Hello and welcome, to
"His Words are Life. "
00:00:15.98\00:00:18.24
I'm Kelly Mowrer and today
00:00:18.25\00:00:19.25
we are going to be reading
00:00:19.26\00:00:20.35
together in the
Book of Jeremiah.
00:00:20.36\00:00:22.56
But let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:22.57\00:00:25.55
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:00:25.56\00:00:26.89
please be with us in
these next few minutes
00:00:26.90\00:00:30.05
as we hear your words.
00:00:30.06\00:00:32.17
May they give us encouragement.
00:00:32.18\00:00:34.16
May they give us strength.
00:00:34.17\00:00:36.11
May they teach us to
walk more closely with you.
00:00:36.12\00:00:38.93
We love you so much
00:00:38.94\00:00:40.03
and thank you
for loving us. Amen.
00:00:40.04\00:00:43.26
I'm reading in
Jeremiah Chapter 50
00:00:43.27\00:00:46.45
beginning with verse 27,
00:00:46.46\00:00:48.33
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:48.34\00:00:51.46
Slay all her bullocks,
00:00:51.47\00:00:53.19
let them go down to the
slaughter, woe unto them.
00:00:53.20\00:00:57.15
For their day is come,
the time of their visitation.
00:00:57.16\00:01:00.67
The voice of them that flee
00:01:00.68\00:01:02.37
and escape out of
the land of Babylon,
00:01:02.38\00:01:04.54
to declare in Zion
00:01:04.55\00:01:05.77
the vengeance of
the Lord our God,
00:01:05.78\00:01:07.43
the vengeance of his temple.
00:01:07.44\00:01:09.29
Call together the
archers against Babylon,
00:01:09.30\00:01:12.18
all ye that bend the bow,
camp against it round about,
00:01:12.19\00:01:15.65
let none thereof escape,
00:01:15.66\00:01:17.59
recompense her
according to her work,
00:01:17.60\00:01:19.69
according to all
that she hath done,
00:01:19.70\00:01:21.72
do unto her, for she hath
been proud against the Lord,
00:01:21.73\00:01:25.71
against the Holy One of Israel.
00:01:25.72\00:01:28.00
Therefore shall her
young men fall in the streets,
00:01:28.01\00:01:30.40
and all her men of war
shall be cut off in that day,
00:01:30.41\00:01:32.77
saith the Lord.
Behold, I am against thee,
00:01:32.78\00:01:36.82
O thou most proud,
saith the Lord God of hosts,
00:01:36.83\00:01:39.59
for thy day is come,
00:01:39.60\00:01:41.12
the time that I will visit thee.
00:01:41.13\00:01:43.54
And the most proud
shall stumble and fall,
00:01:43.55\00:01:45.49
and none shall raise him up,
00:01:45.50\00:01:46.52
and I will kindle
a fire in his cities,
00:01:46.53\00:01:48.28
and it shall devour
all round about him.
00:01:48.29\00:01:51.81
Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, the children of Israel
00:01:51.82\00:01:53.98
and the children of
Judah were oppressed together,
00:01:53.99\00:01:56.64
and all that took them
captives held them fast,
00:01:56.65\00:01:59.44
they refused to let them go.
00:01:59.45\00:02:00.98
Their redeemer is strong,
the Lord of hosts is his name,
00:02:02.03\00:02:06.25
he shall
thoroughly plead their cause,
00:02:06.26\00:02:08.26
that he may give
rest to the land,
00:02:08.27\00:02:10.26
and disquiet the
inhabitants of Babylon.
00:02:10.27\00:02:12.60
A sword is upon the
Chaldeans, saith the Lord,
00:02:13.68\00:02:16.00
and upon the
inhabitants of Babylon,
00:02:16.01\00:02:18.01
and upon her princes,
and upon her wise men.
00:02:18.02\00:02:20.83
A sword is upon the
liars, and they shall dote,
00:02:20.84\00:02:23.87
a sword is upon her mighty men,
00:02:23.88\00:02:26.31
and they shall be dismayed.
00:02:26.32\00:02:28.42
A sword is upon their
horses, and upon their chariots,
00:02:28.43\00:02:31.33
and upon all the mingled people
that are in the midst of her,
00:02:31.34\00:02:34.66
and they shall become as women,
00:02:34.67\00:02:37.02
a sword is upon her treasures,
and they shall be robbed.
00:02:37.03\00:02:40.67
A drought is upon her waters,
and they shall be dried up,
00:02:41.77\00:02:45.24
for it is the
land of graven images,
00:02:45.25\00:02:47.03
and they are mad
upon their idols.
00:02:47.04\00:02:49.66
Therefore the wild
beasts of the desert
00:02:49.67\00:02:52.00
with the wild beasts of
the islands shall dwell there,
00:02:52.01\00:02:55.04
and the owls
shall dwell therein,
00:02:55.05\00:02:57.11
and it shall be no
more inhabited forever,
00:02:57.12\00:03:00.59
neither shall it be dwelt in
from generation to generation.
00:03:00.60\00:03:04.25
As God overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah
00:03:05.42\00:03:08.21
and the neighbor cities thereof,
00:03:08.22\00:03:09.59
saith the Lord, so
shall no man abide there,
00:03:09.60\00:03:13.32
neither shall any
son of man dwell therein.
00:03:13.33\00:03:16.71
Behold, a people
shall come from the north,
00:03:16.72\00:03:19.23
and a great
nation, and many kings
00:03:19.24\00:03:21.57
shall be raised up from
the coasts of the earth.
00:03:21.58\00:03:24.48
They shall hold
the bow and the lance,
00:03:24.49\00:03:27.33
they are cruel, and
will not show mercy,
00:03:27.34\00:03:30.63
their voice shall
roar like the sea,
00:03:30.64\00:03:32.46
and they shall ride upon horses,
00:03:32.47\00:03:34.10
every one put in array,
like a man to the battle,
00:03:34.11\00:03:36.73
against thee, O
daughter of Babylon.
00:03:36.74\00:03:39.92
The king of Babylon hath
heard the report of them,
00:03:39.93\00:03:41.94
and his hands waxed feeble,
anguish took hold of him,
00:03:41.95\00:03:45.29
and pangs as of
a woman in travail.
00:03:45.30\00:03:48.05
Behold, he shall
come up like a lion
00:03:48.06\00:03:49.85
from the swelling of Jordan
00:03:49.86\00:03:51.51
unto the
habitation of the strong,
00:03:51.52\00:03:54.04
but I will make them
suddenly run away from her,
00:03:54.05\00:03:56.94
and who is a chosen man,
that I may appoint over her?
00:03:56.95\00:03:59.44
For who is like me?
00:03:59.45\00:04:00.89
And who will
appoint me the time?
00:04:00.90\00:04:02.47
And who is that shepherd
that will stand before me?
00:04:02.48\00:04:05.59
Therefore hear ye
the counsel of the Lord,
00:04:06.68\00:04:08.65
that he hath
taken against Babylon,
00:04:08.66\00:04:10.75
and his purposes,
that he hath purposed
00:04:10.76\00:04:13.09
against the land
of the Chaldeans.
00:04:13.10\00:04:15.42
Surely the least of the
flock shall draw them out,
00:04:15.43\00:04:18.03
surely he shall make their
habitation desolate with them.
00:04:18.04\00:04:21.53
At the noise of the taking
of Babylon the earth is moved,
00:04:21.54\00:04:25.07
and the cry is
heard among the nations.
00:04:25.08\00:04:27.94
Reading from Jeremiah Chapter 51
00:04:28.99\00:04:31.04
and this is the
King James Version.
00:04:31.05\00:04:32.61
Thus saith the Lord,
00:04:33.79\00:04:35.49
Behold, I will
raise up against Babylon,
00:04:35.50\00:04:38.60
and against them that
dwell in the midst of them
00:04:38.61\00:04:41.20
that rise up against
me, a destroying wind,
00:04:41.21\00:04:44.82
And will send
unto Babylon fanners,
00:04:44.83\00:04:47.26
that shall fan her,
and shall empty her land,
00:04:47.27\00:04:49.73
for in the day of
trouble they shall be
00:04:49.74\00:04:51.21
against her round about.
00:04:51.22\00:04:53.38
Against him that bendeth
let the archer bend his bow,
00:04:53.39\00:04:56.93
and against him that lifteth
himself up in his brigandine,
00:04:56.94\00:05:00.21
and spare ye not her young men,
00:05:00.22\00:05:01.74
destroy ye utterly all her host.
00:05:01.75\00:05:04.29
Thus the slain shall fall
in the land of the Chaldeans,
00:05:04.30\00:05:07.19
and they that are
thrust through in her streets.
00:05:07.20\00:05:11.09
For Israel hath
not been forsaken,
00:05:11.10\00:05:13.23
nor Judah of his
God, of the Lord of hosts,
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.97
though their land
was filled with sin
00:05:16.98\00:05:18.65
against the Holy One of Israel.
00:05:18.66\00:05:20.96
Flee out of the
midst of Babylon,
00:05:20.97\00:05:22.56
and deliver every man his soul,
00:05:22.57\00:05:24.93
be not cut off in her iniquity,
00:05:24.94\00:05:26.57
for this is the time
of the Lord's vengeance,
00:05:26.58\00:05:29.29
he will render
unto her a recompense.
00:05:29.30\00:05:33.11
Babylon hath been a
golden cup in the Lord's hand,
00:05:33.12\00:05:36.06
that made all the earth drunken,
00:05:36.07\00:05:38.17
the nations have
drunken of her wine,
00:05:38.18\00:05:40.40
therefore the nations are mad.
00:05:40.41\00:05:42.63
Babylon is suddenly
fallen and destroyed,
00:05:42.64\00:05:46.72
howl for her,
take balm for her pain,
00:05:46.73\00:05:50.06
if so be she may be healed.
00:05:50.07\00:05:52.92
We would have healed Babylon,
00:05:52.93\00:05:54.20
but she is not
healed, forsake her,
00:05:54.21\00:05:56.78
and let us go every
one into his own country,
00:05:56.79\00:05:59.49
for her judgment
reacheth unto heaven,
00:05:59.50\00:06:01.22
and is lifted up
even to the skies.
00:06:01.23\00:06:03.92
The Lord hath brought
forth our righteousness,
00:06:03.93\00:06:06.79
come, and let us declare in Zion
00:06:06.80\00:06:08.91
the work of the Lord our God.
00:06:08.92\00:06:11.63
Make bright the
arrows, gather the shields,
00:06:11.64\00:06:14.03
the Lord hath raised up
00:06:14.04\00:06:15.09
the spirit of the
kings of the Medes,
00:06:15.10\00:06:17.13
for his device is
against Babylon, to destroy it,
00:06:17.14\00:06:20.85
because it is the
vengeance of the Lord,
00:06:20.86\00:06:22.56
the vengeance of his temple.
00:06:22.57\00:06:24.56
Set up the standard
upon the walls of Babylon,
00:06:24.57\00:06:27.55
make the watch strong,
00:06:27.56\00:06:29.20
set up the watchmen,
prepare the ambushes,
00:06:29.21\00:06:31.49
for the Lord hath both devised
00:06:31.50\00:06:33.51
and done that which he spake
00:06:33.52\00:06:35.26
against the
inhabitants of Babylon.
00:06:35.27\00:06:37.87
O thou that
dwellest upon many waters,
00:06:37.88\00:06:40.36
abundant in
treasures, thine end is come,
00:06:40.37\00:06:44.05
and the measure
of thy covetousness.
00:06:44.06\00:06:46.73
The Lord of hosts
hath sworn by himself,
00:06:46.74\00:06:48.93
saying, surely I will fill thee
with men, as with caterpillars,
00:06:48.94\00:06:52.67
and they shall lift
up a shout against thee.
00:06:52.68\00:06:55.39
He hath made the
earth by his power,
00:06:55.40\00:06:57.29
he hath established
the world by his wisdom,
00:06:57.30\00:07:00.09
and hath stretched out the
heave by his understanding.
00:07:00.10\00:07:03.12
When he uttereth his voice,
00:07:03.13\00:07:04.29
there is a multitude
of waters in the heavens,
00:07:04.30\00:07:07.20
and he causeth the vapours
00:07:07.21\00:07:08.64
to ascend from
the ends of the earth,
00:07:08.65\00:07:10.97
he maketh lightnings with rain,
00:07:10.98\00:07:13.09
and bringeth forth the
wind out of his treasures.
00:07:13.10\00:07:16.78
Every man is
brutish by his knowledge,
00:07:16.79\00:07:19.75
every founder is
confounded by the graven image,
00:07:19.76\00:07:23.44
for his molten
image is falsehood,
00:07:23.45\00:07:26.11
and there is no breath in them.
00:07:26.12\00:07:28.43
They are vanity,
the work of errors,
00:07:28.44\00:07:31.68
in the time of their
visitation they shall perish.
00:07:31.69\00:07:35.54
The portion of
Jacob is not like them,
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.27
for he is the
former of all things,
00:07:38.28\00:07:40.41
and Israel is the
rod of his inheritance,
00:07:40.42\00:07:42.66
the Lord of hosts is his name.
00:07:42.67\00:07:46.22
Thou art my battle
ax and weapons of war,
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.97
for with thee will I
break in pieces the nations,
00:07:48.98\00:07:51.43
and with thee will
I destroy kingdoms,
00:07:51.44\00:07:54.10
And with thee
will I break in pieces
00:07:54.11\00:07:55.88
the horse and his rider,
00:07:55.89\00:07:57.90
and with thee
will I break in pieces
00:07:57.91\00:07:59.54
the chariot and his rider,
00:07:59.55\00:08:02.31
With thee also
will I break in pieces
00:08:02.32\00:08:04.25
man and woman, and with thee
00:08:04.26\00:08:05.54
will I break in
pieces old and young,
00:08:05.55\00:08:07.20
and with thee
will I break in pieces
00:08:07.21\00:08:08.67
the young man and the maid,
00:08:08.68\00:08:10.33
I will also break in pieces
00:08:10.34\00:08:11.65
with thee the
shepherd and his flock,
00:08:11.66\00:08:13.81
and with thee
will I break in pieces
00:08:13.82\00:08:15.61
the husbandman
and his yoke of oxen,
00:08:15.62\00:08:17.89
and with thee
will I break in pieces
00:08:17.90\00:08:19.51
captains and rulers.
00:08:19.52\00:08:21.91
And I will render unto Babylon
00:08:21.92\00:08:23.68
and to all the inhabitants
of Chaldea all their evil
00:08:23.69\00:08:27.48
that they have done in Zion
in your sight, saith the Lord.
00:08:27.49\00:08:30.89
Behold, I am against thee,
00:08:32.26\00:08:33.74
O destroying
mountain, saith the Lord,
00:08:33.75\00:08:36.61
which destroyest all the earth,
00:08:36.62\00:08:38.68
and I will stretch
out mine hand upon thee,
00:08:38.69\00:08:40.80
and roll thee
down from the rocks,
00:08:40.81\00:08:43.31
and will make
thee a burnt mountain.
00:08:43.32\00:08:45.93
And they shall not take
of thee a stone for a corner,
00:08:45.94\00:08:48.95
nor a stone for foundations,
00:08:48.96\00:08:51.15
but thou shalt be desolate
forever, saith the Lord.
00:08:51.16\00:08:55.69
Set ye up a
standard in the land,
00:08:55.70\00:08:57.72
blow the trumpet
among the nations,
00:08:57.73\00:08:59.37
prepare the nations against her,
00:08:59.38\00:09:01.30
call together
against her the kingdoms
00:09:01.31\00:09:03.56
of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz,
00:09:03.57\00:09:07.38
appoint a captain against her,
00:09:07.39\00:09:08.83
cause the horses to come
up as the rough caterpillars.
00:09:08.84\00:09:11.78
Prepare against her the nations
00:09:11.79\00:09:13.11
with the kings of the Medes,
00:09:13.12\00:09:14.92
the captains thereof,
and all the rulers thereof,
00:09:14.93\00:09:17.32
and all the
land of his dominion.
00:09:17.33\00:09:20.10
And the land shall
tremble and sorrow,
00:09:20.11\00:09:23.24
for every purpose of the Lord
00:09:23.25\00:09:25.15
shall be
performed against Babylon,
00:09:25.16\00:09:27.66
to make the land of Babylon
00:09:27.67\00:09:29.24
a desolation
without an inhabitant.
00:09:29.25\00:09:32.52
The mighty men of
Babylon have forborne to fight,
00:09:32.53\00:09:35.75
they have
remained in their holds,
00:09:35.76\00:09:37.73
their might hath
failed, they became as women,
00:09:37.74\00:09:40.81
they have burned
her dwelling places,
00:09:40.82\00:09:42.52
her bars are broken.
00:09:42.53\00:09:44.76
One post shall
run to meet another,
00:09:44.77\00:09:47.42
and one
messenger to meet another,
00:09:47.43\00:09:49.18
to show the king of Babylon
00:09:49.19\00:09:50.74
that his city is
taken at one end,
00:09:50.75\00:09:53.36
and that the
passages are stopped,
00:09:53.37\00:09:55.24
and the reeds they
have burned with fire,
00:09:55.25\00:09:57.75
and the men of
war are affrighted.
00:09:57.76\00:10:00.83
For thus saith
the Lord of hosts,
00:10:00.84\00:10:02.34
the God of Israel,
00:10:02.35\00:10:03.59
the daughter of Babylon
is like a threshing floor,
00:10:03.60\00:10:06.63
it is time to thresh
her, yet a little while,
00:10:06.64\00:10:09.49
and the time of
her harvest shall come.
00:10:09.50\00:10:11.18
Nebuchadrezzar
the king of Babylon
00:10:12.53\00:10:14.49
hath devoured me,
he hath crushed me,
00:10:14.50\00:10:17.58
he hath made me an empty vessel,
00:10:17.59\00:10:20.36
he hath swallowed
me up like a dragon,
00:10:20.37\00:10:22.26
he hath filled his
belly with my delicates,
00:10:22.27\00:10:24.18
he hath cast me out.
00:10:24.19\00:10:25.72
The violence done to me
00:10:27.30\00:10:28.70
and to my flesh be upon Babylon,
00:10:28.71\00:10:31.22
shall the
inhabitant of Zion say,
00:10:31.23\00:10:33.41
and my blood upon the
inhabitants of Chaldea,
00:10:33.42\00:10:36.11
shall Jerusalem say.
00:10:36.12\00:10:38.14
Therefore thus saith the Lord,
00:10:38.15\00:10:39.58
Behold, I will plead thy cause,
00:10:39.59\00:10:41.72
and take vengeance for thee,
00:10:41.73\00:10:44.15
and I will dry up her
sea, and make her springs dry.
00:10:44.16\00:10:47.82
And Babylon shall become heaps,
00:10:47.83\00:10:50.01
a dwelling place for dragons,
00:10:50.02\00:10:51.63
an astonishment, and an hissing,
00:10:51.64\00:10:53.45
without an inhabitant.
00:10:53.46\00:10:55.22
They shall roar
together like lions,
00:10:55.23\00:10:56.93
they shall yell
as lions' whelps.
00:10:56.94\00:10:59.86
In their heat I
will make their feasts,
00:10:59.87\00:11:01.78
and I will make them drunken,
00:11:01.79\00:11:03.61
that they may rejoice,
and sleep a perpetual sleep,
00:11:03.62\00:11:06.13
and not wake, saith the Lord.
00:11:06.14\00:11:08.59
I will bring them down
like lambs to the slaughter,
00:11:08.60\00:11:11.37
like rams with he
goats. How is Sheshach taken?
00:11:11.38\00:11:15.98
And how is the praise of
the whole earth surprised?
00:11:15.99\00:11:18.96
How is Babylon
become an astonishment
00:11:18.97\00:11:21.34
among the nations?
00:11:21.35\00:11:22.93
The sea is come up upon Babylon,
00:11:22.94\00:11:24.76
she is covered with the
multitude of the waves thereof.
00:11:24.77\00:11:27.88
Her cities are a desolation,
a dry land, and a wilderness,
00:11:27.89\00:11:32.36
a land wherein no man dwelleth,
00:11:32.37\00:11:34.42
neither doth any
son of man pass thereby.
00:11:34.43\00:11:37.33
And I will
punish Bel in Babylon,
00:11:38.48\00:11:41.03
and I will bring
forth out of his mouth
00:11:41.04\00:11:42.96
that which he hath swallowed up,
00:11:42.97\00:11:44.57
and the nations shall not
flow together any more unto him,
00:11:44.58\00:11:47.86
yea, the wall of
Babylon shall fall.
00:11:47.87\00:11:51.19
My people, go ye
out of the midst of her,
00:11:51.20\00:11:53.14
and deliver ye
every man his soul
00:11:53.15\00:11:54.98
from the fierce
anger of the Lord.
00:11:54.99\00:11:57.55
And lest your heart
faint, and ye fear for the rumor
00:11:57.56\00:12:00.46
that shall be heard in the land,
00:12:00.47\00:12:01.68
a rumor shall
both come one year,
00:12:01.69\00:12:03.84
and after that in
another year shall come a rumor,
00:12:03.85\00:12:05.92
and violence in the
land, ruler against ruler.
00:12:05.93\00:12:09.41
Therefore,
behold, the days come,
00:12:09.42\00:12:10.96
that I will do judgment upon
the graven images of Babylon,
00:12:10.97\00:12:14.94
and her whole land
shall be confounded,
00:12:14.95\00:12:16.96
and all her slain shall
fall in the midst of her.
00:12:16.97\00:12:20.81
Then the heaven and the earth,
00:12:20.82\00:12:21.82
and all that is
therein, shall sing for Babylon,
00:12:21.83\00:12:24.19
for the spoilers shall
come unto her from the north,
00:12:24.20\00:12:26.46
saith the Lord.
00:12:26.47\00:12:28.06
As Babylon hath caused
the slain of Israel to fall,
00:12:28.07\00:12:31.32
so at Babylon shall fall
the slain of all the earth.
00:12:31.33\00:12:35.99
Ye that have
escaped the sword, go away,
00:12:36.00\00:12:38.02
stand not still,
remember the Lord afar off,
00:12:38.03\00:12:41.04
and let Jerusalem
come into your mind.
00:12:41.05\00:12:43.57
We are confounded,
because we have heard reproach,
00:12:43.58\00:12:46.74
shame hath covered our
faces, for strangers are come
00:12:46.75\00:12:50.06
into the
sanctuaries of the Lord's house.
00:12:50.07\00:12:52.85
Wherefore, behold, the
days come, saith the Lord,
00:12:52.86\00:12:55.77
that I will do
judgment upon her graven images,
00:12:55.78\00:12:58.85
and through all her
land the wounded shall groan.
00:12:58.86\00:13:02.87
Though Babylon
should mount up to heaven,
00:13:02.88\00:13:05.76
and though she should fortify
the height of her strength,
00:13:05.77\00:13:08.82
yet from me shall spoilers
come unto her, saith the Lord.
00:13:08.83\00:13:13.90
A sound of a cry
cometh from Babylon,
00:13:13.91\00:13:16.51
and great destruction
from the land of the Chaldeans
00:13:16.52\00:13:19.99
because the LORD
hath spoiled Babylon,
00:13:20.00\00:13:21.65
and destroyed out
of her the great voice,
00:13:21.66\00:13:23.86
when her waves do
roar like great waters,
00:13:23.87\00:13:26.18
a noise of their
voice is uttered.
00:13:26.19\00:13:28.66
Because the
spoiler is come upon her,
00:13:28.67\00:13:30.56
even upon Babylon, and
her mighty men are taken,
00:13:30.57\00:13:33.60
every one of
their bows is broken,
00:13:33.61\00:13:36.11
for the Lord God of recompenses
00:13:36.12\00:13:38.21
shall surely requite.
00:13:38.22\00:13:40.88
And I will make
drunk her princes,
00:13:40.89\00:13:42.65
and her wise men, her
captains, and her rulers,
00:13:42.66\00:13:45.33
and her mighty men,
00:13:45.34\00:13:46.67
and they shall
sleep a perpetual sleep,
00:13:46.68\00:13:48.82
and not wake, saith the King,
00:13:48.83\00:13:50.81
whose name is the Lord of hosts.
00:13:50.82\00:13:52.98
Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
00:13:52.99\00:13:54.49
the broad walls of
Babylon shall be utterly broken,
00:13:54.50\00:13:58.11
and her high gates
shall be burned with fire,
00:13:58.12\00:14:00.53
and the people
shall labor in vain,
00:14:00.54\00:14:02.95
and the folk in the
fire, and they shall be weary.
00:14:02.96\00:14:06.54
The word which
Jeremiah the prophet commanded
00:14:06.55\00:14:09.39
Seraiah the son of
Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
00:14:09.40\00:14:12.57
when he went with
Zedekiah the king of Judah
00:14:12.58\00:14:14.74
into Babylon in the
fourth year of his reign.
00:14:14.75\00:14:17.50
And this Seraiah
was a quiet prince.
00:14:17.51\00:14:20.68
So Jeremiah wrote
in a book all the evil
00:14:20.69\00:14:23.08
that should come upon
Babylon, even all these words
00:14:23.09\00:14:26.91
that are
written against Babylon.
00:14:26.92\00:14:29.28
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah,
when thou comest to Babylon,
00:14:29.29\00:14:32.51
and shalt see, and
shalt read all these words,
00:14:32.52\00:14:36.07
Then shalt thou say,
00:14:36.08\00:14:37.22
O Lord, thou hast
spoken against this place.
00:14:37.23\00:14:41.08
