Hello and welcome to "His Words Are Life." 00:00:15.33\00:00:17.89 I am Kelly Mowrer and today we're going 00:00:17.90\00:00:19.40 to be reading in the Book of Jeremiah. 00:00:19.41\00:00:21.24 But before we start let's pray. 00:00:21.25\00:00:24.09 Dear Heavenly Father, as we hear today 00:00:24.10\00:00:27.50 Your words spoken so long ago. 00:00:27.51\00:00:30.57 Please send the Holy Spirit 00:00:30.58\00:00:32.00 to bring them new meaning to our lives today. 00:00:32.01\00:00:36.65 May we not turn aside from what you have told us to do 00:00:36.66\00:00:40.51 and for the good of our souls and for the safety of our feet 00:00:40.52\00:00:44.06 and our lives keep us walking in Your ways. 00:00:44.07\00:00:47.06 We love you so much 00:00:47.07\00:00:48.08 and thank You for loving us, amen. 00:00:48.09\00:00:51.29 We're reading in the book of Jeremiah. 00:00:51.30\00:00:53.51 Staring in Chapter 44, with verse 26 00:00:53.52\00:00:57.29 this is the King James Version. 00:00:57.30\00:01:00.24 "Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, 00:01:00.25\00:01:03.14 all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt. 00:01:03.15\00:01:06.44 Behold I have sworn by my great name, 00:01:06.45\00:01:09.72 saith the Lord, that my name 00:01:09.73\00:01:12.13 shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah 00:01:12.14\00:01:15.65 in all the land of Egypt. 00:01:15.66\00:01:16.98 Saying, the Lord God liveth, 00:01:16.99\00:01:18.58 behold, I will watch over them for evil, 00:01:18.59\00:01:21.18 and not for good, and all the men of Judah 00:01:21.19\00:01:23.40 that are in the land of Egypt. 00:01:23.41\00:01:25.33 Shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, 00:01:25.34\00:01:28.49 until there be an end of them. 00:01:28.50\00:01:30.55 Yet a small number that escape the sword 00:01:30.56\00:01:34.01 shall return out of the land of Egypt 00:01:34.02\00:01:35.85 into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, 00:01:35.86\00:01:39.32 that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, 00:01:39.33\00:01:42.38 shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs. 00:01:42.39\00:01:48.74 And this shall be a sign unto you, 00:01:48.75\00:01:50.23 saith the Lord that I will punish you 00:01:50.24\00:01:51.63 in this place that ye may know 00:01:51.64\00:01:53.69 that my words shall surely stand against you for evil. 00:01:53.70\00:01:58.69 Thus saith the Lord behold, I will give Pharaohhophra 00:01:58.70\00:02:02.87 king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, 00:02:02.88\00:02:05.80 and into the hand of them that seek his life, 00:02:05.81\00:02:08.50 as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah 00:02:08.51\00:02:11.40 into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 00:02:11.41\00:02:13.18 king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life." 00:02:13.19\00:02:18.20 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 45, 00:02:18.21\00:02:21.13 this is the King James Version. 00:02:21.14\00:02:24.15 "The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch 00:02:24.16\00:02:28.03 the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book 00:02:28.04\00:02:31.80 at the mouth of Jeremiah, 00:02:31.81\00:02:33.23 in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 00:02:33.24\00:02:34.63 the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying. 00:02:34.64\00:02:37.42 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, 00:02:37.43\00:02:39.19 unto thee, O Baruch. 00:02:39.20\00:02:41.36 Thou did say, woe is me now, 00:02:41.37\00:02:43.42 for the Lord hath added grief to my sorrow, 00:02:43.43\00:02:46.13 I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 00:02:46.14\00:02:49.88 Thus shalt thou say unto him, the Lord saith thus, behold, 00:02:49.89\00:02:54.68 that which I have built will I break down, 00:02:54.69\00:02:57.98 and that which I have planted I will pluck up, 00:02:57.99\00:03:00.07 even this whole land. 00:03:00.08\00:03:01.82 And seekest thou great things for thyself? 00:03:01.83\00:03:05.61 For, Behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, 00:03:05.62\00:03:07.95 saith the Lord, but thy life will I give unto thee 00:03:07.96\00:03:11.20 for a pray in all places whither thou goest." 00:03:11.21\00:03:15.31 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 46, 00:03:15.32\00:03:18.00 this is the Kings James Version. 00:03:18.01\00:03:20.55 "The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah 00:03:20.56\00:03:22.93 the prophet against the Gentiles, 00:03:22.94\00:03:25.04 against Egypt, against the army 00:03:25.05\00:03:27.22 of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, 00:03:27.23\00:03:28.90 which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, 00:03:28.91\00:03:32.68 which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 00:03:32.69\00:03:34.73 smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 00:03:34.74\00:03:36.82 the son of Josiah king of Judah. 00:03:36.83\00:03:39.67 Order ye the buckler and shield, 00:03:39.68\00:03:41.86 and draw near to battle. 00:03:41.87\00:03:43.71 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, 00:03:43.72\00:03:46.11 and stand forth with your helmets, 00:03:46.12\00:03:48.26 furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines. 00:03:48.27\00:03:51.44 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed 00:03:51.45\00:03:53.35 and turned away back? 00:03:53.36\00:03:55.00 And their mighty ones are beaten down, 00:03:55.01\00:03:57.04 and are fled apace, and look not back, 00:03:57.05\00:03:59.85 for fear was round about, saith the Lord. 00:03:59.86\00:04:03.16 Let not the swift flee away, 00:04:03.17\00:04:05.40 nor the mighty man escape they shall stumble, 00:04:05.41\00:04:08.28 and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. 00:04:08.29\00:04:12.21 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, 00:04:12.22\00:04:14.36 whose waters are moved as the rivers? 00:04:14.37\00:04:17.07 Egypt riseth up like a flood, 00:04:17.08\00:04:18.93 and his waters are moved like the rivers, 00:04:18.94\00:04:20.46 and he saith I will go up, 00:04:20.47\00:04:22.01 and will cover the earth I will destroy the city 00:04:22.02\00:04:24.26 and the inhabitants thereof. 00:04:24.27\00:04:26.41 Come up, ye horses, and rage, ye chariots, 00:04:26.42\00:04:29.37 and let the mighty men come forth, 00:04:29.38\00:04:31.54 the Ethiopians and the Libyans, 00:04:31.55\00:04:33.74 that handle the shield, and the Lydians, 00:04:33.75\00:04:35.44 that handle and bend the bow. 00:04:35.45\00:04:37.99 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, 00:04:38.00\00:04:41.05 a day of vengeance, 00:04:41.06\00:04:42.41 that he may avenge him of his adversaries. 00:04:42.42\00:04:45.61 And the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate 00:04:45.62\00:04:48.62 and made drunk with their blood, 00:04:48.63\00:04:50.74 for the Lord God of hosts 00:04:50.75\00:04:52.47 hath a sacrifice in the north country 00:04:52.48\00:04:54.46 by the river Euphrates. 00:04:54.47\00:04:56.60 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, 00:04:56.61\00:04:59.25 the daughter of Egypt, 00:04:59.26\00:05:00.80 in vain shalt thou use many medicines, 00:05:00.81\00:05:03.84 for thou shalt not be cured. 00:05:03.85\00:05:06.03 The nations have heard of thy shame, 00:05:06.04\00:05:07.86 and thy cry hath filled the land, 00:05:07.87\00:05:10.21 for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, 00:05:10.22\00:05:12.76 and they are fallen both together. 00:05:12.77\00:05:16.03 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, 00:05:16.04\00:05:19.39 how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come 00:05:19.40\00:05:22.43 and smite the land of Egypt. 00:05:22.44\00:05:24.97 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, 00:05:24.98\00:05:27.41 and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes. 00:05:27.42\00:05:30.83 Say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee, 00:05:30.84\00:05:33.28 for the sword shall devour round about thee. 00:05:33.29\00:05:36.77 Why are thy valiant men swept away? 00:05:36.78\00:05:39.76 They stood not, because the Lord did drive them. 00:05:39.77\00:05:43.61 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another, 00:05:43.62\00:05:46.60 and they said, Arise, and let us go again 00:05:46.61\00:05:48.80 to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, 00:05:48.81\00:05:50.97 from the oppressing sword. 00:05:50.98\00:05:53.07 They did cry there, Pharaoh King of Egypt is but a noise, 00:05:53.08\00:05:57.39 he hath passed the time appointed. 00:05:57.40\00:06:00.87 As I live, saith the King, 00:06:00.88\00:06:03.64 whose name is the Lord of hosts, 00:06:03.65\00:06:05.88 Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, 00:06:05.89\00:06:08.50 and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 00:06:08.51\00:06:12.15 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, 00:06:12.16\00:06:14.93 furnish thyself to go into captivity, 00:06:14.94\00:06:18.04 for Noph shall be waste 00:06:18.05\00:06:19.58 and desolate without an inhabitant. 00:06:19.59\00:06:22.03 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, 00:06:22.04\00:06:24.80 but destruction cometh, it cometh out of the north. 00:06:24.81\00:06:29.13 Also her hired men are in the midst of her 00:06:29.14\00:06:31.24 like fatted bullocks, for they also are turned back, 00:06:31.25\00:06:34.05 and are fled away together, they did not stand, because 00:06:34.06\00:06:37.45 the day of their calamity was come upon them, 00:06:37.46\00:06:39.92 and the time of their visitation. 00:06:39.93\00:06:42.42 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent, 00:06:42.43\00:06:44.33 for they shall march with an army, 00:06:44.34\00:06:45.91 and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. 00:06:45.92\00:06:49.45 They shall cut down her forest, 00:06:49.46\00:06:50.79 saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched, 00:06:50.80\00:06:53.23 because they are more than the grasshoppers, 00:06:53.24\00:06:54.87 and are innumerable. 00:06:54.88\00:06:57.07 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded, 00:06:57.08\00:06:59.41 she shall be delivered 00:06:59.42\00:07:00.41 into the hand of the people of the north. 00:07:00.42\00:07:03.00 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, 00:07:03.01\00:07:05.03 saith, Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, 00:07:05.04\00:07:09.06 and Pharaoh, and Egypt, 00:07:09.07\00:07:10.73 with their gods, and their kings, 00:07:10.74\00:07:12.19 even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him. 00:07:12.20\00:07:15.14 And I will deliver them into the hand of those 00:07:15.15\00:07:17.43 that seek their lives, 00:07:17.44\00:07:19.16 and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 00:07:19.17\00:07:20.98 king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants, 00:07:20.99\00:07:23.37 and afterward it shall be inhabited, 00:07:23.38\00:07:26.05 as in the days of old, saith the Lord. 00:07:26.06\00:07:28.99 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, 00:07:29.00\00:07:32.09 and be not dismayed, O Israel, for, Behold, 00:07:32.10\00:07:34.54 I will save thee from afar off, 00:07:34.55\00:07:37.17 and thy seed from the land of their captivity, 00:07:37.18\00:07:40.01 and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, 00:07:40.02\00:07:44.85 and none shall make him afraid. 00:07:44.86\00:07:47.65 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, 00:07:47.66\00:07:50.15 saith the Lord, for I am with thee, 00:07:50.16\00:07:53.05 for I will make a full end of all the nations 00:07:53.06\00:07:56.08 whither I have driven thee, 00:07:56.09\00:07:57.28 but I will not make a full end of thee, 00:07:57.29\00:08:00.31 but correct thee in measure, 00:08:00.32\00:08:02.79 yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished." 00:08:02.80\00:08:07.26 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 47 00:08:07.27\00:08:09.57 and this is the Kings James Version. 00:08:09.58\00:08:12.86 "The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah 00:08:12.87\00:08:14.80 the prophet against the Philistines, 00:08:14.81\00:08:16.77 before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 00:08:16.78\00:08:19.65 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, 00:08:19.66\00:08:21.26 waters rise up out of the north, 00:08:21.27\00:08:23.20 and shall be an overflowing flood, 00:08:23.21\00:08:25.26 and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, 00:08:25.27\00:08:28.69 the city, and them that dwell therein, 00:08:28.70\00:08:31.97 then the men shall cry, 00:08:31.98\00:08:33.19 and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 00:08:33.20\00:08:35.78 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs 00:08:35.79\00:08:37.89 of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, 00:08:37.90\00:08:40.79 and at the rumbling of his wheels, 00:08:40.80\00:08:42.93 the fathers shall not look back 00:08:42.94\00:08:44.41 to their children for feebleness of hands. 00:08:44.42\00:08:47.47 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, 00:08:47.48\00:08:51.21 and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon 00:08:51.22\00:08:53.82 every helper that remaineth, 00:08:53.83\00:08:56.35 for the Lord will spoil the Philistines, 00:08:56.36\00:08:58.85 the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 00:08:58.86\00:09:02.16 Baldness is come upon Gaza, 00:09:02.17\00:09:05.01 Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley, 00:09:05.02\00:09:07.74 how long wilt thou cut thyself? 00:09:07.75\00:09:10.46 O thou sword of the Lord, 00:09:10.47\00:09:11.85 how long will it be ere thou be quiet? 00:09:11.86\00:09:15.25 Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 00:09:15.26\00:09:19.31 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord 00:09:19.32\00:09:21.48 hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, 00:09:21.49\00:09:23.64 and against the sea shore? 00:09:23.65\00:09:25.63 There hath he appointed it." 00:09:25.64\00:09:28.72 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 48 00:09:28.73\00:09:31.05 this is the Kings James Version. 00:09:31.06\00:09:34.32 "Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts, 00:09:34.33\00:09:36.52 the God of Israel, woe, unto Nebo for it is spoiled, 00:09:36.53\00:09:41.74 Kiriathaim is confounded and taken, 00:09:41.75\00:09:44.91 Misgab is confounded and dismayed. 00:09:44.92\00:09:48.08 There shall be no more praise of Moab, 00:09:48.09\00:09:50.97 in Heshbon they have devised evil against it, 00:09:50.98\00:09:53.60 come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. 00:09:53.61\00:09:56.88 Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen, 00:09:56.89\00:09:59.18 the sword shall pursue thee. 00:09:59.19\00:10:01.87 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, 00:10:01.88\00:10:05.00 spoiling and great destruction. 00:10:05.01\00:10:07.30 Moab is destroyed, her little ones 00:10:07.31\00:10:09.03 have caused a cry to be heard. 00:10:09.04\00:10:11.36 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up, 00:10:11.37\00:10:15.56 for in the going down of Horonaim 00:10:15.57\00:10:17.34 the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 00:10:17.35\00:10:20.48 Flee, save your lives, 00:10:20.49\00:10:21.84 and be like the heath in the wilderness. 00:10:21.85\00:10:24.86 For because thou hast trusted in thy works 00:10:24.87\00:10:28.17 and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, 00:10:28.18\00:10:32.35 and Chemosh shall go forth 00:10:32.36\00:10:33.62 into captivity with his priests 00:10:33.63\00:10:35.22 and his princes together. 00:10:35.23\00:10:37.47 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, 00:10:37.48\00:10:40.28 and no city shall escape, the valley also shall perish, 00:10:40.29\00:10:44.04 and the plain shall be destroyed, 00:10:44.05\00:10:45.64 as the Lord hath spoken. 00:10:45.65\00:10:48.26 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away, 00:10:48.27\00:10:51.32 for the cities thereof shall be desolate, 00:10:51.33\00:10:53.37 without any to dwell therein. 00:10:53.38\00:10:55.99 Cursed be he that doeth 00:10:56.00\00:10:57.41 the work of the Lord deceitfully, 00:10:57.42\00:10:59.49 and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. 00:10:59.50\00:11:03.69 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, 00:11:03.70\00:11:06.43 and he hath settled on his lees, 00:11:06.44\00:11:08.04 and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, 00:11:08.05\00:11:11.01 neither hath he gone into captivity, 00:11:11.02\00:11:13.76 therefore his taste remained in him, 00:11:13.77\00:11:15.52 and his scent is not changed. 00:11:15.53\00:11:18.94 Therefore, Behold, the days come, 00:11:18.95\00:11:20.38 saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, 00:11:20.39\00:11:24.63 that shall cause him to wander, 00:11:24.64\00:11:26.18 and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. 00:11:26.19\00:11:28.37 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, 00:11:28.38\00:11:31.08 as the house of Israel 00:11:31.09\00:11:32.67 was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. 00:11:32.68\00:11:36.12 How say ye, we are mighty and strong men for the war? 00:11:36.13\00:11:40.10 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, 00:11:40.11\00:11:43.21 and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, 00:11:43.22\00:11:45.76 saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts. 00:11:45.77\00:11:49.88 The calamity of Moab is near to come, 00:11:49.89\00:11:52.46 and his affliction hasteth fast. 00:11:52.47\00:11:55.82 All ye that are about him, bemoan him, 00:11:55.83\00:11:58.17 and all ye that know his name, say, 00:11:58.18\00:12:00.19 How is the strong staff broken, 00:12:00.20\00:12:02.50 and the beautiful rod. 00:12:02.51\00:12:04.69 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, 00:12:04.70\00:12:06.72 come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, 00:12:06.73\00:12:09.68 for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, 00:12:09.69\00:12:12.47 and he shall destroy thy strong holds. 00:12:12.48\00:12:16.11 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy, 00:12:16.12\00:12:20.76 ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, 00:12:20.77\00:12:23.24 and say, What is done? 00:12:23.25\00:12:25.64 Moab is confounded, for it is broken down, 00:12:25.65\00:12:29.37 howl and cry, tell ye it in Arnon, 00:12:29.38\00:12:33.66 that Moab is spoiled, 00:12:33.67\00:12:35.20 and judgment is come upon the plain country, 00:12:35.21\00:12:38.38 upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 00:12:38.39\00:12:43.09 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, 00:12:43.10\00:12:45.04 and upon Bethdiblathaim, and upon Kiriathaim, 00:12:45.05\00:12:49.38 and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, 00:12:49.39\00:12:52.41 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, 00:12:52.42\00:12:54.50 and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 00:12:54.51\00:12:58.23 The horn of Moab is cut off, 00:12:58.24\00:13:00.29 and his arm is broken, saith the Lord. 00:13:00.30\00:13:03.79 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself 00:13:03.80\00:13:07.20 against the Lord, Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, 00:13:07.21\00:13:11.04 and he also shall be in derision. 00:13:11.05\00:13:13.50 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? 00:13:13.51\00:13:16.07 Was he found among thieves? 00:13:16.08\00:13:18.44 For since thou spakest of him thou skippedst for joy. 00:13:18.45\00:13:22.94 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, 00:13:22.95\00:13:25.55 and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove 00:13:25.56\00:13:27.50 that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. 00:13:27.51\00:13:30.82 We have heard the pride of Moab, 00:13:30.83\00:13:33.31 he is exceeding proud his loftiness, 00:13:33.32\00:13:36.22 and his arrogancy, and his pride, 00:13:36.23\00:13:38.77 and the haughtiness of his heart. 00:13:38.78\00:13:41.04 I know his wrath, saith the Lord, 00:13:41.05\00:13:43.76 but it shall not be so, 00:13:43.77\00:13:45.53 his lies shall not so effect it. 00:13:45.54\00:13:48.71 Therefore will I howl for Moab, 00:13:48.72\00:13:50.86 and I will cry out for all Moab, 00:13:50.87\00:13:53.45 mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres. 00:13:53.46\00:13:57.55 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee 00:13:57.56\00:14:00.24 with the weeping of Jazer, 00:14:00.25\00:14:02.42 thy plants are gone over the sea, 00:14:02.43\00:14:04.01 they reach even to the sea of Jazer, 00:14:04.02\00:14:05.70 the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits 00:14:05.71\00:14:08.33 and upon thy vintage. 00:14:08.34\00:14:10.13 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, 00:14:10.14\00:14:13.92 and from the land of Moab, 00:14:13.93\00:14:15.68 and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses, 00:14:15.69\00:14:19.28 none shall tread with shouting, 00:14:19.29\00:14:21.22 their shouting shall be no shouting. 00:14:21.23\00:14:23.68 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, 00:14:23.69\00:14:26.16 and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, 00:14:26.17\00:14:29.07 from Zoar even unto Horonaim, 00:14:29.08\00:14:31.30 as an heifer of three years old, 00:14:31.31\00:14:33.85 for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate." 00:14:33.86\00:14:38.11 Please join me again next time 00:14:38.12\00:14:39.51 to read the word of God together. 00:14:39.52\00:14:40.85 Good bye. 00:14:40.86\00:14:42.60
