00:14 Hello, and welcome to "His Words Are Life."
00:17 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today
00:18 we'll continue to read together
00:20 in the Book of Jeremiah.
00:21 But first, let's pray before we start.
00:24 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity
00:26 to sit and listen to these words
00:29 from so many thousands of years ago,
00:32 words of Your redemption of Your people
00:35 and thank you for redeeming us.
00:37 Please be with us now as we read.
00:39 We love You so much.
00:41 Thank you for loving us, amen.
00:43 We are reading of the redemption of Israel
00:45 according to the prophet Jeremiah,
00:48 picking up in Jeremiah Chapter 31 with verse 12
00:51 and this is the King James Version.
00:54 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
00:58 and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord,
01:01 for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young
01:04 of the flock and of the herd, and their soul shall be
01:07 as a watered garden, and they shall
01:09 not sorrow any more at all.
01:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance,
01:16 both young men and old together, for I will turn
01:20 their mourning into joy, and will comfort them,
01:24 and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
01:27 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness,
01:31 and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,
01:34 saith the Lord.
01:37 Thus saith the Lord, A voice was heard in Ramah,
01:41 lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rahel weeping
01:44 for her children refused to be comforted for her children,
01:49 because they were not.
01:52 Thus saith the Lord, Refrain thy voice from weeping,
01:55 and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be
01:59 rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come
02:03 again from the land of the enemy.
02:06 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord,
02:09 that thy children shall come again to their own border.
02:14 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus,
02:18 Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised,
02:21 as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke, turn thou me,
02:25 and I shall be turned, for thou art the Lord my God.
02:30 Surely after that I was turned, I repented,
02:33 and after that I was instructed,
02:35 I smote upon my thigh, I was ashamed, yea,
02:38 even confounded, because I did bear
02:40 the reproach of my youth.
02:43 Is Ephraim my dear son?
02:45 Is he a pleasant child?
02:47 For since I spake against him,
02:48 I do earnestly remember him still,
02:51 therefore my bowels are troubled for him,
02:54 I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
02:58 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps,
03:03 set thine heart toward the highway,
03:05 even the way which thou wentest, turn again,
03:07 O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
03:12 How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter?
03:15 For the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth,
03:18 A woman shall compass a man.
03:20 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
03:23 As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah
03:26 and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring
03:29 again their captivity, The Lord bless thee,
03:32 O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
03:36 And there shall dwell in Judah itself,
03:39 and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen,
03:43 and they that go forth with flocks.
03:44 For I have satiated the weary soul,
03:47 and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
03:50 Upon this I awaked, and beheld, and my sleep
03:53 was sweet unto me.
03:56 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
03:58 that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah
04:02 with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
04:05 And it shall come to pass, that like
04:08 as I have watched over them, to pluck up,
04:10 and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy,
04:13 and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build,
04:17 and to plant, saith the Lord.
04:20 In those days, they shall say no more,
04:23 The fathers have eaten a sour grape,
04:25 and the children's teeth are set on edge.
04:28 But every one shall die for his own iniquity,
04:31 every man that eateth the sour grape,
04:33 his teeth shall be set on edge.
04:36 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
04:38 that I will make a new covenant
04:40 with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
04:43 Not according to the covenant that I made with
04:46 their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand
04:49 to bring them out of the land of Egypt,
04:52 which my covenant they brake,
04:54 although I was a husband unto them, saith the Lord,
04:57 But this shall be the covenant that I will
04:59 make with the house of Israel, After those days,
05:02 saith the Lord, I will put my law
05:06 in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts,
05:10 and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
05:14 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour,
05:17 and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord,
05:20 for they shall all know me, from the least of them
05:24 unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord,
05:26 for I will forgive their iniquity,
05:29 and I will remember their sin no more.
05:33 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun
05:36 for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon
05:40 and of the stars for a light by night,
05:43 which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar,
05:46 The Lord of hosts is his name, If those ordinances depart
05:51 from before me, saith the Lord,
05:54 then the seed of Israel also shall cease
05:57 from being a nation before me for ever.
06:00 Thus saith the Lord, If heaven above can be measured,
06:03 and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
06:06 I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
06:08 for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
06:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the city
06:14 shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel
06:18 unto the gate of the corner.
06:20 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it
06:24 upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
06:28 And the whole valley of the dead bodies,
06:30 and of the ashes, and all the fields
06:33 unto the brook of Kidron,
06:34 unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east,
06:37 shall be holy unto the Lord, it shall not be plucked up,
06:41 nor thrown down any more for ever.
06:46 Continuing in Jeremiah Chapter 32
06:49 and this is the King James Version.
06:52 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord
06:55 in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah,
06:58 which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
07:01 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem,
07:03 and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up
07:05 in the court of the prison,
07:06 which was in the king of Judah's house.
07:09 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying,
07:12 Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord,
07:16 Behold, I will give this city into the hand
07:19 of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it,
07:21 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape
07:24 out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely
07:26 be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon,
07:28 and shall speak with him mouth to mouth,
07:30 and his eyes shall behold his eyes, And he shall lead
07:33 Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall
07:35 he be until I visit him, saith the Lord,
07:37 though ye fight with the Chaldeans,
07:39 ye shall not prosper.
07:42 And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me,
07:45 saying, Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine
07:50 uncle shall come unto thee, saying,
07:52 Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth,
07:55 for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
08:00 So Hanameel mine uncle's son
08:02 came to me in the court of the prison
08:05 according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me,
08:08 Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth,
08:11 which is in the country of Benjamin,
08:13 for the right of inheritance is thine,
08:15 and the redemption is thine, buy it for thyself.
08:19 And then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.
08:22 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son,
08:24 that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money,
08:27 even seventeen shekels of silver.
08:30 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it,
08:32 and took witnesses, and weighed him
08:34 the money in the balances.
08:37 So I took the evidence of the purchase,
08:39 both that which was sealed according
08:41 to the law and custom, and that which was open,
08:44 And I gave the evidence of the purchase
08:47 unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah,
08:52 in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son,
08:54 and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed
08:56 the book of the purchase, before all the Jews
08:59 that sat in the court of the prison.
09:01 And I charged Baruch saying,
09:04 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
09:07 Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase,
09:10 both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open,
09:14 and put them in an earthen vessel,
09:16 that they may continue many days.
09:19 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
09:22 Houses and fields and vineyards
09:25 shall be possessed again in this land.
09:29 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase
09:32 unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
09:34 I prayed unto the Lord, saying, Ah Lord God!
09:40 behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
09:44 by thy great power and stretched out arm,
09:48 and there is nothing too hard for thee,
09:52 Thou shewest loving kindness unto thousands,
09:55 and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers
09:58 into the bosom of their children after them,
10:00 the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts,
10:05 is his name, Great in counsel, and mighty in work,
10:10 for thine eyes are open upon all the ways
10:13 of the sons of men, to give every one according
10:17 to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings,
10:21 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
10:24 even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men,
10:28 and hast made thee a name, as at this day,
10:31 And hast brought forth thy people Israel
10:33 out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders,
10:36 and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm,
10:39 and with great terror,
10:41 And hast given them this land, which thou didst
10:43 swear to their fathers to give them,
10:45 a land flowing with milk and honey, And they came in,
10:48 and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voice,
10:53 neither walked in thy law, they have done nothing of all
10:57 that thou commandedst them to do,
10:59 therefore thou hast caused all this evil
11:00 to come upon them, Behold the mounts,
11:03 they are come unto the city to take it,
11:05 and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
11:08 that fight against it, because of the sword,
11:09 and of the famine, and of the pestilence,
11:12 and what thou hast spoken is come to pass,
11:14 and, behold, thou seest it.
11:17 And thou hast said unto me, O Lord God,
11:19 Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses,
11:22 for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
11:25 And then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
11:28 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh,
11:34 is there any thing too hard for me?
11:37 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will give
11:40 this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand
11:43 of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
11:45 and he shall take it, And the Chaldeans,
11:47 that fight against this city, shall come and set
11:49 fire on this city, and burn it with the houses,
11:52 upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal,
11:55 and poured out drink offerings unto other gods,
11:57 to provoke me to anger.
12:00 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
12:02 have only done evil before me from their youth,
12:04 for the children of Israel have only provoked
12:06 me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
12:10 For this city hath been to me as a provocation
12:12 of mine anger and of my fury from the day
12:15 that they built it even unto this day,
12:17 that I should remove it from before my face,
12:20 Because of all the evil of the children
12:21 of Israel and of the children of Judah,
12:23 which they have done to provoke me to anger,
12:25 they, their kings, their princes, their priests,
12:28 and their prophets, and the men of Judah,
12:29 and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
12:32 And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face,
12:36 though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them,
12:40 yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
12:43 But they set their abominations in the house,
12:45 which is called by my name, to defile it.
12:48 And they built the high places of Baal,
12:50 which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom,
12:52 to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through
12:54 the fire unto Molech, which I commanded them not,
12:57 neither came it into my mind,
12:59 that they should do this abomination,
13:00 to cause Judah to sin.
13:02 And now therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel,
13:06 concerning this city, whereof ye say,
13:08 It shall be delivered into the hand
13:10 of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine,
13:12 and by the pestilence, Behold, I will gather them
13:16 out of all countries, whither I have driven
13:17 them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath,
13:20 and I will bring them again unto this place,
13:24 and I will cause them to dwell safely,
13:27 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God,
13:31 And I will give them one heart, and one way,
13:34 that they may fear me for ever,
13:35 for the good of them, and of their children after them,
13:38 And I will make an everlasting
13:40 covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them,
13:42 to do them good, but I will put my fear in their hearts,
13:45 that they shall not depart from me.
13:48 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good,
13:51 and I will plant them in this land assuredly
13:53 with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
13:57 For thus saith the Lord, Like as I have brought
13:59 all this great evil upon this people,
14:02 so will I bring upon them all the good
14:04 that I have promised them.
14:06 And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say,
14:09 It is desolate without man or beast, it is given into
14:11 the hand of the Chaldeans.
14:13 Men shall buy fields for money,
14:15 and subscribe evidences, and seal them,
14:17 and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin,
14:19 and in the places about Jerusalem,
14:21 and in the cities of Judah,
14:23 and in the cities of the mountains,
14:25 and in the cities of the valley,
14:26 and in the cities of the south,
14:29 for I will cause their captivity to return,
14:32 saith the Lord.
14:34 Thank you for being with me to read the Bible,
14:36 and please join me again next time
14:37 to read Jeremiah together, good bye.
