.05
ye will surely
accomplish your vows,
00:14:34.06\00:14:36.68
and surely perform your vows.
00:14:36.69\00:14:39.86
