Hello and welcome to
"His Words Are Life."
00:00:15.07\00:00:17.46
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank you
00:00:17.47\00:00:19.28
for joining with me today
00:00:19.29\00:00:20.58
to read the
word of God together.
00:00:20.59\00:00:22.54
Before we start, let's pray.
00:00:22.55\00:00:25.23
Dear heavenly Father,
thank you for an opportunity
00:00:25.24\00:00:27.99
to sit and to read Your words.
00:00:28.00\00:00:30.69
Please send Your Holy
Spirit to open our hearts
00:00:30.70\00:00:33.64
to understand and know You more,
00:00:33.65\00:00:35.21
because of what we read today.
00:00:35.22\00:00:36.59
We love You so much
00:00:36.60\00:00:37.88
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:37.89\00:00:41.01
When we were last together,
we were reading in Ezekiel
00:00:41.02\00:00:44.22
and the heading in my
Bible calls this chapter
00:00:44.23\00:00:48.08
"A call for
repentance" The word of the Lord
00:00:48.09\00:00:50.42
is speaking through Ezekiel.
00:00:50.43\00:00:52.89
We are starting in
Chapter 14 and verse 17,
00:00:52.90\00:00:56.28
this is the King James Version.
00:00:56.29\00:00:58.75
"Or if I bring a sword
upon that land, and say,
00:00:58.76\00:01:02.22
Sword, go through the
land, so that I cut off man
00:01:02.23\00:01:06.46
and beast from it, Though
these three men were in it,
00:01:06.47\00:01:09.58
as I live, saith the Lord God,
00:01:09.59\00:01:11.30
they shall deliver
neither sons nor daughters,
00:01:11.31\00:01:13.48
but they only shall
be delivered themselves.
00:01:13.49\00:01:17.17
Or if I send a
pestilence into that land,
00:01:17.18\00:01:19.56
and pour out my
fury upon it in blood,
00:01:19.57\00:01:22.77
to cut off from
it man and beast,
00:01:22.78\00:01:24.98
Though Noah,
Daniel, and Job were in it,
00:01:24.99\00:01:29.23
as I live, saith the Lord God,
00:01:29.24\00:01:30.98
they shall deliver
neither son nor daughter,
00:01:30.99\00:01:34.16
they shall but
deliver their own souls
00:01:34.17\00:01:36.70
by their righteousness.
00:01:36.71\00:01:38.46
For thus saith the
Lord God, How much more
00:01:38.47\00:01:42.53
when I send my
four sore judgments
00:01:42.54\00:01:45.36
upon Jerusalem, the sword,
00:01:45.37\00:01:48.00
and the famine,
and the noisome beast,
00:01:48.01\00:01:50.57
and the pestilence, to
cut off from it man and beast?
00:01:50.58\00:01:55.29
Yet, behold, therein
shall be left a remnant
00:01:55.30\00:01:58.35
that shall be brought
forth, both sons and daughters,
00:01:58.36\00:02:01.99
behold, they shall
come forth unto you,
00:02:02.00\00:02:03.86
and ye shall see
their way and their doings,
00:02:03.87\00:02:06.74
and ye shall be
comforted concerning the evil
00:02:06.75\00:02:09.18
that I have
brought upon Jerusalem,
00:02:09.19\00:02:10.98
even concerning all
that I have brought upon it.
00:02:10.99\00:02:15.03
And they shall comfort
you, when ye see their ways
00:02:15.04\00:02:18.44
and their
doings, and ye shall know
00:02:18.45\00:02:20.74
that I have not
done without cause
00:02:20.75\00:02:23.17
all that I have done in
it, saith the Lord God."
00:02:23.18\00:02:27.25
Continuing with
Ezekiel Chapter 15
00:02:27.26\00:02:29.76
and this is the
King James Version.
00:02:29.77\00:02:32.97
"And the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Son of man,
00:02:32.98\00:02:36.85
what is the vine
tree more than any tree,
00:02:36.86\00:02:40.26
or than a branch which is
among the trees of the forest?
00:02:40.27\00:02:43.96
Shall wood be taken
thereof to do any work?
00:02:43.97\00:02:47.04
Or will men take a pin of
it to hang any vessel thereon?
00:02:47.05\00:02:50.57
Behold, it is cast
into the fire for fuel,
00:02:50.58\00:02:53.20
the fire devoureth
both the ends of it,
00:02:53.21\00:02:55.77
and the midst of it is burned.
00:02:55.78\00:02:57.50
Is it meet for any work?
00:02:57.51\00:02:59.77
Behold, when it was
whole, it was meet for no work,
00:02:59.78\00:03:03.22
how much less shall it
be meet yet for any work,
00:03:03.23\00:03:06.06
when the fire hath
devoured it, and it is burned?
00:03:06.07\00:03:09.85
Therefore thus
saith the Lord God,
00:03:09.86\00:03:12.17
as the vine tree among
the trees of the forest,
00:03:12.18\00:03:15.59
which I have given
to the fire for fuel,
00:03:15.60\00:03:19.14
so will I give the
inhabitants of Jerusalem.
00:03:19.15\00:03:22.70
And I will set my
face against them,
00:03:22.71\00:03:24.91
they shall go out from one fire,
00:03:24.92\00:03:26.67
and another fire
shall devour them,
00:03:26.68\00:03:28.57
and ye shall know
that I am the Lord,
00:03:28.58\00:03:31.82
when I set my face against them.
00:03:31.83\00:03:34.52
And I will make
the land desolate,
00:03:34.53\00:03:36.41
because they have
committed a trespass,
00:03:36.42\00:03:38.91
saith the Lord God."
00:03:38.92\00:03:41.57
Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 16
00:03:41.58\00:03:44.59
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:44.60\00:03:46.49
"Again the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:03:46.50\00:03:48.96
Son of man, cause Jerusalem
to know her abominations,
00:03:48.97\00:03:53.30
And say, Thus saith the
Lord God unto Jerusalem,
00:03:53.31\00:03:57.35
Thy birth and thy nativity
is of the land of Canaan,
00:03:57.36\00:04:01.43
thy father was an Amorite,
and thy mother an Hittite.
00:04:01.44\00:04:05.55
And as for thy nativity,
in the day thou wast born
00:04:05.56\00:04:09.29
thy navel was not cut, neither
wast thou washed in water
00:04:09.30\00:04:13.24
to supple thee, thou
wast not salted at all,
00:04:13.25\00:04:16.51
nor swaddled at all.
00:04:16.52\00:04:18.53
None eye pitied thee, to
do any of these unto thee,
00:04:18.54\00:04:22.10
to have compassion upon
thee, but thou wast cast out
00:04:22.11\00:04:27.03
in the open field, to
the lothing of thy person,
00:04:27.04\00:04:30.83
in the day that thou wast born.
00:04:30.84\00:04:34.22
And when I passed by
thee, and saw thee polluted
00:04:34.23\00:04:38.78
in thine own blood,
00:04:38.79\00:04:40.47
I said unto thee when
thou wast in thy blood, live,
00:04:40.48\00:04:46.34
yea, I said unto thee when
thou wast in thy blood, Live.
00:04:46.35\00:04:51.81
I have caused thee to multiply
as the bud of the field,
00:04:51.82\00:04:55.61
and thou hast
increased and waxen great
00:04:55.62\00:04:59.21
and thou art come
to excellent ornaments,
00:04:59.22\00:05:01.97
thy breasts are fashioned,
and thine hair is grown,
00:05:01.98\00:05:05.24
whereas thou
wast naked and bare.
00:05:05.25\00:05:08.62
Now when I passed by
thee, and looked upon thee,
00:05:08.63\00:05:12.48
behold, thy time
was the time of love,
00:05:12.49\00:05:16.03
and I spread my skirt over thee,
00:05:16.04\00:05:17.97
and covered thy nakedness, yea,
00:05:17.98\00:05:19.93
I sware unto thee, and entered
into a covenant with thee,
00:05:19.94\00:05:23.65
saith the Lord God,
and thou becamest mine.
00:05:23.66\00:05:28.14
Then washed I
thee with water, yea,
00:05:28.15\00:05:30.20
I throughly washed
away thy blood from thee,
00:05:30.21\00:05:33.46
and I anointed thee with oil.
00:05:33.47\00:05:36.25
I clothed thee also
with broidered work,
00:05:36.26\00:05:39.64
and shod thee
with badgers' skin,
00:05:39.65\00:05:41.33
and I girded thee
about with fine linen,
00:05:41.34\00:05:44.38
and I covered thee with silk.
00:05:44.39\00:05:46.54
I decked thee
also with ornaments,
00:05:46.55\00:05:48.66
and I put
bracelets upon thy hands,
00:05:48.67\00:05:50.70
and a chain on thy neck.
00:05:50.71\00:05:52.70
And I put a
jewel on thy forehead,
00:05:52.71\00:05:54.53
and earrings in thine ears,
00:05:54.54\00:05:56.32
and a beautiful
crown upon thine head.
00:05:56.33\00:06:00.41
Thus wast thou
decked with gold and silver,
00:06:00.42\00:06:03.78
and thy raiment was
of fine linen, and silk,
00:06:03.79\00:06:06.98
and broidered work, thou
didst eat fine flour, and honey,
00:06:06.99\00:06:11.22
and oil, and thou
wast exceeding beautiful,
00:06:11.23\00:06:14.34
and thou didst
prosper into a kingdom.
00:06:14.35\00:06:17.97
And thy renown went
forth among the heathen
00:06:17.98\00:06:20.68
for thy beauty,
for it was perfect
00:06:20.69\00:06:23.95
through my comeliness,
which I had put upon thee,
00:06:23.96\00:06:27.90
saith the Lord God.
00:06:27.91\00:06:30.50
But thou didst
trust in thine own beauty
00:06:30.51\00:06:35.17
and playedst the
harlot because of thy renown,
00:06:35.18\00:06:38.22
and pouredst
out thy fornications
00:06:38.23\00:06:40.17
on every one that
passed by, his it was.
00:06:40.18\00:06:43.59
And of thy
garments thou didst take,
00:06:43.60\00:06:45.62
and deckedst thy high
places with divers colours,
00:06:45.63\00:06:48.86
and playedst the
harlot thereupon,
00:06:48.87\00:06:51.18
the like things shall not
come, neither shall it be so.
00:06:51.19\00:06:55.70
Thou hast also taken
thy fair jewels of my gold
00:06:55.71\00:06:59.23
and of my silver,
which I had given thee,
00:06:59.24\00:07:02.10
and madest to
thyself images of men,
00:07:02.11\00:07:05.37
and didst commit
whoredom with them,
00:07:05.38\00:07:07.71
And tookest thy broidered
garments, and coveredst them,
00:07:07.72\00:07:12.04
and thou hast set mine oil
and mine incense before them.
00:07:12.05\00:07:15.66
My meat also which I gave
thee, fine flour, and oil,
00:07:15.67\00:07:18.83
and honey, wherewith I fed thee,
00:07:18.84\00:07:20.79
thou hast even set it
before them for a sweet savour,
00:07:20.80\00:07:24.06
and thus it was,
saith the Lord God.
00:07:24.07\00:07:27.83
Moreover thou hast taken
thy sons and thy daughters,
00:07:27.84\00:07:32.24
whom thou hast borne unto me,
and these hast thou sacrificed
00:07:32.25\00:07:37.34
unto them to be devoured.
00:07:37.35\00:07:39.71
Is this of thy
whoredoms a small matter,
00:07:39.72\00:07:42.54
that thou hast
slain my children,
00:07:42.55\00:07:44.53
and delivered them to cause them
00:07:44.54\00:07:46.62
to pass through
the fire for them?
00:07:46.63\00:07:49.41
And in all thine
abominations and thy whoredoms
00:07:49.42\00:07:52.11
thou hast not remembered
the days of thy youth,
00:07:52.12\00:07:55.16
when thou wast naked and bare,
00:07:55.17\00:07:57.21
and wast polluted in thy blood.
00:07:57.22\00:07:59.66
And it came to pass
after all thy wickedness,
00:07:59.67\00:08:03.08
woe, woe unto thee!
00:08:03.09\00:08:05.11
saith the Lord God,
that thou hast also built
00:08:05.12\00:08:08.43
unto thee an eminent place,
00:08:08.44\00:08:11.22
and hast made thee an
high place in every street.
00:08:11.23\00:08:14.75
Thou hast built thy high
place at every head of the way,
00:08:14.76\00:08:17.53
and hast made thy
beauty to be abhorred,
00:08:17.54\00:08:19.85
and hast opened thy feet
to everyone that passed by,
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.33
and multiplied thy whoredoms.
00:08:22.34\00:08:24.66
Thou hast also committed
fornication with the Egyptians
00:08:24.67\00:08:27.98
thy neighbors, great of flesh,
00:08:27.99\00:08:31.04
and hast
increased thy whoredoms,
00:08:31.05\00:08:32.84
to provoke me to anger.
00:08:32.85\00:08:35.23
Behold, therefore
I have stretched out
00:08:35.24\00:08:38.45
my hand over thee, and have
diminished thine ordinary food,
00:08:38.46\00:08:42.36
and delivered thee unto the
will of them that hate thee,
00:08:42.37\00:08:46.11
the daughters
of the Philistines,
00:08:46.12\00:08:48.45
which are
ashamed of thy lewd way.
00:08:48.46\00:08:51.02
Thou hast played the
whore also with the Assyrians,
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.11
because thou wast unsatiable,
00:08:54.12\00:08:55.98
yea, thou hast
played the harlot with them,
00:08:55.99\00:08:57.94
and yet couldest
not be satisfied.
00:08:57.95\00:09:01.78
Thou hast moreover
multiplied thy fornication
00:09:01.79\00:09:04.24
in the land of
Canaan unto Chaldea,
00:09:04.25\00:09:06.56
and yet thou wast
not satisfied therewith.
00:09:06.57\00:09:09.56
How weak is thine
heart, saith the Lord God,
00:09:09.57\00:09:12.83
seeing thou
doest all these things,
00:09:12.84\00:09:15.39
the work of an
imperious whorish woman,
00:09:15.40\00:09:18.97
In that thou
buildest thine eminent place
00:09:18.98\00:09:21.95
in the head of every way,
and makest thine high place
00:09:21.96\00:09:25.40
in every street, and
hast not been as an harlot,
00:09:25.41\00:09:29.11
in that thou
scornest hire, But as a wife
00:09:29.12\00:09:33.00
that committeth
adultery, which taketh strangers
00:09:33.01\00:09:37.40
instead of her husband!
00:09:37.41\00:09:39.82
They give gifts to all whores,
but thou givest thy gifts
00:09:39.83\00:09:43.50
to all thy
lovers, and hirest them,
00:09:43.51\00:09:45.85
that they may come unto thee
00:09:45.86\00:09:47.08
on every side for thy whoredom.
00:09:47.09\00:09:49.21
And the contrary is
in thee from other women
00:09:49.22\00:09:51.67
in thy whoredoms,
whereas none followeth thee
00:09:51.68\00:09:53.83
to commit whoredoms,
and in that thou givest
00:09:53.84\00:09:56.73
a reward, and no
reward is given unto thee,
00:09:56.74\00:10:00.49
therefore thou art contrary.
00:10:00.50\00:10:03.03
Wherefore, O harlot,
hear the word of the Lord,
00:10:03.04\00:10:05.86
Thus saith the Lord
God, Because thy filthiness
00:10:05.87\00:10:10.20
was poured out, and
thy nakedness discovered
00:10:10.21\00:10:14.00
through thy
whoredoms with thy lovers,
00:10:14.01\00:10:15.97
and with all the
idols of thy abominations,
00:10:15.98\00:10:18.50
and by the
blood of thy children,
00:10:18.51\00:10:20.39
which thou didst give unto them,
00:10:20.40\00:10:22.24
Behold, therefore I
will gather all thy lovers,
00:10:22.25\00:10:26.44
with whom thou
hast taken pleasure,
00:10:26.45\00:10:28.82
and all them
that thou hast loved,
00:10:28.83\00:10:31.41
with all them
that thou hast hated,
00:10:31.42\00:10:33.66
I will even gather them
round about against thee,
00:10:33.67\00:10:37.08
and will discover
thy nakedness unto them,
00:10:37.09\00:10:39.51
that they may see
all thy nakedness.
00:10:39.52\00:10:42.04
And I will judge thee,
as women that break wedlock
00:10:42.05\00:10:45.47
and shed blood are judged,
00:10:45.48\00:10:47.41
and I will give thee
blood in fury and jealousy.
00:10:47.42\00:10:51.66
And I will also give
thee into their hand,
00:10:51.67\00:10:53.84
and they shall throw
down thine eminent place,
00:10:53.85\00:10:57.09
and shall break
down thy high places,
00:10:57.10\00:10:59.06
they shall strip
thee also of thy clothes,
00:10:59.07\00:11:01.54
and shall take thy fair jewels,
00:11:01.55\00:11:03.38
and leave thee naked and bare.
00:11:03.39\00:11:06.53
They shall also bring
up a company against thee,
00:11:06.54\00:11:08.78
and they shall
stone thee with stones,
00:11:08.79\00:11:11.25
and thrust thee
through with their swords.
00:11:11.26\00:11:15.12
And they shall burn
thine houses with fire,
00:11:15.13\00:11:17.79
and execute judgments upon
thee in the sight of many women,
00:11:17.80\00:11:21.29
and I will cause thee to
cease from playing the harlot,
00:11:21.30\00:11:24.79
and thou also shalt
give no hire any more.
00:11:24.80\00:11:27.78
So will I make my
fury toward thee to rest,
00:11:27.79\00:11:31.72
and my jealousy
shall depart from thee,
00:11:31.73\00:11:34.59
and I will be quiet,
and will be no more angry.
00:11:34.60\00:11:38.77
Because thou hast
not remembered the days
00:11:38.78\00:11:40.97
of thy youth, but hast
fretted me in all these things,
00:11:40.98\00:11:45.32
behold, therefore I
also will recompense thy way
00:11:45.33\00:11:49.58
upon thine head,
saith the Lord God,
00:11:49.59\00:11:52.81
and thou shalt not
commit this lewdness
00:11:52.82\00:11:54.44
above all thine abominations.
00:11:54.45\00:11:56.61
Behold, every one
that useth proverbs
00:11:56.62\00:11:59.42
shall use this
proverb against thee,
00:11:59.43\00:12:01.88
saying, as is the
mother, so is her daughter.
00:12:01.89\00:12:06.78
Thou art thy mother's daughter,
00:12:06.79\00:12:08.89
that lotheth her
husband and her children,
00:12:08.90\00:12:11.70
and thou art the
sister of thy sisters,
00:12:11.71\00:12:14.29
which lothed their
husbands and their children,
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.84
your mother was an Hittite,
and your father an Amorite.
00:12:17.85\00:12:21.80
And thine elder
sister is Samaria,
00:12:21.81\00:12:24.16
she and her daughters
that dwell at thy left hand,
00:12:24.17\00:12:27.92
and thy younger sister,
that dwelleth at thy right hand,
00:12:27.93\00:12:30.51
is Sodom and her daughters.
00:12:30.52\00:12:33.48
Yet hast thou not
walked after their ways,
00:12:33.49\00:12:35.95
nor done after
their abominations,
00:12:35.96\00:12:37.86
but, as if that
were a very little thing,
00:12:37.87\00:12:40.56
thou wast corrupted more
than they in all thy ways.
00:12:40.57\00:12:44.72
As I live, saith the
Lord God, Sodom thy sister
00:12:44.73\00:12:48.72
hath not done,
she nor her daughters,
00:12:48.73\00:12:50.61
as thou hast done,
thou and thy daughters.
00:12:50.62\00:12:54.22
Behold, this was the iniquity
of thy sister Sodom, pride,
00:12:54.23\00:12:59.02
fulness of bread,
and abundance of idleness
00:12:59.03\00:13:03.00
was in her and in her daughters,
00:13:03.01\00:13:05.88
neither did she strengthen
the hand of the poor and needy.
00:13:05.89\00:13:09.95
And they were haughty,
and committed abomination
00:13:09.96\00:13:12.39
before me, therefore I
took them away as I saw good.
00:13:12.40\00:13:16.98
Neither hath Samaria
committed half of thy sins,
00:13:16.99\00:13:20.56
but thou hast multiplied thine
abominations more than they,
00:13:20.57\00:13:24.94
and hast justified thy sisters
in all thine abominations
00:13:24.95\00:13:29.05
which thou hast done.
00:13:29.06\00:13:31.40
Thou also, which
hast judged thy sisters,
00:13:31.41\00:13:34.43
bear thine own
shame for thy sins
00:13:34.44\00:13:36.72
that thou hast committed
more abominable than they,
00:13:36.73\00:13:39.57
they are more
righteous than thou,
00:13:39.58\00:13:42.21
yea, be thou confounded
also, and bear thy shame,
00:13:42.22\00:13:45.86
in that thou hast
justified thy sisters.
00:13:45.87\00:13:49.67
When I shall bring
again their captivity,
00:13:49.68\00:13:52.12
the captivity of
Sodom and her daughters,
00:13:52.13\00:13:54.70
and the captivity of
Samaria and her daughters,
00:13:54.71\00:13:56.79
then will I bring again
the captivity of thy captives
00:13:56.80\00:13:59.27
in the midst of them, That thou
mayest bear thine own shame,
00:13:59.28\00:14:04.08
and mayest be confounded
in all that thou hast done,
00:14:04.09\00:14:07.86
in that thou art
a comfort unto them.
00:14:07.87\00:14:11.02
When thy sisters,
Sodom and her daughters,
00:14:11.03\00:14:13.84
shall return to
their former estate,
00:14:13.85\00:14:16.26
and Samaria and her
daughters shall return
00:14:16.27\00:14:18.63
to their former estate,
then thou and thy daughters
00:14:18.64\00:14:22.16
shall return to
your former estate.
00:14:22.17\00:14:25.39
For thy sister
Sodom was not mentioned
00:14:25.40\00:14:27.46
by thy mouth in
the day of thy pride."
